Prisoner—Yes, certain. Witness—Why, I have three dozen and a•half of them at home, which I can produce. The prosecutor said the dishonesty of the prisoner was not confined to the present charge.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBING THE HON. MRS. StLLIERS. — DETERMINED PURSUlT.—Patrick Calligan, no lime, saddler, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealinf a table cover, the pro perty of the Hon.

THE EARTHQUAKE AT MENDOZA. FIFTEEN THOUSAND LIVES LOST. We have now xeceived full information of the total destruction, on March 20, by earthquake, of one, if not three, populous cities of the Argentine republic—namely, Mendoza, San Juan, and San Luis. The former has certainly been destroyed, and very few of its population of 15,000 souls have escaped to tell the fearful tale. The news was sent by telegraph to Valparaiso, and was confirmed by the subsequent arrival of a mail courier from the ruined city. LATEST BETTING. THE DERBY. The latter stated that he arrived at Mendoza on the morning of the 20th ; that at half-past eight p.m. a brief but excessively violent shock of earth quake, lasting but six or eight seconds, destroyed every building, public and private, in the city, and that the number who were enabled to escape was very limited. The streets being narrow, the build ings high, and the inhabitants totally unused to such phenomena, were paralysed with terror, and neglected to seek refuge in the open courts of their dwellings until too late. The postmaster was buried beneath the ruins of the post-office ; the governor was missing ; and when asked why he brought no certificate that the mails were lost, the messenger replied, " There was no one left to write it, nor materials to write with." The aspect presented by the city after the first shock was terrific. Hoarse subterranean thunders ear, animals of all kinds rushed franti callyopen spaces howling, the earth opened e h d ar the udgv ho mthi te e d forth floods of water, while to crown the scenes of horror, flames burst from the ruins and consumed nearly the entire business por tion of the city, with its dead, its dying, and its wounded. On the 28th a number of letters were received at e residingthiant Va!paraiso and at S an ti ago, by relatives and friends of thn entertained , Chileans M t e h n e d oezaar,l earlier t ateheeouhnotpee wereuntil exaggerated, soon gave way to the dreadful cer tainty that the calamity had not yet been painted in colours sufficiently vivid. The earth still con- 1 tinned to tremble, the few walls that had resisted the first shock one by one fell, until now no vestige of a building remains. The mountain roads are in a most dangerous condition, not only • on account of the huge masses of rock that have already fallen and obstructed the road, but because the vibration of the earth is still hurling them down from the heights above into the valleys. The gauches or natives of the surrounding country, hastened to the spot, not to assist the needy or aid in rescuing the wounded from a lingering death, but to seek for plunder among the smoking ruins, and to snatch thelittlesaved from the wretched sur vivors. One gentleman writing from thence, after describing these horrors, says:—" I believe that in a few days we shall have no other law here than that of the poignard." The prison was destroyed : out of 100 inmates 92 perished. The remaining eight, who were already hardened villains, formed themselves into a band of freebooters, and had gone, it was supposed, to the mountain passes to intercept and rob the parties sent from Chili for the relief of the sufferers. One woman was found robbed and murdered by the roadside. She was recognised as one who was on her way to Mendoza to see her family. They, too, had all perished on the 20th, In the Jesuit church there was preaching that night. The services had jut concluded, an d th e congregation was about dispersing when th e s h oc k came. The few who had reached the plaza were saved, but the walls and roof of the building fell inward with a crash, and priest and penitent together were hurried into eternity. The latest advices from Mendoza represent the suffering to be extreme, there being neither food, clothing, nor shelter for the survivors, everything being buried beneath the ruins. They also state that San Juan and San Luis, two other populous cities of the confederation, lave shared a like:fate, the San Juan river having after the shock left its bed and swept over the town, utterly destroying what the Earthquake had spared. This news is not, however, fully confirmed. . ~ As soon as the disastrous news was rendered beyond question, the Government and private in dividuals vied with one another in energetic efforts to send immediate relief to their suffering brethren. Without waiting for the completion of the work, on the 30th a party of physicians and others left for the scene of the disaster, bearing medicines, food, and clothing, and accompahied by a small body of troops. The gloom and terror spread throughout the re public of Chili by this awful calamity may be ima gined. ined " Situated upon an eminentl y vo l can i c saysevid evidence e l e e t e t f e r t h e f r i o n m s e V e u a r l i p t ayr of f i s e o " we have u , r tenure of c r o eg n i s o ta n n; existence.

Lord Sidney Godolphin Osborne, of Bartrams, Hampstead, Middlesex, were proved in her Ma jesty's Court. of Probate on the 2d inst., by the executors, Sir Ed ward Dundas, Bart., of Beech wood, Midlothian, N.B. ; Capt. Frederick Paget, Coldstream Guards; and Capt. G. J. W. Melville, Coldstream Guards, the testator's nephew. The personal property was sworn under £200,000. The will bears date Sept. 11, 1845, the codicils 1847 and 1849. The large fortune of which the testator died possessed, consisting both of realty and per sonalty, he has bequeathed to his brother, Lord Godolphin a portion of it in tru s t d ur i ng hi s lif e , and upon his decease to pass to his children. The testator also gives to his brother the residue of his estates and property absolutely. These bequests to his brother are subject to the payment of various legacies to friends, his executors, his ser vants, and others. We must not omit to mention that the testator, Lord Osborne, died a bachelor, at the age of seventy one. The will ofLieutenant-Colonel Duncan M'Pher son, of Welbeck-street, Cavendish-square, was proved in London on the 27th ult., by the execu tors therein nominated, being his relict, together with the testator's brother, George Gordon M.Pher son, Esq., and his nephew, Berkley Augustus M'Pherson, Esq. The will bears date in 1857, and the Colonel died at Boulogne on the 6th February last. The testator bequeaths all his property, real and personal, in trust for the benefit of his widow during her life, subject to the contingency of their two daughters marrying in the lifetime of their mother ; should this event occur, the daughters are to receive a fourth each of the entire property, and these ladies will also ultimately, on the decease of the widow, take the residue. The will of John Clarke, Esq., Beaufoy-terrace, Maida Vale, was provedpin the London Court on the 26th of last month by Henry R. Mark, Esq., of Highbury-crescent, and James Searle, Esq., of Bar tholomew-lane, the executors. The personalty was sworn at £16,000. Mr. Clarke died on the 23d of February last, and his will bears date the 9th of October, 1858. This gentleman has left his pro perty principally to public charities and institu tions. He directs the realty to be sold, which, to gether with the personalty, is to be applied to the payment of all the various bequests. Mr. Clarke possessed feelings of philanthropy rarely, if ever, surpassed, as we may almost say the whole of his property, with a few exceptions, is devoted to cha ritable purposes. We give the list of the charities referred to :—To the British and Foreign Bible Society, the Church Missionary Society, and the London City Missions, immediate legacies of 1.:500 to each. The Religious Tract Society, the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, St. G eorge ' s -fi e ld s , and the Bishop for the time being of Rupertsland for the missions there, £250 each. To the Scripture Readers and the Moravian Mission Societies, £2OO each ; and a like bequest of £2OO to each of the following hospitals : Charing-cross, King's College, St. Mark's, St. George's, St. Mary's, and the Gray's Inn-road Free Hospital ; added to which the sum of £lOO is directed to be laid out in aid of local charities in connexion with St. Paul's Chapel, Kilburn. The residue of the property is also given amongst the four first enumerated charities and the two executors in six equal proportions. This philanthropic gentle man has most generously directed that all his e quests of every kind are to be paid free of legacy duty. The will of Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Wm. Pasley, K.C.B , Hon. D. C.L., was proved in London on the 9th inst. This distinguished officer belonged to that scientific branch of the army, the Royal En gineers, and passed a long life in the discharge of his military duties, and held the appointment of In spector-General of Railways. The General's will bears date Nov. 8, 1856, and the executors nomi nated are his sons, Captains Charles Pasley, R.E., and George M. Pasley, R.A., and his son-in-law, , Captain H. W. Taylor, R.E. The personalty was sworn under £12,000. General Sir Charles Pasley's will is strictly a family one. He has left his pro perty, real and personal, together with investments in railway shares and property in India, to his two sons and daughters, the wife of Capt. Taylor. There is an exception in favour of his eldest son, to whom the General has left his plate bearing the family arms, books, &c., together with a gold snuff-box presented to the testator by the Corporation of the City of London in 1838 for his valuable services in blowing up and removing the wrecks of two vessels iver which obstructed the navigation of the R Thames. This gallant General died at his residence, Norfolk-crescent, Hyde park, on the 16th February last, at the advanced age of 81. The will and two codicils of Ralph Lindsay, Esq., M.A., of Durham Lodge, Norwood, was proved in London on the 25th ult., by the Rev. Ralph Lindsay Loughborough, vicar of Pirton, Herts, The testator's nephew, and William Elliott Duncan, Esq., solicitor, London, the executors. This gentleman is of ancient descent. He died possessed of real and personal property, together with Church livings, which he bequeathed in the following manner : To his nephew, the Rev. R. L. Loughborough, he leaves the presentation of the livings of Braintree, Essex, and of Pirton and lckleford, in Herts, together with his copyhold estates situate at Kennington. This gentleman also takes a fourth part of the residue of the whole of the testator's estate, to whom he has left exclusively his carriages, horses, &c. To his nephew, T. Lindsay, resident in New South Wales he bequeaths also a fourth of the residue of his estate. To his niece, Jane Spink, who resided with the testator, he also leaves a fourth of the residue together with his furniture, library, and other effects. To his niece, Isabella Jane Duncan, wife of W. E. Duncan, Esq., the testator's executor, he leaves the remaining fourth of the residue, bequeath ing to the latter his law library. There are legacies to his servants, and an annuity of £25 to his late coachman. The will of Sir William. Burnett, K.C.8., M.D., F.R S., dated December 7, 1859, was proved in the London Court on the 10th inst. by his son, Rev. W. Burnett, M.A., rector of Tangmere, Sussex, one of the executors ; a power being reserved to the tes tator's &lighter, Mrs. Notts, widow, the other exe cutor. This gallant and esteemed gentleman was well known, but especially to his naval brethren. Sir Sir William had passed a long life in the n I av t: l N'ile, vice, was present at the battles of St. and Trafalgar, and for these and other serv i ces Sinereials, be created K.C.8., and received four Wad ultimately came physician to William IV., t* and medical de. was appointed Director-Generall3 ) arnett has left all Vincent, was un mem bers partment of the navy.

THE RUSSIAN N AVY. — According to official docu ments published by the Russian Minister of Marine, Russia► now possesses 242 steamers, of an aggregate power of 36,935 horses, and 2,374 guns, Also 71 sailing vessel's, with 1,477 THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY (LIMITED.) A special general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, yesterday, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of the affairs of the company, and generally on the course to be adopted with respect thereto. Mr. Baker occupied the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the presence of so many persons that day showed that there was no neces• site to apologise for calling this meeting. Since the last meeting they had to encounter almost insur mountable difficulties, and they had secured some hsc sure id n e fi gt de oht e n o c sv e hei i rp n at manyl e the ship, ordinary oof their fo r they p dr nm a ci d uu lm b t he e e snmtarhbh they e e yn to wtthey ernye thrust into others by the decision of the Court of Com mon Pleas. They oo nho smoothly yea them, t r ,o a a n the tn g hd e ca d otpm t re h epn a vad t ennwyt eh shipcdeonn thest ihd e s ec h rad o are u rbcy l l d e: n i oa g s it out. ge This ws caused the company sw ge oa nmonnr sail on the day f or which it was advertised, and all whoie the e d already ship T h taken - l t o h s e s i , r from y ass a several edeclining s persons rectors had felt it their duty, and there w a s no doubt it was so, to persevere in these legal pro ceedings. He then quoted the judgment of the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench. He thought, after such a decision, they would acquit the direc tors of any improper conduct in questioning the award ; and the decision of the Court of Common Pleas on the cross-actions, which were subsequently brought, placed the company in the most difficult position ; they were placed entirely at Mr. Russell's mercy, and he showed every desire not to increase their difficulties. After much negotiation it was at last determined amongst themselves (the direc tors) to raise enough money to settle the claim for the present, and enable the ship to go to sea. The directors therefore paid in cash £8,569 9s. 4d., and gave a mortgage to Mr. Russell for £11,340, pay able in one month after the return of the ship to Liverpool, together with other mortgages and liens, amounting in the whole to £35,000. By this means the ship was got off on the Ist of May, and he felt, when he saw her go, that the company had the property to be proud of. (Laughter.) Thus far was the history to the sailing of the vessel. They then looked to the state of their affairs, and they saw that there was a fair opportunity in America for the employment of the ship, and that she might be so employed without coming under the opera tion of the Foreign Enlistment Act; but after the recent proclamation he did not feel that they would be doing what was safe if they allowed the ship to be chartered ; but he had induced Mr. Hors fall to put the notice on the paper of a question to the Minister for Foreign Affairs as to having ships chartered in America before the proclama tion arrived in America could be effected. It was scarcely likely the American Government would come to the terms proposed, and there was the prospect of the ship being sold with advan tage. Subscription list up to yesterday shows £26,000 out. The four directors subscribed £12,000 out of the £26,000. Mr. Brassy has subscribed £5,000, and the Rev. Mr. Nicholson has subscribed £3,000. (Cheers.) So he congratulated them that six persons had subscribed £20,000, and he should be sorry to think that they would not make up the remainder. It was to their interest, and they ran no risk. It was not improbable that the ship would return in a few days, and within a month of her return the mortgages must be paid off. He called on them to make up the necessary sum of £35,000, that the ship might be free in the hands of the directors to sell to the Government of this country ; and if they were so blind to their interests as to refuse to buy it, there was no doubt others would. The Rev. Mr. NICHOLSON then dwelt upon the difficulties by which the company was surround() J, and recommended the shareholders to subscribe and carry out the advice of the directors. Mr. MORTON wished to ask the following ques tions :—Were there any open claims of which the directors were aware in addition to the £35,000 ? Mr. Russell had a second mortgage ; what was the first, and who held it ? Who were to appoint the trustees for the 10 per cent. bondholders ? The CHAIRMAN said to the 30th of June £30,000 covered all but some outstandinc , matters. One was Mr. Parry's claim for .£5,876, which was the sub ject of arbitration, and there were some trifling debts, amounting to £1,172; .£35,000 would cover everything to the 30th of Jene. The first mortgage was for £lO,OOO, lent by the bank with which he was associated. Then as to who were to be ap pointed trustees, the directors expected to nominate one, and leave the shareholders to nominate the other. Mr. SAMUEL TAYLOR thought that they owed nothing tl Mr. Russell for his forbearance. Mr. T. G. TAYLOR wished to know why the great ship had not taken more third-class passengers. He thought that they ought to express an idea of the price they wanted for the ship. It ought to fetch £500,000. The CHAIRMAN said every accommodation was provided for third-class passengers that they thought necessary ; they had refused a large number of Mormons who wished to go in the ship at £3 a head ; they had been unable to take some emi grants who offered only a day or two before the ship sailed. Mr. MORGAN said he should subscribe a thousand pounds. Would the ship be sold without the pro prietors first being consulted? The CHAIRMAN said the directors would not con clude any sale without consulting the proprietors. After some further discussion the proceedings terminated, and several gentlemen put down their names as subscribers. THIS DAY'S MARJIETS. COVENT GARDEN.
