2HE NAVY. The line-of-battle screw steamer Bombay, 81, 400 horse-power, returned to her moorings at Folly Point, Chatham, yesterday afternoon, after making a two days' trial trip for the purpose of testing her engines and machinery. The Bombay was built a few years ago for the Government at Bom- bay, and before her alteration to a screw steamer was one of the finest line-of-battle sailing ships of her rating afloat. On being converted into a screw steamer at Chatham she was lengthened about 50 feet, and fitted with a pair of 400-horse power en gines. During the run the number of revolutions made per minute by the screw, with all the ;boilers at work, was 64, and at half-power 42 ; the draught of water forward was 20 feet 2 inches, and aft 16 feet 6 inches ; the average rate of speed during the trial being 10.19 knots. On the whole the engines worked satisfactorily. The Bombay is to be attached to the second division of the steam reserve at Chatham. The Warrior, 40, screw, Capt. the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., will be undocked at Portsmouth to day, and berthed in the harbour, where she will continue to receive her general outfit until the 10th inst. We have been officially requested to announce " that, as the painting of the interior of the ship will commence on Monday, no visitors will be allowed on board after to-day (Saturday)." The Emerald, 50, screw, Capt. A. Cumming, un der orders for Halifax, with Armstrong guns, shot, &c., for the West India squadron, embarked super numeraries at Spithead yesterday. She was ex pected to leave before daylight this morning. The screw steamship Donegal, 99, Capt. S. Osborn, one of the Channel fleet, arrived in Ply mouth Sound on Friday afternoon. The screw steamship Albion, 91, was hauled yes terday under the steam crane of the north basin at Keyham-station-yard, for the purpose of receiving her machinery. The Chesapeake, 50, screw frigate, Capt. R. Maguire, sailed from Spithead at daylight yesterday for Sheerness, where she is to dismantle and be put out of commission. The Rattlesnake, 21, screw steam corvette, which was some time since launched from No. 1 slip, Chatham dockyard, is being rapidly completed. She is still lying alongside the Gloucester, receiving hulk, in the harbour, and a large number of hands belonging to the yard are employed upon her interior fitments. The fitting of her engines and machinery is also making good progress under the hands of a large body of the men of the contractors, Messrs. Ravenhill, Salkeld, and Co. The-Lords of the Admiralty having directed the iron screw steamer Defence, 22, at Chatham, to be fitted with Cunningham's patent self-reefing top sa ifs, the invention is now being fitted to the yards an d masts at Chatham Dockyard, under the supe rintendence of the patentee. The fore and main yards for the Defence are each upwards of 90 feet in ,length, and weigh four tons each. The fore and main topmasts are 55 feet in length, which is some what less than is usually carried by vessels of simi lar rating. The Defence, however, will trust more to her lower masts, which are to be of wrought iron and of great strength and weight. The operation of placing the Defence in the third dock will take place at spring tide this afternoon, orders to that effect having been yesterday evening received from the Admiralty. It was originally intended to mast the Defence before she was docked, but, as every effort is to be made to get her to sea as quickly as possible, no time is to be lost in completing her; and, her iron lower masts not having yet arrived, it is decided that she shall no longer wait for them. The Defence draws about 22 feet 4 inches aft, and about 19 feet forward, but it is believed that not the least difficulty will be found in docking her, the blocks on which she will be placed having been reduced to give her a greater depth. About 100 additional shipwrights will be entered on Monday, to be employes in com pleting her internal fittings. A semi-official trial of a patented compass took place on - Wednesday evening on board her Majesty's ship Britwania at Portsmouth, under the supervi sion of Capt. Robert Harris, commanding the Bri tannia. The object of the invention is to dispense with the binnacle light on occasions when it may be necessary to do so. In the coasting trade it must be obvious to all that if the compass card could be read on a dark night at sea, without the helmsman's eyes being partially blinded by the binnacle light, a wonderful advantage would be gained in enabling the man steering the vessel to look instantly into the darkness surrounding its pathway with the same power of vision as before looking at the compass, a thing impossible under the present circumstances. The point is of equal importance to a ship 1,000 miles from land. The compass tested on 'Wednes day by Captain Harris and his officers is provided by its patentee with a card which he says will do away with the necessity for using any light in the binnacle to read its points on the darkest nights. The compass tested on Wednesday was of the size used for boat service, and against it was fitted one of the Britannia's ordinary boat compasses The night was so extraordinarily dark that the ordinary compass, to use the words of the officers present, " could not be seen," while all felt confident that they would feel no difficulty in steering a boat within a point by the patent compass without using a light." Capt. Harris has given a decidedly favourable opinion on its imme diate adoption into the Royal Navy as a boat corn- pass. The Java, old 50-gun sailing frigate, is to be brought down the harbour to be prepared as a tar get ship for the Excellent. A Portuguese screw corvette passed through Spithead to day on her way to Southampton, and exchanged salutes with the flag-ship of the Com mander-in-Chief. The Swedish frigate Nordkjoping, 32, Capt. Ad lersparre, from Carlscrona for New York, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday afternoon. The dockyard lighter }lamoaze, W. Webber, mas ter, from Deptford, arrived in Plymouth on Thurs day. ,;,„ The Sanspareil arrived at Plymouth last night with naval and military invalids and condemned stores. She left Malta on the 19th and Gibraltar 1 on the 28th ult., and experienced fine weather on her passage home. The following vessels have been chartered by the War Department for the conveyance of stores to India, China, and the colonies :—The Pride of the Ocean, 1,169 tons, and the Fairlie, 755 tons, for lorabay ; the Star Queen, 769 tons, for Hong Kong ; the Damietta, 265 tons, for St. Helena ; the Witch of the Seas, 343 tons, for the Cape of Good Hope; and the Matlah, 313 tons, for Algoa Bay.

Ja,kson, com pleted the half yearly inspection of th batteries of the depot brigade belonging to the übdivision at Sheerness garrison, on Thursday evening. On the arrival of Major-Gen. Evre he was received by Col. W. R. Nedham, commandant at Sheerness, Col. S. Freeth, commanding ,Royal Engineers, Lieutenant- Colonel B. Talbot, and the other officers of the garrison staff. After examining the brigade, bat teries, and officers' books in the orderly-room, Major-Gen. Eyre proceeded to the parade ground, in the centre bastion, where the four batteries were drawn up in line, in open order, under the com mand of Lieut.-Col. Talbot, when the officers and men of each battery were minutely inspected. At the termination of the inspection Major•-Gen. Eyre conveyed to Lieut.-Col. Talbot his gratification at the marked improvement which had taken place since his last inspection, and at the same time re marked on the general good character of the men of the Royal Artillery at Sheerness. Lieut.-Col. J. F. M. Browne, C. 8., has joined the headquarters of the Royal Engineers' establish ment, Chatham, and will take over the second com mand from Lieut.-Col. H. B. Collinson. The volunteers from the Royal Marine Light In fantry for the Royal Marine Artillery will leave headquarters, Chatham, this morning for Ports mouth. Yesterday morning a detachment of the Grena dier Guards, consisting of 32 officers, 730 men, 59 women, 77 childrfn, and seven horses, arrived in Liverpool from Dublin in the steamers Windsor and Trafalgar, and proceeded at once by railway for London. On the same day a detachment of the Coldstream Guards, consisting of 16 officers, 680 men, 39 women, 38 children, and five horses, arrived in Liverpool, and were embarked for Dub lin in the same steamers. Last night the right wing of the first battalion of Grenadier Guards, numbering about 400, commanded by Col. Percy, arrived in London from Liverpool. Capt. Caffin, C. 8., director of stores, on Thurs- day, accompanied by Mr. Stewart, principal military storekeeper at Portsmouth, inspected the chief pow der magazines and depots at Tipner and Stampshaw. After the serious riots which, in the early part of this year took place at the new convict prison at Chatham, the authorities decided upon maintaining a constant . military guard at that establishment. This has been done, and the soldiers have been located in a building within the wall of the prison. The extensive contractors, Messrs. Myers, of Lon don, are now, however, engaged in the erection of a commodious suite of rooms on the open space in front of the prison and near the principal entrance, which, when completed, are to be handed over for the accommodation of the military on duty there, while the building they now occupy will be devoted to the use of convict warders. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The ordinary weekly meeting of this board was held yesterday, at their offices in Spring-gardens; Mr. John Thwaites in the chair. The cash statement showed that the balances in the hands of the treasurer were—on current ac counts, £28,304 16s. 11d. ; on deposit accounts, £110,500 ; and New Three per Cent. Annuities, £27,412 7s. 7d. • _ APPOINTMENT OF INSPECTORS OF GAS-METERS. The report from the committee of the whole board was brought up and laid before the board. It stated that the committee had considered the qualifica tions of the several candidates for appointment as inspectors of gas-meters, and that they had selected the following gentlemen, whom they considered best qualified for the office, viz :—Mr. Airey, Mr. Billow, Mr. Curley, Mr. Davey, Mr. Dethridge, Mr. Gomme, Mr. Land, Mr. La Roche, Mr. Mills, Mr. Pearson, Mr. Taunton, and Mr. Ward. The Board then proceeded to the election of three gentlemen from the above candidates for the office of inspectors, and, having conducted it in the usual manner, the Chairman announced that the success ful competitors were Mr, Airey-, Mr. Dethridg©, and Mr. Mills. A long discussion then ensued as to the powers the committee appointed to carry out the act for testing and stamping gas meters was to be invested with, in order to enable them to provide testing houses in sufficient numbers so as not to inconve nience the meter manufacturers, and it was decided that they should have power to provide temporary testing-houses pending the erection of permanent houses for that purpose. PROGRESS OF THE MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS. Mr. Bazalgette, the engineer to the Board, presented his monthly report on the progress of the main drainage works. It stated that the objects sought to be obtained by these works were to intercept nearly 52,000,000 gallons of sewage which now empty themselves into the Thames, and by means of covered channels, so far as prac ticable, to convey them to points in that river remote from the metropolis—viz., Barking Creek on the north side, and Erith Marshes on the south side. The works in progress were designed to give deep outfalls, and prevent in future the flooding of the outlying districts in times of heavy rains. They were also intended to carry off, not only the sewage, but the rain which washed the streets, except such heavy rains as occurred about 24 times a year, on which occasions the old sewers would act as safc•ty valves, and let oil the surplus water into the river, The original estimate of the intercepting scheme was about £3,000,000, aril, in spite of the rise in the price of bricks and other building materials, it was expected they would be completed for about that sum ; but it would require another half-million to improve and cover the tributary sewers before the drainage of land could be pronounced as per fected. However desirable it might be, it was not possible to convey the whole of the sewage to the required level at the outfalls by gravitation, for a large portion of London which was densely inha bited was several feet below th© level of high water in the rivee. For that reason the whole area on each side of the Thames had been :diverted into three levels, and the sewage was carried as far as practicable from two of the upper levels by gravi tation; but the sewage from the low levels had to be raised by pumping, by which means the low dis tricts would become as dry and as well drained as the upper districts, and the waters of the upper will no longer inundate the lower districts. The maim drainage scheme was commenced in February, 1859, and out of the estimated £3,000,000 works to the amount of nearly £2,000,000 were now under contract, and most of them in a forward state and rapidly progressing. Those contracts embraced about fifty miles of main intercepting sewers, which were mostly under ground, but in some places they were above ground, crossing alternately under and over navigable rivers, railways, canals, and roads, and including pumping stations, aqueducts, pen stocks, tidefiaps, and other appliances. The northern high-level sewer, which extended nine miles in length, from Hampstead to the River Lee, at Bow, formed a substitute *for the open Hackney Brook and Fleet sewers, and was now entirely completed. The northern out - fall sewer, which extended from the River Lee to the River Thames at Barking Reach, received the united streams of the high and middle level sewers at the Old Ford penstock chamber, and con veyed them still by gravitation through two large tunnels to Abb e y Mill s , w h ere by a p u mping estab lishment the low level sewer would be raised to this ' hi gh lev9l, and th ence th e w h o l e sewage o f London north of theThatnewou l 1 flow through three paral lel ch annel I to the outfall. This was the largest contract y e t l et, and, treble lines o f e unlike others, the double and ewers would be above the ground, instead of un d er i t. These sewers were now in course of const ruct i on upon a raised bank of con crete,y iron aqueducts over seven and they cro sse db branches of the river L ee, and passed over and works under several railways. The were progress ing rapidly, and the total value of the work done was about £93,000. The middle level sewer contract extended from Kensal-green to the penstock cham ber, -Old Ford, Bow. It was 1.21- miles in length, and varied from 4ft. by 2fc. 6in. to l2ft. by Oft:in diameter. Every arrangement wee being made by the contractors to prevent incouv , euience to the im.

The total value of the work executed under this contract was £63,000. The Ranelagh st , )rm overflow was nearly completed, and the value ori the work executed was £22,000. The southern high-level sewer embraced two lines, the one fall ing from Clapham to New Cross, and the other from Dulwich to New Cross, where they had been con structed side by side in one trench, but at different levels, under the Brighte, North Kent, and North Woolwich Railways, and along the New Cross-road to the Broadway, Deptford. At Deptford-creek they discharged their storm-waters through two sewers each of lift. in diameter, and the sewage would be conveyed by four lines of iron pipes into the outfall sewer by gravitation. Between six and seven miles of sewers were now completed under the contract at an expenditure of £llB,OOO. The southern outfall sewer would convey the sewage pumped into it from the low-level sewer and from the other sewers through Greenwich by tunnel, one mile long, under Woolwich and on to Erith Marshes, to a pumping station at its outlet into the river. Of that work about five miles 11A- feet in diameter, including the Woolwich tunnel, had been completed, at an expenditure of £206,000. Up to the present time nearly £1,000,000 had been expended upon the works, pur chase of land, and incidentals. Considering all the circumstances that had attended their operations he thought they were proceeding satisfactorily, and that the main drainage scheme would be completed in one year and a half or two years from the pre sent time. Mr. BAZALGETTE, after reading the report, said it had been suggested by the board that the vestry men of the various parishes should meet at Bow, on Tuesday next, when they would be taken to view the work; and steamers would be provided for them to cross the river, and likewise to bring them home again in the evening. Mr. LOWMAN TAYLOR protested against spend ing the ratepayers' money for such a purpose. Mr. BROOKER said that the vestry of Lewisham thought a great deal of the invitation, and were most anxious to see how their money was spent. Mr. ROBINS said the vestry of St. George's Hanover-square, were unanimous in their desire to inspect their works ; and were much pleased at the opportunity afforded them of doing so. Mr. DIFFANGER and other members of the board warmly supported the proposal; and, Mr. TAYLOR withdrew his objection. The adoption of the report was then formally moved, seconded, and carried. A resolution, authorising Mr. Banlgette to make all necessary arrangements, and to provide bread and cheese and ale for the vestrymen, was then agreed to unanimously. The routine business was then disposed of, ad the board adjou7ned, THE OUTRAGE AT DUBLIN. The following gives the details of the atrocious outrage on s. young lady, to which we briefly al luded in our yesterday's impression : (From the Freeman's Jowrnal.) The absorbing topic of conversation throughout Dublin is the brutal assault made by a cabman on a young lady on the Milltown-road. From the state ment of the injured lady, who is about 19 years of age, it appears that she went on Friday last, =Gm paniei by her brother, to a party given at a large and most respectable educational institution in the city. Her brother is a medical gentleman, seri ini his time to a highly-respectable medical practitioner in Dublin. She left the party about 1C o'clock, along with her brother, for the purpose of going home to Upper Rathgar by the last omni- bus, where she resides as governess with a respec able family. When they arrived in Sackville , street they found that the omnibus had gone, and, as it was raining heavily at the time, the gentle man called a rab which was passing. The driver drew his vehicle alongside the footway, and when the lady had taken her seat the gentleman directed the cabman where to go, and as the cab drove off the gentleman witched his sister good night, never dreaming of the terrors which were in store for her. The night was wet and dark, and the cabman went at a rapid pace on his way in the direction of Rath ( mines. It appears that when he resohod the dead wall in Upper Rathmines he, without any apparent cause, pulled up, left his seat, and, it is stated, re turned to a publichouse in the locality, where he had some drink, leaving the cab and his fare stand ing by the wall. A gentleman who was passing, observing the lady in the carriage, inquired what was the matter. She replied that she was afraid the carman had gone out of his way, or that he was not acting properly. The cabman then made his appearance, and after having rudely addressed the gentleman, drove off. On arriving at the cross at the junction of Rathgar and Rathmines, instead s of turning to the right, along the Rathgar-road, he kept to the left, and went on through Old Rath mines, until he came to Classon's-bridge, over which he drove in the direction of Churchtown. Imme diately beyond the bridge there is a steep hill, be yond which there is a considerable length of a lonely and dreary road. Fearing that the driver was not going in the proper direction she remonstrated with him, and that, too, in such a manner as to be heard by the people who occupy the only cottage in this lonely locality—a dairyman and his wife ; but the frequency of altercations on this part of the road induced them to pay no particular attention to the remonstrance they heard. He arrived here about 11 o'clock, and, suddenly stop' ing, uncere moniously opened the door of the cab, and told the lady to come out. She refused, and observed that the cabman had taken her to a wrong place. He again told her to come out, swearing a fearful oath as he did so. The laJy again refused to leave the cab until she was driven home. The ruffian then seized her by the arms and dragged her by brute force out on the road. The lady gave a scream for help, when the miscreant swore that he would mur der her if she made the slightest noise. He then made an attempt to commit a felonious assault, but the lady successfully resisted him. A fearful strug gle ensued, during which the lady fell, and the ruf fian made another attempt. In the struggle the lady's clothes were literally torn to ribands. By the most courageous and desperate effort she ulti mately succeeded in freeing herself from the grasp of the monster, who, in his vindictive ferocity, had beaten her most unmercifully and inflicted several injuries on her head and face. She implored mercy, but he was deaf to her entreaties. It may be right to state that the place where the desperate struggle occurred was on the road, about half-a-mile from Classon's-bridge. At either side of the thorough fare there was no sign of human dwelling, and no help at hand. The fields on either side of the road are bounded by old ditches, on which some strag gling thorns are growing. The ruffian made the assault on the lady on the left-hand side of the road leadiag to Churchtown from Classon's-bridge. When she succeeded in getting loose from his gripe and saw no hope of suceour, she fearlessly dashed into the ditch and scrambled through the hedge into the field. At the other side of the ditch there was a deep dyke nearly filled with mud and water. Into this she fell, and here the ruffian followed her, and seizing her by both hands sought to force her back on the road. He grasped her by the throat and all but strangled her in the strugglewhich he made to pull her by main force back to the roadway. Fail ing in this effort he again attempted force, but just at this moment the horse began to move off, and the ruffian recrossed the ditch and ran after his horse, which by this time had moved several perches away. Finding her assailant gone, the poor girl, fearing to go towards the road where he was, moved into the field, and, on hearing him return with the cab and stop nearly opposite the place where she first crossed the ditch, lay down in the open field, hoping thereby to escape detection, should he come to look for her. As she anticipated, the ruffian did come, and, after a long search, heard her breathing, and thus discovered where she was. Again he re newed his violence, and again the heroic girl strug gled with success. At one moment elle felt her strength failing, and, by au almost superhuman effort, while prostrate on the ground, she gave him a kick, which, fortunately striking him on the chest, caused him to real backwards. He seemed stunned for an instant, and, though weakened by the unequal contest, her prese'iee of mind never for sook her, and she resolved to avail herself of the momentary disability of her brutal foe to make another effort to escage by flight. In the darkness of the night she rushed through the field, and had just scrambled over another ditch when she heard her assailant in pursuit, uttering the most fearful imprecations. She gained the other side, but before she could get out of the dyke he again seized her. This dyke, too, contained much water, owing to the late heavy rains, and, contrary to her fears, he was less violent, and endeavoured to persuade her to get into the field, promising if she did so to drive her in safety home, and not to attempt again to molest her. The instinct of a woman here came miracu li ype,ru,eustrleyl..iataroieng ht h; go erta: leave me. d.Sheap ,, pealed to his manhood, and, reaching him some money , said, "Ther e is He took the money, he would desist, but continued to press her to leave the dyke and go with him to the cab. Tier instincts told her that the monster felt that, standing in the ditch as she then was, par leying with him, and more than knee-deep in water and sludge, she was comparatively safe—an instinct in which her judgment joined when she saw the anxiety he manifested to get her to leave that posi tion. She was, however, immovable, and at length said, "Nell, if you go before me I will follow." He did go, and she at once left the dyke, but instead of going in the direction of her enemy she fled with all her force across the field in an opposite direc tion, At tnis critical moment the horse again became restive, for she heard the noise of the cab in motion, and to this she attributes the fact that her assailant no longer pursued her. The poor lady then wandered listlessly for a time in the fields, not well knowing what she was doing or where she was going, owing to the darkness and her own exhaus tion. Attracted by the lights she moved towards the railway, and in this way arrived at the quarry, and fell, fortunately at a sloping part, though not far from the centre precipice. We may here explain that the second field into which she escaped is the field a part of which was " quarried" for the pur pose of procuring stone to build the railway viaduct. A slight barrier protects the edge of this quarry ; she got over this barrier, and, not knowing the danger which was before her, she ran onward, and was, as a consequence, precipitated with great force down a depth of 25 feet. Fortunately, a portion of the fall was broken by the gradual slope of some earth which had been thrown into the excavation. The lady's marvellous escape here will be for years to come a subject well calculated to excite amaze ment to those who look on the fearful place along which she passed on that dreary, tempestuous night. About .two yards from the place where she fell the quarry is not less than 50 feet in perpendicular height, and had she turned to the left instead of the right, as she was making her way for the railway light, she would most certainly have been dashed to atoms. On partially recovering herself she rose from the mud and water into which she had fallen, and toiled up the em bankment to the railway, over which a train had actually passed while she was lying maimed and bruised in the bottom of the quarry. She went along the line of rails towards the station, when she met Mr. Healey, the station-master at Miltown, to whom she said, in the most piteous manner, " For God's sake send some female to me !" The wife of the station-master was in prompt attendance on the injured lady, who was reduced to the most lament able condition. The appearance she exhibited was truly melancholy. Her eyes were black and swollen, and her face, limbs, and body were all bruised and cut. Her clothes had been literally torn from her back. Nothing could exceed the care and kindness 'with which she was treated by the station-master and his good wife. The remnants of the lady's clothes, which hung upon her in wet muddy rags, were taken off, and she was provided with a bed at the station for the night, The lady was taken to the house of the gentleman with whose family she resides at Rathgar on Saturday. A por tion of the clothes which.had been torn from the person of the lady was found in a field adjoining the place where this most dastardly and diabolical assault was perpetrated. The Freeman of Thursday says :—" The indig nation created in the public mind by the dastardly assault lon the young lady on the Miltown-road continues to increase, and has commenced to de velope itself in the most practicable manner. The public, it would seem, are determined on the appre hension of the miscreant, and already not ony bodies,' but private individuals, have commenced organising reward funds.' The Royal Irish Rifle Volunteeers offer £lO reward for the appre hension of the scoundrel, and they intend forth with to apply themselves to the realisation of a pro secution fund, which they will place at the disposal of the young lady's brother. The car and cab proprietors of Dublin will not be deficient in a com bined and vigorous exertion to clear their hitherto unimpeached character from the fcul brand placed on it by this inhuman outrage. It is said they in tend to hold a meeting forthwith, and adopt such a system as will facilitate the discovery of the heartless and unmanly perpetrator. This is as it should be, and as was to be expected from so respectable a body of men. Rumour was busy in every quarter yesterday. More than 20 times it was reported that the miscreant had been arrested, but we are sorry to say that none of those state ments were, on inquiry, found to be correct. Had he been arrested in any public place, it would have been difficult for his captors to save him from Lynching'—the just and summary vengeance' of the people. The carowners and drivers held meet ings of a preliminary character last night, when those connected with Bagot-street, Westland-row, and Sackville-street stands subscribed £25 towards the sum which will be offered by the general body. We are happy to learn that the Government will I cfrer a reward Of £lOO for tho approlzoooivo of the criminal." Mrs. Armsfield will be brought before the magis trates at Ashton on the charge of wilful murder.— Manchester Guardian. THE BILSTON MURDER. The " wanted" man is now in custody. He was arrested on Thursday forenoon, and his name is David Brandrick, The police seem to have been so close upon his track that he " ran to earth," put himself in communication with his friends, and after wards with a solicitor. He obtained an interview with the latter at 3 o'clock on Wednesday morning. On Wednesday night the solicitor in question came from a neighbouring town to Bilston, sent for the Superintendent of Police to the hotel, said that Brandrick had consulted him at the hour named, and that he (the solicitor) would produce him before 3 o'clock the next day (Thursday). It was arranged that at the hour mentioned Brandrick should ba at the police-station at Bilston. The police were dis posed at first to conclude that their informant was joking them, but his reply to their query was too emphatic to admit of chubt ; end when he assured them that the absent man was too securely ensconced in his hiding-place for them to!arresthim themselves they were disposed to wait the issue of the following afternoon. In the vehicle in which the solicitor drove to Bilston was a parish constable of Wednes bury (about three miles from Bilston), named Ellis. The police had not to wait for the afternoon of Thursday before they were gladdened with a sight of the object of their search, for at about 11 o'clock Brandrick was produced by the parish constable. At about noon Brandrick was brought up before the Rev. H. S. Fletcher . and Mr. John Hartley. He said that he should be 20 next birth-day. He is of slim build, He was charged with murder and bur glary. The only evidence given was that of Supe rintendent M'Crea, who deposed that he had evi dence to show that on the night preceding tho murder the prisoner was with the other men who had been remanded on the same charge. Mr. Fletcher was about to sign the warrant, when Mr. Hartley said, " Has he anything to say why he should not be remanded ?" The prisoner, who had before remarked in an undertone, but in the hearing of the officers who had him charge, that he knew nothing about it, replied, " I don't know nothing about it." He was then formally remanded to Stafford County Gaol till the adjourned inquest next Tuesday, and was at once driven off in the custody of the Chief Constable and one of the Chief Constable's men to Wolverhampton, to be taken by rail to Stafford. There was a great throng of people at the police station door to see him sent away. It will be re membered that it was Brandrick's house that the police were watching when they intercepted him and Jones, and, it is supposed Jukes. Policeman Harrison, to whom that duty was intrusted, is pre pared to swear that it was Brandrick who was carrying the clothes that were thrown down when he pounced upon them, and which clothes have been identified as the property of the murdered man. Since Sunday morning Brandrick has changed his attire. That the boots which he wore when he was arrested might be compared with the footprints in Mr. Bagott's yard, they were taken off his feet. As this was being done, the prisoner, in reply to Major M'Knight, said that he had worn them some time; but when asked if he had worn them a week he made no reply. These boots, as it was ex pected, do not correspond with those marks. They are not boots that a man in his position would be likely to wear, and a bootmaker is prepared to swear that he has not been accustomed to wear them. On Thurday Maddocks also was brought before the Rev. H. S. Fletcher to be remanded to Stafford, Superintendent M'Crea was the only witness. He deposed that he saw him on Satur day night in the same yard in which most of the other men were apprehended, and where there are five brothels. The magistrate told him hew as re manded, and he was asked if ho had anything to urge why ho should not be. He replied that he knew nothing about it. MURDER ON BOARD AN AMERICAN ).SHIP. Yesterday afternoon Mr. C. C. Lewis,the coroner for Essex, and a jury, assembled at the Bell and Anchor, Victoria Docks•road, Plaistow, Essex, on view of the body of William Henry Adams, aged 34 years, late master of the American ship Lammer geyer, who was found brutally murdered on Sunday morning last. The jury having been sworn, they proceeded with the coroner to view the body, which was lying in a shed at the rear of the tavern. The following evidence was adduced : John Henry Myers, second officer of the ship Lammergeyer, belonging to New York, said—The deceased was captain of that vessel, which left the docks on Saturday week last, the 21st ult., for Callao. The vessel left the Victoria-docks between eleven and twelve o'clock. On Saturday week last, the deceased and the steward (William nenry Hawkins) had some words. Previously to that day they were always good friends. Witness heard high words, and shortly afterwards he turned in with the carpenter to take breakfast in the cabin. The steward was there, and he exclaimed, " It is the first time I have been struck, and it will be the last time." He added, " I will give you all a chance to get back to London again, I will have the ship put back." Witness told him to keep Lis threats to himself, as he did not wish to hear them. The deceased was on deck throughout the night until 15 minutes to five o'clock on Sunday morning. He told witness to have " the nigger steward out every morning at five o'clock." The steward was near enough to hear the order. He left me and went in the direction of his cabin. Witness did not hear any more of him until 20 minutes to five, when the chief officer ran out of the cabin and said, "My God, the captain is all over blood !" Witness went into the cabin and saw the deceased bleeding from a largo wound in the forehead. Witness rushed out and exclaimed, "My God, the captain is murdered !" Witness or dered all the persons out of the cabin, gave the steward into custody, and placed him in irons. Witness told the men, who were foreigners, that he charged him with the murder of the captain. Coroner—When did you alter the course of the ship to return home? When the vessel was between the Bill of Port land and the Start Point. We reached the Pool last Wednesday, and gave the steward up to the Thames police when the ship reached Victoria Docks. Dr. P. H. Banks, of the Victoria Docks, having given surgical evidence as to the wounds of the deceased. Inspector Cox, of the Thames police, here pro duced the clothes of the steward, and on the right leg of the trousers there were marks of blood. There were also stains of blood on the shirt sleeves. The Coroner said that he had gone as far as the law allowed him, and it was a question whether the further hearing of the case must not be dealt with in America. The vessel had sailed under the American flag, and the Secretary of State and the American Consul were in possession of the facts, and the subject was now under consideration whe ther the case should be decided in England Jr in the Unitrd States. He should adjourn the proceedings at this stage to await the result of a communication with the Hems Secretary as to what further should be done. The order was then given for the removal of the deceased's body, but a gentleman in attendance said it was the intention of the friends to have the de ceased removed to America. The inquiry was then adjourned until Wednesday morning next, at eleven o'clock. The proceedings caused the utmost interest, and the court was crowded. LONDON RAILWAYS: —ln the first place, the Charing-cress Railway, from Hungerford station, will pour unceasing thousands into the City at Cannon-street, and will also run trains to London -bridge, and thence to all the suburban retreats, from Epsom and Croydon to Graves end. Next, taking the Victoria terminus as the centre of departure, we may watch off the following trains :—First, a train for South Kensington, which it will reach with loads from Battersea, Cremorne, and West Brompton. Then a broad-gauge train will start by the West London for Ham mersmith and Paddington, via Battersea and Kensington, and will extend its journey through the tunnel of the Metro politan to Portland-place, King's •cross, and Farringdon street. For the longest circuit, a train will make for Kings land by the West London and North Lond on, passing' Wal ham, Finehley, Hampstead, and Islington; at Kingsland it will divide, shooting one portion straight into the City at Finsbury, the other reaching Fenchurch-street or Blackwall by way of Hackney, Bow, and Stelgl°Y. All these from Victoria have gone Wes tward; of those wending east, one, on the Chatham and Dover, will collect its living freight at Clapham Rise, Camberwell, and Through, and will deposi t the passen gers at Farringdon-street, or carry theta on to P a ddington by the Metroplitan lino; while the other, on the Brighton Railway, will take the Crystal Palace and New-cross, on its route to London bridge. If to these trains from 'Victoria I add a broad -gauge ono from Finsbury, through Farring don-sfreet, by the Metropolitan, to King's-cross and Pad dington,. and thence on to Notting - hill and Hammersmith, r I shall have summed up the whole railway transport fo the use of London alone. As regards the short or season ticket traffic, as well as the long routes to distant counties, the new arrangement of giving each railway a forked adto th ers . me tropolitan termination, must, of course, vastly eorrven i e nce, and therefore to the number of passeng e The Great Northern and Eastern Counties will be the only lines without easy communication with the West-end. On the other hand, the'far 'greater diffusion. of the goodsfreight must afford much 'relief to the over-crowded streets, a con siderable portion of their burdens travelling under instead of over thena,--&s't, Tqines's,Jragazinf. 1 4RFUL STRUGGLE FOR LIFE. On e right-hand side of Broom-lane, leading from . nton to Hyde, in Cheshire, and within about) yards of the toll-bar, there is an old dis used el- ;t about 40 yarsls long, and 20 to 25 yards t , readth, and from 10 to 12 feet deep. It seems tichildren residing in the neighbourhood are in tlhabit of playing about this pit, and about o'clock t Wednesday evenings child, named Samuel I ,ton, unfortunately got into the water, and, havi been seen by a neighbour woman, an alarm wasiven, and a large number of persons soon assailed round the pit, being workpeople from thr , or four factories which ad just close( The scene was most exciting, and Josecti Jackson and Mark Tatton, with out pulling cf any of their clothes, immediately spring into to water to the rescue of the poor chid.

Of course all this took Ince in less time than it takes to find words to t(1 it, and Mr. Horatio Howarth, hat man ufacturer with great presence of mind, threw a small rope it° the pit. Fortunately, John Fogg was enabled tseize it, and two of the men having seized Fogg, tL three were dragged out of the pit much exhausts. Afterwards the grapnel irons were brought, ad the other men were got out by Edward Millinhon, Samuel Turner, and James Bi•omley, after 11 oh exertion, for which they have received great vase. The men were so exhausted that there were at first but little hopes of any of them being savel.

He leaves a wife and seven small children. Tattoo was a hatter, un married, aged 21. Stange to say, the child was saved, it having floated aid having been pushed by Council to the side of the pit, and pulled out by a gentleman named Irwin. Surrounded as the pit was by some hundreds of persons, the excitement was of 1..‘ description beyond words to express, as the drowning men were surrotuded by male and female friends and neighbours, ab calling for help, but powerless for some time to g)ve any.

On Thursday forenoon, the body of a male child was exhumed at Droylsden, near Manchester, and a warrant for the apprehension of the mother, on a charge of wilful murder, is now in the hands of the police. We stated at the time that on the morning of Saturday, the 21st ult., the body of a male child, four months old, had been found in the Manchester and Oldham Canal, near Droylsdon ; it was tole rably well dressed. On the same morning, and not far from the same point, a bundle, containing clothes for a child three or four years old, was found depo sited near a footpath. These facts seemed to point to foul play with two children. On the 23d ult., Mr. W. S. Butter, county coroner, held an inquest on the body. when Mr. Gould, surgeon, w . hcs had made a post mortem examination, stated Ills belief that the child was not a li ve when put into the water. As there was no evidence leading to an in ference as to how death had been caused, the jury returned an open verdict. Mr. Ludlam, superin tendent of the cou nt y constabular y , caused inquiries to be made by his officers, Superintendent Wiley taking the most active part. The result was a convic tion that the body was that of the illegitimate child of a woman named Nancy Armsfield, who had been residieg at Newton Heath; and the coroner was accor di ng ly applied. to re-open his inquiry. As he did not feel justified in adopting this course, a statement of the facts was drawn up by Mr. Hall, magistrates' clerk, at Ashton-under-Lyne, and for warded to the Home Secretary, with a request that an order for disinterring the body might be granted. This was complied with, and the exhumation took place on Thursday morning. The facts connected with the case, as far as they are known at present, are these :—Several years ago the suspected woman, whose maiden n ame was Nancy Gorton, was married to a man named Armsfield. Their married life was a very un happy one, owing, it is said, to Mrs. Arms field's conduct towards a lodger, named James Shepherd, generally called " Ginger," and who was a " sinker." Some time ago Armsfield died, and soon afterwards Mrs. Armsfield went to live with Shepherd, who until recently worked and resided at Chapel-en-le-Frith, and they have continued to live together. Since leaving Chapel-en-le-Frith Shepherd has been working at Ashton-under-Lyne; and for sonic days before the 20th ult. Mrs. Arms field had been staying with a married sister named Kaye, at Newton Heath, near Manchester, having with her a child four or five mouths old, the father of which was of course understood to be Shepherd. On the morning of Friday, the 20th, Armsfield left Mrs. Kaye's without saying where she was going, as was her custom when she went out; but no im portance was attached to this, as Mrs. Kaye thought it likely she had gone to ask Shepherd for some money. She had taken her child with her. That evening, about seven o'clock, a labourer who was walking on the towing path of the Manchester and Oldham Canal was met by a woman carrying a child, which the man says was then living and well. The woman asked the way to Hollinwood, but the man noticed that she averted her face as . if to escape notice. The nearest road to Hollinwood was pointed out, and the woman passed on with "Thank you ;" but the man observed that instead of taking the indicated route, she sauntered along the towing path. it Was a short distance from the spot where this occurred that the body and the bundle were found the next morning. Between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock on the night of the 20th, Nlrs. Armsfield returned without her child to Mrs. Kaye's house, at Newton heath. In reply to Mrs. Kaye's question, "Where is the child ?" she re plied, "I have left it at sister Mary's, as a lady wants to see it ; but Mary will bring it here directly." Shortly after, all retired for the night ; but next morning, when one of Mrs. I; aye's daoglitess got up early and went to kiss the child, it could not be found. Mrs. Armsfield, when appealed to, could only say that she was just going out herself, and that Mary had taken the child along the road for a bit. Since then she has not been seen in the neigh bourhood, and Shepherd has also disappeared ; but the police believe that they will be able before long to trace the woman. The first clue obtained by the police was the identification by Mrs. Kaye and Mary Gorton of the clothes taken from the dead body us those worn by their sister's child when last they saw it alive. On 'Wednesday, after the body had been disinterred, it was taken to the Church Inn, where Dr. Lees, of Ashton, carefully examined it. Of his conclusions we are not informed ; but, although decomposition - was considerably advanced, the aunts were enabled positively to identify the body by a tuft of light brown hair on the 'ordeal, When apprehended Match-100, 25 ft.

In this way they ran Into the cores, where ,„ through her horses and took third place.

Little or no time was lest in the scaling, the numbers of the 19 competitors being exhibited on the telegraph within a few minutes of the time set down on the card ; and after taking their preliminary canters, they speedily joined Mr. M'George, who on this occasion had no reason to com plain of the refractory conduct of the jockeys, for without let or hindrance the flag was lowered to one of the best starts of the meeting. The horses left the post in an ex tended line, stretching nearly across the course. Eastern Princess, in consequence of her saddleturning (which nearly unshipped Bradly, who saved himself through the aid of the martingale), rushed to the front, and came on with a lead, the first division being comprised of Flash-of-the .Pan, Zodiac, Furious, Ariadne, Palestro, Tightfit, and Cape Flyaway ; the others, headed by The Roe, Suburban, and The Monk, lying in a cluster at their heels. On reaching the bushes Eastern Princess was stopped, and speedily dropped into the rear, leaving the lead with Palestro, who was closely attended by Zodiac, Ariadne, Flash-in-the- Pan, Cape Flyaway, and Waterwitch. Descending the hill the leading horses were joined by The Monk and The Roe, the lot running in close company into the bottom, where the favourite was beaten, and, in company with Cape Flyaway and Flash-in-the-Pan, shortly afterwards gave way to The Monk, who, with The Roe, Waterwitch, Ariadne, and Palestro in close attendance, finished a close and interesting race home, The Monk having a trifle the best of it, and winning very cleverly at last by half a length; The Roe defeated Waterwitch by a length for second; Ariadne was a good fourth, Palestro fifth, and Flash-in-the-Pan sixth; the others, headed by Cape Fly away, Audrey, Rising Sun, and Suburban, passing the post so close together as to prevent our assigning their positions. The rear division was widely spread and pulled up as they passed the post, the last being Tightfit, Star light,Adrasta, and Eastern Princess.
