MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SPOATING' INTI?LLIGENCE. A NARROW ESCAPE.—Two smart females named Ann Doore and Eliza Jenkins, were charged as follows : Bentley, 55 C, said, about one this morning he was in Arundel-court, and saw a gentleman, who he had since ascertained to be a Mr. Jefferson, with the two prisoners, and putting his arms round their necks. Sometime after, on passing through the court again, and while standing in a doorway, the prisoners passed him, and he heard Jenkins say to Doore, "Hold your noise. You don't know so much as I do. You have not been so long about." The priso ners then turned into the Haymarket, and on his passing down the court he saw a pocket-book lying on the stones. He then went after the prisoners, and seeing Mr. Jeffer son's name in the book, he had now attended. Mr. Jefferson, accountant, of Cedar-road, Walham-green, said the pocket-book was his property, and was of value to him on account of the memoranda it contained. He had been standing treat to the girls, but did not know of his loss till epoken to by the constable. Inspector Webb said nothing was known of the prisoners. Mr. Mansfield said they had had a narrow escape. If anything had been known of them as pickpockets he should have sent them for trial. He hoped it would be a warning to them, and he would recommend them to keep their hands from picking and stealing. He should now discharge them. Lieutenant 'Alfred Kingston, of 1, Church-place, Pic cadilly, was charged with being drunk and incapable. 73 C, finding the defendant drunk, and as he had pro.. perty about him of some value, he took him into custody, fearing that he might get into the hands of bad characters.

For some time past frauds on an extensive scale have been practised on the electric telegraph wires. A few specu lators in opium have caused messages to be most grossly falsified whilst passing through the wires between Galle and Bombay. A meeting of the members of the Chambers of Commerce was held, and a committee appointed to report on *he delinquencies of the electric telegraph department. In common with the rest of the inhabitants of Bombay, we are awaiting with some anxiety the report of the committee Meanwhile two of the signancrg, George Pecktall and Wm. Allen, dismissed from the public service, have been com mitted to stand their trial at the next criminal sessions, for baying cut and used the wires for the transmission of ficti tious telegrams by agents of opium speculators. As it was found impossible to corrupt the telegraph establishment to such an extent as to ensure the falsification of the messages from Galle, a set of scoundrels set their wits to work to find out how this might be done independently of the telegra phic officials. It very naturally struck them that amongst the number of discarded signallers there might be found one who, either from 'motives of revenge or for a sufficient pecu niary consideration, might be prevailed upon to lend himself to the fraud, and it unfortunately happened that a person of this description was found ready to their hand. A young man of the name of George Pecktall, who had formerly been employed as a signaller in the Government Electric Telegraph Office, but who had been dismissed for misconduct, consented to aid the conspirators in their designs, and assisted by another dismissed signaller, named William Allen, who had been turned out of the Indore-office some time ago, pro ceeded from Bombay to Poona, where they planned the ex pedition which is likely to cotsign them to a felon's cell. The evidence given in the Bombay Police-office makes it quite clear that these young men must have obtained pos session of one of the instruments used in the Railway Tele graph Department to enable them to accomplish their ob ject. They set out from Poona fully equipped with all that was necessary for their purpose, and proceeded to a spot in the immediate vicinity of the village of Beebee-chaw-addee, about four or five miles off at the foot of the Katruj Ghaut, over which the telegraph wire from Sattara passes. Their operations seem to have consisted in first cutting the wire and then inserting a signal instrument and battery, by which means they read off the messages as they were being flashed from Poona without the fraud being detected. They then worked the telegraph to the advantage of their em ployers by falsifying the original message, which latter they delivered to their agent in Poona, and before the fraud was discovered, whichwas not until after the arrival of the China mail steamer from Galle, enormous sums of money were alledged to be made by the parties in the secret. There was of course an interruption between Sattara and Poona as soon as these young depredators disconnected their battery from the wire, as the latter had been cut completely through, and on the inspector proceeding to the spot he as certained that there had been foul play in the matter; bu it was not until the China mail airived that the falsifica- 10 to 1 agst Sweet Hawthorn (taken) 10 to 1 agst Matador (taken) 1000 to 80 agst Overton (taken) 25 to 1 agst Walloon (taken) 30 to 1 agst Will o' the Wisp (takes) sto 1 agst Mr. Merry's two coupled CHESTER CUP.

For the Northamptonshire Stakes, King of Diamonds was in force. The City and Suburban remains without change. 10 to 1 was offered on the field for the Chester Cup, and 100 to 6 was taken about Man-at-Arms; Butterfly would have been backed at a small advance on 100 to 6, and Wallace was much talked about. but stood at 30 to 1 (offered), take 100 to 3. Bto 1 was taken against Diophantus, and 10 to 1 would have been taken about Matador, for the Two Thousand Guineas. For the Derby, 9 to 2 was taken about Dundee, and it is evident that Rouge Dragon is coming strongly into favour for this rue, 100 to 7 being taken very freely.

In the month of June, 1857, James De Foe, the great grandson of the author of "Robinson Crusoe," died, having derived support during the last years of his life, part from a subscription set on foot for his benefit, but principally from the industry and self-denial of two unmarried daugh ters. Protracted sickness, and much unavoidable distress consequent upon it, occurred to these daughters after the death of their father ; whereupon, at the commencement of the present year, a few persons to whom the fact was known appealed to Lord Palmerston for the grant of a small sum out of the Queen's Bounty. It ought to be generally known that this appeal was at once generously responded to by the Prime Minister, and that the sum of £lOO was with great kindness granted to the poor descendants of one of the most remarkable writers of England. Such details of the case as wore submitted in support of the application to Lord Palmerston may be interesting to our readers, and we there fore append a copy of the memorial The undersigned respectfully submit to Viscount Pal merston's kind consideration the subjoined statement in support of an application for a small sum out of the Queen's Bounty in aid of the present distress of two great great granddaughters of Daniel De Foe :—On May 19, 1857, Jas. De Foe, the great-grandson of the author of Robinson Crusoe,' died at a cottage in Kennington, where he had lived in great pEverty for many years. He was upwards of 80 years old. Disabled by a severe rupture from working at the business he had followed as a carpenter and bosmaker, he was chiefly maintained by his wife's earnings as a laun dress. His wife died, and his means necessarily became more straitened. During the last three years and a half of his life he received assistance from a small subscription set on foot by a few persons to whom his circumstances had be come known, and to which Lord Lansdowne very liberally contributed. After the death of his wife his principal sup port had been derived from the industry and self-denial of two unmarried daughters, to whom a small balance of the subscriptions was paid over at his death. These poor women are not the sole survivors of James De Foe. A son is clerk to a timber merchant at Chelmsford, but is unable to render them assistance. Another daughter, who is married to a working undertaker, and a fourth, who is teacher in a school in France, though with sufficient means to support them selves, cannot render any assistance to those, the only re maining members of James De Fee's family, for whose benefit aid is now respectfully solicited from Viscount Pal merston. The elder, Sarah, who devoted herself to the care of her father, is a dressmaker. The other, Jane Amelia, is of extremely delicate health, and is wholly dependent upon her sister for support. During 1860 the elder has been un able to obtain continuous employment, and her occasional labour has not been sufficient to procu re the common neces saries of life for herself and her invalid sister." DULWICH COLLEGE.—The second mastership of Dulwich College, rendered vacant by the preferment of the Rev. Alfred Povah, M.A:, to the rectory of St. Olave's, Hart-street, has been conferred upon Mr. Henry John Raby, M.A., Fellow and Classical Lecturer of St. John's College, Cambridge. 2 JIM DAY'S SHIPPING.

THE CHARING-CROSS RAILWAY AND BriDGE.— Yesterday additional workmen were engaged in clearing the sites of those houses recently pulled down in Agnes and Francis-streets, Waterloo-road, and in the York and Belvedere •roads, (Pedlar's-acre), the ground being imme diately required for the construction of the railway from Hungerford-bridge to the terminus. The works of the railway bridge are progressing rapidly, the large iron cylinder for the support of the new bridge being in a very advanced state, and the enlargement of the stationary piers is being actively proceeded with. FREEHOLD LAND IN HERTFORDSHIRE.—In con sequence of the late discussion in the House of Lords re specting the removal of houses required by the various railway companies in London, the demand for building in, around, and at a considerable distance from the metropolis will no doubt materially increas,N The Conservative Land l i Society is already increasing the number of its valuable suburban estates, its last purchase being the forty-third, and the third in Hertfordshire, in the town of Hertfor d adjoining the estate lately allotted. It is situated close too the railway station, fronting the main street of the town. FIVE CHILDREN POISONED.—At Allerston, a village on the Yorkshire Moors, five children, four of one family, named llicks, and the fifth named Jones, have been accidentally poisoned. The chillren were at play in Hicks's garden, on Saturday, where tley found what they took to be a bed of carrots, and they all ate freel y of the roots. They were subsequently seized with s icknes s , and exhibited all the symptoms of poison. On Monday one of Hicks's chil dren, five years old, died, an d a nother is in a critical state, the other three being convaleeent through th e ti me ly use of antidotes.—An inquest has once been held, an d it h as been ascertained that the supposed carrots wer e w ild par snips, of which the seed was parchased and sown for car rots, the white variety of whi lh the ro ots resembled, but were smaller, and had larger fd ia g e • T he jury returned a verdict that the deceased was ?oisoned by e a ti ng w ild par- snips. A letter from Jaffa (Syri a ) states that all Pales tine was deluged with torrents of rain in the commencement of the present month. Se•ieral villages were inundated, and a number of houses thrown down, burying the inhabi tants under the ruins. On the mountains of Judea the olive plantations have suffered sevetely, both the trees and the soil having been washed away in many places. At Jeru salem rain and snow fell in su3h abundance as to fill all the cisterns of the Holy City, to the great joy of the inhabi tants, who say that there has not been such a supply of water for more than 200 years. A FLYING LEAP,—On rhursday evening a horse belonging to Mr. it. Bourne, of Totnes, performed a very extraordinary feat. The horse in question had been ridden by Mr. Boiirne's clerk to Broadhempston, and, on its way home, ran away. Coming down Bridgetown at a great pace without the rider, it made a flying leap over the Totnes Bridge turnpike-gate, clearing a distance of 18 feet 8 inches and a height of something over five feet six inc,hes.— Weston Times, UST. LITERA7 The English Sportsman in the 7 , Feettern Prairies. By the Hon. Grantley F. Berkeley. Burst and Blackett. Louis Napoleon went to war with Austria for the sake of an idea—how he fulfilled it is patent to all. The French Emperor is not alone in undertaking enterprises for an idea, for the Hon. Grantley Berkeley wad seized with the idea that he should like to kill a buffalo on his native prairies,for Which purpose he crossed the Atlantic and penetrated to the outskirts of American civilisation. How he succeeded is manifested in the window of The Field newspaper, in the Strand, as also in the present interesting narrative of his adventures. Before entering upon an analysis of the work, we may men tion that it is compiled from a diary kept by the author during his travels. Of course all private matters are suppressed ; but beyond this all the de tails of his journey which are without interest are omitted, and only those parts which contain interest, or are necessary as connecting links, are submitted to the inspection of the reader. It is a difficult task to discriminate in a narrative of this kind be tween being prolix or going to the other extreme, and making what ought to be amusing a dry epitome. The Hon. Grantley Berkeley has, however, hit the juste milieu. He is plain and straightforward, and tells things as they happ ene d. H e expresses his opinion of Americans as he found them, without favour or affection. As a whole Brother Jonathan ought to be satisfied ; for if his shortcomitigs are freely censured, his good points are brought out in bold relief by the very compar i son. On first arriving in America Mr. Berkeley was disappointed at his reception, until he found out the reason for the supposed neglect, which we can not do better than 'give in his own words : "I confess myself to have been surprised at this, for my brother sportsmen in America had been apprised of my coming visit; and as an Englishman was about to throw himself, in that sort of off-hand manner generally so pleasing to men who make the plains and forests the scenes of hearty companionship, on their generosity, I naturally expected that they would give me some sort of facility or counsel, not only as to my journey to the Far West, but more particularly as to the conveyance of my dogs, unprotected as they ware by their laws, and not even recognised on the rail as things for which the company had provided any means of conveyance. When I assure my readers that this apparent neglect surprised me,' that sur priso only lasted till I became better and locally acquainted with the men among whom I was about to travel. When I made their acquaintance 1 understood it all, and for bre vity's sake, as well as perspicuity, my knowledge is summed up in the following few words. "No man who signs himself of whatever rank is gene rally believed to be the person he reprefoats himself to be until some other man in America introduces him according to the signature he has given out. The President is not believed to be the President, and Mr. Cobden is not believed to be the free-trade orator, when on travel, unless, like sharks, they have a pilot fish or man in black' to verify or proclaim their individuality—hence no one believed in me." In vain did the adventurer, before leaving England, seek for information from his friends who had been in America as to outfit, pro bable expense, and other matters of detail ; everybody could tell him everything but what he wanted to know, and in the end he started with his English dogs and English guns, and left the rest to chance. How the advice of friends proved fallacious was manifested on his arrival at St. Louis, before he had entered the prairies, by his finding himself, what is commonly termed, "hard up." Here it was that the true American character showed itself, inasmuch that u. gentleman with whom he had not two days' acquaintance under stood his " fix" before he had half explained it, and saying it was perfectly natural for a stranger to have underrated the expenses of so long an expe dition, gave him to understand that any money he wanted would be at his service. While speaking highly of the upper classes in America, the author condemns the abuse of the law of equality as prac tised by the lower classes, and says, with truth, that if the gentlemen of the United States would maintain their proper position, and repudiate the fellowship of the lower order of society, it would be ultimately a benefit to both parties ; but as it is at present, the liberty of which the of roXXot are so proud renders the private individual a slave. On reaching Kansas, the last settlement on the bounds of civilisation, he purchased waggons, horses, and mules, and en gaged an incompetent guide (such was his fortune) and some eight men, and started into the desert. Of the cool assurance of the free and independent inhabitants, the following is a specimen : " I was very busy packing my ambulance at the stores where my dogs were, which was close to the side of the public road, when a huge jingling thing, called in America a stage-coach, with four horses, and many passengers, pulled up, and a big Bob- hoy, seated on the box by the coachman, thus in a very insolently familiar tone addressed me, " Hallo, guv'nor, so you're a going to the plains, and I guess I'll go along with you.' " I had already had much to find fault with that morn ing, and being very busy packing, my frame of mind was not such as to put up with insolence, so I replied, Guess there's two words to that bargain.' How so, guv'nor replied the fellow. ' Why,' I said, 'guess you won't go without my permission, and that you won't have.' ' Reckon I shall,' asserted the fellow, 'so guess I'll go on into town and get my fixings.' 'You can do as you like about that,' I replied, ' but as I don't like your method of speech, and as I intend to be master and have none but men with me, I guess you're not the sort of fellow I want.' Guess somehow I'll get my fixings,' rejoined the Boh-hoy ; go ahead, coachman,' and off he drove. " On the following morning, before we started, this fellow returned and made his application again, saying 'he had got his fixings l' but I told him, as I had told him before, that he should not go, and I left him behind." In the purchase of his horses he experienced great difficulty from the American dealers bringing him 1 worthless cattle, and asking exorbitant prices. " What I" said the author to an acquaintance standing by when a most outrageous imposition was attempted, " is it possible that they take me to be such a fool ?" " No," replied the other, " but you are payinc , for the sins of a countryman. A young Englishman was here not long ago who bought horses at the price of the dealer, and then sold them for next to nothing, so that they enter tain but a poor opinion of you altogether." The Yankees, however, had misjudged their man. The lion. Grantley had seen too much of life, and was too good a judge of horseflesh to be done, and he declared that as horses were so dear and so in different in that locality ho would buy none, and go on foot, and to enforce this belief he refused for some days to • inspect any of the horses brought to him. The ruse succeeded, and he eventually procured some fine cattle ; but when he tried the same dodge in the purchase of mules to draw his waggons, saying that he would take oxen, it did not answer, the American was too 'cute to be taken in in that respect; he would not be lieve that a gentleman, for the sake of a few dollars, would employ such slow animals as bullocks. At Fort Riley he was most hospitably entertained by the commander and the other officers on the station, and in company with of them, a Captain Bayard, he killed his first Bison. His last and most re markable exploit was the destruction, single handed, of the Bison which now stands in the window of the office of The Field. This animal was not shot down while running, as is commonly the case, but the hunter being mounted on a flighty horse, which was afraid of the Bison, and very restive, found it impossible to take correct aim, and after some dozen ineffectual shots, and having been led by his wily antagonist through almost impassable creeks and morasses, he was surprised by it suddenly turning short round and charging. This game was kept up some time, until a favourable opportunity. offering, the Hon,. G. F. Berkeley succeeded in dis patching his bold and mighty foe. The sketches of observations of a man who has studied character and American manners are well written. They are the knows how to appreciate it. We have all laughed at the absurd mock delicacy of our transatlantic friends, and the misconstruction they put upon words used as a matter of course with us; but the follow ing caps all we have ever heard : "Among the many kind civilities shown me in America, a very pretty girl of about 14 or 15 was once permitted to drive me out in what her father called his buggy, but which carriage had four wheels, and was a sort of curricle drawn by a pair of horses, to show me the woods in the full efful • gence of their autumnal tints. The afternoon I allude to was very hot, and the declining sun giving signs of a glorious set in purple and in gold, and the air so hushed that on the road (or no road) in which we were, there was no noise by horse-foot or wheels, and therefore no difficulty in conversation. The pretty, sailing girl was driving, with a mare on the near side, very free to her work and hot, while on the off side there was a horse as lazy as anything I ever saw. My charming companion was perhaps a little diffident of being able to amuse an English nobleman,' and consequent a little shy and nervous, b u t still most anxious to keep up the conversal ion. She kept looking up in my face with her bright, laughing, yet half-timid eyes, while at the same time, with a sort of feverish twitching of the whip in her hand, she never left off touching _up the mare, who had already done the en tire work, and driving her half mad. The mare at last, lathered from head to foot, while the horse was as cool as a cucumber, began to give in, so I said, ' I will tell you wha t, dear, if you keep aggravat ing the mare in that way, you'll knock her up. " Possible ! well ! hum—hum, I'd like to know 1' re plied my companion, more bashful than ever; but don't, ' Lord Berkeley; you—you oughtn't; don't, Lord Berkeley.' 6 " 'Don't I' I exclaimed ; yes, you will, if you keep L fidgeting her in . that way with the whip, you'll assuredly • k no ck her up.' Possible!' rejoinei my dear little friend, but you shouldn't —I'm sure if I thought so I would never touch a whip again. Don't, Lord Berkeley—you oughtn't— " Looking into her pretty face, wondering w hat on earth it was that I could ha ve sa id, I saw t h a t s h was blushing and really embarrassed ; so I changed the conversation, amused, though, by observing that my caution as to the mare was attended to, as my friend carried her whip more erect, waving it after the manner o£ a fairy's wand. Our , most agr eea bl e d r i ve term i nate d soo n after this, and, as I handed her from the buggy, I saw she had grown so laughingly bashful that she dared not permit her eyes to come in contact with mine, and I continued to marvel at what it could have been that I had said to make so inex plicable an impression. "In the evening her mothepripheaidnahteoar mparty, mouth,an at which • presided with a long clay gence frequently luxuriated in by the married ladies of the frontier towns and villages, when after tea she put out her Pipe and got up to stand by the door 'to receive company.' Of course I took my place near her, with a view to observe American frontier usages and manners. Two or three guests arrived, and then a tall, high-shouldered, raw-boned gentleman, with a long nose, small eyes, and a high fore head, very upright, very stiff, and very grave, his face decked with a long pointed beard, stained either by the sun or the juices and smoke of tobacco, and redolent of spitting and of pipes. " ' Good evening, Mr. Smith," said the hostess, ' but where is your good lady? I had hoped to have seen her with you.' " ' She's kneeked up, ' replied the matter-of-feet guest. " ' What I dear me, again in that interesting situation F' " ' Oh, good gracious I ' I cried to myself, as I turned away to conceal my great inclination to merriment; ' now I know what it was that I said to my pretty com panion in the buggy. ' Well, did you ever—no I never ;' hang me, but 1 will get an American dictionary, and if there is not one in print I'll publish one.' " The work is embellished with several well executed engravings, and we may confidently assert that the narrative of the transatlantic adventures of the Hon. Grantley Berkeley will be read with satisfac tion by every true sportsman, and by all who can appreciate an exciting story cleverly written. PARLIAMENTARY AND RAILIVAF COIIMII TEES. HAMMERSMITH, PADDINGTON, AND CITY JUNC TION RAILWAY.—The committee of the House o f Lords that, under the chairmanship of Earl Grey, have just concluded their inquiry into the merits . of this measure for a rail wa y commenc i ng by a junc tion with the Great Western, near Great-lane bridge, and terminating at the Broadway, Hammer smith, together with two branches to and forming junctions with the West London Railway, and. thence by the Metropolitan or underground railway into the City, at an estimated capital of £lBO,OOO, report, as regards " the number of houses to be taken and the consequent displacement of the poor," . that compul sory powers of purchase given by the bill extend only to 51 house s or cot t ages tenanted by the labouring claws, and th a t i t i s not expected, thatinconveniencew i ll b e exper i enced, as although these houses are within the limits of deviation, and may be taken for the railway, only ten of them are upon the centre line delineated on the plan, and that in the neighbourhood, the Latimer-road, where these houses are all situated, and ad joining it there are a number of houses in an unfinishei state, and which have remained so for years, partly for want of funds and want of occupiers, but which are all adapted for the labouring classes. Their lordships report that the line will afford a speedy and con tenient communication to those of the labouring classes employed in the densely peopled parts of the metropolis, but who reside in the suburbs. CHEAP TRAINS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES ON THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY.—The following are the terms of the special clause inserted by the select committee of the House of Lords of which Lord Colchester was chairman :—" The railway company shall run a train every day in the week, except Sunday, from Kingsland station to Liver pool-street, City terminus, and one train from Liverpool -street to Kingsland, at such hours in the morning and afternoon as may be most convenient for the labouring classes residing at or beyoad Kingsland, and having business in London, at flires not exceeding ld. per passenger for each journey, provided that if in any period of six months it shall be found that less than 100 passengers on the ave rage shall have been conveyedby each of such trains, the company, on proof of that fact to the shtisfae - tion of the Board of Trade, may discontinue the running of the trains, but the Board of Trade may at any time order the resumption thereof by the company if it shall seem to the Board desirable," MERIONETHSHIRE RAILWAY.—The bill for this proposed railway has been withdrawn. 111IGRAT102VS OF THE PARISIAN NOBILITY. The _Revue Illunicipale gives the following curious particulars on this subject. Philip Augustus hav ing selected the feudal castle of the Louvre for his residence, the nobility began to cluster round that site, a tendency which was not materially checked by Louis IXth's selection of the present Palace of Justice for his residence. But when Charles V. installed himself in the Hotel de St. Paul, the nobility followed him, and settled in the quarter now called Quartier de l'Arsenal. But as the Hotel St. Paul was too near the river, royalty soon quitted it for the Palais des Tournelles. Immediately the nobility migrated from the Arsenal to the neigh bourhood of the new royal residence—that is, in a marshy district, still called Le Marais. Henry 11., on being mortally wounded in a tournament, expired in the last-mentioned palace on the 15th of July, 1559. The royal dwelling thereby acquired a sinister reputation ; it was abandoned, sold under Charles IX., and was ultimately transformed into the Place Royale under Henry IV. Meanwhile the royal family migrated to the Tuileries, and was followed, as usual, by the nobility, who built man sions in the immediate neighbourhood and on the opposite bank of the Seine. Under the reign of Louis XIV. the Palais Royal became the centre of trade,in articles of jewellery and fashion, but was soon dethroned by the Boulevards. The financiers and bankers took to the Chemins de Porcherons, which, at the commencement of the present cen tury, was transformed into the Chaussee d'Antin, but the nobility still remained faithful to the Faubourg St. Germain. In our days another great. change is taking place. The working classes are leaving the narrow and unhealthy streets of are centre of Paris for the eastern quarters; the com mercial world, which had begun to migrate to' the north, returns to the centre ; peopling and adding splendour to the two great thoroughfares of the Rue de Rivoli and the Boulevard de Sebastopol;. while the hobility, as well as the new financial gentry, are travelling westwards, seeking the wide spaces which abound near the Arc de Triomphe, and the Champs Elysees, in order to find there suf ficient room for princely dwellings in proportion to their means. " What,' asks the Revue Municipale, " will be the ultimate centre of. Paris under Napoleon 111. ?" and it answers to the question with " The Church of the Madeleine." UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
