k1a.7111 and Military Intelligence. Yesterday the troops stationed at St. Mary's Casemate Barracks, Chatham, assembled on the parade ground for the purpose of being inspected by Adjutant J. Pope. On the conclusion of the inspection 213 non-commis sioned officers and men, belonging to nearly every cavalry and infantry regiment in the service, were ordered to be discharged on various pensions. The mounted company of the Field Train Corps of the Royal Engineers, now quartered at the camp at Alder shot, where they have been stationed for some months past, have received an order to proceed to Brompton Barrack; Chatham. A detachment of of the 33d (Duke' of Wellington'e) Regiment, consisting of 184 men, have been ordered to proceed from Portsmouth to Chatham this day, in order to be attached to the invalid establishment of the latter garrison. The Nimrod, 6, new screw steam gnnvessel, fitting in the basin at Sheerness, had her engineer's first trial of her machinery yesterday. The trial proved high satisfac tory. There were no hot bearings or inefficiencies of any sort. She will shortly proceed out on a trial trip. The Wellington, being fitted out in No. 1 dry dock at Sheerness, is rigged, and is daily expected to be commis sioned. The Emerald, 51 guns, new screw steanafrigaLe, is being fitted at Sheerness. The Cyclops and Terrible steanafrigates are being fitted in the basin at Sheerness. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. W. Moriarty, to the Monarch ; G. W. Bloxsome, Acting Mate, to the Victor; W. M‘K. Saunders, Surgeon, to the ,Shannon ; J. Worsley, Second Master, to the Colossus; J. E. Knight, Second Master, to the Otter ; and F. E. Evenfield, Assistant Paymas ter, in charge of the Spy. MR. THACKERAYS SECOND LECTURE. (From the Scotsman.) The second of the series of lectures on "The Four Georges" was delivered on Friday last by Mr. Thacke ray in the Music Hall, to the members of the Philus o . phical Institution and others. The audience was even larger than on the previous occasion ; and, besides most of the gentlemen who on Tuesday night accompanied the' lecturer to the platform, there were the Lord Pro vost, Ic.z.y, the Dean of Guild, Professor Blackie, Mr. R. Chambers, Z.:Lc. Mr. TIIACKERAY was cheered upon his entrance. He said--We may begin to-night's lecture, as a favourite English novelist has sometimes been accustomed to comcnence his pleasant rotnances, by saying that some timo in the afternoon of the 14th day of June, 1727, two horsemen might have been perceived galloping along the road from Chelsea to Richmond. The fore most, cased in the jackboots of the period, was a broad faced, jolly-looking, and very corpulent cavalier; but by the manner in which he guided his horse you might see that he was a bold as well as skilful rider. Indeed, no man loved sport better, and in hunting the fields of Norfolk no squire rode more boldly after the fox, or cheered Ringwood and Sweetlips more lustily. Thus he introduced Sir Robert Walpole on his way to Richmond lodge, to announce to the Prince of Wales the des,' h of bis — rOya.l father and his accession to the throne. " Dat is von big lie," roared out his sacred Majesty when the statesman, after having pushed his way to the bed chamber of the polite prince, communiotted the import ant tidings. George the Second hated Walpole ; and it was thus that he received the great - Minister who, for fifteen subsequent years, served him with admirable prudence, fidelity, and success. But for Sir Robert Walpole we should have bad the Stuarts back again ; but for his love of peace we should have been involved in a war which the nation was not strong enough to have endured ; in religion he was better than a heathen • he cracked ribald jokes at all the big wigs and bishops, and spent his Sundays tippling with, courtiers at St. James's, or boozing with boors at Houghton. He cared for letters no more than his master did; -- be judged human eature so meanly that we are ashamed to own he was right. But with his hireling Home of Commons he defended the liberty of the coun try ; with his incredulity he kept down priestcraft. He gave Britain peace and freedom, the Three per Cents. nearly at par, and wheat at five-a:Ai-twenty shillings a quarter. The troubles of England after the Hanoverian succession began with a king who had been born in the country and a:pired to rule it. Toe love of the two fir,t. Georges for Hanover was of great benefit to the country. Under them the dangerous spirit of loyalty nearly passed away, while the Fate churches, deprived of the sup port furnished by that spirit, almost emptied themselves, George If. e7as a dull little man, of low tastes; yet Lord Harvey tells uc that he was a great sentimen talist, and there truly must have been something fascinating in the enormous private letters which be wrote. His sentimentalities he kept, however, solely for Germans. He did not hive the fine arts, or pretend to do so ; be bad no more religion than his father, and made even less profession. He was brave, however. At Det- tingen and at Oademard he displayed famone pluck and spin r. When the Pretender's troops were at Derby is 1745 he alone of all the Court did not look pale. Mr. Thackeray said he was frigl'tened to look back at these times. Lady Yarmouth bet a clergyman 5,0601. that he should be made a bishop ; the clergyman obtained his see, and pail her ladyship the wager. In St. James's Chapel, the King was yawning under his canopy, and chattering German as loud as the preacher, one Dr. Young, who wrote poetry abou's stare, and who actually burst into tors, because the Defender of the Faith and dispenser of bishoprics would not listen to him. No wonder that there should have been a Wilitfiel4 crying in the wilderness, and a We3by quitting the insulted temple do pray en the bill side. "Where," said the lecturer, "iA the honest man, or' the pure person one may look at in this Gain? There are some old-world follies and some absurd ceremonials about our Court of the present day that I laugh at ; but as an Englishman, contraning it with the past, shall I not :Icknowledge tho change of to-day ?As the mistress of St. James's passes me now, I salute the Sovereign, wise, moderate, ewein pla,ry of life, the good mother, the good wife, the accom plished lady, the enlightened friend of art, the tender sympathiser in her people's sorrows and glories." (Loud and orJlong,!(.l applause.) Of all the Court of George and Caroline Lady Suffoir wao the only one whocowd be really liked. She was the patroness and friend of Gay. Lord Peterborough, an indomitable youth of seventy years, courted her in flaming epiAles of gallantry with all the vast ceremonies of rapture then in vogue ; and she g.:,t Gay to help her to write suitable replies to them. Pope eulogised her in his fine rhymes (which the lecturer quoted at 1..agt,11.) Beautiful, jolly Mary Bellenden liked her, and in her c=eutric way offered her the chtic3 of anything in her farm prAe,ce that she care:l to stick a knife into. A jully: , etthese maids cf honour were ; anti it was a merrier Enelaecl that of our ancestors than that we now inhabit. "Tne people, high and low, amused themselves much more ; and what with drinking, danc ing, and playing at cards, and ail sorts of games, the how statesmen got throu g h their work at Fancy Lord Palmerston playing at " hockey in St. Jeuies'e-patk; and Lord J.

Pea, Fielding, when be entertained two ladies at his lodgings, sent out for a fiddler to play them old times in all sorts of quaint minor keys, 'and the gentlr man led out the one I sly after the other, and eelernnly danced with her. Every provincial town had its assem bly rooms —out of which the great wen of Tiondon has now slicked ad. the lite. Then came a brilliant picture of Bath in the time of its glory, when all history bathed there under the rule of Beau Nash, whose portrait graced the pump-room between those of Newton and Pope.. " Wiedoni and wit but partly seen, But folly at full length." George the Second came there to drink the waters and play cards. Chesterfield with his gout submitted to the iron rules requiring shoes to be worn ; end only the old rnad-cap Peterborou g h - had the audacity to walk about in boots, with a cabbage under each arm, and a chicken with its neck d rawn, which he had been cheapening for his dinner. Mary Wortley wa s there, young and beauti ful ; and Mary Wortley , old, hideous, and snuffy. Horace Walpole spent many a d ay there ; and there a Ong, lean, gaunt figure, swathed in flannel, would pass by in a chair, his bigh Roman nose, gleaming eye, and terrible frown looking oat of tho window, and time who saw it would say that was the great Commoner, Mr. Pitt. One might meet leaning on th e arts of Quin, going to call on Colonel RSrnollett, ingworm, whose two negroes were before the door practising upon the French horn.

ThE MURDER IN PARLIALVENT-STREET. CORONER'S INQUEST.-VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER. [The following appeared in our late edition last even ing.] Yesterdayafternoon Mr. Bedford, the Coroner for Wes'. minster, and a highly respectable jury, commenced an inquiry, at the Westminster Hospital, into the death of Richard Cope, shopman to Mr. Berry, watchmaker, of Parliament-street, whose death was occasioned by injuries inflicted on him by a man named Marley, a reputed ticket-of-leave man and a deserter. Marley, it will be recollected, is in custody, and has undergone one or two examinations. The jury having been sworn, the Coroner briefly nar rated the circumstances under which they had been summoned, and pointed out to them their duties, viz., to ascertain how, when, and by what means the de ceased came by his death, after which the jury proceeded to view the body. On the return of the jury, John Allen, hackney carriage attendant, residing at 51, Tothill-street, brother-in-law of Richard Cope, identified the body of the deceased, who was 36 years of age, and a jeweller by trade. About half-past 9 o'clock on the evening of the 20th October last witness was on duty in Now Palace-yard, and heard a cry of "Stop him," and saw a crowd •f persons running after a man (Robert Marley). He ran after the man and stopped him. He was running in the direction of Canning's Statue from Paynter's Magpie and Horse-shoe-passage, leading from Bridge-street to Palace-yard. When he caught hold of Marley, he said, " Leave go ; what have I done ?" Witness replied, "I don't kno w , but I shan't let you go till Ido know." 'A man named Lerigo came up almost immediately after, and said, "For God's sake, don't let go of him, for he has nearly murdered a man." Witness said, " Where's the man ?' The man made no observation to it, but put a cigar he had in his hand in his mouth. Witness called, " Where's the murdered man ?" Lerigo said, " Come with me, and I'll show you." Witness went with Marley and Lerigo down Parliament-street to Berry's shop, The shop was shut up, and he saw a man outside the shop, supported by two men. He was bleeding. Witness did not then know the bleeding man was his brother-in-law. Witness said to Marley, " I shall take you to the station." Marley asked to be conveyed there in a cab; but witness objected, as the police station was so near, and he ultimately walked there. After Marley was at the station he saw spattered marks of blood on his right hand. Marley was afterwards searched and locked up. He gave the name of Jenkins, but no residence. . _ Mr. Alfred Marshall, house surgeon of the hospital, deposed Deceased was brought to the hospital between 9 and 16 o'clock on the evening of the 20th October, I first saw him in bed a few minutes afterwards. His shirt was very much covered with blood. He was suffering from a fracture of the skull and depression of the side bone. He was sensible, but could not speak. Some medicine was given to him, and he was left quiet. An operation was performed on the following day by elevating the depressed portion of the bone ;it was performed by Mr. Holt. It gave de ceased relief, and the case went on favourably till the Lt of November, when unfavourable symptoms showed themselves, but passed off, and he went on favourably till the 6th November, when a change took place, and the symptoms became aggravated till he died on Sunday last about two o'clock p.m. On 2811 Oct. a man was brought to the hospital, and taken to deceased's,room. Deceased was then able to speak, and he appeared to be perfectly calm. He identified the prisoner as the man who struck him. Deceased was a little worse after his confronting the prisoner, but within 24 hours he was in the sane state as before. He made a post mortem examination of the head. Thera were two fractures on the left side of the head. One piece of bone had been driven in, and one eleva;ed, and could be moved freely up and down. One piece was removed during the progress of the case. There were fissures in the skull branching from the fracture. There was a second fracture, the skull being very slightly depressed. There were two or three scalp wounds without fracture. The injuries might have been inflicted by such an instru• ment as that produced (a life preserver). The injury on the Lad was not the direct cause of death, but the disease arising from the fracture of the skull. Mr. Holt, senior surgeon of the hospital, deposed— When I saw deceased he was paralysed on one side of the body produced by a depressed fracture of the left side of the skull. I immediately performed the opera tion of trephining or elevating the bone, which gave mmediate relief. Deceased gradually recovered the use , of the right leg, the paralysi , of the face subsided, he was enabled to put out his tongue, and subsequently to speak. He also gradually recovered in a measure the use of the right arm, He progressed favourably until Friday (with one exception) when unfavourable symptoms arose and continued until his death on Sunday. The post mortem exarninatica was conducted under my superintendence. An extensive scalp wound existed on the left side of the head corresponding to the depressed side of the skull, which was fissured in different direc tions radiating from the depression. Witness then pro ceeded to describe the other appearances of (lie head, lungs, spleen, dm, and gave it as his opinion that the cause of death resulted from the fracture of the skull. The wound very much corresponded in shape with the life-preserver that had been produced. I don't think the deceased was injured by his examination by the magis trate. I it - as not present. Ey the Coroner—That examination, I suppose, was approved of by some medical man. Mr. Holt—l believe it was. Witness continued—l did not observe bruises about deceased's shoulders. George Lerigo, of Chapton-street, Oxford-street, de posed--I was pr.ssing Mr. Berry's shop about a quarter past 9 o'clock on the 20th October. I heard a slight groan proceeding from the shop. Two or three men were outside of the shop door looking in. I said, " What's that ?" The men said, "Ws only a wan and wife quarrelling." I went on about half-a-dozen yards and returned to the shop, and pushed the door open. I saw a man standing up in the shop striking a man be hind the counter, who was bent down almost on his knees, with his hands up warding off the blows. I called out to the passers by, "For God's sake, come in, for there's a man being murdered." Whilst I was appealing to the public the assailant took a parcel from off the counter, and also his lighted cigar, and pushed past me into the street. I said to thr, crowd, "There he goes, won't none of you secure him I" He went up Parliament-street and turned round Derby-street to the left. I followed him. When a little way up Cannon-street he turned round, and seeing that I was pursuing him he commenced running. He hai no parcel with him then. I don't know what became of it, but he had it up to the time he commenced running. I then called "Stop him," and a number of persons followed him. He wont up Cannoa•row across Bridge-street, through Paynter's-passage into Pa lace-yard. When I got there I found he had been stopped by a waternian. By the Coroner—The man was striking deceased with a life-preserver. The strap was hanging down. The life-preserver produced resembles that used by Marley. The man left the shop with a life-preserver in his hand, but it was not found on him when he was stopped. I afterwards went back to deceased, who was covered. with blood on. the left side. I have since ascer tained that the man who murdered Cope is called Marley, I never saw him before the abDre night. I don't kuow the men who were standing in front of the shop at the time I heard a groan. By the Jury—After I got into the shop the men who were standing outside made off. By the C ironer—Can you , say positively the blows iniketed by the man struck deceased on the head. 1 Witness—Yes, I can. From the time I saw Marley strike the blows till he was apprehended, I only lost sight of him for a minute. lc, A i n i g r: B 3 ; : as o . sis D , iekling, grocer's assistant, Liverpool- s t ree t, deposed th a t h e saw a man striking another in Mr. Berry's shop.

Mr. Berry, watchmaker, a!ter posed—Deceased was in my shop in Parliament-street on the night of C fish, and ult. I was in my shop at 8 o'clock that nit-ht. the there. I left about 9 o'ckck, and returned sitor4 pe was with a fish basket containing a cod him to take it to my residence at Pimlico. I placed it n ear the door. When the shop w a s o pened the follow ing morning the basket was missed. (It supposed is Proacd the parcel Marley was seen to take away was the fish basket). Cope was in the habit of taking away at night with hire from the shop a basket in a blue bag cue. taining valuable property. About two months since I saw e, suspicious-looking ~.an lurking about my pre mises, has it was not Marley. Cope was a re&erved roan. He was a married man, and had worked for me upwards of ten years. Insp( oi:or Bradstock, of theAdivi3ion, said—l received the prisoner at the police station iu King-street on the night of the 20th ult. He was charged by Lerigo with having assaulted a man that night in Mr. Berry's shop. I afterwards went to the shop, and found a quantity of blood on the floor, the walls and coun ter of which were bespattered with blood. De• ceased in the meantime had been conveyed to the hospital. The backs of four fingers of the prisoner's right hand were covered with blood—it had a fresh ap pearance. When I informed him with what he was charged he made no reply. He gave the name of Joseph Jenkins, but I have since learned it is Robert Marley. He refused to gide any address. I have since ascertained that in 1853 he was transported for seven years for a burglary in Baldwin's-garden, Holborn, and had re turned on a ticket of leave. Previously to that he had twalve months' imprisonment for stealing skins from a warehouse in Saffron-hill. I was present at the hospital with the prisoner when he was identified by Cope as the man who assaulted him with a life preserver, pointing at the same time with his left hand to his head. By the Jury —Marley has not long returned from trans portation. He has since worked for Mr. Schafer, cab proprietor, Stamford-street. I know of another case against the prisoner, but I decline entering into the par. ticulars. After some further evidence, _ _ _ The Coroner summed up, and the Jury returner a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Robert Marley, the man at present in custody. The jury at the same time expressed their approba tion of the conduct of Allen and Lerigo, in apprehend ing the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 12. MANSION-HOUSE.—William, Pierce and James Burgess, till recently guards in the service of the South Eastern Railway Company, were brought before the Lord Mayor, upon remand, in custody of Serjeant Smith and Serjeant Thornton, dettctive officers attached to the Scotland-yard division of the metropolitan police force, charged with having stolen 15,0001. worth of bullion from a package in its transit from London to Folkestone last May t wekvemonths. Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for the prosecution, said— Your lordship is no doubt aware that these two prisoners are charged by the South-Eastern Railway Company with having, in the year 1855, been concerned in the stealing of a large quantity of gold of the value of about 15,0001., which was being conveyed by that railway from this country to France. Your lordship's predecessor heard Mr. Rees, the solicitor to the company, state upon his oath that he believed he should be in a condition — and, indeed, knew that he should be in a position—to produce material evidence bringing this charge home to both prisoners ii they were remanded until to-day. Your lordship's predecessor, upon that statement, was pleased to remand them accordingly. Of course, those who bring a charge against any of their fellow-subjects are bound to use every possible diligence in bringing forward evi dence to support it—and there has been no lack of indus try on the part of those who prosecute this case since the period when the remand took place—and it was ap pointed that we should go on to-day, commencing with the examination of an accomplice in the crime, who would depose to the whole of the circumstances, and them, we should Lo on to produce witnesses for the purpose of corroborating his statement. I regret to say that, with out any fault or want of diligence on our part, but en tirely through the necessity of going through certain forms, in order to procure the attendance of that wit ness, who is a convict under sentence at the public works at Portland, we are n. tin a position to produce him to-day. He cannot arrive in London till late this after noon, but then we are certain that he will be here, and therefore, at any hour that your lordship will appoint this case to go on to-morrow, we shall be in a condition to carry out our intention, by commencing this case with his examination. Mr. Wontner said he appeared for Pierce at his last examination before the late Lcrd Mayor, who took upon himself the responsibility of keeping the two prisoners in custody without the slightest evidence having been a I duced against them. A felony had not even been shown to have been committed within the jurisdiction of the late Lord M ‘yor, nor had it been shown by the statement of Mr. Rees that that gentleman had bad a communica tion from a man in custody implicating the prisoners in a felony, and no other witness upon that occasion was brought forward. He (Mr. Wontner) need hardly say that which he was quite sure the Lord Mayor knew perfectly wed—that it was necessary in courts of justice that evidence—not hearsay evidence—should be given connecting a man with the commission of a felony, before a magistrate was warranted in detaining him in custody. Here there was an utter absence of all such evidence ; there was the simple statement of Mr. Rees that he had seen a person who had been convicted of crime, and who was suffering punishment, and, from the communication which that person had made to him, Mr. R-es said, if ' the prisoners were remanded, he expected to be able to bring home guilt to them. Under these circumstances, he (Mr. Wontner4 trusted that the Lord Mayor would not take upon himself the responsibility of acting cou• trary to law by detaining the prisoners in custody with out further evidence. Mr. Lewis submitted that Burgess ought to be fort',., with discharged. In order to detain a party "'was necessary that evidence should be given of 4 felony within the jurisdiction of the Court, and the party mu,t be proved to have been implicated in it. The solicitor of the prosecution merely stating that somebody had told him something would not be e vidence in any o th er C curt, at al therefore it ought rot to be received there. The Lord Mayor—The meet Important feature in this case is, that there has not 'coca auy want of due dili. genre on the part of the prosecutors. It is perfectly clear that every exert;fon has been made by them to bring the convict up in time for examination to-day, although they have failed, I should not be doing justice to all parties if I did not remand the case till to-morrow. The prls:oners were remanded accordingly. ESTAIINSTER.—STRANGE CHARGE OF EMBEZZLE MENT.— George Baxter was placed at the bar charged with embrzzliug the sum of 121. 10a. Thomas Jones, a tanner, living at 4, Cartaret-street, Westminster, said that a short'time ago he employed the prisoner to dress ten dozen goats' shins. He gave him 51. 103. to purchase the skins with, and afterwards saw the receipt for the money. Prosecutor then paid the prisoner for dressing the skins ; and, about the time they ought to have been ready, was obliged suddenly to leave for Ireland, when the accused proposed that he should sell the skins for him. Prosecutor consented, providing he obtained 12/. 10a. for them, and told hini to arrange the matter with his (prosecutor's) uncle, to a hour he was to restore the skins if they did not fetch the required price. On his return to London, on Tues day night, he could obtain no satisfactory account of either the skins or money, and accordingly he gave the accused into custody, Mr. Arnold inquired how prosecutor could charge the prisoner with embezzling 121. 10s. when he had no evidence to show that he had ever received that amount. Prosecutor replied because he had told him that he was not to take less than 121. 10a , and therefore he had no right to sell them. He told the prisoner not to sell them at all, but to give them to his uncle, in order that they might be sold elsewhere. Mr. Arnold observed that his account was very incon . Blatant, for by his statement the prisoner was not to sell and was to sell for 121. 10s.. There was no evidence to show that the prisoner had received any money at all, and it was therefore absurd to call it embezzlement. Prisoner was neither his servant nor his clerk, and it being a mere matter of debt between them, prosecutor bad us right to have given the prisoner into custody. The accused was accordingly discharged. WORSHIP-STREET.—ANOTHER MURDEROUS A T . TEMFT BY A FOREIGN SOLDIER. --Minetto Luigi, a tall and powerful Italian, a soldier of the Foreign Legion, was brought before Mr, Hammilt upon a charge of at- tempting to stab William Siggins, a coal porter, residing at Stepney. Mr. Abraham Meldola, a chemist, in Lernan-street, Whitechapel, attended to interpret the evidence to the prisoner. Anothe,r Italian, named Carlo Coleco, is under remand from tb:is court for attempting to stab several persons, and F,everal other members of the Foreign Legion have been charged here with similar attempts, and one of ',here, a Hungarian, with having actually stabbed a police constable and another person, both of whom are lying in the London Hospital in a dangerous condition. The cmplainant in the present cage stated that on Tuesday evening be was at the White Hart public house, Whitechapel, when the prisoner entered, and asked, in English, for half•a-pint of beer, and bad been there about two minutes when he dropped a sixpence from his month. A man who was present picked up the coin and handed it back to him, bat the prisoner immediately took a formidable knife from his side pocket, and drawing it out of its sheath, made an attempt to stab the man, who, however, got out of his way. He then attempted to stab the complainant himself, who, however, seized hold of his wrist, and, alter a struggle, succeeded in disarming him, and handed the weapon to a police constable, who took charge of the prisoner also. Mr. Hammill remarked upon the frequent charges against those men, all of whom seemed to be armed with these formidable knives, and he said the a )oner they were sent away the better. The pris'ohir Wa3 com mitted for trial. LAMBETII.--,SEaro•os CHARGE AGAINST AN UNDER TAKER.-21/r. iVilliane I .)urekley, an undertaker, carrying on business at No. 66, Tower -street, Westminster-road, appeared before Mr. 1 ,!:11iott to answer two charges of having felonithisly, I .nowin,4iy, and wilfully cauicd to be inserted in a certain register of burials, kept according to law, certain false entries relating to the burial of two persons in the burial. ground belonging to the parish o f Lambeth. In the first case gone into it appeared th a t , 19th of September last, a person tram . , l b a , dl 4 in the service of Mr. Dunkley, the defrad amt, on the called at the oLffia ice e o t f b h a e n T d Tooting ruereitailo Boreat the V es t ry -h a ll , .. fol. the burial of Julius Stockwell, aged nine years and a half, and spathe 'uo.dertaker was Mr. Randall. Esterby, of 4, ttage,-, The deceased having he,en described as under 10 years of age, the burial fees w d ee only 9s. ; 13:0 the officers of the hoard having di s cr ,vered that the child was 11 years and —Lha.t the nar upwarde, in whir..n case the fees were 138, instead of 9s. fraud:A the, 40 of Randall was merely a clop, for that Mr. Dunkley . i was the undertaker, and that he had de 'board out. of 4a., they caused the present P P ee edin"gs to be taken. The more serious part of the c4 "trgi 3 was this, that bydefendant's trick to put ! the d'zierence of fee in his pocket, the renistry of death w " l4 lse, as the deceased was described in it as being only nine years and a half, when in reality he was 11 and upwai ds. A witness named Groggs, at whose house the deceased died, deposed th,it he had employed the defendant to bury him at the new parish burial ground at Tooting ; that at the time of doing so he told the defendant the child was 11 years and upwards, and 11 years was in• scribed by him on the coffin-plate as the age of the child. The witness also produced the bill furnished to him by Mr. Dunkley fur the burial of the deceased, and in it appeared the item of 134. for burial fees. Mr. Binns admitted that there had been some mistake in the matter ; but who to attribute it to, was difficult to say. He hoped, however, his worship did not think the evidence of each a character as to induce him to com mit his client on a charge which would subject him to transportation. _ _ Mi. Elliott remarked that there could be no doubt that the proceeding was most improper, and of a dis- honest character, and there was a sufficient ewe to pro, ceed against the defendant for exacting a greater amount for the burial fee than he had paid. He did not think, however, that the evidence was sufficiently strong to sustain the more serious charge, and therefore should not commit on it. Mr. Barker requested his worship to p )stpone his final decision to a future day that he might have an opportu nity of calling together and consulting the members of the board on the subject. The second ease he had to urge against the defendant was somewhat stronger than that already heard, and he should wish the whole matter to be considered on a future day. Mr. Elliott consented to an adjournment, and the proceedings were put off for a week. THE LATI BURGLARY AT BRIXTON.—W. H, Woot ton, Joseph Young, Charles Cullen, Charles Homer, and Mary Ann Clark, who have been in custody for se veral days on a charge of being concerned in burglari ously breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. S wires, a chemist, on Brixton-hill, and stealing from thence a cash. box containing about 501. in cash, and various other property, were finally examined. Since the last examination the prisoner Young has confes-ed to having been one of the parties to the rob bery. and said that Wootton had in the first instance formal open a skylight and let him in, and be after that undid the fastenings of the door and let him (Wootton) in. The prisoners were all fully committed for trial. THA MES, THE ANGLO-ETALIAN LEGION.—Josefo Manosi, an Italian, aged 21, was brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with attempting to stab Tbos. Venables, a police-constable, No. 141 K. Venables stated that about 1 o'clock on Tuesday morning he was on duty in Baker-street, Stepney, and heard the prisoner quarrelling with two prostitute? ' one of whom was struck by him. He remonstrated with him and told him to go about his business. The noise con tinued, the prisoner again struck one of the females, and he endeavoured to make the Italian understand as well as he could that he was doing wrong and must go away. The prisoner did leave the spot, walked a few yards, and then returned to where he (witness) was standing. As the prisoner came towards him he draw a knife from a sheath, and made a back-handed blow at him, which he with difficulty avoided by falling back two yards. The prisoner advanced towards him with the knife, and made a plunge forward at his breast with his knife. He again avoided the blow intended for him by stepping on one side. The knife was within two or three inches of hies on each occasion, and he should have been killed if he bad not retreated and shown great activity. He drew his staff and made a blow at the prisoner, who ran away with the knife in his land. He chased the prisoner down several streets and he got away. John Wood, a police constable, No. 112 K, stated that he met the prisoner about two o'clock. on Ttiesday morning, and having heard of the outrage, and received a description of the prisoner, he asked him if he had a knife about him. The prisoner said he bad got no knife, and at the same time put his right band into his trousers pocket. Witness laid hold of the prisoner's band, and found that he had grasped a large bowie knife in a sheath. He seized it and prevented the prisoner using it, and secured him. The prisoner was quite sober. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. Selie said this was too serious a case for him to dispose of summarily. He saw by the Worship street police sheet before him that another Italian, belonging to the foreign legion, was charged with a similar offence. Mr. Robertson said there were about 50 men belong ing to the British Italian Legion prowling about Step ney and Whitechapel, all armed with bowie knives or stilettos. Mr. Selfe--Not part of their equipment? Mr. Robertson—No, sir ; but they draw these deadly weapons on the slightest provocation, and sometimes without any provocation at all. No one is sate. The prisoner. helonga_tahlale...llritish Italian Legion. Mr. Selfe—These cases have been so numerous, and the practice has become so general forforeigners to attack people with knives that I shall commit the prisoner for trial. I shall not send him to the Clerkenwell Sessions, but to the more solemn tribunal, the Old Central Crimi nal Cour. It was only by God's providence the police man was not killed.

Like many greav - 00 t versationalists and wits Malakhoff contracted .oast intimate relations with iacchus and, under the " io t once of the latter, he participated, in 1831, in seel e lo which broke out in the town, and which had one t' in ol —that oilthe dismissal of Malakhoff from the d c ' e ", l ing in which he was employed. Being incapable of te r l o o himself to any more reputable trade, he opeee d juesi wine-shed on a hill outside of the town, and lety:„. ea into practice the theoretical notions which he bad a°4-:000 by along and zealous study of the nature of beerbo.ro, and wine-shops. His trade prospered ; his old gid° 3 , o oa crowded_round him ; and in their enthusiasm chriii"„gb• the wine-shed—which soon expanded into a.deeeot r, d ie lic-house--and the hill on which it was built by the° — (1 roe° of the popular host. In time a village grew °„ a rde the public-house, and was likewise called by the, : t ife of Malakticff. But the entertainin g an d itnee.;,ver h ounder of the place, in his deepest cs, could roe have dreamt that o ne d a y hi s name would be )u ro bt mou th; of all men, and that one o f th e h er oes of g ar. war wcrild esteem it as an i nes ti ma bl e ti t le of bo o ° BIRTHS.
