MARLBOROUGH-STREET. "EMPLOYMENT OFFICES" AND THEIR PRACTICES —A young woman, of resFectable appearance, applied to Mr Tyrwhitt for his adTice. She stated that seeing an adver tisement in a paper, to the effect that there were several situations vacant for young women, she applied at the ad dress, 96, Regent-street, an " Employment Office for Ladies," for a situation as lady's maid; and, after paying a fee of ss, she was told there was a situation which would just suit her. An address in Cambr:dge-street, Hackney road, was given to her, and she was told to write to "A,8." She did so, but not receiving any answer, she went again to the ofil3e in Regent-street, and then an address, " 16, Watling-street,'' was given to her, the person at the office telling 1.1.,r it was a confectioner's, and that the situation was to attend to a luncheon bar. She said she would go there, but was told she must write. She, however, went to the place, and found that instead of the place being a con fectioner's, it was a coach-house, and two gentlemen she saw there told her they knew nothing of the matter or of the aloe. On going back again to the eflff.:e she saw three or IJur females abow to enter, and she advised them nut to do so. On demanding her 53 bask it was refused. Oue of the females alluded to by the young woman also attended, she having been told to write to "A 8.," in Cambridge-street, Hackney-row, who wanted a house keeper. On going to the place she found it was a printing office, and a young man there told a person had asked that a litter, addressed to A. 8., might be taken in for him, as he had a housekeeper who wanted a situation. Mr Tyrwhitt, after expressing the hope that publicity would be given to the matter, said ho would send an officer with the young woman and see if he could get her money back. Rosekilling, one of the warrant cfficers, subsequently re ported that he went to 96, Regent-street, accompanied by the young woman, and a man there said he had never guaranteed the young woman any situation, and that if the receipt for the 5s was looked at that would be found to be the case. He (Roackilling) asked the man if he intended to give up the ss, and he said he should not, as he acted on principle, and that they might do as they liked. Mr Tyrwhitt said it the young woman was sent to a place and there was no vacancy, it was a fraud. He would advise the young woman to apply to the County Court for a sum mons. 82 E 4 122 122 6 7 31 33 16 17 85 67 105 107 43} 1 6 12S 136 1:-.8 27 13.1 8) 01 (59 47 90 35 90 93 DI 113 k 65 67 102 W 3 33 40 110 110) 04 1,6 63i G4i 106 148.1 99 101 51 63 21 :5 105 i 1001 614 C 5 l 9.1 i 954 125 130 85 36 0 10 7 8 • 118 123 1 11 p 75 77 10 11 132 130 54 66 34 R 6 81i ill 8 9 160 165 3i 4i p 97 99 33 35 , SSESSIONS.

MURDEIWITS AssAuvr.—Jonathan Cooper, a dock la bourer, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with violently assaulting Mary Boyd. The complainant, a widow about 30 years of age, stated that last night a woman, with whom the prisoner was ac quainted, asked her for the loan of 4s, She was unable to comply with the request as she had no money, and had just put her children to bed without any food. The woman then called her vile names and took a coat away. She went after her and was assaulted by the prisoner and others, who used vile language and threatened her life. She retreated to her own house, N 0.9, Cartwright-street, and a quantity of small stones were thrown at her window. The prisoner took up a brick and threw it at the window. It passed through a pane of glass, struck her on the chin, and inflicted a severe contusion. The brick then fell upon an afflicted child and injured it. The prisoner took up another brick, sent it through another pane of glass, and struck her on the shoulder. A third brick was thrown. It entered her room but did not strike her, The witness, who was in great pain, displayed the bruises on her chin and shoulder, The evidonce of the prisoner was fully confirmed, and Mr Partridge said the prisoner was a savage and cowardly fellow, and sentenced him to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour.

A meeting of landowners and others locally interested was held at Sedbergh on Wednesday, to take into consideration this projected line of railway; the Rev, 0. Platt in the chair. After hearing the explanations of the solicitor and engi neer, the meeting unanimously passed a resolution in fa vour of the proposed railway and pledged itself to support the bill in Parliament. It was stated that many of the leading landowners along the propocel route had signified their approbation of the line, and in some instances had effered to take the value of their land in shares. The proposed line would commence by a junction with the London and North-Western Railway at Sedhergh, and pass in an easterly direction through Garsdale and Wensleydale to the North• Eastern Railway at Leyburn. it was to be extended from the latter place, via Masham, to tlelmerby junction.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) The adjourned inquest was resumed this morning by Mr Carttar, the Coroner, at the Avenue School-rooms , Erith. The first witness examined was Mr Vredetlek Albert Tipple, who said—l am a surgeon residing at Erith. On my arrival at the scene of the explosion the first I saw was Rayner—he was dead. The next I saw was Hubbard—he was alive. He was lying near the wreck of Silver's house. I don't think he had been moved, as he was lying in an in sensible state on his back. He did not appear to have re ceived any external injury, but on raising him up I found he had received an extensive fracture of the skull from which the brains were protruding. He lived two hours after my arrival. lam still attending the boy Simms, but it is very doubtful whether he will recover. Walter Silver said•—l was in the outhouse of my residence at the moment of the explosion. I had been out about a quarter to six that morning, but I had not been near the magazine. I saw there were two barges near Mr Hall's neg.-aloe, The first indication of the explosion I heard was a tremendous crack, and it appeared as if the whole roof was lifted up. It seemed to me to come from-the direction of Mr Hall's niagoz . ne. I cannot positively say where the explosion first occurred. lat first thought it might have been the explosion of half a pound of powder I kept in my own house. I was thinking for a moment when another explosion occurred ; some more bricks came about me. Then followed another, and then all became darkness. I don't know whether I fell down. The first body I saw was that of Elie Osborne, now dead, she resided with me. 1 am the manager of the Liverpool Company, and I superin tended the business of the company. My magazines had not been opened that morning. No one is admitted to the magazine except on business. Mr Hall's magazine was constructed exactly as our own. I believe there were seven men ordered to come to work that morning, but I had not seen any of them. By a Juror—The second explosion was the heaviest of the three. The first one was not very heavy, the second was terrific, the third was not so loud; but I distinctly heard the three explosk ns. The gunpowder was kept in barrels. Raynor and myself were like brothers. By the Coroner—l dou't know the maker of the barrels which contains the powder. They aro made at the mills at Faversham. The letter put into my hand I believe to to in the handwriting of Raynor. By a Juror—The magazine is abcut 20 yards from the river e and about 100 feet between the two magazines ,:. I believe our magazine was the last to explode. The Coroner said his great desire, in the first instance, was to discover the place at which the explosion at first commenced, and then having ascertained that they could take the evidence as to the modo of loading, unloading, and storing the powder. Having ascertained that from Mr Silver he would then retire, and at another part of the inquiry he would be recalled. Samuel Wm. Fletcher, aged 13, said—l reside with Mr Silver, I got up about half-past five. I was at the back of the house, looking towards Erith, with the cows, when the explosion took place. I had not been to the river or the magazine. I first heard a man say " Oh." I saw the flash go from the barge to the magazine. I could see the sails, but not the barges. I then fell down. I did not hear the sound. I cannot say whether I got up or was picked up. When I came to myself Mr Raynor's magazine was in flames. The smoke had all gone away. By a Juror-1 saw two barges lying off the magazine the evening before the explosion took place. Ono was at the end of the jetty, the other along side. I can't say frog„ which of the barges the flash seemed to come from. I think it was Hubbard who called out " Oh." He was not engegel at either of the magazines. I saw him before the explosion. He was not smoking. By a Juror—l did not see smoke coming from the cabin of either of the barges the night before the explosion. We have boiled a kettle once for a barge men, but that's a long time ago. I never saw any men smoke in the barges. Thomas Richardson—l reside at Erith, and lam a fisherman. I was standing about 150 yards off the south shore in the stream when the explosion occurred. The first thing that called my attention to the barges was my eon calling out to me that men were at work at the barges, and, therefore, it was getting late. I looked towards the jetty, and there I saw some men on the barge, but I can't say how many, I then saw a great smoke and then a tremen dous explosion. I fancied it came from the barges. I felt little effect from the first shock, but the following one was terrific. I was struck by a stone and injured. The barge was greatly irjured. When I recovered, I heard what I now believe to be cries for assistance from some persons in the water. I afterwards hell ei to rescue one of the poor fellows from the water. When I first looked towards the barges tho smoke seemed to arise suddenly. The second shock seemed to lift the boat right out of the water. By a Juryman—Only a few seconds elapsed between the shocks. I did not see a large steamer going down the river at the time. I know that the steamers go very close to the river bank when passing the spot, but I did net see any sailing down that morning. A steamer, I believe, passed atter the explosion, I did not see the vessel myself at all. Thomas Wehards, aged 12, said—l was with my father on board his boat on the morning of the explosion. I saw two men at work on the jetty. They seemed to be wheeling casks along in a truck. I told my fa her it was getting late as men were at work. I next saw a great smoke at the stern of the barge. I heard a great noise and was forced into the cabin. I cannot recolleet anything else. The first thing remember was my father g tine into a boat to row down to the place near the explos'ol , The etea^ er I saw after the e: !lesion was a middlin :_ed boat. She was going along the north shore, By a Juror—' 'he smoke I saw was clack, and it seemed to come from the barge lying along e e the jetty, and not at the end. By Mr Poland-7. vms only frightened when I saw my father bleeding. I not'ed the exact posit'on of the I --et, at the jetty—one was at the end, the other higher up along side. The smoke seemed to come from the end of the jetty, and directly I saw it I hear ale noise. lam certain it seemed to come :rom the s:ea. ;-,f the barge. Tho steamer I saw was going down with t'-e Ca away from London. I saw two men on the 'etty, huts cannot say whether there were any men at work on the barges. I saw my father was hurt before I saw the steamer. Robert 13r1.•_ce-1, am a ballast mau, and I was in a barge on the river fat: ntreast of Mr Ilall's magazine. We were then well over the south. Two men, named Clark and Grimes, were on board at the time. C r!7 - es was steering. A large flash came all round the barge, then a shower of bricks followed, which knocked me down, I saw a little boy aboard one of the barges before tl'o explosion. I felt the second shook with the greatest inten::ty. I then heard Grimes cry, " Save me, save me." I sa: - him hold up his hand in the water amidst the smoke. I teld him up and he was saved. I saw a large screw collier going down the river, but :he took no notice of the explosion, and kept on her course. The barge was tilled with brick, and 42 holes were knocked in the mainsail. I don't know the name of the steamer. .I tailing down the river all vessels would have to pass very near the nagazine. I never raw a caution pt.t up near to Erith magazine like there is at Purfleet. Thomas Rotnt Clarke, ballastman, said—l was on the same barge as Brzce. I was dewn in the hold. vr e were right abreast of the lower powder magazine, aboilt NO yards off. I first saw a flash all round the lighter, ar 1 then came a shower of briAs. T saw the steamer two or three minutes after. I did nol her: the third shock. I s not injured at all. I saw some p^rzons moving about on V..° barges of the jetty, but I can't say how many there were, The inquiry was proceeding when we went to press. Course of Excha: ~ --T.lxis Day, Amsterdam ........

Bill Forgeries in Leeds. The disclosures which have recently been made with re- I gard to the forgeries of mercantile paper committed by the runaway Meriden, following close upon those of Ackroyd, who was convicted of forgery at last Leeds Assizes, gave rise to some very unpleasant doubts. It seems hardly possible fact it is utterly impossible—to believe that Marsden's fabrication of bills was not known to several persons long before the stoppage of the Leeds Banking Company. There must have been men in the town who knew well that Mars den was dealing in forged paper, and who yet held their peace and took no steps to follow up a clue which might have sopped his course some months before ho found it necessary to fly the country. It is absurd to suppose he can have forged and uttered a thousand bills without the fact of his having done so becoming known to persons who, from motives of their own, winked at his proceedings, and who having escaped loss themselves took no pains to bring the off nder to jua'ice. We have been informed by those whose information up _u such a matter is likely to be good, that if attorneys' and bill discounters' efficts, bank parlours and merchants' counting houses could disclose their secrets, we should hear strange tales of forged bills which never carne out in courts of justice, and should learn that no felony is so frequently compounded as that of the forgery of a bill of exchange. The balder of such a bill, especially if it is of large amount, naturally wants his money, and if that is forthcoming, it is not, as he conceives it, his business to prosecute the in dorser for forg-ry. The banker to whom such a bill is presented for discount, and who knows that it is a forgery, merely shakes his head at it, and refuses, without assigning any reason, to take it over the counter. The professional bill disc unter will possibly take it without demur, if he thinks the forger's credit is not entirely exhausted, for he knows that ho wit! strain every nerve to meet that bill. The attorney in whose hands such a bill is placed by his client, with an intimation that it is a forgery, or at all events that there are great doubts about its genuineness, uses the threat of criminal proceedings merely as a means of getting the bill taken up. Now let us be distinctly understood. We do not mean to say that all attorneys, all bill discounters, all merchants, and all bankers are in the habit of thus dealing with forged paper coming under their notice. No doubt there are many men who, happily for themselves and the mercantile world, take a different view of their rights aed dueies, and would no more think of allowing a forger to escape because they lost nothing by him than they would think of picking pockets or forging acceptances themselves. Unless, however, merchants and bankers are greatly belied there are not a few among them who regard forgery as a venial ofEnce when it does not injure their own pockets, and who never think of prosecuting, on public grounds, persons as to whose guilt they have no doubt. It i possible, however, that the indisposition to take any steps with regard to the prosecution of offenders against the forgery laws may sometimes arise from more respectable causes than those which we have indicated. A banker or merchant may have strong suspicions as to the genuineness of paper presented to him, and yet those suspicions do not seem to him to be strong enough to warrant him in taking any other step than merely refusing it. Of course in such cases it would be absurd to say that he ought to take cri minal proceedings, or indeed that he would be justified in so doing. But he might at all events take steps to ascertain whether his suspicions were or were not well grounded, and act accordingly. There are channels well known to all per sons engaged in trade through which inquiries may be made with the utmost secresy, and with almost certainty as to their being followed by correct information. We believe upon very good authority, and if we are wrong we shall bo glad to be corrected and to find ourselves mistaken, that the forgery of negotiable instruments has very much increased within the last few years, and that the actual prosecutions for this offence represent a very small numter of the forgeries actually committed. If this is the case it is disgraceful to the public morality, and must sap the very foundations of crodit. Every man engaged in trade is deeply interested in seeing to it that no mercantile forgery is allowed to pass unpunished, and that the forger should have no greater chance of escape than the thief or the mur derer. When this crime was punished with death there was some excuse for winking at its commission, as the penalty seemed out of proportion to the offence; but prosecutions for it are now rarely foregone from humanitarian motives. The reason that the forger is not prosecuted now a days usually is that the person echo ought to prosecute finds it to his individual pecuniary advantage to hold his tongue. We believe that all persons who have to do with nego tiable instruments, either as bankers or merchants, owe it to themselves and their fellows to guoll their purity with the utmost vigilance. It is only fair to the courts of law to say that the forgery of such instruments is always regarded as a higher crime and is visited with a heavier puni.elem ent than other classes of forgery, as being a corruption of the functions of credit at their very source. It is 'n vain, how ever, for judges to disclaim against the heino s CB", of the crime if it is not regarded with at least equal ebhor •en ley those whose interests it directly effects, aed fec merely selfish motives they decline to .eut the criminal law in motion against it. And - eereantile men cueht to visit with the severest reprobat'on net merely the actual forgers and utterers, but those v. ho knowingly stand by and see the offence com.n'ttef., and yet make no effort whatever to punish it, either trete 1. ve of their own ease or tenderness for their own pockets. ef course a man who actually compounds - felony' - •y receiving the value of a forged bill as a conside - ation for foregoing a prosecutions brings himself with:n 1..3 za:,-11 of the criminal law. Such an offence, however, is difficult of proof; and there are many stages short of it which although not punishable by la\ - .71.;1it to be severely dealt with by public opinion, and ou ht to op - -ate as an ireeeediate loss of standing and re put • - 7 the mercantile erorld. Seeing a thief and being part; • N :th him does not seem to be a more grievous offence. r 1 is certainly less injurious to the community thee. th refraining from any motive whatever from the prosecution a a terger of bills.—leeds Illeroury. litrZ:e of Colliers.

It was repeated that the masters were quite able to give the rise, and that they were only contending for the subjection of the men. Central points in the district were announced, at which bands of men were to meet on the morrow (this) morning, to beat the drums at half-past four in the morning, to "draw out the black- legs." The Uhairman announced that pecuniary help and expres sions of sympathy had bee ceived from the W../ . - ngham branch of the Amalgamat . ;Ineers, whose . =tary had also been instructed by L _Age to write to the general secre tary with a view to a grant from the general fund. The Birmingham Lodge had also formed itself into a committee to procure help from other sources. At the close of the meeting, a resolution was unanimously come to that the strike should be continued till the masters gave them " their wages." The eighty Lancers, who are in barracks in Birmingham, have for some time been kept " saddled-up," ready to ride into the black country at a moment's notice, and a number of the volunteers have been kept under arms in Bingley Hall ready for any emergency to which the colliers' strike might give rise in Birmingham, where there is a strong sympathy with the colliers amongst all classes,and where a rumour had got afloat that the colliers intended to march into the town in vast numbers with anything but a peace able intention. Yesterday the leaders of the movement received an official communication, from the Mayor of Birmingham, in answer to a forniv.l application which the colliers had made to his worship desiring permlesion to hold a mating in the out skirts of the town, and in which his worship states his rea son for refusing to comply with such application. During the whole of the strike the Earl of Dudley has had one of his collieries (Hirnley Collier) at work by men who had accepted the reduced wages; but the workmen have been subjected to much taunting and intimidation. Yesterday the cottage of one of these workmen, named Jos. Roberts, who lives at Gornal Wood, was partially destroyed, and his own life, and that also of all his familly, attempted by one of dime dastardly trade outrages which are un happily so notorious in workmen's disputes in Sherfield. At an early hour in the morning Roberts, who was sleep ing with his wife and children in the top storey' of his dwelling, was aroused by something like a heavily-loaded can having been thrust through the window of the bed room in which they were all lying, and almost imme diately afterwards a terrible explosion happened, which blew off the roof of the home. Assistance was soon forth coming, when it was found all the sleepers had experienced aßrovidential escape. They were all uninjured. This is the first colliers' strike during which this class of outrage has been committed in this district; but the one of yester day is the third crime of the kind which has been com mitted he;e during the present movement. No detection has yet taken place in either instance, but the police autho rities are making every effort to secure the arrest of the offenders. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. SPAIN.
