THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILIT ARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert, screw, 121 guns, Captain Sir Charles Pulley, is lying at the fair-way moorings, Sheerness. We are sorry to have to report a sad accident that happened on Wednesday morning on board to Frederick Bell, second class ordinary. It appears he fell from one of the fishes being taken in, and has broken one, if net both, his legs ; and from what we can learn, it is doubtful whether the poor fellow will get over it. Every assistance was imme diately given him, and, by Admiral Gordon's orders, sent in his own steamer, the Wildfire, to Chatham Hospital. The Hannibal, screw, 91, Hon. Captain Grey, is lying at the same moorings abreast of the dockyard. We hear this ship is to leave here (Sheerness) this day or to-morrow, , for Portsmouth. She has taken in all her water and pro ' vision, and coals, and yesterday the powder-lighter was alongside, and she has got her topgallantmasts on end, which adds strength to the report as to her sailing to-day or to-morrow. Her machinery is completed, and there is nothing to detain her that we can hear of. If she does not go, probably she will take a run out to try her engines. The Valorous, paddle, Captain Buckle, is still in the basin, her rigging is rattled down, topgallantmasts on end, and her paddles got the new floats en, &c. She will be ready, we hear, by the 9th, which is the appointed time ; previous to that she msy go into the river. Cambrian, 36, having undergone a thorough repair, will be put out of dock at Portsmouth this day. Daedalus, 20, has been brought alongside Portsmouth dockyard to be prepared for commission. Tortoise, lighter, Russell, master, returned to 'this port from Falmouth on Monday. Wizard, 6, tender to the flag-ship at Cork, having had her defects made good, went out of Portsmouth harbour and sailed from that port for Queenstown on Tuesday. Horatio, screw, is in the basin, Sheerness; her rigging is being overhauled. Janis, paddle, has broken down again. Lizard, paddle, waiting orders at Sheerness. MORE SCREW LINERS. - - Hastings, 72, and Pembroke, 72, it is expected, are to be fitted for the screw-propeller. One has, at all events, been brought down, and is alongside the jetty, Portsmouth, and the other is to be brought down this day; their engines and machinery to be of the high pressure principle. These ships are of light draught of water, and will make service able block ships. Cornwallis, 70, has been brought alongside the jetty at Devonport, preparatory to being taken into dock on Fri day, to be prepared as a floating battery for that port. She is to be fitted with a screw propeller, and to have engines of 200-horse power. The men employed on her are to work extra hours, it being desired to expedite her with all possible despatch. The line-of-battle ships Russell and Hawke are shortly expected to be towed to Sheerness, as orders have been received from the Admiralty, without delay, to get these two sailing ships converted into screw-liners. We under stand the false keels and poops are to be taken off, in order to make them draw as little water as possible. Remov ing the above will make a difference of one foot in their draught, and will be considered a sort of floating battery, to be finished for the engines by January, and for sea ser vice by March, when, no doubt, they are intended for the taking of Cronstadt next summer. So much, however, for report. TRIAL OF THE MALACCA. Malacca, 17, screw, Captain Farquhar, went out of Portsmouth harbour on Tuesday. She took several turns at the measured mile, and realised an average speed of 9 knots 2 per hour, making SO revolutions, and working up to steam pressure of about 60. It must be borne in mind that this is a high pressure engine, and is now in a most satisfactory condition ; her propelling shaft has been righted and all difficulties got over. She is, what we before stated, the first of her class, and will take her pos 4 . tion as a steam screw corvette second to none in the world, and at a vast saving of expense. THE GUARDS ORDERED TO THE CRIMEA. Yesterday orders were read out to the Grenadier Guards, as also to the Coldstreams and Fusiliers, to hold themselves ready to reinforce the service companies of their regiments now in the Crimea. It is spoken of as extremely probable that the Ist Battalion of Grenadier Guards will have its strength increased from the 2d Battalion to 1,000 bayonets, and proceed forthwith to the Crimea. APPOINTMENTS. Master William Francis Greet (1854) has been appointed t'o the Valcrrons, 16, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, at Sheer fleas. Clerks William J. Stevens (1819), to the Royal William, 120, gnardship of ordinary at Devonport ; Charles Fisher (1850), to the Ajax, 60, screw steam-ship in the Baltic. RUSSIAN PRIZES. Yesterday the Russian prize Dwina, taken by her Ma jesty's steamer Miranda at Litscha Fiord, in the White Sea, and the Niverdahl, prize to the Conflict and Cruiser, were taken into the West India Docks to be condemned by the Court of Admiralty, and sold for the benefit of their captors. The Hanoverian galliot Reinhard, of Papenbnrg, Eve rard Bolwin late master and part owner, arrived at Sheer ness, from Memel, prize to the Conflict. The master reports that his vessel was chartered at London for Memel or Cronstadt, and he was to apply to the first English man. of-war he met to ascertain what ports were blockaded. He was taken on the 2d of July last between Memel and Leban, distant about 14 miles English. She left Meme. on the 15th of August last, and called at Frederickshaven and Christiansand for supplies. Mr. Mason, Second Mas ter of the Conflict, came home as prize master. The effects of the late Captain Foote are brought home by her in charge of Mr. Joseph Bastion. She proceeded for London. ROYAL MARINES. An order has been promulgated to the authorities at Sheerness permitting the Royal Marines and Marine Artil tillery to cultivate the moustache, under the same regula tions as the army. DEPARTURE OF RUSSIAN PRISONERS. A hired steam transport arrived at Sheerness yesterday at I'ls p.m. ; the Russian prisoners and officers were put on board from the Devonshire, and she left at 3.30 p.m. for Plymouth. THE ARMS CAPTURED AT BOMARSUND. Yesterday nearly 2,000 stand of arms, taken from the Russians at the capture of Bomarsund, were landed at the Tower and deposited in the armoury stores. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The Phoenix screw steam-sloop, Captain Edward A. Inglefield, has been taken alongside the wharf wall at Woolwich to discharge the stores, upwards of 12 months' provisions, &c., which she conveyed to Beechey Island and brought back without discharging them in the Arctic regions. Orders were received yesterday to have her stripped preparatory to being paid off at Woolwich, which will occupy about 10 days, as she has still a comparatively full cargo on board. During her late voyage she struck on a sandbank, and separated her entire false keel from her bottom, but did not injure any other part of her so far as could be ascertained without having her ia dock for a more minute inspection. She would not have been home so soon had it not been for the discovery of the coal mine by Capt. Inglefield on the Waygat side of the Island of Disco, from which 80 tons of coals were taken on board, free of expense, which enabled her to steam to Cork. The coals appear to have a close resemblauce to Cannel coal, the best description for extracting gas, and they leave very little residue when burnt. Two casks of the coals have been re served as specimens of the_ coals of the Arctic Regions. The quantity exposed on the surface of the sea shore is most abundant, and easily obtained, but the sailors were much annoyed and stung by gnats. THE IRISH MILITIA. It is stated that the several regiments of Irish Militia that are to be enrolled for service, and the number for each county, will be announced in an early number of the Dub lin Gazette. Whatever difficulties there ma y be found i n procuring men t o serve as privates, there will be no lack of candidates for th e ' commission ; an d c ounty lieutenants will no doubt have plenty of work to do, if th e y ima g ine that they can satisfy all the parties likely to put in claims for a share of the patronage at their disposal. It is understood that the several militia officers through out the county of Mayo have received notification of th eir services being called into immediat e requisition. It is stated that both the North and South Mayo Regiments will be called into active service, and already have Colonel Gore and Colonel Knot repaired to Dublin• to receive the necessary preliminary instructions. The first division of the Cambridgeshire Militia, con sisting of about 320 men, arrived in Dublin on Wednesday from Liverpool. The second division, of about the same strength, was to arrive the next day. The regiment dur ing its stay in Dublin will be quartered in the Palatine square Royal Barracks. THE SCOTCH MILITIA. We understand that the Home Secretary, Lord Palmer ston, has addressed a circular to the Lords-Lieutenant of counties in Scotland, calling their attention to the Militia Act of last session. His lordship directs that measures be immediately taken for the embodiment of the militia of the various counties by voluntary enlistment. The militia for the counties of Inverness, Banff, Moray, and Nairn will, as formerly, be embodied in ono regiment, the head-quar ters being at Inverness. The number of men to be raised in Scotland is 10,000, of whom about 700 will be required from the 4 counties named. Of this number Inverness sill famish about one-half, Banff about a fourth, the re maining fourth being contributed by Elgin and Nairn. — Banffshire Journal. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING.; OCTOBER 5, 1854. THE ALLEGED ILL-TREATMENT OF A FEMALE ON BOARD THE DAUNTLESS. I CONCLUSION OF THE CASE AND ACQUITTAL OF THE PRISONERS. PORTSMOUTH, Oct. 4.—The borough bench of magi strates met again this morning to resume the hearing in the case of the charge of manslaughter against Lieut. Knight, Royal Marines, and Lieut. Seymour, Royal Marines, for the death of Matilda Jane Lodge. The excitement of the public mind was in no ways abated, it being indeed dangerous for the accused to appear un protected in the public streets. As a most remarkable instance of the intensity of the popular feeling against them, it may be stated that the floor of the court at that part where the accused take their places was found this morning to have a large gallows chalked out upon it. It is impossible to ascertain who was the perpetrator of this abominable insult. Even one of the witnesses, Emma White, the friend of the deceased, and who accompanied her on board the ship, had to fly to the police last night for protection, from the circumstance, we suppose, of some of the other witnesses having accused her of having kept back a portion of the con fession made by the deceased as to the treatment she received on board the ship. The proceedings commenced to-day by an address to the bench from Mr. Parry, in which, in a powerful speech of two hours' duration, he reviewed the whole facts that had been adduced in evidence, and their bearing on the guilt or innocence of his client (Lieutenant Knight). Mr. Parry referred at length to the powerful and extra ordinary prejudice that had sprung up in the public mind on this subject, and which, based on such slender grounds, was perhaps unparalleled in its character. This prejudice and the calumny that had accompanied it was fearful in its intensity, and rendered it almost a matter of impossibility for the acccused to bear up against-it, or for any professional man to attempt to establish their innocence. The powerful voice of the public press had also increased to a boundless extent this excitement and prejudice ; but, difficult as was his duty, he (Mr. Parry) pledged himself to prove to demonstration that there was not an iota of legitimate evidence on which the accused could be found guilty of this grave and serious charge. Mr. Parry then, in a masterly and eloquent speech, went through the evidence, and in conclusion he gave it as his firm opinion that rupture of the bladder was the cause of death, whilst there could be no doubt this rupture was caused by deceased's falls from the bed. Mr. Hoskins then addressed the bench for the accused Lieutenant Seymour, who be showed was only on board the Victorious hulk as a guest of Dr. Heath, the sur geon of the ship, who left the gun-room at about half past 12 o'clock, before deceased had become ill, and who passed half an hour on deck with the chaplain of the ship (who . was compelled to walk the deck for some hours in consequence of the women being below), and who then immediately went to his own ship, the Colossus. The bench then retired for the consideration of their decision, and on their return, after an absence of about half an hour, The Mayor said—We have now arrived at the close of this very important and sad inquiry, and the bench has endeavoured to give their best attention to it, and to facilitate in every way the objects had in view by both sides, in order that all facts that could should be brought nut, not only for our own satisfaction, but also for that of the public mind, which has been greatly aroused, and not improperly aroused, in reference to this case. The first investigation into this case was made by a coroner's inquest, and the verdict returnedat that inquest, instead of satisfying, only still more excited the public mind, for instead of disposing of the matter the verdict called on the authorities to give their attention to the facts that had been elicited at that inquest. The magistrates of this borough thought it their duty to pay attention to this recommendation, and they engaged the able assist ance of the local police in the inquiry. The bench had done all they could to arrive at the facts, and had given those that had been adduced before them their fullest attention ; whilst they had also with patience listened to the advocates on both sides, in crier that everything that could be done in furtherance of the ends of justice should be done. Having done so the bench had to arrive at its decision, and in doing so would first take the case of Lieutenant John Busteed Seymour. From the facts deposed to before the bench, it appeared that the unfortunate girl, Matilda Jane Lodge, with another girl, Emma White, met the defendant, Lieutenant Frederick Knight, in High-street, at about half that nine on Sunday night, the 17th of September ; that they were entertained by him at two separate places with spirits and water ; and that they then got into a boat, with the avowed intention of cross ing over to Gosport, but they were induced by Mr. Knight to go on board the Victorious, the hulk to the Dauntless, to which Mr. Knight belonged. The females there met with Mr. Seymour, and they were entertained with wines and spirits in Mr. Knight's cabin, where they had been taken by Mr. Knight himself. They afterwards left the cabin, and went into the gun-room to -the officers, and up to this time it does not appear that deceased had received any injuries whatever. Shortly afterwards Emma White left the ship by the advice of Mr. Sey mour, to whom she appears to have been previously known. After her leaving, Mr. Seymour by the evi dence walked on deck with the chaplain of the Daunt less, who had very properly retired from the gun-room when he found women were coming there. Mr. Sey mour appeared to have walked the deck with the chap lain for at least half an hour after Emma White left, and he only returned to the gun-room to bid the officers good night. We, therefore, think that there is no evi dence against him to show that he used any violence towards deceased, or that he was even chargeable with forcing drink upon her. He left the ship at half-past one o'clock, and up to that time no vio lence certainly seems to have been done to deceased. Up to the time of his leaving the ship to go to his own ship his conduct and time seems accounted for and the bench can do no other but dismiss him from this charge, and say that so far as they can see, he left the court without any proof of his being accessory to any ill-treatment this unfortunate girl might have received. The bench has to recollect that Mr. Seymour did not belong to the Dauntless but to the Colossus, that he was only a guest on board the hulk of the first named, and that he could exercise no authority whatever on the occa sion, either in reference to the admission of the women or the giving them an undue amount of drink. We there fore dismiss the charge against him. We then come to the case against Mr. Knight. After the women had been taken on board by Lieutenant Knight, the girl Emma White as she was entering the gun-room saw Mr. Seymour, and apparently wishing not to be seen by him ran back on deck, and deceased followed her, and most fortunate would it have been for her had they both then left the ship together. But unhappily they returned to the gun-room, and went through into Mr. Knight's cabin, where ho unfortunately and unwisely supplied them with drink. They then, after some short time had elapsed, left the cabin and went into the gun room to the officers, who were sitting round the table, and here the deceased sang songs and recited pieces from Shakspere, and otherwise displayed great excitement of manner, being, as the learned counsel had well de scribed, in a state of incipient intoxication. This ap apears to have occurred after the hour of 12 o'clock, and up to the hour of half-past one no violence seems to have been inflicted on deceased. The evidence of Dr. Heath, the doctor of the ship, appears conclusive that the rupture of the bladder had not taken place up to this time. Deceased, however, about this time fainted and was carried into Mr. Knight's cabin, where she was visited by Dr. Roche, the assistant-surgeon, and several officers. Dr. Roche, at this time, said that whilst she was lying down her breathing was free and regular. Up to this time there is no evidence of any injury be ing done to her, with the exception of the giving her an undue amount of drink. Deceased appears to have laid on Mr. Knight's bed till half-past two, but by that time Mr. Seymour had left. The chaplain, Dr. Roche, and the other officers bad left and retired to their cabins. Lieut. Jervis had gone to bed early, from illness, and no one was in the gun room but Mr. Kinght. At this time Lieut. Jervis heard a knocking at the bulkheads that di vide his cabin from Mr. Knight's, and in which deceased was ; it aroused him from his sleep, and be got up and went into the cabin, and found the deceased apparently very ill. He gave her some relief by moistening her lips with a little brandy and water, but he afterwards found that he was wrong, and that she was suffering from in toxication. He returned to his cabin, but was again aroused by hearing some one falling from the bed to the floor. He went back to the cabin, and having got her on the bed again he sat down in the cabin fur half an hour reading a book. His evidence, which shows she had two falls, brings us to half-past three o'clock in the morning, up to which time it seems clear that no violence had been perpetrated. Deceased certainly stated that some injuries had been inflicted on her, but she also said that there was a quarrel between some of the officers, in which she was concerned. But all the evidence went to show that no quarrel whatever, or even misunderstanding, occurred between any of the officers, and we can only therefore believe that she thought, in her half-dreamy half-conscious state, that something had occurred, but of which the bench had received no proof whatever. Up to half-past three we have therefore the testimony of several officers and others that she had received no injuries other than those re sulting from her two falls from the bed. From half-past three we have only th e ev id ence of the steward of the vessel (Carr), and Mr. K n i g ht was t h en st ill sleeping on the table, certainly t a ki ng li tt l e h ee d and little pcarge of deceased, and he only further interested himself about her, by giving an order for her to be taken out of the ship. There was the evidence of the men as to how she as lifted from Mr, Knight's bed at a quarter past tour in the morning, and of the watermen who brought her on shore, and who seems to have treated her very kindly, and there was, lastly, the testimony of the police con stables from the dockyard. Now, the charge against Mr. Knight is one of manslaughter, and that charge must have a certain amount of evidence for a jury to convict a person guilty of it, and it should have a cer tain amount of evidence to warrant a bench of magis trates in committing upon it. But the only violence that has been proved to have been inflicted on deceased was that arising from her fallin g from the bed, and this, according to the testimony of the medical men, might produce rupture of the bladder. Therefore, however wrongly Mr. Knight has acted in taking this unfortu nate girl on board, in plying her with intoxicating drinks, paying her so little attention whilst in a state of suffering, and merely directing her to be put in a boat, and sending her on shore without saying where she was to be taken to—he being the man who had taken her on board, and got her into her danger and difficulty—and, indeed, there being the display of none of those feelings which are always expected from a roan towards a helpless woman —notwithstanding all this, the bench still feels—and I am gl a d t o moue—that, however much we say we are unani may rebrobate his con duct, we cannot find sufficient evid ence to sen d hi m f or j trial by a ury. We, therefore, difuniaa the ease as re- out of prison after undergoing a term of six months' im prisonment:for a previous assault on his wife. Mr. Edwin asked if the constable thought the prose• cutrix would be so far recovered as to attend next week and prosecute the case against the defendant The constable thought she would. Mr. Seeker remanded the prisoner for a week. LAMBETH.—Edward John Brown and Charles Haine, two well-dressed youths, of about 15 years of age, whose parents are respectable, were brought up in custody by Adam Saunders, one of the summoning officers belonging to the court, on a warrant, and charged before Mr. Elliott with causing injuries to the person of Martha Elizabeth Gibbs of so frightfully se rious a nature that her life is placed in the most immi nent danger. Mrs. Gibbs, the mother of the poor sufferer, deposed that on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 26th of last month she sent her daughter, Martha Eliza Gibbs, who is be tween 6 and 7 years of age, to bring a little boy from school, and in a short time after she saw her, and she then presented a shocking spectacle. The whole of her clothes, particularly those in front, were completely burnt, and her chest, arms, and face presented one mass of burns. She was taken to the Westminster Hospital where her injuries were dressed, and she was brought home again, and had been since attended by Mr. John son, a surgeon in the York-road. Adara Saunders said that, by desire of his worship, he, en the preceding evening, proceeded to make in quiries respecting the boys who had caused the mischief to the child, and traced it to the prisoners. He ques tioned them on the subject, and they said they had picked up some stone brimstone along the water side, and they were afterwards playing with it by lighting it on a stick, and that while Brown held the stick over his' shoulder, some of the burning stuff fell on the child, and set her clothes on fire. There bad been from thirty to forty boys present when the occurrence took place, but he (Saunders) had not yet been able to find any one who witnessed-the occurrence. On that day he (Saun ders) had seen the poor sufferer in the presence of Mr. Johnson, the medical gentleman who was attending her, and a more unpleasant sight he had never witnessed. The whole of the skin of the chest and breast was re moved, and those parts were formed into one large wound of a deep and angry appearance, both her hands and arms were burnt in a shocking manner, as was also her face, and, so far as he could judge of her case, he very much doubted indeed whether it was possible for her to recover. She was, however, perfectly sensible, and on his asking her how it occurred, she said that the boys Brown and Haine followed.her, and that the for mer put a portion of brimstone and matches into her pinafore, and rolled the latter up, so that the brimstone and matches at once took fire. Mr. Johnson gave him (Saunders) a certificate of the then state of the girl, of which the following is a copy :—" I certify that Martha Elizabeth Gibbs is still lying in a precarious state from the injuries she received, and in the event of her ulti mate recovery it will be at least a fortnight before she can be considered to be out of danger.—HENßY JOHN SON, surgeon, 88, York-road, Oct. 4." The prisoners, in their defence, merely said they had not done it intentionally. Mr. Elliott remarked that the charge was one of a serious character, and he felt bound to remand them for a week. The prisoners were accordingly remanded. SECOND _ESCAPE OF THE BURGLAR _RALPH FROM LINCOLN CASTLE. Joseph Ralph, who was convicted at the last Lincoln Assizes of breaking into the Grimsby Bank, and sen tenced to be transported for 20 years, has a second time made his eseape from the county prison. He is the man who effected an egress from the same prison in an ingenious manner on the night of the 27th of July last. He was taken on board the Hesslo and Barton steamer, after a nicst determined resistance, having seriously. stabbed his captor. When brought to Lincoln he was put in irons, and the utmost vigilance was used. However, early on the morning of Tuesday it was dis covered that Ralph had again outwitted his gaolers by the most ingenious methods. It appears that there are two keys to the cell in which he was confined, one kept by the turnkey and the other by the chaplain of the prison. The chaplain, when visiting the prisoners, fre quently placed his key on the bench. Ralph ob served this, and made a drawing of it. A small gas light burnt in the cell, which was also furnished ' with a pewter mug, out of which the prisoner drank. From masticated bread he made a model, and melted the pewter mug into it. This formed the key. The door of the cell had e. wicket about the cen tre within reach of the lock outside. This small wicket closed with a spring. The night before Ralph inter cepted the spring, so that it was left ready for him to introduce the key he had made into the lock, to which there was only a key-hole on the outer side. This he did successfully, proceeded to the kitchen, stole some cloth ing beloAging to the cook, passed some iron gates, drew the bolt and shot the lock of the principal entrance, and reached the Castle-yard. This is enclosed by a mound and high wall, but although he wag ironed he managed to get into a small building and obtained a ladder, by which he get on the Castle-wall. On his escape becom ing known, the greatest excitement prevailed through out the cityi Since his former feat the magistrates have remarked on the strict surveillance under which he was kept, and Mr. L. P. Fytch reminded the prisoner only a day or two since that " they had him safe ;" to which Ralph rejoined that he didn't know that. Capt. Nichol son, the governor of the Castle, is away from Lincoln. The police were immediately sent to all parts of the county in pursuit, but up to the present time Ralph has eluded the utmost efforts to discover his where abouts. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Seymour leaves the court without an imputation of being accessory to this poor girl's death, or to her being on hoard the ship ; with regard to Mr. Knight, we cannot but express our opi nion of the reprehensible conduct of which he was clearly guilty. We now trust that having gone so fully into the case that our decision will be regarded as settling the question, and that the public mind will be appeased, and be satisfied that justice has been done. The decision was received with partial disapprobation. The proceedings then closed, so far as the civil power is concerned, but a court-martial is yet to follow, as Lieut. Knight has called for one on himself, whilst one has also, we believe, been recommended by a naval court of inquiry deputed to consider the subject. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Messrs. henry Wright and Robert Bateman, charged with having attempted to de fraud the Commercial Credit Mutual Assurance Society, appeared before the Lord Mayor for further examination. Mr. Lawrence, instructed by Messrs. Ashurst, Waller, and Morris, appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Lewis for the defence. The court was densely crowded. The following is the additional evidence : Mr. James A. Blackwell, clerk to the Commercial Credit Mutual Assurance Society, in Threadneedle-street, said—l received the claim produced on the 13th July last. Ido not know how the claim came to me. I re ceived it in the usual manner, with others, from one of the clerks in the office, and as part of my duty. Mr. R. J. Harvey, banker at Norwich, said—l have two partners. I produce a policy of assurance effected by the defendants, which was deposited with us. I re ceived it from Mr. Bateman. That is my impression. He delivered it to me on account of the firm of Wright and Bateman. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—After receiving the policy, I wrote to the society and received from them two letters, which I produce. I was lar g ely discounting for the two defendants. We should not have discounted unless the policy had been lodged. We also discounted for Fawcett and Parrett, the two witnesses who were examined on the first day. We were holders of the bills the subject of the claim subsequently made. The de fendents sent us bills from time to time to discount, and we sent two lists of those bills to the society. One of the bills of Fawcett and Parrett was dishonoured. After that Wright came to me, and I made inquiries of him as to the nature of the bills, and respecting the bill of Fawcett and Parrett. I had a conversation with Wright. It was immediately after the bill became due. I had a notice of the dishonour of the bill sent to the society. After that I cannot say whether I required Wright to make a claim in respect of that amount upon the society. We sent the bill to the society, and that was all we had to do. I asked Wright whether it was an accommodation or a trade transaction, and he told me it was a bona fide bill, not an accommodation but a trade bill. I did not, to my recollection, ask him for the particulars of the transaction far my clerk to make oat a claim. If I had known it was an accommo dation bill I should not have discounted any more. I directed my clerk to ascertain the nature of the transac tion with regard to the bill, to see if it was a trade transaction. . . Ite-examined—Fawcett and Parrett at that time were in difficulties, and I had some doubt as to the transac tion. I was quite aware of the nature of the policy, and I was aware that advances upon accommodation bills were not available under the policy. Mr. A. Harrison—l was in the employment of the defendants as clerk, and live at 35, Goldsmith-place, Hackney-road. I wrote the letter produced, dated 12th Sept., and also the other letter produced. I was their clerk for three years, and they were absent when I wrote the letters. The last time I saw them, before I wrote the letters, I was aware the claim had been with drawn. I knew it from Mr. Wright, who I knew had written to withdraw it. I had no authority from them to write these letters. In their absence I did act for them. I knew the claim had gone in to the society from our books. I had no conversation► with them upon the subject. By the Lord Mayor—l have no doubt that I com municated to the defendants, that I wrote those letters. I kept no copy of them. I told them the substance of those letters, and I believe they approved of what I did. The Lord Mayor said it appeared to him from the evidence that the transaction in question had been con ducted by the defendant Wright alone, and that there was no proof before him that Bateman was a party to the attempt to obtain the money from the society, and that, under those circumstances, he would discharge the latter. His lordship then said that he would sent the case against Wright to be decided upon at the Cen• tral Criminal Court, and require that defendant to enter into his own resognisances in 2001., and to procure two sureties in 1001. each, for his appearance in answer to the charge at the Central Criminal Court. WORSHIP-STREET.—SamueI Saunders was brought up on a warrant before Mr. Hammill, charged, in con junction with his wife, Mary Ann Saunders, with a murderous assault upon Martha Vernon, a young wo man in an advanced state of pregnancy. The complainant, who was compelled to be seated while giving her evidence, and exhibited extreme suffer ing and exhaustion, stated that she superintended the business of a general dealer named Ewin, in Wentworth street, Whitechapel, and while attending in the shop on the evening of Saturday last, the male prisoner, who had had some previous altercation with her employer, sud denly presented himself, and assailed her with the coarsest vituperation. Witness requested him to desist, and on intimating that she would give him into custody if he persisted in his offensive conduct, prisoner made a rush at her, and after striking her a violent blow in the face, seized hold of her by the hair of the head and for cibly dragged her from behind the counter to the front of the shop. While she was struggling to extricate her self from him, she was suddenly attacked by the female prisoner, who knocked her down by a heavy blow in the face, and continued beating her about the head and body in such an unmerciful manner that she was rendered in sensible. She was subsequently rescued from further ill-treatment by several persons who had witnessed the outrage, but she had been ever since under medical treatment, and still remained in a state of excruciating pain from the injuries sho had received. George Ewin, the owner of the shop, fully confirmed the evidence of the last witness, and added that, upon his interfering for her protection, the male prisoner ca ught up a heavy chair, with which he felled him to the ground, and cut open his head, as it now appeared. A medical certificate was handed to the magistrate, which stated that the complainant was suffering from numerous severe contusions on different parts of her per son, accompanied with internal injuries, which would probably be productive of very serious results, as she was six months advanced in pregnancy. The prisoners were remanded. MARLBOROUGET.STREET.—Mrs. Hannah, lieb beck was brought before Mr. Bingham on a warrant, having been locked up in the station-house all night, charged with assaulting and beating her husband, Arthur Rebbeck, landlord of the \Vheatsheaf, Oxford street. • _ _ The disparity in size of the parties was remarkable, the wife being a little woman, the husband a big man of great bodily strength. The complainant said his wife had been out for a drive in the chaise on Monday evening, and when she came home he told her he would not let her drive out much oftener, as he intended to sell the pony. His wife called him a good-for-nothing wretch. He said he could not afford to keep the pony, neither could he afford to keep his wife and child. His wife then jumped and tore his hair. He called the barmaid and asked her to witness his wife's behaviour. His wife was of a violent temper. This violence had gone on for two or three years, until at last he was afraid to enter his house. The wife, in defonce, said her husba.nd refused to drive her out, and she thought she ought to take a drive with out him. When she came home her husband began quarrelling with her, threatened to sell the chaise, and applied a bad name to her mother. Her husband's pas sion increasing, he called her a vile name, and struck her on the nose, causing the blood to flow. The barmaid, Elizabeth Hicks, said—On Monday night she was called into the bar parlour by Mr. Reb beck, who said to her, " You see, Miss Hicks, I'm afraid ; let me get my hat." Mrs. Rebbeck was some time 4 very irritable. Mr. Rebbeck appeared to be very forbearing. Mrs. Rebbeck askEd this witness if her nose was not bleeding ? The barmaid said it was. Mrs. Rebbeck asked her if she did not recollect that about four months ago her husband blackened both her eyes and broke her nose. The barmaid recollected that those injuries were sus taioed by Mrs. Rebbeck. Mr. Bingham thought this was a case in which a magistrate could not interfere with advantge. He should recommend an appeal to mutual friends. The parties retired, but re-entered the court, and Mr. Duncombe said an arrangement could not be effected. Mr. Bingham thought that a separation would be ad visable ; if so, the defendant ought to have a liberal allowance. The best way to deal with the case was to require each party to find one surety to keep the peace. SOUTHWARK.—John Hyland, a cooper, residing at 25, Parish-street, Horselydown, was brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with violently assaulting his wife, by stabbing her in the abdomen with a knife. Police-constable Tighe, 220 M, deposed that about three o'clock yesterday morning he was on duty at the police-station, Bermondsey, when a person crane and informed him that a man was murdering his wife at 25, Parish-street. Witness at once proceeded to the house, and on entering the passage saw marks of blood on the stairs. He went up-stairs, and in the back attic saw a woman covered with blood, in bed with a little boy. Witness asked her what was the matter, when she re ' plied that her husband, who was in bed on the second floor, had stabbed her with a knife. The bed-clothes were saturated with blood, and on the second floor land ing were evidences of a murderous assault having taken place there. A surgeon was sent for, who dressed her wounds. The following is the surgeon's certificate : " This is to certify that Mrs. Hyland, of 25, Parish street, is suffering from the effects of a punctured wound on the right side of the abdomen, inflicted by a penknife. (Signed) "C. WRITE, Surgeon. Snows-fields." Witness then went into the second floor back room, where he found the prisoner, and after a deal of resist ance t 'ok him into custody. On the way to the station the prisoner threw away a penknife, which was picked up by tiie surgeon. Mr. Edwin (the chief clerk) inquired if the prisoner was known ? The officer said thy prisoner had only recently come) LADIES. HINTS Rose red cannot be put in contact with the rosiest complexions withou', causing them to lose some of their freshness. Dark red is less objectionable for certain complexions than rose red, because, being higher than this latter, it tends to impart whiteness to them in consequence of contrast of tone.—Green Drapery : A delicate green is, on the contrary, favourable to all fair complexions,. which are deficient in rose, and which may have more imparted to them without inconvenience ; but it is not so favourable to complexions that are more red than rosy, nor to those that have a tint of orange mixed with brown, because the red they add to this tint will be of a brick red hue. In the latter case a dark green will be less ob jectionable than a delicate green.— Yellow Drapery : Yellow imparts violet to a fair skin, and in .this view it is less favourable than delicate green. To those skins which are more yellow than orange i4l imparts white ; but this combination is very dull and heavy for a fair complexion. When the skin is tinted more with orange than yellow, we can make it roseate by neutralising the yellow ; it produces this effect upon the black-haired type, and it is thus that it suits bru nettes.—Violet Draperies : Violet, the complementary of yellow, produces contrary effects ; thus, it imparts some greenish yellow to fair complexions ; it augments the yel low tint of yellow and orange skins. The little blue there may be in a complexion it makes green. Violet, then, is one of the least favourable colours to the skin, at least when it is not sufficiently deep to whiten it by con , trast of ton e.—Blue Drapery : Blue imparts orange, which is susceptible of allying itself favourably to white and the light flesh tints of fair complexions, which have , already a more or less determined tint of this colour. Blue is, then, suitable to most blondes, and, in this case, justifies its reputation. It will not suit brunettes, since they have already too much of orange. Orange Drapery : Orange is too brilliant to be elegant ; it makes fair complexions blue, whitens those who have an orange tint, and gives a green hue to those of a yellow tint. White napery : Drapery of a lustre less white, such as cambric muslin, assorts well with a fresh complexion, of which it relieves the rose colour ; but it is unsuitable to complexions which have a disagree able tint, because white always exalts all colours by rais ing their tone ; consequently, it is unsuitable to those skins which, without having this disagreeable tint, very nearly approach it. Very light white draperies, such as muslin, plaited or point lace, have an entirely different aspect.—Black Drapery : Black draperies, lowering the tone of the colours with which they are in juxta position, whiten the skin ; but if the vermillion or rosy parts are to a certain point distant from the drapery, it will follow that, although lowered in tone, they appear relatively to the white parts of the skin contiguous to this same drapery, redder than if the contiguity to the black did not exist.—ChaTeul on Harmony of Colours.

Her Majesty's Steam-vessel Beagle, at Sea, Sept. 18, 1854. Sir,—l beg leave testate that when at Gibraltar I was informed that the Dockyard Mole is in the course of being extended, and that a buoy is placed about a cable's length from the present Mole Head, to point out the extent to which stones are being laid down for that purpose, but as yet no notice has been issued to steam-vessels that may be going to that part for coal, and consequently coming in at night may be attended with risk. I have also to inform you that proceeding along the coast of Algiers I observe a very fine revolving light on Cape Carbon, revolving once a minute, visible at a distance of 25 miles, but which is described on the charts as being a fixed red one, as well as in the " Book of Mediterranean Li , 4-hts," to which a note is appended " That it is to be changed to a light of the first class." As I suppose this has been clone, and the nature of the light altered, I deem it my duty to call your attention to the same. _ _ _ (Signed) P. E. Hong, Lieutenant and Comma,ndir.

Loos TO YOUR GOLD.---Persons cannot be too cau• tious in taking gold coins, as there are some exceedingly good imitation sovereigns and half-soveregns in circula tion, and that, too, by a gang of " smashers" well skilled in the art of chicanery and fraud. Friday an infamous but clever cheat was practised at the shop of Mr. Dinwiddy, confectioner, Peter-street. A well dressed man entered the shop, and having ate sixpenny worth of pastry, he put down a good sovereign in payment and received his change. At this moment, another respectable -looking person entered the shop, and, accost ing the first, familiarly asked him what he had been doing. Upon learning that he had been having some tarts he insisted upon paying for them, and, upon being informed that th e y had alread y been p aid for, he said he was not going to permit that, as it was not likely that he should let a friend come to Bristol to the , christening of his child, and then not be permitted the pleasure of "standing Sam.'' Upon this he took some tarts himself, threw down a shilling in payment, and insisted that his friend's money should be returned to him. The person who was serving at once gave back the sovereign, and the " gentleman" gave her what was believed to be the half-sovereign and 9s. 6d. which he received in change. The friends then left the shop together, and almost immediately upon their leaving it was discovered that the half-sovereign which they had handed back was a bad one, and that the shopkeeper had been cheated of 10s.—Bristol Paper.

Oats, especially middling and in ferior, were 3d to 6cl cheaper. Bero and barley fully sup ported the currencies of Friday last. There was less ani mation than of late in the trade for Indian corn and foreign wheat, but we do not report any alteration in price.
