NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, JAN. 14. The French steamer, due on Jan. 12 from Constanti nople, only arrived late last night, and will leave at 8 a.m. The weather has been very squally, and the shipping has suffered severely; but the accounts are so exaggerated that I scarcely venture to offer a word on the matter. The fleets entered the Euxine on the 4th, not the 2d, as before reported. Her Majesty's steam-ships Sidon and Vesuvius both arrived here on the 10th inst., and after coaling left for Constantinople on the 11th and 12th inst. respectively. The Bishop of Gibraltar arrived here by the Vesuvius, for the winter. The . Wasp screw-frigate, Lord John Hay, arrived here on the 10th inst. from the coast of Syria. The non-arrival of the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's steamer Euxine, which was to have left South ampton on the 29th ult., begins to cause considerable anxiety—the more so as she was known to have a heavy bottom cargo, consisting of some '3O guns on board, for the Ottoman Government. She has not been telegraphed up to post hour. The Ripon, with the outward India mails, due here, or rather expected, yesterday, has not arrived. The Valetta, with the overlan d portion, is expected during the day from Marseilles. The Earl of Carlisle, who arrived here per Wasp, pur poses addressing the membe rs of the Literary and Scien tific Institute this evening. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 22. The Thetis, 40, Captain Kuper, arrived at Spit bead yesterday morning from the Pacific, l as t f rom Ply mouth, after an e i g ht weeks' run from Rio. Her freight was taken out at Spithead and landed at the dockyard by the Drake lighter, whence it was conveyed to the railway terminus for transit to the Bank o f E ng l an d . R ear - Admiral the Hon. Richard Dund as , C . B , one o f th e Lords of the Admiralty, went out to the Thetis in the morn i n g on board the Fire Queen steam yacht, and communicated to the captain that the crew will not he paid off, but only paid down. Each man will be allowed „i x weeks leave of absence, and a steamer will take him to and bring him back from the port he wishes to land and embark at. He will not necessarily be re-entered in the Thetis, but will be disposed of where his services are most needed. Should the men not answer to their muster call on the day they should be on board they will be amenable to the articles of war and liable to lose all pay, servitude, and ratings, besides being punishable as deserters. The Vulcan iron troop-ship, Commander Von Donop, returned to Spithead yesterday morning. It is reported she is to be paid off and recommissioned immediately by a new commander. She came into harbour. _ _ The Blenheim, 60, screw, Capt. the Hon. F. T. Pel ham, is still in dock ; some portion of her timbers have been found unsound ; a new step to the foremost has been completed, the former one having decayed ; a new mainyard is also in hand for her. The Gladiator, 6, paddle frigate, Mr. John Glasson, chief engineer in charge, is in rapid progress of rigging by a party of men from the Blenheim, under Lieutenant Chambers. She has sent topmasts up. We believe Rear-Admiral Sir James Stirling, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the India and China squadron, has selected Lieutenant J. M. Bruce, at present serving in the Inflexible, as his Flag Lieu tenant. The Apollo store-ship, Commander Johnson, full of stores for the Black Sea fleets, was towed out of harbour to Spithead yesterday, and sailed this morning for her destination. The Diligence naval transport was towed to Spit head last evening, and sailed this morning for Ireland. She has only ballast on board, which, we believe, she will discharge at Queenstown, and take in provisions for the navy. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 21. Considerable insubordination prevails among the ar tisans and labourers in the Devonport dockyard, caused, in the first place, by the high price of provisions. For some days past placards have been posted on the walls in Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehouse, announcing that Mr. Charles Mare required the services of 100 shipwrights, to whom constant employment was gua ranteed for three years at 6s. per day. On Thursday a meeting was held at the Temperance Hall, Devonport, to hear the explanation of a deputation from Blackwall in reference to a recent decision of Mr. Mare not to allow the men to carry away the "chips." It was stated that deals, ribbons six inches thick by 20 feet long, and mahogany window sashes had been cut up and carried away as "chips." is. per week had been offered in compensation, but the men demanded, some 2s. and others 3s. The rate of wages paid ranged from Cs. to 6s. 6d. and 7s. The next day (Friday) 27 ship wrights gave up their employ in the Royal Arsenal in order to go to Blackwall. They placed their tools in a cart, on which was exhibited the flag of their new employer, and marched in procession to the stores. The flag wos, however, removed on the way by one of the dockyard police. At the pay-office they kept their hats on and conducted themselves indecorously. Eighteen more of the shipwrights leave next week, and others are expected to follow. These men average from 25 to 40 years of age. They have been from 2to 14 years in the service, and mo't of them were educated in the Government schools. Their pay is 4s. per day ; they work under cover two-thirds of their time. When in jured the Naval Hospital receives them, and they get half-pay. The retiring allowance averages 221. per an num, when unfit for the Government service. The Algiers, 90, screw steam-ship, will be launched from the Devonport dockyard on Thursday next, the 2Gth inst., at 4 o'clock. The public will be admitted at 2 o'clock. The directors of the South Devon Railway have announced their intention to attach third-class carriages to the up mail train, which leaves the Ply mouth station at 6.25 p.m. on Thursday. The Algiers was designed by the Committee of Reference, Somerset house, and is of the following dimensions :—Length be tween the perpendiculars, 219 ft. Bin. ; length for ton nage, 179 ft. 6in. ; breadth, extreme, 60ft. ; breadth for tonnage, 50ft. tin. ; breadth moulded, 58ft. 4in. ; depth in hold, 24ft. Bin. ; burden in tons, 3,340 old measure ment, 2,870 new measurement. PEMBROKE DOCKYARD, JAN. 21. The arrangements for the construction of Her Ma jesty's new steam-yacht at this yard are fast progressing. The slip on which the great Duke of Wellington was built has been prepared for the purpose, and, as it was not long enough for the yacht, it has been lengthened temporarily some 30 feet. The shed, likewise, is to be made to cover her. It has been decided that she shall be made of mahogany, and large stores have been pro vided for the purpose. The Rhadamanthus, Master Commander John Belem, brings round from the eastern ports a large quantity of converted timber. She is to be built upon the diagonal planking system, and will be named the Windsor Castle. As soon as possible, a great portion of the dockyard strength will be placed upon her, so as to expedite her construction as much as pos sible before the summer. Her lines, it is said, promise both speed and beauty ; the following are her principal dimensions : Length over all 315 Feet. Length of keel Breadth of beam 4O „ Depth of hold 22 " Her estimated tonnage is 2,340, and she is to be fitted with paddlewheels. Her engines are to be from the firm of Penn and Co. upon their new oscillating principle, and they will realise from 26 to 28 revolutions, which will produce a speed of 15 knots, or about 17 statute miles per hour. The cylinder has a diameter of 84 inches, with a piston stroke of 7 feet, and the diameter of the paddlewheel will be 30 feet. A large amount of horse power to tonnage is expected to be given, in order to secure the high rate of speed calculated upon. WOOLWICH, JAN. 2 APPOINTMENTS. isd.the Captain John Robb (1841), whe diator paddlewheel steam-vessel station, is appointed to command 4,i.e 1.0, screw steam-ship, of 400 horse power, at Portsmouth.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—John, Seal, a labouring man, was brought before the Lord Mayor upon suspicion of being concerned in the robbery of five fifty-dollar pieces and thirty nuggets of gold, worth 1501., the property of Henry Brown. From the statement of the complainant it appeared that he only returned from the diggings on Thursday last, and that he hired the prisoner, whom he accident ally met near the General Post-office on that day, to show him about town. He (the complainant) went into a house to light a cigar, and when he returned into the s treet he could not find the prisoner, who was subse sequently apprehended by a police-constable. In answer to a question by the Lord Mayor, the com plainant admitted that he had been taking a glass, but denied that he was intoxicated. He did not know where he lost his money, but recollected that six or eight men were collected together at some house at which he and the prisoner had called. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said that he and the complainant had been drinking rather freely on the day in question. The Lord Mayor remanded the case till Tuesday, ad mitting the prisoner to bail on his own recognizances. BOW-STREET.—TFIE JEWEL ROBBERY.—The pri soners in this case, James Boyd, Edward Symes, and Joseph Floyd, were brought up before Mr. Henry for final examination. Susan Kelly, an unfortunate female, was called to con firm the evidence of Elizabeth Pullen, who was drinking with her and Symes, at the Crown public-house, in Crown•court, Fleet-street, on the night when Pullen re ceived two gold rings from Symes, and showed them to her afterwards ; and the landlady of the house (Mrs Tay lor) also deposed that she remembered seeing the two women and Symes in company together, at her place on the night in question. William Baker, a lad employed by Floyd, at 43, Woburn-mews, deposed to having seen Boyd and Symes at the mews, inquiring for his master repeatedly. Police constable F 126 said that he remembered seeing a cart standing near the Lowther Arcade on the day of the robbery, and Floyd walking about near it. He re ported the fact the same night at the police station. The prisoner Boyd—That it false, for Symes and Floyd came together in a cab, and took the property out of my brougham. Mr. Parry objected to this statement being placed upon the depositions, because the prisoner, who was evi dently an ignorant man, had not received the usual caution. Mr. Henry—The statement was a running commen tary upon the evidence, and must be taken down. He will be cautioned at the proper time. The evidence as to the connexion existing between the prisoners was strengthened by a watchman named Gat ton ; by. Sergeant Hayes, to whom Symes admitted, when apprehended, that he had lent a great coat to Boyd ; and by Inspector Mackenzie, of the F division, who was at the station when Floyd was brought there upon the present charge. Mr. Henry then asked the prisoner Boyd if he wished to make a statement, at the same time cautioning him that it would be taken down. Boyd—Yes, I do. It began by Symes coming to me at the stables and examining inside my master's brougham, after master had been out with it, to see if anything was left there. One night there was a parcel containing several chains. Symes says to me, "Here's a up." I said I must take them back. He said, "Don't you be a young fool ; they'll never be missed." He took them away with him, and I went with him. We went to Floyd and showed him the chains, and asked him if it was gold enough. He said yes, it was good gold. There was another man with him that Symes called Lyons, and he offered 7/. for the chains. Symes said he wanted 21. a piece for them. Floyd said "We won't give more than 71. for them," and Lyons said " you are a fool if you do." Then Symes let them have the chains for 71. Floyd and Lyons took them away, and presently re turned with the 71. After this Symes found a pin in the bottom of the brougham, one evening. I said I must take it back. He said, " Oh, no. It will do to spend to-night," and he pawned it for 4s. At another tune Symes found a ring at the bottom of the carriage. It was one that he gave to Pullen. After this he put me up to getting the parcel out of the brougham, tell ing me that if I would let him do it, he would set me up with a cab and two horses. He followed me about day after when I was out with the brougham. On the day when the robbery happened, Floyd and Symes fol lowed me about in a cab. They followed me into the City and then back to the Strand. It was getting dusk, and they said it would be the time to take the parcel. I told them they had better let it alone. They said if I did not let them take the parcel out of the brougham they would tell my master about the chains, and then I should get transported. Symes said, " You look into a shop window, and we'll have it out." He gave me half-a-crown then, and told me he was going into the country. He was away several days in the country, and he told his wife that if I wanted any money I was to have some of her. After he returned from the country, he told me that it had fetched 951., and that he paid 41. to a man for selling it, and 11. for melting it down. Time went on, and Symes altogether gave me about 101. I was to have more, but when I went up to his lodgings one day, I saw all the things scat tered about, and they pretended there was a robbery. I saw Mrs. Symes next day, and she said that she sup posed Ted (meaning Symes) had gone away with the money ; but the same night Symes accused me of break ing into the house, and stealing all the money myself. I then went up to Floyd and told him how Symes had served me about the money. Floyd said, if I would keep quiet I should join him in his cab and horses, and work half the number. Floyd—You won't work half the number now. Boyd—l can't help it. Floyd went with me to Symes, who was in bed. He said he did not mind pay ing me my share weekly: The prisoner having signed this statement, Symes was also asked if he wished to say anything, after the usual caution. Symes—What he's been saying is all false. Boyd brought the pin to me and asked me what it was worth, and I pledged it for him for four shillings in my own name. It doesn't stand to reason that I should do that if I thought it was stolen. I know nothing about all the rest he has been saying. Floyd reserved his defence, merely saying, I know nothing at all about it. Mr. Henry then committed the prisoners for trial. CLERKENWELL.—Mrs. Mary Mizen, a lady re siding at No. 8, Southgate-road, Islington, was charged, on a warrant, with assaulting Mr. John Orick Kennard, a draper, of Deptford. The complainant stated that on Wednesday morning last, between ten and eleven o'clock, he called at her house for 101. 10s., being the amount of rent due from her to him in respect to the premises she had formerly occupied in Lucas-place, Hoxton. A note of the bank of England for 101. was given to him by her servant in part payment, and on his mentioning that he must have 10s. more, the girl went out of the room and returned with her mistress, who was in her night-dress, and five or six young ladies similarly attired, all of whom imme diately " pitched into him," and " pummelled" him right and left, until he was forced to give up the 101., after which they flung him out of the house. (Much laughter.) Mr. Tyrwhitt (smilingly)—And that was the way they paid you the rent ? Complainant—lt was, indeed. Mr. Tyr whitt—Am I to understand that all the ladies, with the exception of the servant, were in their night clothes ? Complainant—" Oh, yes sir ; they came direct from their beds to attack me. It was a most awkward predi cament. (Laughter.) I have not made the slightest mistake about the the number or condition of the ladies." Mr. Wakeling addressed the worthy magistrate for the defence, assuring him that Mr. Kennard must have been labouring under some extraordinary delusion at the time he visited his client, who was the only person that arose from "her bed, and, with the exception of her servant, was the only individual who went to the complainant after he had improperly obtained the 101. The simple facts were :—On the day in question Mrs. Mizen was expecting her present landlord for his rent, amounting to 61. 10s., and when the complainant pre sented himself, and in reply to the servant, distinctly represented that he was the landlord of her then abode, a 101. note was immediately handed to him to take that amount, and the mistake being discovered and made known to his client, she in a rage jumped out of bed, and on demanding a restoration of her money, or the difference between them, he knocked her down. Her cries for help brought her assistance, and the complain ant having been made to refund the 101., he was suffered to depart from the house. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked Mr. Kennard if he made use of his stick as described ? He said he did not. He had the will but not the power to do so, for the ladies clung about him like leeches. (A laugh.) Mr. Wakeling called for the defence the servant, Catherine Lines, who distinctly swore to the several facts spoken of in the explanation. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that, after the straightforward tes timony of the last witness, he should dismiss the charge, with a strong recommendation to Mr. Kennard to come to a speedy amicable arrangement with Mrs. Mizen, or she might with safety turn the tables on him. SOUTHWARK.—George Dalton, a joiner, residing at No. 2, Brandon-row Newington-causew a y , and Ame • lie Holloway, a young female with whom he cohabited, were brought before Mr. A'Beckett, for final examina tion, charged with gross cruelty to Mary Ann Hollo way, their illegitimate offspring, 15 months old, by breaking its arms, burning its legs and chest, and neglecting to provide for its proper nourishment. It appeared from the evidence given on former exami nations that the prisoners had lodged about three months at the above address as man and wife, and that when they came there the infant was twelve month old, and in good health. Latterly, Mrs. Marley, the landlady, had heard the child scream dreadfully when the male pri soner was at home. The infant was sent to nurse a fort night before Christmas, and brought home on the 26th ult., apparently in good health, and for several days afterwards the infant was heard to scream dreadfully, and when the landlady saw it, she was told it had fallen off a chair into the fire. After that the landlady saw the child in the arms of a girl who nursed it, and per ceiving it suffered great pain, she examined it, and she found it in such an extremely emaciated state, that she at once informed the police. Mr. Odling, the surgeon to the M. division, saw the infant, and pronounced it to be in great suffering. H e found the upper left arm broken, and the right arm broken a little above the wrist. The fractures were not united, and did not appear to have been attended to. The right leg, from the knee to the ankle-joint, had been , v " I - ~. ~ THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1854. much burnt, as well as the chest. The whole of the injuries appeared to have been caused more than three AMERICAN AFFAIRS. weeks ago. The child was in so bad a state that Mr. A'Beckett di rected it to be taken to Guy's Hospital, where it was examined by Mr. Moreton, the house surgeon. who dis covered, in addition to its other ailments, that the collar i\ NW YORK, JAN. 7.—Both Houses of Congress hay a assembled again after the holydays, and it is supposed that very shortly they will go to work vigoyously in the public business. There are a goo d many excitinc , topics of debate, and serious legit dative work is laid out. There are four topics thai6 have already been brought on the tapis, which win prove awkward things for their advocates, and exciting if not inflammatory subjects for po pultar discussion. 1. The tariff will be revised, and there is a strong and united phalanx of men in both houses who are determined that our Government shall no longer extort from commerce more revenue than it needs to carry on its business. We hear an occasional groan of despair, and sometimes a shriek of terror, from the Protectionists ; but it is too late in the day to talk about legislating money out of the pockets of one class to put into the pockets of an other. England herself has exploded that silly no tion ; and in a young Republic like ours, the very condition of legitimate extension and power of which is freedom of commerce, it should have been exploded in the beginning, and would have been, had we not inherited with our statesmanship the old fogyism of dead and buried empires. Even the iron men of Pennsylvania and Ohio are with drawing their opposition to free trade, for they have discovered that the world cannot make iron as fast as the world uses it ; and why invoke the intervention of local statutes to interfere with the progress of universal laws ? 2. The navy—the American navy—the great American navy—the invincible American navy.— A voyage of exploration has recently been made, and it has been discovered that we have no navy. The Administration, among other good things, seem determined to give us a navy; and everybody seems to be glad at the prospect of having one. But if these ships—these six new steam propellers —are to be built in our navy yards, if we may judge by experience, they will be worthless if they are ever completed. We have expended $150,000,000 on a navy, and have got none yet. If our Government would get Collins, Steers, or some of our great shipbuilders—our really great men—to build its new ships, there would be some hope of progress and improvement ; but this Admi nistration will make it a job affair, and give the contracts to its favourites. We have nearly 10,000 miles of coast, taking the two oceans, and at 20 days' notice any maritime Power can sail into every one of them and burn our cities to the ground. I leave the rest to my countrymen—to do the brag gin • ' I wish to deal only in facts. 3 ° . The Pacific Railroad.—Various schemes have already been proposed in Congress, so numerous that probably no one will pass both houses ; but there will be long and earnest debate on the subject, because the impression is all but universal that one ono or more railroads to the Pacific Ocean must be built, and built soon. So far as the New York Pacific Railroad Company is concerned, I have as certained that the bill which has passed the Legis lature of Texas was framed exactly to their liking, and that this company intends to take immediate advantage of itsprovisions. That bill appropriated 16,000 acres per mile, with large privileges in the conditions of the location of the land, in the vast domain of Texas, which embraces over 100,000,000 of acres ; and from the best sources I learn that the prospects of this company are brightening every day. 4. The Slavery question is up again, and it will be agitated and discussed. Senator Douglass, fro:lllinois, a popular and vigorous young man, who lacked but a few votes in the Baltimore Con vention of being nominated as the candidate of the National Democratic party, has, in his capacity as Chairman of Territories, brought before the Senate a bill for the inauguration of Nebraska into a ter ritory. Senator Douglass has been chairman of that same committee for six or eight years, and every State and territory which has during that time been inaugurated has come in under the bills he has drawn. Ho is understood to be a staunch National Democrat, and distinguished himself by his eloquent advocacy of the great compromise mea sures of 1850. In his Nebraska Bill he has incor porated the conditions of the compromise measures, viz. :—the people of the territory are left free to establish African slavery within their limits or not, as they may elect ; and the provisions and obliga tions of the Fugitive Slave Law are to extend over the territory. This will bring up the whole subject of slavery, and we shall witness, most probably, exciting and, perhaps, angry debates. bone was broken. Mrs. Marley, the landlady, proved that she had heard the male prisoner slap the infant in a very hard man ner ; and no doubt existing that the deplorable aid dangerous state of the infant was caused by the conduct of both prisoners, they were taken into custody, and remanded several times, to ascertain whether the poor little sufferer was likely to recover. The servant-girl who nursed it also proved that she had frequently seen the male prisoner beat it most un mercifully with his fists. When called upon to answer the charge, the prisoner said the child was well enough when sent out to nurse, and that the limbs must have been broken while out of their custody ; that the female who brought it home was drunk, and must have fallen down and ill-used it. Hannah Willett, the wife of a respectable man, and sister to the female prisoner, was called to contradict their assertions. She said she had the child to nurse for a fortnight before Christmas, and she took it home the day after Christmas-day. The child had been -pre viously burnt, but the wounds wore healed up. The arms and collar bone were perfectly sound then. There was no accident occurred to the child when she had the care of it, but it was very sulky, and appeared to have been grossly neglected. Mr. A'Beckett ordered the lengthy depositions to be taken, and committed the prisoners for trial. The parish authorities were bound over to prosecute. LAMBETH.— INTIMIDATION OF A WORK3IAN.--. William Tanner, a stonemason, in the employment of Messrs. Kirk and Perry, contractors for part of the masonry work at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, was summoned on the information of Richard Wilcock, for having used threats and intimidation to him, for the purpose of forcing him to belong to the Masons' Union, and to contribute to its common fund. The complainant, Wilcock, said---I am a journeyman stonemason, and have been in the service of Messrs. Kirk and Perry, and employed by them at the Crystal Palace from the 14th of December until Tuesday last, when I was obliged to leave. The other masons struck against me, and I was compelled to leave. Mr. Norton—What was the cause of their striking against you? Wilcock—Because I would not pay to the "union" fund. The defendant is the "shop steward," and his • duty is to collect the " union " money from the men at work at the Palace. On Monday week Tanner came to me when I was at work and said you must make up your mind to pay half a crown a week to enter the " union," which will cost you ss. 7d., this day week. On the following Monday he came to me and said, "Now, I must have half a crown a week of you, else you shall not work here any longer." I told him I had no money to spare, that all the money I earned I wanted for myself, but I said that I should speak to the fore man to see if he would give me the money, but all the time I determined on not giving anything to the union. I spoke to the foreman about it, and told him about it, but he said he should not interfere in the matter. I went to my work on Tuesday morning, and the defen dant again spoke to me, and asked if I did not get the money from the foreman on the night before, and I told him .not. - The defendant then said, " I suppose you don't mean to pay it." I told him I had no money to do it, and he then said, "You will work here no longer then till dinner time." The defendant then went about the men in the shop, and afterwards told me the men would strike against me at dinner time. After the dinner hour not one of the men went to work but my self, the other 20 remained idle, and in about an hour and a half the foreman came to me and said, " Come, my boy, you must pack up your tools and be off." I asked the foreman what I was discharged for, and he said, " On account of the strike against him, and he could not do less." After that I was not allowed to work at the Crystal Palace, but I procured employment elsewhere. Mr. Norton— Now, do you know anything about the society, or this ss. 7d. entrance money - ? - Wilcock No more than it was for the entrance fee into the " union," and after that I should have to pay the usual contribution. I know nothing of the union for seven years, when I belonged to it. About seven or eight years ago I was employed at Hull, and I was then obliged to contribute to the union, else I should not have been employed. At another place I got work, and was then called upon to turn out against a man who did not belong to the union, but on that occasion six men and myself refused to do so, while ten turned out. I subse quently received work at Mr. Myers's, andlwas then com pelled to pay 3/. penalties for acting as I had done against the union. In his cross-examination by the defendant's solicitor, the witness denied having used any improper language to his fellow-workmen—that he did not charge them with being scoundrels for attempting to rob him of his money. He admitted, however, having been convicted at this court for an assault and fined 405., but this, he said, was in consequence of his being pelted at by the unionists in Belvidere-road, and his throwing a stone at one of his assailants, which unfortunately struck another party. John Hart, foreman to Messrs. Kirk and Perry, said he had the superintendence of the masons employed by the firm at the Crystal Palace works, and recollected the complainant coming to him on Monday last and saying he supposed he should have to pay the money for his re admission into the union or leave his work. He (wit ness) told him that he did not interfere in such matters so long as they did their work. This was on the Mon day evening, and the next morning the defendant and another mason named Cummings waited on him as a deputation from the men, and said Wilcock had made use of very offensive language, and therefore they did not wish to work with so disagreeable a shopmato. On the same day at dinner-time, or rather some time after, on going on to the works he saw all the men standing except Wilcock, who was at the work, and on asking what was the cause, he was told Wilcock. He did not know what to do under such circumstances, but thought the best course was to discharge Wilcock, and he did so. Mr. Norton That is to say, that though you told the complainant you should not interfere so long as they did their business, you acted in perfect violation of that assertion, by discharging the man who was doing his work, and sacrificing him to the caprice of the 20 or 30 persons who had not gone to their work, and who had conspired to get rid of him. In answer to the questions of the magistrate, the witness admitted that he had been a member of the union himself when he was a working man. The complainant, he said, was not a first-rate hand, and he should have discharged him if he could get a better. John Cummings, an Irishman, laboured hard to im press upon the magistrate's mind that the society to which the complainant was required to contribute was only a benefit society ; but on being questioned by Mr. Norton, he admitted that part of its funds were devoted to the strike. Other witnesses of a similar character were called, and it was evident that there was a strong feeling on the minds of all against tha complainant, from their know ledge that his feelings and opinions were inimical to the " union." The defendant's solicitor addressed the court at some length, contending that the complainant was unworthy of belief, and that the society to which he was requested to subscribe was nothing more nor less than a benefit society, from which the complainant himself would derive as much benefit as those of his fellow-workmen. He declined, however, to put in the rules of the society or union. Mr. Norton observed that he had no doubt what ever in the perfect truth of the complainant's state ment ; indeed, he could have no doubt on the subject as it was corroborated by the witnesses who had been called, and who were opposed to him ; and that he (the complainant) had been made the victim of the strike, because, like an Englishman he chose to resist an ille= al impost. He (Mr. Norton) could not approve of the conduct of the foreman of Messrs. Kirk and Perry, in taking on himself at once to dis charge the poor man, as it was quite at variance with his professions to Wilcox—namely, that he did not in tefere with such matters as long as the men did their work—in discharging the man who was at work, at the will of those who were idle. There was nothing more disagreeable to him than that of sending a hard-working man to prison, and if he,was satisfied that the com plainant was taken back, and should not again be inter fered with, he would avoid doing so. The complainant said it would be useless going back, as he could not expect any comfort, and he should leave the case in the bands of his worship. Mr. Norton said, in that case, he must do his duty, and protect the complainant. He then sentenced the defendant to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE AT DOWLAIS—A CHILD EATEN ALIVE By RATS.—The busy little town of Dow lais, Glamorganshire, has been the scene of one of the most painful and revolting occurrences which we have ever been called upon to record. Some of the poorer class of houses are infested to a considerable degree by those destructive vermin—rats, but no one seemed to imagine that the presence of those intruders, although dangerous to property, would be attended with so much peril to personal life. A poor working woman having occasion to go from home, put her young child to bed until her return. Upon her opening the door of the apartment in which the child lay, she saw three large rats jump from the bed, and on looking in that direction, was terrified at perceiving that the bed-clothes were stained with blood to a considerable extent. Upon her removing the coverlet a shocking spectacle presented itself. The rats had mutilated the poor infant, and destroyed its life, having eaten away the wall of the belly, and destroyed portions of the intestines. The agony of the unhappy mother upon discovering her loss may be better conceived than described. Her cries brought her neigh bours to her assistance, and the shocking occurrence has produced a painful sensation throughout the neighbour hood. THE ALLEGED MURDER ON ROBOROUGH-DOWN.—The prisoner M 'Donnell was on Thursday morning last taken from the military prison at Devonport (where he is un dergoing punishment by sentence of court-martial), and marched, under an escort of soldiers, to Roborough do wn, to afford him an opportunity of pointing out the spot where he had deposited the remains of the woman whom he still persists in declaring he has murdered. Mr. Giffard, chief of the Devonport police, and other persons, were on the spot; but after the day had been passed in a fruitless search for the alleged " body," the escort re turned, tired and jaded, fully impressed with the convic tion that they had been hoaxed. The fellow has borne a most disgraceful character in the regiment from the time he entered it.

EXPENSES OF THE WAR AGAINST RUSSIA.—A ru mour has been circulated on the Paris Bourse that the expenses of the war against Russia are to be met by a joint loan of 16,000,000/. sterling to England and France. This loan, it is said, is to be issued at 78, as a medium between the prices of the French Threes and the English Consols. Such an arrangement would doubtless suit the various financial houses on both sides, eager for commissions, but, except in the wishes of these persons, it can certainly have no foundation. The chief cause of the ealm confidence with which the people of England look upon the struggle on which they are about to enter is the conviction that the experience of the last war and the subsequent spread of clear economical views, will prevent all attempts to provide the cost by unsound expedients of any kind. If the amount wanted from time to time be raised in a national manner, in the open market, and expended only by our own people, a few millions will, it is felt, go a long way towards the maintenance of an irresistible force ; but if the idea were to prevail that the old systems of raising money by the issue of large sums of stock at prices below par and of subsidi dizing foreign nations will be resorted to, there would at once be an end to this conviction. The rumour in question comprises as much of the two evils as could have been condensed into a single proposal, since it as sumes that the Governments are to receive only 781. for the liability to pay 1001., and that England is to he con tent to raise her 8,000,0001. at a price 10 or 12 per cent. below what she could otherwise get, in order that France may contract her share on terms just as much above the rate that is available in her own market. This would simply be a subsidy, with the disadvantage of clumsiness, and the loanniongers, whose instincts are developing themselves early, must devise something better if they expect their statements to find currency even for a day. As far as England is concerned, more over, it is not yet certain that an immediate surplus of revenue, coupled with a determination on the part of the people to submit to any necessary increase of taxation for the future, may not be sufficient to carry us through without creating additional burdens for posterity. At all events, if none but legitimate loans are resorted to, the belief may fairly be entartained that such amounts as would otherwise have been absorbed from us by Austria and Russia during the current year will be more than sufficient for every purpose. ANNUAL RETURN OF FIRES IN LONDON. A few days ago Mr. Superintendent Braidwood made his annual report of the fires in London during 1853. The document is extremely voluminous, and states, inter• alia, the following : "The fires in 1853 as compared with 1852 have de creased by 23 ; but, on the average of 20 preceding years, the increase is 24. The number of fires in the list of totally destroyed' shows a decrease of 5 as compared with 1852 ; and on the average of the 28 years, a decrease of 5 . 7 ; but, when the increased number of fires is taken into account, the decrease on the average of the 20 years is 10. " Of those totally destroyed nine were from two to six miles from the nearest station. " The conduct of the firemen has been quite equal to that shown by them in any former year, and I cannot avoid work more noticing the hearty goodwill with which all their is clone, and which makes their exertions so much valuable than mere eye service ; not a little of this spirit is due to the example set by the officers whom the committee have placed under me, especially the four foremen. "The steam floating-engine has done all that was ex pected from her during the past year, and contributed to lessen the list of totally destroyed.' When near enough to work both engines, the 'steam-float' is more useful than twelve land engines. The Tower float is as for 'merly ; the engines are in excellent order, but the hull more decayed and more patched than it was a year ago. "The number of fires from the Ist of January to the 31st of December, 1853, was as follows : "Fires at which the premises were totally destroyed and considerably damaged, 261 ; ditto, slightly, ditto, 639 ; making a total of 900. " The foregoing statement does not include chimneys on fire, known to be so, but only such as are known to be fires." The following is the list of fires, and the trades carried on in the premises, during the year 1853 : "Apothecaries and dealers in drugs, but no chemical works carried on, 2 ; bagnios, 4 ; bakers, 18 ; ditto, pie, 1 ; booksellers, binders, and stationers, 14 ; basket makers, 3 ; barge and boat-builder, 1 ; bacon-dryer, 1 beershops, 9 ; brewer, 1 ; brokers and dealers in old clothes, 9 ; builders, 8 ; butcher, 1 ; cabinetmakers, 19 ; carpenters and workers in wood, not cabinetmakers, 43 ; chandlers, 4 ; coachmakers, 2 ; cooper, 1 ; church, 1 ; curriers and leather sellers, 2 ; corkcutters, 2 ; coffee roasters, 2 ; coffeeshops and chophouses, 7 ; coal mer chants, 3 ; charcoal and coke, dealer in, 1 ; cornchan dlers, 3 ; cornmill, 1 ; confectioners and pastrycooks, 5; cheesemongers, 3 ; cement and plaster of Paris works, 1 ; colourmakers, 3 ; cocoanut fibre manufacturer, 1 ; distillers (illicit), 2 ; distiller of turpentine, 1 ; drapers, woollen, linen, and mercers, 23 ; drysalter, 1 ; dyer, 1 ; eatinghouses, 5 ; engineers' mechanical, 7 ; firework makers, 4 ; French fancy warehouse, 1 ; fishcurers, 2 ; farming stock, 18 ; founders, 2 ; feltmaker, 1 ; furrier and skin dyer, 1; fellmongers, 2 ; grocers, 7 ; gasworks, 1 ; gutta percha works, 1 ; gluemaker, 1 ; granary keeper, 1 ; hatmakers, 7 ; hotels, including clubhouses, 5 ; horsehair merchant, 1 ; japanners, 2 ; inkmaker, 1 ; lodgings, 81.

Among the most destructive fires during the year were the following : " A house of 10 rooms in Howard-terrace, Walworth- I road, which was destroyed from want of water ; two houses in New Church-road, St. Pancras, completely on fire before the arrival of the engines ; a large timber wheelwright's workshop, in Emmanuel-court, Red Cross street, Borough ; a japanner's workshop and drying 'stoves, at Kneith-terrace, Mile-end, totally destroyed— two miles from the nearest engine-station of Brigade. The next completely destroyed was an unfinished house at Forest-hill, six miles from the nearest station. An unfinished house of eight rooms, at Bromley, was the next wholly destroyed—four miles from the nearest sta tion. Two unfinished houses, in the Harrow-road, two miles from the nearest station, were the next that were destroyed. The Circus, in Islington-fields, is described as being the next large fire, which was two miles from the nearest station. On September 9 the great fire oc curred at Scott Russell and Co.'s, at Millwall, which was three miles from the nearest station. The next great fire was in the Finchley-road, three miles from the nearest station, where an unfinished house was destroyed. It is a singular fact that the next fire where the property was wholly destroyed was in the East India-road, Poplar, two miles from the nearest station, where three timber cottages were burnt and pulled down. On Christmas-day a licensed victualler's house, in the Whitechapel-road, after being partly burnt, fell down and nearly buried the firemen. On the 26th of December a very large fire took place in Upper Thames-street. The building was an old sugar-house, used as a rag and paper-warehouse, which was com pletely on fire before the arrival of the engines. The next extensive fire happened the following morning in Hill street, Finsbury, which was likewise completely on fire before the arrival of the engines, and when they got to the scene the water was very scanty. The next large fire was at a timber building in Great Win Chester-street, London-wall, used as an upholsterer's workshop, which were burnt down on the 29th of December. Two days afterwards a fire destroyed a building 50 by 30, a t Plough-bridge, Rotherhithe, used as a turpentine dis tillery ; and the same night followed the largest fire of any during the year--viz., that in Bread street, Cheap side, where many thousand pounds' worth of property was destroyed, the buildings burnt out, and several others damaged." SINGULAR SUICIDE.—A. stranger arrived at Potsdam a few days dago, and, going to the Frederick Church, asked the beadle to be allowed to visit it, as it is one of great beauty, and contains many works of art. The beadle opened the doors, but no sooner had they entered than they heard slight meanings. They hastened to the spot, and found a young man hanging by the neck to a large marble figure of Jesus Christ on the Cross. They immediately cut him down, and conveyed him to the hospital. Having partially recovered, he stated that he belonged to the sect of Old Lutherans, or Pietists ; and that, being anxious to secure his salvation in the world to come, he had long determined to die as Christ died ; that he had frequently attempted to crucify himself, but had not courage to execute the design ; and that at last, after a violent struggle with his bad passions, he had hanged himself to the cross. About a quarter of an hour after making this statement he died. PRICES OF. SHARES. IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK. LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1854. From, the Official List.

THE 'VOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) LEEDS, Jan. 20.—We have no alteration of any im portance to report in the state of the woollen cloth mar ket. There has been a fair steady trade done in the Cloth halls this week. Both on Saturday and on Tues day there was a good attendance of merchants in the markets, general activity prevailed, and a considerable quantity of cloths, as well as other decription of goods, were sold. There have been a few good buyers in the town, which has given a better tone to business in the warehouses the week. HUDDERSFIELD, Jan. 17.—We have had a slack mar ket again to-day, and there has not been a great deal doing in the warehouses. ROCHDALE, Jan. IG.—The wool market has been lan guid ; the manufacturers buy sparingly, but prices are firmly maintained. BRADFORD, Jan. 19.—N0 improvement in wool dur ing the week. The demand has been limited. Yarns —The feeling is animate, and business is inanimate, and business is chiefly confined to orders. Pieces—More inquiry for goods suitable for the approaching season. HALIFAX, Jan. 14.—We have but little to record of to-day's market. The piece trade quiet, though a moderately fair business doing in yarns. For wool the demand rather languid, and prices quoted stationary. COUNTRY MARKETS. $ HADDINGTON—JAN. 20. The following are the prices of grain at our market to-day : WHEAT, BARLEY.
