LONI)01v, THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1864, POLICE INTELLIGENCE—TaI •a 7: MANSION-HOUSE, EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COLLECTOR.—A. respectably dressed man, named William ()dialing, was charged with embezzling various largo sums' of money, which he had received in his capacity of town collector for the Messrs. Defries, the celebrated chandelier manufacturers, of 147, Houndsditch. Mr : John Hunt, general manager to the Messrs. Decries, said the prisoner was a town collector of accounts, and had been in the employ of the firm for seven or eight years. It was his duty to enter all accounts he received during the day in a book the morning after he had received them, and then passed over the money to Mr John Levy, the principal cashier to the Messrs. Defries. He charged the prisoner with embezzling ZIO Os 4d, which he had received from Mr Snow, who was a customer of the firm. This morning an officer was called in at the estab lishment at Houneditch, and Mr Defries told him for the length of time he had been in their employment . he expected trustworthiness. He was asked about his accounts, and eventually he admitted embezzling various sums of money. He was not prepared to say the amount of the prisoner's defieiencies, but he knew it was over £lOO. The prisoner when spoken to about the particular account of Mr Snow, said he had received the money and appropriated it to his own use. He had not the necessary receipts with him on that occasion, but he should be in a position, in the course of a few days, to clearly establish the charge against the prisoner. Detective officer Smart said he was called in to Messrs. Defries' warehouse in Houndsditch, and was told to take the prisoner into custody for embezzling several sums of money. As he was conveying him to the station he said " It is a bad job, but it is all through a brother of mine. I had the money this morning to settle the matter." On searching him at the station house, seven £lO Bank of England notes and £3 10s. in coin was found on his person. The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoner for a week. John Nicholls, another servant in the same firm, was then placed at the bar, charged with a similar offence. Mr. Coleman Defries, senior partner in the firm, said they carried on a very extensive business at 147, Hounds ditcb, and in consequence they had to employ a large number of servants. The prisoner was a traveller for the firm in which capacity he would recei♦ e moneys which it was his duty to pay over to Mr Hunt, the general manager, or to Mr Levy, the chief cashier, the day after he r received it. In consequence of certain information he, this morning, spoke to the prisoner and charged him with em bezzlement. He asked him to tell him the persons from whom he had received money, when he gave the names of three persons, viz., Mr Walker, of Dalston, from whom he had received 6s. 2d.; Mr Roberta, of Kingsland, £lO, and Mr Wheeler of Hackney £2, for none of which he had accounted. Those were the only sums at present known, but he had no doubt the defalcations were larger. Mr. Hunt, the manager, said he knew nothing about the money the prisoner was charged with embezzling. Ho had not received the accounts of either of the customers men tioned by Mr Coleman Defries. Alderman Lawrence asked if in this case the necessary documents were in court to complete the case ? Mr Defries said they were not; he should therefore have to ask for a remand. The two cases were quite distinct• The matter that had led to their discovery was the sending in the quarterly accounts. The prisoner was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINAUY ROBBERT.—Henry Dempser, Susan Seymore, Margaret Broughton, and Thomas Beeho, were charged before Mr Knox with stealing £22 10a., a watch and chain, an umbrella, &C., from the person of John Smith. cellarman and barmen, in the employ of Mr Garrard, in the Vauxhall Tavern, Kennington-lane, under the following extraordinary circumstances. Mr Sayer, from the office of Mr Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, defended Beeko. The prosecutor, a middle-aged man, said—Yesterday afternoon about four o'clock I was passing No. 30, King street, Soho, when I saw a female (Seymore) going into the house with some beer. She invited me in and I went into the front parlour of the house. I had not been in the house more than three minutes when Beeho came in and said— " That is my wife; how dare you be here with my wife." He then abused Seymore and said, " What do mean by this ?" At this moment another man (Dempsey) came in and said—" I am the landlord; how dare you make this disturbance in my house ?" Dempsey then told Beeho to leave directly, and asked Beeko what reparation he was going to make him for having a dis turbance in his house ? I said I cannot make any, and Dempsey then said, "You must have some money about you. Beeho owes me £25 for rent. You pay the £25 and then start him, wa won't have him here." I said I could not pay it, and Dempsey said, " You can, you have money about you." Dempsey then flew at me and seized me by the neck, and held me tight. I said, " Don't hurt me and 1 will give you the £2s,'' and took out my purse for the purpose. Dempsey then snatched the purse out of my hand and took out £2 10a. and gave me back the empty purse and then said, "Now I'll be desperate. You have more money about you," and then seized my waistcoat pocket, and took out my tobacco box in which there was nine sovereigns, and emptied the money into his hand, and then gave me back the box. Dempsey then said " This will not do for me, I shall make you draw up a paper, and sign it, for £lO more." I then drew up a paper for £lO more, and gave my direction at Hampstead, all this time I was locked in the room, the woman and the two men all being present. I afterwards, from fear, gave Dempsey the directions of my employer, and Dempsey and Beeho left the room to go there. I was then left in the room with the two women. The men returned about half-past 9 o'clock. Mr. Knox—What room were you locked in ? Prosecutor—A front parlour. Mr Knox—Did you not go to the window to give an alarm ? Prosecutor—l did not. I was afraid to do so. I did net ask the women to let me out of the room. I sat all the while quietly in a chair, and the women only spoke a few words to me. The men came back, and Dempsey then said that I had given a correct address, but that he believed I was the proprietor of the tavern, and said, " Now, I shall make you sign a paper for the sum of £2O, or perhaps £50." Dempsey then said, " I know you have got some more money about you," and felt in all my pockets, and took out my watch and chain from my trowsers pocket, where I had deposited them. The women stood looking on. All the five hours we sat looking at one another. Mr Knox—Then, although you were left with only the women for five hours, you did not think of taking any means to release yourself ? Prosecutor—l did, but I was afraid. After Dempsey had taken all I had I told him of, he then gave me a shilling. We left the house all together, and Dempsey gave me some lemonade at a publichouse. I did not make any complaint at the publichouse, The shilling Dempsey gave me was to ride home, As soon as I got from them I went to the Vine-street Police-station and gave information. Mr Knox—Did you ask for any of your money back? Prosecutor—l did, and that was why Dempsey gave me the shilling. It was near the corner of Spur-street where I got rid of them at last. Sergeant Allen, 20 C—About 10 o'clock last night I re ceived information from the prosecutor at Vine-street sta tion that he had been rebbed in King-street. I went with him to No. 30, and Seymore opened the door, but tried to close it. I then asked prosecutor whether Seymore was one of the females, and he said, on getting into the front parlour, she was. Dempsey, Broughton, and Seymore were there together, and prosecutor said, " They were the persons who were in the room together, and who robbed me and held me by the throat." The prisoners made no reply, I then told the prisoners they must all consider themselves in custody, and sent the prosecutor for other constables. The prisoners all wanted to leave. While waiting for assist ance, I saw Dempsey take the watch produced from his pocket and give it to Broughton, who put it under her dress. Then I saw her pass a pair of spectacles to Broughton, who put them under her dress, and they fell on the floor. I picked them up, and Dempsey asked that a person might come in and get some beer, Broughton then said, " I have had nothing to do with it at all." I afterwards saw Brough ton take the watch from under her clothes, and Dempsey then took it from her and put it under the bedclothes. Shcrtly after Dempsey said, " I have got the watch here. I can give it you. It was left me for £10." I then took the watch from his hand. Seymore took no part in the conver sation, but Dempsey passed something to Seymore. Two constables arrived, and I searched the place, and on the table found a paper which the prosecutor had drawn up. The prisoners were then taken to the station and searched, but nothing important found upon them. Afterwards, being told that Beeho was one of the persons, I apprehended him this morning at a coffeehouse in Castle -street, I told him he was charged with being concerned in robbing a Mr Smith of £2l 10s, a watch, and other articles. Beeho said he had had nothing to do with it I then searched him and found upon him an eye-glass, identified by the prosecutor, and a newspaper which the prosecutor had in in his pocket when ha was robbed. In the bed I also found an umbrella, which Mr. Smith identified as his property, The prosecutor—The articles, n watch and chain, two pair of spectacles, &c., are my property. Sergeant Allen, in cross examination by Mr. Sayer, said —I have known prostitutes to live at the house. There are railings in front of the house. The prosecutor said that the reason why he signed the paper was to get out of the house, and that if he had had £lOO he would have given it up. Mr. Knox handing the prosecutor a paper, The prosecutor said, "Beeho wrote the paper in my presence ;" and, in answer to Mr. Sayer ; said—l was ou►t yesterday for a holiday, but I do not usually carry so much money with me. Seymore asked me in, and I went in, partook of the Leer she took in with her. Beeho was the first to enter the house, and Dempsey then came in, and complained of a disturbance taking place in Lis house. Broughton also came up to know what was the matter, and after expressing a hope that no disturbance would take place, stopped while I was robbed. I was afraid to give an alarm for fear. They seemed so exasperated that I was ha fear. When I wrote my address as Hampstead, Beeho said he would go to my wife, but I told him that I had not got one. '?hay so frightened me that I could not sign my name. I 84 for more than three hours with the females, and I eat there to wait for the men to return. Dempsey took my umbrella and everything from me. I afterwards went and had a glass of lemonade with them. Mr E. G. Garrard, of the Vauxhall Tavern, Kennington lane, said—The prosecutor is my barman. Last night two men came to my house and brought a letter di►ected to me. The two men are the male prisoners. The letter was ask ing for £2O. Thinking they might have watched the pro secutor out, although the prisoners gave a description of him, I refused to let them have the money. Dempsey then pointed to the direction on the envelope, saying it was Smith's but as I could not recognise it I would have nothing to do with it. Beeho bad said it was about a bill of exchange, alluding to the letter. The prisoners then left in a cab. Mr Knox—lt is a most extraordinary story. How long has Smith been with you ? ➢lr Garrard—Some years ; and he is a very respectable man, and was out for a holiday. Mr Knox—The prisoners will be remanded. e.......... THAMES. ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—john Donovan, a reckless, ill favoured ruffian, one of those fellows called a " white washed Yankee," who has been a seaman on board Amo• tican ships, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with assaulting Mr James Grimmer, an elderly man, of No. 1, Well-street, near the Sailors' Home, in Whitechapel. Yesterday evening the complainant was stooping over an area in Well-street, and speaking to his daughter who was in a kitchen below, when the prisoner came behind him and seized him between the legs, turning him ever and putting him to considerable pain and inconvenience. The complainant expostulated with him, and the prisoner gave utterance to the most foul abuse, threats and execra tions.Ewliitzhabthe ethJessoP, a lady dwelling next doer, expostulated prisoner and t o ld hi m t o go away. He called her the most offe nsive names and provoked h er so much by his ribaldry and ob scenity that she was induced to strike him. A police-const a bl e named Samuel Fuller, Alrs 153 H, came up and took him into custody. The prisoner gave utterance to a fearfully blasphemous oath, and said he would cut out the entrails of the old man and Mrs Jessop whenever he could get at them. Fuller gave the following account of the prisoner. He was "kicked out of Liverpool" for his ruffianism and indecency, and came to London. He had been a complete pest in liatcliff-highway and vicinity for the last three weeks. His left arm was bound up and he pretended to have lost the use of it. He abused anybody who did not give him money. He caught hold of a sailor a few days ago and swore he would cut his eyes out if he did not give him money. He knocked down an unfortunate woman one day. He had gone into public houses and extorted money. He was turned out of two houses of public entertainment yesterday. He gave his address, Orchard street, West minster, The prisoner, in defence, said that he came home in the Plymouth Rock three weeks ago. She was an American packet ship. He was drunk yesterday, Mr Paget said the prisoner ff4ould be examined by a surgeon, and he remanded the prisoner till Monday next. The late Private Cooper, _--~__ Tie following cJrrespondenee has taken place relative to the funeral of the late Private Cooper, of the Coldstream Guards, who was accidentally shot o❑ the 21st ult., during the late Prize Meeting of the Natienal Milo Association on Wimbledon common, where he expired on Tuesday, at six o'clock, On Friday night last, up to which time the wounded man had been progressing favourably, congestion of the lun. , rs supervened, and the symp toms increasing in intensity, he finally sank with- Gut apparent pain : Wimbledon, Aug. 9, 1864. Sir,—ln the absence of the Rev. Mr Haygarth, the in cumbent of Wimbledon, it is my duty to communicate with you respecting the funeral of Cooper, th 9 woanded guards man, who died here this morning. It is the desire of his wife that he should be interred in our parish churchyard. Many of the inhabitants of Wimbledon and of the adjoin ing parish of Putney would, I am incredibly informed, avail themselves of this melancholy opportunity to tes tify their respect for Cooper, and for the service in which he was engaged. As I visited Cooper daily .luring his illness, I may be permitted to say, and you will be happy to hear that he was apparently well prepared for entering another and a better world than this. Yesterday, although very weak, he fer vently joined in the prayers offered up for him and his, and gave satisfactory indication of a man at peace with God and the world.—l have the honour, T. HALT BILL, Curate and Lecturer of St. Mary's, Wimbledon. To the Commanding Officer, Coldstream Guards. Wellington Barracks, London, Aug. 9, 1864. Rev. Sir,—ln reply to your letter of this day's date, just come to hand, I beg to inform you that the commanding officer has made arrangements for the burial of the late Private Cooper at Brompton Cemetery, the appointed place of interment for the men of the Brigade of Guards dying in the London district. I beg to express to you my best thanks for the interest you have shown, and for the care with which you have attended Cooper throughout his ill. ness, and to mention how great a satisfaction it was to hear of the preparation of mind in which he appeared to be be fore death. I must also take this opportunity of acknow ledging, with all sincerity, the testimony of your parishioners to the respect enter ained by them for Cooper, and with repeated thanks for all the care and attention shown by yourself and the inhabitants of Wimbledon to wards the poor sufferer, I have the honour, &c., EDWARD H. LEGGE, Captain and Adjutant Coldstream Guards. To the Rev. T. Hanly 818, St. Mary 'B,Winabledon. The Great Polish Trial at Berlin. The reading of the documentary evidence brought forward by the prosecution was resumed on the 2d. Herr Brachvogel objected to the reading of a pro clamation of the National Government from the newspaper Ojczyzne, on the ground that the mere fact of the publication of documents in a newspaper is no guarantee for their authenticity. This objec tion was allowed by the President, who also took note of a remark of ilirr Brachvogel that documents relating to a period subsequent to the arrest of the accused cannot be admitted as evidence against them. Several pi oclarcrstions of the National Go vernment, dating to the 18th March, 1864, were then read, the counsel for the defence pointing out that in none of them is there auy expression which can be interpreted into an intention of extending the insurrection to Prussia or Austria. Herr Brach vogel having made some strong remarks on the nature of Russian rule in Poland, which was so in tolerable as to drive the Poles to open resistance, was interrupted by the President, who desired him to refrain from making any remarks of that kind. The President next announced that the prosecution had put in a collection of documents relating to for mer political trials. in answer to some remarks from Dr. Gneist, the Crown prosecutor explained that these documents were purely of an historical cha racter, and were necessary as proofs of the political objects sought for by the Poles. Messrs, Elven, Janeski, Holthoff, Lieerki, and Gneist had no ob• jection to the reading of the abstracts of the pro ceedings of past trials, but protested against the documents being read. The Court, however, decided that as the defence denied the statements of the prosecution with regard to these trials, the docu ments should be read to prove whether these state ments were true. Dr. Gneist then said that the defence objected against such material as broad sheets, newspaper articlee, and proclamations being put in as evidence. An anonymous document is absolutely worthless as evidence. These printed papers are the work of unknown authors, and it is in the nature of things that in times of disturbann e communistic ideas should beetfloat. These rap ers have been collected in a most extraordinate; manner from various parts of Europe, and cannot be ad mitted to prove anything whatever. The evil con sists tot in the production of a single document, but in the placing in juxtaposition a series of documents which have no real relation to each other. He, therefore, begged the President not to permit such matter to be read, After a few remarks from the Crown prosecutor, the President said the Court would give a decision on the subject, and the sitting closed. On the 3d Herr Brachvogel re quested that the correspondence of M. Guttry should not be read, as he did not act with any One else, and his letters could, therefore, compromise no one but himself. This was disputed by the Crown prosecutor, who said that M. Guttry was a mem ber of the Posen Committee, and that his papers were, therefore, evidence of the tendencies and objects of the committee. M. Elven rejoined that the prosecution had yet to prove that there was such a committee in existence ; and one of the accused, M. Koczorowski, declared that, although intimately acquainted w ith M. Gattry, he knew nothing of the papers in question, that that gen tleman was in relations with a so-called universal national European movement, and that none of the accused knew anything about these relations. Se veral papers were then read, among others a decree of the National Government stated to bear the sig. nature of M. Niegolevvski, which, however, was strenuously denied by that gentleman. At the sit ting of the 4th the testimony of a witness named Faucheux was read by the prosecution, to prove the finding of a circular of the National Government is the house of Moszczenski. Herr Brachvoteel here remarked that although the witness hail h a d many opportunities of ascertaining what were the objects of the P o l es , h e firmly mairA a i ned in his evidence that he bad observed no signs of any Hol con- templated hostilities against Prus s i a . H err thoff then proposed that Panchen', who resides in Paris, should be eunomoned to appear as a witness, to which the C ourt agreed. A series of papers, translate; first by Russian officials into French, and tkence into German, wero then read, notwithstand ing the protest of the defence that the translation of a translation could not be accepted as evidence The sitting then closed. It will be observed that in all the mass of evidence which has been brought forward by the prosecution nothing has as yet transpired to prove that the Ile. cased, or even the Poles of other parts of Poland, had any intention of attempting to seize Posen and separate that province from Prussia. The letter from the Russian general, Minkwitz, read at the sitting of the Ist, proves that the Prussian Govern ment even resorted to Russian officials to obtain proofs against the accused. The letter in question is to the following effect :—" I have repeatedly ap plied to the various commissions of inquiry for information as to whether the insurrection is directed against Prussia as well as Russia. With the excep tion of a largo number of printed fly-shoots and newspaper articles I have not, unfortunately, found in the numerous papers of the commissions of in quiry, and the evidence of prisoners, anything that could be of any use for the trial. I did not confine myself to the documents of the commissions, but searched the diplomatic chancellery of the Viceroy in order to inform him of anything that might be 'of use in examinations. In the large volumes I looked through and found nothing but personalities and a great many letters, and which were of no use for the object I had in view. The grand inquiry into the affair of the attempt on General Berg, which seemed heavily to compromise young Cot:Et Stanis laus Zamoyski, also produced nothing for the present trial. Perhaps somethingmay come to light ; if so, I will immediately report it. The only thing I have yet found is in the letter-bag of the French sub iieutenant, young Von Blankenstein, who was killed last spring. This isp paper of the Military Com mission for Posen. and a hat of various persons en rolled in Posen. I scud them both, meagre as they are.' Reporting his Own Case, 010 of the crresponcnis cf the Neu) Tor t, Times gives an account of the misfortunes of his house during the recent Confederate advance upon Washington. He tells the story of his wrongs in this wise :—" Having an abiding faith in the ability as well as disposition of the Government to protect all residents within a reasonable distance of the capital, in an unfortunate hour I hired a house ne mile from Fort Stevens, on the Seventh street pike, five and a half miles from Washing ton—where bouse.rent, fuel, and all the necessaries of life are to be had at comperatively reasonable rites—and into which I moved all my household goods and treasures in April last. On Sunday, .Tuly 10, eirumstances rendered it necessary that I should return to the army in front of Peters. burg. The fact that Early had crossed the Potomac was then generally known, and the prudential query as to whether I should leave a wife and four daughters outside the forts of Washington suggested itself, but all apprehensions were quieted by the as. surance that everything possible was being done, and seeing no outer lines of defence prepared be. tween my residence and the forts I very naturally assumed that my position was really within the outer defenCK of the capital, and therefore perfectly safe from any simply raiding party. Thus assured 1 left my family and went to the army. Tuesday night's mail dissipated whatever notions of safety I had previously entertained. As quick as possible I returned, and reached my house on Thursday morning. From acquaintances whom I met on the road I had learnt enough to be prepared for the worst, and was almost as philosophical as the Irishman when about to be executed, who said he felt thankful that his punishment was no more, but not quite. As I stepped into the house there stood before me my wife and four little daughters, their nakedness scarcely coverei by the few articles of clothing the enemy had consented to leave them, standing around a table upon which was placed a plate of broiled ham and a few crackers, which a more fortunate neighbour had kindly sent in, and the question under consideration just at that moment was how they were to cut the meat; my arrival soled this difficulty, for I soon produced a pocket knife, and six of us used it at this matutinal meal. Such a picture of desolation as was presented to my eyes as I entered the house that morning I never hope to witness again. The dejected, careworn appearance of my family would almost have excited the sympathy of a rebel. The floors throughout the house were covered with the debris of housekeeping articles. As stated before, I thought I was prepared for the worst, but I was not I was prepared to EEC my house snaked of every useful article, either of clothing or furniture, but I was not prepared to find my children's playthings and other presents to them wantonly distroyed ; I was not prepared to hear that even a rebel soldier was deaf to the pitiful appeals of a little girl, four years old, to save her canary bird from destruction. Nor was I prepared, indeed, to find every article of vertu, which had been collected during a period of 20 years destroyed or carried away —yet all these thin gs were done. Dolls were stripped of clothing, 'heads wrenched of, and then as if the fellows could not find objects enough to vent their spite Upo n they cut open the bodies of the dolls and turned out the saw dust. An old clack excited their ire, but instead of knocking it upon the floor and destroying it in a manly way,they filled the works with acompound of wheat flour, meal, a deodorising flour, flower seeds, and resin oil. Not satisfied with doing this much, they primed the house with kerosene, and were about to apply the match, when the intruders dis covered Union soldiers scaling a fence into the yard, when they left in great haste. It is said (poetically) that there is a silver lining to evoey cloud. If there is a silver lining to this affair, it is in the fact that the men oho revelle-A in my home knew whose proporty.they were destroying, and told, exultingly, in presence eZ my wife and children, what they had done; tb et they had 'gutted the home of. one who had de ee Confederate cause more harm than any tr of Lincoln's soldiers.' " The writer then g0 . .?3 back to exp:ain what had passed :— "N'l:ar my house, on either side of the pike, the enemy had planted their guns. Generals Early, Breckenridge, and nearly all of the other generhi officers, with their staffs, occupied the yard sPjrrounding my house. My wife asked if they meant to injure us. An officer replied, We shalt not, but your friends may.' It is due to the rebel officers to say that all of them treated the members of my family courteously. When the skirmish line was passing through our yard, and some of the men trampled upon a flower-bed, my wife, being somewhat excited, told the men not to crush her flowers, whereupon General Brecken ridge laughingly ordered the men to leave. They were seen from one of the forts, and a 100-pounder shell was thrown, which struck a post within five yards of where my wife and children stood convers ing with a squad of rebel officers. Three particles of the shell hit one of nay little girls, seven years old, in her left ear, causing blood to flow, and for a moment stunning her. - The rebel officers insisted that my wife should go to the rear ; but she bad de cided to remain and protect her property at all hazards. Several shells successively exploded near the house within a few minutes, and ball from our• skirmish line came in unpleasant proximity to the party in the yard. 111 y wife was again impor tuned to leave, and on account of her children con sented to do so, provided a guard was placed over the house, which request was agreed to but never complied with, or if it was, no protection was afforded. Under the guidance of Dr_ Strath my family was escorted through the rebel troops to the house of Oliver Clark, two miles in the rear, where Colonel Arnett, of the 20th Virginia Cavalry, made his headquarters, and where they remained until the last of the enemy had fallen back."—New York Times. APFAIRS IN JAPAN.—The following is an extract of a private letter, dated Yokohama, May 26 "May in Japan seems to be the season for panics. Last year, about this time, if you recollect, letters spoke of a panic, and the same thing occurs again now. The two sworded gentry aro swaggering, insulting, and fiercer-look ing than usual—the Japanese money-changers of note have been imprisoned, the governor is excited, and things are beginning again to look unpleasant. To satisfy, or rather allay, the feeling of alarm amongst the people on shore, the soldiers aro loaded with ball cartridge. On the 23d two old Japanese hulks, the representatives of Japan's fleet, moved from the proximity of the fort of Kanagawa and sailed for Yeddo, in all probability to take station behind the forts there. This gave rise to a report that at midnight the fort and guns on the hill near the town were to open fire, and, as you may imagine, this considerably frightened the nervous among the dollar grinders, especially as it blew great guns all night. However, the forts and guns on the hill thought better of the matter, and all were allowed to sleep in peace. A few days before a startling paragraph ap peared in a daily paper that some Dahill° was marching on Yokohama with a large force, and might bo expected. The prince in question was most likely smoking his pipe at home—at all events, he had not yet turned up. Politi cally matters are bad. Sir It. Alcock visited Yeddo and the Gorogia the 16th; the result of the interview was not satis factory. The French minister followed a few days after with the same result. The Coromandel's officers, during their stay at Yeddo, counted over 100 guns mounted in the forts. It seems likely that if you do consent quietly to leave this place and retire gracefully to the mantrap at Nagasaki, they will be foolish enough to try force. If a number of half-drunken, determined men were to make a night attack on the foreign settlement, and at the same time the guns (of the number of which we know very little) pitch into the ships and town, a good many of we poor dev il s ashore would come to grief, especially the ladies, of wh om there are many fresh arr i va l s. O f course w h at w ould fol low would be a severe retribution, and g;vo the Buxton party a lot to talk about; but this would be no conso lation to the unfort una t es murdered, The D u t c h join us in the Simousaki sffair—but if any attempt is made on Yoko hama this Sitnousaki affair would in all probability stand over. Messieurs les Japonais, you aro too late. Last year we were almost at your mercy —now the tables are turned--and have the goodness to wait an other month for 1500 marines and soldiers and we are safe, at least, against murder. Acting Lieut. 11. Morris (promoted at Kagosiwa), of Racehorse, was turned out of the service on the 17th for drunkenness, Several other courts-martial come off shortly, I regret to say, for the same cffenco. When the Japanese question comes again before the House of Commons I hope the give the country up' party won't win. Next to England it is the finest place in the world, and nature was kinder to it than to England, In the hands of Englishmen it would, indeed, be a paradise, It would be a thousand pities to relinquish our footing in such a land—rich as it is in all that man could desire. .Irmy Gazette.

Sales, about 6,000 bales, Parker, who in a drunken rage some time since shot his mother at Fiskeiton, and attempted also to murder his father, was hanged yesterday morning at Nottingham. The unhappy man persisted in denying that he had any in tention to kill, and no doubt the act was not deliberate. The Home Secretary, however, would not interpose the royal mercy. Parker died becomingly. At the Liverpool assizes, yesterday, the two young men, Brice and Scott, who made such a murderous attack upon Dr Rowe at Liverpool some months ago, were each sentenced to 18 months' hard labour. At the same assizes three men were tried for having, contrary to the provisions of the Foreign Enlistment Act, hired persons for service on board the Confederate cruiser Rappa hannock. They were all found guilty, but were liberated on their own recogniaances—the Lord Chief Justin, how ever, intimating to the defendants that a repetition of the offence would be visited with greater severity, ATTILA'S RING.—The Magyar Safi° states that it has hoard from Paris that a ring has been discovered in the excavations now being made at the camp of Chalons, which, it is believed, belonged to Attila, King of the Huns. The ring is of copper, and has the name of Attila inscrilel on it in Latin characters.

It is really now to be given, we ap prehend, at the Grand Opera ; but, to give " L'Afri caine" without the superintendence of its composer, is no trifling responsibility. How Meyerbeer changed his works, pulled them to pieces, cut out heaps of music carefully prepared, and would invent this, that, and the other passage at the last moment, on passing and insuffi cient suggestions, are so many matters of musical history, which every green-room child knows by heart. ' L'Africaine was altered for Madame Viardot ; re-made for Mdlle. Cru velli; and, possibly, during the quarter of a century in which in which it has been talked about, it has undergone as many modifications as there have been years. Now, we are told:that the " cast" is giving cause of doubt and trouble to the management. There is a chance of M. Naudin being engaged. We had rated this gentleman as a Frenchsinger, and as such, likely to succeed better on the French than on the Italian stage, but we were mistaken. Signor Naudin belongs to Naples. APPALLING CALCULATION OF WHAT WE EAT AND DRINI.-111. Soyer rose almost to sublimity when he contemplated the enormous amount, and in his Atodern Housewife thaws the picture of an epicure in his tenth year contemplating the future sustenance of his life, an d the luxuries he will hereafter devour. The serio us p i cture of m Ad is a e m ries i , mu rders, na proph thefts, plagues, Bi°ll contem plating all the ware , troubles of the future man, and all the thieves, robbers, soldiers, and murderers who would proceed from his loins, is the only parallel pic ture which we know of.

A BEAR AND H IS BROTHERS.—The Visitors to the place where the town bears of Berne are kept witnessed an unpleasant spectacle last week. Three cubs were gambolling in a tree placed there for them to climb, when one of them fell from the highest branch and was so .. much hurt that it bled profusely. Two bears a year old, which happened to be at the foot of the tree, infuriated by the sight of the blood, immediately fell on the poor animal and tore it to pieces, in spite of ull the efforts of the keepers to deter them. 133} 5 152 3 2 1191 20 68i 10 it 1161 171 93} 66i 1121 13 bt 92 iit 1021 100 j 100 i 1011 1 1 1 LUTIES. 1081 9 8i 69} d The Man in the Carpet II Supposed explanation of the. Waterloo-bridge mystery, as given by a correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, signing himself " George Irwin, Ser. pentine-avenue, Dublin, August 9, 1864." While passing time has almost caused the Waterloo bridge mystery to be forgotten, even on the immediate scene of its occurrence, information has gradually been collected at a place distant from it by thousands of miles. Through that extraordinary freemasonry existing among criminals who from time to time recruit our convict class —men bound together by the war of society against them, and leagued in fidelity to each other by an acquaintance with or partici pation in each ether's crimes—there can be no doubt there were those at the time in London who, if not privy to that murder in its inception, very soon after the commission of the crime knew the particular§ of it, and could, if they would, have solved the mystery. Without further preface, I will quote an extract from a lettor received by B—, a gentleman well known in this city from his brother, at present in Tasmania, and holding there a highly respectable social position, and her Majesty's Commission of the Peace, referring to a Mr B—, the sub ject of the tragedy which it is believed has been enacted. He writes:— " I feel convinced that his (R—'s) was the body found in the carpet-bag under Waterloo-bridge. From what I have heard horn a person lately come out, it appears R— was lodging with a Jew named W—, a returned convict, close to Waterloo-bridge at the time that he had about £1,400 worth of Tasmanian debentures, which for some time he had been endeavouring to sell; that he sold them to a re spectable Jew named N—; that he received the money, and the same day went home to his lodgings, and is sup posed to have had his money with him, from which hour he has never been seen or heard of ; and when Mr. S—, a friend of his, went to his lodgings a few days after, he could get no tidings whatcyor of IL—, and the wretch W--- had fled no one knew where. I have no doubt he knew had the money, then murdered him, cut him up, put portions of the body (the head never was found) into the carpet bag, and threw it into the river, Not a paper, not a vestige of anything belonging to him has since turned up, and I have no more doubt that that was his fate than that lam writing this. We have ascertained that the man W— is dead. . . Mrs. It is still very unsettled. I told her of my suspicions, but still she hopes on. She says she would know the carpet-bag he took with him, No doubt the police have got it. Would it be possible to on• tarn it, and any other articles connected with it, and have them sent out here for her to see them ?" A very few words in further explanation will be sufficient. B—, above referred to, the recipient of the communication from Tasmania, and at present in Dublin, was himself a resident in Tasmania SOnla years ago, and while there met R—, a respectable position i n lif e, ; he was then a pers on o f o and property, andhim intimately holding R— came to Ireland some ti me previous to the Waterloo B r idge event, and soon after ca ll ed on B—, who at the time happened to be from home, and did not see him, nor after s knew wards during the stay in Dublin did they chance to meet but R—'s arrival in Dublin from Tasmania at that time, however, is confirmed from his having called on others here as well as B—, From Dublin R—. proceeded to Belfast, where he had business to transact; thence he proceeded to London, where ho was also known to have arrived safely, and was called on there by a Mr. 8— (to whom, it appears, he was also in some w ay nown), a few days after the finding of the carp e t-b ag with k the remains at Waterloo•bridge, with the result stated in the Tasmania letter. R— was somewhat eccentric, and though possessed of considerable means, his habits were frugal and saving, if not penurious. It is by no means impossible he may have known the convict W— when that man was the denizen of a penal settlement; perhaps lie looked upon him as a " re famed criminal ," and as mo re to be encouraged and relied upon than one who has all along led an honest life. R-- was I few in London. known to very - am not aware, indeed, that he was known to anyone there except Mr S--, who called upon him. His stay there w as to be brief. In that crowded hive it nay have seemed immaterial to him where he stopped for the time, provided his expenses were small. In any case, it has been ascertained by those in Tasmania who knew him that he lodged with this returned convict close to Waterloo -bridge at the time referred to, and has never since been heard of—he, together with the proceeds of his sale of Tasmanian debentures, having alike disap. peered—neither have the mutilated frag ments of the human body found in the carpet -bag been ever since accounted for i n any way the least satisfactory or credible. That it was the means adopted by some anatomist to get rid of human remains upon which he had been practising_the suggestion accepted at the time w hen the police failed to make any dis covery—was not only exceedingly improbable, being so different from what is customarily den. in such eases, b ut inconsistent with the was altogether man gled --and not anatomised—appearance which the retra i ns presented.
