The Birkenhead , Queen's steamer, of 1,200 tons, i Captain Stevens, havi n g anchored n t he large roads under the charge of Mr. Galli chan, Tuesday evening, with the depot 2Gth Regiment chan, Queen's Pilot, Queenstown, Ireland, for the Jersey on board, from Queens garrison, the Cuckoo, on this station, proceeded to her early on Wednesday morning and took on board 300 of her troops, with whom she was steaming towards Victoria Harbour at about half past 5 o'clock, being at the time in charge of Mr. Payn, Queen's Pilot, when her starboard bow suddenly struck upon the dangerous and unbeaconed rocks in ques tion. Just previously, Captain Dumaresq, hear ing some doubt expressed to Mr. Payn by Mr. Gallichan (who had come on board from the Birken head, as a tnere passenger to shore) as to the safety of his course, gave the order" Ease her !"—an order which fortunately mitigated, although it was too late to prevent, the violence of the strike. The consternation of all on board at the moment of the collision may be more easily imagined than described; • but owing to the coolness of Captain Dumaresq and his officers and , the exertions of Major llogarth and the officers commanding the troops, and to the dis ciplined obedience of the men, no panic ensued. The troops remained in their places. Captain Dumaresq then got all the Cuckoo's steam up, ordered the troops en masse astern, to keep her bows as much as pos sible, from the water, and happil y succeeded i n driving her, j us t b eyon d the harbour 's entrance, into shallow water, the vessel slightly canting over to •wards her larboard side as she took the ground. All the troops on deck were then safely landed, in boats, leaving nothing behind them but two or three Mus kets, which were afterwards found in .the barbonr.

Two meetings have lately taken place on the sub • ject of the Metropolitan Interments Bill, which have shown something more of the animus of the opposition to that measure than was, perhaps, intended to be re vealed. The first of the occasions to which we allude was last Friday's sitting of the Common Council— a sufficiently decent!and;dull affair when compared with the second, which was the meeting held, on Monday night, at the Whittington Club. At the Common Council, the objectors contented themselves with making foolish speeches and quietly voting against the Government scheme; but at the Whittiogton Club heads were broken, women were terrified and injured, and a scene was enacted fitter for a set of savages to have played than for the inhabitants of a civilized metropolis—all because it had been proposed;to abolish a foul, disgusting practice, pernicious to the health and offensive to the feelings of our citizens. The op position came from two parties—from the parochial and civic authorities, who fear the extinction of their powers, and from certain undertakers, who tremble for their profits. Examine it on every side, and no other motive is discoverable. To the first class of objectors we can say but little —and that little will be very general. Vested rights and local interests must, doubtless, be regarded, and parochial authority must be maintained, if possible. To these obvious propositions we cordially assent. But when a question arises between the continuance of such a practice as that of intramural interments, and the intact preservation of local and parochial powers, we are bound to prefer the greater good to the less, and not to sacrifice opposed t theo general well-being, must be Legalmt pbreigvinilveeges4 when, with such compensation as the nature of the case requires and allows. Intramural burials have been proved to be highly injurious to the public health. The putrescent gases which are evolved from animal matter of the 52,000 e th d a e t c eTe Pipg annually laid in metropolit an grave " the sli g ht es t i nspect i on, " says Dr. Lyon piar corpses " showi ng th a t t h ey are not thoroughly ya t h i r absorbed by the soil lying over the bodies"—are dangerous to health at all times, and are fatal to life when breathed in any considerable quantity. llnstances have occurred in which frightful diseases have been generated—in some cases, instant death has ensued—when men have rashly or ignorantly delved into graves before time has shrivelled •up the putrid remains into mere dry bones. Yet these pestilential gases are daily and hourly diffusing themselves throughout London, from the myriads of corpses festering in her graveyards. And not only the air, but, also the water of the metropolis becomes thus impregnated with offensive and deleterious matter. What is not evolved into the atmosphere percolates through the earth into the neighbouring wells and springs. Nor is the evil confined to those wells which are quite close to the churchyards. At a dis tance of 30 feet from St. Pancras graveyard, the odour of the sewer was found to be "peculiarly offen sive, and was known to arise from the decomposition of the bodies"—so active, wide -spreading, and penetrat ing are these horrible gases. Dr. Sutherland, and other medical authorities, have expressed the most decided opinions on the injurious effects of so many bodies being interred in the midst of human habi tations. The greater virulence of the cholera in lo calities contiguous to graveyards, and the constant presence of typhoid fevers and dysenteric disorders in certain districts, where the walls of the houses are damp and wet, oozing with the very matter of decom position, bear out this conclusion. In fact, none but men endowed with the extraordinary amount of men tal,inertia which Mr. Lawrence possesses, would ever dream of denying the positive proofs which have been adduced of the extreme injuriousness of this custom. When a Bill, therefore, is introduced to do away with such an abomination, is it worthy of humanity to begin wrangling about its details, and to offer to a proposed national benefit an opposition founded on the selfish claims of prescriptive authority ? As regards the actual pecuniary rights of individuals and classes, Government has offered what it could in the way of compensation ; and the common instincts of hums pity—the common decencies of civilization —ought to teach men to forego any fancied interest that they may have in [the preservation of a brutalizing and filthy custom. Those undertakers who ,seem to have been tbe chief perforiners in the disgraceful scene at the Whittington Club have acted in a man ner alike wrong and foolish. They clamour for com pensation before they know that they will lose a half penny of; profit. We must have undertakers, whether the gravediggers are paid by the parish or by the Government ; and it is not very likely that any at tempt will be made to introduce sumptuary laws for bidding a man to spend as much as he likes on the burial of his relative. We hope, indeed, to see even tually a better state of feeling established with re ference to this subject than that which now exists— we hope to find the public gradually and voluntarily growing out of their present belief that expense is respectability. This is among our greatest social curses. In every grade there is the same struggle to maintain a costly expenditure—the same sacrifice of utility and common sense to appearances. We would not, however, interfere with the undertakers' bills if people choose to pay them ; but we would teach all classes that a ‘A decent burial" is not one which necessarily causes the temporary— and perhaps the permanent—pecuniary embarrass ment of the survivors. It is one where quiet, , so lemnity, and order are ob serve d— w h ere respect i s paid to the dead, and where all the decencies are maintained which a healthy natural' instinct dictates —not where there are hearse, plumes, sweeping cloaks, useless hatbands, and a large display of hired grief. All this may be what is called "respectability," but it is not the genuine expression of human reve rence to the remains of those we loved. When we remember that the surviving relatives of the dead, dwelling round the metropolitan churchyards, are often smitten, as with a plague, by the foul emana tions of those charnel-houses--when we think of the corpses that are daily dug up to make room for new comers, and of the hacked limbs and scattered bones that strew the ground when we reflect on the outrages which are offered to every human feeling and to every instinct of affection and delicacy —we cannot but regard the op position to a removal of these disgusting abominations, on the ground of sentimental re gard for the "feelings of relatives," as alike puerile, mischievous, and insincere. And yet this is made part of the " cry" against the Metropolitan Inter ments Bill. To the poor, this Bill, with its provi sions for lessening the expense of funerals, would be invaluable. The existing cemeteries are, compara tively, 'of little use to them, for they cannot trans port inconvenience thr e o t u h t i a b y e r— awn i d t h t o h u e e t e a m re u h c e h avy increased for them already. Many a family is obliged to keep its dead in the common living-room of eight or ten people—perhaps for weeks—before it can find funds for the. costly _ ceremony of interment. If, then, the higher - classes would set an example of simplicity and unostentatious decorum, they would naturally be followed by those beneath them, and much private mi s ery would be thereby prevented. Without pausing to discuss the details of this measure, we hope . to see the great principle of extramural burial at once adopted by the Legislature. At present the health of the living and the reverence due to the dead are violated in the crowded metropolitan graveyards. Hundreds have died from the pestilence thence disseminated through the atmosphere—hundreds have sickened in their houses which the rank charnel vapour has filled ; and yet "focus of contagion" is the term deliberately ap. plied to the proposed extramural cemetery, and we are expected to believe that the feelings of survivors will be outraged if their dead are laid decently in quiet and retirement. It is inconceivable that such an opposition to a measure, imperatively called for by every moral and sanitary consideration can: either enlist the sympathies of the public or influence the deliberations of the Legislature.

Albert Savage, a servant out of place, came for ward to prefer another charge, and said, having seen an advertisement in the Times on the 18th of Fe bruary for a clerk or messenger, he answered it; and, being referred to Upper Wellington-street, on the window of which was painted, in large letters, " Wright and Co., auctioneers, appraisers, shipping and emigrant agents," he saw the prisoner and Stan ley (who shortly after left the office), upon which the prisoner told him he would be required to give a de posit of 51, as considerable sums of money would he constantly passing through his hands, adding, that it was only a branch office, the principal one being at Hull. On the next day he called again as desired, and being directed to step out a few minutes while the agreements were drawing up, on his return he found Stanley writing. He then was shown the agreements, which he signed, and paid the required deposit, with the understanding that his salary was to be I/. Is. per week. On the next day he commenced business, and although he was engaged ten days he received only 34. from the prisoner. The nature of his duties was to carry messages about town, and ask questions upon frivolous matters. Mr. HENRY—Have you inquired if the prisoner had any agency-office at llull ? Witness—Yes, and have been informed that such was not the case. Prisoner—lt was my intention to have opened one there for servants, and as a house-agent. Thomas Topp, another servant wanting a place, said that on the 3d of April, observing an advertise ment in the Morning Advertiser, he applied at 17, Adam-street, Adelphi, the initials being "E. W.," and having seen the prisoner, an agreement was en tered into for a situation, salary 225. a week, the de posit being 31., after paying which, and signing the agreement, he was sent to deliver letters at Clapham common, and other remote places ; and seeing how business was carried on, he demanded his deposit, having received only Ios. as a salary, and was told that it would be paid on a future day. He never could get more money, with the exception of 6d. for something to drink. He was subsequently taken by the prisoner to his mother, who said that the deposit money should certainly be paid. The first witness being recalled, said that Stanley had informed him they had a registry-office at Hull, and when he pressed the prisoner for his money, he told Mm he should first rob some other person before he could pay him his demand. The prisoner again said he was about to take an office at Hull. Mr. HENRY said the witnesses had spoken to an existing fact which increased their confidence, and considering that false representations had been made, particularly with respect to Savage, the prisoner should be remanded until Tuesday, without accepting bail for his appearance. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Davis, a linendraper's shopmao, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen 155 pairs of gloves, two shawls, and two lace veils, the property of Messrs. Lewis and Allenby, silk-mercers, Regent-street. Mr. Lewis said the prisoner was engaged as assist ant on the '2d of March, and discharged on the 26th of April. Goods were constantly missed during the time the prisoner was in his situation, and as no con fidence was reposed in him he was discharged. From information received by prosecutor, he went that morning to the shop of Mr. Attenborough, pawn broker, Fleet -street, and was there shown 14 dozen pairs of gloves, two shawls, and two veils, which he knew to he the property of the firm. The gloves had on them the private trade mark After waiting about half an hour in the back parlour, he went into the shop, and the prisoner was pointed out to him in one of the boxes. Prosecutor immediately recognised him, and was recognised by the prisoner, who instantly ran out of the shop, and endeavoured to escape, but was pursued and taken into custody. The prisoner said he was guilty, and appealed to him for mercy. The property recovered was in value about 301., but it only formed a portion of what had been missed. Mr. George Attenborough, pawnbroker, 204, Fleet street, said, on Friday evening the prisoner came to his shop and wished him to purchase a quantity of gloves. He asked him if the gloves were his own property. Ile replied, Yes. He inquired if he was i❑ the trade. The answer was, No ; the gloves were the property of his brother. Witness requested to see the invoice. The prisoner went away, and re turned with the parcel and the invoice. Suspecting there was something wrong about the affair, he told the prisoner he wished to see the gloves by daylight. The prisoner consented, and left the gloves, making an appointment to call the next morning. Witness saw that the name of Lewis and Allenby had been erased from the gloves, and he sent to Regent-street to make the firm acquainted with what had occurred. Mr. Lewis came that morning, and remained in the back shop. The prisoner also came into the shop, and on seeing Mr. Lewis he said, " It's all over with me,' and attempted to run away. When stopped, the' prisoner said to Mr. Lewis, "I suppose if I pay for the goods you will let me off." Police-constable Westmoreland, C 27, said he stopped the prisoner, and took him into custody. As they were walking along the prisoner asked him to change arms. Witness did so. On searching him he found two pairs of gloves in his coat pocket, with Messrs. Lewis and Co.'s marks on them. The prisoner made no defence, and was fully com mitted. Joseph Plant was charged with attempting to violate a young woman under these circumstances : Police-constable Hodge, C division, said about twelve o'clock he was on duty in Regent-street, and when near Little Pulteney-street, he heard a woman exclaim in a feeble voice, " Get away, you beastly fellow." Witness went up to the place, and saw the prisoner was attempting to violate the woman. As soon as the prisoner saw him he turned on one side, and the young woman fell head foremost into the middle of the street. Witness raised her up, and as her appearance was not such as was usually presented by persons in liquor, he said he should take her to the hospital, and the prisoner must go with him. Witness put the young woman into a cab, and took her to the Middlesex Hospital. The following certificate had been given : " A female was brought here at one o'clock by Police constable E 157, perfectly insensible, and the symptoms were those of poison by some narcotic drug. Under such circumstances, I have detained the female, who still remains partially unconscious, and have ordered the con stable to take the man fiund with her into custody. " ;Middlesex Hospital. " CAFE." A later certificate stated that the woman was now perfectly conscious, but suffering great pain in the abdomen, and not in a fit state to give evidence. The defence of the prisoner was that he met the woman in Oxford-street, with a crowd about her, she being intoxicated. He accompanied her to Regent street, but he denied having attempted to take impro per liberties, or that he had made use of any drug or stupifying application. Mr. BINGHAM ordered the prisoner to be remanded till Thursday next. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. J. L. Cabra and E. Llewellyn, Dean-street, Oxford street, pianoforte makers—W. C. Connell and J.

Edward Wright, the keeper of one of the /nume rous sham agency offices in differentlparts of the me tropolis, under the pretence of procuring young men situations as clerks, &c., through the medium of newspaper advertisements, was brought up, charged , with being concerned with Sparkes and Stanley (alias Nixon), at present under remand, in fraudulently ob taining from James Hoare the sum of 201, and also from Alfred Savage a further sum of 51., in the month of February last. The first•named person stated that he was by trade a shoemaker, and answered an advertisement which appeared in the Morning Advertiser on the 24th of January, requiring a messenger and collector to a shipping and emigration office, at 16, Upper Welling ton-street, Strand, where he called, and saw the pri soner in company with Stanley, who was acting in the capacity of clerk, and having inquired what was to be his employment, was informed by the prisoner that he would acquaint him in a few days, being perfectly satisfied of his competency to fill such a situation, but that the sum of 201. would be required as a security, as certain sums of money would daily pass through his hands ; upon which he entered into an agreement, which was signed by them, and paid a deposit of Si. in the presence of Stanley, for which he got a receipt from the prisoner. After he had paid him the remaining 151., on the 7th of February, witness was to receive 245. a week as a salary, and the deposit money was to be paid to him after he had given a written notice to quit the service. He entered the service on the 4th of February, before the deposit was paid and previous to the signing of the agreement, such an arrangement being understood by them both. At the conclusion of the first week he was paid his salary, and for the next week only 103., but nothing for the third ; upon which he applied for his salary, and was told that he might leave immediately if he thought proper. The prisoner promised the repayment of his money, but on the 26th of March the office was shut up. In answer to questions put by the prisoner witness said that he had accepted as a security for his money a pianoforte and two sets of mahogany chairs from the prisoner's mother on a blank piece of paper ; after which he was informed her husband was in White cross-street prison, and that she had no power to snake such an assignment. He never got possession of any portion of the articles, trusting to the prisoner's sense of honour to return him his money, and was ulti mately informed that the document was of 110 value. He had received several letters from the prisoner re questing further time to pay the amount. Mr. HENRY—Was it upon the faith of the agree ment you mention that you parted with your money? Witness—lt . was - upon the und.rstanding that I was to have constant employment. IVESTMINSTER. Shortly before the closing of the court on Satur day a decent-looking middle-aged woman hastily entered and entreated the magistrate's immediate attention to the following very distressing case : Applicant stated, that a poor woman named Holds worth, living in Cooper-street, Westminster, had on the previous day given birth to a child, and, owing to the want of the common necessaries of life, was fast sinking. Applicant had communicated the circum stances to the parish that morning, at half-past eleven o clock, and one of the functionaries had promised to visit the case immediately; but, finding that he did not make his appearance, and apprehending that the unfortunate woman in whose cause her sympathies were enlisted might fall a victim for the want of proper sustenance in her present precarious condition, she again went to the parish official, just before her application at this court, and was tnen informed that the woman's husband must come and make the appli cation. The husband, who had been out of work for a long period, had only just obtained a situation at per week, and, if he left his employment, would of course lose that scanty pittance. Mr. BURRELL immediately directed an officer to go forthwith to the poor woman's abode, and take with him 10s., which, if he found the case as repre sented, he was to leave for present necessaries. Mr. W. Taylor, an inspector of the B division, un dertook the office, and returned in a few minutes with the assurance that it was really a very distressing case. The poor woman had been confined, as stated, on the previous day, and there was not a morsel of food in the place. He learned from inquiries, that the husband had been out of work for nine months, dur ing which time they had parted with all their little things to support themselves, and the husband had only got employment within the last few days at the wages stated. Kir. BURRELL presumed he had left the 10'., and inquired whether the i ns p ec t or th oug ht it suffcient for immediate necessities ? Mr. Taylor replied he had left the money, and ;bought it sufficient for the present. SIIICIDE.—On Friday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, Mr. Hunter, a highly-respectable man, who had for a great m an y year a carr i e d on b us i ness as a poUlterer in Leadenhall-market, committed suicide by hanging him self. It appeared that he went to business as usual at seven o'clock, his business being very extensive; he went up stairs to change his dress as usual, but not coming down for some time one of his men went up stairs, and discovered him hanging from a beam. Surgical assistance was immediately called in, but life was extinct. •The loss of a brother under painful circumstances, through supposed violence by a cab. man, appears to have been the probible cause of the fatal act rAD VEIITISEDIENT.i —THE EARL uF ALIIHORO AND HOLLOWAY'S I'ILLS.—An astounding cure by this miraculous Medicine, atter every other means had hided.
