ADMISSION OF MULLANY AS QUEEN'S EVIDENCE. This day the Desmonds, English, Allen, O'Keefe, Barrett, O'Niel, and Ann Justice were again placed at the bar before Sir T. Henry on a charge of wilful murder. The interest, judging from the number of persons on the bench, seemed much to increase. Mr. Giffard and ➢lr. Poland appeared for the Crown to prosecute; the prisoners were defended as on the last occasion. Mr. Giffard said the first witness he had to call would be Patrick Mullany, who said—l am desirous of being examined as a witness for the Crown. I have been for some time a member of the Fenian Brother hood, the object of which was to establish a republic in Ireaud, and to overthrow English rule in that country. I occupied the position of a centre. I was s'vorn in as such on the 9 ,11 .March last in the Tem perance Hall, Pollen-street. I•was sworn in by a man named jt.ines Kelly, but not of one known as Col. Kelly. I was afterwards introduced to the American officers by the prisoner English. The names of the American officers I was introduced to were- Gen. Halpin, Col. Healey, Gen. Barke (now a convict convicted in Ireland), Dr. Morrison, and some more that I cannot recollect the names of. I now remember another, Captain M'Cafferty. English introduced me to him, and he said that I was a decent fellow. We all then talked about the rising in Ireland. Some time before the 13th of December last I had been short of work in consequence of my men striking against me. I re ' collect the latter end of November a bag being left at my house. English afterwards took the bag away. It contained revolvers. Mr. Lewis—Did you see them ? Witness—Yes. I did not count them. There were also some powder and caps in it. I think the bag was taken away a day or two before the ex plosion, or the day on which it occurred—l cannot be sure which. I recollect of a meeting being held in the neighbourhood of Hol born, somewhere near Little Queen -street. Bar rett was present at that meeting. I am not sure that William Desmond attended, but I know Eng lish was not there. This was about a week before the explosion. The subject of the discussion at the meeting was the raising of money to carry out the object we had in view. One man said, " We'll soon get money, no matter how," and some of the other men volunteered to get a pound, some 18s., some 10s. Arms were to be bought with the money, and we were to meet at the American Stores, Oxford-street, and report as to how matters were getting on. We could not finally settle there, and English said he could get us a house in Castle Market. Sir T. Henry—Where is that ? Witness—Oxford-street. I now remember the house was at a place called Oxford Market. Examination continued—We could not settle there, and English said we must find another house. At that meeting, however, one man said he had got 251bs. of gunpowder. There was some sort of a quarrel with one of the men, whose name I can mention. Mr. Giffard—Don't do that yet. Witness continued.—There was another meeting, at which William Desmond, Barrett, and English attended. I also saw a man who was very pale in the face ; he had a hole in his two coats, waistcoat, and shirt near the shoulder. I knew this man Bar rett as Jackson; he had a revolver in his hand which belonged to English ; it was a breech-loader. They began discussing the merits of the weapon, and they said it was no good. There were five or six more re volvers in the room, but I cannot say to whom they belonged. I saw a cavalry pistol loaded in the room and given to a man. A man had got a barrel, another was to get a tin dish to put at the end of the barrel, to carry the light to the fusee at the top. A truck was asked for, and one of the men present said that could be got from a man named Maddox. A man was sent to look out for the truck, and he returned shortly after, saying, " All was right." I knew where he had to gu for the truck, and the man was about the right time to go there. IVe were then to meet next day, Thursday, at "William Des mond's house. I heard from Barrett that he had been up at the House of Detention a couple of days before that to look at the place. I saw Jackson and another man on the Thursday, when he told me " it" had failed, but that it was to be tried again the next day. I next saw Jackson on the night on which the ex plosion took place. He had his waistcoat off, and another man's coat on. I chaffed him about his whiskers. He told me he had taken them off, and that it was he who lit the fusee. Mr. Lewis —Repeat that. - Witness—He told me he had lit the fusee, and that he would be identified if he kept them on. I asked him who was with him, and he told me. At the time I was speaking with Jackson no per son was with him, but I afterwards saw a man with his ear bleeding in my shop. Jackso n (Barrett) told me he was going a wa y that evening, but that I should hear from him. I heard from Jackson, before the explosion, that he had been down to the court during the examination of a man named Burke. He said he had two revolvers with hi► . in order to seek out Corydon and shoot him. He, however, told me he was going down to Scot land-yard the next day, as he could not do it at Bow-street, as he could not get at him. He again expressed his intention of shooting Corydon. I know something about Greek fire from conversa tion with English. English said he had had Greek fire on two occasions ; the first was about 12 months ago. 1 knew a man had been mixing Greek fire in English's house. English showed me the operation and told me to take some of it home. I refused to do so. I knew English kept phosphorus in his house previous to the conversation. The Greek fire was kept in ordinary black beer bottles, with gutta percha caps over the top to exclude the air. On another occasion he told me he had some mixed in another form, and showed me some made up in tin cases in his yard. He wanted me to take some of them away, but I again refused. I have men tioned the name of Brown. I first became ac quainted with him last year. I then knew him by the name of Winslow. I was introduced to him by a person named Burnett. Brown wasacquainted with English. Sir T. Henry—Have you seen them together? Witness—Yes. Mr. Giffard—ls that man, Brown, the man in custody in the name of Burke ? Witness--Yes, sir. Mr.Giffard—Those are all the questions I have to ask this witness. Mullany —I know a great deal more about the matter. Mr. Giffard—l have asked all I require at present. Mr. Lewis said he should defer his cross-exami nation until another occasion. Sir T. Henry—Mr. Giffard does not say that he intends to recall the witness. Mr. Lewis—l think I ought to have had an op portunity of conferring with Barrett before the cross-examination. The evidence has taken me quite by surprise. Here is a prisoner taken from the dock and examined as a witness. I ought to have time to confer with my client before cross-examin ing. Mr. Giffard.—l have no objection to go on with another witness or two, which would give Mr. Lewis time to consider the evilence. I cannot un dertake to call the witness iNlullany. Mr. Lewis—Then, under such circumstances, I shall decline any cross-examination of the witness at all. It is perfectly impossible for me to do jus tice. Martha Kingsley examined by Mr. Poland—l live at 8, Pulteney-court, at a house kept by Mrs. Martin. Before the explosion took place at Clerken well I saw Jackson (Barrett) there. I did not know his name, but I have seen him on several occasions going into the shop and likewise in at the private door. I have seen him once with Mrs. Martin going out. I last saw him (Jackson) on the Monday night before the explosion At Aire. Martin's be- THE SUN, LONDON TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 28, 18()8._ ,ween 8 and 9 in the evening. I cannot say expressly when I first saw him before the ex plosion, but I should think about two months before. I always saw him carrying a carpet bag— . I never saw him without it. I have never seen him in the coat that he now wears, but he wore the same hat that he has now. He always wore a light coat. His face is very much changed ; his whiskers are _ . now. very different from what they were when he used to come back wards and forwards to Mrs. Martin's. At that time he had long whiskers, no beard under his chin, and very little moustache, if any. On the Sunday night before the explosion he wore a tall black hat. Sir T. Henry—Allen, you are the only prisoner without a solicitor. Do you wish to ask the witness any question. Allen—No—thank you, Sir. Mary Ann Page—l live at No. 1, Pulteney court. My husband is a painter. The house in which I live is right opposite Mrs. Martin's. 13..!- fora the explosion took place at Cierkenwell, I had seen one of the prisoners (English) at Mrs. Mar- the best of your belief whether you see the man amongst them who was loitering abo at. Witness—That one (pointing out Barrett). That's the person. Janet Crawford--My husband's name is John, and we live at 7f, Cross-street, Regent-street. My husband is a jeweller. I know the prisoner William Desmond. He lived at No. 10, Cross-street. It is three houses from our house. He lived in the second floor front. I was standing by Desmond's door on the 12th December, the day before the explosion. I was enabled to see into the back yard of that house. I saw three or four men there, but I could not see what they were doing. I saw one of the men come out through Desmond's door. That's him. English—What ! me is it you mean? Wituess—Yes, you were the person. You went down the street and entered into conversation with. several other men, who appeared to be waiting for you. English—What time was that ? Witness—Between three and four in the after- ALLEGED PLOT TO ASSASSINATE THE KING OF PRUSSIA. The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday evening: Gustav Victor and Maxim Fordore were placed at the bar before Mr. Flower charged with conspir ing together for the purpose of obtaining money from his Excellency the Prussian Ambasso.dor in London. Mr. Abrams appeared for the Prussian Embassy ,o prosecute. tin's several times outside the door. The first time would be a few days bef ire the explosion. I fancy I have seen that man (Barrett) there, when he went in with the carman when he carried the barrel of gunpowder. Mr. Poland—Did you see the barrel carried in. Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Poland—Did you know wbat it was ? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Poland—Have you seen other men at Mrs. Martin's ? Witness—Oh, yes, sir. Before the explosion three or four men were continually going in and out Mrs. Martin's place. I did not notice English there the day the barrel was brought. The other men I have spoken of seemed friendly with Eng lish. They always spoke when they met him. English used to be in and out Mrs. Martin's at all times during, the day. Since the explosion I have not seen so many people call at Mrs. Martin's. Clarissa de Fois—My husband is a Frenchman, and collects advertisements for a French newspaper. Before the explosion at Clerkenwell I have seen English visit Mrs. Martin's house. I first observed him to come five or six weeks before the explosion, but ever since Mrs. Martin has been there men have visited the house frequently. They used to come two or three together. English used to come very frequently. Since the explosion there have not been so many visitors to Mrs. Martin's. I have fre quently seen English talk to Mrs. Martin ; but all those who visited seemed to be friendly, as they all talked together when they met. The middle one (O'Keefe's) features strike me. O'Keefe—l live in the street adjoining. Mr. Poland—Cannot you recognise any more than you have already pointed out ? Witness—No, sir. Mr. Lewis—Did you know O'Keefe to be a near neighbour of yours ? Witness—No, sir. _ _ Elizabeth Butters—My husband's name is Charles, he is a smith, and we reside at No. 2, Pulteney court. I know Mrs. Martin's shop well. Before the explosion at Clerkenwell I have frequently seen men come there. Mr. Poland—Just look at the prisoners and say which you recognise ? Witness—l have seen that man (English) there. English—ln the shop? Witness—Yes, in the shop. English—Mind what you're swearing. Sir T. Henry—You have a solicitor, you had better leave your case in his hands. English-1 don't know Mrs. Martin. Sir T. Henry—Take down that observation. Witness concluded—l have seen him (English) there some time previous to the explosion. I cannot recognise any of the other prisoners as actually visiting Mrs. Martin's shop, but I have seen that man (Jackson) at the top of the court previous to the explosion. Mr. Harper (for the Desmonds and English)— How long has Mrs. Martin lived in Pulteney-court? Witness—About 10 months. Their shop was a greengrocer's, but a great many men came there without purchasing. I have also seen women come there. I have not seen English come there since the explosion. The men who used to visit before that affair have not come since it occurred. By Mr. Lewis (for Barrett)—l think it would be two or three months before the explosion that I last saw Barrett there. Re-examined by Mr. Giffard--The reason I say the men have not come to purchase greengrocery at Mrs. Martin's is that I have never seen them carry any vegetables away. The men used to come and go into the parlour frequently many times a day. I have not seen that kind of thing going on since the explosion. Thomas Kingsley—l live at No. 8, Pulteney-court. I know the first man (Barrett). I have seen him at Mrs. Martin's—the same house that I live in. I re collect hearing of the blowing up of the House of Detention. I heard of it the day after it occurred. before it I w never firsto u l st d ash wa b e we him.e a hx b ipm o l o u s t li os there hinxa took o e I have seen Bar r ett b e f ore t h at d ay.

I have given my evidence before. I have said that English was at my house the day before the explosion. Mr. Poland—Look at the prisoners, and say whether you recognise any of the men in the dock as the person who was with him. Witness —To the best of my belief that man (Barrett) was the person, but J. should not like to swear to him. Mrs. Butters recalled—l now recognise that man with the long beard (William Desmond). William Desmond—lf ever God cursed al% oman, he'll curse you, you false swearing woman. Sir T. Henry—You bad better be quiet ; you have counsel. Mr. Lewis—Have you ever seen O'Keefe at Mrs. Martin's ? Witness —No. Mary Ann Page recalled—l can now recognise another man as visiting Mrs. Martin's. It is the man with the long red beard (William Desmond). I saw him there about a week before the explosion He was there several times during that time. Mr.lliarper (for William Desmond)--You were asked before in your first examination to point out all the prisoners you knew. Why did you not point out William Desmond then? Witness—l was not asked, and therefore did not like to say. I don't know why I did not do so on the first occasion. I can safely say that Willi am Desmond was at Mrs. Martin's shop. Mr. Lewis—Can you identify any more ? Witness—l am familiar with the faces of all. Mr. Lewis—What, the prisoner am O' Neil isoner fam ;1a r with all ? Witness—Yes. Isay their faces. Mr. Harper—After you left the box on the first Occasion, who spoke to you about the evidence you had just given ? Witness—No one. I spoke to one of the wit nesses up stairs, a woman. I said I knew Desmond, and then I was told to come down stairs again by that gentleman (Mr. Poland).. Mrs. de Fois (recalled) —I can now identify William Desmond as being one of the visitors to Mrs. Martin's house. Ann Stringfellow—My husband's name is Henry —he is a baker. We live at No. 3, Wingrove place, Clerkenwell. I recollect the day of the explo sion. Before it occurred I had noticed a mau at the corner of Woodbridge-street for about a month previously. I thought he was a detective from the fact of seeing him day after day at the same place. I noticed his dress particularly. On one occasion he had on a long brown coat and wide-awake hat ; ou another I saw him with a darker coat on, and wearing a mixed straw hat. He appeared to be merely looking about. He crossed to different corners of the street, and at any time he was not far from the prison wall. Air. Poland—Look at the prisoners, and Pay to noon. English—All right ; some other parties have sworn that I was at Clerkenwell at that time. Sir T. Henry—You had better be quiet. Mr. Harper (to English)—lf you don't remain quiet I shall throw up your defence. English—All right, sir, I'll be quiet. Charles Morely recalled ; Mr. Poland--Now look at the prisoners and say whether you see the man who lighted the barrel. Witness—That man there (Barrett). Mr. Poland—You are certain that is the man that lighted the squib ? Sir T. Henry—The boy said, " Lighted the bar rel." Mr. Poland-1 thought he said lighted the squib. Sir T. Henry—No, he said " barrel." Mr. Harper—What sort of an appearance did the man then have ? Witness—A long beard, and it came down here (putting his hand to both sides of his cheeks). He also had big eyes. Henry Bird recalled. Mr. Giffard—You have said in your evidence that you saw a man light the barrel. Do you see that man here to-day ? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Giffard.—Which is him ? Witness—That one (Barrett.) I described him in my evidence. Mr. Lewis—What was your description ? Witness—He had a long beard, and the same flush on his cheek that he has now. He wore on the occasion a long brown coat. Mr. Lewis—Have you seen O'Neil before? Witness—Yes. Mr. Lewis—Where ? Witness—At the Millbank Prison. Mr. Lewis—And then you identified him as the man that fired the barrel ? Witness—Yes, I did, but I did not on the occa sion turn the men round. Mr. Lewis—The men were all standing together. Witness—Yes ; but I had not the opportunity of turning the men round, or I should not have made the mistake on the first occasion. Mr. Giffard—Did you ever positively identify O'Neil? Witness—After I had turned both men round, I said I preferred Barrett to O'Neil. I said O'Neli was the person before I had turned Barrett round. After I had turned Barrett round I felt he was the man? Sir T. Henry—Then you have no doubt now that Barrett is the man. Witness—No. I have no doubt he is the man. I won't swear, although I have no doubt in my own mind that he is the man. I know him by the colour of his hair and the long brown coat. Mr. Giffard—You have been only asked about the man that fired the barrel. Do you see anybody else in the dock that you know ? Witness—Yes, Timothy Desmond. drawing the truck. I have said so before. Isaac Hallom recalled. Mr. Poland (to witness) — I n y our form er evi dence you have bpokeu of a man you saw assisti ng another to take a barrel out of the truck and throw a cloth over it. Do you see that person in court ? Witness—Yes ; to the best of my belief the first man there is him (Barrett.) He is different in ap pearance now. On the occasion of my first seeing him he had his whiskers cut out from under Ilia chin ; no moustache, or very little, if any. Mr. Poland—That was on the afternoon of the explosion? Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Lewis—You are quite sure the man did not have a beard all round ? Witness—Yes, quite sure. Mr. Giffard—Were his whiskers cut out in any particular way. Witness—They were cat out very tastefully, and a person looking at him sideways could not see they were cut from under the chin. 1 turned round on the occasion, however, and had a good look at him. William Scott, 27, Castle-street, Holborn, said — On the day after the explosion I was directed to take care of No. 5 and No. 7, Corporation-lane, the two houses damaged by the explosion. On Satur day, the 21st Dec., I was walking over the bricks and the rubbish in the prison exercising ground, and amongst them I found a ball. It was inside the prison that I picked up the ball. I gave it to the policeman named Knowles. Mr. Lewis—What sort of ball was it? Witness—A white racket ball made of leather. Inspector Thomson_l have two balls, Sir Thomas, in my possession, but not one with me in court. lie was Sir T. Henry—They must be produced on the next occasion. Constable Knowles—l received a small white ball from the last witness, and I gave it to Inspector Thomson. Thomas Buggins—l live at 22, Penton - street , Pentonville, and I a m an ass i s t an t to a clockmaker. On the Saturday after the explosion I went on the top of our workshop, No. I, Rosoman-street, to see if any injury bad been done, and there I found half a stave of a barrel. It smelt very strongly of pa raffine. I gave it to Inspector Potter. Inspector Potter, of the G division—l received from the last witness part of a stave of a barrel on the Saturday after the explosion. I produced it in court. I afterwards found three smaller pieces of a barrel ; each had the same smell as the half stave I have now before me. I also received another bit from a tradesman in Rosoman-street, all of which I have given to Inspector Thomson. Constable Slocum, 186 A, reserve—l produce a perfect stave of a barrel. I found it, the Sunday after the explosion, under the prison wall, about five yards from the spot at which the explosion took place. The case was proceeding when we went to press. We are happy to state that the improvement in Lord Derby's hjalth continues, and that there is every ex pectation that the noble Premier will take his seat among the Peers on the opening of Parliament.

MIDDLE TEMPLE, Jan. 27.—The undermentioned gentlemen were this day called to the dagreo of the Utter Bar by the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple :—Liudsey Middleton Aspland, Esq., M.A., LL.D., of the University of London, Follow of University College, holder of a certificate of honour awarded by the Council of Legal Education, Michael:vas Term, 1865 ; Henry David Greene, Esq., 8.A., LL.B., of Trinity College, Cambridge ; the Hon. Walter John Bethel!, 8.A., of Balliol College, Oxford; Hubert Thomas Knox, Esq.; Robert Casswell, Esq., 8.A., of Trinity Hall, Cambridge; William Millwood, Esq., 8.A., of Pembroke College, Oxford ; Robert Frank Stone, Esq. ; Nicholas Flood Davin, Esq. ; and John Timbrell Pierce, Esq. GRAY'S INN, Jan. 27.—At a pension holden this day, Croft Wor gan Dew, of Jesus College, Cambridge, M.A., the second son of the late Rev. John Worgan Dew, P.C., curate of St. James's, Halifax, Yorkshire, was called to the degree of barrister-at-law. Mr. Lewis appeared on behalf of Baron Blom, to repudiate the charge of any such attempt being made by the llanoverians as had been alleged by the prisoner Victor. llermin Reek said—l am cleik in the office of the Prussian Embassy. On the Bth of January the prisoner Victor came to the Embassy and said be had a secret to tell, but that lie was in a destitute condition. I cominunicatA with Baron Schmithals, and when the pris rmer called again on the 10th of January he said that a conspiracy was iu progress, and that a man named Enerick w_ts going to Berlin to assassinate the King of Prussia, and he had Orsini bombs in his possession. lie said that Emerick was the head of a conspiracy. As Victor repeated he was much in uced I gave him money for the information he had communicated, certainly not as charity. Every time Victor came he asked for money, as he could not be expected to come without being paid, nor could he go to the dif ferent gentlemen from whom he could procure in formation without remuneration. I told Victor that if his information was correct he would receive an adequate reward. He led me to believe that he was enabled to give such information as would lead to the apprehension of Emerick before the plot was put into formation. The prisoner Victor said the money he got from t h e w itn es s was not for what he had stated, but that in fact it was as charitable relief, and that the wit ness never gave him any money without his asking for it. Baron Schmithals said—l recollect the prisoner Victor coming to me on the Bth of January, at the Prussian Embassy. He sent in a letter, and then I allowed Victor to have an interview. lie said he had been in London about six months, and I wrote down a statement from the 'prisoner's dictation, which he signed. The prisoner also handed me a letter. On the following day he called again and made another statement, which 1 also took down. I also received a number of letters from the Bth to the 18th of January; but I am not aware who brought them. I received them from my servants; the prisoner, however, when he called, invariably asked whether I had received his letters. Mr. Kneip said he lived at Hinde-street, Man chester-square, with Baron Klink, and was totally unacquainted with either of the prisoners. Baron Blom—l now reside in Half Moon-street, Piccadilly. I have some recollection of one of the prisoners coming to me begging. I have never authorised him in any way to make use of my name. Louisa Lavis said—l recollect the prisoner Victor coming to 14, Hinde-street, Manchester square, and he asked whether a gentleman named Emerick lived there. I told him there was not, but that two other German gentlemen resided there — Mr. Kneip and Baron Klink. Police-constable Rhymus—l am in the A reserve. The prisoner Victor came to me a short time ago, and told me he had been living with a man named Emerick, who had been a soldier in the llanoverian army, and that six months ago he had arrived from Paris. lie said Emerick was always very mysterious in his manner and hard up, and that he had supported him for some time. Emerick, however, had at last told him that he was going to Berlin to assassinate the King of Prussia, and that he had brought Orsini shells from Paris for the purpose. Victor went on to state that during the last four months Emerick's condition had greatly altered, that he had now fine clothes and plenty of money. lle (Emerick) told him that the money had been given to him by Baron Blom and two German gentlemen, who lived near the square. I asked him if he could show me the residence of the gentlemen referred to, and he said he could. Prisoner Victor said he could prove all he had stated, and he then asked me if he should get a reward. I told him if it was true he would, as the information was very valu able. I next saw him at his lodgings in Whitechapel, where he repeated his statement; and I then asked him if he could introduce me to the other men who knew Emerick, but he said he could not. I next saw Victor on the loth, when he asked me to recommend him to the Prussian Am bassador for some clothes, as he could not prove his statement without he was respectably dressed. He told me he used to go to the houses of Baron Blom and the two German gentlemen very fre quently. I asked him if he could give me the Baron's address, and he said Eaton-place, which I knew was not the case. I saw the prisoner again on the 16th of January at the Prussian Embassy, and he there repeated his statement. I accom panied Mr. Kneip to the Cafe Itoyal a few days ago, and whilst there I saw Victor put his head in. I went out, when Victor said, "I can now introduce you to another gentleman who knew Emerick." Victor took me to the London Pavilion, and on our way he told me he had found out the house where the two gentlemen lived of whom he had spoken. I asked him if he had been there, to which he re plied he had. We saw a Polish Jew at the Pavi lion, and he gave me a description of Emerick, but it differed entirely from that given by the prisoner Victor. This man said Emerick lived in Leicester square. I observed that Victor and the man we were talking with were making signs, and then I watched them more narrowly. I asked the Jew for his address, when he said a letter would find him if left at Gatti's. The next time I went to the Prussian Embassy I saw the other prisoner, Fordore, there. I asked him what he did there, and he said he had come from his friend Victor. I asked him where Victor was, to which he replied, " He's come up from Wbitechapel, and that he was close by in a public-house in King-street." I said, "What's he doing there?" To which he said he only wrote the letter which he had just delivered. I said "Then you know the contents of the letter," and he replied in the affirmative. I then left the house in company with Fordore, taking with me a bag con taining clothes as a blind to insure Victor speaking to me. I saw Victor, and feeling that I could not ap prehend both, I made an excuse to get them both back to the Prussian Embassy, and on arriving there I told both prisoners I was a police officer, and that I should take them into custody on a charge of conspiring to defraud the Prussian Am bassador. After I had cautioned them Victor said, " That is no charge at all, and I will make some body pay for this." On Fordore I found a letter, in Victor's handwriting. Fordore said all he knew about the matter was that he took a letter from Victor, and that he did not know that there was any thing wrong in it. Mr. Flower said that all that was said against the prisoner Fordore was that he had carried the letters, which any innocent person might have done. The constable said he thought the prisoner was merely the tool of the other prisoner, Victor. Mr. Abrams was quite prepared to leave Fordcre to be dealt with at once. Mr. Flower said there was nothing to implicate him seriously in the case, therefore he should order him to be discharged. Mr. Abrams—That is all the evidence I hAve to offer. Mr. Flower then fully committed the prisoner Victor for trial. Mr. Lewis then charged the prisoner with falsely libelling Baron Blom, and called some of the former witnesses to repeat their evidence. Baron Schmithals—l am secretary to the Prus sian Embassy—On the Bth of July the prisoner made the following statement to me at the Em bassy, which he afterwards signed : " I lodged here in London for upwards of six months with a certain Wilhelm Emerick, who atated himself to be au Hanoverian officer, and that he had arrived from Paris. At first this person was en tirely without =oafs, but after awhile roccind money from various sources, amongst others from a certlin Hanoverian baron, who resides in Eaton place. Latterly Emerick became certainly more mysterious, and talked about a duty he had to fulfil.- he must avenge George, his King, upon the King of Prussia. I drew his attention to the fact that in reality Count Bismarck was the instigator, but he persisted in his view. Yesterday, now, he has suddenly started for Berlin, and I have just now received a letter from him. As Emerick is a desperate man, and asserts himself to be in pos session of Orsini shells, I feel myself in duty bound to give information about his criminal inten tions. Further interest in the matter I have not, as lam not a Prussian subject. Emerick was a member of the society of Faithful Hano verians,' and lived here without work ; funds, I believe, have been placed at his disposal. (Signed) " GUSTAV VICTOR." " The Baron of whom I men:ioned yesterday is, as 1 have just ascertained, the Bar .n Blom. 1 was myself with E'nerick at Baron Blow's about three weeks ago, and watched outside the house. Ido not kno.v:if Eincriek ha l aliy previous interviews with Baron Blom. The interview he had three weeks ago lasted about one I:our. Emerick had on that occasion doubtles received considerable assist ance from Baron Bloin, as he changed, directly on leaving, a sovereign, at a public house. (Signed) " GCS'i.kV VICTOR." Baron Otto Blom—Previous to the last Prussian war I represented the King of Hanover in this coun try at the Court of the Q , l,.!en. King George of Ilinover was by force dethroned, and by some it is alleged that he has no longer a right to the Crown. I think the prisoner has been in my house. I never had any conversation with a person named Emerick. I never gave him any money. Emerick was never in my company at all. I indignantly deny having had anything to do with the allegedsupplying him with Orsini bombs or anything else. I never had any conversation with Emerick or anybody else for the assassination of the King of Prussia. I was not a member of a society called the " Faithful Hanoverians." I have never, either directly or indirectly, supplied money to any person, or class of persons, having for their object the assassination of the King of Prussia. Mr. Lewis—l have been: obliged, Baron, to ask you those questions to disprove the statement of the prisoner. Baron Blom—l quite understand the reason of your putting the questions. The prisoner was fully committed for trial on this charge also. SPORTIMPOTELLIGENOE—This Day. VICTORIA CLUB BETTING—This DAY.

Additions are reported to the list of disasters which occurred on the Cornish coast on the 22d inst. Visitors to the celebrated Logan Rock will remem ber a little creek or inlet, called Portchapel Cove, in which large quantities of wreck were seen early on Friday morning. Information was sent to Pen zance, and in a short time the proper authorities were at the Cove. The wreck washed ashore com prised pieces of masts, spars, chains, cables, rigging, and sails ; at length a paper was picked up, which proved to be a page of a ship's log book, and bore the dates of the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th of April, 1859. It belonged to the brig Majesty, bound from Monte Video for Cork or Falmouth, and it was signed " Thomas Alexander, mate ;" shortly after wards there was picked up the stern board of a ship's board, with the words" Majesty, Plymouth," painted in yellow letter on a blue ground. It is concluded that the brig Majesty, belonging to Mr. J. W. Guswell, of Plymouth, has been dashed to pieces, and that all the crew, seven or eight men, perished. The schooner Juno, Green, master, of Plymouth, foundered off the Land's End; crew saved. The sloop Osprey has arrived with the wreck of the schooner Priscilla, of Jersey, in tow ; the schooner was laden with fish, potatoes, and oil ; her masts and rigging had been cut away, and she had lost one of her crew overboard when fallen in with by the sloop. On Thursday afternoon an in quest was held at Penzance, before Mr. Roscoria, county coroner, on the bodies of two seamen be longing to the unfortunate Prussian barque Die Sonne, which went to pieces on Pra Sands, in volving the loss of nine lives. The second mate, one of the two men saved, gave evidence, the pith of which has already appeared in The Sun. it appeared that the pilot and his son were taken on board on Tuesday morning, near the Scilly . Islands. During the severe gale which com menced that night the main and mizenmasts were cut away and the anchor was let go; 90 fathoms of chain were dropped and the ship was for some time checked, but she made a sheer and the chain broke. At this time four men were disabled, and the re mainder were unable to clear the chain so as to let go another anchor. Soon after this the ship struck on some rocks called " The Stones," and the rudder broke. Nothing more could be done, and the ship rapidly drifted on the shore with the terrible con sequences which have been narrated. The details of the distressing shipwrecks and loss of life upon the Gower coast are slowly coming to hand, and fully bear out the extent and magnitude of our previous reports. The following is believed to be a correct list of the wrecks :—The Eliza, of Jersey, which was in charge of Daniel Rees, a pilot, of blandly, lost with all hands—supposed five—and also the pilot Rees. The Jenne Celine, of Jersey, a French lugger, totally lost upon the rocks and all hands drowned. The coroner has formally opened the inquest upon the bodies of four French seamen east ashore, who are supposed to have been the crew of this vessel. The brig St. Catherine, of Fay, sailed at the same time, and, as no subsequent tidings have been heard of her, she has doubtless gone down, with all hands, supposed to be six in number. The Sophie, of Regneville (number of crew not known) foundered ; entire crew lost. The Charles Walker, of Llanelly, totally lost, together with the whole of the crew, believed to be six in number. The brig Onward, of Llanelly, total wreck ; crew lost, together with the captain's son and the pilot, Christopher Lewis ; the bodies of the captain (David Clement) and the pilot (Christopher Lewis) have been washed ashore and identified at the in quest which was formerly opened. The Fanny Mary, of Almwch (North Wales), completely broken up, and all hands (supposed five in number) perished —the boy jumped on board the pilot boat, and was saved. The Huntress totally wrecked in .Brough ton-bay ; crew lost, number unknown, supposed to be at least six in number. The .Roscina also ashore, and total wreck ; crew lost, number unknown. The Brothers of Llanelly, com plete wreck in Brough ton-bay ; crew saved. The Water Lily asho re ; crew lost, supposed to be four n number ; hull of vessel might possibly be saved and got off. Th e Fanny, also ashor e ; entire crew lost. The Anne, of Barnstaple, wrecked in Broughton-bay ; entire crew (supposed five in number) lost. The Amethyst, of Dublin, ashore, and no hopes of her being got o ff; the fate of her crew has not been ascertained. There is no longer any doubt that upwards of 50 seamen have been lost, and, probably, when the full at t details least have men and been ound t h t a o t Saturday evening about 18 bodies had been washed ashore. TBE CHILDREN OP THE LATE TOlf SAYERS. — At the Rolls Chambers, yesterday, before Mr. Marshall the chief clerk, the case of "Sayers v. Sturt" was dis cussed as to an issue to ascertain whether the children born after the marriage—when the parties were separated —could claim with the other children born before Sayers married. There was about £3,000 collected after the fight with Heenan, which was settled on Sayers, and after his death to bo divided among his children. The question was as to Sayers' children. Mr. Edward Johnson applied for an issue. Mr. Gay, from the office of Mr. Dale, appeared for the plaintiffs and trustees. The chief clerk referred the matter to the Master of the Rolls. The son of a farmer named Howard, living at Sonny Bridge, who by the loss of one of his legs has been incapacitated from following his ordinary pursuits, recently sent to the Princess of Wales "a true lover's knot," which ho had carved out of wood with his own knife, and which ho offered to her royal highness as a mark of respectful attachment. Howard has just received the following unexpected acknowledgment, dated from Sand ringham Palace :—" Si r, —I have received the commands of the Princess of Wales to thank you for your kiud atten tion, and to say that she has pleasure in returning the offering which you have sent her, and that she regrets the eircintustance under which your ingenious work was exe- Ated. Her royal highness has further directed me to enclose a cheque for ten guineas, as a little pecuniary ac knowledgment, to which she hopes there will be no objection.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, HERBERT L FISILEA.--gr. 110911 ROWDad." s d i llf UES.
