MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING GOLD.-ROBBERY AND RECEIVING.— Walter Peck, 45, and Walter Peck, 19, of No. 20, New Gloucester-street, Roston, working jewellers, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing two ounces of gold, the property of Mr. Richard N. Welchman, manufacturing jeweller, of No. 72, Dean-street, Soho, and Robert Elliott, a jeweller's polisher, of No. 25, Wells-street, was charged with receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. Mr. Allen, of Carlisle-street, prosecuted, and Mr. Sayer, from 'the office of Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, defended the Pecks. Mr. Allen, having opened the case, called Mr. Welchman, who said he employed 30 men, and amongst others the prisoners, the elder Peck having been many years in his employ. The younger Peck, an apprentice, and the other priso ner, had also been some years in his employ. The gold is weighed out to each man as it is wanted. In consequence of heavy losses he had sustained he was more strict in his watching. The prisoners Peck had been in the habit of producing from three to four ounces of filings in a fortnight, and last week he noticed among them the appearance of copper, and tested it, and he would show that, instead of it being of the value of .60s. an ounce, be worth about 40s. The lump produced is made by the filings of a fortnight being fused in a crucible, and is the produce of the prisoners' filings. Before giving the Pecks into custody yesterday he asked them if they had any explanation to give after ac cusing them of having tampered with his gold. The elder Peck denied it at first, but afterwards said that his son had been robbing him (prosecutor). He afterwards saw the younger Peck, and told him his father had said he had been robbing him (prosecutor) and he said he had but only a little, but afterwards said that he had done it for mouths, and sold it to Elliott. He then sent for Elliott, and asked him how it was he became a dealer in gold, and he began crying, and said that he was doing it, but had not done it to a great Extent, and that he had used it in making ornaments for himself. He then asked what he gave the younger Peck for it, and he said 40s. for gold, which was not worth less than 605., and on the officer asking him whom he had sold the gold to he made no reply. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said that from the quality of gold he used his filings were always worth 60s. an ounce. Police-constable Cane, 35 C, said that he went to the prosecutor's yesterday afternoon, and asked the elder Peck if he could account for his filings being in the state they were in, and he said he could not account for it. The prosecutor said there was a great deal of copper with it, and he then said it was his son. Businegto cl,9ne. 391 1 104 52! 2 1121 106 f } 104. 4 10/ 11 f 12 32 77 i In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said the prisoners never had any copper given to them. Cane said the elder Peck also told him that his son had taken the gold, and that he had put the copper with the filings to make up the weight. The younger Peck said he had taken the gold, and not his father, and that he had only been taking it for three months, and that he had sold it to Elliott. Elliott, on being asked how long he had been dealing in gold, at first denied but afterwards admitted buy ing some off the younger Peck at 40s. an ounce, but that he could not tell what ho had done with the gold. The prisoners were then given into his custody. 1051 Ulf Mr. Sayer declined to cross-examine the wit nesses at the present stage of the case, and the pri soners were remanded. Mr. Sayer applied for bail for the elder Peck, but Mr. Tyrwhitt declined to accept it. WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES BY A CHARWOMAN.— Sarah Telson, a woman between thirty and forty years of age, was placed at the bar charged with robbing her employer to a considerable extent. Mr. George Coteau, 122, Brompton-road, hair dresser and perfumer, said that for the last nine weeks the prisoner had worked twice a week at his house. During that time much property had been missed. Yesterday evening the prisoner's landlady brought a bundle of things which were identified as prosecutor's. She was at that time at work in pro secutor's house, and was given into custody. On going to a room recently occupied by the prisoner and a woman named O'Brien, a number of hand kerchiefs and miscellaneous property were found. James Thomas, assistant to Mrs. Ileigham, pawnbroker, produced some articles pledged in the name of Telson. 106 j I Watts, .253, proved finding some of the pro perty. Prisoner was remanded. Eliza O'Brien was then charged with robbing Mrs. Ward. loci 167, A great quantity of valuable property was found at 24, Arthur-street, Treboor-square, in the course of the search in the last case. Mrs. Eliza Ward said the prisoner had worked for her for five months, and her loss of property was so great that she discharged her. When the woman Telson was taken, and the miscellaneous property found, witness went to the house and ,re cognised other things. 131 I Prisoner was remanded. los} Ti THAMES. A BRUTAL RUFFIAN. —Henry C. S. Walker, labourer, aged 25, of No. 5, Railway-street, Bromley, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with violently assaulting Bridget Fitzgerald. The wretched couple have lived together some time as man and wife, and the prisoner knew the complainant was a prostitute when he took her off the streets to his home. The consequences of this immoral connection have been grievous. The com plainant'has often been intoxicated and has loaded her paramour with railings and reproaches. He has frequently ill-used her in a brutal manner, and last night there was a quarrel between them, and he used sanguinary threats. He beat her with his fists about the head and body, gave her two black eyes, and struck her a tremendous blow on the head with the leg of a table, inflicting a severe wound. She lost a good deal of blood, and was in a weakly condition. Henry Peters, 185 K, produced the leg of a chair, with which the woman was struck. There was blood and hair adhering to one end of it, which was turned like a screw. The policeman said the woman lost a good deal of blood. The Prisoner, iu defence, said he could not keep his " wife" off the streets, or make a sober woman of her, although he had often tried to do so. He had often brought her home his hard earnings, and she had spent the money in drink. Mr. Paget said the prisoner could not expect a comfortable home, or any happiness with a drunken prostitute, and that he had no occasion to live with her, but she was not to be ill-used and half mur dered by a ruffian. The Prisoner—What am I to do with her ? Mr. Paget—Leave her ; do anything but ill-use her. You have used an unlawful weapon, and in flicted a very severe wound on her head. There is no justification for such a brutal assault, and, bad as she is, she is under the protection of the law. I sentence you to he imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for four calendar months, and at the end of that time to find good bail, your own personal recognisance in £4O, and Lwo sureties of £25 each, to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for two months longer. MAILS FOR MALTA. —By command of the Post master-General, in October next, the usual day of despatch of the mails for Malta, via Marseilles (on the Messina line), will be departed from on two occasions, in order to fit the arrival at Messina to the departure thence of the Italian packet for Malta. Instead of the mails being made up in London as usual on the evenings of the 7th and 27th, they will, in October, be despatched a day earlier—viz., on the evenings of the 6th and 26th of October, with supplemen tary mails on the moorings of the 7th and 2 Tth. No altera tion will occur as regards the mail of the middle of the month—viz., the 17th, which will be despatched in duo course. The Forte, screw (unarmoured wooden) frigate, Captain J. Alexander, C. 8., steamed into Portsmouth Harbour yesterday morning to get some damages re paired, which were caused by her collisivu with Nor west= barque at Spitbead. CENIRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE CASE OF MADAME RACHEL. The hearing of this extraordinary case was re sumed this morning. The court was crowded iu every part, a great number of ladies being pre sent. Mrs. Borrodaile was this morning cross-examined by Mr. Digby Seymour. The opening was prin cipally directed to the writing of certain letters directed from different places, all of which she said were written at the dictation of Madame Rachel, and from her shop in Bond-street. The only time she ever altered any of the words in the letters was when the grammar was too bad to pass. The letter mentioning the circumstance of her brother-in-law, Mr. Cope, being in London searching for Lord Ranelagh, and that he had purchased a photograph of his lordship, whose nose he did not admire, was, like all the rest, written from the dictation of Madame Rachel. Another one, commencing " I am afraid to go to Rachel's for fear of Mr. Boore," was written under the same circumstances. The Judge—Had you been told that there was an execution out against you ?—I think Madame Rachel told me so, but I cannot be sure. The Judge—Execution could not take place until you had been served with a writ. Getting a piece of paper, beginning " Victoria, by the grace of God, we command you," &c., would, under ordinary circumstances, make an impression on a lady. Were you served with such a paper ?—I now think I was by a man named Abrahams, in Great George street. I was four times arrested, and I think I had two writs. A great deal of time was here occupied in conse quence of the learned gentleman repeatedly asking the prosecutrix whether she wrote such and such passages in a great quantity of letters, after she had given a general answer that she never had written one single letter used during the former and pre sent trial except at the dictation of the prisoner. Mr. Seymour—You speak in one of the letters to Lord Ranelagh of " the little, lady with the golden hair." Now, are you that personage ? No ; 1 cannot say I am. Mr. Seymour—But you use something to dress your hair with ?—Yes, I at one time used a little aurilicum, but that was only to produce brightness to the hair, not to change its colour. (Laughter.) I don't think I'm " the little lady." Madame Rachel told me there was such a person, and I wrote accordingly. Mr. Seymour—Now, Mrs. Borrodaile, I have a very important question to put to you. I've a letter here in your handwriting which says : '• I've received a letter from my daughter, and it is full of insults, as it is well known in Pembroke shire that I have been living with you for some months." Do you mean to say that you wrote that by Madame Rachel's dictation to the person to whom you thought you were going to be married ?—Yes, I did, and am as much surprised now as any one that I could have written such falsehoods. If you say I ever did live with any one, I'll make you prove it. You said nearly as much during the last trial. • Mr. Seymour—l mean to say much more during this one.—Well, all I can say is, I will make you prove your words if you make any charge against me. I wrote everything at the dictation of that vile, wicked woman (the prisoner.) I can say no more. In one of the letters that followed reference was made to " Dear William" mixing with the Fenians, and that money had been supplied to Stephens. In answer to the learned sergeant, the prosecutrix said she knew a person named O'Keefe, but he was in Paris. O'Keefe went there before the last trial. It was O'Keefe that advised the present trial as the best way of recovering her property. She never for a moment thought that the prisoner would have the audacity to keep her clothes after the first persecution commenced. She did not know that O'Keeffe had been ,to Madame Rachel's residence and offered to settle the case if a certain sum of money was paid. She did believe that such a thing had taken place. We shall continue the report in a late edition. 111A1?.K . E7 8-7 HIS DAY. HAY. Supplies of haystuffs at Smithfield and Whitechapel are ample, and the trade to-day was very dull, at quotations.

THE IRISH CHURCH. —The Scotsman throws some light on the "flank -movement" in regard to the Irish Church which it is supposed Mr. Disraeli has in contemplation if he can only push on the necessary education of his party, and especially of ono or two of his chief colleagues. "The solu tion of the problem attributed to Mr. Disraeli," says tho London correspondent of that journal, "is a plan of dises tablishment by which the Episcopal Church of Ireland shall cease to be predominant in Ireland as a separate and self contained Establishment, but shall retain its endowments and also its connection with the State as a branch of the Church of England. In other words, the clergy are to sur render whatever territorial standing now gives them pre cedence over the priests and dissenting ministers, but will continue to enjoy their emoluments and also a connection with the State somehow or other through the Archbishop of Canterbury and the English hierarchy, whose delegates they will become. How far this scheme ,will ever be developed is more than I can say." This report will, of course, be at once denied, just as the year before last the statement was denied that the Government were pre paring for a reduction of the franchise ; but there is certainty something of Mr. Disraeli's fantastic subtlety in tha project. _ . The Valiant, 24, screw (armoured iron) frigate, Capt. John J. Kennedy, C. 8., weighed her anchor from Spithead yesterday, and was swung in Stokes Bay to ascertain the deviation of her compass. She afterwards anchored d r a ro g w fo aina r t Spithead, but i s expected to sa i l to-day orher station on the Shannon. SALMON FISHING IN DEVON.—It is estimated that the salmon caught this year by the twenty licensed nets in the rivers Taw and Torridge have realised over £1,300. The fishermen have never had such a good year before. THE COW' AND THE BEARS.—A singular accident occurred three days back at Berne in the bears' pit which acquired so melancholy a notoriety a few years back by the death of the English Captain Lock. The cattle market is close by, and a butcher was leading off a cow which he had just bought, when the animal broke away, and, leap ing the parapet, fell among the bears at the bottom. The e latter wore apparently stupefied at this unexpected visit, and, as the intruder presented her horns in a rather ma nacing attitude, they thought it prudent to beat a retreat into their dens. As the entrance below was not large enough to allow the intruder to issue by that way, she was drawn up by moans of ropes fixed round her body. REMOVAL OF ROCKS IN HELL GATE.—Congress having recently made an appropriation of $85,000 towards the removal of obstructions in the liell Gate channel, General Newton, of the United States Army, will soon begin operations to that end. With Pol-rock, Frying-pan, Way's-reef, Shell-drake, and other reefs broken to pieces or pulled up, a grand channel of over 300 feet in width will be secured. The contractor for the work has not yet been selected, but it is believed that arningements will be made to commence the work as soon as it is decided at what point to begin. It is said that in the blasting ope rations nitro-glycerine will be used as & eub§titute for gunpowder. THURSDAY.

When paper collars and cuffs were first invented they excited general merri ment, but they have become merchandize in which millions of dollars were invested and realized. Now a still odder substitute far tidiness is suggested, to be manu factured from the wooden strips, exactly similar to those with which walls are lined instead of the old fashioned paper. White candles from bitumen ; exquisite colours and even delicious champagne from petroleum ; India-rubber pavements; ivory from chemically treated turnips; absorbent stucco-work from potatoes and melon rinds; artificial sponges from prepared bread-crumbs are no less curious than useful things, and they, and the long line of endeavour tlfat they represent, indicate a constant effort to alleviate the expenses and annoyances of all the little as well as the heavier operations of life whose con venience was overlooked in earlier days. And, as we look around, are we not amazed at the tardiness with which this line of invention has been taken up. We now see a positivAy wonderful array of applications, 'tis true, but what are they compared with the wants to meet them ? Our streets still roar and reek with the bar barous noise and filth of horse power ; our homes are made pesjferous with wretchel drains and sewers ; our eyes are destroyed by flickering and inadequate light after sundown; our systems are disorganized and infected by ill-prepared food. On all sides cleanliness, quiet diges tion, shelter, and locomotion are calling for still fresh de vices to relieve us from thronging dangers and discomforts. Therefore lot us have still more queer things in the way of invention, no matter how "outlandish" they may seem at the start, if they but discharge the office. The more the merrier. All the grand hits that have been made in the world were 'queer things' to the hang-backs of man kind, and, generally, the queerer they seemed, when first anuouuned, the greater the benefaction providecl_to strug gling amtaas."

Howard of the Freedmen's Bureau has travelled extensively, and had the best opportunities for gathering infor mation, on his return to Wa-shington he may settle the disputed point as to what that condition really is and to whom it is due. lie lately visited the Louisiana Legislature, where he was courteously received, and he started afterwards for Texts. Several of the Southern Legislatures are still in session, but that of South Carolina is preparing to adjourn, while the Governor of Alabama hasmou vetted his Legislature for au extra session on the 16th instant to pass a registry law. In the Tennessee Legislature it was decided to send a com mittee to the President, to ask in view of the con dition of the State for a military force sufficient to protect the people, in preference to employing the militia. The Lower Hou:se had passed the Militia Bill, and as 250 Republicans from all parts of the State had sworn before a committee that they had not only suffered in their own persons, but had seen men, and even women, tortured and murdered for differing in opinion from the Ku-Klux-Klan, it is probable that the Senate would also pass the bill. On the 15th July the Representatives of Georgia in structed the Committee of Privileges and Elections to prepare a report on the eligibility of negroes to seats in the Legislature. After six weeks a minority of the committee reported against the claims of negroes, the majority declining to take action in the subject. On the point of order, whe ther the House could consider a minority report before that of a majority was presented, the Speaker ruled that it could, and the matter was debated on the 26th August. The House began by deciding that no member whose right to a seat was in question should vote,and thus struck out the votes of the negro members which led to a series of fierce debates. On the 3d inst., when the vote was taken, 80 members sustained the minority report, and 23 opposed it. A resolution had been passed to hold two sessions a day while the discussion of the question of eligi bility continued. On the same day Mr. Turner (coloured) occupied the entire session, concluding with these words : " This thing means revolution. Look out, carpet baggers ! When we go they will turn you out, impeach Governor Bullock, and upset the Constitution." At the afternoon session several members joined in the debate. On this vote 25 negroes were unseated ; four only remained who claimed to be white men, and their case is to be investigated. Turner, as by walked out, brushed the dust from his feet, exclaiming, " I will do all I can to make my race hate Democracy." Other negroes bowed to the Speaker and waved their hats to the members. Throughout the State there are armed negro bands who drill in localities nightly, and the Senate has passed a resolution to disband all such associa tions. The sheriff of Twigg's County in an attempt to arrest some negroes shot one. A lad, the son of respectable white parents, who went a shooting from Savannah, was found horribly mutilated, and excite ment prevailed in the city, as he was said to have been murdered by the armed negroes around. In South Carolina it was estimated that there are from 70,000 to 80,000 armed negroes, who are supposed to act under the control of a central authority in Charles ton. The state of Mississippi is even worse, if the Republican accounts are to be believed. Missouri is almost as bad ; in Virginia constant riots are occurring ; but in Arkansas there has been a sort of " tea-pot" rebellion, the courts being closed by armed men. Governor Clayton has instructed the registrars to reject all applicants for registration who cannot prove their loyalty during the late re bellion. Dr. A. M. Johnson was killed at Osceola on the 26th ult., when hailing a boat to take his family North. Judge J. S. Morris was severely wounded near Fort Gibson, and would have been killed bad he not been armed, and able to return the fire of the assassin, who had no personal ill will against him, but was merely acting in the Ku- Klux interest. Little hope is entertained of improvement in the State of things down South until after the elections. Mr. E. L. Jewel, a Democrat, had been turned out of the Se nate of Louisiana for election frauds in the Second District, and a mulatto Radical named Pinchback installed in his place. Heavy rains have prevailed in some parts of Georgia, doing material damage to the cotton crop ; but from New Orleans and Mobile the reports about the cotton and other crops are very encouraging. The cotton crop of Texas will, it is believed, largely exceed that of last year, but as the army worm has appeared in the cotton fields of Southern Alabama it is feared that the reverse will there be the case. A correspon dent, with reference to the cotton crop of 1868, says that the first bale was received in New York from Savannah August 28, classed as " good mid land," and sold at 35 cents per lb. The cotton year closed 31st August, but the returns have not yet been completed. Down to August 28, how ever, the aggregate receipts of cotton at all the Southern ports since September 1, 1867, had amounted to 2,192,069 bales, as compared with 1,902,431 bales for the corresponding period of the previous year, showing an excess of 289,638 bales. The total exports for the year have been 101,000 bales more than last year, and the stock at the shipping ports on August 28 was 40,969 bales, be ing 39,741 bales less than on that date in 1867. With reference to the crop of 1868, the receipts of which will begin to be counted from to-day, it is said that the picking has begun earlier than usual, and that the show of open cotton at present is larger than an average. The hands are working well, and planters being in want of money are said to be making exertions to get their crop into market as soon as possible. The receipts for September, 1868, some factors think, will be three times larger than for September, 1867. The rice crop of the United States this year is estimated at about 70,000 tierces; 38,100 from South Carolina, 10,800 from Georgia, and 21,100 from Louisiana. The average value is stated at tio a tierce. This is the best crop gathered since the war, but it falls far short of the crop of 1860. Foreign Mail Packet List.
