POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Donoghue and Donov an, I - r isk tailors, were brought before the - .4ord Mayor, elm rged with having assaulted a policeman, and the fornaer with having stolen a policeman's hat. The defendants were, at the hour of one o'do morning, seen by the policeman in Duke's-plade9, fighting a couple of bull-dogs, amidst a crowd of vagabonds of both sexes, and the whole neighbourhood was i n 3 ,,,t a t e of the greatest alarm, many having started mut of their beds in the belief that the whole city was on, 'Bre, for the shouting and roaring of the multitude. compls tely drowned the growling of the combatants- The police man, upon endeavouring to separate the dogs, received the unsavoury contents of a jug which was thrown at him by Donoghue, and Donovan assisted Donoghue in escaping from the irritated functionary, who declare 1 that the polecat was a nosegay to what he had. rec ,rued. There were several other tailors at the dog-fight, a ad the policeman would have been completely overwhe) med if another of the force had not run to his aid, and enabled him to get his staff from his pocket, at the flourish of which all the trade disappeared. Donoghue, when the complainant was on the ground, picked up Ms hat, put It on his own head, and was scampering away when a third policeman observed him and took him into cus ., ,ody. Donoghue said there was no dog fight, and that there would have been no row at all if the police themselves had not struck him. As for the hat, he had lost his own and he picked up the one that was n earest to him, and if it was a policeman's nobody could suspect him of wishing to steal a thing of that kind, which would be sure to make a fool of him. (A laugh.). It was stated that Donovan had, in assisting his friend to escape, administered the cross buttock, a man ceuvre in wrestling, by which, with a sudden jerk, a person is flung over the hip of the operator and come whack upon the ground, with his heels in the air. ~ The Lord Mayor said that at the end of his mayoralty he would have to declare that the most, unmanageable people with whom his experience as chief magistrate had made him acquainted, were those who belonged -to the trade and mystery of the thimble, notwithstanding the quiet and unobstrusive nature of their general _employ ment. (Laughter.) The moment a set of, distn.bers of the peace were brought before him he guessed that the majority were tailors, and he was never yet - mistaken in the opinion. The defendants were committed to the House of Cor rection, Donoghue for seven days, and Doeesaa for three days. John Bryant, a drunken fellow in tatters, was_,. harged with having disturbed a neighbourhood on Saturday, and with having insisted -upon going - to bed In the street. A policeman said the defendant had given• a great deal of trouble to the police, and that he had on lite parti cular occasion alluded to not only kept up r.. roaring noise in the street and shoved people about, hit that he had actually torn every stitch of clothes from bis body, and laid himself down for the purpose of goiny t eep. The Lord Mayor—Were there any females nt Policeman—Certainly, my lord, a great nu. The Lord Mayor—What is this man ? Policeman—He is a drunken tailor, please your lord ship. (Laughter). The Lord Mayor—l thought it would be nnr ec-ssary to ask the question. (Laughter.) He must I.) for 21 days to Bridewell. GUILDHALL.--Mary Ann 41(le:•, a your girl of modest demeanour, but destitute appeal-::rice, was brought before Sir 'Chhpmaia Itrarshall, charg2d with breaking a street lamp, value is. 6d. , John Stay, a superannuated City policemap, stated that about a quarter-past three o'clock oni Sunday morning the prisoner was loitering in'Skinnbr-street. He asked what she was loitering about for,l and she replied that she was destitute and gitatving. She had been" at the Smithfield police station on Frid4y night, and she was sent to the West London TJtiion.• the re ceived an order for admission to the Cross House of Refuge, but was refused admittane4. From Thursday morning until Stu May Morning she Iliad had nothing to eat Tint a halfpenny loaf. Ild!reiiiifszed her to go, but she said she wanted to go to prison' and she took - up a stone and broke 'a parie of glass, thelliroPerty of the gas company. He then took' her into i cw.tody, and brought her to the station. Sir Chapman Marshall asked the prisoner if ; she had any Money to pay for the pane of glass ? The prisoner replied that she had not, and in answer to further questions stated that she was born in. Shore ditch ; that neither father nor mother were liming, that she had no friends, and that she had for some tinge been living in the country. Sir Chapman Marshall said he must send her t) -iSon. Mr. POntifex, on behalf of the gas compailY, said, they did not wish - to have her punished. They, bc!ieved she had committed the offence from sheer destif ttion. Sir Chapman Marshall inquired of Mr: Pon s4,fex if he was willing to take charge of the girl, becauk, being in so destitute a condition, :she Vonld, if 43illissed, break some more lamps. Mi. Pontifei said he could not undertake to tnlce care of the prisoner. Sir Chapman Marshall said he must therefore commit her, that she might be taken care of. , i Mr. Wood (the clerk) said that further p;gairies would be instituted by the prison authorities i*Specting her. jj The prisoner said she would rather go`to prin. Sir Chapman Marshall then sentenced the ptaoner to seven days' imprisonment. Her appearance and destitute condition excited the greatest commiseration among all'persons in the court. Mr. Rom,anis, hosier, of Cheapside, was stimmoned for unlawfully detaining property under. the klowing circumstances. Mr. Clarke, a merchant, at present residing- at the Queen's Hotel, said be bought six pairs of stockings at 2s. per pair at defendant's shop on the 6th of September last, with an understanding that they were to be changed if not approved of. They did not suit, and ht. accord ingly returned them on a subsequent day ;, but the young man doubted at first if the goods were 0:s chased there. His doubts were, however, removed on refer ring to the book in which they had been entered un the day of sale. Complainant then bought other griods, and on paying for them the young man made coit, a bill, giving him credit for the 12s. he had paid in the first instance, receipted it, and gave it complainatt, ; who thereupon accepted the young man's offer to allow the goods to be sent to his hotel. Accordingly a man called on complainant with the goods, and made a demand for an extra 3s. but complainant told the man he had paid for them, and had his bill and receipt for the money, and desired him to leave the parcel and say complainant would call on defendant in the morning. The man went away, but did notleare the goods, and complainant called on the following morning to know why they were taken away again. The young man then stated that the stockings purchased on the 6th of Sept. were sold to him for is. 6d. per pair, and by mistake entered in the book at 2s. ; so that complainant had only paid 95., and the young man had given him credit for 12s. Tere was some talk of two entries of similar purchases on the same day, and complainant re quested to see the book; but the young man positively refused to show it to him, and also declined to give up the parcel until the 3s. was paid. Other evidence was gone into, and some a.spersities having been indulged in on both sides, the Alderman dismissed the summons, and recommended the com plainant to take the case into the County Court. BOW-STREET.--Henry Field, a young man out of employ, was charged with breaking open the poor box of St. Clement's Church, Strand and stealiDg its contents. Mr. Isaacson, the vestry-clerk (accompanied by the clergyman and churchwardens attended to prosecute. Francis F. Rickson stated that he was the sexton of St. Clement's Dane, and left the church in perfect safety on Sunday afternoon, at about five o'clock, having locked doors himself. He returned in an hour after wards with some elderly women and the pew-openers, to light up the gas for the evening service, and on pro ceeding to the overseers' pew, opposite the church wardens', he observed a white mark caused by a piece of the beading having been broken off in the coroner where the poor-box was secured to the wall. Ho then examined the box, and soon perceived that it had been broken open. There were three locks to it, near one of which there were several cuts of a saw. A large hole had been forced in the side of the box, and two pieces of wood, which had been put up clumsily to disguise it,, fell out when witness touched them. One of the locks was also damaged. Witness looked round the church and eventually saw the prisoner concealed in a dark corner of one of the free pews, where he was sitting in a reclining position.. Witness asked him what business he had to be there, to which he replied "I must have been asleep and got locked in. Perhaps I had better go now." He rose apparently for.that purpose, but he was detained by witness until the arrival of some of the parochial authorities, upon which he was given into custody. On his way to the pelice station the prisoner said " he was a poor fellow oat of work, with no place or home to go to." He was searched at the office, where the officer on duty took from him 55. 11d.,including a shilling's worth of halfpence. Witness, on going back to the church, found a saw and an iron bar thrown loosely into the gas cupboard. The former, which had not been used f or two years, was stained w i t h oil, recently applied, and drops of oil were observed on the floor and aisle leading towards the overseers' p.,w. The iron bar was much bent. When th e mone y f oun d upon the prisoner was being counted at the station, the prisoner said, " Half-a - crown„of it was my own; the re mainder I took from the box. He al so stated he had no t s l e pt f or th e last two nights. It appeared that the poor-box, which is only opened once a year, had been emptied a few days previously. The prisoner, who said he had been a porter at the Fountain H o t e l, R amsga t e , f o r the last six month s pre vious to his coming to London, was fully committed for trial. SOUTHW ARR.—WiIIiam Cloud, a tall old man, described as a mariner, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with committing a serious assault on Rebecca Lambert, who is confined to her bed in St. Thomas's Hospital from the effects of a wound inflicted on her head by the prisoner with a candlestick. Police-constable 31 M said he was on duty near Mag dalen-court, Bermondsey, on Saturday night, when the `injured woman came up to him, with blood running down her face, and informed him that a man had ;:truek her on the head with a candlestick. He returned with her to her house, when she pointed out the pri:,,,n, r as the party who had injured her, and he tonic I.lm into custody. The female was taken to St. Thomas's Tlos oital where she remains in a precarious state. Sergeant Buchanan, 14 M, said he found a c:u dle- Aick in the room bent and covered with blood. There was blood all over the table, and the female told him that the prisoner had struck her on the head with the Candlestick without the least provocation. Mr. A'Beckett asked whether any one witnessed the assault ? 31 M replied that an elderly female saw the whole of it, but she was not in attendance. Mr. A'Beckett said she must be requested to attend, therefore he should remand the prisoner until Thursday - next. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY 7 EVENING, OCTOTER 1.1, 1853. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

CLEARWELL STAKES SCRATCHINGS. —The Druid, Rally, Hesse Cassel, Muscovado, Delia, Reel colt, John o' Bruges, and Motley. Stockwell is scratched for the whip. The disregard of punctuality by the down trains yes terday caused great dissatisfaction and disappointment. The 8 a.m. train was nearly four hours in performing the journey, and the 11.30 was fully an hour overdue when it arrived at Newmarket. Mr. Clark's Lady Emily, brought at a considerable expense, was, in consequence of the delay, too late to start for the Handicap Sweep stakes, and many of the betting men had to incur extra expenses to be conveyed immediately from the station to the Heath, in order to be in time for the first race, which was not run until an hour and three-quarters after the 8 a.m, train was due. The delay which generally takes place at Cambridge is most vexatious. By a little forethought and a more liberal scheme of management it might be easily prevented.

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND. An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held on Friday, at noon, at the liOyal Hotel, Aberdeen, "for the purpose of confirming the forfeiture declared . by the directors of certain original or postponed shares, upon which a call or calls are in ar rear, the required notices of the forfeiture of which have been given on the respective proprietors • and to deter mine on the course to be adopted for disposing of -the_ shares so forfeited, by a sale, or cancelling, or a re-issue, or otherwise, and upon such terms as the meeting shall direct for raising the capital represented by such shares." There was a numerous attendance of shareholders— Sir James D. H. Elphinstone, the chairman of the com pany, presiding. The advertisement calling the meeting, and the report by the directors—an epitome of which appeared in our columns a week or two ago—having been read by Mr. Milne, the secretary, The CHAIRMAN rose and said—Gentlemen, the report being read, I now rise to move a series of resolutions at tendant thereupon. You will observe that when the Great North of Scotland Railway was first set agoing, shares were allotted in very large quantities to different individuals, and when the present board took up the affairs of the company, and obtained a new bill reducing the share capital, we found there was a large portion of the stock upon which we could not get any payment. In these circumstances we find it necessary to dispose of the forfeited stock, and we now offer the 101. share, upon which 41. has already been paid, for 41. 10s., first to our own shareholders, and afterwards to the public generally. I believe these shares to be perfectly good stock, and in clearing them off for the com pany, we are benefitting the concern by getting money for what would not be worth anything otherwise. In regard to the works, I may state that they are proceed ing in a most satisfactory manner ; and I can state, on the authority of Mr. Blythe, the consulting engineer, now present, that the line is more than three-fourths completed between Inverary and Huntly. (Applause.) Now, when we remember that it was only in November last year that the first turf was cut, and also that, by the inclemency of the season, the works were totally stopped—with the exception of the end cuttings—till the 25th of April, 1 think that we may congratulate our selves upon the state of forwardness in which we now are. The portion of the line between Aberdeen and In verary has been allotted to the contractors, and in a very few days they will be in a position to proceed with , the work. I may state, for the information of the pub lic, that as seem as the necessary arrangements are made with'the contractors, to enable us to know how long the canal can be kept open, we shall not lose a day in mak ing the public acquainted with that important fact, and we shall make arrangements to allow it to be kept open for traffic till January or February next. The engineer has suggested a few alterations for the better in the line near the Spey. Although we have examined the line in every possible way, to endeavour to lighten the expense, yet, I. must say, in justice to Mr. Gibb, we hive been obliged to stick almost to the line as laid out by_him, except that, by the act of Parliament, we are enabled to deviate a little, so as to make the works lighter. I feel that. in stating. this, I am only doing justice to Mr. Gibb. (Applause.) As the works westward of the Spey do not need to , come before us at present, I have only to say that they are under consideration, and when we have matured a plan, we shall bring it forward to the shareholders. In concluding, gentlemen, I must say that the directors have always kept two points in view —namely, how to make the line in the cheapest and most remunerative way possible. (Cheers.) The failures which have taken place in other lines will, we trust, prove beacons and buoys to prevent us falling into like mistakes, and while the directors endeavour to do so, we hope we shall receive the confidence of the shareholders. In regard to our rolling stock, I may state that twelve engines are contracted for, and will be delivered up to us by the Ist of July next, when we hope to have the pleasure of seeing at our opening of the line many of those present who were with us at cutting the 'first turf. (Hear.) ' The Messrs.. Fairbairn of Manchester, aro the parties with whom we have contracted, and it is only necessary to mention their names to satisfy you that the engines will be of the finest make. We have taken every means in our power to secure the most recent im provements in the rolling stock now in operation in other lines, and especially in such lines where the traffic seems most likely to resemble that which will be our own. Our attention will still be directed to this point, and we hope to be able to have rolling stock equal to that upon any line open. (Applause.) Sir James con cluded by moving the resolutions. Mr. THOMAS BLAIKIE briefly seconded the resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. Mr. MILNE, of Kinaldie, in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman, said that it was within ,his (Mr. Milne's) knowledge that it was to the untiring zeal of. Sir James that the line was in its present forward con dition, and through his influence that the direbtors had been able to surmount many difficulties. (Applause.) The meeting then separated. , TURNING OF THE FIRST SOD 011 THE EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN. — This railway, which is in the first instance do connect St. John's, New Brunswick, with the whole of the rail way system of the United States and Canada, and is eventually to be carried on to Halifax, being a link in the great scheme of a connexion from Nova Scotia to Lake Huron, had its first great celebration on Wednes day, the 14th ult. Nearly 40,000 persons were present. About one o'clock his Excellency Sir Edmund Head, the Lieutenant Governor, Lady Head, and suite, ar rived on the ground, and were received with the usual honours. His Excellency was accompanied by Commo dore Shubrick, of the - United States Navy, and other officers of the frigate Princeton, which had come ex pressly to St. John's for the occasion ; also by Mr. Wm. Jackson, M.P., and Mr. E. L. Betts, of London. Nearly all the men of note in New Brunswick, and several from the United States, assembled round the Governor. The address presented to him by the direc tors having alluded to the national character of the work in which they were engaged, proceeded to state— "lt will form a link in the mighty chain which is to bind Great Britain more closely to her colonies; and per petuate the feelings of amity with the great republic of the Western World. The thousands who crowd the hills around us, the deep enthusiasm pervading every class, the exulting feelings of hope and pride Which ani mate every face, proclaim to all that results are antici pated from this work which language is powerless to convey. From Lake Huron to the Atlantic the course for the iron horse is laid, and the wealth which is to en able ourselves and our children to develope the rich re sources of our province, and to spread civilisation through our broad lands, comes from the home of our fathers. Though we cannot claim the balmy air of (Allier climes, yet Providence has placed around us in rich abundance all that can stimulate to industry and reward enterprise —exhaustless forests, rich mines, invaluable fisheries, productive fields, wide-spreading rivers, and a climate healthy and invigorating. The plague and the pesti lence, which at periods decimate the fairest pbrtions of the earth—the convulsions which rock mighty cities from their foundations—to us are unknown. ; Our win ters are severe, but they retard not our labour4; an d we may fairly call the attention of your excellency to the success which has attended the exertions of olr artisans and mechanics. Our ships now hold a proud position in the mercantile marine of England, and may vie with the foremost specimens of naval architecture the world has hitherto pk-oduced ; onr agricultural capabilities are daily becoming more apparent, and when' by means of that great work, the commencement of which we have now met to celebrate, our facilities of inter course shall have been increased, and thee tide of emigration directed to our shores, we may sagely assure to the industrious emigrant a home which tvill leave him no cause to regret the land of his nativity. For the attainment of railways, the legislatures of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick have wisely passed most important measures, which, preserving unfettered ' their revenues, and without burdening their pebple, have nevertheless induced the eminent capitalists of England to make these provinces the field of their great railway operations." The address being suitably responded to, and a prayer given by the Rev. Dr. Grey, the rector of Trinity Church, Lady Head turned the first sod and deposited it in an elaborately prepared barrow, amid the enthusi astic shouts of the immense surrounding multitude, and a salvo of 70 guns by a troop of Royal Artillery. His Excellency deposited the second sod, the third was re moved by Commodore Shubrick, and the others by the Mayor of St. John's and the officials of the company. When the barrow was full, his Excellency rolled it along the platform and " dumped" it, amid cheerS such as never were heard in the locality before. In the evening there was a magnificent dinner, presided over by the chairman of the company, at which 1,500 persons were assembled. On the right of the chairman was the Lieut.- Governor, and on the left Commodore Shubrick. The evening's entertainments were terminated for the people by a brilliant display of fireworks, and for the upper classes by a magnificent ball. NEWPORT AND ABERGAVENNY, AND SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD. Both these lines are to be publicly opened for traffic on the Ist of November, when the through traffic be tween North and South Wales, via Hereford, will be completed. The great work on the Shrewsbury line has been the Dunmore-hill tunnel, which has been com pleted. This undertaking is 1,060 yards long, 18 feet high, and 16 feet wide, and in its construction 3,250,000 bricks were used. The whole has been two years and a-half in making, during which time the mining has been of the most arduous- character. • The necessary works along the line have just approached completion.

NEW YACHT FOR HER MAJESTY. We may now announce, without fear of contradiction, that the Admiralty have determined to give her Ma jesty a new yacht, to supersede the - old Victoria and Albert, and that the new Royal vessel will be con structed of iron, a material for a yacht suitable for her Majesty superior in every satisfied to wood. In this determination we ara quit e siatisfied the Admiralty will be supported by all ranks and classes ; and the disap pointment that would have been felt at tinkering up a bad ship at an immense cos will now be turned into a hope of providing for the Queen a vessel worthy, in every quality, to represent the naval architecture and marine engineering skill of Great Britain. England has the largest, most powerful, and swiftest men-of-war on the ocean—the Duke of Wellington, St. Jean d'Acre, &c. England has, also, the largest, fleetest, and most ele gantly-fitted mercantile steam-ships that were ever launched—from the great Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's ship Himalaya, of 3,500 tons, built of iron, to the `15 -knots-an-hour packet Valetta, both built by Mare and Co., of Blackwa,ll. Surely, then, having the best Imen-of-war and the best mercantile steamers, England must also have the best yacht that can be produced for her Sovereign. We have not the precise dimensions proposed for the new yacht, but we have heard that a vessel of about 280 feet long, and, perhaps, 37 feet broad, will be suggested. Nor have we heard whether it is de cided that th• yacht shall be screw or paddle. The latter, it is reported, is preferred. But, as we have stated, the great advantages which a re secure d b y a d op ti ng i ron as th e 'material for the construction are not likely to be over looked ; and the new Victoria and Albert will be con- F structed of iron, from the approved Admiralty design, carried out by the largest and most eminent ship-build ! ing establishment in the country. With the acknow ledged great professional talent in the Surveyor of the Navy's department at Somerset-house, and the expe rienced nautical skill that long service in the Royal navy has matured, from the two world-wide renowned esta blishments on the banks of Old Father Thames, we doubt not that the very best result of modern science in ship and machinery'will, before the Ist of July next, be tendered by a loyal people to their most gracious Queen.—Morning lierald. It is officially made known that a new steam-yacht is to be built for her Majesty, in lieu of the Victoria and Albert. It is a pity this determination was not arrived at earlier. An order for the Victoria and Albert to be altered by lengthening, and to have new engines of 170-horse power put into her (which were ordered of Messrs. Penn and Son), had been issued ; and accord ingly the vessel has - been stripped to a complete shell ; ' her fine engines, of 430-horse power, by Maudslay (which have always done theiriduty faultlessly, and are in prime condition.for further work), have been dragged out with merciless hurry and disregard of their value ; her hull and fittings have been battered about with most destructive zeal ; all in order to get her trans formed into the article resolved on, and with the least possible delay. She has been docked and blocked ready for the process of cutting, and now, at the last moment, that which should have in the first instance rendered unnecessary any meddling with the old yacht has been done. We are glad there is to be a new one, because the Victoria and Albert has been a most ill-contrived, inadequate vessel for the purposes she is expected to serve ; she never would steer, or berth her compliment of officers without resorting to the necessity of packing I two in one cabin, " cribbed and confined," and could , not steam up to the speed of several line-of-battle ships now in commission. The new yacht will, we hope, be made to remedy these defects, and redeem the character of the Queen's yacht. She is to be an iron yacht, upon the paddle principle, anti of 600-horse power. We be lieve we may add, further, that the Victoria and Albert having exhibited in such a bad light the workmanship of a Royal dockyard, under a Crown surveyor, the new yacht will be built at a merchant ship-building establish ment, and we believe Mr. Ditchbum (the builder of the beautiful iron Royal yacht Fairy) will have the con tract.—Times.

SERIOIL9 CHARGE AGAINST A SCROOL TEACHER. Yesterday Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the Lans downe Arms, Guildford-street, upon the body of Tamson Castle, 10 years of age, daughter of Sophia Castle, house keeper to Mr. Burge, 1, Lansdowne-terrace, Brunswick square, who was said to have died in consequence of a blow given by Victoria Duncan, a young woman em ployed as teacher in the North. London British Schools, Calthorpe•terrace, Gray's-inn-road. The mother of the deceased, who appeared to have but little recollection of dates, stated that her daughter came up from the country, about seven weeks ago, in perfect health, and went almost directly to the school above referred to, and that when she had been there about a fortnight she came home one day complaining of a pain in her head and a feeling of sickness, which she said had been caused by her teacher Victoria having struck her with a book upon the head. She kept on com plaining about her head, and witness got something for her from a chemist, and kept her at home for about a fortnight, but did not make any inquiry about the matter, or prefer any charge for assault before a magistrate, be cause there was no mark of violence visible. Deceased then got a little better, and went to school again on two mornings ; but witness, seeing her apparently growing worse, would not allow her to go the third morning, al though she wished to do so, but took her to the Royal Free Hospital in Gray's-inn-lane, where some medicine was given to her. Two or three days afterwards Mr.Burge sent for Mr. Hutchinson, surgeon, of New Bridge street, Blackfriars, who attended the child regularly from the 28th September until last Saturday, when she died. From the first she complained of giddiness and pain in the head, and when any one passed before her she said " Oh, Victoria, Victoria, Victoria." These were the last words which she said before she died, and when sensible she always said the same. She said the book with which she had been struck was as large as a Bible. Mr. Wakley observed that Bibles were of very dif ferent sizes. The Mother—She had never been subject to fits, or met with any fall or accident. She was attached to her teacher, and always spoke highly of her beforo. Mr. Francis Hutchinson, P.R.C.S., New Bridge street, Blackfriars, was called in to attend the deceased on the 28th September, and visited her daily until she died. She was suffering from inflammation of the mem branes of the brain, and told him, when sensible, of the blow given her by her teacher with a book. She com plained of violent pain in the head and hack of the neck, with a feverish pulse, and was treated accordingly. Witness from the first thought the case almost a hopeless one. Her head was shaved, but exhibited no mark of violence before death, nor was any sign of violence visible upon a post mortein examination. The in side of the scalp was whole and bloodless, and with out extravasation. The skull, which was very thin, ex hibited no marks of injury within or without. The vessels of the membranes were congested and distended ; the inner ones much, butsome more than others. In the brain, the bloody points were numerous and large, and on opening the ventricles, two or three ounces of pale serum were found. There was no patch on the mem branes. The heart, lungs, and other viscera were per fectly healthy. There were no marks of violence inter nal or external. No direct evidence respecting the infliction of the blow could be produced, and the inquest was adjourned to allow opportunity for its collection, GRAYD EXPLOSION OF MINES AT CHATHAM. For the last two months the Royal Engineer Esti blishment, under the direction of Colonel Harry D. Jones, has been engaged in preparing mines of a new construction, with a view to practice in mining, but also with the object of carrying on the course of drill in sub terraneous warfare. On Friday afternoon, the 7th in stant, the whole force of the Royal and East India Sappers and Miners, and the officers of the engineer establishment, assembled in the field works near to St. Mary's Creek, to witness the operations under the order of the director, Colonel Jones. All the local authori ties had been invited to attend to witness the experi ments ; and for the accommodation of the ladies and officers the top of the casemates were opened for them, as the situation afforded a full view of the works. Among the visitors we observed Major Walpole, brigade major of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich ; Colonel Portlock, Military College, Woolwich ; Marquis of Worcester, Colonel Wood, second in command of the cavalry depot, Maidstone, and several other cavalry officers ; Colonel Ord, commander, of the Engineers ; Sir John Campbell, 38th Regiment ; Captain Peter Richards, C. 8., It.N., with many other officers. There was also a large assem blage of civilians from the town and neighbourhood. Shortly after two o'clock p.m. the sound of the bugle was given as the' signal for the commencement of the operations, which was a submarine explosion in the river Medway. It appeared that a raft of considerable strength was placed in the river at a mile distance, and which was totally destroyed by a charge of 100 pounds of gunpowder, fired by the voltaic b a tt er y, pl ace d a t the edge of the creek by Lieut. Inglis, assisted by Cor poral Jones. The explosion was magnificent. The raft was shivered to atoms, and the effect in the water pro duced a cone rising to the height of about 150 feet. The next explosion was that of firing a fongass— an experiment for projecting stones, defending a breach, or a bridge-head. The plan of the mine was oval, and about 21 feet in length and about 11 feet in width. In this mine was placed a charge of 80 pounds of gun powder ; over the charge was put an oak shield of ,con siderable thickness, measuring three feet nine inches by four feet six inches square ; over the shield was then placed nearly six tons of flint stones. Lieut. E wart, assisted by Serjeant Jones, fired the mine, which proved very satisfactory. It blew up with tremendous effect, the stones were scattered in all directions, resembling a shower of black substance ; in real warfare the destruc tion to human life by the falling of the stones must be very great. The flints were of very large size. The next fired was that of a field redoubt. Captain Lovell, with Serjeant Davey and Serjeant Dobie, had charge of the galleries. The extent of this redoubt was 90 feet in the gorge ; each flank was 50 feet, with the facis to a salient angle ; in each 51 feet in this redoubt was placed eight charges of gunpowder—one of 1401 b. of powder, two charges of 100 lb., and five charges of 601 b. each. The whole of these charges exploded simultaneously by the voltaic battery. By the force of th e gunpow d er the earth was driven into the air and the shock, for some considerable distance, was felt. The earth trembled, every particle of the redoubt was des troyed, and also the earth, for some yards distant, was turned up for some feet in depth. The next experiment was that of breaching a stockade on the margin of the river. This stockade was built with balks of oak, strongly fastened with oak ribbons, top and bottom. For the purpose of blowing this structure down, a bag of gunpowder of 701 b. was placed at the basement, well secured by sand-bags. Captain Lovell, assisted by Serjeants Davey and Dobie, fired the charge, which had the desired effect of forcing a breach, that troops four abreast could with ease pass through. The next experiment was, loading a mortar with gun powder and stones, for the purpose of ascertaining the quantity of powder that will force a certain quantity of flint stones to a given distance. There was also an ex periment of throwing hand grenades, loaded a certain distance from the mortar, by gunpowder ; the effect of this mode of warfare must be awful, especially to an enemy advancing in numbers, under a heavy fire of these hand grenades. The explosions closed by Captain Ross, assisted by Lieutenant Drake, blowing in a counter scarp, which was done most effectually. The first ex plosion was that of a small charge of 101 b. of powder, to weaken the basement of the brick wall, which was of considerable thickness, and immediately two other ex plosions followed—one of 401 b. and another of 601 b. of powder, which made a breach of 31 feet by 11 feet. The whole of the experiments went off to the entire satisfac tion of all present. The proceedings closed, the esca lading party appeared at the ditch with their ladders, which they lowered with the greatest dispatch, and with their carbines slung across their shoulders.

The Chief Com missioner (Mr. Michael Prendergast), at the the termi nation of the proceedings, delivered an address, in which he expressed his sorrow at what had been proved to have taken place in a town where the gospel was preached from the pulpits of the various churches and chapels. Several of the Dissenting ministers, in consequence, agreed last week to hold "special religious services for humiliation, prayer, and exhortation, in reference to the recently-manifested corruptions in the borough. Meet ings for prayer were accordingly held, and addresses were delivered on " moral purity." It was proved be fore the Commissioners that several of the professors of religion had accepted bribes of 61. each ; and it is said that these meetings were intended as a rebuke to those venal professors.

THE BRIXTON HOUSE OF CORRECTION.—The prison at Brixton, heretofore used as a house of correction for the county of Surrey, has been purchased by the Govern ment, and placed under the control of the Board for the Management of Convict Prisons. It is to be used exclu sively as a depot for female convicts, under sentence of transportation and penal servitude. The works are now so far advanced as to admit of the early occupation of a portion of the prison. One hundred female convicts a re about to be immediately removed thither from Millbank Penitentiary ; and further numbers will be sent from time to time as the works progress. The whole of this class of convicts will be eventually removed from Mill bank, whereby accommodation will be available for 300 additional male convicts, to whom the prison will, in future, be wholly confined. MARRIED COUPLES IN WORKHOUSES. —Yesterday some information was given in a return to the House of Commons, procured at the instance of Mr. Pellatt, M.P., of the number of married couples, above 60 years of age, li v ing together and living separate in workhouses on the Ist of January last. In England the number who were inmates of workhouse s , and living together on the Ist of January, was 298, and in Wales 1, making 299. The number of married couples above 60, who were in mates of workhouses and living separate, on the same day, was i n England 575 , ' and in Wales 3 , making 578. The return does not comprehend the single parishes un der the 43d of Elizabeth.
