NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Sir James Graham has bestowed the good-service pen sion on Capt. John Simpson, an old and meritorious officer, who, we believe, has nothing but his long and faithful services to recommend him to this reward. PORTSMOUTH, Mir 13. The Encounter, 14, screw, Capt. George W. D. O'Cal- laghan, has had her boilers taken out, and hauled into the steam•basin dock, to alter the feed-pipes for the new ones. The Stromboli, 8, paddle, haslbeen brought down, and laid alongside the coal depot, for a supply. She will be put in commission by Commander Gardner for the con veyance of troops in their exchange of quarters. The Excellent, gunnery-ship, Capt. Chads, C. 8., com menced the first series of experiments on the old convict hulk to-day, at one p.m. His Royal Highness Prince Albert had intended to have been present, but owing to the uncertain state of the weather was prevented coming. The Excellent and battery in front of her fired about 30 rounds of shot and shell, some of which burst on striking the hulk's side, tearing everything to pieces adjoining. Some of the cases in which the live shells were placed were knocked over, but did not burst up to four o'clock. The practice seemed to excite a vast deal of interest, as, after every four or six rounds, several boats, with very many officers of both services, pulled on board the hulk to ascertain the effect of the Excellent's fire. We no ticed the Melville, ordinary-ship, as the signal-vessel, the poop of which was crowded. The practice will be continued. The Dauntless, 24, screw, Captain E. P. Halsted, will be ready to pay off on Thursday next, the 19th inst. Ships at Spithead—Sanspareil, 71, screw ; Imperieuse, 60, screw ; London, 90 ; Highflyer, 21, screw ; Sidon, 22, paddle ; Banshee, 4, avant coureur. PLYMOUTH, MAT 13. Her Majesty's frigate Leander, 50, Captain King, left for New York, on Tuesday, with the Earl of Ellesmere and suite. She was in tow of the steam-vessel Vulture, which would take her 150 leagues to the westward. The steam-ship James Watt, lately launched at Pem broke, will leave there on Saturday in tow of the Brisk and Magicienne steamers, which will convey her to this port to receive her boilers. A court-martial assembled on Thursday, on board the Impregnable ; Admiral Corry, president ; Commodore Seymour, Captains Mitchell, Nias, Ramsay, Hutton, Gifford, Glasse, Patey, and Hewlett, to try Thomas Chune, private marine, of the Ajax, for striking a ser jeant of marines of that ship when on duty on the quarterdeck. He was found guilty, and sentenced to be hung at the yard-arm of such ship as the Admiralty might appoint. The Vulture, steamer, Captain Glasse, after accom panying the Leander down Channel, returned to the Sound on Wednesday night. WOOLWICH, MAy_l3. The Phcenix screw steam-sloop, Commander Edward R. Inglefield, was inspected to-day by Commodore Henry Eden, Superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard, and the vessel will leave this port between 6 and 7 o'clock to-morrow morning to be again tried at the measured mile when in full sea-going order, and will then bring up at Greenhithe to have her compasses adjusted. The Lady Franklin and the Sophia, the vessels em ployed in Captain Penny's expedition, have, it appears, been purchased by Captain Penny for the company for whom he has been appointed manager, and which has been established to ascertain the extent of the mineral resources of the portion of the Arctic regions reported by Captain Penny as rich in minerals, and worthy of being formed into a colony. Mrs. Penny goes out with her husband, as it is their intention to have a permanent residence in the Arctic regions. Captain Penny was present in the dockyard here to-day seeing the stores of the Lady Franklin and Sophia put on board, as these vessels are now being rigged by the dockyard riggers, previous to their being delivered over to their new and enterprising owners.

The committee sat yesterday morning at 12 o'clock ; Lord Seymour in the chair. The first witness called was the Earl of Derby. The noble earl was received by the committee etanding, and a similar mark of respect paid to him on leaving the room. The examination was conducted by the chairman. The noble earl having taken his seat at the table, The Chairman said—ln consequence of statements - which have been made before this committee, I wish to ask your lordship whether upon the formation of your overnment you made any stipulation or condition with the Duke of Northumberland respecting the pro motion or patronage, I should ra ther say of the Admiralty I The Earl of Derby—When I first formed the Govern ment, of which I was at the head, I asked the Duke of Northumberland to do me the honour of taking office in it as First Lord of the Admiralty, and the only condition which I made with hint was this, that he would have the entire and absolute selection of the naval members of the Board, choosing those members for the service whom he should think were most likely to be to the public advantage ; and also that he was to have the whole and absolute control over all appointments and over all promotions, so far as they related to the naval service of the country. I did go so far, of course, as to require, in aercordanee with the usual custom, that two of the naval lords should be members of the House of Commons, and I certainly now regret that I did not add a further condition, that upon their first appointment they should be persons conversant with Parliamentary habits and Parliamentary practices. The Chairman—ls the committee then to understand that you think inconvenience to the public service arose from the Lords of the Admiralty not having sufficient acquaintance with the House of Commons The Earl of Derby—There was this inconvenience that perhaps as between them not being connected with the Rouse of Commons, and the Secretary of the Admi ralty being eonnected with it, there was not so full an appreciation of their relative positions and the demands to b. made upon both as there would h ave b een if the Lords had been personally conversant with the House of Commons. The Chairman—The committee then may understand that , you did not make any arrangement with the Duke of Northumberland respecting this transfer of the civil patronage of the Admiralty to the Secretary of the Admiralty ? The. Earl of Derby—None whatever. I never learned of that transfer until a long time after, and I considered the Duke oMorthumberland entirely responsible for the administration of the department of the Admiralty. The Chairman—lt has been alleged before this com mittee that Mr. Stafford has stated he was under pres sure from your lordship and Mr. Disraeli as to the dis tribution of the patronage. I wish to ask your lordship if that is so ? The Earl of Derby—l should be very much surprised to hear that Mr. Stafford had made any such statement, because I have a high opinion of Mr. Stafford's honour, and he must have known that such a statement was en tirely inconsistent with the fact, and that there was not the shghtest foundation for it. The Chairman—Has your lordship anything farther to state ? The Earl of Derby—l am not aware that I have. I am at the service of the committee to give such informa tion as I can, without introducing private names and private conversations, which I should feel myself pre cluded from doing. His Lordship then withdrew. Mr. Tufnell, M.P., was then called. The Chairman—lt has been stated that on the occa sion of the last election some one of the dockyard officers—the master shipwright, Mr. Eden, I believe— was an active.partisan of your interests in the borough of Devonport. Was that the case I Mr. Tufnell—lf he was an active partisan I had no opportunity of knowing it. The Chairman—lt has been said that there is no " patronage committee" on behalf of each party to watch the opportunities of entries and promotions in the dock yards. From your long acquaintance with Devonport can you tell the committee what is the fact ? Mr. Tufnell—There is a political organisation, as in ell Parliamentary boroughs. Every member sitting for a dockyard borough must know the overwhelming num ber of letters written f or a pp o i n t men t s an d entr i es , an d, without some friends on the spot to refer to, it would be impossible to ascertain whether the applicants were qualified for the situations they asked for, or whether they were really friends to the member. I have been lcd into very egregious errors and soundly abused for recommending persons who were most bitter against me. When letters of this kind come to me, I can do nothing but refer them to one friend or another in the borough. The - Chairman—It has also been represented to the committee, that during many years all the promotions in the dockyards, as well as all the first entries, have been invariably enjoyed by one party. As that was said , by the agent of the opposite party, I wish to know if it is an admitted fact by the other side Mr. Tufnell—Persons in my interest have given en tirely opposite statements. They say, whether their friends are in power or not, they do not get a fair share of the patronage. But I must say, I think such state ments, made by political partisans, are not worthy of much attention. The Chairman—Have you found that when your friends have been in power you have found a more fervent support from the dockyard voters than on other occasions _ _ Mr. Tufnell—l have only had one election when I WAS in opposition. As far as I can remember, while I was opposed to Mr. Dawson, the dockyards were about equal on each side. I have had a return of these votes at the last election, and I find that there were for my self and Sir John Romilly 321, and for our opponents 334. To Mr. Beckett—l heard no complaints in 1846 about the distribution of patronage. Mr. Tufnoll's attention being directed to a dinner, stated to have been given by him in 1850, at which the master shipwright was present, he stated that, not haling been in Devonport since 1847, he received in 1850 a pressing invitation to a dinner there, and who ever was there he had had nothing to do with the invi tations given. The Chairman—Have the dockyard voters ever ex pressed any wish to be disfranchised ? Mr. Tufnell—l never heard of any wish of that kind. I should like to say that I entirely concur in the opinion which was expressed by Sir Francis Baring, and do not think that tin disfranchisement of the dockyard men would cure the evil. I think all jobbing in the yards will be stopped when head-quarters are in earnest. But I am free to say that if the practices which prevailed at the last election are to continue, it would be necessary either to disfranchise the dockyard men or to give them the protection of the ballot. I mean the influence used by the Secretary of the Admiralty, who, although he may be a very inferior personage in the House of Com mons, is considered in the dockyard as the most influen tial person connected with the board, and I cannot de scribe the effect which the visit of such a person would have upon the men in the yard. The Chairman—Has it ever been the case at previous elections that the Secretary or any Lord of the Admi ralty has come down apparently to influence the elec tion. Mr. Tufnell—l never knew it done before. When Mr. Dawson stood as a candidate, he exhibited the Ad miralty flag, and there was an outcry about that, as he was the Secretary to the Admiralty. Lord Hotham alluded to a statement made on the pre vious day by Mr. I3ere, that Mr. Tufnell was introduced to the bgrough of Devonport in 1839 by Admiral Dun das, then the Clerk to the Ordnance. Mr. Tufnell said he remembered Admiral Dundas coming down to De vonport, but as far as his recollection served him he never introduced him to the borough. He wished to refer to a statement which had bee* made, that Admiral Warren had taken an active part in that election. To the best of his belief that statement was without founda tion. Another statement he wished to correct was one, that at the contest between Mr. Dawson and himself the former was defeated, notwithstanding he had a majority of pledged votes. He had heard, indeed, that the other side put down as pledged almost every man who had a vote, but for himself lie never saw a more accurate cal culation than the result proved of his own chances of support. To Sir B. Hall—The last election was on July 6, and he went down to Devonport about ten days previously. He was there when the Secretary to the Admiralty came, and had no doubt that that visit must have had great influence in the yard, and the fact of that functionary standing at the gates with the two Conservative candi dates while the men were passing out must have had a great effect. Sir G. Berkeley had a majority of 10 over Sir John Romilly. Sir IL Davie asked Mr. Tufnell if he had heard any thing about the sale of promotions at Devonport. Mr. Tufnell replied, that a charge of that description was brought against a member of his committee, by a person on the opposite side, but legal proceedings were immediately taken ; upon which the charge was re tracted, and there the matter ended. The Chairman, addressing Mr. Stafford, said, Mr, Corry was ready to be examined if there were any ques. %ions to be asked of him. Mr. Stafford said he knew of nothing to ask that gen tleman. The Chairman—ls there any other witness you wish to be called ? Mr Mr. . Stafford-4 know o f no other. ' then recalled, and, in reply to Lord Bother ; , mi r s puted to Admir al Warren that he did not mean to have im polities. co . 92i Warren any active interference in successive elec tio n s,oner Ross it was, who had upon two House of c oromon as to the inquiry instituted by the flag, it was intimated ta tohe exhibiti on o f th e Ad m i ra lty t t that they ought n o t to interfere in officers of the yards ere in elections, and since then he (Mr. Bere) did not rec ollect oe any interference such as that of Commissioner to correct an error which appeared'''. respect ingßepavipeisrhsedaiso the naino ofilhe o ffi cer in th elunthavye who, having Whig candidates, used great exertions in favour of appointments for had received several promotions and el Foote, and himself and eons. That officer was C H a a p P ir ! wished ma further not Walker, as had been reported. to allude to the case of Mr. Roberts, late wright at Devonport, as one of great hardship , t ip ; gentleman, who never interfered in politics, and devoted a himself to his business, was esteemed the most eminent master shipwright in the service. That officer, although advanced in years, was hale and agave, and unremitting in his attention to his duties. He was superannuated in 1837, and, it was said, on account of having shown some attention to Mr. Dawson, who was a candidate for the representation of the borough before. The Chairman inquired the age of Mr. Roberts when he was superannuated. Mr, Bere dii not ]sco w exactly, Do popposed about . 70. It was true that the Admiralty had power to super annuate a man at 00, but the hardship was that Mr. Roberts, perfectly competent to do his duties, and as sound in intellect as ever, was superseded by Mr. Hawkes, who was sometimes confined to his house for th re e months together , a nd was himself filially super seded from physical incapacity, while Mr. Roberts, after being superannuated, w:as selected as a member of a commission at Woolwich upon the subject of naval architecture. Mr. Bere added that he was desirous that the committee should be made aware of all the circum stances relating to Government influence in the dockyard boroughs, and only persons in his position could give such information. The Chairman observed that Mr. Bere was an admitted political agent, and if the committee were to hear him it must allow the agents on the other side to be heard too. Mr. Bere begged to say, in reference to his former evidence, that, although he had never been a member of a patronage committee," he did not mean to deny the existence of an association such as that described by Mr. Tufnell. Sir Baldwin Walker referred to a denial given in the House of Commons by Mr. Corry to his statement, that prior to 1845 all correspondence was addressed direct to the Surveyor-General. He wished to repeat the state ment he had made. He found from a return that the number of recommendations sent direct to the surveyor were—in 1840, 160 ; 1841, 189 ; 1842, 30 ; 1843, 17 ; 1844, 7 ; 1845, 2. He was appointed Surveyor-General in 1848. The communications direct to the surveyor in creased from two in 1845. to 97 in 1851. A few days since Sir W. Symonds had called upon him, and ex pressed his readiness to state that the change took place in consequence of a dispute he had with Sir G. Cockburn and Mr. Corry. He wished to make this statement be cause Mr. Corry had given it an unequivocal denial in the House of Commons. The Chairman did not think it quite regular to refer to proceedings in the House of Commons, and if it was done it would be necessary to send for Mr. Corry. Mr. Stafford, being invited by the committee to add anything he pleased to his former statements, said he could only reiterate his denial of ever having used the words imputed to him by Sir B. Walker. Admiral Berkeley, commenting upon the words imputed to him (Mr. Stafford) by the surveyor, said it was very impru dent. If he had ever made such a statement he should not have considered it imprudent, as he should have thought that he was speaking confidentially to a gen tleman. Sir B. Walker and Mr. Stafford severally repeated their former statements respecting an interview at the Admiralty on the 26th of November, about which they differed ; and Mr. Eden, an assistant in the surveyor's office, was called to bear out in part the surveyor's account of it. The committee then ordered the room to be cleared at half-past one, and, after remaining a short time in con sultation, adjourned. It was understood that the committee will not meet again until Monday week, and then only to consider their report to the house. Yesterday being appointed for the further examination of the prisoners Cunningham alias Smith, Currie, and Thomas, the Lambeth police-court from an early hour became densely crowded by persons of respectability, in eluding several of the medical gentlemen resident in the neighbourhood, anxious to hear the details of this pain ful investigation, and when, after the dispatch of the other business, the case was called on, before the Hon. G. C. Norton, even standing room could not be obtained. The prisoner Currie, whose mind it will be recollected had given way under the weight of anxiety consequent upon the degraded position in which he had placed him self, and who, in the first paroxysm of his temporary insanity, made a desperate attack upon his fellow-pri soner Cunningham, has somewhat recovered, but still exhibits a very ill state of health. So prostrate was he on the day of his last examination, that at first sight he failed to recognise his wife, who attended at the court to see him, but, after a few moments, consciousness re turned, and he recognised and embraced her. The other two prisoners are not in any degree altered in their appearance. For the prosecution there appeared Mr. Sleigh, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Lewis on the part of the family of the prosecutrix ; and by Mr. Wm. Shaen, of Bedford-row, the solicitor to the Associate Institution for improving and enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, on the part of that institution. Mr. Robin son again attended as counsel for the prisoner Thomas ; and Mr. Binns, as before, appeared for the prisoners Cunningham and Currie. Mr. Sleigh, addressing the magistrate, said that, in the unavoidable absence of his learned friend Mr. Parry, who was engaged in a trial for murder at the Old Bailey, he was instructed to adduce before the court some further evidence affecting the criminality of the prisoners at the bar. To-day he proposed to bring before his worship two persons whose evidence would be found materially to corroborate that of the young lady, Miss Morden. The first of these was a Mrs. Babbett, at whose house, in Bryan-street, Caledonian road, Miss Morden had lodged in January last, and who would prove, in the course of her examination, that the prisoner Cunningham was in the habit of visiting Miss Morden there almost daily, staying at each visit a quarter of an hour or more •, and this witness would further prove that the Rev. Mr. Gordon had also been in the habit of visiting her there. The other witness he pro posed to call was Mrs. Cornelius, who, it would be re membered, went with her to the house in Essex-street, Strand, and to that extent would also corroborate her testimony. As the prisoners could not be tried for some considerable time, he should, after putting this evidence in proof, ask for another remand, and he should further ground that application on the circumstance that every effort was being made to apprehend the Rev. Mr. Gordon, and that there was a probability he would be taken before the next examination. Mr. Robinson inquired of his learned friend what rea sonable probability he entertained of this expectation being realised ? Mr. Sleigh replied, he ought not to be asked such a question, and on grounds of public policy be declined to answer it. Mr. Robinson—Before my friend asks for a further remand, he ought to satisfy your worship that there exists a reasonable probability that the result he has stated will be accomplished. Mr. Sleigh—All I can state is, that I am this moment instructed that information has been received this day of Mr. Gordon's locus in quo, and therefore I am justified in saying there are reasonable grounds that he will be apprehended. This announcement was received by the auditory with suppressed murmurs of approbation. Mrs. Ann Cornelius was then called, and examined by Mr. Sleigh. She stated that she was the wife of Ber nard Cornelius, and was in the service of Mr. John Richards, Threadneedle-street. She had known Miss Morden since the month of January in the present year. - • a" • Mr. Sleigh—How did you become acquainted with her ? Witness—l had occasion to go to her mother's house, No. 26, Ely-place, Holborn, in the third week in Jan. Her reason for calling was in consequence of her leaving her then situation, and she wanted to see a gentleman who lodged there, and who had always promised to en deavour to procure situations for those he th ught de serving. That gentleman was a clergyman, who lived under the same roof with herself. Mr. Sleigh—What is the name of that clegyman you speak of ? Witness—The Rev. Mr. Gordon. He was in the habit of visiting where I was at service. Mr. Sleigh—Do you know the house No. 24, Essex street, Strand ? Witness—Yes, sir; I lived there for three years as housekeeper. Mr. Norton—Whose chambers there had you the care of ? Witness—l had the care of the whole house, and Mr. Gordon used to come to and fro to see his professional adviser. Mr. Sleigh— Had Miss Morden been in the habit of calling in that house I Witness—Not in my time there. I never saw her in the house in Essex-street during the time I was house keeper. Mr. Sleigh—You say you called at the house in Ely place : how did you become acquainte I with Miss Mor den ? Witness—She was waiting on the Rev. Mr. Gordon, the gentleman I went to see, and the first time I saw her was when she brought up a tray with some refresh ments. I saw that she looked very ill, but I never to my knowledge spoke to her before. Mr. Sleigh—Then, after that time, were you the means of procuring lodgings for her ? Witness—Yea, I was. I observed to her that she looked very ill. She said she had been so, and had been advised to go out to lodge, as the air in Ely-place did not agree with her. I spoke to her in Mr. Gordon's presence, and subsequently I procured lodgings for her in Bryan-street, Caledonian-road. I did so at her own request. Mr. Sleigh—Used you to visit Miss Morden in Bryan street ? Witness--By her , own invitation I went to stay with her there a few days after her going there. Mr. Sleigh—Did any person visit her there ? Witness—Yes, that person (pointing to Cunningham) did, but neither of the other prisoners, to my know ledge. He called the first day . I was there, but I did not see him on that occasion. On the second day when he came I made a point to see him, but I left the room by desire of Miss Morden, who said the prisoner would not speak to her in my presence. On all future occa sions of his coming there I left the room, because I did not desire to be told a second time to do so. Mr. Norton—How many times did the prisoner Cun ningham call, to your knowledge ? Witness—l think about five or six times, but I can not say precisely. Mr. Norton—By whom were you told to leave the room ? Witness—By Miss Morden. Mr. Sleigh—Did she do so in Cunningham's presence ? Witness—No, she did not. She heard a knock at the door, and said, "It is my medical man, and you must not remain in the room. He will not speak to me while you are by." Mr. Sleigh—Did anybody else call upon her ? Witness—Yes, Mr. Gordon called once or twice. Mr. Sleigh—Was the prisoner present on any occa sion of his call ? Witness—Never. Mr. Norton—How long used Cunningham to stay ? Witness—About ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. I never spoke to him, except to ask how he thought my young friend was. He then replied, " Oh, she will be all right in a few days." Miss Morden occupied two rooms—a bed-room and a sitting-room. There was a sofa in the sitting room. Mr. Sleigh—Are you aware of your own knowledge whether any arrangements had been made, such as are usual when a female is about to be delivered, or in expectation of a miscarriage. Witness—Oh, no ; never a word was hinted of the like, nor was it supposed to be. She returned to her mother's house, and I did not see her for a month or five weeks, in consequence of a death in my family. I sub sequently met her in Holborn by accident, and, at her request, I accompanied her to the house No. 24, Essex street, but not to an empty room there. I went in with her to a room that was in use of my own child—a room at the top of the house and left-hand door. Previously to going in we did not meet any one in particular, but subsequent to our entering the prisoner Cunningham came in, while I was at needlework mending my child's clothes. On his appearance I left the room, as I had previously done in Bryan-street lodgings, and left the prisoner and Miss Morden in the room by them selves. When they had been there ten or twelve minutes, or perhaps a quarter of an hour, Miss Morden opened the room door and called me in. The prisoner Cunningham was present then. 1 walked towards him and said, " How is my young friend. ?" He replied, " Oh, there is something wrong • but if I attend her daily myself, no doubt she will be soon all right." I asked him what he thought it was ? He replied it was a sort of gathering, giving it the name of a " polypus," and that there would be no difficulty or danger in its re moval, could he but attend her for a few days. He then asked her where she should like him to attend her, and where she should like to go ? And she asked my advice on the subject. She said she had such a mother that she could not look to her ' • but that if I could get leave for her to go away from home, she could get away. I, in consequence, spoke to her mother, and obtained her permission for her daughter, Miss Morden, going to my sister's. I took her there myself, but left her there after being with her about two hours, and I have never seen her since. Mr. Norton--Are we to understand that, up to the time of her going to your sister's you had no notice of her being in the fainfly 4 way ? Witness—l had no notion that she was in the family way—not the least ; no more than your worship, who had never seen her. _This concluded the evidence in chief of the witness, and both Mr. Robinson and Mr. Binns declined to cr oss examine her. Mrs. Babbett was called as the next witness, but did not answer, Superintendent Lund remarking that j she had had sufficient notice to attend, and he could not ac- count for her absence. Mr. Norton . (here addressing Mr. Binns) wished to know if he would now proceed with the cross-examina tion of Miss Morden ? Mr. Binns replied that as he understood a remand was about to take place, he should defer it to the r text meeting. Mr. Sleigh then applied for a remand, to give time for the apprehension of the Rev. Mr. Gordon, and the .pro duction of Mrs. Babbett. Mr. Robinson.observed that he could not object to this course, but applied to have the prisoners admittvd to bail. Mr, Sleigh replied that he was instructed to oppose the application, as there were very good grounds against is being conceded. Mr. Finns said he was about to apply to have his client Currie discharged altogether. Though there was a multiplicity of prosecutors—first the mother, then Superintendent Lund, and, lastly, some Society for the Protection of Females—he submitted that the evidence against that prisoner altogether failed. Mr. Norton—We cannot forget the prisoner Currie's own admissions. _ The Chief Clerk here proceeded to read the depositions already taken, and Miss Morden for this purpose was again put into the box. After she had deposed to their accuracy, Mr. Sleigh asked whether when, as she said some substance had been taken from her, she had ob served the state of her clothes. She replied in the affirmative, and said that there was a great deal of blood. Cross-examined by Mr. Binns—Two other doctors — namely, Mr. Joleffe and Mr. Doubele, had prescribed for me, the one in November and the other in January last, and she gave them the particulars of what she was labouring under. Mr. tinns—Are you now quite recovered from what you were labouring under? Mr. Sleigh objected to the question, on the ground that the medical witnesses whose names had been men tioned as having attended the witness were the proper persons to prove whether the disease or malady under which she had suffered was removed or not. Mr. Norton ruled in favour of the objection. Mr. Norton (to Miss Morden)—Had you ever been to the house, 24, Essex-street, before the occasion of which you have spoken ? Miss Morden—Yes, several times. Mr. Norton—What, to meet the prisoner Cunningham? Miss Morden—No, sir, not to meet hi m . I w as sent there several times by Mr. Gordon with notes and mes sages to Mr. Maddock, his solicitor. Mr. Sleigh here remarked that he was anxious to remove a serious imputation which had gone forth af fecting the witness (Mrs. Cornelius)—namely, that she was present in Essex -street when the operation was performed. He was anxious, therefore, to put a ques tion to Miss Morden—namely, whether Mrs. Cornelius had been so present? The Witness replied that Mrs. Cornelius had never been present, either in Essex-street or at any other place, when Cunningham performed the operation. Mr. Binns- -Was it not through Mrs. Cornelius that you went to Essex-street on that occasion ? Witness—No ; it was through Mr. Gordon I went there. Mr. Sleigh here asked permission to put to Inspector Emmerson the following question :—" Whether it was not after the prisoner Currie knew that the charge against Cunningham was for using an instrument to procure abortion that Currie said that Cunningham told him he had learned to do it in France ? Inspector Emmerson—Yes, it was, Mr. Sleigh remarked that he was almost willing to rest the case against Currie on that answer, and he again asked for a remand. Mr. Norton said he felt bound to accede to the appli- cation, and thus afford facilities for the apprehension o' Mr. Gordon. This was most desirable for the ends of justice, because, if Gordon was apprehended and charged with the prisoners, many circumstances, which were inadmissible in evidence during his absence, might be proved, and thus the case considerably strengthened against all the prisoners. The prisoners were accordingly remanded and re moved in custody. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SHREWSBURY MEETING-FRIDAY. ATTINGIII3I STAKES, of 5 sovs. each, with 30 added ; for three-yr-olds.

RAILWAY ARRANGEMENTS FOR EPSOM RACES.—TO enable the public to get to the races at a low fare, the ordinary low trains will run from London-bridge from 7 a.m. until 11.10 a.m. on the Tuesday and Thursday, returning after 7 p.m. ; and on the Wednesday and Friday from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m., returning after 8 p.m., at the ordinary first and second-class fares, an arrange ment by which a trip to the races may be obtained for 2s. To run cheap trains after the hours stated, espe cially on the Derby and Oak days, would possibly cause great confusion and danger. The subsequent trains will therefore be " special," and at the fares for merly charged. The special express train on the grand days will leave London -bridge at 1.45 p.m. For the accommodation of the sporting public return tickets may be obtained at Tattersall's, and at various offices as announced in the company's advertisements, and all parties will best consult their convenience and safety by procuring their tickets there in good time.

The difficulty of obtaining bricks in sufficient quantities appears to be amongst the excuses raised in some quar ters, but in Westminster, through the employment of Hart's machine, a moment's cessation from labour does not appear to have occurred. From what we can learn respecting this invention, as here applied, it would seem that the clay worked was about the stiffest in England, requiring, if used by hand, to be mixed with at least one third sand. Yet with Hart's machine it was at once thrown in as dug out of the bank, without any previous preparation. These machines appear to have been se lected, after many others, by reason of their not com pressing the clay much more than in hand labour. It would be well to add that they were worked by a six horse engine and countershaft, and that each turned out 40,000 bricks per day, at an expense of men at 2s. per 1,000 exclusive of steam-power.—Herald. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills excellent Remedies for the Cure of Bronchitis and Ulce rated Sore Throats.—Extract of a letter from Mr. James Downing, of Paris-street, Exeter, dated March 30, 1853.—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir, Your oint ment and pills have effected upon me a perfect cur© of a dreadfully diseased throat, arising from cold, which ul timately terminated in bronchitis. The medical aid I received was unable to combat with the disease, and I was rapidly sinking under its influence. At this stage I had recourse to your medicines, which in a few hours relieved me, and I am happy to inform you, that in less than a fortnight I was entirely cured by them."— Sold by all druggists, and at Professor krolloway'§ establish meat, 244, Strand, London.
