THE INDIAN MUTINIES. THE STORM OF DELHI. The following is from an Engineer Officer : " The Camp, Delhi, Sept. 21 to Sept. 27. " Here we are at last, thank God, having kicked out those rascals neck and crop after a twelve days' attack. The 14th was the storming day, as I told you, and I got knocked over the day before, which prevented me being present. We lost about 64 officers and 1,100 men out of 3,000 who went in. Some men say there never was harder fighting, and when we got inside the brutes disputed every inch, till yesterday we shelled them out of the palace, charged, and took it with no loss, and all the villains in the city bolted ; it is all ours now. Our men have bcen really most humane ; they would not kill a single man who was not a Sepoy, and I am glad to say not a woman or child was touched ; but when I saw sturdy brutes of men, the very class who committed all the atrocities, allowed to pass out I could not help wishing some of the soldiers would drive their bayonets through them ; but I did not say so out loud, as they are very apt to take you at your -word. large town,"which was one of our police stations, turned out our police, and occupied it in the name of the King of Delhi. " Our force now consists of the following ;--90 men (Goorkhas) of the Nusseeree Battalion, 30 troopers of the 3d Cavalry (native), 90 troopers of the Ist Punjaub Cavalry, 2 mountain train guns, or rather one 3-pounder gun and one 12-pounder howitzer. " Our party of officers consists of Mr. Edwards, the magistrate of the district, under whose orders of course the force acts ' • Mr. Cayler, who com mands the detachme n t o f Goorkhas, and whom we look upon as vittually in military command of the whole force; Captain Galloway commanding the 3d Light Cavalry ; Mr. Low, a young civilian, a son of old General Low, formerly the resident at Lucknow, a very good fellow, who joined us with 50 troopers of the Punjab Cavalry doing duty with him • and myself, who have charge and command of the guns. So, you see, my education in this re spect, under good old Sergeant-Major Livesey, in the artillery division attached to the Essex Yeo manry, has been most valuable. " They sent us from Meerut the guns, the trails fastened to mule shafts, drawn by post horses, with only 50 rounds, a gun, and no artillerymen. How ever, 12 of the Goorkhas were told off to work the guns ; but with the best will in the world they can not learn their work in a day. All the ammuni tion was in boxes, laden upon a large Government store cart, and from the time it took us to get the cart unpacked and the rusty pins taken out of the shafs, we calculated that we could not possibly bring the guns into action under two or throe hours; so I set to work, and fortunately found two little swivel guns and limbers belonging to a friendly Nawab, the limbers of which I found would do for my little guns, and the day I was at Meerut had them fitted up with partitioes for shot and shell, and so now work the guns with bullocks—a pair to each gun. In the limbers I carry 18 rounds for the howitzer and 21 rounds for the gun. I have also arranged that a spare box of ammunition for each gun is carried on an elephant, with spare rammers, poles for slinging the guns, &c., the rest following in the big waggon • so that now, if I had but men, the little guns would be as effective as they can be. " The day before yesterday we went out at a big disaffected village, which was first surrounded by the cavalry, and then entered by the infantry. A few shots were fired, which made me unlimber, and ' lay my guns noon an old fort in the centre and light my slow matches ; it was a falser alarm, but quite enough to show me how very unsteady and unfit for artillerymen are my little Goorkhas. We took a great deal of stolen property, in defence of some of which a small party which bad lagged in the rear had a skirmish, and killed two of their assail ants. Hardly had we bathed and sat down to dinner on our return, thoroughly knocked up, when we received intelligence that our friend, Kaairatti Khan, was within five miles of us, and meant to attack us in the night. We were very tired, and so we went to be 3, having thrown out pickets and given all necessary orders in case of an alarm. Surely enough, about 1 o'clock in the mot ning, my servant seized me by the leg, and awoke me with the news that they were actually in the city of Shamlee. In five minutes every man was at his post. One side of our camp was protected by a broad piece of water, and the Goorkhas were thrown out in skirmishing order along the other three fronts, supported by detachments of the cavalry. My men were so very unsteady that I agreed with Culls r that it would be better not to use the guns—so we dismounted them, putting the linchpins and ram mers away, and sending the gunners with their comrades as skirmishers. Strong cavalry patrols had gone out once, and all kinds of rumours came in to us, but no enemy • at last the cavalry re turned, having examine d the roads and reported that no enemy could be discovered. Yesterday we were to have marched on Boorhanab, the town from which our police were expelled, but one of our party was so ill with fever, that we deferred it tilt to-night. By the delay we gain a material ac cesssion to our force-250 Sikhs, new levies, wild men, capital material, but undril le d badly armed. We intend to march first upon the town of Boor hanah, and, unless the rebels bolt at our approacb, to take it, and an old fort which they now occupy, this will givens the command of the Hindun river and a safe line of retreat, which we have at present upon either Mozuffernugger, or a place called Kha towly, on the Meerut road, and from tience, if we are strong enough, we shall attack the rebels, or, if not, wait until additional force is sent from Meerut to strengthen and co-operate with us. We daily expect to hear news of the fall of Delhi, &c. The heavy siege train and last reinforcements from the north had arrived, and the batteries advanced between 200 and 300 yards of the place." " Mozuffernuggur, Sept. 22. " I wrote to you from a place called Shamlee on the 13th inst., where our little force then was. I take an opportunity of a quiet day to give you a further acciunt of our subsequent movements. On the night of the 13th of Sept. we marched from Shamlee upon a town on the Hindun river called Beorhanah, from which our police had been ex pelled. Soon after dawn we came abreast of a vil lage called Jo wleh, belonging to the Kina of Delhi, and before the head of our column h ad Q cleared it large numbers of men, b )th horse and foot, emerged from the village, and were seen coming down uponour flank ; they were armed with match locks, swords, add spsars, and came on with drums beating an I with loud shouts in a loeg irre gular line. Our cavalry of the advanced and rear guards went at them forthwith, taking them on both flanks, cut down and shot a good number, and drove the rest into the village, into which the irregular troopers and Affgban levies followed them. In the meantime the infantry and my gnus came up as fast as they could, and I was well pleased to find that my bullocks and little guns could get along so well. On our arrival the infantry scoured the village, killing all whom they found, and ulti mately (3t fire it. I took up a position outside. In about an hour, after our wild men had sated themselves with plunder, and were with difficulty collected, we returned to our baggage, which had been left with but a slender guard, and resumed our march, having given the rascals a thorough chastisement. When we reached Boorhanah we were given to understand that the old fort was still garrisoned by about eighty men. It was very hot, the mon were much done up, and we could no good place from which to shell it ; so the infantry went in at once to the main gate, which was found shut and firmly secured. I brought up my little guns by band, and after load ing the howitzer with grape, to be ready in case of a rush upon the guns, I blew in the wicket after sundry discharges with powder only from the gun, I and the infantry poured in, but to our surprise found it empty. The garrison, it seems, bad bated as soon as they heard of our successful scrimmage at Jowlah. That night we encamped outside, lew ing the Sikhs and Affgbans in the fort as agarrison and the next thy we were reinforced by 100 Sikbs and two Horse Artillery guns from Meerut. But we heard on the same day the melancholy news of our post at Shamlee (which had been garrisoned by what was considered by the native officer in charge an ample number of men), having been attacked he Muesulmans of a town called Thane Bhawn n, carried the place burnt, and all our officials and all their force (amounting to upwards of 100 men) de stroyed. The Mussulmane had come in great force with three little guns. We marched at once on Shmelee which, as we expected we f quid evacuated by the enemy, and it was decided by the officer in command to advance upon and attack Thaw, Bhawun. We marched at 2 a.m., but on the receipt of intelligence that our own central station of Moz• uffurnuggur was threatened by the enemy the ad vance was abandoned, and we marched into Moz uffurnuggur---21 miles. The next night we marched at 6 p.m. on Thana Bhawun, the advance guard being formed of 70 of the st Punjaub Cavalry, then 120 Goorkhas, the two horse artillery guns, followed by my guns, then 150 Sikhs and Affghan levies, and for the rear guard 50 of the Ist Punjaub Irregular Cavalry. The road was very bad, and we had to cross the River Hindun again by night, and We were under arms all night ; in the course of reached Thana Bhawun about 8 a.m. it I sent out three patrols, but it passed off without "We found the enemy in good numbers outside theattack threatened, although we had a false alarm the town, in the gardens and on little eminences, occasioned by a little private fighting in the town. which were cleared by a few shot and shell from I suppose the Goojers must have heard that I was Fraser's guns.

We are getting on capitally ; we have got the King—the great Mogul—prisoner, and are only waiting for leave from Calcutta to hang him. His eldest son and heir, Mizza Mogul Bag, a most infernal scoundrel, who set the example of murdering the Europeans, was caught and shot like a dog, and his son, a man of about 20 years old, as well as the King's second son, Mizza's brother. r saw all the three bodies exposed in the Kotwallie this morning. lam happy to say we are not so lenient as we were. Two of our native Sappers were murdered in the city, so we went out and hunted up about 50 or 60 men—thorough rascals, and our men have been shooting them ever since. I saw 24 knocked over, all tied together against the walls ; and when you hear those wretches, when thep see they have no chance', coolly tell you ' you may shoot me if you like ; I killed three Euro peans in the gloriousmassacre,' you lose all horror at the sight, and only wish they had cats' lives to take them all. Only four Victoria crosses have yet been given in the army—one to Lieut. Home, Engineers; one to Lieut. Salkeld, Engineers ; one to Sergeant Smith, Sappers and Miners ; and one to a bugler in her Majesty's 52d. So you see we got three out of the bur in our corps. Poor Salkeld is so badly wounded lam afraid be will never wear his. However, the red ribband has been better than any medicine. I am sure I would have given my left arm for it, and I might have had a chance, as I most probably should have been with Salkeld, blowing up the Cashmere-gate, had it not been for that wretched grape the night before. . . . We are wonderfully comfortable in our new home ; it was a powder manufactcry in the days of the Mogul, and conse quently our servants accidentally blew us up the other day, and killed one of themselves. But these little exiteinents are necessary. After being three months every day under fire, the change is so great that we were thinking of paying men to fire at us daily, and so let ourselves down to a quiet life by degrees. . . . I have given up walking about the back streets of Delhi, as yesterday an officer and myself had taken a party of 20 men out patrolling - , and we found 14 women with their throats out from ear to ear by their own husbands, and laid out in their shawls. We caught a man there who said he saw them killed for fear they should kill themselves, and showed us their hus bands, who had done the best theycould after wards, and killed themselves. We tcok about 280 cannon, with shot, Ste., for about three years. Without artillery they are no good ; with it no despicable antagonists. There are no better gunners any where, as we discovered in this siege. By returns we lost 1,350 men and 64 officers during the assaults only. Tolerably bloody work. Our loss in the assault, out of 18 officers on duty, was 1 officer killed (poor Tandy), 10 wounded, many severely ; one, I fear, mortally ; 1 the day before the assault, 1 after. Total 13, out of 18 ; a tolerable number, for there were 7 or 8 who were on another part of the work whom I don't count, and who are on the strength to assist the unhappy re maining 5 now. I am glad to say there is not much work for us now. At present, i'tdeed, cot up as we have been, we could not do it if we had much ; as, what with officers thoroueily done up since with fever, and others sent out with moveable columns, our 26 for duty are reduced to 4." An officer of her Majesty's 52d. Light Infantry, writing from Delhi on the 22d of September, says "The wounded men are all going on bowl-tinily, and the wealher is comparatively cool. Fever is disappearing, and the men are coming out of hospi tal. At one time we had actually 340 men -tick out of about 620 ; we now have only about 150, count ing wounded. We lost one officer killed—Brad shawe, a very fine young fellow, who fell charging a gun in the streets." The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. George Palmer, of the Bengal Civil Service, who served as an officer in the Artilery Division of the RACK Yeomanry previous to his return to India in January, 1857 : " Camp Shamlee, in the Mozuffernugger District of the North West Provinces, Sept. 13. " Since I last wrote I have had a very busy week and very hard work. Two days after I wrote to you I received the most unexpected intelligence that there was a large force of Goo lurs assembling actually within 21 miles of my camp, and that they intended to attack the town of Meeranport, in which I was encamped, that same night. This was about 3 o'clock p.m. lat once sent out a patrol to ascertain the truth of the report which returned by half-past 4 with the news that it was not merely correct, but that Dhaliel Singh, their most influential chieftain, was there in person, with 50 or 6() of his retainers. lat once mounted my detachment of Irregular Cavalry (20 sabres), leaving anon-commissioned officer and four men in charge of their tents, &c., and with two or thr ee native gentlemen galloped off to the village where the Goojurs were gathering, leaving orders for all the 'police that were available to follow as soon as po.esibl-. The news of my approach broke up the meeting, and when we reached the villa, o the Goo jurs were flying in all direc'ions. So, leaving my native revenue officer, who accompanied me, to do all that was necessary there, with a native cav a lry officer and 7 troopers, I galloped on in the direction of Bypoowa, the town in which Dhaliel Singh lived, with the remainderof my men. Afteragallop straight on of nearly 9 miles, through a terribly wet and heavy country, I came in sight of his party about 1,200 yards outside the little town. Only 3 men were then up with me, and they (the enemy) seeing this, made a stand ; so I waited and breathed our horses until I was joined by 7 or 8 more of mymen, and then went at them. They did not stand, but as soon as we came near them bolted into the town, and got in before we with oar fagged horses could get at them. We knocked over 2 of the hindermost match lockmen, 1 within 5 yards of the houses, who had an old Government musket made by Mortimer. It was impossible for us to enter the town with only a handful of cavalry, so we contented ourselves wi h two or three shots at long range, winch cleared the top of Dhaliel Singh's little fortified house in the middle of the town, and then, as it was past sun down, retired. " The next day I was told that a very large body of Goojurs was being organized to attack me. I bad thought this possible, and sent in at once to Meerut for aid; but neither from thence or from my own head-quarters was it possible to send any, so we prepared for an attack. I called upon the native gentlemen and townspeople to supply all the force they could, posted pickets outside the town, and threw out cavalry videttes on the two roads from which danger was apprehended, made barricades in some places and preparations to stop the ways with carts, &c., if necessary, and got out an old native gun mounted on a cart body, which I posted in the centre of the town, ready to move upon any point. _ _ IRE 'SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1857. ing us from Seeing their movements. We were all astoniThed and disgusted at the backwardness of the Sikhs and Ghoorkas, whom we had thought not deficient iu pluck. They were hiding in all possible places, and it seams that only about 50 irs all fol lowed their officers, who got into the town, drove back their opponents, and took two guns. Every one outside exerted themselves to the utmost to get supports to go in, but not a man would go. As soon as they were collected for this purpose they melted away ; added to this, that from the smoke and crackling of the burning thatch we could neither see our assaulting party nor bear their bugles ; and after about 20 minutes, finding it impossible to get men to follow any of us in, it vas necessary to re call them, and as I rode to do so I met them coming out, having been driven back by the enemy, who rallied when they saw how few there were, and that they were unsupported. They had lost about 25 men killed and wounded, including Capt. Smith, who was badly shot in the arm, a native officer killed, another mortally wounded ; altogether, our loss had amounted to 15 killed and 20 wounded. There was then nothing f:)r it but to retire, which was done after a short halt on the other side of the nullah in good order, the baggage being sent first. "About four miles from — fliana Ethawun, we came opposite a large village called Lohane, a great number of armed men issued from that place and came down upon our left flank, probably seeing the baggage and thinking that the whole column was in disorder, but we speedily undeceived them, the Irregular and Affghan levies charging them in three separate parties under Low, Melville, and myself. We cut up about 60 or 70 of them in about ten minutes, and dispersed the rest, but unfortu nately Low, with more spirit than caution, followed them into the village and got into a scrape, having his reins cut and himself severely wounded in three places. After this we continued our march un molested to the river Hindun, which we crossed and bivouacked for a couple of hours, and then wont on to Mozuffurnuggur, which we reached at 12 o'clock p.m., having thus marched 36 miles, besides a hard day's fighting. Our total loss was 15 killed and 23 wounded, including three English and two native officers. Our force consisted of 160 cavalry, 200 infantry, two Horse Artillery guns, and my two guns. " Sept. 23. " This day a force, consisting of English cavalry and riflemen, 300 Sikhs two 9-pounders and two 6-pounder guns, and four small mortars, have arrived from Meerut to enable us to smash Thana Bhawna. The force will march this night, and, I doubt not, do the work well. The Ghoorkas are to stay and garrison this place (Mozuffurnuggur), and my two little guns, which are worked by their com rades likewise. I shall, however, accompany the force in my civil capacity alone. We have received at last the news of the complete occupation of Delhi by our trolps, and last night fired a salute in con sequence ; but I fear our people have suffered very severely. DESCRIPTION OF THE SIEGE OF DELHI. The following particulars are extracted from an interesting letter forwarded to his father at York, by a young man who wa3 engaged with the 6th Carabineers in the assault upon Delhi : " Delhi, Sept. 27. . _ ce Delhi at last is in our possession . . . My last letter was dated the 114th of Aug., and since then we have had arrive 16 18-pounders and 6 24- pounders, with six 10-inch morters, to augment our batteries, which were advanced from nearly a mile to under 200 yards from the walls, an I, with the guns we took from them, numbered about 60 play ing upon the city at one time. We lost several men in the erection of the batteries, from the miss ketry from off the walls. The fittest artillery officer, Capt. Fagan, a genileman who never left the bat teries since our first arrival, was shot deli at his gun. On account of the want of artillery we had to assist at the batteries. We had a sergeant shot dead, and a private wounded severely. I may mention that the Rajah of Bareilly, with about 10,000 infentry, 1,000 cavalry, and 14 guns, took up a strong position in our rear, his object being to attack us in that quarter when they attacked us in front from the city ; but as soon as we were made acquainted with it a force was despatched to engage him. We came upon him about 3in the morning, .and, after a most obstinate fight till 9, they were routed with tremendous lose. All their guns, camp, elephants, camel=, three hos of rupees, &c., were captured. Three of the guns were of the most beautiful make—all brass, and the King of Delhi's private property. " And now for the siege. For three days our batteries played incessantly upon the walls, where a slight breach was made. It was the opinion of a great many that the siege would on on until the walls were levelled with the ground ; but on the fourth morning every soldier was ordered to the front. The Rifles and 75th were to enter at the Cashmere-gate ; Sih and Gist by the b7cich ; Ghoorkas, Coke's Rifles, and Ist and 2d Europeans to scale the walls. The Sepoys, seeing the Killes and Sapp-re marching on the gate, inste Ld of allo w ing us to blow up the gatss, saved us trouble by doing it themselves, and immediately crossed bay onets with our Rifles, and owing to their immense numbers kept their ground until the arrival of the 75th, who poured three deadly volleys into them, and then gave a cheer, when the Sepoys turned and ran under cover of two 24-pounders, loaded with grape, in the centre of the street. Our fellows, seeing the flash, dropped on their faces, and won derful to state, only four were wounded. That day we held one side of Delhi, the Sepoys the other. Our loss was very severe, but nothing compared with that of the enemy. " Geo. Nicholson (the Lion of the Punjaub') was wounded while scaling the walls, and has since died of his wounds. Capt. Rosser, of my troop, was shot in the hsad. The ball re:naius there, and he lies in a very precarious condition. A great many officers wore kn: need over. During the day we took 114 gunsand the remaining two magazines. One of them had as much shot and shell as would last an army of 50,000 for three years, and guns of enormous calibre-68-pounders, but all without limbers. After the Sepoys were beaten hack, street after street, tee greater part wont into tie fort, where the King's Palace is. For three days we bombarded it, throwing as many as nine shells a minute ; but so prodigious is its strength that very little mischief was done, our fellows not venturing in at the gate, on account of it being mined, and four 10-inch guns staring them in tile face. At last a breach was m de, and in a short time the fuse - , Palace, and the wh de of Delhi was its our posses sion, after seven dap' hard fighting, and, I sat sorry to add, a severe loss on our side. There are several officers and soldiers here who have served in the Crimea, and declare that Sebastopol suffer ings were below their sufferings h re • and when the Indian sumtne: monsoons and the repeated attacks from the Sepoys in thousands are con sidered, it is not to be wondered at. Before Sir H. Bernard's death our average less was from 100 to 300 each attack. Since General Wilson took command (our Meerut brigadier), which is about six weeks ago, we have not lost 500 up to the assault. . . . As for a description of Delhi, if I except London, England, Ireland, or Scotland cannot pro duce its equal." The writer refers to the Palace, and says : " The old King is iu it, a prisoner. Two of his sons are shot. The one who assumed the cove ' reignty of India has gone with the rebels towards Lucknow. Although their loss was tremendous, it is supposed their force gone away was 12,000, in fantry, 4,000 cavalry, with a few guns, and an onor mous treasury. General Havelock will talk to them, no doubt. We have seat a moveable column of the Lancers, 75tb, Bth, 61st, and the 2d Regiment of Sikhs, with two troops of horse artillery, iu pur suit. " For a description of the riches of Delhi my pen is inadequate. Cashmere shawls, inlaid with gold, bodices covered with gold lace, skirts of dresses, watches, bars of gold, beds of silk and down, such as no uoblemau's house in England' could produce—you would see Sikhs carrying out of Delhi the first day as if they were almost nothing. A shawl which in England would fetch 1001. they were selling for four rupees, and you may depend our fellows were not behind them. . . . It is supposed the Rifles will go to England with up wards of 1,0001. each, though General Wilson has issued an order that the prizes shall be all put toge ther and divided. Most of our men are worth up wards of 100 rupees." The following is a translation of a Persian letter : "Jubbulpore, Oct. 10. " Last week we received the welcome news of the capture of Delhi and relief of Lucknow in suoh a manner as it does no leave the least shadow of doubt. The whole city was illuminated, fireworks were let off, nautches were given, and the bankers and other respectable classes of the city waited upon the authorities, offered their unfeigned congratula tions and nuzranahs. The unfor,unate 52d Regt. Bengal Native Infaniry received an effectual blow from the Madras Artillery and Infantry ; they were shot down like sparrows ; the loss on our side was very trifling. The enemy, no doubt, world have done a great harm if we had no artillery. Upwards of 100 were killed and 09 remainder flew like shots ; some were hui.g in the field of battle, several have been apprehended and executed, to the great joy of the inhabitants, who assembled to see them suffer the last penalty of the law. By the indefatigable exertions of Majors Ers kine, Sleeman, Pinkney, and other officials, every order and security of life and property have been maintained withiun the city up to this moment, but the neighbouring districts trans and cis Nerbudda are in a diattubeii. state. Kuttung-gee, Mujholee, Seehosa, Loharea, Bgteala,Patun, and other towns and villages have been plundered by tho refractory Zemindars and Boond.ailahs. Captain Clerk of the 4th Madras Light Cavalry, Deputy-Commissioner of this place, has gone across the Nerbudda to sup press disturbances and restore order. This officer has greatly distinguished himself in detecting the machination and tamperingof Rajah Shunker Shah and his accomplices. Within the districts of Jhansi Jalone, Rum Gurb, and Boondail libund numer ous petty Zemindars have raised the standard of revolt and rebellion. Nursingkpore, Sundailee, Baitool, Hooshungga bad, and Bhopal by the latest accounts are safe. The Begum of the latterplace proved herself a very stanch and stedfast adherent to the British interest at this critical juncture. Dummoh has been intrusted to the Rajah of Punna. The Maharajah of Reewah is still con tinuing to do good service lo the Government, and there is every likelihood of his Highness's proving faithful. Major Erskine works night and day, and is adopting every precautionary measure against any surprise of the rebels. The day poor Lieut. M'Gregor was buried numerous native gentlemen who attended his, funeral were crying most bitterly. He was an amiable, good-natured young officer. We are all here very much in need of reinforce ments. I hope to God troops may soon arrive here and relieve us of our great anxiety and suspense of mind.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Nov. 20. MANSION-HOUSE.—Mary Ann Shea, alias Magaßeim, a girl 13 years of age, who had been re manded upon the charge of stealinglolb. of old iron and carpenters' 'chisels, worth 2s. 6d., from some promises in course of erection in Mitre-court, Cheap side, was again brought before the Lord Mayor and Mr. Alderman Hale in petty sessions. At the last examination the prisoner, after the charge had been proved against her, confessed her guilt, and begged hard to be allowed to go home, declaring it was her first offence. This assertion, however, was contradicted by police-constable Wm. Morris, No. 419, who stated that he had known the prisoner for a long time, and that she was the con stant associate of juvenile thieves, a number of whom were waiting outside the court to learn the result of the charge. The girl said she was the daughter of Roman Catholic parents, that for a long time past she had been sent out to beg, and to take to her parents whatever money she received. The Lord Mayor, finding that the girl had been brought up in the Roman Catholic faith, directed Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, to communicate with the authorities of the Catholic Reformatory School, Beauchamp-lodge, Hammersmith, and a gentleman from that institution was present during the proceedings at the Mansion-house yesterday. Daniel Magabern, the father of the girl, who had been served with a second summons, after having refused to attend to the first, was called into the witn-:ss-box, and in reply to the Lord Mayor said he was a Roman Catholic, and wished his daughter to go into some reformatory institution. The Girl (crying bitterly)—Oh, father, pray, pray don't send me there ; pray don't, pray don't. The Lord Mayor—Magabern, I understand you are in the habit of writing letters for people in distress. Magabern—No, I do not, indeed ; 1 work hard for my living. I have this year been haymaking, ha.rvtating, and hopping. The Lord Mayor—l have been making inquiries about you, and find that you have been in the Duiblin police. Magabern—That's true. The Lord Mayor—You have also heron in the Excise ? Magabern—Yes. The Lord Mayor—Two years ago you were in the Glasgow police ? Magthern—Ycs ; and I work at the docks some times now. I have two boys and four girls, the eldest of whom is 16. - - - - - A policeman, named M'Kenzie, said, he had known Magabern, his wife, and children, for 10 years. They lived by begging. The Lord Mayor—Magabern; your wife, I am told, refuses to come here, because you have given her a black eye. Magabern-1 did not do it ; she fell against the window. shutter. The Lsrd. Mayor, addressing the girl, said— You may think the seri.' E ice I am about to pass upon you a very severe one, but I am convinced you will hereafter know I am doing ae act of the greatest a li b t o tl u e t to remove you from girl in your unfor- I to am a P t Un a s a i t b e l a p o k s i i n ti ri o n n e . B the custody of very bad parents, who have bad it in their power properly to provide for you and bring you up, and who have not only neglected to do so, but have actually lived upon your success in begging and stealing. You will now be rescued flout. the path of vice and wretchedness, and under o a training which will make you a useful mem ber of 6ociety. Parents are perhaps not aware that they are liable for the maintenance of their children dnrini the time they are detained in a reformatory establishment, and may be imprisoned for non payment. lam determined to free the city of the large number of destitute children who are in the habit of collecting principally in the vicinity of the Royal Exchange. I hope the sentence lam ab )ut to pass will have the effec' , of lessening the number of destitute children who are sent into the streets to beg, and whose parents spend in idleness and prolligacy"the money they are fortunate enough to oLtain. The Shoeblack Society has now become, as it were, a fixed trade, and I hope that the efforts of the Streetsweepers' Society will be equally successful. All the pence given to these lads are appropriated towards their maintenance and instruction ; and as soon as the public are aware of this fact I am sure they will generously aid these poor boys as far as they can. Mary Ann Magabern, it is the opinion of my brother magi strate and myself that you should be imprisoned. for 14 days in the House of Correction at Hollo way ; and that at the expiration of that time you should be sent to the Catholic Reformatory School at Hammersmith for three years. Immediately the sentence was pronounced the girl, who throughout the proceedings was over whelmed with grief, and earnestly implored ber father to take her home with him, fell upon her knees, and firmly grasping the rails in front of the dock, shrieked and screamed most violently. She was carried out of the court in a fainting state. A more painful scene has never been witnessed is a court of justice. Magabern (coolly)—You have done the best thing you could, my Lord. The Lord Mayor—lf you had not been a worth less, idle fellow, there would have been no neces sity for my[sending her to that institution. I have no doubt that when she leaves it she will be able to get into respectable service, and be comfortably situated. GUILDHALL. —Mrs. Elie% Perkins, alias Williams, a ias Elmsley, who was remanded from Thursday upon a charge of imposing upon hotel and boarding-house prop r i e tors, was again brought up, when the porter at Ridley's Hotel attended and said the prisoner applied for accommodation on the afternoon of the 9th inst., mid on being in formed she could not be received she asked where there was a respectable hotel near, and the porter named several, including the Black Bull in Hol born. The Alderman, upon beating this, decided that the porter's evidence had upset the charge of false pretences, and unless there wa3 any other compla'nt she must bo discharged. The prisoner was accordingly liberated. BOW-STREET.—The summons against the six booksellers in Holywell-street, on whose premises seizures of obscene books, prints, dm, were made on Friday of last week, h av i ng been made returnable at 3 u eke]: yesterday, the police attended at that appeared for the Home - o ffice, hour and produced th e p ro p er ty seized. Mr. Bodkin again Mr. Orridge attended as counsel for one of the d c * fondants, and Mr. Lewis, jun., as solicitor for an other. Mary'Elliett, of 14, Holywell-street, WAS first called. She at once came for ward and expressed great anxiety to contradict a statement made at the last examination, that she was the same person who on the ocoasion of the former seizure, wrote a peni t-ntial letter to the Home-office, promising not to offend again. She also alleged that some of the books now seized had been returned as unobjec tionable on - tlao former occasion. Inspector Lester said this was not the case. At the former seizure the books, &c., were all of an objectionable character, and none were returned. In this case one book and a few prints were re turned. The remainder were ordered to be retained for 7 days, when they will be destroyed, unless in the case of an appeal, or of any further proceedings on the part of Government. A person who represented himself to be a soli citor's clerk appeared for th© next defendant, Edward Morris, of 25, Wych-street, but, as he produced no written authority from the solicitor in whose name he attended, Mr. Jardine refused to hear him. Defendant did not answer to his name. _ _ Two pictures in frames and one book were ordered to be returned. Several copies of a book called " Aristotle" were condemned and ordered to be detained as in the former case. In the next case the person summoned was Thomas Blackall, of 16, Holywell-street, in whose stead appeared an old man named Dagdale, who stated that he was the owner and occupier of the house. In order to attend he had been brought up on a habeas from Coldbath-fields Prison, where he is at present undergoing a sentence of two years' imprisonment for selling obscene publi cations. He attempted to dispute the proceed ings from the beginning, alleging that the seizure was illegal, and, when overruled on this point, demanding to go over the works seriatim,. After much time had been wasted in lis tening to his somewhat violent declamation, Mr. Jardine disposed of the case by condemning two large parcels of books, arc., and ordering a com paratively small quantity to be returned. Mr. Lewis appeared for the next defendant, William Wye n, and co u tended that the "Aristotle," of which 14 copies had been seized, was a medical work, and not obscene. Mr. Jardine was of a contrary opinion. The title page alone was enough to condemn the book. A quantity of books, pamphlets, &c., were con demned, and a small portion of books, • &c., and some stereotype plates of "Fox's Book of Martyrs" were returned. Mr. Orridge appeared for the next defendant, Richard Wynn, who, he observed, was not a habitual dealer in these works, which had been suffered to creep in among his stock by inadvertence. Mr. Jardine said these observations were no an swer to the charge, but might possibly be taken into account by the authorities in considering the pro priety of instituting further proceedings. In this ease only a small aquintity of books was condemned, and the remainder returned. In the next case the person summoned was John Thornhill, but Dugdale again appeared, and stated that the premises were his. He took the same course as in the former case, insisting uron each of the condemned books being shown to him, and ask ing the magistrate to point out the object'onable portions, which, of course, his worship refused to do. As, however, he failed to show cause against the destruction of the copies the order was made out as in the other cases. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.----Thos. Hayden was charged with stealing a quantity of jewellery and other articles from the shop of his employer, Mr. Richard Waylett,' 232, Oxford-street. Mr. Waylett said the prisoner entered his service about six years ago, and was discharged alSout 13 months back. About a month of er the prisoner hail left him he missed a variety of articles, among them a supr basin and cream jug, now in the hands of the police. The property missed exceeded 201. in value. _ _ _ Police-sergeant Sedgewick f of the West Riding of Yorkshire constabulary, said, on the Ist of May he apprehended the prisoner for robbing his master, Mr. Cooper, of Huddersfield. On reaching the pri soner's house he found a quantity of duplicates re lating to property stolen from his former master, Mr. Waylett. He also found a sugar basin, cream jug, 12 forks, six knives, and other articles, all of which were identified by Mr. Waylett, who had been communicated with as soon as the property was found. The prisoner was sentenced to six months' imprisonment for robbing Mr. Cooper, and after the expiration of the sentence witness took him into cuatody and brought him to London. Thos. Smith, assistant to Mr. Mills, pawnbroker, produced six silver spoons pledged on the 15. h of Nov. 1856; and Wm. Powell, Upper Park-place, produced a tablepoon and six forks pledged last Dec. ; and Wm. Bezant, assistant to Mr. Brooks, 30, Orchard-street, produced a quantity of spoons and other articles pledged at sevrral times. All the property produced was identified by Mr. Waylett. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully I committed. WESTMINSTER. —Mr. Arnold, the presiding magistrate, was occupied for some hours in hearing a charge of libel preferred by Mr. Benjamin cole man, a merchant in the Poultry, against Mr. Edwin Ward Jackson, of 14, Cravenhill-gardens, Bays water, a county magistrate. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, in opening the case, ad- vert ed to there havingbeen a recen t complaint against the defendant for libel at the Mansion-house, which had failed for want of legal proof. The present prosecution was for unlawfully publishing a certain decainatory libel against Mr. Coleman, addressed to Mr. Wm. Dredge, 10, Great George-street, within the district of this court. He first proposed to show the animus which existed in this case, and which was attributable to the defendant owing his, client a large sum of money ; and he would then call witnesses to prove that the letter containing the libel was in the handwriting of the defendant. It had the effect of creating a prejudice in the mind of the gentleman to whom it was addressed, who had had some transactions with the complainant, and a more atrocious, unfounded, unwarrantable, br cow ardly attack had never been made upon the reputa tion of a gentleman whose character had never been impeached. He then read the following letter : "S r,—There is a deep-dyed scoundrel about town who has tried various dodges for the purpose of extorting money. His practice is to scrape acquaintance with gentlemen as with myself, and others, and get to know their history, and then, by trumped up .tales, simulated reports, and perverted statements, to threaten to expose them. I understand he has been lately trying his hand with two gentlemen, one a member of the Stook Ex fnahial e n d g , e, b o a t n h do t f h w e h o i e t h h e r h a a v a r c e s o p m e e c t t a o b l m e y m k e n r c o h w a l n e d t, g b e u u t nd h e a r s circumstances which leave no doubt of their truth. Other cases are mentioned, for which, however, I cannot vouch. Having heard him lo,ast of you among his personal friends, I deem it a duty to a man occupying your posi tion to write and caution you to be on your guard against the advances of this designing plausible Jew, whom I have discovered to be a most cunning unscrupulous man, and whose vocation in the city seems to be to trip up the unguarded and ensnare his benefactors. His name is Coleman. " City, Oat. 12. " P. S. I obviously . cannot give you the name in a letter by p -at, but will give particulars when I see yor.' Mr. Tindal Atkinion added that, the facts of the case at the Mansion-house having come Velure the public, Mr. Dredge, with very gentlemanly feel ing, placed himself in communication with Mr. cotenaan, from whom he had withdrawn his confi dein.; and the present proceedings were resorted to. Mr. W. Dredge, engineer, Great George-street, proved the receipt of the letter above given about the 15th of Oct. He had previously had some busi ness transactions with Mr. o_ , leman, and in conse quence of the letter withdrew some papers which Mr. Coleman had in his possession. In reply to an inquiry from Mr. Sergeant Parry, witness said he was not personally w:quainted with Mr. Jackson, and should not have known him if he had met him. Mr. Benjamin Coleman said he had known the defendant since 1845, and had earl transactions with him since. In the course of business there was correspondence between them. After 1845 or 1846 be had no communication with def ndant, tilt 1855, aoadi not when some communic a ti on t oo k p l ace b e t ween them He knew i k t new th th at e h d e ef w en r d ot a e rit t ' h s e h l a i n b d el w p ri r t o i d ng u , ce a d n . d Mr. Parry, having d ec lar e d that in his informs thigann. upon a H doubtproceedings.h,use,and sera his on the other case, witness haft differed as to t he handwriting on the envelope, put in the followi n g subtsaekqeun subsequent n t th e case at the Mansionevidence respecting monetary transactions between the parties : " We have this 10th day of September, 1850, been paid by and received from Ed win Ward Jackson, Esq., er the hands of Stamper, his solicitor, the sum of 2001 . , as and in full payment and absolute satisfaction and die charge of all and every one and each of our joint and several claims and demands whatsoever set up, and in complete liquidation of all our differences against him ; and in consideration of such payment and receipt we hereby undertake and prom i se that no further misrepre sentation in the Liverpool St ock Exchan g e or elsewhere shall henceforth be made by or through the means, agency, priiity, or procurement of us, or either of u', that be hitherto wa , , now or hereafter may be, a re pudiator of shares or otherwise, in injury or prejudice of his character or to give him annoyance; and that we will do our best endeavours, to counteract any such misre presentation in the said Stock Exchange or elsewhere, to make the contrary (being the truth) appear. " Witness our hands, " COLEMAN AND TODD." " Witness, John Stamper." Witness admitted the validity of the above, but begged to explain. There was a balance of 1,200/. due from defendant to witness and hispartaer, ing out of transactions when they were in business at Liverpool, and defendant was posted as a defaulter. In about 12 months afterwards defendant came to him in the guise of a pauper, with his coat brokeu under the arm, and begged him in the humblest manner to forget the past, to accept 2001. in liqui dation of the 1,200/., that his name as a defaulter might be removed from the Stock Exchange, with an assurance that when his prospects brightened he would act honourably towards the firm in the trans action. In 1855 witness again met him in London, when he said he would pledge his coat to redeem his honour in past transactions, and propose fur ther business. Witness here went into details of business between them, which resulted in cross actions for their respective claims, and defendant having to pay witness 1501. and costs. Five gentlemen were called, who deposed to the best of their belief that the libel was in the hand writing. of the defendant. Mr. Parry said that his client, through him, de nied in the most emphatic terms that he had writ ten. or sent the letter in question. Tho learned barrister, in defence, then went on to de-crihe the present proceeding as part of a deeply laid scheme to extort money from his client by the threat of exposure of some circumstances which had occurred in the earlier period of his life, and the letter as a fabrication for the purpose of carrying on the en deavour with effect. His client, he declared, had a claim against the complainant of 9001. at the time of the settlement in 1846, and also bad a superior claim to the complainent's on the last occasion, but, in an ill-judged moment, paid 1501. before the trial. Mr. Parry then read a number of letters from complainant to defendant, passages of which he characterised as part of the scheme he described. The first of these letters, dated August 20, 1857, said,— " My present object in writing to you ie to again give you the opportunity of meeting me, if you please, for the purpose of handing to you all documents in my possession re:ative to our recent transactions, and of coming to an explicit understanding with you as to my future course of action. If you decline to meet me I shall consider myself entirely relieved from the silence I have observed in the hope of an arrangement in the character and con duct of your transactions with me." After giving th name of the bench of magistrates, the letter went on— " I certainly will never allow you to boll up your head among those gentlmen so long a 4 your moral ob hgations to me remain unadjusted." In a letter written by complainant to Mr. Jervis, defendant's solicitor, bearing date Sept. 4, be says— "Mr. Jackson's transactions with me in 1346 were of such a character as to oblige him to leave Liverpool, and to forfeit the friendship of his leading acquaintances there. I paid for Jackson under most vexatious circum stances, 1,2001. Some months after, dressed up for the occasion, on the false plea of poverty, and mobbing like a child, he induced me to take 2001. for this debt, with a solem❑ promise that if he were ever in a position to do so he would pay the whole." Another letter accused defendant of having "failed to redeem tho promises he bad so frequently made to him," and threatened to " lay before Sir G. Grey the nature of his conduct and transactions with complainant, and also forward a copy of the com munication to the chairman of the Bench of Middle sex Magistrates." The letter concluded by offer ing to refer the matter to the arbitration of any man of standing. Five or six gentlemen, including Mr. Jervis, were put into the witness-box, and swore to the very best of their belief the libel was not in de fendant's handwriting. Some thought there was a little similarity, others were positive there was none. _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Arnold observed that the case appeared by consent to have referred to him for trial. If Mr. Atkinson wished it, he would take the alleged libel and two other letter ,, , admitted by all to be in the handwriting of defendant, home and examine them ; but he would put it to Mr. Atkinson whe ther, in a case of belief like the present, any jury would come to the concrusion that defendant was the writer of the letter ? Mr. Atkinson s iid he could produce overwhelm. ing evidence that it was defendant's writing. Mr. Parry retorted by declaring he could pro• duce a host more witnesses to prove it was not. Some other remarks were made by the learned gentlemen, dining which Mr. Arnold said he was satisfied a jury would not convict. There was not sufficient to justify him in sending the matter before another tribunal, and the case was therefore dismissed. CLERKENWELL.—Ebenezer Hargrave, aged 24, a respectably-dressed young man, who refus©l to give his address, and said he was of no occupa tion, was placol at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with stealino• from the parson of Mr. Wal ter Aske, residing atlB, Queen-street, Clerkenwell, a silver watch of the value of 2t. . The prisoner, who said he was respectably con mooted, and therefore refused his address, but who it was stated had been before convicted, walked be hind the prosecutor and his wife in Sr.. John-street about 2 o'clock, and when near the corner of Spen cer-street, in company with some other men, at tacked the prosecutor and his wife, knocked them both down, and then, cutting the watch chain, took away the watch and ran away. Mr. Ake called out. "Stop thief !" when the prisoner was stopped by Police-constable Fry, 93 G, and when taking him into custody the prisoner dropped the watch, which was picked up by a passer and giyen to the police. Both the prosecutor and wife were hurt by the violence which was used towards them. The prisoner who denied the charge, was com mitted for trial. Country Markets. LIVERPOOL—Nov. 20. At this day's market there was a less attendance of millers and dealers, and a moderate amount of business done. Wheat met a heavy sale, at 2d to 3d per bushel under Tuesday. Flour declined la par sack and barrel, and is to is 6d for Indian corn. Other articles of the trade wore neglected, and prices nominal. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LUDLOW AUTUMN MEETING. FRIDAY, Nov. 20.
