sONIMOIIIM. lism..is,4 LAW II v iTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 16. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF LEOPOLD REDPATH--.THE 'GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS. This. was a dividend meeting in the matter of Leopold Red path. A proof on behalf of the Great Northern Railway Company was put in for 200,0001. and upwards, being the produce of certain stock. Commissioner—Does any one oppose the proof Mr. Lawrance--No one oppose I the proof. The company bad paid, or at all events satisfied every other creditor of the bankrupt. They were deter mined that any suggestion that this man Redpath had got credit, or assumed an appearance, on the strength of his being an officer of the company, should have no foundation. By an act oflastsession 20 and 21 Vic., cap. 138, the company could have proved in competition with the other creditors, in which case the creditors would only have received a fractional dividend of about 2s. in the pound. They hed resolved to pay off all the creditors. Some of the creditors had been paid 15s. in the pound—some more, but every creditor had been satisfied. There was not the slightest legal or moral obligation on the part of the company to do th is. The amou n t o f R e d pa th' s f rau d s, as recited i n the schedule to the account, amounted to 221,0001. He issued fraudulent dividend warrants for 15,5001., making together about 236,0001. By the statute passed last session the amount to to received by the company as dividend on this estate would be applied by them subject to the decision of the Court cf Chancery in the case now before it. The official assignee (Mr. Pennell) said be bad received on account of the estate 30,0001. The proof for 200,0001. was tendered on behalf of the Great Northern Railway Company, by Mr. Mowatt, secretary to the company. The C. , mmissioner—l want to know what power they have to turn this money obtained by fraud into a proof. It was replied by Mr. lAwrance that the act of last session declared 311 the forged shares to be valld. The Commissioner could not see how the act authorised this amount to be treated as a debt due from Redpatb, and defer. ed judgment, as the point was an import t one. Judgment deferred accordingly. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Phillips.) THE CAREER OF " MONTEFIORE," IN RE WOOLF LEVY. This insolvent, who has figured at the Mansion house on several occasions, when charged with al leged forgeries on !he Cape of Good Hope Bank, when he passed as " Montefiore " appeared from. the Queen's Prison on his application to be dis charged under the act. The case, from its extraordinary character, ex cited a good deal of public interest. Mr. Dowse, with wuom was Mr. Macrae appeared to oppose for Mes , rs. Wilson. and Ritchie, merchants at Colombo ; also for Mr. Benson, tobacconist, of Oxford-street, and for the Cape of Good Hope Bank. Mr. Sargood supported the application for dis charge. Tile schedule filed by the insolvent showed that he bad been known as " Montetiore, Langfeldt, and Lyon." He had resided, alth ugh only 30 years of age, in many parts of the world. He owed 6,9061. 4s. 2d., and had 1561. owing to him. He had 26 creditors and seven debtors. The insolvency was attributed to the bill of exchange held by Messrs Wilson and Ritchie having been dishonoured, and the proceedings taken against him at the Gip , of Good Hope. He alleged that he had sustained a loss on the bill of 2,6001. The career of the insolvent, as disclosed by his own examination, presented some remarkable fea tures. He said his real name was " Woolf Levy," by which he wa4 known from his birth, in 1827, un til he parted with it in 1853, in which year he left England. His p: esent debts commenced from Feb., 1854. He was born and educated in this country. In 1846 he first left England and remained in Aus tralia two years, wnere be was in business in his own name of " Woolf Levy." He was iu Sydney, and went to Calcutta with about 30 horses as a speculation. He left Calcutta at thE end of 1849, and was there as " Woolf Levy." He then came to England, which he reached in 1850, and after a sojourn of four months he went to the United States. He went to New York, where he resiled a few months, and travelled through the entire Union. He had a partner. Tuey dealt in various things which they bought at New York and sold in the western parts. They dealt in "Yankee curiosities," which included " wooden nutmegs." Mr. Commissioner Pnillips— What ! Do you mean to say you sold nutmegs of wood, and per suaded them they were spice. Insolvent—They don't know the difference. I, The partnership, it appeared from the insolvents' examination, lasted a couple of years. He had stayed at St. Louis. At that time, which was in 1853, he turned his attention to railways. He had some money, which he had gained by speculati „ns, to about 1,0001. He then used the name of "Monte fibre," which was suggested to him by a gentle man of the same name, as he intended to go to California. He went to California as " Monte bore," and speculated in mining shares. He went to Panama, where be thought of forming a com pany, but di.l nA. Whilst there he contracted a debt with a Niss Cora, which now appeare 1 in the schedule. He went from that place to San Fran- • cisco, where he stayed some months, speculating in land and mining shares. He drew a bill on Sir M. Montefiore for the ac.lommodation of a person named Raphael. _ _ _ Mr. DOW - 3 asked the insolvent whether th e house of Sir M. Montefiore had•any money of his ? Mr. Sar;oo:l objected to the question. The insolvent admitted, in answer to the Com missioner, that he had no authority to draw on the house, and that he had no funds there. He proceeded with his history to state that he left San Francisco in July or Augu4, 1854, when he went to Manilla, on his way to Calcutta, ..Laving, made about 3, 20+ from sp -Tulations, which money he had in a draft at Sau Francisco. Mr. Commissioner Phillips referred to the balance she t, to show the style in which the insolvent had tern living. He hid ben to all parts of the geld territ )ries and in two years the travelling expenses were above 1,600/.. Mr. Sarvo i was riot serprised, remembering what had b, e s .id of travelling in Calitornia. The insolvent went on to say be had 2,7001, which he turned into a draft for 2,6001., which he obtained of a banker named lime, which draft pur ported to be drawn by Burgoyne and Co., ou Bar ing Brothers, of London. From Manilla he went to Hong Kong, in the name of Mon tefiore where he contracted a dent to pay his expenses at Manilla, which were 1 age. He afterwards went to Ceylon, staying at Point de Galle; Colaintio. The steamer broke down. He had some jewels at the time. He came to England in the pomniencement of 1855, with 7001. or 800/., having made about 2,0001. at Colombo. Before he reached England, he went to Egypt and lialy, and also to Cairo and Alex andria. He was a: Florence with about 1,2001., and whilst there h made the acquaintance of a*Mr. Brown, who wanted him to have 1,0001. of him, and after being pressed he took 5001. (A laugh.) The money was spent in travelling about. When he came to England in 1835 be went to Newcastle to look afier a vessel, and there he assumed the name of " Langfeldt," which was the name of an hotel acquaintance, and he adopted it b-cause he did not want to be arrested. He went to Biistol and bought a schooner, named Triumvir, for 3001., which he had repaired, and the parties held the same. He obtained another vessel, the Charles Greed, of Mr. Hewitt, which he sold He was at Bristol about three months, and contracted some debts. He then came to Lond,m, and FUG up at the Clarend n Hotel, in Bond street. Hd had a carriage and pair of horses, with a " tiger." He ha , l obtam. d cigars of Mr. Benson, tobacconist, of Oxford-street, to 521., and stationery from Mr. Rodrigues, of Picca dilly, to 35/., which he now owed. He admitted that tire coat of arms on the paper and envelopes produced had been prepared by that creditor, and no little amusement was aff rded by Mr. Cornmis aioner Phillips tryin; to decipher the motto and the crest, which la - .tec consisted of two lions and a horse. The motto was " Auro est non omnes," which the learned Ci sinner said meant "Every one is not in cash," Sit obs Tvation which caused a peal of laughter.He went, to Edinburgh, and after wards sailed to the Cape of Good Hope. The bank then had cashed his cheques to 798/. He had been in custody fro m Oct., 1655, to 0,3 t , 1856, whenhe was discharged by th e advice of the Attorney. G ral, and he came to Engla n d, w h ere he arrivedhnaedy- 9ne in J an ., 1857, and h a d s i nce then been in prison. A point arose as to the authority of Messrs. Wil son and Ritchie to oppose, but it was established, and in the course of the case there was a discussion as to the bank opposing ; but the opposition went on. Mr. Benson, tobacconist, of Oxford street, d e _ scribed the tkanner in which the insolvent; got into his debt. He appeared in an equipage like a prince and threw down a 51. note, and could not wait for the ch a nge. He afterwards gave orders to 521., which he now owed. Mr. Dowse , a-ked for an adjournment to com municate with Colombo. The petition was filed in - 114 Y, and the schedule in October, so that there had not b een su ffi c i en t time. r. Commissione r Phillips held that the p arties knew he went to prison in January, and might ave communicated with Colombo. Mr. Dowse objected that there was no evidence to 6501. of jewels and precious stones in the posses sion of Mr. Devereux, of Cowes. The insolvent was pi , ioned on the subject. He said he gave up that property for his creditors. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said the same evi dence as in an ordinary case must be given. Mr. Sargood alleged that the insolvent had not a shilling, and could not bring Mr. Devereux from the country. Mr. DoN - vse objected to the balance sheets. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said they certainly did contain extraordinary items. The insolvent had been a long time in prison. The case, after some further discussion, ended by being. adjourned to Saturday ; the opposing parties promising to procure the attendance of Mr. Deve reux. that the result of the proseutor's injuries might be more accurately ascertained. LAMBETH.—Jain s Reynoldp a ladl6 years of age, was finally examined before Mr. Elliott on a charge of throwing Geo. Brookington, a little fellow seven years of age, into the Surrey Canal, by which he had very narrowly escaped drowning. Mrs. Emma Croft deposed that one evening, about a fortnight ago, she saw the prisoner take up the child on his shoulders and fling him into the Surrey Canal. Witness begged of the prisoner, whom she knew to be a good swimmer, to take the child out, but he would not do so. Her cries however, brought a young man named Brown to the spot, and that person took the child from the water in a perfectlyexhausted and insensible state. This witness was subjezted to a severe cress-ex amination by Mr. Solomon, who attended on behalf of the prisoner, but was not shaken in any part of her statement. Richard Brown said the cries of the last witness attracted his attention, a...id on going to the place he was told that there was a child in the water. He rushed into the canal, and soon found the little fel , low under the water, and on taking him out he was in a state of insensibility. Mrs. Crutchley said that the child Brookington was in her charge, and on the evening in question the prisoner came running to her door, and on see ing her said--" Mrs. Crutchley, your little boy is drowned." The little fellow, Brookington himself, was ex amined, and said that, without the slightest provo cation, the prisoner hoistel him on his phoul der, and carrying , him to the bank, flung him right into the canal. Mr. Solomon acknowledged that the case was one of the most extraordinary that during many years' practice had been brought under his observation. The account given to him of the occurrence by his youthful clientwas, that the child commenced call ing him improper names while standing close tothe canal, and on his (the prisoner's) going towards him he slipped over the bank into the water. This he (Mr. Solomon) believed to be the true version of the affair, and did not think it possible that the prisoner could be guilty of so wicked and wanton an act as that described by the witnesses. Mr. Elliott could not see what object the wit nesses could have in misrepresenting the case. Be sides, their testimony was wholly confirmed by the artless statement of the child himself and the con duct of the prisoner, who, while the child was in the water, and without making the slightest effort to get him out, ran to the old woman who had charge of him and told her that her little boy was drowned. Thoegh so young, the conduct of the prisoner was most scandalous and wicked, and he (Mr. Elliott) doubted whether he did his duty strictly in not sending him for trial. He then con victed the prisoner in a penalty of 51., (r, in de fault of payment, to two months' hard labour in the House of Correction. turned a - verdict of " Wilful murder against Je remiah Carcenter," and the Coroner at once issuel his warrant for his committal to take his trial for that offence at the ensuing spring assize 3. THE StTN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEiIif3ER 17, 1857. THE STAVELET CO GLIERY TWELVE PERSONS feFOCA.7". STAVELEY, MONDAY ArYMNOON' To the brief details of this disaster which appeared in our impression yesterday, we have now to add that the colliery is known as the Hollingwood pit and is the largest at these extensive works, employ ing about 300 men. The men left the pit on Satur day afternoon at four o'clock, when everything ap peared to be safe, the furnace man being the only person left in the colliery. The duties of the furnace man conimaneed at 6 o'clock and termina' ed at 6 on Sunday morning. Whilst he was in the pithe thought tie smelt a strong smellofpowder smoke,buttook no notice until another man came to relieve him. At seven o'clock the furnace man was called away by a workman connected with the collery. At four o'clock the same morning a son of Fowkes, a horse keeper, was down the pit, and he noticed some smoke issuing from the lamp room or cabin in the pit bottom. He communicated what he had seen to some other persons, who conveyed the informa tion to Mr. Daniel Cooper, the resident principal underground steward. Mr. Cooper then selected twelve of the most experienced men at the works to accompany him into the pit to put out the tire. They each took a bucket and descended the shaft, when instructions were given by Mr. Cooper to Charles Vardy, a deputy, to open some air doors. Vardy had his doubts about the propriety of doing so, but he states that the order was a positive one from Mr. Cooper to do so, which he did, the con sequence of which was to stop the ventilation, and the foul air backed up the fire upon the men for 700 yards up the incline, and it was necessary then to dam up the air. Before this was done, Mr. Buxton, the underviewer at the Spriugwell col liery, made several attempts to get to the place of the fire, but he could not get nearer than 700 yards. Now the serious nature of the accident became evi dent, and telegrams were therefore sent to Messrs. Woodhouse and Jeffcock, of Derby, engineers to the colliery, and to Mr. John Hedley, the govern ment inspector of mines for the district, for assist ance. Mr. Woodhouse was in London at the time, and Mr. Jeffcock received the message when in church, and he instantly secured some assistants and proceeded tc Staveley by special train. Mr. He 'ley also reached Staveley by the first available train, and immediate measures were taken to arrest the progress of the fire and to extricate the bodies of the sufferers. For the safety of the works the ventilating furnace was allowed to go out, and in order to maintain a current of air water was pumped into the pit by means of two fire-engines. This was accomplished without much difficulty, owing to the proximity of the canal to the colliery. Mr. Jeffock and his assistants and Mr. Hedley pro ceeded down the pit in the afternoon, when it was agreed to dam up the indite, and a number of men were set to work for the purpose. After being in several hours they came upon the bank, and at 8 o'clock they went down the pit again to see the progress of the fire and to confine the foul air at the back of the incline. This was effected at ten o'clock on Sunday night, and after it had been com pleted all the workmen were drawn out of the pit to await the result of this measure. Between one and two o'clock this morning Mr. Woodhouse, mining engineer, arrived at the colliery, when Mr. Jeffock, Mr. Hedley, and Mr. Buxton went down the pit and found the air circulating through its proper course. Another dam was put in about 900 yards down the incline. Mr, Woodhouse and Mr. Hedley then held an interview, and they went to the bottom of the incline, close to the seat of the firs. Finding it dangerous to proceed further down they retraced their steps, and between the bottom of the incline and the last dam which had been put in the following bodies were found, quite dead : Daniel Cooper, resident head under-viewer— married, but no hildren. Alexander Cooper, colliery viewer, brothel to the last-named, who was on a visit to his brother. Alexander Scott, manager of the ventilation of the pit—married, left a widow and two daughters. Thomas Scott, son of the last named deceased. Joel Walters, deputy—widow, 8 grown up per sons. George Wagstaff, collier—widow, but no family. William Chapman, collier—wido w and 8 children. Thomas Truman, lamp-cleaner—married, but no family. The following persons are still in the pit, and no doubt is entertained about their lives having been lost : Joseph Corns, collier—married, but no children. Richard Fowkes—horsekeeper. Fowkes, son of the last named. Thomas Scott, collier—unmarried, Win. Truman, collier—married, widow and 7 children. The bodies were found in the position of men escaping from suffocation, and the distance from the first to the last discovered was 200 yards. The bodies were placed in a workshop to await the co roner's inquest, which was commenced last evening. It being impossible to recover any more bodies at present, Mr. Woodhouse and Mr. Hedley held a consultation, and determined to completely dam up the fire in one part of the pit. THE ALLEGED HOCUSSING AND ROB BERY Off A CALIFOHNIAN DIGGER. Yesterday a very lengthened inquiry took place in the Board-room of St. James's Workhouse, before Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, touch ing the death of James Wilson, who was found by the police on Thursday, night last, in Regent-street, in a dying state. The case excited more than ordinary interest, as it was ascertained that the deceased had lately arrived from the California gold diggings, with a very large amount of money in his possession, and that, having been inveigled into bad company in London, be had been hocussed, and robbed of all he possessed. The following evidence was adduced : John M'Donald, 135 C division, deposed that on Friday night last he found the deceaspd. lying upon the pavement in Regent-street, in an insen sible state. A stretcher was obtained from the station-house in Vine-street, to which he was con veyed, and Mr. Tothill, the divisional surgeon, promptly attended to him, but he died during the night. By the Coroner—The deceased was 35 or 40 years of age. He was dressed as a seafarin.4 man. There was Bs. 6d. upon his person and some trifling articles of property. He had a bruise upon the nose. By the Jury—The deceased was seen at a public house in, the neighbourhood, in the course of the same afternoon, with some disreputable characters, but I have not been able to trace any of them. Mr. Frederick of No. 8, Charles-street, St. Jaines's-square, said be had opened the body of the deceased, and from the appea• antes 114-4 was of opinion death was caused by congestion of the brain, brought on by excessive drinking. Inspector Webb, of the C division, said he had received a letter from the deceased's brother at Brighton, stating that the deceased had been in the police at Hong Kong, in China, and that he after wards went to California. The Jury said they had no doubt the unfortunate man had been hocussed and robbed. '. Verdict—" Died from disease of the brain brought on by the administration of ardent spirits. _HORRIBLE STARVATIoN OF AN INFANT. Yesterday evening a ieegialeoed investigation took place at the Prince of Orange Tavern, Victoria-road, Pimlico, before Mr. Bedford, coroner for WeAminster , touching the death of Henry Clark Tordoff, an infant twelve months old, which was occasioned by starvation and neglect of the mother, Mary Tordoff, under circum stances of a most unparalleled nature. The body of the unfortunate infant was a mere anatomy, and greatly shocked the jury a:id all who witnessed it. A. great quantity of evidence was brought forward, but the history of the case may be condensed into the follow ing brief statement : The mother of the unfortunate child is a woman of dissolute habit, occupying, at the time of the child's death, a miserable abode in Old Pyestreet, Westmin ster. She was frequently in the practice of leaving the deceased without any food, clothing, or care being taken of it. A few weeks back she was a pprehended for the desertion of the child, and sentenced by Mr. Paynter, at the Westminster Police-court, to three infant was imprisonment, at which p eriod the p oor was taken to St. Margaret's workhouse in a most drplor able state, being in a frightfully emaciated condition, and covered with sores and vermin. Mr. John Lavies, surgeon to St. Margaret's parish, said he attended the child when brought to the work house; in all his experience he never witnessed so lament able an object as the poor infant was, it was only covered with a few rags which were swarming with ver min, and the body was not only frightfully emaciated but literally a mas of corruption. Every possible nourishment and the greatest attention was paid to the unfortunate babe, but it never rallied, and died on Fri• day. On a post mortem examination he found the stomach inflamed, the ventricles full of fluid, and the intestines withered and bloodless. Thu whole was the result of long neglect and starvation. The jury, after commenting upon the dreadful nature of the case, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Mary Tordoff, the mother of the child, A SHARP RETORT.—A Justice of Peace seeing a parson o❑ a very stately horse, riding between London and Hampstead, said to some gentlemen who were with him, "Do you see what a beautiful horse that proud parson has got ? I'll banter him a little." Doctor," said be, "you don't follow the example of your great Master, who was humbly content to ride upon an ass." —" Why, Sir," replied the parson, "The Bing has made so many asses Justices, that an honest clergyman can hardly find one to ride if he had a wind to it," POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 16. MARYLEBONE.—Anne Bentley was charged with having stabbed James Bentley, her husband. The pri-oner, who denied having stabbed her husband, was fully committed for cutting and wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Mary Chalk was charged with having stabbed a man named Patrick King. The prisoner stands committed for trial for the stabbing, but for the complexion of the evidence will be brought up again to-morrow (this day). WESTMINSTER.—Benjamin Nichols, a very respectable looking man, 57 years of age, the pro prietor of a genteel lodging-house at 15, Marl borough-place, Brighton, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a travelling bag containing dee Is, papers, jewellery, and other articles of con siderable value, toe pr , perty of Mrs. M'Alpin, of 108, Eaton-square, and Castlebar, Sergeant Smith, a very intelligent detective officer of the A division, stated that having been in formed of the disappearance of the bag in ques tion, from information he received, he went to the prisoner's house in Brighton on Saturday, and saw his wife, who said he was out, but upon witness informing her that he knew he was at home, as he bad just seen him in the house, the accused made his appearance. Witness then told him that he was a detective officer, and wished to know how he obtained possession of a gold bracelet which he bad sold to a pawnbroker named Tate, near Windmill street, Haymarket. Prisoner replied that he bought it on the 28th or 29th of July last of a gentleman's servant in Dublin, but could neither tell his name nor where he lited. Witness said this account was very unsatisfactory, and he should therefore take him into custody, and then read over to the ac cused a list of the articles stolen in the bag, among which was the bracelet. Witness then commenced searching the house, and found five pawn brokers' tickets, one of which related to a silver fork, knife, and telescope, also upon the list ; and, upon witness pointing that fact out, the accused nodded his head in assent. At this juncture witness saw prisoner's wife endea vouring to remove something from a corner of the room, and, taking it away from her, he found it was a bundle addressed " Mr. M'Alpin, 108, Eaton square," and contained the papers and deeds which had been in the bag. Prisoner admitted the fact, and said he had directed the parcel with his own hand and intended to send it home. Several other articles which had been in the bag were then found in the house, and prisoner then gave the following account of 11 , s possession of the bag :—On the 27th of July he went with Mr. Bagwell, M.P., from Brighton to Ireland in the capacity of butler, and finding a large black leathern bag which did not I elong to his employer among his luggage in Ire land, brought it to London with him, and there opened it, after which he did not know what to do. He thought of sending the papers back, as he con sidered they might be of great value to the person owning the b g. Mr. Tate, of 1, Cambridge-street, Golden-square, pawnbroker, produced a gold armlet which he bought of the prisoner on the sth of October for 1/. ss. Colonel Dixon, staying at the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn-street, trustee to the late. Colonel M'Al pin's property, identified the armlet produced as Mrs. M'Alpin's. Mr. Arnold said he did not see what there was at present to give himjurisdiction. Colonel Dixon explained the circumstances under which the property was lost. On the morning of the 28th of July Mrs. M'Alpin left Eaton-square for the west of Ireland, and as the bag contained valuable papers and jewels gave it in particular charge to one of her servants. He saw the lady off on the morning in question. The bag was not missed until the lady's arrival in Ireland, when the natter was communicated to him, and he put it into the hands of the pollee. When the prisoner was brought to London from Brighton he told him (Colonel Dixon) that if he w uld not pro.ecule he I would tell him where all the rest of the things were. Mr. Arnold inquired whether any of the stolen property had been found in his district ? Sergeant Smith was not aware of any. _ _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Arnold observed that a magistrate had ju risdiction where a felony had been committed or where the property w.s disposed of, but neither had occurred in the district of the Court. Sergeant Smith said he had brought the accused here, because the property was never seen by the owner's servants after they left Eaton-square ; he could not say where it had been stolen. Prisoner said he was most desirous of telling the whole truth now if the magistrate would hear Min. Mr. Arnold, after the usual caution, told him that he might proceed. Prisoner then, having repeated that he was en- ' gaged to accompany Mr. Bagwell to Ireland, said that he had charg e of 38 boxes of luggage of that gentleman and his servants. They left Euston square in the morniug and arrived at Holyhead at a quarter past 6iu the evening, when the boat was in a great hurry, and there was, as usual, much con fusion both in embarking , there and disembarking at Kingstown, in consequence of which passengers ' luggage got mixed. When he arrived at Kildare street, Dublin, he bad his right number of boxes and parcels, but there was a strange black bag which did not belong to his employer in place of a carriage box containing linen, jewelry, and other valuables belonging to Mrs. Bagwell. He wrote to every station they had been at respecting the missing . b )x audio three weeks after it was forwarded with a note stating it had been found. with Mrs. WAlpi 128 luggage. The bag had no direction or brass plate and be did not know who it belonged to. He brAL;ht it with him to town and, unfortu nately opened it ; then he discovered whoit belonged to, but made away with some of the things. Colonel Dixon, after observing that the bag was marked and addressed must carefully "Mrs. M'A.l - lebar," and its lass duly advertised, with the offer of a reward, observed that he had re centiy received a letter purporting to come from a courier in Switzerland, intimating that if 101. were given the papers contained in the bag would be restored to the owner, which was doubtless the act of some person in league with the prisoner. The accused pretended to know nothing about it. Mr. Arnold jaid he should remand him for eight days, when, unless som-thing occurred to give him jurisdiction, prisoner must be sent to the court of the district where some part of the stolen property was found. WO RSH IP-STREET. —Robert Merritt, a hair dressvr in Beidport-place, Hoxton, was charged with wilful cutting and wounding. Mr. Edward Loveriilg a clerk in a mercantile house in the city, -hose forehead and part of whose face were covered with hospital bandages, stated 1 that leaving some time before left a case of razors with the defendant, that they might be reset, he on Friday night called the-re and asked for them, and found to his annoyance that they had not been done. He said, if chat was the case he. would take them away es they were ; defendant said he had better not do so, but he persisted, and the defend ant then insisted that he should pay for their beingreset, though they had not been. "I, of course refused to do that," sad the witness, "and seeing he was about to lay hold of me, I retreated into the street two or three yards, followed by the de fendant, who then seized and tried to ho:d me, but I got away from him by pushing him off me, and he immediately struck me all his force on one of my eyes. The blow was so violent that it was directly followed by a great deal of blood, and I found that I had three distinct cuts, one in the temple and two beneath the eye, from each of which pieces of glass have been extracted. I was then taken to the hospital, and have now to get back there again." Sugg, a constable, heard that a man was bleeding very badly, and going up found the last witness standing at the door of a chemist with blood flow ing profusely down his face, pieces of broken glass in his hair, and other pieces. scattered about the pavement close to the defendant's shop. De fendant, who said he done it in self-defence, was lodged iu the station, and the prosecutor was taken to the house of the divisional surgeon, but the latter t _ ordered him. to be taken at once to the hos- Pniowal,vhere witness took him, the house-surgeon as directing that h we e ha s as h ro o gv u ee ld r b: 3 brought back again Isnoo answernasthetocatshee was dressing a genilem a ' hair not being the defendant said he aanscdontrous that he had a at the time of this dispute, and, glass bottle in his hanit, much excited, he struck the complainant in the f l u ng .but be was now very sorry should have done so ; he bad a wife and a large s- 1 family to sup thaet with h the bottle, sup port, and hoped that it would be forgiven. He was remanded, however, to th . s d a y week, THE STEVENAGE MURDER. STEVENAGE, Nor. 16. The inquiry into the death of John Stacking; the police-constable, who was so brutally murdered on the 30th ult., near this town, was renewed to day before Mr. 0. Tines, the coroner for the county of Herts. Capt. Robertson, the chief constable of the Herts constabulary, was present during the proceedings. During the interval that has elapsed since the ad journment, through the exertions of Mr. Barnes, the superintendent, and Mr. Hawkes, the inspector of the district, most important additional evidence has been obtained, and the result has been that the charge appears to be clearly established against Jeremiah Carpenter, the man in custody. Mr. Barnes was the first witness examined, and he stated that he apprehended Carpenter on the 3d Nov., at two o'clock in the afternoon, and his at tention was called to the shirt he had on, and he asked him to account for some stains that appeared en the left wristband, and which there seemed to have been some attempts to remove. The wris - band appeared to be stiffened by something that had been placed upon it, and the prisoner said it was caused by the lotion he had been using for his leg. He afterwards found a wicker basket in the prisoner's house, in which there were a few grains of wheat and barley, and the prisoner's wife, in his presence, said, " There's no wheat there; don't you think if there had been any wheat there we should have got rid of it 2" He afterwards observed spots of blood on the basket, and he cut out that part of the basket and handed it to Dr. Taylor. When he first found the basket the wife of the pri soner said, " You can't make blood where there is no blood, can you T' When the prisoner was exa mined before t he magistrates, and witness stated that he had. found blood on his clothes, the prisoner inter { osed, and said, "It wasuot the blood of that man." The basket, when he first took possession of it, was quite wet, and appeared as though it had just been wasbe I. On Fridaylast witness recovered possession of some pieces of smock-frock from Inspector Hawkes. There were some marks of blood upon them. He had searched the prisoner's cotttage be fore, and he could swear positively that there were no pieces of smock-frock in the cottage upon the occasion when he made the search. Upon the left gaiter of the prisoner a button was missing which appeared to have been dragged off, and a button has since been found near the spot where the strug gle took place. Several buttons were off the other gaiter, and all the buttons at present on the gaiters were odd ones. The witness then stated the mea sured distance from the prisoner's cottage to the place where the murder had been committed, and also that he found five freshly pulled turnips from a field leading from Mr. Home's (his master's) farm, and in a pigsty at the prisoner's house he saw some Swede turnip parings of a similar description to those which had been pulled up. Upon searching the prisoner's house he found about a bushel and a half of barley in the bed room. The portions of the frock that were found were produced. The arms appeared to have been torn from the body, and small blood spots were dis tinctly visible. In answer to a question put by the jury, the superintendent said that there were no turnips growing in the prisoner's garden. The clothes of the prisoner were then produced, and the curs in them pointed out, and Mr. Smith, the surgeon, stated his opinion that all these cuts might have been produced by the knife found on prisoner, and that they corresponded with the blade. The surgeon also stated that he had no doubt that the spots on the smock-fie:ok were blood. David Carpenter, a toy about 17, the son of the, prisoner, was then examined, and after some hesi tation he admitted that the knife that had been produced by the poli e belonged to his father. Inspector Hawkes said that on Friday last he made a further search in the prisoner's house, and in a cupboard he found two torn pieces of a smock frock with blood upon them. He bad searched that particular cupboard once fully before, and he was certain these piece of smock-frock had been placed there since the former search. William Isgate, police-constable, proved that - on Saturday last he made a search near the spot where the struggletook place, and upon sifting some mould carefully he found a button of a gaiter, which he produced. Inspector Capron, of the Herts constabulary, de posed that on Nov. 3d he conveyed the prisoner from Stevenage to Hitchin, and as they were going along heObserved to the prisoner, " It is an awful murder, and it is an awful thing for you to be charged with it." The prisoner replied, " You did not see me do it, nor nobody else—th-y have gotto find that out ; and if they find out I done it, I must bide the consequences, that's all." After the pri soner was at the station witness observed some blood on a piece of stuff he had been using to bathe his leg, and he asked him how it came there, and he said it came from his nose, which always bled when he ha , l a coil. William Day, a labourer, proved that on the morning of the day on which the prisoner was taken into custody he called at his cottage and asked him how his leg was, and he said it was a little better. Witness then said it was a shocking thing about the murder, and he supposed they would try to bring him (Carpenter) in for it. The prisoner re plied, " I dare say they'll have me to-day, because there's been two doctors looking at me ; but I am innocent ; and ill am innocent they cannot hurt me." Wm. Shepherd, the lad who was examined on the former occasion, was recalled, and he said that on the Saturday after Carpenter hurt his leg Mrs. Carpenter came to him in the morning, and said that he must not say anything about Master Car penter hurting his foot in the school, because if he did they'd pay ltim and his father too. On the even ing the accident took place his father also told him if he said anything about Carpenter's accident he would " pay him"—meaning he would thrash him. There being no further evidence to lay before the jury, The Coroner proceeded to sum up the whole of the evidence with • great coolness and preci sion, He said there could be no doubt, he appre hended, in their minds that the unfortunate de ceased had met his death by the violent act of some person, and that act would amount to the crime of wilful murder. The evidence seemed to point against one person, and if they should be of opinion that it was sufficient to show that he was the guilty party, it would be their duty to say so by their verdict ; but if they thought it was not conclusive, they would be justified in returning an open ver dict, and saying that the deceased was wilfully mur dered by some person unknown. I The jury, after deliberating for a short time, re- THEBOMBAY COIN SPIRATORS EXECUTED You will hardly be surprised, after the hints I have on several occasions thrown out, to hear that has spread in the Bombay army m ; u a t n in d o , u feeling as we have ve had an exemplification of it here, I will give you such details respecting it as may be depended on, more especially as none will appear in the newspapers. For some time past the 10th, stationed here, have been looked upon with suspicion—the 11th was not much better. The fall of Delhi and the relief of Lucknow have not served to quiet, but rather to excite this spirit of disaffection : for you must always bear in mind that the process of ratiocination is very different in the native mind to that which generally obtains in the European—in fact, the two would in most cases arrive at exactly opposite conclusions. More than one little significant fact had been pointed out to our Deputy Commissioner of Police that mischief was brewing, and that to a very considerable extent. It was surmised, and with truth, that these men, in conjunction with the Native Marine Battalion, were in communication with their comrades at Bushire—viz., the 26th Bombay Native Infantry and the 3d Cavalry. All means were set on foot to discover how much .of truth there was in all these surmises and rumours, when lo a Sepoy of the 10th called privately on the Deputy-Commis sioner of Police, and after narrating all the de tails of the plot in course of maturity, offered to give positive proof if the authorities would engage a room adjoining that in which the con spirators were to hold their last meeting pre vious to operations. In the meantime the 26th and 3d Cavalry arrived. This was . the only event waited for. But somewhat to the sur prise of these gentry, the cavalry was ordered at once to Sholapore, while the 26th were as suddenly despatched to Khandeish. But, courage ! The plan was too far advanced to be given up now ; so the meeting was to be held, and held it was. And now, in your mind's eye, imagine some 50 natives, with a gleam of moody satisfaction sparkling from their deep black eyes, crowded round on the floor of a dark room, in ad ingy native house, in a low district of Bombay. Silence ensues as each one turns to a non-commissioned officer, who with quiet malicious triumph lays bare the full-matured plan. But stop I What chink is that in he dirty plaster ? Whose bright eye is that peering through that mysterious little "hole in the wall ?" It is remarkably like that of our Deputy Commissioner of Police. But no mat ter. "The plan ! the plan's the thing !" "The Regu lars shall disperse in small bodies in different direc tions, and fire the Fort, murder the Europeans, and then take possession of the treasury and arsenal. The budmashes, or vagabonds, shall be rewarded for their adhesion, by having the outside bungalows left entirely to their disposal. There may not be much money ; but then there are plenty of women and children to be massacred—far more to their taste. " Admirable arrangement—especially the latter, as I happen to live in an outside bungalow. But to proceed. One wary man suggests danger to be apprehended from the ships in harbour. Another alludes to a probable difficulty in getting out of the island, supposing the first success to be complete. Another hints at troops from Poona stopping their progress and turning the tables. Bat Havildar Syed Hoossein (mark his name, you'll hear of him again by-and-by), with loud voice and menacing aspect, taunts them as cowards, and crushes objection with a satanic laugh. "No; done it must and shall be—O c tobe r the 13th— a t mid night. All at one stroke, spare not woman or child. The Prophet bath so said." But I don't see that twinkling black eye at the crevice or hole. And, hark! Why surely that must be sounds of heavy footsteps on the stairs. What, conspirators to your feet! Where is your vaunted courage now ? A little sound and frightened. " ' Tis conscience that makes cowards of us all." Again, another sound, a crash, and change the scene. In se parate cells of Fort St. George, crouching on the ground, are seen dejected looking men with still a vicious scowl upon their brows. Yonder, see as he is led forth to trial, that tall, large, be-whiskered man, not quite downcast yet • still, as he sees the sneer levelled at him by the European guard, there is the haughty look of defiance and cruelty, so cha racteristic of the Mussulman. Again, another change ; the charge is read, evidence is adduced— evidence strong as Holy Writ—" conspiracy, trea son," all proved. (This also refers to another, a private, who was tried at the same time.) The sentence is passed. What? •Transportation for life. " Revise your sentence," briefly returns the brigadier commanding (Short.) The revision is made. " How say you now ?" " Death." " Con firmed," says the Brigadier. Once more a change of scene. It is four o'clock in the afternoon, and crowds of all castes, creeds, and colours, are ga thering on the esplanade. Look yonder across the grass. Ala ! that is the 10th taking up its posi tion. As fine a body of men as ever stepped ; a regiment 1,100 strong. How well they look—how soldierly their mien! Thos.e men traitors ! I dare swear, in his heart, that not a man is free from taint. Ah ! there they come, anotherregiment, the 11th, not equal to the 10th, but still a very soldier like body of men. Now, look round towards . Fort St. George, do you see there, jxst under the port cullis, a dark moving mass ? That is a body of ar tillerymen flanked by eight pieces of heavy cannon, following, not quite in such regular order, nor with so soldierly a step, some 300 sailors, armed with muskets and cutlasses. These gentlemen have a look of restlessness, as though it were their most particular wish to doff the blue jacket, tuck up their shirt sleeves and go in and win—as no doubt they would. But Jack, my boy, you must wait awhile ; for the present, march away there, and take up a position to the left, a little to the rear of those guns. Again there is a shadow on the portal. A silence--olemn, grand —pervades the neigh bourhood. The head of a column debouches on the plain ;it is her Majesty's 95th. Hark ! was there not a clank of chains ? Ali ! see between those guns ! How slowly they walk ! No look of triumph now ! Onwards to their position, and then ! Two large guns are moved to the front, clear to view. Havilder Syed Hoossein marches with a soldier's tread, but with a hang-dog look, and halts ; his regimental jacket is stript from his shoulders; he is strapped, arms to the muzzle ; he looks be seechingly to his comrades of the th—no sign ; to the 11th—no help. Captain Rthon stands by giving orders ; the unhappy wretch makes .a last appeal. Qh, sorry he is !he never meant it, not he ; he always loved his good masters so much? "Oh, sahib ! captain sahib ! pardon, dear, dear captain !" His words were almost the only sounds heard. The last rope is tied ; the artil lerymen fall back ; only the man with the pore-fire there. The criminal is alone, face to face with death. The whole multitude seems to hold its breath, —one feels a-choking, —when "Ready!' suedes the ear,—then, "Fire I "—and the man is shattered to atoms. It was a sickening sight. To show how completely the native regiments on the ground were provided for in case of movement, I may safely say, that had an attempt been made at a rise, the guns were so placed that not a sepoy would have left the ground alive ; and at this mo ment the guns on the ramparts command every inch of the lines occupied by the native regiments. Now you must riot suppose that this is the end —I am inclined to think it is only the beginning. We must not forget that the 3d Cavalry is unques tionably tainted, as also the 26th; and General Schuler has gone on a special mission to Sat tare, as I think, because the 22d there is on a par with the rest, and something is to be done ; while at Belgaum another sergeant has followed suit to our departed friend, Syed Hoossein. By the-by, I should mention that others are on trial, and no doubt next week will witness several other "military executions." A part of the plan which I have omitted to mention was, that on Thursday last, as a great number of Europeans would be at a concert in the Town-hall, given by a gentleman from Australia, Calif o r n i a , &c., named Massett, a in swoop" w noas d t o o u b b e t a made most o nthis horrible unarmed mas massacre narse :efebli w la s ge o , and would have been the result. Just realise all this, and then say if we have not reasons to be g ra t e ful, first to Al mighty God, and then for the human means so sk i lf u ll y employe d f or o ur secur i ty. However, all this puts us, of course, more than ever on our guard, and I think it will go hard, if any attack should be made, if these "gentlemen in black" don't meet with a warmer reception than even this hot climate is in the habit of affording them.--U.rresponclent of Morning Advertiser. ACCIDENT FROG NIACUINEHY.—ONE MAN KILLED AND THREE OTHERS SERIOUSLY INJURED.—Yesterday morning, shortly before 3 o'clock, a shocking accident occurred at the manufactory of Messrs. Humphrey, Tennent, and Dykes, engineers, Deptford-green, by which one man was killed, and three others seriously injured. It appears that the unfortunate men were en gaged in working a, tr av elling crane, which runs across the shop at an altitude of about 20 feet, the weight it was engaged in lifting being little over 4 tons, at leait 5 times that weight havi ng been previously lifted. This mass was raised about 15 feet, %Shen suddenly the cra.,e and the machinery attached to it fell with a fearful crash, carrying the injured in n with it, causing great conster nation throughout the works. On assistance being ren. cored it was found that the whole of the men had received extensive injuries, and they were conveyed at once on board the Dreadnought hospital ship. They were, G. Marchant, v er y much hurt about the legs and back ; J. Smith, serious injury to the head ; J. Elliott, both legs fractured (thi s poor fe ll ow exp i re d soon after his admis sion on board the Dreadnought); and Frederick Boyes, severe internal injuries. The accident arose from the breaking of a portion of the heavy woodwork. BANK RETURNS.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 14. The I rrorth of Europe S , eain Company's packet Leipsic, Captain Rivers, which has been employed in recovering the submerged cable, arrived here this morning and proceeded to Keyham-yard. The operation was commenced by Mr. Bright, the engi neer, on the 22d ult. The heavy inshore cable was und.er run from the station at Valencia on a catamaran, formed of a timber framing bearing a saddle. fixed between two long iron buoys ; this was t , wed. by the steamer. At a distance of five miles, which. was attained on the 31st Oct., the galas having interfered with the work, the bearings were taken, and the wire was attached to three chain cables, fitted with a buoy, at a short distance apart, for connexion 'with the ocean line to be laid next spring, when operations will recommence. On Thursday, the sth inst., after the wind had abated. the steamer went 10 milts out, grappled the light cable, paid commenced hauling in, with the aid of a small engine on deck, which was calculated, with the machinery attached, to draw about two miles p-r hour in tine weather, and a mile and a quarter when there was much sea on. About 53 miles of t e ocean wire—and the remainder of the inshore cable about five miles—were thus recovered. At a quarter-past 4 o'cl.ick on Friday, the 6th inst., when a heavy swell and sea prevailed, the wire patted. The bottom there was rocky, and it is not improbable that the wire, which is capable of bearing a strain of four tons, was broken by the unt;ven character of the ground ; the drift of the steamer making very little way with the wind on her quarter would tend to bring a heavy strain upon the cable if it lay in a clt-ft. The weather was very rough and unsuitible for the work—the Atlantic swell being always heavy at this season ; and the recovery of the remainder must be postponed until next spring, when a 81 1121 1 steamer will be sent to meet the Agamemnon, and to assi:,t in making the splice with the shore end. It is very satisfactory to know that the sub merged wile bears no appearance of injury, and the whole of the recovered cable can be used again. There is, of course, a little rust on the 12 wires which protect the inshore cable, but on rubbing with the finger they become bright again ; none of the gotta percha coatings are disturbed and the tarring of the wire seems to have stood exceedingly well. In manufacturing the inshore cable an outer wire would occasirxially break, when the part was lashed round with smaller wire ; these lashings are also undisturbed. The telegraph cable in the Agamemnon is pas sing at the rate of about a mile per hour from her hold to the tanks. It goes through a composition of tar, pitch, linseed oil, and beeswax, and is coiled in circles so comp tot as to prevent the admission of air. About 250 miles are.landed, and there are a thousand yet on board. In oilier to facilitate the departure of the Niagara for New York her 'girl was discharged with greater rapidity, and a por tion of it is now passing a second time, but m ore slwily, through the composition, to make its aPP ir cation more complete. An asphalted roof cove rs Ora , tanks, which .are securely caulked to insure the entire saturation of the cable with the solution, which will effectually prevent any oxidation from string iu. The old powder magazine on the north side of the Keyha,m Docks is filled with the machi nery, hawsers, buoys, lamps, and other stores aPPer &titling to the enterprise. C ountry Markets.
