IVIANCIIESTER RACES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) CHESTERFIELD HANDICAP. Prince of Denmark. . . Baroness filly Madame Ristori. , Five ran. ' AronvED.--Pyrrhus 11. and Thorn Lil. v E '1 T AND bOrteniEROTAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, and prices were without any material al teration. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators. The Railway Share Market closed with a steady appearance, at a slight improvement in the rates of all the leading stocks. Although the produce markets may be considered quiet, there is a steady demand for all the principal articles of consumption, and prices, consequently, remain firm. Sugar, at public sale, is readily dis posed of, especially inferior kinds, which are wanted for exportation, and most kinds realise previous quotations. The Dutch Trading Company's sale held in Holland yesterday consisted of 2,312 bas kets of Java, which went at about 6 guilders be low tho rates obtained in July last. This reduc tion brings the quotations down to the currency here. Coffee and tea are firm, and rice, though dull, is not cheaper. Saltpetre has been at enhanced prices, jedigo is maintained, and tallow remains heavy. We alluded yesterday to the failure of a private banking establishment. It is that of Messrs. Harrison and Watson of Hull, an old and respect able firm, whose embarrassments it is presumed, have been chiefly caused by imprudent advances in the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills Company, now in Process of winding up. This concern had a capital o f 337,5001., but it now owes 280,0001. on deben ture and banking account, and has expended 36 0,000/. on buildings and machinery. This result Was wholly unexpected, as dividends of 12} per Cent. have been paid, and some of the shareholders, dreading the responsibility of their situation, would he glad to give a bonus of 201. per share to transfer t heir liability. .No statement has been made as to the assets and liabilities of Messrs. Harrison and Watson. _ _ The directors of the Mercantile Bank of India have announced a dividend of 5 per cent., and bonus, being equal to 7 per cent. for the half-year eliding the 30th June. .A. further improvement took place on the Paris llourse yesterday, the 3 per Cents. having closed at 67.30 for money, and 67.35 for the end of the konth. Railway Shares generally advanced 10f. to 15f. It is said that a demand has arisen for Russian Railway Shares, and the price is 5121 per 60 0 franc share. At the meeting of the shareholders of the Gee- L °t.g and Ballarat Railway Company to-day the r esolution for winding up the Company, passe d at t he former meeting, was confirmed. The sum re turnable will be 11d. per share on the whole capital. The Money Market is rather easie r as re g ards the demand, but full rates are still paid for discount ,m comodatioia. An increased inquiry will no ed oubt soon prevail, owing to the preparations for t he 4th of the month, and the specie remittances to 'tdia and China at the same period. There is no new feature to report in connection kith the English Stock Market, which remains ` ll , a most inactive state. Business is at a corn - I' , Leto stand, and the quotations are almost olninal. No revival is anticipated until the o verland Mail is announced, when the course of allotations will be determined by the nature of the t i l l l telligence. The public, as investers, as well as i‘s e speculators, keep aloof, and the market, al ugh dull, continues steady. Consols for, trans ferM have been 90 to 90i • and for account, 90j I ndia Bonds, under I,oook, are marked 255. dis ; and Exchequer Bills are 10s. to . 6s. dis kltn.t.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE THE LONDON AND WEST OF IRELAND FISHING AND FISH MANIIRE COMPANY (LIMITED).-PETITION TO WIND UP THE AFFAIRS. To-day was appointed for proceedings under a peti- tion for winding up the affairs of this company, under the provisions of the Joint-Stook Companies Act of 185 G. Mr. Lowrance appeared to support the petition, which had been presented on behalf of Col. Daniel, of Gros. venor-square, the holder of 25 shares, and applied for an order for the winding-up. Mr. Roxburgh appeared fit the company to oppose the granting the order, and Mr. Chidley and Mr. Linklater for the shareholders. Mr. Roxburgh took a preliminary objection to the crier being made, that the eharth‘ 1 :ors had taken all the steps necessary fora voluntary winding-up of the company, and the appointment of a liquidator. A pre litnivary meeting was hold on the 14th of August, when a special resolution was passed for the voluntary winding up of the Company, and ,a liquidator appointed at a second meeting held on the 15th of September, awl therefore became a binding re , olution on all the abate holders, having been agreed to by three-fourths of the shareholders at the first meetin4. He therefore con tended that no contributor was aqerwarde at liberty to present a petition, and that the Court bad no power to make an order which would poetically rescind the reso lution of the shareholders. Mr. Linklater, oa behalf of Mr. Wtryghte, followed on the same side, ar d further urged that the petitioner was present at the first meeting, and was very ac. tive in adopting the resolution to which ho assented, and therefore, he was not at liberty to present the petition. Mr. Chidley, for several shareholders, also argued that the Court had no power to make the order, as although the petition was presented on the 14th of September, the day before the resolution was confirmed —he centended that the proceedings for winding up must date from the 14th of August when the first reso lution was passed, and the confirmation was only required of :lbsent or diieentient shareholders. ills Ilonour—By the 34th section it would not be a special resolution unless confirme.3. Mr. Chidley urged that all the shareholders might be present at the first meeting, and thou the word confirmed might he used in a limited sense. _ _ _ His Honour said he quite agreed with Mr. Chidley as far as he wont, but then what would be meaning of the words special resolution? Mr. Lawrance was heard at great length, and said that at the first meeting no accounts were presented at the first meeting, and the shareholders never had any until the 10th of September, when one was presented by Mr. Wryghte. lie contended at great length that be hae made out a 2».inza facie c Age for calling on the court to exsre6e its jurisdiction, as the company had lost more than 3-4ths of teir capital and were unable to pay their debts. The case was proceeding, but will no doubt be ad. Mourned. POLICE INTRLT.IGENCE. —(This Day ) MANSION-HOUSE. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CLERK.—Richard Knowles, 18, late y a clerk in the employment of Mr. Benjamin Bateman, metal-broker, Cannon-street, was brought up for further oceminatton upon a charge of embezzling various sums of money, amounting to 2001., the property of his employer. Tne evidence previously given went principally to prove that, on the 15th August, a cheque for 2001. was given to the prisoner t) pay into the company's bankers to their account, but that, instead of so doing, he cashed the cheque, and only paid in 1001. to the com pany's account, appropriating the other 1001. to his own use. _ _ _ _ _ _ . The cashier to the London Joint Stock Bank, now proved that he cashed the cheque with a Bank of England note for 2001. Mr. Bateman said there were several other cases, which, however, he did not wish to go on with, as the one already gone into would probably be sufficient. The prisoner, who had nothing to say, was then corn mitted for trial. been prevented by the arm of another person, comi 13in ant would have received a serious blew. Mr. Safe (to the prisoner)—What do you say to the charge ? Prisoner—l was tipsy. Mr. Selfe—You might have killed the man. The prisoner was fined 31., or, in default, one mcnth's imprisonment. _FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILW.A Y. TUXFORD, THURSDAY. Au accident, attended with Ilya] coniequences to four persons, and considerable injuries to s , :veral others, occurred on the mainline of the G. Northern Railway tr.-day, about noon, to th 3 express train from Manchester to London. - The train, which consisted of engine and break van, second-class carriage, corn' o - eite carriage, first class carriage, and break, passed Tuxford station at about the right time, and hal proceeded nearly two miles further, when ou running over the via duct which crosses the Newark wid Tuxford road something gave way,—it is supp6sed an axle,—the engine became detached fro 4 the carriages and bounded forward, while the vehicles separated into two divisions, the first of which, c )mprising a second class and composite cart i •g-, heeled over the embankment on the south side of the viaduct, whir) the hinder portion of the train, after strik ing against the buttress of the bridge on the north side and -breaking off the stme c p and upper brick work, felt down with a tremendous crash en t' the turnpike road below. The first two vehicles made a complete somersault and alighted with the right side up in a cottaget's garden, one or two of the pas sengers were much injured, but the majorityescne and the carriages were very little damaged. The other three vehicles, including the break van, were lite rally smashed to pieces, all the upper timbers being entirely stripped off the platforms, while the break van had fallen upside down, and the wood was crushed almost flat on the •gr.::und. Such assistance as was at hand was rendered as promptly as possible, awl niewengers were despatched to the nearest stations and to the nearest medical men. Four of the passenger . s were taken out of the debris quite dead ; three others were so seriously wounded as to be scarcely fit to be re . moved, and all the_ rest of the unf ,rtunale travel lers in this section of the train were more or less .severely-injured.. The dead bodies and one or two of the worst sufferers surviving were removed to the Newcastle Arms, Tuxford. The remainder cf the patients - were taken to Retft rd. The following is a list of the casualties :—Killed—The Hon. W. M. W. Clive, brother to the Hon. R. Cliie, M.P., who was also in the train ; Miss Letitia Paget, Gortrn Lodge, Garston, Liverpool ; Mrs. Heaton, 18, Queen-square, Lancaster; Mra. Pitman, wife of one of the- Great Northern Railway Company's officers, who sat next to her when in the train. Wounded—Capt. Marshall, who was going to 203, Bath-buildings, Glossop-road, London, one eye knocked out, his wife and child escaped with bruises. Mr. J. Dansfield, hatter, Waterhead-mill, near Old ham, one of the town councl of that borough, frac tured ribs and internal injuries—bad case; John J. Bourn, near Cambridge, compound fracture of right arm, internal injuries, not expecte . ' to recover; Wm. Dyson, - the guard of the train, fractured skull, internal injuries, not expected to recover ; Mr. Sworder, Hertford, fracture of ancle ; Mr. C. Swordt:r and Miss Sworder, slightly injured ; Mr. an 4 Mrs. Peace, Sheffield, contused wounds on the head ; Mr. J. Hatigus, Castle-street, Sheffield, cut and bruised, returned home • Richardson, servant to Mr. W m . Winghatn, of Hitchin, slightly injured ; Mr. Wing ham was in the train and was seen walking on the line after the accident, but he has not been heard of since ; Mr. B. Rayner, commercial traveller, in ternally injured ; Mr. Jas. Smith, traveller, head hurt a good deal, but not seriously ; Miss Marr, daughter of Mr. J. Marr, 18, Queen-square, Lan caster, slightly injured ; she was travelling with Miss Paget and Mrs. Heaton, one of whom was her aunt, and both of whom were killed. The head of one of the ladies killed was crushe 1 quite flat ; the face of another was cut in two from top to bottom. A !gentleman's boot, wet with blood, was seen on the rad, as it had been cat off. A newspaper, smeared with blood, was also found. Numerous articles belonging to the passengers were picked up, and forwarded to Retford. The officials of the line, acting under Mr. Leith, superintendent, were incessant in their ex.rtions to mitigate the sufferings of the passengers ; the lino which was broken up for a d;stance of about 50 yards was repaired within four Inurs after the accident by a staff of men under Mr. Sturrock. There have been several accidents between Tux ford and Newark, the last of which occurred dur ing the flood about two months ago, but this is Vie first fatal passenger accident that has ever occurred on this line. A PISIT TO NANA SAHIB. (From the Illustrated Times) We have received some additional interesting particulars respecting Nana Sahib from a corre spondent, who writes to us as follows : - As that arch-fiend and traitor, Nana Sahib, at present occupies a portion of public attention, and I may add, execration, and as I know him well, having partaken of his hospitalities for one month, I have no doubt my recollections of him and his affairs may be interesting to the majority of your readers. I therefore subjoin au aricount of my so journ with him in his den, and of the circumstances that led the - eto. Cawnpore,—a place, alas ! now uo disastrously familiar to British ears—was visited in the rains of 1853 with a most fearful epidemic ; the cholera carrying off, in the European corps in that station, sometimes as many as eighteen individuals (includ ing women and children) daily, and in other por tions of that large cantonment being fearfully fa'al. I do not know of any officer of that corps having succumbed to it, buti believe the surgeon, whose name I forget, died. However, to return to the subject of my notice. Being at that time recover ing from illness myself, and my wife being also sick, I was pondering on some change of air and s_'ene, and having nothing else to do, I drove over to see Bhithoor, about twelve miles (ehoakoss—six kos , — a koss being two miles) from Cawnpore. I started in a gharrie, a sort of fly, early on the morning of the Ist of September, 1853, and arrived at the Rajah's house, or rather one built for a former Commissioner. _ It was a large and hand some building. At the entrance of the domain were a pair of very handsome iron gates, and the gateway-itself was as imposing as one in the best parks in this country. The approach also to this mansion was by a very pretty rather than a grand avenue ; and on the right-hand side of this drive was a very neat parterre, kept in as good order as any of its size at home could be.. On arriving at the house, I produced my basket of " prog," and commenced breakfast. This being a place of resort for pic-nic parties from Cawnpore, I, of course, at once sent off a note to the Rajah, telling him of my arrival, and, as a point of courtesy, asking his sanction to my passing the day there. I had scarcely finished. my breakfast when I heard the noise of horses on the fine-gravel parade iu front, and was somewhat astonished to see, not the hUmble envoy I had, sent in the shape of my sirdar bearer, but two or three individuals, accompanied by a retinue of native sowers, with drawn swords, prancing steeds, and other showy indications of Oriental military display. These individuals prove .1 to be his Highness the Maharajah's—or as he, for obvious reasons prefers to be called, the Peishwah's —Moonshie, Prang Doss-Tewarrie • the treasurer, Baba Butt ; and another old Mahratta distin guished personage, whose appearance I 'well re member, but whose name I quite forgot. I was then informed by the moonshie, Prang Doss-Te warre, that his Higness was delighted to receive me with cordiality and welcome, and that he had sent them formally to request my presence at his palace (the castle which is spoken of as having been burnt down by Havelock's glorious band of hroic spirits) in the evenoig, when the sun had rendered it cool and pleasant for Europeans, and indeed natives, to howrkana—i. e., "To eat the air." After some conversation, interspersed with most flowery and highflown, and no doubt equally empty, compli ments to my nation and countrymen in general, and my humble self in particular, my guides left me, and I amused myself by lookingover the house and grounds. The former is very large, and the rooms spacious and handsome ; the walls are covered with stiff odd-looking pictures of former Peishwahs, and amongst them the old gentle man so ably captured by Sir John Male lm, and the man who was the first exiled ehief located at Bhitoor. I must not omit to state that a khitmut gar and hawarchee reported themselves to me during the day, and requeste 1 my hookm—i.e., commands—for dinner, as it was his Highness's wish, as I might be detained until too late to travel back to Cawnpore that night, that I should sleep in the commissioner's house. And as the sun was going down, up came an elephant, caparisoned in the usual tawdry and semi-shabby magnificent style, surmounted by a howdah of towering height; and upon this huge animal, myself and my wife were perched, and escorted by a guard of sowers in front and rear. We were marched through num berless bazaars and native streets to the stronghold of this potentate. I was asked into the august pre sence of the soi-disant Peishwah, and found him seated neon a cushion raised somewhat in the form of a throne of state, he (the magnate) sit ting as a tailor is supposed to sit. He imme diately shook me cordially by the hand ; and I must not omit to state that, being myself a Ba hadoor—that is, of the rank of one who wears a sword—l was not required to remove my shoes in going into his presence. He, through his moon shee, asked me many questions about the Queen, the nobility ! of England, - particularly mentioning, and asking after Lord Ellenborough(Burra' buh out Burrs Lord Sahib), for whom, Nshether ho knew him or not, he seemed to have a great le aped and veneration. Whether this was assume or not, I cannot say.. He then asked me many questions about the Hon. East India Company, and appeared exhaustless in his queries . abont the Board of Control. These lasted about half-an hour, and he then requested that I would make myself at home in his house, and remain as long as I pleased. He himself supplied me with a staff of servants, and furnished my bazaar—living and board—dairy. He was, when I saw him, about 28 years of age ; ho looked however at least 40. His figure is very fat—in fact, the very expression made Use of by his own moon shee was, that "His. Highness was a tight man (taing admee)." His face is round, his eyes very ! wild, brilliant, and restless ; his complexion, as is the case with most native gentlemen, is scarcely darker than a dark Spaniard ; and his expression is on the whole of a jovial, indeed somewhat rollick ! nag character. NANA SAHIB'S HAREM. During the t me I was occupied in making my salaam to the Mararajah, my wile was conducted into the zimanq. She thus describes her visit of course this holy of holies was close to my pro fane gy :—"I was ushered into a room in the most retired wing of the castle, through a series of doors, each door being closed and bolted imme diately on my passage through. I arrived at last before a large and handsome quilted crimson silk curtain (purdah), which being drawn aside, I en tered a large room, the floor of which was covered with beautifully white linen, drawn tight, and fas tened ut the four corners of the room. I was in troduced int) this santum sanctorum 'by no less a person than his highriess'a treasurer, Baba Butt, who, after introducing me, left me to commence a convensatioa with the apparently stolid inmates of the zenanl. The walls of the room were one mass of mirrors fro n the ceiling to the g r oun d. Th e only furniture in the apartment were three Bareilly couches,im one of which sat a child about seven years old, dressed iu yellow gauze, the whole of whose breast was covered with pearls, to the amount of three lacs of rupees. The feet were bat e, the ankles were adorned with large and heavy bangles' (rings of gold), each worth about 5,000 I upees. The arms were also covered with the sun() de3cription of ornament of different sizes, ex- tending from the wrist to the elbow. This young lady was very shy, hung down her head, and seemed much abashed at the formidable apparition of an European lady of the niuteenth century. She was repeatedly urged to speak to me by her companions, who said, ' Speak to the English lady.' At last she mustered up the courage to say, Ap ha misaj, atcha by mem-sahib ?'—' Is your consitution in good order ?' literally equiva lent, in fact, to our flow d'ye do ?' This was said with her head turned and eyes averted, in the manner of the most coy and prim school girl. The other two inhabitants of the zenana, or hare m, were a girl of about 13 years of age, and one about 17—dressed in similar style and ornamented with similar jewelhry. Such a liberal display of precious stones—at least on these ladies—failed to produce anything splendid in effect, none of the wearers being good-looking, even for native women ; the eldest, indeed, was repulsively ugly, with long yellow teeth. This lady, who appeared to be the spokeswoman of the party, and particularly amiable and affable, asked me my age, and in return told me hers. " I was offered by all these nymphs native sweet meats, &c. They asked me numerous questions about England ; amongst others, Whether t ladies and princes' wives (Begums) were be hind a purdah —secluded—as theybwuetrew, my telling them that they went about it a h up i d u th u e o c i li h r faces perfectly visible in public, Bo i c s tt e c e ha m , e_d, astonished, but said . it was. ' Very good ;' and seemed to imagtihneattlgsreweopulladisntett faces,tlietn very well, and I must say I should imagine, never were secluded behind a purdah. Poor things, 'I pitied them ; and after a little more conversation, under difficulties, I made m y parting salaam, and shaking hands with all round, I retired. They expressed afterwards the pleasure they derived from the interview, and the moonshia (Prang Dos - Tewarrie) often spoke of their having repeatedly b.quired for me since. The two elder of the ladies, I was told, were married (shadee) to nephews of the late Peishwah, b u t had no family. They sa id i n d ee d to me 'liummerah pas kouch baba nay by,'—i e., We have no chil dren.' This seemed to distress the elder lady much, as she appeared, and expressed herself to be, vet y fond of children. The most astonishing thing was, that the child of seven years old bad been be trothed for some time, I was informed, to a grand nephew of the late Peishwah, and incredible as it may seem to European ears, was to be formally imartied to him almost immediately.", Thus ended my wife's -- interview and mine ; which, • though a very cordial and clamorous audience, was withal a somewhat stupid one. After it was over, we mounted an elephant and went to our new residence, which for one month I found very comfortable. The Rajah Nana Sahib made his appearance about breakfast-time, and usually brought some handsome flowers or valuable fruit, and his emissaries besieged me daily with a long account of the wrongs he had experienced at the hands of the British Government, by their having stopped the pension granei to former Peishwahs on the demise of the late one, his reputed father, he being the adopted son. • This kind of life coil tinued for one month, at the end of which time I returned to Cawnpore. I did not ace the soi-disant Peishwah again, but he sent a ghat rie and an escort to bring me from Cawnpore to Bhitoor, at twelve o'clock on the last night I staid in Cawnpore, which was about the end of January, 1854. I knew Nara Sahib intimately (.ays a writer in the Illustrated Times), and always regarded him as one of the best and most, hospitable natives in the upper pro. vince., and certainly one of the last u.en to have bees guilty of the atrocities laid to his charge. As, is the case with many natives of India, it may have bees that Nana Sahib cultivated the acquaintance and hien& sh , p of the Sahibs solely in the hope that through their influence, direct and indirect, his grievances would be redressed. But the last time I saw Nana Sahib —it was in the cold weather of 1851, and he ca'l .d upon me twice during my stay in Cawnp - re—he never once alluded to his grievaacJi. Ilk conversation at that there was directed to the Oude affair. The ful• lowing questions, amongst others, I can remember he put to me • •' Why will not Lord Dalhousie pay a visit to the Sing of Oude? Lord Liardinge did so. "Do you think Colonel Sleeman will persuade Lord Dalhousie to seize the kingdom (of Oude) ?-11e (Colonel Sl,einan) has gone to the camp to do his best. So 'ar as I could glean, Nana Sahib wished f r the antexation of Oude—albeit, he expressed a very decided opinion that, in the event of that measure being resorted to, theca would be a disturiatce and perhaps a war-.. such as happened when Mr. Vans Agnew and Lieuta- , nant Anderson were murdered by the rebellioussoldiery_ of Moolra t i,.at .Meeltan. A fiw words as to the mine of Nana Sahib, whioW, t ' after all, is not his name, but a " nickname." His name is "Sreenath," and amongst his retainers and friends he' is addressed (in correspondence) as " Maharajah Sreenath Bahadoor." Few Hindoos of Nana Sahib's rank ar• ever alluded to by the name given to them by the Drab min at the time of their birth. In most cases the nick name, or pet name, that clings to a high caste Hindoo for life, is the favourite word that be distinctly utters in infancy, in the zunaua. In the case of Sreenath t the subject of this sketch, there can be no doubt that " Nena," or "Nana," was the favourite word of the child, who in manhood has gained such an unenviatle distinction in the eyes of the world. The' word " Nena" has no particular signification, we are informed. But the word " Nana," in Hindostanee„ signifies "grandfather." His retainers and servants used to speak of him as "Nena Sahib," and not "Nana Sahib." The grievance of the Maharajah Seernath was simply this :—The East India Company guaranteed to the late Peishwab, his heirs and successors, a certain pension. The Peishwah died without heirs born of his body, but previous to his - death be adopted Sreenath ("Nan* Sahib"). Now, according to the Hindoo law, an adopted son is entitled to all the ri g hts andrpri vilsges of an heir begotten of the body of the deceased. According to the Hindoo law, "Nana Sahib" was entitled to the pension of the Peishwah ; but the claim, as before atated, was not allowed. It is a pity that the East India Company have not been consistent in their decisions upon thia head. In some, indeed in very many cases (where the pensions have been insignificant comparatively), the Hindoo law has been recognized, and the claim of the adopted son granted. In other ca=es (where the pension has been very considerable. or the amount of territory to be " absorbed" extremely profitable), the Hindoo law has been shelved and the claimant favoured with a letter from the secretary to Government, informing him that the "Governor-General in Council ha 3 dismissed hie petition, but that the ordinary channels of redress are open to him." He sends home an agent, who baunts the India House and the Beard of Control. At both places be is " referred to the local Government"—the local Government which has already decided against him. Such has been the case of Nana Sahib ; such has been the case of the Rajah of Coarg ; of the Ranee of Jhansi, where another frightful massacre took place ; and such has been the case with numbers of Indians of rank, with whom we have not dealt either wisely or well. Far be it for us to offer even the shadow of an apology far the authors of the atrocities which have plunged nearly half of the nation into mourning ; but, at the same time, we cannot forbear expressing our opinion, which is now genera!ly felt and acknowledged, that to the gross mismanagement of our Indian Empire, and the manifest injustice of which the East India Company has been so frequently guilty, may be mainly attri buted the deplorable state of affairs which now exists. . GUILDHALL. A young man respeotab y dressed, and wearing a moustache, named James G. Bauer, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Hales, charged with receiving stolen goods. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Demuth, a fo reigner, that he carried on business, in partnership with another gentleman, at 20, Lawrence-lane, City, as im porters of foreign goods. A cousin of Mr. Demuth'e, who is in this country for the purpose of acquiring the English language previous to his emigrating to Australia, has for the last three months been in the habit of assist ing the prosecutors in their business, and had free access to their property. From a communication made last night to Mr. Demuth, he went to his cousin's lodgings, No. 17, Vincent-terrace, Islington, when he found him and the prisoner together. At prosecutor's request, the prisoner left the room, and in his absence he spoke to his cousin, asking him ►f be had any property of his in his possession, and he replied that he had, and took from his pocket a bundle of lace collars of a valuable description. The cousin admitted that he stole the articles at the instigation of the prisoner, and that even for some time past he had robbed his relatives, giving the property to the prisoner to dispose cf. Mr. Martin (chief cleik) asked if.therthief, was• pre sent ? Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. Bnehannaa, said he Wag. . . Mr. Martin—Why has be not been given in charge for the felony ? Mr. Beard said it arose in consequence of the prose cutor, in his conversation with the prisoner, speaking to him in a manner to induce him to believe that if he spoke the truth no proceedings would be taken against him. It was therefore thought not desirable to give him into custody. The prosecutor was again questioned as to his con versation with his cousin, and it appeared he promised not to proceed against burn if be spoke the truth.

THE MURDER IN LEIGH WOODS —BRISTOL, Thureday. —lmmediately upon the identification by her fellow servants of the clothes of the deceased woman, Mr. Superintendent Handcock set to work to obtain a de scription of the murderer. He traced Beale as having lived at several places either a 9 butler or single-lauded servant, and is enabled to give the following somewhat minute account of him :—His Christian names are be lieved to be John William. He is about 30 years old, 5;4 4 or sin. high, slight make, thin face, pale complexion, hair nearly black, worn long and turned under at the back of the head, small black whiskers, dark eyes, good teeth ; dressed in black frock jacket with pocket out side the left breast, double-breasted black waistcoat, and black ehopherd's plaid trc.asers, male very large at the feet. Ile is flat-looted, has an awkward gait, and turns his feet out very much when walking. Ile wore an old fashioned silver watch and mas-ive silver Albert chain, and a ring with red stones on the little finger. He has lived in several paces, and is well known in the neigh baurhoods of Clifton and Bath, and is supposed to have recently come from Daventry, Northampton. The amount of money which the deceased had with her has net been ascertained. It has been discovered that her boots were soled by a shoemaker named Burt, residing near St. James's Church, Bath. lie identified them as Charlotte Pugeley's, who lodged at his house for a short time before going to her last situation. There is rea son to believe that, very soo n after the committal of the , murder, Beale started from Bristol for Li v erpool, and if so, it is to be feared that he may have sailed either for New York or Australia, at both of which places he has relatives. truntsToN POST-OFFICE.—The Ulverston a Id Lan- caster Railway is working a complete change in our dis trict.

INTERESTING RELIC or Panvon CHARLES STITATO. • In the public room of the Caledonian Hotel Oban, says the North British Daily Mail, there is an antique oak chair, with the following inscription on a elver plate: —" This chair was sent by Lochiel to Prince.Oharies Stuart, on the occasion whoa the Royal Standard was unfurled to claim the Crown of hie ancestors, at 91en• finnin, on the 19th August, 1745." SIR JOHN BOWRING AND THE LOMITA ARROW.—Yee. terday morning was issued, in the form of a return to Parliament, a letter from Sir John Bowring, data Hong Kong, May 8, in which he replies to the technical argu ments which were advanced against his proceedings, dur ing the debates in Parliament, upon the Chinese ques tion, before the dissolution. He concludes his letter in the following terms :—" I repeat then, that whether the Arrow was entitled to protection or not, the Chinese had no jurisdiction ; and their proceedings were unwarrant able, and to be resented. The expiry of the license did o. make the b rchaa Chinese vesse', and gave the Chinese no right to interfere, Except through the Consul. She could be a foreign vessel in their eyes. The papers, whether in order or not, were deposited at the con sulate, and if they had acted in accordanro w ith the cmditions of treaty, and had put themselves in com munication with the consul, there would have been no collision. The papers granted were, I contend, of un• doubted validity against any but British authority— the authority which alone granted, and which alone was entitled to withdraw, protection. If, then, the fact of the expiry of the license, of the right of the lorcha to its renewal, did in no respect concer❑ the Chinese, but the British alone, my action was a necessity—at all event far as placing the question in the ban is of the navel authorities when I could obtain no redress." Loss OF THE SHIP FUSILIER AT ST. GOWAN'S HEAD —This iron-built ship, 500 tons burden, homeward bound from Valparaiso with a valuable cargo of copper and wool, WU totally lost on Tuesday night under St. Gowan's Head, the craw having a miraculous escape. Captain Carmichael, the master, has made a sworn de potit iou before the Admiralty receiver of wreck reap- et ing the lois of the ship. It is as follows -" We tailed from Valparaiso on the 10th of last June bound to Liver• pool, and proceeded on the voyage without occurrence of any note till the 9th or 10th of the present month, when they spoke the Dutch ship Hugo Grotius, from Batavia to Rotterdam, and they compared longitude and detected., that one of the Fusilier's chronometers gave but • 10 miles to the eastward of the Dutch ship. From - tl:at time till the 11th encountered winds variable and fresh, course E.N,E. northerly, with wind veering from N.W. to S. At noon, 13th, the ship ran by dead reckoning 104 miles, by observation 116 miles. Found tacit she had made no better than a course of E a N. lit. at noon, 5.30 N. lon. by'one chrono. meter, 8.46 W., and the oLber 8.51 W. From noon, 13th, al.ored course to E. I N., put over the patent log . and fresh points in both compasses. At 4 p.m. it be came thick. At 11.40 p.m. hauled up the cross jack and mainsail, and called the watch to heave the lead, still thick with rain. At 11.50 the lick-out man called out "Land ahead," Tho helm was put down, but wen after wards the ship struck on the rocks, and the main hold quickly fired with water. For the preservation of their lives took to the boat, and at daylight, discovering the position of the coast, ma de for Milford Haven ." .

In addition "to this strange and affecting coincidence," the Express has since been fur nished with a biographical sketch of "the unfortunate captain," which it published in its Mon day day's impression. Th e correspondent, making sure tl a% the Capta n Rogers c f lis st quaint ance VW the Capta n Rogers that was ignominious! hung at Liverpool, g:ves a sketch of his life Now, un fortunately for the editor and his correspondent, and all those papers which printed the cock-and-bull story about the judge and the prisoner—if they are right the authci rities at Liverpool are w ron g , for the Ca p tain Ro g ers horn at Belford , and the acquaintance (if he was the acquaintance) of Baron Watson in earl y y outh, is alive and wel l . He bas been as lon g at sea as hung at Liverpool spent years on earth, r eturning to the Tyne in a vessel belong ingated i s mano South Shields, which ho has commanded. with credit to himself and profit to the owners, for a considerable period. Captain Rogers is an " old salt" of the Captain Cuttle school, and his friends have written to the editor of the paper that he and his correspondent may prepare themselves for his arrival in port.' The wretched man who commanded the Martha Jane, a) 4 who properly forfeited his life for the cruel murder` of the sealiaan Rose on board that vessel, was not an Ent a lishman. He was a native of Aberdeen, served his tin at out of that port, and was a seaman and chief officer CA board Aberdeen vessels before he came to England. ,w. nee, :ow- rder &C.; Bet• tober I Will de a 9 d not 2 oz., ,nd so tters. ;IGN. 83i 33A 4 51 3i 81 I 77i 1 131 A 97i ; 47 61 all 100 100 100 100 3i 100 25 10 1.0.61 100 100 100 100 all all 20 25 25 12i 701 I 1031 : • -
