" Aportion of our troops had esc +laded thebastion walls close to the gate; others had scrambled up two large breaches in the walls and bastion near Treasury. The remainder had entered at the gate itself, which had been blown open by one of our officers. The latter was really the haz trious duty of the day, and THE BCll l _ LONDON, TUtSDAY EVEMIN;G, NOVEMBER 24, 1 SS7. cution. They are very much surprised at this charge being brought against them.

Mr. Piper—We are only too anxious to assist in the mater.. If the case had gone on we should have brought forward two trustworthy men, one of whom locked up the gate at night, the place being surrounded by a high wall. Both of these men de clare that they believe it to b., perfectly impossible that the bones could have come from the spot in question. The place in which the bodies were put has been built up with a brick wall. The further hearing of the summons was then adjourned. GUILDHALL.—Joseph Beale, a lad about 15, was charged with throwing lumps of mud over the parapet of Blackfriars-bridge, as if with the view of striking something on the pier. A policeman proved the fact, and Weir, the pier -master, complained of the intolerable nuisance of boys assembling on the bridge, and pro jecting mi.siles upon the pier, to the danger of the passengers. It was only a few days ago that a large piece of granite was thrown and 'ell upon the stern-lights of the pier, and had it fallen upon the head of any lady or gentleman, in all proba bility it would have killed the person. It was with the greatest difficulty that such boys could be caught, as they always decamped the instant he left the pier, and when he returned, they came back again. He did not wish to press the charge severely against the prisoner, because he thought a small fine would answer every purpose, if the newspapers would give it the ut►nost publicity. Alderman Hale said it was a very serious charge and he felt very much inclined to inflict the fullest penalty the law allowed. The mother of the prisoner said her boy was in respectable employ, having been in the same situation for the last two years. Alderman Halesaid hes - hould have awarded such a punishment as the prisoner would have re membered all his life if it had been stones he had been throwing instead of mud. He would, how ever, fine him ss. for the present offence ; but if he or any other lad were brought before him again upon such a charge he would impose the full penalty of 405., or commit the delinquent to prison. BOW-STREET.—A woman named Catherine Lewis, who avowed her infamous way of life with out a blush, and who is well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Jardine under the follow ing singular circumstances. Policeman F 141 said—l was on duty in Holborn at a quarter to one this morning, when I saw the prosecutor, William Coleman, with the dog I now produce ia remarkably handsome Isle of Skye terrier). He was intoxicated. I saw the prisoner and another woman getting about him, and I sent them away. They crossed the road and walked on, keeping pace with him on the opposite side. Presently I saw the prisouer cross over and walkup to the prose cutor, She suddenly dealt him a violent blow in the face, and knocked him down right flat, and snatching up the dog, she ran away as hard as she could pelt, with the dog in her arms. So I ran after her and caught her, and took the dog from her. I brought her back, and he gave her in charge. William Coleman—l am an ostler. The dog is my own property, and worth seven guineas at least. I was a little the worse for liquor, but I re member this woman coming up to me, and she hit me so sharp and sudden that• she knocked me "right backwards." She nearly knocked my teeth out. I had the dog by a chain, but she snatched it from me. Prisoner—Why, I never went near the man ; I was a running along, and the dog ran after me. Constable—She had the dog in her arms, carry ing him, your worship. Mr. Jardine—There can be no doubt you meant to steal the dog. I shill commit you for one month. was most gallantly performed, though in broad daylight. The explosion party consisted of Lieuts. Home and Salkeld of our corps, a few sappers and a bugl , r of H.M.'s 52d. On their nearing the gate they found it slightly open, with a number of mus kets protruding at the opening. They were received with a volley, which killed and wounded a number. Still, however, they advanced, and fixed their powder bags on to the•gate. Sergeant Carmichael, of the Sappers, tried to light the port-fire attached to the b tgs, but was shot dead in the attempt. After him Sergeant Burness, of the Sappers; tried, telt fell, pierced with three bullets. After Sergeant Burness, Salkeld tried, but fell into the ditch, shot in the leg, which is broken, and in the arm, which has been amputated. Sergeant Smith, of the Sap pers, tried next, and he and Home between them happily succeeded without a wound. Seeing the portfire well a-light the whole party jumped into the ditch, and the enemy, liitle dreaming of what had been done, continued firing till the explosion took place, so you may fanny what effect it took. 20 of the mutineers strewed the road- inside the gate, not one of whom would it have been possible to recognise, and this was the first sight that met my eyes at the gate. Little wonder that Donald re fused to move ; however, finally he did, and got as. far as the centre of the main guard, beyond which • nothing would urge him. It was perfect agony keeping my seat, and I would have given worlds to dismount—but walking was out of the question ; it was anything but an agteeable fix to be in. I felt how perfectly useless I was, and being the only mounted man there in the open space, fully accounted for the number of bullets whistling past my ears. There was no help for it, so I had to make my way back to camp as I best could, fully convinced of my own folly. Y•u may imagine I ha i done neither leg nor ankle much good by the trip, and I had not many oppor tunities of seeing the remainder of the operations. We progressed slowly after this for two days, but having obtained possession of the magazine con taining about 130 guns there could uo longer be much doubt as to the result. The enemy, who had hitherto so stoutly resisted us, was losing heart, though he had succeeded in beating us back with loss and kept us at bay at two or three points. Daily and nightly large numbers continued to leave the city till the 20th, when we found ourselves in perfect possession, and the entire city evacuated. Immediately on receiving news of the evacuation I started fur the palace. You can have no conception of the scene of confusion—Riflemen, Goorkhas, Sikhs, and Punjabees quarrelling over their plunder —and such plunder to quarrel about ! Old counter panes, dirty blankets, tin and copper pots and pans, sepoys' red coats, baskets, papers, packets of tinsel, bottles of rose water and otto of roses lying here, there, and everywhere, and the whole place in a state of squalor and wretchedness passing all de scription. On turning into the gardens in front of Douglas's stables I found myself alone. I einoot tell you what a scene of desolation presented itself to my eyes. The garden had been an encamping ground of the sepoys, and everything bore witness to its having been deserted in hot haste. The tents were still st aiding, but it seemed as if everybody had taken his armful out of the boxes, arid wiliout caring for what might drop, had made the best of his way out of the place. Lie stillness, too, after the noise and riot I had just quitted, was really appal ling, and I stood at the foot of the stairs stupefied as with a heated atmosphere and unable to move. I was roused by hearing three cheers from the apart ments above me. . . . We have captured the King, his two sons and grandson—the three last (among whom was Mirza Mogul Bey) wera most deservedly shot before they were brought. into the city, where their bodies were exposed in the Chandney Chou,k." The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Times : " Sir,—l send you a copy of an extract of a re port, dated September 17, from Colonel Baird Smith to Major-General Wilson, which has not yet, I believe, appeared in any of the papers, and its publication will be not only most aratifying to the parents and friends of the gallant men mentioned therein, but will bring to the notice of the public the real facts of that desperate duty of blowing up the Cashmere-gwe. You have already prominently mentioned Lieu'. Salkekl's name, and I am sure Lieut. Home's gal lant and cool conduct on tthat memorable event equally deserves the encomiums of his countrymen; indeed, all of that party proved and showed them selves noble and gallant fellows. But Lieutenant Home's name appears evidently to have been in advertently omitted in the Brigad er's report ; how ever, Col. B. Smith on questioning one of the sur vivors learnt that Lieut. Home was of the party, whereupon Col. B. Smith ordered Lieut. Home to make a report on the subject, when, of course, the whole came out ; and the following is a copy of the 13th paragraph of the Chief Engineer's report, which will speak for itself how ably and efficien ly that duty was performed by Lieut.

The a Ivance Marty reached the gateway unhurt, and found that part of the drakbridge hal been destroyed ; but passing across Le to eca.rinui footway supplied powder bags against the gate. The wicket was open, and by the remaining beani , , they proceeded to lodge their powder Imo against the gate. The wicket was ~ pen, and through it the enemy kept up a heavy fire upon them. Sergeant Carmichael was killed while 1-iy iog his powder bag, Eavild.ir Mahor being at the same time wounded. The powder bring laid, the advanced party slipped down into the ditch to allow the firing party, under Lieut. Salkeld, to perform its duty. While eadeavouring to fire th.,) c arge Lieut. Salkeld was shot through the arm and leg, and handed over the slow match to Corporal Bur gess, just as he hal successfully accomplished the nerous duty. Havildir Tilluh Sing, of the Sikhs, was wounded, and Ramloll Sepoy of the came corps was killed during this part of the operation. The demolition being most successful, Lieut. Home, happily not wounded, caused the bugler to sound the regimental call of the 52d, as the signsl for the advancing columns. Fearing that amid the noise of the assault the sounds might not be heard, he had tie call repeated three times, when the troops ad vanced and carried the gateway w th complete suc cess. I feel certain that a simple statement of this d-voted and glorious de-d will suffice to stamp it as one of the noblest on record in military history. The perfect success contributed most materially to the brilliant result of the day, and L•eutenants Home and Salkeld, with their gallant subordinate Europeans and natives, w,ll, 1 doubt not, receive the rewards which valour before the enemy so dis tinguished as theirs has entitled them to.

WORSHIP-STREET.—George Badcock, land lord of the Marion Arms, Prichard's-row, Hackney, was charged with the following atrocious assault upon his wife. The wife, a good-looking woman of 30, was sup ported into court at the first !examination by two officers, who helped her up into the wstness-box ; but lithe poor woman was evidently in such an agony of suffering, grief, and debility, that the magistrate instantly ordered her to be removed and placed iu a chair. Almost inarticulate from pain, she s sid,—l have been married ten years to the pri siner, by whom I have had four children. On the evening of Friday se'nnight he came home with a new horse he had just purchased, as I was standing at the door, and said he should have that horse. I ventured to tell him that he had better not buy the horse, as he had lost by all the others he had bought ; and I added that he had much better stop at home and attend to his business, in stead of leaving a poor child only eight years of age to take care of it for so many Irmrs, or we should certainly be ruined. He buys horses of hose-topers, as they are called, and invariably loses by then?. The moment I had spoken the words he raised h;s fist and struck me such a terrible blaw upon the jaw, under the left ear, that he nearly broke it, and fstaggered against a cart standing near, and fell against the wheel of it. He then kicked me violently upon the loins and other parts so badly that I cannot walk. With great. pain and difficulty I contrived to drat mys .1f up by the wheel of the cart into some neighbours' arms, and they carried me away. Mr. Hammill—Has he ever treated you in this bru , al manner before ? butxtosa :me enli invau Jeep:: Wife—Oh dear, yea,sir, for years, and rknow he will kill me. lam sure he will. The night before this he beat me cruelly and dragged me about the ground by my hair. On the Tuesday before he sharpened a carving-knife, as he said for the pur pose of murdering me by cutting my throat. He swears he will bring me to ruin, tills me the worst names be can think of, and says I shall support my children by infamy. Mary Anne Pelham—l am a married woman, living next door to the prisoner, whom I saw strike his wife upon the neck, and afterwards kick with Vie greatest violence.

SOLrrEIWARK.—William Webb, a blacksmith, waa charged w i t h comm itti n g a violent assault on Charlotte Webb, his wife. The complainant, a middle-agel woman, who ex hibitd a severe wound on the right eye, stated that she had b een m t rried to the prisoner 2 2 years, but for some time past his conduct had been so bad that she could not live with him. In fact, she had been compelled to leave him five times and main tain herself. On Saturday night she he ird a knock at the street door, and on opening it the prisoner rushed into th e pass , go, and struck her on the tight eye, :nearly stu .ninc , her. He was about tore peat his violence when a constable came towards them and took him into custody. She had, how ever, no wish to punish him,provi led he kept away from her. Mr. 13urcham t >ld the prisoner that Its was a cowardly fellow to strike his wife in that manner. She appeared to be a decent woman, and could do very well without him. Under the circumstances he should sentence him to 3 months' hard labour iu the House of Correction at Wandsworth. INDIAN MUTI NIE. THE FALL OF DELHI. The following is from an engineer officer engaged in the siege : POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 23. MANSION-HOUSE.—Mr. Wth. tot Morris, of 13, wise -lane, appeared before the L rd Mayor in answer to a summons at the instance of Mit Mitehell s , inspector of police, charging him with having Stored upon his pro mises 19,000 gallons of naphtha, to the great terror, alarm, and danger of the neighbourhood. The City Solicitor, who appeared in support of the prosecutiOn, Said it had been for a long time doubted whether it was a criminal offence to keep explosive materials, chemical substances, within crowded neighbourhoods. However, the ity some time since thought it right to prosecute in a case exactly similar to the present, and they indicted a person of the name of Lester for having upon his premises a quantity of naphtha. That indictment was tried before one of the judges at the Central Criminal Court, and the jury found a verdict against the defendant, subject to the opinion of thecourt above as to whether it was an indictable offence. That question was argued at great length at Westminster before the judges, and finally a decision was pronounced, the whole body, with the exception of one, being of opinion that for any per son to keep in a warehouse, in a crowded city, a quantity of explosive materials, which in the judgment of reflecting persons was calculated to produce danger and alarm; cons ituted an in dictable offence. He was spared the necessity of adducing evidence in the present case, as he under stood thatthe defendant, with gre it discretion, judg ment, and good feeling, had intimated to the au thorities that he had removed, or would imme diately remove, the whole of the naphtha from the premises, and take care that no combustible or ex plosive material should be again di-posited there. The defendant, in reply to the Lord Mayor, said he had already agreed to give up the cellar in which the naphtha was stored. He intend dto send the naphtha to the Custom-house. Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of health for the City, said that naphtha was a spirit which was dis tilled from wood, and was called wood spirit,'or wood naphtha. It was very much more inflam mable than, and was used for many of the same purposes as, spirits of wine. It would fire at a temperature of 140, whereas spirits of wine re quired a much higher temperature than that. A little carelessness in removing the carboys of naph tha, to say nothing of the danger of burning gas in the cellar, might lead to most serious consequences. The summons was adjourned for a fortnight, on the understanding that proceedings against the de fendant would be discontinued if within that pe riod he removed the naphtha from his premises. Mr. Thomas Piper, jun., builder, of 173, Bishops gate-street, and Mr. John Young, architect, of 35, King-street, Cheapside, were charged, upon the in formation of Mr. •W. J. Mitchell, inspector of police, " for that they, on the 19th day of Novem ber inst., in Blomfield-street, Moorfields, did un lawfully and indecently disinter and dig up the dead bodies of divers persons whose names are un known, and did unlawfully, knowingly, and inju riously place and permit the said dead bodies, and parts of dead bodies, then in a state of decomposi tion, to be and remain exposed to the open air, whereby divers unwholesome smells did arise there from, and the air was thereby greatly corrupted and infected, to the danger and common nuisance of all the liege subjects of our. lady the Queen there inhabiting and residing." The City Solicitor appeared in support of the prosecution, and Mr. Harting attended for the de fendants, who occupied seats by the side of their professional adviser. - The City Solicitor—My Lord Mayor, this, as the terms of the summons have already informed your lordship, is a proceeding against these gentlemen fora nuisance at common law. I wish I could, as in the last case, save your lordship the unpleasantness of hearing the evidence in this. lam sorry to say that a circumstance has come to my knowledge within the last few minutes which would prevent my taking your judgment upon whether a similar proceeding might not be adopted in the present case to the last. I am sorry to say that there are facts in this case which render it absolutely neces sary I should open the case arid take your lord ship's judgment upon it.'lt appears that Mr. Young is the surveyor and Mr. Piper the contractor for the erection of a school adjoining the Catholic Chapel at Moorfields. For the purpose of the erec tion they found it necessary to excavate a portion of the burying ground a ljoiniug tee chapel, and in the course of that operation they removed the coffins and the bodies of numerous persons interred there. It has been necessary for the City autho rities on various occasions to remove churches and churchyards, and the bodies have been un tombed for the purpose of necessary improvements- Wherever that has been done it has been the uni form practice not only to hoard in the ground so as to prevent the indecency of pub!ic cmhibition, bu , , to place in authority a person of some position, education, and feeling, iu order to prevent unne cessary violence to the feelings of the living by the unnecessary disturbance of the remains of the dead. I am sorry to say that precaution has been entirely neglected in the present instance. I do not desire to arouse painful feelings by any recital of the dis tressing particulars of this case—they will be nar rated upon oath by the witnesses who were pra sent upon the occasion ; but the circumstance that has just come to my knowledge, - which distinguishes this case in its present aspect from what I thought it was before, is this : it appears that a discovery has been made by the polio:" that a vast quantity of human bones that had been deposited in that yard have been actually taken away and sold to dealers in marine stores. lam bound to say that I entirely acquit the defendants of any cognisance of such transactions. Tney are both of them gen tlemen probably known to your lordship—they are wall known to me, and their name and character will protect them from the suspicion that they had any part in such transactions ; but still, men under their control, or who ought to be under their control, have been guilty of this great outrage upon decency and upon the common feel ings of humanity. I have had the honour of con versation with the rev. gentleman now in court, yound h who is the officiating ecclesiastical iedviretctor the of in tendedth MoorfieeldeesuClphaatipeeel, ofan dtlhsergr as the site of ail school was under the idea, communicated from the superior Board of Health, that, with certain pre cautions, and under certain circumstances, it might be right to use it for that purpose. lam sorry that the rev. gantlenian had not been sufficiently informed upon the subject to have induced him to communicate with the medical officer of he it fh. He communicated with the superior loud, but that does not discharge Dr. LettJeby, our medical offi c-e-, from the task of seeing that the necessary re quirements in i expect to health and life are fulfilled. At this stage of the proceedings tie olfactory organs of every person present convinced him of the presence of some animal substtnee in a far ad vancerl stage of decomp sit:on ; and it was inti mated to Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) that aline of the human bones were in court. That gentleman immediately ordered them to be taken away, upon which two police-constables, after a good deal of lif jog and dragging, removed from thecourt a sack which appeared to contain nearly three bushels of bones. The doors and windows of the court were immediately thrown open, and after the admission of a little fresh air, the business was proceeded with. The City Solicitor—Some of these remains that had been already disinterred were placed by the order of Dr. Letheby in a vault, and by the advice of that gentleman, pending this iuvestigation, they will be walled up. At the present moment the public mind is impressed with the Importance of at tending to sanitary matters, and happily no more interments take place within the City. A short time ago there wasplaced in my handathe following short extract from a sermon of Bishop Latimer, iu 1552, upon this very subject ; " And here you may note by the way that these c iti zens h a d th e i r bury ing place wi About Ithe city, which no doubt is a laudable thing; I an d I do marvel that London, being so rich a city, bath not a b ury i ng - p l ace without, for no doubt it is an unwholesome thing to bury within the city, specially at such a time when there be great sickness, so that many die together. I think verily that many a ma n taketh his d e ath in Paul's churchyard, and this I speak of experienc for myself, when I have been there to hear the ser mons, have felt such an ill favoured, uuwholesome savour that I was the worse for it a great while after. And I think no less but it be the occasion of much sicknemand disease ; therefore the citizens of Nain had a good and laudable custom to bury their curses without the city, which example we may follow." After a lapse of 300 years, the citi z ns of London have nceived the opinion thus pro mulgated by Bishop Latimer. lam sorry to say that in the vaults below the Roman Catholic chapels, as in the vaults of many of the churches, ' there is an awful accumulation of this festering ma terial, the consequences of which it is almost im possible wholly to exclude from the external air. Mr. Harting—Will the City Solicitor be good enough to mention the precise nature of the charge a g ainst the defendants? • The City So!icitor—Under the Central Criminal Court Act it is rendered, if not absolutely neces sary, yet desirable that we should bring every case in which there is a contemplative prosecution into this court, and have the evidence stated, and the witnesst s subjected to cross-examination, in order that the defendsat may know what he has to meet. In the exercise of my diScretion, and in conformity with the intentions and objects of that act, I have summoned the defendants here to-day.

At the Aylesbury County Court, on Friday last, an important case was heard, and the facts involved the point whether the owners of bulls are per id turn them out without taking proper care that they could not break through the fences and herd with other graziers' stock. The plaintiff was Mr. Senior, of Broughton-hall, sear Aylesbury, a magistrate for the county, and a well-known gra zier ; the defendant being Mr. Self, the manager of the London and County Bank at Aylesbury. The action was brought to recover the sum of 191. 195., for , !anag , -s from the neglicence of the defendant. It was alleged that the plaintiff had at great trouble secured a pure breed of Devons, which were depas turing in a field adjoining Mr. Self's grounds, in which was a bull, which trespasse i on the plaintiff's grounds, and associated with his stock—in conse quence of which the plaintiff sa:d a most valuable heifer, the produce of the bull which had won the prize at Norwick, and had never been beaten, and a cow which he had bought of Lord Macclesfield, was in calf. He (plaintiff) said it was important that his stock should remain pure. He si id he was offered 30 guineas for the produce of the heifer which was the cause of the action ; but, owing to Mr. S e lf's bull having com m itt e d the trespass, ho sold the he fer and calf (which ought to have been worth 401.) for 171. 10s. The witnesses stated that Mr. Self's fences were very bad. Mr. G. L. Brown, barrister, for the defence, contended that the dtme bad nothing to d with the breeding of cattle, bait was rut rely a little bit of private quarrel ling. It was said that there was an assumed likeness between the calf and its suspected sire ; but there was no daguerreotype, and of course no likeness could be proved. He contended, therefore, that there was no proof that the plaintiff had sustained damage at the defendant's h , nils. He called upon the jury to give the plaintiff the smallest conceiv able coin in full satisfaction for any conceivable in jury he had sustained. Various witnesses, includ ing Mr. Gadsden, the extensive auctioneer and valuer, and Mr. IL Phillips, the well-known dealer of ThAtne, were called on the part of the defendant, and they sw, , re that there was nothing extraordi nary in the breed of the plaintiff's stock, and that the heif r and calf were nut wortu more than 171. or 181. Other witnesses swore (in opposition to what had been urged on the part of the plaintiff) that the defendant's fences were in good condition. His Honour, Mr. C. Temple, summed up at great length. The jury retired, and after being al-sent about half an hour, found a verdict for the plain tiff—damages le. Immediately the verdict was announced, the court, which was densely crowded throughout the whole five hours the case lasted, rang with a shout the like of which had never, perhaps, been uttered there on any such occasion. It was, however, of course, suppressed by the offi cars and ths‘ietige. Countr v Ivlantets. CHELMSFORD—Noy. 20.
