Examples of Bonus up to May, 1855 t ( From the Buckinghamshire Journal.) This very interesting demonStration took place on Tuesday evening last, the 22d inst., on a scale of much greater magnitude than that of last year— the number of working men in the procession amounting to considerably more than 4,000; and it is most gratifying to be able 'to state that every individual in that vast assemblage conducted him self with the strictest propriety; indeed, so orderly was the meeting, that the inspector, after a while, withdrew the police altogether, perceiving, no doubt, that their presence was quite superfluous. The procession warted from the dld "churoh at half-past six o'clock, headed by a van in which was an excellent baud of musicians, followed imme diately by another van laden with Christmas pre sents, and carrying ' Messrs. Smith, Renshaw; Rilett, and Bell. Both vans were profusely deco rated with flags and banners ; after these came 60 men carrying torolies, and-the large body of work ing men brought up the rear. Vast crowds of per sons assembled in the route of the pr o ce ssion, and cheered it as it passed along. When it arrived at Mr. Lambert's house it halted, and Mr. Renshaw read the following address : " Rev. and Dar Sir,'=We, the working classes of Haling, desire again' to express to you our heartfelt sympathy for your sufferings, and our grief and astonish ment that these sufferings have been allowed to continue so long. " We consider you to be an ill-used and injured man. We think that you have been most cruelly persecuted and oppressed ; and we believe you ti be the victim of a foul conspiracy. " We hope, however, that the present 'Bishop of Lon don, who is universally spoken of •as a just and kind hearted man, will not any longer dalay to effaco from. the Church the stain which this atrocious sentence has left upon it, but will speedily rt-storsxou„to the flock who stilt love and esteem you, smite thailVisition of usefulness and untirin g t xertiou which you had hereto fore occupied "amongsttheni. "And we would earnestly pray the Almighty Dis poser of events to grant that the portion of life which lie may yet spare to you may prove happier and more peaceful than the past I And that it may please Him to save and deliver you from your enemies, persecutors, and slanderers, to disappoint their malice, and to turn their hearts " We now beg your acceptance of a Christmas pre sent, as a slight mark of esteem and affection, and of our sincere wish to alleviate, in come small degree, the burden of your adversity." To this address Mr. Lambert returned nearly the following answer : My Dear Friends,—l assure you Ido not exag gerate in the very slightest degree when I say that I cannot find language . which would adequately express my gratitude to you on the present occa sion. I allude not only to the very welcome gift which you have so kindly and so liberally. be stowed upon me, and which, will indeed go far to " alleviate (as you say) the burden of my adversity;" neither do I allude merely to the generous expres sions of sympathy contained iu the address which I hold in my hand, and which has been just read aloud by our worthy friend, Mr. Renshaw. But' when I look at the vast assemblage before me-- when I see so many of the working men of Ealing —some of them, perhaps; already wearied with their day's hard labour, yet leaving their homes at this late hour of the evening, and at this gloomy season of the year to visit and to condole with a destitute and forsaken man—(lone' cries of " No; no, you're not forsaken ; we'll never forsake you") —I declare to you that my heart is so completely overpowered with emotion at such a manifestation of kindly feeling towards me, that I cannot find words to express my thankfulness. [Here the rev. aentleinan was so much affected that he paused for a few moments to recover himself; when he was loudly cheered and again proceeded.] Kind and generous treatment always affects me very power fully, and indeed I have not experienced much kind or generous tre etment of lite. You say in your address that you " consider me an ill-used and injured man," that you "think I have been cruelly persecuted and oppressed." (Loud cries of "So you have been.") Well, to tell you the honest truth; I 11111 almost inclined to think so myself. When I call to mind that, on the inquiry into the charges alleged against me before the commissioners, it was not deemed fit that I should be allowed to give any evidence -in my own defence, or even that I should be per mitted to be present in court while my accusers were bestring their testimony against me, I must frankly confess to you that in this mode of pro ceeding there does- seem to me to hitve been such a want of good, honest English fair play—such an entire absence of even-handed justice—so re markable a divergence from the strict rule of judicial impartiality which, I believe, generally obtains in our courts of law, that I really think I have some reason to complain ; for I am quite sure that my statement, if I had been permitted to make one, would have left upon the minds of the commis sioners an impression very different indeed from that which they received, and which they must na turally and necessarily have received, from the un contradicted testimony of my accusers. Elia, how ever, there was open to me the Court of Arches, into which I might have carried my ease for adju dication ; and I have not the slightest doubt that if I had brought my case into that court I sho uld have obtained a decision in my favour. Bu t, un fortunately; I was prevent e d f ro m going into t he Court of Arches, by a mess age which I received from the authorities, urgi ng m e in ve ry- earnest terms to submit my cas e t o th e decision of th e Bishop, and assuring me that tc if [ would cons ent to do so, I should be treat e d by bin' with the greatest possible clemency, as h e Was then about to retire from the superintend ence of th e Diocese, and was anxious that hi s l as t j u dicial act shou ld be of the most lenient de scr iption. (Sham e, shame.) The message app eare d Bo ver y kind and considerate, -especially t o a man in my impove rished ciehmstances, that I must ackqo wledge to you Ise received it with a very high degree of satis faction, and with the w armes t gratitude. Accord ingly, I immediately pr ocee d e d to act . upon it ; I submitted my . case to th e d ec i s ion of the Bishop , instead of carrying it into the Court of Arches ; and at the same time I add r e sse d a l e tter to his Lord ship, protesting in the st ronges t terms against the truth of the evidence p ro d uce d aga i n st me before , the commissioners. Wh e th er th e Bishop ever read my letter or not—wheth er h e ever received it or not , —of course I cannot toll. but I have reason to know that at that time the state of his health was such that he was quite - disabled, b eth in body and mind, from attending to business of any descrip tion whatever. This I have always lamented as a very great misfortune to myeelf, for I believed there never was a more just and conscientious man, or a man more amiable and kind-hearted than the late Bishop Bloomfield. This I say with perfect sin cerity, notwithstanding the sentence passed upon me in his name by those who ma naged the affairs of the diocese during his last illness. Well, as I have already said, I submitted to the Bishop, and the result of my submission was a sentence of sus pension for three years, and the sequestration of all the emoluments of my living during that period (loud cries of shame ! shame O. Now I must say that, after the assurance I received that I should be treated with clemency, I think it was hardly fair to in flict upon meswh a sentenceasthis, ('twasshameftil! 'twas infamous 1) for at my time of life it is a sentence of tremendous severity. Nevertheless I bow to it with perfect resignation. Once I did venture to enter tain a hope that it might, perhaps, be mitigated by the present bishop of the diocese, who is, I believe, a man of great humanity and kindness of disposi tion ; but teat hope I have quite relinquished, and I leave the issue entirely in the hands of God—in His goodness and mercy, as well as in his power and his wisdom, I have the most p er f ec t c onfidence; and whether He shall see fit to spare me till the expiration of my sentence, or to remove me before hand out of this troublesome world, " His will be done." I can say " Let Him do what seemeth to Him good." My dear friends, there is one passage in your address for which I beg most especially to thank you. You say, "We would earnestly pray the Almighty Disposer of events to grant that the portion of 1 fe which He may yet spare to you, may prove happier and more peaceful than the past ; and that it may please Him to save and deliver you from your enemies, persecutors, and slanderers ; to disappoint their malice or to turn their hearts." I thank you from the very bottom of my heart ; I thank you for that kind prayer. I would earnestly pray that the Almighty Being, would be graciously pleased to forgive my enemies, persecutors, and slanderers as I forgive them, as I humbly beseech him to forgive myself. 1 sincerely thank you for the patience with which you have heard me, and I thank you a thousand times for all the kind nesses I have received at your hands—kindnesses which, believe me, I never shall forget. Within the last two:years I have had opportunities of forming an estimate of human character which I never had before, and one result of this has been, that the working classes of Ealing have ga i n ed a still higher place in my esteem and affection than even that which they had previously occupied. I mean no offence to any man, or to any class of men, when I say that within these last two.years I have found amongst the working classes of Ealing many amiable and estimable qualities, many generous and noble qualities, which, lam sorry to say, I have not found amongst some who affect to consider themselves their superiors. They have their faults, no doubt, as well as their virtues, or they would not be human beings, but their faults belong to their position, their virtues are their own. I shall always speak of people as I find them, to whatever class they may belong, and I hold with the Scot tish Bard, that The rank is but the guinea's stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that. Mr. Lambert conclided amidst tremendous cheer ing, which lasted for a considerable time. The procession then returned to their starting post by another route, but with the same admirable propriety of conduct; indeed, by their whole be haviour on Tuesday evening, the working men of Ealing have proved themselves worthy of the praises bestowed upon them by their reverend friend and pastor. BURNING OF THE SARAH SANDS SCREW TRANSPORT STEAMER. We regret to announce that a . fatal catastrophe by fire has happened to the Sarah Sands transport steamer on her passage to India from Portsmouth with the head-quarters and a large portion of the men of the 54th Regiment on board, whose preser vation and that of the crew may be fairly considered one of the most marvellous on record, as may be inferred from the fact that the ship was burning furiously in a heavy gale of wind 16 hours, the whole of her afterpart being burnt out to a shell. The Sarah Sands was an iron ship, upwards of 2,000 tons burden, and was formerly employed inl running from Liverpool to America. She was char -t-ered bpthe East-India .Company for the convey ance of troops to India, and on the 16th ofTrist Aug. she leTt Portsmouth for Calcutta, under the com mand of Capt. J. S. Castle, with a portion of the 54th Regiment on board, comprising Lieut.-Col. Moffatt, Captains Brett, Thomson, and Gillum ; Lieuts. Galbraith, Hughes, and Crowpe ; Ensign Wood ; Lieut. and Adjutant Houston, Surgeon Grant, Assist-Surgeon Donovan, Quartermaster Hipkin, Paymaster Dalziel, 21 sergeants, 15 cor porals, 11 drummers, 306 rank anefile, 8 women, 7 children, and a number of ladies, relatives of the officers. The voyage appears to have been favour able until the 11th Of November, when the ship had reached lat. 14 S, long. 56 E. (upwards of 400 miles from the Mauritius). About 3 o'clock in the afternoon of that day the troops berthed on the after orlop deck noticed a smell of burning, which , apparently proceeded from beneath them in the hold. It rapidly increasing the alarm was given to Captain Castle, who at once ordered the after-hold to be examined, and, .to the astonishment and horror of all, the cargo stored there proved to be on fire. It is stated that the bulk of the cargo there consisted of Government stores. Bale after bale was hauled up in the hope of getting at the seat of the fire ; but in a short time the smoke became so dense as to defy any of the crew getting into the hold. There was no confusion ; every order was obeyed by the men with coolness and tour ve. The course of the ship was stopped. Colonel Moffatt was seen in earnest consultation with Captain Castle deciding upon measures for euppressing the flames, while the crew were actively employed in taking all sail in and bringing the ship before the wind. Others ran out lengths of hose from the fire-engines, which were psssed down to hands below, while hose was also put on to the donkey-engine. It soon became apparent that all these exer ions failed in cheeping the progress of the fire. Colonel Moffatt, at the suggestion of the commander, directed his men to at once cast overboard all their ammunition, and in a short time they succeeded in clearing out the star board magazine. The remainder of the powder in the port magazine, h o wever, excited great appre hension. Already had the after part of the ship become almost unapproachable from the dense smoke and heat which filled every portion of it. The colonel appealed to his men for volunteers to attempt to rescue the contents of the magazine now so threatened. Several brave fellows instantly came forward and heroically succeeded in react ing the magazine and clearing it with the exception, it is suppo;ed, of one or two barrels. It was a truly hazardous work, several nearly lost their lives, they became overpowered with the smoke and heat and fell, wereasnd e. ihe hauss. led flames npby s r o o o p n e a . f t t o . r t w h dardesc kbu r nt u va p rio t i h is roi o lg t h bin t s ho spe d e e , ckand iily , set the whole h i ele alo o n e g fi t r he e. There was a heavy gala blowing at the time, and Captain Castle, perceiving the critical position of the ship, at once took measures for the safe lowering of the boats. They were launched without the least accident, the troops were mus tered on deck, there was no .rush to the boats, and the men obeyed the word of command with as much order as on parade. Col. Moffatt informed them that Capt. Castle did not despair of saving the ship, but for their own preservation it had been deemed advisable to keep the boats eff so as to act in case of emergency. The ladies, women, and children were lowered into the port life-boat, and she waealirected to stand off until further orders. All hands then turned to constructing rafts or spare spars. Ina shot t time three were put together, which would have been capable of saving a large portion of those on board. Captain Castle succeeded in launching two overboard, and the third was left across the deck, to be lowered at a moment's notice. In the meanwhile the flames had made terrible progress, the whole of the cabins, saloon, &c., were one body. of fire, and about 9 o'clock the flames burst through the upper deck and ignited the mizen rigging. Through the forethought of Capt. Castle in bringing the ship to the wind the fire and smoke were swept sternways, but serious anxiety was felt lest the ship should pay off, and so render her destruction inevitable. During this fearful suspense a dreadful explosion took place, no doubt arising from one or two bar rels left iu the port magazine, which blew out the port quarter. The ship from the main rigging to her stern was in one general body of fire. Captain Castle still had hope although he expressed his fears to the co mmanding officer of the troops that the ship would be lost. P r ovidentially the bulkhead of the after part of the ship withstood the action of the flames. Ht re all efforts were concentrated to keep it cool. Party after party of the troops volunteered for the work, and so endeavoured to prevent the fire making its way forward. For hours did this state of affairs continue. Although the men kept the fire at bay below it gained the main rigging. Mr. Welch, the chief officer, with several of the soldiers, at once went aloft with wet blankets, and after con siderable peril and risk succeeded in extinguish ing the flames. As it was, however, some of the yards were destroyed. Towards two o'clock the following morning the men had the satisfaction of seeing the fire diminishing. The flames were gradually beaten back, and by daylight were entirely extinguished. It was not till then that the fearful havoc made by the fire was clearly ascer tained, The after part of the ship was burnt out— merely its shell remaining, and now another fate threatened her. The gale still prevailed and the ship was rolling and pitching in a heavy sea con stantly shipping water at the port quarter, which had been blown out by the explosion. Sho had 15 feet of water in her hold, and active steps were ne cessary to prevent her foundering. All the men world h w o e i r d e set c t u o p ta the io p c u as m t p l e s and baling theboaling w sterna out, got two hawsers un der the bottom and made them taut. The nex t difficult y was to atop the terout fall water which was pouring in through the quarter. Spare sails and blankets were placed over the open ing and the leak was partially stopped. There was no abatement in the gale during the morning, and in every heave of the ship the water tanks in the hold which had got loose were dashed from one side to the other. The state of the ship and the continued severity of the weather rendered the constant work ing of the pumps and the baling imperative. It was not till 2 o'clock in the afternoon that the boats con taining the women and children could begot along side. They were got on board, and the other boats, which had been ordered off during the raging of the fire, returned with the exception of the gig, which had been swamped during the night ; the officer in charge of her, however, Mr. Wood, and the hands were picked up by another boat. During the remainder of the day, the following night, and succeediog day, the whole of the hands and troops were engaged working the pumps and clearing the ship of the water. By the evening of the 13th the crew succeeded in securing the stern and getting steerage-way on the ship. She bad then drifted as far as longitude 13.12 south. Captain Castle then set all sail and bore up in the hope of making the M a uritius, and to the joy of all on board made that port in eight days, where her arrival and marvellous escape excited considerable sensation. The officers iu command of the troops speak in the highest terms of the conduct of Captain Castle dur ing the trying occasion. By the latest arrivals the head-quarters and men of the 54th Regiment continued at the Mauritius, At the Police-office, Sunderland, on Christmas day, before G. S. Ranson, Esq:, the mayor, Thos. Johnson, alias William Barker, described as an American seaman, was charged by Mr. Gifford (superintendent of police), with writing a letter on Wednesday, December 23, to the soldiers of the 9th Regiment, stationed in the barracks at Sunder land, for the purpose of being circulated amongst the soldiers, and thereby excite them to mutiny.. It appeared, from the ev.denca adduced, that one of the solders, named John Kenney, a private in the re.gment, was paseiug near Paddy's Goose, in the Low-street, on Wedne day evening last, and met the prisoner, who entered into conversation with him. He then gave Kenney a letter, and asked him. to give it to one of the corporals. The letter was scale i up, but not directed to amione. The prisoner told Kenney he would be in waiting in front of the Sailors' Home on the following evening, and would then expect an answer to his fetter. When Kenney arrived at the barracks he handed the letter to Corporal Blanchfield, by whom it was given to Colour-sergeant Danby, who, on seeing the serious nature of its contents, immedi ately laid it before the coMmanding officer, Major Bethune; and he having inquired how it had got into the barracks, thought it bis duty at once t o take it to the mayor, and consult with him how the writer should be apprehended and dealt with. The following are portions of the letter referred to, and which was read to the court : " Sunderland, Dec. 23, 1857. "Soldiers I—The day, the very hour, has arrived, at which your country must become a republic or go. back to a despotism ; and I have, every reason to beliz,;ve that all the people sincerely desire a com plete change'orgiiitrhatitAmitynt thOough *No-dawdle able policy of those German bastards and petted tyrants they are setting class against class and man against man, and cannot attaintheir liberty without your example and assistance. Your example that shall fire the rest of the arms, arouse all the people, and set your countryat once and for ever free ! Is there not something nobler in the bare idea of such a thing, than thrqwing your time and life away to a government that has sol 1 the liberties of Europe, as it has sold the rights of its own poor and oppressed citizens, your lives, and those' of- your relations ? I now take upon myself that responsibility, and make the following proposals to you :—To morro w night, at 10 o'clock, I Will beat thebarracks, when you shall disarm and •secure your Officer.; and appoint others from the ranks, and follow, me from the Barracks up High-s!reet, proclaiming a republic and calling the citizens to arms. . . .

Accordingly Kenney, accompanied by Mr. Gifford and some of the police in plain clothes, went • to the front of the Sailors' Home. The prisoner was there. Kenney went up to him, and gave him the reply. After a short conversation they parted, and Mr. Gifford went up to and secured the man. Hehad theletter in his hand, which was allertimpled up, and it had to be forced from him. On being asked his name, he said it was William Barker,and that he lodged at No. 25, in the Sailors' Rome : " but (said he, handing over a key) you will find nothing there." He then said, " I See I have gone too far, but will answer no more questions." When they arrived at the police station he was asked by.Mr Gifford what ke intended to do to the officers of the regiment if theyi esisted ; he said, " tomurder them if they did." The prisoner's room. was afterwards searched, when two small bottles having a smell of laudanum, and which were labelled "Laudanum —Poison," and some fragments of a broken bottle, were found. The prisoner said he had bought the laudanum at different shops until he got a bottle full, when he took it all at a draught, and that if it had not made him sick he should not have been there that night. Mr. Francis, police-surgeon, said he had exa mined the prisoner the previous evening, and was of opinion that his mind was unsound ; but whether it arose from his taking the laudanum or from in temperance he could not positively say. On the prisoner being asked by the mayor if he had anything to say, he replied, "Nothing ; I did not say I would murder the officers. I told Mr. Gifford I 101 l no occasion to kill the officers if the men would l foin me." The prisoner was then remanded until Wednes day. It appears, from questions put to the prisoner, that.he belongs to New York, that he was a sailer, and had come to Sunderland by a "run" about a fortnight since. Last week he inserted a very singular advertise ment in a Sunderland newspaper, stating amongst other things that he was in want of a "strong minded ambitious woman" for a wife, "who had plenty of money, for he had none," and directing replies to be sent to "Thomas Johnson, at the Sailors' Home." It is very probable that he will be sent to the Lunatic Asylum.—Manchester Guardian. DISTURBANCES AMONG THE SOLDIERS IN DUBLIN. Much uneasiness and alarm has been caused a Dublin, by the disorderly and violent conduct of some of the military now stationed there. On Christmas night, a desperate quarrel broke out between the Grenadier Guards and the men of the 30th and 55th Regiments. It commenced in a public-house in Queen-street, where the men had been drinking, and some offensive expressions wore used by some of the Guards towards the man of the 30th, when a general melee ensued, "ihe combatants fighting ' with their cross-belts. After a long encounter, and some terrible wounds inflicted on both sides, the Guards, though superior in numbers, were beaten out into the street , amid shouts of victory from the 30th and 55th, who, after the expulsion of their grenadier opponents, went back and kept possession of the public-house. In the meantime the Guards, reinforced by soldiers of their own regiment and of the Shropshire Militia, went back io the house and renewed the combat. Another desperate fight with cross-belts, tables and chairs, pints and tumblers, took place, and the Guards had aga;nto retreat, closely fohowed by the 30th and 55th. T • fight was then resume 1 on the quays, and ended in the Guards retreating, some leaving their shakos behind, which were paraded by the succe,sfel party as trophie; of victory. During this time large cro ads a. sembled, and the neighbourhood was thrown into a state of fear. Stones were thrown in all directions, and windows broken. The shops had to be closed to prevent further damage being done, and the whole thoroughfare was blocked up. A picket of the 30th Regiment arrived, and for a time put an end to the quarrel. The rioters moved on, and while passing threw stones, and smashed several windows in Sit ver-strt et, and Flood-street. A strong detach ment of the Grenadier Guards and of the 30th Regiment, under the command of General Gas coigne, were drawn up in West Liffey-street, who succeeded in getting all the refractory soldiers into barracks. Oa Saturday evening, however, the fight was renewed, and more windows were broken. On Sunday disturbances took place in the barracks, and symptoms of insubordination appeared, which made it necessary to send for the Commander of the Forces from the Chapel Royal, where he happened to be, attending divine service. About seven o'clock in the evening some of the 30th and. 55th Regiments, after going through the streets, calling for the Guards or mil Chancery and meet them, went in a body to ane police-station, with the avowed purpose of releasing any prisoners that might be confined there. Inspector Fitzpatrick, a policeman, on reserve duty, and one prisoner, were the only persons in the station. Inspector Fitzpatrick, when he saw them coming, armed himself with a sword, and gave one to the policeman and another to the prisoner, and. by threatening to cut the first man down who would attempt to force his way into the station-house he succeeded in going to ec . r Noow crowds keeping the soldiers at b a y until a p art y of p olice came to his assistance. The rioters then p roceeded up High-street and Thomas -street, throwin g stones and breaking glass as th e y went alon g . They next directed their course throug h Meath-street to New market, followed by a v ast crowd, but their further career was checked by a la r ge bod y of the po li ce and the mounted sect ion of the force, under the direction of Inspector Boyle.

Mr. Beck's residence was at a cottage about 100 yards from Long Bridge-gate, , and stood a little distance from the main New Bromsgrove road. The bailiff had given notice to leave Cap tain Sheldon, and on the morning of Thursday had w ith him at the cottage, besides his wife, hisbrother Thomas, a man 65 years of age. Retiring to bed as usual, Henry Beck was awakened by a loud noise, and heard the front door kicked violently, and at last burst open. Jumping out of bed, and running to the front bed-room window, Mr. Beck saw a man standing in the turnpike road, who im mediately threw-a large stone at him, which came through the window, but did not hurt him. Alarmed at this, and hearing the footsteps of men inside the cottage, Bock called his brother, and direetly jumped through a back window into the garden, and ran off to the toll-gate for assistance. His brother, Thomas Beck, seizing hold of two iron bed-rods, and in his shirt, went to the top of the stairs, where he saw two fellows in the act of coming up. h) at once, with nianly courage, attacked the burglars with the bars, and kept them at bay. In a minute or two afterwards a pistol was fired at him, and then a second, third, and fourth discharge followed,..at short intervals. Nothing daunted, however, the old man plied his iron weapons with such effect that, escaping the pistol shots by turn ing behind an angle of the stairs, he forced his assailants, two in number, to retreat. According to his account these villains kept their head down, so that he had no opportunity of seeing their faces. He says that they had their shirts over their clothes, but Superintendent Humphries is oflopinion that they wore short white cotton jackets, which na vvies, &c., wear. Sho r tly a ft e r the two Virglars had gone, police-constable Ha rr is, who me on duty near the cottage, entered, and; 'of course, hearing w hat hail taken place, set off in pursuit. owever, the officer was only in time to see the third man in the road, who had kept up an incessant shower of stones, take to his heels, leap over a gate into the fields, and in the darkness he also got off. Police constable Hafris states that hearing the cries of " Murder" and "Thieves" raised by Mr. Beck, he was going there at speed, when Mr. Cooper, far mer, liviesg near, who had also been aroused, spoke to him from his bed-room window, and asked what was the matter. This delayed Harris, who otherwise would have arrived at the cottage whilst the burglars were there, and Mr. Beck; the toll house keeper, also coming up directly after Harris, it is reasonable to infer that two at least out of the three might have been captured. The search which took place disclosed the marks which the slugs from the pistol had made on the stair case wall. Several slugs were found (pieces of sheet lead cut up), and Harris also picked up a pistol near the front door of the cottage, which appeared to have been but recently discharged. Nearly 100 stones were also found on the bed-room floor, thrown by the fellow in the road. We learn also that Mr. Beck, who is reported to have saved a little money, purchased some little time ago a house and land for the sum of 2001. The usual deposit, 101., was paid at the time, and by the terms of the contract, the remainder, 1901., was to be paid on the 24th December, the very day of this attempted robbery. Mr. Beck says that during the preceding week some strange woman called at the cottage, and after talking for some time on ordinary matters, asked, " Mr. Beck, you have to pay your money for the house on the 24th, haven't you?" and an answer was given the curious inquirer in the affirmative. This clearly shows that the gang were well acquainted, no doubt, with the fact, and it was to gain this prize that the foregoing daring attempt was made. Old Thomas Beck says, "Its a bad job the rogues didn't hold their heads up, or I should have jobed their eyes out." No trace of the burglars has been discovered. Mr. Superintendent Humphries and the men under his orders have been indefatigable in their exertions to effect' this most desirable object. It will be seen that keeping down their heads so that old Beck coulci not see their features, and all wearing the common white jackets referred to, no chance oe eurre'd of securing any mark of identity as to this desperate gang.--Birmingham Journal.

Rathbone and Mr. W. Erle hawing taken their • seats, the prisoners were again see t f r. about half past two o clock, and placed in the dock. The shoat facts of the case are as follows : Os Thursday evening the American passenger ship J. J. Boyd, was lying in the river, and just about to leave the port for New York, when, as if by a previously arrang d plan, the crew broke out in mutiny, .and the passengers, amounting to several hundreds, were frightfully alarmed by the crew, who were running about the deck with halid spikes and drawn knives. So terrified were the passengers of the ship, that two of them came ashore in. a st!am-tender,- and gave information to the police. An inspector and about a dozen officers proceeded ito the vessel, and found the crew all armed, and stoutly refusing to proceed to sea. The decks were crowded with passengers, who were • - ' a l dtteasctkaeldarm: some.irh e s r e u e n o n n i d rig m ab a o te nt ha: in d a b s e t e a:e n o ir f io tl u ie sl w y of the crew, who had struck him with a handspike, anti — A evere ly lacerated his me .Ss Ce.sstai tt • - Tlioness,estllrs master of the vessel, orde ? snd the **?' police to take all the seamen into custody on the charge of mutiny, and twenty-seven were at once • put in irons, and brought on shore. On the casebeing called on, the charge of Mutiny was abandoned, in consequence of the captain's desire to get to sea, and a charge of assault only preferred, a!thoughjit was quite clear that the evi dence was sufficiently strong to have supported the graver charge. William Ellis, the second mite of the ship, said that the twenty-seven men in the dock formed l art • of the crow. The ship was in the river, on the Liverpool side. At 7 o'clock on Wednesday night last John Chapman, ono of the prisoners, struck Min 'with - a belaying pin. He had at the time a knife in his hand. One of the crew was then in irons, and David Can and Joseph S. Burice, two of the crew, said, " If you do not let him out of irons, we will take him out." Witness was knocked. down insensible, and he could not say whether lie was struck or not by any of the other prisoners besides Chapman. Joseph Teom.a,s, the chief mate, said—l saw the prisoner Entice draw his knife and threaten to stab me. . - John Smith, the boatswain, deposed -to seeing the prisoner Chapman striking the second mate. W. Hood-Can and Arthur Wainwright Friend, two of the passengers, also deposed to hearing se veral of the crew threaten to stab the two mates, but they oould ,not distinctly swear to any of the prisoners, With 'the 'exception of Bunco; and the witness Friend stated that on Sunday night last he saw Bullets, take' out his knife and threaten to stab the second mate. _ Mr. Cobb then addressed the bench on behalf of the two last named, after which, Mr. Rathbone stated that, after the course taken on the pot of the captain, the bench could not go into the charge of mutiny, but it was perfectlyclear that a very serious assault had been proved againet the prisi)ners Chapman and Bence, and as regarded them, the bench had decided to inflict a fine of 51. each, or in default two months' imprisonment: With regard to the rest of the prisoners, it was at least also quite clear that they had behaved very ill, and if the magistrates had had the duty im posed upon them of sending the case before - an other court, he had no doub' but what they would all have been severely punished, for it was evident that there had been a mutiny on beard the vessel on the part of the prisoners, and they would all leave that court with a black character. They had a very narrow escape, in consequence of the course which had been taken.—Liverpool Albion. AN " ABSENT " BANKRUPT,-THE DOHERTY CASE At another adjourned certificate meeting in the case of John Doherty, late acorn merchant of Li verpool, yesterday, before Mr. Commissioner Ste venson, at the Liverpool Bankruptcy Court—Mr. Deighton, barrister, who appeared for the bank rupt, applied for an adjournment, sine die, on the ground that the comments which had been made upon the conduct of the bankrupt, the state of public feeling with regard to his affairs, and the recent harass of a crinn nalprosecutionlad produced such an • effect upon the bankrupt's mind that .it would be impossible for him to meet the charges made against him in a manner which would do justice to himself. Mr. Deighton was instructed to say, that if these charges were fairly gone into, and at a proper time, Mr. Doherty would be able to meet them and answer them satisfactorily. Mr. Aspinall (who appeared. for the assignees) said that in a case where it was impossible that the bankrupt could obtain a certificate the plan which had been adopted was the best to get Mr. Doherty out of the case and avoid further publicity ; but he (Mr. Aspinall), though giving full credit for sin'- cerity to Mr. Deighton—who doubtlessrhad acted according to his instructions—could not allow such a statement and application to go without answer and opposition. When the bankrupt was before the court the other day he appeared in good health, and the ingenuity with which he answered some questions, and avoided answering others,showed the • greatest amount of mental acumen. . thisuPported by medical te3timony, Mr. Aspinall contended that the court could not grant the present application, and applied for an immediate refusal of the certi r ficate, observing that there were precedents for such a course. His Honour was not aware of such precedents, bat thought it was quite competent for the court to go into the question of certificate in th© absence of the bankrupt, or even to issue a surinvions or war rant, if necessary, to secure his presence. • Mr. Aspinall denied that the bankrupt had boon harassed beyond what was necessary for the pur poses of justice. His conduct had been matter of newspaper report and criticism, but not more Si than the character of the case was likely to call for. He had not in any way been made the victim of persecution, as had been insinuated by his counsel. After some further conversation it was decided that a., adjournment should be madefor afortnight, medical evidence as to the exact condition of the bankrupt to be obtained in the meantime, and pro duced on that occasion. THE W4TBBLOO-BRIDGB MURDER. A PRETENDED CONFESSION. COLCHESTER, MONDAY. During yesterday some sensatim was caused in this to wn by a rumour that a soldier at the camp bad confessed - to having been concerned iu murdering the man whose mangled remains were recently found in one of the piers of Waterloo-bridge. It appears that a deserter from the 66th Regiment, named Thomas Pedlar, was brought back to the camp on Saturday evening, and whilst in the guard-room attempted to commit suicide by strangling himself with his neckerchief. He afterwards dropped some hints about having committed some crime wbieh be cared more about than desertion ; and at last said he with two others, over t ater l a o t Waterloo-brid g e. - f tbhr e i d i v g i e m h . m he time, I said a n u r a y e murdered a man in London, and after he had been cut up and put into a carpet bag a woman took it man was not a foreigner, but a farmer, and had 601. about him.
