Ch ARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO EXCITE MUTINY. • At _the Police-office, Sunderland, on Christmas day, before G. S. Rauson, Esq., the mayor, Thos. Johnson, alias William Barker, deicribed 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 9thigegiment, 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 deuce adduced, that one of the solders, named John Kenney, a private in the reg mont, was passing near Paddy's Goese, in the Lew-street, on Wednesday evening last, and met the prisioner, who entercd into conversation with him. He then gave Kenney a letter, and asked hits to give it to one of the corporals. The letter was sealed up, but not directed to anyone. The prisoner told Kenney he would be in waiting in front of the Sailors' Home on the followele evening, and would then expect an answer to his lette. When Kenney arrived at the barracks he handed the letter to Corporal Blanchfield, by whom it was given to Colour-serge ant Daeby, who, on seeing the serious nature of ifs conteets, immedi ately laid it before the commanding officer, Major Bethune; and he- having iriquird how it had got into the barracks, thought it his duty at once to 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 !s e -The day, the vezthotir,Vas arrived, .at which your connityettust beecoiner 2 o,--republic or go back to a despotism ; and I have every reason to believe that all the people sincerely desire a com plete change of government, but through the damn able policy of those Garman 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 army, arouse all the people, and set your country at once and for ever free I Is there not something nobler in the bare idea of such a thing, than throwing your time and life away to a government that has soil the liberties of Europe, as it has sold the rights of its ownpoor 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 morrownight, at 10 o'clock, I will beat thebarracks, when you shall disarm and secure your officers and appoint oth ,r e tsloF r vil s t7;pll f ke r s itxi m the ranks, and follow me from t nattoo h hni : eedti it; a sTil r iyoawi r ornp a i,rg c il k i e al and. r in i z g ue l ifn i lr - tso s il t nt r ont e , icoantif,:tphsrweo. waiting go. i r n sy g ,ro a nou_r r ion e am p on u erBr, h :o l evr t i c ii. thenat the arrangedfol low la betweeng eplreply • Gi l ff t o w rd as tl should be written slid delivered to prisoner by Kenney, at the time and place appointed to receive the answer :—" In answer to yours of yesterday, we, the soldiers of the 9th, are prepared to do our duty." Accordingly Kenney, accompanied by Mr. Gifford and some of the police in plain clothes, went to the front of the Sailors' Home. The p:isoner 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. He had the letter in his hand, which was all crumpled 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' Home : " but (said he, handing over a key) you will find nothing there." lie then said, " I see I have gone too fir, hut will answer no more questions." When they arrived at the police station lie was asked by Mr Gifford what he intended to do to the officers of the regiment if they resisted ; he said, "tom urder them if 'they did." The prisoner's room was afterwards searched, when two small bottles havin g a smell of laudanum, and which were labelled "Laudanum —Poison," and some fragments of a broken bottle, were found. The prisoner said he had boeght 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. Franc's, police-surgeon, said he had exa mined the prisoner the previous evening, and was of opinion that his mind was unsound ; but whe , her it arose from his taking the laudanum or from in ytshaey.mayer if he tem on pe t r h an e c p e e rton co e u r l b d e llo g t a p s o k s e lt d iv b e y l had anythiza to say, he replied, "Nothing ; I did not say T wound murder the offieeee. I told Mr. Gifford I had too occasion to kill the officers if the meni would joiit rne."- The prieonOr was then remanded until Wednes day. It appearS," from questions put to the prisoner, that he belongs to New York, that he was a sailor, and had come to Sunderland byn "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 iu 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, Jolla Smith, tho 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 could not distinctly swear to any of the prisoners, with the exception of Bunce, and the witness Friend stated that on Sunday night last he saw Bunce 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 tho past 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 against the prisoners Chapman and Bunce, and as regarded thew, the bench had decided to inflict a fine of 51. each, or i❑ default two mouths' 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 doubt, but what they would all have been severely punished, for it was evident that there had been a mutiny on board the vessel on the part of the prisoners, and they would all leave that court with a black character. They had Ia very narrow escape, in consequence of the course which hail been taken.—Liverpool AN " ABSBNI" BANICRIJPT.-THJI DOHERTY CASE. THE IVAT t. - RLOO-BRIDI MURDER. A PRETENDED CONFESSION. COLCHESTER, MONDAY. During yesterday some sensation was caused in this town by a rumour that a seldi,r at the camp had confessed to having been concerned in murdering the man whose mangled remains were recently found in one of the s 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. a a ii d a had the M He afterwards di opped some hints about having committed some crime whieh he cared more about than desertion ; and at last said he with two others, murdered a man in London, and after he had been out up and put into a carpet bag a woman took it away and threw it over Waterloo-bridge. In reply t m o u th rd e e s r e , rhgueati was l t w in n o t had l.).e h chargeouse at th of e himtime, he i man was not a foreigner, but a farmer, and had . about him. He added that he did not com m it t h e part of the money. The circumstance was com municated to the borough police, and Superinten dent Dunn had an interview with the !prisoner, when he said it was all humbug, and he knew no more about the murder than he had read in the papers. The prisoner was brought up to-day at the Borough t -T Bench, when he m ade a similar re traction. —e is a poor idiotic -looking, and by no means likely, j u dging frora physical characteristics, to have played a pa me i n so subtle and sanguinary a transaction. He s tates that he comesfrom Bristol, but will not tell whether he has any friends, or whom he was em ployed by in that town. The Mayor (who is a physician) expressed his belief that the twin 8 mind was deranged. He also appeared to wish to exchange military f or civil c ustod y , and he said he should rather go to gaol than be sent back to the camp. No reliance whatever has been placed on his statement as to the murder, and he will be handed back to the military authorities. On Saturday the particulars of a very serious mut ny on board ship in the Mersey occupied the attention of the magistrates. The case was, in the first instance, brought before the borouglt magi strates, at the Police-court, but the question of jurisdiction was raised. Mr. Wybergh and Mr. Garnett, clerks to the magistrates, having consulted the act of parliament, .decided that the borough magistrates had no juris diction in the case, the mutiny having taken place on board ship in . the river, and that the investiga tion must take place before the county magistrates. The prisoners, 27 in number, were then placed in a van, and conveyed to the County Magistrates' Court, in Basnett-street. Mr. Goodere, solicitor, - who appeared on behalf of the prosecution, and Mr. Cobb, solicitor, who defended ten of the prisoners, shortly appeared in court, when there way only one magistra.e on the bench, and as the nature of the case required two, it could not proceed until the attendance of another magistrate bad been procured. A. first a tempt to ob‘ sin a second magistrate failed, and the case was about to be adjourned, when the captain of the ship, being anxious to sail that night, a farther effort was made, and Mr. W. Rathbone and Mr. W. Erle having taken their seats, theprisoners were again sent for, about half. past two o'clock, and placed in the dock. The short facts of the case are as follows : 0 i Thursday evening the American passenger ship J. J. Boyd, was lying in the river, and just ts about to leave the port for New York, %lien, - 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 hand spikes and drawn knives. So terrified were the passengers of the ship, that two of them came ashore iu a steam-teneler, and gave information to the police. An inspector and about a dozen officers proceeded ?..to the vessel, and found the crew all armed, and stoutly rtfusing to proceed to sea. The . decks- were crewded with passengers, who were "running about4tV,state of the wildest alarm . . second. mate had been furiously attacked by some of the crew, who had struck him with a handspike, and severely lacerated his mouth. Captain Thomas, the master of the vessel, ordered 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 case being called on, the charge of mutiny • was abandoned, in consequence of the captain desire to get to sea, and a charge of assault only preferred, althoughlit was quite clear that the evi dence was sufficiently strong to have supported the graver charge. William Ellis, the second mate of the ship, said that the twenty-seven men in the dock formed part of the crew. The ship was in the river, on the Liverpool side. At 7 o'clock on Wednesday night - last John Chapman, one of the prisoners, struck him 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. Bunco, 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 he was struck or not by any of the other • prisoners besides Chapman. Joseph Thomas, the ohief mate, said—l saw the prisoner Bunco draw his knife and threaten to stab me. _ _ At another adjourned certificate meeting in the mom of - Jointia4ittet-lopru mg:reliant 14 - verpool, yesterday , beforelMe. 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 criminalprosecution had 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 doubtless had 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. Unsupported by medical testimony, Mr. Aspinall contended that the court could not grant the present application, and applied for an immediate refusal of the certi ficate, observing that there were precedents for such a course. His Honour was not aware. of such precedents, but thought it was quite competent for the court to go into the question of certificate in the absence of the b tultrupt, or even to issue a summons or war rant, if necessary, to secure his presence. Mr. Aspinall denied that the bankrupt had been harassed beyond what was necessary for tho pur poses of justice. His conduct had been matter of newspaper report and criticism, but not more so thin the charair of the case was likely to call for. He had not in any way bean msde the victim of pt-rgecution, 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.

Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., T HE LADY OF GLYNNE. By the Author of _ (Front the Buckingh,a»tshire 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 iu 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 s'artel from the old church at half-past six o'clock, headed by a van in which was an excellent baud of musicians, followed imme diately by another van hrden with Chtestufas pre sents, and carrying Messrs. Smith, -Renshaw, Rilett, and Bell. Both vans were proftinely deco rated with flags and banners ; after these came 60 men carrying torehes, and the large body of work ing men brought up the rear. Vast crowds of per sons assembled in the route of the precession, and cheered it as it passed along. When it arrived at Mr. Lambert's house it halted, and Mr. Renshaw read the following address : " MARGARET AND HER BRIDESMAIDS."

" Rev. and Dear Sir,—We, the working classes of Ealing, 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 haul been most cruelly persecuted and oppressed ; and we believe you to be the victim of a foul conspiracy. " We hope, however, that the present Bishop of Lan• don, who is universally spoken of as a just and kind hearted man, will not any- fiSbger delay to effeeevireen the Church the stain which this atrocious sentence has left upon it, but will speedily restore you to the flock who still love and esteem you, and to that position of usefulness and untiring exertion which you had hereto fore occupied amongst them. "And we would earnestly pray the Almighty Dis poser of events to grant that the portion of life 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, and to turn their hearts 1 " 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 some small degree, the burden of your adversity. To this address Mr. Lambert returned nearly the following answer : My Dear Friends, —I 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 in 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—(loud 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. gentleman 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 ,tment of late. 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 am 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 .1 should be allowed to give any evidence in my own defence, or even that I should be per ' mated to be present in court while my accusers were bearing their testimony against me, I must frankly confess to you that in this mode of pro ' ceeding there does seem to me to have been such a went of good, horset English fair play—such an entire absence of even-handed justice—so re snarkas,2 Le a divert froecoe the A ctiieb rtqa ofX judicial obtains in our courts of law; that I really think I have some reason to complain ; for lam quite sure that my statement, if I had been permitted to make one, would have left upon the minds of the commis stoners an impression very different indeed from that which they received, and which they must na turally and necessarily have received, fro v m the un contradicted testimony of my accusers. till,how ever, there was open to me the Court of f Ar a c d hes, into which I might have carrie d my c d ase b ) a j t u if dication ; and I have not the slightest out r that I had brought my case into l n d have obtained a decision in my favouor.ng i into the fortunately, I was prevented from . g ch I received Court of Arches, by a memag° that court ß l a s t h , u u in very earnest from the authorities, urging f [ would consent Bishop, and assuring me that if him with the to do so, I should be treated Y then about to terms to submit my case to decision of the greatest possible clemency, as he was_ retire from the superintendence and was anxious that his last judicial act should be of the most lenient description. (lame, shame.) The message appeared considerate, especially to a ma n so very kin andof the Diocese, impove rished circumstances, that I m ust acknowledge to you I received it with a very high degree of in my satis faction, and with the warmest gratitude. Accord ingly, I immediately proceeded to act upon it ; I submitted my case to the decision o f the Bishop, instead of carrying it int o the Court of A rches ; and at the same time I add resse d a letter to his Lord ship, protesting in th e strongest terms against the truth of the evidenc e p ro d u ced against me b efore the commissioners. Wh e ther the Bishop ever r ead my letter or not—wh e th er he ever received it or not , —of course I cannot tell. But I have reason to know that at that time the state of his health was such that he was quite disabled, bath in body and mind, from attending to business of any descrip tion whatever. This I have always lamented as a very great misfortune to myself, 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 managed 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 1). Now I must say that, after the assurance I received that I should be treated with clemency, I think it wee hardly fair to in flict upon me sueh a sentence as this, et was shameful! 'twas infamous !) for at my tirae of life it is a sentence of tremendous severity. Neverthelessl bow to it with perfect res , gnation. 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 that hope I have quite relinquished, and I leave the issue entirely in the heads of God — in His goodness and mercy, as we ll as in his power and his wisdom, I have the m os t per f ec t co nfidence; and whether e 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 youraddress for which I beg most especially to thank you. You say, " W e wou ld ea rnestly .pray the Almighty Disposer of events to gran t that the portion of life 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. I 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 gained 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, I am sorry to say, I have not found 'amongst some who affect to consider thernsWves their superiors. They have their faults, no-goubt, 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 concluded 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 propri-ty 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 maybe 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 afterps.rt - being burnt out to a shell. The SersiCSands_wakan iron ship,. upwards of 2,000 tong'. burden, and Was ;former - 13r is - i 416 liss' running from Liverpool to America. She was char tered by the East India Company for the convey ance of troops to India, and on the 16th of last Aug. she left 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 rowpe ' • 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 appaientiy 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 courage. The course of the ship was stopped. Colonel Moffatt was seen in earnest consultation with Captain Castle deciding upon measures for suppressing 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 passed down to hands below, while hose was , 1 also put on to the donkey-engine. It soon became apparent that all these exer ions failed in cheekiug the progress of the fire. Colonel Moffatt, at the ' suggestion of theconamander, directed his men to, l 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, however, 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.

Moffatt informed them that Capt. Castle did not despair of saving the ship, but for rheir own preservation it had been deemed advisable to keep the boats off so as to act in case of emergency. The ladies, women, and children were lowered into the port life-boat, and she was directed to stand off until further orders. All hands then turned to constructing rafts or spare spars. In a short 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.

DARING ANT) ise — ePERATE BURGLARY _ _PTBA4 , "TING.IiAM. up 6 1- - • Abnrglary was committed at one o'clock on the morning of Thursday last, at Mr. Henry Beck's, near Long Bridge toll-gate, King's Norton, near Birmingham. For some years past Mr. Beck .has been farm bailiff to Captain Sheldon, of the Comb, situate about a quarter of a mile from the toll gate. 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 with 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, Beck called his b ro th er , an d directly 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. He at once, with manly courage, attacked the burglars with the bars, and kept them at bay. In a minute or two afterwards a, pistol was fired a, 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, ho 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 bad their shirts over their clothes, but Superintendent Humphries is ofjopinion that they wore short white cotton jackets, which navvies, &c., wear. Shortly after the two burglars had gone, police-constable Harris, who was on duty neat the cottage, entered, and, of course, hearing what had taken place, set off in pursuit. However, the officer was only in time to see the thin 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 Harris states that hearing the cries of " Murder" and "Thieves" raised by Mr. Beek, he was going there at speed, when Mr. Cooper, far mer, living 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 ♦ery 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 I" and an answer was given the curious inquirer in the affirmative. This clearly shows that the gang were w€ll 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 beads up, or I should have jobbed 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 sein that keeping down their heads so that old Beck could not see their features, and all wearing the common white jackets referred to, no chance oc curred of securing any mark of identity as to this desperate gang.—.
