SELECT VESTRY. The fortnietly meeting of the Select Vestry was held at 10 o'clock yesterday, in the Workhouse Board Room ; the Rev. Rector C.Ampb;ll in the chair. The other members present were - .:+lessrs. Bairstow, Owen, Jackson, Richard son, Cork, Chesney, J. Jones, Mellor, Denton, Syred. Whitty, Smi:h, Crellin, Hughes, Williams, Critchley, and W. Jones. WORKUOITSII COMMUTEE. The proosedings of this Committee were read, from' which it appeared that the number in the house on the lith inst was 2,341; the number of sick cases on the same day was 614, includmg 40 fryer and 29 itch; the vagrants relieved were 256 wales, 101 females, and 35 children—in All 392. The number in the industrial School on the 10th inat was 902 ; sick eases, 61, including 7 cases of itch. - Mr. Owtnst moved the confirmation of the proceedings, which did not contain anything, of public interest. Mr. BAutsrcw seconded the motion, which was agreed to without any discussion. INDUSTRIA'. ECIIOOLS COMMITTRE The prcceedings of this Committee were also read sad Confirmed, without exciting any discussion. r•t /NCE COMMITTEE The minutes cf this Committee were read and confirmed, on the motion of Me. OwaN. Mr. JACKSON moved (in the absence of Mr. Woodraff, of -whose presence the Vestry were deprived by a domestic -calemi y) that the Vestry rescind se much of their regula tions as related to the boundaries of NO3. 4, 11, and 7 mcdi cal districts, in order to form therefrom two new districts, agreeable to the recommendation of the Finance Commit - toe of the 30 h ultimo Some gentlemen might not be aware that the medical officers were appointed upon two princi ples—part receiving £l-10 a year each, with a very small district, and permission to have private practice. The more recent method had been found more desirable and convenient, that of requiring their medical offizeris to give their whole time in attending to the poor uneer the care of the parish, and of giving them a competent allowance, so as to command hti services of efficient :tad respectable men. - The dee - h of Mr. Braththaw has lefL a district vacant. One of the medical officers at present, whose whole time was devoted to the service of the parish, received only as much eatery as if he could take private practiCe also. Instead of £2OO a year and vaccination fees, he had only £l4O a year, and a v - ry small district, not being equal to one-h-df of the work which was performed by those who had full Cisericts with £2OO a year each. The Finance Committee, therefore, thought this a favourable opportunity for uniting two small districts, and giving to 31r. Games the fair remuneration to which he was entitled, for devoting his whole time to the service of the parish. On that ground, therefore, Mr. Jackein proposed that the resolution be adopted. Mr. DENTON seconded the motion. Mr. WiirrTy said, it apps ired by what had fallen from Mr. Jackson, that it was now proposed to make three districts into twr, and it we,4, at the same time, proposed to add £6O a year to the salary of Mr. Games. He did not hear any reference whatsoever made to the other medical cfficer, who would receive, no doubt, by the division of the three districts, a large acces.ion to his labours and duties. It did not appear that additional remuneration was contemplated for any person except Mr. Games. POLICE IN TELL' GENCE - YESTrAbAY. THE GREAT WEI,CH HEIRESS IN LIVERPOOL Our readers, no doubt, will remember a celebrated case of an alleged Welch heiress at Chester, some time ago, and now we have to announce her arrival in Liverpool. Mary Ellen Todd was charged by Mary Lewis, with having stolen a mantle, a collar, a pair of gloves, and other things out of a house, No. 5, Greenwood-street. It was stated that the complainant is the celebrated h Welch heiress." She is considerably taller than the generality of women, and but for her nose, which is rather " snubbed," she would be a regular Juno according to modern notions of Heathen mythology. flow she came here did not appear, but several hints were thrown out. It did appear that she lodged at the house in question, and that over a week snce, the prisoner called there. The complainant said the prisoner seemed to know the owner of the house, and she (witness) invited her to " a cup of tea." When she went away, the things were missed. and the collar was found with the prisoner, and this piece of finery the complainant identified as her property, and said it cost 2s. Gd. The prisoner alleged that she bought the article. She was remanded for further inquiry. IMPORTANT TO PAWNBROKERS —Mr. Hughes, the out door officer of the parish, brought up a woman, named Anne Smith, charged with having absconded from the workhouse, taking sense clothes, and pledging them, besides leaving her two children in the workhouse. Mr. Hughes said she absconded in Slstember, and he did not find her until that morning, when he found she had taken a house in the Park, and that she was residing there with a black man as his wife. He got them sitting down to a nice breakfast of tea and toast, and a bottle of rum on the tThle. He found she had pledged the clothes at Messrs. Medder and Thorn's pawnshop, 132, Saint James's-street, and on going there, he found that the articles were pledged with the workhouse marks on them, and he was of opinion that the pawnbroker was liable to a penalty for so doing. The prisoner was sent to jail for two months; and Mr. Hughes was instructed to lodge an information against the pawbrokers. CHARGE ITNDIR TILE 14.7tru SECT. OF THE MCI CHANT SHIP PING ACT.—Mr. lichert Palmer, of Litherland-alley, was summoned under the above secii of the act, for " supplyi-g seamen," without being duly licensed to do so. Mr. Tyndall appeared for the lioarl. of Trade, and Mr. Snowball for the defendant. Mr. Tyndall, in stating the case, said there were two informations against the defendant—one at the suit of Williem McDougal, the other at the suit of Peter Johnston, both seilore, whom the defendant had procured to be shipped ou board a vessel called the Floating Light, for Bombay. The charge was under, he said, the sect. of the act in question, and the facts were these. The defendant was the keeper of an office in Litherland-alley, and calls himself a shipping master or agent. Mr. Snowball : I beg your pardon, he calls himself no such thing, he is not a shippi ng m ast er nor agent. Some years ago, he acted as one, but he does not do so now, nor does he hold out that he is one, by proclamation over his door or sign board, The only sign about his place is one intimating that young men would be taken fer her Mejesty's Navy Mr. Tyndall said on the 12th November, the seamen McDougal and Clarke, wont to Ute office of the defendant, and asked hint had he a ship ? Be replied he had the Floating Light, Caplain Edward Sleigh, for" Bombay, and that she was in the Birkenhead docks, and that they could ship by her. He told them to g) to Birkenhead and see the captain, and they did so. They saw the captain, and he asked them for their cer tificates of discharge, which they produce 1. The captain wrote on the back of the eartifictates, " please ship the hearer." They returned, and saw Mr. Primer at his office, and ho told them to call on Fatuaiay, when the captain would be there to meet them. They subsequently went to the Sailors' Home, on Monday, and signed articles there along with the captain, and the C3.:0 was no ,v ,brought against the defendant for supplying men, not being licensed to do so. He (Mr. Tyndall) had also laid another information against the captain, for employing an unlicensed person to supply him with moo, and that he would pro ceed with after the two present cases were disposed of. He called M'Dougal, who, on being examined, said : I am a seaman, and went on Thursday last to the office of Mr. Palmer, Litherland-alley, and asked him had he a chip, and he said, " Yes, one for Bombay." Ho sent me to the captain (Sleigh) who wrote on the back of ma discharge, "Please sh7p the bearer." The captain did not spea's to me. I then went to Palmer's, and told him the captain had accepted my discharge, and he took down my name. He told me to be there again on Monday. I wont, and saw the captain there, and then went to the Sailors' Hcme, and signed articles. Crass examined by Mr Seashell : I went to Paper's first; I did not pay anything to h'm ; the captain of the ship employed me. To Mr. Tyndall : The captain told me I wets to get my advance nete at Mr. Duncan Gibb's, the owner of the ship. To Mr. Snowbell : The captain told me I might go in the ship To the Court : There was nothing said about payment, nor am I to pry Mr Pelmer. shipped with Mr. Palmer some years aro, and that was why I went to him then. Peter Johnston, in whose case the second information nas laid, was then examined, aid proved the same a 3 the other witness. Mr. Snowball nip], his client was not a shipping agent, but he knew Captain Sleigh, and the man haring formerly shipped with Mr. Pal mer, when he wee no agent some years ago,: merely went to ask him if he knew of a ship, and knowing his friend the captain wanted a crew, he told them to go, and the captain engaged the men himself. Making use of Mr. Palmer's office was not an effmce, and besides, there was no pay ment nor mention of any ; and there was no proof that the vessel was a British ship. Me Tyndall : We are not bound to prove that. His Worship did not think the evidence sufficient, and dismiseed the information. Mr. Tyndall said, the evidence given by the men in the box was totally at varia nce w i t h w h at t h ey to l d him the pre vi ;us day. His Worship said, he had little doubt of that as they appeared very reluctant to give their evidence. The charges were then damissed, end Mr. Tyndal said he would withdraw the case against the captain. Mr. JACKSON said, the addition which would ba made to the district of the other me3icil offi:er, was so exceedingly small that he neither sought nor would be entitled to increased remune.ation. He was him-elf perfectly satisfied with the arrangement, which would make his district more cAivenient for his own dwelling. Mr. DErroN said it might be still further mentioned that the medical officer in question even asked for a small portion in addition, in order that the offic, he now occupied might come within his district, end the pro.- posed addition was the only way in which thi could Le effected. The motion then passed. Mr. JACKSON moved, following oat the previous motion, that Mr. Games b appointed to one of the now districts, at a salary of £2OO per annum, and vicciaation Mr. DENTON ca:r.cled the resolution, remarking that the altered arrangement would afford a saving to the parish a something like £6O a year. • The motion was carried. RATING OP THE DOCK PROPERTY. Mr. BAIRSTOW said the members would perceive a notice Eon the table that morning of an int , nded application for power to rate the dock property of Liverpool. Notices had been given by the churchwardens and overseers for an epplicatiou to Parliament, and in order that they might proceed, he had now to suggest a resolution authorising them to apply to the Poor-law Board for permission to take the necessary steps, by means of the parish funds. Mr. CHESNEY moved accordingly that an application be made by the Vestry to the Poor-14w Board, for permission to take the requisite measures out of she parish rates. Mr. CRITCHLEY seconded the motion. Mr. DENTON asked what had become of the voluntary fund. They had £3OO or 1100 in bank. Mr. BAIRST,:,W : They may not grant this application. Mr. DENTCN thought by an application to the ex-church wardens they might be able to get up that money now, especially as it was sought for a 1- gitimate purpose. It would be worth the trial, at any rate. The motion then passed. Mr. DENTON give notice that, at the next meeting, he 'would move the rescindirg of the following resolution entered upon the minutes of the Workhouse C_Eamittee, and cor..fi , naed by the Board • n the 2ad February, 1854 : "The committee, having learned from the governor's journal that unauthorised persons have visited the work house for the purpose of imparting religious instruction to the inmates--:llesolved, That the practice be prohibited, except as regards the vagrant sheds, and that the v i ews o f the committee up-on the sul - jeet be communicated to the governor by the Vestry clerk." This concluded the business. TEE IRISH CHANCELLOR AND TIE C RANGE LIEN. Chr'st Church (Belfast) Protestant Association, beaded by the Rev. Dr. Drew, have adopted a series of resolutions menacing Chancellor Brady with " attainder and loss of fortune, liberty, and life," as the just penalty of the unhappy letter addressed to the,Marquis of L9n donderry. Such, at least, seam to be the obvious mean ing of the following resolutions : Resolved—That the Protestant Association take notice with much regret of the recent letter of the Lord Chan cellor. They respectlullfplead with that high officer of State, and ask whether, in his limitation respecting candidates for the magistracy, he has not outstepped the limits or the British c:mstitution ; and, if so, whether there be not bistorical record for showing that by acts of a similar unlawful kind great functionaries have been subj.eted to attainder and loss of fortune, liberty, and life. They respectfully inquire if the same high efficer o state reject any candidate on alleged and specified oppro brious grounds, at once insulting to said candidate, and injurious to his position and reputation, whether an ac tion at law will not lie against the public defamer of any candidate who belongs to a society of proverbial loyalty and undeniable legality. As to the commemoration of anniversaries, this asso ciation r: speetfully remind him of what occasioned the visit of William 111. to this country, and how the monarch _James 11. and Lord Chancellor Fitian of those days ceased to hold office. To commemorate the removal of Inquisitious Kings aad Statesmen, to glorify God for civil and religious liberty restored, and to keep in endearing rememberancl the fathers of the Reformation and the originators of the glorious revolution of 1888 they bold to be a most indespensable and religious duty.

A " Rem" REcat;rr.—A. young fellow named Edward Biggins, a recruit, belonging to ttte 60th Rifles, was charged with having assaulted o: - cer 809. The officer took the prisoner into custody in Dale- acreet, where he was very drunk, and creating a disturbance, and then the prisoner kicked and maltreated him very badly. It required the assistance of eight men to take him to the station, and am.ngst these was. Mr. Joseph Bates, of Sweeting-street, who got a blow from the prisoner that split his lip open, but he declined to prosecute, but the prisoner was sent to gaol for two months, in (lefault of paying a fine cf £5 for the assault on the officer. SLA:9IIER AND CRASHER !—A tailor named Henry Bamber, was charged with breaking the door of Mc. J. B. Wickham's public-hogs, Lime-street. The barman at the hearse, said about 1 o'clock in the morning the prisoner called at the house ; he was drunk, and wanted mere liquor, but he was refu6•ed, and put into the street, when he turned back and kicked the pannels out of the door. Mr. Mans field : Is this the house that there was some discussion, and an appeal about ? The officer said it was the same house. The barman said the damage done was about 151. His Worship said the course adopted in this instance was a very proper one in refusing the drink to a fellow who was already drunk. The prisoner alleged that some one inside had struck him, but this was denied, and the prisoner was fined lss. and costs, or to be imprisoned for two months. His Worship expre,sirg his intention of protecting from insult and damage publicans who kept their houses respect able. A BLACM;ITARD.—A. bbourer named Thomas Morris, was charged with having atteurpted to rob a drunken man, and also with having assaulted a female, named Hannah Holden - bottle. She stated that about 3 o'clock the previous day, Ell 9 taw a drunken man in Limekiln - lane, and observed the prisoner go up to him on pretence of rendering him assistance, but insteA cf that, he tried to rob him, and when she interfered, he struck her several blows on the head and face. The prisoner was filed £lO, or to be imprisoned for six month with hard labour. John Bernie was sent fa. trial, for picking pockets in a mock auction room. THE CANNIBAL.-John Jones, who was remanded on a chnrge of having bitten the ear of Richard Carton, was brought up, and the evidencl of the medical man bring given as to the injury, the prisoner was sent for trial. Taut NEW ESGLISII ENVOY Tl'lllE 'UNITED C:TATES.—By let'efs from our London corresp in lent, recetv..l by the Persia, we learn that the B:itish Governmeat has decided to appoint a speciel Minister to negociste a setthment of the remaining differences between agland and this coun try with regard to Central Ame•ican affairs. The appoint ment will rake place early mat year, end possibly soon ,r. We have reason to believe th a t Si r Willi am G ore . 0 Iseley bas been selected for this important service. If so, the choice indicates a disposition en the part of 'he British Government to coneuet this d - licate and protracted nego elation to a peaceful and mutually satisfac'ory result. Sir William Oaseley commenced his dipl omat i c career as attache to the British Embassy at Wbshingt sone thirty years ago, when he married a daughter of the late G)v, rn Van Ness, of Vermont. He has ever since manifested a steady and intelligent interest in the affairs of this enentry, an' has written several pamphlets up in vari )us topo 3 Cor ;_ ne ted with its current politics. He has been engaged in diplomatic service, mainly in Brazil and the River Plate, where his action was in so little accordanc3 with the views of Lord Palmerston as to render it a little singular that he should n w be appointed to effiee by a Ministry of which that stet sman is Premier. Sir Wiliam is well known . to Prceidcn . Buchanan, and will enter upon this negotiation under circumstances of peculiar promise. It is understood that, if ,uccessrul in the negotiation here, he will proceed at once to Central Arnerfca. We trust the rumour of his appoi tment may prove correct.—New York, Times, October 29. THE FRIV:CII MINISTRY OF JUSTICE.—M. Abbatucci, Minister of Justice, lr.ving expired, hundreds are already soliciting end intriguing for the Mini. try he has left vacant, without dreaming of the heavy penalty ambition must pay to serve the present Emperor. Few frames can long support the cares and fatigues which result from the stunt orders of his Majesty, that every case or report shall be examined by the Minister whom it regards. The Etnrror does not spare himself, and he insists that those who erj•iy the honor and the advantage of governing the country shall perform their daty in a complete rnattror. M. Abbatucci is the fourth minister who has died in harness under the present. reign. M. Abbatucci wee in his sixty-fifth year, and up to she last fortnight enjol el robust health. An internal absce: i s which defied all the skill of the faculty, was the cause of his death. • The decessed belonged to one of the most illustrious families of Corsica, which he represented in the Chamber of Deputies, and also in the " Cousti tuante." H o contributedlargely by his influence to ensure the success of the Emperor in his election for the Pre idency, and on every occasion he displayed touching devotion to the name of Napoleon. The late Minister was rather distinguished by his working qualities and sound judgment than for any brilliant Oil ties, The funeral took place on Saturday with much ceremony.

The inquiry into the death of John Starkingq, the police constable, who was so brutally murdered on the 30th ult., near Stevenage, was resumed on Monday, before Mr. C. Tines, the cironer for the county of Herts. Mr. Barnes, Police-superintendent, was the first witness examined. and he stated that he apprehen led Carpenter on the 3rd of Nov., and hie attention was called to the shirt he had on, and he asked him to account for some stains that appeared on the left wristband, and which there seemed to have been some attempts to remove. The wristband appeared to have bean stiffened by something that had been placed upon it. and the prisoner said it was caused by the lotion he had been using fir his leg. He afterwards found a wicker basket in the prisoner's house, in which there were a few grains of wheat and barley ; and the prisoner's wife, in his presence, said, "There's no wheat there ; don't you think if there had been any wheat there, we should have got rid of it ?" He afterwards observed spots of blood on the ba kat, and he cut out that part of the basket, and handed it to Dr. Taylor. When he first found the basket, the wife of the prisoner said, " You cant make blo )d where there is no blood, can you ? ' When the prisoner was exatnieed before the magis trates, and witness stated that he had found blood on his clothes, the prisoner interfered and said, "It was not the blood of that man." On Friday last witness received possession of some pieces of smock frock from Inspector Hawkes. There ware mars of blood upon them. He had searched the prisoner's cottage before, and he could swear positively that there were no pieces of smock frock in the cottage upon the occasions when he made the search. Upon the left gaiter of the prisoner a button was missing. which appeared to have been dragged off, and a button had since been found near the spot where the struggle took place. Several butt ns were off the otter gaiter, and all the but tons at p-esent on the gaiters were odd ones. The witness then stated the measured distance from the prisoner's cot tage to the place where the murder had been committed, and also said that he found five freshly-pulled turnips from a field leading from Mr. Rimes' (the prisoner's master) farm, and in a pig-stye at the prisoner's house he saw some Swede turnips of a similar description to those which had been pulled up. Upon searching the prisoner's house he also found about a bushel and a half of barley in his bed-room. The portions of the frock that were found wore producei. The arms appeared to have been torn from the body, and small blood spots were distinctly visible. The clothes of the prisoner were then produced, and the cuts in them pointed out, and Mr. Smith, the surgeon, stated his opi❑ion that all these cuffs might have been produced by the k❑ife found on the prisoner, and that they corresponded with the blade. Toe surgeon also stated that he had no doubt that the spots on the smock frock were blood. David Carpenter, a boy about 17, the son of the prisoner, was then examined, and after some hesitation he admitted that the k❑ife that had been produced by the police belonged to his father. Inspector Hawkes deposed to finding the pieces of smock frock, with blood upon them, in a clapboard in the prisoner's house. William Segsae, a police constable, proved having found a button of a gaiter, which he produced, near the spot where the struggle took place Inspector Capron, of the Herts constabulary, deposed that on the 3rd of November, he conveyed the prisoner from Stevenage to Hitchen, and as they were going along, he observed to the prisoner, "It is an awful murder, and it is an awful thing for you to be charged with it." The pri soner replied, " You did not see me do it, nor nobody else ; they have got to find that out ; and if they find out I done it, I must bide the consequences, that's all." After the prisoner was at the station, witness observed some blood on a piece of stuff he had been using to bathe his leg, and he asked him how it came there, and he said it came from his nose, which always bled when he had a cold Wm Day, a labourer, proved that on the morning of the day on which the prisoner was take a into custody he called at his cottage, and asked him how his leg was, and he said it was a lade better. Witness then said it was a shock ing thing about the warder, and he' supposed they would try to bring him (Carpenter) in fcr it. The pri soner replied—' I darosay they'll have me up to-day, because there's been two doctors looking at me, but I am innocent, and if I am innocent they cannot hurt me." William Shepherd, the lad who was examined on the former occasion, was recalled, and he said that on the Saturday after Carpenter hurt his leg, Mrs. Carpe❑ter came to him in the morning, and said that he must not say any thing about Master Carpenter hurting his foot in the school, because if he did, they'd hang him and his father too. On the evening the accident took place his father also told him that if he said. anything about Carpenter's accident he would " pay him," meaning that he would thrash him. There being no further evidence to be laid before the jury, the coroner summed up the whole of the evidence with great clearness and precision. The jury, after deliberating for a short time, returned a verdict of " Wilful Marder " against Jeremiah Carpenter, and the coroner at once issued his warrant for his committal to take his trial for that offence at the ensuing spring assizes THE ATL A.NTIC TE GE G-RAPH CABLE. The North of Europe Steam Company's packet Leipsic, Captain Ricers, which has been employed in recovering the submerged cable, arrived at Plymouth on Monday, and proceeded to Keyham•yard. The operation was c menced by Mr. Bright, the engineer on the 22nd ultimo. The heavy inshore cable was under-run from the station at Valencia on a catamaran, formed of a timber framing bearing a saddle fixed between two long icon buoys ; this was towed by the steamer. At a distance of five miles, which was attained on the 31st of October, the gales having interfered with the work, the bearings were taken, and the wire was attached to three chain-cables, fitted with a buoy. at a short distance apart, for connection with the ocean line to be laid next spring, when operations Rill recommence On Thursday, the sth inst , after the wind had abated, the steamer went ten miles out, grappled the light cable, and commenced hauling in, with the aid of a small engine on deck, which was calculated, with the machinery attached, to draw about two miles per hour in fine weather, and a mile and a quarter whea there is much sea on. About 53 miles of the ocean wire—and the remainder of the inshore cable about five miles—were thus recovered At a quarter past 4 o'clock on Friday, the 6 , h inst., when a heavy swell and sea pre veiled, the wire parted. The bottom there was rocky, and it is not improbab'e that the wire, which is capable of bearing a strain of four tons, was broken by the uneven character of the ground ; the draft of the steamer making vary lit le way with the wind on her quarter would tend to bring a heavy strain upon the cable if it lay in a cleft. The weather was very rough and unsuitable for the work—the Atlantic swell being always heavy at this season ; and the recovery of the remainder must be postponed lineil next spring, when a small steamer will be sent to meet the • Agameranon, and to assist in making the splice with the shore end. It is very satisfactory to know tint the submerged wire bears no appearance of injury, and the whole of the recovered cable can he again used. There is ; of course, a little rust on the 12 wires which protect the inshore cable, bat on rubbing with the finger they become bright again; none of the gotta parcha coatings aro disturbed, and the tarring of the wires seam to have stood exceedingly well. In manufacturing the inshore cable an outer wire would occasionally break, when the prrt was lashed round with smaller wire ; these lashings are also undisturbed. The telegraphic cable in the Agamemnon is passing at the rate of about a mile per hour from her hold to the tanks It goes through a composition of tar, pitch, linseed oil, and beeswax, and is exiled in circles so compact as to prevent the admission of air. About 250 miles are landed, and there are a thousand yet nn ba)rd. In order to facilitate the departure of the Niagara for New York, her wire was discharged with greater rapidity, and a portion of it is now passing a second time, but more slowly, through the composition, to make its application more complete. An asphalted roof covers the tanks, which are securely caulked to insure the entire saturation of th e cable with the solution, which will effectually prevent any oxidation from setting in. The old powder magazine on the north side of the Keyham Decks is filled with the machinery, hawsers, buoys, lamps, and other stores appertaining to the enterprise.

Yesterday, several complaints were laid by the inspec tors of provisions, against tradesmen calling themselves I respectable—for, as Mr. S. Hohue, the presiding magis trate said, wilfully robbing the poor, and putting the money into their own pockets, and beyond that, endan gering the lives of the inhabitants, by promulgating disease, and causing death. The first case was against Samuel Walker, of St. James's -street, fishmonger, for exhibiting for ,ale a large quantity of putrid fish, perfectly u:.fit for human food. The ease having been clearly proved by Inspector Tyrrell, he was fined lOs and costs. There was a second charge against the same def ndant, for exhibiting for sale four rabbits, unfit for human food. This was proved by Inspector Lloyd, and a fine of 103 and costs was imposed. The defence was, that Mr. 1 Walker was unwell, and that the offence was committed by his servants. John Wilkinson, a butcher, of Bronte street, was also summoned far having sold a carcase of slunk mqtton stuffed, to make it appear equal to good meat, so as to increase its value about d. or ld. par lb. Thera was another case of the same nature proved against the defendant, in wuich he had exposed six carcases of mutton for silo in Trowbridge-street, and stated that they could have fount thirty similar cases, if they had sunt anned. The Bench expressed their regret, that men were so ingenious in trying to get a dishonest living, when by using the same skill in trying to gain an honest one, they would not have BD much trouble, and would stand higher in the estimation of the public. The defendant was fined 20s. and costs in each case, and cautioned as to the future; for if he was again summoned, he would be most severely punished, as they were determined to protect the poor against such imposition. COUNTY COURT-YESTERDAY. BEFORE J. K. BLAIR, RSQ , JUDGE. INTERESTING TO CAPTAINS AND STEWARDS.—ALEXA,NDRE v. NICIIOLSON —This was an action to recover £5 wages under the following circumstances :—The plaintiff; Johanna Alexandre, is a Frenchman, and in October last he was engaged by a shipping master of this p rt, named Nichols, to sail as steward, in the ship Amos Lawrence, from Liverpool to Calcutta and back ; the wages to be ,E 5 per month, and the services to commence immediately, although the ship had onlyjust arrived, and had not got into dock. It was also agreed, however, that should the vessel not suit, the plaintiff should be at liberty to leave her, and to charge for the time he was employed on board. The plaintiff accordingly went on board, and continued to dis charge the duties of steward while the vessel was discharg ing in the Queen's dock, which occupied twenty days. At the eLd of that time he told the captain that he should leave, as he thought the voyage to Calcutta too long a one, at the same time demanding a months' wages. For the defence it was alleged that the (sr gagement was at the usual rate of the wags of the port, £4 pe: month, and that the agreement was tor the whole voyage to Calcutta and back. It was also urged that the services of a steward were not of any value while the vessel was in dock, and that as the plaintiff had not signed the articles he had no claim. His Honour considered there was a second argument in the case, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £4. Mr. Goodere appeared for the plaintiff, and 111 r. Rime for the defendant. CHILD MURDER AT STAFFORD. SUICIDE OF AN ACCOMPLICE. On Friday, a young woman, named Benton, was committed by the Stafford Coroner, for concealing the birth of her new born child, at the house of a gentleman named Webb. Benton implicated the groom, Benbow, who, she alleged, was the father of the child. Benbow has not been married more than two mouths, his wife being a respectable young woman cf the neighboarhool. He was asked to hold the horse of the surgeon examined at the it.qaest ; bat it was ascertained that he had soon after given the horse into the charge of another servant, saying that he was going to his own house for his cat. Two or three hours having elapsed without his making his appearance, a tnesseager was sent to his house to make ince:irks for him, when his wife stated that he came in for his coat about two hours before, want upstairs, and then left the house, saying a stir was being made at his master's • about Ellen's child. Nothing further was seen or heard of him until Eundu morning, about nine o'clock, when a labouring man in the service of Mr. Sandy, had occasion to go into a field cf his master's near a plantation at Rowley, a'.out a qnarter of a mite from the town, nod on getting on:scrne rails round a hay rick, he observed a man's hat lying on the ground in the plantation. He immediately crossed the fence, and withia a yard of the hat, he saw the dead body of a min, partially covered with twig; and faded leaves. An alarm was given, and the body was shortly afterwards recognised as that o?' Benbo.v He was lying on his back, the tight arm bent over the body, and the left arm thrown straight out; both arms were firmly clenched, and contained grass and leaves, as if he had torn them from the earth in his death grasp. A seer was on the left cheek, ant the face preieuted a fLrid appearance. In his pekets ware his watch, some silver, and a few other articles ; and, in a paper, something acid, which leads to the supposition that his death was the result of poison. It is concluded that he destroyed him self almost immediately after he left his master's house. The body, which was removed to the police-station, awaits the coroner's inquisition. THE EARL OF CARLISLE ON REFORMATORY SCHOOLS. On Friday last, the Earl of Carlisle, the lord-lieutenant of Ireland, presided at a meeting, held in York, of the supporters of the Castle Howard Reformatory. Eis Excellency, in the course of his address, said ; The working of the institution, as far as our experience yet reaches, has been as satisfactory, sufficient, and successful as we could have ventured to hope. The material portion of the uudertaking—the brick and mortar portion—and the farming operations, have been got under wit! with very little comparative delay, and with every symptom of working efficiently. But there is one portion of any such experiment to which I mast look with more interest than to the material, or brick and mortar pertioa —I mean the moral, the human, the flesh and blood portion. (Applause.) The noble earl then complimented the superintendent of the school (the Rev. J. Fish). Among the boys who have already found an asylum in the establishment, half-a-dozen of them have already been convicted six or seven times. Now what does a a matter of mere east —what does the expense of such con victions entail upon the country ? I know calculations differ as to the strict average sum which can b e set down to each conviction ; but six or seven convictions cannot well have cost the country and the public less than £200; and after incurring this expense, when the lad comes out of prison, after his seventh conviction, what sort of lad, and what sort of character, do you think you have got ? Why, in the reformatory, at . a very mod era t e expense to the country, and a very trifling expense indeed to the county, you have at least—l cannot say you have the cer tainty, but you have the chance of making that lad a creditable and a u efal member of society. I say even the direct pecuniary gain is a great deal, bat the moral pin is above the price of pearls or of rubies. (Applause.) This reformato r y cause , with its pecuniary effects upon the public purse, with its social effects upon the security of our streets and dwellings, with its metaphysical workings on the human heart, there is hardly a class of sympathies, or a kind of disposition, which it might not vastly interest and excite. It might satisfy the wayward cravings of Rousseau, it might allure the rigid philosophy of Jeremy Bentham ; 'better than either, it might guide the lowly path of the humble disciple of the gospel. (Applause.) And as, at the beginning of the brief remarks which I have made, I alluded to the locality is which the Castle Howard Re formatory is placed, I will mention, in bringing my observations to a conclusion, that its position there, in my mind, has materially added to the attractions of a resi dence not deficient in them, either in point of nature or of art; and that this reformatory, as it now iises there, with its quiet white walls, and modest homestead islanded in woods, seems to me to have imparted an ornament tomy groves and glades with which even ihe graceful and fan ciful genius of Rembrandt has not previously invested them.

At LEWIS & rOMPANY'S, Ranelagh.street. BOYS are CLO J UID from the Ages of Six to Twenty yeam, THE CAREER OF ON ADVENTURER. At the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on Monday, before Mr. Commissioner Phillips, the case of Woolf Levy, alias Montefiore, was brought forward. The insolvent, who figured at the Mansion-house on several occasions when charged with alleged forgeries on the Cape of Good Hope Bank, when he passed as "Montefiore,' appeared from the Queen's Prison, on his application to be discharged under the act. Mr. Dowse, with whom was Mr. Macrae, appeared to oppose for Messrs. Wilson and Ritchie, mer chants at Colombo. also for Mr. Benson, tobacconist, of Oxfurd-street, and for the Cap 3of Good Hope Bank. Mr Sargeod supported the application for discharge. The schedule filed by the insolvent showed that he had been known as " Montefiore," " Langfeldt," and " Lyon." He had resided, although only 30 years of age, in many parts of the world. He owed £6 206 4s. 2d., and had £156 owing to him. He had twenty-six creditors, and seven debtors. The insolvency was attributed to the bill of exchange held by Messrs. Wilson and Ritchie having been dishonoured, and the proceelings taken against him at the Cape of Good Hope. He alleged that he had sus tained a loss on the bill of 4'2 600. The career of the insolvent, as disclosed by his own examination, presented some remereable features. He said his real name was " Woolf Levy," which he had from his birth, in 1827, until ha parted with it in 1853, in which year he left England. His present debts commenced from February, 1854. He was born and educated in the coun try. In 1816 he first left England, and remained in Australia two years, where he was in business in his own name of Woolf Levy. He was at Sydney, and went to Calcutta with about thirty horses as a speculation. He left Calcutta at the end of 1849, and was there as Woolf Levy. He then came to England, which he reached in 1850, and after a sojourn of four months, he went to the United States of America. He went to New York, whore he resided a few months, and travelled through the entire Union. He had a partner. They dealt in various things which they' bought at New York, and sold in the western parts. They dealt in " Yankee curiosities " which included " wooden nutmegs." The partnership lasted a couple of years. He had stayed at Saint Louis. At that time, which was in 1853, he turned his attention to railways. He ha 1 some money which he had gained by speculation to about £l.OOO. He then used the name of " M.ontefio e," which was suggested to him by a gentle man of the same name, as he intended to go to California. He went to California as Montefiore," and speculated in mining shares. He went to Panama. where ho thought of forming a company, but did not. Whilst there he con tracted a debt with Messrs. Cova, which now appeared in the schedule. He went from hat place to San Francisco where he stayed some months, speculating in land and mining shares. He drew a bill on Sir Moses Montefiore for the accommodation of a person named Baphael. He left San Francisco in July or August, 1854, when he went to Manilla, on his way to Calcutta, having made about £3,290 from speculation, which money he had in a draft at San Francisco; Mr. Commissioner Phillips referred to the balance-sheet to show the style in which the insolvent had been living. He had been to all parts of the world, and in two years the travelling expenses were alone £1,600. Mr. Sargeod was not surprised, remembering what had been said of travelline in California. The ins Ivent went on to say he had £2 700 which he turned into a draft for £2,600, which he obtained of a banker named King, which draft purported to be drawn by Burgoyne & Co., on B wring Brothers, of London. From Manilla he went to Hong Kmg in the name of Montefiore, where he contracted a debt to pay his expenses at Manilla, which were large. He afterwards went to Ceylon, staying at Point de Galls, Colombo. The steamer broke down. He had some jewels at the time. He came to England at the commencement of 1855, with £7OO or £BOO, having had about £2,00) at Colombo. Before he reached England he went to Egypt and Italy, and also to Cairo and Alexandria. He was at Florence with about £1,200, and whilst there made the acquaintance of a Mr Brown, who wanted him to have £l,OOO of him, and after being pressed ha took £5OO. (A laugh) The money was spent in travelling about. Wnen ho came to England in 1855, he went to Newcastle, to look after a vessel, and there he assumed the name of Langf.ll , , which was the name of an hotel acquaintance, and he adopted it because he did not want to be arrested. He went to Bristol and bought a schooner, named Treasurer, for .600, which he had repaired, and the parties held the same. He obtained another vessel, the Chesterfield, of Mr. Hewitt, which he sold. He was at Bristol about three months, and contracted some debts. He then came to London, and -put up at the Clarendon Hotel, in Bond-street, He had a carriage and pair of horses, with a " tiger." H had obtained cigars of Mr. Benson, tobacconist, of Oxford -street, to £52, and stationery from Mr. Rruleiques, of Piccylilly, to £35, for which h e now owed. He admitted that the coat of arms on the paper and envelopes produced had been performed by that creditor. and no little amusement was affor.led by dr. Commissioner Phillips trying to decipher the motto and the crest, which latter consisted of two lions and a horse. The motto was " Auro est non omnes," which the learned Commissioner said, meant " Every one is not in cash," an observation which caused a peal of laughter. He went to Edinburgh, and afterwards sailed to the Cape of Good Hope. The bank there had cashed his cheques to £798. They had him in custody from October. 1855, to October, 1856, when he was discharged by the advice of the Attorney-General, and he came to England, where he arrived in January. 1857, and had since then been in prison. A point arose as to the authority of Messrs. Wilson and Ritchie to oppose, but it was established, and in the course of the case there was a discussion as to the banks opposing, but the opposition went on. Mr. Beason, to bacconist, of Oxford -street, described the manner in which the insolvent got into his debt. lie appeared in equipage like a prince, and threw down a 45 note, and could not wait for the change. He afterwards gave crders to the amount of £52. for which he now owes. Mr. Dowse asked for an adjournment to communicate with Colombo. The petition was filed in May. and the schedule in Oct , so that there had not been sufficient fime. Mr. Conetnie siouer Pnillips held that the parties knew he went to prison in January, and might have communicated with Colombo. Mr. Dowse objected that there was no evidence as to £650 of jewels and precious stones in the possession of Mr. Devtoreux, of Cowes. The insolvent wag questioned oa the subject. He said he pee uo that pro perty for Isis creditors. Mr. Commissioner Pnillips said the same evidence as in an ordinary case must ba given. Mr. Sargood alleged that the insolvent had not a shillieig, and could not bring Mr. Devereux from the country. Mr. Dowse objected to the balance sheet. Mr. Commis sioner Phillips said they certainly did contain extraordinary items. Ho said the insolvent had been a long time in prison. The case, after some farther discussion, ended by being adjourned to Saturday, the opposing parties pro- I mising to procure the attendance of Mr. Devereux.

ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER ON WRSTMINSIE7t- BBIDOR. —On Sunday morning no little sensation was created in the neighhourhoi i of Lambeth and Westminster in consequence of a repot that a foreign gentleman had been waylaid on Westminster-bridge, twice stabbed in the lower part of his s'ornach, and afterwards robbed of between £lB and £l9, and that he was lying is the West minster Thspital without hopes of recove-v. Upon the reporter making inuiries, it was ascertained that between the hours of fear and five o'clock in the morning, P.diee-sergeant Budd, of the L division, while on duty in the Belvidere-ro td, Lambeth, noticed a Frenchman staggering along the road with his hands pressed upon his stomach, and apparently in the act of falling. The officer. thinking that he was inebriated, ran to his assistance, when the man pointed to his stomach, and the sergeant saw that his clothes were punctured in two places, and that blood was cipion3l3, flawing from each hole. lie at once took the w( ulded man to a sargeoa's, and afterwards to the Wes - us nser Hosaital, whets it was found that he hid two stabs over half an inch in depth cn the lower part of his stnna - ]ch. and upon ingairiea being made as to how they were inflicted he sta Cl shit as h 3 was passing along Trafalgar-square he was accosted by a man to whom he paid no attention, but that the same persirn conieued to folow him until ha got to the foot of the bridg', when the fellow gave him two violeet blows on the stomach which to k hes brealth away, and then robbed him of between £lB and £l9. At first he was not aware that he had been stabbed, but noon walking away felt exhausted, arid titers noticed the blood flowing from the punctured wer;sl4s. Everythinghas been don fo r th e man, and the hemorrhage has been stopped by the medical officers of the hospital, and there seems tvery chance of his recovery. Mr. Superintendent Walker and Sergeant Saunders of the detective force have been actively engaged in inquiring into the c -s•, and from the fact of a knife being found in the man's pocket, the point fitting the hales in the dress, and Isis prevaricating is his statements as to the manner in which he Was stabbed, these officers are of opinion that ha stabbed himself with the knife found in hi. 3 possession.
