Tel Mal SHIP SCIPPOILD LOmi or T.in.—A
calamity of • mmit painful character is believed to have
or:marred, by which the engineering st.ff of the well.
known "cigar ship," called the Rom Winans, are
suppo•ed to have met with an ontimely end. The farts
are these. After spending the Christmas festivities at
Greenwich, a party of six persons left by the New
Cross trsin and proeeeded to Northfiest, where they
must have left in &small host, Nimilsr toe man-oliwars-
man's dingy, to proceed to the cigar ship, which was
within five minutes' pull of the shore. The boat's
company consisted of Mr. Thomas Holliday, the chief
engineer of the Ross Winans, and his eMi-iers, via.
Messrs Wieser, Earl, Plnnea, Rates, End Coleman.
There were also in the boat the son of the commander of
the cigar ship and two boatmen who were rowing. Not '
one of them nine people reached the ship. Tbe
boat was found, keel upwards, nest the basal,, and
closely adj scent • naval cap, belonging eviden'ly to one
of the unfortunate gentlemen, was discovered lying in
the direction of the mooring, of the cigar shin. Mr.
Holliday,who had attained a great reputation ea a marine
engineer, was in poaseasion of a gold watch and 111 large
sum of :nosey. The anxiety of the friends and relatives
in this district is most intense.

A STRANG! POLICI CAII.—At the Thames Polio,
court, on Friday, a respectable looking man, who gave
the come of John Richardson, and who stated that he
mime into court merely for the purpnee of pawing away
60 hoar in list-fling to the proceedings, we. suddenly
forced into the dock by • police-constable named John
Ready, No. 3411 IC, and charged with tieing a Thomas
Clark, whims Fe (the constable) had arrentsei the night
Won* for tieing drunk end mlseonductine himself, end
who bad been let out on bail. In vain did the surprised
accused declare his innocence, and maintain that he...

length of time was evidence prefaced showing that the
man arrested on the night in question did not at all
resemble the man in the dock. Nnt•ith.tansling the
assurance of his inspector to the centraey, the bold and
obstin•te polite-constable Ready persisted in maintain-
ing that the man in the dock was the person be had
arrested in the Bret instants. After the unneemeary
Ices of a good deal of time, the eyes of the constable
wen opened to the fact that he had made • mistake.
Mr. Partridge administered to the erring constable a
very proper reproof; but the only aatidaction the victim
of this singular blunder got was an apology from the
member of the "force" who committed it.

LTICCH LAW MP %ileum—The South Shields Market.
place .111 on Saturday st'nnight the scene of great excite•
men( and norriari•ua arising out of the
following circumstances :—A woman bought some plates
fount a crockery dealer, to whom she gave a sovereign by
mistake in the dark fore shilling. She did not discover
hue lost until she had left the stall and made a parehaae
at • grocer's shop, when she made it her immediate
businesa to go back and demand her change. The
crockery dealer, however, on being spoken to about the
nii-take, denied that her customer hod given bet
sovereign, and said that she had not such a coin in
her pocket. Ills woman, however pursisted that
had the sovereign among noise silver in her parte
when she first oent to the stall, but the crnkery vendor
as atrongly denied that she h•d received anything more
than a shilling. Tha contention grew more boisterous,
and in a ,tort ttrxe a crowd collected :wind the
atoll. Finding that there was no other chance of
recovering the sovereign, the police were called
into requisition, but all their efforts at pertus-ion
were of no *wail. The poor woman weeping at
the side of the stall roused the ayrnpathies of the
spectators, who by thin time had swelled to • at. at mob.
Notwithstanding their booting and taunts the crockery
seller allowed no signs of yielding. and the result was a
regular onslaught on the stall. Plates, &she., poem, and
uleueription of crockery were smash. ii, not • single
article tuning saved. The policemen interfered. bat were
att rly bellieso to restoreorder.beingcarried &bon: by the
surging id the crowd as if they were children. An attack
wag next made upon • clieseannonger and ham dealer's
stall, which it was discovered belonged to the mother of
the crockery vendor. The work of destruction, how-
ever, was no', co toted,, hat hams anti elmetue were flung
into the air, and hurled at each other as if they lied
been footballs. So eager were the crowd for revenge,

The Irish Tithes gives prominent publie;ty to the follow•
ing txtraordinsry story : " Mr. kforoney, • very
reepectable citizen, ht. resided for many years at his
establishment. No. 26, Essex-quay. In this establish-
ment he murk. on hie trade, and there his family, with
one exception, live. lie has another house. Nis. 6. on
the rice quay, managed by his daughter, sg.d n;neteen
years. In the upper part of the latter house lodged •
respectable family, named Farrell, consisting of a young
man, his neither, and his sister. It appears that on one
or two ocensious recently attempt. had been made to
break open the door of the house, and the reaidents
were naturally alarmed. On the 30th of November 1.4
between two and three o'clock in the morning, • noise

FarrelL She &wakened her brother, with whom alie
went down and examined the lower portion at eh, house
Finding no cause for the noise there. Mr. Farrell opened
the hall door, and passed round by the skm.. entry
to the front of the home to discover the origin of
the noise. Miss Ferrell, who had nothing on her
hut Ler nightdress, remained in the hell. It •ppeare
that the moment Mr. Farrell reached the street he was
wised by two police men, named respectively Dempsey,
146 A. and Moore. 152 A. Miss Farrell hearing hint
expesrulatine, went to ascertain what had happened.
and MIA instantly seized. Mr. Farrell, had mmuditii
le-en released, and had returned into the house, believing
that his sister WWI following him. Their mother, how-
ever, looking out of a window, saw her daughter dragged
off in her nightdress by the two policemen, and pertly
dressieg herself as rapidly swain could, took home clothes
for her d slighter. and, secompsnied by her eon, hastened
I after t eim to the police etation in Ohaneery-lane, on
her wag milling at No. 26 on the mime quay, where
her landlady, Mrs. Moroney, lived, who was •till
up, attending on two sick children. Mrs. Moron/
advised Mrs. Farrell to hasten on with her daughter s
clothes, while she amompanield by Mr. Farrell, her own
drughter, and her servant ma-d, followed to explain what
she imprimis,' to be a mistake in the arrest of Mi..
Farrell. As they were proceeding op Flehamble-street,
on their way to Chancery.l•ne, they met two policemen
of whom Mrs. tforoney inquired whether they were 'he
two who had taken Miss Farrell from Eseex-quay?
They only replied by an imperilment answer, and in
Mrs. Ilornney asking how they dared to address the
wife of • respectable citizen in such language, one of
them knocked her into the gutter. When the other
members of the party interfered in her behalf they
were all arrested ard carried off, and locked up in the
same eell with Miss Farrell. Who they had been
rinearcerated nearly an hour, the poliaeseergeant in
clime* entered the cell ant intimated that he would

made by the two fellows against Mi.. Farrell,
was 'cursing and shouting in the streets.' That

young lady, the wife of Ernest von Tefobseberg (the

room with her husband, intending to return home.
Whilst creasing the ball-room, where • brilliant walls

turn round the room. The temptation was too great to
be resisted ; so, ooneviing her burnous to her husband
she joined the dancers, and was whirled off with great

though struck with a thunderbolt, dead. They raised
her from the ground gently, and serried her into

diately after his rash deed he was seised with remorse,
and to the functionsrirs who had him in custody he
has repeatedly expressed a hope of being speedily

sensation, because it is still shrouded in mystery. The
wife of a painter in redneed circumstance., and addicted

Tau FRENCH IN Fannin Seta.— Ile Aforming
Herald remarks that from time to time the English
noble has been perplexed by information that the
French have hen victorious or defeated in certain
countries of Eastern Asia. They have been campaigning
for several rears on the coast, and their latest exploit is
announced on an unsuormsful attempt in Corea. That
region, to the fealty of which both the empires of China
and of Japan I.y claim, is little known to the rest of
the world ; but Franco ha• apparently resolved upon
creating for herself • maritime dominion in the far East,
a tort of Asiatic Algeria ; and even the Corean Archi-
pelago might g. far to the serve her purr me. The
lestteloal Fast belongs to es. No French occupation of

monarch there is hostile to Christians of every denocce
'nation ; that be tortures and samminates their miniaters;
and that he and hi. allies, including the clumsy tyrant
of Corea, have felt the force. of French retributive
justice. flow does all this affect ourselves? Not in
