TRIAL Or MADAN. Hieffer..7---the seciond trial ef
Bush Rachel Levenson. calling herself Madame Rachel.
on the charge of unlawfully obtaining by false and
fraudulent pretences from Mrs. Mary Tucker Borrodaile
large sums of money and valuable securities, with the
Intent to cheat and defraud her of the name, commenced
on Monday, at the Central Criminal Court. The fable
pretense allegeal was that the prisoner waa to pro-
cure for Mrs. Borrodsile marriage with Lord Ilanel•gb.
It will be remembered that the prieoner was tried at the
last Session, when the jury were unable to agree upon •
verdict. The present ease occupied the court
during the whole of the week. to Tuesday and Wed.nesiley Mrs. Borrodaile was i zsmined and cross-
examined at great length. On Thursday Lord Ranleigh,
the two daughters of the prisoner, and other witnesses,
were examined. The daughters were also crone.
examinee at some length as to the cosmetics sold in the
prisoner's shop, where they iiiinitteit that they were
the chief assinta tits, their mother hung un-
able to write. The eldest daughter declared
bee belief that the "Jordan water," which
they sold for 10 and 20 gs. a bottle, was "consigned to
them by an agent," but she declined to state his name,
OD the ground that it was a "professional secret." She
also admitted that they sold, at two guineas • bottle, a
" ,Magnetie Dew," for removing wrinkles, "distilled from
• magnetic rock in the Desert of Sahara," and various
soaps bearing royal names at the same price. She atom
stated that at the commencement of the season of 1847
her mother took an opera box on the pit tier for 400
guineas. Lord Hauringh repeated his evidence as to the
entire groundlessness of the assertion that he had any
intention if marrying Mrs. Borrodaile. Mr. D. Seymour
&dressed the jury for the prisoner. His argument was
that there was undoubtedly • " in the case
though he had not been produced, and that the corres-
poodence was genuine and not a forgery. In • quarter
of an hour, the jury gave a verdict of guilty. Mr.
Coinmissioner Kerr said the offence was es:omitted
under aggravated circumstances. She had deprived this
foolish misguided woman of everything she possessed
In the world except the pension to which she was
entitled as the widow of an Indian officer, and when
she was reduced to actual poverty she was the first
person to mercilessly shut her up in prison. He felt
that he should not be doing his duty if he did not pass
upon her the full nentence of the law, which was that
she be kept in penal servitude for the spare of five
years. The prisoner fainted when the sentence was
pronounced, and was carried insensible out of the dock.

from their anchorages by the receding sea, and

CALL 40. Thursday, Aisienst 13, 1868.—Th11 evening,
at about five o'clock, the three most terrible and alarm-

themselves, with such violence that persons could
Lordly keep their feet, end an instantaneous rush
was made for the street. Ht is the sight

themselves, and falling in deep swoons full length on
