MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before the Assistant-Judge.)
James Brian, 19, was indicted for stealing • watch, the
property of Harry Luke., from his person.
This was a highway robbery oommutted under aggravated
circumstances, and attended with great !motility. The
prosecutor La German sailor, and, as • means of protection
to himself and his property &trims hie stay in England, he
lodged at the Sailors Home in Wells-street. On the 17th of
February, between 5 and 6 in the evening, be was walking
with a young woman, named Julia Ana Johnson, in Back
Church-lase, when the prisoner made • sodden rush at him,
snatched his watch, which he broke from the guard-obtain,
end made off with it. The girl who was with the prosecutor
Bled out for the assistance of the polies, and nn after the
prisoner. She had not proceeded many yards wises some
man, who no doubt was an emaciate of the primmer, put
out his foot'and threw her down, and the prisoner for the
tints made his escape. As soon as the girl could reoover
herself she went to the police station sod gave
information of the robbery, end in casesquesee
of the description she had gives, the prisoner
was soon afterwards taken into custody, sad barium used
some horrible language said he would make Julia Ann re-
pent for what she had dom. The girl west • second time
to the station-house and gave information against the Fri.
toner, stating that shelled known him about the Highway
before, and that she was sure be was the man who took
the watch. Oa her return from the station-house she was
accosted by three moo, and one of them beat her severely
sad threw her down, while soother kicked her on the head
with great violence whilst she was on the ground, and she
suffered great pais. Bbe was so alarmed that she was only
induced to go to the police- court to give evidence as a sum-
mons being served upon her.
The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery, and
made an attack on the character of the witness Jobasoa,
asserting that she was the emaciate of • ticket-of-leave man,
which she indignantly denied.
The jury returned • verdict of Guilty.
The Assistant4ndge said the primmer was • very dan-
gerous person to be at large, for be appeared to be accom-
panied by ruffians who threw the young woman down and
elm treated her with great brutality. The mutes:roe of the
court upon him was that be be kept in penal servitude for
four years. As regarded the young woman Johnsen she had
behaved very well, and he should order her to receive •
reward of a sovereign, of course in ;Wilkic to the ordinary
expellees.

would grow. This was thought to be a design to provide
for campaigniog purposes.
Business in the colony was improving, provisions were
very cheap.

TEE Char OF TH2 PAMFERO.-02 Tuesday, in

sowed au interlocutor on the Pamper*, the vessel which
was mired on the Clyde on the information to the effect
that it was isteeded to be fitted out and employed is the
WWI), of the Confederate SUM* of America. The de-
fenders pleaded that the information was bad in law, and
called upon Lord Ormidale to decide, before sondes the
case to a jury for trial, as to the relevancy of the various
coupe in the information. Lord Ormidale in his inter-
locutor appoints the cam to be tried by a jury
cis Tuesday, the sth of April, end in a note appended
to the interlocutor lays :—" It appears to the
Lord Ordinary that it is uneecessery and isexpe-
dient in this owe to dispose of any questions of
law and relevancy baton trial, sad accordingly he btu'
followed the course which was adopted in the similar case
of the Alexandra in England. So far se the Lord Ordinary
ma judge at present the defenders will sot be precluded,
merely by the or being appointed to be tried, from after-
wards beanie, themselves from say plea in law and rele-
vancy which n in itself well founded, but as the Lord Ordi-
nary cannot prejudge any matter whatever, so he ma give
so assurrese os the subject. The Lord Ordinary is set to
be nederstood as bolding that oases may sot occur where it
would be proper, ad well as competest, to dispose of cam of
law and relevancy before trial, although it must always be
desirable to avoid, where it can be doe* with • doe=
to the interest of the poetise sad the reds of
a double coos of lieptica with the attendance of apses
sad delay. Is regard to the expediency in the present cam
is not disposing of the questions of law and relevancy which
have been raised by the defenders, there can be little doubt.
Aoooediog to the defenders' owe showing, the informatics
is not wholly irrelevant ; sad even se regards them parts of
it to which the defenders *beanies, as stated to the Lard
Ordinary, apply, at least some of them may be ideated by
the evidence at the trial. The &deaden' arguments as
relevancy may ponnbly also be superseded by the melee
which the case may take at the trio/. Till, then, the whole
facts and circumstances of the owe have been fully disclosed
at the trial, it would be wale, if not inipseeihle, to decide
hew far the information is or is not maintainable under the
statute on which it is laid."

waTmINSTER.

A respectable looking man wliefted the magistrate's
advice sod amistance coder the following circumstances.
Applicant said be bad been s private to the Lead Trans
port Corp, sad was entitled to 3/. 12a. prize money.
He had applied that day at Chelsea College, and had pro-
duced the following certificate :
' Norwood .Tuoctios August 13, 1864.

" I certify that the bearer, John Cuthbert, 373 E division
Land Transport Corp., sailed with the expeditioa to Kutch
and Yaoikale, and landed at Limbach Houton, on the
24th of May, 1856, sad was persist at the capture of the
above places.—G. FILLAST, Sergeant."
He bad also his attestation and discharge paper with him,
but was refused payment, although many others, one of
w►om was low present, had obtained their prize money with
precisely similar certificates.
Mr. Arnold inquired the ground of refusal.
Applicant said that he was informed at Chelsea College
that they refused to pay any more persons utiles the cer-
tificate was signed by a commirsioned officer.
Mr. Arnold asked why he did Dot amply with the re-
quirement.
Applicatt informed the magistrate that be was enable to
do so, as he did Dot know where to fled any officer who then
served in the Transport Corps. He thought it exceedingly
hard that after waiting so many years for their prize money,
men who had served should have any difficulty thrown in
their war of obtaining it.
Mr. Arnold said that of course applicant and others who
had a claim must comply with the regulations laid down. If
they were not satisfied with the certificate of a non-com-
misaiooed officer, and required more, it must be procured.
He thought there would be oo difficulty, as the applicant
might inquire at Chelsea Hospital the name of a com-
missioned officer to whom be could refer.

Applicant said bis complaint was that be had made that
inqnny at Chelan College, with a view of complying with
the regulations. but hind been told by the clerks there that
it was Dot their business to give the required information.
so that be and others were abeolutely denied the memo of
obtainiag the prize money, to which they were entitled.
A railwayefiicia/ stool forward and said he had served
in the same corps, and with a precisely similar certificate to
that produeed bad been paid his money, as stated by the
applicant.
Applicant said be was is a respectable situation in the
reentry, and bad travelled to London to make his present
deemed. not thinking that when he produced hie paper it
would be refused.

Mr. Aro*ld said be was unable to assist the applicant
excepting by his advice. He wo•M recommend bim to see
some penon higher in authority at Chelsea Hospital than
those to whom he had made his previous application, who
would probably give him the informatics required. .

DENMARK AND GERMANY.

The Times correspondent at Vienna, wilting on
August 9, says :
"The Danish question is for the moment at a stand-
still, K von Quaade not having yet received from
Copenhagen the necessary powers for beginning
negotiations for peace, on the basis of the prelimi-
naries signed here on the Ist inst. It is very gene-
rally believed that the preliminaries of peace will
not be valid until they have been ratified by the
Danish government, but such is not the case. K
von Quaade and Colonel von Kauffmann were fully
empowered to treat with the representatives of the
great German powers, and to enter into bind-
ing engagements with them, but they were so very
cautious that they would not sign the preliminaries
of peace until they had received from their govern-
ment special and positive instructions so to do.
Though there is no good reason why peace should
not speedily be concluded between the German
powers and Denmark, the Danish Plenipotentiaries
have left Munch's Hotel and taken private apart-
ments, thereby showing that they expect their
sojourn here to be a prolonged one."

WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday, at Worship-street Police-court, just previous
to the close of business, a gentleman, whose name did not
publicly transpire, accompanied by two others, and a very
respectably dressed female, entered the court and took seem
in that portion of it appointed for the solicitors. The first
person alluded to held some papers which, when an oppor.
unity occurred, be handed across the table to Mr. Cuthbert
Ellison. the sitting magistrate, at the MIMI time stating
them to be declarations of an important character, which
he had to request his worship to peruse and alga.
Mr. Edison read them atteotively, afterwards remarking
that he had very strong doubts indeed as to the propriety
of admitting such statemetits as were contained in the
documents he held ; he kroidd, however, sign them, and
the matter might be received for what it was worth.
The gentleman observed that be required no more. The
public very well knew that if the staten,enta were false
those persons making them were liable to the penalties of
perjury. It was necessary that the declarations should be
signed. and immediately, as he had to forward them to Sir
George Grey early on the following morning. These are
the statements in question
"1, Andre Maness, Baron de Cumin, of the Rue Riche-
lieu, Paris, empire of France, gentleman, solemnly and sin.

both sides before forming an opinion. At present
we believe not a line has been published in this
country from any officer or friend of the Govern-
ment of the United States with reference to the
proceedings, either of the Captain of the Wa-
chumetts or of Consul WlLsorr, end of course there
has not been time to learn bow they are regarded
at Washington. The accounts that have appeared
in the English press are almost exclusively
of Confederate origin, and leave traces
of the natural feelings of their authors.
If they are substantially true, the Captain of the
Wachuaetts has done his government more injury
than it was in the power of the whole Confederate
navy to do, by committing a lawless outrage for
which it will have to give satisfaction. The rules
of maritime law as to the rights of neutrals are
too plain, and the interests of all maritime powers
in maintaining them too evident, to admit of any
controversy as soon as the facts have been ascer-
tained, nor is there any doubt of the language
which every English journalist will hold on the
subject.

In China everything at the latest dates—Sept.
