THE POLICE COURTS.
(ma DAY.)

EXTRAORDINARY DISAPPEARANCE.
A lady, reading at No.ll, Gillingham-terrace, Vauxhall- '
bridge-road, came to the court this morning, and requested
to speak to the magistrate upon an occurrence of a mat ex-
traordinary and distressing description.
Applicant said that being in want of a domestic servant a
few months ago, she obtained a young *omen named Mary
Tidy from the country, who remained with her until Sun-
day week, when she suddenly disappeared.
Yr. Paynter naked under what circumstances.
Applicant replied under circumstances which strongly lad
to the belief that she had been waylaid, or entrapped in
some way.
Mr. Paynter desired to know the particular circumstances.
Applicant observed that it had been the young woman's
habit togo to the Holy Trinity Church, Beesborough-gardens,
on Sunday evenings, and she se regularly returned imme-
diately after the conclusion of divine service. She left
home on Sunday evening to go there as usual, but never
returned. Applicant waited up for her hour after hour,
wondering what bad become of her, and at length retired to
rest, much alarmed at her eontinued absence.
Mr. Paynter inquired whether she had any friends.
Applicant replied that she bad.
Mr. Poynter asked if she had seen them upon the subject.
Applicant said she had immediately communicated with
them at Croydon, where they resided, and they were ea
much surprised at the young woman's absence as herself,
and up to this day had heard no tidings of her ; they were
much dist:weed in mind and knew not what to do.
Mr. Paynter inquired whether the girl was known to have
formed any intimacies in London.
Applicant said she did not think for a moment that she
had. She was a vary quiet and reserved girl, who had no
acquaintances whatever in London, and it was quite clear
that she could have had no notion of leaving her home at
the time she went out to church. She had nothing what-
ever with her, and had no money in her possession.
Mr. Bunter said he could not help the applicant; bad she
given any information to the police respecting the girl's dis-
appearance?
Applicant replied that she had, and they bad promised Lo
use every exertion in their power. She was only 18 years of
age and was a girl of rather prepossessing appearance. She
had never been in London 'before she entered applicant's
service.
Mr. Punter regretted he could not assist her.

GRAND REVIZW AT WOOLWICH BEFORE THE
JAPANZSZ ANRAssAtooss.—(Tms Day.)—This morning the
Japanese Ambassadors and suite proceeded from their hotel
in Brook-street, to Woolwich, arriving there soon after 10
o'clock. They were received at the Arsenal station by the
authorities, from thence proceeded to the Royal Ar-
senal, and viewed the whole of the departments ; from
thence proceeded to Woolwich-common to witness • review mi
of the troops in garrison by his Royal Highness the Duke la
of Cambridge.
THE THUNDERSTORM OF LAST ND:MT.—The thun-
derstorm that broke over the metropolis last evening, be- at
tween seven and eight o'clock, and continued until nearly MI
two o'clock this morning, was disastrous in its effects. At
half-past nine o'clock the rain fell in sheets, inuodat- LW,
Mg the carriage roads and washing off the surface of the ;07
macadamised reeds. The growing mops in market gardens 100
and young shnibs in nurseries were also injured. A man ioo
was knocked down by the electric fluid is the Holloway- too
road, and a team of two horses were struck by the same
flash at the bottom of Highgate-hill, and felled to the
ground, where they lay trembling for a considerable time. as
The rain ceased shortly after ten o'clock, but lightning con-
tinned until nearly daylight.
THE CATASTROPHE ON THE NORTH BRITISH 110
RAILWAY.—We are glad to state that up to the time of the
starting of the last train from Melrose last night, the three i.e
surviving sufferers most seriously injured flora the fearful is.
railway accident on Saturday evening were doing well. Mr. re.
Hunter, of the Kelso Academy, and Mr. Sherriff, of Deem, RA
are still lying at the waiting r3oms at Melrose Station, OD
assiduously attended to by their own and by other friends, sa
and nothing has been omitted which could in the least de-
gree tend to mitigate their sufferings. Both of these gen- le
tlemen, at the time of our writing, have recovered their SO
consciousness, and Mr. Hunter is so well as to have been SO
yesterday found by his medical attendants (Drs. Brown • •
and James) reading the account of the accident as re- it
ported in the Scotsman. Mr. Sherriff is also now pro- s,

moved. The young man Easton, at Newtown, is also 10
recovering, but it is believed that his internal injuries
are of a more serious nature then was at first -
known, and it may be some time before be can be removed. Ifs
The other parties injured were all going on favourably 10•1
up to last night. In reference to a report which ap- 10./
our own and other Edinburgh papers yerter-
Llr,ed in
that the Rev. Mr. Blair, of Oidathieh, was 7.1
amongst the wounded, and was conveyed to Kelso, we gm
are requested to state that the rev. gentleman whose name *1
was thus mixed up in the reports was not the Rev. Robert
Blair, et the Weal U. P. Church there, but a probationer of Riel
the United Presbyterian Church of the seine name, who
had been officiating at Oalashiela for the Rev. Mr. A. Oliver,
of the East U. P. Church, the day being the preparation au
Saturday before the half-yearly communion. Mr. Blair 01.1
