MIDDLESEX SESSION&

(Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.)

Hagar Barrett, 22, a good-looking young woman, was
indicted for stealing three diamond studs and other arti-
cles, value 821 . , the property of Nowrogie Doo'alhoy, a
Parsee, in the dwelling-house of Laincelet Walton.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. F. H. Lewis appeared for the prosecution ; the pri-
soner was undefended. Mr. Montague Williams watched
the case on behalf of Mr. Van Praagh, who purchased the
diamonds from the prisoner.
The facts of the caw were these. The prosecutor, a
Parsee, lived in the house of a Mr. Walton, Fairfield-
lodge, Tottenham, where the prisoner was employed as a
domestic servant, but was dismissed. The evening sbe
left the diamond studs and a gold watch locket were
missed, and suspicion fell upon the prisoner, who was at
length traced to lodgings in Maida-vale, and when appre-
hended she at once stated that she had telen the property
in question, and had sold it to Memo. Gardner and Van
Praagh, diamond merchants, of Oxford-street ; that she
had sold the diamond studs, that cost 601., for 131. 10s.,
and a locket watch, that wet 191., for 51. She added that
, she took the brilliants from the settings, and threw the
I settings into the Serpentine, and that she was sorry she
did not throw herself into it at the same time.

Lawrence Van Preagh was then called.
The Assistant-Judge—What are you?
Witness—l am • diamond merchant and jeweller,
of 119, Oxford-street.
The Assistant-Judge—Did you buy the diamonds of this
young woman?
Witness—Yea, I bought them in December last, and I
gave her 13/. 10s. for them.
The Asaistant-Judge—Did you know her?
Witness—No, I never SSW her before in my life.
The Aasisunt-Judge—Are you in the habit of buying
things in this way
Witness—We always ask for the name and address.
The Assistant-Judge—And you are witisfied with that?
Witness—We also judge by the appearance of the
person.
The Assistant-Judge—And do you make any inquiry if
the person's statement is correct ?
Witness—No, if we were to do so we should have nothing
else to do.. - - _ . _

The Assistant-Judge--I think you may consider yourself
fortunate that you do not stand in the dock with the pri-
soner.

Wstness—What for! We did everything we ought by
asking her name and address, and we bought these dia-
monds for their value.

COTTON GOODS.—MANCIIEsTES, FEB. 19.—The yarn and
cloth markets have been steady to-dg, but qquiet. In shipping
yarns buyers have been more disputed to do Irises at the low
prices current. The heathen done has been rather
consider.able fur export, and this branch of the market cheer
rather better than It has been. There is a strong hope that the
lowest prices have been reached. In home trade yarns the
market Ms been quiet but steady, and there is very little change
in the quotations of Friday last. In cloths, without actual
change lu prices, we have considerable dulness and feeling of
depression. There has been less business doing to-day perhaps
than fur a week past, although in some quarters offers continue
to he made. Such offers. however. are mostly at prices too low
for acceptance. The unchanged position of the yarn market
renders concession in prices for goods out of the question.
Manufacturers, therefore, stand by their quotations of last
week, and their position in this respect is strengthened by the
considerable quantity of tudinisheil orders ou hand. The
maesd rket closes, after very few tranriscUons, at the prices of last
Tuay.

PREVENTION OF COLLIERY ACCIDENTS.

Mr. EDWARDS asked the Home Secretary whether he
proposed to introduce any measure to prevent the recur-
rence of such lamentable sacrifice of life as attended the
late colliery accidents at Barnsley and elsewhere.
Mr. WALPOLE said that a committee sat last session
on the subject, but did not complete their inquiries. Al
moon as the late calamitous accidents at Ilarns/ey
and elsewhere occurred, in the autumn, he had
directed all the inspectors to meet together in order that
they might make suggestions which might prove useful in
the future investigations before the committee. In addi-
tion to this two inspectors, Messrs. Blackwell and Dicken-
son, were ordered to ♦ttegd the Oaks CeMerl. lie Lad

CRETE.
Sir H. VERNEY asked the Foreign Secretary whether
the stipulations contained in the Hatti Schemff of 1856
had been observed by the Turkish government towards the
Christian inhabitants of Crete, and if no information had
reached him, whether he would cause inquiry to be made
from each consular agent.
Lard STANLEY said that all the information received
from the British consul at Crete upon the subject to which
the question referred, was already on the table of the
house. He did not think it would be found to bear much
on this particular question, but in consequence of the
observations made in the late debate, be had thought it
right to cause a search to be made among the records of
the office for any despatches on the subject that had been
received during the last few years. If he found any of
sufficient importance to justify their publication he would
have much pleasure in laying them on the table.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

(mm's nutaiuma.)
FRANCE.
PARE, F. 19, EVENING.

In to-day's sitting two demands for leave to
question the government were presented to the
Corps Legislatif —one by M. Lanjuinais, on the
subject of the modifications introduced in the
decree of the 24th November ; and the other by
M. Picard, relative to the circular of M. Vandal.
These demands will be examined by the bureaux
on Thursday next.
The Yellow Book contains a despatch addressed
by the Marquis de Moustier, on the 11th December
last, to the Count de Sartiges, French Minister
at the Papal court. The despatch says :
"Need I point out all the security resulting
to the Pontifical government from the
engagement which has been contracted by King
Victor Emmanuel, never to cross the frontiers of
the Papal States himself, and to protect them
against all attacks from without, even by force of
arms. We are convinced that the cabinet of

,Florence, whose reiterated assurances scarcely per-
il* of doubt, will faithfully fulfil all we expect
from it." After counselling the Roman govern-
ment to introduce reforms, the despatch concludes
as follows :—" Assure his Holiness that the with-
drawal of the French troops by no moans implies
an abandonment of the important interests which
for seventeen years we have guarded by our pre-
sence in Rome, and over which, whether far or
near, we shall not cease to watch with the fullest
devotion."

THE NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT.
BERLIN. Fn. 19.

As far as the results of the elections for the
North German Parliament are known, 81 conser-
vatives, 51 liberals of different shades, 8 clericals,
and 11 Poles have been elected in the old pro-
vinces, and 23 liberals, 17 separatists, and 2 Danes
in the new provinces of Prussia. A vast majority
of separatists have been elected in Saxony, and of
national liberals in the other North German
states. Forty fresh elections have to take place.
The ceremony of the opening of the North Ger-
man Parliament will take place in the White-hall,
and will be preceded by a religious service in the
chapel of the palace.

THE FENIAN RISING IN IU:RItY.

DUBLIN, TOMMY Nnurr.
The following telegrams have been received from
Killarney :—" Tuesday, 2 o'clock.—All is quiet; none of
the leaders have as yet been arrested. They are still in
the county, though perhaps mattered. The authorities
hope to capture them. There have been no movements of
troops here to-day. An unreliable report has been circu-
lated that Stephens is in this country. No arrests have
taken place except on suspicion. The military very

sentenced at the Commission Court, ' Doctor' Power
sad John Deny to 15 years; George Brown, William
Steck, Michael Hanley, and Thomas Barnes to.IO years ;
and Denis Cashman and J. Walsh to 7 years' penal ser-
vitude."

The Lord Mayor's banquet took place to-night; about
five hundred ladies and gentlemen were present. The
Lord-Lieutenant, in referring to the Fenian outbreak, said
there was every reason to believe that it had collapsed-
The people of Kerry showed by their conduct that they
did not sympathie with the insurgents, and he believed
that the arm of justice would he raised rather against un-
scrupulous foreign agents than the population of the
country. The government would not relax their vigilance
for a moment, and would promptly use for the instant sup-
pression of any outbreak the means at their disposal.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY. )

The fresh receipts of Englisk wheat, although small,
were, with the supply remaining unsold from Monday,
more than adequate to meet the wants of millers. In both
red and white parcels, sales were not concladed witho,t
difficulty, but no actual reduction took place in the cur-
rencies. The condition of the produce was only middling.
Business in foreign wheat was of a retail nature
at about the rates previously current. The quantity on
offer was good.
' In floating cargoes of grain the transactions were on a
limited scale, at previous quotations.
Fine malting barley wu in request, at full priors for
grinding and distilling sorts. The market was quiet.
Malt moved off slowly, on former terms.
The supply of oats was only moderate. The trade ruled
firm, and full prices were realised.
Beans were m moderate request, at late rates.
Peas changed hands steadily at Monday's currency.
Flour ruled firm, on former terms.

Agricultural seeds were more sought after, but line" t
and rapeseed were dull. No improvement took place 'a
the demand fo: cakes.

FATAL LARKING ON TAR OLD SWAN
PIER.-TWO LIVES LOST.

Last evening an inquiry was held at the canteen,
in the Tower of London, before Mr. Ratcliffe, the coroner
for the liberty, respecting the death of John Reagan, ned
22, a lighterman, who with a young woman named Elen
Harney was drowned by falling off a bare alongside the
Old Swan-pier London-bridge, on the night of Sunday,
the 27th ult. The body was found off the Tower yester-
day morning.
John Connor, a lad living in Jacob-street, Dockhead,
said that on the evening of the Sunday in question he
went with the deceased and • young man named Cal-
laghan, and two young girls of the name of Harney and
and Roach, for a walk. They met each other in Shad
Thames. They. went over London-bridge, and accom-
panied by the girls and Callaghan, they proceedeA on Old
Swan Pier. Thu, wan about half-past 1 or 12 o'clock on
the Sunday night. The deceased man Reagan, and nen
Harney and Callaghan, then walked down the pier and
went on board a barge which was lying alongside the
dummy. He saw Reagan and Harney on the gunwale of
the ham., and he then noticed them fall in the weer.
The girl fell first, and then the deceased immediately
afterwards. They soon disappeared under the water. Cal-
laghan was in the cabin. The deceased and Harney were
close together when they fell into the river. Reagan
had had some drink.

Mary Roach, a young Irishwoman, said she was single,
and lived in Mary's-buildings, Rotherhithe. She knew the
deceased and the young woman Harney. She went with
them for a walk on the Sunday night. After walking
over London-bridge they went on the Old Swan Pier.
Reagan put his arm round Ellen Marney's nook, and asked
her to go with him on board the barge. Witness aid she
would not, and remained on the pier. Reagan then went
on the barge, and Marney followed him. They sat down
on the aide of the barge, and she noticed Reagan put hie
arm again round blarney's neck, and then they both fell
into the water. . _

Coroner—Could you see what they were doing?
Witness—They were larking and playing together—
not quarrelling.
It was explained to the Coroner that the deceased lighter-
man, Bengali, bad to take the barge .ivray on the following
morning. He was in the employ of Dodds and Bethel, of
Graoechureh-street. The body of the girl had not been
found. . . .

The Coroner said it was clear that the deceased bad lost
his life by accident, although it was imprudent of him to
have acted as unhappily he had.
The foreman trusted that this sad affair would operate
as a warning to the young woman Roach, and the jury
accordingly returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

Captain Cornwell, captain of the American
armour-plated monitor Miantonomob, died suddenly at
Toulon, a few nights back, from a stroke of apoplexy. His
funer.d obsequies were celebrated three days after with all
the ceremonial wed in France for a superior other dying
on board a ship of war.

THE SHF.TFIRLD ATROCMER.

Despite the angry denial of complicity on the
part of other trades, the Tines insists that the system in
vogue at Sheffield has been by no means so eaceptional in
character or so limited in extent as was at first believed.
Our contemporary refers to the evidence taken within
the last few days in support of its charge.
The extracts it gives show that besides Broad-
head, five secretaries and a president of es many
different unions were all engaged as accessories before
or after the fact in murderous or sanguinary outrages for
purposes of trade. Committees of unions are seen either
actually paying the blood money for these deeds, or allow-
ing funds to be abstracted for the purpose without
ob-
servation or inquiry. A large employer of labour consents
to hire out one of his own men to shoot a particular
stetim, and con2ea's the whole story for ten years together.
A score or two of persons, at the least, must have had
more or less cognis .nce of the character and origin of
these atrocities, and while not one man was found to come
forward and give a clue to their origin, the loudest denun-
ciations of the sy.tain were uttered by those who at the
very moment were actually engaged in it.
In another article the Tunes, treating of Mr. Bright'e
speech to the Fishmongers' Company, suggests that the
hon. member for Birmingham now tremble* for the results
of household suffrage, and that possibly his misgivings
are in the direction of those skilled artisans, the
trades unionists, whom last year's bill would have more
particularly enfranchised. According to the Time* the
murderous wretches whose confessions have appalled the
British public as much as the doings of Hare, Burke, and
other monsters of crime, are the Brahminical caste in the
scale of industry.
The Herald thinks that several questions still remain
to be answered by trades' unions. Is rattening, even in
its milder forms, to be reprobated? Is the concealing of a
man's bands justifiable? May an obstinate file-manufac-
turer's cistern of hard water be pieroed, so that
the water proper for hie trade shall run away?
May his books be abstracted? May machine bricks
be squirted with tar? And how about picketing'
May men be called foul and dishonouring names
in the Queen's highway ; women be stopped and
their p.reels overhauled in the street ; or, as in
the case of Margaret Rattenbury, be followed home and
bullied into accepting Bie. a week from the union instead
of Ms. from Mr. Bowater, though she has to support three
children and a husband dying of consumption? Where
does intimidation begin, and where does outrage end?

MISCELLANY.OI'SI TOPICS.

The Times shows that the Libel Bill, which passed
through committee on Tuesday night, embodies no
principle which need alarm the most zealous censor
of the newspaper press. As the bill now stands, a
true report of speeches at a "meeting lawfully assembled
fora lawful purpose, open to reporters, and at which
reporters were present for the purpose of reporting such
proceedings for the public newspapers," ceases to be action-
able; but the publisher of a newspaper in which the
report of a libellous statement shall have appeared will be
compelled to print in a conspicuorss place an explanation
or contradiction thereof on demand from the party
aggrieved, and the persona using the defamatory language
will be liable to an action. Surely it is far better to sup-
press libel at its source than to punish those who innocently
circulate it.

Commenting upon German affairs, the Daily Newa re.
marks that the next step towards the great goal of all
German aspirations—uational unity—ice the reconstitution
of the commercial union, to which wit only the North
German Confederation will belong, but those Southern
states which, lying beyond the Confederation, and bound
to it by all the ties of • common country, will be ad-
mitted. Iltraria has already led the way.
The Post notices with much plesaure an announcement
that next year it is her Majesty's intention to hold draw-
ing-rooms In person, and urges that the ceremony should
take place, not in St. James's Palace, but in Buckingham
Palace. Why, it asks, should not the gardens be beau-
tified and thrown open on such occasions, and why should
they not partake more nearly of the character of what are
celled " breakfasts," instead of consisting as they do of a
mere marching past? Another grievance is the court
dress, which is now an anachronism and is unbecoming. It
would be far better that gentlemen sbou'd he permitted
to attend her Majesty's levees in the s mie dress SA they
would a roy.l dinner when they arc not entitled to uni-
form, that is to say, in shorts and silks, or tights,

PROBABLE REAR' LTS OF THE REFORM BILL.

Glancing at the probable party results of the Reform
Bill—a point which Mr. Disraeli by communication with
election agents endeavoured at the outset to ascertain—
the Daily News proceed., to observe that of the electors,
the great proportion would if equally polled be advanced
liberals. But they will not be equally polled. The large
towns will send up for the moat part the same men,
while in the small towns the votes of agricultural labourers
will in many c wee convert the boroughs from being semi-
liberal into being wholly tory, each seat thus gained being
as good for party purposes in the House of Commons as a
seat for the Metrop dis or for Manchester. Not a single
small borough is to be disfranchised, and no grouping
even is sanctions I left any independence should have
a chance. In the counties the 121. tenancy being
unattended with any necessity for residence or
even for being c ,mbined with a house at all, will give to
every estate as many vet TB as are represented by its total
rental divided by 12. Since the bulk of the land is in tory
hands, this I .vours a universal tory majority in counties.
But, t r make assurance doubly sure, • boundary commis-
sion is to perambulate En.land, to cut off from the counties
the "tibial"s of all the boroughs within their limits, and so,
again, to exclude the influence of any independent ele-
ment. Equal justice would naturally assign to the same
commission the duty of cutting off the portions of
agricultural districts which have been added to
many of our small boroughs. But thin would
either restore the borough to independence, or would
show its real population to be so small, that it must fall
under the next disfranchising schedule. So, though manu-
factures are to be expurgated from counties, agriculture is
still to be an ingredient of boroughs, and the new members
assigned to both boroughs •ed counties are at tho Nuns
time arranged so scientifically that they cannot fail in
some places to add to • conservative county representa-
tion, in others to neutralise a neighbouring but now
severed, liberal constituency. Similar principles rule the
arrangements in Scotland, and Mr. Disraeli, there
can be little doubt, believes he has secured to him-
self a parliamentary majority at the next election, and thin
majority though a false representation of the country,
can only be thrust aside by agitation, a new reform bill,
and • second election. This is what the good-natured
heedlessness of liberal members in the present parliament
may be preparing for us. By giving Mr. Disraeli's arrange-
ments • majority at every division they are making their
own exclusion from office, for at least the endurance of
another parliament, a dead certainty.

THE ALLEGED FORGERIES UPON THE

LEEDS BANK.

Mr. Thomas Edgeley, formerly carrying on busi-
ness as a merchant in Sermon-lane, surrendered this morn-
tug before the Lord Mayor to undergo further examina-
tion upon the charge of having defrauded the Leeds Bank,
prior to its stoppage in September, 1864, of more than
106,000 f., by means of bills of exchange purporting to be
accepted by a fictitious company, called the Maydampeck
Forest Company, in Semis.
Mr. Poland again attended in support of the prosecution,
instructed through the official liquidator of the Bank. Mr.
Sleigh was counsel for the defendant sa on previous
occasions.

The principal witness examined was Mr. Greenland, the
late manager of the Leeds Bank, who was brought up
under a writ of habeas corpus, he being at present under-
going a sentence of imprisonment for having issued a ficti-
tious balanoe-sheet having reference to the position of the
bank. The effect of his evidence was to show the various tran-
sactions that had taken place between him and the defend-
ant, and which have already been reported, and to prove
that bills to a large amount were discounted by him for
the defendant and a person named Von Cleaf, the original
concessionaire of the supposed forest rights ►t Maydampeck
the supposed security being the pretended company.
[The case was proceeding when we went to press. J

the breast near the left nipple. It was such a cut as might
be done with eraser.

In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that what the
constable had stated was quite true. He had been out of
work so long that it preyed upon his spirits, and he at last
thought it would be better to be out of everybody's way.
The magistrate asked the doctor if there was any danger
to be apprehended from the wound. He replied in the
negative.
Hie worship remanded the prisoner until Saturday, with
directions that inquiries should be made as to the state of
his mind.

I.,cribed as an artist of photography, was eh before
fir Newton with creating a disturbance in the Cambridge
Nuaic-hall, near the Great Eastern terminus, and also
nth violently assaulting Henry Dixon, manager of the
7,frodiment department there.
From the complainant's statement, it appeared that on
suunlaT evening last his attention was attracted by a
:rest noise at the top of a flight of stairs, and on repairing
to the spot, he received a violent blow on the forehead,
indicted by the prisoner. A constable came up at the
moment and prevented a second blow, and
3 was with great difficulty he was got into
Cie street, where, on the policeman releasing him,
he :man inflicted a severe blow, which fell on his neck.
When questioned by the magistrate, witness said that
the defendant called the owners of the establishment a set
swindlers, adding that the Lord Chamberlain ought to
le ashamed of himself for licensing such a place. He was
alizhey in liquor.
INlendant insisted that this statement was an entire
fd,neation. He admitted being a little fresh.

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-HOUSE.

Jahn Beard, a well:iresteciQ---m)ectablelo
young man, was brought up in cue y, and
before Mr. Alderman Carter wiih loitering in the City
with intent to commit a felony.
From the testimony of Timothy Carroll, 588, of the
City police, it appeared that on Friday night, about ten
o'clock, he was on duty in Wood-street, Cheapside, and
saw the prisoner lurking about in so suspicious a manner
as to induce him to watch the prisoner's movements. He
walked slowly along and was seen to enter the doorways
of several warehouses, and to attempt to get his hand into
the letter-boxes of many of these establishments. The
prisoner then went on into Cheapside, and put his hand
into the letter-box in the office door of Mr. Foster, wine
merchant, at the corner of Wood-street. From then
the witness followed the prisoner into Bow-lane, where he
repeatedjhis attempts at several of the letter-boxes in that
locality and at last the witness took him into custody. On
searching him at the police-station there were found in
the possession of the prisoner several letters, differently
addressed, and some of them open. Upon him were also
found two legal documents each bearing a rm. stamp. One
of the letters was addressed to Messrs. Beard, whose ad-
dress the prisoner stated to be in Old Broad-street, adding
that Mr. Beard was his father, but this statement he
(witness) had not yet had an opportunity of making an
inquiry into, and therefore he asked for a remand.
The prisoner, when asked how he accounted for being
in possession of an undelivered letter, bearing the post
mark of the Bth instant, said that it had been left by mis-
take at his father's office and that he bad intended
to have given it to the officer to return to the postman,
but that he inadvertently put itinto his pocket and forgot
it. With respect to the two legal instruments he said he
had purchased them for half-a-crown, and thought he could
MAO a profit of half-a-crown by his purchase.
Mr. Alderman Carter granted the application for a re-
mand with a view to full inquiries, and the prisouer was
accordingly remanded until to-morrow.
The letters and other documents found upon the prisoner
were handed over to Detective-Sergeant Mass, with direc-
tions to investigate the matter.
Just as the court was about to rise the father of the
accused, accompanied by a friend, entered in a hurried
manner, having accidentally heard the position in which
his son was placed and applied to Mr. Alderman Carter
to admit the accused to bail.

iiii;;manCarter granted the application, and the
required resoguisanees for his appearance to•worow having
been entered into, the accused warn liberated.
