TIM LORDS OF THE ADMIRALTY AT

DEVORPORT.

The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, the
Right Hon. Sir 3. S. Pakington, M.P., G.C.8., Admiral
Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., Admiral Seymour, and Mr.
Du Cane, and Lord H. G. C. G. Lennox, the first secre-
tary, landed from their yacht the Osborne, on Friday
morning, at the basin steps of the Devonport dockyard,
where they were received by the admiral superintendent
and principal officers of the yard. Their lordships then
proceeded over the various store houses and work-
shops, and visited the various vessels in course of
construction and repair, inspecting the whole very
minutely. The Robust, in course of oonrtruction in
that • yard as a two deck 81 gun ship, of
3,716 tons, their lordships have decided upon cutting
down, and altering to a double cupola armour-plated ship,
after the design of the Royal Sovereign, the Dryad, 4,
screw sloop, building at that yard, a sister to the ill-fated
Amazon, is to have her bow somewhat modified, and to
prevent a similar accident occurring to her that occurred
to the Amazon a very secure and strong water-proof bulk-
head is to be built in her nine feet aft from her how. Their
lordships also inspected the building about to be erected in
that yard for the purpose of carrying out spinning rope by
machinery as at Chatham, employing female labour At the
operation. In the afternoon their lordships lunched on
board the Ocean, and then landed at Keyham
yard, where they also went over that yard very minutely.
They also inspected the works being carried out at the
north end of that yard for the large extension of the north
basin. At the admiral's office in this yard, their lord-
ships received a deputation from the Plymouth Chamber
of Commerce, asking the assistance of their lordships to
erect a breakwater upon the Cobbler shoal, in Plymouth
Sound. Their lordships promised to give every facility to
the scheme short of pecuniary assistance. A deputation
of the committee of the Royal Albert Hospital, at Daven-
port, had an interview with Lord Lennox, at which Sir
Richard Mayne, and Mr. Mallallieu, of the Metropolitan
police, were present, relative to the contemplated
enlargement of the Lock ward in that hospital,
with the assistance of the Admiralty. On Satur.
day their lordships went over the Royal William
Victualling-yard, giving more attention to it in its details
than has been known by the officials to have given by
any board for the last thirty years. They then inspected
the division of Marines and the Marine-barracks, and the
new residence and boat-house erected for the Queen's
harbour master. In the afternoon they went over the
Royal Naval Hospital and examined the state of Stone-
house Creek, adjoining the hospital, which is much com-
plained of from the state of the drainage. They then re-
turned to Devonport Dockyard, where they received 2d
deputations from the various artisans, asking increase of
wages.

THE FLOODS IN THE NORTH RIDING.—It is 35
years since any approach to the sceue of desolation wit-
nessed yesterday (Friday) in the fertile vales of North
Yorkshire has occurred. The constant rains of the last
fortnight, culminating in the enormous rainfall of Wed-
nesday last, have carried destruction along the oourso of
every river. At noon, yesterday, the waters were thought
to be at their highest, but as more rain threatened fears
were entertained that the floods would not yet recede.
Every valley has suffered from flood, more or less, but the
greatest destruction has been in Ryedale and among the
Rye tributories. In the upper part of the wide vale a great
lake has been formed by the nvers Rye and Riccal which
met, completely overflowing tho whole intermediate
country, inundating houses and rendering roads impas-
sable. Nunnington suffered most from this disaster,
whole crops of gawked corn being floated away. The
Kirkilale beck, always impetuous, rose with unexampled
rapidity, and the ford was no longer safe. A pony and
cart, with two persons in it, were carried some distance,
and rescued with difficulty. Souse other narrow escapes
occurred here. The Farndalebeck rose equally quickly, and
at Yawdsworth Mill much timber was carried away, and a
newly built house washed down. At Sunnington, the
Leven flooded the village, and floated large timber about
in great confusion. Mr. Carter, of Kirby-Mooraide, with
another ffentleman, on horseback, were obliged to return
to Pickering, and took refuge in the inn near the bridge.
The house being full they were compelled to sit by the fire
till daylight ; but the water entered during the night end
flooded the house, confining the inmates to the upper
story, necessaries having to be given them from the
street. The low part of the town of Pickering was much
flooded. Between Kirby-Moorside and Melton miles of
road wore flooded, and the inhabitants were prisoners in
their houses in various places. At Marton, the water was
believed tobe five feet deep in the village, anil nothing was
left uncovered, save the large tree on the village green.
From Norinanhy, corn has been fleeted out of the fields
as far as Barugh-hill, three miles. The damage in Ryedale
cannot be estimated—whole farms are flooded. Not only
corn fields, but pastures in splendid trim are under water,
and yesterday morning stock were standing belly deep in
the flooded lands. Near Mahon the flood was increasing
yesterday. By some accident the self-acting clsugh in the
Rye had been propped open, and, in consequence, the flood
obtained access to old Mahon Moor, which, for the first
time since the enclosure, half a century ago, is flooded.
Farmers were busy fishing for their corn ricks in the
flooded waters. At Norton all pastures are overflowed,
and much property has been destroyed in the brickfields.
Hundreds of acres are flooded by the bursting of the banks
above Newshani. At Mahon the Crystal Brewery and some
other places were flooded. In some places the railways
are overhead and the trains are run through the water.
Some fears were entertained for the other bridges on the
Whitby line, but it is now thought they are safe.
The bridge near Grosmont, which failed on Thursday
morning, has become a total wreck, and a stationary engine
erected to pump the water from the coffer dam of the
intended new bridge has been washed away, and is not
yet found. The North-Eastern Company are throwing
two Immense girders across the river, on which to erect a
temporary bridge, and it is expected by Monday a passage
for carriages only will be ready. This accident seriously
impedes the traffic of the Melton and Whitby, and North
Yorkshire and Cleveland lines, passenger traffic only going
on. In the Bak Valley the fields on both sides were
flooded, and two steamboats were driven to the sea at
Whitby, and one (the Goliath) sunk. The crew were
rescued. Some boats were also lost. At Stokesley the
agricultural show field wits under water, and the show
could not be held on Thursday. The Cleveland country
has suffered from inundation considerably. At3.3oyester-
day the Derwent was still rising, and the vale of York was
likely to get the flood.—Mandterter Guardian.
ATTEMPTED MURDER AT BIRMINGHAM. A
determined attempt at murder was made on Saturday
morning at the residence of Mr. Charles Dickeneon Sturge,
son of Alderman Sturge. Mrs. Mary Clark, the mother of
Mrs. Sturge, resided with the family, and a woman,
named Mary Jones, was some time ago employed in the
household, but latterly she was only occasionally employed
as semptress. Jones resided in Ladywoodlane, and on
Saturday morning, about 10 o'clock, she called at Mr.
Stores residence, Frederick-street, and asked to see
Mrs. Clark. She was shown into a room by a servant, and
Mrs. Clark, who is 72 years of age, went into the room.
The woman Jones immediately drew a knife from under-
neath her shawl and rushed upon the unfortunate lady,
Inflicting a wound front the back of the neck to the left
ear. Mrs. Stange and the servants were attracted to the
spot by the screams of Mrs. Clark, and on entering
the room they found the latter on the floor oovered
with blood, and the woman Jones standing over her.
Medical assistance was sent fur, and JOINS was locked in
the seem till a policeman arrived. On the officer entering
the room, he found the woman seated on a chair, app--
patently heedless of what bad taken place. The knife,
awhile handled Garver, about ten inches long, was lying
ea
the floor. The woman, who is about 44 years of age, is
said to be of weak mind. Yesterday morning Mrs. Clark
wee net dead, and lope* were entertained of her recovery,

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-HOUSE.
A respectable looking young man, named William F.
was brought before Alderman Annie for re-examination
upon the charge of stealing a waistcoat the property of
Mr. Mungo M'George, a wholesale clothier carrying on
business in Friday-street, and one of the members of the
Court of Common Council of the City of Lon lon.
Mr. Warner Sleigh, the barrister, appeared for the
secution, and Mr. Wontner, jun., attended on behalf of
the prisoner.
The circumstances of the case were somewhat peculiar.
The prisoner, it appeared, had been twelve years in the
service of the prosecutor, and bore en excellent character,
but as he was leaving the premises one evening last week
a police constable stopped him and asked what he had
about him, and it turned out that he had a waistcoat which
belonged to Mr. M'George. The excuse that he made for
taking the article was that he wanted a waist-
, out, and was taking this one home to see whether
his wife approved of it. Upon the lodging of
the prisoner being searched some trifling articles
were found similar to property used by the prosecutor in
his business, but they could not be identified. A duplicate
wee also found relating to a small quantity of alpaca cloth,
which had been pledged at the shop of Mr. heave, a pawn-
broker at Haggerstone ; but although this was said to be
similar in quality to the stuff that was used by the pro-
secutor it could not be identified as his property. The
case was pressed by the prosecutor on the ground that he
believed that other property had been stolen, and that,
having a good many persons in his service, he felt it his
duty to go on with the case, as a warning to the prisoner's
fellow servants. It was elicited in the course of 070M1.
examination by Mr. Wontner that it bad occurred that
Persons in the prosecutor's service had taken away articles
of clothing to wear on some particular ocsaaions which had
been brought back and replaced in stock, and that Mr.
M`George himself ones had taken a new suit of black to
wear at a funeral, and that it was afterwards put among
the stock.
Mr. Wontner, at the close of the evidence for the pose-
action, inquired whether it was intended by the prosecu-
tion to press for a committal-
Mr. Sleigh, after consulting with Mr. M`George, said
that the prosecutor felt himself bound to proceed with
the case, and to ask that the prisoner should be committed
for trial.
Mr. Wontner then addressed Alderman Piaui' for the
prisoner, and after observing that it was admitted that he
had borne a good character for twelve years, be urged it
wu most improbable that he should have intended to steal
such a trumpery article as this waistcoat. He also re-
minded the alderman that it had been stated that persons
in the employ of the prosecutor, and even the prosecutor
himself, had upon one or two occasions taken away articles
of clothing which had afterwards been replaced. With re-
gard to the alpaca, he said he should be able to show that
it was not the property of the prosecutor at all, but in
point of fact belonged to the sister-in-law of the pri-
soner.
The sister-in-law was then examined, and she
swore positively that she purchased the alpaca that had
been produced, and that she pawned it, and the prisoner
knew nothing about the matter. Her evidence was con-
firmed by her sister, both of them being apparently very
respectable young women.
Alderman Finnic said that after this evidence he thought
there was no imputation upon the prisoner so far as
related to the alpaca ; but with regard to the waistcoat it
appeared to him there was a clear case of felony, if the
prosecutor insisted upon proceeding with it.
Mr. M`George said he felt that it was his duty to do
The prisoner was accordingly committed for trial; but
he was admitted to bail, in one surety of 201., for his
appearance at the sessions.
GUILDHALL.
ifaitlague Clarke was summoned for having stolen a
register of shareholders belonging to the London Cotton
Manufactory Compana (Limitedl. The defendant had
been clerk to the company, and it wu his duty to make
up a share ledger from the register of shareholders. For
that purpose be asked permission of the secretary to take
the register book home with him to complete. Permission
was given him, and he took away the book and never brought
it back again. The company was ordered to be wound
up, and several of the shareholders, among whom was the
father of the defendant, objected to he placed on the
list of contributories on the ground that the register of
shareholders could not be produced, and the objection was
held to be valid. A reward of 501. was then offered for the
production of the book, and it was reported to the official
liquidator that the register was in the bands of the defen-
dant's father, whereupon a summons was taken out against
the defendant for illegally detaining it, but that summons
was dismissed on the ground that it was of greater value
than 151., and the magistrate had no jurisdiction. The
present summons was consequently taken out for stealing
the book.
The question was argued, and
Alderman Allen, in giving his decision, said he believed
no jury would convict in such a case, and he should, there-
fore, dismiss the summons. The best course for the com-
plainants would be to go before the grand jury.

LAMBETH.
George Eton*, alias Spencer, and LOUiRa Evans, alias
Ward, the keepers of a brothel in the Waterloo-road,
where a waggonload of valuable property had been found,
were finally examined before Mr. Elliott.
George Robert Brown, ahopman to Mr. Leddell, dealer in
hardware, at 24, High Holborn, identified a number of
articles, consisting of tea and coffee pots, nut-craeken,
salvers and cutlery, as the property of his master. and said
they formed a portion of a quantity of goods stolen from
the trap of one of the travellers in the month of December

last.
Sergeant Ham, 5 P, who has the management of the cue,
here said that the evidence of the last witness concluded
the testimony in six clear cases against the prisoners ; but
ithia worship wished it, he could produce witnesses in
many other cases where the property was identifit.sl, parti-
cularly a number of watches, some of them stolen from
their owners with great violence.
Mr. Elliott observed that six indictments would be suffi-
cient to satisfy the ends of Justice and send before a jury ;
at the same time he thought it advisable that the officer
should report to the court on the trial what he had then
stated.
The prisoners were then fully committed to take their
trial at the Surrey Sessions.

EXECUTION OP GRIME, THE WIGAN MURDERER,
—Thomas Grime, who was convicted at the last Liverpool
assizes of the murder of James Barton, at the Salkhouse
Colliery, near Wigan, in January, 1863, suffered death on
Saturday in front of Kirkdale Gaol, Liverpool. The hor-
rible details of this murder have been frequently told, and
it is unnecessary even briefly to detail them. The execu-
tion was fixed for 12 o'clock, and shortly before that hour
a serial of crowds, amounting in the aggregate to about
30,000 persons, had assembled within eight of the scaffold.
The most perfect order prevailed, and the crowd was re-
markable for the absence of the Liverpool " rough " ele-
ment, the small proportion of women, and the omission of
preaching, tract distributing, and comic song singing,
which hare of late years been the most marked features
of executions at Kirkdale. The convict was brought
on the scaffold within two minutes after 12 o'clock, and
was accompanied by the Roman catholic chaplain to the
gaol, the Rev. Henry Gibson (who had attended him since
his condemnation), by Calorsft, the executioner, an Iby
the chief warder of the gaol. The cap was at once put over
hWiiead, the noose fixed, and on the drop being drawn,
the body instantly fell, and disappeared from view behind
the screen. As the drop fell the chaplain finished reading
the recommendation of the parting soul, and Grime was
heard saying, " Lord Jesus receive my soul." During the
morning he had spent several hours with his spiritual ad-
viser, and mane remark. to persons about him in accord-
ance with statements be had made at intervals during the
week to the governor and other officials, and altogether
contradictory of his recent confession. A person named
Satterthwaite, who lives in Liverpool, and who had been
on intimate terms with Grime, was engaged during the in-
terval between his condemnation and the execution as
Grime's attendant, and to this person he malt
very positive statements from time to time. Im-
mediately before the execution the convict sent
for Mr. Satterthwaite, sad when the latter
went into the cell he said, " Well, Thomas, bow are
your Grime replied, " Well, old friend, I feel more
composed than I have been for some time." Mr. Satter-
thwaite said, "Well, do you feel satisfied in your mind
with respect to affairs!" Grime replied, " Well, you
remember the conversation we had last Saturday even-
ing !" and on Mr. Satterthwaite saying " Yee," Grimes went
on, " Well, I still retain the same words, that I never
laid hands on the old man. You named the parties lost
Saturday that did the deed." The persons who had
been named in the conversation alluded to were those who
have been already in custody oa the charge of murdering
Barton. During the morning of the execution the pri-
soner was composed. He ate • hearty breakfast, and
aftenrards asked the chaplain to write a letter to his
father, conveying his last expressions of affection. When
he appeared on the gallows he was calm, but very pale.
CAPTURE OF A LIVERPOOL MURDERER IN New
Yorte.—lntellionce was received in Liverpool on Satur-
day that Read, the man who murdered his wife in Liverpool
about four years ago, and afterwards escaped to America,
had been arrested in New York, by detartive officer Mars-
den, of the Liverpool police, who had been despatched in
quest of him. Read is expected to arrive in Liverpool on
Wednesday next.

THE LA T 1: WA Y ACCILENT NEAR ELY.

At the inquiry, on Vriday, by Captain Tyler, the
government inspector, into the circumstances attendant
upon this accident, the inspector had the whole of the
sleepers of the line bared for &distance of at least a couple
of hundred yards on the Chittiaborn aide of where the
train would appear to have left the metals, but they pre-
sented no unusual appearances—indeed, they were in the
most excellent condition. The minuteness with which the
examination at the scene of the accident was carried on
may be understood when it is stated that it lasted from
two o'clock until five, and theft an hour was devoted to
the inspection of the carriages. They were all
more or less damaged, and their appearance be-
tokened that the escape of the passengers con-
tained in them ' was a very narrow one indeed,
for the whole-of the iocflboards ware torn away, hid there
were sundry broken panels, the result of collision in run-
ning past the end of the composite carriage which was off
the line when they were carried past by their own ma
mentum. The wheels of all the carriages were most
critically examined, and these were very little marked con-
sidering what they had gone through. Than waa, how-
ever, one perceptible dent in the fore off wheel al the
composite carriage, showing where it struck the rail of the
down line before it rebounded and turned topsy-turvy on
top of the guard's van and engine. The fore wheels were
torn off the carriage, but both remained attached to their
axle, and are still true to gauge. An hour was de-
voted to this matter. The evidence of the wit-
nesses, as given before the coroner, was then
taken, and it was nine o'clock before the sit-
ting terminated. On Saturday, Captain Tyler visited
Peterborough, and took the evidence of Fuller, the
guard, and Shepherd.the fireman who are are laid up ihere,
but are progressing favourably, and will doubtless be able
to appear before the caroller at the adjourned inquiet. So
soon as the inspector bad concluded his examination of the
engine, a strung force of men and the "accident break"
were called into requisition in order to effect her removal.
This has since been accomplished, and she has been taken
to Peterborough, whence she started on her fatal journey.
Here she will undergo a more minute investigation than
was possible in the field, partially embedded as she was in
the soft earth, and where, too, owing to the recent heavy
rains, she had sunk more considerably than at first. In order
to give time for this, and the detail of the result by Cap-
tain Tyler to the coroner's jury, the assembly of the
latter to-day will be merely formal, and an immediate
adjournment to Wednesday will take place. The remains
of Brown, the driver, have been interred at Fletton, near
Peterborough. The atement that has appeared in some of
the papers that the " engine appears to have had a very in-
different reputation amongst the railway employes, aad
that the driver was looked upon in almost a 'Limiter light
to his engine" has created a great deal of indignation
amongst the officials and servants of the company for the
exact opposite was the fact. Mr. and Mrs. Grounds are
still at the Lamb Hotel at Fly, and under the skilful at-
tendance of Mr. Muriel, and with careful nursing are
making satisfactory progress. Mr. Grounds is enabled
with the assistance of his attendant to walk from his
room to that occupied by his wife who is not likely to
leave her bed for some length of time.
