His Honour adjourned the examination accordingly.
A question arose relative to the bankrupt's allowance,
which bad been withheld by the official assignee in con-
sequence of the bankrupt having spent 1601., which he
was unable to account for a short time before his bank-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MANSION-HOUSE.

POCKET PICKING. —I ohn, L aley, a lad about 15 years
of age, was placed at the bar before Alderman Salomons,
charged with pocket picking.

Police-constable 490 deposed that last evening about
a quarter to 8 o'clock, he enw the prisoner run up the
steps by London bridge after a gentleman, put his hand
into his pocket, and make off. Witness pursued him
into Fish-street, when the prisoner ran into King's Head-
court. Witness ran round another way and caught him
in Pudding-lane. On apprehending him, he found two
silk pocket handkerchiefs in his pocket.
The prisoner said he purchased the handkerchiefs, as
he was going out of town.
He was committed to the House of Correction for six
weeks.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— Daniel Collins, a young man,
21 years of age, was charged with attempting self-
destruction.

Police Constable 580 deposed that about 1 o'clock this
morning he saw the prisoner on the other side of the
parapet of Loudon•bridge. He got over and caught
hold of him just as he was about to throw himself off
into the water. The prisoner, who was in a frightful
state of intoxication at the time, was potman at the
Cardinal Wolsey, Tooley-street.
_ _ .

The prisoner's master stated the prisoner had lived with
him on two occasions. Ha had to discharge him on the
first for intoxication. He the took the pledge and had
only been in his service the second time about a fort-
night.
The prisoner was committed for seven days.
SHOPLIFTING.—The three females named Sullivan,
Hart, Miner, and Wm. Murray, remanded last week
charged with shoplifting (the particulars of which were
reported in The Sum at the time) were committed for
trial.
London, England, 1855-09-04

CLERKEN WELL.

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.— William, Greig,
aged 22, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt,
charged with assaulting Mrs. Margaret Bateman, a
cripple.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who
is the son-in-law of the complainant, went to her resi-
dence, 14, Clarendon-street, Somers-town, yesterday
afternoon at four o'clock, and asked if his wife was there.
The complainant stated that she was not there—that she
had taken her child to the doctor, he having shook the
child and made it very ill ; and that he was a great
brute, and if anything happened he would be punished
for it. When she was about closing the door the pri-
soner, who has several times ill-used her before, pushed
her against the wall with great violence, and struck her
on the mouth, and caused her a great loss of blood. He
had cruelly ill-treated her daughter, whom she, a poor
needlewoman, and a cripple, was compelled partially to
support, and the only money he had given her was the
small sum of 2s. 6d. since the commencement of last
July. He called her several beastly names, and having
pushed her with great violence against the wall, ran up
into her room. When the policeman was called he
found the prisoner in a fighting attitude, and very
violent.
The prisoner said that it was all false.
Mr. Tyrrwhitt, after commenting in very feeling terms
upon the conduct of the prisoner, said that, in striking
hie mother-in-law, he only showed his brutal propen-
sities, and to mark his senso of his conduct, he should
fine him 405., or two months hard labour in the House
of Correction.
The prisoner was locked up.

semicircular lines behind the Malakhoff Tower.

A great movement is observable amongst the
army of the enemy on the Belbec plateau.
New works have been constructed by the Allies
to protect the line of the Tchernaya.

The Russians are actively constructing the
bridge which is to unite the north and south of
Sebastopol.
All the steamers of the Allies have been ordered
to return to France for troops. They bring home
sick and wounded.

Gun-boats of the Allies having appeared at the
mouth of the Danube, the Russians have forbid
the navigation of that river to neutral vessels.

on the 29th ult., contains the official announce-
ment that General Puchsanet 11., who has hitherto
commanded the artillery of the active army, has
been named commandant of the 3d corps of in-

of Frankfort, announces that M. de Prokesh Osten
arrived at Vienna on the 28th from Frankfort, and
had a long conference with Count Buol on the fol-
lowing day. The Russian Councillor Laxmann
has arrived from St. Petersburg with important
despatches. Count Leon Moltke has set out for
Denmark.
A letter from Vienna says that the Steam Navi-
gation Company of the Danube is sending all the
towing vessels it possesses to the provinces of the
Lower Danube, but that they will not be sufficient
to enable the large quantities of corn collected
there to be sent off, and that even any number of
row-boats would be able to obtain freights at high
prices.

THE BALTIC FLEET.
NA. RGEN, Aug. 22 to 28.—The gale which was
blowhng from the westward when the Geyser left
the 'fleet, with the mails, for Dantzic, last Tuesday,
increased next day to such violence as to oblige us
to let go a second anchor, our top-gallant masts
being already on deck. It continued until the 24th,
when the wind changed to the northward, and
lulled.
Aug. 22.—The Mercator transport arrived with
the bullocks from Elsinore.
Aug. 23.—The Amphion sailed to the eastward.
Aug. 24, 4 a.m.—The French steamer Pelican
arrived from Dantzic,and in the evening two French
gun-boats joined the fleet from home. It is rather
late for them to come out, but not too late, I be-
lieve, for what they have to do, and from what I
hear work is in store for them.
Aug. 25.—At 10 a.m., the Vulture took the
lEolus in tow, and proceeded with her to sea for a
short distance. She returned at 6.30, and took the
Calcutta in tow as far as the Dager-Ort. The Cal-
cutta takes home the invalids of the fleet, in charge
of Dr. Jeffcot. She will call at Faro for those who
were on board the Cottinghani on their way to
England when she was wrecked. They are at pre-
sent in the Belleisle hospital ship.
s.so.—The Retribution, carrying the flag of Ad-
mira.. Baynes, left for the Gulf of Bothnia, where
he goes to take command. His first destination is
Ledsund.

EXTRACT 04E A LETTER FROM SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO SIR

CHARLES NAPIER.

Admiralty, May 1, 185.4. [Recd. 15th.]
My dear Sir Charles—lt will be best, in the first in-
stance, to feel your way, and to make good your bold in
the Gulf of Finland. When I say this, Iby no means
contemplate an attack either on Sweaborg or on Cron-
stadt. I have a great respect for stone walls, and have
no fancy for running even screw line-of-battle ships
against them. Because the public here may be impa-
tient, you must not be rash ; because they, at a distance
from danger, are foolhardy, you must not risk the loss
of a fleet in an impossible enterprise.
I believe both Sweaborg and Cronstadt to be all but
impregnable from the sea—Sweaborg more especially—
and none but a very large army could co-operate by land
efficiently, in the presence of such a force as Russia could
readily conce-,trate f,,r the immediate defence of the ap-
proaches to her capital. If, then, you have no means
except naval at your command, you must pause long,
and consider well, before you attempt any attack on the
Russian squadrons in their strongholds ; and I am afraid
that they are much too cautious to come out and meet
you. Had you been weaker they might have done so.
Now they will wait, and watch an opportunity, in the
hope that you will seriously cripple your force by knock-
ing your head against their forts when they may take you
at a serious disadvantage, and inflict a f4tal blow. These
considerations must not be overlooked by you ; I recal
them to your mind, lest, in the eager desire to achieve a
great exploit, and to satisfy the wild wishes of an impa-
tient multitude, you should yield to some rash impulse
and fail in the discharge of
,one of the noblest of duties,
which is the moral courage to do what you know to be
right, at the risk of being accused of having done wrong.
It is enough to present this view to your deliberate at-
tention ; you will reflect on it, and I am certain that
your judgment will not err.—l am, my dear Admiral,
yours sincerely, J. G. GRAHAM.
His Excellency Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier,

The principal transaction was 250 to 100, twice, about
Rifleman. Lord of the Isles was nominally at 7to 2.
and Oulston at 4 to 1 ; the former was dripping back to
Oulston's " figure," but an offer to lay 200 even he beats
the latter gave him the vantage ground again. Grmculus
Eiuriens was backed at 12 and 10 to 1, and 12 to 1
would have been taken about Cspucine. Marchioness
receded ominously to 20 to 1, laid in fifties.

to prevent any Russian ships passing out into the
North Sea on the opening of the ice. I accordingly
anchored in Kioge Bay on the Ist of April, and re-
ceived the declaration of war the following day. On the
Bth April the Admiralty wrote that, under the circum-
stances stated by me, their lordships approved of my
proceedings. But, strange to say, on the 13th January,
1855, the Admiraltyaccused me of having quitted Wingo
Sound without orders. —C.N.]

My dear Sir Charles—lf anything can be done, you
will discover the best mcans of doing it; but no ra,h ex•
periments must be tried which do not hold out a reason•

I still think that a complete blockade of the Gulf of

if possible of an anchor age within the Gulf, where you can
command a supply of water.—l am, yours sincerely,

LYCEUM THEATRE.

, ,

Last night the world-renowned Wizard of the North
opened his magnificent scale at this theatre. On the
rising of the curtain the stage pre-ented one of the most
brilliant scenes ever witnessed. On either sida was dis-
played the silver apparatus of the mighty Wizard, and
nothing of the kind could well be more splendid. On
the appearance of Professor Anderson he was most
entnusiastically received, and the warmth of the re-
ception seemed to make a deep impression on him.
After gracefully thanking the audience for their kind-
ness, he commenced his extraordinary series of " Delco-
semens Magiques, or Marvels in Modern Magic." To
describe the different tricks and changes wound indeed
be a task—in fact, it would be an attempt to describe
the indescribable; and, therefore, from such we trust
our readers will excuse us. Among the many new and
extraordinary tricks, none caused more astonishment than
the "New Calculating Machine," which continually
proved that two fours made twelve!—and the Inexhausti-
ble Bottle, from which the Wizard poured upwards of 100
gla,ses of different liquids, such as brandy, gin, rum,
whisky (Scotch and Irish) port, sherry, liquors of every
description ; champagne, soda water, Epsom salts, castor
oil, butter-milk, indeed everything that was asked for,
and a great deal more. In the second part of the enter-
tainment, the most curious portion was the " Half-hour
with the Spirits," in the course of which the professor
denounced the table-rapping device, which has been so
successfully foisted upon the American public. He
stated that table-rapping was nothing i❑ the world but
an ingenious piece of jugglery. To illustrate his state-
ment he caused glass bells, with hammer attached to
to them externally, to be suspended by cords over the
pit, and although swinging backward and forward
sounded at command. A table was then placed in the
centre of the theatre and the same result followed. The
applause that followed this portion of the entertainment
was most enthusiastic. Several other tricks followed,
and the entertainment concluded shortly before eleven.
The theatre was crowded to suffocation, standing-room
being at a premium long before the rising of the curtain.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, in the Post Ampt Gazette
of Frankfort, announces that M. de Prokesh Osten
arrived at Vienna on the 28th from Frankfort, and
had a long conference with Count Buol on the fol-
lowing day. The Russian Councillor Laxmann
has arrived from St. Petersburg with important
despatches. Count Leon Moltke has set out for
Denmark.
A letter from Xienna says that the Steam Navi-
gation Company of the Danube is sending all the
towing vessels it possesses to the provinces of the
Lower Danube, but that they will not be sufficient
to enable the large quantities of corn collected
there to be sent off, and that even any number of
row-boats would be able to obtain freights at high
prices.

THE SOUND DUBS.

The following is the precise text of the Danish
note addressed to the American Minister at Copen-
hagen, in reply to a communication in which no-
tice is given of the intended cancelling of the treaty
which existed between the United States and Den-
mark
"Conformably to the wish which you expressed to me
on the 14th August, T have the honour of announcing
to you that I received on the same day the communication
containing the notice that the President of the United
States had denounced the treaty of amity, commerce,
and navigation which was first concluded on the 26th
April, 1826, between Denmark and the United States,
for a space of ten years, and for 12 months after its de-
nunciation. I sincerely share in your regret at seeing
a treaty expire which has so long benefitted the interests
of the inhabitants of the United States as well as the
subjects of his Majesty. But lam charged to observe
to you that my Government cannot admit the connection
which is established by the Government of the United
States between the suppression of the Sound dues and
the treaty in question, which in reality regulates the
rate at which the Sound dues are to be levied on Ame-
rican vessels, but of which the existence of the right on
which that charge is founded is quite independent. Ai
the Government of the United States has assumed the
initiative in the denunciation of the treaty, the Govern-
ment of the King, my august master, hopes that over-
tures will be made to it for concluding a new treaty
calculated to maintain the commercial relations which
have hitherto so happily existed between the two na-
tions, and to prevent the consequence, as disastrous as
in,vitable, of the definitive extinction of this treaty, a con •'
sequence which would cause the vessels of the United I
States iti passing the Sound and the Be:t to be treated
as vessels of noa•favoured nations.—Accept, &c.,
" SCAMS."
