clever but heartless impostures is a native of Limerick,
and that her mother, a very honest woman, resides there.
Also that her father, who is dead, bore the name of Hag-
gard, and was from Oilgate, in the county of Wexford.
The Mandeester Guardian of yesterday, however, says :
—Mary Atkinson, alias Alice Gray, is the daughter of
a poor but industrious man, a mason, or wailer, in Ken-
dal, who many years ago died suddenly of cholera, Mary
Atkinson, at her father's death, sought the protection
of an aunt, named Askew, a widow, at Old Hutton
about five miles from Kendal, and who took her under
her rouf. "Alice" had lived with her aunt—who pos-
sessed a small farm—only a short period, when the latter
disposed of her farming stock and agricultural imple-
ments, the proceeds being deposited in the Bank of
Westnaorelaud. " Alice " knew this, and in order to oL-
tain the money she represented to her aunt that there
was a kind-hearted lady named Robson, living at AT-
bleside, who took great interest in money belonging
widows, and she would give twice as much interest
and that
as the bank to any widow of good reputation
Mrs. Robson had made several inquiries respecting
integrity of Mrs. Askew. The bait took. a;ercyt nA"t kti hue-

would pay her • .
it to her niece to give to to Mrs. Robson (who of course
was a "Mrs. Harris'), and " Alice" never again re-
turned to her aunt's. These things took place in 1847.
Some weeks prier to this fraud being discovered, Mary
Atkinson had entered upon a house in Kendal, furnished
it in style, and then disposed of the furniture, by night,
to private individuals, and by thew means defrauded
several tradesmen who had placed confidence in her re-
presentations. She also induced a lady, a resident of
Kendal, to entrust her with a package of clothing for
the lady's son, which she offered to carry to the metro-
polis, where, she asserted, she wan going to receive a
large amount of money. Three years after the death_ a

During the cruise of the Phcenix in the White Sea the
exertions made were principally confined to enforcing
the blockade, which has up to the time of leaving been
done most strictly, and in destroying the coasting trade
between Archangel, Onega, and the ports in Norway.
She has destroyed a great number of small fishing craft,
principally laden with fish, intended for the markets at
Archangel, and which has had the effect of making fish
exceedingly dear there. The privation is greatly felt by
the Russians, as the fasts ordered by their religion are
very numerous, and on most of these occasions fish cen-
stitutes almost their only article of food. She has also
destroyed several fishing ports and villages, which would
bays been spared had not the villagers and fishermen, on
the approach of the boats for the purpose of purchasing
supplies, fired ou the boat's crew. On one of these occa-
sions a seaman named Horton was unfortunately killed
by a Title ball through his head. This was the only casualty.
On the 27th of September last the ships forming the
seqrnoase droil were compelled to leave their anchorage
at
Island in consequence of the severity of the wea-
ther, the Phoenix losing an anchor and cable, and being
forced to run to Soriatoi Nos,
where she remained until

Oct. 10, with the allied ;

French frigate Cleopatre, the steamers
tee and Pe-
trone, and the English frigate Meander "th
st
Pbcenix and Arid, also the collier Nautilus inleoamw,es
in
company together, except the French part of the squadron
which had previously left. The Phoenix rolled so heavily
as to carry away her foretopmast, and spring her main-
topmast,y thereby endangering the lives of seven seamen
on the foretopsailjard at the time. On the morning of
her departure from the White Sea a keen frost was ex-
perienced, the thermometer being 10 deg. below freezing
point. The whole coast was deeply covered with snow.
Heavy showers of snow have followed them as far as the
Shetlands, with a very low temperature.

The report of the committee of shareholders appointed
on the 12th of September last states that a majority of
the proprietors at the last meeting having indicated an
opinion adverse to an amalgamation with the Little
North-Western, the committee have not thought it in-
cumbent upon them to investigate the subject, but they
by no means underrate the importance of maintaining
the most friendly relations with the Little North-
Western. The committee report that the traffic between
Liverpool and Newcastle-upon-Tyne does not pass over
the line, owing to the want of cordial co-operation on
the part of the Newcastle and Carlisle Company, and not
from any unwillingness of the Lancaster and Carlisle
Company to exchange such traffic. It does not appear
to the committee that traffic from Liverpool has been
diverted by the London and North Western Company,
with the exception of cotton from Liverpool to the Con-
tinent, which was for a period sent over the Manches-
ter, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire line, instead of the Lan-
caster and Carlisle• line to Leith, fee. shipment to the
Continent. And they also report that difference of
opinion between the Edinburgh and Glasgow and Scot-
tish Central on one side, and the Caledonian on the other,
has caused and still causes diversion of traffic to the east,
to the detriment of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway.
The committee recommend that arrangements should
be entered into with the Kendal and Windermere
Company under the existing Parliamentary powers, by
which the passenger and mineral traffic of the Lake dis-
trict might be further greatly developed, and a very
large excursion traffic in the summer months be brought
on the line from the manufacturing districts of Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire. The committee also recommend
the issue of season tickets to the Lake district as a fur-
ther means of encouraging the traffic. The committee
recommend that a strong effort should be made to effect
better arrangements with the proprietors of the Pre:-ton
station ; and that, if such arrangements; cannot be made
amicably, they recommend that advantage should be
taken of the first application to Parliament by any of
the companies who are proprietors of the station to get
the position of the railway placed upon an equitable
basis. The committee observe with satisfaction that the
directors, on the occasion of a probable clashing of in-
terests with the London and North-Western, had sus-
spended forwarding the minutes of the Lancaster and
Carlisle board to the London and North-Western board
(which had previously, as a matter of courtesy, and
not of legal right, been so forwarded), and also placed
the legal case of the company in Parliament in the
hands of a solicitor unconnected with the London and
North-Western Company. They report that at pre-
sent the Lancaster and Carlisle Company is unable
to interchange traffic at Preston to and from Liver-
pool with the East Lancashire Railway. The London
and North-Western now pay the East Lancashire 3,000/,
per annum for non-interchange of traffic with the
Lancaster and Carlisle at the Preston station ; of this
3,0001. per annum mid by the London and North:Wes-
tern they receive 1,5b0/. back from the Lancaster and
Carlisle, and about 1,5001. from the Caledonian. To ob-

that the Liverpool traffic to Preston ought net to be sent
10 miles round, greatly to the inconvenience of the pub-
lic, and clearly to the detriment of the Lancaster and
Carlisle interests. The principle must be established that
ail rail ways entering the Preston station are to be received
on an equal footing by the Lancaster and Carlisle Com-
pany. The committee think the renewal of the present
octuple treaty expedient foe the sake of avoiding useless
competition, and apportioning to eaela line of railway its
due proportion of traffic ; the only question, therefore,
seems to be one of terms, which they think should be left
in the hands of the directop. The committee suggest that
it would be desirable noyv, that the share capital in the
company held by the Lordon and North-Western Com-
pany• amounts to 350,0001,, that the number of directors
nominated at the board should be reduced. It appears
obvious to the committee that it is the interest of the
Lancaster and Carlisle to promote, cultivate, and main-
tain friendly relations; with all companies, both north and
south, and especially so with the London and North-
Western Company, looking at its connexions and
ramifications in the south, as well as its pecuniaryin-
terest in the northern lines. The committee thank the
directors for their general policy and management of the
line, and for their having maintained it free from all gua-
rantees and amalgamations. The committee state that they
hairs) received from the directors and officers of the com-
pany every information and facility for inquiry without
the slightest reserve; and, in conclusion, express their
unabated confidence in the undertaking, provided the
same leading principles which have hitherto guided the
directors in their management and policy shall be still
kept in view and maintained.

Mr. George Malby, sexton of the district church of St.
Matthew, Brixton, deposed that he knew the person of
the late Mr. William Raven, who lived at Stockwell-
grove, which was without the district church of St. Mat •
thew. The fee payable for the ground to persons resid-
ing in the district was six shillings, while it was
double, or twelve shillings, to those without. He
remembered the application to bury Mr. Ravdn being
made by Mr. Haydon, an undertaker, in consequence
of which witness went with him to the house of Dr.
Vaughan, the incumbent, and introduced Mr. Haydon
to him. The object of the undertaker's interview was
to ascertain, if Dr. Vaughan would take single fees fur
the burial of a body when death took place out of the
district. The doctor's reply was that he could not take
less than double fees. Dr. Vaughan was told in my
presence where deceased died, viz., at Stockwell-grove.
The doctor made answer to the undertaker, '" Don't say
anything about it. If anybody asks you where the
funeral came from say Robert-street; and if they ask
you what the fees were, you are to tell a lie as to pay-
ing double fees." There was a certificate of the regis-
ter of death in the Kennington district, for Stockwell-
grove is in that district. At all events, it is certainly
nct in the district of St. Matthew's, Brixton. The cer-
tificate I have been speaking of is the one required by
the act of Parliament to be produced by the undertaker
from the registrar of the district where the deceased died.
Mr. Clarkson—What became of the certificate brought
by Haydon, the undertaker ?
Witness—He handed it to Dr. Vaughan, in my pre-
sence. The fees were paid at that time, viz., 1/. 15s. ;
that was the amount of the double fees . The single
ground fee is 6s. ; the desk fee for the minister is 3s 6d.;
the clerk's fee, ls. Bd. ; and the sexton's fee is 6s. 4d.
making- altogether 17s. 6d, Mr. Hayden paid Dr:
Vaughan double that sum, or U. 15s. It is the habit of
Dr, Vaughan to keep a rough book, in which is entered
the payment of these fees. That is the rough book pro-
duced. Every interment is entered in that book. At
the date 19th Sept., 1854, I find an entry in Dr.
Vaughan's handwriting as follows :—" William Raven,
Robert-street, 33 years of age, 31. 65." Robert-street is
in the district of St. Matthew. Ido not know what has
become of the certificate of death the undertaker handed
to Dr. Vaughan.
Mr. Charles Rogers, solicitor to the parish of St. Mat-
thew, Brixton, produced a copy of the registry of burial
of Mr. Raven, which be had procured atßrixton church.
It bore the signature of Dr. Vaughan, and was a perfect
copy from the register book, and the whole of the entry,
with the exception of the initials of Mr. Easton, the
'curate, by whom the ceremony seems to have been per-
formed, was in the handwriting of the doctor.
Witnesses in two other cases, in which the entries in
the register and fee book were falsified, were called.
Their testimony was of a similar character to that given
in the last case.

REFORIiATION OF CRIMINALS.—A meeting was held
last week at Hard wicke-court, near Glocester, the object
of which was the formation of a reformatory union for
criminals. Among those present were—Sir J. Paking-
ton, M.P., Sir Thomas Winnington, M.P., Mr. C. H.
Bracebridge, the Rev; Sidney Turner, &c. The meet-
ing took place at the residence of Mr. B. Baker, who, in
conjunction with Mr. G. H. Bengough, established the
first of the existing county institutions for the reforma-
tion of juvenile offenders. The discussion turned upon
the best means of reforming criminals, the proper mods
of preliminary punishment, and the plan to be adopted
to secure those who had been inmates of reformatory it -
stitutions against a relapse into crime when they left
them. The result of the meeting was the formation of
a provisional committee intrusted with the task of organ-
ising a reformatory union, the vocation of which would
be to consider and promote the best means of reforming
criminals, to procure employment' for them, and to re-
store them to society ; also, to promote the praciical
training and preparation of efficient teachers for reforma-
tory institutions. It was agreed that a general meet-
ing: of the society should be held in London next May.
NEW LUNACY COMMISSIONER.—The Lord Chancellor
has appointed Dr. James Wilkes, of the Staffordshire
Lunatic Asylum, to the Commis-ionership in Lunacy,
vacant by the resignation of Dr. Turner.

By advice received at Woolwich from Bermuda it is
understood that the 21st company of Royal Sappers and
Miners, tinder the command of Captain White, Royal
Engineers, were to embark thence on board the Lrig
James on the Ist of the present month. They will ar-
rive in England in the early part of December.
Considerable numbers of Colt's revolvers have been
recently landed at Woolwich and received in store there,
and yesterday several cases containing 50 each were un-
loaded there for reshipment for Balaklava, to the.charge
of her Majesty's storekeeper there.
John Toornas has been promcted to be a retired com-
mander.
A mistaked. has been made in reference to the officer
comm her Majesty's ship lr commanding
Tribune. Capt. H. E.
ge was appointed to that ship last Aug He took the
command about the 20th of Sept.,
and still. retains it.

The following promotions appeard in oar late edition
of yesterday
PROMOTIONS FOR THE CAPTURE OF
KINBOURN.
The following promotions have been made by the

PANAMA..
It appears that the freight business by this route is
progressively increasing, and will receive an impetus from
the recent reduction of the transit rate on coffee and
cocoa, which was made in consequence of the assurances
received by the directors from various quarters that the
quantities of both articles seeking the Panama route
were very great, and that the reduced rate would secure
the entire transport business. The receipts on the line
for August were $125,000. A whole cargo of flour had
been shipped at Baltimore for Callao to go over the rail-
way, and stores were being shipped at New York to be
sent over the railway for vessels in the Pacific..

The second case related to a person named James
Bigby, who died at Guy's Hospital on the 20th Novem-
ber, 1854, and an application was made to Dr. Vaughan
for his burial. The rev. doctor was told at the time
that the deceased died at the hospital, and in the parish
of St. Olave, and he claimed and received double fees,
yet only 6s. was entered in the fee-book as the amount
received, and that was in the doctor's own handwriting.
The third case related to Jane Webb, who also died out
