GUILDHALL.

John Bowman, who was charged yesterday before Mr.
Alderman Finnis with violently assaulting his wife, was
again placed at the bar.
The Alderman stated there could be no doubt that
the prisoner had been guilty of a violent assault on his
wife,!and her irritating conduct towards him was no jus-
tification of what he had done. They were both drunk,
and not considering it, under all the circumstances, an
aggravated assault, he sentenced him to 21 days' im•
prisonment with hard labour.
London, England, 1855-11-01

the Rubject, as another vessel belonging to the company,
of 2,000 tons burden, was expected within a few days
to arrive from the same destination, and under similar
circuinstAnces.

The complainant said he had been misled as to the
time stated in the artic:es.

The chief officer of the ship said it was impossible
that the complainai.t could have been misled, as it had
been emphatically mentioned to him and the oth:r men
at the time that they were acting illegal y, and, in con-
sequence of their perseverance, he had been compelled
to enter them in the log-book as deserters.

Mr. Hob!er said that upon the discharge of the cargo
the Admiralty had given immediate orders that the ♦es-
sel should be taken to Deptford to prepare for another
voyage to the Crimea, and all that had i,een required of
the complainant wai to fulfil his contract, and assist
with the other men in navigating the vessel to and from
that station, but that, although they were paid very high
wages, they had the effrontery, in consequence of the
difficulty which existed of obtaining sailors at Ports-
mouth, to act the dishonest part they had appeared in,
under the impression that they could succeed in com-
pelling the company to come to their terms of remune-
ration.

The Lcrd Mayor said it was quite clear that the com-
plainant bad broken Lis own contract, and that he had
been bound to assist in nav'.gating the vessel to Dept-
ford. The summons must therefore be dismissed; but,
as he thought the complainant and the other men, who
were waiting the decision, had an el in ignorance of the
law, he trusted the company would not withhold the
pay which the persons employed in the way represented
had certainly forfeited.
It, was afterwards stated to the Lord Mayor that the
company had acted upon the suggestion, by paying the
men the wages due ; but that they were determined to
resist any future attempt, and that those who should
violate the laws in future must take the serious conse-
quences.

STATE OF ST. PANCREAS WORKHOUSE.

INSPECTION BY THE RATEPAYERS.

In consequence of a placard issued by the board of
directors of St. Pancras, denying certain statements as
to the state of the receiving wards and infant dormitories
of the workhouse, and soliciting a public inspection, a
number of ratepayers agreed to accept the invitation,
and accordingly proceeded to the above workhouse and
inspected some of the departments of that establishment,
when it was found that the statements con4ained in the
report of the medical officer, Mr. Waldegrave, were fully
sustained, and that the workhouse was far from being
in that satisfactory state which the ratepayers had been
led to believe that it was, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing report :--

nister caused their leaders to be brought to him,
and he told them where work might be obtained.
On that, the greater part of the men went in bands
of 30 or 40 to the places indicated. Placards were
afterwards posted up, informing workmen that they
might obtain work in various specified places. A
committee of the Cortes on the bill for the establish-
ment of banks of issue had struck out all the
clauses relaive to the Bank of San Fernando, but
bad adopted the others which provide for the esta-
blishment of similar banks in places where they
may be needed. The Gazette states that an en-
gineer of Rio Santo, having remarked that the cho-
lera never visits manufactories and workshops in
which sulphur is employed, has suggested that the
smell of it, may be a preservative against the malady.
A letter of the 26th, received in advance of the re-
gular mail, says :

"In the Cortex, yesterday, the bill authorising the
company for the canalisation of the Ebro to raise a loan
was ad,.pted without discus ion and the debate on the
bill relative to substitutes for the army was resumed.
The attendance of deputies was not numerous. The
Cointnittee on the Buog,t ha, accepted the plans of the
Minister of Finance. The last return of the sales of
nail, nal and ecclesiastical property shows that the
number of estates sold was 2,079, and that they rea-
lise,'
.40,680,828 reals, or 19,670,772 reals more than
the upset price fixed by the government agents. Va-
rious bills for regulating the liberty of the press have
been presented to the Cortes ; and they all propose
that offences, except those of libel, shall be tried by a
jury. The cholera is sensibly declining. The Nacion,
a ministerial journal, referring to an assertion in an op-
poaitiun paper, declares that the Spanish Government
is on the most cordial terms with that of France.
The last news from Porto Rico are satisfactory; seven
artillerymen who had taken part in the last military in-
surrection had been shot."

THE XTRAORDINARY CASE OP IMPOS-

TUBE AT IVOLF6RHAMPTON.

At the Wolverhampton Police-court yesterday (Wed-
nesday) Alice Grey, alias Alice Christie, alias Anstasia
Haggard, alias Mary Anu O'Brien, alias Jane Turean,
was again brought up before Mr. John Leigh, stipen-
diary magistrate, and a full bench of magistrates, and
was again remanded for a week.
Mr. Hayes conducted the case for the prosecution,
and called the Rev. J. A. Morris, who indignantly
denied having done otherwise than given her a shilling,
and ordred some refreshment for her at a coffee-house
in Birmingham, as detailed below. The boys who, she
Eelegeo, robbed her were also examined, and the notes
that were taken by the committing magistrate put in ;
but in order to wait for the original depo-itions taken
at Stafford, where the boys were convicted, the woman
was remanded.

A large proportion of the communications which,
from the time of her first examination, a w. ek ago, to
her second, yesterday, have been received by the chief
constable of Wolverhampton, has been for wards 1 in
consequence of the publication in the papers of those
particulars of her history which were known up to the
time of her first appearance in the Wolverhampton court
in her changed, but truthful character.
The career of this accomplished impostor appears to
have been a truly extraordinary one, and would seem to
have been run throughout the greater part of the United
Kingdom.
She is by no means unknown in London. The lady
referred to in the first examination as resi.ling near to
Regent's-park has recognised in her photograph the like-
ness of Jane Tarean, the servant who first robbed her
arid then absconded from her service. Mr. Goodman,
the chief clerk at the Mansion-house justice room, iden-
tifies her as a young woman who, under the name of
Mary Ann O'Brien, attended the Mansion-house in 1850
and gave a man into custody on the charge of stealing
her trunk upon her arrival from Ireland. "He was re-
manded (adds Mr. Goodman) for further inquiries and
ultimately discharged, and I sent her back to Cork to
save her from ruin. She was also supplied with funds
to assist her upon her arrival there. In March, 1851, I
was in the performance of my duties as assistant clerk of
the indictments at the Old Bailey, when the same per-
son charged four women, who were committed from the
Thames Police with a robbery under similar circum-
stinces." Until her identity was deposed to by five other
persons she stoutly denied that she had ever been before
out of Ireland, but afterwards coolly admitted that she
was the " Mary Ann O'Brien," and the prisoners were
discharged. "A few days afterwards (concludes Mr.
Goodman) I saw an account in Saunders's Newsletter,
a Dul.lin paper, which I showed to the Lad Mayor,
and by his direction wrote to the committing magistrate.
The reply to that letter was that the prisoner had been
acquitted, he having proved that at the time that this
woman swore that he robbel her be was at mass."

THE WAR IN ASIA.

According to the latest accounts it would seem
that the Russians, after the serious repulse re-
ceived from General Williams, had not made any
new attack upon Kars, which was, however, very
rigorously blockaded, and fodder for the cavalry
was very scarce indeed. The Russians are said to
be waiting for reinforcements from Gumri. Cholera
was making sad havoc among their ranks in the
camp along the Kars-cbai. This disease also mani-
fested itself at Kars on the 26th of September.
Omer Pacha's army is 8,000 strong, but a rein-
forcement of 18,000 was looked for from the
Crimea, and 24,000 more from Constantinople.
Intelligence from Persia only reaches down to the
26th of July, but is void of interest beyond the
cessation of cholera.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Oct. 31.

MANSION•HOUSE.—Mr. James L. O'Beirne, se-
cretary to the Steam Navigation Company, appeared
before the Lord Mayor upon a summons to answer the
complaint of a seaman, who had been engaged to go to
the Black Sea.
a
Mr. Parry appeared for the complainant, Mr. nobler
for the defence.
James Welsh said—l am a seaman, residing at t
and to
On the 22d of May I shipped on board the
Cape of Good Hope, • transport, at Southampton,
returnunder tao
a portcontractintothgeo theutonited Kingdom.c A. fort-
night
ago we returned to Portsmouth, and landed cur
cargo (a number of invalid troops) there. We then
washed the ship and cleared her out. The vessel was then
ordered to Deptford, but as I did not want to go to Lon-
don I asked the captain about my wages, and he said if
I came with the ship to Deptford he would pay me up
to the time; but if not, he would deduct from my
wages whatever it might be necessary to pay extra for
the employment of another man. The ship had been or-
dered to Deptford for repairs, and there were several of
the seamen who were under eircumstancee of the same
kind as myself. All the men who belonged to London
came to Deptford in the ship and were duly paid off, but
as those who resided at Southampton would not go on
with the vessel as the expenses from London were not
to be paid, their wages were withheld.
Mrlflobler said the company had resolved to re.
sist upon principle, and in order to show that the men
who belonged to Southampton were not to set the law
at defiance, or to attempt to extort from the com-
pany a larger amount of wages than they were
entitled to, or to compel the company to employ other
hands at a much increased expense. The facts were,
that the defendant and all the other men, who waited
and were interested in the decision of the Lord Mayor,
had signed articles in the presence of the shipping mas-
ter, for the term of 12 months, and, therefore, the time
of contract had not expired ; and they had, in reality,
deserted the ship, and were liable, under the terms f
their contract, to be imprisoned for any term not exceed-
ing 12 weeks, in addition to the penalty of the forfeiture
of th it wages. (Hero the articles were produced, and
read by Mr. Goodman.) The company had, however,
directed him to act in no spirit of hostility to the men,
but to extend to them the liberality which ha been ex
hibited _upon, all former eccasions. It. however,

GUN-BOATS FOR THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.

The ship building yards of Liverpool, since the termi-
nation of the seven years' war, have been restricted to
the construction of vessels of commerce, if we except the
troop-ships Res ,lute and Assistance, built this year by
Mr. Laird for the Admiralty. Mora warlike prepara-
tions are now perceptible in the Liverpool and Birken-
head building yards of that gentleman, in the shape of
six or seven wood gun-boats, of massive appearance, but
which are evidently to be of light draught of water. They
are being rapidly proceeded with, and will no doubt be
completed by March.
On the Tyne, Messrs. T. and W. Smith, of St. Peter's,
have received am order to build six floating batteries, to
be readyin April. They will be exceedingly strong, and
their timbers will- be made two feet thick of the best oak
and nine inches of iron plates. They have nearly all
been laid down.

RUSSIA.

A supplement of the Invalide Russe, of the 21st
of October, publisLes a continuation of the series
of telegraphic despatches forwarded from Nicolaieff
to St. Petersburg, by order of the Emperor :
" Nieulaieff, Oct. 21, 5 5 p.m.
"Up to noon to-day the main body of the
enemy's forces continued in the same position.
The detachment moored at the mouth of the Bong
is not so strong as it was yesterday, consisting of 5
steamers, 3 gun-boats, and 4 mortar-boats. In
Oezakow Roads there are 9 steamers, 5 steam-tugs;
and 8 transports at anchor.
"We had no losses yesterday during the can-
nonade of yesterday at Volosch-kaia Poiut.
"At half-past one, a steamer, a gun-boat, and
three mortar-boats, moored at the mouth of the
Bong, weighed anchor, and came up the river. On
their arrival at the same pint as yesterday, at
half-past two, they again opened fire on our bat-
tery. After a short cannonade, on both sides, they
returned down the river.

" The vessels that eutered the mouths of the
Dnieper yesterday returned to the mouth of the
Bong, after taking a few soundings ; but two guu-
boats again entered the former river to-diy.
" Out. 21, 5.15 p.m.

" In order to know the fate of the garrison of
Kinbourn a flag of truce was sent from Ockzakow on
the 18th. We have received in reply a report from
General Kokhanovitch, the commandant of the
place, now a prisoner of war, froui which it ap-
pears that after two days' bombardment, all the
guns in the fortress being dismounted, the ram-
parts destroyed, and the buildings in flames, there
was no possibility of continuing the defence, nor of
offering a resistance to an assault on the ruined
fortifications. _ _

" The enemy having approached to within a dis-
tance of 400 sagenes sageno is seven feet) with
all his fleet, sent a flag of truce to demand the ca-
pitulation of the fortress. The commandant having
no means of replying to the enemy's fire, fel t him-
self compelled, with the object of saving his mon,
to accept the proffered conditions; according to
which the garrison surrendered as prisoners with
all the honours of war, the officers retaining their
swords.

" Our loss in men during the bombardment of
Kinbourn was not considerable. The exact number
of killed is not known, but there are 61 wounded
among the prisoners. Yesterday the troops landed
by the enemy left their camp, and entered the
town of Kinbourn."

A telegraphic despatch sent from Nicholaieff to
St. Petersburg, at noon on the 22d of October, by
order of the Emperor, states that up to 4 p.m. of
the 22d there had been no change in the position
of the allied squadron.

TIIN IRON AND CO_Ab TRADE.

--- -©

WOLVERHAMPTON, WednesdAy Afternoon.—An im-
portant meeting of the iron trade of South Staffordshire
has just been held at the Swan Hotel, in this town ; the
influence of the resolution come to at which, it is hoped,
will not be to add to the embarrassment—no doubt only
temporary—which is at present felt at some few esta-
blishmeLts iu the trade.

Recently the workmen throughout the South Stafford•
shire and East Worce,tershire districts have waited, in
deputati n 4, upon their several employers a,king for an
advance of wages They state that they have a right to
this, because of the present price of manufactured iron
being higher than it was duripg the last and the previ,us
quarter ; and they supplemented their apnea* by advert-
ing to the existing high price of provisions.
The reply which the men generally received gave them
no encouragement to expect that their application would
be met. Each eniploy,r, however, expressed his deter:-
mination to abide by the decision which the trade, as a
body, might come to upon the subject. At the works,
however, of Messrs. Foster, at Stourtnidge, and at other
works in that neighbourhood and at Brierley Hill, the
meu have given notice for an advance of wages, and
their notice having expired without their demand being
complied with they are now out on strike.

With the view of ascertaining the sense, of the trade
generally upon the best course to 'be now pursued, a
meeting was called for, and held this afternoon, at the
Swan Hotel in this town. The ironinasters of the dis-
trict attended in large numbers, and, after an animated
discussion, unanimously passed the following resolu-
tion That, looking at the position of the iron trade,
as affected by the present monetary state of the cmintry,
and also to the fact that the wages now paid to puddlers
are higher than the usual prop ,rti.m to the declared
price of iron, the claims of the puddlers be most strenu-
cusly resisted."

THE WAR IN ASIA.

According to the latest accounts it would seem
that the Russians, after the serious repulse re-
ceived from General Williams, bad not made any
new attack upon Kars, which was, however, very
rigorously blockaded, and fodder for the cavalry
was very scarce indeed. The Russians are said to
be waiting for reinforcements from Gumri. Cholera
was making sad havoc among their ranks in the
camp along the Kars-cbai. This disease also mani-
fested itself at Kars on the 26th of September.
Omer Paella's army is 8,000 strong, but a rein-
forcement of 18,000 was looked for from the
Crimea, and 24,000 more from Constantinople.
Intelligence from Persia only reaches down to the
26th of July, but is void of interest beyond the
cessation of cholera.

THE BLOWING UP OF OUAKOFF.

The Oesterreichische Correspondenz, of the 28th,
has the following :

" ODESSA, Oct. 18.
"At sunrise two violent explosions were heard ; the
windows shook, the doors of some of the houses flew
open. The telegraph subsequently informed us that the
Russians had blown up their fortifications in Oczakoff,
and had renounced the idea of defending the Straits of
Kinbourn.

" It is said that only the lower part of the fortifica•
tion3 were destroyed ; the place itself, whist lies on is
considerable elevation, was spared.
" It is further stated that the allies bad disembarked
40,000 men at Krasnoe and Kalantscbak. last-
men'ioned place is only 37 versts from Perekop.
General Luders is said to have the cowman d of the
troops stationed in the neighbourhood, some of. whom
are grenadiers.

"The news that a bjttle has been fought on the river
Kaiantschak is daily expected here.
" Travellers who have recently passed Nicola.l.eff re-
late that the greatest energy is displayed in fortifying
the Ad mil alitats-Stadt (Admiralty-city).
"The Emperor himself sometimes appears in the
trenches and encourages the soldiers. It is also related
that he often visits the military hospitals, and speaks
words of comfort to the sick. In one of the wards is
an officer who received most frightful wounds at Seba.s-
tepol. The face of this poor fellow, which bad been ter-
ribly burned, was covered as the Monarch passed, h-s
order that he might not he seen. The Emperor, how.
ever, lifted the linen covering, and on seeing that the
eyes were completely destroyed he grasped the safferer
by the hand, and shed tears. The blind man, who
heart that the Emperor was weeping, 'messed his hand
to his lips ant blessed him. Alexander then took the
Order of St. George from his own breast, and, placing
it in the band of the officer, retired."
