OCTOBER 20 1885.

' a. ad cart belonging to North and Light, his employers,
An Charles-street, Whitechapel. Tile prisoner drew up
in the middle of the street, took a large stone bottle from
the middle of the cart, and carried it through several
courts and alleys to the Crooked Bidet public-house, in
Johnson's-change, Rosewary-lane. He closely followed
in the footsteps of the prisoner, and Ea w him pass the
bar, go into the parlour, and deposit the bottle under
(one of the seats. He waited till the prisoner came out
of the house, and asked him what the bottle contained.
I The prisoner gasped for breath, and, after some hesi-
tittion, said the bottle was quite empty. He took
the prisoner into custody, and upon uncorking
-the bottle found it to contain two gallons of strong rum,
.`2.5 degrees of strength over proof. He asked the pri-
; senor where he obtained the rum, and he replied that a
'' man employed him to carry it to Westminster, and that
be was to receive a shilling for the job. Foa,y added
that he had since ascertained the prisoner conveyed a
cask of rum iu one of his employer's waggons from the
i London Dock to Westminster. Oa the way the cask
was bored, and 7 gallons taken out. This system of
robbery had been carried on to a considerable extent
lately. Wines, brandips, and rums bad been plundered
on their way from the docks to the houses of wine mer-
chants and licensed victuallers.
Mr. James Light, of the firm of North and Light, said
the prisoner was in their employ, and had orders to con-
vey a cask of ruin from the London Dock to Westmin-
ster, on Thursday morning.
Mr. Robert Turner, landlord of the Bricklayers' Arms
public-house, in Stratton Ground, Westminster, stated
that he purchased a cask of rum of Messrs. Whiting
and Roberts, wine and spirit merchants. It ought to
have contained, as per invoice, 91.1 gallons. When it
was delivered to him by the prisoner, from North and
Light's cart, it contained only 84i, being a deficiency of
7 gallons. The witness produced a sample of the ruin,
which exactly corresponded with that in the btotle.
A gauger from the dock proved that the cask of rum
consigned to Mr. Turner contained glet gallons when i
was delivered to the prisoner. .
Mr. Yardley cemtnitted the prisoner for trial.

SAD CASE OF SUICIDE BY A MOTHEI?

WITH AN INFANT.

HEREFORD, Thursday Evening.—The good folks of
the town and neighbourhood of Kington, in this county
(on the road from London to Aberyswith, and a delight-
ful spot well known to tourists and invalids), were this
morning thrown into a most painful state of sorrow, in
consequence of the landlady of the Oxford Arms Hotel
there, an exceedingly lady-like person, and one univer-
sally esteemed, having been found (with her infant child)
drowned in the River Arrow, a celebrated trout stream,
running at the foot of the eminence on which-the town
is built.

It appears that shortly after the confinement of the
unfortunate woman, having a flourishing business to
attend to, which necessarily brought with it some
amount of care, she went to visit a sister at Birming-
ham, in the hope that change of air and excitement
would prove beneficial to her health. On Tuesday she
left Birmingham on her return home, and had gone as
far as Leominster, who she felt herself much indisposed,
and sent a message to that effect at Kington, in conse-
quence of which Mr. Evans fetched her in a gig the
same day.

On Wednesday evening she was observed to be not so
well as could be wished, and at the request of her
friends a medical man was sent for, who prescribed a
sleeping draught, as it was thought that the fatigue con-
sequent upon suckling a heavy child had superinduced
ennui. It is believed that she took the draught shortly
before retiring to rest, which was rather earlier than
usual.

Early this morning a charwoman going to work ob-
served the front door open, and thining, perhaps, that
some one had been robbing the house, she aroused the
servants, who were sorely puzzled to account for it, the
house being very full of company, and no one having in-
timated any intention of leaving early. Mr. Evans was
called, and for a moment he sugge,ted that perhaps a
gentleman named Beavan, who was staying in the house,
had got up early and was going shooting ; but when he
four /lk that neither his wife nor child were beside him in
bed, histeelings can hardly be described. He could not
guess Alit had happened, though he felt an indefinable
misgiving hanging over him.
He rose with haste, dressed himself, and at once insti-
tuted a strict inquiry, but no one could give him the least
intelligence of his wife ; in fact no one had seen or heard
of her departure. In this state of suspense persons were
sent to see if any tidings could be gained of the unfortu-
nate woman, who was not beard of until about 6 o'clock,
when she was found lying drowned in her night-dress,
with her child about two or three yards from her, in the
River Arrow ' • the water at that spot not being more
than two feet deep.
No reason can possibly be assigned for this deed ex-
cept that it was committed while in a state of temporary
derangement, as deceased had an excellent home and
was thriving in business.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 14th, in the Breslau
Gazette, says :—" Except M. de Hubner, the am-
bassador at Paris, all the representatives of Aus-
tria to the great powers, the chiefs of the em-
bassies of St. Petersburg, London, and Berlin, and
M. de Prokesch are now at Vienna. There are
good reasons for thinking that they are waiting
here for the result of certain negotiations which are
now going on between the courts of Vienna and
Paris. There is no doubt that the alliance of the
2d December has entered into a new phase of de-
velopment, which will strengthen still more the
bonds of friendship and of confidence which exist
between Austria and France."

LATEST NEWS.

SURRENDER OF KINBURN.

,500 PRISONERS TAKEN,

DESPATCH FROM ADMIRAL LYONS.

ADMIRALTY, OCT. 20TH, 1855.

The Secretary of the Admiralty begs to ac-
quaint the Editor of The Sun that the intelli-

gence contained in the accompanying document

has been received in this office :

Off the Mouth of the Dnieper,

17th Oct., 1855.

The three forts on the Kinburn Spit, mount-
ing upwards of 70 guns, and garrisoned by 1,500
men, under General Kokonovitch, have this day
capitulated to the Allied Forces.

The day before yesterday a flotilla of gun-
vessels forced the entrance into the Dnieper, and ,
the Allied troops landed on the Spit to the south-
ward of the forts ; thus, by their simultaneous
operation, the retreat of the garrisons and the ar-
rival of reinforcements were effectually cut off, so
that the forts being bombarded to-day by the
, mortar-vessels, gun-vessels, and French floating
batteries, and being closely cannonaded by the
steam line-of-battle ships and frigates (having
only 21t. of water under their keels), were soon
obliged to surrender.

The casualties in the fleets were very few,
but the enemy had 45 killed and 130 wounded.
A steam squadron, under the orders of Rear-Ad-
mirals Stewart and Pellion, lie at anchor in 'the
Dnieper, and command the entrance to Nicolaieff
and Kherson.

Tho Forts are occupied by the Allied Troops.
The prisoners will be sent to Constantinople

immediately.

LORD CLARENDON'S DESPATCH.
FOREIGN OFFICE, OCT. 20.
Lord Clarendon has received this day the fol-
lowing intelligence from her Majesty's Charge
d'Affaires at Vienna, dated Oct. 19, 1855
" The Allied fleets bombarded the three forts

of Kinburn on th© 17th.
" The garrison of 1,600 men and 70 guns,
under General Konowitch, capitulated, and are

sent prisoner to Constaninople.
" The loss of the allies was unimportant.
"The Russians lost 120 men.

"The forts were taken possession of by the

Allies.

The fleets are anchored at the entrance of the

Dneiper."

'OWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.--Oct. 19.

I (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
CciwEs CAsTLE.-=-The Marquis Conyngham has, am
hear, taken this beautiful marine residence of the Go-
vernment, on a 21 years' lease; but as some of the mem-
bers of the Royal Yacht Squadron come time back ex-
presied a wish to obtain it for a club-house for the Squa-
dron; hittlordAlp hawtMo-stlialidsomely arm-13d it to the
R.Y.IS. As the Castle does not contain half the accom-
modition that the club requires, it is generally believed
that ithe majority of the members will prefer the Old
club-house. -
COWES HARBOUR.—TO WHOM DOES THE SOIL BELONGS
—4' 'r son e y, ar,, the corporation of Newport bas exer-
c sedi a control over Cowes Harbour, asserting that
" thbed and soil of it, from high-water mark on one
side 40 high-water mark on the other side, was the pro-
pert3i of the - mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the
boroigh of Newport." No one (not being a corporation
man) could make any erection on it, or even drive a
stake into the gravelly banks of the. harbour, without
first obtaining th consent of the corporation of New-
pbrt,l or being threatened with an action by them for
trespassing on their- property, though the party or his
forefathers might have purchased the sakrproperty years
befoie. Tne inhabitants of Cowes disputed this inter-
ferebce of the authorities of an inland town with the
wan s and requirements of a seaport. Some few years
ago his corporation brought an action against the late
Mr. K. H. Ward or constructing-the landing-place at
IG
the tt.nntain Wharf, but they could not succeed iu their
vishbs to oblige him to remove it, and from that time
mylhave confined -themselves to threats and abstained
~
on suits at law. A shbrt time since they threatened
) bung an action against the Trinity Beard to oblige
ieril to remove the landing-place they had had eon-
;meted to facilitate the landing of the Queen and suite
on the Royal yachts, but they have not actually corn-
lanced proceedings. Now the Admiralty has taken
ie inattbt into their hands, and, in consequence of some '
=plaints, have sent an officer (Captain Scott) down to
po t on some encroachments, and also on some gravel
an s which obstruct the navigation at low water. We
tad rstand that a dredging-machine will be sent down
f
;0 remove; therbanks. This will put the question to an -
Issue.

t C OSING OF GRASTYARDg.—In consequence of notices
havi g been served on the churchwardens of Northwond
tha no interments would be allowed in the churchyard
afte the Ist of May, 1857, nor in that of Cowes church
of the Ist of May, 1856,.a,burial board was elected by
the entry to purchase a piece of laird for future inter- 3
_wen s, which they yesterday did, very desirably situated
onto east side of the Newport-roado at about one mile
distance from the centre of West .Cowes. It consists
of 3i acres of meado3v land and a quarter of an acre of
wood. The price agreed on for the former was 751. per
acre, and at the rate of 501. per acre for the latter. It
has a large frontage to the main road.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Correspondence of the 16th says :
" Several journals persist in publishing the report
that the Cabinet of Prussia, either from its own
suggestion or at the request of the Russian Cabinet,
has addressed propositions of mediation to the
Western Powers, and is constantly endeavouring
to prepare the way for negotiations for peace. Al-
though there can be no doubt that the Prussian
Government sincerely deplores the continuation of
a sanginary war, which entails so many sacrifices,
yet the above assertions are devoid of any real
foundation. It is certain that no overture on the
part of the Russian Government to the effect
spoken of has been received, and Prussia would not
feel any inclination to spontaneously undertake a
work of mediation, which, under existing circum-
stances, presents no chance of success."
A letter froth Berlin of the 16th says :
"A certain number of employes of the electric
telegraph have just contracted engagements with
the Russian General Guhardt to go to Russia. It
appears that the Russian Government intends
immediately to increase the number of its tele-
graphic lines."

MY EXILE IN SIBERIA
By ALEXANDER HERZEN. _

"These volume, as presenting the experiences of a patriotic and
intellectual Russian in conflict with his Government, contain all the
sources of popularity. They sparkle with clear thonzhts and keen
allusions; they are severe; they are ironical; they abound in illus-
trations and incidents, and free portraits of Imper al dignities, we
gain from this narrative of persecution and exile a better idea of the
governing system of Russia than from any previous work. It is
rich in curious and authentic detail."—Leader.
Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Colburn.

PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFFS DESPATCH

ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 18.
The fortress of Kinburn resisted the Allies by
a very heavy fire up to the 17th.
At noon on that day the fire ceased, and at 3
p.m. the enemy (the Allies) entered the place.
Up to the 17th there was nothing new in the
Crimea.

DANTZIC, FRIDAY MORNING.

The 'Vulture has just arrived.
Admiral Dundas is at Ledsund, and returns
to Nargen on the 21st inst.
The weather is extremely bad, and heavy snow
storms are prevalent.

BERLIN, FRIDAY EVENING.
A telegraphic despatch received here from St.
Petersburg states that the Russian troops are
leaving the shores of the Baltic, and everything
shows that no fear is entertained of any further
operations of the Allies in that quarter for the
present season..

The Civil Governors of Uleaborg and Wasa, on
the Gulf of Finland, have been ennobled by the

Emperor for their activity and vigilance whils

the Allied cruisers were on that coast.

It is stated on good nuthority that King Leo-

pold of Belgium has lately been actively and. per-
sonally exerting himself, with a view to the re-

establishment of peace.

into France, and intended to be employed in ship
building.
The Bank of France yesterday issued the follow-
ing notice The Council general in its sitting
of the 18th October, 1855, has raised to 6 per cent.
per annum the rate of discount and of interest on
advances."

Some foreign newspapers have remarked on the
absence from Paris of Count de Hatzfeld, the Prus-
sian Minister. The Pays say that he merely went
to Cologne, on the occasion of the King's visit, and
that being there be took a few days' leave of absence
to go to Berlin on private business.
A letter from Constantinople, of the Bth, in the
Pays, says :—" Austria has again begun to raise
pretensions which have been vigorously opposed by
the Porte ; she demands nothing less than to
occupy Bosnia, under the pretext that the distur-
bances which incessantly agitate that province ex-
ercise great influence on leer own subjects. It is
now officially announced that Baron de Koller, who
has lately been fulfilling the functions of Inter-
nuncio, has been recalled, and that he is to be re-
placed by M. Prokesch Osten."
BOURSE, Oct. 19, Two o'Clock.—There has been
but little business doing to-day ; the market was
heavy, but prices were maintained on Rentes, as it
was known that the Bank continued to advance
with the same proportion on Rentes, and had only
curtailed the facilities of loans on deposits of Rail-
way Shares and Debentures.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.

Last night the oratorio of Elijah was performed by
this renowned society for the first time this season. The
mere announcement of the fact would, of itself, have
been sufficient to have secured an overflowing audience.
The principal solo parts were sustained by Madame C.
Novello, Miss Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Weiss,
and, therefore, we need say nothing on that head ; in-
deed to do so would be an act of supererogation. The
concerted and choral pieces were performed with such
admirable effect and precision that left nothing to be
desired ; and the only thing that lessened the grand
effect produced was the forte accompaniments of the
orchestra. However, last night's performance was a
great treat. The hall, as we have before stated, was
crowded to suffocation.

JOZEAU'S COPAHINE, or JACCHARATED
C tPSCLES.—Copaiba and Cubebs are, doabtiess, the best
remedies for the cure of certain diseases, but these drugs are, in
their natural state, of a repulsive taste and odour, an I occasion after
indigestion, colicky pains, nausea, and gastric disturbance. Useless
attempts have been made, both in France arid England, to conceal
these defects. Mothes and Raquin enveloped their substances in
capsules of Gelatine and Gluten which increased the drawbacks of
the Coaalba, by adding the indigestible nature of the capsules. Mr.
JOZEAU, more fortunate than his predecessors, has succeeded in
rendering these valuable therapeutic agents perfectly 'nocuous, in
increasing at the same time, in his Copahine, all their curative prin-
ciples-. This important preparation has been adopted by the Aca-
demy of Medicine, after more than 1,008 trials in the hospitals of
Paris, upon the report of Messrs. teoulay, Begin, and Cullerier ; and
it has also lately been tried in the hospitals of London—viz , St.
Bartholomew s, Guy's, and St Thomiis's, under the care of Messrs.
Lloyd, Poland, and Legros Clerk (see " Lancet " 6th .Nov.,e and
10th Dec., 1852.) The Copahine, in the form ofa very tiretty pink
sugar plum, both agreeable to the taste and to the eye, effects a
cure, on an average of six days, without nausea, couciabr g istric
disturbance, et recent as well as chronic cases. One hundred cap-
sules, 4s. 6d. ; 50, 2s. 9d.—To be had of the Inventor, G. Jozeau,

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE
London, England, 1855-01-06

THE PRESIDENT OP THE BOARD OF MAD
AND THE SUNDAY BEER BILL.

During the recent visit of the President of the Board
of Trade to hie constituents at Oxford, he was waited
upon at the residence of the mayor, Mr. C. J. Sadler,
by Messrs. T. T. Latimer, wine merchant ; Mr. Bey.
zand, of the Lamb and Flag Inn ; Mr. Drink water, of
the George Hotel ; Mr. F. Greenwood, of the Maiden-
head Hotel ; and Mr. T. Wright, of the Wheatsheaf
inn—being a deputation from the licensed victuallers of
this city. In adopting this course they had a twofold
object in view—namely, to request Mr. Cardwell to
present, in the absence of the senior member, !Mr.
Langston, a petition, signed by upwards of 3,000 resi-
dents, praying for a repeal of the Sunday Beer Bill, and
likewise to ascertain Mr. Cardwell's individual opinion
on the subject. The deputation were informed by Mr.
Cardwell that he had not taken any active part in the
measure when it was before Parliament, and that he
understood it had been altered to meet the views of
the Licensed Victuallers' Company ; also, that he was
not aware there was so strong a feeling against it
although he had learned through the public press that
dissatisfaction prevailed to some extent. The mayor,
who was present at the conference, explained that a by-
law already existed in Oxford, sufficient to prevent the
desecration of the Sabbath and to punish drunkenness
and immorality, and he bore testimony to the paucity
of complaints of that character which came before
the bench of magistrates. The deputation urged on Mr.
Cardwell that they should be satisfied if they could open
their houses on Sunday from one till hall-past two,
then closing till four—opening armia at four, and close
ling at half-past eleven instead of at ten. They also
represented that the act was so worded that it would
generally be evaded, unless Parliament endeavoured to
meet the universal complaints against the measure,
which did not effect what it purposed to do—
namely, the suppression of drunkenness and immoral-
ity, but inconvenienced the large body of moderate
people for the purpose of keeping in check the insati-
able propensities of the few, who would, by some means
or other, attain their ends. The right honourable
gentleman replied that he should be happy, as one of
their members, in the absence of Mr. Langston, to pre-
sent the petition ; but with respect to their suggestions
and to their impression that the bill did not effect what
was intended, he would submit them to LoTd Palmer.
ston, to whose department this matter more properly
belonged. The deputation was received with great
frankness and courtesy by Mr. Cardwell, and: left under
the impression that he was favourable to the views, and
would, when the subject came again before Parliament,
them before the house, so that the measure might be
modified and altered to meet the requirements of the
public, without interfering so much with the privileges,
the necessities, and enjoyments of any class of the com-
munity.
