COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—Nov. 3.

(FROM OITR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Our fashionable visitors are fast leaving us for the
season. During this week the Earl and Countess of
Desart and family have left Cambridge Villa ; G. R.
Stephenson, Esq., and family, Harriet Lodge ; Colonel
4awler, the 4th Cliff Cottage ; Lady Franklin, No. 1,
Solent-terrace ; Captain Harby, Rosetta Cottage ; W.
Dansey, Esq., Egypt House ; Admiral Williams,
Busigney House ; and there are but few applications for
houses for the winter, though they are offered at almost
nominal rents.

MORE GUN-BOATS.—The Messrs. White are construct-
ing four more gun-boats for the Government. They
could not undertake to build any more, from the dim.
culty they have in obtaining shipwrights.
NEWPORT.—A MAIDEN, A WIFE, AND A WIDOW IN
FOUR SHORT DAYS.—The uncertainty of life has been
forcibly impressed on us within the last few days by the
Leath of Mr. Edwin Caplin, of this town, in the prime
f life. He was married on Thursday, the 25th nit., to
Frances, youngest daughttr of Mr. Wm. Hill, of Stone,
near
.Newport. They left the i,land directly after the
vedding, proceeding by steamer from Cowes to South-
ampton, intending to spend a week or two in London ;
but on reaching Winchester Mr. C. found himself too
.11 to proceed any farther that night. The next day he
became worse, and the following night he died. The
,hock to his young wife (not yet 21) who can describe ?
He was borne to the grave on Thursday last, when the
hole of the shops in Newport were closed as a mark of
v
respect, to which his conduct through life had entitled

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SAVAQB ASSAULT BY A FEMALE.--Elise Hall, a young
woman of not very reputable habits, was brought up on
a warrant in the custody of C 134, one of the officers of
the Court, charged with the following violent and savage
assault on Caroline Marshall, a married woman, residing
at No. 40, Upper Norton-street, Fitzroy-square.
The complainant stated that about a fortnight ago,
between twelve and one o'clock in the morning, she was
in a public-house, where the prisoner was present. Com-
plainant was asked by a friend to have a glass of wine.
While she was drinking it the prisoner made use of a
vile expression, and observed that she intended to serve
another woman out. She was immediately seized hold
of by the prisoner, who grasped her left arm. She then
bit the fleshy part of her left hand, which she kept fixed
in her teeth. Complainant called out to the landlord to
release her from the prisoner. When the prisoner was
taken away, she (complainant) remarked, " Look at my
hand, see what a state it is in." The flesh was hanging
&we, and a stream of blood was flowing from the
wound. The prisoner ran away, and the complainant
was taken to the hospital.

Mr. Bishop, clerk to the magistrate—Was the pri-
soner sober ?

Complainant—l do not know, sir, as I never saw the
woman before.

A female, a friend of complainant, said that she was
obliged to grasp the throat of the prisoner, in order to
compel her to relinquish her hold of the complainant.
The prisoner stated that she was sorry for what had
happened, and that she was so drunk at the time that
she had no recollection of what had occurred.

Mr. Bingham observed that if she was so drunk as
not to have any recollection of what occurred, he hoped
she would not take fermented liquors again.

The prisoner was fined 31., or, in default of payment,
six weeks' imprisonment in the House of Correction.
A CRIMEAN HERO IN TROUBLE.—A. tall, powerfully-
made man, named Andrew Murray, a Scotchman,
dressed in plain clothes, was charged with being found
drunk and incapable in the street.

The charged having been proved, and which was not
denied by the accused,

Mr. Bingham ordered him to pay the usual fine of
ss. for the offence.

The accused trusted that his worship would overlook
the offence this time, observing that he had seen some
service for his country. (He showed four medals, one
of which was for services in the Crimea, with two clasps.)
Mr. Bingham—That will do; go about your business.
The prisoner left the bar.

We have been favoured with the following extracts of
private letters recently received from his Excellency Sir
John Bowring

EXTRACT FROM A LETTER OF SIR JOHN BOWLING, DATED
HONG KONG, MAY 23, 1855.
" I have made a noble treaty with Siam. lam amazed
at my own success ; but all the good genii were with me.
I fund there in the prime minister a marvellous man ;
and, together, we shook the Gaz i. gates of monopoly. Siam
is likely to become what it was once—one of the most com-
mercial and progressive nations of the eastern world."

SOUTHWARK.

ROBBING A BROTHER. LAMENTABLE CASE.
Oh,arles Leaven, a young lad about 14 years of age, was
brought before Mr. Combo, charged with stealing a silver
watch and chain, the property of his brother, Edwin
Lewen, under the following circumstances :

The prosecutor, a respectable-looking young man,
said he was clerk to a foreign wool merchant in the Bo-
rough, and resided with his parents. His brother (the
prisoner) also lived there, but was a very bad lad. On
Sunday morning, at an early hour, he absconded from
the house, when witness missed his watch and chain
from his bed-room. He gave information to the police,
and last night his brother was apprehended, when the
watch was traced to a house at Dockhead, where the
prisoner had disposed of it.

Mr. Combe—Does your brother follow any occupa-
tion ! Prosecutor—Yes, sir, he is employed at a public-
house. Mr. Combe—ln what capacity Prosecutor—
As pot-boy. Mr. Combe—That is not a very pro-
per situation for him, as there are so many inducements
to associate with bad characters. Prosecutor—He has
had very good situations, and if he had conducted him-
self properly he might have been in a situation equally
respectable as myself, but he is a very bad lad. Mr.
Combe— Has he ever robbed you before ! Prosecutor
Yes, sir ; a few weeks ago he broke open my box and
stole ten shillings, which I had saved. Mr. Combe—
Do yo wish to prosecute him. Prosecutor—Oh no,
sir, I should not like to prosecute him, he is my bro-
ther ; but I should like you to give him some punish-
ment which might have a tendency to drive him from
his evil ways. Mr. Combe, to the prisoner—What have
you to say in answer to the charge ? You see how kind
your brother is ; he don't want to prosecute you. Pri-
soner (attempting to cry)—l don't know, sir. I did
steal the watch, and I can't tell what made me do it.
Mr. Combe—But you likewise broke open your bro-
ther's box and stole ten shillings he had saved. What
have you to say to that I Prisoner—Nothing at all, sir.
Mr. Combe—l am afraid you are a regular thief, and 1
shall commit you to prison for one month, and order
you to be once privately whipped. I hope that will be
of service to you, and when you come out of prison be
more honest.

DESPATCH FROM THE

CRIMEA

( From a supplement to Tuesday's Gazette.)
WAR DEPARTMENT, AUG. 16.
Lord Panmure has this day received a despatch And
its Enclosures, of which the following are copies, ad-
dressed to his Lordship by General Simpson, command-
ding her Majesty's forces in the East :
Before Sebastopol, Aug. 4.
My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your Lord-
ship that on the night of the 2d inst., between 10 and 11
o'clock, the enemy made a sortie in considerable force
by the Woronzoff-road. The strength of the enemy is
computed to be about 2,000. Their object was to de-
stroy a heavy iron chevaux de frize, made across the
Woronzoff road, between our right and left attacks, and
being further supported by heavy columns in rear, to
take advantage of such circumstances as might present
themselves.
They came on with loud cheers and bugling, and were
received with great gallantry, by our advanced picquet,
under the command of Lieutenant R. E. Carr, of ,the
39th Regiment, who withdrew his men, firing at the
same time upon the enemy, to the main body, under the
command of Captain Leckie, 39th Regiment.
A heavy and well-directed fire was opened upon the
enemy by the party under Captain Leckie on the Wo-
ronzoff-road, as also by the guards of the trenches oa
the right of the fourth parallel, under the command of
Captain Boyle, of the 89th Regiment, and Capt. Turner,
of the let Royals, which, in about ten minutes, caused
the enemy to retire from an attack which, if it had not
been so well met, might have been a serious affair.
The enemy left four men killed, and some wounded
were carried away. We had only one man slightly
wounded in this affair.
I have the honour to transmit the returns of casualties
from the 30th July to the 2d August.
I have the satisfaction of informing your lordship of
the return to this army of Captain Montagu, of the
Royal Engineers, from being a prisoner of war. He
expresses himself highly grateful for the kindness with
which he was treated by the Russians during his cap_
tivity.
It is with great regret that I have to communicate to
your lordship that Lieutenant-General Sir R. England,
G.C.8., has been compelled, upon the recommendation
of a Medical Board, to return to England. Sir R. Eng-
land is the last of the General Officers who left the
United Kingdom in command of a Division ; he has
remained at his post throughout the trying heats of Bul-
garia, and the severities and hardships of the winter's
campaign in the Crimea ; and great credit is due to
this officer for the constancy and untiring zeal he has
exhibited in carrying out arduous and difficult duties
on all occasions.—l have &c.,

TV. S. LINDSAY, M.P.

TYNEMOUTII, Wednesday.— -Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M. P.,
who is threatened with opposition from Captain Liuskill,
a liberal conservative, and a cousin of the Greys, has
taken the first opportunity to meet his constituents, and
addressed a large asi.embly of the electors of the borough
last evening. His reception was most cordial.
Mr. LINDSAY, afte thanking the meeting for the
hearty reception they bad given him, passed in review
the measures brought before Parliament during the ses-
sion. He referred the meeting to a thick pamphlet he
had published a 3 a complete refutation of the charges
brought against him by Sir C. Wood. He denied that
he had derived any advantage from his position of mem-
ber of Parliament ; on the contrary, he had been attacl:ed
and abused for his exposure of Government mismanage-
ment—mismanagement that had lost many precious
lives and squandered much of wealth. The administra-
tive reform movement was going on quietly, but he said
he would have liked to have seen them show more nerve
and agitate for Parliamentary reform and the immediate
abolition of all patronage as the most speedy means to
reach their end. After referring to Mr. Linskill and
his address, of whom he understood the Government
knew nothing, for the Secretary of the Treasury had
told him that he was not aware that there was such a
gentleman in existence, he urged upon the electors not
to allow him (Mr. Lindsay) to be stabbed behind his
hack, but to support him as their independent member,
and as an honest and independent administrative re-
Former.
Mr. Lindsay retired amidst general cheering.

A return moved for by Mr. H. G. Langton, M.P.,
gives a list of the seizures made and of prosecutions for
breach of the tobacco laws in the years 1852, 1853, and
1854, with a list of the offenders. It appears that about
69 persons or firms were so prosecuted in England and
31 in Ireland during the said period. The cases of adul-
terated tobacco are very numerous, and the materials
for adulterating it consisted of sugar, alum, lime, flour
of meal, rhubarb leaves, saltpetre, &c.
POISONING IN SOMEMETSHIRE.—The quiet little ham-
let of Clapton, in the parish of Midsomer Norton, in the
above county, has been alarmed by the almost sudden
death of Mrs. Emma Candy, wife of a highly respectable
farmer of that place. The deceased was 27 years of age,
and in consequence of the suspicious nature of the cir-
cumstances attending her death the coroner, Mr. Bruges
Fry, has felt it his duty to commence an inquest on the
body. At the express request of that official we with-
hold for the present the evidence which has been already
taken ; but we may add that the contents of the stomach
having been submitted to analysis by Mr. Ilerapath, the
eminent chemist of Bristol, undoubted traces of arsenic
have been discovered. The inquest stands adjourned
ov7
till Monday, the 20th inst., and though there is
doubt that the deceased died of
poison, the questionno
whether it was administered by her own hands or the
hands of another remains to be decided by further evi-
dence to be adduced, and by Of verdict of the jury.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational

" We believe Mr.t Courtenay's experience in the treatinent of stric-

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SAVAGE ASSAULT BY A FEMALE. —Eliza Hall, a you❑g
woman of not very reputable habits, was brought up on
a warrant in the custody of C 134, one of the officers of
the Court, charged with the following violent and savage
assault on Caroline Marshall, a married woman, residing
at No. 40, Upper Norton-street, Fitzroy-square.
The complainant stated that about a fortnight ago,
between twelve and one o'clock in the morning, she was
in a public-house, where the prisoner was present. Com-
plainant was asked by a friend to have a glass of wine.
While she was drinking it the prisoner made use of a
vile expression, and observed that she intended to serve
another woman out. She was immediately seized hold
of by the prisoner, who grasped her left arm. She then
bit the fleshy part of her left hand, which she kept fixed
in her teeth. Complainant called out to the landlord to
release her from the prisoner, When the prisoner was
taken away, she (complainant) remarked, " Look at my
hand, see what a state it is in." The flesh was banging
down, and a stream of blood was flowing from the
wound. The prisoner ran away, and the complainant
was taken to the hospital.

Mr. Bishop, clerk to the magistrate—Was the pri-
soner sober

Complainant—l do not know, sir, I never saw the
woman before.

A female, a friend of complainant, said that she was
obliged to grasp the throat of the prisoner, in order to
compel her to relinquish her hold of the complainant.
The prisoner stated that she was sorry for what had
happened, and that she was so drunk at the time that
she had no recollection of what had occurred.
Mr. Bingham observed that if she was so drunk as
not to have any recollection of what occurred, he hoped
she would not take fermented liquors again.

The prisoner was fined 31., or, in default of payment,
six weeks' imprisonment in the House of Correction.
A CRIMEAN HERO IN TROIIBLE.—A tall, powerfully-
made man, named Andrew Murray, a Scotchman,
dressed in plain clothes, was charged with being found
drunk and incapable in the street.

The charged having been proved, and which was not
denied by the accused,

Mr. Bingham ordered him to pay the usual fine of
ss. for the offence. •

The accused trusted that his worship would overlook
the offence this time, observing that he had seen some
service for his country. (He showed four medals, one
of which was for services in the Crimea, with two clasps.)
Mr. Bingham•-• That will do ; go about your business.
The prisoner left the bar.
