surgeon and bookseller too. • He engaged his brother-
in-law as his assistant, because be had been engaged in
a similar capacity in New. Bond-Street, and he . (Crook)
knew nothing about the business. Defendant, how-
ever, had no interest in the business ; the name .of
"Oury and Co." referring•to his (Crook's) wife under
her maiden name, and himself. The defendant was only
his servant, and.had not authority to give orders or pay
money without Crook's instruction.
The learned Under-Sheriff, in- summing up the evi-
aence, directed the jury that if, they were satisfied that
the defendant had acted in such a manner as to lead the
public to believe that he was one.of the principals, and
40 obtained credit, he would be liable for that debt the
same as, if he were a partner. The evidence was con-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

CLERKENWELL.--/Tenry Webster, a well-dressed
man, with a Jewish Cast of features, was charged with
having in his possession three gold watches and 19 boxes
of cigars, without being able to give a satisfactory ac-
count of their possession:
The first witness called was IVir. Edwin , Langford.
He said—l reside at 23, Broad Quay, Bristol. •lam a
watchmaker. On the 21st of February last •my house
was broken into, and 120' gold watches, 100 silver"
watches, and. 100 gold .chains—in all of the value of
2,7ool.—taken away. From information -I came to
and, about seven o'clock in the
townevening' on
of Saturday
the
sam lasted ;
day,
I called on the_ prisoner at, his
residence, which is a private house. I asked him if he
had any watches for sale, as I wished to purchase some.
He took me into the front parlour, and produced a case
of watches, amongst which was the gold one I now Pro-
duce. I positively swear it was part of the property I
lost in the robbery. I recognised it at once by the pe-
culiarity of the dial-plate ; but from the marks inside I
was more positive. I asked him ,the price of it. He
replied 101. ; that is much under the price, as I could
not sell a similar watch under twelve guineas. He then
produced another case of watches, and I selected another
(produced). I remarked to him that the name "French,
London, did not look genuine; when he replied,
" Well, perhaps not, this watch has most likely come
from some 'prig' Or another, but I never buy watches
from prigs, and will always give up the party I had
them from." I then offered him 81. for the first watch
I looked at, but he would not take it. I gave him
eventually 91. 10s. for it. I then asked him if he bad
any more watches of the same kind ; he said, "No, I
may have some on Monday or Tuesday, say Tuesday,
but I am sorry'yOu did not .call yesterday (meaning
Friday), when I bad some:" We left the house to-
gether, and when we got to the corner of College-street,
and as we were walking along, he said, "I don't think
that you saw that 'a name has'been filed out from the

plate of that watch, do not show it in London, as it may
lead to identification. I never show my stock in London,
seldom in the country, and there they are all quiet." I
went again on the Tuesday, but he s.lid he could not get
any of the same kind I'd watches. I looked over the
stock, but said I would call again another day. On
Wednesday I went to look at a chronometer I had pre-
viously seen. Whilst I was there Sergeant Jackson, 11
H, accompanied by Sergeant Mason, 25 S, and constable
Bow, 333 S, came in, according to my direction,
The officers then starched the house, and a nest of draw-
ers was found in a small room which was fitted up as
a jeweller's workroom. In one of the drawers was a
gold watch case which I can identify as mine, although
it has been "re-christened" a's it is called—that is, the
original number I placed on it was 7,149 ; since it was
stolen from me a figure of one has been placed before
the seven, and the one has been made into a four, mak-
ing the number 17,449. In another drawer was the
movement of the same watch with the name filed out.
In another compartment I found another gold watch
case, also mine, and the works likewise. That is all I
have to say at present.
The prisoner, who several times wished to correct the
witness, on being asked what he had to say, replied,'" I
can account for the possession of the watches, and can
tell who I bought them of."

Mr. TyrwhiEt--You will be doing yourself a service
by stating what you know of the party. Who is he ?
Prisoner—l should like to consult* a solicitor before
that. Ido not know where to get one, as I have not
been long in town.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt is only right that you should have a
legal adviser. I shall therefore remand :you to enable
- •
you to have one.
It has been ascertained that the prisoner has been a
resident in Bedale, in Yorkshire. On his person was
found a receipt for 8001. lodged in his name at Hankey's
bank, in September, 1854.
"J. T.," of Furnivars-inn, has forwarded a cheque
for 11., in aid of the relief of Mr. Lambelet, the original
painter of the saloons, &c., a:, the Pavilion at Brighton,
but now reduced to great poverty.

WANDSWORTH.--A veil-dressed and lady-like
woman, attired in mourning., who gave the name of
Arabdla Euphania Preston Radermacher, was charged
with unlawfully intermarrying with Mr. James Joseph
Radermacher, her former: husband, Charles d'Olvarez
Robertson, being still alive.

Mr. Charnock, the barrister' appeared for the prosecu-
tion, and Mr. Hoblet attended on behalf of the prisoner.
Mr. Charnock detailed thefacts of the case, and added
that he appeared to prosecute on behalf of the father,
and not the son.

Witnesses were then called, who proved that the pri-
soner (formerly a governess is the family of Mr. Rader-
macher, sen., of Fulham), was married to Mr. Robert-
son, an architect, on March 20, 1845, and again married
to Mr. James Radermacher on the 15th October' 1854.
The case Wwagthen remanded, a witness who had been
summoned to show that Mr. Robertson was alive not
having attended.

SOUTH WARK. EXTRAORbINATIY AFFAIR. On
Wednesday afternoon, a well-dressed person, represent-
ing himself to be a brewer at Berkhen3pstead, attended
before Mr. Combe with a young girl, stated not to be 14
years old, but who, singularly enough, was far advanced
in pregnancy, to complain of the conduct of the parish
authorities of Bermondsey in refusing to receive the girl.
The applicant stated that the girl wbo was with him
had resided for, some time withan old lady at Berkhemp-
stead, and, until recently, was much respected by her,
but a few• days ago it was ascertained that the girl was
far agvancel in the family-way, which induced the old
lady to discharge her. Being an orphan, she was taken
to the workhouse there, when the relieiing officer re-
fused to receive her, stating, as a reason, that she be-
longed to, the parish of Yermondsey, and she must be
taken there. Applicant consulted with the old lady
about the circumstance, and having business to transact
in London he consented to bring the girl to London.
Consequently that morning he went to Bermondsey
workhouse. with her, and told the officer that she be-
longed to that parish, and that he wished to leave her,
but the officer refused to have anything to do with her.
Applicant, therefore, wished to keow whether the parish
authorities of Bermondsey could not be compelled to re-
ceive her.
Mr. Combe—How old is this child ?

Applicant—l believe she is not quite 14. She was
taken into the old lady's service at 10 years of age, and
has continued with her until the present time.
Mr: Combo—She seems to be in the family way. How
is that ? ' _ _ _

Applicant7—l understand she has formed connections
with some-young men at Berlthemp,tead, and as soon as
her state was found out by the old laly sh• discharged
her, and sent her to the Union.
Mr. Comhe—But who recommended her to be brought
to London

Applicant—The relieving officer at Berkhempstead.
The old lady also requested me to bring her to Bermond-
sey, as that was her father's parish.
Mr. Corn be—Has she any parents living
Applicant—No, sir. That was the reason thp old lady
took care of her.

Mr. Coinbe—l advise you to take her back to Berk-
hempstead. Will you consent to that ?
Applicant— Well, I suppose I must ; but I have busi-
ness in London, and shall not be able to return until the
evening. I shall either leave by the four o'clock train
or the six o'clock, and I am willing to take her with me
and pay all expenses, provided she meets me at the rail-
way station.
Mr. Combe—l'll send her in charge of one of nty'offi-
cers, and; if you are not there to receive the girl, you
must expect to hear more of the affair.
Murray, one of the warrant officers, consequently
took her'to the railway station as directed, where he met
him, who received charge of her, and took her back to
Berkhempstead.

caused a great increase to the number passing through
the Post-office. From the earliest period to the present
day, every time the postage was reduced and greater fa-
cilities given to the public the postal revenue increased.
. Canning gives great vredit in his report to the late
Lieutenant Waghorn for opening the Overland Mail
rpute to India. In the archives of St. Martin's-
le-Grand, , the accounts of the Post-office revenue
are perfect from 1685 to the present time. Amongst
them is an item of expenditure in 1687 entered
thus—" Paid to Edward Lock, of Hounslow, for a man
to deliver letters at the camp, 41." From these archives
it appears that all the postmasters in the West of Eng-
land were well affected to William 111., and rendered
him great assistance when he landed in this country.
These documents also reveal some curious particulars of
the abuse of the franking system. Among the items
franked by the Holland mail packets in 1695 were
"some parcels of cloth for the clothing colonels in
Lords Grey and North's regiments." Also a pack of

office delinquencies.
The present staff of St. Martin's-le-Grand consists of
2,500 persons. There are now nearly 6,000 more
Post-offices in" the United Kingdom than there were
fifteen years ago. The mail communication with the

ragement which the Postmaster-General has given to
his subordinates to insure their lives has already led
to 200 insurances. The report intimates the probability
of the postage on newspapers and closed mails to and
through France, from England, being reduced, and
that " so far as facilities for all intercourse by post can
avail the intimate relations of England and Fraiice will
be promoted to the utmost." In 1740 there was only a
post from London to Edinburgh three times a week,
and on one occasion the mail from the English to the
Scotch metropolis contained one letter. In 1623 a mail
containing despatches for the Secretary of State was sent
by express from Plymouth to London in 57 hours ; ex-
press trains perform the distance now in five hours.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN
LONDON AND BALAKLAVA.

(Front Me Times of this day.)
On Wednesday, the 25th, the first telegraphic mes-
sage was received from Varna, announcing that the
electric communication between that place and Balak-
lava had been completed. There is now no reason why
the Commander-in-Chief in the Crimea should not com-
municate with the office of the Minister of War in four
or five hours. Henceforward, if due despatch be used,
we are, as it were, present at the siege of Sebastopol.
To state the case without the least exaggeration, the
daily papers, which are published in London every
morning on, six days of the week, should inform the
British public of all that has occurred in' the siege works
before Sebastopol on the preceding day. We are now
writing on the 26th ; our intelligence, as yet, reaches no
further than the 19th ; that is, we are more than a week
behind-hand on the old system, as compared with results
which we have a right to expect from the improvements
yesterday brought into operation. It must not be
imagined, therefore, that we are making it a matter of
accusation against Lord Ragla❑ that he did not, when
the communication was opened, instantlytake advantage
of it. A hundred petty obstacles, of which we can
form no idea, may have stood in his way. We are
speaking of the future, not of the past, nor even of
the prevent. • It is not too much to expect that the
country should receive the earliest possible infor-
mation upon a subject so interesting to us all.
Some Of us are in the deepest anxiety as to the
fate of relatiVes and friends, and all of us have made
the greatest sacrifices to assist in carrying this war
to a successful issue ; it is, therefore, but reasonable
that we should receive the earliest and most accu-
rate intelligence as to the progress of the operations.
The battle of Inkerman was rightly named the soldiers'
battle; let the war with Russia be treated as the peoples'
war, or it will infallibly end in disgraceful concession, or
still more disgraceful defeat. Electric communication
is established between Balaklava and London. It is
perfectly right that to the military authorities at one
end of the wires and to official personages at the other
the first facilities should be offered. It is quite right, in
other words, that when the Government require the
use of the telegraph for public purposes they should
have the preference over private persons ; but, when
the public exigencies are once satisfied, the telegra-
phic communication between Balaklava, and London
must and should be as open to the public as
the communication between London and Holyhead.
The day for mystification is for ever gone by, and any
attempt to confine electricity to the service of Downing-
street would speedily and infallibly recoil upon the
authors of it. We cannot anticipate a decision adverse
to the public service, although the First Minister last
night, in answer to a question from Mr. Layard, affected
to consider the point as one yet under consideration. " I
am not now able," said Lord Palmerston, "to state
whether arrangements have been made for affording the
use of the telegraph to the public ; but I will answer

that part of ihe. hon. gentleman's question another
day." Even if the Government should propose to
themselves, as a patriotic task, that of hoodwinking
the public, or debarring them from access to the tele-
graph, they must see clearly enough that detection within
eight or nine days at latest must follow upon any
attempt at mystification. In the interval they will he
perpetualiy badgered with questions ; and, as at best
they can only fence them off for a few days, is it worth
while incurring the amount of obloquy which will cer-
tainly be their portion for so unimportant a result as
that of spiting the people who find blood and money for
the war?

The subject is one of so much importance, and the
events now occurring before Sebastopol are of so momen-
tous a character to the country, that we cannot refrain
from expressing some little surprise at the spirit in which
the matter was taken up last night by the First Minister
of 'the Crown. Were we in times of profound peace,
and had the question been one of the most jocular cha-
racter, it could scarcely have been treated with more
levity by !Lord Palmerston. There is a time for every-
thing, even for flippancy and bad jokes. Mr. Layard,
after referring formally to the opening of the telegraph,
asked if any news had been received from the Crimea
Lord Palmerston answered—" The First Lord of the
Admiralty received messages by it to-day and yesterday.
These messages don't contain any news from the Crimea,
but simply announce that the telegraph is opened." (A
laugh.) Mr. Layard continued his questions with per-
fect temper and moderation.—" Am I to understand
that no information has been received with reference to
the siege—whether the bombardment has been suc-
cessful or not l" This is a point upon which some
little interest certainly is felt out of doors. Lord
Palmerston's method of calming the public anxiety was
succinct enough—" The telegraphic message does not
bear upon that subject"—(laughter)—and so on. Lord
Palmerston seems to have established such a character as
a comic performer that the house is prepared for a display
even when his words to the reader do not appear to be of
a very humorous description. It will soon be with him as
with the late Mr. Liston—his mere appearance will be
the signal for general hilarity. Be this, however, as it
may, it is at least satisfactory to find him, in answer
to a second question from Mr. Roebuck, stating that it
is his intention to work upon Lord Raglan through
Lord Panmure "to let us have every day some infor-
mation from the seat of war." In the transactions of
ordinary mortals this would follow as a matter of course
from the opening of telegraphic communication between
the Crimea and London, but we have been so long ac-
customed to see all business connected with the public
service so negligently transacted that we really feel as
though we ought to erect votive tablets to the three

noble and illustrious lords who are about to unite their

strength for the attainment of so difficult an object. The
unofficial mind can detect no extraordinary difficulty in
preparing and forwarding a few brief telegraphic notes
once, or, if need be, twice a-day. The counting-house
of every merchant in London, with the help of a junior
clerk and an errandboy, manages to perform the same
feat on every business-day throughout the week.

FIRST REPORT OF T_HE POSTMASTER-

GENERAL.

According to the report of the Postmaster-Gene-
ral the gross poStal revenue of Austria in 1852 was
906.805/. ; of Bavaria, 77,648/. ; of Denmark, 70,963/. ;
of France, 1,864,3801. ; of Holland, 115,2171. ; of
Prussia, 1,285,5961. ; of Russia, 771,0801. ; of Saxony,
133,5771:; of Sweden, 66,8881. ; of the 'United
States, 1,273,7781. ;of Great Britain, 2,422,1681. The
postal revenue of Liverpool in' 1854 was 91,9091. ; of
Manchester, 74,7361. •, of Dublin 53,676/. ; of Edin-
burgh, 41,6121. ; of Glasgow, 58,1361. Dublin is the
only plaza amongst the large cities and towns in
which the postal revenue is decreasing. The East
Indies, the Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, and Van
Diemen's Land, are the only important dependencies to
which the postage on letters from England is more
than 6d. The Postmaster-General considers that
the general reduction of the colonial postage to 6d. has
proved a good measure, and that there 'is a prospect of
the reduction being universal, which will be of immense
importance, particularly with respect to the correspon-
dence of the. East Indies, which is enormous from this
country. A. century ago 72,0001. was paid out of the
postal revenue for pensions ; at the present time there
are only three, viz., 4,700/. a year to the Duke of
Grafton as 'representative of the Duchess of Cleve-
land, which commenced in 1686 ; 4,0001. a year to the
heirs of the Duke of Schomberg, which commenced in
1695 ; and 5,0001. a year to the Duke of Marlborough,
which commenced in 1708. In the Accountant-
, General's office, 80,000 Postmasters' letter bills, and
t 5,500 receipts for- disbursements have to be examined
every week. The Postmaster-General states in his re-
port that • great facilities would be afforded to the
Post-office if the pub!ic would post letters and news-
papers as early as possible, write the number of
house and the name of the street and town legibly on
the address of every letter, and provide a letter-box at
every door. There can be no doubt that immense num-
bets of ietter,i are delayed-argent to -the Dead-Letterr--
office, owing to the stupid nomenclature of streets and
numbering,of houses in England. In no civilised coun-
try in the world is this so disgraceful as in Great Britain.
The Postmaster-General states.that there are 50 King-
streets, 50 Queen-streets, and 60 John-streets and Wil-
liam-streets in London. Every street in one continu-
ous line, or a well-defined part of it, should have one
name distinct from all others in the same city or town,
and the houses should he numbered in a successive order,
from one upwards. The same numbers should never I
occur in the same street, not even on the opposite side
of it. " A woman in London," says the report, " living
between numbers 14 and 16, numbered her. house_
'number on it which had 'been used for
revenuec of
