The numerous and urgent appeals of the OA poor for ad-
mission compel the Committee to entreat the bounty of the
affluent and humane, as the medical officers are daily obliged
to treat as out-patients many distres4ing cases which, with
more adequate funds, they would gladly admit into the wards.
The premises of the Hospital are capable of containing 500
beds.
The Hospital is not endowed, but is wholly dependent on
voluntary contributions and legacies, which are received by
the Treasurer, Edward Masterman, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also
by Messrs. Coutts and Co. ; Drummond and Co. ; Berries and
Co. ; Hansom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and Co. ; Smith,

Yesterday Henry Augustus Munn, the young man who
attempted to cut the throat of his sweetheart, at Chelms-
ford, on the 11th instant, was brought up for examination
at the Shire Hall before a full bench of magistrates. The
court was excessively crowded, principally by young
women, who appeared to take a great interest in the pro-
ceedings. Indeed as soon as it was rumoured in the town
that the young woman had so far recovered from the wound
in her throat as to be able to appear at the court and give
evidence against the prisoner there was a general desire on
the part of the public to be present. The prisoner, it will
be remembered, is an Irish soldier, but has been em-
ployed as in-door servant to Major Masters, of the Royal
Marine Light Infantry, Chatham Division, who resides at
Mr Nicholson's, High-street, Chelmsford; and the young
woman, whose name is Charlotte Turner, WO Mr Nichol-
son's maid-servant. Prisoner had paid his addresses to her,
and she had given him some encouragement ; but recently
she had discarded hina for another, although, probably to
exonerate herself, she denieti this. This so exasperated
him that he attempted on the 11th instant to cut her throat
with a razor.

Prisoner, who has a very determined expression of coun-
tenance, was placed in the dock some time before the chair-
man took his seat, and employed himself in nodding to
various persons whom he recognised amongst the spectators.
The young woman, who is yet unable to lift up her head,
and appears much depressed in spirits, was accommodated
with a seat near the bench. She said—l am a single wo-
man, and have been a servant at Mr Nicholson's since 2d
2d October, 1863. I was not afore when prisoner first came
to wait on Major Masters. It was my duty to attend to the
major's rooms and cook for him. Since I have been there
he has never said anything to me about marriage, and there
was no more attention shown to me by, him than I could
expect from a fellow-servant. On the day in question I
went up to Major Masters's bedroom, at a quarter to eleven
o'clock in the morning. I was alone, and went to make the
bed. About five minutes afterwat ds prisoner came into the
room. He said "I believe you have been telling mistress
something about me." I replied "No, Munn, 1 have not."

he then placed his left arm round me, and saying " Char-
lotte, dear," drew something across my throat, but what it
was I cannot say. (Witness here was so much affected
that she could not proceed with her evidence for a few
minutes.) She afterwards continued—At the moment I
did not know it was anything serious, but I soon felt
the wound smart, and saw blood flowing copiously. He
went out, and I ran to the door to fasten it against him,

is a young man who is paying his addresses to me. I be-
lieve there was something of an altercation between prisoner
and this young man, but I do not know the nature of it. It
is best known to themselves. I was walking with my young
man on a Tuesday evening, about a month before this oc-
currence, and when we were near the chapel prisoner came
behind us. He said to me, " Oh, that's you, Charlotte ?"
I replied, " Yes,it's me, Munn." He then said to my friend,
"Oh, you are the fellow I want to see," He immediately
afterwards struck my young man. They quarrelled, but I
walked on alone. Prisoner had no right in the major's
bed-room on the morning in question.

out of the kitchen towards me. He said in an angry tone,
" I'll cut her b— throat." 1 made no reply ; and he said
the same words a second time, and added, "If I don't,
Billy, me." I have heard prisoner and the young
woman quarrel about love affairs.

Prisoner to the young woman—l'll ask you another ques-
tion—Did you not tell me out of your own mouth that you
were married, and you could not marry anybody ; and then
afterwards did you not tell me that you would marry me

The prisoner was then cautioned in the usual way, and
in reply said—l have nothing to say.

Extraordinary Conduct of the Yarmouth

Beachmen.

The fearful gale which set in on Wednesday
night from the westward has at length sealed the
destruction of the large iron steamer Ontario, 3,000
tons burden, which went on the Hasborough Sands
off the Norfolk coast, on Sunday night. The seventy
extra hands who were put on board on Monday to
assist in throwing the large cargo of coals over.
board refused to continue the work when the gale
commenced, although offered the high rate of re-
muneration of 2s. 6d. per hour—there was then no
apparent danger of the ship breaking up, and the
six steam tugs hovered about to render immediate
assistance in ease of need. They landed on Wed.
nesday evening, but the crew remained, and during
the night the weather became so severe that the
most painful anxiety was felt for the safety of those
left on board. Blue lights were fired and rockets
sent up in the hope that the lifeboats would come
out. Captain Rivers, Lloyd's special agent at Yar•
mouth, at once applied to the Yarmouth beachmen,
who were in the habit of manning the lifeboat of
that port, to go out to the rescue of those on the
wreck, but, astounding as it may appear, they de-
clined to take the life boat off to the Ontario unless
they were paid the large amount of £5OO. The
agent declined to accede to those terms, and the
beachmen, true to their outrageous demand, kept
the boat ashore. Captain Rivers then hastened to
Gorleston, a few miles from Yarmouth, and engaged
the lifeboat at that place for £lOO, The boat ac-
cordingly went off to the wreck, but the sea was
making such a sweep over the stranded ship that
she could not be approached within a distance of
100 fathoms or so. Late on Thursday the sea had
somewhat gone down, and 75 of the hands succeeded
, gettingofficers, away in two other boats, leaving only the
fficers, and pilot on board, who remained

saving the othtevaluable vessel. The gale and sea again

who were left on board, and the latest telegram
conduct announced that the ship was sinking rapidly into
the sand, and would doubtless prove a total loss.
Theextraordinary
wreck unless they received the .sum of £5OO, was
brought under the notice of the mayor of the town
and the other magistrates who were presiding at
in

g to
take
the
the police-court on Thursday. Mr Clowee mentioned
the circumstances of the stranding of the steamer,
and of the refusal of the men who had the manage-
ment of the lifeboat to take her out unless on cer-
tain conditions—that a gale was blowing from the
S.W., and blue lights and rockets were being fired
from the wreck, and he (Mr Clowes) wished to
know whether the Act of Parliament enabled the
magistrates to take any action in the matter. If
the vessel had gone to pieces all on board must
inevitably have been drowned.
The Mayor said—lt seemed that when Captain
Rivers, Lloyd's agent, saw the weather coning on
so threatening he endeavoured to make terms with
the beachmen of Yarmouth, but they would not go
without £5OO. The value of the vessel was so great
that the men seemed not to know what to ask.

the beachmen he had never heard 01',

The Mayor observed that the men left themselves
without an excuse the moment they said they would
not go unless for a certain sum. Such conduct on
the part of the beachmen was really a disgrace to
the coast.

It was eventually arranged to see Capt. Bevan,
the Admiralty commander for the district, with a
view of ascertaining what steps could be taken in
the matter,

The will of Z►dok Arran Jesse], Esq., pearl and
diamond merchant, of 1, Savile-row, Burlington-
gardens, and of Gordon.house, Putney, was proved

other relatives, bequeaths the residue of his pro-
