WES L'MINSTER.

A VERY AWKWARD AFFAIR.—Ed ward James Butler, a
man in the employment of Mr. Hatt, cow keeper and dairy-
man, of 15, Brewer-street, Pimlico, was charged with
stee.ling a gallon of milk, and John Cole, coffeehouse
keeper, Tjpgr Eaton-street, Pimlico, was charged with
feloniously receiving it.
Sergeant Parkins, 8 B, said that the prosecutor had been
to the court but had gone away. The police, however, were
acquainted with the details of the case.
Mr. Selfe said he would hear them.

Sergeant Parkins said that from information received he
spoke to Mr. Ha,t, and found that there was something
going on wrong. At a quarter to 5 o'clock this morning
Butler came out of Hatt's yard with a half gallon measure
of milk in his hand, and proceeded to Cole's coffee hop,
where he went into the priVate bar part, and Cole took
the milk of him and placed it on a shelf, and then
went into a private parlour, from whence he
returned in two or three minutes aad passed some-
thing to Butler, The latter, after placing his hand
under his smock, put down a half-gallon bottle of warm
milk at Cole's feet. Mr. Cole then said to witness, who had
followed Butler into the shop, " What are you guing to
have," when witness said he should take Butler for stealing
and Cole for receiving the milk. Neither of them made any
reply. Hatt came to the station and signed the sheet
against the prisoners.
Butler said that he merely took some milk to Mr. Cole,
which had been ordered, and knew nothing about stealing
it.

Cole said he had dealt with Mr. Hatt for many years, and
had four quarts of milk in the morning and six in the after-
noon. Whenever he was becoming short of milk, some of
his people ran to Mr. Hatt's and ordered it, and that was
the case this morning. To show that nothing could have
been passed by him to the other prisoner, only twopence was
found upon the latter.

Mr. Selfe said, that for the interest of justice, as well as
for prisoners' own sakes, he would have Mr. Hatt in at-
tendance, and would grant a summons for his attendance
forthwith. He would not restrain the liberty of the ac-
cused in the meantime, who were free, but he would re-
commend them not to leave the court until the matter was
determined.

NEW YORK, MARCH 11 (Evening).

General Sherman's return to Vicksburg is con-
firmed. He penetrated 35 miles beyond Meridien,
destroying all railroads. He lost 500 men.
The Times' second edition, however, says
" There is still no official intelligence from General
Sherman, and, in order to allay the public disap-
pointment at the failure of his movement, very
exaggerated reports of the destruction of railways
and stores which he committed in Mississippi are
published in the Ministerial pipers."
No important military movements have taken
place.

An amendment to the Gold Bill has been passed
in the Senate, authorising Secretary Chase to sell
the surplus gold in the treasury. The amendment
will have to pass the House of Representatives

PECULIAR. A TALE' OF THE GREAT
TRANSITION. Edited by WILLIAM lIOWITT.

" 'Peculiar ' is a tale of the gre,t transition, as ' Uncle
Tom's Cabin' was of the great preparation, and the second
Period is illuArated with almost much effect as the first.
The chief value or 'Peculiar' is also its chief attraction. It
is a picture of living and breathing persons, with the civil
war for a bacluround—a picture full of movement and anima-
tion, with a great des! of effective colouring both in scencry
and individual character."—lieader.

ATE,. DISRAELI S STARTLING RETORT--On Mr.
Stt.nsfeid's interruption.—Mr. Disiaeli (says the
Court Journal) shone out triumphantly when Mr. Stens-
teld was so imprudent as to interrupt him, and to aek
" what correspondents" had addressed Mazzini at Thurloe-
equare. "You know them better than I do, I suppose,"
retorted Mr. Disraeli, turning round sharply upon the un-
fortunate Civil Lord of the Admiralty, and looking him
through and through. Mr. Disraeli is a great actor—at
least, he remembers the Demosthenic advice to orators, that
"action, action, acti .n" is the one thing needful to orators.
When his lace is in repose you would hardly believe that it
was capable of such varying expressions, and that that
rather demure and &jut ed countenance would light up as
the soldier's face lights up in battle. Ae poor Mr Stare-
fell jerked himself forward and spoke the two fatal words
niy two—the veteran parliamentary warrior saw his
triumph, and dealt his strokes again and again. ‘, r What
correspondents?' says ihe hon. member fur Halifax. Why'
the assasins of Europe. What correspondents ?' why
the advocates of anarchy throughout the Contin.ent." What:
c,irrespou'ents? Wv the men who point their poignards
at the breast of our ally." The effect was of that IL:ague/to
kind which spontaneous eloquence, driven home then and
there, alone can produce, and Mr. StaUsield will not BOA
interrupt :air. Disraeli amain.

MR. SHERIDAN LE FANU'S NEW NOVEL.

YLDER' S H A N D.
By the Author of "The House by the Churchyard,"

" Mr. Le Fenn is the most intense of modern novelists.
No one rivals him in the production of feelings of horror
and terror from causes quite inexplicable. His genius is in
some degree cognate with that of Edgar Poe. The American
romancer was a m :ger of the mysterious and the horrible ;
the Hibernian seems to have caught:his mantle."—Press.

DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT AT DUDDESTON
HALL, BIRMINGHAM —On Thursday evening, the
physician of the Duddeston Hall Lunatic Asylum (Dr.
Boisragon), gave a dramatic entertainment, at which the
insane inmates and a number of the doctor's friends were
present. The entertainment consisted of a charade, and a
farce, the latter written by Mrs. Conrad Boisragon, with
so much ability that when writing it the authoress must
have thought more of the few friends who were to bo pre-
sent than the insane inmates of the asylum. It was cer-
tainly too good for people insensible to literary merit. The
dialogue was smart, sometimes even epigraraltic—while for
puns, it was almost as full of them as any of Mr. H. J,
Byron's adaptations. The host and hostess, assisted by
the doctor's brother, Mr. Boisragon, took parts in the farce.
The entertainment lasted about an hour, affording much
pleasure to every one present. At its conclusion the
hostess was called before the curtain in the double cha-
racter of authoress and actress, and received a hearty
round of applause.—Birmingliana Daily Gazette.
DR. JACOB. By the Author of " Joan and I."
Three Vets.—" There is much freshness and originality

nary fictions of the day. Fraulein Fink, with her school
and her literary tattle, the chaplain and his family, the
grave professsrs, and the thousand and one little touches
which make up the picture of every-day, easy, genial life in
Germany, have much of the picturesque force and vivid
reality of 4 Yillette,' ".-Mgrefay Afvfm,

Atter assisting in various captures, he attained the
rank of lieutenant in April, 1802, and was appointed
to the Leopard, in which he served off Boulogne at
the time of the threatened invasion. In 1804 he
took part in the Catamaran expedition, The Leo-
peed afterwards sailed with six Indiarnen to convoy
to the southward of the Cape Verd Islands, and
during the passage one of them struck upon a rocky
reef near St. Jago, when, by I,feet. Tayler's noble
exertions in the Leopard's cutter, 3J lives were
saved, notwithstanding o tremendous sea that was
breaking over the ship. In the Maida frigate Lieut.
Taylor accompanied the expedition to Copenhagen,
during the siege of which place he leaded in com-
mand of a party of seamen, and was employed
in a bleaching battery. He subsequently served
in the Maida, Spencer, and Heroine. On the
27th of August, 1810, he was promoted to the
command of the Sparrow, of 16 guns, and soon after-
wards distinguished himself by a series of gallant
and important services, surveying the different har-
bours and ascertaining the strength of the French
garrisons along the Biscayan shore. In the opera-
tions against St. Sebastian is 1812, he erected a
battery on Lighthouse-hill, an enterprise of the
greatest difficulty. Oa the 24th of July, Captain
Taylor, by the bursting of a shell, was dreadfully
injured, and was sent home to England. More than
two years elapsed before his wounds were healed.
As some reward for his services and sufferings he
was allowed a pension of £2OO per annum, and
rze,tted a C.B. on the Bth of December, 1815. Hs
was also voted the sum of £lOO by the Patriotic
Society, and was presented by the Corporation of
Devizes with the freedom of that borough. He was
promoted to pest rank on the 16th of August, 1813,
and accepted the rank of Rear-Admiral on the Ist
of October, 1846. Admiral Tayler wi'l be remem.

General Sherman's return to Vicksburg is con-
firmed. He penetrated 35 miles beyond Meridien,
destroying all railroads. He lost 500 men.

The Times' second edition, however, says :
"There is still no official int elligence from General
Sherman, and, in order to allay the public disap-
pointment at the failure 01' his movement, very
exaggerated reports or the destruction of railways
and stores which he committed in Mississippi are
published in the Ministerial papers."
No important military mtivements have taken
place.

The Northern Press declare that the orders said

The Murder in Marylebone.

At the Marylebone rolice Court yesterday, Arthur John
Devine, aged 21, of no settled place of abode or occupation,
was brought up, charged on remand wi,h murdering Joseph
Duck, aged 02, in Little Chesterfield-street, on the eight of
the 10th instant.
It will be recollected that the deceased, who had amassed a
little property to retire upon, was picked up in Little Ches-
terfield-street in an insensible state, and bleeding profusely
from wounds on his head, by Volice•constable Crowley, of
the D division. Two sovereigns that were shortly before
seen in his possession vere not in his pocket. His watch-
fob was cut away, and its watch, chain, and seal gone. His
neckerchief and pocketlandkerchief were also missed.

been read over, the folbwiug testimony was adduced :

Wednesday, March 9, He was in the tap-room a little
after nine, when he went away and returned after I came
back from supper, and asked me it I had a piece of wood or
leg of a chair for a harmer handle. I replied I would look.
He said there were tws broken chairs, and perhaps I could
let him have one. I was called away, and on my return
prisoner had gone, and I missed one of the lags of the chair.
The iron bar used fort poker was lost on the same night.
I missed it after the priioner went away the first time.

past one, prisoner appled for a lodging. The beds were all
full, and so he was not admitted. I saw him next day in
the kitchen. He was free with money, and paid for beer
on Saturday evening. Same one said, "You are pretty
well up for money," ald he said he had received 30s, from
a laundress either in Voodstock-street or mews.
James B argent, carnan, lodging at 5, Circus ,street—On
Friday morning I got 1p at a quarter-past four, and I let
prisoner in at five o'clo;k. He told me that he had picked
up a watch, chain,

not tell whether they Vere worth anything ; if they were
he would pay for a few nights' lodgings in advance.

minutes after 5, and I Found prisoner in the kitchen. He
