MARYLE BONE.

A BRUTISH MOTHER—ATTEMPT TO DROWN HER
CHILD.—A coarse, dissipated-looking woman named Mary
Mara, of Queen-street, Drury-lane, costermonger, was
charged with attempting to drown her child in the Regent's
Canal,

On the prironer being placed in the dock,
"William Andrews, 241 S, said the witnesses were not yet
in attendance.

Mr. Tate (second clerk)—Why are they not here ?
Andrews—l cannot tell.
Mr. Tate (second clerk)—You ought to have had them
here.

Andrews—They promised to attend.
Mr. Tate (second clerk)—Then you ought not to have
the prisoner brought up till the witnesses were here.
Mr. Mansfield—Let us hear what you know about it.
Mr. Tate—You should bring your witnesses in.

Andrews then said—l was on duty in the Park-road,
Regent's-park, between seven or eight last evening, and
noticed a crowd of people looking over the canal bridge,
On looking over myself I saw the prisoner held by several
men, and close by was a child crying.; The men informed
him in her presence that she was just in the act of dropping
her child over the railings into the water when they pre-
vented her. He at once took her into custody, and on the
way to the station she said "that she meant to drown the
young b—, if the men had not come up as they did."
Mr. Mansfield—Was she drunk ?

Andrews—She was, your worship. I took the child to
the workhouse, when Mr. Douglas, the master, said that
that was over the twentieth time the child had been brought
there.

The child had been crying bitterly all the time by the
side of the mother, and the latter kept pulling it and ex-
claiming, you little - what was you naughty in the
streets for.

Mr. Tubbs, assistant-overseer, said the prisoner was a
most disreputable woman ; always drunk. When her child
bas been brought into the house, and is made nice and
clean, then she comes and claims it.
Mr. Mansfield remanded prisoner for a week.

The poor little child (about 3 years of age) was then taken
from its unnatural mother to be taken to the workhouse.
Its shrieks and cries were pitiful to hear.

GOUGING A WIFE'S EYES OUT.—A brutish looking
fellow, named William Jones, residing at 10, Barratt's-
court, was charged with the following shocking brutality
to his wife.

Saint, 183 D, said the wife was in the hospital, and quite
unable to attend. The medical gentleman was also too busy
to give a certificate this morning.
Mr. Mansfield—What has he done to his wife ?
Saint—When I saw the wife, at an early hour this morn-
ing, she was screaming " murder." Her eye was right out
of the socket, and hanging down her cheek, there was also
a quantity of blood. The doctor says she will be totally
blind. About four years ago he gouged her other eye out,
and she has been quite blind in that ever since,
Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week.

The present capital is fixed at £2,000,000 sterling, of which
£2 per share is payable upon allotment. It is not the inten-
tion of the Directors to call up more than a small proportion
of the Share Capital in all, as the successful conduct of a busi-

THE ARMY.

Yesterday, Major-General R. Burnley, the In
spector-General of Infantry, commenced his hall
yearly inspection of the depot battalions and other
infantry troops quartered in the Chatham district.
The inspection was yesterday confined to the se-
veral corps forming the Ist battalion, the various re-
giments composing which assembled on the general
parade-ground at Chatham-barracks, at ten o'clock,
under the command of Col. H. Jervis. The corps
on the ground consisted of the depot companies of
the Ist and 2d battalions of the 4th King's Own,
35th Regiment, 43d Light Infantry, 77th and 94th
Regiments, and the 101st Royal Bengal Fusiliers ;
but in consequence of most of the regiments having
given a large number of men for embarkation this
season to augment the service companies in India
and elsewhere, the strength of the battalion is at
presentc
o u r e mnt
smalleres , than it has been for some time past.
The battalion having been formed at quarter-dis-
tant column by columns of companies, Major-Gen.
Ramley made a minute inspection of the kits, ac-
and arms of the non-commissioned
officers and men of the several depots, at the
termination of which he took up his position at the
flagstaff. The battalion then marched past in quick
time, and executed some few other manoeuvres, the
nature of the ground not permitting any very exten-
sive movements to be carried into effect. At a sub-

BOW-STREET.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COLLECTOR.—CharIes Jones,
clerk and collector to Messrs. Deeds, wholesale leather
sellers, of New Oxford-street, was brought up in custody
of Sergeant Lambert, of the E division of police, charged
with embezzling various sums of money, the property of
his employers. _ _

Mr. Lewis (of Marlborough-street) said the prisoner had
been in the service of the firm mentioned for about a year,
and his duty was to collect money due to the firm in the
usual manner. The prisoner was only apprehended last
night, but he was prepared to prove one case, and then he
should ask for a remand, in order that the accounts might
be thoroughly investigated. The following witnesses were
then called :

Mr. Weaver, of Woolwich, said—On the sth of Septem-
ber I paid the prisoner £4, and £6 3s. 6d. on the following
Saturday, it being the balance of my account. I never re-
turned any goods in lieu of payment.
John Grover, cashier of Messrs. Deeds and Co., 451.
Oxford-street, said the prisoner had been in their employ
about 12 months as traveller and collector. His salary was
£2 per week with his expenses. His duty was to receive
moneys on part of the firm, and, when received, to enter
them in a rough credit book, and hand the sums to me.
Oa looking at the sth of September 1 find no entry of £4
received from Messrs. Weaver, of Woolwich. He has
never paid aver that amount. He made an entry of £6 38.
6d. as received from that gentleman, and then he said,
"You will observe that this is the balance of Messrs,
Weaver's account, and he has returned some goods that he
did not require." The stock was searched, but the goods
mentioned could not be found.

Mr. Lewis—That is all the evidence I propose offering
to-day. The defalcations, it is believed, will turn out to be
something very considerable.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

WESTMINSTER.

A THIEF ON THE CRYSTAL PALACE LlNE,—Thomas
Donovan, a low looking fellow, was placed at the bar,
charged with a robbery upon the Crystal Palace Railway.
Mrs. Mary Hemmings said--Between five and six o'clock
last evening I was a passenger on the Crystal Palace Rail-
way. I got into a third class carriage at Lower Norwood,
to come to Victoria station, but before I arrived there I
missed my purse. There were several persons in the car-
riage, and amongst them the prisoner, and he sat nest to
me part of the time.
Mr. Arnold —When had you last known your purse was
safe ?

Prosecutor—lt was safe when I got into the carriages.
I missed it between Balham and 'Victoria or Battersea, and
returned and mentioned my loss to my friend, and again
examined my pocket. When we arrived at Victoria I was
satisfied it was gone, and I suspected the prisoner, for the
moment we got to the Victoria station he passed the per-
sons sitting between him and the door, and jumped out as
soon as he could, but I followed him, and accused him of
stealing my purse. He said he was an henest lad, and I
might search him, for he had done nothing of the sort. I
told him I knew he had got it, and then he said "You
don't wish to prosecute me if I give you up the money ?"
He then gave me 45., and I told him that that was
not enough, that there had been 9s. in my purse,
and I wanted the remainder and the purse, but he
said he had not got it. He St as then taken into a
room at the station, where he gave up 58 more; he took it
out of his coat, and when asked for the purse he said he
had thrown it under a seat in the carriage. I produce the
pocket which I worn ; it has been cut with a knife.
Vim. Street, assistant
guard) said that when he heard
the prosecutrix complain of being robbed he took the pri-
soner into the cloak-room• Ho out the lace of one of his
boots, and taking it off produc3d ss, He had before pre-
tended that, he had given her up all her money.

carriage.

CURIOUS CALCULATIONS.

The simple interest of one cent, at 6 per cent. per annum,
from the commencement of the Christian era to the close of
the present year 1863, would be but the trifling sum of 11
dollars 17 cents and 8 mills ; but if the same principal, at the
same rate and time, had been allowed to accumulate at com-
pound interest, it would require the enormous number of
84,840 billions of globes of solid guld, each equal to the earth
in magnitude, to pay the interest, and if the sum were equally
divided among the inhabitants of the earth, now estimated
to be 1,000 millions, every man, woman, and child would
receive 84,840 golden worlds for an inheritance. Were all
these globes placed side by side in a direct line, it would
take lightning itself, that can girdle the earth in the wink
of an eye, 73,000 years to travel from end to end. And,
if a Parrot gun were discharged at one extremity while
a man was stationed at the other—light travelling 192,000
miles in a second ; the initial velocity of a cannon ball being
about 1,500 feet per second, and in this case supposed to
continue at the same rate; and sound moving through the
atmosphere at 1,120 feet.in a second—he would see the flash
after waiting 110,000 years ; the ball would reach him in 74
billions of years; but he would not bear the report till the
end of 1,000 millions of centuries, Again, if all these masses
of gold were fused into one prodigious ball, having the sun
for its centre, it would reach out into space in all directions
1,732 millions 'of miles, almost reaching the orbit of Her-
schel or Uranus , and if the interest were continued till the
end of the present century, it would entirely fill up the solar
system, and even encroach 500 millions of miles on the do-
mains of the void between the planet Neptune, whose orbit,
at the distance of 2,850 millions of miles from the sun, en-
circles our whole system of worlds. The present system of
figures is ca led the Arabic method, but it should be more
properly termed the Indian method, because it had its origin
among the Hindoos of India, frem whom the Arabs learned
it, and they in turn carried the art into Spain, where they
proctised it during their long occupation of that country,
The publication of their astronomical tables, in the form of
almanacs, was the principal means of gradually spreading
it abroad among the surrounding nations ; but so slow was
the progress that it was not generally established until
about the middle of the 16th century,—hew York Evening

A Lady Refusing to be Sworn,

At the sitting of St. Arban's County Court, last
week, a person named Crisp brought en action
against a Mrs. Sarah Pitkin for the recovery of £l5.
As the defendant was in the service of Lady Glamis,
the plaintiff's solicitor proposed to call that lady,
who was seated on the bench to the left of the judge,
to give evidence as to the amount shepi
i aciidt the
defendant. When Mr. Earle--the so
mentioned the name of Lady Glamis, shesaido
What Mrs. Pitkin has said as to what I have
paid her is quite correct. Mr. Earle required
her ladyship to be sworn to give evidence on
the point. Lady Glamis—l dezline to take
an oath ; what I have said is right. the
lion our—The law prescribes a certain form in giving
evidence, and all ranks of society, from the Queen
upon the throne to her most humble subject, are
expected to conform to the law. There is a provi-
sion made to meet the case of the people called
Quakers and others who object to oaths on reli-
gibus grounds. Do you belong to the Quakers?
Lady Glamis (smiling)—Oh, no, I am not a Quaker,
and I do not object on any religious grounds; but
I shall not take an oath on such a frivolous matter.
His Honour—My lady, now be advised by me and
be sworn. If you know nothing more on the mat-
ter than has been said, you can be sworn, and then
say so. Lady Glamis—l am very firm ; I shall
take no oath ; my word is as good as my oath. I
think it would be a desecration, and taking God's
name in vain in such a case. His Honour—Cer-
tainly the word of every good man ought to be as
sacred as his oath ; but the law requires that evi-
dence should be given on oath, and I cannot take it
otherwise. Mr. Earle—l certainly require that
Lady Glamis should be examined in the way the
law prescribes, and I am greatly surprised that she
refuses. His Honour—l am not only surprised but
grieved that your ladyship refuses to do what the
law requires of you. You set a sad example to
those in more humble stations in society, and I must
beg of you to leave this court. Her ladyship imme-
diately left the court.

Mr. Weaver, of Woolwich, said—On the sth of Septem-
ber I paid the prisoner £4, and £6 3s. 6d. on the following
Saturday, it being the balance of my account. I never re-
turned any goods in lieu of payment.
John Gover, cashier of Messrs. Deeds and Co., 451.
Oxford-street, said the prisoner had been in their employ
about 12 months as traveller and collector. His salary was
£2 per week with his expenses. His duty was to receive
moneys on part of the firm, and, when received, to enter
them in a rough credit book, and hand the sums to me.
Oa looking at the sth of September 1 find no entry of £4
received from Messrs. Weaver, of Woolwich. He has
never paid ever that amount. He made an entry of £6 3s.
6d. as received from that gentleman, and then he said,
" You will observe that this is the balance of Messrs,
Weaver's account, and he has returned some goods that he
did not require." The stock was searched, but the goods
mentioned could not be found.
Mr. Lewis—That is all the evidence I propose offering
to-day. The defalcations, it is believed, will turn out to be
something very considerable.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

THE EXTENSIVE FRAUDS BY THE HUNGARIAN SIG'S.
MUND DITRICHSTEIN.—In consequence of the apprehension
of Ditrichstein having become known a great many persona
assembled in the Justice Room this morning in the expec-
tation that the prisoner would undergo a public examina-
tion, but in this they were disappointed, as the necessary
arrangements for the conveyance of the prisoner from
Vienna, where he is at present, will delay his arrival in this
country fir two or three days. The capture of Ditrichstein
has, it appears, not been effected without the greatest
difficulty and caution; the persons engaged in the
discovery of the fugitive being Detective Moss, of the
City Police, and Mr. Pollaky, of George-street, Mansion
House, the latter having been employed by Messrs.
Mullins, the solicitors, of the Poultry, to accompany the,
officer as interpreter. On quitting London a short time ago
Mr. Pollaky and the officer proceeded at once to the continent,
feeling certain that Ditrichstein would endeavour to make
his escape in that direction in preference to America or
Australia. On arriving at Presburg it was discovered
that the wife of Ditrichstein was living there, and alao
that her husband had been seen in the neighbour-
hood, but, on inquiry, it was found that they
quitted the place, when and where no one could
tell. A clue, after much difficulty, was again discovered,
and immediately the officers left Presburg, proceeded to a
town on the frontiers of Austria, from thence to Pesth in
Hungary, where Ditrichscein's wife was found to have
joined her husband, who had previously arrived there.
In a very short time after the officers had
made this discovery the Austrian authorities were
at once communicated with, and Detective Moss
and the officials proceeded to the residence of Ditrichstein
and there secured their man, and also nearly the whole of
the money stolen. On being token into custody, Ditrieh.
stein was at once conveyed to Vienna, in charge of Con-
stable Moss, to undergo the necessary preliminaries previous
to his departure for England.

CURIOUS CALCULATIONS.

r The simple interest of one cent, at 6 per cent. per annum,
from the commencement of the Christian era to the close of
the present year 1863, would be but the trifling sum of 11
dollars 17 cents and 8 mills ; but if the same principal, at the
same rate and time, had been allowed to accumulate at com-
pound interest, it would require the enormous number of
84,840 billions of globes of solid gold, each equal to the earth
in magnitude, to pay the interest, and if the sum were equally
divided among the inhabitants of the earth, now estimated
to be 1,000 millions, every man, woman, and child would
receive 84,840 golden worlds for an inheritance. Were all
these globes placed side by side in a direct line, it would
take lightning itself, that can girdle the earth in the wink
of an eye, 73,000 years to travel from end to end. And,
if a Parrot gun were discharged at one extremity while
a man was stationed at the other—light travelling 192,000
miles in a second ; the initial velocity of a cannon ball being
about 1,500 feet per second, and in this case supposed to
continue at the same rate; and sound moving through the
atmosphere at 1,120 feet,in a second—he would see the flash
after waiting 110,000 years; the ball would reach him in 74
billions of years; but he would not hear the report till the
end of 1,000 millions of centuries. Again, if all these masses
of gold were fused into one prodigious ball, having the sun
for its centre, it would reach out into space in all directions
1,732 millions of miles, almost reaching the orbit of Her-
schel or Uranus ; and if the interest were continued till the
end of the present century, it would entirely fill up the solar
system, and even encroach 500 millions of miles on the do-
mains of the void between the planet Neptune, whose orbit,
at the distance of 2,850 millions of miles from the sun, en-
circles our whole system of worlds. The present system of
figures is called the Arabic method, but it should be more
properly termed the Indian method, because it had its origin
among the Hindoos of India, frem whom the Arabs learned
it, and they in turn carried the art into Spain, where they
proctised it during their long occupation of that country.
The publication of their astronomical tables, in the form of
almanacs, was the principal means of gradually spreading
it abroad among the surrounding nations ; but so slow was
the progress that it was not generally established until
about the middle of the 16th century.—Jew York _Evening

WESTMINSTER.

A THIEF ON TIIE CRYSTAL PALACE LlNE,—Thomas
Donovan, a low looking fellow, was placed at the bar,
charged with a robbery upon the Crystal Palace Railway.
Mrs. Mary Hemmings said—Between five and six o'clock
last evening I was a passenger on the Crystal Palace Rail.
way. I got into a third class carriage at Lower Norwood,
to come to Victoria station, but before I arrived there I
missed my purse. There were several persons in the car-
riage, and amongst them the prisoner, and he sat next to
me part of the time.
Mr. Arnold —When had you last known your purse was
safe ?
Prosecutor—lt was safe when I got into the carriages.
I missed it between Balham and Vie.oria or Battersea, and
returned and mentioned my loss to toy friend, and again
examined my pocket. When we arrived at Victoria I was
satisfied it was gone, and I suspected the prisoner, for the
moment we got to the Victoria station he passed the per-
sons sitting between him and the door, and jumped out as
soon as he could, but I followed him, and accused him of
stealing my purse. He said he was an honest lad, and I
might search him, for he had done nothing of the sort. I
told Aim I knew he had got it, and then he said "You
don't wish to prosecute me if I give You up the money ?"
He then gave me 45., and I told him that that was
not enough, that there had been 98. in my purse,
and I wanted the remainder and the purse, but he
said he had not got it. He "as then taken into a
room at the station, where be gave up 68 more; he took it
out of his coat, and when asked for the purse he said he
had thrown it under a seat in the carriage. I produce the
pocket which I wore ; it has been cut with a knife.
Win. Street, assistant guard, said that when he heard
the prosecutrix complain of being robbed he took the pri-
soner into the cloak-room. He cut the lace of one of his
boots, and taking it off produced Os. He had before pre-
tended that he had given her up all her money.
John Parish, 140 B, said he picked up the purse in the
carriage.

Prieoner was remanded.

Adfsrica.—Thofras Baldwin, of 22, Trafalgar-street,
Walworth•road, house decorator, was charged, before Mr.
Knox, with wilfully stabbing John Morris, a carpenter,
residing in Clare-court, Drury-lane.
•
On the prisoner being placed at the bar, Sergeant Clif
ford, 9 E, said the prosecutor was not present.
Mr. Knox asked the sergeant what was the nature of the
wound ?

The sergeant said he understocmd that Morris and the
prisoner had quarreled at a publio-house respecting a
female with whom they had been drinking, and that in the
course of the quarrel the prisoner stabbed Morris in the
head. When Morris came to the station his head was
bandaged, and he stated that the injury was done with a
knife,

Mr, Knox asked the sergeant whether he heard any dan-

Patron—The QUEEN.
President—The Duke of BUCCLEUCH,
Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of governors letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
punted by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Roard feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.
