CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

The Central Criminal Court Bill went through a Com-
mittee, in which several amendments were introduced into
the measure. The report was ordered to be received to-
morrow.

Adjourned at a Quarter after Six o'clock.

Considerable sensation has been excited in Leeds
during the last few days in consequence of an attempt having
been made, on the night of Wednesday last, to set fire to the
parish Church. It appears that on Thursday morning, when
Mr. Pickard, the Sexton, went into the vestry, he found a
number of papers missing, which induced him to think that a
robbery had taken place. On going into the choir he further
discovered that a large Ijible used at the altar-table was like-
wise missing, as were several prayer-books from the different
seats. Having made these discoveries, his attention was next
directed to the organ gallery, which did not appear to be in its
usual state. He accordingly went up, and there found the
large Bible and six or seven prayer-books laid open, and
amongst a quantity of curl-papers several lucifer matches,
which had apparently been rubbed through sand paper, but
had failed to produce the ignition. The prayer-books were
placed on a projection above the Bible, for the purpose, it is
conjectured, of causing a more rapid spread of the flames
when the curl-papers should have taken hold and communi-
cated to the Bible. Information was immediately given to the
police, and on examination of the windows it was found that
on the north side an aperture had been made only just large
enough to admit the body of a man. There was a small quan-
tity of blood near the place, showing that the party, in making
his egress, had cut himself with broken glass. Those who
have examined the window declare it is their opinion that the
opening had been made by the supposed incendiary inside, for
which purpose he must have been concealed inside the church.
The authorities have used every exertion to discover the par-
ties who have attempted the diabolical deed, but hitherto the
matter remains a perfect mystery. Thechurchwardens have of-
fered a reward of 50/. for the apprehension of those concerned.
The last expedition to Central Africa under the
direction of a Company of merchants, departed from Liver-
pool in two steam-boats and one sailing vessel; and so much
interest was taken in it by the British Government, that the
Lords of the Admiralty requested permission to send with it
an officer of the Royal Navy, for the purpose of making a
survey of the Niger. The party was also accompanied by
Mr. Lander, the celebrated African traveller, who was barba-
rously murdered while pursuing his researches. Of the dif-
ferent crews which went out on this adventurous enterprise,
nearly all the men perished from the baneful effects of the
climate ; and the chief officers, after enduring many perils by
land and water, and suffering every kind of privation, have re-
turned to their native country with a narrative of their disco-
veriesin the barbarous regions of Africa, where civilized man
had never before penetrated, including descriptions of savage
kings and kingdoms, and of the strange manners and customs
of the wild tribes with whom the travellers came in contact.
The following narrative of a semi-tragical scene
which took place on board the Czarowitch steam-packet, on a
late voyage from Havre to Hamburgh, is given by the Ham-
burgh Correspondent. Au elderly Russian lady had taken her
passage, accompanied by a dog remarkable for its ugliness, but
of which she took as much care as if it had been her only child.
The exhibition of so much affection to an object so apparently
unworthy excited the " espiegleries" of the cabin-boy and two
other mischievous imps, who, after some manoeuvres, enticed
the animal from his mistress, arid threw him overboard. The
cry of the dog on emerging from the waves caught the ear of
his mistress, who, without a moment's reflection, plunged after
him, and caught him in her arms. For a time she was borne
upon the surface by her clothes, but as these became saturated
with the water, she began to sink, and would have been drowned
with her protege, but for the humanity of one of the sailors,
Villo jumped into the sea, and succeeded in rescuing them both
from death. When the lady recovered from her alarm she
made the bold sailor a magnificent present, and has since se-
cured to him a pension for life, declaring that all this was done,
not as a reward for saving her, but for restoring to her her dog,
which was the only relic left her on earth of a faithful husband,
to whom she was tenderly attached.
