linen front and wristbands, marked A. G. W., the neck,
shoulder of left arm, right side and sleeves covered
with blood, both sleeves cut up the shoulder, and a por-
tion of the right side missing ; also cut from the
tail to the breast, nearly new. The collar band had been
lengthened with a piece of tape, the shirt has been worn
with studs and sleeve-links. A lamb's wool under-
shirt, marked J. T. W., 12.58, a portion of
the breast being apparently burnt, missing, and
both sleeves cut open. A flock pillow saturated with

The Official Gazette of to-day publishes a decree
proclaiming a state of siege in Sicily, and nominat-
ing General Cugia Extraordinary Commissioner.
General Cugia has issued the following procla-
mation :

" Sicilians ! Notwithstanding the word of the
King, the vote of the Parliament, and the forbear-
ance of the Government, in giving time to the
deluded people to return to their duty, the armed
bands of Garibaldi continue to occupy an important
town. The rebellion is thus declared, and the
Government has resolved to put an end to this state
of things, so compromising for the destinies of
Italy. Every armed band or tumultuous meeting
will be dissolved by force.

" The liberty of the press is suspended. The
commanders of the troops of the divisions of
Palermo, Messina, and Syracuse will assume both
civil and military powers."
The DiscuBsione of to-day publishes a telegram
announcing that the entry of Garibaldi into Catania
took place without any conflict, the city being
denuded of troops.
The same paper mentions a rumour that Gari-

state of siege.
It is believed that Admiral Persano will assume
the command of the fleet.

PARIS, AUG. 22.

The Constitutionne/ of to-day publishes an article
which, after declaring that the French flag will not
recede before any menaces, says :
" But to crush the fools who would not stop
before the flag which has given freedom to Italy
might be a painful necessity imposed by honour,
but it would not be a solution.

" The military question would not settle the
political question."

SOUTHWARK.

STABBING A WOMAN.—Charles Worman, a ruffianly
looking young fellow, who was described on the police-
sheet as a labourer, was charged with a desperate assault on
a female, named Ellen Baker, one of the frail sisterhood,
who have become such a nuisance in th© Borough during
the last twelve months.

The complainant, who had a slight cut under the left eye,
said that she was in Tooley-street this morning
between
one and two o'clock, in company with some other girls,
when the prisoner crossed the road and abused her, after
whichhe drew a clasp knife and deliberately struck her in
the face inflicting the wound under her eye. He would in
all probability have done her 130100 serious injury, but for
' the intervention of the police, who took the prisoner into
custody.
A, 482, proved to having seen the_ prisoner strike the cora-
plainant without having received any provocation, and he
produced two clasp knives which he had taken from his
person.
Emma
a woman of the town, was called by the
prisoner,
denied the charge, and said that this morn-
ing she wa
company with the prisoner and some other
l who
sV i
nt I ey ,
females, when the complainant, who was at the opposite
side of the road, commenced abusing him and ultimately
struck him in the face.
The policeman was recalled, and stated it was impossible
the complainant should have assaulted the prisoner without
his seeing it, as he was standing opposite the parties until
he saw the latter attack the complainant with his knife.
Mr. Combo said he did not believe one word which the
prisoner's witness had stated and he sentenced him to 14
days' hard labour, ,

ACCIDENT IN A SAW-MILL.—A serious accident
happened a few days ago in Woolwich Dockyard to Mr.
James Towel', paymaster of the flagship Fisgard. Mr.
Towel' was accompanying a party of lady friends through
the steam saw-mills in the dockyard. He wag pOiII ting out
the perfection and efficiency obtained by the circular saw,
when the little anger of his left hand was caught in the
sharp revolving teeth of the saw, and completely cut off at
the second joint. He hastened to the assistant-surgeon,
Mr. Humphrews, who found it necessary to amputate the
lacerated part at the lower joint. The sufferer is now in a
fair way of soon being able to resume his duties.

A BEAUTY "MARRYING RICH."

ee Paris correspondent of the Montreal Herald thus
describes the matt iage of a beautiful but penniless girl of
sixteen to one of the richest of the stockbroking nabobs of
the Parisian Bourse, aged eighty :—" The octogenarian
bridegroom, with that lave of theatrical effect so strong in
the French heart, laid it down as an indispensable condition
of the alliance, that the young lady should wear, during the
performance of the ceremony, a simple dress of white tarie-
tane over a muslin petticoat, and no other ornament of any
sort or kind than the wreath of orange blossoms and white
veil, without which no French woman, from the ragpicker to
the duchess, would ever believe herself legally married.
The pretty bride consented to the simple gown of tarle-
tane, but begged with tears to be allowed to wear it over e
white silk skirt, The mother, sisters, aunts 'and cousins,
all joined their entreaties to those of the damsel, and tears
failed to soften his decision. He had caused a trousseau,
fit for a princess, to be prepared :for his youthful bride,
and had purchased for her a magnificent assortment,
But he was determined to produce the stage effect
he ,had contrived, and to figure a King Cophetua,
'
raising a beggar girl to the height of his royal
dignity, by causing his bride to be seen at the etairie and
the church in the very modest toilet he bad prescribed
as an indication of the poverty out of which hb was
to lift her, and displaying her, at the banquet and ball
which were to take place immediately on the conclusion
of the double ceremony, in a marvellous robe of the
costliest lace worn over an underskirt of the richest satin.
covered with diamonds valued at about eighty thousand
dollars, and all the accessories of her toilet in corre-
spending style. The old fellow carried out his vainglori-
ous programme to the letter. The crowd of speotatora
attracted to the ceremony by the enormous wealth of
the aged bridegroom and the beauty of the young bride,
who, it was supposed, would be arrayed for the occasion
with a degree of splendour in keeping with the wealth
of the former. were dreadfully disappointed at the ex-
cessive simplicity of her attire, and the humble toilet of
her relatives, and were both scandalised at the shabbi-
ness of the stock-broker's behaviour and indignant at
finding therm elves thus defrauded of one of those gra-
tuitous spectacles which Parisians consider tie equally
their right and delight. However, as some scores of
invited guests sat down to the banquet in the splendid
hofadhisbe and some thousands of guests
hotel which the stock broker bad fitted up as the scene
ball, the post-nuptial transfor-
mation of the beggar-girl into the queen was speedily
bruited through Paris; and the laugh excited at the
whimsical vaulty of the purse-proud bridegroom has gone
a good way towards consoling the sight-loving public for
the disappointment created by the want of splendour e.'t the
wedding.

CRICKET.

MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND V. COUNTY OP
SussEx.—This match at the Brunswick (Box's) Ground,
near Brighton, ran into a third day (Wednesday), and
though T. Hearne and Mr. R. D. Walker struggled well
to place their side in as good a position as possible, the
former scoring 134 and the latter 37, the total of the M.C.C.
innings closed for 216, which left Sussex 72 to get to win,
and they succeeded in doing so with five wickets to go
down. During the match some fine hitting was displayed
on both sides.

ONE ARM v. ONE LEG.—It is ten years ago since wo
chronicled a match of this kind, which took place (as now),
on the Surrey Ground, Bennington-oval. The game com-
menced yesterday, and as the announcement bill said,
" Cricket under difficulties, by the Veterans of England,"
it was truly so. Legitimate cricket is generally well
patronised, but this, though not in the category, was espe-
cially so, some three or four thousand spectators being pre-
sent to witness what may be termed in modern phraseology,
a " sensation match." The Veterans of England com-
prise those who have served their country, and are now
pensioners in Greenwich College, but the sides selected to
play were minus a leg or arm. The One Leg side went in
first, and to describe the ludicrous manner in which they
made their runs would be impossible, but the amusement
they caused was great ; and those of the One Arm in the
field—fancy their trying to stop a ball with their hats, or
dropping themselves so as to stop it bodily, the shouts of
the spectators in the meanwhile urging the batsmen to
" run it out," and the scene may be completed by imagina-
tion. The score of the One Leg side reached 91, and two
or three of them seemed as if they had used a bat before.
On the side of the One Arm 73 was scored. The match will
be continued this morning.

FORGERY ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

A respectably-dressed genteel-looking young man,
20 years of age, who at first gave his name as GBO.
Samuel Stokes, a clerk, residing at Arbitas-hint
Galway, but afterwards stated that his real name
was George Wilkin, was placed at the bar of the
Mansion-house ye3terday, before Mr. Alderman
Challis, locum tenens for the Lord Mayor, charged
with forging and uttering a forged endorsement to
a bill of exchange for £2,000, with intent to defraud
the governor and company of the Bank of England.
George Russell, detective officer, was on
duty this morning with Sergeant Moss at the Bank
of England. In consequence of information which
I received I waited in the hall, and there saw the
prisoner with Mr. Adams, who held in his hand five
£lOO notes, which I produce. They are cancelled.
Another gentleman named Gough was there like-
wise, and he held in his hand the bill of exchange
which I produce, drawn on the Bank of Ireland for
£2,000. It is dated Aug. 20, 1862, and made pay-
able to the order of John Robinson, Esq., addressed
to the cashier of the Bank of England, and signed
Wm. Paten, for the Governors and Company of the
Bank of Ireland, payable on demand. The bill is

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.

Yesterday the half-yearly general meeting of the pro-
prietors was held at the Euston terminus—Mr. R. Moon in
the chair.

The report stated that there was a balance on revenue
account of £66,000, and that the total expenditure on capi-
tal account, up to the present period, was £4,453,000.
The meeting having been made special, the CHAIRMAN
moved that under the powers guaranteed by the London

in substitution for several descriptions of stock now exist-
ing, £2,468,000 new capital be created, bearing a preference
dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, to be guaran-
teed by the London and North Western Company, and to
be " Chester and Holyhead (London and North Western)
guaranteed 5 per cent. stock," such stock to be, with the
consent of the London and North Western, applied exclu-
sively in substitution for surrendered stock or shares of the
Chester and Holyhead Company in the following propor-
tions—namely, for and in lieu of every £lOO stock of the
Chester and Holyhead Railway entitled to a dividend
at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, there shall be issued
the said guaranteed stock to the amount of £lOl for and in
lieu of every 4100 of stock, the Chester and H. ,lyhead to be
entitled to a dividend at the rate of £5 10s. per cent. per
annum in respect of guaranteed stock of £110; and for and
in lieu of every £IOJ of ordinary stock of Chester and Holy.
head there shall be issued, after the Ist of March, 1863,
guaranteed stock to the amount of £5O.
The motion was agreed to.

WESTMINSTER.

MR. WEMYSS JOBSON AGAIN.—EXTRAORDINARY
AFl•AlR.—lmmediately upon the magistrate taking his
seat on the bench this morning, Mr. Wemyss Jobson,
addressing him, said " I have taken the liberty of waiting
upon you this morning to inquire when it would be per-
fectly consistent with your convenience to have the written
information to which you and your brother magistrate,
Mr. Ingham, have alluded, prepared. I was informed by
both of you that an information in writing supported by
the oaths of two credible witnesses is necessary before any
other proceedings can be taken in the case as I have laid it
before you."

Mr. Arnold—You are making a charge of perjury
against some one.

Mr. Jobson—Yes, against Mr. Benjamin Disraeli.

Mr. Arnold—Have you the information ?

Mr. Jobson—l have not. I did not know that I was
to bring it. I understood it was to be prepared under your
direction.

Mr. Arnold—l am sorry that you should have misunder-
stood tke matter. It would be necessary for yeu to bring
it duly prepared.
Mr. Jobson—And the witnesses.

Mr. Arnold—lt must be supported, as I before told you,
by the oaths of two credible witnesses.
Mr. Jobson—Yes, I am aware of that. I should have
called Mr. Paynter, your colleague, but I find I am unable
to do so, as he is away ; but I may overcome the difficulty
by calling yourself, and, if I may take the liberty, the gen-
tleman who sits here under you as chief clerk.
Mr. Arnold—You cannot call me before myself.
Mr. Jobson—l can call you before Mr. Ingham.
Mr. Arnold—l dont see what you think I can prove.
Mr. Jobson—You heard the perjury. It took place be-
fore you, and you can prove it.

Mr. Arnold—You must, however, bear in mind that this
matter came before me in the course of my duty as a magis-
trate, and if I were subpasnaed by you, and appeared, as I
should be bound to do in respect to the law, I should declin
to answer any question put to me of what occurred in the
exercise of my magisterial capacity. One of the judges of
the lane. so called upon to give evidence of anything that
had occurred before him would decline to answer such
questions, and would be justified in law in that refusal.
Mr. Jobson—lndeed, sir.

Mr. Arnold—There could be no necessity
to call the
magistrate to prove what took place in this court, as every
other person would be a witness that heard it.
Mr. Jobson—Then I must supply the deficiency by call-
ing another gentleman who heard what occurred.
Mr. Arnold—You must bring your informations here
prepared and supported in the way you have been informed.
Mr. Jobson--I will do it.

Mr. Arnold—The witnesses must prove that what was
sworn on the occasion upon which you complain was false,
Mr. Jobson—Mr. Disraeli's own secretary will prove that.
Mr. Arnold—When the information is prepared and
brought here it will be seen whether thew is sufficient to
institute proceedings upon.
Mr. Jobson—l will attend to the matter.

SOUTHWARK.

STABBING A Wou.t.N.—Charles 'Woman, a ruffianly
looking young fellow, who was described on the police-
sheet as a labourer, was charged with a desperate assault on
a female, named Ellen Baker, one of the frail sisterhood,
who have become such a nuisance in th© Borough during
the last twelve months.

The complainant, who had a slight cut under the left eye,
said that she was in Tooley-street this morning between
one and two o'clock, in company with some other girls,
when the prisoner crossed the road and abused her, after
which.he drew a clasp knife and deliberately struck her in
the face inflicting the wound under her eye. He would in
all probability have done her some serious injury, but for
the intervention of the police, who took the prisoner into
custody.
A, 482, proved to having seen the prisoner strike the com-
plainant without having received any provocation, and he
produced two clasp knives which be had taken from his

person.

prisoner, who denied the charge, and
ing she was in company with the prisoner and some other
females, when the complainant, who was at the opposite
side of the road, commenced abusing him and ultimately
struck him in the face.
The policeman war recalled, and stated it was impossible
the complainant should have assaulted the prisoner without
his seeing it, as he was standing opposite the parties until
he saw the latter attack the complainant with his knife.
Mr. Combs said he did not believe one word which the
prisoner's
witness had stated, and he sentenced him to 14
days' hard labour.

COMMERCIAL DOCK COMPANY.---(MEETING
THIS DAY.)— A meeting of this company was held to-day,
to authorise the conversion into capital of the borrowed
moneys due by the company, and the raising the necessary
funds for that purpose by the creation of new shares (repre •
suited by ordinary stock) of the company. The resolution
of the directors was agreed to.
CAUTION TO LODGING-HOUSE KEEPERS.—We
have received from the Metropolitan Police-office the fol-
lowing description of three men, who have committed a
number or robberies under pretence of seeking for furnished
apartments ;--let. Age about 4.0 ; height, 5 feet 10 inches;
rather slim, florid complexion. 2d. Age about 34; height,
5 feet 7 inches. 3d. Age about 30 ; height, 5 feet 7 inches ;
sallow complexion, hat turned up at the sides. They are
all respectably dressed.

ACCIDENT IN A SAW-MILL.—A serious accident
happened a few days ago in Woolwich Dockyard to Mr
James Towell, paymaster of the flagship Fisgard. Mr.
Towell was accompanying a party of lady friends through
the steam saw-mills in the dockyard. He was pointing out
the perfection and efficiency obtained by the circular saw,
when the little finger of his left hand was caught in the
sharp revolving teeth of the saw, and completely cut off at
the second joint. He hastened to the assistant-eurge°n,
Mr. Humphrews, who found it necessary to amputate the
lacerated part at the lower joint. The suffarer is now in a
fair way of soon being able to resume his duties,

TILE YOUNG SCAVENGER.

A poor crossing-sweeper! Well, and what of
that P Better far be even that, than nothing at all.
A scavenger, or a shoeblack, or a chimney-sweep
may each be respectable in their way ; aye, and
render themselves useful members of society; for
what should we do were there no scavengers, or
shoeblacks, or chimney-sweeps ? It is bad enough
even now to pass along our crowded streets on a
drizzly day, sadly besmattered with mud ; but
what if there were no boy to sweep the crossing
where the mud is ankle-deep ; or if there were
night the streets so
day ? If perchance Jonathan is de-
tained from home a little later than usual, and,
nthoro
snegaevdenbgyers to sweep by
between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, sees
these poor scavengers just commencing their labour
of sweeping and cleansing the streets, he says within
himself; " These are a useful class of men, and ought
to be regarded and respected as such."
And then who but likes to see the sweep-boy, in
addition to his more legitimate calling, politely
clearing the way so that the flurried and anxious—
it may be delicate—female, may cross the crowded
passing omnibus or

gracefulness that has
done honour to the follower of such a lowly palling,
and which, if pursued with truthfulness, honesty,
and sobriety, will most assuredly raise the indivi-
dual to a position still more worthy of such con-
duct.

the dusty or the dirty walk through the London or
