Social Science Congress, at Guildhall, is intimate
with her family, and will shortly be in attendance.
Alderman Besley—l think it would be better to
remand her for a few days, until her friends can
come forward.
Mademoiselle (partly in English and partly in
French)-oh, Monsieur, please settle it at once.
Alderman Besley-1 have no wish to detain you,
but I cannot turn you loose in this great city in
your present unprotected condition. If your friends
come up in the meantime I will let them take you
away.
Mr. Ludlow here made his appearance, and on
seeing him Mademoiselle immediately burst into
tears, and covered her face with both her hands.
Mr. Moufiet—lf your worship should decide
upon discharging her, I will undertake to accom-
modate her at my hold until her friends claim her.
Alderman Besley suggested that Mr. Ludlow'
should speak to the young lady, and that gentle-
man accordingly had aa interview with her in the
magistrate's private room, and from the conversa-
tion he had had with het he said he had no doubt
she was the person she had represented herself, al-
though he did not know her personally, and ex-
plained that she had beer living with her aunt,
with whom she was not on terms of friendship. He

further said that he believed her motive in running
away and disguising herself in such unsuitable at-
tire, was to see London and the Great Exhibition,
which she had heard much talked about in Paris.
He thought it was merely a childish freak, and
nothing more.
Alderman Besley he could not part with her
until he was sure she would be taken care of, and
he therefore adopted Alderman Wilson's suggestion
to send her to Newgate, with a request to Mr.
Jonas, the governor, to accommodate her in the
private apartments of the gaol, and to provide' her
with apparel suitable to her sex and position.
The young lady, whose innate modesty alone pre-
vented her from being able to sustain the character
she had assumed, was then withdrawn from the
court, and was ultimately conveyed in a cab to the
-residence of Mr. Jonas, where she will meet with
every care and attention.

GREENWICH. REMARKABLE CHARGE 01 AT-
TEMPTED SIIICIDE.—ANOTHER TRAGEDY PRE-
VENTED.—Edward Webb, landlord of the Lads of
the Village beer-shop, Willow-road, Syden ham, was
placed in the dock before Mr. Maude, charged with
attempting to commit suicide by discharging
loaded gun at his head, and by which he and his
wife narrowly escaped with their lives.
The facts of the case are of an extraordinary cha-
racter. The wife of the prisoner, in the year 1847,
married a man named Thomas Sabin, the son of a
farmer, by whom she had four children. Her hus-
band deserted her six years afterwards and went
abroad, where it was supposed he had died. In
1857, Mrs. Sabin deeming herself a widow, was
married to the prisoner, by whom she has a family
of five children. To her astonishment about three
months since, the first husband returned to this
country from Italy to claim some property, which
had been lung a subject of dispute in the Court of
Chancery, and had, it appears, expressed a desire
that himself and wife should come together agaii.
This came to the knowledge of the prisoner, who,
in his supposed wife's presence took a loaded gun,
held the muzzle of it to his head, and discharged its
contents. The woman, seeing what was being at-
tempted, ran forward, and seizing hold of the muz-
zle of the gun, received part of the contents in her
hand, several shots entering the face of the pri-
soner, and otherspenetrating the ceiling of the room
in which the affair took place. They were both
subsequently attended by medical gentlemen,
and the injured woman was conveyed to Guy's
Hospital, where it was found neeessary to amputate
one of the fingers of the right hand.
The prisoner, when taken into custody by police-
sergeant Best, 27 R, behaved very violently, struck
the officer a heavy blow behind the left ear, and
destroyed his uniform.
The prisoner, who had nothing to say in answer
to the charge, was remanded for a week.

LIVERPOOL—JiTNE 13.
At to-day's market there was a large attendance of the
usual town and country trade, and of millers from a
distance. Wheat met an extensive demand, and a large
business resulted at an advance of 2d to 3d per 1001 b.
Flour held for more money, but a limited sale Oats were
in some instances id per 451 b over last Tuesday's rates,
and oatmeal fully maintained late prices. Barley, beans,
and peas in fair request, and the turn dearer. Indian corn
attracted considerable attention, and all the mixed offering
at 22s per qr was speedily disposed of.
