POLICE INTELLI9ENCE.—Ian. 2.

MARYLEBONE.—MELANCHOLY CASE OF AT-
TEMPTED SIIICIDE.—Jane Higgins, aged 24, who
gave the address of 12, Cambridge-mews, Padding-
ton, married woman, was placed at the bar charged
with attempting to destroy herself.
Henry Kirby, 355 A, stated that about 7 o'clock
on Tuesday evening he was sent for, by Dr. Mayne,
to Cambridge-mews, where he saw the prisoner sit-
ting on a chair in an exhausted condition. After
Dr. Mayne had sufficiently restored her he took her
to the hospital, where she has remained up to the
present time.
Dr. Mayne, of 7, Upper Southwick-street, Hyde-
park, said he was sent for in a great harry to a per-
son that had taken poison, and when he got to the
mews he found the prisoner lying on the floor ap-
parently asleep. After some considerable exertion
he managed to rouse her, when she said she had
taken laudanum. He applied the usual remedies
and got it from her stomach.
Margaret Garratt stated that the prisoner was
her sister. She came home and sat down on the
chair. She shortly after got up and went and
opened the loft door, and returned again, exclaim-
ing, " I have done it, I have done it,' and placed a
bottle in her hand, labelled " poison." She at once
sent for Dr. Mayne, previous to which she gave the
prisoner some salt and water.
Mr. Mansfield—Has the prisoner been in any
trouble P
Witness—She has been in a great deal of trouble.
Mr. Mansfield—ls she married ?
Witness—Yes, Sir, she is.
Mr. Mansfield (to prisoner)—What have you to
say to this charge ?
Prisoner, who was allowed to be seated, and wept
greatly, said I have no home to go to, and do not
know what to do. I have been staying at my
sister's and brother's place, and they said they would
keep me there no longer. I done it, and I don't
know no more.

Mr. Mansfield—You are married—where is your
husband?

Prisoner—My husband left me, and he has been
twice t 3 London lately, to see his relations, and
would not see me. I am in distress, and do not
know what I do. My head seems to lose itself. He
ought to be a good husband.
Mr. Mansfield remanded her for a week, in order
that the chaplain at the House of Detention might
commune with her.

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of

so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the d►agnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and fnture mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and •confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

The America passed Cape Race Dec. 18. General Scott
went out in the Arago. It is probable that letters from
Mr. Thurlow Weed, who came to Europe with General
Scott, were sent out in the Arago. It is likely also that
the despatches of Mr. Adams, the Federal Ambassador in
London, and which would determine the period for the
reply of the Federal Cabinet to the demands of Lord Lyons
on the affair of the Trent, went out in the Arago. The
views of France, Austria, and Prussia, on the Trent affair,
must have gone out in one of the above-named steamers to
their respective Ambassadors at Washington. The news
of the naval and military preparations of England would
reach America by the steamers in question. The Nova
Scotian and Norwegian would stop at Portland, the Niagara
would call at Halifax, and stop at Boston. All the other
vessels were bound direct for New York. It is possible that
the news carried out by all the steamers reached New York
and Washington, ♦ia Cape Race, from two to three days
earlier than the dates on which the vessels themselves were
due.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Le Follet has its customary plates, whose ele-
gance of style and taste in colour give some at-
tractions to the most absurd and unbecoming toilettes.
The literary portion is nearly all poetical, which
is at least a novelty.—. Newton's London journal
has papers on two interesting subjects, namely,
" Trade Strikes," and the bearing of " Illumination
on Art Manufactures." It gives the usual list of
recent papers and reports of scientific societies,
which in this instance includes the proceedings of
the British Association. A Threepenny Magazine
has entered the lists of cheap serials, but does not
show much superiority to its competitors. The
Illustrated Dublin Journal, Duffy's _Hibernian
Magazine, and TVeldon's Register, are all ani-
mated and entertaining journals of average merit.—
The National Magazine and the Sixpenny Magazine
belong to the same class, but are of a higher
standard:—The Musical Times gives with the new
year's number Novello's " Hallelujah Chorus,"
together with a portrait of that distinguished
musician. The Lifeboat has a spirited picture of
the wreck of the Homeward Bound, together with
Mr. Michell's expressive verses. The destruction
of the Scarborengh lifeboat is naturally a principal
subject in this number. \%e must not omit to
notice a new serial, entitled the Industrial Maga-
zine, devoted to the interests of tradesmen and
artisans.

" The House by the Churchyard" is continued at
some length, and increases in interest as it proceeds.
In this division the ladies appear more prominently
on the scene. Mervyn is moat unjustly treated, as
his friends listen to some reports and then seek to
cast him off without explanation, " Aunt Becky"
makes what mischief she can by her inuendoes and
insinuations, altogether proving herself so tiresome
that it is a relief when Miss Magnolia forgets her
own manners in censuring those of her opponent.
There is much to amuse in this tale altogether, and
the accounts of the disputes that abound in the
various circles that we meet with display much
knowledge of human life, and considerable ac-
quaintance with men and manners in general. In
the article on " The Disrupted Republic," we meet
with much worthy of consideration, and some cor-
rect remarks relating to the tone adopted and the
views taken on the other side of the Atlantic. In
speaking of the evil influences that abound, the
writer thus forcibly animadverts on the conduct of
the journals :

" The Post-office Turkish Baths, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
—Dr. Culverwell has already established the reputation of
an able physician ; he has now proved himself to be a worthy
philanthropist, in as far as he has established, in the heart
of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco-
very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice
of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established,
the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct
the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess
one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand,
which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances,
and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up
his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement,
which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur-
prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire
has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the
visitor. . . We may justly say that if a man ever feels
himself regenerated and new made, it is on coming out of a
, Turkish Bath."—Era, Oct. 13, 1861.

MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS.

The annexed memorandum, from the Committee
of Mexican Bondholders, affords particulars of much
interest, not only to the creditors, but to all into•
rested in the affairs of Mexico :
The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have received.
advises from Mr. Whitehead, dated Mexico, the 29th of
November. Sir Charles Wyke had on the 21st of Nevem-
ber concluded a treaty with the Mexican Government, of
which apl cols. as transmitted by him to her Majesty's Go-
vernment, is subjoined. The Mexican Congress, however,
on the following day, at once rejected it by a majority of
15 to 19. With respect to the impending foreign interven •
lion, nothing is talked of in Mexico but resistance to the
last, in consequence principally of the antipathy of the
Mexicans to the Spaniards. The intention is to dismantle
Vera Cruz entirely, and to remove the armament to the
passes and gorges of the interior, which was actually being
done at great cost. Colonel Pickett, the confidential repre-
sentative of the Southern Confederacy, had been treated
rudely, in consequence of a dispute with an American of
the North.
He claimed diplomatic immunities, which were refused to
hire, which may lead to disagreeable consequences if the
Confederate States should prevail.
From the letter of our agents in Vera Cruz, of the Ist
ult., it appears, however, that they have since voted the
abrogation of the decree of the 17th July, enacting the sus-
pension of payments.

Mr. Thurlow Weed, who came to Europe with General
Scott, were sent out in the Arago. It is likely also that
the despatches of Mr. Adams, the Federal Ambassador in
London, and which would determine the period for the
reply of the Federal Cabinet to the demands of Lord Lyons
on the affair of the Trent, went out in the Arago. The
views of France, Austria, and Prussia, on the Trent affair,
must have gone out in one of the above-named steamers to
their respective Ambassadors at Washington. The news
of the naval and military preparations of England would
reach America by the steamers in question. The Nova
Scotian and Norwegian would stop at Portland, the Niagara
would call at Halifax, and stop at Boston. All the other
vessels were bound direct for New York. It is possible that
the news carried out by all the steamers reached New York
and Washington, via Cape Race, from two to three days
earlier than the dates on which the vessels themselves were
due.

career, under our glorious government of 1789.
Why do the leaders of the rebellion seek to
change the form of your ancient government ? Is it
because the growth of the African element of your
population has come at length to render a change
necessary ? Will you permit the free government
under which you have thus far lived, and which is
so well suited for the development of true manhood,
to be altered to a narrow and belittleing despotism,
in order to adapt it to the necessities of ignorant
slaves, and the requirements of their proud and
aristocratic owners ? Will the labouring men of the
South tend their necks, to the same yoke that is
suited to the slave ? We think not. We may safely
answer that the time has not yet arrived when our
Southern brethren will abandon their long-cherished
free institutions, and enslave themselves for the
mere sake of keeping Africans in slavery. . _

It is the conviction of my command, as a part of
the national forces of the United States, that labour,
manual labour, is inherently noble ; that it cannot
be systematically degraded by any nation without
ruining its peace, happiness, and power; that free
labour is the granite basis on which free institutions
must rest ; that it is the right, the capital, the in.
heritance, the hope of the poor man everywhere—
that it is especially the right of five millions of our
is - 'AAA §lave,4tates as wallas of
the ''al eireiwot4gietine-there, and all' our
efforts, however small or great, whether directed
against the interference of government from abroad
or against rebellious combinations at home, shall be
for freo labour, our motto and our standard here
and everywhere, and on all occasions, " Free la-
bour and working men's rights." It is on this basis
and on this basis alone that our munificent govern-
ment, the asylum of nations, can be perpetuated
and preserved.

ACCIDENT AT ST. MARTIN'S HALL.

LOSS OF LIFE.
This afternoon a frightful accident, attended with loss of
ife, occurred in St. Martin's Hall, Long-acre.
The building having been engaged for the purpose of
giving a series of concerts by the Rumsey and Newcomb's
Minstrels, from the United States, was in course of deco-
ration for the performance, and three large sunlight chande-
liers were in process of being fitted by the men in the em-
ploy of Messrs. Defries. In order to fix the chandeliers it
became necessary to construct what is termed a hang-
ing scaffold, and Mr. Prince, of Finsbury, was em-
ployed to perform this portion of the work. The
scaffold hung about 10 feet from the roof, which is 40 feet
from the ground, and this afternoon seven men, named
G eo. Standing, John Linfield,W m. Gowell, Wm. Sabey, Pat-
rick Cocklin, Edward Stevens, and R. Wood were engaged on
the scaffold securing the large centre tube, which acts as a
kind of chimney to the chandelier. About half-past three,
without the slightest warning, the lower scaffold poles, across
which some boards had been placed to form a temporary
flooring, gave way, and six of the men were precipitated
to the ground, a large portion of scaffolding falling on
them. By a most miraculous circumstance, Stevens, the
foreman, at the moment the scaffolding gave way, seized
hold of one of the small iron rods, about 12 inches in length,
projecting from the funnel of the chandelier, and was left
hanging thereto in a most frightful position. The conster-
nation caused by the accident amongst the other workmen
employed about the place was terrific, and the first thought
of every one was to extricate the poor fellows from beneath
the poles and planking that had fallen upon them. While
this was being done Stevens was seen hanging from the roof,
and three or four minutes elapsed before a ladder could be
so arranged as to enable him to save himself from impending
death. Most fortunately, by the utmost exertions, Stevens
was rescued from his perilous position; and as
soon as he reached the ground his first act
was to render all the assistance he could to the six poor
fellows lying bleeding on the floor. Sergeant Holmes,
of the F division of police, happened to be in the building,
and, without the slightest delay, he had the sufferers
conveyed to the hospital. Standing was taken to
Charing-cross, and Linfield, Gorwell, Sabey, Cocklin,
and Wood to King's College Hospital, where every
aid was instantly given to them, In a very
short time after his admission, Wood, who was
the permanent gasfitter engaged by the lessees of the hall,
expired from the severe injuries he had received, and it is
feared, from the dreadful wounds of the others, that death
will ensue to some of them.
The cause of the accident at present appears to be the
overweighting of the scaffold, which, in the opinion of some
of the parties present at the melancholy occurrence, was of
too weak a character to bear the weight placed upon it.

complainant, in fixing the dm 'e of the raffle as in Oct.
1856, had m ,ado a mistake, u she was now satisfied
that it came off in rel., 1857. These matters formed
the topic of gosbi-pTig convert ation in Portsmouth ;
and the det, endant occupying it higher position
in society than. complainant, it ryas considered he
had gained the' verdicts in both E cticns upon the
truth of his own statements, thereby imputing per-
jury to complains at, and damaging h is position most
materially.
Evidence having • been given for the Ilrosaeution,
.:Mr. Ribton applied for a remand, on the ground
of Ole absence of a material witness, which was
opposed by Mr, S.leigh, and refused by Alderman_
Rose.
Mr. lleigh delivered a very energetic address on
behalf the defend ant, and stated that, after call-
ing two o r three witnesses, he would ask the alder-
man to dismiss this charge with such observations
as would st &fondant back to the place he had
come from with his cht:racter and reputation as un-
sullied and unstained as when he lef,' it.
Some evidence as to defendant's statements at the
trial, and to, his high chars cter, having• been taken,
Alderman Rose said he had gone very carefully
;and anxiously through the case, and .he considered
it .a most important inquiry. He was bound to say,
afte; nearly eight hours' careful attetation to the
facts, .that t;.l e conclusion he had come to was that
the evi,lence did not support the cbarge, and
although the witnesses for the prosecution would
appear to :laNc made out a strong case, their evi-
dence was EON. Tether so conflicting as to preclude
the prospect of a conviction if sent before a jury for
trial. Taking a Iso into consideration the peculiar
features of comp) linant's bill of particulars, that he
shifted the dato frt. mn the 30th of October to the 15th
of February, and 111. g anteek,lents, he did not think
his position in Portsmouth would suffer by the re-
suit of the cross actions. Un, der all these circum-
stances he felt bound. to dismistl the summons, and
in tdoing so said defendant won,ld leave the court
without the slightest imputation t;11 his character.
Mr. Ribton, who had several times offered to
abandon Ouse proceedings even at &he elever.th
hour if the' defendant wou)d admit that th
had cenvinc,qd him he wall at the horse ra.ffl asked
the magistrate w. pr
d.mat at the Old Bailey Sto bind th,e prosecutor o'r to o-
secute the defen e witnesses
esCions•
Mr. Sleigh said he was quite aware that ~such a
course was open to the prosecution under a rCeent
statute, but alter the' very patio nt investigation he
did not expect such a pt oceedia,g would have been
deemed necessary.
Mr. Ribton said his elle nt'g reputation was tit
stake, and he therefore prestied his application.
The prosecutor and the witneis ses were accord-
ingly hound over to appear at the Old Bailey at the
next sessiOns.

ALLEGED DEATHS FROM STARVATION IN

IRELAND.

Mr. MAGUIRE gave notice that, on the motion for
going into committee of supply on Friday next, he would
draw attention to deaths which had occurred in Ireland, as
it was supposed, from starvation ; ask the Government if
they had received any information on the subject, and, if
so, what course they intended to pursue ; and to ask whether
they have any objection to lay such correspondence on
the table.
THE PEGU PRIZE MONEY.

Captain J RVIS asked the Secretary of State for India
why the Pegu prize money, arising from the sale of prize
property captured in Pegu in 1852 and 1853, and ordered
to be distributed by Order in Council of the 12th day of
September, 1860, had not yet been so, and when it would be.
Sir C. WOOD said that he could not state exactly when
the money in question would be distributed, but the Royal
warrant authorizing the grant was made out last September,
and forwarded to the Government of India. It appeared that
the applications for the prize money terminated only on the
31st of December last, and when the rolls had been com-
pared the distribution would take place.
