WESTMINSTER.

AN APPARENTLY OLD AND PRACTISED SMASHER.—Geo.
Wilson, a middle-aged man, well known to the police, was
charged with uttering a bad shilling and tendering another
well knowing them to be counterfeit coin.
Mr. John Barratt, a cheesemonger, residing at 1, Little
Chapel-street, Westminster, said that the prisoner came
into his shop last night and asked for a rasher of bacon.
Witness served him and asked for 4d. for the bacon, pri-
soner looked suspicious, and when he quietly put a shilling
on the counter, witness immediately observed that it was
bad. He bent it and cut it, and gave it back to prisoner,
who paid 4d. and left the shop. Witness followed him.
Mr. Mills, landlord of the Castle public-house, said the
prisoner came into his house about 7 o'clock and asked for
a pint of beer. He was served, and selected from a hand-
ful of halfpence a bad shilling and tendered it. Witness
was about to give him change when Mr. Barratt and another
person spoke to him, and he found the shilling was bad.
He returned it to the prisoner, who paid for the beer, and
then putting the shilling in his mouth swallowed it. He
was given into custody.

The other bad shilling was found nearly broken in two
outside the public-house.
Prisoner was remanded for a week. He admitted the
facts.

(From the Correspondent of the Times.)
WELLINGTON, Oct. 14.
The Government proclamation of last month de-
claring the West Coast war at an end has unfortu-
nately not only been treated with contempt by the
natives, to whom it granted a general amnesty, but
they have treacherously murdered the agents em-
ployed in its circulation.
On the 21st September a native policeman named
Kereti was despatched by Brigadier-General Waddy
to the Waitotara tribe. Kereti, who himself belonged
to that tribe, made the assembled natives acquainted
with the fact of the issue of a peace proclamation,
and the Governor's intention to send copies if they
felt inclined to receive them. On their professing
themselves anxious that copies should be sentKereti
returned to the Wereroa redoubt to report progress,
and set off next morning with a full supply. He bad
hardly got out of sight when the report of firearms
was heard, and on Col. Trevor despatching a party
to his relief he was found stripped of his clothes and
with six bullets in his body. He survived two days
and was able to name his murderers.

Fire at the Swan's Nest Hotel, Swan•alley.

- - ' 0

Shortly beforemidnight on Monday the residents
of Swan-alley were terribly alarmed in consequence
of a fire breaking out in the premises belonging to
Mr. G. Sutton, known as the Swan's Nest Hotel,
situate in the above-named narrow thoroughfare.
The inmates at once gave the necessary alarm, and
in the course of a few minutes Conductors Low and
Perryman attended with two of the Royal Society's
escapes—one from the Royal Exchange, and the
other from Finsbury. Plenty of the New River
Company's water having been , procured, the
fire-escape men went to work, and they were
enabled to keep the fire at bay pending the
arrival of other assistance. Several hand and steam
fire-engines were also soon in attendance, but we
are happy to say that, although the alarm was great
throughout the neighbourhood, the assistants pre-
sent were enabled to extinguish the fire without the
aid of the fire-engines. Considerable damage has,
however, been done to the beds, furniture, clothing,
&c., by fire and water, but not to the extent of re-
tarding in the least degree the business of the esta-
blishment. The origin of the fire is unknown. The
sufferer was 'Stated to hay() been insured.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTLIEAN CIRCUIT—LIVERPOOL, Dec. 18.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.)
RAMPSON, ADMINISTRATRIX, V. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAIL-

WAY COMPANY.
This claim arose out of the late railway accident at
Staplehurst on the defendants' line of railway. The plain-
tiff was the widow of Adam Hampson, formerly surgeon,
veterinary surgeon, owner of a shoeing forge, and part
owner of a cotton mill at Bolton, in this county ; and the
action was brought on behalf of herself and two children.
The defendants admitted the negligence of their servants
by the payment of ls. into court, but they left the question
of damages to be decided by the jury. It appeared that the
total income of the deceased was about £3,000 a year, but
that his family were now in receipt of about £2OO a year.
Mr. Hampson was only 40 years of age at the time of his
death, and his future prospects at that time were very
bright. It was also shown that some property which would
have fallen to his children in the event of his surviving the
present owners would now revert to other hands.
His Lordship thought that if railway companies were
to be held liable for such contingencies as these they had
better shut up business at once.
Mr. Temple, Q.C. (with whom were Mr. Millward, Q.O ,
and Mr. Baylis), on the other hand, thought if persons were,
to be deprived of their sources of income by such gross
negligence as had been exhibited in this case, they had
better retire from business at once.

Mr. Brett then addressed the jury on behalf of the de-
fendants in mitigation of damages, contending that the
jury should not regard the income of the plaintiff's hus-
band as a certainty, but open to the usual incidents of
trade.
His Lordship then summed up, recommending the jury
to view the amount of damage in a broad and equitable
sense ; not regarding it as essential to award the same
yearly income that the husband had been in receipt of, but
sufficient to enable her and her family to live decently and
respectably in proportion to the position they had been
accustomed to occupy.
The jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict
for £7,000—X4,000 for the widow, and £1,500 for each of
the children.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

The following appeared in a late edition of The Sun of
last eyening:

MAIDSTONE, Dec. 18,
THE RAMSGATE MURDER.
(From our own Reporter.)
MAIDSTONE, Monday morning.
CROWN COURT.

At ten o'clock this morning Mr. Justice Mellor
took his seat on the bench for the purpose of dis-
posing of the cases which stood for trial at the pre-
sent winter assizes for the county of Kent. The
principal charge in the calendar was the indictment
against Stephen Forward alias Ernest Southey,
who stood charged with the wilful murder of his
wife Mary Ann Jemima and his daughter Emily S.
Frances Forward at Rarnsgate, on the 10th of
August last.

The circumstance. that such an unparalleled cri-
minal was about to undergo his trial did not ap-
pear to create much curiosity, as the court was very
far from full.

The grand jury, of which Earl Brecknock was
the foreman, having been empannelled, the Queen's
proclamation against vice and immorality having
been read, his Lordship proceeded with his charge.
Having referred to several cases in-the calendar,
his lordship went on to say that one of the most
serious indictments that would have to be disposed
of was that against Stephen Forward, who is
charged with the murder of his wife and child, at
Ramsgate. The facts were extremely simple. He
was seen almost to commit the crime, and as the
evidence was so clear on the point, he did not feel
called upon to refer further to the case, as
the facts to be laid before them would be so
precise that there would be no difficulty in finding
a true bill against him. His lordship having con-.
eluded his remarks, the grand jury retired to their
room.

The grand jury found a true bill on both indict-
ments. The trial will take place on Wednesday.

LONDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 19, 1865.

.

Taking all things into consideration it must be
confessed that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has suc-
ceeded pretty well in his expedition to Hungary,
and so far satisfaction seems to prevail. He was
very well received everywhere, which circumstance
formed a striking contrast to the silence with which
the Queen of SPAIN was met on her recent return to
her capital after five months of absence. Whatever
may be the errors which the Imperial Government
have committed in point of policy, and however
insincere may be some of their most hi n
professions, it cannot be denied that great confidence
has been shown to the Hungarians, and that they
have met it in a similar spirit. The EMPEROR did
not make his way through the streets of Pesth
surrounded by military and guarded by police, but
he relied on the good-will of the
_people, who
thronged to greet his arrival. An imposing cere-
mony took place upon the occasion of the EM-
PEROR'S delivering his speech, and altogether the
affair was very impressive. The EMPEROR was
declared to have read his discourse as well as if he
had been born in Hungary. It cannot be said—
although the speech seems most comprehensive in
its details and most ingenious in its construction—
that it really removes any of the obstacles
which impede the progress of affairs, or that
it renders the solution of the problems so
difficult to solve any the more likely of occur-
The EMPEROR does not appear willing
previously concerted plans, and when
to give pp his
the excitement consequent upon his visit is over
we shall doubtless witness anew the unsettled con-
dition of affairs and the angry clamour of debate
which have already given rise to so much confusion,
and marred all progress worthy of the name. The
silence of Herr VON DEAR during the delivery of
the discourse was most significant, and if the Em-
PEROR cannot yet persuade and almost convince this
influential personage, he will find on his return that
his visit has been lost labour, and his efforts of no
avail. The EMPEROR sets out by stating that he
desires to remove those obstacles which interfere
with the " solution of the pending political questions."
In order to do this the more effectually he announces
that the intended under6tanding can neTer be arriyed

rence.

"The present may be looked upon in some measure as a

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
tion of ARTIFICIAL TEE rH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly reeemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro a the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever beforo used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and wilt support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Considerable misconception having arisen, from
the reports in the various journals, of the fire at one of our
branch establishments, leading to the inference that it was
our chief establishment, we shall feel greatly obliged by
insertion of the accompanying letter, addressed to our cus-
tomers at the branch in question, in your valuable jour-
nal, by which it will be seen that our friends and cus-
tomers will sustain no inconvenience, and that their order's
will be executed, in the interim, at Our principal works,
Queen-street and Upper Thames-street, where our powers
of production are unlimited.—Wo are, Sir, your most
obedient servants,
Joss KING and Co.
"Savoy Printing Works, Savoy-street,
Strand, Dee. 16, 1865.
" Dear Sirs,—We regret that a fire of a destructive cha-
racter occurred this morning at the above printing works,
causing considerable damage. We aro pleased, however,
to be able to inform you that it will not make any differ-
ence in the execution of your esteemed orders, as we have
arranged immediately to take up and finish all work on
hand, as also all new orders which we may be favoured
with, at our extensive chief works in Queen-street and
Upper Thames-street, until the damage is repaired.
" We beg also to notify that we have taken offices'imme-
diately adjacent, No. 1, Savoy-street, where we request
the favour of your forwarding your orders as before, which
will have immediate attention.

" Thanking you for past favours, we are, your obedient
servants, . " JOHN KING and Co."

Fire at the Swan's Nest Hotel, Swan-alley.

1111.- - -

Shortly beforemidnight on Monday the residents
of Swan-alley were terribly alarmed in consequence
of a fire breaking out in the premises belonging to
Mr. G. Sutton, known as the Swan's Nest Hotel,
situate in the above-named narrow thoroughfare.
The inmates at once gave the necessary alarm, and
in the course of a few minutes Conductors Low and
Perryman attended with two of the Royal Society's
escapes--one from the Royal Exchange, and the
other from Finsbury. Plenty of the New River
Company's water having been procured, the
fire-escape men went to work, and they were
enabled to keep the fire at bay pending the
arrival of other assistance. Several hand and steam
fire-engines were also soon in attendance, but we
are happy to say that, although the alarm was great
throughout the neighbourhood, the assistants pre-
sent were enabled to extinguish the fire without the
aid of the fire-engines. Considerable damage has,
however, been done to the beds, furniture, clothing,
&c., by fire and water, but not to the extent of re-
tarding in the least degree the business of the esta-
blishment. The origin of the fire is unknown. The
sufferer was stated to have been Insured.

This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service and provides a home free of exuense for former
inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and loss if life at sea, and: o enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.
