THAMES.

CHARGE OF ROIII3ING A GERMAN STOKER.—Mary
Donovan was placed at the bar before Mr. Woolrych, the
presiding magistrate, charged with stealing from William
Antonio, a German sugar baker, at a brothel, at 23, Mer-
rett-street, a *gold watch and silver chain, of the
value of £lO. The prosecutor said that ho accompanied a
female named Catherine Bee (according to the evidence of
the police a notorious thief) to her lodgings in the above-
named street. After going to bed with the female a knock
came to the door, and she cried out " Oh, here is my hus-
band ; for God's sake get out." The prosecutor on gaining
the street missed his watch and silver chain. The
police having been called, constable 158 of the H division
went and searched the bed on which the prosecutor had
been sleeping with the woman, and there found the silver
chain, but the watch was missing. The first woman had
no doubt taken the watch and absconded with it, and as a
further ruse had sent her companion, a well known thief,
into the apartment where the German had been sleeping.

The magistrate said that it was a case that demanded to
be further investigated, and for that purpose remanded the

prisoner.

INDECENT ASSAULT.—Joseph Farrand, a Swiss, was
charged before Mr. Woolrych, the presiding magistrate,
with an indecent assault upon a girl only seven years of
age. The evidence, which is unfit for publication to extenso,
went to show that the little child went with another girl to an
ice-cream shop on Sunday afternoon last, and whilst there
the fellow assaulted her in the most beastly manner.
Mr. Inspector Dendy, of the H division, who had the
case in hand, and who had paid a great deal of trouble to
the case, said that when the prisoner was brought to the
station he said plain enough that he could not speak Eng-
lish, a good sign that he knew how to speak it, but in the
dock he feigned not to understand what the witnesses were
stating against him, but Mr. Woolrych fully committed
the prisoner for trial.

THE MASSACRES , BY INDIANS IN
MINNESOTA.

A despatch from St. Paul, dated Aug. 26, gives
the following additional particulars respecting the
Indian outbreak :

" The latest news from New Ulm ig to Saturday
night. This village is nearly burnt up. An arrival
from Crow Whig direct brings intelligence that
Hole-in-the-day, the great Chippewa chief, issued
a proclamation that he would not be responsible
for the conduct of the Indians after Tuesday, and
warning the whites to leave the country before that
time. Hole-in:the-Day sends a despatch to Corn-
misiioner Dole and Judge Cooper to come up
and make a treaty. The Chippewa agent, Wal-
ker, against whom complaints have been made
by the Chippewas, is reported to have committed
suicide in a fit of insanity. The Chippewa diffi-
culty following so close upon the Sioux raid causes
great alarm. The northern part of the State is
making earnest application for military aid. Major
Fowler,. with 50 mounted men, made a reconnais-
sance on the Fort Ridgely route. He brings the
bodies of some women, killed within 20 miles of St.
Peters, and reports the destruct:on of property as
beyond calculation. The Indians attacked New Ulm
on Saturday. The fight continued till late in the
evening. Nothing has been heard frcm there'since.
Governor Sibley asks for a full regiment to be at
Once sent up:. 'The Indians, he thinks, have 4,000
or 5,000 warriors to meet, sooner or later. L. A.
Evans, mayor of St. Cloud, writes to the governor,
that a committee of reliable citizens, appointed to
visit the scene of the recently reported inurilers,
had just returned. They went as far as Painsville,
and found some 200 in the vicinity of that place
murdered. In Stearns, Meeker, and Monongahela
counties many persons have been driven from their
homes, leaving their crops but partially harvested.
Arrivals at this city from New Ulm report the
usual horrible scenes, too shocking to recount."
A Chicago despatch of the same date says :

"The St. Paul Press of the 24th says a careful
consideration of the evidence accumulated so far
forces the conviction of the influence of white
men at the bottom of the Indian massacres.
For weeks past white men and Missourians
have been among them. The facts that remote
tribes like the Yanktounaes and Cat Heads are
moving in concert with the Sioux, and that a large
force attacked a fortified artillery post like Fort
Ridgeley, which is an attack without precedent in
Indian history ; and that the Indians are butcher-
ing missionaries who have spent their lives among
them, and who would in ordinary disturbances pos-
sess great influence over them, forces us to the con•
elusion that this outbreak is a part of a deliberately
concerted plan, its purpose being to embarrass and
distract the general government by alarming it for
the safety of the frontier, and requiring the recep-
tion here of a large number of troops whp might
other wise be differently engaged."
