ALLEGED FRAUD BY A TRUSTEE.—Yesterday
James Macroft Osbourn, a cattle dealer at Chelmsford,
charged by authorit y of the Attorney- General and under the
Fraudulent Trustees Act, with appropriating to his own use
£2,300 in Bank of England stock, which he held as trustee
for the legatees under a will, was placed at the bar before
Alderman Gabriel and Alderman Copeland, at the Mansion-
house, for further examination, Alderman Gabriel com-
mitted the prisoner to Newgaie for trial, and peremptorily
refused to entertain an application to admit him to bail.

A hippopotamus was born a few days buck at
the zoological gardens of Amsterdam. Hopes were at first
entertained of bringing it up, as for some hours O'er its
birth it was playing about, the dam at the same time
watching its movements, and treating it with the greatest
care. The male, however, which was separated from the
female by a partition, became greatly agitated and made
every effort to reach the young one; the mother in the
meantime driving back the cub each time that in playing

it approached too near the partition dividing them from the
male, In the evening of the following day the male
became furious, refused to take any food, and made violent
efforts to climb the hoarding, seven feet high. The anxiety
of the mother now became intense, and each time that the
young one rose she drove it with force to the farther side
of the enclosure, that, with the hope of saving its life, it
was removed. The male and female then became quiet,
and fed as usual. New milk was given to the young one,
but it died on the following day. It is to be regretted that
more efficacious m?ans had not been adopted to separate
the male from the female, as had it been po,sible to leave
the young with the latter its life would probably have been
preserved.

COTTON FROM TURK EY. —The week's advices from
the provinces (says the Levant Herald of tho 16th instant),
concur in reporting a great extension in the cultivation
of cotton this season throughout both Roumelia and
Anatolia. The encouragement arising from the large
advance which has taken place in the price of the ar-

tide, cau-ed by the disastrous course of events in Ame-
rica, in addition to the fact that the crop is now better
handled in this country than it has hitherto been. renders
it a matter of certainty that more attention will be devoted
to its preparation for the future. It is an interesting and
gratifying fact that cotton now forms, for the first time
in the commercial history of the place, a regu-
lar article of export from the Golden Horn. The Liver-
pool steamers which sailed hence during the past
few weeks have taken away a large number of bales; the
Italian for example, which left on Saturday, had 250 bales,
and the Calpe, which is to leave next Saturday, will have a
still larger quantity. This intelligence will be satisfactory
to those who have taken an interest in promoting the
growth of cotton in the country, furnishing as it does,
encouraging proof that their exertions have not been in
vain.

The mortal remains of Prince Jerome, which had
been temporarily deposited in a vault at the Hotel des la-
valides, were on Wednesday removed to a tomb which
Prince Napoleon has had built in the Chapel St. Jerome,
close to the tomb of the Emperor Napoleon I. The abso-
lution was given by the Abbe Gambier, Cure of the Inva-
lides. The ceremony, which was strictly private, took place
in presence of Prince Napoleon and some of the officers of
his household, and the staff of the Invalides.

RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARMA-
MENT.—Yesterday, in committee of the Lords, the case for
the promoters of the Great Western Company's Ellesmere
and Oswestry line was continued, Mr. Grierson, traffic
manager, and Mr. Fowler, the engineer, being examined at
considerable length, the committee requesting the counsel
not to encumber the case with cumulative evidence. Mr.
Chorley, engineer for the millowners, was examined in the
committee of the Commons against the Mersey, Irwell, and
Weaver Navigations.

THE BATTLES BEFORE RICHMOND.—A Wash-
ington letter has the following :—" The President has
informed a member of the Senate Military Committee that
our loss in killed, wounded, and missing, in the late series
of battles before Richmond, would not exceed 15,000. This
is, probably, a correct estimate. The President found the
army much stronger in numbers than has been reported,
and in a very effective condition."
NEW ORLEANS.—GeneraI Shepley, military
commandant at New Orleans, addresses an order to the
bakers :—' Head 'quarters Military Commandant, Orleans,
City-hall, June 1. The price of flour being this day 24
dots. per barrel, bakers are requested to give, during the
ensuing week, commencing on Monday, 23d instant, as
fillows, until further notice :-24 ounces of bread for 20c.,
12 ouncei for 10c., six ounces for sc. Purchasers of bread
from whom a higher price is exacted will report their
names, the name of the baker, and leave a loaf of the bread
purchased and a statement of the price paid, at any police
station, or with any assistant provost-marshal." The wife
of General Beauregard has died at New Orleans.

SUFFOCATION IN FLOTJR.—Yesterilay morning an
inquest was held by Mr. Payne, at the Bell Tavern, Upper
Thames -street, respecting the death of William Heathe,
aged 19, a miller's labourer, who was suffocated beneath a
mass of flour at the City Flour-mills, Thames-street, on
Tuesday last, under the following shocking circumstances.
Mr. W. Edwin, solicitor, appeared for the friends of the de-
ceased. It appeared from the evidence that it was the duty
of deceased to receive the flour and prevent any stoppage in
the shocts when it was sent down from the dressing. floor
at the top of the seam mills in question. On Tuesday he
was receiving as usual in a chamber or "1 arting." and,the
flour accumulating the height of 6 feet from the floor, he
directed a person to open the shoot underneath, go as to
allow a portion to be cart ied off. This was done, and deceased
was carried down through the shoot in the midst of an im-
mense mass of flour, and the first that was known of the
occurrence was his lifeless body being dug from out of the

shoot, in consequence of there being nothing toindicateits

position when the floor was covered with the flour. Mr.
William Waite, the foreman of the mills, admitted, in
cross-examination, that two men had been previously suffo-
cated, but not under th.t present proprietors. The jury re-
turned a verdict of " Accidental death," and recommended
that proper guards should be constructed to prevent the
recurrence of such lamentable accidents. Mr. Hadley, one
of Proprietors of the mills. said that he should give instruc-
tions to the engineer to carry out the recommendation.
