MISCELLANEOUS.

Saturday being the anni•ersary of the birth of Prince
Albert, the ships in commission were dressed in colours,
with the Royal standard at the mainmast head. The
standard was also hoisted at the dockyard citadel, and the
several other public establishments. At noon Royal salutes
were fired, as customary.

The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Capt. tho Hon.
Josoph Denman, and the Fairy tender, returned to Ports-
mouth harbour from Cowes yesterday morning.

The fine now transport-ship Baragnay d'Hilliers, Capt.
Izod Downes, sailed on Saturday from Deptford, for
the conveyance of French troops in the Baltic, Govern-
ment having-altered her name from Hongomont in compli-
ment to our allies and the French general commanding
there, with the sanction of her owner, Mr. Duncan Dun-
bar.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE COMMANDANT Or ROYAL
MARINES.—We regret to announce than a serious accident
occurred to Colonel Coryton, R.DL, on Thursday afternoon
last. The gallant officer was in his boat, which ran foul of
the Sir Francis Drake, steam-packet, in Stonehouse Pool,
by which the mast of the boat was carried away, falling on
Colonel Coryton's head. The blow was very severe, laying
the head open, but we are glad to find no serious result is
anticipated.—Plymouth Mail.

CAPTAIN HALL AT HELSINGPORS.—Private letters state
that W. King Hall, in the Bulldog, during a late recon-
noitre of the fortresses of Sweaborg, went within a mile
and a half of the Russian fleet ; and that, had that offi-
cer's information been acted upon immediately, it is prob-
able a successful attack might have been made upon the
Russians without interruption from the batteries. The
oversight on the part of the Russians has no doubt been
rectified ere this.—J3crwick Warder.

DEVONPORT, AUG. 27.
Yesterday the troops were embarked from the Eudy-
moir hulk on board the Lord Auckland transport, which
had been delayed in consequence of having the cholera on
board. She is now ready to resume her voyage to the
East Indies.

DESTRUCTION OF THREE sarrs BY
FIRE, AND LOSS OF LIFE.

Among the numerous casualties reported in the course
of the last two or three days to Lloyd's were three sad
losses by fire, attended with a melancholy sacrifice of
life, the particulars of which, although brief, are as
follow :—The barque Townsend, Captain G. E. Wood-
son, outward bound to Valparaiso, was totally lost by
fire on the 13th of May, two days after rounding Cape
Horn. The fire was supposed to have originated in the
main hold amidships, and was detected about nine o'clock
in the morning by smoke issuing forth from the forward
ventilator. The hatches were immediately removed,
and all hands employed to get at the seat of the fire ;
but the captain, finding it impossible for the men to re-
main below on account of the intense heat, had the hatches
battened down, and with sail cloths laid over in order to
stifle the fire. This also failed, and soon after 5 o'clock
in the evening they were compelled to take to the boats,
and abandon the ship. For six days and nights they were
exposed to the greatest possible privation. Two out
of the four boats were capsized, and 12 of the crew met
with a watery grave. The survivors eventually succeeded
in reaching Massafulra, where they got on board the
Peruvian barque Andes, bound for Valparaiso. The
cause of the fire is not mentioned.

The second loss was that of the barque William the
Conqueror, from Barbadoes, bound to London. She was
entirely destroyed by fire on the 9th of July. The crew
had a miraculous escape. They remained by the burn-
ing wreck till the mast fell overboard. The chief mate
got entangled among the flaming rigging, and was
severely burned before he could be extricated. They (the
crew) remained in the boats till the succeeding day, when
they were picked up by the Precursor, which landed
them safely in Liverpool on Wednesday last.
Accounts from Singapore, dated the 30th of June, de-
tail the loss of a brig of war called the Sumatra belong-
ing to the Netherlands Government. She was on a
cruise in the Molucca Seas, and put into Kema harbour
to procure some medicines and provisions, and whilst
the crew were so engsged a fire broke out in the store-
room, and spread throughout the ship with such fearful
rapidity that within an hour she was enveloped in flames.
She was burnt to the water's edge. Her loss is com-
puted at 30,0001.

MURDER.- -On Saturday a warrant was forwarded to
London for the apprehension of Emma Bunham, a single
woman, charged with having thrown her illegitimate
child into a chalk-pit at Thurston, Suffolk. The police
have every reason to believe that the accused has arrived
in London for a situation. She is about 28 years old, 5
feet 2 inches high, light eyes and eyebrows, round chin,
thick lips, and an awkward rolling gait when walking.
The accused was dressed in a lilac-dress, tuscan bonnet,
and brown-shaded ribbon, when she left Thurston.
THE ESHER MURDERS.—On Saturday Mr. John
Keene, the governor of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, re-
ceived an order from Lord Palmerston, the Secretary of
State for the Home Department, for the removal of '
Mary Ann Brough, the murderess of her five children
at Esher, and who was tried for those offences at the
last Surrey Assizes, at Guildford, and acquitted by a
merciful (?) jury on the ground of insanity, when she
was ordered by the learned judge to be kept in confine-
ment during her Majesty's pleasure. As usual with
such prisoners her destination was Bethlehem Hospital,
St. George's-fields, to which place Mr. Keene conveyed
her on Saturday afternoon, when he delivered her over
to the custody of Dr. Hood and the matron, and she
was placed in the criminal ward. Since the trial and
her return to Horsemonger-lane Prison her conduct has
been very good and cheerful, but several times she men-
tioned the subject of the murder, and regretted that her
life was spared. Her health is exceedingly good, and
she is likely to be a sane inmate of Bethlehem Hospital
L for mapy year..

The following curious document, containing the
instructions given by the commander of the Rus-
sian forces in Finland for the defence of the Aland
Isles, was found after the capture of Bomarsund.
It has already appeared in the Independance Beige,
and was republished yesterday in the Moniteur :
The General Commanding-in-Chief of the troops sta-
tioned in Finland to Lieutenant. Colonel Turugelan,
of the Finnish'battalion of the Imperial Guard.
Helsingfors, arch 22, . His Majesty the Emperor, considMerino that in 1854 the
present state of political affairs the Isles of 6 Aland may
be more than any other points of Finland exposed to the
enemy's active hostilities, and that in consequence of his
enterprises their communications may be cut off for
some time, has deigned to appoint for the Isles of Aland
an adjuvant to the Governor •f Abo, with the duty of
assisting the latter in the government of the countries in
question, In the case of an interruption of the commu-
nications this adjuvant will have the powers f a civil
chief, and will act conformably to the general instruc-
tions established by the governors. For this purpose
the Emperor has deigned upon my recommendation to
nominate you to the post of adjuvant of the Governor of
Abo for the Isles of Aland, with an additional salary
payable out of the revenues of Finland of 1,750 roubles
per annum.
At the same time his Majesty the Emperor has or-
dered that a sub-officer and two private soldiers shall be
taken from each company of chasseurs of the battalions
of Finland and of the grenadiers of the Imperial Guard,
Tanbdegferommena

ofa
under your
descent
Isles of Aland to stimulate the inhabitants to repulse the
command.upon the

attack and to defend the country.
After having made the arrangements necessary for
fulfilling the orders of your Sovereign, I beg th 4 you will
repair at once to your new post, and ocCuoy yourkelf as
soon as you arrive there with the administration of the
country, taking as your guide the instructions laid down
by the Emperor.
I think it indispensible to recommend you to execute
the following measures :
First, visit in person the principal isles of the Aland
groups, and make an inspection from a military point of
view ; form an idea of the general means of defending
the country ; and, besides this, take notice of the parti-
cular spots which most deserve attention, and which are
most liable to be attacked by the enemy.
After this inspection you will not omit to place your-
self en rapport with the people of the country in general,
acquaint yourself with their habits of thought, and find
out the dispositions by which they are animated. You
should especially seek to become acquainted with the
men who exercise influence over the inhabitants, whether
mere ordinary members of society, or pastors, or others
of station. Through them you will endeavour to act on
the people, stimulating them to sentiments of devotion
to the government. To gain their confidence you must
get to know their position and their private affairs.
I recommend you at the same time to direct your
attention to the necessity of awakening a military spirit
in the inhabitants of the isles of Aland. This is of the
greatest importance, seeing the isolated position of these
isles (sic.) in relation to the coast of the continent.
While seeking to inspire the Alanders with confidence
in their own forces, you will remind them of their sacred
duties towards the Emperor. Make them feel the ne-
cessity and advantages of defending their own families.
Secondly, I entreat you to give your attention to the
means of communication between the isles and the con-
tinent in winter, and between one another in the summer
season.
Thirdly, and particularly, consider how you may throw
obstacles in the way of a hostile landing. In this respect
remember that a rugged coast surrounded by reefs
and submarine rocks is in itself, even when there is suf-
ficient water, very unfavourable to debarkation, so also
banks of sand and clay are very unfavourable, as they
hinder the enemy from supporting by the batteries of his
ships the troops which ho wants to land. These points
excepted, all the rest present facilities for effecting a
landing. For this reason look to those points at which
the enemy may debark easily, and take in time all
those precautions suited to secure the failure of his
enterprise.

FoUrthly. It will be for you to determine whether it
will be proper, in case of necessity, to transfer the in-
habitants of one island to another.
Fifth. The Aland Archipelago, like every group of
islands, offers this advantage, for defence, that one may
be informed in time, almost at every point, of the ad-
vance of the enemy. In all cases an untiring vigilance
must be maintained, especially if, in consequence of the
transference of the inhabitants of one island to another,
some of these isles are made tenantless.
Sixthly. It is equally necessary that you should fix on
the point in the interior of the isles where you mean
to offer the most obstinate resistance. You will also
examine whether there may not be means of fortifying
these points by the aid of local resources.
Seventhly.,ln this respect, as in all others, you will
be in continual communication with the commandant of
the fortress of Aland, and each of you will lend to the
other cordial support.
Eig,htly. To enable you to arm the inhabitants, if this
course should appear expedient, 500 carbines will be
placed at your disposal, with 500 ponds of lead, and
3,000 gun flints. You may at the same time take
powder from the magazine of the fortress of Aland to
the extent of 70 pouds. In distributing these arms to
the people, I pray you to be very careful to whom you
give them.
Ninthly. For the support of the men placed under
you, there will be sent the sum of 1,000 silver roubles,
and, besides this, an extraordinary sum for the special
expenses, such as hiring boats for your journeys, as well
as for the transit of the men placed under your com-
mand.

Tenthly. In case the enemy should happen to surprise
one of these isles, it is left to your care to organise de-
tachments of partisans under the command of local
chiefs, or of sub-officers of chasseurs ; that of construc-
ing fire-ships, if that should be practicable ; that of
making clearings in the isles, destroying woods, bridges,
habitations, organising the burning of forests, and, in a
word, of doing all that is possible to annoy and damage
the enemy.
In all these cases you will make reports to me
through the medium of the Governor at Abo at first,
and should matters grow more urgent, by special ex-
press. You will also place yourself in relation with our
fleet or squadron, should it be in the neighbourhood of
the city, taking cars that your communications may not
be interrupted by the way.

COMMITTAL OF AN HOTEL KEEPER ON TWO CHARGES
OF RAPE.—LEAMINGTON, Saturday.—This morning, be.
fore Sir Peter Pole, Bart., Mr. R. D. Vaughan,
Mr.
Henry Hunt, Mr. 0. Bell, and several other sitting
magistrates, Mr. Sheen of London, solicitor to the So-
ciety for the Protection of Women, made an application
for warrants against Charles Cox Hughes, of the Claren-
don Hotel, and Sarah Hancox, a woman with whom he
cohabited, on a charge of conspiring together to procure
the defilement of Susannah Pignutt, a girl aged 15, and
for a warrant against Hughes for a rape on a girl named
Emma Coson, au interesting and beautiful girl, aged 13.
Respecting the first case, it appeared from the evidence
that Hancox was living at Clarendon-cottage, and Hughes
was in the habit of goinc, there every night. Pignutt
was engaged on the 11th of May last as nursemaid, to
take care of Hancox's children. Her mistress had asked
her to allow Hughes to sleep with ber, and threatened
to send her home if she refused. She did, however, re-
fuse, and for some time preserved her chastity. One
night Hughes came into her bedroom undressed, and
got into bed with her; but, as she struggled very
violently, he soon left without effecting his purpose.
About five days after that attempt Hughes came
again, and on her endeavouring to leave the room,
her mistress came and ordered her to get into bed,
which she did. Soon alter Hughes came and effected
her ruin, Hancox holding her hands while he got into
bed, and keeping her down during the infamous trans-
action. After a consultation of a technical nature, the
Bench decided that it was impossible in this case to grant
a warrant, but ordered a summons to issue. In the
second case it appeared that the girl Emma Coson had
likewise been in Hancox's service as nurse to her two
children, and that a rape was committed upon her under
very similar circumstances to those detailed above.
The Bench in this case decided upon granting a warrant
and soon after Mr. Hughes was brought up by Inspec-
tor Roby. The witnesses were all re-sworn, and the
magistrates decided on committing Hughes for trial at
the next assizes. Bail was accepted for himself in 500/.
and two sureties in 2501. The case created great excite-
ment, and the court was filled with spectators during
the inquiry, which lasted several hours. The woman
Hancoxis a well educated, prepossessing-looking woman,
and managed to make off before the termination of the
inquiry.

INFANTICIDE IN THE REGENT'S PARK.—On Saturday
Mr. Wakley held an inquiry, at the Elephant and
Castle, Camden Town, into the circumstances attending
the death of a female child. It appeared from the evi-
dence of Mrs. Richards, housekeeper to Mr. Mayhew,
of 6, Chester-terrace, that she found the body wrapped
in a napkin, and lying in a receft of the door-sten, when
she called James Hawkins, the park-keeper, at t 'aester-
gate, who conveyed it to the station-house, and subse-
quently to the workhouse. There were no marks
or initials upon the napkin to lead to a clue of
the guilty parties, and Harris, the summoning offi-
cer, informed the court that he had made every
inquiry in the neighbourhood without being
able to trace them out. Mr. Waldegrave, surgeon to
the workhouse, said that he performed the post-mortcni
examination. The body was that of a female child, be-
tween three and four months old, and there was food in
the stomach. The hands were clenched, but the was
no disease whatever of any internal organs to accountfor death, which he conjectured arose from congestion
and effusion into the brain. The Coroner recommended
an open verdict to be returned, in which the jury Sc.
quiesced, and the investigation then terminated. REPRESENTATION OF FORFARSHIRE.—Viscount_o

can

Lauderdale Maule.

On Saturday night, between the hours of seven and
eight o'clock, a fire, attended with the destruction of
several thousand pounds' worth of property, broke out
in the Baptist Chapel recently belonging to the late Rev.
Dr. Cox, situate in Mare-street, Hackney. The sacred
edifice stretched in one direction nearly 100 feet, and it
was about 70 feet wide, containing a spacious gallery,
and pews for the accommodation of between 1,200 and
1,500 persons. The fittings of the interior of the chapel
were equal to any church of the Establishment, and, it is
stated, cost nearly 5,0001. ; independently of which,
there was a magnificent organ, which alone cost be-
tween 2,0001. and 3,0001. in one of the galleries.
From all that can be gleaned, it appears that the
organist had arrived for the purpose of tuning the in-
strument, when, on entering the organ loft, he Noticed
flames in huge bodies shooting forth from some of the
barrels of the organ. This induced him at once to give

The police, under Mr. Superintendent Walker and In-

across the streets to keep the immense concourse of per-
sons back.
The engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West
of England office were remarkably early in arriving,
and a plentjful supply of water was procured from the
East London Company's main, from which the engines
were at once set to work ; but, notwithstanding the

element ; but not until the spaciouseape was gutted.

FALL OF A GIRDER BRIDGE ON TETE
BIRMINGHAM AND DUDLEY ItAILI37AY.

On Friday morning a very serious accident occurred
on this line of railway, which, being in course of con-
struction, was so near completion that the final Official
visit of the Government inspector was to have taken
place next Friday. An iron girder bridge is thrown
over the road leading from Winsen-green to Hands-
worth. For a fortnight or more the line had been
traversed by a broad gauge ballast engine, taking usually
12 permanent carriages laden with gravel for the purpose
of filling up the interstices of the large sleepers on which
the iron rails are laid. Up to half-past eleven on
Friday morning this course was pursued without
accident. At that time the Dreadnought engine, with its
complement of laden trucks, was on its way t 0.., pot
midway between Soho and Handsworth stit)..4 . ;
coming to the spot where the bridge is thrown -a-Criiii he
-
roads, the engine and two laden trucks had passed safely
over, when in a moment the left hand iron girder gave
way, doubling up as it were in its entire centre, falling
into the highway below, and carrying with it trucks,
rails, sleepers, and iron supporters. In fact, the destruc-
tion of the whole bridge was complete, and there stands
only the right hand line of iron rails and the correspond-
ing girder ; but this is entirely displaced, although in a
whole state. Nearly one-half of the cross iron sup-
porters (rafters) are smashed in two ; and of the twelve
trucks, three only have escaped the destruction which is
the case with the others, which are lying shattered to
pieces in the road-way. So sudden was this unfortunate
occurrence, that the driver of the engine did not perceive
the least oscillation or vibration, and yet he and the
engine, the tender, and two trucks, had only passed
when feeling a strain, he turned round to see instantly
the coupling chains of the second and third trucks
broken, and the bridge and the line of trucks all sink in
one common ruin. Fortunately no one was injured,
but the accident must delay the opening of the line.
The contract is in the hands of Messrs. Branson and
Gwyther, who have had a couple of hundred men at
work at the spot. The erection of a temporary wood
bridge is contemplated, so that the progress of the works
on other parts of the line may not be materially inter-
rupted. The line is the property of the Great Western
Company, and is the connecting link between Birming-
ham and Oxford, and Shrewsbury rails, as well as the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton.

RESCUE FROM DROWNING AT SHEERNESS.—SMUYCIay
night at half-past eleven p.m., the soldiers at the guard-
house, Sheerness, were alarmed by the cries of a womaxi
on one of the bridges that another one had precipitated
herself off into the moat, and was drowning ; a brass-
fitter belonging to her Majesty's dockyard, who was
passing, immediately jumped in after her, and rescued
this unfortunate female, The soldiers got a rope which
Was fastened to her, and she was hauled up by them.
She was conveyed to the guard-house, where every as-
sistance was afforded. We hope the heroic conduct of
this mechanic in her Majesty's dockyard will not go un-
rewarded. Had it not been for this man, there is not
the least doubt that her life would have been sacrificed
by the rash act. This case is worthy of the notice of
the Humane Society.
EMBEZZLEMENT BY A RAILWAY STATION-MASTER.—
The police have received information that Mr. Frank
Sawle, late station-master at Taff .Newbridge station, on
the Taff Vale Railway, has absconded, having embezzled
sums of money to a considerable amount, the property
of the railway company. He is about 23 years of age,
and it is believed he intends to emigrate. The most ac-
tive detective officers have been sent in pursuit.
JUDICIAL AMENITIES. A singular exchange of
courtesies took place, a short time since, between Judge
Pepper, of the 7th Judicial District of Tennessee, and
Governor Johnson, of the same State. Judge Pepper,
who was a blacksmith, presented to Governor Johnson
a fire-shovel, made by the Judge's own bands. The
Governor accepted the present, and, being a tailor by
trade, returned the compliment by cutting and making
with his own hands a coat, which he presented to the
Judge.—New York Inquirer.
'ABDUCTION OF A GIRL FROM DUBLIN.—A. few days
a 6, Mrs. Ellen Quinlan, a respectable woman, the pro-
prietress of a lodging-house, No. 1, Sandwith-street,
Dublin, applied to the magistrates for a warrant against
an Englishwoman who came to lodge at her house, and
remained there for six weeks under the name of Bridget
O'Dea. It appeared that on Friday last Mrs. O'Dea announced her intention of departing that evening for
Liverpool ; she took leave of Mrs. Quinlan, and re-
quested that Mrs. Quinlan's daughter, a young girl,
should be allowed to see her to the packet and bring her
bandbox. The mother consented, and the girl accom-
panied Mrs. O'Dea, but has not since been heard of. On
inquiry at the packet office it was ascertained that places
or berths had been taken for Mrs. O'Dea and the girl,
Hannah Quinlan, to Liverpool, and thence per railway

ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY AND MECHANICS' INSTI-
TUTIONS.—GREAT MEETING AT WORSLEY.—On Saturday
afternoon a great gathering of the members of the lite-
rary and mechanics' institutions of Lancashire and Che-
shire took place at Worsley, the seat of Lord Ellesmere.
Special trains of immense length, from Manchester,
Stockport, Staley-bridge, Oldham, Burnley, Bolton,
Macclesfield, and all the principal towns of the two
counties, set down the visitors at the Patnicroft station,
about two miles from Worsley Hall, and when all were
a-serobled there could not be less than 5,000 in number.
Three special trains were required for the excursionists
from Manchester alone. Ott alighting at Patricroft,
the visitors proceeded to the Bridgewater Foundry,
adjoining the station, and witnessed in operation Mr.
Na,smyth's original steam hammer, together with all
the machinery of the extensive workshops. They then
walked to Worsley New Hall, the residence of the
Earl of Ellesmere, and visited the interesting old hall
which was formerly the residence of the Worsleys, the
Masseys, the Statileys, and the Egertons. At five
o'clock the secretaries of the various institutions met at
