THREATENING THE SIMMERS OF THE JUNIOR UNITED

SERVICE CLUB.

Lieutenant Frederick-Mundell, 4, King-street, Port-
man-square, was brought up in custody of Sergeant
Bewley, of the D division;.eliarged, on a warrant signed
by P. Bingham, Esq., one of the magistrates of this
court, for that he did, by means of a menacing letter,
unlawfully threaten one Samuel Pole, and other members
of the Junior United Service Club, whereby the said
Samuel Pole apprehends that he and others are in danger
of some bodily harm from him, the said Frederick
Mundell.

Several gentlemen, members of the club, were in at
;endance to watch the case.

Mr. Samuel Pole said he was a Major in the army,
and one of the members of the Junior United Service
Club. The letter which he now produced had been re-
ceived by the chairman and committee of the club from
the defendant. He did not know whether the letter was
in the handwriting of the defendant or not, but believed
it was.

Mr. Leadley, the chief clerk, read the letter above al-
luded to, in which the writer complained that he had
been treated in an unjust and ungentlemanly manner by
the committee and members of the club, by their ejecting

him from the club, of which he had been ;, member, that
he demanded to be restored to his membership, and
called upon Mr. Pole and the other members to act to-
wards him as became gentlemen and officers, and that if
they did not do him justice he would wreak summary
vengeance upon the whole of them. The letter was
signed Frederick Mundell.

-Mr. Bingham said-the .matter need not go any fur.
her ; and told the defendant that a letter couched in

such language as the one first read was not allowed by
law. If he (defendant) was the writer of that letter, to
save further trouble, he (Mr. Bingham) should order him
to enter into his own recognisance in 2501. to be of good
behaviour for the next three months. And he should
also call upon him as a gentleman of honour to promise
not to use threats towards complainant and the other
gentlemen connected with the club.

The defendant faithfully promised not to repeat the
offence, and having entered into the required recogni-
aanee, left the court.

THE EIIRIALS IN MARYLEBONE.—On Saturday, a
meeting of the parocial authorities was held at the Court-
house, Marylebone, for the purpose of taking steps to
close the vaults under the parish church, Christ Church,
of Trinity Church, and St. John's-wood Chapel. Mr.
Churchwarden Stephens presided. On the motion of
Sir J. J. Hamilton, Bart., seconded by Mr. Harlowe,
the report of the burial vault committee, which recom-
mended the closing of the vaults under the above
churches, and that when interments should take place
in the unoccupied portions of them they should be only
used as catacombs and be hermetically sealed, was
unanimously adopted.
AN EMIGRANT SHIP ON THE GOODWIN SANDS.—
On Saturday intelligence was received at Lloyds, that,
at ten o'clock that morning, a large Dutch vessel,
called the Febro, had gone on to the Goodwin Sands.
Immediately on the vessel striking, signal guns were
fired, and it being ascertained that she had 300 emi-
grants on board, the Deal boatmen and others put off
in their luggers to render assistance and save the pas-
sengers. On nearing the vessel it was found that the
sea was making a clear breach over her ; and, a line
being got out, the women and children were dragged on
board the luggers, and subsequently the men. Some of
the latter, however, in their eagerness to escape, fell
overboard, and were carried away. by the sea, six un-
fortunately perishing. The remainder, however, were
safely landed at Deal, where they received the most
hospitable attention. Fortunately the weather mode-
rated, and permitted the Deal boatmen to lighten the
vessel by casting a considerable portion of her cargo
overboard, and thus prevented her sinking into the
sands ; and it is hoped she will get off with the flood.
Unfortunately, however, in order to save the ship, the
private effects of the poor emigrants have been nearly
all sacrificed.
