THE SUN, LONDON, 'MONDAY _ EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1849,

of justice there must be altered to some extent.
Cases were brought there which should have been
summarily dealt with instead of the citizens being put
to the trouble and expense of prosecuting minor
offenders.—(Hear.)
Mr. Sheriff GOODEIART also expressed his acknow
ledgments, and said he had been so much supported
and strengthened in his duties by the Lord Mayor,
that he hoped when they both retired into private
life, he should long enjoy the honour of his
friendship.
The Court, which towards the conclusion of the
interesting proceedings became very full, was then
formally adjourned.

AUSTRIA.
A number of Hungarian prisoners arrived at Pesth '
on the 16th, escorted by a strong military force ;
among them was the mother of Kossuth.
Count Casimir Batthyani and M. Szemere, two
Ministers of Kossuth, have, according to the Breslau
Gazette, arrived at Belgrade.
The Cologne Gazette publishes the following from
Grmfenberg of the 20th :—" The Austrian Minister,
Count Stadion, who had been here for some days
drinking the waters, went last evening into the forest,
and as he had not returned at night alarm was felt,
and twenty men carrying torches were sent to look
after him, but they were not successful. The next
morning the search was resumed, and the Count was
found trembling with cold. He had been all night in
the %Nen air. The state of his mind causes serious
disquie

SPAIN.
The Madrid Gazette publishes the names and ad-
dresses of individuals arrested in clandestine gambling
houses. In one of the last batches figures the name
of one of the parochial clergy of the capital ; but his
reverence, says the Pais, pretended that he had gone
to convert sinners. Nevertheless the police took him
into custody.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette.)
ENORMOUS INHERITANCE.—It is Said in quarters
likely to be accurately informed upon the subject, that
Lieutenant-Colonel Gold, her Majesty's 4th (King's
Own) Regiment, now stationed at Portsmouth, will pro-
bably come into possession of the enormous wealth left
by Mr. Charles Bullen, the late banker of Liverpool.
The property is said to amount to between five and
six millions sterling. We hope the rumour of the good
fortune that has befallen the Lieutenant-Colonel may
prove to be well-founded. He is an officer who enjoys
the respect of all who have the happiness to be under his
command.
STAFF OFFICERS OF PENSIONERS.-4t is understood
that the Secretary-at-War has referred the memorial to
which we alluded last week to his Grace the Com-
mander-in-Chief, with whom rests the solution of the
question of the apportionment of rank to the Subaltern
Staff Officers. It is doubtful, however, if the Duke can
do anything in the matter, however willing he may be,
without the further authority of a special warrant. It
will thus remain with the Secretary-at-War to recom-
mend such warrant to her Majesty, and there can be
little doubt that Mr. Fox Manta will readily exert him-
self on this point. He never had a more deserving body
of officers to serve.
THE DAY OF PRAYER AND HUMILIATION AT THE
ADMIRALTY ESTABLISHMENTS.—We have much plea-
sure in announcing that the Lords of the Admiralty have
signified to the heads of their respective establishments
at the home ports that nothing is to be deducted from
the weekly wages of the men of the dockyards on ac-
count of those days of cessation from labour which were
appropriated to prayer, fast, and humiliation, as a
national propitiation fur the awful visitation of the
cholera.
The Lieutenant-Governorship of Carisbrooke Castle
is abolished, in consequence of the death of Sir W.
Patterson.
Captain Maitland, half ply Royal Staff Corps, i 3
Town Major at Portsmouth, vice Major Lysons, 23d
Foot.
Assistant Commissary-General Greig has arrived in
England from Halifax, Nova Scotia, on three months'
leave of absence, on the recommendation of a medical
board.
Colonel Bush, K.H., Inspecting Field Officer of the
Leeds Recruiting District, has proceeded on leave of
absence.
ADMIRAL LORD COLVILLE.—WO are authorised in
stating that Admiral Lord Colville has had no recent
increase of illness, as reported, but still continues in the
same suffering state under which he has been confined to
his house in Portland-place for the last twelve months.
THE COMMANDERS' OUT-PENSION OF GREENWICH
HOSPITAL.—The Commanders' Out-pension of Green-
wich Hospital, vacant by the decease of the Senior Com-
mander on the list, has been bestowed on Commander
William Hutchinson (1827), a most distinguished officer,
and who was severely wounded in Lord Howe's action of
the Ist of June.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
The transactions in the Mining Share market have
proved above the usual average amount, and much more
would have boon done if sellers could have been found
at fair market prices. The advance in the standard for
copper ore, and the firmness of the metal market, toge-
ther with the very general improvements which have
taken place in our leading mines, present a highly satis
factory and encouraging prospect for those who invested
when the market prices were quoted so low, and con-
tinued so for many months. In some instances shares
have advanced from 20 to 40 per cent. on the market
prices, exclusive of the dividends that have subse-
quently been paid. These results have created a consi-
derable degree of confidence in the mining interest gene-
rally, as to the safety of investments in our leading and
legitimately managed mines.
Great Cons,,lidated shares have been in request at
late quotations, and done at our present. The mine has
made a profit of nearly 8001. for the last two months
and is now stated to have very much improved.
Trelawny and Trehane are represented as having
improved, and buyers have appeared at advanced prices.
In Bedford United and Mendip hills many shares
have changed hands.
In consequence of the very considerable discoveries at
Treviskey and Barrier, in the 236 and 248 fm. levels,
the shares have been sought for and business done at
advanced prices. Buyers are also to be found for South
Basset, North Pool, South Frances, East Wheal Rose,
and other leading mines.
The continued improvements at Birch Tor and Vitifer
Mines have created considerable local inquiries for these
shares, and sellers are firm at advanced prices.
Tincrofte were much in demand yesterday, and some
business done at an advance on quotations generally

given.
Shares in the following mines have been done during
the week:—Devon Great Consols, Esst Wheal Rose,
Tincroft, Great Consolidated Mines, Treleigh Consols,
Bedford United, Trelawny, Mary Ann, South Wheal
Josiah, Trehane, Camborne Consols, Stray Park, King-
sett and Bedford, Birch Tor and Vitifer, West Provi-
dence, Hennock Lead, Treviskey and Barrier.
At the Treviskey and Barrier meeting a dividend of
4/. per share in Treviskey was declared, reserving a
balance in hand of 861. 13s. Id., with ore bills becoming
due. The profit for the months of June and July is
shown at 4581. 84. 9d. In Barrier the loss on the two
months is about 211.; the balance now due to the purser
amounting to 90Z 4s. 10i. The agent's report of the
mine is highly encouraging; the 248 and 236 fin. levels,
and a winze communicating the same, are represented
as being very productive; 350 tons of ore were sampled
on the 19th for July and August, and 350 tons were an-
ticipated for September and October.
At the Great Polgooth meeting the accounts showed
—tin sold in August and :_•'eptember, 5,2451. 8;. I 1d.,1
leaving a balance to credit, including balance of last
account, 1,460/. 7s. sd. A dividend of 4/ 10s. per
share was declared, leaving balance to credit, 3081.75. sd.
At the West Downs meeting, there appeared a balance
against the mine of 2011. 4s. 4d., and a call of ss. per
share was made.
At the Great Rough Tor meeting the financial state-
ment showed a balance of 2741. 10s. 9d. against adven-
turers, to discharge which, and for current operations, a
call of 21. per share was declared. The captain's report
holds out encouragement, more particularly in the
eastern part of the mine, where the prospects are more
favourable—the lode in he the 45 fm. level producing
good stones of ore, with indications of an improvement;
in extending the cross-cut towards the north lode, en-
couragement is given by frequent intersections of small
branches of ore, which are received as favourable omens.
At the Bryn-ar-ian meeting, the accounts were audited
to end of Aug., leaving balance of 43/. against the
mine ; a call of 103. per share was made. Tho agent's
report represents the lode in the 12 fin. level worth from
51. to 12l 10s. per fin.; and in a 10 fm. level, east and
west of the engine-shaft, the lode is producing one ton
per fin. The stopes have also been productive; and the
necessary machinery is erected, and the mine considered
in an efficient state of working.

IMPORTANT CASE UNDER TILE COUNTY COURTS
ACT —Yesterday, in acase " Shirley v. King," tried in the
City Sheriff's (Small Debts) Court, a question was raised
as to the right of the plaintiff to split a debt. The action
was brought on a promissory note for 31. The original
debt was 91., for which defendant had given three pro-
, missory notes of 31. each. His Honour, Mr. Commis-
sioner Bullock, held that the giving different notes did
notnT take the case out of the rule as to splitting the debt,
non-
suited, e plaintiff must either give up the 61. or be non-
fulhaanmdowuanitt. till all the notes became due, and sue fur
thei 'The plaintiff elected to be nonsuited.
THE lIINCKFORD AGRICULTURAL AND CONSERVA•
TIVE CLUB.-Mr. Disraeli, we find, intends to be present
at t'ie meeting of this club on Friday next. The great
Parliamentary leader of the Country party will be on a
visit to Sir John Tyrell's, at Boreham•house, in the
course of next week, and has promised to accompany
the Hon. Baronet to the festival, in consequence of which
the arrangements for the banquet have been made on an
extended scale. The old .baronial hall of Hedingham
Castle, which still remains in as substantial a state as
when it echoed with the festivity of its lords of old, is
to be fitted up for the occasion, being capable of dining
some hundreds; and there can be no doubt, looking to the
oratorical fame and the political standing of the cele-
brated visitor, that it will be filled to overflowing by the
gentry and agriculturists of this and the adjacent country.

Arnold, to answer a complaint preferred against hit,l
seel‘rlsr.ofFßraeit'licinsal
of having unlawfully refused to furnish propel:
to three female orphans named Wells, varyirrs in w
ee
from four to eight years, the children 01 parents hr )th
of whom had recently fallen victims to cholera,
The complaint was preferred by an :slant at he
children, a woman named Sarah Cheverill, the wife of
a weaver in distressed circumstances, from whs. )se
statement it appeared that the parents of the little
girls, who then lodged in one of the most confined
and filthy streets in the parish of Shoreddtch,
were attacked, about three weeks since, by cho-
lera, and having died almost at the same time.
the medical gentleman who had been in at-
tendance upon them in their last moments recom-
mended the immediate removal of the children to a
more healthy locality, lest they should fall victims
also. She (the applicant) consented, under the me-
lancholy circumstances, to receive them, and trans-
ferred them to the residence of her husband, in
Wilmot-street, Bethnal-green • but as they were very
impoverished themselves, tinA incapable of perma-
nently providing for the children, she was obliged
about a week ago to apply to the parish authorities
for assistance, and requested the overseer either to
afford them some outdoor relief or admit the little
girls
into the workhouse. The overseer refused to do
either, intimating that she had voluntarily brought the
burden of the children's maintenance upon her own
shoulders by unnecessarily introducing them into a
parish where they had no legal settlement, and as
several subsequent applications for something to be
done for them bad met with no better result, she was
compelled at last to come to this court to obtain the
magistrate's intervention on behalf of the orphans,
as her husband was incapable of keeping them any
longer.
In answer to these allegations the overseer stated,
that he did not conceive he should be justified, or ful-
filling hie duties properly to the ratepayers of an
already overburdened locality, in affording the relief
demanded in such a case, without the express sanction
of the board of guardians, as the children had no
clisim whatever upon the parish they bad been brought
to, and had, in fact, as he believed, already received
some assistance from the parish authorities of Mile-
end, whes'e, he understood, they had lived for a short
time since the death of their parents under the care
of another relative. The aunt of the children, more-
over, had been subjected to ,the customary examina-
tion at the office of the vestry-clerk, with the view to
eliciting their real place of settlement, but she was
either unable or unwilling, he could not say which,
to furnish the requisite information on the subject,
and he therefore considered himself fully warranted
in refusing the woman's application for relief until he
was put in possession of sufficient particulars to enable
him to pass the children in due form to the parish
which was legally amenable to them.
Mr. ARNOLD was willing to believe that the over-
seer had acted in the matter in accordance with what
he :ttelieved to be the strict line of his duty, but he
felt ,satisfied, at the same time, that the board of
guardians would be anxious to see a considerate view
taken where such a melancholy calamity had occurred,
and he must say that he thought it would be a cruel
case if three poor helpless children, who had been so
suddenly (?eprived of both their parents by such a
terrible visitation, should b 3 refused any kind of
relief. Whether the little girls really belonged to
Bethnal-green or not, it was manifest that they were
at all events at present casual paupers in that parish,
and as such he considered that the overseer was bound
to relieve them, until he found himself in a condition
to transfer the burden of their support to their proper
or permanent place of settlement, wherever that
might be.
After some further conversation the overseer inti-
mated his readiness to afford the children temporary
relief, until an opportunity presented itself for
obtaining further directions on submitting the case for
the decision of the board of guardians upon it.
LAMBETH.
On Saturday Mr. Horace Knight, a young fellow
whose friends are of the highest respectability, and
who a short time since held a situation of high trust
on one of the metropolitan lines of railroad, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of passing
various forged cheques drawn on the bank of Master-
man and Co.
Mrs. Eliza Robinson, of 25,Cresby- row, Wal vvorth-
road, deposed that on the evening of the 13th instant
the prisoner entered her shop and asked her for change
of a 51. cheque he then produced. Believing the
cheque to be genuine, and knowing the prisoner's
father, who had been a customer of her husband for
many years, to be a gentleman of the highest respect-
ability, she, without hesitatian, gave him the change.
On the following day ber bass,s.s.a. presented e
cheque at the banking-house, and was told there were
no effects.
Police-constable 125 P deposed that on the preced-
ing night he met the prisoner in the Walworth-road,
and knowing he was " wanted," he stopped him, and
asked if he knew anything about forged cheques, and
he replied he did not, and did not know what he
meant. Witness, however, told him he must accom-
pany him to the station, and on the way there he said
he did know something about a cheque, but should
make it all right.
Sergeant Qainnear, 1 P, requested that the priso-
ner might be remanded to a future day, when he
should be prepared to produce witnesses to establish
several other cases against him.
The prisoner, on whose person, when apprehended,
three cheques similar to those he had passed were
found, was remanded to a future day.
THAMES.
Mary Smith, alias Merrick, Bridget Mackenzie,
lhary Ann Sullivan, and Catherine Pratt, were brought
up on remand charged with hocussing and robbing Mr.
David Dorward, a master mariner.
Mr. INGHAM said he should again remand the pri-
soners, who would be ultimately committed for trial.
At the suggestion of Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, he
directed that the deposition of the prosecutor should
be formally taken and returned to the sessions, and
then remanded the prisoner. for another week.
SOUTHWARK.
During Saturday afternoon Mr. Joseph S Aomori.%
the solicitor to Mrs. Manning, attended before Mr.
Seeker to make an application for an important lettei
now in the hands of the police.
Mr. Solomons informed Mr. Seeker that Mrs.
Manning had sent for him to the gaol that morning,
and reqaested him to obtain a letter now in the
hands of the police, and which was taken away from
her by Mr. Moxey, the superintendent of the Edin-
burgh police. That letter, she believed, was of the
utmost consequence to her in getting up her defence,
as it was sent to her by O'Connor, while she was in
the service of Lady Blantyre. He, therefore, begged
to have that letter handed over to him as her solicitor,
so that it might be used as his client desired. He
begged to say, that the letter in question was ad-
dressed to her in her maiden name," Maria de Roux,"
at Stafford-house, St. James's Park.
Mr. SECKER—The letter you speak of is in the
possession of the police, and may be of some import-
ance to them ; therefore I cannot allow it to go out of
their hands. Was Mrs. Manning married at that
time ?
Mr. Solomons—She was not, I believe ; but from
her statement to me I think it will clear up the mys-
tery respecting the property found on her.
Mr. Edwin (chief clerk)—Perhaps a copy of the
letter might serve Mr. Solomon's purpose. There
could be no objection to his taking one. The letter
is in the hands of Inspector Yates,who will show it on
receiving an order from the magistrate.
Mr. SECKER—I have no objection to allow Mr
Solomons to have a copy of that letter, but the ori-
ginal must be retained in the hands of the police ; as
I said before, it may be of importance.
Mr. Solomons—A copy of the letter in question
will be quite sufficient for my purposes, as Mrs.
Manning wishes merely to know the contents.
Mr. SECKER—You nay have a co,py by applying
to Inspector Yates.
Mr. Solomons thanked the magistrate, and with-
drew for that purpose.
In the latter part of the day Mr. SECKER received
the following letter :
" Vansittart Cottage, Southampton, Sept. 28.
" Sir,—Upon having read the examination of the wit-
nesses on the several remands of Mr. and Mrs. Manning
at the Southwark Police-court for the murder of Patrick
O'Connor at Bermondsey, in the early part of August
last, I think it my duty to society to inform you that I
have reason to believe that Mrs. Manning lodged in my
house as above; that she was brought here by one of the
railway guards of the name of Hopson; that she arrived
on or about the 13th or 14th of that month (August),
and remained in my house three days. I only speak
from recollection, and cannot as yet swear she is the
same party unless I see her, but I believe from the de-
scription given of her in the newspapers that she is the
party. 1 am informed another examination is to take
place, and should you think my information of use to the
public I am reedy to attend.
"I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" J. 0. Seeker, Esq. MARY DIME."
Mr. SECKER said, he could make no suggestion re-
spectine• the letter, especially as he had reason to be-
lieve Mrs. Manning was at Edinburgh at the time.
WANDSWORTH.
Mr. Day, the trunk and packing-case maker of
the Strand, attended with his gamekeeper to prefer
an information against Mr. Henry Beech Reynolds,
joint solicitor to the Treasury, for trespassing upon a
farm in the parish of Wimbledon, in the occupation
of Mr. John Croker, a farmer, but over which Mr.
Day has purchased the right of shooting of a Mr.
Drax, the owner of the property.
The keeper stated that in the early part of the week
he found Mr. Reynolds in a piece of oat stubble ; he
was carrying an air gun, and he asked him his name.
Mr. Reynolds replied, "If you want it you must
come across the common ;" but the keeper said he

lr
Juld not do that, but require him to give up his air
gun, as he would not give his name or address.
Mr. PAYNTER—And you took the gun with great
force—have you restored it? Mr. Day said he gave
it back to Mr. Reynolds on Friday nigh...
The keeper went on to say that the land Mr.
Reynolds was upon was a preserve, and caution-
notices to trespassers were posted at every available
place ; there were pheasants and partridges in the
preserve. When the keeper spoke to Mr. Reynolds
he said he was looking for rabbits. _ _

Mr. PAYNTER observed that there was no doubt
Mr. Day was entitled to a summons fur a trespass,
but he must tell the keeper he had no right to take
the gun, and if he had been in Mr. Reynolds's place
he would have given him in charge of the police for
the stealing. It was clear the gamekeeper was unfit
for his place, for he did not know his duties. If Mr.
Reynolds had shot the gamekeeper it would only have
been manslaughter, and the keeper even was liable to
be tried for the robbery.
The summons was appointed for hearing before Mr.
Beadom

ROBBERY OF RAILWAY PARCELS
An extensive robbery of valuable parcels, conveyed
by the Great Western Company, from South Wales
and all parts of the West of England, took place a
few days back. On Thursday morning the mail
train by the Great Western Railway, leaving Ply-
mouth at 6.25 1, zw. on the previous evening, and
calling at the intermediate towns upon the route,
arrived at the Paddington terminus at 4.15 A.m.,
laden, in addition to the Post-office mail bags, with
between 200 and 300 packages of a miscellaneous
character, consisting of bankers' parcels, containing
notes, cheques, &c., from local to London banks; so•
licitors' parcels, enclosing wills, deeds, marriage
settlements and other documents, with other papers
of considerable value, passing bet ween various metro-
politan and provincial firms. The parcels were
deposited en masse in the parcels-van, and shortly
before 7 o'clock the delivery agent of Messrs. Chaplin
and Horne, accompanied by a lad, who remains in the
cart to watch them, started on his round from
Paddington, taking with him the parcels sorted out
and strapped together in classified lots, those for the
bankers in one batch, those called by the railway
clerks " the lawyers' parcels" in another, the general
commercial ones in another, and so on. On ar-
riving at Featherstone-buildings, Holborn, shortly
before eight o'clock, the driver of the van, as usual
with him, alighted, leaving the cart in the custody of
the lad. Taking with him the lawyers' parcels, he
first of all proceeded to the offices of Messrs. Gregory,
Faulkner, and Follett, in Bedford-row, and there at a
few minutes after eight o'clock, saw the housekeeper.
who received the parcels for the firm, when the man,
who it would appear had on previous occasions acted
thus imprudently, asked permission of the house-
keeper to be allowed to leave all the parcels strapped
together in the office, on account, as he alleged, of
their great weight, while he went a little further on
in Bedford-row to deliver two others, one for Messrs.
Alger, solicitors, and the other for Messrs. Stevens,
which he did in the usual manner. In the meantime,
however, and within five minutes of his absence from
the offices of Messrs. Gregory, a most adroit and
daring abstraction of the remaining 20 parcels left
there, containing deeds, wills, and valuable assign-
ments, was effected. Immediately on his return the
housekeeper told him one of his fellow-servants had
been there, when he said, "Oh, my mate has left the
wrong packet of parcels," exchanging at the same
time the parcels that had been left for a similar set,
strapped together and slung over his shoulder, and
leaving word that the man on his return was to meet
him at the George and Blue Boar, in Holborn. The
man, on his return, of course was in great consterna-
tion, and could not be convinced of the dexterous
manoeuvre until an inspection of the parcels deposited
in exchange showed that they mere nothing but
" dummies' filled with shavings and waste paper. So
close, indeed, was the imitation, that had it not been
for the statement of the housekeeper exciting his
suspicions, he would have thrown them over his
shoulder and proceeded as usual. These dummy
parcels, of which there were about a dozen, were
bound together with a large strap, precisely in the
same fashion as those that were abstracted, but with-
out any addresses, the part upon which the direction
is placed being so contrived as to appear to be turned
inside. Between the dummies and the strap was a
white leather pocket book, such as are used by the
Great Western Railway, marked " Great Western
Railway, August, 1849." Thinking there might be
some mistake, the man in his trepidation rushed to the
George and Blue Boar, but found no one to the appoint-
ment. lie then went to the police-station in Hunter-
street, Brunswick-square, and gave information of the
robbery to the authorities, who immediately communi-
cated with Messrs. Collard and Lyndon, the police
tkia railway company, and issued areward for
the recovery of the papeff-n-at n-o-t-for the apprehension
of the thief. Inspector Smith,' a detective officer of
the F division, proceeded to Messrs. Gregory's, and
received from the housekeeper a minute description of
the thief, who, it appears, the better to aid the decep-
tion, was dressed like a privileged ticket-porter of the
Great Western Railway, the plush jacket and cap
having " G. W. R." marked on them in red cloth
letters. This leads to the belief that the clothes must
have been lent him- by some one of the company's
servants privy to and implicated in the transaction,
and this suspicion is strengthened by the fact that the
delinquent has been recently seen drinking with them
and in their company. The housekeeper, whose de-
scription coincides with that of the man now in
custody, described him as tall, thin, and
about 20. On hearing the description, In-
spector Smith at once suspected the man to be one of
the most expert thieves in London, often in custody,
but never yet convicted, and the son of a man who
goes by the sobriquet of " Long Taylor." Although
familiar with the haunts of the man and
his confederates, the inspector obtained no clue
to his capture until between five and six
on Friday evening last, when he apprehended
him at his lodgings, No. 52, Barclay-street, Somers'
Town. He gave his name as George Barton, 18
years of age, but stoutly denied all knowledge of the
transaction. Search was made throughout the house,
but none of the missing property was forthcoming.
The housekeeper at Messrs. Gregory's has since iden •
tified him.
The value of the lost parcels is not yet ascertained,
but it is conjectured to be very large, from the fact
that one of the solicitors' firms to whom a parcel was
directed, and of whom inquiries were made, stated
that if the parcel directed to them was one that was
abstracted, its worth was 30,0001.
The names of the consignees, who cannot, beyond
conjecture, give any account of their contents, are—
the Commissioners of the Insolvent Debtors' Court,
Portugal-street; Messrs. Beevor, of Gray's Inn ;
Messrs. Vincent, of Castle-street; Messrs. Taylor,
Chancery-lane; Messrs. Davidson, Lincoln's Inn ;
Frere, Lincoln's Inn; Ryland, Lincoln's Inn-fields;
Whiteacre, Lincoln's Inn; Wrentmore,Lincoln's Inn ;
Holme, New Inn ; Coulthurst, New Inn ; Leppard,
Bannatyne, and Gannon, Cloak-lane, City; Goodwin,
Walbrook ; Peachey, Old Jewry ; Gregson, Angel-
court, City ; Dawes, Angel-court ; WaterlowAngel-court and
Sons, Birchin-lane; and Wetherby and Sons, Birchin-
lane. _

On Saturday afternoon communications were re-
ceived from Messrs. Leppard and Bannatyne, to the
effect that they had heard from Mr. C. Hassell, of
Bristol, that the parcel directed for their firm and
which was stolen with the others, contained two un-
excuted deedq, on which were stamps to the amount
of 131. 10s. ; one deed was an assignment of leasehold
property, with stamps, 91., ad valorem. There was
also a letter of attorney from Mr. C. Attwood, stamps
303., on paper. Messrs. Taylor, of Chancery.lane;
state that the parcel intended for them would contain
deeds, and a cheque for 47/., payment for which has
been stopped at Tiverton. On Saturday also the
authorities at the Stamp-office were apprised of the
robbery, in the event of any deeds or other documents
being offered in the allowance department as spoiled
stamps.. A large reward will be offered for the
restoration of the parcels, should none of them be
forthcoming, and up to last night none had been
recovered.

LOLA MONTES.—Some of the particulars con-
nected with the recent extraordinary visit to Englund of
this lady have been published, but the following addi-
tional facts, the authenticity of which may ba relied
upon, will, doubtless, be read with interest :—lt appears
that while abroad the lady received an anonymous letter
upon the subject of the charge of bigamy made against
her, the precise contents of which have not transpired,
but they were of such a character as to induce her and
her husband immediately to hire a steam-vessel, for
which they paid 2001., and to proceed to England. They
arrived in London late at night, and early the next
morning the lady, with her usual impetuosity, pro-
ceeded to the house of her solicitor. He was out of
town, with all the rest of the world, at that period, and
the lady then ordered her carriage to the chambers of
Mr. Bodkin, her counsel. Here she met with a fresh
disappointment, for she was informed that that gentle-
man had gone to Ramsgate. She resolved to go after
him, and made arrangements to start by a train the fol-
lowing morning; and it happened lay an odd coincidence,
that Mr. Bodkin, who had been pre►ented from starting
so early as be expected, travelled down by the same
train, and the lady and her le Irned counsel met each
other upon th,i arrival of the train at the station. After
a short consultation, the lady became aware of the hoax
that had been practised upon her, and she immediately
returned to London, and the next day she and her hus-
band started for Daly. It is said that her gallant hus-
band is excessively indignant at the different proceed-
ings that have been taken against her, and that he has
declared that he will protect her from the " persecution"
to which she has been subjected to the whole extent of
his fortune.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 29.—The battle of life is daily
becoming more sam.uinary. The landlords call it the
nti• t Conspiracy ; but, in truth, it is a stru,;gle
in which the very existence of the small tenantry of
Ireland is at stake. More blood has been she 1., per-
jury is becoming quite a matter-of course crime
among the unhappy people, and violence of all kinds,
is reported to for the gratification of revenge for in-
juries charged against landlords and agents. The in-
telligence from the country to-day is truly deplorable.
Within fifty miles of the metropolis a bloody conflict
took place yesterday morning, in which one man was
shot dead and another badly wounded ; the particu-
lars are thus given in a journal favourable to the
rights of property—indifferent about its duties.
"We have just received an account," says the Kil-
kenny Moderator, "of a fatal and most fearful
struggle between a landlord and tenant for the pos-
session of the crops, and which, we are sorry to state,
has taken place in our own county. It appears that
the corn of a farmer named Cloony, residing at
Butler's Grove, near Gowran, was distrained for rent
by the landlord, Captain Watson, and was only pro-
tected hitherto from being forcibly removed by having
a strong posse of armed bailiffs placed in charge.
However, yesterday morning, at about eight
o'clock, Cloony collected a considerable body of men,
who were armed and provided with cars in order to
seize and remove the crop at any risk. The attack
was, of course, resisted by those in charge, and who
acted under the direction of Captain Watson's sons.
A. violent struggle took place, but Cloony's party
succeeded in loading the cars, and just as they were
leading them out upon the road, one of the men,
named Willir.en Butler, was shot dead by the Wat-
son's party, and another was so seriously wounded
that Dr. Newell, of Gowran, whose professional
assistance was promptly obtained, is said to have
pronounced his recovery to be hopeless. On the
other hand, it is stated by report that three of the
parties who were in charge of the crop, are danger-
ously wounded. The police arrived from Cowran
soon after the fray, but too late to prevent the fatal
consequences of the encounter; however, the cor-
respondent from whom we have the particulars, con-
cludes his communication, which was dated at noon
yesterday, with the remark—' Notwithstanding the
fearful circumstances which have resulted from the
attack, the corn is still being removed, though one
man lies dead in the gap, and another is dying in the
neighbourhood.'"
By the midday mail an account has been received
of the wounded man.

In the Carlow Sentinel of this morning there are
reports of scrambles for crops on the estates of Colonel
Bruen, M.P., Colonel Butler, M.P., and Mr. Ilatchell,
the Irish Solicitor-General. The particulars in each
case are essentially similar. The landlords are repre-
sented as the kindest and best men in the world—the

tenants, sharpers. The tenants owed large arrears of
rent, had splendid crops, would not pay, and to avoid
threatened distraint, collected friends from distant
parts and carried all their property out of the reach
of their indulgent landlords. Such is the gravamen
of each report. Here is another case in this Carlow
paper :—" On Sunday last a man named Rice, who
held a farm of 70 acres of land, from Mr. Finlay, of
Bagnalstown, at Ballykeenan, in this county, obtained
the assistance of a large party of men and took away
corn to the value of 2001., which was under seizure.
They cut down the corn which was standing, and
swept that also away. The tenant to whom Mr. Finlay
was most indulgent owed him 1301., in addition to
801., on the 29th inst. Mr. Finlay, being desirous of
coming to a settlement, offered to take security for
1801. This the tenant promised, and the securities
were to be completed on Monday—in the interim,
however, he swept away the crops on the previous
day. It is remarkable that Mr. Finlay's herd de-
clared that he knew the parties who cut down the
standing crop which was not seized upon, but he
professed entire ignorance of those who carried off
the property under seizure—thus proving the sym-
pathy that exists for those who transgress the law.
At the Shinrone petty sessions on Wednesday last
20 men were charged with carrying off 24 loads of
corn, which was about to be seized by Mr. Clark,
the landlord of the ground upon which it was raised.
The prisoners were committed for trial at the ap-
proaching assizes. The police, it is said, charged the
carters " at the point of the bayonet, and a struggle
ensued, which, however, was not attended with seri-
ous consequences." In the meantime the landlords in
some parts are making timely abatements in the rents
of their tenants. They acknowledge the simple fact
that a farmer cannot pay the same rent now that he
did when corn was 50 per cent. dearer, potatoes plenty,
and a low poor-rate.

The Brilliant sailed at daylight on Saturday for
Sheerws3 to be paid off. Tee Volcano steam-vessel
arrived at Spithead at seven o'clock this morning from
the Mediterranean. Oa coming un to Sp ahead she
made signal to say that she had a slight defect in her
engines, which could be made good in three hours. She
was ordered to come into harbour, her defects were
made good, and she steamed off at twelve o'clock for
Sheerness to be paid off. The Volcano had been in
collision with a merchant schooner, when about two
miles from Plymouth, the Eliza, of Newport; as that
vessel was bearing up to speak to her she struck the
Volcano on the after part of her port paddle box, car-
rying away her own bowsprit and foremast; she was
thin towed into 'Plymouth by the Volcano.
The Encounter bent sails yesterday.
PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 28.—Mr. Oxen, the master of the
brigantine Eliza, gives the following account of the col-
lision between that vessel and her Majesty's steamer
Volcano yesterday afternoon. The Eliza, at half-past
twelve o'clock, was off Prawle-point, or between Prawle-
point and the Start point, the land being three mites
distant. The weather was rather thick and mind north-
west. The ship was under double-reefed topsails,
single-reefed mainsail, and reefed spencer, her head
pointing west by south, or west-south-west, and rate of
sailing about four knots. After the men had taken the
second reef in the topsail and were coming down the
rigging they observed a Government steamer to the
westward with ensign and pennant flying. In con-
sequence of seeing the ensign, Captain Oxen
backed the schooner's topsails to the mast, put
the helm down, and lay to for about ten minutes or a
quarter of an hour, when the Volcano, with her paddles
going, came up under the larboard brow of the brigan

tine, carried away her jib-boom and bowsprit (the lattt r
of which dropped on the steamer's deck), and in con-
sequence broke both her masts. The foremast went
about five feet from the deck, and dropped aft on the
gallows of the winch, against the mainmast; and She
mainmast parted more than ten feet from the deck, fall-
ing over the brigantine's lee quarter. Captain Owen
has, of course, noted a protest, and intends, through his
agent, Mr. Henry J. Waring, to apply to the Port-
Admiral to have the brigantine's damages made good
by the dockyard authorities.
The ship Lorena, Captain Conway, belonging to New
York, having 203 emigrant passengers on board, from
Antwerp for New York, when in longitude 10 west, ex-
perienced a tremendous gale from the eastward, which
carried away maintopgallantmast and head of maintop-
mast and caused the ship to strain exceedingly. Having
returned off this port last night, took a Plymouth pilot
on board, and entered the Sound this morning in satety.
