from cholera in the same house.
" LONDON CITY, North-West.
" F. 51, wife of calenderer, diarrhcei, September 6, 27,
Noble•street.—The informant complains of a very bad
smell from the privy, more particularly when the pre-
mises are closed at night. A policeman and some of
the parochial authorities inspected the place about eight
weeks back, but nothing has been done to diminish or
obviate the nuisance.
SHOREDITCH ; St. Leonard's.
"F. 21, wife of a cahinet-maker, cholera, three weeks,
19, New Norfolk-street, Curtain-road.—The medical
certificate stags that inability to obtain a proper nurse
prevented recovery, as the patient had recovered from
the attack of cholera. I am informed that the parish
officers sent three nurses, all of whom refused to remain,
being afraid of contagion.
" BETHNAL-GREEN; Ilackney-road.
"F. 29, single woman, cohabiting with a hawker,
cholera 15 hours, September 7,2, Turville-buildings,
Turville.street.—This court is a small parellelogram,
ciantaining six inhabited and two uninhabited houses,
with no back yards, with an almost total stagnation of
air—the chief supply being perpendicular; no water laid
on, and the drainage being through a stone grating in
the centre of the court, having communication with a
sewer.

"F. 32, wife of a tailor, cholera, 24 hours, Sept. 1,
22, Union-street.—ln the same house, on Aug. 28, died
of cholera the wife of a turner ; another woman was
attacked, but has since recovered. On September 1 the
daughter of the turner, 15 years of age, was attacked
with cholera, and removed to the Marylebone Infirmary,
where she died. This is the fourth case of cholera
(during five days) which has occurred iu this house, and
three have proved fatal. I have already given my
opinion of this street. Many of the houses are hotbeds
for cholera and all epidemics.

Cleveland-street —Street neglected and dirty; vegetable
and varied refuie, cast from the greengrocers' and other
shops-, being allowed to remain for many days. I be-
lieve the drainage is not very defective. (All streets
partaking of the character of bye-streets are more or
less overlooked and neglected by parish authorities. In
this parish the state of Upper Rathbone-place, Union-
street, part of Wells-street, Ogle-street, Saville-street,
Chariton-street, and the whole of Cleveland-street,
requires strict investigation.)

" St. John.

" F. 66, widow of grocer, cholera, 14 hours, September
5, No. 12, Alms-houses.—Attended upon and washed
the linen of the patients who died of the cholera at No.
12, Alms.houses, on the Ist of Sept., and registered the
death; in good health on the 3d be:ore washing the
clothes—seized the morning after.
" ST. PANCRAS; Gray's Inn-lane.
" M. 21, son of a dustman, cholera 3 hours, September
5, 17, Brighton-street—An inquest in this case was or-
dered in consequence of there being no medical attendant.
The death occurred in an underground kitchen. The
cl•,seness and stench were so great that the jurymen
hurried fa:km the place, nearly all of them having expe-
rienced a sensation of sickness. The coroner also de-
clared that he felt the same. In this close apartment,
wherein the dead body was laid, the operation of cooking
was going on, and the occupants upon being questioned
respecting the stench declared that they felt no ill effects
from it.

" Regent's-park.
" F. 30, wifo of a porter, cholera two days, profession-
ally attended only a few hours previous to her death,
September 4, 17, Edward-street—This house and the
adj,ining are opposite a wharf which is the deposit for
all kinds of manure, decomposed vegetable matter, and
refuse of the worst description, exhales the most ob-
noxious effluvium, and which is much complained of by
the inhabitants.

"ISLINGTON; Islington East.
" M. 3g, labourer, cholera two days, September 5,3,
Brambeourt, Holloway.—The medical officer of the
Holloway Dispensary says of Brand-court.—' No less
than seven cases of cholera have occurred in this court
within a week, two of which have already proved fatal,
within a
.few yards of this court. Many other cases
of cholera have also occurred. The drainage of this
place, as well as of the whole of Brand-street, is very
defective, and an open sewer runs by the side of this
man's house, and at the back of all the houses on one
side Brand-street. The houses are all very damp from
the want of good drainage; the floors of the lower rooms
rest upon the ground.'
" The registrar for this district appends the following
note to his return:—

" ' Taking into consideration the " locality, drainage,
ventilation, and maniere d'etre" of those that have died
from cholera and diarrhoea, since the 23d of June last,
I find that, placing each case in one of the following
grades, the result to be: very good, 0; good, 5; toler-
able, 30; bad, 39; very bad, 47. This does not include
those removed to Free Hospital, who may safely be
placed in the last two numbers.'

Close and over-crowded. The mother of this youth
died in the same house 12 days since, and I understand
that she had been in attendance on sick members of her
family, and this makes the 13th of them who have died
of cholera, &c., in this and an adjoining district.
" ST. GILES NORTH.

" Mr. Simpson, the registrar for the district of St.
Giles North, includes in his return the following short
report:—
" In reference to the deaths registered in the week
ending Saturday, September 8, the deaths from all causes
exceed that of any previous week, and the mortality
from cholera and diarbcel is also larger than on any pre-
vious occasion. It is satisfactory to find that the deaths
from cholera last week in Church-lane are reduced to
two, independent of those occurring in the workhouse
which have been removed; but in the surrounding dis-
trict they have increased. The mortality from the pre•
vaillng epidemic in Church-lane (the " Rookery") among
the poor Irish families, has been excessive ; it first showed
itself on the 21st of July. There are fifteen houses on
each side of the way, and twenty-eight deaths will be
found in my returns, as follow the house No. 3,
Church-lane, three deaths have been registered; at No.
4, two; No. 6, two; No. 7, four; No. 8, two, No. 15,
one; No. 17, one; No. 18, three; No. 20, one; No. 21,
two; No. 22, two; No. 24, one; No. 27, three; and No.
23, one. Many of the inhabitants of the lane have dis-
persed, and the deaths of several have been registered
elsewhere, independent of those removed and dying in
the workhouse.'
"STrIAND; St. Clement Dancs.
"The registrar of St. Clement Danes, Strand, reports
as follows on the sanitary state of his district:—
" It will bo observed that the diease in this district
is fatal in four distinct quarters; they may be distin-
guished as—the White's-alley district, situate between
Chancery and Fetter-lanes—the Shire-lane district,
opening into Fleet-street, near Temple-bar—the Cle-
ment's-lane district—and Milford-lane district. near the
river. All the eases of this week, and almost all from the
beginning of the outbreak, have occurred in one or other
of these neighbcurhoods, which are dirty, close, badly
drained, stinking, and filthy—every room tenanted by a
distinct
ofte family of the poorest description; and in many
houses there are thirty people—almost every house
contains a cesspool, emptied occasionally by the lodgers,
who throw the contentsis (as at 6, Crown-court, near,

all the circumstances connected with the parochial and
other burial-grounds of such parish or parishes, and as to
the place or places in which any burial-ground or burial-

limits of such parish or parishes, and as to the means
which might be provided for the conveyance of bodies
for interment, or any other arrangements which might
be practicable for facilitating the convenient interment

taining a common burial-ground or common burial-
grounds for such parishes, and into such other matters as

SIR J. FRANKLIN'S ARCTIC EX

PEDITION.

A lecture was delivered at the Southwark Literary
Institution, Borough-road, last night, by Dr. King,
M.D. ; (late medical officer to the arctic land expedi-
tion in search of Sir J. Ross), on the position of Sir
John Franklin's expedition, and the efforts of the
Government to save the adventurers. The lecturer
took a cursory review of the history of the successive
sea and land exploring expeditions undertaken for the
discovery of the North-west Passage since the efforts
of Sir John Barrow in 1818, and proceeded to advert
to the difficulties with which Sir John Franklin's last
expedition had to contend. They had to push their
%.‘ ay between Melville Island and Banks's Land, and
they had left this country under the erroneous im-
pression that North Somerset was an island, but
since their departure it had been settled, beyond dis-
pute, that it was a peninsula. Indeed, had it not been
for the error of the Government Hydrographer, Mr.
Simpson's excursion might have previously completed
the discovery of the North-west Passage, he having
attained a point which the Government chart, by
setting down North Somerset as an island, led him
naturally, but erroneously, to conclude to be Regent's
Inlet. The lecturer illustrated his remarks by the
aid of diagrams and charts, and stated it as his belief
that Sir J. Franklin's party must either be about the
estuary of the Great Fish River or amongst the
insular group or continent of Victoria Land. Sir
John might have sought to reach Regent's Inlet, and
been foiled in the attempt by finding North Somerset
not to be an island, but a peninsula. On retracing
his steps, he might have got into one of the fiords, or
indentations of coast, at Victoria Land, and been
blocked up by the ice. No provisions could be found
in that inhospitable region, and he (the lecturer)
had no doubt but that in that case the party must
have long since perished. If, on the other hand,
the expedition had reached the estuary of the
Great Fish River, it was possible it might have
attempted to ascend that river to the Hudson's
Bay Company's stations at Slave Lake. The banks
of the Great Fish River abounded with deer, but
none of the party was possessed of sufficient skill to
shoot them for food, the deer in that district being
so remarkably shy and swift of foot that hardly any
one but natives could succeed in securing them. Ile
(Dr. King) held that it was the duty of the Govern-
ment to have made a search for the unfortunate men
by a descent of the Great Fish River ; and nothing
could justify their refusal to do so. He himself had
offered to conduct a party in the descent of that river,
at the trifling cost of not more than 2,0001.; but Mr,
Hawes, the Under-Secretary for the Colonies had re-
fused to authorise the undertaking. His (Dr. King's)
astb—le
tphl aen aidcontemplated
t i veemployingsbeing atbhseolluntdeilaynisn dt?ispaesnssi
to the success of the search ; and he believed that there
were only two persons living who were properly
qualified to undertake the descent of the Great Fish
River. These were Sir George Banks and himself,
who were both well acquainted with the region. The
natives could never be induced to co-operate with
any one not well known to them; and if Sir George
Bunks declined, he (Dr. King) was ready at any
moment to enter upon the task himself.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Sept. 12.
(Before Mr. WITHAM and a Bench of Magistrates.)
Patrick 11104, aged 35, was indicted for having
stolen two sovereigns from the person of Ann Stud-
holm, the property of her husband, William Stud-
holm.

From the statement of the wise of the prosecutor.
it appeared that on the 26th of August last she and
her husband had a quarrel. Her husband resided at

14, New Martin-street, Whiteehapel, and the diff3r-
ence she had had with him on this particular occasion
had arisen out of some money matters. The result
was, that she quitted her house, taking with her
N. 155. Soon after she had left her husband's house
she met a woman, of whom she inquired whether she
could recommend her to some respectable place
whereat she could take up her abode, so that her
husband might not be able to find her. The
woman replied that she could do so, but, before they
set out in search of the place, she suggested that it
would be as well if they were to go somewhere
fur the purpose of obtaining a little refreshment
prior to setting out. They accordingly went into
a public-house which was close at hand. There
they had something to drink, but whilst they were
standing in front of the bar the prisoner accosted her,
and, upon learning the object of the proposed search,
lie said that he could very easily accommodate her
with such apartments as she might require. The wife
accordingly consented to accompany him to his pre-
mises, which proved to be in Lambeth street. The
' wife of the prisoner she then ascertained had just
recovered from a confinement, but was still in bed, and
on seeing her the wife at once commenced a series of
complaints against her husband for having left her
alone for so long a time without the least attendance
or even any nourishment. The prisoner thereupon
offered a glass of water to his wife, but the prosecu-
tor's wife objected to her drinking it, adding that she
would herself pay for something which was more
fitting for her weakened condition. Upon this she at
once handed some money to the prisoner; desiring
that he would go and purchase a small quantity
of brandy for his wife. This the man did, and
as soon as the brandy had been obtained and
administered to his wife, the prisoner proposed
that the wife of the prosecutor should now go with
him to see apartments in another house. She
declined to comply with this request, whereupon he
seized her violently by the neck, ripped her dress
open, and took the money from her bosom. The
prisoner ran off out of the room, and as soon as she
was herself able to reach the street she set up a cry
of " Murder and robbery !" She presently obtained
the assistance of a policeman, but when they re-
turned to the house it was discovered that the priso-
ner had effected his escape.
Police•constable N 113 deposed to having appre-
hended the prisoner on the day succeeding the rob-
bery, and finding as much as 10s. upon him.
Several witnesses were called by the prisoner, who
stated that on the Friday before the reputed robbery
the wife of the prosecutor was in a lamentable state
of intoxication ; that she had been spending her
money with great freedom in the purchase of
liquor; and that they were certain that on the
Saturday she could not have had anything like
V. 15s. left.

Mr. WITHAM having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Charles Heath, of 4, Bell-street, Greenwich, was
charged with attempting to defraud the West London
Savings'-bank, in Farringdon-street, of 101. 35., by
forging the name of Charles Ferris.
Sir P. LAURIE said, the withdrawal of the money
appears to have been sanctioned by Ferris, and the
intent to commit a felony falls to the ground. He
is therefore discharged.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Giovanni Genazzi the padrone sent to prison by
Mr. Hardwick some weeks ago for threatening to do
some grievous harm to Pietro Maz3chi, a boy whom
he had brought to this country for begging purposes,
yesterday came to this court to claim an organ, value
101., which had been taken from the boy when he was
first brought to this court.
The boy, however, claimed the sum of 41. ss. as
wages due to him. He said he was hired in his own
country at so much per week, and the balance due to
him was the sum he had stated.
On a former occasion when the parties were before
Mr. Hardwick it was agreed that the organ should
be given up when the sum in question was paid. A
person named Rabritti agreed to take charge of the
money, and to see the boy back safe in his own
country.
Yesterday the boy claimed to have charge of the
money. The padrone would not pay it over to him,
on the ground that the contract had been made with
the boy's father, who would make him pay the money
again when he returned to Italy.
Mr. HaanwicK asked Rabritti whether that was
likely to be the case ?
Rabritti replied that the contracts for children to
come over to this country to beg were made, not with
the children, but with their parents and friends. The
padrones who brought over the children mostly had
portions of land or some tangible property that could
be made available if any breach of contract occurred.
If the Magistrate ordered the money to be paid to
the boy, no doubt means would be found by the bay's
father to make the padrone pay it again to him.
It was at length arranged that Rabritti should lend
the money for the present, and have a lien for the
amount on the organ, and that such a receipt should
be given to the padrone as would probably prevent his
being sued when he returned to Italy.
WEST ill IN S 7'E R.
A sneaking-looking fellow, about 30 years of age,
who gave his name George ifolland, was charged with
endeavouring to obtain a charitable contribution from
the Earl of Ducie by the following vile imposture :
Joseph Worster, a footman in his Lordship's ser-
vice, having proved that the prisoner left a letter
addressed to the Right Hon. the Earl of Ducie, at
his town residence, 24, Belgrave-square, a few days
ago, and two or three times called for an answer,
,t-,itine- that the communication was from the Rev.
Mr. Bence,

Noble Earl, who was accommodated with a
seat upon the bench, handed the magistrate the letter,
of which the following is a copy :
" The Rev. H. Bence, chaplain to the London Hospital,
presents
his compliments to the Earl of ;Ducie, at the
particular request of the bearer, George Holland, whose
wife and two children expired in the hospital of cholera.
" The poor man informs me his late wife was a native
of Tetbury.
" The poor man informs me his late wife was sister to
slr. John Pelt, watch and clock maker, Market-place,
and known to your Lordship's family at Wood Chester-
park, and has a sister living as domestic with the Rev.
Mr. Huntley, of Boxwell-court.
" From my personal knowledge of the poor man's cir-
cumstances, I believe him to be in distress. I believe
him to be a praiseworthy and very deserving character,
and feel most happy in recommending his very dis-
tressed case to your Lordship's kind nature.
" Any assistance afforded the poor man will be pro-
perly bestowed.

"London Hospital, Sept. G.
" The Right Hon. the Earl of Dueie."
His Lordship stated that the above letter was
accompanied with some printed forms, headed "Loa
don Hospital," and purporting to be signed by Samuel
J. Burch, the apotheary there, certifying that the wife
and children had died as described. As his Lordship
entertained a strong impression that there .wls some-
thing wrong in the matter, he communicated with the
chaplain at the London Hospital, and found his sus-
picions confirmed.
The letter from the chaplain of the London Hospital
bore date September 11, and stated that it was the
belief of the rev. gentleman (whose name is Ward,
and not Bence, as described in the letter addressed to
his Lordship in the first instance) that George Hol-
land was an impostor ' • no such person as Mrs. Holland
and children had died of cholera in the hospital, and
the name of the apothecary on the certificates was
forged. The letter, after expressing the rev. gentle-
man's thanks for the communication acquainting him
with the imposture, intima`ed that he bad received
several others respecting the same person.
In consequence of ascertaining beyond all doubt
that it was a gross imposture, his Lordship communi-
cated with the Mendicity Society, and had one of
their officers stationed in an ante-room at the time
the prisoner was to call for an answer yesterday
morning. Upon the prisoner's entering the room he
asked him whether he was the person who brought
the letter (which he produced to the prisoner), and
he replied that he was. The accused further said, in
reply to his Lordship's inquiry, that his wife and
children had died as described, and added that he
should like to return to his native home, in Gloucester-
shire. In reply to an inquiry as to whether the Rev.
Mr. Bence had been kind to his family, the prisoner,
in the same pathetic low tone as he had used through-
out the conversation, said, Mr. Bence was but a poor
clergyman, but had been as kind as his limited means
would permit.
Joseph Colley, a Mendicity officer, stated that,
aggreeably with instructions he had received from
Captain Wood, assistant•inanager of that institution,
he went to the Earl of Ducie's, and placed himself in
such a situation as to overhear the greater part of the
conversation between his Lordship and the prisoner,
which had been narrated. When he took the prisoner
into custody he gave his name James Holland, but
said he had no regular place of abode. Upon witness
inquiring whether his wife was dead he smiled, and
said he should not answer any more questions. While
at the station-house, however, he told the officer that
his story was all false, and hoped the magistrate would
give him whatever punishment he was to have at once,
and have done with it.
Mr. BRODRRIP asked the prisoner whether he
wished to say anything to the charge ?—The prisoner
replied with great coolness—Your Worship has heard
the case truly, and I have nothing to say.
Mr. BRODERIP—If you have any means of show-

Mr. BRODEnIP obo.ervcd that there could be n,:ither
moral nor legal doubt of his guilt, as proved by the
evidence, and confirmed by his own confession.
This was one of the numerous instances in which
the experiment was made too often of imposing,
upon benevolent persons, and more particu-
larly upon that portion of the public in the
complainant's position in society. If everybody would
do as his Lordship had done in this instance, this
sort of impositions would soon be at an end, and he
was bound to say that the public were under great
obligation to him for the course he had taken.
Mr. BRODERIP then committed the prisoner for three
months to hard labour.
IVO RSIIIP-STREET.

Lewis Kemp, a flashily•dressed young fellow, and a
woman named Ellen Smith, alias Williams, who were
both stated to be connected with a notorious gang of
coiners, were placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt,
the former charged with having uttered a counterfeit
half• sovereign, and the latter with having in her pos-
session a large quantity of other spurious pieces.
On the preceding afternoon the attention of In-
spector Ellis and Sergeant Eaves, of the II division,
was attracted to the female prisoner, who was lying
in a helpless state of drunkenness at the door of a
public-house in lialifax•street, Mile-end-road. She
was manifestly incapable of helping herself, and
having raised her from the ground, they were en-
deavouring to remove her, when the landlord of the
public-house came out and handed the officers a
basket, which he told them had been left by the pri-
soner in the care of his daughter, and on their exa-
ming the contents of the basket they were found to
consist of no less than ten counterfeit crown pieces, a
small file, and a bottle partly filled with some colour-
ing fluid. The prisoner upon this discovery was con-
veyed to the station•house, where the charge was
entered against her, and whilst bringing her down to
the court she was unhesitatingly recognised by the
wife of a beershopkeeper named Hitchings, in George
street, Cambridge-heath, Hackney, who happened to
be accidentally passing at the time, as having called
at her house about a week before in the company of
a man who had attempted to pass a counterfeit half-
sovereign upon her. The witness Ilitchings was
requested to accompany the officer to the court to
give evidence against the woman, and the very first
person she encountered after entering the outer door
was the male prisoner, Kemp, who appeared to be
lurking about there to ascertain the fate of his com-
panion, and the witness having instantly identified
him as the man who had uttered the counterfeit half-
sovereign at her bar, she apprised the police of the
circumstance, and he was also immediately taken
into custody.
The evidence now gone into went to conclusively
establish a case of uttering against the male prisoner,
who had evidently from the facts detailed acted in
complicity with the woman Smith, and the magis-
trate, therefore, ordered both prisoners, who reserved
their defence, to be brought up again in a week, to
afford time for the attendance of the Mint solicitor to
carry out the prosecution.
LAMBETH.

Yesterday William Myers, a cab driver, and
Michael Murphy, were placed at the bar before the
lion. G. C. Norton, on a charge of robbing Mr.
Satcher, a master tailor, residing in Union-street,
Lambeth, of fifty sovereigns.
The facts of the case are briefly these :—On the
evening of Monday week the prosecutor, who had
been drinking freely, engaged one of Ransom's cabs,
of which the prisoner Myers was the driver, in Wel-
lington-street, London-bridge, to take him to his
residence in Union-street, Lambeth, and the prisoner
Murphy, with his permission, took his seat in the
vehicle, saying he was going with the driver. Soon
after getting into the vehicle the prosecutor fell
asleep ; but was awoke by a tugging at his pockets,
and found that his left-hand trouser pocket, in which
he had his money, was torn down. Ile also saw
in the hand of the prisoner Murphy a piece of
wash-leather belonging to him, and in which there
were fifty sovereigns folded up, and instantly challenged
him with robbing him of his money, upon which
Murphy handed the gold, tied up as it was, through
the door in the roof of the cab to the driver. The
prosecutor then asked Myers for his property, and
told him that if he did not at once deliver it up
he should call out "Police." Myers, however,
pretended not to understand him, whipped his horse
and increased his speed. At length, however, Murphy
jumped out of the vehicle and was followed by the
prosecutor, who fortunately succeeded in capturing
him, and he was ultimately given into the charge of
the police. The other prisoner, Myers, subsequently
called at the station-house, and he was also secured.
In addition to the evidence already given, Jeremiah
Cunin said that on the evening of Monday week,
between six and seven o'clock, he was in the Water-
man's Arms public-house, Little Market street,
Bermondsey, and saw the prosecutor and the priso-
ner Murphy come there. The prosecutor was very
much intoxicated, and while in front of the bar
dashed down on the counter a small leather bag,
which from its sound evidently contained gold,
and said there were fifty sovereigns in it. From
the force with which it was thrown, the bag
fell inside the bar, and the landlord requested
he would leave it in his hands for safety, and he
would give him a receipt for it, so that he might
know where he left it. The prosecutor, however,
refused to do so, and replaced the bag in his pocket.
Murphy, who had drunk a pint of beer at his expense,
and also taken up two shillings which the prosecutor
had placed on the counter, and put them into his
pocket, followed Mr. Satcher out of the house. Wit-
ness having no doubt from Murphy's manner that his
intention was to rob the prosecutor, determined upon
following them and giving the prosecutor into the
custody of the first policeman he met. While so
following them, Murphy made use of the most violent
threats to him for interfering, but he continued with
them until they met a policeman, named Scott,
belonging to the M division, with whom he was
acquainted, and to whom he had mentioned
the whole of the circumstances of the pro-
secutor having a bag of gold in his:possession, and his
suspicion that Murphy intended to rob him, and
adding that if the gentleman* was robbed after what
he had stated, it would be his (Scott's) fault, left the
prosecutor in the hands of that person. Since—that
time he had read an account of the robbery and the
examination of the prisoners on the charge at this
court in the newspapers, and having little doubt the
parties were the same, he felt it to be his duty to come
forward as a witness.
Mr. NORTON observed that the witness had acted a
very proper part in the matter, and if the police•con-
stable Scott had only performed his duty with equal
propriety, the robbery might have been prevented.
The case was one which required the tact and vigi-
lance of one of the detectives to bring forward the
necessary testimony to complete it, and he should
therefore remand the prisoners to another day, in order
that an experienced officer might be employed in the
case. The magistrate directed that the landlord of
the Waterman's Arms, and also the constable Scott,
should be in attendance at the next examination.

The prisoners were accordingly remanded, and bai
for their appearance refused.

INTERESTING CASE OF CLAIR-
VOYANCE.—RECOVERY OF 6501.
(From the Bolton Chronicle.)
On Saturday, July 14, a letter was received by
Messrs. P. R. Arrowsmith and Co., of this town,
from Bradford, Yorkshire, containing a Bank of Eng-
land note for 5001., another for 501., and a bill of ex-
change for 1001. These Mr. Arrowsmith handed over
in his regular mode of business to Mr. William Lomax,
his cashier, who took or sent, as he supposed, the whole
to the bank of Bolton, and made an entry accordingly
in his cash-book. The bank-book was then at the
bank, so that no memorandum of the payment was re-
ceived or expected. After the expiration of about five
weeks, upon comparing the bank-book with the cash-
book it was found that no entry for these sums was
in the . bank-book. Inquiry was then made at
the bank, but nothing was known of the money,
nor was there any entry existing in any book or paper
there ; and after searching no trace could be found of
the missing money. In fact the parties at the bank
denied ever having received the sum, or knowing
anything of the transaction. Before the discovery of
the loss the bill had ',become due, but upon inquiry
after the loss was discovered, it was found that it had
not been presented for payment. It was, therefore,
concluded that as the notes and bill could not be
found at the bank, nor any trace or entry connected
with them, the probability was that they were lost or
stolen, and that the bill had been destroyed to prevent
detection. Mr. Lomax had a distinct recollection of
having received the notes, &c., from Mr. Arrowsmith,
but from the length of time that had elepsed when the
loss was discovered, he could not remember w hat he
had done with them—whether he had taken them to
the bank, or sent them by the accustomed messenger;
nor could the messenger recollect anything about
them.

As might be expected, this unaccountable loss occa.
sioned great anxiety to Mr. Lomax ; and in this
emergency he applied to a friend to whom the dis
covery of Mr. Wood's cash-box was known, to ascer-
tain the probability of the notes, Sz.c., being found by
the aid of clairvoyance. The friend replied that he
saw no greater difficulty in the case than in Wood's,
and recommended him to make the inquiry.
On Friday, August 24, Mr. Lomax, accompanied
by Mr. F. Jones, of Ashhurner-street, Bolton, called
on Mr. Haddock for this purpose. The clairvoyance
was put into a psychic state, and then into connexion
with Mr. Lomax. She directly asked for " the
pspers," meaning the letter in which the notes and
bill were enclosed ; but this Mr. Lomax did
not happen to have in his possession, and she said

she could not tell anything without it. Th:s
sitting, therefore, was so far useless. The next day
Mr. Lomax brought the letter, and Mr. Haddock
requested that the contents might not be cotnmuni-
ceted to him, lest it should be supposed that he had
suggested anything to her. After considerable
. thought the clairvoyante said that there had been
three different papers for money in that letter, not
Post-office o:-ders, but papers that came out of a place
where people kept money in (a bank), and were to be
taken to another place of a similar kind. That these
papers came in the letter to another gentleman (Mr.
Arrowsmith), who gave them to the one present (Mr.
Lomax), who put them in a paper, and put them in a
red book that wrapped round (a pocket-book). Mr.
Lomax then, to the surprise of Mr. Haddock), pulled
from his coat pocket a deep red pocket-book, made
just as she had described it, and said that was the
book in which he was in the habit of placing similar
papers.
Mr. Lomax said that the clairvoyante was right ;
tl at the letter contained two Bank of England notes
and a bill of exchange ; but did not say what was the
value of the notes. Mr. Haddock then put a 101
Bank of England note into the clairvoyante's hand.
She said that two of the papers were like that, hut
more valuable, and that the black and white word at
the corner was longer. She further said that these
notes, &c., were taken to a place where money was
kept (a bank) down there (pointing towards Deans-
ga`e). Beyond this no further inquiry was made at
that sitting.
On Monday Mr. Lomax called again. The clair-
voyante went over the case again, entering more
minutely into particulars. She persisted in
her former statements, that she could see
the " marks " of the notes in the red pocket-
book, and could see them in the banking-house ;
that they were in paper, and put along with many.
more papers in a part of the bank ; that they were
taken by a man at the bank, who put them aside
without making any entry, or taking any further no-
tice of them. She said that the people at the bank did
not mean to do wrong, but that it arose from the want
of due attention. Upon its being stated that she
might be wrong, and requesting her to look
elsewhere, she said that it was no use ; that
she could see they were in the bank, and
no where else ; that she could not say anything
else, without saying what was not true; and that if
search was made at the bank, there she said they
would be found. In the evening Mr. Arrowsmith,
Mr. Makant, and Mr. Jones came again, and she was
put into the psychic state to repeat these particulars
in their presence, which she did.
Mr. Haddock then said to Mr. Arrowsmith that he
was tolerably confident that the clairvoyante was
right, and that he should recommend him to go
next day to the bank and insist on a further search,
stating that he felt convinced, from inquiries he had
made, that his cashier had brought the money there.
Mr. Makant also urged the same course on Mr.
Arrowsmith.
The following morning (Tuesday, August 28), Mr.
Arrowsmith went to the bank, and insisted on fur-
ther search. He was told that, after such a search
as had been made it was useless ; but that, to satisfy
him, it should be made again. Mr. Arrowsmith left
for Manchester, and after his departure a further
search was made, and among a lot of papers in an
inner room at the bank, which were not likely to have
been meddled with again probably for years, or which
might never have been noticed again, were found the
notes and bill wrapped in paper, just as the clair-
voyante had described them.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
GREAT WESTERN.
A special meeting of the shareholders of this com-
pany was held yesterday afternoon at Bristol, for the
purpose of considering the propriety of supporting the
re-election of Mr. George Jones, one of the directors
ballotted out by the board. Mr. F. Fry presided,
and there was a very numerous attendance of pro-
prietors.
The CHAIRMAN in introducing the business ob-
, served, that the nomination of Mr. Jones as one of
the candidates at the ensuing special meeting to be
held at the Paddington station on the 20th instant,
had received such a large number of respectable sig-
natures that it might be fairly assumed as a wish of a
number of the proprietors that he should represent
their interests at the board. From the speech of the
chairman at the last half-yearly meeting of the Great
Western Company it appeared that it was understood
that four of the directors were to retire, and that then
the whole of the proprietors possessing the requisite
qualification should be open to the free choice of the
shareholders, and not a word was said to lead to the
inference that a director, ballotted out by his co-
directors, should not be open to re- election, and
therefore the proprietors had a full right to re-elect
Mr. Jones if they had confidence in him. He under-
' stood that Mr. Jones had not been ballotted out on a
chance ballot in which the duty of retiring was
decided by lot, but upon a ballot in which
different members of the directorate voted against
others of their colleagues by striking out their names
from a list.—(flear.) The reasons for Mr. Jones's re.
election were that he was most conversant with rail-
way matters, and he was, in conjuction with the late
Mr. John Harford and his (the chairman's) late father,
the originator of the undertaking. He had been a
regular attendant of the board, had watched over the
interests of the company with most untiring energy,
and proposed a Committee of Inquiry, the result of
whose labours was a reduction in the expenditure to
the extent of 30,000/. per annum.—(Cheers.)
Mr. H. LEONARD, in moving the re-election of Mr.
Jones, expressed a high opinion of him. He had
been most assidious in his attendance, mid he had en-
deavoured to carry out the conduct of the railway fur
the benefit of the shareholders.
Mr. W. RAMsEy seconded the motion.
Mr. HORNBLOWER inquired whether the present
proceedings emanated from the directors—(Hear,
hear)—or whether it was the spontaneous act of the
shareholders ?
The CHAIRMAN said the proceedings did not ema-
nate from the directors, who, as he had stated, had
ballotted out Mr. Jones. He considered it a very sus-
spicious circumstance that a gentleman so assidious as
A.ly. Jones had been should have been ballotted out,
when others, who, not to speak invidiously, were noto-
rious for non-attendance, were retained.
Mr. H. MILLS observed that it was important the
meeting should be assured on this point, because an
impression prevailed to a great extent that Mr. Jones
was still approved by the board, and he knew of
several gentlemen who had intended going to London
to vote against him, not from any personal disrespect
for Mr. Jones, but simply because he was a member
of the board.—(Hear, hear.) At the late meeting it
was stated that four of the board would retire in
order for four new men to go in ; and certainly,
when unexplained, it looked a little suspicious when
they found that one of the old board was to be nomi-
nated.—(Hear.) If it was to be understood that Mr.
Jones was to go in to oppose the extravagant pro-
ceedings of the board, then that ground of opposition
was done away. Their had been a series of misman-
agement, and he never remembered finding Mr. Jones
get up at their half-yearly meetings and dissent from
this or from that. The board was always represented
as being very united, and Mr. Jones must bear a share
of the odium of this mismanagement, which had been
shamefully extravagant.
Mr. SOMERTON asked if there was any evidence
that Mr. Jones had acted in opposition to the board ?
Mr. RAMSEY—Yes.
The CHAIRMAN said he could only state that the
present meeting did not in any way emanate from
the board. At railway meetings the chairman always
represented and spoke for the board, giving utterance
to the views of the majority, and it was not usual at
those meetings for individual members to express their
dissent from the vies of the board.
After some further conversation on this point, in
which Mr. Somerton, Mr. 11. Mills, the Chairman,
and Mr. C. Paul joined, the resolution was adopted,
nem. con.
Mr. J. MERCER moved the next resolution, pledg-
ing the meeting to support the re-election of Mr.
Jones.
Mr. WHITWELL seconded the resolution; and,
after some remarks from Mr. LEONARD, the resolution
was adopted.
Mr. G, F. POWELL said there was a good deal of
weight in the observations made by Mr. H. Mills,
that if they elected a member of the old board, unless
upon special reasons, it would be inferred that they
approved of the general policy of the board. He
should, therefore, move, as a protection to themselves
in any course which they might hereafter deem it
proper to pursue, " that this meeting has adopted the
foregoing resolutions, in the belief that Mr. Jones is
friendly to the utmost economy and retrenchment,
consistent with the proper working of the line, and
in the hope that, if elected, he wilt not lend his sup-
port to a continuance of the extravagant system of
management hitherto pursued."
The resolution was supported by Mr. Mills, Mr.
Sotnerton Mr. Kitson, and Mr. Ramsey, and opposed
by Mr. H. Clarke and Mr. R. Clarke, who moved as
an amendment that the resolution should terminate
at the end of the worth " proper working of the
line," but afterwards withdrew it ; and the resolu-
tion ultimately was unanimously adopted, as were
others, appointing a deputation to confer with Mr.
Gladstone and the northern shareholders.

OWL V. SNAKE.—A friend passing through the
woods in the vicinity of Milledgeville, Georgia, a few
days since, met an owl of the largest cLecription on the
road. On his approaching, it made no effort to escape
him; nothing was visible to the eye to prevent its doing
so. Struck by the anomaly he determined on a close
inspection. Having touched it with a switch, the owl
made an effort to fly, which developed under the feathers
a snake twisted round its wings. The owl would occa,
sionally seize the tail of the snake in its mouth, but it
would he as immediately disengaged. After witnessing
the contest for u short time our friend killed both.—

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
FALKIRK TRYST.—This iapertant market for the
sale of stock commenced yesterday (Monday) morning
with the sale of sheep. Although the weather was,
rater eieagreeable there was a numerous attendance 01
dealers, and transactions were carried on with consider'
a'ele briskness. The market, however, was olliY
eloderetely supported, there being nearly a third less of
steel; on the ground than at the previous market. Th°
eLundacce of keep, and the unfavourable state of the
weather, may have combined to produce this result.
Sales commenced as early as nine o'clock, and about
eleven the demand seemed to be at its briskest pellet.
Black faced wedders, of which there was rather a short
supply, ranged in price from 16s to 225. Of this sort We
saw ore lot of 351 bought by Messrs. Finlay and Fyfeou
Edinburgh, from Mr. Hugh M'Lean, Inversand, e
Apping, Sutherlandshire, at the rute of IBs 6d clad, which
affords an idea of the general run of prices. White;
faced wedders (embracing Leicesters, Cheviette and
crosses) changed bands at prices varying from 22s to 30;
only one lot, however, brought the latter figure, so 1.6 e
as we observed, namely, that from Gordon Bush. Bleci,
faced ewes, of which there was a moderate supplY•6°,;,
at from 6s 6.1 to lls; and white-faced from 143 to 2u';
Taking the market as a whole, we imagine we are not
beyond the mark when we estimate the prices for we'•
deers to be from 2e 6d to 3; below those obtained at 131
year's market. There was a very large attendance
buyers, who were doubtless disappointed at the short-
ness of the supply. At an early hour in the afternoon
the ground was entirely cleared, and the second day
oonsequently be wholly devoted to the sale of cattle.'

A MAN STABBED WITH RED HOT Thea
particulars of this shocking case have already ePPear„eiv
in the columns of Me Sun. On Saturday au inclll-0
was held on the body. The prisoner, Ricardsont
admitted he perpetrated the deed, though he denied to
felonious intention, was charged by the jury with Wilea
murder; on the same day the magistrates committed 1111"
to take his trial on the same charge.
Mr. W. Carter, the coroner, held an inquest at the
King's Arms Tavern, St. George's road, camber:
well, on the body of Mary Caruthers, aged 6,,,j
years, who committed suicide under the folloviihl3rl
circumstances:—lt appeared that the deceased was the
widow of a compositor, residing at Camberwell. P",„;
was a very timid person, and had an idea that %-
would die from the cholera or be reduced to the w°l•-•
house. On Saturday, about noon, the deceased left 131
daughter's house to take a walk, while the latter preparhe,
dinner. She passed the Halfpenny Hatch gate, at tir,-
Peckham Canal House, asking her way to the Walw"--,-0
road. She walked on until she reached the Wog 0
Arms-bridge, where it is supposed she leaped in, for eon
of the officers, who was going past, had his stlell-lija
drawn to a female's bead moving in the water.
