'MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
Sarah Cooper, a young girl, only 11 years of age, was
indicted for stealing two shillings and tenpence in copper
the moneys of James Lane.
From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor was
a milkman, residing in Peter-street, Clerkenwell. The
parents of the prisoner' reside in the same house. From
some suspicions, on the lst of September, a sister of Mrs.
Lane was stationed behind the parlour door, and no one
appeared to be in Mr. Lane's part of the premises. Shortly
after she had concealed herself she saw the little girl get in
by the parlour window ; she passed into the shop, opened
the till, which fell down ; she took part of the money,
and locked up the till again. While she was getting out
of the window again, Miss Lane came forward and
• caught her. When Mrs. Lane came home and opened
the front door, the prisoner threw .the money into a tub
of water, and attempted to escape, but was given into the
custody of an officer.
The CHAIRMAN said it was a most pitiable case, and as
it was proved that the parents had shown themselves unfit
for the duty of taking care of their child, the State must
Ido so. However, in order to give time for making mi-
nute inquiries as to the character of the parties, he would
not pass sentence-until the adjournment day.
A few more petty larceny cases were disposed of, but
no point of interest arose.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS

The " Grand Autumnal Dahlia Show," of the South
London Floricultural Society, took place last night at
these gardens, and whether in point of numbers or
variety of specimens, the exhibition was one of unex-
ampled magnitude and splendour. The great pavilion,
three hundred feet in length, was appropriated chiefly
to the dahlias and miscellaneous flowers, while the
fruit, vegetables, and other subjects for competition, were
displayed in spacious and handsomely decorated mar-
quees,
erected in various parts of the grounds. The
prizes included three gold, and not less than seventy
silver medals, with an extra prize of a silver medal, given
by R. Seldun, Esq., to amateurs, members of the Society,
for the hest collection of twelve dahlias (dissimilar
blooms), and which was awarded to Mr. Humber. One
of the gold medals for dahlia blooms was obtained by
Mr. Wilmot, and a gold medal was also awarded to
Mr. Atlee, fo: a magnificent specimen of the veronia
Ldantieulatus. For English hot-house grapes, prizes
were obtained by Mr. Chapman- and; Me. - Bruce ; 14r
melons by Mr. Andrews ; for four different sorts of fruit
by Sir. Baldwin. Notwithstanding the lateness of the
season, there were some splendid bunches of roses, f..r.
which a silver medal was awarded to Paul, and Co., of
Cheshunt. We noticed a very beautiful group of Mittel
lincefolium album, exhibited by Mr. Groom, of Wal..
worth, and the collection of orchideous plants, ericas,
heeths, cockscombs, and fuschias, were • extremely fine,
but it would be impossible fir us to enumerate all the
successful candidates, in these various departments of
the floral art. The gardens were in the course of the
evening densely crowded, and there could not, on a
moderate computation, have beenless than 15,000 persons
present. The Girandola di St. Angelo closed the enter-
tainments, in which was introduced a superb emblema-
tical pyrotechnic device, in honour of the fete, which
elicited unbounded applauee from the speet2tors.

WURTZBURG, SEPT. 6.—The Duchess of
Kent arrived here the day before yesterday. Her Royal
Highness travelled under the title of Countess of Dub-
lin, and was accompanied by the Prince of Leiningen and
a numerous suite. The Royal party alighted at the
Hotel of the Deutsche Mg whence they again took
their departure yesterday morning on their way to
Amorbach, by Wertheim.
LONGEVITY.—Last weer, a lady came to
Lewes on a visit to her mother (Mrs. Boure), and the
two in good health and spirits spent a very cheerful day
together, though the mother is in her 98th, and the
young lady in her 75th year.— Sussex Advertiser.
FIT COMPANY FOR A 1316110 P.—During a
:ate Church-rate e.ontest in Hackney, one of the lesser
" ecclesiastical heads" of the parish was an active can-
vasser for votes in favour of the rate. Soliciting a party
supposed to be friendly to his views, he was asked how
matters had gone on at the vestry. " Oh," said he, " the
d—d Unitarians and Baptists have beat us this morn-
ing ; if any of them come here for your vote, set the dog
or the cat at them." This good man has since taken
part in the consecration of a new church, and afterwards
dined with the Bishop of London.
The manufactory for spinning and combing wool
which was built by the late Mr. John Cockerill, at a cost
of more than a million of francs, only three years ago,
near St. Denis, was sold by auction in Paris on Saturday
last for only 375,500 f. -No person connected with the
house at Liege was present at the sale.
