POLICE CORRECTIONELLE.

The night-round met on the outer boulevard, at a pro-
hibited hour, a young female enjoying a starlight prome-
nade, and contemplating " la blonde Plurbe" with no
common rapture. This romantic pastime is, unfortu-
nately, written down in the police code as " vagabondage."
The peripatetic female was lodged in St. Lazarus, and to-
day she appeared before the Correctional Tribunal. On
her name being called out, she rose and made a profound
salutation to the bench.

President—What is your name ? Prisoner—Je ne
m'appelle pas.
President—How ! no name ? Explain yourself. Pri-
soner—Attendez done attendez done Three years ago
they called me " Marie."
President—And today ? Prisoner—Je ne m'ap-
pelle pas.
____

President—Have you changed your name ? Prisoner
—lf I have no name, how can I change it ? One
changes when one has two things—one for the other.
President—Be more rational.

Prisoner —Ma foil 'tis you that need to be more ra-
tional.—(Laughter.) I argue thus :—lf I have two pair
of shoes, I change 'em ; if I have only one, I can't
change 'em, suppose 'em to be rights-and-lefts ; if I have
none at all, Igo bare-foot, and so would you.—(Laughter.)
C'est clair, pardi ! What ridiculous questions one gets
asked by the big wigs !—(Renewed laughter.)
President—You do not choose, then, to inform the
Court of your real name ? Prisoner—My three-years-
old-name, is it ? Marie, Marie, la petite Marie. That
was my name three years back ; but now I have no
name. Didn't I tell you ?
President—You have been arrested in the middle of
the night, wandering in the open streets. Have you no
asylum? Prisoner—l have a furnished chamber.

President—How long had you left it before you were
arrested ? Prisoner—Three years.—(Laughter.)
President—Where have you lived these three years
past ? Prisoner—No where ; no one without a name
lives any where. _

President—Where do you sleep ? Prisoner—Three
years back I slept in my garni.
President—And since ? Prisoner—No where.
President—You pass your nights, then, in walking the
streets ? Prisoner—l creep into the alleys.
President—But it is. impossible that you could sleep
there every night during the cold weather ? Prisoner—
It is three years since the winter passed away.
Prisoner—Do you know no one in Paris ? Prisoner
—I have not that honour.

President—Where do you take your meals ? Prisoner
—ln my hand.—(Laughter.)
President—Where do you eat ? Prisoner—l don't eat.
I have not dined these three years.
President—Come, give us some particulars as to your
" antecedents." Prisoner—" Antecedents !" What's
that ? Connais pas

It was discovered by the testimony of other witnesses,
that Marie had met with an afflicting bereavement, the
loss of her only infant, three years ago, and has been
completely insane ever since. Arrangements were made
for placing her in an institution.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND Loss OF
LlFE.—Early on Monday morning last, a most terrific
explosion took place at Dowse's factory, at Mold-green,
near Huddersfield, throwing the quiet inhabitants of
that locality into a state of the greatest consterna-
tion. On proceeding to the spot we were struck
with dismay at the horrid spectacle which presented
itself. The large boiler which had been but very
recently erected, and was only worked for the first time
on last Tuesday week, had burst, scattering destruction
around. It occurred just previous to the time of
starting the engine " (six o'clock), when many of the
girls employed in the mill were standing in the yard, near
the boiler-house (which is partly detached from the
building), waiting for the engine to start, when the
bursting of the boiler took place, as above stated, throw-
ing its- boiling contents over the hapless girls, and
scalding them in the most horrible manner, at the same
time throwing three of them completely over the pail-
ings into the mill-dam, whence the engine was supplied
with water. The names of the unfortunate sufferers
are Sarah Dowlass, Sarah Broadley, Emma Boothroyd,
Martha Northrop, Hannah Milnes, and Mary Holden,
the whole of them residing in the vicinity of the fac-
tory, or at no great distance. They were conveyed with
all possible speed to their respective homes in a state
that almost defies description, the flesh and skin of many
of them coming away like ribands. Their ages we learn
to be from fourteen to fifteen. Such was the violence of
the explosion, that the boiler was completely blown out
of its place, and turned bottom upwards, the lower end of
it being thrown near 20 yards distant, while numbers
of the bricks and stones were blown to a distance of from
forty to fifty yards. We have not at present heard by
what accident the bursting was occasioned. The first-
named girl, Dowlass, expired at about half-past one
o'clock the stune day; and the second, Broadley, lies in
the most excruciating agony, without the least hope ; the
others are most shockingly scalded, and one in a most
precarious state. Since the above was in type we have
learned that the girl Boothroyd also died on Thursday
evening. —Leeds Intelligencer.
APPALLING CARRIAGE ACCIDENT IN
PORTLAND-PLACE.—On Sunday night, about half-past
eleven o'clock, the following dreadful carriatie accident
occurred in Portland-place (and which it is feared will
be attended with fatal consequences), to a poor old man
of the name of Thomas Bull, residing at No. 24, Bain-
bridge-street, St. Giles's. It appears that the unfortu-
nate man was returning to his residence ; in crossing
Portland-place he was knocked down by the horses of a
gentleman's carriage,
sitsotadieex being
proceeding at a rapid rate, and the
wheels of the carriage passed
over his lower extremi-
ties. The screams of the unfortunate sufferer were

THE WEATHER.—The weather continues very
unfavourable, and the accounts from every part of the
United Kingdom might be written. in Dublin and of
Dublin. In Ireland, which for the last three years has
not yielded an average crop of wheat, that grain will be
almost totally spoiled. We do not imagine, however,
that as great a breadth of land has been devoted to the
cultivation of this crop as in former years : so tkat we
shall be less sufferers than we would have been had not
Irish farmers, alarmed at their ill-success in former sea-
sons, abstained from growing a large crop of wheat.—

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Aug. 9.
PEYTON V. HUGHES.

This is an argument on the construction of the will of
Mr. Lambert, who died in rs 14. The case comes on for
further directions on the death of the person who had
been declared entitled to a life interest in the fund, which
now amounts to 60,0001. The will was made by the
testator at the age of ninety-eight. It is in his own
handwriting, and very legible, but obscurely worded ;
and it appear. to disinherit his daughter and her issue,
giving the reversion to his grand nieces. A number of
counsel have been already heard in favour, of. different
parties.
Sir W. Follett and Mr. Sharp were this morning heard
for the heir-at-law.

Mr. Peyton contended that the will was void from un-
certainty.
Mr. Wakefield and others were heard for other parties.
Mr. Sinney replied on the part 'of the nieces of the
testator.

Judgment was postponed.
His Lordship then heard some lunatic petitions, and
rose at half-past five.

AUGUST 10.

, The Loan CHANCELLOR was engaged the greater part
of the morning in hearing petitions relating to the es-
tates and persons of lunatics.
This Court will not sit to-morrow, as his Lordship
has to attend a Cabinet Council at Windsor.

ROLLS' COURT, Aug. 9.
His Lordship the Master of the Rolls was engaged
during the day in hearing notions.
In answer to a question from Mr. Pemberton, as to the
business of his Lordship would proceed with to-morrow,
the last day of sitting,
His LonnsuiP said; that if the parties desired it, he
would not refuse to sit a day longer. But he was sorry
that parties thought it worth their while to postpone
matters on the chance of having them heard on the last
day of sitting.

AUGUST 10.
THE MAYOR OE ARUNDEL V. HOLMES-JUDGMENT.

The MASTER. of the ROLLS gave judgment in the above
cause this morning, and dismissed both bills with costs.
His Lordship said that he was of opinion that the lease
granted to Holmes was void, but that the Corporation of
Arundel should have brought their action at law instead
of proceeding in equity.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Aug. 10.
(Before sir C. WILLIAMS.)
IN THE MATTER OF ANTHONY LEE.
This day having. been appointed for receiving proofs
'under the fiat against the bankrupt, who carried on bu-
siness as a banker at Guilford, in the county of Surrey,
a sum of 17,242/. Bs. 10d. was proved on behalf of
Mr. John Sparkes of Gosden, also in Surrey, subject to
a revision and examination of the accounts.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
IN THE MATTER OF RICHARD B. CULLYER.
The bankrupt appeared in Court to pass his final exa-
mination. He was described as a currier residing in
Clifton-street, Finsbury, and late of Norwich. His
liabilities were stated to be 994/., and the available assets
to consist of a freehold property in Norwich, which
would realise by sale about 900/.
After a short examination quite destitute of general
interest, the Learned COMMISSIONER adjudged the bank-
rupt to be entitled to pass.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 9.
(Before Mr. Commissioner BowEN.)
RE JAMES HUNTER.

The applicant for his discharge under the Benevolent
Act of 1 and 2 Victoria, is a surgeon-dentist, described
as late of Gower-street, Bedford-square, whose exa-
mination was cut short, it being fully demonstrated to
the Court that the insolvent was not in a situation to
answer the questions put to him when the moral obliga-
tion of an oath was considered binding, he being evi-
dently in an inebriated state, and laughing when he
ought to have been serious. For this act of indiscretion
the Court said he should be remanded for a week.
Remanded accordingly.
