PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAT.—A court-martial is or-
dered to take place on board the Victory, on Saturday,
to try First Lieutenant Story, of the Retribution steam-
frigate, Captain Lushington, for his alleged participation
in the death of a man named Redpath, captain of the
hold of the same ship, which arose from the following
circumstances:—
Oa the 13th of Augu3t the man in question was re-
ported to the First Lieutenant at half-past ten in the
morning, for being drunk (at sea) and wetting his ham-
mock the previous night.
After having heard the evidence in support of the
" report," the First Lieutenant ordered him into the coal
bunker until eight p.m ' with orders that he should be
allowed to walk the deck from one until two, which he
did, thereby
reducing the punishment to eight and a halt
hours, and that he should be reported to the officer of
the watch every hour as being safe, which ori.er was also
complied with until seven P.M., when the deceased was
reported well, and spoke to the non commissioned officer.
After that time it appears he left the place where he
was ordered to remain, and crawled further aft, where
it was more convenient to lie down, but where the coals
were more heated; the consequence was, the carbonic
acid gas proceeding from the heated coal produced drow-
siness and death.

1 he public may run away with the idea that a coal-
hole on board ship is somewhat similar in its nature and
size to a coal hole ashore. Such, however, is not the
case ; the bunker in which the deceased 'was confined,
on the port side of the ship, being at the time of his
confinement thirteen feet wide, twenty-four feet long,
and eight feet deep from the top of the coals to the open
grating in the clEck.
The First Lieutenant of the Retribution has incurred

his present serious responsibility in the endeavour to
save the rating of the deceased, and to prevent his being
flogged, which punishment must have been inflicted had
he reported the deceased to the captain before he, was
put in the coal-bunker. At the court of inquiry on
board, which sat to investigate the case, it was proved
that confinement in the coal-bunker is a common pu-
nishment on board steamers, even on board the Royal
acht.
Lieutenant S!ory is a most humane and considerate
officer, an ei,ensy to the lash, and a friend to the men
under his command. This is the character he has
hitherto borne, and we have no doubt it will be well
proved at the ensuing court-martial.
The Commander-in-Chit f, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle,
Bart., returned from leave of absence this morning at
eleven, and his flag was rehoisted on board the Excel-
lent, having been struck the night before last at sunset.
Sir Charles has been absent solely on business con-
nected with the Royal Naval School, of which institu-
tion he is president. We mention this, because there
has been an assertion circulated that he had been in at-
tendance on the Admiralty on matters connected with
the Retribution, which is utterly false.

vate l
having neither pigs, ducks, nor geese, nor
anything to sell,
except a few eggs. They are all cry-
ing with hunger, and even a little bit of our biscuit was
no small Godsend for them. We experienced a heavy
passage to Sligo, off which place there are some heavy
rollers, over the bar; but, as usual, we went through
everything, and having hoisted signal for a pilot, got
safely in, notwithstanding these long Atlantic seas,
which, with the prevailing winds, have vexed this coast
very heavily. Off Black Rock, near Achill Head, the
surf was frightful. What must it be in a very heavy
gale? This rock is more than 100 feet high, and the
surf ascends above half way up, such is the headlong
course of these heavy seas. At Sligo, the people (some
200), the other day, robbed a few meal carts, but I am
told paid the money. The meal, they said, they must
have. All are in great distress—a little quiet now, from a
hope that the Government are doing something to alle-
viate their awful distress. It would not take much to
fan them into a blase, although passive now. It is food
they want, not money. No molestation has been given
to us—all civil—but there is no knowing at what time
they contemplate a descent. Some stores were robbed
but a few days ago. We leave this, I expect, on Mon-
day, direct for England, and shall complete coals here,
at Sligo, with that view."

PLYMOUTH, OCT, 6.—After three P.M. yesterday we
had occasional heavy squalls of rain. The wind, which
was S.S.E. in the forenoon, veered round to S.W. at six
o'clock in the evening, when it was high tide; at nine it
blew moderately from N.W. The changing of the wind
prevented any further damage to Millbay-pier. Be-
tween twelve and one o'clock this morning a heavy gale
sprung up from S.W., which continued to the time of
high water, when serious apprehensions were excited for
the safety of those merchant vessels which sought shelter
hero during the storm, and which were, through stress
of weather, anchored in exposed positions. Indeed, had
any strange ships come in, or had those in the Sound
sought shelter in Catwater, several schooners lying in
rg p
the Catwater fair wav must have suffered. The Buck-
inghamshire East Indiaman dragged her. anchors yes-
terday afternoon ; she appears all safe now.
At nine last night a la e shi was apparently seen
inside the breakwater with her sails up, but owing to
the haziness of the weather it was not until six this
morning that she could be made out distinctly. She
proved to be her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Sir
Henry J. Leeke, bearing the flag of Sir James G.
Bremer. At nine this morning she saluted the flag of
the Port-Admiral, Sir John West.
THREE O'CLOCK, P.M.—The weather has in some mea-
sure moderated, the wind from the westward veering
north and south.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, October 8.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN RE J. W. SMYTH, D.D.

This insolvent, who is a clergyman, lately residing at
Erith, came up for protection. The insolvent is also
perpetual curate of a parish in Devonshire.
The schedule showed debts to the amount of 5,7841.,
and no assets.

The insolvent was supported by Mr. Cooke, and op-
posed by Mr. Buchanan, on behalf of sixteen creditors,
on several grounds, the principal of which were, that he
had been insolvent in 1840, and had not inserted his old
debts in the schedule, not having paid any dividend ;
that he had dealt largely in accommodation bills ; that
he had fraudulently obtained a carriage, plate, money,
and goods on a false representation ; that he had bought
the living of Erith for 7,0001., and had fraudulently dis-
posed of the same ; and that he had kept a clerical
agency office in Lincoln's Inn-fields, but had not filed his
books and papers. . . .

Mr. BUCIIi NAN proceeded to examine the insolvent,
and he elicited in the first few questions that the insol-
vent had deposited goods, no account of which appeared
on the schedule.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said it was impossible he
could entertain the petition when a full disclosure had
not been made.

Mr. CooKE said the insolvent was perfectly willing to
pay 1001. a year, and take his protection from time to
time, so long as the payments were made, He thought
this would be much more beneficial to the creditors
than pursuing the opposition.
Mr. BUCHANAN, having consulted several of his clients,
said that the offer was spurned with contempt ; it was
only adding insult to injury to make such an offer.
Mr. Comm said that no doubt the creditors were very
grand people, to show so much contempt.
Several creditors said they had been shamefully vic-
timised, and quite "a scene' took place, which was only
ended by the interference of the Commissioner.
Mr. CooKE said the insolvent must go to prison, and
pass the Insolvent Court.
Mr. BUCHANAN said that was the proper Court to be
applied to in such a case.
After an angry altercation between the insolvent and
his creditors,
The Learned COMMISSIONER said, as the insolvent's
offer was rejected, he must dismiss the petition.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CLERKENWELL.
A young man, with a strongly marked Jewish coun-
tenance, who gave the name of Joseph Miles, was charged
by George Kelt, an officer of the detective force, with
adopting the following ingenious plan for picking
pockets
The prisoner carried a bag, similar to that used by
Jew clothesmen, over bis right arm, and when he wished
to experimentalise on the pockets of a passenger he
spread the mouth of the bag out so as to completely
conceal his whole arm and hand, and then through a
hole in the side of it, he had an opportunity of using his
hand with the greatest ease and facility. The constable
saw him try this " move," as he termed it, upon about
twenty different persons in the City-road.
The prisoner protested, with a multitude of " flash"
expletives, that he never had a lock and key turned on
him in his life.
The constable not being able to swear to a previous
conviction against the prisoner,
Mr. COMDE discharged him, after a caution.
MARYLEBONE.
A CHALLENGE TO FIGHT.—MF. R. Clavering Savage,
a person of considerable property, residing in Welling-
ton-road, St. John's Wood, attended before Mr. Rawlin-
son, by virtue of a warrant which bad been placed in the
hands of Whirp, the officer, charging him with having
challenged Theodore Henry Shute, the principal witness
on the inquest relating to the death of the unfortunate
Baron de Bode, to fight a duel.
Dr. Shute stated, that his surgery is opposite to the
dwelling of the defendant, from whose premises loud
screams of " Murder" proceeded on the 10th ult., be-
tween seven and eight o'clock in the evening. Similar
cries had been heard from the same house before, and a
large mob of persons had assembled, and they insisted
upon the door leading to the stable-yard being opened
shortly afterwards.
Mr. RAwLINsoN—The defendant is brought here on
the charge of challenging you; come to that if you please.
Dr. Shute—Well, Sir, as I was sitting in my surgery,
there was a great noise at the door, and hearing the de-
fendant's voice, I ran out somewhat excited. He (de-
fendant) ran away to his own premises opposite, and
there abused me, calling me a blackguard and a gallipot
scraper, at the same time challenging me to fight at
Calais, either with pistols or swords,
Mr. RAWLINSON—YOU have told me what the de-
fendant said to you, now let me know what you said to
him? Dr. Shute—After he had called me names I cer-
tainly told him that if I could get at him I would thrash
him.
Defendant—You spat in my face, did you not ?
Dr. Shute—l admit that I tried to do so, but whether
I really did spit in your face or not I cannot tell.
Joseph Hooper, assistant to Dr. Shute, corroborated
the greater portion of the preceding evidence, stating,
that in addition to the challenge, which, he understood,
was to be a fight either with swords or pistols, he heard
defendant abuse Dr. Shute, whom he accused of having
caused pill-boxes and other rubbish to be thrown down
in front of his (defendant's) door. It was proposed that
the duel should take place at Calais, on the sands.
Mr. BAWLINSON—What did you hear complainant
say ? Witness—l heard him say, "I wish I could get
hold of you."
Another witness deposed to having heard defendant
make use of the offensive expressions imputed to him.
Defendant, in answer to the charge, said that the noise
was occasioned by a family dispute, and that a young
female with whom he was living, thought fit to call out
" Murder." He neither struck her, nor in any way ill-
used her, and as soon as the noise had in some degree
subsided, he went over to Dr. Shute, who had impro-
perly interfered, and complained of his having caused
pill-boxes and other rubbish to be placed at his (de-
f'endant's) door. He (Dr. Shute) then rushed at him in
a most furious manner, and not only aimed a blow at
him, but spat in his face. Being incensed at this, he
certainly did call the doctor a "gallipot scraper."
lie made no challenge at all to fight a duel, but told him
that for spitting in his face he might institute pro-
ceedings against him, not in a Police-court, but in an-
other way.
Witnesses were examined in behalf of the defendant,
and the magistrate, taking all the circumstances into
consideration, dismissed the case, remarking that both
parties seemed to have conducted themselves with much
indiscretion.
CHARGE OF UTTERING A COUNTERFEIT SOVEREIGN.
—A young man, named Henry Frezein, was charged
with having uttered a counterfeit sovereign to Mr. Hin-
ton, a cheesemonger, in the Edgware-road.
It appeared that on the previous night the prisoner
went to the shop and called for half a pound of chees-,
which was served to him. lie put down a piece re-
sembling a sovereign, and when prosecutor put it be-
tween his teeth it broke into three pieces. He then
called a constable and gave the prisoner into custody.
He was searched, and in his possession were found a
sixpence and four duplicates.
The piece alluded to was beautifully executed. A
number of other tradesmen in the same vicinity have of
late been offered, and have taken bad coin.
The prisoner, who said that he received the " sove-
reign " from his uncle, a plumber in Lisson-grove, was
remanded for the attendance of the Mint solicitor.
STAMS/NG.—Robert Price was charged with having
stabbed in the hand James Clements. The parties are
both cab drivers.
On Monday evening complainant was at the Euston
station of the London and Birmingham Railway, when
defendant, imagining that complainant had bilked "
him of a job, struck him with a knife, and wounded him
in the hand.—Fined 20s. and costs.
WESTMINSTER-
ASSAULT ON THE POLICE BY 'A WOMAN.—Anne
Churchman and Catherine Harris were charged with the
following disgraceful conduct at Cleaver's coffee-house,
Westminster- bridge.
Mrs. Mansfield, the wife of the proprietor, stated that
defendants came to the bar on the previous afternoon and
called for liquor, when observing that they were intoxi-
cated she refused to serve them. They became very
abusive, and Churchman seized a bottle of port wine
which was standing upon the counter, and dashed it to
the ground. She swore she would tear witness's eyes
out, and threw a handful of halfpence, which broke 12s.
worth of glass behind the bar.
The police proved that Churchman was so violent that
she required four men to take her to the station, two of
whom she assaulted.
Mrs. Mansfield observed that it was due to Harris to
say that she paid for the bottle of wine, and endeavoured
to persuade the other to be quiet and leave the place.
Mr. Bingham, taking this into consideration, fined
Harris 55., but as regarded Churchman he observed, that
for the protection of respectable persons, he should
commit ber for 21 days, and, in addition, order her to
pay 125., the amount of damages, or seven days.
DISTRESSING CASE.--A poor girl, about 15 years of
age, whose father was killed by an accident a few weeks
ago, applied to the magistrate for assistance. She said
that her mother and four children, younger than her-
self, were in a starving condition, and having been
turned out of their lodgings, had slept during the last
night on some stairs. Her mother had applied to the
relieving officers of St. Margaret's, who refused to afford
her any assistance, and told her to go to St. Luke's,
Chelsea, where they sent her back, without any relief,
to St. Margaret's. Between the two the family were
left to starve.
Mr. BINGHAM said it was the duty of the authorities
of St. Margaret's to relieve the family as casual paupers.
They could, if they thought fit, pass them to their set-
tlement. The worthy magistrate directed an officer to
accompany her to the workhouse and request the autho-
rities to attend to the case.
THAMES.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE NY AN ACTRESS.—Mrs. Anna
Yates, an actress belonging to the corps dramatique of
the Pavilion Theatre, in the Whitechapel-road, was
brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with having at-
tempted to commit suicide.
James Liddard, a waterman, said he belonged to Iron-
gate Stairs, adjoining the Tower, and was sitting on a
bench in the plying-place, on Monday night, a few
minutes before eight o'clock, when he saw the prisoner
coming down Tower-hill at full speed, towards the
stairs, and supposing that she wanted a boat, he plied
her in the usual manner, by calling out " A boat, ma'am,
a boat." She made no answer, but rushed past him to-
wards the river, and was about to jump in head fore-
most, when he sprang towards her and seized her by
the gown. She appeared in a very excited and agitated
state, and he led her to the bench, and after directing
her to be seated, asked her if she was ill. She fainted
away, and he bathed her temples with vinegar, and
when she recovered a little, made her drink some of it,
which appeared to rewire her, A young gentleman

directly afterwards made his appearance, who appeared
to know the prisoner well, and he asked her to-go away
with him. She repulsed him, and begged him to leave
her, on which he called for a cab, but as the prisoner
did not feel inclined to have his company, he refused to
let the young gentleman take her away in the cab, and
sent for a policeman.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Was the prisoner intoxicated ?
The waterman—l rather think she was drunk, but I
may be mistaken; perhaps it was her agitation.
Wigley, a police-constable, saw the prisoner on the
steps of the plying-place, and asked her why she at-
tempted to commit such a rash act as suicide, and she
said she had quarrelled with a man who insulted her.

The prisoner, who is about forty years of age, and
ladylike in appearance, on being called upon for her de-
fence, said she had been very grossly insulted by a per-
son to whom she was indebted, and she rushed away
from him with the intention of getting into a boat and
'crossing the river. She did not intend to commit any
act of desperation.
The waterman was satisfied the prisoner intended to
drown herself and nothing else, and there was twelve
feet of water just below the place where she was about
to throw herself in.

Inspector Scott, of the H division, stated, that when
the prisoner was brought to the station house, she was
in a very excited state, and he would not allow her to
depart until she had procured very respectable bail. He
asked her why she made the attempt on her life, to which
she replied that unforeseen calamities and insults had
induced her to act so rashly.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Did she deny the fact of going to
the waterside with the intention of drowning herself ?
Inspector Scott—No, sir, she did not.
Mr. Baker, a tradesman, residing in the vicinity of the
Pavilion, said he knew Mrs. Yates well. She was a
woman of considerable talent and good character. He
had never heard of anything to her prejudice before,
but he was afraid some misfortunes and insults had ex-
cited her.

Mr. BALLANTINE said that self murder was a great
offence, and the attempt to commit it is a misdemeanour,
and she was liable to severe punishment.
The prisoner said she had unfortunately been out of
an engagement for seventeen weeks, and was compelled
to borrow a small trifle of a person, who grossly insulted
her, and she could not endure the insult. She did not
owe more than Q. in the world.
Mr. BALLANTINE--It was too much to make an at-
tempt to throw yourself away for 51. Have you an en-
gagement now? The prisoner—I have, Sir, and lam
afraid this will interfere with my professional pursuits.
Mr. BALLANTINE—You should have thought of that
before.

Mr. Baker said the prisoner was indebted to him for
bread, but he was so well assured of her integrity, that
be would become surety for her future good behaviour.
Mr. BALLANTINE said that Mr. Baker was a good-
hearted fellow, and an honest man, and he would take
his bail conjointly with the prisoner's own recognisance
for her future good conduct.

The required sureties having been entered into, she
was discharged.

FOREIGN BRICKS.—A vessel from Tobago, West
India Islands, has brought the large number of 20,000
bricks, in additi,n to the usual description of cargo, but
which, by the ship's official report, appear to be intended
for re-shipment to a foreign country. However, so novel
a description of importation from the West Indies, for
any purpose, is remarkable.
The Cobden Tribute Fund now amounts to
74,3451. At the meeting of the committee on Tuesday,
it was stated that a day or two ago Sir Charles Tempest,
of Broughton-hall, Skipton, was in a shop, when the
proprietor, Mr. Agnew, said he would show the portrait
of " a great man." This was Cobden; and Sir Charles
admitted that he was indeed a great man, and said he
was glad the country was doing something for him. He
as willing, he said, to contribute his mite, and begged
Mr. Agnew to accept a 50/. note for the fund, observing
that Mr. Cobden had rendered great services to agricul-
ture. He (Sir Charles) was an agriculturist himself,
but he did not care who knew his opinions. Mr. Cobden
has left the Pyrenees for Spain. He would proceed in
the first place to Madrid, where he intended to remain
about a fortnight. He proposes, it is said, returning to
the Pyrenees, and it is not improbable that he may after-

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY.—For some time past
the want of a mechanical engineering institution having
been greatly felt, it was suggested by a number of influ-
ential men in the profession, that an institution devoted
to mechanical pursuits should be established. In accord-
ance with that suggestion this afternoon a meeting, con-
vened by circular, took place at the Queen's Hotel, to
consider the expediency of forming a Mechanical
Engineers' Association, with a view the better to enable
mechanics and engineers engaged in the different manu-
factories, railways, and other establishments in the
kingdom, to meet and correspond, and by a mutual in-
terchange of ideas respecting improvements in the
various branches of mechanical science, to increase their
knowledge, and give an impulse to inventions likely to
be useful to the world. Shortly after two o'clock Mr.
M'Connell, superintendent of the locomotive department
of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, was called to
the chair. Resolutions tending to carry out the object
of the meeting were then unanimously carried, after
which the company separated.
AFFRAY WITH SMUGGLERS.-011 Tuesday after-
noon last a bailiff, in the employ of Mr. John Drew, of
Wold Farm, West Haddingfield, on entering a rustic
lodge, situate in the midst of the extensive plantations
known as the Welthorpe Fells, discovered six nine-
gallon kegs filled with some description of liquor, stowed
away in a corner of the building. The bailiff gave in-
formation to the police, and Sergeant Walters, of the
local force, attended by a constable and an excise officer,
accompanied the bailiff to the place indicated. On
broaching the kegs, the exciseman pronounced the con-
tents to be foreign brandy, and, from the appearance
of the kegs, no doubt existed of their having been smug-
gled. The constables and
oofficer
measuresdetermined
accordingly.
theires
watching the lodge, and to
Towards midnight they heard a vehicle approaching,
and shortly afterwards three men entered the lodge and
commenced carrying out the kegs, upon which Sergeant
Walters and his two assistants rushed from their con-
cealment and endeavoured to capture the party. The
smugglers attempted to escape, but the officers closed
with them, and, after a sharp struggle, two of the men
were secured, but the third escaped. During the strug-
gle the vehicle brought by the smugglers was driven
off, and on entering the lodge after the affray, the
officers, to their surprise, discovered that the whole of
the kegs had been removed. An attempt was made to
trace the vehicle without success. The captured men
were examined yesterday by the district magistrate, and
fully committed. One of the men is well known in the
neighbourhood for his poaching propensities; the other
is a strAnger.
