THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY.—The West India
mail, due by the Severn steam-ship, Captain Vin-
cent, it is now ascertained cannot arrive here ,in
ordinary course, for some days to come. It appears
that the Teviot, with the outward mails, when about
300 miles beyond Bermuda, cracked the eve of her
starboard wing lever, and her commander, knowing
it to be useless to proceed on the voyage in such a
crippled state, immediately put back to Bermuda, got
coaled up, and was ready to proceed to England with
the Severn's mails, on her arrival at that port from
Mexico. The Severn would then take on the Teviot's
outward mails, and complete the intended voyage of
that ship. It is hardly possible to state with accuracy
when the Teviot may be expected, but it is beyond a
doubt that she cannot reach England for some days
to come. It may perhaps be necessary to state, for
the information of those having friends on board, that
not the slightest danger is to be anticipated in con-
sequence of the accident. The only difference is, that
the voyage must necessarily be somewhat longer
from Bermuda.

The Reindeer and Eagle, two of the Company's
intercolonial steam-ships, are hourly expected. They
were to leave St. Thomas's on the 17th ult. The
object of their coming home is to undergo repair
and alterations.

METROPOLITAN COMMISSION OF SEWERS.—The
Commissioners of Sewers held a meeting yesterday, at
the offices, in Greek-street, Soho, for the dispatch of
general business. The Hon. F. Byng presided, and the
others present were Viscount Ebrington, Mr. E. Chad-
wick, Dr. Southwood Smith, Professor Owen, Mr. Hut-
ton, Mr. Leslie, and Mr. Puckle. The commission as at
present constituted, being about to be modified under the
Act recently passed, a resolution was adopted for re-
quiring all claims against the past and the existing com-
missioners to be sent in without delay. During the
period when the checques for ordinary payments were
being signed, it appeared that there was one for the an-
nuitants for 1901. Mr. Hutton objected to the practice
of the sum being granted in gross ; and, after some dis-
cussion, it was resolved that cheques should be signed
for the amount due to each annuitant, and that the old
practice should be discontinued. It being stated that
the financial arrangements relative to the charges for
emptying cesspools, and the collection of the moneys
were in an unsatisfactory state, it was resolved, upon the
motion of Mr. Chadwick, that Mr. Hertslet, the clerk,
should report upon the subject. A fine of 501. upon the
owner of property in Beresford-street, Newington, for
an encroachment upon the sewers, was ordered to be
confirmed, unless it was removed in the course of a
week. The Commissioners then adjourned for three

weeks.
BOOKSELLERS' PROVIDENT INSTITUTION.—Yester•
day evening a meeting of directors of this institution was
held at their Committee-room, in Paternoster-row, for
transacting general business. The report congratulated
the members on the increasing prosperity of the institu-
tion, there baying during the past year been upwards of
1,0001. added to the permanent fund, although every ap.
plication for assistance had been met with liberality.
Six retail booksellers, twelve booksellers' assistants, and
three widows of each class have been afforded relief to
the amount of 2621. 15s. 4d. ; of these five are permanent
annuitants, waking a total gnu of near 1,3001, during the

MAIL GUABDS.—The mail guards are rapidly di-
minishing in number. There are not above 200 iu Eng-
land, Wales, and Scotland. A small batch of them have
very recently been compelled to accept the gratuity of
50L allowed them by the Treasury, and leave the service.
These were all juniors, who had not been in the Pest-
office service ten years; some of these have been offered,
and have accepted, the situations of post-men. It is now
intended to induce some of the senior guards to retire
from the service upon a superannuation allowance of
7s. 61. a week. The guards, however, are about to peti-
tion the Postmaster-General for a higher scale of allow-
ance. It appears that formerly, when mail guards be-
came aged and infirm, they used to be appointed to
situations where the duties were easy, upon lull salaries,
and when they were really obliged to retire from the
service altogether 7s. 6d. a week was considered a suffi-
cient pension. The Treasury scale of wages for mail-
guards is 701. a year for those Rho have been in
the service under three years ; 1001. for those
who have been in between three and ten years;
1151. between ten and fifteen years, and 1301.
above fifteen years. When a guard is laid up
through illness he only gets 10s. 6d. a week, and when
temporarily out of employment through the cessation of
a mail-coach he is obliged to perform duties in the Lon-
don eost office for 12s. a week. It appears that, with
the exception of a single instance, no guard was ever
convicted of a breach of trust whilst performing his
duties.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BRISTOL.—On Wednesday
night, between 10 andall o'clock, a fire, which threatened
the most serious consequenceF, broke out on the pre-
mises of Mr. Richards, an extensive paper manufacturer,
in Tower-lane. Information having been given by the
police to the central station, Captain Fisher, the super-
intendent, Inspectors Webb, Bile, and Bosworth, 12 ser-
geants, and a large body of the constabulary, were quickly
on the spot, but the fire had by that time obtained such
power that it was not extinguished till a large amount of
property was destroyed. It was only by the most unre-
mitting exertions of the firemen and police, assisted by a
large body of the inhabitants, that the extensive soap
manufactory of Messrs. Cox and Shaw, immediately con-
tiguous, was saved. It is not yet ascertained whether
the premises and stock were insured. The cause of the
fire has not been discovered.

ways placed the greatest confidence in you. Now tell
me, Thomas, how is it that my, butcher's bills are so
large, and that I always have such bad dinners P"—
Thomas—" Really, Sir, I don't know, for I am sure we
never have anything nice in the kitchen that we don't
always send some of it up into the parlour."—Punch.
THE LATE DESPERATE SUICIDE IN PICCADILLY.
—An inquest was held yesterday at the Charing-cross
Hospital, by Mr. Bedford, on the body of Norman
Howard, aged twenty-three, who committed suicide by
blowing his brains out. It appeared by the evidence of
several witnesses that deceased, whose friends reside at
Kent, bad held a situation at Mr. Cooper's, the large
tailor, of Suffolk street, Pall-mall, where he was so much
respected as to be entrusted with the entire management
of the business. Latterly, however, a suspicion arose as
to his honesty, chiefly attributable to his speculations in
racing lotteries, and some bad connexions he had re-
cently formed. He lost a large sum of money on the
late St. Leger, a moiety of which he had already paid.
This and other simular speculations had rendered him
unable to make up his accounts satisfactorily with his
employers, which, coupled with the circumstances of an
engagement to a young lady residing in Cirencester-
place, New-road, he became exceedingly despondent, and
hence his inducement to commit so rash an act. It

further appeared that deceased left business at. half past
nine on Wednesday morning, and having got into ayab
which was turning out of the Regent-circus, Piccadilly/
he fired off the pistol into his mouth. Death was 0 1
course instantaneous. After a lengthenel inc,uiry, the
jury returned the subjoined verdict :—" That de..,eLs4
died from the effects of a pistol shot, but whether he in-
tended to commit suicide at the time there was no evi-
dence to show."

THE SHERIFF'S LIVERIES.—The state liveries of
Mr. Alderman Finnic afford a brilliant specimen of civic
splendour. The coats are of green cloth, richly em-
broidered in gold, the waistcoats and breeches are of ker-
seymere, fully ornamented with broad :gold lace; but
the chief point of attraction is the thistle, introduced in
its natural colours. Messrs. Doudney, of Old Bond-
street, have had the honour to furnish these appointments.
Mr. Goodhart's liveries are equally splendid, but of a
different colour; they are supplied by Mr. Green, of
Clifford. street, and in both cases the taste and finish
displayed in these gorgeous dresses reflect the highest
credit upon the firms by which they have been manu-
factured.
A new 100-gun ship, named the Henry IV., was
launched at Cherbourg last week in the grandest style,
and without the slightest accident. There are still in
construction at Cherbourg two ships of the line, viz,
the Austerlitz, 100, and the Tilsit, 90, both of which
have been on the stocks for 16 years.—French paper.
THE PROVOSTSHIP OF EDINBURGH.—WO under-
stand that the following gentlemen have been spoken of
to supply the vacancy which will take place in the office
of Lord Provost in November next by the r'etirement of
Mr. Black :—Mr. W. Chambers, publisher ; Mr. Eagle
Henderson, seedsman ; Mr. Alex. Jamieson, merchant ;
Mr. W. Johnston, engraver ; Mr. J. Melville, W.S. ;
Mr. J. F. Macfarlan, druggist ; Dr. M'Laggan, and Mr.
, John blacfie.—Scotsman.

SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.-Yesterday the works
at London-bridge for enlarging the station and widening
the Greenwich Railway viaduct, suspended during the
monetary panic of 1847, were resumed. The bridge to
cross Bermondsey-street is rapidly progressing. The
Gravesend branch is also in a very forward state. It is
expected that it will be opened for public traffic early in
the spring.
THE MINING Dismicx.—We understand that the
miners of the Lower Ward of Lanarkshire, who were
last week on strike for a slight advance of wages (6d. per
day), have obtained their demand, and are all again at
work, with the exception of the colliers connected with
two establishments in the vicinity of Glasgow.--Glasgow
Chronicle.

POW'S SCHOLARSHIPS AT OXFORD AND CAM-
BRIDGE.—Two of the scholarships founded to the me-
mory of the Earl of Powis, by a body of chUrchmen, in
consequence lof his successful exertions in opposing the
demolition of the Welch bishoprics proposed by the
union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bagnor, are to be
filled up before the next University term, after the exa-
mina.ion of the candidates, which will take place at King
Edward's School, in Birmingham, during the first ten
days in October. In conformity with the principle on
which the scholarships were founded, candidates must be
natives of Wales or one of the Welch dioceses, and ac-
quainted with the Welch language. The scholarships
are of the annual value of 60/. each, tenable for four
years at any college or hall at either of the Universities
of Oxford or Cambridge.
BRITISH. MANUFACTURES.—There is a Hospital at
Westminster, that determined to uphold the principle of
patronising nothing but British productions, has issued
a placard, in which they distinctly state, they will take
no other cases of Cholera but what are proved to be
thoroughly British.—Punch.
DREADFUL MURDER.—The following letter from
Mountrath, Queen's County, dated the 19th instant, ap-
pears in the Freeman of this morning :—" One of the
most cold-blooded murders that ever disgraced any
neighbourhood occurred at Roskelton, within two miles
of this town, last night. As three young men were re-
turning from a funeral yesterday evening, they hap-
pened to go into a house of entertainment for some
coffee, or tea. There they unfortunately met with a
man of the name of Wright, who has been teaching at a
school at Roskelton during the last six months. Some
jokes were passed on Wright, by a rival lover, concern-
ing a sweetheart, when he drew a large knife and
plunged it into the intestines of his rival, a man of the
name of Mulluwney, which caused instant death.
Mul-
lowney had borne an excellent character, and was only
21 years of age. The murderer made his escape at the
moment, but, owing to the vigilance of Constable O'Neil,
of this town, he was arrested this morning at the Moun-
trath station, whilst in the act of stepping into the train,
and is at present in the police-barrack, until be is com-
mitted to Maryborough gaol."
DISCOVERY OF ROMAN REMAINS.—Yesterday and
during the week, while some men in the employment of
Messrs. Crook and Son were excavating the ground in
Suffolk-lane, Lower Thames-street, for the formation of
a sewer, they found a large quantity of Roman relics.

down. On one of the pieces the complete figure of a
man was distinctly traced. Many Roman coins were
mixed with the soil at a depth of about ten feet, being
of the time of Julius Caesar and of subsequent Em-
perors. One is stated to have been a gold coin. Nume-
rous pieces of broken pottery have been dug up, some
of them having the maker's name in very legible cha-
racters. The men have found the walls of the most
solid construction, being in some instances from four tO
six feet thick. Some blocks of stone were met with
which were elaborately worked. The locality adjoins
the Merchant Tailors' School, and the appearance of the
place shows that a building was once erected here of
considerable dimensions.
THE ISLAND OF TIGRE.—The Lords Commis-
sioners of the Treasury, having transmitted to the Cus-
toms Board the translation of a decree of the Govern-
ment of the State of Honduras, which has been received
at the Foreign Office through her Majesty's Consul.

visits to the different fortified points along the coast,
and has also been to the Channel Islands.
DUNDEE TRADE REPORT.—OUT trade is without
alteration, either as regards demand or prices. Flax,
tows, and Codillas aro quite saleable at the same rates
as formerly. Hemp and hemp cedilla are quite nominal
for want of transactions therein. Yarns and linens do
not appear to be accumulating, and are expected to im-
prove in value when the weavers that aro now at out-
door work return to their ordinary avocation.

THE COGGESHALL ROBBERIES.
CAPTURE OF Two MORE OF THE GANG.—During
the past week two more of the parties connected with
this gang hair° been apprehended under the following
circumstances :—On Tuesday last an inquiry of a
private character took place before some of the magis-
trates of the Witham division, touching these rob-
beries, when, from the particulars which transpired,
it was considered necessaryto institute some inquiries
in the neighbourhood of Fordham, near Colchester.
The result of these inquiries was, that a letter was
brought to light which put the police upon the right
scent to some parties who had rather suddenly
diappeared from Coggeshall. A special warrant
was therefore obtained from the Rev. Henry Du
Cane, at Witham, and placed in the bands of a
police-constable, Francis Livermore, No. 150, who
left Witham by the mail train at two
o'clock on Wednesday morning, and proceeded
direct to Liverpool, where he arrived about three
o'clock the same afternoon, and having obtained the
assistance of two police-Officers there, he proceeded
to make inquiries for the Colonist sailing-vessel, which
had been lying in port there, but found that she had
sailed the previous night, and was supposed to be
lying about four miles down the river. He there-
upon procured a sailing boat and went down the river,
and about six o'clock came in sight of the vessel. He
at 2nce, on reaching the side of the ship got on board,
and there apprehended William Payne and Thomas
Whittaker, two parties well known to him, and for
whom the warrant had been made out. They made
no resistance on the appearance of the officer, and
were at once ironed and taken back to Liverpool,
where they stayed that night, and the next day
were brought safely is custody to London, and
from thence to Witham, were they arrived by the
mail train in the evening. On the following
day they were brought up for examination,
before Sir John Page Wood, Bart., and the
Rev. Henry Du Cane, but, in order to give time for
getting up the evidence, they were remanded until
to-morrow week. The principal charge standing
against the prisoners now is, of being concerned in
the robbery at the residence of Mr. Charles Skingley,
at Coggeshall, several years since, but it is expected
that several further charges will be brought against
them. We need hardly state that the apprehension of
these parties, under the circumstances Just named,
has created quite a sensation in the neighbourhood of
Witham and Coggeshall, and much credit is given,
both by the magistrates and the public, to Police-
constable Livermore, for the zeal and activity he
displayed in capturing these fugitives in the manner
he had, when they must have considered themselves
beyond apprehension, for the ship was only waiting
the going out of the tide to set sail to New York ;
whence the parties were booked, and had paid their
fare; and we have no doubt that, when an opportunity
for promotion occurs in the force, he will not be
forgotten.—lpswich Express.

THE IRON TRADE.
The last three weeks of delightfully seasonable
weather have dispelled all anxiety as to the result of
the harvest, and afforded an opportunity to secure a
good and pletiful supply of provisions for the winter
season. The iron trade has partaken of the conse-
quent improvement in the general tone of feeling, and
a marked impression is prevalent that no necessity
can exist for much longer submitting to the present
unremunerative prices ; although the scarcity of
money, arising from an unwillingness on the part of
capitalists to entertain anything like speculative pro-
jects, still cramps the operations of every trade. We
are glad to learn that the steady home demand for
manufacturing purposes continues unabated, and that
within the last fortnight it has been deemed ad-
visable, in one instance, to declare an advance
of ten shillings per ton upon nail-rods, by a
house of the first standing, in order to prevent
too great an accumulation of orders; since the nail
ironmongers of the district, after having been induced
to abandon an attempt at reducing the wages of their
men, are now rather freely endeavouring to supply
themselves with rods. It appears, also, that very con-
siderable orders have lately arrived from various parts
of the Continent, where the novelty of military car-
nage and devastation seems to be losing its charms
under a practical comparison between the results of
civil convulsion and commercial industry, and it is
likely that in a short time our business transactions
there, which have been suspended during these dis-
turbances, will be again resumed to their full pre-
vious extent. In the pig trade prices are also well
supported, and a brisk demand prevails. Several
small lots have been taken at rather higher rates, and
a great amount of business might have been done had
the makers bees willing to sell. In the Scotch and
Welch markets also a decided improvement has taken
place, and the demand is so much more lively that
some of the furnaces that were standing have been
again put into blast. It is, however, to be hoped
that this example will not be incautiously followed to
any extent, as the prospects and gradual progress of
amendment may be easily blighted by over-produc-
tion. A cheering trait also may be noticed in the
number of advertisements for large contracts of iron of
different denominations that have lately begun to make
their appearance in the newspapers; and we are
happy to observe that many of the new branches
of railway, where operations for a time have
been suspended, are again exhibiting indications of
rene Ned progression. Upon the whole we think
that the trade is now gradually assuming a healthy
position; and rational grounds exist for the uni-
versal opinion that an advance of 10.. at least
miy without hazard be proposed at the coming
quarter-day. In this case the workmen will doubt-
less partake of the benefit; and notwithstanding the
colliers and miners on Saturday last gave notice for
3d. and 6d. a day advance—with the prospect re-
ferred to so near at hand—their own good sense and
feeling towards their employers. just emerging from
so severe an ordeal, must point out to them the pro-
priety of deferring a Premature application. Indeed,
we do not learn that the notice was the result of
any unanimous expression of feeling among the men
themselves, or that it was universally given—but
it seems to have arisen in most instances from anony-
mous handbills, industriously circulated by some
ill-designing persons, calling upon them to take such
a step. A fruitful source of complaint, however,
exists among the thick-coal colliers, in the fact that
different rates of wages are now given in different
localities of the South Staffordshire district, and this
has not generally been the case.—Birmingham

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 21.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs)
:HENRY SMITH'S BANKRUPTCY.
This bankrupt, described as of East Mailing, Kent,
paper manufacturer, came up on the question of certi-
ficate, supported by Mr. Lawrence. The ban krupt
was opposed on a former application-for his certificate,
on the ground of an alleged fraudulent preference in
favour of a relative, and the further consideration of
the ease stood adjourned pending the issue of an ac-
tion. The balance-sheet sets down creditors at
8,2991, and those holding security at 11,4841. The
available asserts are stated to amount to 3,8221. The
assignees offered no opposition, and the bankrupt's
certificate was allowed.

HENRY KNAPP'S BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. LAWRANCE, who appeared on behalf of the
bankrupt, a banker at Abingdon, said his client's ex-
amination had been adjourned from the month of
June last, in order that he might furnish certain
accounts as explanatory of his Stock-Exchange trans-
actions. These statements had only been filed ten or
twelve days, and the official assignee (Mr. Johnson)
required a month to examine them. If anythhig arose
within that time needing explanation the bankrupt
would be happy to render all the assistance in his
power, but would decidedly oppose any further post-
ponement.

Mr. llAwsuNs, as counsel for the assignees, was
not instructed to object to the present arrangement.
The bankrupt's accounts had occupied ten months in
their preparation.
Mr. LAWRANCE remarked that the bankrupt was
only anxious to relieve himself and his family from
the imputation of having concealed any portion of the
creditors' money.
Ultimately Thursday, Oct. 26, was appointed for
the bankrupt's adjourned examination.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 21.
(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.)
IN RE WILLIAM WHITE.
This insolvent had :petitioned under the Protection
Act, and now sought to be dischorged from custody
until the day appointed for his first hearing.
Mr. COOKE opposed upon the ground that the in-
solvent had falsely described himself as a non-trader,
and called a witness named Samuel Snook, who de-
posed that he had worked for the insolvent (a builder)
prior to his bankruptcy in 1847, and also subsequently.
Mr. NicuoLs, who appeared for the insolvent, re-
commended his client, after this evidence, to give up
the present petition and apply under the Ist and 2d
Victoria, c. 110.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that was un-
doubtedly the proper course to be pursued, and there-
fore he should dismiss the present petition.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.)
IN RE J. G. STEWART.
This insolvent, a lieutenant in the Ist West India
Regiment, was opposed on petition to be discharged
by Mr. Nichols, on behalf of a creditor named
Fumes, by Mr. Sturgeon for Mr. Joel, and by two
creditors in person. Mr. Cooke supported.
Mr. Joel being a creditor on a bill of exchange, the
Court required the production of that document, but
it could not be found.
Mr. STURGEON submitted that, as an action had
been brought and a judgment recovered upon this
bill, there could be no doubt of Mr. Joel's right to
oppose.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said he intended to re-
quire the production of a bill of exchange in all cases
where it formed the foundation of a debt.
Mr. Joel's opposition was then refused.
Mr. Morland, army tailor, Jermyn-street, com-
plained that the insolvent gave them a bill for 160/. in
May last to cover a debt of 69/. due by himself, and
94/. from his brother who had gone out to India.
The insolvent had stated that he expected to have a
large sum of money paid into Cox's to his account.
The insolvent, upon being examined, said the
money he expected was a sum of 1,3001., which he
had a power of attorney from his father to receive.
He had paid 401. on account of the dishonoured bill.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said he saw nothing in
Mr. Morland's complaint to prevent the insolvent
being discharged.
Mr. NicuoLs prayed the Court to:adjourn the case
for a few days, as Mr. Fumes, who was a material
witness, was at present prevented from attending by
reason of illness.
After some discussion, the case was adjourned
until Thursday next.
IN RE GEORGE SUTHERLAND.
This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Cooke, and was
supported by Mr. Dowse.
The opposition was twofold, on account of :a vexa-
tious defence whereby the creditors had been put to
401. law costs, and on account of a making away of
property by giving a bill of sale to a Mr. Moir shortly
before his arrest.
The COURT considered the complaints proved, and
remanded the insolvent for a period of 12 calendar
months from the date of his vesting order.

EXTRAORDINARY CROP OF POTATOES.—A gentle-
man in Banff having in the spring received a few
potatoes, part of a small quantity procured from Rotter-
dam, planted them in his garden ill the Seatown, having
cut the seed as usual. The plants very soon appeared,
and through the summer continued to grow most luxu-
riantly, so much so that all who saw them predicted that
there would be nothing hut shawl. This prediction,
which was on Tuesday last, there were
however has been anything but verified; for, on the crop
bring
the ground, which consisted of exactly
Scotch rood or fall, or the 160th part of a Scotch
acre, the unprecedented quantity of eighteen pecks, or
four and a half bushels—the produce being thus at the
ogaietnhfreddu dug,
rate of 720 bushels per sere. At several of the stems
upwards of forty potatoes vrere found; one had sixty-
three full-grown potatoes, and at another were counted
the very extraordinary number of 110. We understand
that the gentleman who received them has determined
upon greening and preserving the whole for seed, and
we sincerely trust that he will be successful in bringing
mention that prolificpotato into general use. We may
there was not the slightest appearance
of disease, but on the contrary, every tuber had the most
healthy appearance, giving every reason to believe that
not a seed will be lost.—Bantf Journal.
Tim AFFONSO STEAM FRIGATE.—This fine vessel,
the crew of which have earned an European fame for
their humane and disinterested conduct, sailed from
Liverpool on Tuesday for Lisbon and Rio de Janerio.
DEATH BY AMMONIA.--On Saturday evening a
journeyman hatter in the employment of a firm in the
Canongate went into a closet on the premises, and lift •
ing up a phial, containing tionnonia, took a mouthful or
two of this powerful t xeoriative, the consequence of
which was that he died within an hour, his mouth,
tongue, and throat having swelled to such an extent as
to produce suffocation. The case is under medical in-
vestigation, and us yet it is not known whether the de-
ceased partook of the ammonia from a suicidal intention,
or mistook it for spirit of wine, of which he had been in
the habit of tasting freely and with impunity, he having

THEFT AND RECOVERY OF THE PROPERTY.—OH
Wednesday a lady, while attending a sale of furni-
ture, discovered that her purse had been taken from her
pocket. On mentioning the circumstance to some par-
ties in the room the company were desired to remain,
and in the meantime the police were sent for. On their
arrival a search was made, but unfortunately they were
unsuccessful in discovering the thief. All hopes of ever
again seeing the purse and its contents having been
given up by the lady, she returned home. In the course
of the evening, however, she was not a little surprised to
hear of its discovery; for about six o'clock in the even.
ing she received from the auctioneer intimation to that
effect. It appears that a respectable gentleman, who had
also been attending the sale, after dinner had put his
hand into his pocket for his handkerchief, drew out the
missing purse. He immediately delivered it over to the
auctioneer, with its contents all safe. There cannot be a
named
doubt that the thief, fearing detection, had slipped it into
Bagshaw, accompanied by her three children,
that gentleman's pocket.—Glasgow Chronicle.
CHILD••STBALING--E. ar y in May last, a Woman
came to Manchester from Sheffield, in search of her ,
hus-
band. Not finding him she went to the workhouse for
relief, and there raet another woman named Lloyd, who
had come to Manchester on a similar errand, and had
been also obliged to apply for parochial assistance.

While waiting at the workhouse Lloyd seemed to take
much notice of Bagshaw's youngest child, which was
rather more than a twelvemonth old, and after playing
with it for several minutes, sat down with it in her arms
on the door-step. Shortly afterwards Bagshaw looked
about for her child, and found that both it and Lloyd
vanished. She immediately went to the police-office,
and gave information of the theft, and a description of

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
Before Mr. Justice ERLE and,,Mr. Justice WIL-
LiAms.)
Theodore Piedfort, the Frenchman who was con-
victed on Wednesday of a felonious assault upon a
woman, was brought up for judgment.
The prisoner addressed the Court in French, and
prayed their Lordships to have mercy upon him for
the sake of his wife and children. He declared to
God that he was innocent of the crime.
Mr. Justice ERLE said the jury had paid great
attention to the case, and had considered it most
carefully, and they had come to the conclusion that
he was guilty of the offence imputed to him, and it
appeared to him that it was of an aggravated cha-
racter. He had deliberately taken advantage of the
defenceless position of the prosecutrix to commit the
crime, and he (the Learned Judge) considered that
he should be neglecting his duty if he did not pass a
severe sentence. A very short time back the offence
was a capital one, and at present any person con-
victed of it was liable to be transported for life. He
should not go to that extent, but taking into con-
sideration the character of the offence, he felt called
upon to sentence him to be transported for twenty
years.
William Stennett, the postman who yesterday
pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a letter con-
taining money, was also brought up for judgment,
and he was sentenced to be transported for ten years.
) Mary Ann West, 27, a married woman, was in-
dieted for the manslaughter of her mother, Elizabeth
Shields, by striking her on the head with a brick, and
by beating her, and casting her upon the ground.
Mr. O'Brien prosecuted, and Mr. Prendergast ap-
peared for the prisoner.
Martha Foster, a little girl nine years old, deposed
that she lived at No. 10, Lower Marsh, Lambeth,
and the prisoner lodged in the same house. The
deceased lodged next door, and on the afternoon of
the 30th of August she was in the back yard of her
house, and the prisoner was in the garden of No. 10.
They were quarrelling, and after they had talked
some time, the prisoner picked up a brick and threw
it at her mother, and it struck her on the back part
of the head. The deceased picked up an oyster-shell
and threw it at her daughter, and then went into the
house. The prisoner followed her, and then there was
a great noise in the passage, and witness went into
the house and saw the deceased, and at that time her
head was covered with blood.
Cross-examined—The old lady called her daughter
a very bad name, and said that she bad robbed her
of 101.
Mr. R. Hemmings deposed, that he occupied the
house No. 11, Lower Marsh, and the deceased lived
in his back parlour. She was of very intemperate
habits, and was continually drunk. Upon the after-
noon in question he heard a noise in the passage of his
house, and on going down he found the prisoner and
deceased struggling together, and the latter had her
hand fast clenched in her daughter's hair. The
prisoner appeared to be struggling to get away, and
at length the deceased fell down heavily backwards,
and her head struck against a step in the passage, the
prisoner being dragged down on the top of her by
her hair. He endeavoured to separate them, but
w tehree
found it impossible to do so, and he sent for a police-
man, and when the deceased got up he saw that her

Cross-examined—When he first saw the prisoner
and the deceased the former appeared to be trying to
get away, but her mother held her fast by the hair,
and dragged her down with her, and the prisoner
repeatedly begged her to loose her hold. The de-
ceased was quite drunk at the time, and in fact she
was constantly drunk during the period she had
lodged with him. She was frequently quite drunk
so early as six o'clock in the morning, and she would
then stop in her rooms a short time, and when she got
better she would go out and get drunk a second time.
'When she was in that state she would always aggra-
vate her daughter and call her bad names, and also
charge her with robbing her.
Norman, the police-constable who was called in,
deposed that the deceased gave her daughter into
custody for assaulting and robbing her, and upon in-
quiry before the magistrate, the prisoner was ordered
to find bail to keep the peace towards her mother.
Mrs. Humphreys, the wife of the former witness,
deposed that she never saw deceased sober, and that
she was in the habit of falling down frequently, and
she heard she had had a severe fall about a week be-
fore this affair happened.
Mr. O'Shee, a surgeon, who saw the deceased on
the Sunday after the occurrence, proved that her
death was immediately caused by erysipelas. lie

CAPTURE OP A GOLDEN EAGLE.—A very fine male
specimen of this rare bird was shot a few days ago in
Gaick Forest, by William Grindley, servant to Viscount
Maidstone. The eagle was first observed from the top
of Msluygb, a high and rugged hill in the centre of the
Grampian range, pursuing a covey of grouse. On being
brought to the ground by a slight wound in the wing, a
fight took place between it and Grindley and another
man, in which the animal defended itself with bill and
sctlraeweifoorf u
this pwards of half an hour, after which it was
secured. It is now being stuffed by Mr. Fenton, George-
where it may be seen. When fully
spread, the wings measure six feet between the extremi•
ties, the length of the animal from the bill to the tip of
the tail being thirty-three inches.
WOOLWICH, SEPT. 20.—The whole of the gentle-
men cadets of the Upper Royal Military Academy
marched into the country yesterday armed with carbines,,
and wearing their accoutrements, and returned by the
lower Greenwich road, past the Dockyard and Royal
Marine Barracks, entering the Artillery-ground at the
north-west -gate, and so across the common to their
barracks, headed by Lieutenant M. S. Biddulph, and ac-
companied by the sergeant-major, the drill-sergeants,
and bugler. The gentlemen cadets bad advanced and
rear guards thrown out during the march, similar to
those in line regiments.

and face, but they were not sufficient to cause death
in themselves; the death was occasioned by erysi-
pelas, acting upon a debilitated frame and broken
constitution. The erysipelas, he had no doubt, was
the result of the injury that appeared upon the face
of the deceased.
In answer to a question put by the Learned
JUDGE, the witness said, that drunken and intem-
perate habits might in themselves produce erysipelas
in the system, and in such a case violence would ac-
celerate its appearance.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, in addressing the jury for the
prisoner, expressed his opinion that they would
hardly convict her of this offence upon the evidence
that had been adduced. It was quite clear that the
deceased was a drunken, violent person, and that she
was constantly in the habit of aggravating her daugh-
ter, and although on this occasion there had been a
struggle between them, all that the prisoner ap-
peared to be proved to have done was, to endeavour
to get away from her mother : and the injuries upon
the head of the deceased might have been the result of
her own violence on this occasion or of her drunken
habits.

A witness was called who gave the prisoner a good
character for humane conduct, and who also stated
that during the illness of the deceased she waited upon
her with the utmost kindness and attention. It like-
wise appeared that the deceased had frequently fallen
down when drunk, and about three weeks before the
occurrence in question she fell down stairs, when in
that state, and hurt her head.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
FORGERY.—A young man, named Waddy, was in-
dicted for uttering a forged cheque for 10/. upon the
London Joint-Stock Bank, in the City.
Frederick Roundtree, a publican, stated that the pri-
soner, on Saturday, the 21st of August, came to his
house, and asked him to advance him some money upon
a cheque until Monday morning, as the bank was shut
up, and said, if he would do so he would pay off a- por-
tion of an old debt he owed. He said the 101. was his
share of some property belonging to his deceased aunt,
and that in a month he expected to receive some more.
Witness advanced him 21. The cheque purported to be
drawn by E. Mealy, of Elm-court, Temple, but the bank
refused to cash it on its being taken on Monday morning,
and the forgery was discovered.
Cross- examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner was
not in a state of intoxication when he gave him the
cheque.
Several other witnesses having been called,
Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury for the defence,
and called witnesses to character.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was
sentenced to seven years' transportation.
The trial of Ann Trinham, the unfortunate woman
who stands accused of murdering her child by leaping
from a steam-boat in the river, was postponed until next
session.

NEW COURT.
• (Before the RECORDER.)
Thomas Pyle, aged 42, a smith, was indicted for
stealing a quantity of tools, valued at 71., the property
of Thomas Jackson.
Mr. Robinson defended the prisoner.
Mr. PARNELL stated the following case to the jury:—
The prisoner was foreman to the smiths in the employ
of the prosecutor, who is the well-known builder and
railway contractor, residing at Pimlico. In conse-
quence of the slackness of trade the prisoner had been
for some months past engaged in making tools, and,
upon his receiving notice to quit the service, he was
requested to give up the tools named in the indict-
ment, which, not being forthcoming, his lodgings
were searched, and the things found. The prisoner
then said that he was about to leave, he had taken the
things to assist him when he set up in business. The
prisoner gave up the whole of the property voluntarily,
none of which had been defaced or made away witb,
and could not have been identified by the prosecu-
tors, but for his stating that it was their property.
Mr. ROBINSON denied any felonious intention on
the part of his client, and called a number of witnesses
who gave him a high character for honesty for a great
number of years.
The RECORDER, in summing up, said the prosecu-
tors were quite right in sending the case for trial, but
that however irregularly the prisoner had behaved,
his subsequent conduct went a long way to negative
the supposition that his intention was felonious, and
as the tools were unfinished and the prisoner had a
right to:keep them in his custody, he did not consider
the charge could be sustained from the simple fact of
the things being removed to his lodgings, especially
as the term of his service had not expired.
The jury, after a short consultation, Acquitted the
prisoner.

Henry Curzon, aged 24, a labourer, was indicted
for stealing nine sovereigns, the property of William
Bennett, in his dwelling-house.
Mr. Parnell prosecuted, and Mr. Payne defended
the prisoner.
Mrs. Matilda Bennett, the wife of the prosecutor,
stated, that they lived at No. 3, Queen-street, Horse-

lydown, and her husband is the owner of the Clemen

tina, a vessel trading between England and Ireland,
The prisoner is their cousin by marriage, and lodged
' with them ; and upon the 10th of July witness gave
to prisoner the money named in the indictment for
the purpose of paying some rent that was due, she
being about to accompany her husband upon his
journey. They returned upon the 16th of August,
and when witness got home the prisoner was absent.
He returned in the course of the afternoon, and
then said that he was going out, and should be
detained late, and wished to have the street-door key,
which witness refused to let him have, and said
her sister should sit up for him. She retired to rest
early, and about 11 o'clock the prisoner came home,
and made a statement to her sister which caused her
to go down stairs ; and she then learnt from the pri-
soner that he had seen two men leap from the top of
the street door, and that he had found they had been
into the room he occupied and broke open his box.
On the next murning he gave him notice to leave
the house, and he theWld her that he had not paid
the rent, and that the money which had been left for
that purpose had been stolen on the previous night.
Miss Curtis, sister to the last witness, corroborated
her statement, adding that no one could have entered
the house as alluded to by the prisoner; and that
two policemen (whom he fetched in to see the place
that had been broken into) said no one had ever
been in the place, and that the story was a fabri-
cation.

The 'other evidence went to prove that when the
landlord's agent called for the rent, the prisoner
made a variety of excuses for not paying him, and
that on the day previously to the prosecutor's return
he had made La similar statement about a robbery
having taken place by which he had lost the money.
Mr. PAYNE contended that the money having been
voluntarily given to the prisoner, who was in the
capacity of a servant, the fact of his having appro-
priated it to his own purposes would not constitute a
felony.

After some argument, the RECORDER left it for the
jury to say whether the prisoner took the money with
an intention of
.depriving the prosecutor of it, or
whether he only Intended to appropriate it to his own
purpose for a time, and whether they believed the
prisoner had been robbed, as he stated.
Eventually the jury returned a verdict, that they
did not believe the story of the robbery, and that they
thought, having appropriated a portion of the money
to his own use, he was unable to make good the whole
payment.

The RECORDER saki that, under these circum-
stances, a charge of larceny could not be sustained,
and directed his acquittal.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Yesterday William Nash was brought up for final
examination on the charge of stealing a horse and
gig, the property of Mr. Stapleton.
A fresh case was entered into where the prisoner
hired a one-horse britzska for the purpose of taking
a drive into the country. The coachman drove him
to the Eagle at Snaresbrook, as he wished to enjoy a
dinner in the country. The dinner was ordered, and
partaken of both by the prisoner and the coachman ;
after which the former, as usual, said he was going
to take a walk, and ordered tea to be ready, at the
same time very considerately telling the landlord to
let his servant have whatever he wanted. Betore
leaving, however, he went to the coachmhane
and
borrowed 25., promising to repay him when paid
his bill.

Mr. R. T. Peters, the landlord of the Blue Bcar,
Holborn, deposed to the fact of the prisoner entering
his service about four or five months back under the
none of Selvey. He was discharged about a month
ago for irregularity.
Alderman LAWRENCE said he should send him for
trial to the Central Criminal Court.

Alphonse Pillon and Josephine Raoul were brought
before Mr. Bingham for final examination, charged
with being concerned in a robbery of 57 yards of
silk, value 161., from the shop of Mr. IV. Pugh, silk
mercer, No. 163, Regent-street.
The woman Raoul has been long known to the
police. It appeared that she was one of three French
persons who went into the prosecutor's shop to make
a purchase of silk. After the three French women
had left the shop the silk in question was. missed.
Pillon was found to have pledged some portions of the
silk, and he v‘as taken into custody,
