CASE OF MARY ANI': MCI-LARDS.

TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
San,— It is only to-day that my attention was di-
rected to your leading. article of the 24th December,
and as the individual by whom the case of the young
girl, Mary Ann Richards, was taken up, I feel it
an incumbent duty to offer you my warmest
thanks for your able advocacy in the cause of justice,
and to lay before you the following facts :
On Tuesday, the 19th day of October last, in con-
sequence of certain disclosures made by the girl, the
person calling himself Count de Werdinski was ap-
prehended by Sergeant Thompson, of the 1' division,
and brought before Mr. Jardine, the presiding magis-
strate at Bow -street.
The complainant and her nurse (to whom she had
flown for protection on the previous Saturday) having
been sworn, the prisoner was remanded till Friday,
the 22d, in order to give the officer an opportunity of
seeing some of the parties with whom they had
lodged. The case was then more fully gone into, and
witnesses deposed to the fact of an improper con-
nexion having existed since the year 1845, but there
being no legal proof of the complainant's age, a fur-
ther adjournment took place till the following Tues-
day, to collect evidence on that head. This, however
(notwithstanding the exertions of Sergeant Thompson)
could not be satisfactorily established. The more
serious charge was, therefore, abandoned, and that of
cruelty gone into, which was clearly proved by the
searcher of the court, the unfortunate young creature
having scars across the neck, shoulders, abdomen, and
lower extremities, as if pieces of flesh had been cut
out. It appeared, from the testimony of two very
respectable witnesses, that the prisoner was
in the habit of flogging hrr naked with
a riding whip, and also a cane. Re would
then have been committed for trial had not a
number of lodging-house keepers and tradespeople
complained to the magistrate (Mr. Jardine) that he
(the prisoner) had got into their debt fraudulently,
whereupon Mr. Jardine remanded the prisoner till
Tuesday, the 3d December, and there being no case
of trend brought against him, the prosecutrix and
witnesses were bound over in the usual way to pro-
secute, but owing to one of the witnesses being taken
suddenly ill his committal was not made out till the 6th.
The notices were duly served on the prosecutrix
and witnesses to appear at the court of adjourned
Sessions of the Peace in and for the county of Mid-
dlesex, to be holden at the Sessions House on Clerken-
well-green, in the said county, on the 18th day of
December last, and then and there give evidence
against Adolphe de Werdinski. The whole of the
abovenamed were in attendance at the said Sessions
House ten minutes before ten o'clock on Wednesday,
the 18th day of December last. Sergeant Thompson
(who had the management of the case) applied for the
bill of indictment ahead eleven o'clock. The fees
were then demanded. Thompson replied they could
not he paid, the prosecutrix is a child. Where is her
mother ? asked the clerk. She has none, anawered
the officer. Where is her father ? The same answer
was rammed ; she has none, she is a friendless child.

5 2

The prosecutrix and witnesses were then told they
might go up stairs and wait. These instructions they
followed. Tne court broke up shortly after one o'clock,
The prisoner was discharged, the prosecutrix and
witnesses still being in the waiting, room ; and it was
not till two o'clock they were apprised of the fact.
Now, Sir, here is a person charged with crimes
which outrage the feelings of society set free without
evert the semblance of a trial.
Bae.3 the fallacious machinery of the criminal law
allow such an oftrider to shove by justice, because
his victim is a friendless orphan and destitute of the
moans of paying certain fees, or providing legal as-
sist Lace ? L the opinion of the committing magis-
trate (a barrister and Recorder of Bath), who efter a
most patient and humane investigation declared it was
a case far too serious to be disposed of summarily, to
be as nought ? Is the public time of a magistrate of
no value? Are the witnesses who attended at the
court, and also at each examination, with great per.
sonsl inconvenience, not to say expense, to be again
dragged- forth at the next sessions, merely because a
delay arises with the officials attached to the court ?
Surely the sooner this is looked to and thoroughly
reformed the better, and then the course of justice
will not be impeded, and the poor and friendless may
look up to the law and hope for succour and protec-
tion.--I am, Sir, &c.,
WILLIAM MONTAGUE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sitt,-1. am desired by the board of directors to in-
form you that the accounts for the past half-year
having been this day submitted to them, they have
decided upon recommending the payment of a divi-
dend at the rate of 525. per cent. for the half-year on
the consolidated stock of the company, after placing a
sum of 10,0001. to the credit of the reserve fund, and
carrying forward a balance of about 4,0001. to the
current half-year. The dividend for the past year
will therefore have amounted to 41. 2s. per cent.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

SALES OF THE MOUNTCASHELL ESTATES.
DUBLIN, FRIDAY.—The average rate of purchase for
the lots of the Kells and Braid estates of the Earl of
Mountcashell, sold in Belfast on Tuesday last, was nine-
teen and a half years,'estimated upon the existing rentals,
which are considered higher than the present letting
value. During the sales one of the tenants appeared,
and stated that the occupiers on one portion of the pro-
perty required a reduction of thirty per cent. in their
rents. , At the previous sale in Belfast and Dublin the
average rate was not more than eighteen years purchase.
The total amount realised by the sales of the Mount-
cashell estates already effected is 163,0001., but the Gal-
gorm estate is yet to he disposed of ; and it is stated
that the delay has been caused by a proceeding on the
part of some of the creditors to annul a lease of a por-
tion of that estate, made some years since, on the ground,
as it is alleged that the rent is greatly below the
'actual :value. It is likely that the Antrim estates
will produce a sum sufficient to pay off nearly the
entire of the encrumbances, leaving the extensive
southern estates of Lord Mounteashell free from all
charges, with the exception of some old mortgages of
no very considerable, amount. It is worthy of notice
that two of the estates already sold are now divided
amongst more then twenty new proprietors—generally
pirsons of "capital, who have realised their money in
trade.
The sales in the Encumbered Court in Dublin will
be resumed this day. The Commissioners have their
lists quite full for some months to come ; but it is un-
derstood that the practice of sales in the country towns,
having pi ovell so successful in the cases where the ex-
periment has been tried, will be carried out to a consider-
able extent in future, especially where the estates axe
seijacent to large towns.
SALE OF THE MONTORLONY ESTATE.—The Mentor-
, lony estate, consisting of 9,600 statute acres, in the
enuniy of Tyrone, has hien sold by Messrs. Stewart,
Pun, and Kincaid, to Robert Pulsford, Esq., of Upper
Belgravo
,street, London. This estate is iu the Encum-
bered Court, arid an application will be made to the
Commissioners this day to confirm the sale. The rate
of purchase for this property is twenty years, estimated
' by Grafi h'th valuation.

TUE SEXTONSHIP OF NEW ARK FOE THE LAST
SEVENTY. roust YEARS.—It appears that the office of sexton
in the parish of Newark has been in the family of the
Corbys for a period of upwards of 74 years, and is still re-
tained in the family, to the satisfaCtion both of the inhabi-
tants and vicars then and there in existence. Fr( m dates,
we find that the first of the family entered on office in the
•year.l77s, and died in 1;95, thus being 20 years in office,
in which period he buried 2,823 souls. Then we find that
his scn John, who bore the Christian name of his father,
succeeded him on January 1, 1796, and died in the year
1838, in which time he buried 6,918 souls, in 42 years; and
upon his decease the chuichwardens for the time being took
the matter into consideration whether the widow should
hold the office for the benefit of herself and family, and it
was 'agreed by them Abut, it should be so; and by the aid of
her sons, who will no doubt ultiniately succeed to the office,
she has carried out the occupation of sexton to this period ;
auk:from the date of her husband's death up to the 23d of
November last, she had buried, in 12 years, 2,8C3. There-
fore, if we put •the aggregate together *e find—John Corby,
,yen., buried 2,823; John Corby, jun.ditto 6,918 Esther
(the widow), ditto 2,803; total, 12,544; thus showing that
in the space of 74 years this family have interred actually,
as we believe, more than the population of Newark in 1850.

Wounds.—If these valuable medicines are used according to
the directions gis en with them, there is no wound, bad leg, or
ulcerous sore, however obstinate and long standing, but will
yield to their curative powers. Numbers of persons who have
been patients in the great hospitals, and under the care of
eminent surgeons, without deriving the least benefit, have
been cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills, when every
other remedy had failed. For glandular swellings, scrofula,
scurvy, and other diseases of the skin, there is no medicine that
can be used with so good an effect.—Sold by all Druggists and

LAMENTABLE IGNORANCE.--A lad, ten years of age,
named Walter Gilbert, was called as a witness in an assault
case at Rotheiham on Monday, when Mr. Bosvile said,
" Can- you read or write?" "No 1" said the lad, in a surly
tone. "Do you go to any day school ?" "No," was again
the reply. "Do you go to the Sunday school, then ?"
" No," continued the boy. "Do you ever go to a place of
worship ?" The form of thenegative was used for the fourth
time. "'Do you know what an oath is ?" " No." " What
becomes of people who tell lies ?" After some hesitation,
Gilbert said, "They go to t' oud lad." "And what do you
mean by t' oud lad?' " For a while the lad was silent, but
ultimately, upon the question being repeated, said, "I don't
know." it is needless to say that the evidence of such a
witness was deemed inadmissible.-- Sheffield Times.

PHILLIPS'S HISTORICAL, VOCAL, AND
ARTISTIC ENTERTAIAMENT, APOL-

LONICAN ROOMS, ST. MARTIN'S-LANE.
We yesterday had an opportunity of hearing Mr.
Phillips's lecture, and little suspected when we en-
tered the rooms what the precise nature of it was.
The very subject—lreland-1n these anxious times,
seems to premise a solemn discussion of grave topics,
and we felt considerably relieved when we found that
the view taken by the lecturer of his subject was rather
historical, heroic, and romantic, than political, in the
first instance at least, for after indulging in the
brightest speculations on the remote golden era of the
Emerald Isle, and describing in the most vivid colours
the learning, virtues, industry, and chivalrous spirit
of her sons, the productions of her soil, the treasures
of her mines, the extent of her commerce, the wisdom
of her sages—in a word, her high rank among the
nations of Europe, all of which facts, we have the
lecturer's own admission for it, are held by many to
be somewhat problematical, suddenly we descend
from the glorious visions of ancient history as magni-
fied and sublimated by the interposition of the mist
of time, to that indisputable and undisputed reality,
the wit, humour, good nature, and frolicsome spirit
of her sons in the present day, and many,an amusing
anecdote tends to elucidate the subject, and to amuse
us. Ma) be the transition is rather sudden, possibly
the muse of History wonders at having so near at
hand the mask of Comus—but we were interested,

that Mr. Phillips's entertainment is rendered the
more pleasing by his singing with great effect several
of Moore's sweetest melodies, and two comic songs
irresistibly ludicrous. We admired his clear and ele-
gant enunciation in the first part, we wondered at the
perfection of his brogue in the second, and we felt
sure, as we heard him, that no Englishman, even if hf
had been born in Ireland (vide Sterne), could have
been more vernacularly correct. But the arts lend
their powerful aid to Mr. Phillips, and in the latter
part of his entertainment a st ries of beautiful dis-
solving views are exhibited, sufficient in themselves
to attract and command attention, and relieved by a
variety of anecdotes by the lecturer, either in expla•
nation of the localities, or on topics illustrating the,
character of Irishmen, particularly of the lower
class. In conclusion, we recommend to all who know
Ireland to bear testimony to the fidelity of the scenes
thus portrayed and illustrated, and as for those who
know it no,. let them but hear Mr. Phillips, and we
doubt not the result will be to secure a goodly num-
ber of visitors to the lakes of Killarney, &c., in the
ensuing season, when excursion trains once more
place the south of Ireland within a few hours and
pounds sterling of the great metropolis.

MAGAZINES, &c.—(CON TINUED.)

An interesting article on the " Withdrawal of One
Pound Bank of England Notes from Circulatign in
1821-1822," appears in the current number, com-
batting certain views entertained on that important
measure by The Economist. The writer endeavours,
but we think unsuccessfully, to show that the low
prices of commodities at that period were not ascrib-
able to the withdrawal of the one-pound notes from
circulation, but that they grew out of the common
relations cf supply and demand. We have also the
first of a series of sketches, illustrating the every-day
business operations of the leading commercial estab-
lishments, commencing with a description of the in-
ternal management of the London General Post-office.
The other papers are distinguished by the usual ac-
curacy and excellent arrangement of information
which marks the pages or this valuable periodical.

remarkable d.,gree of Steldiness, both in the way of in-
quiry and purchases of mining shares, and the 8111113
cvnstantly invested are to an amount hitherto unknown,
an far as British mining is concerned, as well as up ,n
soondor basis. Capitalists begin themselves to study and
appreciate the ph tses 01 a particular mina, whether al-
r,ady paying dividen:fs or approaching them; and it is
to be hoped that a similar caution will be exercised to-
wards all the new projects which toe state of things
described, in conjunction with an easy money markez,
naturally originates. We may mention, as an interest-
ing fact, that within two months the advance in Devon
Consols has been nearly 601. per share, and all other
first-rate concerns in proportion.
In the Metal Market there is a considerable demand
for Lead, which has increased in price.
Tin has also improved; much inquired for, with
limited supply.
Copper very firm.
A moderate business has been done in Spelter.
A rise in the price of Tin has taken place at Ham-
burgh.
The South Friendship Wheal Anne has sold 31 tons
of black tin, at 461. 7s. Gd. per ton.
The Drake Walls Mine sold 12 tons of tin at 441. 10s.
per ton, and 7 tons at 401. 10s. per ton. The mine is
looking much as usual.
The Great Beam Mine sold five parcels of black tin,
at prices varying from 461. 103. to 60/. per ton.
East Logylas sold 110 toss of lead ore, at ill. 17s. per
ton; and Frongoch, 80 tons, at 12/. ls. 6d. per ton.
11 The produce of the Lisburne mines is computed at 285
tons for Dec. and 282 tons for Jan. The report coati-
'flues favourable.
The Mold Mines sold 50 tons of lead ore, at 111.1 s. 6d.
per ton.
The Driggith Mine sold 12 tons of lead ore at 13/.,
and 6 at 91. per ton.
The monthly sale of lead ore from Herodsfoot took
place on the 9th inst., when 75 tons realised 121.35. 6d.
per ton, or 9131. 2s. 6d,
Three parcels of lead ore from South Australia were
sold at Holywell-28 tons at 131. 10s., 32 tons at 101.
12s. 6d., and 18 tons at 81. 6s. per ton.
At the Bat Holes Mine, four men are put to drive a
level on Barrett's lode, at 1/. ss. per fm., which will
yield 4 cwts. of lead ore per fm. The steam-engine
works well. The estimated produce for December is
60 tons.

The Glengola Mine (Galway) is doing well. The lot
of lead ore sold on the 3d inst. for 70 tons turned out to
be 75, at 11/. ss. per ton. In the sinking of Cooney's,
or the eastern shaft, they have cut a fine branch of ere.
Ile Colonel's shaft is still very productive, and Paul'.
gives good promise. The mine was only commenced on
the 11th January, 1850, and has yielded, up to the 31st
December, 192 tons 10 cwts.
At Mill Pool the lode has been cut rich in the engine-
shaft, and a pitch set in each end at Is. in the 11.
At Tregorden the lode in the 30 fm. level is worth
401. per frn.
At llennock they have cut into the lode 5 ft., which
is showing an improvement from the 10 to the 20 fm.
level.
At Alfred Consols the stopes in the 70 fathom level
are still worth 150/. per fins and the lode in the winze
sinking under the 60 fm. level from 1404 to 1601
per fro.
At Nanteos Mines the lode in the 30 fm. level east
has improved, and now yields a ton of ore per fin. The
sampling for the month will be from 35 to 40 tons
of ore.
At West Providence, the tin in reserve is valued at
30,000/., which can be taken away at an expense of 2s.
6.1. in 1/, as soon as the machinery is complete for
making it marketable.
At Sipearne Consols a pitch has been set in the 116.
west of engine shalt, to six men, at 2s. 9.1. in the 11., and
this set cf men will break upwards of 200/. worth of tin.
The Werleggan report states that a new lode has been
discovered in the bottom of the adtt, iu the south part of
the mine. It averages about 18 in. wide, and is be-
d to go the whole depth of the edit, being viewed as
a discovc.cy of considorable importance to the intehtai.) of
tee adventurers. It appears that the lode was lrtt
standing in the former workings.
The MiLerai Court report states that the lode in the
40 fathom level has been cut through, its sizJ being 6
t., ve which 3 ft. 6 in. is tin work of good quality, v:ri-
tying the anticipations of the agents as t t the increased
value of the lode in every succeeding level.
At East Wheal Rove Meeting, at Truro, on Tuesday,
the accounts for September and October were pres,,nted,
showing-Balance from last account, 2,633/. 73. 50.;
ores sold (less dues), 7,717/. 195.; Cargo!' adventurers,
