SOUTHWARK.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY FEMALES.—A ita ///tr/Cy, a
powerful-looking female, and who has been in custody
at least a hundred times for street robberies, but who
generally escaped through the absence of the prosecu-
tors, was brought before Mr. Combo charged with being
concerned, with another female not in custody, in steal-
ing a watch from James Patterson, with force and vio-
lence'

The prosecutor stated that on Monday night last he
was proceeding home in Blandford-street, Dover-road,
after spending the evening with some of his fellow-
clerks, and when ho was crossing Deverell•street he
slipped down accidentally. As be was attempting to
get up the females came to him and said they would as-
sist in lifting him up. Instead of that, however, they
pushed him down again with great force, and while
one held him there the other wrenched his watch
from a silver guard•chain, and before he could
recover himself they made their escape. He did not see
the faces of either of the females, therefore he could not
identify the prisoner as one of them ; but a lad who
helped him up saw the whole transaction, and could
give material evidence against the prisoner.
The lad in question with great preciseness stated that
he was passing Deverell-street, on Monday night, when
he saw the prosecutor on the ground, and the prisoner
and another female pulling him about. Witness dis-
tinctly saw the prisoner snatch his watch from the guard
chain, and they both decamped. He went and assisted
the prosecutor to get up, and then a constable came up,
to whom they gave information of the robbery. Witness
believed that he should be able to identify the other
female, who was much shorter than the prisoner.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said the lad must
be mistaken as she was not near the spot on Monday
night. In fact she was at the time in a public-house in
Tooley•street.
The lad was recalled by Mr. Cornbe, and he swore
positively to her being the female who stole the watch.
After she had taken it she ran towards Tooley-street.
The constable who apprehended her informed his
Worship that the prisoner was one of the most desperate
street thieves i❑ the Borough, and if she was remanded
he believed he should be able to find her companion and
obtain further evidence.
Mr. Combo accordingly remanded her.

Count Stackelberg, who brings a reply to the
propositions of the Allies, left St. Petersburg
yesterday.

Our letters, brought by the Euphrate, dated

M. Thouvenel has presented to the Sultan the
Star in diamonds, together with the other insignia,
of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour.
On this occasion the French Ambassador deli-
vered a speech, in which he showed the strong
evidence, afforded by so striking a manifestation,
of the sentiments of the Emperor of the French
in favour of the alliance which has plac2d Tur-
key under the protection of European law and of
civilisation.

To this speech the Sultan replied with much

fervour.

The Prussian Government has conferred deco-

rations on two Ottoman Ministers.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ,SEDUCTION,

(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
HAMBURG, Jan. 4.—The arrest of M. Campe, which I
mentioned in a former letter as having taken place some
days ago at the request of the Prussian police authori-
ties, and acceded to by the Hamburg senate, hailed to
great excitement among the citizens of this so-called
" free republic," and is likely to give rise to very
serious questions as to what right the police authorities
have for the future to comply with similar requisitions
from any confederate state, without the consent first of
the Frankfort Bond. In fact, the senate having become
satisfied that it had acted contrary to the ancient law of
the republic, which forbids such an arbitrary proceeding
against any citizen possessed of " freehold property,"
and as such having a vote in the nomination of the mem-
bers of the civil administration of the state, has after the
presentation of a numerously-signed petition for the im-
mediate liberation of M. Campe, thought it best to
comply with the request ; and, in consequence, on the
evening of the 2d inst., M. Campe was set at liberty,
without any further restrictions, on proof being rendered
of his holding freehold property.
The arbitrary conduct of the senate in this matter has,
however, aroused among the citizens a spirit of great
hostility towards the senate, and the whole body of free•
holders are now determined to bring the matter of their
individual and collective rights before the Government.
With the exception of the Russo-Prussian party here, all
classes of citizens are loud in their praise of M. Campo,
for his firm and manly conduct in opposing the ex-
tremely vindictive course of the police senator, in par-
ticular, in attempting to trample upon the rights of an
individual citizen to favour Prussian despotism.
"The whole offence committed by M. Campe consists
in his having published a verdict passed in the judicial
courts of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, in a case of seduction
brought against Prince William by the relatives of a
young girl, with whom he pretended to contract a mor-
ganatic marriage, such as are usually adopted by royal
personages, and whom he subsequently deserted. It
was discovered that the ceremony was performed by
persons employed for the occasion to answer the prince's
purposes, under false colours. Should the matter be
brought before the civil courts of justice here, by which
M. Campe has demanded to be tried for the supposed
libel, it will be the means of causing some curious reve-
lations.
All Germany is anxiously awaiting the issue, and great
is the interest manifested on all sides, according to the
public papers of this day.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)

•
Mary M`Nci//, 25, was indicted for the wilful murder
of George M`Neill, her son, a child four years old.
There was a second indictment against the prisoner
charging her with the murder of another child.
The prisoner, who appeared in a very weak state of
mind and body, was seated during the trial.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk conducted the prosecution.
The prisoner was defended by Mr. Ballautine.
The circumstances c f this case were of a most distress.
ing nature, and the learned counsel for the prosecution
admitted in his opening address that there was little doubt
that the prisoner was in a state of insanity at the time the
dreadful acts were committed. It appeared that the pri-
soner lived at Shoreditch, and was in very good circum-
stances. She bad three children, and after the birth of
her last child in September, 1855, she suffered from milk
fever, and was in a very low and desponding state, and
appeared to be under the delusion that she was in a
distressed state, that her children had no clothes to wear,
and that they would come to misery. She attempted
some act of violence to one of her children a short time
before the dreadful occurrence, in consequence of which
the child was sent into the country, but the two un-
happy deceased children remained with her, and during
the night of the 29th November she destroyed both of
them by cutting their throats. She at once admitted
that she had committed the act, and a razor which she
had used, and which she had taken from the room of
one of the lodgers, was found in the room.
Mr. Gibson, the surgeon of the goal, stated that from
what he had seen of the prisoner be had no doubt that
she was insane at the time the act was committed, and
evidence was adduced to show that her father was con-
fined in a lunatic asylum as an incurable lunatic.
The jury acquitted the prisoner, on the ground of
insanity, and she was ordered to be detained during her
Majesty's pleasure.

The business of this court commenced at an early

of the court, the whole of the charges had been gone
through and disposed of. Would it not be more con-
venient for a certain hour to be fixed for commencing
the business, and in no case depart-d from Why
should not the City Aldermen sit at 10 o'clock in the
morning (instead of 12 o'clock as now), the same as the
stipendiary magistrates of the metropolitan police
courts?

THE CRIMEA.

Tha following letter from Kamiesh, in the
&map/core of Marseilles, gives some idea of the
price of articles of food in the allied camp :
" The wines of France aro abundant ; and the sales
made in the course of the present month have been at
from 11a to 115 f. the piece, according to quality. Our
present depot being about 25,000 casks, and various
vessels being expected from Marseilles, Cette, and
Toulon with more, a new decline in price is to be ex-
pected. This week, several sales of Cognac in casks
and cases have been made ; one was of 400 casks at
If. 55c. the litre, and another of 200 cases at 20f. the
case of 12 bottles. The stock of brandy is so abundant
that no rise in prices is likely. Rum is sold accord-
ing to quality, ai from lf. 30c. to if. 50c. the litre.
Absinthe and Vermouth arm very abundant, and
not in demand. Bordeaux wee in cases of 12 bottles
is from 15f. to 24f., according to quality ; champagne,
from 36f. to 42f.; and curagoa and other liqueurs are
abundant. Flour is at from 100 f. to 115 f. the sack
of 122 kilos. Gruyere cheese is offered at lf. 75c. the
kilo.; sausages at sf. the kilo.; white beans and fine
potatoes, 701. the 100 kilos. ; wax candles, lf. 703. to
If. 80c. the lb.; tallow candles, 20f. the case of 10 kilos.;

A STRANGE STORY.

We learn from Capt. Meyer, late of the schooner Fal-
mouth, who arrived yesterday from San Quintin, in the
schooner Frances Helen, the following account Of a mu-
tiny that occurred in the Gulf of California at a recent
date :—" The schooner Waterwitch, Captain Young,
sailed from this port some time since, with an assorted
cargo, for Colorado River, having on board the owners,
Messrs. Ames and Elliot. She proceeded up the Gulf of
California about 200 miles, where it seems there is a
barren and uninhabited island. While off that place
Capt. Young remarked to the owners of the vessel that
there existed a large marble quarry at that place,
and proposed landing to examine it. Mr. Ames as-
sented, and, together with the captain and mate, accom-
panied by a large Newfoundland dog, proceeded to the
shore. The moment his companions left the boat Cap-
tain Young shoved off, leaving them, and returned to his
vessel and put off to sea. Elliot, who was still on board,
expostulated with the captain, when the latter drew his
pistol and commanded silence ; but, after some persua-
sion, Captain Young seemingly consented to return to
the island and leave some provisions for those left be-
hind. For this pretence he went ashore, taking Mr.
Elliot along with him ; but when the latter got on shore
the captain shoved off the boat and left him, as he sup-
posed, with the others. The former persons, however,
on the departure of the vessel, had killed the dog, and,
cutting his skin in strips, constructed a raft on which
they embarked for the shore, some 15 miles distant, which
they reached in safety. In the meantime, Capt. Young
had shaped his course up the gulf, having for his crew
one sailor and an Indian boy. The latter, overhearing
the two former in conversation, learnt they intended to
cut his throat and throw him overboard, and proceed to
Mulajoha Bay, where Capt. Young intended to sell the
vessel and cargo. After hearing this he quietly stripped
off his clothes and dropped overboard and swam for the
f aro raltaa fiiii+gtnt whieth be-reaohed in safety
By this time Ames and his companions had reamed
Mulajoha Bay, when they gave notice to the officers of
the place. Soon after the schooner hove in sight, and
Captain -young landed, armed to the teeth, little dream-
ing that the news' of his operations was in advance of
him. As soon as be landed he and his companion were
arrested and put in prison. They are now on their way
for this port on board the schooner Kate Hill, Captain
Parker. As soon as they found Mr. Elliott was on the
island, a boat was sent for him, and he was fortunately
rescued from his perilous position. The Indian boy
had also arrived at that place, having suffered consider.
ably on his way."—San Francisco Herald.

LATEST NEWS.

THE COUNCIL OF WAR IN PARIS.
DOVER, WEDNESDAY, 11.10 A.M.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
General Airey, and Admiral Lyons arrived at
Dover by the boat train, at 10.40 a.m. this morn-
ing, and immediately sailed for Calais, en route for
Paris, in her Majesty's steamer Vivid. The usual'
honours were shown.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 9.

The Moniteur publishes a despatch from
Marshall Pelissier, of the 18th of December, an-
nouncing that the volunteers of General d'Aute-
marre attempted a coup de main against the
Russians, on the night of the 26th of December.

It resulted in 18 Russians killed and 18 made
prisoners, and 20 Cossacks and 30 muskets cap-
tured.

VIENNA, TUESDAY EvENING.

Advices from Constantinople :of the 31st of
December announce that a committee has been
formed for investigating the Kars affair.

THE CZAR'S ANSWER.

VIENNA, TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. 8.

Count Stackelberg, who brings a reply to the
propositions of the Allies, left St. Petersburg
yesterday.

Our letters, brought by the Euphrate, dated
Sebastopol, Dec. 25, state that the Russians were
firing with redoubled activity on the men em-
ployed in preparing the explosion of the docks
at Sebastopol.

Other batteries of fae enemy, which could not
reach the French heal-quarters, fired more spar-

in gly.

CONSTA NT INOPLE, DEC. 31.

M. Thouvenel has presented to the Sultan the
Star in diamonds, together with the other insignia,
of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour.

On this occasion tLe French Ambassador deli-
vered a speech, in which he showed the strong
evidence, afforded by so striking a manifestation,
of the sentiments of the Emperor of the French
in favour of the alliance which has placad Tur-
key under the protection of European law and of
civilisation.

To this speech tho Sultan replied with much

fervour.
The Prussian Government has conferred deco-
rations on two Ottoman Ministers.
The Greek Government has signed, with the
Porte, a treaty for the suppression of brigandage.

THE WAR IN ASIA.
ERZEROUM, DEc. 12.

The Russian army took up its position at Kars
last Monday, the 3d of December. The troops
have been quartered in the town, and a small di-
vision of about 2,000 men, consisting of Cossacks
and Irregular Kurds, has been left at Sohanly
Dagh, where it occupies the fortifications erected
in the month of June last by General Mouravieff.
Yeni Keni, a village some fifty-four miles from
Erzeronm, on the road to Kars, is likewise occu-
pied by the Russians, who have collected there
large stores of wheat, flour, and barley.
It appears that the Russian general is apprehen-
sive of 6'elim Pacha's coming to attack Kars, for
he has concentrated all his forces at that spot, and
has left at Alexandropol only a weak garrison,
hardly strong enou;h to do the duties of the citadel.

The Turkish forces, under the orders of Selim
Pacha, are still eicamped in the mountains of
Deveh Boynou. There is no fear of the enemy's
attempting now a coup de main against Erzeroum :
the exhaustion of his troops and the state of the
roads forbid it.

'FIE "CHEAP" PRESS.

Those who dreaded a press, which they found
to be particularly inimical to their own narrow-
minded and imperfect views, have done their ut-
most this year to supplant it by another. "Let
the people be instructed," cried these reformers,
whose only real grievance was that the people knew
already too much. Well, they have set up what they
call their "cheap" press, meaning a low-priced one.
Its only possible pretension to cheapness is in its dis-
honesty. What it steals is doubless very good, seeing
that it walks into the market and takes what it
pleases. But theft is so hurried a process that it is
apt to spoil the article in the very act of robbery,
and curiously certain to misapply it ; and it is
most amusing to find the despisers of stale news,
who cried out against a paper a day old, quite re•
conciled to the delay employed in transferring the
news of yesterday to the " cheap" paper of to-day,
Journal has the date of to-
day v
nide dits The cheap papers, however,
provided
tl ‘e‘-pchageaep.
must discover some hitherto untried means to exist.
Read only what comes out iu the shape of authen-
tic fact. Read the account of an action brought
against one journal by an- editor engaged at a most
miserable salary, and obliged to appeal for damages
on a breach of contract even to get some recom-
pense in lieu of what he was promised. Read the
account of the auction to which one of these
valuable properties was brought, where there was
one bidding of 1001., at which the prize was knocked
down to a ci-derant reporter on the paper itself,
who, poor fellow, could not find the 101. deposit to
handsel his bargain. No great loss—for the weak-
ling died next day. We are not jeering at poverty,
it is our right to ask of our reformers whether this
is the enginery with which they intend to supplant
the established and trusted organs of public
opinion ? Where are the unheard of instructors
that were to teach us unknown political lore ? Alas,
unheard of still, and as with the "coming men" so
with the coming matter, that is not forthcoming.
Institutions that nobly answer their purpose (and
the British press has been one of them) are embedded
in deeper foundations than sciolism can guess at.
Their walls are cemented, not shaken by time; they
are built to resist storm. Habit, in which:there is
no reproach, confirms the trust in them and the
liking for them more and more ; they are part and
parcel of the daily life—needs, not merely blame-
less but instinctive, for its happiest and worthiest
purpose. Men leave their native country, and re-
joice over scarcely any renewal of its memories so
much as the old-accustomed newspaper, champion
as well as teacher of what they most regarded.
And while such a journal rem4tins true to itself and
its most honourable office, the advocates of mere
change for change sake, or rather for their own
sake, might as well suggest new parents and fami-
lies to the mass of mankind as any substitute for
the public friendship existing between long-tried
journalism and its accustomed associates.— Weekly

TIN SOUND DllES.—Liverpool, Monday.—The nun•
cil of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce have received
a communication from the Earl of Clarendon (which
was read at the meeting to-day), to the effect that
the subject of the abolition of the Sound Dues was now
occupying the attention of her Majesty's Government.
Doubtless the question, which excites a great deal of in-
teres=t in Liverpool, will be folly discussed at the annual
!. meeting of the Chamber, which is to be held in February,
by which time more definite information as to the action
of the Legielature will lave been obtained.
