Irobreet Ma-eslt; 18, and Jonathan Reed, 20, militiamen,
were indicted for baying stolen four communion cups, of
the value of 121., the property of Timothy Edward Le
Bean, in his dwelling-house.
Mr. -Poland prosecuted, and Mr. Horry appeared fer
the prisobers.
The prosecutor, a coal merchant at Hackney, was one
of the trustees of a chapel there, in which capacity be had
charge of the communion cups. The prisoner Reed was
the pew-opener of the chapel, and as such had access to
where the.'cups were kept, and on the Ist of March four
were missed. From information reosived, a polioe-con.
stable went to the head-quarters of the militia at Hemp-
stead_and took Marsh into custody. When the constable
told hint that he was charged with being concerned in
stealing communion cups from Hackney, he said he ht 4
been led into it, and inquired what punishment was pro.
babie to f How. It appeared that one cf the cups, Bat.
tencd, was purchased by a watchmaker, named England,
in Britannia-street, Gray's-inn-road, as old silver, foe
.11. 15s. 7d of a young man whom he had not since
seen, and he took it to Benham's, formerly Sirrell's," in
B .rbican, but Mr. Benham declined to purchase it, as he
was satisfied in his own mind that it had not been ho-
nestly-Come by. England t3ok it home, melted itdown,
and then sold it at Benham's for 1/. 17s. 9d. The prison-
ers made eta ements implicating each other in the theft.
The jury found them guilty, and a former conviction
was proved against Marih.
The Assistant Judge said it would be as well if Mr.
England were more cautious for the future in buying
silver articles in the way be had this cup, which bad evi-
dently been battered up for tbe purpose of destroying
its identity. Had he used but ordinary observation, he
would have come to the same conclusion as Mr. Benham
that a sacramental chalice 83 broken up was in all pro.
bability the proceeds of a robbery. Were it not that
such facility was ail-riled for the disposal of stolen pro-
perty, the inducement to steal would be greatly the less,
and he would repeat his caution to Mr. England in this
case.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.
ENNIS ELECtION.

The Attorney-General was re-elected to-day
without opposition.

THE PACIFIC STEAMER.
The Evening Yost publishes the' following im-
portant communication received this day from
Galway Foundry and Ironworks, Merchant-road,
and New Docks :

" Galway, April 7. -
" Sir,—l beg to acquaint you that her Majesty's
steamer Tartar, 24 guns, which bad been sent by
Government on the 29th ult. in search of the ill-
fated steamer Pacific, arrive& here last evening
without obtaining any information of the missing
ship, although the Tartar proceeded as far as 25
deg. west and about 55 deg. north latitude.
" On the 29th ult. she met the American ship
Joseph Badger in great distress with four feet of
water in the hold, bound to London from Calcutta,
and supplied her with provisions and an officer and
eight men to assist in navigating her, as all hands
were quite exhausted pumping. She met two other
ships, but got no information. The Tartar, being
one of the fastest screw propellers in her Majesty's
navy, having Made all speed to the 'nearest point
on the west coast of Ireland, to communicate with
the Lords of the Admiralty, is another proof that
Galway stands predominantly 'before any other
port for the transmission of the mails to America.
_ ‘.‘ I remain, Sir,
" Your most obedient servant,
" JAMES STEPHENS.

Eaglmd Laid he certainly was sorry, but he was thrown
off his guard at the time by the apparent respectability
and the manners of the young man he bought the cup of.
The Assistant-Judge—You are a man of respecta'lle
appearance ; but notwithttaucling that,Mr.-Benharn re.
fused to buy the bap of you, under the circumstances.
Y.,u then melt it down and sell it in the lamp. It is to
be hoped that you will not incur the risk of such conduct
again.
The foreman of the jury said they wished to express
their concurrence in the observations which his lordship
hal addressed to the witness.

"MONDAY EVENING, '6 o'CEocK.—A second war
steamer has just anchored close to the Tartar.
The Desperate was the second sent in search of the
Pacific."

Martl was sentenced to four years' penal servitude ;
Reed to one year's bard labour.
As he was being removed, Marsh said, "Thank you,
my lord ; I hope that four years will sake a man of use;
but I'm not innocent of this—Oh, I beg pardon, I mean
I'm not guilty this time." (A. laugh.)

FURTHER FORGERIES BY JOHN SADLEIR.
The subjoined important statement also appears
in the Evening Post :
"Yesterday afternoon a London solicitor ap-
peared in the Registry-office with a carpet bag
containing a number of deeds, in order that it
should be ascertained whether they had been re-
gistered in accordance with certificates of registry
which he produced. The deeds purported to be
conveyances of the estates sold in the Encumbered
Estates Court to John Sadleir and the certificates
of registry, which were numbered, mentioned
books in which the memorials of the deeds were
entered. One of the certificates, dated in 1852,
bore the signature of the late Mr. Walter Glas-
cock, who died before the establishment of the
Encumbered Estates Court. The other certificates
purported to be in the handwriting of Mr. Chap-
man, First Assistant-Registrar, and to be signed
by that gentleman.
On examination by Mr. Morgan O'Connell,
Principal of the Registry-office, and his assistants,
it was found that no such books were in existence,
and that all the deeds but one, and the entire of
the certificates, were forgeries. The deeds of con.
veyauce, five iu number (some of which contained
maps of the properties), bore the signatures of two
of the commissioners—Dr. -Longfield and Mr.
Hargreave. Tme forgery of the signature of Mr.
Chapman was exceedingly well executed.
" The deed that was not forged had been origi-
nally a conveyance of a small property purchased
for 20001., but the amount was changed to 5,000/. ;
the total amount of the consideration money on
the five conveyances was 44,000/. ; the sum lent
upon those securities was 16,0001. ; the lenders,
of course, have been defrauded, like so many others
in the gigantic and unprecedented swindles per-
petrated by John Sadleir."
