NEW COURT.

A clergyman, named living, was iudicted for
keeping au unlicensed lunatic asylum, at Wands-
worth. The defendant, by the advice of his coun-
sel, Mr. Metcalf, pleaded guilty.
It appeared that a lady had been residing in the
house of the defendant for the last eleven years,
but although she was of very eccentric baits it was
not the fact that at that time she was insane, but
very lately she had met with a very severe injury,
which had caused her intellect, which before was
not very strong, entirely to give way, and the fact
had not been intimated.

The learned Judge said he should recd over the
whole of the depositions before he passed any sen-
tence. In the meantime the defendant would be
allowed to enter into his own recoguizauces to come
up for judgment when called upon.

THE CHARGE AGAINST CHIEF CONSTABLE BESWICK.

The trial of Major Bes wick, the chief constable
of Birkenhead, who stood undefended, with forging
a power of attorney for the transfer of £l,OOO
worth of certain stock, with intent to-defraud the
directors of the Bank of England.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the defence
raised was that he had been misled by the misre-
present.itions of a person named Mexted.
The facts have already been fully reported. The
case will not be concluded to-day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SUSPECTED PERSON IN TIIE GARDENS OF A PSLEY
HOUSE.— James Francis King, a young man, described as
a barman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with bein;
found in the gardens at the rear of Apsley House (the
Duke of Wellington's), supposed for the purpose of com-
mitting a felony.

A young man said that soeing the prisoner in the gar-
deLs at the rear of Apsley House at an early hour that
morning he spoke to a constable.

in answer to the magistrate, the witness said the pri-
soner said that he had walked into the gardens, but that
ho must have got over the railings six feet high, sur-
mounted with spikes.

Lambert, 254 A, said that he saw the prisoner in the
gardens—having turned him out of the park twenty
minutes previously--and when ho asked what business he
had there he said it was a drunken freak, but he was quite
sober. The prisoner first said that he lived in Bethnal•
green, but afterwards that he lived in Lisle-street, Leices-
ter-square, but he did not reside at the latter address,
though he had done so 12 months ago.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the prisoner's conduct was full
of suspicion, and he should remand him that inquiries
might be made respecting him.

A LADY CHARGED WITH DRUNKENNESS.—A handsomely
dressed lady, giving the name of Emma Jackson, was

and the driver then lifted her out, but she could not go
away. She was then taken into custody and locked up.
Mr. Arnold—Where does she live ?

her name until this morning, and she refuses to give her
address.

Race Glasses, byVoigthinder, are now ino longer the ex-
clusive luxury of the rich. Since the great demand for
photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has
been afforded for applying mechanical power with the
greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and
most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some
instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now
no dearer than those of the bust French or English makers.
At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of
Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge
their taste in the possession of a veritable VoigtlAnder at
comparatively trilling cost. It is superditoal to say the
quality is as rver matchless.

SOUTH AFRICAN DIAMONDS.

The legal interdict deterred for &time the present holders
from sending to Europe the large diamond, the discovery
of which has caused so much sensation. The diamond
was sent to England in .the steamer Norseman, and has
been insured for £30,000. We have been assured that the
following is a true statement of the finding of the South
African Koh-i-noor. Swartbooy, the finder, who now
lives at Sandfontein, on this side of the Orange River,
was asked to tell all about the finding of the diamond,
and thereupon he, pointing to the opposite bank of
the river, said, " Do you see the hill there, about 300
yards from the river, with the hut on it?" "Yes,"
Swartbooy then rejoined, "That is my hut; I am a
Griqua, and I was living there about two months ago,
when one morning I ran ont of the hut to turn some
goats which were straying, and about 200 yards from the
but, on the ground, I saw a peculiar-looking stone, and
on taking it up I felt convinced that it must be a
diamond, although I had never seen one. I carefully
put it away, and only slimed it to a few mutual friends,
cautioning them not to say anything lest it should
get to Waterboer's ears, who would claim it. Shortly
after, I removed to this (the colonial) side of the river,
and entered the service of my present employer. I told
him I had a diamond, for which I wanted 100 goats or
sheep, but I did not produce the diamond, and nothing
came of my offer after this. I one day gave it to my
nephew and told him to take it to Schalk Niekerk, and
ask him what he would give fur it. I then sold it to
Niekerk for 500 sheep, 10 head of cattle, and a horse."
The above is from the Cape Standard ; but our readers
will have observed that the mail steamer from the Cape
of Good Hope, which lately arrived at Plymouth, brought
the famous diamond to this country. It is believed that
several other diamonds have been found, and the Cape
Argus mentions one for which £1,500 in sovereigns was
offered and refused, but, owing to the royalty claims
already referred to being set up, people were keeping
their discoveries secret. More Australian miners had
arrived to search for gold, but their prospects did not
appear to be encouraging.

THE DECAY OF STONErrORK.

In a paper read eecentlybefore the Civil and Mechanical
Engineers' Society, by Mr. Arthur Pain, C.E., on the
principal building atones used in the metropolis, the author,
after treating fully on all the different sorts of stone as
they came into use chronologically, and illustrating his
paper with a large map skewing the position and distance of
the quarries from the great centre, also a table compiled fry
various sources giving detailed information as to the weights,
description, chemical analysis, prices, and other various
information of each sort of stone, drew the attention of
the society to the remarkable fact that neatly all the prin-
cipal buildings in the neighbourhood of the various
quarries were in an excellent state of preservation, while
structures built out of the district and of the same kind of
stone were more or less in a state of rapid decay. This,
he believed, was owing to the architect, builder,
and stonemason, in the that, case, knowing all about
the stone, and being able to reject the bad, while in the
second instance they often knew nothing of its good
or bad qualities, and the stone was put in without proper
selection. He mentioned, as an instance of the evil of
non-selection, the Houses of Parliament. the consequence
of which was we bad a building fast crumbling to decay;
on the other hand, the Geological Museum, Jermyn-
street, front built of the same stone, is in excellent
preservation, because it was carefully selected. He
did not blame architects, engineers, masters, and work.
men for not knowing more about stone, because
he knew the difficulty of obtaining information.
He considered that the cause of technical education in
that particular and important branch would be greatly
advanced if the heads of the professions of architect, civil
engineer, and the trades connected therewith would
appoint an architect, civil engineer, chymist, geologist,
builder, and practical stonemason, and get the Govern-
ment to make them Royal Commissioners, with the
usual powers, to report on all the principal quarries in
the United Kingdom, and collect specimens, such speci-
mens and report to be placed in the public museums
in every large town throughout the country. Until that
was done he felt convinced that we should continue
to build our public and private structures of good and
bad stone mixed up together, with the same miserable
results.

REPORTERS WANTED.

Authorised reporters are found useful now-a-days.
Important meetings, from which writers for the
press are refused admittance, get so misrepresented
that those present are only too glad to take refuge
by telling the whole truth. Especially has this been
found the case with regard to the meeting of deans
called to reform the cathedral system. Some three
or four reports, purporting to be correct, have
appeared, differing from one another as the sun,
moon, and stars. On some of these reports comments
have been made, and letters to the papers written.
In conrie:;Von with one of these the Archbishop of
York writes :

"With reference to the letter in your impression of
Saturday, signed ' Ancona ' (anagram for A Canon ?'),
allow me to say that the report on which the writer relies
must be very incorrect. It misleads him, among other
things, as to a calculation I am supposed to have made as
to the unanimity of the meeting, and as to an onslaught
that is supposed to have been commenced on canons of
cathedrals. The only step that has been taken is a very
harmless one—that of inviting suggestions as to cathedral
reform from the chapters themselves. It will be for the
advantage of any future meeting, if its proceedings are to
be reported, that it should have the benefit of the presence
of one of your staff, instead of that of au imaginative
amateur."

PORTRAIT OF THE FIRST CONSUL.

His complexion is remarkably sallow ; his coun-
tenance expressive, but stern ; his figure lithe, but
well made ; and his whole person, like the mind
which it contains, singular and remarkable. If
I were compelled to compare him to any one,
I should name Kemble the actor. Though
Bonaparte is less in size, and less handsome than
that respectable performer, yet, in the construction
of the features and the general expression, there is a
strong resemblance. The picture of Bonaparte at
the review, exhibited some time back in Picea filly,
and the bust in Sevres china, which is very com-
mon in Paris, and has probably become equally
so in London, are the best likenesses I have seen.
As to his dress, he wore the grand costume of his
office, that is to say, a scarlet velvet coat, profusely
embroidered with gold. To this ho had added
leather breeches, jockey boots, and a little plain
cocked-hat, the only ornament to which was a
national cockade. His hair, unpowdered, was cut
close to his neck.—Dickens's "All the Year Round.'

Rossini's " Stabat Mater" and a Selection will be

sung by nearly 300 aisle voices, which was so favourably ,
received at the recent performance of "Israel in Egypt"
by this society.

DESTRUC7IVE FlRE.—(7his Day.)

This morning between the hours of one and two
o'clock considerable sensation was created in con-
sequence of the outbreak of a destructive fire, which
nearly resulted in the loss of several lives, which
occurred on the extensive premises of Mr. Tilman,
china and glass warehouse, No. 172, Barnsbury-
road, Islington. The fire was discovered by a girl
waking up her father for a drink of water, when
the flames rushed in at the bed-room door.
Mr and Mrs. Tilman, the child, and servant girl
made for the windows and cried piteously for
help. At this moment James Hodson, conductor
of the fire escape, arrived from Highbury with his
escape, and instantly pitched it against the burn-
ing building and rescued the before mentioned par-
ties amidst the cheers of the bystanders. The
engines from the Essex-road, Farringdon-street,
and Holloway Volunteer Fire Brigade were remark-
ably early in their arrival, and got to work in first-
rate style, with a good supply of water from the
mains of the New River Company, but it was not
extinguished until considerable damage was done.
Cause and insurance is unknown.

THE FF,NIAAS AT CORK.

A Cork correspondent telegraphs that a Fenian demon-
stration took place in tha Atheneaum last night on the occa-
sion of a lecture and recitation being. given. Seditious
poot)y was recited by a person named O'Connor, who
described himself as "an Irishman hoping and trusting
for the day when The significant pause was
received with loud cheers, and the audience stood up
and uncovered while the lecturer recited "Who fears to
spcak of ninety-eight ?" and received the opening line
of "God's curse upon the Saxon" with a vigorous
"Amen." At the close of the proceedings the wholeassembly
tang the Fenian anthem, "God save Ireland." A vote of
thanks to the lecturer was proposed by Mr. 011ahony, a
released Fenian. Some detectives in the room were do-
neunced and threatened.

R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colon!' or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preson-e teeth chat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY IN

WARWICKSHIRE.

A year and a half ago a blacksmith named Richard
Jackson became landlord of the Black Horse public-house
at Atherstone, in Warwickshire. He had not been
in the house many days when one morning he told his
wife that he would go out and see if he could get work
at a colliery in the neighbourhood. He never re-
turned, and great anxiety was, of course, felt as to
his fate. The ponds in the neighbourhood were all dragged
in vain, and no tidings were ever heard of him. Last
Sunday morning, however, his body was discovered
in a pond known as Marston Quarries. The water
in which it had been so long immersed covers an area
of upwards of an acre, and is in some places thirty yards
in depth. The body was found in one of the deepest
parts, and was in a frightful state of decomposition.
In fact, identification would have been impossible had it
not been for the finding of a knife, snuffbox, and pipe,
which the man was known to have possessed, in one of
his pockets, and for the fact of his having had several
fingers cut off, some time prior to his untimely
end, while engaged in chaff-cutting. Upon examina-
tion it was found that a piece of tarred rope, to
which was attached a large iron bend pipe, had been
fastened round his body ; but the rope seems at length to
have broken in two parts, and thus caused the body to rise
to the surface. The remains were removed to a farm-
house in the village, there to await the coroner's inquest,
which was opened on Monday night.

DESTRUC7IFE FlRE.—(7his Day.)

This morning between the hours of one and two
o'clock considerable sensation was created in con-
sequence of the outbreak of a destructive fire, which
nearly resulted in the loss of several lives, which
occurred on the extensive premises of Mr. Tilman,
china and glass warehouse, No. 172, Barnsbury-
road, Islington. The fire was discovered by a girl
waking up her father for a drink of water, when
the flames rushed in at the bed-room door.
Mr and Mrs. Tilman, the child, and servant girl
made for the windows and cried piteously for
help. At this moment James Hodson, conductor
of the fire escape, arrived from Ifighbury with his
escape, and instantly pitched it against the burn-
ing building and rescued the before incw.ioned par-
ties amidst the cheers of the bystanders. The
engines from the Essex-road, Farringdon-street,
and Holloway-Volunteer Fire Brigade were remark-
ably early in their arrival, and got to work in firbt-
rate style, with a good supply of water from the
mains of the New River Company, but it was not
extinguished until considerable damage was done.
Cause and insurance is unknown.

NEW COURT.

A clergyman, named Irving, was indicted for
keeping an unlicensed lunatic asylum, at Wands-
worth. The defendant, by the advice of his coun-
sel, Mr. Metcalf, pleaded guilty.
It appeared that a lady had been residing in the
house of the defendant for the last eleven years,
but although she was of very eccentric habits it was
not the fact that at that time she was insane, but
very ►ately she had met with a very severe inju►y,
which had caused her intellect, which before was
not very strong, entirely to give way, and the fact
had not been intimated.

The learned Judge said he should read over the
whole of the depositions before he passed any sen-
tence. In the meantime the defendant would be
allowed to enter into his own recognizances to come
up for judgment when called upon.

THE CHARGE AGAINST CHIEF CONSTABLE BESWICK.

The trial of Major Buswick, the chief constable
of Birkenhead, who stood undefended, with forging
a power of attorney for the transfer of £4,000
worth of certain stock, with intent to defraud the
directors of the Bank of England.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and the defence
raised was that he had been misled by the misre-
presentations of a person named Mexted.
The facts have already been fully reported. The
case will not be concluied to-day.

POLICE lATELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SUSPECTED PERSON IN THE GARDENS OF APSLEY
HOUSE.— James Francis King, a young man, described as
a barman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being
found in the gardens at the rear of Apsley House (the
Duke of Wellington's), supposed for the purpose of com-
mitting a felony.
A young man said that seeing the prisoner in the gar-
dens at the rear of Apsley House at an early hour that
morning he spoke to a constable.
In answer to the magistrate, the witness said the pri-
soner said that he had walked into the gardens, but that
he must have got over the railings six feet high, sur-
mounted with spikes.

Lambert, 254 A, said that he saw the prisoner in the
gardens—having turned him out of the park twenty
minutes previously--and when he asked what business he
had there he said it was a drunken freak, but he was quite
sober. The prisoner first said that he lived in Bethnal-
green, but afterwards that he lived in Lisle-street, Leices-
ter-square, but he did not reside at the latter address,
though he had done so 12 months ago.
_ _

Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the prisoner's conduct was full
of suspicion, and he should remand him that inquiries
might be made respecting him.
