MANSION 110 USE.

STEALING A GOLD WATCH.—Joseph Cole, remanded
for stealing a gold watch, value 71., from the person of
a young man named Henry Martin, on the Custom-house
Quay, was again placed at the bar before Sir W. Car•
den for further examination.

The particulars of the case were published at the time

in The Sun.

Police-constable 581 said he had made inquires at va-
rious pawn shops, but he had been unable to trace the
watch. He did not expect to find it. The prisoner,
when apprehended, gave a wrong address.
_ _

Police-constable 129 stated that he bad the prisoner
in charge in 1853, for robbing a lady of her purse, for
which offence he was sent to Holloway for three months.
He then gave a false address.
The prisoner assured the alderman he was innocent of
this charge, as he was of the one in 1853, and that he
was then sent to prison in mistake.
Sir W. Carden said it was rather extraordinary for an
innocent man to be twice punished. He, however, be-
lieved him guilty of this charge, and againt sent him
to prison for three months.
THE WALPOLE ISLANDERS IN TROUBLE.—Mr. Tele, 6
Eversholt-street, Camden-town, Mr. Hornibrook, of
the London City Mission, and another gentleman, waited
on the Lord Mayor with six of the Walpole Islanders,
who have lately been exhibiting in the metropolis, for
his advice and assistance. The grotesque dressing of
these men caused much attraction, and the justice-room
was densely crowded. The chief of the tribe wore the
medal presented to his father by George 111.
Mr. Tele said that the Indians had been staying with
him for a considerable period, having been brought to
him by the speculator who induced them to come to
this country. He was now owed between 91. and 101.
for their lodging and maintenance, but he was unable
to get it, the speculator not being to be found. The
Indians were, in consequence of the conduct of the
person referred to, in great distress, and for some days he
bad lodged and supported them, for which he should
make no charge. The inhabitants of the neighbour-
hood had been very kind to the Indians. They wished
to be sent home.

In reply to a question from the Lord Mayor, one, o
the Indiana, who, spoke. English, and acted as inter-
preter, said it was their desire to return home to Walpole
I land, which he believed was a British possession.
There were 6 men and 4 women.

Mr. Hornibrook said be believed they could be taken
to New York for about 6/. each.
Mr. Tele said the men and women were still at his
house, which was not a common lodgini.house, and he
could not afford to continue to support them.

The Lord Mayor—How much do they cost a day /

Mr. Tele—From 18s. to 203.

The Lord Mayor said the men and women were in a
sad state. There was the union for them so long as they
remained in the country. He would, however, see what
could be done for sending them to their homes, and, he
thought the best way to do it was by an appeal to the
public. It was too bad a speculation, when they found
an exhibition did not answer, to leave individuals, as in
this instance, destitute.

After some further remarks, arrangements were made
for their temporazy relief.

CUTTING IN Two AND LENGTHENING FRIGATES.
Orders have been received at the Royal Dockyard at
Peuraoke for the cutting in two and lengthening of the
first-class frigates Inamortalite and Melpomene. These
two frigates have been on the stocks for a considerable
time, and are nearly completed ; but being sailing fri-
gates the Admiralty have kept them back for altera-
tions, which will be immediately carried out. They are
to be lengthened 52 teet—viz., by insertion of 32 feet 6
niches amidships, 13 feet to the stern, and 5 feet 6
inches t 3 the bows, to improve the entrance. This will
give a total of 240 feet, and will enable them to be
fitted with the screw-propeller. Both these are 60-gun
frigates, and their increased length will enable them to
carry heavier metal.
DEATH OF ONE OF THE RUSSIAN HEROES OF SEBAS.
TOPOL.—Admiral Surcow, of the Russian navy, has just
expired at St. Petersburg, from the effects of his wounds.
It was this officer who, at the siege of Sebastopol, with
Col. Narew, directed the construction of the bridge of
wood, 800 yards long, that crossed the harbour,. and
enabled the Russian army to evacuate the place after
the Malakhoff Tower was carried on the Bth December.
MURDER OF TWO YOUNG WOMEN YESTERDAY.—The
following telegraphic message, dated Sunday, from Mr.
Hart, magistrates' clerk, at Folkestone, was received
last night at the Home Office:—" Absconded, this morn-
ing, from Folkestone, Teder Redenies, of the 2d Regi-
ment of the British Foreign Legion, charged with mur-

instant from Parma, in which it is said that General
Paurngarten is to take the command of the Austrian
troops in the duchy instead of General Count
