MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN BY ♦ PICKPOCKET.—
Edward Lloyd, a well-dressed young man, was charged
as follows :--Mr. Henry Wyatt, of the Lord Bolgrave pub-
lic-house, Spur-street, Leicester-square, said that on Satur-
day night, about 11 o'clock, the prisoner came in and called
for a glass of ale, tendering his wife a shilling in payment,
which, suspecting to be bad, he tried, and discovered that
it was so. He then asked the prisoner where he got it, and
he replied in change at another public-house. He called
Poole, 169 C, who advised him to go to the station-house
and see the inspector. A sergeant of the Bow-street divi-
sion came in, and said the prisoner had frequently been in
charge, and he then gave him into custody.
Prisoner said the shilling he received in change at Walker's
corner of Russell-court.

Gordon, 336 A, said he had known th© piisouur for up-
wards of four years as an expert pickpocket, and he had
been in custody about 20 times.

Mr. 't yrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner for a
few days for further inquiry.

THAMES.

FEARFUL CASE OP STABBING.—EmanueI Floras, an
Italian seaman, and Eliza Booty, and Jane Booty, prosti-
tutes, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with
being concerned in a desperate affair on Sunday night, in
Brunswick-street, St. George's-in-the-East, in the course of
which two men, named Thomas Shrewsbury and Charles
West, were stabbed in a frightful manner.
Mr. Dendy, inspector of the H division, said the wounded
men were in a very precarious state. The wound inflicted
on West was about five inches in depth ; he lost a good
deal of blood, and it was feared he would not recover. He
then put in two certificates from Mr. Ruttledge, the house
surgeon of the London Hospital, stating that Shrewsbury
and West had received punctured wounds, Shrewsbury
in the abdomen, and the other in the side. He produced a
sheath knife or dagger stained with blood. It had been
drawn from West's side.

Marshall, a police-sergeant, No. 20 H, said the male
prisoner had used his knife and struck thorn. He also said
that the female prisoners called out, " Pull out your knives
and use them."

Several witnesses were examined, and their evidence left
great doubt as to whether Emanuel Floras stabbed either of
the wounded men. One woman swore that an Italian
seaman, named Antonio, inflicted the wounds and ran
away.

Mr. Yardley, after a long investigation, discharged
Floras, and remanded the other prisoners until Wednesday.

AN ENGLISH STEAMER FOR GARIBALDL—NEW-
uANEN, SATURDAY.—The splendid steam yacht, the Lon-
don, me of the four clipper steamers (the London, the
Paris, the Newhaven, and the Dieppe),
or eight, built some seven
years ago for the London and Brighton Railway
Company, and afterwards purchased by Lord Ward (now
Earl Dudley) and fitted out for the Crimea in the late war,
has lately found a new owner. She has been purchased of
the Steam Navigation Company for £B,OOO, by the agents
of Garibaldi, and having undergone the necessary fitting is
to be employed in the Mediterranean as a despatch boat.
Last night she steamed out of harbour in splendid style,
with the Garibaldian ensign flying at the peak, her desti-
nation being Genoa. Just outside she passed the Lyons
steamer, entering the harbour, and exchanged salutes by
dipping her ensign three times, promptly acknowledged by
the Lyons, whose crew and passengers gave three hearty
cheers. The London has been re-christened, and is now
called the General Garibaldi.

After a short Idiscussion the amendment of Capt. Young
was rejected, and the resolution for the adoption of the re-
port was carried unanimously.
A resolution authorising the payment of the diviclend
mentioned in the report was also carried.
The proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thank
to the chairman.

THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN,

SIR,-A serious interruption to the traffic of this
railway occurred last evening, in consequence of the
breaking of an axle of the engine of the up Scotch
express train.

This accident happened in one of the tunnels near
Hornsey. I am happy to inform you that, although
the carriages were thrown off tho line, none of the.
passengers were hurt.

The up and down trains were both obstructed by
the carriages, and although every exertion was
made to clear the latter, so as to allow other trains
to proceed, it was not accomplished until 4 o'clock
this morning.

I was present at the spot myself, and am there-
fore sure that the utmost endeavours were made to
lessen the detention of the trains.
I trouble you with this, and ask the favour of
its insertion in your edition of this evening, in
the hope that it may serve to prevent the circula-
tion of an exaggerated or incorrect report of the
circumstances.—l am, sir, your faithful servant,
SEYMOUR CLARKE, General Manager.
General Manager's Office, King's-cross
Station, July 28.

About 9.15 p.m. on Saturday the up express train, _
due in London at 9.30 p.m., from Liverpool, Man-
chester, and the north, had proceeded safely on its
journey up to about midway of Tottenham tunnel
(about three-quarters of a mile in length), when from
the breaking of one of the fore axles of the engine
the whole train was thrown completely off the line in
the utmost disorder and confusion. The engine run-
ning against one side of the tunnel brought the train.
to a stand in about two minutes, throwing some of
the carriages on the down rails, and against one
side of the tunnel, while the engine reclined on the
other. The guard's van had its top taken com-
pletely off, and the wheels, axles, and doors
of some of the carriages were much broken, the
whole forming a dead block to both the up and
down lines. The lights in nearly the whole of the
carriages were extenguished by the sudden jerks,
and what with the alarm whistle, the shrieks of
the passengers, and the total darkness for upwards
of 10 minutes, the feelings of the terrified passen-
gers may be better imagined than describped. For-
tunately, however, and most miraculousl3', none of
the passengers were seriously hurt, but were en-
bled to proceed to town by a special tra.in which
was telegraphed for from the Wood-green station,
which is about three-quarters of a mile from where
the accident occurred, and reached King's-cross at
12 o'clock. The guard had his hand rathq., r severely
crushed, which was attended to by a medical gen-
tleman who happened to be in the dawn-train
(which was stopped at Wood-green), •who came
along with several other passengers to render as-
sistance. Had the accident occurred oil t an em-
bankment the whole train must have g( )ne over.
The scene was most frightful, and sue' h as the
horror-stricken passengers will not readil y forget.
