THE ELECTRIC TELEC,RAPH IN AIISTRALIA.—Att eke
trio telegraph is expected to be completed shorty
between Adelaide and Melbourne. A great project has
also been mooted at the latter place, by some private in-
dividuals, for securing telegraphic communication with
Lend 'n.
DEPARTURE OY JAMEII SPOLLEN.—James Spollen,
whose name will be for ever associated with the brutal
murder of Mr. Little, has at length takes his departure
for a distant part of the globe. His arrival in Liverpool
some weeks ago was noticed in our columns. For a
short time curiosity to see so notorious an individual
induced many persons to visit him, and by exhibiting
himself to anxious spectators, he raised a little money.
Gradually, however, all interest in him ceased, and he
was reduced to extreme poverty. His manners were
not at all pleasing, and the suspicious, guarded, and
prevaricating way in which he alluded to the Broad.tone
tragedy gave those who conversed with him a very tin.
favourable impression of his character. At last, how-
ever, means were obtained to provide a passage for him
and his son James, a youth about 17 or 18 years of age,
and within the last few days they have taken their
departure from this port. During his stay in Livet
pool, Spollen was a frequent visitor at the Phre-
nological Institution, Mount-pleasant. Mr. Frederick
Bridges had about thirty interviews with him, averag.
in;; tl rue hours each, and at last succeeded in
obtaining not only a photographic likeness, but
a cast of his head. We understand that Mr. Bridges
took notes of what passed at each interview, and it is
his inten•ion to publish these notes, phrenologically con-
sidered, and illustrated by four woodcuts of Spollen's
head and an engraving from his photograph likeness.
Previous to his departure Spollen had his whiskers
shaved, hair dyed, and b-ard trimmed, and so complotely
was he disguised that his own son did not at first sight
know him. Of course the passage for father and son
was taken in a fictitious name, and if the two can keep
their own counsel they are likely to arrive in a distant
land without being recognised.—Liverpool Mercury.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

Beforo Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant Judge, at

- Westminster.)

Thomas Jones and John Jones, brothers, one a
commercial traveller and the other a clerk, who,
pleaded guilty at the last session at Clerkenwell, to
a charge of-assault ou the police, in which affray
one of the policemen was ruptured, were brought
up to receive the judgment of the court.
Mr. Le Breton made an earnest appeal on their
behalf, stating that these young men had already
been in prison for three weeks, and that their em-
ployers were quite ready to take them back into
their service as soon as they were discharged.
The Assistant Judge, in giving judgment, said
that assaults on police officers could not be lightly
passed over, and sentenced them to four months'
imprisonment, reckoning from the Ist day of last
session, on the 4th inst.'

James Mackender, 38, coachman, was indicted for
stealing two 60/. bank notes, and three 101. bank
note;, the property of T. A. Gladstone, his master.
Mr. Sleigh prosecuted ; the prisoner was unde-
fended. _

Mr. T. A., Gladstone, of the Manor-house, Gun-
nersbury, said the prisoner had been in his service
for seven weeks as coachman, and on Monday, Deo.
21, he went with him to Aldridge's commission
stables, where he saw a pair of horses belonging
to a r. Fichling. On Wednesday, the 23d of
that month, he gave the prisoner bank notes to the
amount of 1301., and directed him to attend a sale
at the repository, and to bid for the horses, but
not to go beyond 1301. He did not return, and he
never saw him until he was taken into custody.
John Fichling, livery stable-keeper, of Norfolk-
yard, Bayswater, said he bad a pair of horses for
sale at Aldridge's repository, the same which had
previously been seen by Mr. Gladstone. Witness
bought the horses at the reserved price he had
put upon them. He saw the prisoner at the
sale, but he made no bid for the horses. After the
sale the prisoner made him an offer in St. Martin's-
lane of 1301. for the horses, but he declined to take
less than 1351. for them, which the prisoner agreed
to give, upon the understanding that if his master
did not approve of them the bargain was to be void.
Witness then asked him for 1301., but the prisoner
said he would give it to him at his (witness's) place
at night, as he should like to see the horses go, and
would ride behind them, but he did not see him
again until he was in custody.
Frederick Poole, police-constable, 300 A, said
he apprehended the prisoner at a public-house in
Castle-street, Leicester-square. He told him the
charge against him was for stealing 1301., the pro-
perty of his master, to which he impudently replied
that he bad only "stepped it" with the money his
master had given him to purchase horses. Upon
being searched, two 101. notes and two Si. notes,
191. 10s. in gold, and 7.. in silver, were found in
his possession. He said he had been robbed of
501. at Massey's, in Cranbounae-passage, and could
not account for the rest, as he had got drunk and
knew nothing about it.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he went to
Massey's, where he got drunk and lost the money.
The jury found him guilty.
Mr. Pashley sentenced the prisoner to be kept in
penal servitude for three years.
William Keen, 23, described as a bookseller, was
indicted for stealing the sum of 9s. 6d., the moneys
of John Cox and others, his master 4.

Mr. J. P. Doyle prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh ap-
peared for the prisoner.
The prisoner was in the employ of Messrs. Cox,
printers, of Great Queen-street, and proprietors of
the Builder. He was engaged at the office of that
publication in Wellington-street, Strand, and was
entrusted with the paying and receiving money. As
various sums were missed from time to time, sus-

picion rested upon him, and wi, h a view af testis g
him some money was marked in the presence of a
~...

policeman and Put into the till. Shortly after the
prisoner was left alone in the office, and on the
publisher, Mr. Lawrence, returning and looking
into the till, some of the marked money was missed,
which was afterwards found in the prisoner's pos-
session.

To-day, by the advice of the counsel, the prisoner
pleaded guilty.
Mr. Sleigh addressed the court, and said that the
prisoner had been for ten years in the employ of
Messrs. Cox, the proprietors of the Builder, and in
consideration of his long services the prosecutors
were inclined to believe that he had forgotten him-
self in a moment of temptation, but had done all
that he could to make atonement by pleading guilty
to the charge now before the court. Under these
circumstances he hoped the court would pass a_sen-
tence for the shortest amount of imprisonment that
would meet the case, as the prisoner was a married
man with a family, which rendered the result of it
more melancholy.
Mr. Doyle said, on the part of the prosecutors,
he had to state that it was their desire to leave the
matter in their lordships' hands as it stood in the
depositions, but at the same time the prosecutors
were anxious to recommend the prisoner to merci-
ful consideration.
Mr. Lawrence, the publisher of the Builder, was
called ; and, in answer to questions from the As.
istant-Judge, said that the total amount of money
which had been missed was 4501., and no suspicion
rested upon any one but the prisoner.
• Mr. Doyle said there was no suspicion whatever
of any one but the prisoner, but in justice to his
learned friend Mr. Sleigh, he would state that
when the prosecutors recommended the prisoner to
mercy, they did so with a full knowledge of all the
facts now mentioned by Mr. Lawrence.
Mr. Pashley, after a suitable admonition, sen-
tenced the prisoner to be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for eight months.
John Hunt, 18, pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with having stolen a gold watch,
value 301., the property of David Young, from his
person.
Evidence was given that he had only just been
released from prison for a similar offence.
Mr. Pashley sentenced him to be kept in penal
servitude for five,years.
