GLARE'S 'BON SHIPBUILDING.

Sonte new principles to be applied in the con-
struction
it is anticipated that the full measure of advantage
will be realised from their employment in long
lines of navigation, are laid down in apatent granted),
to theirinventor, Mr. John Clare, jun., of Liverpool,
and are admirably illustrated in a model of a vessel
on the new construction, which is now attracting
considerable attention among shipowners and
others at Lloyd's Register Office, White Lion-
court, Cornhill. Mr. Clare proposes to construct
large iron steam ships in a manner analagous to the
Great Eastern, but, to avoid some disadvantages
which he conceives to arise from the form, arrange-
ment, and connection of certain parts of that vessel.
As in the Great Eastern, he proposes to have an
inner and an out shell, each formed of wrought
iron plates, but these are to be kept apart by longi-
tudinal ribs of 13 iron, at the distance of 9in. in-
stead of 2ft. 10in. So large an interval between
the inner and outer shells of the ship very consider.-
ably reduces her capacity for tonnage for the sake
of gaining in buoyancy—a sacrifice which he deems
to be unnecessary. By overlapping the plates on
the flanges of the H metal, riveting through four
thickeesses, and introducing a system of diagonal
trussing in all the cells of the side, a structure of
such immense strength will be produced that in the
strongest sea-way it is expected that it would act
as if the whole ship were made in one single piece.
The strength of the fabric will be still further pro-
moted by the ordinary sectional bulk-heads, all of
which are of the firmest construction, and stiffened
by flanges of T iron. With regard to the form of
the hull, Mr. Clare aims at reducing the resistance
of the water to a minimum. In vessels of the beat
construction no wave ought to be moved forward
under the bows, as a portion of the moving force
is necessarily expended, upon it, and Mr. Clare con-
ceives it to be quite possible to; prevent this incon-
venience, by giviog a sufficient hollow to the sides
to form a channel, by which the water that would
otherwise be gathered up, and carried forward with
the ship, is allowed to flow aft. Having got past the
greatest section, the run receives such a form as en-
ables it to direct the steam upon the rudder more per-
pendicularly, whereby a greater directing power is
given to the wheel. The principle upon which Mr.
Clare determines the thwart sections of the bows
is, that they should be circular arcs, or radii gra-
dually decreasing from the stem, and having their
convexities turned towards midships. By this ar-
rangement he expects, that when the maximum
point of resistance between the load-water line and
the light-water line would be oblakined, under ordi-
nary circumstances, a vessel on his principle would
not be retarded by the cause against which it pro-
vides. Mr. Clare adds a strong keel, of simple
construction, to the hull, and introduces a system
of floorine, of immense strength, in the lower por-
tions. The bunkers are on either side, and the
coals being taken from them in equal proportions,
the vertical position of the midship sections re-
mained unaltered. The vessel is to be I,oooft long,
70ft broad, and 30ft in depth. These are the prin-
cipal features of Mr. Clare's invention, the value of
which must of course be decided by actual experi-
ment. They have so far, however, obtained the
sanction of nautical architects, and should the ideas
of the inventor be confirmed on trial, it is easy to
see that an immense improvement will have been
wrought in mammoth ship building. The very
least that can be said is, that it is certainly worth
the country's while to try any experiment which
appears at all feasible, and the success of which
would place this great mercantile country in the
closest possible proximity with the remotest por-
tions of the globe. With the experience of the past
before us, it would be perhaps presumptuous to
look for much agsistance on the part of the Govern-
ment ; but when we consider those events on dis-
sta.nt shores which now absorb the minds of all, it
is not to besupposed. that those who hold the reins of
power can altogether turn a deaf ear to proposals
which, if carried out, might enable them to trans
plant an army sound and healthy in condition, with
' all the appliances and provisions of war, within a
space of 30 days, to the banks of the Ganges.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Oct. 16.

(Bofore Mr. Blies, Q.C., at the Guildhall, West-
minster.)

At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr.
Maude, the deputy-clerk of the peace for the county,
stated that Colonel Vaughan, the clerk of the peace
for the City and Liberty of Westminster, had re-
signed that office, and the resignation had been
accepted by the Lord-Lieutenant. The right which
the Middlesex Criminal Justice Act had conferred
upon Colonel Vaughan, as clerk of the peace for
the city of Westminster, of executing the office of
clerk of the peace of the county, when the sessions
were held in Westminster, had ceased in conse-
quence of his resignation, and the whole of the
duties had devolved upon Mr. Heaton Elliq, the
clerk of the peace for the county, whose represen-
tative he (Mr. Maude) was.
This statement was ordered to be entered upon
the minutes of the court.

John Cox was indicted for embezzling the sum
of 1/. received by him on account of his master.
Mr. W. J. Payne prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh ap-
peared for the prisoner.
The prosecutor was Mr. Russell, a piano-forte
manufacturer in Brook-strest, New-road, and the
charge against the prisoner was that he received
161. from a lady named Atherton, on account of a
piano, and represented that he had received but
151. The receipt for the M. in his own handwrit-
ing was produced.

The jury found him guilty, and Mr. Bliss Ben-
eficed him to six months' hard labour.

Thos. Chandler was indicted for stealing a quan-
tity of oats, the property of Michael Robinson.
Mr. Hawthorn prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh de-
fended.

The question in this case was, whether the pri-
soner—who was in the service of the prosecutor, a
farmer, at Heston—secretel a sack of oats in his
waggon with the intention of stealing or for the
purpose of feeding his horses.
Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury in support of the
latter view of the matter, and
The prisoner was acquitted.
Mark Spain, a journeyman butcher, was indicted
for stealing a piece of meat, value ls., the property
of his master, a butcher named named Broom-
bi idge, and John Roberts, a coffee-stall keeper, was
indicted for receiving the same feloniously.
• Mr. Talfourd Salter prosecuted ; Mr. Ribton ap-
peared for Mr. Roberts, instructed by Mr. Gillam.
The evidence made out the case against Spain,
but failed as to Roberts, who was acquitted. Spain
was convicted, and sentenced to two mouths' hard
labour.

(Before Mr. Creasy.)
BROTHEL PROSECUTIONS.

William White was indicted for keeping a brothel,
63, Charlotte-street ; Matilda Birch, the same, 42,
Upper Norton-street; Marie Deveilchien, the same,
15, Norton-street ; Frederick Harrington, the
same, 16, Norton-street ; Rose Raoul, the same,
58, Upper Norton-street (this person was convicted
on a former occasion, and was now brought up for
judgment) ; and William Preston, the same, 60,
Charlotte-street, Portland-place. -Upon conviction
they were sentenced as follows :—Preston (who w
also brought up for judgment, under recognisance,
for a former conviction) to four months, White
to two months, Raoul to five months, Matilda
Birch to one month, Reveilchien to one month, and
Harrington to two months' hard labour.
Abraham Harris and Ann Harris also pleaded
guilty to keepingasimilar house in Leicester-street,
Leicester-square. They entered into recognisaneJs
to appear for judgment on the 2d December.
Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by Mr. Randall, on 13.:-
halt of the authorities of Marylebone, prosecuted
(instructed in the case by Messrs. Allen) ; Mr.
Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Cooper, instructed by
Mr. Humphreys, appeared for the Harrises ; Mr.
Sleigh, by Mr. Lewi', for Preston.
Robert Wilby, Robert Woodman and Neal Wood-
man were indicted for assaulting Joseph Thomp-
son, an officer of the sheriff of Middlesex, in the
execution of his duty.
Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr.
Tindal Atkinson, instructed by Mr. Wakeling, for
the defendants.

There was a cross indictment iu this c se, in
which the prosecutor of the other was charged with
an assault upon the defendant 3. The facts shortly
were these :

Thompson went with a sheriff's warrant to arrest
Wilby, who kept the Mother Shipton public-house
in the Prince of Wales'-road, Camden-town. He
stated that he wont in, when Wilby, whom he had
previously known, and had seen outside the house
just before he went in,, was leaving the bar parlour
by a side door, although Mrs. Wilby and the
younger Woodman, her brother, had said he was
in the country. He produced his warrant, and
followed Wilby—when he waa obstrueted by the
Woodmans, and some females—he was struck, and
his coat torn to rags. He, however, captured
Wilby at a house, a short distance off ; but be was
again assaulted, and Wilby got away, but was
afterwards taken on an escape warrant, and had
since become a bankrupt. For the defence it was
alleged that Thompson, in the first instance, ar-
rested the defendant Woodman, in mistake for
Wilby, although Thompson swore he bad previously
known him personally—that he was really the
aggressor—and used violent and threatening lan-
guage. This Thompson had denied in cross-exami-
nation. After a long investigation, in which evi-
dence was given on both sides, the defendants in
both indictments were acquitted.

Three trusses wero on fire out of 36. At the time
of the fire I saw the prisoner five minutes before in
thr. yard. I ordered the prisoner out of the yard
before the fire began, and from the time I ordered
him off and the fire commencing I never saw any
one else on the premises. I Said I would kick the
prisoner off the steps if he did not leave the yard.
Mrs. Verdon said—l am a_houskeeper, and live
at 46, Middlesex-street. I :emember the day of
the fre. Between half-past three and four I saw
the prisoner p S 3 my kitchen window. When I saw
him was after the cowmen had ordered him out of
the yard. Between the time when the fire em-
rnenced, and the prisoner had been ordered out of
the yard, I saw no ono else but the prisoner on the
premises. No one else had been near the place
except the prisoner and a little girl who went to
feed the fowls, and who screamed as soon as she
got ou'side.
William Wright said—l am a cowman, and work
on the premises in whisk the fire commenced. I
have known the prisoner about the yard. I saw
him on the day in queation, and I said, " Dick,
you must go away, the governor says you must."
The prisoner said, " You Peed not be so bounce-
able, you won't be here long !" I asked him for
what reason, and he said, "That is my business."
At that time the hay in the cowhouse was perfectly
cafe, I having just fed the cattle. A few minutes
aftersards the prisoner came to my window,
knocked and said, " You are wanted." When I
got out of doors the prisoner said, " Thera is a
fie," but did nut say where. He did not go to the
tire that I was aware of. The hay that was burnt
was a portion of 36 trusses that had been had in
that day. The place where the fire was, was at the
back of the whole of the hay, and between the hay
and the wall.

Charlotte Hedges said—l am ten years of age,
and cannot read or write. Ido not go to school.
I do know that it would be wrong of me to tell a
lie. On Tuesday week I remember' seeing some
hay on fira in the cow-shed. I then called Mr.
Harris. I had not been near the hay myself, nor
had I a light or lucifers in the yard. I saw the
prisoner in the yard not a quarter of an hour be-
fore the fire broke out. There was no one else but
the prisoner in the yard from the ttm© the cowman
left until the fira broke out.
Police-constable John Cook, 198 S, said, said—
I took the prisoner into custody on the day of the
fire about five o'clock. I told him he was charged
with setting fire to Mr. Harris's premii,es. He
slid, "It was not me, it could not be me ; I have
not been in the yard all day." On the road to the
station be said, " There were some children in the
yiird. I could not hare set fi•e to the yard for I
have got no lucifers." Just as I was going to search
him at the station he pulled off Ys jacket and waist-
coat, and attempted to tear his waixt-coat up. In his
jacketpocket I found four lucifers. Prisoner said,
"I did not know that I had got them." The
lucifers were perfect, but not very clean. I have
examined the cowshed where the fire was. Part
of the hay burnt was on the wall side of the shed,
and a person must have climbed over the while
trusses to get at this spot. The rest of the hay was
perfectly dry, and had been bought on that day.
Thera can be no doubt that if the fire had not been
at once discovered the shed and dwelling-house
would have been burnt down.
The prisoner in defence said—l know nothing
about the matter. I helped them out with the
hay when the fire was at its highest, and then I
fetched the oil gentleman.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner to the
Central Criminal Court for trial.

---
WORSHIP-STREET.—Mr. Henry Hunt, of
Waltham cross, Ess.x, appeared to a summons, in
which he was charged with unlawfully brought, and
used upon, the Eastern Counties Railway, or a part
thereof; a certain locomotive engine, without hav-
ing first obtained a certificate of approval from the
engineers or other authorised agents of the com-
pany, whereby

- Mr. Tindal Atkinson, instructed by Mr. Hughes,
from the office of Messrs. Crowder and Maynard,
solicitors to the company,
conducted the prosecu-
tion ; and Mr. Robinson appeared as counsel for
the defence.

A number of tvitzesses, consisting of guards,
signal men, and other servants of the company,
proved that between 8 and 9 o'clock on the even-
ing of the Ist inataut a strange engine euddenly
made its appearance on the branch line at Hackney
Wick. It proceeded along the railway, until it
was finally lost sight of at the Barking station. At
each station wrong signals were given by the persons
in charge of the engine, who displayed such entire
ignorance as to the times and other essential
arrangements of the company that it was found
cesiary more than once to shift the engine on to
the sidings for the prevention of a collision with
the regular passenger trains. On its arrival at
I3arking the defendant, who was recognised on the
engine, was questioned by an inspector on duty at
tint placo, to whom he stated that he was about to
work coals on the for which he had obtained
the necessary certificate from the manager and
secretary.

William Pit lan, the locomotive foreman at Strat-
ford, deposed to t conversation which took place
between him and Xi-. Hunt on the morning of the
Ist inst., in:the course of which witness cautioned
him as to the necesity of possessing himself of the
time tables, and other regulations of the company,
to ensure the safe corking of his engine between
the trains, when tl,e defendant replied, "They
must keep out of my way, andnot I out of theirs."

Mr. Hammill expressed his decided opinion that
it was a case for conviction, but as he considered it
to be probable, after the evidence of the engineer,
that the d fenclant had acted under an erroneous
impression that he would be justified in working
his engine upon the railway, he should oxercise his
discretion in reduc.ng the penalty to 5/., together
wi h the costs, which were assessed at 121. 9s. 6d.
The defendant immeliately haaded in a cheque
for the amount.

SOUTHWARK.—Ann Monk, a nurse iu St.
Thomas's Hospital, was brought before Mr. Combe
ehargel with being drunk in one of the wards, and
assaulting James Smith, one of the porters.
The complainant stated that on the previous
afternoou he recnvei information that the prisoner
was drunk in Abraham Wald, and on proceeding
there he saw that she was extremely violent and
attacking one of the patients. Witness went to
remove her, when she snatched up a knife and
swcce she would stab him. He, however, sue-
coaled in taking it from her, and he then gave her
into custody.

In answer to the charga the prisoner slid she
sin got in the ward or.e of the patients insulted
had a drop of something with a friend, and when
her. Smith came up at the time, and in her pag,
sion she pushed against him, but she had no inten-
tion of using the knife.
Mr. Combe asked whether she had been trouble-
some before ?

Sm tb replied in the negative, but her conduct
was exceedingly violent ; besides that, her attack-
ing a patient Wa3 very bad.
Mr. Combe fined her 405., and in default of pay-
ment committed her for a month.

THA.MES.—Emma Middleton, a woman about
25 years of age, and rather good looking, was
brought before Mr. Selfe, charged, on her own
co:ife son, with the wilful murder of a newly-born
child, at Brighton, about seven months ago.
The prisoner appeared greatly agitated, and
sobbed audibly and frequently while the ct.te wa-t
proceeding, and Th-tche, the gaoler of the court,
stood alongside of her during the invest'gaton.
Inspector Griffin, of the K division, slid he took
the prisoner into cuitody that day at 10 o'clock, at
No. 10, Mount-terrac Whitechapel road, in con-
sequence of information, and lead the following
satement to her wh.ch she had previously made to
gent!ernan named Itu.s:ll. :—" H. division,

prisoner stated that she bad been in great agony of
mind ever since, for the eyes of that child were
always looking at her, and exclaimed, Oh God !
lam a murderer, and am undone for ever.'"
Inspector Griffin said, that when he had finished
reading the statement, be asked the prisoner if it
was true, and if she had made that statement! To
which she replied, "I did ; it is all true."
Mr. Selfe—You found her in a house for fallen
females who wish to reform ?
Inspector Griffin—l did, sir.

Dlr. Selfe—Was the prisoner calm and collected
when she said the statement was quite true, and

Mr. William John Russ-311 said he was missionary
agent to the Society for the Rescue of Young
Women and Children. The statement read by the
inspector was made by the prisoner to him. The
prisoner came from the Dover Probationary Asy-
lum to the asylum in Mount-street, three weeks

came to me and asked my advice on the subject of
this young woman's confession.
Mr. Russell—Yes, sir, and you kindly gave me
advice how to act.

Mr. Selfe a'ked the inspector of police if the pri-
soner had given him any further parliculars, or
divulged the name of the gentleman in whose
family she had lived at Brighton ?
Inspector Griffin—No, sir; I asked her the
name of the gentleman in whose service she was,
and the name of the cook who she alleged assisted
in the murder, and she would not tell me, and.
said "I shall not trouble you long in this world,
and I will say no more about it at all." She es=
cla,imu=d s3veral times that she would commit
suicide.

Mr. Selfe asked Mr. Russell if there was reason
to believe that the prisoner was labouring under a
delusion ?

Mr. Russell—l should say not. She was very
ill and feverish when she made the statement to
me, but quite collected.
Inspeotor Griffin said the prisoner compl.ained
of Mr. Russell giving information to the police.•
Mr. Selfe—lte wa3 bound to do it. Let her be
well looked after. I will remand her for a week,
and you will in the meantime commuuicatQ with
the Brighton police.
