riaß SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9,

got there the prisoner seat three times to see me.
When I first went into him in the room, he said,
" Well, sergeant, shake hands with me," which I
at once did. He called me in a second time, and
again asked me to shake hands, and, as before, I
did so. He called me in a third time and said,
" Well, sergeant, what am I charged with ?" I re-
plied, " With the wilful murder of your wife." As
he was about to speak to me upon the matter I cau-
tioned him, and told him that what he was about to
say I should take down in writing, and might use it
against him. The prisoner then said, " I wish I
was far away in India to kill some of the b--
brutes ; sergeant, I wish for you to take charge of
everything I have got, for I shall want it for coun-
sel to defend me." He then pointed to a workbox,
and told me to take care of his certificate of mar-
riage. On his way to the station-house he asked me
if his wife was dead. I replied, "Yes 1" when he
said, "Ah, it was a bad job -" and when I had again
cautioned him he added, "Well, it cannot be helped
now; it was all done in a minute."
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did you consider the prisoner
was drunk ?
Witness—l should say he was decidedly drunk.
Inspector Langdon, of the N division said—On
Wednesday morning, about ten minutes to one, I
entered the Kingsland police-station. The prisoner,
who was in one of the cells called to me, and said,
" Mr. Langdon, I want to speak to you." I went to
him, and, finding him the worse for liquor, said,
" Davis, you are not a fit state to say anything to
me ; go and lie down, for I decline to listen to you."
About half-past 3 the same morning, after the pri-
soner had been to sleep, he called to me again. When
he began to speak to me I cautioned him as to what
he should say, when he said he was thankful. He
then said that he and his wife had been out all day ;
that he had taken home some work to Peckham ;
and that he and his wife had been very comfortable
together. After he had gone home he went out to get
some beer and rum, and some beef for their suppers ;
and added, "Mr. Langdon, if you go to my house
you will find what I say correct, for I had not
time to drink the beer." He then asked if his wife
was dead, and when I told him she was he ex-
claimed, " Good God ! a better wife never walked
English ground. It was done momentarily, but I
did not do it. I liked her too well to serve her like
that." On their way that morning to the police-
court, in a cab, the prisoner said " Well, it is a very
bad job, but I can assure you that I did not do it."
Mr. Tyrwhitt, this being the whole of the evi-
dence, asked the prisoner if he had anything to
say, at the same time informing him that anything
he might say would be taken down in writing, and
might be used against him at his trial.
The prisoner, who seemed in a very dejected
state, and who had been seated during the exami-
nation of the several witnesses, rose and said, " I
shall reserve my defence for another place."
Mr. Tyrwhitt, in committing ine prisoner to
Newgate for trial for the wilful murder of his wife,
complimented the police upon the way which they
had cautioned the prisoner previous to taking his
statements.
The prisoner, when he was leaving the dock,
turned round with his eyes and asked to be per-
mitted to see his dear child—a request which was
at once acceded to.

duty in the Waterloo-road, when he saw the pri-
soner and another man turn sharply into Herbert's-
buildings. The former was carrying a heavy carpet
bag. Witnes followed him, and having stopped
him he asked him where he got the bag from. He
replied that he met a gentleman in the West-
minster-road, who asked him to carry the bag for
him to the Obelisk in the Blackfriars-road. In
passing along there was an obstruction in the read,
where he missed the gentleman.
Mr. Burchatn told him if such was tho fact he
should have taken the bag to the station-house.
Instead of that he was going in an opposite direc-
tion, and quite away from the Obelisk.
The prisoner said he intended to have taken it to
the station-house, but he thought he would have
his tea first. (Laughter.)
The constable said he believed the prisoner to be
connected with a gang of thieves who dressed them-
selves as porters, and loitered about railways and
hotels, to pick up travellers' luggage, and if he was
remanded no doubt he would be able to obtain fur-
ther evidence.

Mr. Burcham accordingly remanded him until
Monday next.

WANDSWORTH.

A boy named named William Gawthorne, who
has been frequently convicted, was brought before
Mr. Dayman, charged with absconding from a Re-
formatory Asylum with the clothing of the institu-
tion, and embezzling 3s. 6d.
Mr. John Layland, the superintendent of the
Bridge Home Reformatory Asylum in Wandsworth
stated that the prisoner was admitted on the 25th
April last, from Horsemonger-lane Gaol, at the in-
stance of Mr. Puckle, the magistrate, in consequence
of his having been convicted so frequently. The
rules of the institution were explained to him,
namely, that he could leave when he thought pro-
per, but not with the clothes of the asylum. The
prisoner's clothes, which were in a ragged state,
were taken from him, and a suit of clothes belong-
ing to the institution was given to him in their
place. He continued in the asylum until the 28th
of July last, when he absconded with the clothes
of the institution, in the company of another in-
mate. Witness was in town at the time, and his
assistant, not knowing his (the prisoner's) charac-
ter, sent him out with another boy to take some
wood to tradesmen in the town, which had been
ordered. The two never returned, and absconded
With the 3s. 6d. they had received in payment for
the wood. He placed a notice in the " Hue and
Cry" for their apprehension, and the prisoner, who
had since been to Wolverhampton, was appre-
hended on Friday evening last at Stockwell-
green. The prisoner then stated that they had
both sold the clothes of the asylum on the follow-
ing day in Petticoat-lane.'
The prisoner, in defence, said the clothes of the
asylum were not new, and belonged to a boy who
died, and were patched. He also denied taking the
money. The other boy took the money.
The superintendent said the clothes were quite
new, and were taken from the store when he entered.
There was a constable in court to prove at least ten
convictions against the prisoner.
Mr. Dayman said he should remand the prisoner
for the depositions to be taken.

TEE AI3OMINATIONAS
GE. OF A STEERAGE
PASS

We take the following from some " Observations
by a Surgeon on the Disgraceful Treatment of
Emigrants to North America," written for the
purpose of showing that the Passengers Act
Amended, by 18th and 19th Victoria, affords no
protection. The letters appear in Mona's Herald:—
" If there were some summary mode of proceed-
ing for the protection of emigrants, the number of
applicants for redress, and the publicity given to
such applications by means of the press, would
have a most salutary effect in diminishing the vice
and crime in those emigrant ships, which are alike
disgraceful to this country and America. The
editor of The Tablet newspaper (I think) has called
them 'floating hells ;' in one respect they are no-
thing less, for the torments of hell may, in some
degree resemble the sufferings of emigrants ; but
crime is punished in hell, whilst in a North Ameri-
can emigrant ship it flourishes without check or
retribution. No ; take all the stews of Liverpool,
concentrate into a given space the acts and deeds
done in all for one year, and they would scarcely
equal in atrocity the amount of crime committed
in one emigrant ship during a single voyage. The
promiscuous intercourse of the sexes, the breaking
open of trunks and boxes, and rubbing everything
of value ; the ill-treatment of the males ; the starva-
tion from insufficient food, and other evils to which
these poor creatures are subjected, altogether form
a picture like nothing on earth but what it is. I
have been engaged during the worst years of
famine in Ireland ; I have witnessed the deaths of
hundreds from want ; I have seen the inmates
of a workhouse carried by hundreds, weekly,
through its gates, to be thrown, unshrouded and
coffinless, into a pit filled with quick" lime, in
order to make room the sooner for the recep-
tion of others; and, revolting to the feelings as
all this was, it was not so shocking as what
I subsequently witnessed on board the very
first emigrant ship I ever sailed in. In the
former instance, every exertion was made to save
life ; in the latter, to destroy it. When I com-
plained to the master that the passengers .were
dying of want, my answer was, " I'm if I
care. Do you want me to go and cook for them ?"
Being unwilling to injure individuals, I reluctantly
omit, at present, the name of this ship ; but, for the
sake of distinction, I shall class her as No. 1.
"Let us just inquire who are those monsters in
female form who have just been shouting, jse7ing,
and laughing with the sailors, whilst throwing over-
board the body of one who so lately was amongst
them ? Three weeks before, those girls were quiet,
apparently well-conducted, aed some mild-looking,
with faces in which the physiognomist would iu
vain look for indications of the savage depravity
which he now sees depicted there. They were mo-
dest girls—many of them brought up virtuously
and religiously ; strict in the observance of their
religious duties ; their character and conduct above
all suspicion ; but, in a fatal hour, they were in-
d uced to emigrate to America—some from neces-
sity, others, perhaps, from the invitation of rela-
tives who had preceded them, and many feeling
that all exertion in their native home was insufficient
to relieve their parents from the burthen of their
support, with the laudable ambition of achieving
independence, and contributing to the relief arid
comfort of their parents in the decline of life. Some
few, perhape, who, in an unguided moment, had
fallen victims to the snares of the seducer, feeling
that they could no longer conceal their shame, emi-
grated to hide it in another land ; and, taught by
sad experience, might probably have become useful
and exemplary members of society, had they not
had to pass the ordeal of that sink of infamy and
pollution, an American emigrant ship.
"It may be worth pausing here to inquire into
the system adopted to bring about the destruction
of those young women, which is exactly alike in all
the cases I have witnessed. During the first two or
three days passengers are perfectly terrified by the
atrocities and frightful bodily injuries which they
see inflicted around them. They themselves
getting a few drives and knscks and plenty
of curses, they soon perceive that they are
now embsrked on a long and dreary pas-
sage, helpless and unarmed, perfectly at the
mercy of miscreants, whose acts have so frequently
of late been brought before the public by the press
that I need not more particularly describe them.
When night sets in, each passenger retires to rest
with a foreboding mind ; when all is quiet and sup-
posed asleep, a sndden shriek or shrieks are heerl
from a female ! Some gather round her, whilst
others hurry for the medical officer. He arrives,
and finds a girl, generally very young, say about
sixteen or seventeen, lying on the floor of the be-
tween-decks, with pale and terrified countenance
gazing wildly around from face to face ; he interro-
gates those around as to the cause ; they shake
their heads, but are dumb ; he asks the girl her-
self ; she turns her eyes quickly around ; they rest
for one moment on some object, and are as quickly
averted ; she shudders, makes an effort to sit, and
eays she is better ; she turns to look again, and
sees an officer of the ship, who has most officially
attended, lantern in hand, standing a little aside.
The mystery is now perfectly intelligible—at least
to any medical man who has been twice across the
Atlantic with passengers. In all cases inquiries
are useless, because terror has taken possession of
the unfortunate passengers. The next night there
may be a repetition of the same scene and with the
same girl. I have not known it occur oftener than
twice ; but watch that girl ; ask her, during the
day following, the cause of her alarm. She was
frightened, she says.; but at what ? No art can
extract from her an answer, but before one week
has elapse I that girl has become the wort prosti-
tute in the ship ; she is perpetually about the gal-
ley and forecas'le in the midst of the salon.. Ski
has been visited at night, end, not being found a
ready victim, WAS upon the alttrn threatened with
the knife, or thrown overboard if she told. The
threat had its effect on her, and on her c.)mpaniont
around her also. This :cow of atrocious viilauy
occurred in the last ship I sailed in. The girl was
not more ;than between fifteen and sixteen ; and,
although I daily conversed with her for four days
during my visits between-decks, nothing could
induce her to give me the tightest information ;
but a male passenger,. who Wept in a bunk ad-
joining hers, said, 'She is all right now ; v e
k 1.1 all have no more screaming ; It is all right, Do -
tor.' There was no mistaking his manner and mode

of giving this information ; and the poor girl's con-
duct was sufficiently confirmatory of it, for she
became one of the most unblushing prostitutes on
board.

" Others fall easier and quieter victims ; and, at
once, are prime favourites with the men. Their
food is properly cooked, and some choice bits about
the galley are their reward; those more intractable
aro pushed and shoved about ; their food is scanty
and uncooked ; till at last starvation does its work,
and many give in, perhaps relying, in addition, on
promises of marriage wheia they land. The class of
victims may be recognised by their weeping and
prief when the ship arrives at her destination—the
imploring look, the agonising grasp of one of them
plainly shows her soliciting the fulfilment of the
promise ; whilst the leer of the seducer and his
triumphant look as he turns to his companions,
after having assisted her over the side of the ship,
sufficiently shows that he has no intention of fulfil-
ling any such engagement. Sae has no redress ;
she knows she is forsaken ; she sees nothing now
before her but a life of misery and vice ! How
bitterly must that poor, weeping, forlorn young
creature curse in her heart that iniquitous system
which forced her to yield virtue, honour, character,
pe ace of mind—all forfeited to preserve an existence
which is now miserable, indeed. No one green
spot remains on which imagination can base a single
hope. All is one gulf of profligacy and pollution ;
and having once entered the stream, she feels that
she must go wish the current, and add another unit
to that vast multitude which, subjected to the same
ordeal, now disgrace the streets of that magnificent
city, which may be likened unto the whitened se-
pulcre—beautiful without, but within full of vice,
corruption, and profligacy. Th 9 interested in-
difference of some, the criminal connivance of
others in authority, the sure and certain escape
from punishment for crimes committed on board ships
have contributed to swell prostitution to such an
amount es to h we gainedforNe wYork the unenviab'e
notoriety of being the most immoral, abandoned,
ate profligate city in the known world ; and for
this pre-eminence in vice she is deeply indeb:ed to
the defective state of the emigration laws. Were
there a cheap and summary law, frame 1 specially
for the protection of emigrants, such crimes could
net he practised with impunity; but now there is
little or no check upon them. Sometimes, indeed,
redress, if it can be properly so calle3, may be ob-
tained ; and, in illustration, I shall give a case, as
related by the delinquent himself :—The master of
a packetship, belonging to what is called one of the
most respectable firms in Liverpool, and engaged in
the emigration trade, was exhibiting a trayful of
daguerreotypes of females, to amuse two of his com-
panions in the cabin. I may here observe, by the
way, that almost every max er and mate can show
numbers of those likenesses ; and it is with no small
degree of pride that these symbols of depravity are
displayed to their admiring companions, the pos-
zessor of the greatest number being declared the
king among them.' According this title, in its
fullest sense, to the deployed proprietor of the tray
ful, let us select one portrait, of which the following
is the history, in his own words Well, I put all
these through their facings ; but with one I was
afterwards put to a great deal of expense. She be-
came in the family way, and, stopping in New
York, she was always seeking money, which, to
keep her quiet, I gave. Being master of the ship,
I could not escape from her ; but at last getting
tired, Irefueed her supplies. An attorney took
proceedings for her. and altogether it cost me 600
dollars. But I often saw her afterwards as a prosti-
tute, she having taken to the streets for support.'
' Ex uno discs) omnes'—it is the fate of all.
" The above is the master's narrative. Now, let
us hear the second mate of the same ship :—' A re-
spectable girl in the second cabin, and with money,
took my fancy. I made up to her, and had her every
nigh tin my room during the voyage, but had to
promise her marriage before I succeeded. When
we got to pert she used to be down at the ship
every day, annoying me to fulfil my promise, which
as I had a wife already, I could not do ; and, as
I knew the boarding-house master with whom I
recommended her to lodge, I bribed him to get a
man to go into her room and take liberties with her ;
and whilst there, that the boarding-house master
should enter, and appear very angry, and swear he
would tell me. It answered very well ; for, when
she came down to the ship next time, t told her to
go to —• She went away, and I never saw or
heard of her after.' It is very likely that the
ruffian never did hear of her again ; but, under such
circumstances, it is not improbable that the coroner
did. Being merely a cabin passenger home in the
ship to which th's miscreant belonged, I can only
endeavour to imagine the condition of the vesiel
when outward bound with her freight of passen-
gers ; but I should like to see the medical gentle-
man who acted as her surgeon for several voyages
subjected to the alembic of a few interrogations by
such a man as Mr. Roebuck."

IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETINGS.

BIRMINGHAM, ThURSDAY.

The principal and most important meeting of the
quarter was held in the Town Hall to day ; but,
c msidering that the one usually held at Wolver-
hampton on the previous day was, iu consequence
f its be:ng the day of National Humiliation, abau-
iloaed, the attendance was not so numerous as had
been anticipated. Members or representatives of
the leading firms 'of South Staffordshire, East
Worcestershire and Shropshire were present, but
the resolution adopted at the preliminary meeting
held nine days ago—to abide by the prices of the
last quarter—appeared to have rendered unneces-
sary the attendance of parties who might calculate
upon a fall.
But, although the Company in the hall did not
reach more than au average attendance, the busi-
ne-s transacted was understood to be unusually
large. It was represented by the chief houses of
the district that the demand for South Staffordshire
iron for home consumption was remarkably steady,
and one firm in particular was stated to have orders
already in hand for this market, which will occupy
them until Christmas in their execution. The de-
wands from the Loud )n and Liverpool merchants
are decidedly on the increase ; and from all we
heard to- day before the close of the quarterly meeting
at Dudley on Saturday evening, there will be a still
further improvement in those markets. It is unne-
cessary to state that the leading orders for rails go ge-
nerally to Wales; thoseforsheetsinto Scotland, while
those for manufactured iron required for shipbuild-
ing and other purposes of common use are brought
generally in to Staffordshire.
'lt was stated in the hall to-day that tenders
were out by s3veral of the principal firms of the
district for extensive supplies of iron for Loudon
houses connected with the East Indian, American,
nnd tr Australian
ra
l trades. Thise supplies were, if
intended to be continuous, but caoct l
for,ia
un-
fortunately the competition wh ch has recently
taken place between the London and North-
Western and Great-Western Railway Companies,
f r the conveyance of goods between these districts
and the ports, has created difficulties and interposed
obstacles which threaten serious injury, more
especially to the iron trade. Tho ironmasters
admit that the redu e'_l tariff cannot pay the rail-
way proprietors, and that some day, sooner or later,
there will be a considarable advance even upon old
charges. Further than this, the London and North
Western Cumpany refuse to ent:r into any con-
traet i f,r the conveyance and delivery of iron at the
present reduced rates beyond the dty of convey-
ance, and the ironmasters, to whom these charges
are cif great importance, as constituting no me,n
item in their contracts, are consequently unable to
COlll9 to satisfactory terms with their London and
Liverpool correspondents. The railway
companies,
present charges as
in fact, look upon existing only
from day to day, an I will enter into no engagements
by which they
for the transit of
iuc nivenieuce and annoy
goods when present difficulties
are arranged. The ironmasters and merchants ap-
pear fully to understand how matters, stand ; and
will be prevented from raising prices
they state that the existing traffic tariff conse-
qu-ntly, instead of bein, an advantage, is a great
harm instead of good
ap eared
was the conclusion to-day, and. in the opinion
most of the influential ironmasters present
ince to the trade. Such
' twined with security
the conveyance of heavy articles of South Staf-
to concur. The reduction of charges fur
forcilshire in.anufactura had as they stated, done
of the distr. t to
le q, for, under present circumstances,
no contract for any 1 the various s aplo trades
length of time could be enter-
fa cturer. b;either merchant or maim-

The coal trade was represented to bs brisk, but
t'is branch of local industry will in
allits bearings
be more fully discussed at the meeting to Le held
at. Slontbridge to-morrow, and to which we will
ref,tr here ifL,r.
The abandonment of the quarterly meeting at
Wolverhunplon, to which we referee 1 on Moudav,
occasioned considerable inconvenience at the Wall-
-11 quarterly 111Cetilla..0' on Tuesday. Tradespeople
I &Used to pay their accounts until Tuesday next ;
the reason being that their meeting usually pre-
ceded that at Wolverhampton ou Wednesday. From
this it would appear that as this year there has been
no October quarterly meeting at Wolverhampton,
theme will be no quarterly October settlement dur-
ing !he present autumn at Wallsall.
