THE FALL OF DELHI.
We have been honoured with the following pri-
vate let ter : _

MITSSOORIE.

The following is from a lady at Mussoorie, dated
September, 24 :
My deareet—,— You will by this time have heard
that Delhi is once more in our possession, but the good
news cannot give you half the pleasure that it gave us.
On the 14th the assault commenced, and on the 21st the
town was completely in our hands. The bloodshed on
both sides has been very great, bat no official lists have
yet been sent up here, though, of course, we have heard
the names of most of those killed and wounded. Among
the officers Edward Hildebrand was the first killed on our
side, but I think I told you of his death in my last. We
have as yet heard no particulars of the fight, for the let•
ters which have been received up here were only a few
lines to say the writers were safe. They have not much
time for writing just now, poor fellows I We think the
rains are nearly over now, which will be a great thing
for the troops. Hitherto great numbers have been ear-
ned off by cholera, fever, &c. ; but directly the rains are
over the air begins to freshen, and in October it is very
healthy even in the plains.
25tb.—To-day the official returns of those killed have
reached us. We have lost 65 officers and 1,163 men.
General Wilson has now only 1,500 Europeans left with
him. I was sorry to see among the names that of En-
sign Gambier, who wrote the account of his escape from
Delhi to Meerut which I sent home and desired H---
to forward to you. He joined the force before Delhi
only a few days before the assault. The first
account we beard when the Palace was taken was that
the King and Royal family had made their escape to a
village a few miles off ; but to-day we hear that he has
given himself up. I will not vouch for the truth of
this. I 'wonder what will be done with him ; people
think there will be no peace while he is alive and in
this country. Three regiments of mutinous Sepoys
escaped from the town during the assault, and have
betaken themselves to Rohilcand. They are now at
Muzuffernugger, much too near us to be pleasant ; they
have sent a force from Meerut to dislodge them, but we
have not yet heard of the result. They (the rebels) are
between us and Meerut. I hcpe they will not take it
into their heads to make a rash up here. We have no
tidings of the success of Havelock's march to relieve
Laelenow ; but all communication with the Lower Pro-
vinces has now been cut off. All our letters go up to
" Lahore, and then down to Bombay—rather a long way
round, as you will see if you look at the map. How for-
tunate for us that the Punjaub has continued quiet ?
Sir J. Lawrence, the chief commissioner, is 'a most able
and energetic man, equal to his post. Mr. Ci lvin, cur
lieutenant-governor, died lately at Agra. Mr. J. P.
Grant is spoken of as his successor ; his appointment
(should it take place) will give great dissatisfaction, as
he is totally unacquainted with the north-west, and a
great deal too much of a fine gentleman. It is not ge-
nerally thought that is such times as these, when the
north-west is one great battle-field, the governorship
should have been given to a military man. Of course I
know nothing of all this ; I only repeat other people's
opinions. A few days ago our people had a braih
with some insurgents at a place called Sharanpore, and
I &el sorry to say they were beaten off, through the mis-
conduct of some of the Ghoorkas; however, they will
be at them again by this time. Sharanpore is close to
this—just through the pass a little to the right, and
Muzuffernugger just beyond It ; so you see our amiable
friends the Pandies are much nearer than they were
before. We don't want them up here, for our little
band is being reduced. Fifteen officers (convalescents.)
were ordered down to Delhi yesterday. They start
on Monday. How they are to get down seems a pro-
blem, but I suppose they will make a long detour
through the hills ; the direct road they cannot go. I
hope they will all reach safely, but I am very much
afraid they will not.
" 25th.—We have to-day heard that the two eons of
the King and ono of his grandsons have been captured
and shot, and their bodies have been hung up. The
King of Delhi has been paraded, in order to disgrace
him. His ultimate fate seems uncertain. He is a very
old man. We have heard today, too, that when the
force from Meerut reached Muzuffernugger the rebels
had evacuated the place, and not one wag to be seen.
This is good news for us. Teelay, or rather to-night,
the hazier is illuminated by order of the commandant,
Colonel Lestrange. We passed through it an hour
ago, and it promised to be a very pretty sight. A
salute of 21 guns was fired, and altogether we are in
better spirits.

"About the Ist of this month Brigadier Nichol-
m went out with a force and completely routed a
large force of the enemy, taking 13 guns. About
this time the siege-train of heavy guns arrived from
the Punjaub. Up to this time we were acting en-
tirely on the defensive. We had not sufficient
means with us to commence the siege, and it was
all wa could do with our small force to repel the
numerous attacks of the enemy. That time was, I
think, the worst part of the whole. We were often
on duty three nights of every week, making defen-
sive works. When once we began the siege we knew
we should soon take the place, which kept us up to
any work. On the Bth of Sept. large working par-
ties from all the regiments in camp paraded at the
Engineer-park, taking tools with them. We
marched down to within 300 yards of the walls and
bastions of the city. The men were employed in
filling sandbags, and making the ground ready for
the batteries. Previous to this for about a fort-
night we had to go out at night with large work-
ing and covering parties, and cut all the trees where
the works were intended to be. That was the
worst part of all, stumbling about all night in the
long rank jungle, sometimes five feet high, wet
through with the dew, and frequently attacked by
the enemy. On the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th
the batteries were completed. They were
immensely large, built up to the bottom of the
embrasures of solid faseines, 1,500 camels were
employed nightly in carrying down the
fassiues. Strange to say, the enemy did not tire
on us much while building the batteries. We were
almost all of us on duty three nights running. On
the 12th the batteries opened fire, when, after see-
ing the first salvo knock down large pottions of the
Cashmere bastion, I was so tired that I lay downaud
slept during the roar of the guns for three or four
hours. There were four batteries, one of them
having 20 heavy guns and howitzers. The walls
seemed to crumble before the weight of metal, after
two days' firing two breaches were made and a great
part of the parapet stripped off the wall. One
sanding battery was within 200 yard of then Water
Bastion. The fire of musketry from the walls of
the town at this bastion was tremendous. The
guns were obliged to have iron mantlets fixed on
them to protect the men while working the guns.
I was in the battery when poor Captain Fagan, of
the Artillery, was shot through the head with a
musket ball. He would expose himself, though
frequently warned. He used to get up and look
over the mantlets to lay his guns better. Captain
'Taylor, Engineers, managed the attack admirably.
He was the director of the attack. On the night of
the 13th he and Lieutenants Medley and Lang,
Engineers, with two or three riflemen, crept up-to
the ditch and ascertained that the breaches were
practicable, and got back again without being
seen. Captain Taylor instantly determined on
the assault for the following morning. There
were five columns of attack. Two or three En-
gineer officers were told off to each by seniority.
Tee seniors went with the first column, the next
with the second ; so Ward and myself, the unfor-
tunate juniors (Carnegie and Forbes being sick), had
to go with the fifth column or reserve ; so I do
not consider that we had so much danger, though
the fire was rather sharp when we went in. All
the Engineer officers in the other columns, except
Home, Lang, and Thomason, were wounded. We
paraded about 3 o'clock in the morning of the 4th
witit our separate columns, with Sappers, with
powder-bags, &e., and marched down to the attack.
It was just daylight when the first column halted at
a turn in the road which concealed them from view
of the walls, but Aso to the Cashmere-gates. Lieu-
tenants Salkeld and Home, sergeants Carmichael,
Burgess, Smith, and four Sappers and a bugler of
"her Majesty's 52d Regiment advanced from the
column up to the Cashmere-gate. It was an im-
mensely heavy wooden gate, flanked on all sides by
the walls. Home laid the powder at the foot of the
gate. They were instantly discovered, and a heavy
fire opened on them from all sides. Sergeant Car-
michael took the fuse and was on the point of firing
when he was shot dead by a sepoy, who placed his
musket through a hole in the wall. Sergeant Burgess
took the fuse from his hand, and was likewise shot
deed. Lieutenant Salkeld then took the fuse, and was
shot through the arm and fell into the ditch, break-
ing his leg by the fall. As he fell he threw up the
fuse, which Sergeant Smith seized, and fired the
charge. At the same time the bugler sounded the
advance, and on rushed the column. The chargeblew
in the gate, and about 17 of the enemy whowere close
to it. Our troops rushed in, up the bastions and
along the walls. At the same time the second and
fourth columns attacked by the breaches, and the
wads were cleared of all the defenders. The
Cashmere-gate presented a horrible sight ; 30 or 40
Sepoys, some blown up and others bayonetted and
shot down, were lying all about. It was the same
all along the walls. No quarter was given ; but
they made very little defence, and retired into the
city, where they again made a stand. I went into
the bastion. Such a scene of ruin you never saw.
Almost every gun was dismounted, or had a great
piece of iron knocked out of it, and dead Sepoys all
around. The troops took up their quarters in the
college and church, but the enemy fired on us all
night. We made a battery by the college, and
commenced shelling the town and palace. We lost
most of our men in the town. They advanced too
far without support, and were fired at from the
walls and houses. Our losses from the 14th to the
20th were 64 officers and 1,380 men killed and
wounded. On the 16th we attacked and took the
magazine. I went with the column. We took them
by surprise, and they offered very little resistance ;
but in the afternoon they returned and attacked
the magazine, and set the roof on fire. We had to
get up on the roef with leathern bags of water and
put it out, while they threw large stones at us.
Thsy were fanatics, I afterwards heard. I think
that day I had the narrowest escape of any. After
putting out part of the fire I was just jumping
down, when three of them put their heads over the
wall and took three deliberate shots at me, all of
which missed me. They could not have been above
ten yards off ; I fired my revolver at oue, but don't
know whether it hit him or not. A sergeant of Ar-
tillery then got on the top of the Artillery magazine
with 10-inch shells in his hand ; he lighte the
fuse and dropped them on their heads ; five or
six he let off in this way. It must have killed
a great many, for they fled almost directly. On
the 20th, after our pouring into it a tremendous
fire of shell, we attacked the Palace. There were
very few Sepoys found in it. They had all fled
during the night.
" Thank God it is all over ; I am sick of blood-
shed and seeing men killed. I never felt so
much seeing an European killed as a poor pri-
vate of her Majesty's 61st. I was in the maga,-
ne with him, making some loopholes of sand-
b ears. He asked me to take a shot at the Sepoys
outside with his rifle, and he was looking through
the loophole to see the shot when a bullet came e
through and killed Lim by my side. Lieut. Hod- MANCHESTER, Nov. 17.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Hamburg ship La Rochelle, which was off
Falmouth on Monday, reports that in lat. 7 N.,
long. 24.48 W., she spoke the steamship Hydaspes,
from London for the East Indies. The troops (ar-
tillery) were all well at that period, and were three
and a half days from St. Vincent's. She also re-
ports Oct. 10, lat. 10.24 N., long. 23.48 W., steam
troopship Italian, from Cork for Bombay, having
on board 201 men of the 18th and 26th Foot. The
Hydaspes left Woolwich Sept. 17, and the Italian
left Cork Sept. 25.
Yesterday a draught, comprising about 120 men,
left Colchester camp to join their respective regi-
ments in India. They comprised 60 men of the 2d
battalion Rifle Brigade, 30 men 3d battalion Rifle
Brigade, 15 of the Ist battalion of 60th Rifles, and
16 men of the 54th Foot. The men, who were ac-
companied by one sergeant and two corporals,
and under the command of Capt. Maguire, of the
60th Rifles, embarked the same day on board the
clipper transport George Marshall, lying off Graves-
end, and bound fur Bombay. Owing to the
crowded state of the camp, and the inability of the
rifle instructors at the branch camp at Clacton to
prepare a sufficient number of men for active ser-
vice abroad, upwards of 200 meat have been re-
moved to Harwich and Languard Fort, where a
staff will be temporarily kept to relieve the Artil-
lery under orders for India, and alms fur the pur-
pose of assisting to train the young recruits, who
now form an important part of the camp, in the
use of the rifle. Major-General Lawrence having,
returned to Aldershott, the command has been as-
sumed by Lieut.-Col. Dixon. Large numbers of
recruits continue to corns into the camp, which may
now be said to be in a satisfactory condition.
Owing to the great increase in the strength of
Chatham garrison, consequent on the large arrivals
of recruits for the purpose of joining tue various
Indian depots attached to the provisional batta-
lions, the authorities are making arrangements
for the embarkation during the ensuing month
of about 1,000 troops, with a proportionate
number of officers from the following In-
dian depot companies quartered at Chatham
garrison—viz., 7th (Fusiliers), Bth (the King's)
10th, 18th (Royal Irish), 19th, 20th, 23d (Royal
Welsh Fusiliers, 24th, 27th (Enniskillens, 29th,

Fusiiers), 90th (Light Infantry), 94th, and 98th
Regiments. Great activity prevails in the garrison
in bringing the men forward for embarkation, and
about 200 troops are daily undergoing instruc'ion
in the use of the Mini© rifle.

The Union Screw Steamship Company's mail
packet, Norman, Captain Boxer, left Plymouth on
Sunday for the Cape of Good Hope.
The paddlewheel steamship Scourge, 6, Commo-

day from Portsmouth.
The Rev. C. A. A. Craven, M.A., has been sta.

STATE OF TRADE.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 17.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Edwin Collins,
footman, was charged with having barglariously
stolen a large quantity of silver plate, the property
of his master, Defries, of Fitzroy-square.
Two persons are already in custody and under
remand on the same charge.
Police-constable Lambert, E 68, said, in conse-
quence of information he received he went to
Wokingham, where the prisoner, who had been in
the service of Mr. Defries, was living with his
father. On seeing the prisoner he told him he was
a police-constable and must apprehend him for
robbing his late master of a quantity of plate. The
prisoner, without any promise or threat, volunta
rily said, he would not deny the robbery and would
t-ll him all about it presently. The prisoner asked
him if he had seen a man named Sullivan recently.
He said he had, and added that Sullivan was now
in custody. The prisoner then stated that Sul-
livan had one-half of the plate and he had
the other. The prisoner mentioned that he also
had a topcoat belonging to Mr. Defries. As they
were coming to the train be asked the prisoner when
he had seen Sullivan last. The prisoner said he had
not seen him since the morning of the robbery, an d
that was in Marylebone-lane, where he was taking
the plate to dispose of to a person there.
At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Berries inti-
mated that he had an important communication to
make to the Court.

Mr. Beadon took Mr. Defries into his private
room, and after a short conference, the prisoner WA3
remanded until the day fixed for the further exami-
nation of the other prisoners.

they had pearls, red stones, and such like in them.
(Two pa3te diamonds were here produced and
shown to witness.) No, these are not those I saw ;
they were larger and much better cut than these.
(A. Brussels lace shawl was hero shown tc, witness,
and which was sworn to at the last examination as
the property of Lady Ellesmere). After the last
examination Mrs. Jackson told me she should want
me to come here and state that I had seen this
shawl in her possession five years ago, but I told
her I could not do so, for I had not seen it at all.

WESTMINSTER.—John Usher, a private in
the Grenadier Guards, was charged on Monday
with the following outrage.
Mary Ann Watldns, an unfortunate woman, liv-
ing in Cottage-court, Orchard-street, Westminster,
stated that on the previous night, between 12 and 1
o'clock, she was in bed, and upon bearing loud and
long continued screaming from the room beneath
she went downstairs to the door of the room whence
the cries proceeded, and was standing there when
the accused opened the door and struck her a des-
perate blow in the mouth, which knocked her down
and rendered her insensible. No words had been
exchanged bet ween them, nor had she given the de-
fendant any provocation.
Jane Morgan, another woman, corroborated this
statement.

Sergeant Evans—On discovering her ladyship's
lace veil at the prisoner's house, in a chest of drawers
in the bed-room, the female prisoner sai dit belonged
to her before her marriage, and had been given her
by her mother. The black lace shawl, since sworn
to, I discovered in a box, with some man's clothes,
which she said were her husband's. That the female
prisoner said she had from a woman who lived with
her sister in the Elampstead-road. The drab dress,
also now produced and sworn to, she claimed as one
of her own, and said she had had it cut up that it
might make frocks for the children.
The female prisoner, who was constantly in tears,
is near her confinement, and was therefore allowed
a seat. She denied this partlof the officer's state-
ment, and Mr. Lewis, who cited numerous cases,
contended that she could not be sent for trial, as
the husband alone, if either of them, was answer-
able for the offence. _

Mr. D'Eyncourt thought differently; the evi-
dence certainly now pressed closer upon the wo-
man, and he should increase her bail to two sure-
tie3 in 501. each.

Eliza Clayton, another woman of the same un-
fortunate class, said that she was drinking at the
King's Head, Orchard-street, on the previous even-
ing, and saw the defendant there. When she left
she found the defendant following her, and he
rushed after her into her own room, and treated
her in the most atrocious and disgraceful manner.
She screamed repeatedly whenever she was able,
but he put his hand upon her mouth at different
times and prevented her making any noise.
She struggled and resisted as long as she was
able, but be at length got the better of
her. He kicked and beat her in the most shock-
ing way, as it would be proved if her body was
examined, and she now produced her dress, which
was torn to pieces, to show the violence of the
struggle which had taken place.
Mr. Arnold inquired whether he understood
rightly that all had occurred against the will and
consent.

Sergeant Evans opposed the man's being liberated
upon bail, as there was a vast amount of property
still, unrecovered, and if he were free the police
would have but small chance of recovering it. The
magistrate, however, increased Jackson's bail to
four in 501. each, which he could not find, and he
was therefore yesterday brought up in custody, the
wife surrendering to her bail. _ _

Sergeant Evsns, after a conference with the
Bench, now said,—I must apply, sir, for another
remand, as I have most important evidence to pro-
duce, and if I produce it now I should entirely
frustrate the ends of justice. I may also state that
since the last examination I have been to the pri-
son at the request of Jackson, and he then told me
that as he had a wife and children he wanted to
look after them, and he acknowledged that the
stolen box had baen brought to his house at night
time.

Mr. Lewis—l object to any private communica-
tion being made to the magistrate by the officer.
We ought to know what it is.
Mr. D'Eyncourt—ln consequence .of what has
now come to my knowledge I shall refuse any bail
for the male prisoner at all. The wife's bail may be
extended to the next examination.

The reply of the woman indicated that it was not
only so, but was attended by circumstances that
heightened the nature of the offence.
Thomas West, 53 B, said that at 1 o'clock that
morning he heard screams of " Murder " and
"Police" from Cottage-court, and on proceeding
there the defendant was pointed out to him as a
person who had committed a violent assault. He
found the first woman, Watkins, lying in the pas-
sage insensible, with her mouth severely cut and a
large pool of blood on the floor in front of her. He
sent defendant to the station, and conveyed her to
the hospital.
In answer to questions from the magistrate, wit-
ness said that the defendant was a little under the
influence of liquor, but well knew what he was
about. The woman Clayton was intoxicated ; the
other was not. He examined Clayton's room, which
bore every appearance of a severe struggle having
taken place there. One end of the bedstead was
down on the ground, and the place was in great
disorder, as was also Clayton's dress. Many per-
sons were round the door of the house, attracted
by the woman Clayton's screams.
_

The female prisoner's bail was therefore again ac-
cepted, and the was liberated, while her husband
was again locked up.

SOUTHWARK.—Chas. Nash, a young man of
respectable appearance, was charged with embezzling
the sum of 8/. 12s. 7d., the money of his employers,
Messrs. Hepburn and Co., tanners and fellmongers,
Long-lane, Bermondsey, aid sentenced to 6 months'
hard labour in the House of Correction.

Two very fine-looking coloured girls, about
18 or 20 years old, were brought before Mr. Bur-
cham for further examination, charged with beg-
ging in the public streets.
The prisoners, who were well conducted, and
apparently of good education, were seen on Satur-
day evening walking along the side of the kerb in
Blackman-street, dressed in white. One of them
carried a box, and the other a placard on which was
written " Fugitive Slaves." 85 M, seeing several
persons put copper money into their box, took them
into custody for begging, and when before Mr.
Coombe on Saturday evening they were remanded
until to-day, in order that inquiries might be made
about them.

One of the witnesses said that the screams were
heard for nearly an hour.

Mr. Arnold remanded the accused until Satur-
day, and directed the police to make the fullest in-
quiry into the matter.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Edward Jackson, an oil
and colourman in Leonard-street, Shoreditch, and
Anne Jackson, his wife, were charged ou re-exami-
nation before kr. D'Eyncourt with boing found in
felonious possession of numerous valuable articles
of wearing apparel, the property of the Countess of
Ellesmere, acid stolen, with a portmanteau con-
taining jewellery and other property to the aggregate
amount of about 15,0001., from herladyship's travel-
ling carriage, during her progress from Cleveland-
squ tre, St. James's, to Windsor, on a visit to her
Majesty. _ _ _

TLe elder prisoner, an intelligent and good-look-
ing woman, said they were fugitives from Ken-
tucky. They were born and brought up on a plan-
tation, and about 12 months ago their father died.
Their mother was sold to another distant planter,
and they were about to be parted and sold also,
when they succeeded in getting away to Phila-
delphia. There they were taken care of by a bene-
volent person, and through the kindness of some
free coloured persons there their passage was paid to
Greenock, where they arrived last spring. They
tried to get into domestic service, but being unable
to obtain situa•icns there, they made their way to
London. Here they were equally unfortunate, and
at the present time without the means of subsist-
ence. They had. lived lately along with a labourer
and his wife named Flynn in a court in Bishops-
gate-street, and gained a few pence by selling tracts.
Mr. Burcham asked whether inquiries had been
made as to the truth of their story.
The constable replied that they had, and he had
reason to believe it was true.

There have been five remands of this case in
the whole, such difficulties have the officers experi-
enced in tracing the stolen properly and the pri-
soners' conneetion with it. The first three, which
have already been published, were occupied with
the production of what stolen articles have as yet
been discovered and their identification by Lady
Ellesmere's servants and tradesmen, and it now re-
mains to prove the male prisoner's reception of the
stolen property, his solicitor, Mr. Lewis, being in-
structed to deny that he had the slightest personal
knowledge of it. When Jackson was taken he was
feund in possession of a large package of new ribands
and neckties, suspected by the officers to form part
of the produce of another robbery in the city, and
for which Jackson accounted by stating that they
had been intrusted to him for sale by a man named
Woodford, at Bethnal-green, but where Woodford
resided, or what Woodford was, he professed not to
know. The police therefore stet to work to trace
Woodford, if possible, and
Sergeant Evans, who had the conduct of the case,
stated—l have since made persevering inquiries
after this man Woodford, who is alleged by the male
prisoner to have given him this part of the property,
and find that Woodford is now undergoing 12
months' imprisonment for receiving stolen goods, he
being by trade a clockmaker. I shall now prove the
stealing of her ladyship's travelling case by calling
Chas. Freud—l am now driver of a Hansom cab,
but on the 22d Jan., 1856, when this robbery was
committed, was driving the four-wheeled cab No.
10,932. I was on the Davies-street stand, nearer to-
wards Grosvenor-square, when a young man came
up and asked my charge for taking him and a box
to Willow-walk, Shoreditch. I thought 3s. would
do, to which he agreed, I drove to the church, where
another man stood with a large box. I offered a hand
to put the box on the roof, but the first man said
" No, no, inside;" and it was got inside. The box was
601 b. to 8;)1b. in weight, black, like a lady's box,
with a flat top, and would just go iu the cab-door.
The box now produced by the police I believe to be
the same. One man shook hands with the other
and went away, and the other man on reaching
Finsbury-square told me to go down Leonard-street
and pull up at a beershop in Leonard-square and
h tve some beer. I did so, and the man who rode
with me then got the trunk out on to his shoulder,
went down Leonard-street with it, and then (Tossed.
over. It is so long since I don't think I could
recognize that man now, and I don't think I have
seen the male prisoner before. I suspected some-
thing wrong when I took the man up, but he offered
to stand beer, and I then did not. Directly I heard
of the robbery I gave information to the police, de-
scribing the box as two feet wide and three feet
long, and I saw the same box direotly after it was
found.
Thomas Geary—l live in Antelope-gardens, near
Leonard-street, and found this box between 7 and
8 in the morning in a garden near my house, with
its lock broken and two of the buckles fastened,
and but a short distance from the house of the pri-
soner.
Eliza Parsons, a widow—l, have washed for Mrs.
Jackson and seen some very expensive articles in
her posses-ion, such as handkerchiefs with lace on
them. I think I have seen this one now shown me,
and also one with a much deeper lace. I have seen
them from a year to 18 months back. (A frock
was handed to witness.) I have seen this often ;
it was made about a twelvemonth ago for Mrs.
Jackson's baby.
Sergeant Evans—This foul's part of a dress which
was sworn to by the Countess's servants at the last
exhminztion. Perhapz, sir, you will ask her if she
ever saw any diamonds ?
Witness—Yes, I have seen Mrs. Jackson with
two diamonds ; she showed them to me ; tbey were
like a button, very splendid, and had a point up-
wards. She told me a gent!eman had sent them to
her from Australia.
Inspector Urccknell—Willyou ask her, sir, about
a teakettle 1
Witness—When her husband bad been taken by
the police about a tub of butter, Mrs. Jackson asked
me to take care of the teakettle. Tn the kettle were
two watches and a lot of rings and other things,
and Lome silver spoons. A little long jewel-box was
also given me In.sicle the kettle. It was a bright
copper kettle. I was accused, as I was told by a
neighbour, of keeping back one of the rings when I
returned the thiugs. There were lots of rings in
the kettle. I don't know if they were valuable, but

Two officers of the Mendieity Society, who were
in attendance, also informed his Worsh►p that they
wore not known as beggars.
Mr. Burcham asked them what they were able to
do for a living.
The elder girl replied that they were both do-
mestic servants, but people objected to them in
such situations in this country owing to their
colour. They were, however, able to knit gloves.
Mr. Burcham told thorn that knittinff gloves
would be much better than begging, which was not
allowed in this country. He would advise them to
knit some and sell them. The cold weather wai
coming, and no doubt they would get a ready sale
for them. _

They expressed their willingness to do so, pro-
vided they bad the means to obtain the wool.
Mr. Burcham told them if their story was true
there was some cominisseration for them, and he
did not think they were actual beggars. As they
seemed willing to obtain their livelihood by
their own labour, h. e would assist them in pur-
chasing wool. A shilling was found on them, and
he should direct 4s. to be added to it from the poor-
box, and be hoped with that they would be able to
earn their own subsistence. He earnestly exhorted
them not to be led away by bad. women, and avoid
the streets of London.

The poor girls, who listened attentively to his
Worship, promised to comply, and thanked him
earnestly fur the assistance he had so kindly ren-
dered them in a strange country. They thought
they should ba able to gain a good living by glove
making.

LAMBETFI. —Edward Grant, a journeyman
bricklayer, was brought before Mr. Elliott on re-
mand, charged with Committing a very brutal as-
sault ou George Carpenter.
From the evidenceadduced in the case it appeared
that on Saturday night week the injured man Car-
penter was at a public-house at the Marsh-gate, and
on going out for a necessary purpose he was followed
by the prisoner, knocked down and violently kicked
aud.when released from his violence it was disco-
vered that his lez was broken in two places, and
when carried to the hospital it was found that his
thumb was broken also.
Jesse Cannon, 69 L, the constable who has the
case in hand, produced a certificate from the hos-
pital to the effect that the injured man is not yet
in a fit &tate to attend and give his evidence.
Mr. Elliott, after a lengthened examination,
again remanded the prisoner for a week to give time
for the attendance of the injured man Carpenter.
