GUN-BOATS FOR INDIA.

This day the first of 25 small iron•scrow gun-
boats, ordered by the East India Commty for
service in India, arrived at the dockyard from the
premises of the builders, Messrs. Sir J. Rennie and
Co., and after receiving on board Mr. Partridge,
assistant chief engineer of the factory department,
proceeded down the river on a trial -trip, in order
to test her screw machinery. The result was h;ghly
sa'isfactory, and the rate of speed obtained was
nine knots per hour. These bolts are decidedly the
most complete specimens of " miniature" naval ar-
chitecture which have yet been turned out of hand.
They are intended for service in the numerous
shallow creeks which are connected with the Ganges, j
Jumna, and other rivers in India, and are conse-
quently constructed to draw about two feet of water.
Each boat will be armed with one 12-pounder gun,
which can be fired, not only from its carnage placed
about the centre of the deck, but can be shifted
with the utmost rapidity to swivels which are placed
at various parts of the dock in order that the
weapon may be directed against any given point.
The interior fittings of the vessel, and especially
the compact aalcon cabin, plici4fl general a4mira-
tion.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.

Slll,—Will you kindly permit me, through the
medium of your columns, to correct an impression which
is gaining ground, that the " Victoria Rifles," or Mid-
dlesex Volunteer Corps, is simply a club of gentlemen,
not sanctioned by Government.
Such an impression to a great extent frustrates the
exertions of these who are endeavouring to raise the
corps to its full compleineut-
I therefore wish to state in contradiction, that the
Victoria Rifle Corps is enrolled under the direct sanction
of her Mkjesty, with the approval also of • Lord Pal-
merston.
The corps is governed by the Volunteer Act, is
entire!), self-supporting, and is, believe, the only
volunteer rifle corps, with the exception of the " South
Devon," whose officers' names appear in the Army List.
Ten of its members have received commissions in
various militia regiments ; one was gazatted direct from
its ranks as Paymaster to the German Legion, and two
are now fighting in India as officers of her Majesty's
60th Rifles.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
FREDK. ABBOTT,
Serjeant, Victoria Rifles.

MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN SPAIN.

A letter from Madrid gives the following ac-
count of a ministerial crisis which lately took
place there :—" For the last fortnight it has
been doubtf„l whether or not the Ministry would
be clanged. The Cabinet desired before the
meeting of the Cortes, which is announced
for the middle of October, to ensure its
situation which was menaced by intrigues
in the p9.la::e of the Queen, in which it is believed
that per: o swho occupy places of confidence
~. __
Nar vaeS insisted on obtaining tine dismissal
persons, but failed to do so, as they energetically
defended themselves, and were protected by power-
ful influence. He also demanded the dismissal of
General de la Concha,, captain-general of Cuba,
and the nomination of General L-rsundi, Minister
of Marine, in his place. This also was not granted,
and in consequence General Lersundi resigned ;
and on the 11th, after a council 'presided over by
the Queen, all the Ministers did the same. The
_Qua -3r, however, refused to accept their resigna-
tions. The day after, a now offer of resignation
was made, but it also was not accepted. On the
13th the Ministers assembled anew, and they
charged M. Pidal, the Min;ster of Foreign Affairs,
to inn sent humbly and respectfully to the Queen
that the Ministry ftlt itself under the necessity cf
persisting iu its demands, in order that it might
not have to fear the underhand intrigues of secret
enemies, whilst publicly combating in the tribune
the adversaries of the government and the enemies
of the corisitutional throne, of the Queen, and of
her dynasty. M. Pidal was at the same time re-
quested to insist on the urgent importance of dis-
missing General de la Concha, and appointing Ge-
neral Lersundi his successor."

AFACT FOR PHYSIOLOGISTS !—lt is a
singular fact that In this enlightened age and country the
treatment usually adopted by the Faculty, in cases of Dyspepsia (In-
digestion), is the result of a false theory, indicating a lamentable
ignorance of the Physiology of the Stomach and Digestive Organs ;
and is in most instances calculated to est :Kish and confirm the ma-
lady it is intend d to remove.
The Secretary of the Nottingham Botanic Institute will feel a
pleasure in forwarding, (free) to all applicants the excellent Botanic
It edy for Indigestion, Billious and Liver Complaints, re sently dis-
cov, red by Pr„ tensor Webster, of Philadelphia, and communicated
to the Institute by that distinguished Botanist. The Medical Re-
form society (at whose cost the-e announcements appear) wish it to
be frankly and distinctly understood, that they will not, in any
shape, nor und_r any circumstances whatever, accept any contribu-
tion, lee, or gratuity for this racip3 ; the object of the society being
to demonstrate the superiority of the Botanic over every other prac-
tice of medicine, and in return only desire that those who may 1)3
signally benefited by it, will forward to the society a statetnent of
the case, and thus aid with facts in accelerating the present move-
ment in favour of Medical Reform.—Enclose directed envelope to
the Secretary, Botanic Institute, Nottingham.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING STREET ROBBERY, WITEIVIOLENCE.—Thomas
Nolan and John Arundel, alias Randall, two notorious
thieves, were placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham,
charged with stealing a gold watch, value 71., the pro-
perty of John Murdoch, No. 6, Eccieston-place, Eaton-
square Pimlico.
Mr. Lewis, jun., of Ely•place, appeared for the priso-
ners.
Mr. Robert Bull, landlord of the Harrow Tavern,
White Friar-street, Fleet-street, stated that on Saturday
night, about half-past ten, he was proceeding down
Duke-place, St. Martin's-lane, when his attention was
attracted to the prosecutor, who was leaning with his
back to the wall, apparently the worse for liquor.
He then saw the prisoner Nolan and two other men, one
of whom he believed to be the prisoner Arundel, go up
to the prosecutor, when Nolen knocked him down.
Directly afterwards the prosecutor called ont, " I have
lost my watch 1" and " Police 1" The prisoner Nolan
then butted the prosecutor with his head, and threw
him down again, and while he (prosecutor) was lying on
the ground the prisoner passed the watch to one of the
other men, who he felt convinced was Arundtl, and they
then ran off. Witness rushed for ward and seised hold
of Nolan, and with the assistance of another person who
subsequently came up detained him till the arrival of a
constable' when he was given into custody.
John Murdoch, the prosecutor, deposed that on
Saturday night, a little after ten o'clock he was in
Duke's-court, with his bands in his pockets, when the
prisoner Nolan and two other men came tip is him, and
before he was aware of it he was knocked down by
Nolan, who took his gold watch from his waistcoat
pocket. On feeling his watch going, he laid boll of him
and called ont, " You have stolen my watch," and
" police." Nolan then " butted " him in the stomach,
and doubled him up on the ground. While prosecutor
was lying ia this defenceless position, he distinctly saw
Nolan hand the watch to one of the other men, who ran
off. Prosecutor was slightly in liquor at the time, and
could not identify any of the other men.
Carnelly, 11 A, was passing down St. Martin's-lane,
on Saturday night, when he heard the cries of "police"
proceed from Duke's-court. He ran to the spot and
found the prisoner Nolan in the hands of the first wit-
ness and another gentleman, who gave the prisoner into
custody on the present charge.
Sergeant Crocker, 9 C, proved apprehending the pri-
soner Arundel on Sunday morning, at his lodgings in
Dudley-street.
Mr. Bingham remanded the prisoners until Saturday
next.
London, England, 1857-09-21

VERDICT OF THE JURY.

On Saturday the adjourned inquest on the body
of the female found murdered in Leigh Woods was
resumed and concluded before Mr. Fry, the coroner
for Somerset. _ . _

Mr. Rudd Lucaq, surgeon, deposed to having
made a post mortem examination of the body, and
said, on removing the deceased's hair he found a
scar recently healed, about 2f inches in length, on
the upper part of the right side of the head. On
taking off the scalp he found a wound in the bone
corresponding with the bullet mark, and afterwards
found a bullet of a small size in the left orbit ; it
was extracted, and weighed 381 grains. It was
rather a slug than a bullet. The bullet had passed
into a small portion of the base of the brain. The •
jugular vein on the right side was divided. Three
of her teeth, extracted from the upper jaw, had
been stopped with some metallic substance. The
wounds in the throat caused death. The wounds
ft out the pistol would not necegsarily have done so.
There was no appearance of any ring on the fingers
having been forcibly torn off. She was apparently
about 25 years of age, and a married woman. A
man named' Powell desired to see the body, as be
hid come many miles to do so, as his daughter
Charlotte had lett home six weeks, and had never
since been heard of. He was permitted to do se,
' but returned. saying it was not his child. The
coroner put it to the jury whether they would ad-
journ, but by a show of hands they decided to
finish the inquiry, and they ultimately returned a
verdict, "'Tat the -unknown deceased was wilfully
murdered by some person or persons unknown."

MURDER OF A BOY IN NOTTINGHAM

F ()BEST.

NOT fINGHAIVI, SATURDAY.

• On Thursday evening last the son of Mr. Atkin-
son, machine builder, Raleigh-street, Nottingham,
a boy eight years of age, was missing from his
home. A search was made, placards printed de-
scribing his person, and every means used to dis-
cover him. All that was known of the affair until
Friday evening was that on Thursday evening he
strayed with a playmate to the neighbourhood of
the Arboretum. About six o'clock a man, having
the appearance of a gipsy, went up to them, and
asked Atkinson's playfellow which was the road to
Basford, a village two miles di,itant, saying that if
he would show him the way he would give him 10s.
The boy answere I that he did not know the way,
but Atkinson ri-plied, that be did, and that he would
accompany him. Atkinson then left his playfellow
and went with the man. Nothing was seen of the
boy until 6 o'clock on Friday evening. At this time
a number of' children were playing in the forest,
wnen one of them got over the hedge of an 'adjoin-
ing field, and discovered the dead body of Atkin-
son. The lad immediately gave an alarm, and the
discovery was communicated to police-constable
Hodgkinson, who was near the spot at the time.
Upon examination of the body it was found that
from marks of compression ,on the neck, and the
appearance of the mouth and nostrils, the boy had
been strangled. There were also marks of violence
on one side of the body, as though he had been
knelt upon. The lad's boots had been taken off
his feet, and it appears that for this paltry purpose
the murder had been committed ; that the fellow's
offering the boy 10s. was merely to decoy him to a
lonely spot for the purpose of committing a rob-
bery. The police are making every exertion for
the apprehension of the murderer: An inquest
upon the body was held this afternoon, at the
Lumley Caatle, Ison-green, before Mr. Coroner
1 Swami, and adjourned for a week.

SWITZERLAND.

The following address has been circulated among
the Swiss soldiers in the service of the King of
Naples and the Pope. It is printed in three lan-
guages, on the same pages, in parallel columns—
Italian, German, and French. It is headed " Ita-

Tian National Party—lndependence and Unifica-
tion," and bears date "Italy, the 10th January."
It is as follows :

" Swiss,—Your country is in danger, and you, in-
stead of defending its liberty, defend the tyranny of the
Bourbon of Naples and the Pope.
" The Prussians are already putting themselves in
motion to invade your country, and you remain at
Naples and Rome to aid those who oppress ours. In
Switzerland you would be soldiers covered with glory
here you are dishonoured Einirri, and while you might
use your arms for the defence of that independence
which your fathers have purchased at the price of their
blood, you employ them to uphold slavery. Shall the
sons of William Tell be the assassins in the pay of
Ferdinand 11. and of Cardinal Antonelli

" Many Italians have already offered their services to
your country. Say, while they are combating for Swit-
zerland, have you the courage to combat against Italy
" Hasten where your country calls you. There is
glory ; here is infamy. There is the blessing [of your
parents, of your wives, and of all free men ; here is the
malediction of the women and children of Italy, whom
you shall render widows and orphans—the malediction
•f tae whole civilised world.
" Choose now between the glorious laurels of Sem-
pach. of Granson, of Morgarten, of Morat, and the
infamous laurels of Naples and Messina. Return to
your valleys, to your mountains, and you shall be
accompanied by our prayers, and the blessing of the
God of Battle, who is the God of the soldiers of liberty,
and not the God of the satellites of tyrants."

NAPLES.

A letter from Naples, of the Bth, says :—" You
will no doubt have been apprised already of the
frightful accident which has destroyed one of his
Majesty's steam-frigates, the Carlo 111. The
vessel sank with some 100 souls on board, of whom
not more than half were saved, and they are all
maimed for life. The captain and officers of the
Malacca, the English steam-frigate lying in this
port, rescued most of those that were saved, as no
Neapolitan boatmen would dare approach the
scene of danger on account of the police regula-
tions. The King sent the same night his best
thanks to Capt. Farquhar, for his prompt and ener-
getic succour to the unfortunate drowning men.
Of course this misfortune is said to be a complot
to prevent powder and guns from reaching Sicily.
H.M. is greatly incensed at all these late afflictions,
but although the palace, which he and his family
have never quitted these three weeks, has suffered
most in shattered windows and broken doors,
IL M. has only this day resolved to go to Caserta
for the winter season ; thus showing his confidence
in the reports that accident only caused them, and
not treachery. No advantage to any cause could
be gained by blowing up a vessel situated beyond
the Lantern or lighthouse, and the sailors could
not have devised to drown themselves to please
any party. The captain was found among the
dead, minus his head and arms. In short the
scene was heartrending, and as many of the men
were in their berths sleeping at that hour there is
doubtless still a most harrowing scene to be wit-
nessed when the ship Carlo 111. shall be raised
from the sea. It is a fact that great terror occupies
the minds of the people here, particularly of those
who do not know that there is not sufficient pow-
der left in the magazines to endanger their lives.
The court ball to which were invited all the Eng-
lish here of every rank and station has been coun-
termanded, and notice given of its not taking place
for the present."

the directors, from which it appeared that the net

would require 12,5001., and leave 13,4671. to go towards
the kind for meeting bad debts, which now amounted
181,5471, The accounts of the business for the half.
year were very encouraging, and the prospects of the

SHAREHOLDER.

Mr. Grant, a solicitor, applied to his Honour for an
order upon the assignees to allow him to peruse the deed
of settlement of the Company, in order to ascertain who
was the attesting witness to the signature of a party who
was alleged to be a shareholder.
Mr. Linklater, on the part of the assignees, said that
the objection to produce the deed was that this was a
case in which an individual creditor had taken pro-
ceedings against an individual shareholder, and the
assignees did not consider that, as it was not
for the general benefit, they ought to afford any
facilities ; besides which a scheme had been got
up by which it was hoped that a large sem of money
would be raised, so as to prevent the ruinous and undue
pre-sure on individual shareholders. The assignees
were, however, entirely in the hands of the Court, and
if his Honour so directed, the deed should be produced;
but if not, the assignees must leave Mr. Grant to take
the usual steps to compel the production of the deed.
`Zr. Grant said that would be when it was too late,
as
Evans
summons was coming on before Mr. Commissioner
fun: to-morrow. He hoped that his Honour would,
I furtherance of justice, order that the deed should be
produced.

- His Honour said that as the assignees did not consent,
and as the proceedings appeared to be rather adverse to
the bankruptcy, he did net think the party was entitled.
Mr. Grant said his client had proved his debt under
the bankruptcy.
His Honour—And he is now taking proceedings for
his own benefit ulterior of the bankruptcy, therefore I
do not think I ought to interfere with the discretion of
the assignees, and must leave the matter to take its
course.
Mr. Linklater said the only motive of the assignees
was to act for the benefit of all the parties intoresto4
