DARING ROBBERY IN A ROUSE OF ILL-FAME OF •
SAILOR.—Mary Greydon, Devonshire-street, Limehouse ;
Sarah M‘Williams alias Mary Sullivan, 1 Hungerford-
street, St. Georges ; and Mary Hagan, Angel-court, ditto ;
were placed at the bar charged with being concerned in
stealing from the person of Thomas Ren, master mariner,
of 18 sovereigns, Bs.. in silver in a purse, and a gold watch
and chain, of the value of £l5, of which the chain, five
sovereigns and the silver was recovered.
It appeared from the evidence that on the previous night
the prosecutor, who had been drinking and was the worse
for liquor, met the prisoner Hagan, and was induced to go
to a house of ill-fame in Angel-court. The other prisoner
came there by whom he was surronnded for a short time,
after prosecutor missed his money and the other articles
mentioned in the charge. As soon as possible the prose-
cutor gave information to Sergeant Cox, 45 R, and Lane,
397 K.
Cox proved having, with the assistance of his brother
officer, taken the prisoner into custody, and with having
found the property above stated.
Hagan was discharged, M'Williams was remanded, an
Greydon was sent to prison for four months.

THIS DAYS MARKETS

The supply of English wheat here to-day was chiefly
composed of samples left over from Monday. The attend-
ance of millers was limited, and the demand ruled very in-
active. In prices, however, we have no change to report.
The fresh imports of foreign wheat are only 4,240 quar-
ters. Good and fine parcels were held at full prices ; but
other kinds had a drooping tendency.
Fine barley was scarce, and in request, at extreme rates
Inferior parcels ruled stationary.

There was only a limited sale for malt; nevertheless,
prices were supported.
The oat trade was much less active, and the quotations
wore barely maintained.
Both beans and peas commanded full currencies ; but
flour was very dull at late rates.

INCOME TAX-MANNING THE NAVY.

Even while all this money is being spent-, we are
told by every one that when we have got together
a large fleet, we do not know where to find men to
man it. All the efforts of all our officials upon this
subject savour only of hopeless and helpless imbe-
cility. Royal Commissions sit upon the matter,
and, starting with the condition that this' part of
the business must be done very cheap, that there is
no money to, be 'spared for it, cannot agree, and pub-
lish separate reports. Ministers propose a measure
for the purpose, and the House of Commons, ready
to second every effort towards such an object, pass
it almokt eagerly; 'although feeling it to be a weak
and miserable bidding towards an object that is a
great mitional necessity. For the, whole work of a
reserve volunteer force for the navy the Ministry,
after vast consultatioa, have counselled the nation
to spend a sum of money rather less than would be
applied to the cost of -the steam-engines of two
line-of-battle ships.
NOW, we=and when we say " we".' we' include
everyone out of office and out of Parliament, ex-
cept, only some ancient admirals and captains fit
for the retiredlst—have set our hearts upon see-
ing a real, permanent, available marine force. We
want mormy to effect this, and we want that money,
not from taxes, but from retrenchments. It is an
English belief, so' widely spread as to be fairly
termed universal, that five millions of money
could. be saved out of our Army and Navy
Estimates, and the army and navy be more efficient
than they now are. We are of those who believe'
this with .an unwavering faith. The Horse Guards,
even if they had the best possible intentions, could
no more do this than could a poet cut out the boin-
bast from his own poem. The Admiralty is equally
incapable, for the same reason. Every excrescence
is to them an old friend, whom they have long since
believed in as a beauty and a necessity. One df
these wasted millions would give us the necessary
machinery for.replacing by money allurements the'
press system, which we have renounced.. But no,
we shall not have it. There is no Parliamehtary
power to represent this general national feeling.
Mr. Gladstone is just now drawn down from-those
cloudy pinnacles of thought in which he generalliv
dwells, but he is come down upon firm earth not tb
advocate expenditure, bta to repress it. Mr. Brig*
will not touch that unclean thing, war. The Grand
Master of the Templars told the Jew, " I touch no
infidel save with the sword;" Mr. Bright will not
touch the Army and Navy Estimates save to anni-
hilate them altogether. Mr. Roebuck is of no use
unless somebody is to be prosecuted or lacerated in
some manner. We appeal to Mr. Cobden. At
Rochdale, some weeks since, he for the first time
deviated into a suggestion upon naval matters. If
he would only give up a portion of his vacation to
mastering this subject, and would bring his powers
to bear upon it, we are convinced that five millions
might be saved, and with one of these five millions
our ships of war might be manned as easily as they
are now coaled.—Thnes.

TUBES.

Each tube covers two openings—that is to say,
it is fixed in position in the centre, and is free to
expand or contract on the adjoining two piers.
They are 16 inches by 19 inches at the ends, but
they gradually increase to the centre, at which
point they are 16 feet by 21 feet 8 inches. The
length will accordingly be—
Feet.
On centre pier
Two openings, each of 242 min. ..

Tot al

516

The expansion rollers are seven in number, in
each set of 6 inches diameter is a cast iron frame
rolling on planed bed plates; the rollers themselves
being turned and the bed plated, they run as
smoothly as on glass. The weight of each tube,
with all its appurtenances of 516 feet, is about 644
tons; that is to say, for each opening 322 tons.
The construction of this character of work is now so
well known that much allusion is not necessary.

PRESENT CONDITION OF WORK.
The abutments and piers are all complete, with
the exception of Nos. 14 and 15, which are built
6 feet above water level, and No. 11 pier, which was
purposely left untouched in order to leave one
channel open for rafts, the waterway being nar-
rowed between the piers already constructed by the
cofferdams. The two former will be finished in 20
days after the working season commenees, the latter
by beginning of September.
Of the tubes 16 of the 25 are fixed and finished
in position. The centre span is completed.
And on or about the Ist day of October, in the
year of our Lord 1859, this wondrous work will be in
full play, bearing the tread of the mighty steam
steed, conveying man and all the materials of man's
varied business on this great continent fro,n the
ocean's shore to the fresh water seas of the remote
West. It is expected that the Leviathan steamer,
bearing thousands from the Old World, will have
arristed at Portland not long after this great cele
bration, and thus will Americans be called upon
at one and the same time to render hearty homage
(as we are sure they will) to the mechanical genius
of their brethren of the English dominions, as
shown so wondrously in these joint works.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN WATERLOO-
ROAD-THREE LIVES LOST.

This morning, between the hours of four and five o'clock,
a fire of a rapidly destructive character, attended with a
serious loss of property and fatal consequences to three per-
sons, happened in the premises of Mr. J. Burton, wardrobe
dealer, 75, Waterloo-road. The discovery was made by a
policeman seeing smoke issuing through the apertures of
the shop shutters. He immediately sounded an alarm, and
sent off for the Royal Society's fire escapes and the engines
of the London brigade. After some trouble the whole of
the inmates—consisting of Mr. J. Burton, Mrs. E. Burton,
her daughter Mrs. Reid, and Edward Burton—were made
sensible of their danger, when they made an attempt to
descend the staircase, but were met with such powerful
bodies of smoke that they were compelled to retreat, and
make an attempt to escape from the roof. At this moment
a most agonising scene took place, when the smoke and fire
were seen rushing out of the top window, and persons cry-
ing piteously for help. The engines from the Waterloo
station, which is nearly opposite, were promptly on the spot,
as well as those from other stations. There being a plenti-
ful supply of water the firemen went to work in an ad-
mirable manner. As soon as the fire was sufficiently got
under Mr. R. Henderson, district foreman, accompanied by
two other firemen, went in search of the missing bodies.
In the third floor front, under the window, was found Ed-
ward Burton, aged 12 years ; in the gutter was Mrs. Eliza
Burton, aged 48, and in her lap lay her daughter, Mrs.
Reid, aged 27. It being a slanting roof they had nothing
to take hold of but twe high walls on each side. Mr.
Burton made his escape from the back, and supposed his
family was out of danger. Shells were procured, and the
bodies taken to Lambeth workhouse, there to await an in-
quest. The origin of the fire is at present unknown. The
loss will fall on the Phcenix and other offices.

MAsONRY.

Three millions of cubic feet of masonry in the Vic-
toria Bridge That is to say, if turned into lineal
measure, it would reach 510 miles, or as a solid
would form a pyramid 215 feet high, having a base
of 215 feet square. These figures will give some idea
of the solidity of the structure, and the warrant that
exists for its endurance for alitime. The stone itself
is mostly quarried from Point Claire, and forms the
first in the series of lower Silurian, and is known by
the geological term of chazy, resting immediately
on the calciferous sand rock and the Potsdam sand-
stone. At Point Claire very extensive quarries have
been in operation since 1853, and the engineer stu-
dent will be well repaid by visiting them, for stones
are taken out in as large masses as in any quarry
in the world. We see the proof of this fact in the
dimensions of the piers—the courses being 3 feet 10
inches and 3 feet to 2 feet 6 inches to above water
level, and thence verging into a course 18 inches
under the plates, being in length from 7 to 12 feet.
One course of ashlar of 3 feet 10 inches was exa-
mined by the writer ; the perimeter of the pier at
this point measured 200 feet. It consists of 32 stones,
the lightest of these weighing 7 tons, the heaviest
17 ; the average weight of the whole was 101 tons.
Such work may indeed be termed Cyclopean.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other aqually flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
parses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms• of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

REF--O.A.I.IIIEETING AT KE2

Lastevening a meeting took place
Tavern, Kennington, Which was atti
wards pf 2,000 persons, for the purp
into consideration the
,objects of the
Bill. The members for the borough,

and Mr. W. Williams, were present.

Mr. F. DOULSTON was called to the chair, and
said the question which called them together was
one that ought to live in the hearts of every Eng-
lishman. The bill now before the house was an
imposture, u, delusion, and a mockery, especially- to
• working men. The measure professed to extend
the franchise, but it did not do so, and he .called
upon them not to be led away by it, and he hoped
that such -a universal voice would be raised against
the obnoxious bill as would insure its defeat.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS then rose, amidst loud cheer-
ing, and in the course of his address, said he should
oppose the measure to the last. (Cheers.) •
Mr. W. ItourELL also addressed the meeting,
and said he was especially itgerested in the present
question, and was surprised at the unfair endeavours
to introduce such a bill.. (Hear.) It was not only,
a complicated scheme, but a direct insult to the
working classes. The working classq were not
thought of iri the bill, but would suffer severely
were such a measure passed. He repudiated the
bill, and would oppose it to the utmost.
Mr. GRADY moved, " That the bill prepared by -
Government, professedly to amend the laWs relating
to the representation of the people, does not respond
to the just requirements of any portion of reformers
in the country, inasmuch as it disqualifies a whole
class of intelligent and independent county voters, •
no less than 100,000 in number, refuses to disfran-
chise a single small, corrupt, or dependent consfi-;
tueney, does not attempt to redress the notoriously-
inadequate representation of many large boroughs,. ,
does not provide for the voter in the exercise.ofhis
franchise the protection of the ballot, and delibe-
rately
rejects the claims of any portion' of the great .
body.of the industrial population to be admitted to
the rights of citizenship." In the course of a long •
address he pointed out the defects of the bill, and
concluded by calling upon them to reject it.
Mr. F. W.
.GODDARD seeon del the resolution,. .
which was' supported by Mr. MANTEL, and being
put to the meeting, was carried 1-rth loud and-pro-
longed approbation.
. Mr. J. P. MURROUGII moved the adoption- of a -
petition in favour of manhood suffrage, vate, by
ballot, &c., which was carried, and the vast assern- r
blage, who had behaved throughout with the
greatest order, having passed a vote of thanks, to
the chairman, dispersed.

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

Lord J. RUSSELL csaid—On the motion for the second
reading of the bill to ame ad the representation of the people,
I will move an amendment, of the terms of which I shall
give notice to-morrow.

JURIES (IRELAND) BILL. •
On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Lord NAAS said the Government would not oppose the
second reading of the bill, but as they intended to bring in a
bill almost similar, he suggested that the hon. member who
brought forward the present measure should postpone its
further stage until both bills could be laid before the house.
After a few words from Colonel FRENCH,

Mr. J. D. FliiorhitA.LD said he would agree to post-
Pone the committal of the bill. till this day fortnight, in
order to meet the views of the noble lord.
The bill was then read a second time.
CHURCH RATES BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
, Sir J. TRELAWNY moved as an amendment that the
bill be read a second time this day six months. He
strongly objected to the principles and details of this bill;
which he considered faulty in various particulars. He
thought the provisions with reference to ownership and
the constitution of the incumbent and churchwardens into
a corporation was very objectionable He did not see any
necessity for the alteration in those points tb.at had been
introduced in the present measure. This 'Dill not only
tended to perpetuate agitation on the subject of church
rates, but actually to create agitation in districts where it
did not at present exist. He thought that that objection
was fatal to the bill, but it could be romedi ad by the right
hon. gentleman who introduced the bill. One of the great
evils of church rates was that they imposed upon Dissenters
the obligation of paying not only for the parish church but
0.150 for their own places of worship--at least that was their
Practical operation. The number of pews provided by the
church of England was 5 000 000 while the Dissenters

supplied the community with nearly 5,006,000 seats. The
Country should, therefore, feel very grateful to the

YO UTHFUL MINERS.

I remember one morning, after our mill was at
Work, seeing two children loitering about the
engine-house, with bags on their backs. At first I
thought it was curiosity, but, observing that the
elder made one or two efforts to engage my atten-
tion, I inquired " what he wanted," when, in a
silent, cautious way, the wily mannikin asked leave
to use a pestle and mortar that was kept in the
canvas workshop for testing quartz samples. I gave
the child permission, but insteadof instantly avail-
ing himself of it, I remarked that he and his com-
rade waited until the dinner hour, when the car-
penter was sure to be absent and even then they
entered upon their little business with a degree
of wary circumspection that made me femininely
curious. So after a short lapse of time, making a
slight circuit, I camenoiselessly to the tent entrance,
and found this pair of Lilliputian miners laboriously
at work, pounding quartz pebbles in the mortar.
My entry was a surprise ; but when they peeped
and ascertained that none of the men were approach.
ing, they became re-assured, without, however en-
tering upon any explanation or confession, until I
put the mortar on edge towards the light and saw
its glittering contents. The elder child then
told me, with reluctant candour, that he and his
mate, when at play the other day, found a " little
quartz reef with a lot of gold in it, and, without
telling father or mother, they picked out the
two little bagfuls, and came round to the mill by a
back gully, for fear anybody should get upon the
scent' * * * According to my estimate, the
two parcels of stuff they had with them would not
have weighed together much over 201 b., certainly
not 301 b. * Anxious to ascertain the re-
sult, I took the pestle, and pounded the remainder
in a short time, and made them carry the produce
up to my private tent, when to my astonishment I
ascertained that it reached within a few penny-
weights of 131 b. of pure gold, or—" oh, ye gods
and little fishes !"—within a fraction of the money
value represented by £624.—Life in Victoria in
1853 and 1858. By W. Kelly, Esq.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam-
bridge and the Princess Mary honoured the Countess of
Clarendon with their company last night, at her ladyship's
" reception" in Grosvenor-crescent. Colonel Home Purves
Was in attendance on their royal highnesses. A small
circle were present to meet the illustrious visitors.
FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning a fatal
accident occurred to a man named William Baker, aged
thirty years, who resided in Thames-street. It appears
that the deceased went to drown a cat at Southwark-bridge,
when he slipped from one of the barges and fell in, and,
being rapidly hurried away by the current, was drowned
before assistance could arrive.

SARDINIA.

The Opinione of Turin thus comments on the
pacific note published in the Moniteur
" This note says that if negotiation does not
attain the desired end, and Austria attacks, as
seems to be her intention, the Emperor Napoleon,
firm in his alliance with Sardinia, will appear before
Europe, not as inciting to disturbance, but as a
vindicator of international right, and as a protector
of the peace of Europe. The responsibility of war
will rest with Austria, who attacks, and not with

Piedmont, nor with the Imperial Government o
France, who is united with Piedmont by a commu
nity of opinion and national interests."
