MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PERSONATING A CHECK-TAKER.—AN ARTFUL TRICK.
M'lntosh, a lad in the employ of a music
printer, in Soho, was charged with obtaining three checks,
at the Soho Theatre, Dean-street, by false pretences, in the
following artful manner :
M

_rs. Charlotte Eliza Brooks, of 81, Pratt-street, Somers-
Awn, said that between eight and nine, on the previous
night, she went to the Soho Theatre, with her two children,
and having paid 31 the door, and received three checks, she
was proceeding upstairs, and on reaching the first landing
the accused, who was standing there, said in rather an au-
thorative manner, and assuming the style of a regular
check-taker, " Checks, checks," and, believing he was
the proper person, she at once handed them to him,
and on reaching the next landing her progress was stopped
by another demand for her checks, and she then found she
had been defrauded. Having spoken to the constable on
duty, and given him a description of the accused, he was
shortly after (on presenting the check for admission) taken
into custody—two other lads having previously gone in
with the other checks.
Police-constable 61 C proved being on duty at the
theatre and taking accused into custody from the informa-
tion of the witness, and on charging him with the fraud he
said he bought them in the street of a boy, but although he
gave him a chance of pointing him out by taking him into
the street he could not Jo so.
Mr. Bingham said he would remand him till Saturday,
taking his master's bail for his appearance.

SARDINIA.

The Diritto of Turin announces that the first
medal struck at Paris in commemoration of the
Italian war has been sent by the Emperor of the
French to King Victor Emmanuel.
At the dinner given on the 26th ult. by the
municipality of Turin to the deputation of that of
Milan, after the usual toasts to Napoleoii 111,
Victor Emmanuel, and the allied armies, others
were drunk to Central Italy, to Venice, and to
Count Cavour. The latter was worded as follows :
"To him who, being called to the Ministerial
chair in Piedmont, was the first after 1839 to
adopt a really Italian policy ; to him who, send-
ing the (Italian) tricolour to Tausida, caused it to
spread its lustre before the eyes of Europe; to him
whe, at the Congress of Monarchs at Paris, stepped
forward the first to uphold the Italian cause; to
him who, in the silence of the Cabinet, prepared all
for a third war of Liberty, concluding a new alli
ance with the Sovereign of France ; to him who,
though he has resigned his powers (for a time only,
it is to be hoped), lives for ever in the heart of
whosoever loves Italian independence. To Camillo
Cavour, immortal honour and glory !"

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

A fair average number of beasts was on offer in to-day's
market, in very middling condition. Most breeds were in
improved request, at fully Monday's quotations. The show
of sheep was very moderate, and the mutton trade ruled
somewhat active. In some instances, prices had an upward
tendency—prime Downs having sold at 5s 4d por 81bs. We
had a fair demand for lambs, at fully Monday's currency.
There was an active inquiry for calves, and prices further
advanced 2d per 81bs. Pigs and Mikh cows moved off
steadily, at extreme rates.

TEE INDIA LOAN.

The average price at which the new India Loan
has been taken is a little over 971- per cent., viz.,
£97 3s. 21. Regarding the loan as redeemable at
par ten years hence, this price shows an annual re-
turn of £5 7s. 6d. per cent. The delay in the pay-
ment of the instalments, however, whilst the full
dividend is accruing, brings the average subscrip-
tion price down really to about 951, which during
ten years represents a return of £5 11 s. 2d. per
cent. per annum. This is the real cost to the Indian
Government of the present loan. It is luite reason•
able to regard this as a loan for ten years, the pr'
bability being that by the expiration of that term
the state of the Indian 'finances will either be much
improved—in which case the holders will be paid
off—or so greatly embarrassed that the grant of the
imperial guarantee will have become inevitable.
The successful bids for the Indian Loan, from 97
per cent. upwards, have been published. The sub-
joined list of the rejected tenders is interesting, as
showing that, had the Council of India fixed their
reserved price 1 per cent. lower, viz., at £96, in-
stead of the limit judiciously decided upon, an ad-
ditional sum of two millions would have been
secured, in addition to the surplus of £824,750,
which, though tendered at £97, was rejected. The
amount of the unsuccessful bids between £96 and
£96 10s, both inclusive, was £1,369,500, and be-
tween £96 and £96 17s. 6d., £2,002,000.

THE INDIA LOAN.—The settlement in the scrip
of the India loan and also of the Russian loan is fixed for

Monday. Thelndia scrip is now ready for delivery, and
may be written into the Bank books to-day, and transferred
like any other stock on Saturday. It might be transferred
even on Friday on payment of an exceptional fee of ss. per
£l,OOO. It appears that the average of the prices at which
the India loan was taken is £97 3s. 2d. The rejected ten-
ders, which ranged from 95 to 961, including more than
half a million at 96, and nearly three-quarters of a million
at about 961, amounted to £2,164,500 which, with £824,750
in excess at 97, shows the total of unsuccessful applications
to have been £2,989,250. The amount of the India loan
paid up in full yesterday was about £700,000.

THE INDIA LOAN.—The settlement in the scrip
of the India loan and also of the Russian loan is fixed for
Monday. The India scrip is now ready for delivery, and
may be written into the Bank books to-day, and transferred
like any other stock on Saturday. It might be transferred
even on Friday on payment of an exceptional fee of ss. per
£l,OOO. It appears that the average of the prices at which
the India loan was taken is £97 3s. 2d. The rejected ten-
ders, which ranged from 95 to 96A, including more than
half a million at 96, and nearly three-quarters of a million
at about 961, amounted to £2,164,500 which, with £824t750
in excess at 97, shows the total of unsuccessful applications
to have been £2,989,250. The amount of the India loan
paid up in full yesterday was about £700,000.

did not lift her hands to Mrs. Curry. I don't know
what caused Mrs. Curry's daughter to blackguard
Mrs. Anderson. Mrs. Curry seemed to be in a gre"
passion when she came up to the deceased.
Jane Wigharn—l am a widow, and live in Ney!
Pa n don-street. On Monday aftern oo A I was stand-
ing at Mrs. Anderson's door, when I heard a shriek,
I ran along the passage, and saw Mrs. Curry an
her daughter standing at the top of the stairs. T
a
said, " You villain, you have killed the won3an,
and I immediately ran do*n stairs to help Mrs'
Anderson. Her head was lying against the wail,
and the blood was Hewing from a wound on ller
head. She began to vomit blood after I lifted her
up. She never spoke after she fell. I was not
present when the deceased died.
Catherine McGuire gave similar evidence to that
of Mrs. Swinburne.
Matthew Johnson, a slater, said he was sitting in
his father's house, in New Pandon-street, ou Man-
day evening, about six o'clock, and, on hearing
noise, looked out of the window, and saw
Elizabeth Curry and her daughter. The daughter told-hear
.
mother that the old woman, meaning the deceasea,
was going to strike her. Mrs. Curry then ran for-
ward, called Mrs. Anderson an old faggot, and gavi,
her a drive off the top of the which caused
e deceased to fall from the top to the bottom.
Mrs. Curry then went away into her own yard'
Mary Weightman—l live in Back Trafalgar-
street, and was sent for to see the deceased on 31(.3117_
day evening. She had a very severe wound on honer
head, and she died at 20 minutes to seven on
,tne,
same night. Dr. Rayne's assistant-visited the de'
ceased, but she died about a quarter of an hour after
he arrived.

This was the last witness called, and the coroner
then directed the jury's attention to the difference
of a murder committed deliberately and with pre-
meditation, and the offence with which Mrs. Curry
was charged. He said the circumstances of the pre-
sent case were such that they could not bring in a
verdict of wilful murder, but simply that of man"
slaughter.
The jury, after a short delibenlition, returned an
unanimous verdict of manslaughter against Eliza-
beth Curry.

the London Brigade fire-engine with the applica-
tion of steam power, instead of manual labour. It
is mounted on high wheels, springs, and forelocking
carriage, and is built for rapid transit by horses ;
is fitted with box to contain hose and implements,
having driving seat and space for firemen, and has
poles on which to suspend the suction-pipes, thus
carrying the firemen and all the hose and imple•
ments in or upon it. The extreme outside dimen-
sions are as follows :—Length, 12ft. 6in. ; width,
6ft. sin. ; height, Bft. 2in., without chimney. Like
the London brigade engine it can be worked with
suction-pipe, or water may be drawn from the
cistern which forms part of the engine. The
steam cylinder and the pumps are made entirely of
gut metal, and the valves of india-rubber. The
boiler is of the upright tubular construction,
affording ample means for superheating the steam.
There are 199 brass tubes, 1 in. outside diameter,
and 15in. long. The firebox is of copper, 3ft. 4in.
diameter. The cylinder is 81in. diameter, with
Gin. stroke. One water cylinder is iin. diameter,
with 6in. stroke ; the other 81in. diameter, with
4in. stroke, the two being equal in cubic contents.
The trial yesterday in Woolwich Dockyard com-
menced at two, o'clock, in the presence of Commo-
dore the Hon. James R. Drummond, C. 8., A.D.C.,
superintendent of the yard, and the principal officers
of the establishment. Mr. Braidwood, superin-
tendent of the London Fire Brigade, was likewise
in attendance. The engine fire was lighted at 2.15
and in 10 minutes 201bs. of steam was produced, and
shortly after it commenced working with much
apparent success. A volume of water was thrown
with 651 b. of steam (about one-half of its full
power) to a height of about 80ft. over one of the
sheers on the wharf of the fitting basin, when it
was believed that one of the india-rubber valves
had become displaced, or had sustained some in-

jury, and the trial was postponed to a future day.
Her Majesty's screw steam frigate Ariadne, 32,
built at Deptford, and removed to Woolwich, to
receive her internal fittings, yesterday got up
steam in basin at Woolwich, and worked her en-
gines for several hours. The propeller not being
on it was simply a preliminary test of the machi-
nery, which worked smoothly and in a perfectly
satisfactory manner. The engines are of 800 horse-
power, and were provided by Messrs. Maudslay,
Son, and Field.
Lieut. W. H. Annesley has been appointed ad-
ditional Lieut. to the Royal Albert ; and Mr. G.

Gentleman," " A Life for a Life," Sze.

" We are well pleased with these poems by our popular
novelist. They. are the expression of genuine thoughts, feel-
ings, and aspirations, and the • expression is almost always
graceful, musical, and well-coloured. A high pure tone of
morality pervades each set of verses."—Spectator.

AQUA TICS.

SCULLEILS' RACE FOR £4O.
We some few weeks ago informed our readers that a
match had been mada between Thomas Tagg, of Moulsey,
and Philip Parker, of Kingston, and that it was to come off
on Wednesday, Dec. 28, from the One Tree, at Ham (nearly
a mile below Kingston-bridge), to Hampton Court-bridge,
for £l5 (open for £25) aside. We were at that time in error
in stating that it was Thomas Tagg, jun., who was to row,
for we since find that it was the older Tagg, who is above
40 years of age. He has been, consequently, many years
on the river ; and, besides rowing for Doggett's coat and
badge, and having been engaged in many other races, he has
beaten William Smith, of Kingston, John Platt, of Twick-
enham, and Squires, of Kingston,
twice. His opponent is
much younger, not above 24 or 25 ; consequently the
chances were greatly in favour of a young and strong man
against an opponent 16 or 17 years his senior, and the odds
were on him for that reason, and not because he had won
any races, for we believe his only performances are rowing
twice for the Leander coat and badge and being =success-
ful. The stakes had been raised £5, so that they rowed for
£2O a side yesterday—the fairness of the weather bringing
very many people to witness the race. George Hammertoe
of Teddington, was umpire for Parker ; Kilfayle, of Mous-
ley, for Tagg ; and James Messenger, of Teddingtoni
en-
champion of the Thames, was referee. Both men were in
excellent condition, and went to their posts shortly after
two o'clock. Parker won the toss and took the Middlesex
side, and Tagg, besides having the longest side of the river
before him, had the greaterliart of the wind against him.
Parker, therefore, took the lead, and inch by inch increased
it till, although Tagg rowed very pluckily astern, be al"
mately won the race by several lengths.
