The prisoners were fully committed for trial.

LAMBETH.—Benjamin Bonnet, a middle aged
man, in the garb of a mechanic, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of attempting
self-murder by swallowing a dose of laudanum.
Police-constable Lewis Bat'y, 314 P, deposed
that this morning he was called off his heat to the
residence of the prisoner in Weymouth-street, Wal-
worth, and on going into his room his mother said
that he had taken laudanum for the purpose of de-
srroying him-elf. The prisoner admitted that he
had done so, and said he much regretted he had not
taken a greater quarstiT, and his mo, her informed
him (witness) that he had been drinking for two or
three days. He took the prison rto the station-
house, and charged him with attempting to destroy
himself, and it was found that by keeping him
walking ab ,ut there was no necessity for a doctor.
The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said his
mind was in such a state from the effect of drink
that he scarcely knew what he did.
Re was remanded for a week.

THAMES.—Mr. James Golding, the Reeretary
of the committee of the People's Suhstniption Band,
waited o❑ Mr. Selfe with a deputation, and said
that on the last performance of the band in Via
toria-park, eight guineas were collects d from the
people assembled by the sale of programmes and
tickets. It was intended to present the same to
the Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, near the en-
trance of the Victoria-park, and it was refused by
t'le committee of the hospital, on the ground of
disapproval of Sunday bands of music in toe parks
The money was next offered to Queen Adelaide's
Dispensary, in Bethnal-green, and was refused by
the commit ee of thst charity on similar grounds.
The committee of the People's Subscription Bind
then determined to divide the money b -tween the
Thames and Worship-street Police-courts, and he
had now respectfully to tender four guineas for the
poor-b9x of the court.
Mr. Selfe would most cheerfully accept of the
money, and was much obliged to the deputation.
The poor were very much indebted to the committee
for their subscription. He did not care where the
money came from; so long as it was honestly ob-
tained.

Mr. Golding—lt was obtained by the sale of
programmes of the music ; and we should have ob-
tained at least 201. for charitable purposes, if the
committee of the Hospital for diseases of the Chest
had not adopted the ungenerous proceeding of cau-
tio❑ing people not to give money. •
Mr. Selfe—l have nothing whatever to do with
that. I shall gladly accept your money, but I say
nothing of the propriety or impropriety of playing
music in the parks on Sunday afternoons. I give
no opinion at all.

THE SUN,

MUSIC.

ST. MARTIN'S-HALL.

Last evening Mr. Hullah commenced his annual series
of sacred concerts with Mendelssohn's St. Paul, which
was performed in a manner which we have seldom, and
in some respects never heard excelled. Mr. Hullab's
orehestra is better this season than it has ever been,
both in power and quality. The numbers of the orches-
tra and chorus were so well balanced, and the instru-
mental effects were so subdued and delicate, without
being enfeebled, that Mendelssohn's sublime choral har-
monies were strengthened and embellished without
being, as is too often the case, overwhelmed by a mass
of loud instrumental sound. The solo parts, too, were
excellently sustained. Mlle. de Villa, has a soprano
voice of the finest quality, sings exquisitely in tune, has
a pure and finished style, and in all she does shows taste,
intelligence, and feeling. Miss Palmer, the contralto, is
well known at Mr. Hullah's concerts, and a deserved
favourite with his audience. Mr. Allan Irving, who
sustained the bass part, is a singer of great merit. The
whole performance was received by a large audience
with expressions of the warmest approbation.

DARING STREET /1011BERT.--RiChRT4 Mint, a boy
aged 14 years, who said he was a shoemaker, and gave
his addr..,ss, No. 20, Great Gar len-stre(A, Whitechapel,
was brought up on remand charged with stealing a car-
pet-bag, eontaining diamonds, surgical instruments and
other property value 1301.
It appeared that on Tuesday last, a Mrs. Ellen Hyde,
a lady residirg at No. 5, Clarendon-terrace, Milton,
next Graysend, came to London on a visit to a gentle.
man Wink wortli-ttinc:?, CORIMCT•
vial-road, Stepney, and was carrying a carpet-bag and a
baud-h: x. Feeling somew int fatigued she called to the
prisoner who v. as standiog in s. dour way in the East
India-road to carry the bag for her. He consented to do
and upon ruching within three or four doors of her
destina'ion she put down the bandbox and gave the
boy 2d. He theh asked her bow much farther she
had to carry the bag, and Mrs. Hyde pointed to the
house, and said "We are close to the place." Directly
afterwards the boy disappeared from her side, and
upon looking round. she. saw. him passing into Dal-
gleish-street, on the north side of the real. She was
unable to pursue him, and remained on the spot until
she met with a police-constable named John Chadwick,
No, 350 K, to whom she mentioned her loss, Chad-
wick immediately recollected that, he had met two,
one of whom was carrying a carpet hag, and walking
behind two gentlemen in the Commercial-road, as he
was turning out of Arbour-terrace, after leaving this
court. Chadwick immediately retraced his steps, jumped
into a butcher's cart, and requested the driver to
proceed to London as quickly a, possible. The butcher
drove at a tremendous pact, and the policeman fortu-
nately came up with the boy near Naibitechapel Church,
jumped out of the cart and secured the boy with the
carpet bag and all its valuable co, tents in his possession.
A lad who was with him ma le his escape. Chadwick said that sitice"'he last hearing of the case
be had made inquiries about the prisoner, who bad
cPrpet-
given a false address, and did not live in Great Garden-
street. The contents of the • valued at
- wars
1301.

Mr. Selfe—The boy ail tot know the value of the
contents of the bag when he stole it. Ilas ho been here
bef”re!

R:)che, the gaoler of the court, replied, be has been
convicted here of felony.
Mr. SeVe said the prisoner was a very bad boy, and
sentencA him to two month..? imprisonment and hard
labour for the unlawful posseFsion of the carpet-bag and
its contents.

appeared in a very excited state. He went to the
Iprisoner, who was exclaiming, "Me Sepoy. Me
killt-d oury is;ster ; me killed your sis.er's child."
He (comtAbl•-) was obliged to take h in info cue-
tody for his own safety. Had he nit &no so he
believed t le prisoner wouil h ive b, en ki4ed.
The Magistrate (to the prisoner)—What have
you to say ?
Prisoner—Some b iys followed me, calling out,
"There goes a Sepoy." Me said, "Me no :Sepoy.
Me no Sepoy." lam not a Sepoy, air.
The Magistrate (to the constable)—Did you hear
any one call him a Sepoy ?
Constable—No, sir. The prisoner repeatedly
shouted out "Me Sepoy, me Sepoy." There were
. between 700 and 800 persons around him. Many
used very threatening language towards the pri-
soner. some of them had sticks, and were about
to use them.

The Magistrate—Was he drunk ?
Constahle—He had been drinking.
The Magistrate—l shall discharge you now. You
must not cause such a disturbance again, or you
may receive some very serious injury.
The prisoner thanked his worship, and left the
court.

MARYLEBONE.—John Marks, coach builder,
Bell-street, Edgware-road, Samuel Marks, his
brotter, and Abraham Simmoncls were again
brought up on the charge of fraudulently disposing
of property subsequently to a fiat of bankruptcy
against the first-named prisoner. The previous
examinations have been given at considerable length
in our paper.
After some father evidence,
Mr. Solomons observed that between 4,0001. and
5,0001. had been paid into the Court of Bankruptcy
to the credit of the bankrupt.
Mr. George Butl r, an accountant in the case of
bankruptcy in question, gave evidence to the eff-et
that admitting John arks's statement which he
had made was correct as to the property, there
was still a deficiency of 6,629/. 17s. 9d. which had
not as yet been traced.

MR. HOWARD, burgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-

perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-

GREECE.

The question of the succession to the throne of
Greece appears, from the following letter addressed
from St. Petersburg to the Constitutionnel, to have
been brought under the notice of the Emperor of
Russia at Stuttgard by the Queen of Greece :
" It i 3 known that Queen Amelia of Greece :ix-
, rived at Stuttgart slating the meeting of the Eat-
perors of the French and of Russia, and we learn
front a good source that her Majesty took advantage
of the oc:.iasioo to sheik with the Czar Alexander
on the affair of the succession to the Greek throne.
King Otho having no hope of having children, the
succession goes to his brothers ; but they refuse to
submit to the condition laid down in the Greek
constitution, and in the protocol of London, signed
by the protecting powers and by Bavai is, that the
King of Greece shall be of the orthodox Greek re-
ligion. Queen Amelia accordingly proposed that
her youngest brother, Eliwar of Oldenburg, who
is 13 years of age, should be accepted in their
place. Her Majesty's proposition, which was con-
fidentially mad', gave rise to no special conference
between the Empe.or of Russia and the Emperor
of the French, as the matter will not demand the
intervention of the protecting powers for some time
to Come."

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, OCT. 19.

In the evening of Saturday the principal credi•
tors of Boscovitz and Co. had a second meeting
with the representatives of the Credit Bank, and
after a short discussion the following arrangement
was made :-1. The Credit Bank engages to al-
vanCe from 30 to 50 per cent. on all bills bearing
the signature of Boscovitz and Co. ; that is, one-
third or one-half of the amount of the bill will be
advanced to the creditors on his cementing to
leave it as security in the hands of the Cree:t
Bank. 2. Each creditor gives a written pro-
mise to the Credit Bank that, if the affairs of
the bankrupts are not wound up within six
months, or if the proceeds of their estate are not.
equal to their debts, he will pay to the Bank
that part of the amount of the bill for which
it has no security. 3. The Credit Bank advances
money to the amount of 1,000,000 d., and, besides,
undertakes to mediate betwePti the bitrikrupts and
th •ir creditors. 4. As the papers strorgh-
oijected to the original preposition of the Credii
Batik, that its claims on the estate of the bAili-
rupts should have right of precoduro and be
discharged in fall, that institution expressed its
willingness to take its chance with the other
creditors rf they consented to pay 2 per cent. for
the money advanced, This last proposition was

port,, accompanied the River Tyne Improvement
Commissioners on Tuesday upon au inspection of
the extensive pier works in progress at the mouth
of the Tyne. The piers will be carried ii,to a depth
of 15 feet, and about 1,000 feet beyond Spar-Hank,
the seaward limit of the jurisdiction of the commis-
sioners. The funds for the execution of the work
are raised by a tonnage rate on shipping-Id. per
ton upon coasting vessels, and 2d. per ton-upon
foreign, up to a certain point. The commissioners
have also Parliamentary powers to borrow 200,0001.
upon the security of the rates, powers that they
lave not yet exercised. The south pier will be 4,200
feet long, and the width between the two piers will
be 1,100 feet. The River Commissioners are just
completing one extensive dock in the harbour, and
have procured Parliamentary powers to build an-
other. The North-Eastern Railway Company are
building a large dock on the Tyne ; those
when completed will relieve the harbour of
vessels taking in cargoes. The enormous trade
of the port is shown by the fact that last
year 27,294 vessels, with cargoes amounting
to 3,940,033 tons, were cleared inward and
outward from the Tyne, and the more especial
object of the inspection of Tuesday was to point
out, to the tonal members the advantages that would
accrue to the trade of the district if the Govern-
ment were assisting the commissioners to carry the
piers into 25 or 30 feet water, and thus make the
Tyne a harbour of refuge. Down to the present
time, though the Tyne, Tees, and Wear have
100,000 vessels entering them annually—one-sixth
of the trade and tonnage of the whole kingdom--
no great national work has been undertaken be-
tween Flamborongh Head and the Frith of Forth
for a harb tar of refuge for shipping in a gale of
wind. Captain Washington, R.N., Captain Vietch,
R.N., Lieutenant Calver, RN., and other Ad-
miralty authorities, are in favour of Hartlepool as
the best site for such a work ; but the River Tyne
Commissioners argue that their river is the best
And easiest of access of any bar Barbour in the
kingdom ; that in a gale of wind masters of vessels
will make every effort to get to the port they are
bound for, or whence they have sailed ; and that it
would be better to improve the existing harbours
than make new ones, and in doing so to commence
with the last first. On a former occasion the:liver
Tyne Commissioners offered to lay down a pound
for every pound that might be advanced by the
Government, and they seem determined that next
session of Parliament they will have their case fairly
brought before the country.

appeared in a very excited state. He went to the
prisoner, who was exclaiming, "Me Sepoy. Me
killed your sister ; me killed your sister's child."
He (con-table) was obliged to take h.m into cus-
tody for his own safety. Had he n.:t done so he
believed the prisoner would have been killed.
The Magistrate (to the prisoner)—What have
you to say ?
Prisoner—Some boys followed me, calling out,
" There goes a Sepoy." Me said, "Me no Sepoy.
Me no Sepoy." lam Lot a Sepoy, sir.
The Magistrate (to the constable)—Did you hear
any one call him a Sepoy ?
Constable—No, sir. The prisoner repeatedly
shouted out "Me Sepoy, me Sepo)." There were
between 700 and 800 persons around him. Many
used very threatening language towards the pri-
soner. Some of them Lad sticks, and.were about
to use thew.

The Magistrate—Was he drunk ?
Constable—He had been drinking.
The Magistrate—l shall discharge you now. You
must not cause such a disturbance again, or you
may receive some very serious injury.

The prisoner thanked his worhiP, and left the
court.

MARYLEBONE.—John Marks, coach builder,
Bell-street, Edgware-road, Samuel Marks, his
brother, and Abraham Simmonds were again
brought up on the charge of fraudulently disposing
of property subsequently to a fiat of bankruptcy
against the first-named prisoner. The previous
examinations have been given at considerable length
in our paper.

After some father evidence,
Mr. Solomons observed that between 4,0001. and
5,0001. had been paid into the Courtof Bankruptcy
to the credit of the bankrupt.
Mr. George Butl r, an accountant in the case of
bankruptcy in question, gave evidence to the eff ct
that admitting John Marks's statement which he
had made was correct as to the property, there
was still a deficiency of 6,6291. 17s. 9d. which had
not as yet been traced.

WYLD'S GLOBE-DIORAMA OF INDIA.

This most instructive and entertaining of the exhibi-
tions of London has never yet received in a single day
such a 'large number of visitors, not less than 10,000
persons having attended the different lectures and diora
mas at various portions of the day. The magnificent
Indian Diorama was 'of course the great feature of
attraction. The Indian Diorama shows first a general
view of Lucknow from the river Goomty, &c., a series
of views of old Delhi, a general view of modern Delhi,
its fortifications and environs, from the English can-
tonments—including the Chandne Choak, or principal
street, and the scene of the insurrection, native bazaars,
and other scenes of great interest. The grand palace and
gardens of the old Kings of Delhi, the great Selimghur
Fort, and the glorious and successful attack on Delhi,
bring the diorama to a successful close. The principle
scenes and events are lucidly explained by lectures. The
view of Russia and Turkey, lectures on physical and
other features of geography, illustrated by the Great
Globe, divided with the Indian Diorama the attention of
visitorsl

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.—The exuberance
of the feelings amid scenes of gaiety induces the fair ani
youthful to shine to advantage under the gaze of many friends, and
therefore to devote increased attention to the duties of the Toilet.
It is at this festive season that
ROWLANDS' AUXILIARIES OF HEALTH AND BEAI7TY

are more than usually essential, viz.,
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL,

For imparting a transcendaut lustre to the Hair, and sustaining it in

decorative charm.

Bestows on the Teeth a pearl-like whiteness, and renders the Breath

The Patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, their general use by
rank and fashion, and the universally known efficacy ofthese at ticles
give them a celebrity unparalleled, and render them peculiarly
ELEGANT AND SEASONABLE PRESENTS.

MALWA.

•
We gave in our last tidings of the outbreak at
Mehidpoor, in which Captain Mills and Dr. Carey
were slain on the rising of part of the contingent.
Brigadier Stuart's column was then moving ra-
pidly in this direction. On the 11th the cavalry,
under Major Orr, occupied Mehidpoor, the rebels
having left the previous day. On the 12th he
marched out with 337 men of the Ist, 3d, and
4th Hyderabad Cavalry, and overtook the insur-
gents to the number of 500, with two guns, at
Rawul, where they had resolved to make a stand.
They were immediately attacked and dispersed
by our cavalry, who cut up above a hundred
of them, two nine-pounder guns, with a large
number of carts loaded with ordnance stores,
baring captured. In the course of tha pursuit,
the enemy abandoned the three guns they had
taken at Mehidpoor, with two others of large
calibre, seized by them at Burnuggur. Our casual-
ties were inconsiderable ; Lieutenant Samuells
was dangerously wounded, and Captains Murray
and Clarke had their horses shot under them.
The enemy were dispersed in all directions ; 76
prisoners were taken, and tried four days after-
wards by drumhead court-martial at Mehidpoor,
and shot, as having been found in the field against
us. On the 11th part of the force crossed the
Chumbul and encamped on the other side, two
marches from Mundesore. Some 8,000 rebels
were said to have taken up a position in this
neighbourhood. On the 21st, the enemy attacked
our left front and threatened our right. They were
driven into Mundesore with heavy loss. The
cavalry pursued Heera Singh, with his horsemen,
and drove them into a village about ten milea
from Muudesore, on the Neemuch road, where
the rebel force appeared in strength, and showed
its standards. On the 23d Stuart's main column
marched in this direction, and found the enemy
advancing to meet them. They took up a posi-
tion, with the strong village of Goorareea in their
centre, overlapping very considerably both our
flanks. The guns on their left centre having
been silenced by our artillery, were captured by
her Majesty's 14th Light Dragoons. They were
now driven from their principal position with
heavy loss, a body of them not the less continuing
obstinately to maintain a portion of the village.
While engaged in front,*the garrison of Mundesore
sallied out and attacked our rear, but were repulsed
by the rear-guard. On the 24th the rebels
abandoned Mundesore in the course of the
night, and retired on Nagurb, in the direc-
tion of Rampoora. The casualties of the four
days were—Lieutenant Redmayne, 14th Lighi
Dragoons, killed ; and 8 rank and file wounded.
Lieutenant James, severely wounded in the arm ;
Lieutenant, Martin, severely wounded in the leg ;
Lieutenant Prendergast, slightly wounded, and
four other officers slightly. Sixty-eight rank and
file of other corps were killed and wounded.

NEEMUCH.

Ono of the centres 'of disturbance for many
months past has been Neemuob, a town in the
Gwalior territory, with a British cantonment, on
the north-west border of Malwa. The post,
though not large, is one of much importance, and
has from time to time been occupied by Bombay
and Bengal troops alternately, occasionally by
both together. Of late it has been lightly garri-
soned, and long and heavily beset by danger from
without. In the beginning of the month from
2,000 to 3,000 insurgents had mustered under
the walls, with a view of attacking the fort, at
this time unusually weak in troops. The garrison,
with the exception of the cavalry, were completely
besieged, and compelled to abandon the canton-
ments and fortify themselves in the square. They
had fortunately a sufficiency of provisions, held
well together, and experienced no apprehension of
their position—often half the battle in cases of
siege. The fire of the enemy did them little
harm, while few of our shots were thrown away ;
strange to tell, our own former cantonmente
afforded the principal shelter for the insurgents.
On the 21st the Mundesore rebels attempted to
escalade the 'place, but were beaten off with such
heavy loss that they withdrew altogether on
the following day. During the fortnight's siege
two European officers and four Sepoys had
been wounded, none of them severely—the 12th
Bombay Native Infantry in particular conducted
themselves nobly. On the 22d the rebels were
attacked and defeated by Stuart's column, driven
from point to point, with, the less of all their guns,
and the neighbourhood effectually relieved of the
annoyance of their presence.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING.
THE GREAT SLANDER CASE.
The evidence for the defence has at length closed,
and the wearied public are respited from the flood
of talk until Monday next, when the campaign
will be re-opened by the speeches of Messrs. Arm-
strong and M'Donough on the part of their sepa-
rate clients. The "beginning of the end" of some
sweeping change in the conduct of business in the
Irish law-courts by which public time will be
economised is not indistinctly predicted in the fol-
lowing conversation, which ensued before the rising
of the Court on. Wednesday
;
"Some of the jurors said they would prefer sitting on
the day before Christmas, if the case could be finished
by that means.
" Mr. Whiteside observed that the remaining evidence
in the case might be disposed of in another day,-and then
there could bean adjournment for the concluding speeches.
" Mr. M'Donough expressed a hope that the adjourn-
ment would be arranged so that one of the two speeches
would not be made before and the other alter it.
"The Chief Baron said he would take care to deal
fairly with the parties in that respect. "
"A Juror—The only injured parties in the entire are
the jury. I think if the supplies were stopped there soon
would be an end of the ca.e."

The pantomime here, " Harlequin Novelty ; or, The
Princess who lost her Heart, is from the pen of Mr.
Leicester Buckingham. It is full of satire, and is also
well crammed with puns—some good and some so exe-
crably bad as, the business being to excite mirth and
laughter, to be much better than the good ones. The
performers seemed to enter with much spirit into their
parts, but it would be unjust Not to mention Miss Craven
as an excellent Columbine, and Herr Keit as a Sprite
likely, by hie extraordinary agility, to throw most clowns

TEE IRLSH SEPOYS.

The Irish sepoy gazettes are reduced to the
lowest depths of despair by the harrowing intelli-
gence of the safety of the garrison of Lucknow.
There is, however, some " balm in Gilead," and
one of those faithful exponents of public feeling (the
Kilkenny Journal) consoles itself with the reflec-
tion that though "the white pinmesare now dancing
over many a homestead in England and Ireland,"
yet " but a little while, and we shall see the hearse
and the corpse, and hear the groans of broken
hearts." " As for the struggle itself," devoutly adds
the sympathetic organ, " may God defend the
right l"
