Rout:Frs SO6T.---POYNING9.—On the night of' the
Xi instant, between twel e and one o'cl- ck, the Rev. T. A.
Holland's groom being alarmed by hearing strange noises in
the. back premises. immediately pi oceedeti to the yard, where
he saw a man standing by the gate. On the servant ap-
proaching him, be gave it signal, which resembled the blow-
itig_of a horn, when another man and boy ran from the ben-
roost and climbed over the garden wall. The groom called
out. to.them to stop, and the request not being complied with,
he t4ed at them with Pis gun, when. the boy balked out,
" lie ain't hurt me." Tue groom, however, thinks that
i erne:Mt—the sit6ts hit the man, or that he hurt himself in
getting over the wall, as he distinctly heard exclamations of
pain. The. report of the gun s;,on brought assistance to the
spot; hu-• we regret to state that the fellows, assisted by the
arhrie.a of the..r.ili.,ht succeeded in making good their retreat.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Mr. Peacock, on the part of the Post•office authori-
ties, appeared before Mr. Alderman Gibbs to execute
a summons against the notorious Joseph Ady for
his neglect in paying the postage accruing on 2,280
letters which had been returned to him from the Ge-
neral Post-office.

Ady was called for three times by the summoning
officer, but did not appear.
The ALDERMAN then called— _ _

Mr. Thomas G4labin, who stated that he was a
clerk in the Dead Letter-office, and the whole of the
2,280 letters, returned to Ady, had passed through
his hands, the postage of which amounted to 19/.
Henry Daniels, a letter-earlier, proved having pre-
sented the letters, and also that he had demanded 191.
as postage. Joseph Ady informed the letter-carrier,
in reply to his application for the amount, that he
bad no money to pay for the letters.
The MAGISTRATE ordered that a warrant of dis-
tress should at once issue against Ady for the payment
of the amount.

STRAND THEATRE.

Flexmore's ballet of the. Fays of the Forest bas
proved an attractive hit. The house last night was
crowded, and the several artistes acquitted themselves
with admirable spirit. Cormack and Wright were
vehemently and deservedly applauded. Flextnore,
we understand, has concluded a short engagement
with Mr. Bolton, and will make his bow on Monday
next for a few nights' performances, previous to the
commencement of the approaching season at the
Princess's, where he is to re-appear in all his glory ;
and the bills announce the speedy return of that de-
lightful danseuse, Rosina Wright, to this excellent
Terpsichorean corps.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.

It appears ithat in the year 1842 Mr. Walter Han-
cock, of Stratford, in this county, suggested to Messrs.
Cook and Vv heatstone, the patentees of the electric tele-
graph, the plan, as now adopted, for projecting a sub-
marine telegraph between Dover and Calais, in order to
enable the latter gentlemen to extend the benefit of their
useful invention to the continent of Europe, and subse-
quently to other parts, a desideratum which, no doubt,
will sooner or latter be accomplished. In the first in-
stance, Mr. Hancock proposed seven electric wires to be
coated with India rubber and shale; which formed a
compound suitable for the purpose, but on the introduc-
tion of gutta percha into this country, Messrs. Charles
and Walter Hancock made a series of experiments on
that novel commodity, which they found would answer
the object—in fact, was preferable, from its peculiar
plastic and chemical properties.
The success of these experiments led Mr. Walter Han-
cock, in conjunction with his brother, Mr. Charles Han-
cock, to take out a patent, in 1848, for coating electric
wires with gutta percha and. other substances; and the
machinery necessary for working the patent was con-
structed at Stratford, under the superintendence of Mr.
Walter Hancock who claims (and justly so) to be the
original projector of a submarine telegraph between
Dover and Calais.

The importance of Messrs. Hancock's patent may be
inferred from the fact, that large quantities of the pa-
tented article have been supplied to Mr. Reed, of Uni-
versity-street, London, for the use ef the London Elec-
tric Telegraph Company. We may notice that Mr.
Walter Hancock's name is associated with many im-
portant improvements in steam locomotion, on and sub-
sequent to the year 1824; and from that to the present
period, Mr. Hancock has been before the public as the
projector of many useful inventions in other depart-
eaents of science—in short, his whole life has been de
voted to various inventions connected with the arts and
sciences.—Esser Standard, Sept. 6.

GUILDHALL.

Edward Parker Simpson was brought up before
Alderman Finnis, upon the charge of embezzling the
sum of 251., the money of Mr. Robert Woodward, so-
licitor, of 27, Bouveri2-street, his mv9ter.
He was fully committed to Newgate to await his
trial at the ensuing sessions at the Central Criminal
Court.

Thomas Banks was placed at the bar fur final
examination, charged with obtaining 101. under false
pretences, and with uttering a forged cheque for the
same with a guilty knowledge.
Anne Wallis, barmaid to Mr. J. R. Abbot, of 31,
Coleman-street, stated that on Saturday week last
prisoner came there and presented a cheque, saying
that he came from Mr. Cooper, of the Bankruptcy
Court, and wished to know if Mr. Abbot would have
the kindness to change the cheque for Mr. Cooper.
Witness took the cheque, which was drawn by a Mr.
John Weston on Messrs. Prescott's bank, to Mr. Ab-
bot, who, knowing that gentleman, gave the prisoner
the change directly. Witness knew the prisoner as
being connected in some way with the Bankruptcy
Court. He went away as soon as he had obtained the
change. _ _ _

Ed-ward Champion, clerk to Messrs. Prescott and
Co., stated, that they had no account at their bank
with any przon of the name of Weston.
Henry Alfred, clerk to Mr. James Cooper, of the
Bankruptcy Court, said he was acquainted R ith pri-
soner's hand writing, and he believed the cheque pro-
duced to have been written by the prisoner. lie also
thought the name of " John Weston," wasin the
handwriting of the prisoner.
Prisoner here asked for a further remand for the
purpose of procuring legal assistance.
Alderman FlNNis said .the case was so clear that
there was not the slightest ground to remand it. He
would, therefore, commit him to the Old Bailey for
trial on the above,chargF:7Committed accordingly.

GERMANY.

King OTuo met the Emperor of AUSTRIA and
Count NESSELRODE at Isehl.

The Augsburgh Gazette of the 2,1 gives the follow-
ing Its the result of the conferences at Ischl :
Russia will communicate to the Court of Berlin its
disapproval of the line of policy it has hitherto pur-
sued. PETER, Duke of Oldenburgb, will be nomi-
nated to succeed to the throne of Denmark. Holstein
and Lsuenburgh will continue to form a part of the
Germanic Confederation. Russia will renounce the
right of succe3sion that she has over a part of Hol-
stein (namely, on Kiel) in the case of the accession of
the line of Augustenburgh, which would put it in
possession of the important pert of Kiel. The prin-
cipal question is in what way to compensate the line
of Augustenburgh.
The Austrian Ministers at foreign courts have pre-
sented a note announcing that the limited G,?rtnenic
Diet had been constituted on the 2.1 inst. at Frank-
fort, under the presidency of Austria ; and at the
same time he, the Austrian Envoy, left with the Mi-
nister a copy of the minutes of proceedings, abowing
that the 11 following powers formed a part of the
new confederation : —Austria, -Bavaria, Wurtem-
burgh, Hanover, Saxony, Electoral llesse, Hesse
Darmstadt, Denmark for Holstein, Holland for Lux-
embourgb, Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and Lippe Dat-
mold. _

Prussia and her allies had refused to take any part
in the proceedings of the new Diet, and would not
recognise it in any way whatever.
On the other hand, Austria and the other members
of the Diet bad signified their determination to make
their resolutions and acts respected, even by force of
arms. _ _

The Assembly of the States of Hesse Cassel was
dissolved on the 2d inst.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Tee Schleswig Holstein Assembly is summoned to
meet on Monday next, at Kiel.
No change has taken place in the state of affairs ;
30,000 Holsteiners are still in face of 35,000 Danes.
Both armies have strong positions, which they are
daily strengthening by fortifications.
Several Bavarian troops have received orders to
march to Schleswig-Holstein. It appears they are
not to aid the Schleswig-Holsteiners, but are to aid
in carrying out the negotiations of the treaty of
peace according to the wishes of Denmark and the
non-German great powers in assisting to disband the
Schleswig Holstein army.

put up in the eact window of St. John's Church, Waterloo-
road. The design comprises in the centre a ue
manner of the early Christian painters, with figures xion, of in the
St.
John, Mary Virgin, Mary Magdalene, at foot of th-eucrro-ss&
the cross is surmountel by a pelican in her piety, above which wh
are angels holding a crown of vine leaves. The border
con-
tains figures of the four Evangelists, with their emblems be-
neath the feet of each ; also the Agnus Dei, chalice and wafer,
&c., comprised in a rich mosaic, in which are introduced
passion flowers, crosses, the emblems of the Trinity. The
colouring throughout is rich. In the design generally a se-
verity of feeling adapted to the devotional character of the
subject has been observed, at the same time with an endea-
vour to avoid the imperfect drawing of the early artists. The
work has been executed by Mr. Wilmshurst, from the designs
of Mr. N. J. Cottingham, at a limited cost. The reredos
and sacrarium are decorated in polychrome (less successfully
than the window); and a large painting of the entombment
of our Lor,l is in progress for the former. The style of the
church is Domestic Greek, so to speak : the strictly correct
character
of glass for such a building is still a question.

lam with thee now l' The bann'd of heaven,
Who clove the hurt of Love in twain,
And c6uld not lao;:o en,
Then gave the bluml,nd sign again.
All fcarles2 beam'd that princely brow,
Scorn on the lip; in heart the vow
That bore the spirit to its shrine,
And gave fur human love divine.
Thrice from th' ensanguin'd fount that head
Rebounded, like the battle-tread;
Flash'd the bright eye, ere quenched its light;
The proud lip curl'd, Disdain's delight;
Back rush'd the blond-3tain'd slaves in dread,
And the scar'd murderer muttering fled.

The biocd•cry rose! Granada weeps
The flower of all her chivalry;
Her fame departs—her empire sleep,
Faith, Hope, Love, Joy all trembling fly.
Oh, dark atou'd that deed of death!
Red Vengeance bar'd her arm;
Through cuurt, camp, plain and hill, the breath
Of battle woke th' alarm.

'Tis night once more! strange terrors low'r
O'er mosque, and palace-hall, and tower;
Ceas'd song and dance—the ' Sisters" Hall
Is dark—saloons deserted all;
From those bright gardens' myrtle bowers,
For ever speed Love's, Joy's wiug'd hours;
And o'er tti' Alhambra's tower-girt pride
The Afrites gather, Ghouls deride.
Fierce sounds of hate, toil, jeer or wail,
Till silence brood, and shadows pale,
As spectres flit—murmurs the air,
Though still the leaves as love's despair."
After this celebration of the " Last of the Aben-
cerrages" comes a tale of English industry and self-
dependence, entitled "Bertha; or, What makes the
Hero ?" More romantic subjects, however, still ex-
ercise the sway of fascination over the taste of Mr.
Roscoe; for we find him further on, in the volume
chaunting the glories of "King Alfred" with all the
gusto of Joseph Cottle, and offering up a song of re-
collection to the " Last Moments of Andrea Zur-
baran," the celebrated Spanish painter. A great
variety of miscellaneous poems, written apparently
at different times, like fugitive pieces, make up the
residue of the volume which is dedicated in grateful
terms to the Prime Minister of England.
