MRS. CUNNINGHAM GONG TO PRIsoN.-Mrs.
Cunningham was removed yesterday from the
house 81 H0nd street to the city prison.
Mrs. Cunningham refused to 'sstir peg" as
the oic ers phrased it, and she had to be carried
down stairs upon mattrass, and so placed in
the carriage. She kept up the character Of her
assumed situation with great adroitness. She
was dressed in black, and wore thick veil; she
was wrapped in shaws, as if in the last stage Of
sickness. She often moaned, but did not at
tempt to move, not even BY . wave Of the hand.
The crowd in the streets had barely time 10
gather around the carriage before it was driven
away, but they sent after her parting salute Of
s'There goes the woman that murdered Bur
dell" "Where is my darling baby?' And in
this way Mrs. Cunningham quilted No. 81 Bond
street, for the last time. Il is scarcely possible
that she will ever enter its doors again.
The carriage drove rapidly to the Tombs, but
on its arrival there about fifty or sixty people
were assembled, who again saluted her in sim
liar manner to the crowd in Bond street. She
was lifted out Of the carriage and borne to the
matrOns room, where she-sO those said that
took her in--shammed insensibility, and was
laid prostrate on the floor. Her forehead was
bathed in vinegar and water, her daughter
Helen, who had accompanied her, assisting her
attendants, thought her mother had really
tainted, and cried bitterly. At length some
person proposed that Dr. Coyil, the physician Of
the City Prison, should be sent for. At the
mention Of his name Mrs. Cunningham sat up,
and said she did not want doctor. That
"blessed." or other bogus baby, which figured
50 conspicuously in the Burdeil farce, did not
prove quite 90 attractive during the day yester-
day, - the managers Of the Museum had an
ticipated, there being little perceptible increase
in the number Of visitors.-l Herald. l4th.
THE Lion HuSrER' AT TIRE LIVERPOOL POLICE
CouRr.-Mr Gordon Cumming, who was lately
present exhibiting his trophies in the Clayton
Hal, in Liverpool, was charged before the bor-

his supper with two friends Of his, with whom he
was discussing the qualifications Of the United
States steam frigate Niagara. The complainants
having been on board, We're interested in the
conversation, and joined Cumming at table,
when that gentleman [so they saidl without any
provocation, attacked them in very violent
manner, Griffith being severely cut about the
face. while Ellis was also much injured. The
bar maid and bar man came in, they stated for
some heavy blows. According TO Mr.. Cummings
version, and that of his friends, Griffith provok.

about the English flag, and when they were re-
sented, challenged Nj. Cumming to fight, saying
that IL they would get upon the door. he would
take the bounce out OF all three OF them.' In
common politeness Mr.. Cumming said he ac-
crpted the invitation, and as he did not do that
kind Of things BY halves, be gave the man .

drawn the chastisement on themselves, and dis
missed the scmmons. M
