Dreadful Accident. On The Eastern Counti...
DREADFUL ACCIDENT . ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY . -UME LIVES EOST .
A very melancholy occurrence took place on Thursday morning , about half-a-mile eastward of the Brentwood station , on the Colchester line , by which ton plate-layers , servants of the company , lost their lives . It appears that these men , with about forty of their fellow-workmen , had just unloaded a train of ballast trucks , which was on the down-line , and to allow the engine and empty trucks to move on stepped aside ^ some of them between the metals of the np-line , probably forgetting that the first up-This
passenger train was at that moment due . train arrived quite punctual to its time . The moment that tbe engine driver perceived the men on the hue he whistled loudlv , and the guards and firemen applied their breaks "; but the poor fellows evidently becameparalysed , and before the tram could he stopped , ten unfortunate creatures were run over and killed on the spot . The engine of the ballast train was blowing off its steam , which may perhaps have prevented the men from hearing the approach of the passenger train . A fog prevailed at the time . .
The inquest was held at six o ' clock in the evening , in the Railway Hotel , adjoining the Brentwood Station , before Mr . C C . Lewis , the coroner for the western division of Esses . Mr . Ellis and Mr . Glynn , two directors of the Eastern Counties Company , and other officers , were present . On the jury viewing the bodies , a shocking sight presented itself , some of them being so dreadfully mangled as scarcely to be recognised . The evidence of two of the passengers and the guards clearly proved that there was no blame attached to the driver , as tbe train was proceeding very slowly at the time , on account of the fog which prevailed , and as soon as the men were seen the whistle was sounded , hut too late , as almost immediately after it ran over the unfortunate men , and killed them on the spot . The inquest was adjourned to Monday .
Great Fire In The City. On Thursday A Mo...
GREAT FIRE IN THE CITY . On Thursday a most serious conflagration , which was not arrested until it had laid in ruins property covering at least an acre of ground , and worth many thousands of pounds , broke out in Mark-Line , near the Corn Exchange . - The fire commenced on the premises belonging to Messrs . Allnut and Arbouin , wine merchants , No . 50 , in Mark-lane . The building was of vast extent , having been formerly used as the town residence of one of the foreign ambassadors . It was five or six stories high , each floor being let out as offices to cornfactors , who carried on business also in the adjoining Exchange . At the time of the outbreak the only persons sleeping m Messrs .
Allnut ' s premises were the porter , his wife and children . The man , who slept in one of the top rooms , was awoke by hearing a strange noise , apparently proceeding from the adjoining apartment . He immediately got up , when en opening his door he found fire rushing completely across the staircase . Having returned , he managed , to save his family , who made a hasty retreat down stairs ; but in stopping to save some clothes he nearly perished , for the flames spread so swiftly , that he was obliged io rush through them to reach the door . Fortunately he received no personal injury of importance . The engines were soon on the spot , and placed in a commanding position , but the flames shot through to the premises of Messrs . Hayter and Co ., army packers , No . 52 ,-in Mark-lane , and having ignited the roof of the Corn Exchange , they burst through the back of the houses there , and fired several
houses in Seething-Ianc . The scene at this period was awful , nothing being seen but huge sheets of flame curling upwards , and then spreading iu sundry directions . Fortunately the firemen were enabled to cut off the further spread of the fire in thereof of the Corn Exchange . Some idea of the extent of the conflagration may be formed when it is stated that Hayters and Howell ' s premises were 130 feet long , and eighty wide , and nearly ninety feet high ; the premises in which the disaster commenced were not much smaller ; whilst those of Mr . Barber were considerably larger . The whole of these immense buildings were on fire at the same time , to say nothing of the smaller ones which were also in flames . The property destroyed is very considerable , but at present it would be impossible to form an opinion of the exact loss , as a freat many other persons had goods in the wareouses . The origin of the fire is not known .
. The Following Appeared In Our Third Ed...
. The following appeared in our third edition of last week : —
- FATAL ACCIDENT TO LIEUT . GALE . On Sunday last Lieutenant Gale made an ascent with the Royal Cremorne balloon , on the back of a pony , from tho Hippodrome of Vincennes , at Bordeaux . It was the first time that Mr . Gale had ever made such an ascent , and his pony had only a few days before been broken in . At first the pony showed great repugnance at being lifted from his feet , but he gradually got accustomed to it , aud on Sunday allowed himself to be carried off by the balloon with the greatest composure . As there was some delay in filling tbe balloon with gas , the pony , gaily saddled and bridled , was paraded round the Hippodrome , and was regarded with extraordinary curiosity hy the spectators . An immense multitude
assembled to witness the ascent . The local journals say that the town was completely deserted , and that the adjacent villages sent their inhabitants . When Mr . Gale was seen to ascend rapidly into the air , seated on his pony , with a bridle in one hand and saluting the public with the other , there was a sort of shudder of fear in the vast gathering . The pony was perfectly calm , with his legs hanging and the neck bent ; but ho made no movement , The descent of Mr . Gale took place at a short distance from Bordeaux . 'When the horse had been released from its slings , the peasants who held the ropes , mistaking the instructions of the aeronaut , let go the cords before Lieut . Gale had disengaged himself . The balloon , instantly rushing up with Immense force , carried with it tbe unfortunate
aeronaut , who clung on to a rope . The branch of the pine to which the grapnel was fastened was torn off by the violence of the shock , and away went the machine mounting to the clouds with the unhappy man . It should seem that he succeeded in seizing the cord attached to the valve for letting off the gas ; . for after a quarter of an hour the balloon was observed to descend , and hopes were entertained that the aeronaut might have escaped the destruction which seemed imminent . On the next morning , however , the discovery of the balloon , half inflated , amid . one of those forests of pines , which stretch over the sandy Lindes , left little doubt as to the fatal accident which had befallen its owner . After a long search a body , identified as Lieutenant Gale ' s , was found at some distance smozg the trees .

Fire axd Loss of Ijse at Chiswick . —Late on "Wednesday nighta fire took place in Bennett-street , near the old chnrch at Chiswick , on the premises known as the Chancellor public house , which were wholly destroyed , and severe damage done to several of the adjacent property . About a quarter to eleven an alarm was given , and upon the inhabitants proceeding to the spot , the front shop and bar -werefound completely in flames , and Mrs . Butler in front of the premises screaming to the bystanders to save her children . Amidst the excitement , Mr . Butler , who had heard the cries of fire , arrived . A ladder being procured and placed against the windows , be ascended it , and got into the house , and succeeded in saving the whole of them , though one or two were much burnt about the face and hands .
Mr . Butler then disappeared with an intention , it was supposed , of rescuing three favourite spaniels of Eing Charles ' s breed , for which he had been offered 150 guineas , which were in another part of the premises , Some of the neighbours attempted to prevent him going , by laying hold of his arms , but he broke away from them , when , soon after , the floors fell , and he was never seen after . About halfrpast one o ' clock on Thursday forenoon the men discovered his remains , near the basement , It is supposed the fire originated by an escape of gas . On Friday evening Mr . H . M . Wakley , the deputy coroner , held an inquest at the Burlington Arms , Church-street , Chiswick , on the body of the said Mr .. Robert Butler , aged 42 , when the jury returned a verdict , " That the deceased was burned to death hy fire , but how . the said fire originated there was no evidence to prove . "
The sentence of death passed upon the convict Hannah Curtis has been commuted to transportation for life , Glasgow . —Irish Democratic Association . —At a meeting of this branch held at 45 , St .

^ fS ^ tholnS ^ s « lbbs ' "Kcoll Messrs . Millard and Wire , ^ Kffs Ac . The number of prisoners at ££ ? Sined ' in t he calendar is 130 which wHl nrobahly be increased by fresh committals to 1 Wbefore the grand jury are discharged . _ Charge of Robbery . —Wham Saunders surrendered to take his trial upon the charge of stealing a purse containing eleven sovereigns , eight half sovereigns , and a foreign gold coin , the property of William Henry Aldia . Mr . Cockle prosecuted , and Mr . "Ballantine defended the prisoner . The prosecutor deposed that he was an eating-house
keeper , carrying on business in Fore-street , Cripplegate , and in February last the prisoner and a female came to his shop , and had some refreshments , and his waiter subsequently told him that the prisoner wanted to speak to him . He shortly afterwards had some conversation with the prisoner who told him that he knew an old gentleman who wanted to take a business of some description for his nephew who was entitled to afortune of £ 2 ^ 000 and he asked him if he would be inclined to dispose Of his business . Witness told him that he should have no objection to do so if he could get money enough for it , and he said he should require £ 350 . The prisoner said that amount would be nooDject , and he then arranged that he should bring the old to have further
gentleman" the next day , some conversation upon the subject of taking the business . Accordingly on the following day the prisoner called a"ain , accompanied by a man named Anderson ( who was convicted at a former session , ) and they adjourned to a neighbouring public-house , where Anderso made the most minute inquiries respecting the business , and in the course of the conversation the prisoner said that , if any arrangement was concluded for taking it , he should expect to have £ 10 for introducing the old gentleman . Anderson also said that his nephew for whom he wanted the business resided at Dover , and that he was about to be married ; and upon this witness suggested that his nenhew should come to town and see the nature of
the business , and whether hewould like it or not ; but Anderson , in reply , said that it all rested with him and his aunt . Another appointment was then made for the following Monday at the Albion public-house , in the Blackfriars-road , and , after he had been there a short time , the prisoner came in , and he produced a letter from the pretended nephew at Dover , and read from it to the following effect : — "Dear Uncle , —I am pleased that you have taken the business for me . I should not like any business so well as that of an eating-house . I have mentioned the matter to my intended , Miss "Watson , and she is quite agreeable also . " The prisoner then said that the nephew could not get up to town that day , but it was all right , and shortly afterwards
Anderson came in , and no said that since he had received the letter from his nephew , his niece had come up for the purpose of buying the wedding dress , and his nephew would be up by the seven o ' clock train . Anderson then said that he could not stop any longer at that time , but he would meet him at the samo place at seven o ' clock in the evening . At that time he saw Anderson again , and they conversed together upon the subiect of the business for about half an hour , when Saunders and another man joined them , and in a short time a man came in , who appeared to be very drunk , and a sixth man entered the room at the same time and sat down by him . The seemingly drunken man then began to talk a parcel of nonsense and eventually challenged any one in the room to throw a
weight with him for a wager , and Saunders said he would do so , and during the conversation the drunken man pulled from his pocket what appeared to be a number of sovereigns , and he said he had been selling soine cows for his mother . They all then went to a beer shop in "Webber-row , where Saunders and the drunken man played at skittles , and the former appeared to win a considerable sum of money . When this had been going on some time Saunders asked him to play with the drunken man , observing at the same time that he might as well have £ 5 of his money as not . "Witness refused' to play , and told the prisoner that if he played with any one , it should be a sober man who knew what he was about , and he would take no advantage of a drunken man . The play continued forborne time , and at length all the parties began " larking , " and got round him and trod on his toes and hustled him ,
and he saw his purse in the prisoner ' s hand , and immediately afterwards he and Anderson and two of the other men left the skittle ground , and the sixth man stood in front of him , " and hindered him from following them , and told him that he would take him where he would find them , and he accompanied him to two or three public-houses in tho Blaekfriars-road for that purpose . He subsequently went to the skittle ground , accompanied by a police sergeant , and upon making a search he found his purse , emptied of its contents , tucked in behind some boards . The Common Serjeant summed up , and the jury , after some considerable deliberation , said they thought there was a good deal of suspicion in the case , but as there appeared to be some doubt , they would give the prisoner the benefit of it , and they then returned a verdict of Not Guilty .
Obtaixixg Goods by Travd . — "William Derbyshire , 19 , upholsterer , and . ^ George Derbyshire , 23 , upholsterer , pleaded guilfcy ~ to an indictment for obtaining goods by false pretences from several tradesmen , amounting in value to above £ 100 . ' Mr . Clarkson appeared for the prisoners . It appeared that the prisoners , who had a shop at Hammersmith , in May last went to a Mr . Bradbeer , of the Curtainroad , and a Mr . Cutbill , of Holywell-street , Shoreditch , and representing that they had some gentlemen ' s houses to furnish , obtained some tables , chairs , and other articles of furniture to a large amount , for which they gave bills , and no sooner had they been obtained than they were sent to an auction room and the prisoners left their shop . —
Mr . Clarkson , on behalf of the prisoners urged in mitigation of sentence the prisoners * previous good character and their distressed circumstances when the offence was committed . —Mr . Gurney said the case was a very proper one to prosecute , but as the prisoners had pleaded guilty , and had already been two months in prison , the sentence would be comparatively slight . They wero then sentenced to four months' imprisonment . EiinEZZLEMEST . —Edward Parker Simpson , 23 , a genteel looking young man , was indicted for feloniously embezzling £ 25 , the monies of his employer , Robert Woodward . The prosecutor deposed that he was an attorney , and his offices were in Bouveriestreet . On the 21 st of August he was absent from
business , and tbe prisoner was left in charge , and it was his duty to make an entry of every person who called at the office . On tbe day in question he had ascertained that a lady had paid a sum of £ 25 on his account to the prisoner , but he made no entry of the circumstance , and left his service , and absconded , and he saw no more of him until he was in custody . Upon being cross-examined by the prisoner , Mr . "Woodward said that the prisoner was called the common-law and general clerk , and his salary was ten shillings per week . He said he was not aware that the prisoner was a married man . — From the evidence of the police constable , it appeared that at four o ' clock in the morning of the 22 nd of August , he found the prisoner lying upon
his back in the road in Wellington-street , in the Strand , and he observed two men in the act of running away from him . Upon an examination of the prisoner ' s person , it was ascertained that his trowsers had been torn nearly off , and his fob and one of the other pockets wrenched violently away , and he complained of having been robbed of some bank notes . At this time nothing was known of the money having been stolen from Mr . "Woodward ' s office , and the policeman accompanied the prisoner to several places , for the purpose of endeavouring to apprehend the persons who had robbed him ; but at lenght it appered that the prisoner went into the country , and was not heard of until , upon a communication being made to his wife that his attendance was required at the police court to give
evidence upon the subject of the robbery , he attended at Bow-street for that purpose , and was then taken into custody . —The prisoner , when called upon for his defence , read a statement to the jury , in which he asserted that he did not take the money from the office of the prosecutor with the intention to deprive him ot it , but solely because he had no place of safety at the office in which he could have put it . He said that upon being robbed of the money he could not face his master , and thought tho best course for him to take was to go out of the way until the thieves should be taken , which he considered would effectually clear him . —The Common Sergeant having summed up , the jury found the prisoner Guilty , and he was sentenced to bo imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months .
Charge of Robbery and Hocussino . — Ann M'Carthy , 26 , and Jane Hailes , 38 , wore indicted for stealing five sovereigns and twelve shillings from the person of William Stephenson M'Intyre . Tho prosecutor , who is a Scotchman , and who described himself as a commission-agent , and as having formerly been a superintendent upon the Eastern Counties Railway , deposed that on the night of the 20 th of August , about eleven o ' clock , ho was in Whitechapel on his way home , when he met the prisoner M'Carthy , who accosted him , and asked him to treat her . He told her he had no objection to do
so , but he would not go to a public-house , and she then said she would take him somewhere else , and he accompanied her- to a coffee-shop in Somersetstreet , Aldgate , but she took him up stairs into a bed-room and shut the door . She then put her hand into his waistcoat-pocket and took , out five sovereigns and some silver . He gave an alarm , and the other prisoner and several other persons came up stairs and into the room , and Hailes went close to him and put her arm round his neck and over his face , and in an instant he became insensible , and did not recover his recollection until the following

morning between six and seven o ' clock , when ho found himself lying in a place called Lady Lake's Grove , about a milo from the coffee-shop where tlio robbery was committed . The prosecutor added tbat he disguised himself , and walked about the : neighbourhood for several evenings in the expectation of meeting with the prisoners , but failed to do so ; and at lengthhe was taken to the coffeo-ahop by a policeman , and ho there saw both the prisoners , and recognised them as the parties who committed the robbery . —Mr . Parry cross-examined the prosecutor with considerable severity , and elicited from him that he was a married ; man , and that at the time "
this occurrence took place his wife was lying dangerously ill at home , in the charge of a nurse . He also said that he did hot know that M'Carthy was a street-walker at tho time she accosted him , although , of course , ho said that he did not believe She was . a virtuous woman , and he declared thatbis only object in accompanying her to the coffeehouse was to give her som refreshment , which he considered she stood in need of in her unfortunate position , and that he had no improper intention . He likewise said that upon one occasion he had been charged before a magistrate with being drunk . — The Jury , after deliberating a short time , returned a verdict of Not Guilty .
Robbery by a Servant . —James Brookman surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of stealing £ 67 14 s . 6 d ., the monies of Charles Anderson Pelham , Earl of Yarborough . William Fawkes , house steward to the noble earl , deposed that the prisoner was hall porter at his town residence , No . 17 , Arlington-street . On the 31 st of July , witness was about to proceed to the Isle of Wight , when the prisoner told him that a sum of £ 61 Us . Gd . was required for the payment of rates and taxes on the following Saturday , and he gave him that amount The prisoner went away on the 7 th , and did not return till the 9 th of August , and witness then put some questions to him respecting the money , and he said he had been to Brighton races , and that he had
been robbed of every shilling of it .- By Mr . Parry : Prisoner had been eight years in the service of the Earl of Tarborough , and he had repeatedly entrusted him with money to a considerable amount . He appeared very much distressed when he related the story of his having been robbed , and said that he had been obliged to state in whose service he was at the railway station at Brighton , and to beg atfreepass back to London . The money he gave to the prisoner was part of the proceeds of a check for £ 2 , 000 drawn by Mr . Williams , the Earl of Yarborough ' s land steward , but he did not know
from what source it was derived . —The different rate and tax collectors were then called to prove that the prisoner had not paid the sum which they were entitled to receive from the noble earl . —The Common Sergeant then summed up , and the jury deliberated for a short time , when they inquired whether thoy were bound to return a verdict of guilty or not guilty . The Common Sergeant said : Certainly . —The jury again turned round , and in a few minutes gave , a verdict of Guilty , but most strogly recommended the prisoner to mercy , on account of his previous-good character . He was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for
six months . A Thief and a Receiver , —James Healy , 25 , labourer , was indicted for stealing a quantity of lead , the property of Joseph Rigby and another , and Thomas Hale , 41 , brass-founder , was indicted for receiving the same knowing it to have been stolen . —It appeared that tho prisoner had been for some years in the employment of Messrs . Rigby , the contractors , of Westminister , who are engaged by the new gas company to lay down their pipes through the City . On the 11 th of this month they were employed at St . Andrew ' s-hill , and whilst the men were at work in the evening , the prisoner , who kept the keys of the cart accompanying the operations for containing the metal and tools , was seen hy three boys to go several times to the cart and cut some lead off and take it to a marine-store shop kept by Hale . The boys found
a policeman and told him , upon which he first took Healy , and then went to Hale ' s shop and found the lead hidden under the counter ; Hale having first denied that any lead had been brought to him , —The jury found them both Guilty . In answer to the Court , it was stated that Hale had been tried in July as a receiver , and then acquitted , and that upon his shop being searched a quantity of stolen property was found . Healy was ordered to be imprisoned for six months , and Hale to twelve .

: MANSIOU-HOUSE . —Ca umonUto Cabmen . —A Cabmen , named John Smith , was brought before Alderman Gibbs . charged with" having refused to convey Mr . ' Nicholls , of Bethlehem Hospital , under the following circumstances : —The defendant had not paid the slightest attention to two summonses which had been served upon him , calling upon him to appear to answer the complaint , and was therefore taken- into custody for the offence . —Mr . Nicholls said , on Tuesday week , I went to the cabstand in Lower Thames-street , upon landing from a steam vessel , and getting into a disengaged cab , of which the defendant was the driver , desired him to drive me to Bethlehem Hospital . "What are you
going to give for carrying you ? " said ho to mo . « ' That you shall know , " said I , " when you arrive at your destination . " He then said if I did not bargain to give him half-a-crown he would not take me , as he had been all day without a job . The fare is not more than a shilling , Or at most , sixteenpence . I expostulated with him , but it was useless . He refused positively to drive me for less than that sum , and I have do doubt would have insisted upon receiving the half-crpwn at once if I had yielded to the extortion . I got out , of course , and insisted upon seeing his badge , and I asked him three times to let me look at it before he opened the lower part of his waistcoat to show it to me . — Alderman Gibbs : There are two serious charges
against you , defendant ; what have you to say ? Defendant :. In the first place , as to my badge , I always wear it as I do now , on the third button , so that everybody as likes may look at it ; so he ' s wrong there . Then , as to my refusing to take him , there was a gentleman called four of us cabs at one moment , and in went the complainant into mine , so I told the gentleman as civil as could be that I was hired , and I begged him to come out , as I had been without a job all day , and I expected to get better paid by the other party . Well , he did get out , and then he took the number of my cab . — Mr . Nicholls said that not one word of what had just been stated had been Uttered upon the
occasion , and that if such an appeal had been made to him it would have . undoubtedly succeeded , provided there had been any foundation for it . —Alderman Gibbs " : This is an increasing evil . The moment a cabman finds that he has but a short way to go he refuses to stir , because his chance of imposing upon his customer is not so tempting as a long fare wOuld present . The defendant , in treating my summons with contempt , meant to weary out the gentleman whom he refused to carry , and he con cealed his badge with the view of adding to the difficulty of arriving at a satisfactory issue . I must try what I can do to prevent such outrageous conduct , and . fine the defendant 40 s . or one month's imprisonment in Bridewell .
Assault . — Mr . Joseph Parawagna , a foreigner , was brought up in the custody of a policeman , charged with having thrashed the waiter of a public-house in one of tho courts in Fenchurckstreet , with a stick in a very violent manner . The defendant , it appeared , paid no regard to a large lettered notice on the wall , giving a caution of a delicate nature to passers by , and was in the act of showing his disregard for the hint when the waiter walked up to him , touched him on the shoulder , and informed him civilly of his mistake . The rage of the defendant , upon being told that he must shift his quarters , knew no bounds . He raised his stick and began to lay it with all his might upon the shoulders of the waiter , who actually danced
with pain , until he got hold of the weapon with which he had been punished . A policeman then made his appearance , and , at the request of the waiter , submitted the case to the arbitration of the magistrate . —The defendant said he had exercised very particular judgment and delicacy in the matter , for he had selected the place for his accommodation because , from its neglected condition , it appeared to be adapted for that very purpose alone . ( Laughter . ) What then must , he asked , his astonishment be when ho felt a sharp blow across the shoulders , and found that the person who inflicted it was ready to give him another , and perhaps to follow it up by robbing
Kim . He admitted that , labouring under the impression that he was himself the aggrieved party , he had raised his stick to retaliate , and ho felt the greatest desire for the interference of the policeman and the magistrate . —Alderman Gibbs having made very close inquiries as to the locus in quo , and learned that the defendant had favoured tlie spot with a visit on a former occasion , on a similar emergency , fined him twenty shillings , and required him to find securities to keep the peace for six months . Mr . Parawagna expressed , on paying the penalty , his indignation at the treatment he had received , and said it was his jntention to seek satisfaction elsewhere . ' f
GUILDHALL . — Serious Charge against a Policeman . —Thomas Wilkins , No . 117 , of the D division of metropolitan police , was brought up for re-examination , charged with defrauding the treasurer of Middlesex of 3 s . 6 d ., aud also with defrauding Mrs ..

Ho asked her where she lived . Before she had time
to reply a man crossed the road immediately behind , and struck him a violent blow under the left ear . The man then ran away in the direction of Saffronhill . On perceiving the approach of two officers in plain clothes , prosecutor retained his hold of the female until they arrived , when he gave her into custody . He gave a description of the man to the constables , who soon after apprehended the prisoner . On feeling his pockets he missed his watch , with a seal and key attached to the guard .

Witness instantly hastened down stairs , and upon entering the back kitchen , in which he had previously heard a sort of rumbling noise , he observed the window open , and a ^ man in the act of making his way through it , and before he had time to intercept him ho leaped into the garden and
disappeared . On examining the place he found everything perfectly safe , and that no article had been disturbed , but a candlestick , which was left on the table , the light having evidently just been extinguished . He then proceeded to the street-door to give information to the police , and in a few minutes two constables arrived with the prisoner in their custody . —Police-constable No . 66 stated that while on duty at the rear of the promises the prisoner suddenly presented himself on the top of the prosecutor ' s garden wall , from which he dropped into the street , and started off , with his cap and boots in his hands . After a sharp pursuit he was stopped and secured by another officer . On searching him at the station-house a large knife was found in his possession . —The prisoner declined offering any defence , and was committed for trial .

Clerk , a tobacconist , of 5 , Drury-lane , that the prisoner entered tho shop and said he had been sent to give an order for six pounds of tobacco , which was to be sent to Mr . Cooper , the landlord of the Old Crown , at tho coroner of Museum-street , in Oxford-street , and after he left tho goods were packed up , and witness took them , but on his way to the Old Crown he was met by the prisoner , who came up to him in a hurried manner , and said that his employer also wanted two pounds of cheroots d ithout din
anw proceeg further with the tobacco be had better return and fetch them , which he immediately did , delivering up the tobacco to the prisoner , who promised to meet him at his master ' s house , but on bringing the cigars it was discovered that no such orders were given , and that Mr . Cooper had never before seen the prisoner A city constable , who had the prisoner in custody , said that several persons wero present to prefer similar charges against the prisoner , in addition to which he had been brought before one of tho Aldermen in the city , who directed that he should bo conveyed here , there being several offences committed by the prisoner in the district of this court . —Mr . Javdine ordered him to be remanded for a week . Robber * by a Porteb . —William Christie was charged with stealing £ 2210 s . in gold , tho property of Mr . William Henry Cole , wholesale druggist ,

There was a large sum of money in the desk , but ho only appropriated the above sum . The prisoner absconded from his employment the same day , and nothing was heard of him , although a strict search was made , until Tuesday , the 3 rd inst ., when he was apprehended in New Bartholomew Fair , held in the ttii mi niiliTTiillninr Tlininfirnnrr 1 - - — in

The overseer added that the prisoner for two years had been a source of great trouble and expense to the parish . A short time ago he was apprenticed to the sea , which cost the parish more than £ 7 , but he had not been away more than a week when he made his appearance at the workhouse with hardly a'rag to cover him .

Prisoner coolly replied that she was quite well , and that she was
not a bit-stouter than she always was . Mrs . Martin , however , did not believe her , and . on her lifting up her gown ; found the two blankets produced suspended by a cord round her waist .

He saw a bill in a window for apartments to let in Smith-street , Stoke Netvington , and on making application he had an interview with the prisoner , who represented that she was servant to the landlord of the house , who was not at home , but she was authorised to negotiate with any partv *
agreeable to take the apartments . Witness explained to her that ho merely required the goods to be protected during the absence of his relation in the country . Terms were arranged and entered into , and the goods , with valuable plate , were conveyed to the house , he witness , having satisfied himself through a reference given by the prisoner . His relation remained at Brighton for two months , and on her return to London they proceeded to the house for tho purpose of redeeming the property , when they found the house deserted and empty . _ Witness immediately gave information with a description of the prisoner's person to the police , who at once recognised her as being connected with a notorious gang of swindlers , called the Bennett , Keene , Ransof whom had
ford , and Stacey ' s gang , many been transported , and others are now suffering imprisonment , for swindling Mr . Richards , linen draper , of Goswell- # eet , St . Luke ' s , to a considerable amount .

On searching the place numerous duplicates wero found for property belonging to the prosecutor ' s relation , together with some of the articles which had been placed under the care of the prisoner .

LAMBETH . —Ponious" Dhiviko . —Mr .

Alien , badge 393 . —Samuel Capping , 97 P , deposed that , on the 4 th . instant , at about half-past nine o ' clock , ho was on duty at the Surrey Gardens , and observed a cabman drive out of the rank , and proceed along Penton-place at so furious a rate as to endanger the lives of several persons who were leaving the gardens . Witness followed him , and overtaking him in Newington-crescent , took down the number both of his cab and his badge . —The defendant declared he knew nothing whatever of tha circumstance related by the constable , and that he had not been to the Surrey Gardens , or near them , on the evening in question ; and that at tbe time spoken of his cab was on the rank in King-street , Cheapside . —Capping admitted that Allen was not tho person in charge of the cab , at tho time , but a different man ; and that the number of his badge was 7 , 703 , while that of Allen was 393 . —Mr .
Nottage said that Allen had been in his employment for fourteen years , and was ah exceedingly steady and well-conducted man , and he was perfectly certain the officer must have made some mistake in taking down the number . —Capping repeated that he had been most careful , in taking down the number , and could make no mistake about it , ns the cab was standing still at the time . —Mr . Elliott remarked that the circumstance would appear inexplicable to him if he had not heard of the practice recently adopted amongst the cabmen of changing their numbers . In-this case , however , it was fortunate the constable had taken the number of the driver ' s badge as well as that of the cab , and he hoped that the matter would be followed up , and strictly investigated . With this , view he should adjourn the summons for a . week , but feeling satisfied that the present defendant was not the aggressor he should not trouble him to attend again .
Blowing-Up The Cliff At Seaford. - Explo...
BLOWING-UP THE CLIFF AT SEAFORD . - EXPLOSION OP 12 TONS OF GUNPOWDER .
In consequence of the inroads of the sea , Mr . Catt , who owns a large tide mill between Seaford and A ewhaven , made a representation to government , who , in order to preserve the coast defences , took the matter in hand , and . directed Captain Frome , R . E ., to prepare a plan of operations , which was approved of and ordered to be carried into exe « cution . The plan was to throw down by the operation of blasting a large portion of the cliff , to the eastward of Seaford , which being too great a mass for the sea to wash away would form a groin , arrest the movement of shingles continually going on from west to east , and thus form a high bank , and drive back the wa $ er . The quantity of powder exploded
was 25 , 8001 bs . ; and it was calculated the explosion would throw down about 250 , 000 tons of chalk rock . Thursday was the day fixed for the explosion , and the anticipation of a rush to Seaford to witness so novel a sight , was fully realised . The place was visited by thousands . Tne bay itself also presented a most lively scene . A posting bill had been published in the town , stating that the explosion would take place at three o ' clock , and persons were requested not to pass the line of sentinels marked out by the Bandarols , with a small red flag , as within that line there was danger ! that at two o'clock a union , jack would be hoisted on the tower and the shed ; that at half-past two it would be removed to warn of danger ; and that at three it would be rehoisted , and the explosion would take place immediately afterwards
. A sapper was seen to go twice to the edge of the cliff and inspect the rods over which the wires were conveyed to the powder below , and then at twenty minutes to three , a low and rumbling but deep boom , was heard , and simultaneously with the noise the cliff fell like an avalanche . The explosion had taken place , and it had produced the effect expected . The chalk , in falling , had formed a mound about 100 feet high , and measuring 200 feet at the base , as near as we could guess ; it filled up the space between the base of the cliff and the sea ( it was low water ) , and , from the discolouration of the water , it appeared as if it had ex « tended into the sea , about a hundred yards . No reverberation was felt on the beach , but on the cliff an uprising of the ground was perceived . The explosion was now over , and it had been attended with the wished for results .
