Macready ' s mode of leaving New York that I can find is the following : — "Mr . Macrcady left the Xew York Hotel , where he -was living , and departed from the city at three o ' clock , on Friday morning , accompanied by several of his fricuds .

They ^ s ? r * d ™ t ^ li fce no difficulty . He then retired to his ^ essing-» on > , and prepared to leave the theatre .

The uniform of a soldier was procured , and in that disguise he left the hotel on horseback for Sew Rochelle , -where he could wait for the first morning train to " Bo -ton .

WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP . The tidings of the wreck of the Hannah , with nearly 200 emigrants , bound to Quebec , from Newry , was reported on Monday afternoon at Lloyds , the particulars having been received by the American mail-steamer America , at Liverpool . The unfortunate vessel the Hannah was a bri g oi about 200 tons burden , belonging to Maryport , and manned by a crew , it is said , of twelve seamen , under the command of Mr . Shaw , the master . On the 3 rd of April last she sailed from Newry with the above number of emigrants on board , having been previously overhauled and examined by her Majesty ' s emigration agent at that port . The emigrants chiefly consisted of agricultural labourers , and their wires and children . The passage up to
the 27 th , considering the season of the year , was as favourable as could be expected . The vessel then encountered heavy winds and a quantity of floating ice . On the morning of the 29 th the unfortunate ship struck on a reef of ice ; it was about four o'clock when she strati . A charge is brought against the master and the first and second officers of then- having been guilty of one of the mostre-Tolting acts ot inhumanity possible to be conceived . They had got the life-boat out , and the moment they found the vessel would inevitably go down they jumped into it , and abandoned the ship with the emigrants on board . Their screams for help rent the air , and it was with difficulty that the remainder of the crew could induce the frantic creatures to comprehend the only chance left of saving their
lives . Fortunately the ice was firm under the ship ' s bows , and the seamen convincing them as to its security , many got on it . Its solidity being then apparent , a desperate struggle took place amongst the emigrants to leave the wreck . Men , " women , and children , with nothing on but their night attire , ¦ were scrambling over the mass of ice . Many of the poor creatures slipped between the huge masses , and were either crushed to death or met with a watery grave * The last to leave the wreck , were some of the crew , who contrived to save a small portion of spirits and a few blankets . Soon after they had got clear , the ship ' s stern rose as it were above the water , and she went down bead foremost , just forty minutes after the collision with the ice . The sufferings of the wretched creatures were most harrowing . The seamen who were among them lumanelv gave up what covering they had to the women , some of whom had been shockingly wounded and bruised . Thus were they exposed the whole of that day till five o ' clock in the afternoon , when a ¦ vessel hove in sight , and bore down to the edge of the field of ice . it proved to be the barque Nicargua , also bound for Quebec , Captain Marshal . He got the ship ice fender down , and prepared to take to the ice . By seven o'clock he had got so close in that in the course of two hours he and his crew succeeded in getting hold of about fifty of the poor creatures , and placing them on board his vessel . T . * ie remainder stood crouched together in another part of the ice some distance off , inaccessible from the position of the ship . Captain Marshal had all sails clewed up , and g ot a rope fastened to a piece « f ice , and with the long-boat pushed off with his men to the spot . After considerable difficulty he
succeeded in getting to the edge , where they remained huddled together . The whole of them were saved . The number got on board the Nicargua ¦ were 129 passengers and seamen , the greatest part of whom were frost-bitten . As far as Captain Mar shal could , ascertain from the survivors , the number that perished by being crushed to death between the ice and frozen to death were between fifty and sixty . As soon as he had succeeded in getting all on board , the ship was got under weijrh , and proceeded in the direction of Cape Ray . Every comfort that his means afforded was placed at the sufferers' disposal . The next day , meeting with the barque Broom , of Glasgow , twenty-sevea of the poor creatures were transferred to that vessel ; and in the course of the following day forty-nine of the survivors were placed on board three other vessels . The Xicareua reached Quebec on the 10 th of April .
The fate of the master and the others who took to the life-boat and abandoned the emigrants is not known .

mm DESTRUCTIVE FIRES . Great Fire near Oxfokd-Stbeet . —On Monday night , shortly after nine o ' clock , a fearful fire , -which was not extinguished until nearly midni ght , and not until a quantity of property had been destroyed , broke out in Blenheim-street , Oxford-street . The premises were formerly in the tenure of the celebrated Dr . Brookes , but at the present time ¦ were in the occupancy of Messrs . Alderson and Sons , lead merchants and pewterers . The flames originated , from some cause at present unknown , in the warehouse adjoining the Blenheim Dispensary . That building , containing a vast quantity of cil , turpentine , and other equally inflammable articles , caused the fire to progress with unusual swiftness , so that before an engine had time to reach the place the warehouse and ali it " contained became
-wrapped in one immense sheet of flame . This caused a general turn-out of the firemen , and forthwith the engines of the parish , London Brigade , and "West of England Insurance Company , from the station in AYaterloo-road arrived . The flames at that lime were progressing so fearfully that the total destruction of the dispensary appeared inevitable ; the firemen , however , set their engines to work , and did all that was possible to save the latter building from the ravages of the names . Another ware-Louse , belonging to Messrs . Alderson , running under the dispensary , whilst the firemen were at work , also became ignited , when the whole force ¦ was brought to bear upon it , but in spite of which the fire continued to spread , and as the water was scattered upon the blazing oil and spirits it caused
them to rise still higher , until the whole neighbourhood was in danger . The firemen , finding that no good could be accomplished by working the engines upon the Tats of oil which were on fire , had the hose from the engines conveyed round the burning premises , and by that means they were enabled to encompass the flames on every side , but it was not ¦ uniil the extensive warehouses in which they originated "was bunted out , its valuable contents consumed , the building under the dispensary severely damaged by fire and water , and the lecture-room of the dispensary injury by fire , 2 Je . the flooring in several places being obliged to be cut away so that the men could discharge the water on the fire . The whole damage , it is stated by some of the firemen , ¦ wil l not be fir short of £ 2 , 000 . ¦ . Fcrzhsb Pakticciabs . —Discovert ot Dead
Bodies . —The ; firemen laving eventually succeeded is extinguishing the fire a strange discovery was saade . On the men entering , by means of a small wiadow , a kind of lumber-room parallel with the fin * flow leads , tfaeir attention was directed to what appeared to be the remauis / of two or three persons who had been burned to death . Upon making a closer inspection it was ascertained that the substances found were the remains of two , if not three , human beings , which had not been divested of the Sesh , and which -was so hard and dry , from long exposure to the -any as not to be eas&y removed ! The head of each party was off , and-there is every reason for supposing that the bodies had been * used oy the celebrated . Dr , Brookes ; , who formerly had possession'of the premfsec .

Clapham , a tanner and leather-dresser . The moment the discovery was made an alarm was given ; but before assistance could arrive the greater portion of the works was enveloped m flames .- As soon as water could be procured the whole of the engines
were set to work , but in spite of the endeavours of the firemen the flames crossed the carriage road and fired almost simultaneously the extensive works of Mr Human , in the same line of business . The fire was not entirely extinguished until nearly six o ' clock . The loss of property is considerably creator than was at first expected .

SOUTHWARK . — " The Course of True Love sever did bun Smooth . —William Sandford , a young man of respectable appearance , was brought before Mr . Cottingham , charged with creating a disturbance in the house of Mr . Joseph Jarmain , landlord of the Queen ' s Head , in Fashion-street , Bermondsey , and instigating his daughter , a girl of fifteen years of age , to abandon her home .-The complainant stated that for some tin ? epast the defendant had been in the habit of frequenting his house , and as he observed of Lite that familiarities , which he was averse to encourage , were passing between the latter and his daughter , a very young girl , he forbade him the house . The defendant , however , still persisted in his visits , although remonstrated with ,
and warned not to come there , and on Saturday evening he presented himself and forced his way into the room where complainant ' s daughter was sitting , and repeated his solicitations for her to leave home and accompany him . On that occasion the defendant became so exceedingly turbulent in his conduct , that when threatened to be turned out he made use oflanguageofahighly irritating nature , vowing that complainant ' s daughter should not remain longer under her parental roof ; and his conduct at length became so violent , that in order to prevent serious consequences , he was at last compelled to call a policeman , and give the aggressor into custody . The complainant here handed a letter addressed by the defendant to his daughter , to the
magistrate , in order that his worship mignt oe niaue acquainted with the improper character of his epistles te so young a girl . —Mr . Cottingham having perused the letter , observed that it was of a most improper description , and that the father was perfectly justified in banishing such a customer from his house . The magistrate added that if the girl was possessed of property , and the defendant was attempting to induce her to leave home and get married to him in order to obtain possession of it himselfUif he succeeded in getting her away for such a purpose , he would place himself in a difficulty that he little expected , if proceedings were adopted against him , for such an offence , upon conwouiu iu uauauurtauuu
vicuon , rcnuer nun name . —Defendant : I don't . want her money , and consider myself as respectable as the young lady is , although her parents are opposed to our ' union . — -Mr . Cotting ham : Pray what age are you ? Defendant : I am nearly twenty 2—The father said that the defendant was not yet out of his apprenticeship ; but that independently of that he ( complainant ) did not wish his daughter , quite a young girl , to marry the man . —The defendant said that he considered Mr . Jarmain the aggressor in this matter , and that he had no right to expel him from his house more than any other customer ; that it was a public-house , and he was bound to furnish his customers with entertainment . on being paid for it , but that he refused to
serve him . —Mr . Cottingham told the defendant that the landlord of any house of that description was perfectly justified in refusing to serve a person who conducted himself in such a manner as the defendant was proved to have done . He should call upon the defendant to find two sureties of £ 25 each , and himself in £ 50 to keep the peace and be of good behaviour . The magistrate , at the same time , advised the complainantrif he could manage it conveniently , to send his daughter to some of her relations in the country , a step which the father intimated he should adopt as speedily as possible . —The defendant was locked up in default of finding tho required sureties . Alleged Miscoxductix a Dissenting Chapel . — R . Edgcomband T . Luck were charged with intruding themselves into a chapel iu Webber-street , Blackfriar ' s-road , and disturbing the congregation .
—Mr . Thomas Cooksay said that he was minister of a dissenting chapel , of which the defendants were formerly members , that they had for sometime past withdrawn themselves . On Sunday evening , however , they intruded themselves , and caused an interruption by exclaiming that he was nothing ' but an impostor , and afterwards addressing the congregation . They were repeatedly requested to be silent , but at length they became so noisy that it was found necessary to call in a , policeman to prevent a breach of the peace . The complainant added that the chapel was duly licensed . —The defendants stated that the doctrines promulgated by the preacher of the chapel were at variance with Christianity , and that they presented themselves there in order to enlighten the congregation . They ( the defendants ) thought they were justified in their interference under such circumstances . —Mr .
Cottingham informed them that they were very much mistaken , and that they were not justified in interrupting the service in the manner described . However , if they now promised to keep away from the chapel in future , he would order them to be set at liberty , but if not , he must bind them down to keep the peace . —Luck at once assented ; but his fellow prisoner said that he couldnot conscientiously make a promise of the kind , for he couldnot bear to hear a man get up in a pul p it and propegate such doctrines without interfering , and pointing out to the
congregation the errors of the preacher . —Mr . Cottingham : But you are not compelled to go there unless you like ; and as the place is duly licensed , you must not interfere with the service -, and in order to prevent such a scene in a p lace of worship I must adjudge you to find sureties to keep the peace . —Luck , the other defendant , was discharged . Violent Assault upon Miss Vincent , op the Victoria Theatre . —Eliza Cole , alias White , a young woman of prepossessing appearance , was charged with attempting to strangle Miss Vincent , the ¦ actress connected with the Victoria Theatre .
The complainant , who was accompanied by Mr . Osbaldiston , stated that , a little after eleven o ' clock on the previous night she left the theatre , and was about to get into her carriage at the stage door , when she perceived the prisoner following her . She knew nothing about her ,. but the prisoner rushed upon her , and attempted to strangle her ; and no doubt she would have succeeded , had not one of the actors come to her assistance . Witness further stated that she was unacquainted with the prisoner , and had had no connexion with her family . She knew her some years ago as an actress , but had nothing to do with her . —Mr . Edwin , the chief clerk , asked Miss Vincent whether the prisoner did not claim relationship with Mr . Osbaldiston . —Miss Vincent replied that she was not aware that such . vr . i s the case . —Mr . Johnson , one of the performers
connected with the Victoria Theatre , said that he was making his way to the lobby after the performance , when he heard screams and cries of " Murder . " He instantly rushed out at the stage entrance , and saw the prisoner , in Miss Vincent ' s carriage , with her hands grasped tightly round her throat . She exclaimed , " that she was determined to- murder her , as she had a vindictive feeling towards her ! " He seized hold of her , and gave her into custody of the constable of the theatre . —Murray , the constable of the theatre , said that he took the prisoner into enstody , and on searching her he found a quantity of stones and a sharp knife . —In defence , the prisoner said she was an old acquaintance of Miss Vincent , and knew her before she lived with Mr . Osbaldiston .
She had been a ballet-girl at the Hayinarket ; and when Miss Vincent performed there she assisted . her but since she had been in distress all her friends had deserted her . When Mr . Shepherd was with Miss Tincent she called upon her for assistance , but she then treated her so ill that she was determined to have satisfaction . —Mr . Seeker told her that if she had any complaint to make it should be done in the proper way , and not with violence . She certainly did not appear to be in a proper . state to he liberated , consequently he should detain her until her friends came forward and became answerable for her future conduct . ' ' : .

following , and the prisoner was therefore requested to go out of the City . He refused , and was taken into custody , when some letters were found on him of a Chartist tendency . —Alderman Moon asked what the figure was intended to represent ? One of the officers said it was evidently intended to represent either the Bishop of Exeter or the Rev . Mr . Shore ; but the prisoner would give no information on the subject . —Carter , in defence , said that he was a carpenter by trade , but declined telling Ms motives for such conduct , or what object he had in v j ew >—Alderman . Moon said that he must be perfectly aware that such a proceeding would create a crowd , and thereby render the operations of thieves more effective . He must nay for the offence , 11 nHI
whether done out of a frolic or for a worse purpose , and therefore he was fined twenty shillings , or seven days' imprisonment . —The fine was paid . MAJNSION-HOUSE .-rWnoiiESALE Robbery , by a Clerk . —J . T . Hamilton , about eighteen years of age , was charged with having committed a ! series of robberies ; The prisoner had been received as a clerk into the warehouse of White and Co ., of Cheapside , Manchester warehousemen , about six months ago , in consequence of an introduction of the highest respectability , and he absconded about a fortnight ago , after having not only robbed his employers , but defrauded a number of tradespeople , to whom he represented himself as the son of a nobleman and heir to wealth and distinction . —Mrs .
Fairbridge , the wife of the warehouseman of White and Co ., stated that on the 7 th of May the prisoner came te her at her own door , and asked her to oblige him with £ 4 or £ 5 till he should return from Watling-street , at dinner time , as he wished to pay . a small account of £ 4 odd , in the counting-house below . He then put a piece of paper in her hand , purporting to be an order signed by him on Messrs . Tilleard , and said that , as they were not bankers , Mr . James Clarke , the cashier in the countinghouse , could not pay the cheque away with the other cash . He was , therefore , anxious to pay in the money at once , and requested the loan of the amount of the witness . To that request she acceded by handing : him over M in sovereigns and
halfsovereigns , the property of her husband . Upon leaving the house he said he would return at two o ' clock , and he accordingly came back and said that he was going to a party that evenifig , but he called in order to pay her . He then asked her if she had change for a £ 10 note , and he held a . pocket-book in his hand at the same time . She could not accommodate him , but told him that next day would do for the payment of the money . Since that time she had not seen him until he was apprehended . —Mr . White , the principal in the house of White and Co ., of Cheapside and Watling-street , said : " The prisoner was my clerk , and had been with me since last October . About a month ago a robbery took place in the counting-house in Watling-street , one
of the desks having been broken open and plundered of £ 5 . The prisoner was by no means suspected , but upon being taken into custody he confessed that he had broken open the desk and stolen the money , and he also admitted that he had supplied himself with cash by the most discreditable means . "—Inspector Mitchell , of the City police force , said the prisoner , upon being taken into custody , intimated that he wished to see Mr . White , to whom he would disclose all the particulars of his extravagance , and the means by which he carried on the war . —Alderman Carden asked Mr . White whether the prisoner had made the disclosures upon any promise of mercy?—Mi . White : there was not the . slightest promise made to him ; on the contrary , I told him
to be cautious what he said , as it would be used against him . Having heard of his extravagance , I asked him how he contrived to get the money with which to support it . He said there was no use in keeping hack the acknowledgment any longer , and he admitted the robbery m Watling-street , and other things . I have no doubt that I shall be able to bring forward some strong cases against him : The prisoner who held down his head during the examination , was then remanded . It was stated that the prisoner had ordered a carriage to be made for him , and had acted , ever since his connexion with Mr . White ' s house , with the most remarkable duplicity . MARYLEBONE . —Assault by a Solicitor . —Mr . George John Kcene , a solicitor ( who had been
• charged with having committed an assault of a very dangerous nature upon Mr . Henry Israel / clerk to Mr . Henry Humphrey , a solicitor ) , was brought up for re-examinati » n . —A brief investigation of the case was entered into on Friday , tho 18 th ult ., when the complainant , in consequence of the serious wounds he had received , was unable to attend . — The evidence was to the effect that on Thursday , the 17 th ult ., both complainant and defendant were at the Star and Garter , in the Edge wave-road ; that some unpleasant words took place between them , and that subsequently they commenced fighting . ' After some blows were interchanged they both fell . OnKeene getting up he said he had got enough , and the parties then shook hands , and appeared t » be reconciled ; but very shortly afterwards defendant seized an iron gaspipe key , with which he struck complainant a blow on the left side of tho
head . Mi-. Gaye , a neighbouring surgeon , on examining the wound , declared it to be of a very serious nature ; it was two inches in length over the left frontal bone , and had completely laid bare the skull ,. —The complainant , whose head was strapped up with adhesive plaister , appeared very weak , and exceedingly agitated . His evidence corroborated the above statement , and it appeared that the quarrel between the parties arose out of the defendant calling the complainant " alow Jew scamp , " in reply to which the latter threw out some imputations upon the defendant and a very near relative . —Mr . Long said it was evidence that the case was one on which a magistrate could not adjudicate . He would , therefore , commit the defendant for trial , but would take bail himself in £ 500 , and two sureties in £ 250 each . —The sureties were immediately entered into , and defendant will stand his trial at the Central Criminal Court for the offence .
WORSHIP-STREET . — Attempt to Poison a Hcsbaxd . —Eliza Schulenberger , a neatly-attired and rather good-looking young woman , was placed at the bar before Mr . llammill , charged with having administered repeated doses of poison to her husband , Philip Schulenberger , a master cabinetmaker in Austin-street , Bcthnal-grcen , with intent to murder him . —The prosecutor , a middle-aged German , whose face a ' nd person presented a very emaciated appearance , stated that he had been married about four years to the prisoner , by whom he had had one child , and with whom he had lived upon most affectionate terms until about two years since , when a marked alteration took place in her habits and demeanour , and she commenced absenting herself
from home at repeated intervals and entirely neglected her domestic duties . In spite of his remonstrances she persisted in the same course of conduct until about six months ago , when his health , which had been previously good , became suddenly and seriously impaired , and he experienced the most excruciating internal pains , accompanied by frequent sickness and a scorching sensation in his throat and chest . These symptoms became gradually more aggravated , particularly after having partaken of the meals prepared by the prisoner , until at length the whole of his hair fell off his head , and he was affected with constant nausea , which was followed by a repeated discharge of blood from the stomach . He had for a long time suspeeted that his illness
had been occasioned by something of a deleterious character having been administered to him by his wife , who was in the habit of constantly pouring out his tea before he sat down to table ; but about three weeks since , in order to satisfy his suspicions , he entered the room unexpectedly while she was preparing the meal , when she hastily removed the cup intended for his use to that part of the table where she was seated . Witness immediately examined the cup , and , finding that it contained some white powder , partially dissolved in a small quantity of tea , he applied part of the contents with the tip of his finger to his tongue , on which it left a strong acid flavour , and produced the same sickening sensation that he had so often before experienced after
his meals . On communicating this discovery to the prisoner , and intimating his suspicions ' of her conduct , she carelessly replied , that if he had found anything in the cup , it must have been placed there by the child ; but he told her that that was impossible , as he had seen her take the cup from a shelf , which the child could not reach , as it was only two years old . On the following morning , during the absence of the prisoner , he made a minute search in the bedroom , and at length discovered , concealed between two boxes , a packet containing some white powder of the same appearance and taste as that he had found in the tea cup . The prisoner shortly after returned , and upon showing her the powder , and inquiring what it was , she said that it was only
salts ot prunella , and urged hurt to throw it in the fire . He retained possession of it , howerer , until the following day , when he proceeded with'it , accompanied by his brother , to the residence of Mr . Ryan , a physician and operative chemist , who pronounced upon examination that it was almost entirely composed of arsenic " . Upon returning home with his brother , the latter upbraided the prisoner with her flagrant conduct in attempting to poison her husband , to which she made no reply at the time ; but as soon as his brother had left she became greatly agitated and said , " You are not dead , yet , although it is true I have given you poison , and Goa : forgive me for it . " On
the same evening her father galled to visit them , and the moment he entered the / room' the prisoner hastened towards him and exclaimed , "They ' ve found me out , and got it all' clear against me ; . for God ' s sake take me under ' ypiir protection . " , Witness then apprised her ' . father of her conduct towards him , intimatmgthediscbyery he had made that she had been * longtime p bisonuighiin by decrees , and that he was atthatmomerit in such a -state of torture that he was scarcely' able either to speak or stand , but the fatherexpressed his incredulity ! and cbnveyedher away to his own .

LAMBETH . —Fatal Pastime . — Two men named Somerton and Knightley , labourers , were pl « ced-at the bar on a charge of having caused the death ot William Nutt , also a labouring man . —Police-constablo Ratcliff deposed that , having been informed on the preceding evening that William Nuttlmd died in Guy * s Hospital , in consequence of an injury ^ he received on Sunday evening , he apprehended the prisoner Somerton . Knightley came to the stationhouse and delivered himself up , saying' he was willing to abide . any charge that might bepreferred wi
acainst him . From intorm . uion uuu jwuuim mm since obtained it appeared that on Sunday evening last the prisoners , tho deceased , and Others were playing at "leap-frog , " in Edward-street , Camberwell . In the course of the game , the prisoner Knightley pushed the deceased , and the latter fell over Somerton , who was in a stooping position at the time . The deceased fell upon his head , and Raising himself from the ground , he exclaimed , " For God ' s sakej go aud fetch me . a doctor , I am dying , " Those around him thought he was merely seized with fits , which he had been subject to ; but observing that he was not able to move , they carried him to Guy ' s Hospital , where , upon examinationit was found that he had received a , severe
in-, jury of the spine . He died about noon on Monday . Batcliff added that there did not appear to have been any bad feeling or animosity existing between the parties , and the unfortunate affair , from all he could learn , had occurred without any intention to injure . —The prisoners said tho statement of the officer was perfectly correct , and they were truly sorry for what had happened . —They were remanded to tho following day , to know the result of the coroner ' s inquiry . . , . A Wholesale Bukclab . —A notorious burglar , who gave the name of John Jones , was placed at the bar on suspicion with being concerned in the commission of a number of burglaries and robberies . —Police-constable Frederick Bowerman deposed .
that on that morning between the hours of one and two o ' clock , he saw the prisoner come over a hedge from some premises in Sy dney-place , South Lambeth , and suspecting all was not right , he asked him where he came from . The prisoner replied from the Elephant and Castle , and witness knowing this to be false , secured him and took him to the station-house . He there searched him , and found in his pockets a set of housebreaking implements , a box of lucifer matches , and other things . —Inspector Coleman informed the magistrate that , on Sunday night last , two burglaries had been committed in South Lambeth , and property to a considerable amount stolen ; and he had little doubt , from an entrv having been obtained to each of the houses
plundered by means of a centre-bit , that both the robberies had been effected by the prisoner or his associates . —Inspector Campbell stated , that within the last few weeks innumerable burglaries and robberies had been committed at Camberwell , Peekham , and their vicinity , and he ( Mr . Campbell ) had no doubt whatever , both from the fact of the prisoner having been observed lurking about those places , and the robberies having in all cases been effected by means of a centre-bit , that every one of them had been committed by the prisoner and his confederates . Mr . Campbell added , that one night four houses in succession were attempted to be broken into , but without success . All the houses in the row bore on their doors and shutters the marks of the centre-bit , and at one in particular a
desperate effort appeared to have been made by the burglars to effect an entrance , but this was prevented by the door 3 and shutters beinff lined with sheet iron . —Samuel Wright , a constable belonging to the P division , here said that about three weeks ago ho took the prisoner and another person into custody at Peckham , having found them lurking about and taking particular notice of the avenues and passages leading to several gentlemen ' s houses . On that occasion , when placed at the bar where he now stood , he gave the name of Foster , and said he worked in the docks ; and no house-breaking imple « ments having been found on him , he was discharged . —Another constable deposed to having been present when the prisoner was tried for felony , and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . —The prisoner was remanded for a week .
BOW-STREET . —Infanticide . —Catherine . Henessoy , a servant girl , about eighteen , years of age , was charged before Mr . Henry with having concealed the birth of a male illegitimate child . — The prisoner , it appeared , having been dismissed from service . about & month ago , went to reside with her father , at 3 , King-street , Drury-lane . A few days after sho applied for relief to a neighbour , a Mrs . Cain , living at No . 2 in tho same street , stating that her father had turned her out of doors and left her perfectly destitute . Mrs . Cain received her into tho house , but soon accused her of being in the family way—an imputation which she invariably denied with some show of indignation . She seemed occasionally to suffer severely from indisposition ,
and on the movning in question was up as early as three o'clock . Both Mrs . Cain and a Mrs . Taylor , another inmate of the house , observing that she repeatedly visited the water-closet , and remained there apparently in great agony , charged her with being in labour , and begged her to allow thorn to send for medical assistance , as it would be fatal to her to be unprepared for such an event ; but she still persisted in her former denial of the accusation , and attributed her illness to another cause . She afterwards told them that , as her father went out to his work usually at four o ' clock in the morning , she should go into the next house and lie down for a little while upon his bed , and sho then left for that purpose . After a short interval they found
her there in a state of exhaustion , looking extremely pale and thin , and tho latter circumstance induced hem to suspect that she had delivered herself of a child . She was implored to tell the truth , but she still declared that no more was the matter with her than with them . The women , however , were not satisfied with the statement , and said they should send for the parish doctor , upon which she expressed her willingness to be examined by . him . They then procured the attendance of Mr . W . Bennett , the surgeon of St . Giles ' s , andthc result of his examination confirmed their suspicions , ' upon which the prisoner was removed to the workhouse , nere she ultimately confessed , both to the surgeon and to the matron , that something had happened to
her while she was sitting on the watercloset at No 3 , ( her father ' s lodgings ) , but she believed it to be premature . —Bushfield , a constable of the F division , deposed that he had examined the cesspool referred to , and found a full-grown child imbedded in the soil . —Mr . Bennett , tho surgeon , proved that the child had gone its full time . There were no marks of violence upon it . It was a male infant . —The prisoner , after being cautioned in the usual form , stated that her father accused her of being with child , and desired her to go and sec aj doctor , but she went to Mrs . Cain ' s instead . They suspected her also , but she did not like to eonfess the truth ,
for fear they should treat her as her mistress had done . She was first accused of it by her mistress , Mm . Brandon , in the Strand , and Dr . Harrison , the family physician , was directed to examine her . The doctor reported that she was advanced in pregnacy , and Mrs . Brand « n said that if she would confess everything , she would do something for her perhaps . She ( the prisoner ) then told her all that had happened , from beginning to end , but instead of assisting her , her mistress ordered her to leave the house directly . This was why she had been afraid to confess her misfortune to her sister or to Mrs . Cain . —Mr . Henry committed her for trial .
Obstructing the Police . — Two men , named Rnsh and Wacoy , the former coachman ; and the latter footman , to Mr . Maple , were charged before Mr . Hall with being drunk and disorderly , and with assaulting the police in the execution of their duty . —Inspector Wilkinson , of the F division , stated that the prisoners after having last night set down tho ladies who composed their party at . the Royal Italian Opera House , took up a place with the carriage directly in front of the station-house in Bow-street , they were told that th » y could not lie allowed to stand there , but must go , on to the rank of private carriages in . 'Great Ilussell-street . The coachman Bush was about to drive thither , but Wacey interfered arid abused the . policeman Who had spoken to him , and ultimately struck both
the constable and the inspector . He was taken into the station-house ,, but there his conduct was more violent . " He jumped over the railings of the dockwhere he , was placed , and made a violent attack upon the policemen on . duty . It ultimately required six constables ' . to remove him to . the cell . In the meantime , the inspector observed that Rush who was very quiet , outside , was too drunk to take care of the horses , and had him : taken into the stationr ' iouse , where he also became very , violent . —Mr . Hall saiil that offences of this kind ' amongst the * srV ants " of , gentlemen visiting the' theatres were formerly very - - frequent , and the . magistrates at length ' , came fo ' . the resolution of punishing the offenders . at ; ' © nee . ; , ' with "imprisonment ; without giving „ them .-the ' , -option of a fine .

ITALY . The defeat of the Neapolitans , on the 19 th ult ., at Velletri , is confirmed . ' The Minister of War and Marine of Rome , Joseph Avezzana , publishes two bulletins signed by Rosselli , Commander-iu-Chief of the Roman troops sent against the Neapolitans : the first , dated from head quarters " under Velletri . at one o ' clock after midnight on the 20 th , stating that the Neapolitans , 6 , 000 in number . Ballied from Velletri on the 19 th . and attacked the Roman vanguard
under GaribaWi , but were repulsed with the loss of thirty prisoners and many dead and wounded ; the muin body coming up under General Rosselli , then attacked Vellem , and the fire lasted till darfe . The second bulletin is dated from Velletri itself , at halfpast nine a . m . of the 21 sfc , and announces that , the advanced detachments , sent forward to reconnoitre , discovered that the town had been evacuated during the night by the Neapolitans . The Romans were in the act of entering it at the time stated by the bulletin .
AUSTRIA , HUNGARY , AND RUSSIA . The report of the capture of Buda by the Magyars is fully confirmed . , A letter from Warsaw says : — "The German journals have informed you of the movement of Russian troops , which have crossed the Polish frontier with a view to the occupation of the ancient kingdom of Poland . The following is , as nearly [ as possible , the exact position of the Russian army : — " The 3 rd and 4 th' divisions , under the orders of Generals Rudiger and Geodarief , have alone as yet been called to act in Hungary , forming together an army of about 100 , 000 men , of which 20 , 000 will be stationed in Galicia , to prevent any attempt of the Hungarians upon that province . Another division of
20 ) 000 men : under the orders of General Freytag , will remain at Bukowine . Tbe 5 tu division will occupy Moldavia and Wallachia . " The 1 st and 2 nd divisions , consisting of Grenadiers , will remain in the kingdom of Poland . This aviny is 120 , 000 strong . The 3 rd division ( Grenadiers ) will remain in Lithuania . A reserve division of cavalry will guard the frontier of Podalia . The sixth division of the army has left Moscow , and is advancing on Brzesi , constituting the reserve of the army of Poland . Prince . Paskewitch will take the chief command of the operations against the Hungarians . The Imperial Guards , who had been ordered to march , have , it is said , received counterorders to remain at St . Petersburgh . The guards are said not to like the Russian intervention in
Hungary . The plan of the Hungarians is said to be to retire before the Russians and Austrians , as they did before Windischgratz in ( he month of January , giving up all the towns and fortresses between the Danube and tlie Theiss , with the exception of Oomorn , and thus to draw the Russians and Austrians into the old Magyar fighting ground , ' the morasses of Upper Hungary , where fever and ague will do their work among the unseasoned troops of Russia and Austria in summer , as cold and wet did their work in winter . TERRIBLE DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANSGLORIOUS VICTORY OF THE HUNGARIANS .
The Augsburg Gazette , has the following from Posen of the 20 th : — " The advanced guard of the Russians has been unexpectedly attacked , and destroyed by a division under Dembinski , near Jordanow , in Galicia , not far " from the frontier of Hungary . 2 , 000 Russians were left on the fieli of battle , and twenty cannon fell into the hands of the victors . It is said that the Hungarians have possessed themselves of Lembeiy , but this require * cmfirraation . It is certain , however , that Dembinski wishes to pass into Poland by Galicia , and , on that account , a Rus-ian force of 45 , 000 men has occupied the camp of Kalisch , and is to remain on the frontier .

The following appeared in our Town Edition of last week ;—
FRANCE . Paris , Wednesday . —To-day the National Assembly , after a great deal of noise and confusion , proceeded to divide on the motion brought forward yesterday by General Cavaignac , modified by a phrase proposed by MM . Jolly and Bastide , to the following effect : — " To take measures necessary to preserve the independence and liberty of nations . " General Cavaignae objected to this addition on the ground that it went beyond what lie wished or proposed . The motion of General Cavaignac was then put and carried par assis tt leye . The additional phrase was rejected by a majority of 346 votes to 269 , and finally the ensemble of the order of the day , as proposed by General Cavaignac , was adopted , on a sorutin de division , by a majority of 436 to 1 S 4 . The following is the text of General Cavaiguac's motion , as finally adopted by the above division : — " The National Assembly calls the serious attention
of the government to the events and tho movements of troops which are taking place in Europe ; and , prc-occupied by the danger of that state of things , as well for tl > e welfare ot liberty as fov the interioi " and exterior interests of the Republic , ifc recommends to the government to take the measures necessary to protect them energetically , and passes to the order of the day . " Paris , Thursday . —Quantities of troops are coming into Paris . The 6 th battalion of Chasseurs a Pied left Strasbourg on the morning of the 20 th inst . for Paris , being suddenly summoned thither . The battalion of the Mobile Guards which showed such a . Socialist feeling at Blaye is about to be disbanded , and the men draughted into divers regiments . Nothing is yet positive about the formation of General Bugcaud ' s ministry . Great efforts are being made to join with him both Odillon Bawot and Dufaure ; no agreement , however , has been as yet come to .
