two sisters in Edinburgh who were in affluent circumstances . —Upon this statement the prisoner was remanded for the purpose of inquiring B . S to the truth of her statements . She refused , however , to afford any further information to the officers , so that they were unable to test the truth of her assertions . With regard to her statement that she had an account at Goutts ' , that proved to he untrue , for the answer to the inquiry at that establishmeni was , that such a person was " not known" there . — Mr . Witbam now sentenced her to imprisonment for six months and hard labour .
Curious Case . —Mary Ann Keough , 30 , was indicted , charged with having committed an assault , and with having beaten William James Broad water . In this case the prosecutor is a surgeon , practising in Cannon-street road . Whitechapel . He now stated that some years since the prisoner had . been in his service , and that while in that capacity an intimacy had sprung up between them , the result ot which had been that she had given birth to a child , of which he was the father . After the birth , not only had he not denied that he was the father , but ho had paid the whole of the expenses consequent upon the mother ' s confineme&t , and had subsequently made a provision for the child . The mother , unhappily gave way to intemperate habits , and having beea accused of
having abandoned and deserted another child which Bhe had had , he had deemed it a prudent act in reference to his own child to take it from her care and place ifc out to nurse . Subsequently to this proceedir . g , in consequence of the annoyances he bad received from the defendant , he had , under advice , placed the child in the workhouse . The child was now three years of age , About two years ago iLe defendant assaulted him , and for that violence she had been committed , but he had on that occasion abstained from prosecuting , with the itope that the mere committal would act as a salutary warning to her . The example , however , had tailed in its effect , and he had therefore been made the subject of the woman ' s annoyance at least fifteen or sixteen times since that committal . On these occasions the defendant had threatened that
she would "do" for him . Upon the 19 th of September he went out , hut bad not proceeded above a hundred yards before the defendant caught bold of him by the coliar and struck him several severe blowa on the chest and shoulders . Uofc approving of this proceeding the prosecutor returned borne , whither he was followed by the defendant and the mob her conduct had collected . The defendant and tbe mob remained in the front of his bouse , creating a great disturbance for nearly two boars , and this was not discontinued until he bad called in the aid of a policeman , to whom he was compelled to give tbe defendant in custody . She was in due course taken before the magistrate at the Thames Police Court , and by tbe advice of that
learned gentleman it was that thia indictment had been preferred . The defendant now urged that she bad not been permitted to see her child since it had been taken from her care , and that she had heard that it had become emaciated , and was , in fact , reduced to a perfect shadow in bodily appearance . She added that the prosecutor was spiteful to her because the child ' s nurse had summoned him for money due for the nursing . The prosecutor admitted that he had been summoned , but explained that the nurse had not been paid in consequence of some misunderstanding . The whole of the claim liad since been paid . In reference to the defendant ' s statement as to the present condition of the child , that was utterly untrue ; for having heard the reports which the defendant bad put into circulation on the subject be had made regular inquiries as to the condition of tbe child , and the replies had been most satisfactory . If , therefore , the defendant ' s
assertion as to the emaciated state of the child hud been trnc he should have ascertained the fact , and , of course , would then have adopted steps for- its recovery . —Mr . Witham then left the case to the jury , who returned a verdict of Guilty . —Mr . Witham said , the Court were not desirous of dealing harshly or oppressively with the defendant . It was necessary , however , that tbe peace should be preserved . "With the view , then , of compelling her to maintain the peace the Court would order the defendant to eater into her own recognisances in the sum of £ 20 to come up for judgmeut when called on . Tae defendant must therefore clearly underiUndtaat , if . she repeated her system of annoyance of the prosecutor , she would be called up for judgment , wheaier reward wonld be an imprisonment for SIX months . The defendant having entered into the required recognisances was then liberates .
Assatjei oh A Policeuah . —Patrick Lavine , 25 , was indicted , charged with having felonwualj as * Baulted Darid Jones , one of tbe police force , when m the execution of his . duty , with the latent of preventing hia own lawfiri apprehension . The prisoner was aJao further charged with having iiifiicted ^ I ? bodL | y harm upon the said David Jones , ! £ « n-V £ - acommonai 8 * - Ifc appeared that ™ £ ?

In the progress of this struggle the prosecutor ' s truncheon came oat of his pocket , and therefore , as soon as the prisoner had succeeded in partially releasing Himself from the officer he contrived to seize the truncheon , - with which he at oajje commenced * fearful attack opon its owner .

fected his escape , and the constable liad been from that morning under the medical treatment of the surgeon to the division of the police force , and had not as yet been able to resume his duties . It further appears that the prisoner , aftor his escape from the prosecutor , had accompanied a woman to a brothel in Brick-lane , and that while there he produced the truncheon , and boasted that he had been in a row with a policeman . It was stated by the prosecutor that during the earlier part of the Struggle the prisoner had threatened to put three inches of steel into his body . Thejury returned a verdict of Guilty , and Mr . Witham thereupon sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment with bard labour .

Terrific Explosion and Loss of Life at Zante . —A correspondent , dating Corfu , Sept . 20 , says : ¦ — " The Medusa , which arrived on . Tuesday from the Ionian Islands , brought accounts of a most distressing accident which occurred very lately at Zante . A small house , on the . ground floor of which was a shop kept by a Greek caught fire ac « cidentally . The major of the 41 st regiment turned out immediately with a party of his soldiers to aid in extinguishing it . The townspeople also flocked to the place in great numbers , to render what assistance they could . But before the fire could be extinguished , it had reached the second storey , and all of a sudden a most awful explosion ensued . It appears that two barrels of gunpowder had been imprudently concealed in a closet adjoining one of the rooms in the second storey . At the
veryfmoment of the explosion several persons were on the roof of the house , and the result can easily be imagined . Eleven men perished at once , and among these a drummer of the 41 st regiment .- The major of theBame corps was severely wounded , and equally so were no less than 150 of the inhabitants . It is feared tbat several of the wounded will lose their lives . We have not been able to ascertain what became of the owner of the building . He may have pemhed under tbe ruins ; but if be can be laid hold of , he will soon be brought to a very severe account for his folly , carelessness , and for breaking the law which justly and strictly forbids any one from keeping in a dwelling within the town at one time more than three pounds weight of powder . Thia sad accident had naturally thrown a deep gloom over all the residents ia Zante .
The Ciit ' Rkfobmiko Itself . —At a meeting of tbe Court of Common Council , Mr . Alderman Lawrence , after several observations upon the report of the * Committee upon the Election Act Amendment Act , moved that the Court adopt the following words contained in the first paragraph .

" Mr . Alderman Sydney seconded tbe motion , and said he believed that if the Court adopted it they would have the approbation of the world , and even of the " Times " itself . After considerable discussion the motion was carried . ^ Zva ^™ ?*? * P ' J-011 * 1011 . from Newport , n&iaa ^ Mjr 1 * ' * ' * -- *

On Saturday morning last , in consequence of what I heard from my brother , I went to the defendant , and asked her if ahe had heard anything of her child , when she said she had not , and that she should not trouble herself to look after ber any more . I told her I thought she had better go to the workhouse to see if she was there , as it was such a wet night , when she said she would not do anything of the sort , and she should be glad if the child was out In the wet and lying under a hedge . She told me that she had given her A good heating with a stick and burnt her bottom with a poker , which she had taken red-hot from the fire .
She did not consider it would have been any sin to have " put away with it" if nothing had been found out respecting it . On Sunday I went to Kew and examined the child ' s person , when I found upon the right side of her posteriors the marks of a burn , as if caused by a red hot poker as described ; it was as broad as three of my fingers and as lon # as mv hand ; it was very sore and inflamed , and is so at the present time . The poor child cannot yet sit without experiencing much pain . —Mr . Long after making some suitably strong and feeling remarks upon the flagrant namreof the offenoe , remanded the defendant . .

to escape , when the prisoner Willis suddenly snatched bis cap off his head and ran with It intO one of the Louses in an adjoining court .

show me all the money you're got , you don t go safe out of this place . " They wore all very much frightened , and the witness pulled out of his pocket all the money he had , consisting only of sixpence in silver and some halfpence , and the instant the prisoner saw it she Beized him by the arm and violently forced it out of his hand . She then robbed the second boy of all the money he had in a similar mauner , but , on finding that she could not get any from the third youth , as he 'had no money about him , she grasped hold of the poker , and opening the room door , told them that unless they instantly left the house and . went quietly out of tbe neighbourhood it would be the worse for them , as she would dash their brains but . They were too glad of the chance of escape to make any disturbance , and all three hurried out of the house together ; but on
turning into a neighbouring street , encountered a policeman , to whom they related the way in which they had been robbed , and the officer having gone back with them to the house , took into custody both prisoners , whom witness at once pointed out to him . —Both prisoners stoutly denied the charge , and Willis declared with the greatest effrontery that the money taken from her by the officer , had been voluntarily presented to her by one of the youths , in consequence of her permitting him to accompany her home ; but the Magistrate did not credit her ttory , and After directing Shannon to be discharged , as he did not think the facts against her sufficiently criminatory to insure a conviction , ordered the other woman , Willis , to be committed until tbat day week , for the completion of the depositions against her .

of them drinking with him , and , seizing up the pot , hurled it at h « r head with such force that she instantly 'dropped from the blow , her head was laid open with a fearful gash , and the blood run from the wound in such profusion that she was obliged to be conveyed to the hospital , of which she was still an inmate . —The prisoner pleaded circumstances of aggravation , as he considered them , but was ordered to be-remanded until the result of the injuries the woman had received could be ascertained . Charge of Mubder . —Joseph Parker , a middleaged labouring man , was charged upon suspicion of having murdered Anne Parker , his wife . —Silvester , a constable , stated : About half-past tseven o ' clock on Saturday night I was ou duty near
Jsaoredltch Church , when the prisoner's brother ran up to me in great alarm and told me he was afraid the prisoner ' s wife was dead . I immediately hastened to No . 5 , Edward ' a-place , Old Street-roau , the house indicated , and on going upstairs to tho front room first floor I saw the prisoner ' s wife lying on the floor , bleeding from a terrible cut on the forehead , over the eye , and with the assistance of another constablo who then came into the room , we placed her upon a chair . She was speechless and totally insensible ; and , as she was evidently in extreme danger , we procured a cab , in which we placed her , and conveyed her to the hospital . When I first entered the house I saw the prisoner sitting in the room below stairs , in a Btate of partial intoxication , but apparently well
Knowing what he was doing . As soon aB the woman was carried away in the cab I went back tO the house and took him into custody . I told him I took him for violently assaulting his wife , to which he made no reply ; but on the way to the station he said , I have done nothing more than my duty , " which he repeated several times , and , on reaching the station , he said , " I will be strong at heart and stand to my text . " He refused to give his name or address , to have the charge entered against him j he fell down in a fit and struggled very much . On examining the room where I had fket discovered the deceased , I saw a great quantity of blood upon tlie bed , pillows , and sheets , but , though I minutely searched tbe place , I could find no weapon of any
kma that waB likely to have caused the injury the woman was suffering under . On first seeing the deceased I saw blood issuing from her mouth as well as from the wound in her forehead , but not a great deal . — "William Smart , a tinplate-worker , said : About three o ' clock on Saturday afternoon the prisoner ' s wife came to me , and was followed by the prisoner immediately . As soon as he got in he attempted to strike her with his fist , but I went in between them to prevent it . He urged his wife to go home , but Bhe refused , as Bhe was in danger of her life from him . She was at that time not sober , and my wife saw her home . That was about four o'clock , and at five I saw the prisoner coming out of his house . —
I a « ked after his wife , and he said , " I have given her something , to tell her brother that I was the cause of the drunk . " I said , " I don't know whether you are the cause of her drunkenness , but you set her a very bad example j you are always drunk , and some of these days you will do her 6 orao mischief , and then be sorry for it . " The prisoner then left the court , half drunk and half sober , and rather excited , When called upon for his defence , the prisoner denied the violence imputed to him , and accounted for the condition the deceased had been found in by stating that she had fallen out of bed and injured herself in tho manner described j but lie w . aa remanded for a week for the completion of the depositions .
Charge or Murder , —Charles Jarmain , a' horsekeeper in the service of Mr . George Page , a cab proprietor in James-street , Mile-end Old Town , was charged with the wilful murder of a man named Plimpton , a stableman in the same employment . —John Marshall said : I am also in the service of Mr . Page as a labourer , and knew tbe deceased , who was engaged in the stables . About one o ' clock thia ( Wednesday ) afternoon I was busy in one of the lofts , when I heard the prisoner and the deceased quarrelling at a stable door on the opposite side . The deceased bad a mop in his hand , and the prisoner had the stable-fork produced in bis . Some more words ensued between them , and 1 then saw the deceased strike the prisoner with the mop
across his shoulder ; they were facing each other , and he struck him apparently as hard as he could . The prisoner upon thntexclaimeo " , ' * I will stake the —— with this fork , " but did not strike the deceased , and I went back into the loft , and did not sea what afterwards took place . About a quarter of an 'hour afterwards , however , I had occasion to go down into the stable , and then saw the deceased lying upon the ground fainting and speechless . I lifted him up , but lie could not utter a word , and I then saw that he was bleeding , but not profusely , from a wound in tbe breast , just beneath the nipple . The deceased had only his shirt on , and the prisoner , who waa standing by his side assisted him , ran off for a small quantity of brandy ,
which he poured down the deceased ' s throat , but I still did not hear him utter a word . The prisoner , I , and another man then carried the deceased to some clean straw , upon whick we laid him , and I went to get ray dinner , leaving tho priaoner and another man with him . On my return I still found the deceased lying on the straw , whether alive or dead then I do not know , but he was perfectly still . The other man was at that time looking to the deceased , while the prisoner was getting his horses read y in the same atablo , and he remained there for a whole quarter of an hour . A cabman and another horsekeeper then came in , when by their advice we took the deceased to the London Hospital , and upon searching about I found the fork the prisoner had had in an adjoining stable . —The ttrisoner
here incautiously . asked the witness : Did you see what the deceased had done to me before I struck him with the fork ? The witness replied in the negative , and the magistrate directed the question and answer to be at onco taken down by Mr . Vine , the chief clerk . —Henry Taylor , a constable in the K division , stated : About half-past two this ( Wednesday ) afternoon I received information of the deceased having been killed by the prisoner , and therefore lay in wait at the end of the Bethnalgreen-road to effect his apprehension . A short tiulO after the prisoner came d < wm the road with a pair of horses , and I immediately stopped him , and told him he must RO to the station-house with me . I was about to tell him what 1 wanted him for , but
before I could do so he Baid , I know what you want me for ; is he dead ? " I said I believed he was , [ and he replied , "He threw me down behind akicking horse , and I therefore struck him with the fork , and it went into his breast . " He then said , " Take me straight to the station as soon as you can , but don't take me into the yard sgain . " I was however obliged to take him into the yard , and then transferred him to the station . —Sergeant Curtis , 13 K , 6 aid : I went to Mr . Page ' s yard at two o ' clock to capture the prisoner , but did not find him there , though he was afterwards brought in by the last witness , and I overheard him repeat the observation as to til 8 ( le-Ceased liaviog tbrown him down behind a kinkino
horae , and his dealing him a thrust in return with the fork . The prisoner then ' added , " After I had struck him with the fork lie ran me half Way lOUud the yard , bo that I did not think there was mud the matter with him . " When the priaoner first be gan to make this statement I told him to be cautious what he said , as it would- be used against him , and he cried very much and seemed very lorn The witness produced the instrument - with whinh ¥ J ^ ffi !^ P ^< £ i £ S « stable fork , the tines of which exhibitprl no aMmo ofWood , a « ttJiadevidentlybwftSrSd * bB ? thJ witness Marshall positively iiffitt'KSS he had seen in . the possession of the priaoner at the

mer did not deny it . The first witness also added , in answer to a question , that though the deceased , on his way to the hospital , was perfectly speechless and rapidly sinking , he did not appear to be dead , - but that directly afteRhe reached tbat institution it was pronounced by the surgeon who examined him that his life was extinct . —The prisoner , who while at the Dar seemed to be perfectly careless as to tho evidence detailed against him , and afterwards went soundly to sleep on being locked up in the cell , offered no observations in reply to the charge , and , the witnesses having signed their depositions , he was remanded until that day week for the attendance of the surgeon to depose to the appearances upon tho post mortem examination .

Tardley : And so he had a right to do so . You had no business to take him into custody , and he is discharged . It does appear that he knew thp act of parliament better than you . —The prisoner was then discharged .
( Attempted Murder . —JohttCoghlan , aged thirty eight , an Irish labourer , was brought before Mr .

Lemanstreet she was apparently in a dying state , and no time was lost in procuring the aid of Mr . Little and Mr . Oomley , two surgeons residing in the neighbourhood , who attended immediately . It was some time before she exhibited any signs of life , and she was afterwards removed with all possible care to the hospital . He afterwards went to the prisoner's house and took him into custody . Upon making him acquainted with the charge against him , and that his wife was likely to die before he got back to the station house , the prisoner savagely exclaimed , "And a b y good job too if she was to die ; she has been drunk all the week . " Foay then put in a certificate from Mr . Reed , house 6 urgeon of the London
hospital , stating that the patient had received a severe incieed wound on the scalp , and tbat some of her ribs were fractured . —Mr . Yardley : The certificate does not state ahe is in danger . ' When is she likely to be able to appear?—Foay : It will be some time first . She lost a large quantity of blood , and has received a frightful wound on her head . She is quite insensible , and has never spoken since she was taken to the hospital . —Mia .

^ m >*— ——" Yb Bachelors or ENOLAMD " REJOICE ! — The Roman censors frequently imposed fines on unmarried men , and men of full age were obliged to inarry . The Spartan women , at certain games , laid hold of old bachelors , dragged them round their altars , and inflicted on tbem various marks of infamy and disgrace . After twenty-five years of age , a tax was laid upon bachelors in England-- £ 2 2 % . for a duke , and for a common person , Is , —7 William III ., 1695 .

On the 27 th the crew discovered she had sprung an extensive leak , which soon rendered her completely unmanagable—this was in ] at . 45 . 47 , long 54 . 3 G-. tho water increasing fast , and tha ship settling down by the heap ; the launch was got out , and the master , Captain Roallans , ordered the crew to get into it ; but although every persua « sion was used , only six men with the mate could
