      Northern Sjy/J Office, Saturday Afternoo...

      NORTHERN Sjy / j OFFICE , Saturday Afternoon . Ministerial Movement . —L ' „ will be seen by the report of the Court ne . vfjian , given above , that Lord Palmeratou was not present at the council at Windsov , vcsterda 7 , when Lord Granville was formallv invested with the authority of the Foreign Oriice . Lord Stanley , of A * derloy , tho Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs , has resigned . The ministerial " Globe " last nig t places in the most prominent position amongst its leading articles a statement to this rff- > ct in Paris on Tuesday : —

      " The only thing Ulked of is the retirement of Lord Pahnerston from the English ministry . It has created great sensation , 1 ms there is almost a general feeling cf satisfaction at finding that the whig cabinet remains . The frequenters of the Elysee assert in the most positive manner , that tho French government has done nothing , directly or indirectly , to produce the resignation of Lord Palmerston , * and that the statement of his , having given instructions to the Marquis oi Normanby to demand guarantees horn . Louis Napoleon as to his future policy , was utterly unfounded . Lord A ormauby , they say , has had no official interview with the President since the 2 nd instant . He has been

      frequently with him , hut not officially ; and everything has indicated the determination of the prince to cultivate friendly relations with England . Dreadful Attempt at Murder . —DusnALK , Dec . 25 th . —A dreadful attempt has been made to murder a landlord ( Mr . James Eastwood , of Castletown , in the county of Louth ) , who resides within one mile of this town . It appears that Mr . Eastwood was yesterday evening found lying in a quarry , within a few perches of his own house . He was perfectly insensible , and up to the present moment is unable to give any account whatever of the transaction , lie was found in the quarry by a girl joing to her home , who , seeing him lying on his face , supposed him to be a drunken man . On telling him to get up be began to groan . She then went over to him , and , finding that he was Mr . Eastwood , she alarmed the neighbourhood , when he was removed to his house . Dr . Urunkor and

      Dr . Pollock were in immediate attendance upon tbe unfortunate gentleman , and rendered all the assistance in their power . His head having been shaved they found three deep cuts on the ri ght side , his ear was split , his cheek dreadfully lacerated , and one of his eyes nearly forced out . A stone was found within a few feet of where he lay . It was long , and of an oval shape , and one end of it was covered with blood and hair . The miscreant , or miscreants , who maltreated Mr , Eastwood deprived him of bis gold watch , leaving a strong steel chain round his neck to which it had been attached .

      MBL . ' .. vcnoLY Death . —On Christmas Day Mr . J . Douglas , a special pleader , who resided at No . 3 , Garden-court , Temple , was found dead in his chambers , having a very deep wound in his head . It is supposed that on retiring to his bedroom he was seized with vertigo , and fell against the key in the door lock , being a heavy man , the key inflicted the wound , and his weight acting against it tore away the bone . On the laundress arriving in the morning she immediately called in Mr . Hutchinson , surgeon , of Chancery-lane , who attended promptly , but life had been extinct above half an hour . The

      deceased was about sixty years of age . Fire at tub Gloucester Hotel , Greenwich . — Yesterday morning a destructive fire broke out at the Gloucester Hotel , in Silver-street ; the engines soon arrived , but the fiames were not subdued until a serious amount of valuable property was reduced to ashes . Christmas Parcels . —The number of parcels passing "in" and " out" of the Eiiston-square terminus ofthe London and North-Western Hailway during the week , has amounted to nearly 40 , 000 . Out of these 40 , 000 parcels , but two of them had the addresses lost . One of the trains brought up ten tons of poultry .

      Bcrt St . Edmund ' s , Dec . 24 .. —This day a farmer , named William B . tldry , living at Preston , near L-ivenham , was fully committed , charged with an attempt to poison his wife . It is important to add , as assigning a motive for the commission of the alleged ' crime , that the wife stated that some time ago she had a sum of money left her , part of which she gave to her husband . Latterly he had pressed her for the remainder , which she refused to give him , and that over since he had treated her harshlv .

      Lauxch of the Royal Mail Steamer Arabia . — On Wednesday an addition was made to the Cun . ird line of Ttoval American mail steamers by the launch of the Arabia , from the shipbuilding-yard of Messrs . Steel and Co ., Greenock . The Arabia promises to he one of the most magnificent steamers afloat , and it is confidently expected that she will fully equal , if not surpis =, " any thing that has yet been done by Ihe Cunard liners . The engines are side levers of the largest size , we believe , ever put on board a vessel , the cylinders being 103 inches in diameter , with a nine-feet stroke . The collective power of the two engines will be upwards of 1 , 000 horsepower , working a low pressure .

      Darin g Burglary . —Saffron Waldes . —On Tuesday morning the shop of Mr . Henry Kent , jeweller . tnd silversmith , in High-street , was entered by thieves , who gained an entrance by breaking through the lath and plaster wall , by which a hole was made large enough to admit of a man to creep throush . Mr . Kent , who was sleeping in a room on the same floor , hearing a noise in tbe shop , immediately rushed in , when the light was extinguished - ¦ . nd the robber escaped , leaving behind him a rope ladder , large clasp knife , umbrella , macintosh , a box of lucifors , and ** , larac bag , which was evidently intended to nlace the booty in ; a tray of welding rinjrs , and a " few articles of silver were the only goods missed .

      FOREIGN . THE ELECTION'S . Pasi * , Friday Morning . —The result of the polls in eighty-one departments , of which twenty-three are complete , are as follows : — 000

      Yes 0 , 011 . No - ' . The " Journal des Debats" has a leading article in which it says , thitt without discussing the oiijin of ihegovernmen ! , it will approve honestly of the measures adopled by it for the sake of order ami pub ic prosperity . ... The garrisons of the towns are overwhelmed with civilities by the municipalities , and iuvited to take punch i" the sa ' oons of theatres . For some reason unknown , the troops in saveral quarters were under arms last ni ght , as if dangers were apprehended .

      The ne- * s of Lord Paloierston ' s resignation received in Paris sounded like an echo from the shores of Britain ofthe thundering coup d ' etat ol December 2 nd . From the joy testified by Urn eiienves of all lii-erty , civil or religious , ,-it this eremit is evident that the fall of the Foreign Si-civtary is regarded as the precursor of concessions on the part ^ if England to the military despots of Europe , which will end inUhe constitutional flag biiiiig hauled down in those countries where it has been maintained hitherto in spite of menaces from ail quarters . The Liberals , however , do notecase to i * ope that the successor if Lord P , timcrston will not abandon the cause of freedom and civilisation , and display as much firmness as the late Foreign Secretary did energy and spirit . AMERICA . —Southampton , December 20 . —The Dniied States Mail steam ship Humboldt , Captain Lines , from New York , en route for Havre , arrived off Cowes at eleven o ' clock this morning .

      In the Semite , on the 12 th inst ., the resolution to welcome Ivossoth w . is carried by a majority of twenty seven . The numbers , were thirty-three for , six against . The result was hailed by applause in th * - " galleries . The grand corporation dinner to Kossuth rook pi ice at Irving ' s Hotel on the evening of the lltb . It was * a very grand affair , and upwards of 5 « 0 o ! the principal citizens of Jfew York were present . Every seat was occupied . Kossuth , on bis entrance into the banqueting-room , was received with great enthusiasm . On his health being drank in the following words J— " The Guest of the X-tion—the man of " the age—exile tried his virtues—misfortune tests his greatness—his glory waits upon the deliverance of his country , "—Kossuth stood up , and made a speech which occupied nearly two hours and a half in delivery .

      - Kossuth was still in Xew York . Tlis time was principally occup ed in receiving addresses fiom various bodies and giving replies .

      " Stbeplr Jack at Edinburgh . —Messrs . Adie and Son , of Edinburgh , have been engaged by the Commissioners of Woods and Forrests to erect a lightning conductor upon the spire of the Assembly Hall of that city , and the larger part of the expense being tho scaffolding , it was recommended that that renowned climber , James Wright , alias " Steeple Jack . " should be applied to for the purpose of ascending the spire ; which he at once undertook to do . By flying a kite over the spire of the Hall , he got an attachment of the -line to the cross at the top , and , by this means , curried up a

      strong block and tackle . A rope and pully were attached to the cross at the lop of the spire , one end of the rope having attached to it a board on which Jack sat while he ascended , and the other having a weight fixed to it , for the purpose of enabling him better to regulate his ascent . Jack mounted the spire with as much dexterity and fear , les-sness as a squirrel would mount a tree . On completing the accent , he doffed his cap and bowed to the spectators , who had by this time collected in an immense crowd , and . gave Jack several enthusiastic rounds of cheering . - Gold i . v ths Sandwich Islavds . —Letters from fidttS ? tbat £ ° ld in Ereat abundancc had b »»

      Vice Chancellor's Court? Soltau V. De He...

      VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT ? Soltau v . De Held . —The Monastery at Clapham . — Judgment . — This case , which had been argued for three days , received judgment on Tuesday . Tho case came on a demurrer to a bill for an injunction to restrain the ringing of the bells at the monastery of the ltodemptiouist Fathers at Acre-lane , Clapham . The demurrer was for want of equity generally , for that the nuisance complained of v-rs not a private nuisance , and therefore the Attorney-General should have been made a party , and that the action at law upon which the plaintiff had obtained a verdict was not the case upon which the bill was framed , neither were the statutory prohibitions effectual . At the conclusion

      ofthe arguments upon the demurrer , his Honour simply overruled it , and reserved his opinion therefore until he had heard the motion . —The Vice-Chancellor , in giving judment , cited several cases in print . It appeared to his Honour that tho plaintiff had diligently asserted his rights , and was entitled to the injunction , but only on the terms of the latter part of the injunction asked for , — namely , to restrain the defendant , and all persons acting under his directions , or by his authority , from tolling or ringing the bells in the plaintiff ' s bill mentioned , or any of them , so as to occasion any nuisance , disturbance , and annoyance to the plaintiff and his family residing in the plaintiff ' s dwelling-house in the bill mentioned .

      York. Murder At Wakefield.—Sarah Ann Hil...

      YORK . Murder at Wakefield . —Sarah Ann Hill , 25 , was indicted for wilful murder at Wakefield on the 20 th of October last . —The evidence was chiefly circumstantial , the prisoner being charged with the murder of her newly-horn infant . The jury found tbe ^ prisoner Guilty , and his lordship sentenced her to death , holding out no hope that mercy would he extended to her . Felonious Assault on a Marhieo Woman . — Simeon Stocks , 20 , and John Morris , 21 , wore charged with having , on the 16 th of July last , at Birstel , near Leeds , feloniously assaulted Bridget Brannagan . —It was proved in the clearest manner that the prisoners had committed the offence with which they were charged under circumstances of great atrocity , and they were sentenced to transportation for ten years .

      Messrs . Kitson and Co . ' s Strike . —James Wilkinson and John Ackroyd were indicted for having , on the 17 th of last November , unlawfully wounded Robert Mortimer , at Leeds . —This case arose in consequence of and was connected with a turn-out of the workmen of Messrs . Kitson and Co ., of Leeds , engineers , in whose employment the prosecutor was engaged as a smith and forgeman after the turn-out . The prisoner Wilkinson had formerly been in Messrs . Kit-son ' s employment until tho turn-out took place a few months ago . The

      prosecutor refused to join in the turn-out , and continued in Messrs . Kitson ' s employment , and in consequence became very obnoxious to those who bad been his fellow workmen . It became necessary for Messrs . Kitson to employ other workmen from a distance , and those men and the men who refused to join the turn-outs were called " nob-sticks , " and " black sheep , " and were insulted by the workmen who had joined the strike in going to ' and returning home from work . These annoyances proceeded to such an extent that in October last it was found

      necessary to place police officers near tbe works of Messrs . Kitson to protect the men and preserve the peace . This state of things continued till the morning of the 17 th of last November , and as the prosecutor was going to his work about half-past six o ' clock , and when about 100 yards from his own house , which was at a place called Richmond Hill , he was set upon by three men standing in the road , one of whem he saw was the prisoner Wilkinson , whom he had known for fourteen years . Wilkinson struck him withabludgeon . whichknooked him down into the hedge bottom ; another of the men , whom the prosecutor believed to bo Holmes , then advanced towards him , as the prosecutor thouclit , intending to strike him . ; and being armed with a revolver

      pistol for his protection , in consequence of these repeated attacks , he pulled it out of his pocket , and fired one of the barrels at the man he took to be Holmes . The men then all ran away , the prosecutor firing three or four barrels after them as they ran , and shouting out " Murder" at the same time . The prosecutor then returned home , having received a severe contusion at tlie right side of his head . Information was immediately given to the police , and Wilkinson and Holmes were appro handed . Ackroyd was subsequently taken to the House of Correction at Wakefield for another offence , and while there the prosecutor was sent for , and pointed him out as the third man who had attacked him from about a dozen other nK' * f .

      Holmes was now admitted as approver bjr * i'C Ciown , and from his evidence it appeared tknl a day or two before tbe prosecutor was attacked a man named W . imhouse , a member of the Trades ' Union , asked him if he could get another man to go with one of the turn-out * and attack the prosecut-jr , nnd stated that money was no object ; and that he got the prisoner Ackroyd to assent to go with him ; that Ackroyd , Warnhouse , and himself then went to a public-house kept by a man named Bobby Rus .-ell , where they met a roan named R . Bailey , who paid him and Ackroyd 10 s . each to attack the prosecutor , and that the Satuvdiij before the attack was made they received an additional 5 s . each for the same object , and that they

      were told to meet the prisoner Wilkinson at Chapelcorner at Richmond-hill on the morning of the 17 th of November . They accordingly went there and met Wilkinson waiting . Tiiey then went towards the prosecutor ' s bouse , and he came out in about ten minutes . Witness then attacked the prosecutor , and was shot at and wounded by niin in the thigh , and was afterwards taken over to Doncaster by Wnrnhouse to get liis wound dressed there . To avoid suspicion on his return to Leeds , Bailey gave him two sovereigns , and told him to sa . , if necessary , that he was going to call on the prosecutor on tho morning iii question ( o ; isk for work , when he met tho prosecutor , and his oppressive and haughty heaving to Urn so annoyed him , that he lifted his stick and struck him , and that the prosecutor then fired at him . This witness was severely cros-exarnined , aud appeared not to bear the best of characters , and some

      discrepancies were elicited in his evidence . —Mr . Serjeant IVilkins , fur tbe defence , contended that tiie prosecutor \ vn , s mistaken in the prisoner Wilkinson ' s identity , and the evidence of the approver Holmes , from his character , could not be relied on . —His lordship having summed up , the jury found both prisoners Guilty . His lordship , in passing sentence , said it could not be endured that peace-: ib ! s persons should be prevented from going to their work , and be put in peril of their lives , by a commbination of turn-out workmen . Had the prosecutor died from the severe injury which he had received the prisoners would have been guilty of murder . Such conduct was setting at defiance the law of iSngland , and was setting up a wont oppressive tyranny . Tiie sentence of the court was that they should each be imprisoned one year . — Tne prisoner Wilkinson fainted on hearing the sentence , and w ; ia carried out of the dock .

      L.Vgr.Rsn Prisoxers I.V -Morocco.—The "J...

      L . vGr . rsn Prisoxers i . v -Morocco . —The " Journal def Dfcbiits" burrows , from tho " Spanish Military G . izette , " the following details relative to the shipwrecked English who have fallen into tho hands of Moorish pirat <* s . They are extracted from a letter dated Melilla , November 1 G : — " Tiie En li » h crew arc still in the power of the people of'lliff ; one sailor is dead ; whether , naturally or not , is unknown . There are five remaining ; it was believed that they would speedily be delivered , as a merchant vt-ssel freighted ' by tho English Consul at Malaga had come to convey them to Gibraltar , but the natives have raised their claim , and now demand 200 doures ( £ 40 ) per head . These poor sailors , since the beginning of their captivity , have

      slept on the bare grounu , which is a great hardship in . the present season , » nd after being deprived ot their clothes . Their only food is a coarse . kind of couscousson , very diff rent fare from that to which English sailors are accustomed , and which is of no service in enabling them to support the inclemency ofthe weather . " ^ Tne same journal gives the iVllowiag extract from a letter , dated from the same place , November 19 : — " A most afflicting scene has just been enacted here , which is not , however , without a preddcent in a country where the sanitary laws are applied in all their rigour . The sentinels posted on the ramparts of Melilla , in tbe direction of the Campo Novo , caught sight of an individual running towards the walls , and who , in spite of a

      native costume , appeared to be a Christian . On coming within ear-shot , he halted at the injunction of the men ou duty , and declared that he was from Alicante ; that , having come into Algeri a in one of those emigrations caused by the state of dearth in his own country , he had found occupation at Oran , but , that on penetrating further into the interior of the province in the hope of obtaining higher wages , he had been captured by tho Arabs , to whom ho had remained a prisoner for two years , and that , having found means to make his escape , he had eomo to seek a refuge in Melilla . Judge of the

      anguish of this unfortunate man when he was informed that the quarantine Jaws would not allow them to admit him , and that he must return whence * tie came . At night-the natives prowled about the walls ofthe town , and they would inf-tllibly recapture and kill him ; At this hard sentence the wretched fugitive burst into tears and lamentations , and urged , but all in vain , the cruel tortures that awaited him if he wasrefused admittance Into Melilla . All that was consented to be done for him was to throw him the complete dress of a convict , with the advice that he should pass under this disguise us a prisoner escaped from MelillH . "

      Middlesex Sessions. The Sittings Of The ...

      MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . The sittings of the court foy the December general ' session were resumed on Monday morning at the Guildhall , Westminster , by adjournment from Clerkenwell , before Mr . Sergeant Adams , assistant judge . There were fifty-eight cases of felony , and six of misdemeanour , for trial . Embezzlement . —Benjamin Micklethwaite , 28 , was indicted for feloniously embezzling the sum of £ 1 , which he had received for and on account of Richard Williams and another , his masters . —The prosecutors were surgical instrument makers in the Strand , and tbe prisoner was in their employ as shopman ; and it was his duty to enter into a book , kept for the purpose , all goods sold by him over the counter . It appeared from tbe evidence that on the day mentioned in the indictment the prisoner served " a customer with goods to the amount of £ 1 13 s . ; but , instead of entering that sum in the book , and accounting for it at the end of the day , he entered 13 s . only , and purloined the difference . When accused of this , the prisoner said , " Well , it certainly looks black against me ; but mind , I don't acknowledge it ' . " - The customer proved having paid the prisoner the full sum . —The jury returned a verdict of Guilty . —The prisoner was again indicted for having stolen fifteen dozen of

      ivory knife-handles , one dozen table knives and forks , and a quantity of other articles , value £ 22 , the property of his employers . Tho property set forth in this indictment was found at the prisoner's lodgings after he was apprehended on tho charge . It was identified by one of the partnes , and the prisoner said he would acknowledge having stolen a portion of the property , but denied having done so with regard to the remainder . —The jury found the prisoner Guilty . —The learned judge sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour on each indictment—one terra to commence at the expiration of the other .

      IIobbery bv a Servast . —Elizabeth Parker was indicted for having stolen a gold watch of the value of ten guineas , a silver basket , and other articles , the property of Joseph Marryatt , in his dwellinghouse . There was a second indictment against the irisoner . —It appeared that the prisoner was a servant employed by the housekeeper of Mr . Marryatt , of Richmond-terrace , Whitehall . About the middle of October that gentleman left town for Wales , and on unpacking his luggage missed a gold watch from a bi * g in which ho had placed it ; he communicated his loss to his housekeeper , who made strict inquiries as to what had become of it . The prisoner repeatedly denied all knowledge of the watch , but on its being found that her box had contained a number of articles which had been

      pilfered from another servant , she was accused of having stolen it , and eventually went with the housekeeper to a place where she produced a duplicate of a watch , pledged at a pawnbroker ' s in Strutton-ground , Westminster , which proved to be the one lost by Mr . Marryat . — The prisoner was convicted . —The second indictment charged her with stealing the articles found in her box , —The learned judge sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment for eight months with hard labour . Pocket Picking . —Ellen Crawfield , 22 , and Julia Magner , 30 , were indicted for a robbery from the person . —The prosecutrix , Elizabeth Corgati , was standing looking at some bonnets in a shop window in Leicester-square , when the prisoner Crawfield placed herself ou one side of her and Magner on the other . While the latter attracted her attention

      by making remarks upon the qualities of the flower * with which the bonnets were trimmed , the other picked her pocket of her purse , but they were detected by a woman who had been induced to watch the prisoners from the fact of tbeir having made a somewhat similar attempt upon herself . —The jury found the prisoners Guilty . —The officers proved that both the prisoners had been before convicted . —The learned judge sentenced them to be transported for ten years . TlIK ToUTERS ABOUT THE CRIMINAL COURTS . —The

      learned judge , in the course ofthe morning , stopped Mr . Itibton , as ho was addressing the jury , and , in reference to a topic touched upon by that gentleman said , he wished it to be distinctly understood that there was no necessity whatever for the intervention of the third party between counsel and prisoners . Every barrister , not only in the criminal courts of the metropolis , but on the circuits , who was not otherwise engaged , was bound to take up a case if called upon by the prisoner in the dock , and also to receive the fee from him . There was

      not the slightest necessity for the interference of any attorney , or of any person who went about in the character o £ an attorney ' s clerk , and considering what bad recently occurred in that court , he wished it to be distinctly understood that counsel could be instructed by prisoners themselves ; and if this were generally known , the relatives and friends of unfortunate prisoners would avoid being plundered and robbed by the scoundrels called •* touters , " - who prowled about the courts , and got their money from them under the pretence of affording them legal assistance .

      Tub Touters again . —James Nichollsi aged dO , Johanna Lintott , aged 30 , and Jane Walsh , aged 21 , were indicted , charged with having unlawfully and maliciously wounded Fntnces Barrett Nicholls , the wife of the first-named prisoner . Mr . Payne said that the case had been before the magistrate at the police court in Marylebone-street , they ( one being the master of the male prisoner ) had given a person who had represented himself as an attorney the sum of £ 5 to conduct the man ' s defence and to provide the . assistance of counsel . Now , ic so happened that not only had no counsel been retained , but the attorney , if he was an attorney , himself was not in attendance . Under these circumstances the foreigners were very anxious to know if the trial could not be postponed . Tho application was refused , and the prisoner Lintott pleaded guilty . It appeared that the male prisoner and his wife had been married somewhere

      about thirteen years since , but that having separated seven weeks after the marriage they had rarely conio together again . Not long since they , however , lived as man and wife for five weeks , at the expiration of which time they once more separated . Upon the occasion of the assault now complained of the wife went to the place where her husband was living with the prisoner Lintott , to ask him why he had not sent her the money he had promised her , when Lintott commenced an attack upon her . In tho course of the fracas the wife had her head cut by blows administered by Lintott and Walsh , and her husband struck her violently on the chest . The blows were of such a character as that she had necessarily been the inmate of a hospital for a , fortnight . —Yerdict Guilty . The learned judge sentenced Lintott to imprisonment and hard labour , Nicholls to imprisonment for six weeks with luird labour , and Walsh to imprisonment for one month , also with hard labour .

      An Artfui . Yocsg Thief . —Ann Wilson , 1-1 , was indicted for stealing a petticoat and other articles of clothing , the property of George Thompson , from the pel-sou of George Thompson the younger . —This pri-oner , though but fourteen years of age , hud , it appeared , canted on a system of daeoying children younger than herself , whom she met in the streets , into out of the way places , and there stripping them of their clothes . She had been bef ; ite convicted , and a person who was in court identified the clothes she had on as having been stolen from a girl about her own age . The prosecutrix of the second indictment against the prisoner was a poor widow named Beardmore , living at 10 , Earl-street , Westminster , and it seemed on the day named in tho indictment her daughter , a child six years of age , was decoyed by the ( . risoner from the door of a school she attended iato St . John ' s Church , who sat her on some steps , and then deliberately took

      ott the greater part of her clothing , and went oft ' , telling the child that she was only going to see it she could purchase sonic more like it . The prisoner disappeared down a court , and the child ran after her , but she had got away effectually , and tho poor child , crying with cold , was taken pity on by a blacksmith , who told her to warm herself by " his forge . The mother gave information to several secondhand clothes' shops in the neighbourhood , and within a very short time the prisoner was in the hands ofthe police , having been given into custody by a clothes dealer to whom she had offered tho stolen articles . —The prisoner was Convicted . The other case was of the same kind . The boy was seven years of age , and the prisoner enticed him from Pye-i-treet , Westminster , lo Whitehall-yard , where she helped herself to hU clothing , and then made off . —The learned Judge said , the Court could not suffer her to remain longer in ibis country , and sentenced her to seven yours' transportation .

      Stkam-boat Building in the Thames . —The British public are frequently amazed by accounts of the immense new steam-boats of America , and the construction of others of still greater tonnage and power . Wu think , however , that a visit to the Thames building-yard of Mare and Co ., Orchard Wharf , Blaoltwiiil , would convince the English publie that neither for tonnage nor horse power do the American yards surpass us in building ships and machinery . As a specimen of British manufacture Messrs . Marc have built two gigantic ships . One of these vessels is a yacht for the Pacha of Eeypt to be named tho Paid Gihaad , a ship 282 feet in length , 40 fret in breadth , 29 feet in depth , of 2 , 200 tons measiirement . and to have engines by Maudslay Son , and Field .

      BOW-STREET . — Chahgr op Stabbing . — G . Henry Davidson , a printer , was brought before Mr . Hall , charged with committing a violent assault upon James Q , uilly , by stabbing him with a stiletto , from the offsets of which his life is in danger . —Richard Brand said : 1 am a law stationer , residing at Islington , and was in company with a few friends about two o'clock on Sunday morning , at Ship yard , Temple-bar-, when I heard Mr . Qui 11 y say that he had been stabbtd by the prisoner , previous to which he said that Quilly had scratched his nose , and that he wanted to get at the with the bushy w liskers . I to ! d him be had no just , cause to quarrel with him , advising him to desist . The circumstance took place in a narrow part of the court , where a blow wrs struck , and havine got into a wider part the quarrel

      continued , and in an instant , hearing Quilly call out , " I ' m stabbed ! " I ran to his assistance , and with another of the company succeeded in parting them . There were five persons in our party , one ot whom gave the prisoner a severe thrashing ; but 1 did not hear him call out for help . There was no other person except Quilly struck him ' . Perhaps Quilly was not perfectly sober , nor was the prisoner very drunk . Our parly had been drinking about an hour , and I was perfectly sober . 1 heard no person call out for help or the police , aod blood flowed copiously from the prisoner ' s face in ensequerce cf the blows he had received . —William Clifford , said : I was in conversation with Quilly , after which blows were exchanged in the court . I had not been in the house , but had met them by chance , and when Quilly struck the prisoner in the face , he did not

      return the blow , and presently Quilly said , " I am stabbed t tbe vagabond has got a . knife . " Tbey were then separated , and a policeman being called ho turned his lighten to the pavement , where he picked up the weapon produced . —The instrument exhibited to the Court was a Brazilian stiletto , the blade about five inches in length and very sharp , having a curve as tbey are usually manufactured , and set in a fluted ivory handle , the sheath being made of red morocco leather , and mounted in silver . —Constable Wright , 96 P , proved that seeing a crowd he hastened to Shipyard , and saw the prisoner bleeding very much fioai the mouth , and the other , whose hand was cut , said — " This man ( pointing to the prisoner ) has stabbed me with a knife , and he has thrown it away ; " upon

      which he turned his light to Hie pavement , and saw the weapon picked up by the last witness . On the way to the station , seeing something drop from the prisoner , he picked it up , and found it to be the stopper or ferule of the sheath , heth of which being shown to him , he said he knew nothing about them . —Mr . Edward Davis , house-surgeon of King ' s College ^ Hospital , said that Quilly had received three distinct wounds , such as would be inflicted with the sharp-pointed weapon he had examined ; one between tbe sixth and seventh ribs , another between the third and _ fouth ribs , and another below the collarbone , all on the left side , and of such a dangerous character that he could not give a decisive opinion respecting the condition of the patient for some days . —Remanded .

      SOUTH wARK . —Assault and Robbbry . —Mary Kelly , a woman of the town , was placed at the bar before Mr . A'Beckett , charged ( with two men not in custody ) for assaulting and robbing Mr . Thomas Tuffnell of a purse and money . —The complainant , who is advanced in life , stated that on the evening of the 24 th ult ., being in Counter-street , at the rear o f the Town Hall , and leading to the Borough Market , he was accosted by a woman , who said , " I know you , sir ; don ' t pass without speaking . " In reply to this solicitation he stepped up to the woman , and looking in her face remarked that she was mistaken , as he was not acquainted with her ; and had scarcely uttered the words when two men darted out from underneath a gateway , and seizing him one at each side , pinioned his arms , and held him while the female thrust one of her hands

      into his right hand trowsers pocket . She pulled out a purse containing 10 s . or 12 s ., and then ran down one of the turnings in the neighbourhood , and he struggled to disengage himself from the two men , who held him until the robbery was effected , when one of them exclaimed to his companion , •« Cut Bill ; cut away ; " and the man who was on his right side ran towards the Borough Market . Complainant's right arm being now at liberty , and having a thick walking-stick in his right hand , he made a blow with it at the head of his assailant , who stooped down and saved himself , and then ran away and escaped . He added that he had not seen the woman until the previous , night , when as ho

      was walking along near the Town Hall he observed her with an old gentleman , she apparently endeavouring to induce him to accompany her towards that part of Counter-street where he ( complainant ) had been robbed , but the old gentleman seemed averse to proceed with her , and went away . And on his leaving her he ( complainant ) immediately went up to her , accused her of having robbed him of his purse , and gave her into custody . He was convinced the prisoner was the woman , as he particularly noticed her features on the night of the robbery as she stood in front of him while the two men , her associates , held him until she effected her object . —Remanded .

The prisoner told him he had been doing some business for Mr . Claydon , the gentleman whosename appeared to the rillas the acceptor , and he had received it ( the bill ) in payment for his services .

      From information which subsequently reached bim , he ( wit uess ) had been induced to make some inquiries , and these led to the discovery tbat the acceptance was a forgery , and he in consequence gave in'onnatiun to the police , and the prisoner was apprehended . Ac the station-house the prisoner , in bis presence , admitted that the name William Claydon to the bill , as acceptor , was in his ( prisoner's ) own handwriting . —Mr .
