Sparker , Rose Tavern , High-street , < 3 rave-end . Witness accordingly wrote to that address rer-pecting the pri-oner , nod received by return of post so flittering an eologiutn of him that hia suspicions were somewhat shaken as to its genuineness ; but , being much in need of a servant , he engaged him , and he continued steadily to perform his duties until last Tuesday , when he suddenly absconded , leaving his wardrobe , a very scanty

      one , behind . It was not long afterwards before witness missed bis watch an < l chain , and on a further investigation he discovered that he had been plundered of a club cashbox . Witness bad since been to Gravesend , and ascertained that the landlord of the Rose took in a letter , directed as mentioned , and delivered it to the prisoner , who claimed it as " Thomas Sparker . "—Sergeant Harvey , 14 G , who had apprehended the prisoner , said he had not traced the prosecutor ' s property , but believed he should do bo . He had , however , taken from his person an expensive watch and a fold chain , and bad reason to believe that tho . < e articles ad b-en stolen in Canterbury , where the prisoner bad teen in a situation . The accused is a thief well known in Sent , and his father is at present in Slaidstone Gaol under sentence of transportation for receiving the plunder of his sod . —Mr .

Witness called out , " Hallo , tfcat won't do ! " to which the " lady" replied , " It is all right Bobby , " on which she smacked the animal with the whip , and it went on . Witness stopped the horae , and

      asked the male prisoner for hi * badge . He said he had left it at home ; their companions made their escape . The female prisoner was put in « ide the cab , and while be ( Fisher ) was leading the horse , & < i ., to the station-house , she made her escape with the other prisoner , and he took the horae and cab to the green-yard . In the course of the morning ne _ fouud both prisoners in a cabriolet together in the neighbourhood of Ifesnigge-wells road . He took them to the station-house , where the woman said she waa a respectable married woma n , and the landlord of the Old Bell Inn , Holborn , was her brother . —Mr Corrie asked her what she had to say for herself . She said aha was a married

      prisoner made a similar defence . —Mr . Corrie , after a patient investi gation , said it was very strange conduct . Under all circumstances he should discharge the " Udy . " He reprimanded the male prsoner , and fined him 6 j . Subsequently , however , he remitted the fine , intimating that he would order his license to be endorsed , and cautioning him to beware « f his future conduct . —Mrs . Smallhone then left the court with her brother , an object of attraction and curiosity , and the male prisoner repaired with a host of his fraternity to a neighbouring public-house , elighterf at the " spree . " "ALL THROUGH A DUCK . " Mary Vemon . a resupctabiy-dressed young woman , was kaqp-d by Mra . A-n White , a matronly looking person , Sesiding in Folwood ' s-rentg , Holbnrn , with having assaulted he" " . —The prosecutrix deposed that on Monday last the pricall

      soner ed at her bouse , and , calling her vile names , knock- d at her door and cha'lensed her out to fight . She shunned her , and she left . In the coune of the day as she was passing along the prisoner threw some china at her Bead , when she aave her into custody . —Mr . Corrie : Well , Mre . Vemon , pray what are you ? Mrs .

I am the daughter of tbe Rev S !' - V ^ rnoo and am incapable of anything unladylike . r-Mr . Corrie : What have you to say to the charge ? Mrs . Vernon : Shy to it . Sir ! why . tha' it was all through a duck . ^ -Mr . Corrie ( smiling ) : A duck—how was that ? Mrs . Vernon : Why . your worship . I left home for ihe purpose of BUTing a duck for my husbiud ' s luncheon , and as I was returning I went into a publ'c-house to have a little refreshment , whm a man , apparently a cooler , said he would like to hare the duck . I sa d I was willing to let him have a lee » f the bird . I wa > hi d it and save it to him , and he took it home to the prosecutrix . who is his siBter , and she defamed me by spreading a report that I gave her brother

      theduck for an impropsruse . ( Here she became greatly ex < "i'ed , ind thumpe i tbe bar violently with her clenched 0 st 8 e 7 eral times , vociferating . " Your worship , is it possible tbit a lady like mesu «» ld . give a duck to a eobler for an improper purpose . If I were so disposed . I would give a duck to a gentleman , who won d pay me , and not a paltry snob . " ) —Mr , Corrie : Is ydnr husband here , Mrs . Vernon ? Mrs . Yernon : He is not . he was compelled to attend at his office in the oity . The Rev . Mr . Veraon can speak as to my character . I am a lady . —Mrs . BeDjamin , of Fullwood ' s-rents , aid she was Mrs . Vernon ' s landlady . She was a respectable woman , and ber husband a highly respectable man , employed in the city . —Mr . Corrie : She seems very much excited . Is ¦ he correct in her mind ? Mrs . Benjamin : I don ' t think she is exactly , your worship . —Mr . Corrie thought that , under all the circumstances , he would discharge Mrs . Vercon , on her making a promise not to appear before him again under similar circumstances . —Mrs . Vernon ( making a low respectful curtsey ) : Yoar worship , I thank you . I willingly make you the promise . She has defamed me . Good day .

He had since been in St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital , and was discharged that morning . The prisoner presented a most wretched appearance , being only able to breathe through a tube and an aperture in Mb throa ' . ; he is entirely unable to speak , and there is every probability that he will remain in the same condition for life . His father stated that he knew of no cause for his committing such an act , as he bad always been a steady hard-working man . —The prisoner was ' discharged on his father * * undertaking to take cire of him .

      EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL AT GUILDFORD . GRIFFITHS V . DE l ' e 8 PINA 8 S 3 AND ANOTHER , This case , which was one of an extraordinary nature , was commenced on Thursday . Mr . Chambers , in opening the case to the jury , eaid that the plaintiff was a ynant ; pirl between fifteen and sixteen years old . She was a Roman Catholic , and , ber father and mother being dead , the care of h < r devolved upon her aunt , and it would appear that snme time in the year 1849 she was placed by his Excellency Cardinal W < seman in a Roman Cstholi- establishment or convent at Norwood , of which ¦ he defendants were the lady superiors , Madame do l'Espinanse being the principal , and the other lady , Madame Theodosie , being her assistant . He would now st < te the circumstances under which the complaint was made against the defendants , that by omitting to provide proper nourishing

      food , and other misconduct towards tbe plaintiff , they bad caused the serious injury to her for whi-h she sought compensation at the hapds of the jury . First , with regard to the food . It appeared that the orphanage class as it was called , had tnree nv-als per day—the breakfast consisted of a sort of soup made of peas and rice ; the usual day meal or dinner consisted of the same sort of material , and 8 ompthine of the same kind was given them for supper , but sometimes , instead of the soup , they had bread and cabbage . Thpy were all rpquired to rise at four o ' clock in the morning , and they remained up until nine at night , : md during the day , in tbe intervals of instruction , the girls belonging to the orphanage class were employed in the household work of the establishment . Every Monday the whole of the washing of the inmates was performed by the chil . ir » u , and on Saturdays they cleaned the house ompletely

      through . It appeared that there were various penances or punishments resorted to in tho establishment , some of which were of great severity and cruelty ; and it was one of the complaints on the part of the plaintiff on tbe present occasion that she had been subjected to these punishments very improperly , and that the result was that she had sustained the injury for which she sought compensation . A'nong these penances or punishments was one which waa called the " trial clasB . " and which consisted of the person subjected to it being placed in a room close to a whitewashed wall , and compelled to sit with her face to the wall the whole of the dav without being pprmitted to ppeak to any person or to te except to w * her metis . This punishment had been inflicted uion ttn-un'i rtotiate plaintiff during the period of eight or nine days ; and during that long time , except when she took h > r meals , she was compelled to sit

      with her face close to the wall , ' and was not allowed to speak to any one while she was undergoing this severe punishment . When the child first went to tbe convent she was quite well , but the treatment she received soon aftveted her healt h , and eventually she was reduced to a very bad state indeed , so much so that her life was almost despaired of and in the result she entirely lost the sight of one of her eyes . He would now mention an incident which would afford some clue to tbe reasons which led to the unfortunate child being treated in this manner . While che as undergoing the punishment of the trial class , it appeared that Cardinal Wiseman was expected to visit tbe establishment , and the plaintiff was refnoved from her placo of confinement , and was told to be prepared to received him . It seemed that there was an intention to present the Cardinal with a robe , and it was the desire of the lady superior that

      he should be led to believe that the robe had b-en made for him by tbe girls in the orphan class , and the plaintiff and the others in that chss were told to say so when they p > e sented the robe . Dr . Wiseman did come , and the robe was pres nted , but it appi-arrd that the plain'iff did not make the statement she was requested to do with regard to the making of the robe , and this gave great offence to the assistant lady-superior , and the m » ment Dr . Wiseman left she was sent b * ck to the tria class . After this another deecrip'ion ot punishment was Inflicted upon the unfortunate child by seudina her to the kitchen to work . This kitchen , as he was instructed , was a very damp cold place , and the consequence was that the plaintiff caught a severe cold , and was in reality very ill . She complained to Madame Theodosie , but the answer she received was that it was all affe tatinn . The eye , the sight of which she afterwards lost

      entirely , was at this time very much inflamed , so much 60 as to be visible to every one , and the defendant , on her attention being drawn to it , told the plaintiff that if she suffered she must endure it , and that > he was born to suffer . She wished to see the doctor , but was not allowed to do so , and while in this state she went to confession , and the priest told her she had done wrong in not obeying the orders of the lady superior with regard to the robe , and that it would be sinful of her to make any complaint , or write to Cardinal Wiseman upon the subject . Afier this , as he was instructed , the priest put some questions to her upon a subject which he would not further allude to , but the effect was that the plaintiff determined not to go again to confession . Th * lady-superior insisted that she should do so , and on her persisting in her refusal on the ground that improper

      questions had heen put to her , she was told that tbe questions were not improper , and that they were only those which were contaioed in her b « ok ef religious instruction , and which were sanctioned by it . She still refused , and the consequence was that she was again punished and kent for sixteen days in the trial class . At length the plaintiff obtained pprraisston to see Mr . Chapman , the medical gentleman attached to the establishment , and he at once observed her emaciated and debilitated condition , and ordered her nourishing food ^ and medicine . No alteration , however was made in her diet , and because she complained to the doctor she was again punished . Tho punishment inflicted » this time was wha' . was called " prostration , " and it con ei « ted in the plaintiff being compelled to lie with her face upon the ground for the period of an hour . The learned counsel then proceeded to state that at length the aunt of

      the plaintiff int 9 rfored , and with a great deal « f difficulty she obtained permission to take her niece to Dr . Alexander , the celebrated occulist , who at once perceived that the sight of one of her eyes was completely gone , and ho believed the jury would not entertain any doubt that the result had been occasioned by the improper and cruel treatment the child had received . These were the facts upon which ho should ask for their verdict ; but he thought it right to inform the jury , in aadition , that in consequence of the pleas tho defendants had put upon the record it was considered absolutely necesBary that Cardinal Wiseman should be called to prove whom the parties were to whom he had intrusted the child , and under what circumstances and conditions she was placed with them . Notwithstanding , howeverthat

      , every endeavour had been made to subpoena him to attend , Cardinal Wiseman < could not be found , and there was no course then left but to apply to the defendants themselves , and the clerk to the plaintiff ' s solicitor had obtained from them a prospectus of the establishment , and also an admisaion that they were the responsible parties . The learned counsel having stated some othur facts which were afterwards proved as evidence , he concluded an address by requesting the jury n-t to allow any religious feelings to enter into the inquiry , but to treat the case as they would that of any other boarding-school , where a child was alleged to have been treated improperly , and decide the case solely upon the evidence that would bo laid before them on that point .

      The plaintiff detailed the circumstance of the case at great length , and some medical gentlemen were of opinion that at the time they saw her , she appeared to be suffering from want of food . a Tho witnesses for the def ence denied that the plaintiff had been exposed to any severe punishment , and stated that she had been taken into the convent in a bad state of hsaltn . dJJ ^ jSrX ' ' thQ WhOlC ° ThUr 8 d * Rnd F " -

      THE ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY . The circumstances attending the accident maybe thus briefly told : _ The 9 . 30 a . m . up express from Liverpool left that place at its usual hour on Tbursday morning . The train consisted of about twelve carriages and two break vans , and there wa 8 an unusual full complement of passengers . The Crewe Junction was reached at 10 . 45 a . m ., and at this station an additional engine was attached to assist the train up the Madeley Bank , a rather steep incline , about bix miles south of Crewe aud three miles north of Wmtmere . It is usual when an extra locomotive

      is attached to ordinary trains for the purpose of assisting them up this bank for the driver to detach his engine as Boon as the line becomes level , run on to Whitmore , and there cross on to the down line . When assistance is given to an express train the extra engine generall y runs through to Stafford , but on Thursday it appears the driver had instructions to cross the line at Whitmore . As soon as the driver of the extra engine had detached himself he put on extra steam , and in a very few minutes shot some distance ahead of the train . As the latter approached

      Untitled Article

      the Whitmore station the driver and guards observed that a red flag—the signal of danger—was hoisted from the pilot engine , which still remained on the up rails . The steam was iustautly shut off , and the express tvas brought almost to a stand still before reaching Whitmore . In the meantime the driver of the pilot engine dropped the red flag , and sounding the " all right" signal , ran on towards Stafford , still upon the up line of rails . As soon as tbe pilot had obtained a start , the driver of the express train laid on his steam , and proceeded at the usual speed ; lie had run only three miles beyond Whitmore , when on coming round a sharp curve on the line about a mile north of Standnn-bridae station , the pilot engine was observed in the act of crossing on to the down line at Stundon cnal yard . When first seen

      the two engines were sc-ircely 200 yards apart , and as the pilot was partly on the up rai ' ls ( it . is alleged to ha ? e been stationary at ihe time ) , the avoidance or a collision was of course quite impossible . The driver of the express soundpd his whistle and shot off rhe steam , but before he could do more than this the poor fellow waa a corpse . The collision turned the engine of the ' -xpress train completely round , and both that and the pilot engine were almost totall y destroyed . The guard s van followine ihe engine wa = > also turned completely round and thr » wn into a hedge , Parker , a very ol < i servant of the company , escaping hy a miracle with a few severe bruises . The stoker was dreadfully injured—his arm , Ipr , and thigh were broken , and his shoulder dislocated Eight , of the carriages in the train were thrown off the rails , and the passengers were many of them

      severely shaken and hurt ; but it is a most remarkable and satisfactory fact that , with a few exceptions , the persons inthe tr * in do not appear to have suffered so severely as might have been anticipated . One gentleman had his ancle dislocated , another sustained a severe laceration of the facp , two or three others wero cut and bruised about the head , and two ladies sustained a slight concussion of the brain . It has been stated that the driver of the express was killed on the spot . His body was found under one of the carriages , shortly after the accident . What be * camo of the driver and stoker of the pilot engine is not accurately known ; but neither of them were hurt . The 7 . 30 a . m . third class train from Liverpool , was passed by the express . at tho Madeley station , and ns it follows very closely fears were entertained of its running into tho express after the accident occurred . Preston , the Manchester

      guard , who was in the break at the rear of the train , and who suffered only a severe shock from the collision , immediately ran back some distance and stopped the progr-ss of this train , which he took back to Whitmore , and brought from thence assistance in tbe shape of carriages and labourer- ' ' . A telegraphic message was also sent from Whitmore to Stafford requesting assistance from that station , which arrived witbin a very short period . The line was so much disturbed by the collision that several hours elapsed before it could be got clear . Medical assistance was on the spot very soon after the accident , and aid was rendered in all cases where necessary . Some of the passengers pre « ferred returning to Liverpool , but the greater portion came on to London . It was nearly five o ' olock when the train left Staffur l , and it did not arrive at Euston-square until after nine o ' clock .

      DREADFUL OMNIBUS ACCIDENT . On Sunday morning last an accident of a fearful character occurred on the road between ODley and Ilkley , in the West Riding of Yorkshire , by which the lives of ten or twelve persons were endangered , the limbs of soveral were actually fractured , and the bodies of nearly fifty persons bruised and lacerated in tbe most shocking manner . This misadventure arose out of the upsetting of an overloaded omnibus in consequence of the rash and reckless conduct of the driver . On Sunday morning the number of excursionists arriving at the Anhington station of the Leeds Northern Railway , by the train from Leeds , whose destination was Ilkley , was unusually large , and it became necessary to bring all the vehicles of the station into requisition to carry them

      forward . When this was done the number of people still requiring seats was large ; and it was only by packing the different omnibuses with about twice as many passengers as they are " constructed to carry" that all were got off . The passengers cheerfully submitted to this inconvenience , and they pursued their journey in safety for somo miles . Journeying along the road between Burley and Ilkley , near the road leading to Mount Stead , the driver of one of the omnibuses , Samuel Morrell , stopped , and dismounted to adjust somo part of the harness which had become disarranged or broken . It was only the work of a few minutes . While he was adjusting the harness , another omnibus , which had hitherto been behind , and which was driven by James Walker passed hefore him . Morrell shortly resumed his place on the box , and drove forward . He soon came up to his competitor , and endeavoured to pass him . Bat before he had entirely got deal of tbe

      first hurse of Walker ' s omnibus , the near hind wheel of his own came off , and the vehicle was ovenurnsd ; the whole tf the passt-ngnr * , forty-seven in number , i > eing precipitated with great violence among tho horses of Walker ' s omnibus . The shrieKs and cries which arose at the moment were dreadful , and the scene of confusion which followed was heai trending and sickening beyond description . Some of the unfortunate passengers were trampled upon by thr fr i ghtened and unmanageable horses , s-me were lying bleeding and crushed beneath the fallen vehicle , and some were being lacerated beneath the wheels of the other omnibus . For some time the scene resembled a battle field in minature in the number of wounded and apparently dying pursons that strewed the ground . The roai was emirt-ly blocked up . Broken coaches , mangled and bleeding passengers , terror-stricken houses , andt . he screams and cries of the wounded and the distressed , constituted a scene which filled all who beheld it wi : h horror .

      Those who escaped with the perfect use of their limbs , after the momentary consternation had passed , immediately set to work to extricate those who were still in tho greatest peril , and to give succour to those who were disabled . One person rode off to Rurloy and Otley in search of medical aid ; and in the meantime those most seriously injured wero removed to an adjoining meadow . In half an hour after , Mr . W . Spence , of Otley , surgeon , arrived , and attended to the woun > ied ; and at a suhsequent hour Mr . John Spence , of Otley , Mr . Steel , of Burley , and Mr . Duckworth , of Addington , came to his assistance . Dr . M'Leod was also ac ing among the sufferers ; and Mr . Nunneley , surgeon , arrived from Leeds in the evening to view the various patients .

      THE WRECKERS OF THE NORE . The aubjuined protest has been entered by tho master of the schooner Renown ( which vessel was pillaged by wreckers on tho Noro Sand ) , with a Tiew to ulterior proceedings in the Admiralty Court : — "That at eleven p . m .,. while steering a course W . N . W . JN ., the ship struck on the Nore S » nd , and immediately filled . It hcing then the lust quarter ebb , and , after repeatedly striking heavily , tho water flowed in from the after part of the vessel . The pumps were set on , and continued pumping . Finding the leak increasing on the pumps , and also finding no hopes of keeping her , they made preparations for getting tho boat out . That at twelve o clock at midnight they got the boat off . and hung by the ship until two a . m ., when , inconsequence of the boat being loaded with the clothes and provisions , and beginning to made water , and the sea running heavythey ( the crew )

      , were compelled to leave the ship and take to their boat , and pulled into Sheerness to procure assi 3 tanoe . That at about lour a . m . they reached Slieerness , and applied to Mr . fciigcombe , a ship-agent there , and received from him the assistance of a l < oat and two hands , in which three of the crew namely , tho mate an-i two seamen , returned to the ship ; and this appearer , Archibald Dewar-the matofurthor states that he , and Samuel Hatch , and William SO . i-azen , seamen , together with the two boatmen provided by Mr . Edgcombe , returned to the schooner , and reached her between seven and eight a . m . ; that on boarding the schooner they found a coast-guard boat , with four men and an officer . The officer asked appearer by what authority thej came on board the vessel ? The mate replied , he had returned from

      Sheemess , where he had been for assistance ; and tha master , who remained there on other duties , bad delivered to nun the certificate of registry of the achooner , which document he produced to the chief officer of the coast-guard ; on the production of whioh ho said he was satisfied , and left the vessel in charge of the appearer . Archibald Duwar ; that appearer then gave directions to the crew and men employed to unreeve the running gear and unbend the sails , in order to save the storeB in as perfect a state as tho case would admit of , knowing that a barge had been engaged by Mr . Edgecombe , and which was then coming down to receive them . She then succeeded in saving six sails .

      COUNT D'ORSAY . That Count D'Orsay was born at Paris precisely at the opening of the present century , would appear from the fact of Lord Byron ' s expressing bis ast nishment at the precocity exhibited in a certain MS . diary , from the Count ' s pen , perused by his lordship at Genoa ( April 5 , 1823 ) : — " The most singular thing is how he should have penetrated , not the faot , but the mystery of the English tnnui at twenty-two . I was about tho same age when I made the same disoovery , in almost precisely the same circles . " In hia twentieth year he had already relinquished tho gaitiea of London and entered the French service ; for it was while quartered at Va ' ence , on the Rhone , November 15 th , 1822 , that an occurrence took place which changed his

      whole destiny . The reader of Lady Ble sington ' s "Idler in Italy , " will look in vain for any notice nf her first casual rencontre with Lieutenant D ' Orsay at Valence , though she does remark that singular coincidence , " Napoleon , when lieutenant , was quartered injtliis town . " The regimental mess happened to be established in the hotel where Lord Blessing ton alighted on his way to Italy , down the Rhone , and a chance acquaintanceship having ripened into intimacy , at his lordship-s invitation the count joined them in their trip southwards . The regiment was just the- under orders to march with the Due d'Angouleme across the Pyrenees , and the young French officer had to expect the samasms of the uninitiated as to his motives for quitting the service at that particular juncture .

      The arrival of this strangely constituted travelling party at Genoa is thus chronicled » y Byron : — " Milord Blessington and epouse , travelling with a very handsome companion in the shape of a French Count , who has all the air of a Cupiilon dechainc , and one of the few ideal specimens I have seen of a Frenchman before the Revolution . " Concerning thnEarl of Blessington , his individuality may be well i onjeotured , but we are not left to our own surmises as to ti > e sort of man he must h > ve been . Byron adds : — " Mount joy ( for the Gardinors are the lineal race of tho famous Insn riceroy of that ilk ) seems very goodnatured , but in much tamed since I recollect , him in all the glory of gems at d snuffboxes , and uniforms and thearxals , sitting to Strolling , the painter , to bo depicted as one of the heroes of Affincourt . "

      It was finally arranged that D'Orsay was to be a fixture in the family , by becoming the husband of the Hon . Harriet Gardiner , his lordship ' s daughter by his first wife . This young and beau'iful person was summoned accordingl y from school , and forthwiill married to the count at Genoa , in obedience to her father ' s mandate . The tale of Iphigenia is sometimes combined in modern life with other not Ihhs painful narratives of cla-sio destiny . Lord Blessington died at Paris in 1827 , and the title been me extinct . tiU countess beoime a . star in the . li erary firmament of England , and Count D'Orsay resumed in London the career of sportsman , exquisite , artist , and general arbiter degantiarwn , a-i all the world knows .

      He spent his lost- years in erecting , on a green eminence in the village of Chamhourey , beyond St . Germain-en-la » e , where the rustic churchyard joins " the estate of the Gramraont family , a marble pyramid . In the sepulchral chambsr there is a stone sarcophagus on either side , each surmounted by a white marble tablet ; that to the left snclosi ' s the remains of Lady Blessington ; that to the right was " untenanted" at the time when Isabella Romer deseribed the mausoleum in " Bttntley ' s Miscellany , " May 1 , 1850 . Since then the fair hand that wrote the account , of that tomb is itself cold in the grave , and the tenant is now forthcoming for his self-appointed homo . " Implora pace . "— Globe .
