POLICE COURT.—This Day.

Before Dr Home, and William Hurst Esq., Justices of the Peace.)

NIGHT AND MORNING.

Four sons of Bacchus were exhibited successively this morning to the Bench in the Police Court, with clingy faces and black eyes. The unfortunate fellows, whose names were James Birch, William Hart, Edward Moylen and James Nichol, expressed regret, but had no recollection of the circumstances. They were fined 5s each with costs, or twenty four hours imprisonment. SRANK SMITH'S EVENING OUT. Frank Smith was charged with being drunk and tearing the uniform coat of Constable Williams, value £2 10s, while in the execution of his duty. Prisoner said he was drunk at the time ; he was out for the evening, and had no recollection of tearing the constable's coat. Constable Williams presented the tattered coat to the Bench. Prisoner said he would endeavour to pay the damage if he could get his liberty. The Bench having considered the case fined prisoner 5s for being drunk, and the' damage of the coat, or a month's imprison ment with bard labour. CHILDREN OV NIGHT. Sam Antoaia was charged with attempting to murder Sarah Ann Powell by striking her on the head with a bill-hook. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. The woman did it herself. This case had been remanded from day to day in order that the woman might be present. Mr Broham said the woman was now in Court, but she could not be induced to press the charge against prisoner, and if she was put into the box she would only commit perjury. The parties live together in a small hut in the locality of Victoria-street, and are continually in the habit of quarrelling and disturbing the neighbours at all hours of the night. The woman was called forward, but she was evidently under the influence of drink, and muttered that she fell down in a kind of a fit, and struck her head against a brick, which brought a large quantity of blood out of her mouth. She might have told Sergt. - Major Pardy that " Tham" did it, but she did not kDow what she said. " Tham" was a jolly dood fellow, and did not do it. The Bench gave the man a severe rebuke ; there was no doubt but that he inflicted the wound on the woman*s head; but as she would not give evidence against him he must be discharged. Antonla rushed out of Court' at onco> and took to his heels, and the woman followed with Antonia's baby. - MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. Mary Doherty was charged with striking her daughter, Catherine Doherty, and knock ing her down last night. Prisoner said she was guilty j she struck her daughter, but she first assaulted her. Mr. Broham said the parties lived in Chancery-street, and last evening there was a great noise and screams of murder were heard coming from their residence. A con stable went at once to ascertain the cause, and found the daughter sprawling on the floor, and the mother hammering her with her fists. (Here the mother burst out into a terrible fit of sobbing, and the daughter, upon the point of giviag evidence, fell down from the witness-box and moaned horribly.) Constable Mulville immediately raised the young woman from the floor, gently led her out of Court, andapplied some spring-water to her face, for which she expressed her grati tude, but was too weak to return into Court. The mother then sank fainting in the dock, and was also led out of Ceurt. The Bench remanded the case until to morrow, in order that the women might be gufficiently restored to go through the ordeal of the Court. ALLEGED LARCENY. Ann, William, and Francis Campbell, were charged with stealing a purse, containing £20 and two £5 orders, the property of William Crowe, on the 17th August. The case was. remanded until to-morrow. .sailors' quarrels. John Gibbß and John Reshon were charged with assaulting Jean Picharde on the 29th inst. Prisoners plead 3d net guilty. The parties were sailors on board the Waikato, and the supposed injured man played tricks upon an old man, when defendants defended the old man from the young man's iaselenee, and struck him. It wag shown however by prosecutor that he had kicked his opponents. The case was therefore dismissed. This was all the business.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. BEPOBTS.

Hughes and Fenton to plant the trees according to the wish of the jßoard. A report was read from John Chambers, intimating tht.t he Had planted over 1200 young trees of different kinds in parts of the domain, and fenced off 90 feet by 72 feet in th« paddock fronting Graf ton-road ; he had also made a small pond in the centre.

WELLINGTON,

This day. Arrived : St. Leonards, ship, from London, with twenty cabin passengers. It is understood that Major Atkinson has accepted a seat in the Cabinet.

DEPARTURE OF THE MILTIADES.

SINGULAR PROCEEDINGS.

The departure of tho ship Miltiades last - night was somewhat unexpected, but now that the attendant circumstances have come to light little surprise can be manifested at' the desire of the capt. to get away as quietly and as soon as possible. It ia well known . that since tho award of £1,625 was made to Captain Casey for salvage on the ship there have been disputes between that gentle man aJld the captain and crew of the p.s. Lady Bow en as to the share of tho money which the latter were entitled to. Captain Casey evinced so grasping a disposi tion (at first offering the caj)tain £20, and gradually, with ungraceful concessions, increasing his offers to those who did all the work till they reached £400,) that it was feared that an appeal to litigation would have been the result. Yesterday au attempt to settle the matter by arbitration was made by Casey, but the captain and crew absolutely refused to take less than £625. No arrange ment being come to, and the ship being on the point of sailing, Mr Rees, the solicitor for Captain Kaspar and the crow, applied for a warrant from the Admiralty Court to detain the ship until the matter was settled. The order Was not obtained till late yesterday afternoon, after the Miltiades had dropped half-w ay to the North Head. Before proceed ings could be taken to arrest the ship she had rounded the Heads and anchored in the Channel. Here it was that Deputy-Marshal S. Y. Collins found the vessel when, with a boat's crew, he went outtoserve the warrants soon after nightfall. We understand that, when Mr Collins hailed the ship and told his business he was answered vary gruffly and told to come on board at his peril. Without effecting his mission Mr ColJins came back to the North Shore and detailed his recep tion to Mr Rees, on which that gentleman sent a letter to Captain Burgess, the pilot on board, warning him of his responsibility in case of the vessel proceeding to sea contrary to the command of the Vice-Admiralty Court contained in the warrant. This letter, we are informed, did not reach Captain Burgess, being put on board the boat which went off to the City of Auckland. We understand that later on Mr Rees went down with some of the crew of the Lady Bowen,; but they were not permitted to go on board. One of the boat men swarmed up the anchor chain, and pre sented bimself on the forecastle deck. The crew cannot, however, be said to have treated him hospitably, for they put a noose under his armpits and lowered him over the side. From this unpleasant situation he was res cued by his companions in the boat. Mr Rees threatened the captain with all the pains and penalties of the law if he was not permitted to board the vessel. These threats, however, had no effect in altering the altitude of resistance assumed by all on board. Mean while, at a late hour of the evening, Captains Casey and Kaspar (on behalf of himself and crew) came to an understanding by which £500 of the award was to be distributed among the captain and crew of the steamer. We believe we are right in saying that this agreement has j»st prevented a very serious complication. Mr Whitaker, instructed by the agents of the ship was only.waiting for legal pioceedings to be begun by the crew of the steamer to move for an order from the Supreme Court, to set aside the award al together, and re-adjust the claim. If this had been done, we are of opinion that Capt. Casey would have had to content himself with a much smaller share of plunder than he now becomes entitled to. We believe that this affair, so discreditable to the port, will be now settled -without further squab bling. The Militiades got under weigh at nine o'clock this morning and went away with a fine westerly breeze which would carry her clear of the land in a very few hours.

EXTRAORDINARY IRRESISTIBLE IM PULSE TO CRIME.

Boston, July 20th.—Jesse R. Pomeroy has made a full confession of his murder of Katy Curran. He said Katy came to the store one morning for papers. He direc ted her to the cellar and she vent down. He followed her to the middle of the cellar, where he pat his left arm arouad her neck, and with a knife in his right hand cnt her throat. He then concealed the body, washed his hands and the knife, returned to the store and- told nobody. By the above confession, says a New York telegram, ; the case of the boy-murderer Pomeroy," is again brought into prominence. The lad, no w 14 years old, was convicted two years ago of maiming some of his comrades in a shocking manner. He was seat to the State Reform School and eventually pardoned out in March last. One of his little plaj mates, named Mellan, suddenly disappeared, and the boy was found in a marsh mutilated in the manner previously adopted by Pomeroy. The circumstances of the case all pointed to Pomeroy as the probable mur derer. He was arrested and made a con fession, which he has sinae denied, but has not yet been put upon trial. About the same time Katy Curran, a child 10 years old, mysteriously disappeared., All search was unavailing, but last Saturday her mangled remains were found concealed in the cellar of the house occupied by the Pomeroy family at the time of her disappearance. The atro cious mangling of the body corresponded with the wounds inflicted upon the pre vious victims of .Pomeroy. The simple and painful minuteness of his Btory, as told yesterday to the Chief of Police go far to prove t its trutfi and render of no account any future denial he might make The developments the examination thug far

have exciited the deepest'interest in the phe nomenal character of the boyasd his cruelties to other children. His fiendish murder of the Mellan boy is recalled, and new cases, where lie endeavored to entice children away with him, have been discovered. When first, examined, two years ago, on the charges of mutilating little boys in Chelsea and East Bos ton, he said, in reply to a question why he did it: " I doric know, your Honor, only I could not help it. I had to do it. It has now come ou* directly after this investigation a party of threo physicians, thinking there must be some cogent reason for this conduct, called upon his mother, who was very frank in her answers to their questiens. She said her husband was a butcher, and that for a few few weeks before Jesse was born ahe often went to the Slaiigher-iouse to see the killing of animals, In which she took a particular delight, and had evea assisted her husband in his work. No sooner had Jesse grown large enough to have a kaifu in his hand than he was continually using it, thrusting it into pieces of wood, and when he was older, into pieces of meat in his father's market. There seemed to be no doubt that he was marked just as other children, though in a different way. Yester day's confession was made volantarily, and Pomeroy's only excuse was that he could not help it.
