The Week.
The magistrates afc Ilford were engaged on Saturday in examining into one of those shocking cases of cruelty at sea , where , as is alleged in the evidence , the master of a ship conceives a prejudice to one of the crew , and broods over it till it becomes a mania . In the present case a workhouse boy was bound apprentice to the owner aud master of a Barking smack . His habits were offensive , and probably he was not of much uso on board . The master repeatedly beat him in an
inhumanmanner , and at times kc-pfc him without food for twenty-four hours together . The boy died on his voyage home ; but as his death arose from natural causes , the only charge against the prisoner is for feloniously wounding . The case was remanded , and . the prisoner admitted to bail . The man Kilsby , who shot a grocer , named Cook , at his own shop cloor , in Battersea , some two months ago , has been committed for trial . His victim , who has partially recovered almost by miracle , was present , and gave
his evidence . The attempted assassination arose out of a feeling of what appears to have been unfounded jealousy . The six prisoners charged with stealing Bank of England paper from the mills at Laverstoke and forging notes were brought up at the Mansion House on Wednesday . One of them , a female , calling herself Ellen Burnett , was released from custody , at the instance of Mr . Fresbfield , the solicitor for the prosecution . Against the other prisoners a good deal of evidence was taken . One of them ,
James Griffiths , was apprehended at Birmingham while printing forged Bank of England notes . The evidence against the other prisoners was that of a man named Henry Brown , who had been employed as a carpenter at the paper mills at Laverstoke . He gave a circumstantial narrative of how he was asked by the prisoner Burnett and the woman who lived with him as his wife to get some paper from the mills ; how he refused at first , and afterwards consented ; how he was met by the prisoner Brewer ,
on one occasion while bringing some paper away , and was advised by him to take ifc back ; and how afterwards Brewer himself stole paper , and gave it to him to carry to Burnett . He . also gave a particular account of Burnett's visits to different people in London , including another of the prisoners , Buncber . Afc the close of Brown's evidence , the prisoners were remanded to Friday . FOEEI & N IXTEEMCVMCCE . —The Vienna Cabinet have settled the dispute between the Chambers in tho truly constitutional
way , by accepting the vote of the Lower Chamber striking 60 , 000 florins for diplomatic services out of the Budget . According to a . telegram from Turin , a letter praying the Pope to renounce his temporal power has been published by a portion of the Italian clergy . Seventeen surgeons including Professor Partridge and i'r . Nelafcon , have held a consultation respecting the state of Garibaldi's wound .

y g foreign envoys at Athens assurances "that the - ¦ : volution will be confined to Greece , " or , in other words , that no ; ' tempt will be made to kindle an insurrection among the Greek subjects of the Ottoman Sultan . The Portuguese Cortes were opened on the 4 th by commission . The speech did not contain any passage of polical importance . By telegram from Lisbon , we hear that the Island of Fayal has been desolated by a succession of earthquakes
extending over 19 days , in consequence of which all who could were quitting lor other islands in the American group .

agitated state , and several of the working-classes have been arrested . -rV telegram from Madrid announces that the Brazilian Government has paid the eight millions which it owed to Spain .
