FBOM OUt LONBO& e § £$ ® T PONDENT . " fc - ' \ 3 ^ THE INFAMOUS SPY SYSTEM AGAIN j ^ You will recollect that , in all my letters to yon on the Bethnal Green meeting , and the trfo&tiuct were to take place , 1 have spoken of the affair , uniformly , as a '' deeply-laid police plot . " r-It is truly satisfactory to be able to see wxtf * opinions corroborated , as mine in this and some other instances , hare been by subsequent-events . Let the readers of the Star peruse the following statement , and then ask themselves— " who are the traitors V—the Whigs or the Chartists !
Wobship-Stbket . —A tall youn $ man . having the appearance of a decent mechanic , who gave the name of Henry Harris , which is known to be assumed , was brought before Mr * Grove , upon a charge of haying unlawfully obtained certain legal documents under false and fraudulent pretences . The case excited unusual interest , and numerous Chartists , whose interest ? , it will be found , were materially involved in it . crowded the court . Mr . Henry Boyden Roberts , the solicitor for the prosecution , stated that he had been employed to defend certain Chartists , who were under prosecution for having taken part in an alleged illegal meeting , at Bethnalgreen , and to enable him to prepare their several
pleas , copies of the intended depositions of their witnesses had been made at his offices , which were afterwards sent to the witnesses for perusal . The trials were to have come on in the ensuing sessions , but they had been very recently removed by ctrlxorari in the Court of Queen ' B Bench . The charge he had to prefer against the prisoner was , that of having gone round to those witnesses , and , under false representation that he had been sent by him ( Mr . Roberts ) , of having applied for those depositions , in one instance successfully . He considered the prisoner to be a tool in the hands of some evil-disposed persons who wished to deprive the accused of their means of defence , and to defeat tt ^ ends ^ justift * The Learned Gentleman then called the foliowwi
witnesses : — : ;¦ Joseph Williams , a baker , living In Brick-lane , Spitalfields , stated that he was one of the Chartist defendants now out on bail . On the preceding afternoon one of his witnesses , named Fishey , came to his house , and told him that a man . whom he suspected to be an imposter , had just before applied to him , in Mr . RobertB ' s name , for the « opy of his deposition , and that he had appointed to meet him that evening at the Bell and Dragon public-house , in Worship-street . Upon hearing this witness immediately hastened , in company of another defendant named Spurr , to Mr . Roberta ' s offices in . the Temple , where he ascertained that no one had been sent on such a mission . He accordingly went at half-past six to the p lace of appointment , where he found his witness sitting in the parlour with the prisoner , whom he introduced to witness as the man who had visited him . Witness asked him under whose
authority he had acted , and he answered under that of Mr . Roberts , at the same time pulling out a card with Mr . Roberts ' s name and address engraved upon it . He stated further that he had been provided with the card in cod sequence of several of the witnesses on whom he had called having doubted his authority . Witness then charged him with being an impostor , which he denied , and requested that Mir . Roberts might be srnt for , but on being told he should be given into custody , he became much agitated , and endeavoured to leave the room . Mr . Spurr , however , barred his exit by plaoing his baok against the door , upon which he made an attempt to escape through the window , failing whioh he whispered to a stranger sitting close to him , " Go for Sergeant Grove , of Worship-street , or for Superintendent Pierce . " A policeman was sent for , on whose arrival the prisoner was removed to the station-house . ¦ ¦
Robert Spurr , a carpenter , living in New-court , King-street , Smithfield , gave corroborative evidence . William Flahey , a tailor , living at No . 5 , Brown ' Bbuildings , St . Mary-axe , after having stated that he was one of the witnesses for the defendants , proceeded to say that on the afternoon before the prisoner called upon him at his workshop ; and told him that he had been sent by Mr . Roberts , who wanted his deposition to alter it in consequence of the trials having been removed into the Queen ' s Bench . He pulled out a book containing a list of the several witnesses , upon each of whom ne said he was about to call on a similar errand . Witness told him that the document was at his lodgings , upon which the prisoner requested him to meet htm
with it at his aouse of call ; and after some further conversation the meeting was arranged for that evening at the Bell and Dragon . Thejprisoner then departed , and witness went to Mr . William * and apprised him of the transaction . [ The remainder of the witness ' s evidence confirmed thatpv « n above . ] Sergeant Ellis produced two of Jar . Roberts ' s cards , and a list of the witnesses' nameey found upon the prisoner , together with a pocket took containing memoranda * > f wxiat took pEjifce at Als interviews withthem . ' -.-: . - " ¦ . , r ' ¦ Benj . Newley , a ^ weaver , living in "White-streirf , Bethnal-green , stated that on the preceding afternoon the prisoner came to him at hia workshop , and after
introducing himself as a messengit . fttfm Mr . Roberts , he asked him if he was aware tint tto prosecution had been removed into the Queen ' s Betion . Mr . Roberts , he said , " was in a devil of a way about it , and was stamping about the office like a mad fellow . " He then asked him for his deposition , as Mr . Roberts wanted it immediately to amend it . Witness took the document out of a trunk in which he kept it , and handed it to the prisoner , who pointed to a part relating to Mr . Neesom ' s having taken the chair , observing that that was the part that required alteration . He then took away the paper , and witness had not seen it since .
Mr . Roberts was next sworn , who deposed that he had never given any of his cards to the prisoner , ne ? authorized him or any other person to make such application . To the best of his knowledge , he had never before seen the prisoner . The case for % h& prosecution having closed , a solicitor , who attended for the prisoaer , submitted that the document , alleged to have been obtained by his client , must be produced before the case could be established against him . Mr . Boustead , the clerk , remarked that to do so would be an impossibility , as the prisoner , if he were not still in possession of it , must have disposed of it
bevond the reach of the complainants . The Solicitor further urged that , to make out the offence under the statute , the article obtained must possess some intrinsic value . Mr . Grove said that the value of the paper alone was sufficient to bring it within the provisions of the act , the principle Deins ; the same whether the property was worth £ 100 or one farthing . The magistrate cited a case in point from Barnard and Alderson and gave it as his decided opinion that the false pretence had been sufficiently made out . He should , therefore , commit the prisoner upon the charge .
Mr . Roberts begged the magistrate to allow the prsioner to be brought up again on a future day , as several similar cases could be made out against him . The prisoner was accordingly remanded until Wednesday . In addition to the particulars stated above , we have since ascertained that a man named Goulding was present at the office of the solicitor , Mr . Roberts , in Child ' s Place , Temple Bar , when a certain document was brought to the office from the prisoners : that document was placed on the file by
Air . Roberta ' s clerk , who went to speak to some other clients , and subsequently missed the document , which has since been found on the fellow Harris , as he calls himself ; but whose real name is believed to be Taylor , and that his number is 33 or 133 G division ; he has been seen at the station house frequently ; and aUoOk found on -him eoat&ins a list of names of the most zealouB Chartists , with remarks like this , " called twice—no go- ^ doubted my authority , "— " called , not at home- —* think it ' s all right , '—" got the depositions , but could not find the list of witnesses . "
It will not do to trust ourselves to speak of this vile and detestable plot ; it is not the only one . though ; although , like every scoundrel who is found out in his villany , " it is the first time . " There is to be a meeting of the Committeesat Lunt ' s Coffee House , to-morrow evening , at which Goulding is to be present , but I doubt if he will attend . I shall forward the particulars ; and also the result of the examination on Wednesday .

PARIS POLICE . . On Wednesday week a little decrepid old bachelor , delighting in the name of Hygin Narcissus Topinot , summoned a great strapping maid , by name Ursula , on a charge . of assault . M . Topinot opened the case by mating that he was formerly a hosier , and had retired from business to enjoy tranquillity in his old age ; that he had taken the defendant to serve him in the various posts of maid , housekeeper , and companion , little expecting that he would one day be confined a week to his bed from her rough treatment . After this preliminary statement ; the worthy hosier added , " I had been thinking for some time back that my servant plundered me—it ia useful to have
such ideas , for it makes one be constantly on the watch . Well , then , I used to say to myself daily , I am sure 1 am plundered ; but as I always found what I looked after , I kept my thoughts to myself , but still continued to have my eyes open . One day I could 'not find a china bowl , which my godson gave me on my birth-day in 1819 , and I said to myself lam sure . that mt s&vanjb plunaera-me . I looked about But could no * flfld it , and I aggnaaid tb myself surely my servant plunders me , '' y , . Ursula—Your old cracked bowl haa been found . It was worth while making euch a fuss about feuch trumperyjjpsjt n ^ i ;^;;^ . : ^ _^ ' . - Svplnot ^ Wnat do you ffliewi T Do you mean to insinuate anytning agamst my moral character ) Ursula ( bursting into laughter)—You are very amusing . Look at yourself , in . God ' s name , and tell
me if any body could bring any charge of that nature against you . ^ The President—Yon were very wrong to strike your master ; if he accused you without reason , you should have demanded an explanation . Ursula—You , little know what a bore he is . He is always supposing one to be coveting hu old things . One day he told me that I had stolen a pasteboard nose with mustachios , which he had bought twenty years ago to disguise himself during carnival . I asked what I , a young unmarried woman , could do with such a frightful thing ; and a few days after he found it in a cupboard whioh he had not opened for above ten years . I was accused of having stolen his old gaiters or boot-straps , and other old things that no one would pick up in the streets . All this vexed me , and one day I could not avoid thumping him .
The court , thinking that Topinot , by his false accusations , had caused the assault , dismissed the charge , and sentenced the prosecutor to costs . Topinot— -I valued the bowl on account of the giver ; . but to continue—I . summoned Ursula to appear before me , and I said , "Decidedly , Ursula , you rob me . " If you had seen her when I said this , it was no longer a woman that I had before me—it was a tigress deprived of her young ones . She caught me by my arm , and thumped with such energy
that I may be grateful for not having been beaten to pieces . When she had thrashed me well , she turns to me , and says , " Now explain what you mean by saying that I rob you . " It was high time to ask for an explanation , was it not ! I then asked her what had become of my gold-edged china bowl ! "And was it for your old cracked bowl that you dared accuse an-honest woman of being a thief ? Yonr bowl is in the kitchen ; it serves me to keep the sand in with whioh I scour the saucepans . " And in fact my poor bowl was turned to that abominable
account . The President—You were wrong to accuse the girl of being a thief without any cause . Topinot—Without cause 1 I had plenty of cause . She was always where she had no business to be , examining my cupboards , coming into my dressingroom ; and it was this conduct on her part which made me say to myself , " Surely my servant plunders me . " Ursula—I think I had a right to do what I did .

^ English Champagne . —A patent has recently been obtained by a gentleman in this city for making wine from the green stalks of the rhubarb plant , which almost equals the champagne wine of France in flavour ,. The quantity of" wine that can be made in a year , from one acre of land , is immenseexceeding 150 hogsheads . —Bath Gazette . Feat Extraordinary . —Thursday , a gentleman of this university backed himself against time to perform the following feats : —Kill twelve pigeons , jump over six hurdles on foot , and leap a horse over six more , scull one mile , and run one mile , in the short Bpace of half an hour . The place selected for the performance of this undertaking was a mil © from Baitsbite sluice towards Clayhite , and it being
generall y understood that it would come off about twelve o clock , a large concourse ofpersonsassembled at that time , and betting commenced with great spirit at 3 to 1 against him . About half-past twelve the gentleman made his appearance accompanied by his friends , and he soon began the work of destruction amongst the pigeons , and for the performance of this part of the undertaking five guns and eight traps were provided , with twenty-one pigeons . The signal being given , down they came , one at a time , and before four minutes had expired the twelve pigeons were killed , out of nineteen fired at ; Of the remaining two , one escaped , and the other was false , for which a quarter of a minute was allowed according to agreement . Thus thiB part of the feat , which from the most moderate calculation was expected to have occupied eight minutes , was performed in three minutes and three quarters . Having begun well he showed good pluck , and started for the first six hurdles , which were placed about three yards apart : these he cleared in a twinkling ; and having mounted his steed , took the next six in gallant style ; the whole of the leaping being completed in two minutes and a quarter . He then quietly jumped into the boat , and with apparent ease , sculled a mile down the stream in nine minutes , amidst the plaudits of the persons assembled . The next and last thing to be performed was t « run a mile , which , he commenced by a walk a quarter of the way . and the re ^ mainder was only a moderate pace , this took up seven minutea and a half . Thus accomplishing the undertaking in the incredible snort space of twentytwo minutes and a half . —Cambridge pape r .

Late on Thursday night , Ministers were defeated on the notorious Newport and Monteagle job by a majority of 28 , tfee numbers being 312 to 240 . We subjoin the following extract from the Herald on the subject : — The Queen ' s respectable advisers have been again left in a minority—a minority of 28 . The subject was the notorious Newport ana Monteagle job . If these men were not the meanest and most despicable place-holders to whom the destinies of a great nation ever were entrusted , tae resignation of their offices would follow , as a matter of course , from this signal and most humiliating defeat . But Lord John Russell and his worthy accomplices , rather
than abandon office , will brave defeat and discomfiture every night in the Session . The flaming " patriots" and ^ Reformers" of 1831 have , in 1840 , subsided into the most obsequious of palace toadies —the most reckless and profligate of jobbers . They have contrived to render the name of Whig synonymous with all that is infamous and grovelling . The ^ oi which was under discussion last-night is , perhaps , the most atrocious of their innumerable offences against public decency . The circumstances of the case may be briefly stated .
Mr . Spring Rice proved , perhaps , tho worst Chancellor of the Exchequer that ever was inflicted on this country . His mismanaged everything intrusted to hiB care . It became necessary , in fact , to bis colleagues , that he should be got rid of . They tried to secure bis return as Speaker of the House of Commons ; but as Mr . Leader stated , last night , they met with little eneouragement in their project even from their habitual supporters . They , then , bethought themselves of the Comptrollership of the Exchequer ; and that office they , finally , contrived to secure for him .
Sir John Newport ' s appointment to the Comptrollership of the Exchequer was a gross Job . His retirement was brought about by a job . eves more gross . By a special Act of Parliament , the / Comptroller of the Exchequer is specially precluded from the enjoyment of a pension , or of a retiring allowance—it being deemed all important that the individual filling that important office should have nothing to hope from Government . In defiance of this express statute , Sir John Newport was bribed b y a pension of £ 1 , 000 a year to resign the Comptrollership of the . Exchequer in favour of Mr . Spring Riee .
And from what Bonrce was this pension supplied ? There is a fund of £ 1 , 200 a-year placed at the disposal of the Sovereign for the relief of men eminent m science , in li terature , in art , to whom fortune may not have been propitious . Ofthis sum of £ 1 , 200 —a sum sacred to genius and to misfortune—the present occupants of office were not ashamed to apappropriate £ 1 , 000 a-year to the purpose of bribing Sir John Newport to resign his office in favour of Mr . Spring Rice . Can any portion of the public hesitate to pronounce men capable of jobbing so profligate to De utterly unfit to administer public affairs . The defeat of last night constitutes the third defeat which the Queen ' s high-minded Ministers have already sustained in the present Session . " We have Bhown fight , " exclaimed Lord Morpeth . w Yes , " rejoined Sir James Graham , " and you have Bhown yourselves gluttons of punishment , "

Thb following puff on M . Ole Bull , the celebrated violinist , appears in some of the French papers : — "A few nights ago , on retcrning to his lodgings , he found a large case addrtssed to him , marked boisdbntlery ( firewood . ) Having opened it , he found twenty-three violins with their bows , and a letter from a musical society , informing him that the owners of these violins , who gave their names , after having heard him perform , were so displeased with their inferiority , that they had resolved to send their instruments to him , and to request him to burn them . M . Ole Bull instantly resolved upon inviting the twenty-three gentlemen to a splendid dinner , and ; as the guests entered the dining-room , each found his violin suspended over his chair , with a label beariDg the words Solitude and Perseverance . "
A poster on the Qnaid'Orsay , named Tissandier , found , on Monday afternoon , in the rue de Bourgogne , a red morocco pocket-book , containing niae bank-notes for 509 fr . each , but no papers indicating the address or even the name of the owner . Persuaded that the loser would eome back to try and find Mb lost treasure , he posted himself in the immediate neighbourhood of the spot , and waited patiently for upwards of an hour , till he perceived an elderly gentleman pass by with a countenance that betrayed great anxiety . Tissandier accosted him , asking him if he had met with any accident . The gentleman replied , that he had that afternoon , in passing along tne street , dropped his pocket-book , and gave so accurate a description , of that which the porter had . picked . , up , that theworthjftlloW immediately gave it up , ' and wished jfhe owner good-bye . The ' gentleman , however , hastened after him , and vrkh great difficulty prevailed upon him to accept one of the notes , —Gaiiffnani .
The Nouvellisie states that an English groom who arrived recently at Boulogne with some horses of value , and who was lodging at a small hotel on the port , kept by a person of the name ef Newman asked the other day for a glass of water , into which be - threw a white substance , which he said was Epsom salts . He invited the master of the house to take some of the purgative , and the latter having accepted the invitation , he took the glass after the groom had swallowed the liquid , and poured some
water upon what remained of the white substance at the bottom- His wife also drank with her husband , but they were both dreadfully alarmed on seeing the groom fall dead at their feet . They were both taken ill , but as the quantity which they had taken was comparatively small , they were restored by medical aid after much suffering . The groom , adds the Nouvellisie , is reported to have poisoned himself , n consequence of his having sold one of the horses intrusted to bis care and spent the money . The substance was arsenic .
The Imprisoned * Sheriffs . —Sign are beginning to show teemselves that the now long protracted imprisonment of Mr . Sheriff Evans is exciting still stronger fellings in the minds of a large mass of the people . In theCity , on Thursday , placardswere placed in various Bhopl , referring to the subject in terms not to be mistaken . In one shop was a trio of questions and answers to the following effect : — " Where is William Evans , Esq ., the 3 heriif 1 " "In prison . " " By whom was he placed there ! " " By the Commons * House of Parliament . " ** For what reason ?" " For obeying the law . " This ia printed in alternate lines of red and black letter , or large sizs ; and being placed over the entrance tothehouse , attracted very general attention .
The " Privilege" Prisoners . —A disgraceful and unwarrantable liberty has been taken with Mr . Pearce , the clerk to Mr . Howard , Stockdale ' s attorney , now in the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms . On Wednesday evening Sir Francis Burdett sent a message to Mr . Pearce , stating that he should have great pleasure in presenting his petition the same evening to the house , in compliance with the request contained in Mr . Pearce ' g letter . Mr . Pearce expressed himself in terms of the utmost astonishment , and desired the messenger to communicate to Sir Francis that he had not written any letter to him , neither was it his intention to present any petition . A short time afterwards Sir Francis himself
called at the prison cells with a letter , purporting to bear Mr . Pearce ' s signature , {* the effect already mentioned , and which , it is hardly necessary to say , was a forgery . The Hon . Bart , was assured by the prisoner that he would endure any suffering rather than compromise the question for which he was incarcerated , » feeling-iB-which Sir Jisuicis . fjillyconcurred . The prisoners were allowed to attend Divine service on Sunday last , and they intend soliciting permission to take a snort exercise dail y in the open air . Several attempts to tamper with Mr . Pearce have been made , without success , that gentleman thinking , to use his own words , that it would be unbecoming him as a soldier to show a white feather in so good a cause .
Alakkino Fibe in Limb-Stbeet , Citt . —Shortly before four o ' clock on Saturday morning the vicinity of Fenchurch-street , city , was thrown into a state of the greatest alarm by the sudden outbreak of a most alarming fire on the extensive premises of Mr . Townend , wholesale hat-manufacturer , situate on the lefthand side of Lime-street , between the entrances to Leadenhall-market . The fire was first discovered in what is termed the store-room on the second floor , which , in fact , is the upper story of the spacious building , where the flamea were raging most furiously , and speedily threatened destruction to the whole of the premises . On the alarm being given , the city police assembled in considerable numbers , and rendered efficient aid in removing an immense quantity
of valuable hats from the lower rooms to places of safety . Within a few minutes after the discovery of the fire the parochial engine waa brought to the spot , followed shortly afterwards b y those of the brigade from Jeffrey ' a-sqaare and Wailing-street stations , as well as those of the County and West of England fire-offices . Other engineB of the brigade also hastened to the spot in rapid succession , and , being speedily got into operation , soon poured a powerful stream of water on to the flames , which by that time had encompassed the roof , illuminating the atmosphere for miles round . The combined action of the engines , however , by six o ' clock had so far subdued the destructive element , as to allay all fears of its extending further . The premises from the first floor upwards , are completely gutted . They were , we understand , originally built somewhere about the year 1668 ( shortly after the great fire of London ) for the use of the Pewterers' Company , and were known as Pewtereis' halL The entire premises have now , however , been for some time in the occupation of Mr . Townend , whose loss , notwithstanding much property as well a 3 the books were saved , must be very great . It is , we believe , insured in the Dissenters' General and other offices , and the premises in the Londom and Phoenix compaaie * .

THE CATHOLICS AND THE TEETOTALLERS . On Thursday night last , an important meeting , called by the Executive Council of the British and Foreign Temperance Society , took place at the South London Temperance Hall ( late a chapel ) , for the alleged purpose of forming a Catholic Temperance Union , on the plan adopted by the Rev . Theobald Mathew , of Cork . At eight o ' clock , the place of meeting , which is capable of accommodating from 6 & 0 or " 00 persons , was filled to overflowing ; and , notwithstanding there was another Temperance meeting within two miles , on the same evening , and that a meeting had been held by the Catholics themselves , at their own Chapel , on the Tuesday previous , when sixty-four names were obtained in one hour to the Total Abstinence Pledge : a considerable number of names were , on this evening , also obtained at the conclusion of the business . The resolutions which it had been intended to submit to the meeting were withdrawn , in eoneequence of a communication haviDg been received from Father Doyle , thai it had been resolved by the Clergy to hold their meetings on this subject in their respective places of worship ; although the Temperance advocates were to be invited , and they would themselves attend any of the British and Foreign Tempera uce Society ' s meetings at which they could be rf service . Mr . Hockings ( brother of the Birmingham blacksmith ) was voted to the chair . '
