      The Sailors' Strike In The North. A Meet...

      THE SAILORS STRIKE IN THE NORTH . ( Concluded from our seventh page . ) During the week the agitation * has extended to Hull , and a pretty general strike has taken place there . The grievances stated are a recent reduction of wages and the operation of the shipping offices , the latter especially being looked upon with hatred . As far as Hull is concerned , the Mercantile Marine Act mav be regarded as the principal grievance complained of by the men , for the wages there are notoriously higher than at otber ports . The provisions in the act for the forfeiture by the sailors of one day ' s pay for swearing ; one day ' s pay for not being shaved and washed on Sundays ; one day ' s pay if found washing their clothes on the Sunday ; and one day ' s pay by the cook if he has not the

      dinner ready for the crew at the appointed time , are looked upon as vexatious regulations , to which the men are determined not to submit . On Tuesday evening a meeting of the seamen , convened by placard , was held in the Apollo Rooms , Paragon-street , for the purpose of taking into consideration the present low rate of wages given to seamen , and also to petition the Board of Trade with respect to the shipping offices . There were upwards of 200 seamen present , and the admission was strictly confined to those who could produce their register tickets . The chair was taken at seven o clock by a seaman , who addressed his " mates" on the

      objects of the meeting , and read to them an account of the strikes in Sunderland and Shields , in which places the seamen obtained the wages for which they struck . ( Cheers . ) His advice was , therefore , that they should foilow the example of the seamen of Sunderland and Shields , and agree together to a certain sum binding themselves not to accept less . ( Hear , hear . ) He then suggested that they should fix , as their loirest pay , the sum of £ 3 per month and small stores , or £ 3 os . without , for foreign voyages . After addresses from other seamen the meeting was adjourned .

      Blittil Day Of Thomas Paine. A A Tea Par...

      BlitTIl DAY OF THOMAS PAINE . A A tea party and public meeting , ' ^ cmm ^ ° I ^ L titiontion of the above event , was held on sunoay S'svemvening , by thesocieiv of Free Inquirers , meeting tat fet the British Coffee Rooms , Edgewarc-road . A ununnumerous party sat down &> anes ™* ^ £ i swhowhote arrangements of winch gave great sat sj actitiontion . Mr . P eel was called to the chair , and in an aabteble manner explained the objects ot the ^ meeting * Mb . Shohteh re sponded to the sentiment of « "T " Thomas Paine and the Rgntsof torn . They vwerwere not only to show their respect lo the memory cof lof P . « ine , but also to declare their allegiance to the ppriiprincipJcs which he advocated . They could nottoo cofttoften n ave presented to their notice the memory of tthnthnsp ! < rreat and ffood men who bad exerted their

      ttalttalents for the benefit of their fellow-creatures ; aamamong that bright array none was more worthy of cconcommemoration than Thomas Paine . The epithet cof » f a Friend of the People was well deserved by him , zamJand his name , aud the Rights of Man , would be for ieveever indelibly associated . His opponents were the lleglegislators , the bishops , the pnests , the lawyers , ian %£ d the wcalthv of the land . Ever ? artifice had Ibeibecn resorted to * bv them to bheken his character , : aniand root out the principles he was inculcating , but Uhfthe result proved , that however error and prejudice ^ mimi ght for a time gain the ascendant , that truth wowould ultim ately prove victorious . Paine was i enientircly universal in his views , —his principles and wrwritings were app licable to all countries and to all ifinfime . He was a disinterested advocate , freely

      giigiving his labours and his writings for the public be benefit ; and even in the height of his popularity risriakinghisfameby fearlessly advocating histheolojlogicsl views . The speaker then entered into an iniinteresting detail of the labours of Paine in America , EiEngland , and Franco . Mb . Bowes also responded to this sentiment , " " Time truly works wonders . " The man whose efleffigies a few years back waa burnt in the streets of al almost every town in the kingdom , and whose name wwas used as an epithet to frighten children , was fa fast becoming the admiration of the people , and w would , ere long , be looked npon as one of the g greatest men England had produced . It might truly b be said of him , " Though dond he yet speaketh . " Mr . Loxo ( in the absence of Mr . Holyoake , )

      resp ponded to the sentiment of ' * The Sovereignty of the I People and the Fraternity of Nations . " In past a ages the people were entirely neglected . History v was only the record of despotic governors and not t the history of the people . It wasnotnntil men 1 like Paine started from the ranks of the people , i and breaking the banns of conventionalism , ushered i in the dawn of a new state of things , that the ] people began to have any real influence in the i moulding of their own destinies . Now every day 1 was bringing more converts to these doctrines , and J hastening the hour when the people would be indeed i sovereign . The Fraternity of Nations and the Sovereignty of the People were inseparably allied ; Fraternity could only flourish where a people were free . Then the world would be a garden of peace , none having a motive to fear or injure each other .

      Ma . B £ . vvErr supported this sentiment . The great battle of the world was now to be fought . Ifitherto tho many had always endured misery and death to promote the grandeur of the few . This had entirely arisen from the people being destitute of political power- If one nation had no right to aggrandise itself on the ruin of another , neither had one man a right to do it on the ruin of his neighbour . The Sovereignty of the People was therefore equivalent to the Fraternity of Nations ; each presumed brotherhood and equality among all men . Me . T . M . Wheelee and Me . Mat . responded to the sentiment of the " Freedom of the Press . " Mb . WiLFonn suggested that the society should commence receiving subscriptions for building a monument to tbe memory of Paine , and pointed out the advantages thereof . Several members spoke on the subject , which was adjourned for further consideration .

      Between tbe various sentiments , the Girondist , McrseUlaiie , and other patriotic hymns , were given by the Chorus of the Institution , and the assembly departed highly gratified with their entertainment .

      A Pablic Supper Took Placa On Wednesday ...

      A pablic supper took placa on Wednesday evening , at the Crown Tavern , to celebrate the above event . A very respectable company sat down to an excellent entertainment ; when the cloth was removed , Mr . Broome was called to the chair , and Mr . Lombard to the vice-chair . The proceedings commenced by singing the " Girondists" and " Marsellaise " hymns . The Chaibmax gave the first sentiment : — " The memory of the immortal Thomas Paine . " They were assembled to do honour to one of those men whose footsteps would guide them in the paths of rectitude and justice . The Chairman then gave a very interesting and minute detail of the life and actions of Paine , showing tbe mighty influence he

      exercised in forming the American Republic , and the vast debt mankind owed to him for this service alone . He then dilated upon the humanity and courage he displayed during his career as a member Of the Xailoual Cuuvculiuu . iu Fiuuce , aud praised his philosophy and true devotion which actuated him in braving all the prejudices of the time in writing his " Age of Reason . " He also eulogised the conduct of Carlisle , Watson , and the Chartist Executive , for popularising the works of this great writer , and concluded by calling upon them to join in one great struggle for their political rights . Mr . Smcomhe also responded to the sentiment , which was followed , as were all the other sentiments , by appropriate songs and music . Mr . Fbzzen responded to the sentiment of " The People . " The institutions of kingcraft and priestcraft were the relics of a barbarous age , and would

      melt away before the increase of knowledge and enlightenment whenever the people were appealed to . Dr . Farm responded to tho sentiment , — " 5 fay Revolutions never cease until the Crowns of Europe are melted into type to print the Rights of Man / ' The speaker showed that , rife as physical revolutions had been within the few last years , moral revolutions would in tbe succeeding years become more rife . Though the crowned despots of Europe might seem secure on their thrones , yet such was the progress of mind that , in a short time , their power would be crumbling into dust . Robespierre , who had been so misrepresented , was not the bloodthirsty wretch he had been depicted , hut an advocate for humanity , the spread of knowledge and true Democracy ; and , like Paine , he was beginning to have those honours paid to him of which he is so worthy . Mr . Elliott also responded to this sentiment .

      Mr . Gabdisee spoke to the sentiment of " The Memory of the Democratic Martyrs of all Nations , and of aU Time . " The speaker , in an eloquent manner , alluded to the martyr Frost , and his colleagues , Mitchel , and Ms brother patriots , Cuffey , Lacey , Sharp , and others , and by his impressive manner , drew tears from his audience . Mr . G . Wheelbs also responded to this sentiment , and dwelt on the martyrs which Europe had bequeathed to their memories . Though confined to a country district the men of O'Connorville would yield to none in then * aspirations for the spread of Democracy throughout the world .

      Mr . Osbobse responded to the toast of "More Pi ^ and Less Parsons , " and Mr . T . M . Wheeleb tolhat of " The Freedom of the Press . " A vote of thanks waa then given to the Chairman , and the guests adjourned to the Ball-room in Turnmill-street , where happiness and joy reigned during the remaining hours of the night . On the same evening a Tea Party , in celebration Of the above event , was held at the Westminster Young Men s Society Rooms , Little Dean-street , Soho .

After hearing the arguments adduced , the Chancellor of the Exchequer said , the deputation would not of course except him to give them , any information as to what was to be done by the Government , He had before him the prospect of a deputation from every class of persons who paid taxes , all desiring to have the faxes removed . The interview lasted npwards of au hour .

      LiaHiHonsss rs Feasce . —According to an official report , there are on the sea-coast of France atpresent , fifty-seven lighthouses of the first class ! Besides those destined to mark at a longdistance the points of the coast , 107 lights of less reach indicate the entrance of the ports and bays ef France Of the fifty-seven large lights , seventeen are in the Channel , twenty-five on tho Atlantic , and fifteen On the Mediterranean . —2 fa & fcr .

In Whitechapel 8 , 000 depositors have presented themselves in less than nine months ; and their united accumulations amounted in that time te about £ 2 , 000 , or an average of 5 s . to each depositor .

      What b ihb Measccg of Stats Ed & catiox ?—Education is derived from Educere , to bring forth , to draw out ; bnt the only thing which State education brings forth is the total incapacity of the State to educate the people ; and the utmost it draws ont is a miserable sum of something like £ 30 , 000 a year , for no other purpose , apparently , than that of proving the above incapacity . —By One of the ff « t . jBft « sfcc ? , —Ptfjiefi ,

      Exiraobdikanr Case Of Mistaken Identity....

      ExiRAOBDiKAnr Case of Mistaken Identity . — It will be recollected that Mr . John Goldsmid was tried at tho past Middlesex Sessions , before Mr . Sergeant Adams , for an assault alleged to have been committed by hiuuon George Tideman , au Excise officer , and , after a trial which occupied a considerable time , found guilty and sentenced to an imprisonment of three months . Immediately after the trial Messrs . Lewis , of Ely-place , who defended Mr . Goldsmid , having from the instructions they had received , felt confident of the innocence " of Mr . Goldsmid , proceeded to obtain evidence in addition to that given at the trial , with the view of laying the whole body of testimony before Sir George Grer . Assisted by the

      efforts of Mr . Goldsmid ' s family and numbers of his friends , his solicitors produced fifteen declarations upon the subject , and forwarded them to the judge who tried the unlucky defendant . While this was in the possession of Mr . Sergeant Adams , the innocence of Mr . Goldsmid was placed beyond all doubt by the appearance of Mr . Hoggins , the person who had , as was stated , committed tbe assault , and who came forward to take upon himself the responsibility , and to relieve the individual erroneously charged from the imputation against him . Mr . Sergeant Adams , immediately upon hearing the statement of Mr . Hoggins , and Messrs . Lewis having reduced that statement to a declaration on oath , addressed the Secretary of State for the Home Department , and the result was that , within balf-an-hour after the presentation of the document on Thursday Mr . Goldsmid was liberated from

      custody with a free pardon , the pardon being , of course a mere form , but necessarily arising from the fact that the verdict of the jury was " guilty . " Another Fiue is BERjioxosEr . —On Thursday night , shortly before twelve o ' clock , a fire , which did considerable mischief , broke out in the extensive buildings belonging to Mr . Hacker , tanner , Spa-road , Bermondsey . The fire commenned from some cause not clearly ascertained , ia what ; is termed the drying room This building was upwards of 100 feet long , by thirty or forty feet wide , and at the time of the misfortune contained some hundred pounds worth of property . The moment the existence of the flames became known , numerous engines started for the scene , and there being an abundant supply of water , the flames were soon extinguished , but not until the building in which the fire originated , together with its valuable contents , had been destroyed . -

      Ar-PBEnExsros of ax aiiegbb Mobdeber in Liverfool . —In the month of November , 1812 , Mr . James Scully , a magistrate of tbe county of Tipperary , was barbarously murdered near to his own residence , at Kiilfeacle . The murderer eluded the vigilance of tin police , notwithstanding that a reward of £ 20 Q had been offered for his apprehension . On Tuesday ni g ht he was given into the custody of the police , through the instrumentality of his wife , whom he had deserted . The alleged . murderer ' s name is Andrew Coffee , and he has been residing in one of the streets off Christian-street ever since the murder . He was taken . before Mr . Rushton on Wednesday , and ordered tobe sent to Ireland . ' v The following appeared in our late editions oflast week i—

George-the-Martyr , Southwark , stated that on receiving information he proceeded to the house of the prisoners , No . 6 , Embden-court , Pearl-row , Blackfriars , where he found two children , one a little boy , about eight years of age , and the other a girl , of five years of age , in a most miserable condition , The house was without scarcely a particle of fnrnitore , and the two children nearly naked and starved . The body of one of them , the little girl , had sores on different places , and to show the utter

      neglect with which both tbe children were treated , the few rags they had on them were covered with vermin—a more distressing sight could scarcely be conceived . He made some inquiries on the spot , and ascertained that the male prisoner was in the employ of a hop factor in the Borough , and received wages amply sufficient to support his family in comfort . He ( Mr . Endean ) also was informed that the female was an habitual drunkard , neglected her family , the children often being seen in the streets at a late hour of the night , when their parents were absent from home , fearful of entering the dwelling , owing to its being infested with rats and other disgusting vermin . —The prisoners were remanded ; and it appears that Foster contrived to commit suicide on Friday morning in the county gaol .

      Bow-Street.—As Irish Row.—J. M'Carthy, A...

      BOW-STREET . —As Irish Row . —J . M'Carthy , aged 19 , and Mary Ann Donovan , a widow ( both of them Irish ) , were charged with assaulting Ellen ' Homer . All the parties lived in St . Giles ' s , and on Saturday last the prosecutrix accompanied a female to Donovan ' s lodgings in New-street , for the purpose of making some complaint to Donovan respecting the ill-usage of the woman ' s sister , who was in the service of Donovan . The complainant waited outside the room-door while her friend went inside . M * Carthy was also there , and a quarrel ensued , and Donovan struck the woman with a cup . He rushed out to Homer , followed by the prisoner . They struck Homer , knocked her " down on the

      stairs , and kicked her most violently . The prisoner M'Carthy extinguished the li ght , and called out for his knife . He then struck Homer upon the head with some instrument , which cut her head most severely . The prisoners then again kicked her until her screams brought the assistance of several police constables , who found Homer upon the ground senseless , and bleeding profusely from the wounds in her head . They removed her to the hospital , and the prisoners were apprehended . —The prisoners denied kicking Homer ; and M'Carthy said the woman called him by an opprobrious epithet , and he then struck her . He did not cut her head . She fell down stairs in consequence of being drunk . —The constables said the prosecutrix and her witness were perfectly sober . —Mr . Hall fined tbe male prisoner the full penalty of £ 5 , or two months' imprisonment : and the female he ordered

      to pay 40 s ., or fourteen days' imprisonment . —Both prisoners were locked up in default . As Old Trick Revived . —P . Falday , aged 13 , and J . Crawley , aged lo , were charged with begging . —A constable said the prisoners were confirmed beggars . They were in the habit of carrying lucifers , which they would at times thrown down and commence crying at their stock in trade being destroyed . Yery often persons took compassion on them and gave them money . On Monday night they were following their old game , and the constable took them into custody . —Inspector Dodd said the prisoners were allowed by the shopkeepers in Clare-market to stand opposite their doors and sell lucifer matches .- They seldom did so , but wandered into crowded thoroughfares , and followed the more profitable business of begging , —Mr . Jardine sentenced the prisoners to be imprisoned for fourteen days each .

      Thbeatbnisg the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas . —T . Bates , for seven years under butlerat the hall in the Middle Temple , was charged with threatening the life of Sir John Jervis . The prisoner was of slender build , of decidedly nervous temperament , in appearance extremely harassed , and wore a shabby suit of black . —His lordship deposed , that in 1847 he was treasurer of the Middle Temple Hall . The prisoner at that time was hall or under butler . In April of that year , witness , with the concurrence of the benchers , dismissed the prisoner for alh-ged drunkenness . Since that time prisoner had sent numerous communications to him and he had unfortunately destroyed them all with the exception of two letters . His lordship then

      handed Mr . Burnaby , the chief clerk , a letter , in which tbe prisoner had threatened the life of Sir John . His lordship added , that the prisoner had written similar letters to his wife , Lord John Russell , and several other members of parliament . — Mi " . Burnaby read the letter , which charged Sir John Jervis with depriving him ( the prisoner ) of his place , and threatened him with serious injury . He ( the prisoner ) would let the world know what sort of wretches the people had to expect in their judges , and he was prepared to act , if the Lord Chief Justice did not afford him redress in the matter of his alleged wrong . He w ould punish him by a law of his own , if he suffered strangulation for it at the Old Bailey ; and his sons would in his

      stead punish l is enemy , whom he described as a " wretch , " "viper , " " snake in the grass , " & c—This letter , the Lord Chief Justice believed to be in the handwriting of the prisoner , which he had had many opportunities of seeing when he was under-butler to the Benchers of the Middle Temple . —After tho rend ing of the letter , Mr . Henry asked his lordship it ho went in bodilv fear of receiving some injury from the prisoner—His lordship replied in the affirmative . ^ -The Lord Chief Justice said that he would give the accused every explanation in his power , as he was anxious to show he laboured under a great mistake with regard to him . —The prisoner , at much length , questioned the Lord Chief Justice as to his right to

      dismiss him from office , and as to such dismissal never having been officially ov formally communicated to bim ; aa to the act of the under treasurer in dismissing him by a message through a subordinate being sufficient ; and said that he ( the prisoner ) had been in the Temple before Sir John Jervis , whom he charged with having removed him from his place to make room for nprotege of his own . —His lordship said that he had the power to discharge any servant . The prisoner was frequently , intoxicated when he was on duty intheball . " "' * It ; was bis duty to say grace , and bis lordship had noticed that he was drunk when he was repeatingthe words . The benchers had also noticed it ^ arid withessUhereforc discharged him . —Prisoner : I was ill , and had only

      been out of bed an hour , when I made the mistake which led to my discharge . Atthe grace I subst tuted beauteous instead of " bounteous . " At the thanksgiving my memory , failed me , and I stopped short before its completion . —The Lord Chief Justice : You were frequently too drunk to say grace . — The prisoner denied thathewasadrunkard . He then produced a letter , which hesaidbehad received from a gentleman of such hi gh rank that he did not like to make it public , but would show it to the bench and Sir John Jervis , as provins the injury the latter had done him by preventing him from getting a place . —The Lord Chief Justice said , that looking at tho signature , he had no acquaintance with the writer , whom he only knew to be connected with dignitaries of the church , and that he never had any conversation with him . He did not think that the letter showed anything of the injury which the prisoner attributed to him as having caused —Mr .

      Henry said the letter was not material . —The Prisoner : Cannot you remand the case ? Mr . Henry : I think all this matter is immaterial . Whatever complaints you have to make , you had no right to send such threatening letters . —The Prisoner : I might have taken a different course , it is true , but I wished Sir John to do me justice as a man . The prisoner here said , that he was suffering so much from illness , that he was not in a condition to put his questions as he could wish . After a pause he added—It may not be out of place for me to admit that the letter was written by me . The prisoner then entered into a long statement , but was obviously not in the most complete state of seltpossession . His remarks were merely a recapitulation of what he had formerly urged . —Mr , Henry ordered the prisoner to find two good sureties in £ 50 each , and himself in £ 100 , to keep the peace . Ho should require twenty-four hours' notice of the bail . —The prisoner was then locked up .

      MARYLEBONE . —Brutal Outbade . —John Corbould , a labourer , was charged with the following most brutal assaults : —On Saturday night last , between ten and eleven o ' clock , tbe prisoner went into the house of Mr . Hanstock , the Three Tuns , Portman-mews , and took his seat in the parlour . He bad been desired upon many occasions not to enter the house again , in consequence of , the noise and disturbance which be constantly caused , and on the landlord laying hold of him to put him out , the prisoner threw him instantly upon his back across the table , at the same time laying hold of one of his fingers , and putting it between his teeth .

      Witness cried out loudly from the pain which he endured . A policeman speedily came into tbe premises , when he found the prisoner and the landlord lying across the table as had been described . He laid hold of prisoner and pulled him off , when lie ( prisoner ) , upon exclaiming , "Now I'll do for you , " threw him with such violence to the floor that his shoulder was dislocated . He was conveyed to Middlesex Hospital , and in all probability many weeks would elapse before he was able to resume his duty . In neither of the cases was there any surgeon ' s certificate produced , and the prisoner was remanded for a week .

      A Gunpowder Plot . —John Wm . Hamilton , 26 , waa charged with causing wilful damage to the amount of £ 300 , to the house of Mr . Daniel Millbank , 10 , Cumberland-place , New-road , hy the explosion of gunpowder . Owing to a suspicion that the prisoner had intended to accomplish the death of his mother by the act , the court was crowded to excess . Lord Montfort , and several other gentlemen , were on the bench . —Daniel Milbank , on being sworn , said : The prisoner is the son of a lodger of mine , a widow , who rents my two parlours . I have frequently complained of his coming to tho house , as I did not approve of his behaviour , and I did not think his mother felt safe . On Monday night , about eight o ' clock , as I was employed upon some mosaic work in the front kitchen , I heard a loud explosion , and at the same time a portion of the ceiling fell upon my head ; the lathing

      also fell in , and if I had not got away very quickly , I might have been seriously injured , if not killed . I beard a moaning and groaning . I found that the front and back parlour doors were blown off the hinges . The sashes of the back parlour window were blown out , as also a portion of the brick-work The drawing-room floor was destroyed , and the sash in the back kitchen was shattered to pieces . The shutters in the front parlour were by tho explosion sent fourteen or fifteen yards across the New-road , and even up to the attics damage was done . I calculate that my loss cannot be short of £ 300 by the explosion . 1 was completely stunned , and the tool with which I was working was shook out of my hand . Mrs . Hamilton , the prisoner ' s mother , was in bed in the front parlour , and I saw the pillow-case and coverlid burning , but not . in flames ; The place was full of smoke , and I clasped my arms round Mw . ' Hamiltoa ' s vr & iat to get uev

      out if possible , but being nearly suffocated , I was compelled to return without accomplishing my object , I made another effort to release her , and I at last conveyed her to-the house adjoining , where she was carefully attended to by Mr . Norton , a surgeon in Upper Baker-street . —Mr . Brougbton : In what circumstances is she?—Witness : She is a widow lady of independent property . —Mr . Broughton : Are you aware of any threats having been made by the prisoner with respect to his mother?—Witness : Yes . On Monday he was abusing her all the afternoon . I do not know whether he was in the house at the moment of explosion , but I saw him a quarter of an hour before .

He suddenly turned upon . witness , and knocked him headlong down the steps , and before he could recover himself the prisoner kicked

He was , however , found concealed under the arches of the bridge , and taken into custody . — Alfred Aylett , a police constable of the M division , said that four years ago he was sentenced to two months for breaking into a stable .

      Picking Pockets at a Railway Tebminus . — J . Baker and J .

      the lady , and that he should point thern out to a constable as soon as he saw one . They threatened to give him a beating if he did , and at that moment a constable came up and secured them . There was such a crowd of persons coming from the railway that he was unable to reach the lady , and he had not seen her since . —A police constable of the M division said he took the prisoners into custody , when he found the purse and contents on Shea . The prisoners , who had previously been convicted , belonged to a gang of pickpockets . —The magistrate committed them both for trial .

      LAMBETH . —The Penalty op Careless Buying . —Daniel Partridge , a marine store dealer in the vicinity of Lambeth-walk , was remanded on a charge of purchasing from a lad named Harvey , a quantity of property , which the latter had stolen from his father , at such a price that he must have known it had been stolen . —Mr , Solomons , on the part of the accused , applied for his being admitted to bail , but the magistrate refused the application . The Charge op Bill Swindling against " Captain" Routi . edgb . —Monday was the day appointed for the further examination of Fred . Wm . Routlfldge . but in his stead a medical certificate was produced from the suvgoon of Horsemonger-lane Gaol , stating that Routledge was lying dangerously ill in

      the prison hospital . —Mr . Robinson informed the magistrate that since the last examination of the prisoner , Sergeant Quinnear and Constable Melville had traced tbe whole of the notes sent by Mr . Johnson , of St . Helen ' s Lancashire , to the prisoner , on the 7 th of December last , to take up a bill for £ 213 16 s ., and due on that day , to Routledge ' s possesion , and this testimoney , together with the production of the bill itself , would complete the evidence in the case of Mr . Johnson . He ( Mr . Robinson ) would be also prepared on a future day to show that the acceptance to two bills of exchange , and which had been sent by Routledge to a tradesman at Macclesfield , were forgeries , and this , in his ( Mr . Robinson ' s ) opinion , would be a clear case of

      forgery . —A small ledger found in a secret drawer at the prisoner ' s residence , and in which the prisoner kept a minute account of his daily , monthly , and annual transactions , was produced to the magistrates . Among the prisoner ' s accounts were found those ofa fashionable West-end tailor , from which it appeared that in 1836 he paid £ 30 for a suit of uniform worn by him on the occasion of his being presented at court to the late King William the Fourth , and where he was presented as Captain Routledge , of tho Somersetshire Militia . In the ledger containing the accounts there was found an engraving , which appeared to have been cut from some newspaper , of the prisoner , in full uniform , and as he appeared at court . —Mr . Norton

      inquired if the solicitors of the Bankers' Association were coming forward to lend tbeir aid in tho prosecution , which would be one of some dim " culty , and requiring the aid of a practised lawyer . — Mr . Robinson replied that Messrs . Bush and Mullins were merely solicitors to the London Bankers ' Association , and as no attempt had been made to defraud the London bankers , and as it could not effect the bankers in the metropolis in any way to have bills of exchange made payable at their houses even by swindlers , those gentlemen would not give any directions to the solicitors to the association to interfere in any way in tho matter . Mr . Robinson added that , in reply to some communications which had been made to persons , who , from letters found

      amongst the prisoner s papers , had had transactions with Routledge , he received answers from attornies threatening actions , and all ' sorts of pains and penalties , - if he dare disclose the names of their client as connected in any way with the prisoner or his transactions . —Mr . Norton remarked that he did not think that he ( Mr . Robinson ) , had much to fear from such threats , and prolonged the further examination of tho prisoner to a future day . — In the course of the day Mr . Games , as the prisoner ' s solicitor , applied to Mr . Norton for an order to the officer Melville , to give him a few pounds more out of the seventy-six sovereigns found in the prisoner ' s drawers , and which appeared to be all the ready money he possessed at

      the time of his apprehension . Mr . Games said that out of the £ 5 his lordship was so kind to order him atMofirst examination he had given upwards of £ 3 to his client , and as the prisoner was at present in a dangerous state of illness , and required necessaries beyond the jail allowance , he hoped his worship would order him ( Mr . Gamss ) , a few pounds more . — -Mr . Norton , under the peculiar circumstances , ordered the officer to hand three sovereigns more to the prisoner ' s solicitor , which Melville at once complied with , and handed Mr . Games the three sovereigns . On Wednesday morning , shortly after eight o ' clock , Frederick William Routledge , alias Captain Routledge , expired in the county gaol , Horsemonger-lane , after a severe and painful illness . The deceased had been in the infirmary for some , time past . On Tuesday evening feeling

      worse Routledge sent for Mr . Games , his solicitor , to make his will , but that gentleman being from home at the time , his clerk waited on the deceased , and received his instructions relative to his will , and it was arranged that Mr . Games should wait on the deceased at nine on the following morning to execute the deed . At ei ght o ' clock , however , he received a message to the effect that his client was dying , and though he hastened to the gaol he found on reaching it is client had just breathed his last , and having cheated some thousands in bis life time , had now cheated the law , - as he stood fully committed to take his trial on a charge of defrauding Mr . Johnson of £ 213 16 s . From the instructions giyen for his will it appeared to be the wish Of the deceased- that his property should be possed by his son Arnold Routlodge , who he believes to bo at the Cape of Good Hope .

      WESTMINSTER-An Unfortuna te Gbntleman . —In the case of Captain Nestor , of the " 19 th Foot , whom a medical military board has judged to be of unsound mind , and was brought to this court on a charge of stealing a watch , the magistrate received a letter from the War-office , offering to send a non-commissioned officer'to take charge of him , and convey him to ; he Military Lunatic Asylum at larmouth . —Mr . Broderip said he would comply with this request , ' considering that as C .-iptain Nestor was not a responsible agent justice would be satisfied thereby . —The captain was then given into the custody of a sergeant of . the Coldstream Guards , who was in attendance , to convey him to Yarmouth ; but in a lew minutes Miss Nestor , his daughter , and tho sergeant , who had left tbe captain in charge of another non-commissioned officer , entered the court , apd informed the , magistrate

      Bow-Street.—As Irish Row.—J. M'Carthy, A...

      that as the unfortunate gentleman was about to step into a cab , which had beeii sent for to convoy him to the Eastern Counties Railway , a sheriffa officer and his assistant pounced upon him , and arrested him for a debt of £ 34 . On the one hand the sheriff's officer had threatened to bring an action against the sergeant if he took tho captain out of his hands ; and on the other , if he ( the sergeant ) parted with the custod y of his prisoner , he was liable to be tried by court martial for disobedience of orders . The sergeant therefore asked the ma . gistrato how lie was to act in this matter . —Mr " Broderip observed that he had no longer any dowpJ

      in the matter , and could give no directions . Tho sergeant was certainly placed in a most awkward position , but he could hot assist bim . —The parties then retired , when , after some delay , in tho coursa of which neither party exhibited the least inclination to part with possession of the captain , it was mutually agreed , without prejudice to their rival claims , that both parties should accompany the prisoner to the War-office , and take the opinion of the authorities there , whither they repaired . In tho course of the afternoon it was communicated to tha magistrate , that the military had given Capt . Jfestor over to the civil power , who had safely lodged hint in Wliitecross-street prison .

      GUILDHALL . - Serving a Writ . —Mr . Day , of 113 . London-wall , appeared in answer to a summons charging him with an assault upon Joseph James Powell , clerk to Messrs . Wilson and Rand , attorneys . —Complainant stated that he ha . l called at defendant ' s house very frequently , and in repl y to all his inquiries , he received the answer of *• not at home . " ¦ On the 23 rd of the present month cora « plainant received instructions from his employ ers to serve a writ on defendant , and he accordingl y proceeded to his house in London-wall for that " purpose . The boy said the defendant was not at home . Complainant desired him to go up staira and see . The lad went up , followed by complainant , to the drawing room door , which he opened , and

      complainant , without waiting for an invitation , walked in , and on seeing defendant handed him tho copy of . the writ . Defendant road it carefull y through , 'laid it down , and then rose from the tablo and collared complainant , and shook him very violently five or six times . He then throw complainant down , and held him there for about five or ten minutes , frequently in the mtei-imshakiiia'his fist in complainant ' s face and threatening to strike him . He then seized hold of his head , which he knocked several times ' on the floor , in a brutal manner . — Cross-examined by defendant : Complainant said defendant did not strike him . Complainant did not open any door to get at him . He was not told to leave the room . He did not tell defendant that ho had better put him out . Defendant said he would tench complainant to come into his rooms , but not that it was like his impudence to do so . —Defendant

      denied the charge altogether , and further alleged that complainant was drunk at the time , and refused to quit the premises , daring the defendant to strike him , or he would make him pay for it . —Complainant ' s employers were in court , and able to contradict thatpartof thedefencestating he was drunk . The Alderman said it was quite clear that an assault had been committed , by defendant , ofa very aggravated nature , as complainant was only executing a duty imposed on him by his masters . Taking into consideration the chagrin defendan t must have experienced on being served with a writ , he would fine him in the mitigated penalty of £ 3 and costs , or , in default , to be committed to prison for one month . —The money was then paid into court , tho defendant expressing at the same time his intention of appealing . He was , however , informed there was no appeal from the decision of the magistrate of this court .

      Obtaiskvo Goods . —Henry Arnold Green , but who rejoices in several aliases , was again brought up and placed at the bar charged with obtaining goods under false and fraudulent pretences . The prisoner had been tried and convicted in the yeac 1848 , at the Central Criminal Court for a like offence , upon which occasion he was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour . Upon tbe present occasion there were no less than three distinct charges against him . The depositions having been formally completed , the prisoner , who had nothing particular to say , was committed for trial .
