The Case Of Thomas Jones, The Last Op Th...
THE CASE OF THOMAS JONES , THE LAST OP THE CHARTIST VICTIMS On the 17 th of September last Thomas Jones ' s sentence of two years' imprisonment expired ; on . that day the required sureties for his good behaviour for five years were in attendance , at the Westminster Police-court , but , on the friends who then assembled app lying ta Tothill Fields Prison for his release , they
-were informed by the authorities that , in addition to the above sentence , he had to pay a fine of £ 10 to the Crown , and be further imprisoned until such fine be paid . A committee -was forthwith formed to raise the amount , and thereby effect his l iberation ; and they resolved to make a fall inquiry into the cause , or causes whv in his case , the fine was demanded , when , in all the others , such fines had been remitted . _ . .
( jn visaing Thomas Jones in prison , the Committee learned that he had been most brutally and cruelly treated . Not being sentenced to hard labour , he had refused to . work for the benefit of the p rison authorities , and being aboot-malcer he "was determined that his labour should not compete with his fellowmen in the labour market . That as his late employer had agreed to send him work into the prison , he had appealed to the Visiting Justices to be allowed to do it , at the same time proposing to pay five shillings per week for his
keep , and that what remained of Ins earnings should be devoted to the support of his family . This most just and reasonable proposition the Magistrates positively refused their assent to , and being of an unyielding temperament , he refused to subject himself to the prison ruleswas deemed refractory—and , in consequence , had suffered much cruelty and privation . He had been many times locked up in the black hole , on bread andVwater , and , during the last five weeks of his sentence , had been so confined for six days out of every seven .
The Committee oh learning . these facts considered that a great principle was involved in this case ; they , therefore , resolved to exert their utmost energies to represent the same to the government . Accordingly , a deputation waited on William Williams , Esq ., M . P ., for the purpose of soliciting that gentleman to use his influence with Sir George Grey to get the £ ne remitted '; but on attending at his residence the deputation found that Mr . Williams was out of town . A full statement of the case
- was , however , forwarded to Mr . Williams , and the result was , that Mr . Williams , on his return to London , took such interest therein that he immediately visited poor Jones in the House of Correction , Westminster , and also on the same day commenced the following correspondence with Sir George Grey on the subject : — Park-square , Step'tember . 28 , 1850 . Sir , —I beg to lay before you the rase of Thomas Jones , one of the Chartist Prisoners , whose term of imprisonment has expired . In addition to imprisonment he was sentenced to pay a fine of £ 10 , and to find sureties for good behaviour . Responsible persons are , I am informed , ready to become his sureties ; ¦ 1 » rt ; he has no means whatever to pay the . £ 10 , or any portion of it , being quite destitute , and he is
now detained m prison from his inability to pay that sum ; which- —small as it may appear—is an excessive fine imposed upon a poor penniless working man , and , if enforced , must inevitably subject him to imprisonment for life , which , doubtless , could not have been the intention of the Judge who passed the sentence upon him . He has been subjected to much suffering for infringement of the prison rules , The irregularity of hfs conduct has , in my opinion , been the consequence of impaired intellect , to which you will no doubt remember I called your attention when I was one of the visiting Magistrates of the "Westminster House of Correction , where he was confined . As he is the last Chartist Prisoner , and is now incarcerated for being too poor to pay £ 10 to the Crown , I cannot doubt hut you will deem this a proper case to be recommended to the Queen's benevolent consideration .
I have the honour to be * Sir , Tonr most obedient servant , ' " William "Williams . The Rt . Hon . Sir G . Grey , Bart . M . P . "Park-square , October 14 , 1850 . Sir , —I had the honour of writing to you , on the 23 th of September /' -on'the subject of the detention in prison of Thomas Jones , after , the expiration of the term of his imprisonment , for want of means to pay a fine of £ 10 to the Crown . 2 Tot having received a reply , I presume my letter has escaped your notice . I have the honour to be , Sir . Your most obedient Servant , ^ William Williams . The Bt . Hon . Sir G . Grey , Bart . M . P . October 15 . 1850 .
Dear Sib , —I have directed an inquiry into the recent conduct of Thomas Jones , in order to enable me to judge how far I shall he justified in ordering Bis discharge . It was solely owing to the unfavourable report of his conduct some time since , that he was not discharged' at the same time with some others convicted at the same time of the same offence , and the term of whose sentences was considerably shortened . Tours faithfully , * W . Williams , Esq . M . P . George Gret . Park-square , October 22 , 1850 . Sib , —I have had the honour of receiving your letter of the 15 th inst ., on the subject of the detention of Thomas Jones in prison . I shall feel obliged by your informing me of your determination respecting him . He was removed from the Westminster
House of Correction to the House of Detention , Clerkenwell , on the 30 th of September , where he has since been confined with persons imprisoned for want of bail . As one of the Visiting Justices ofthat Prison I beg to state , that the officers' reports of his conduct have been unexceptionable , and his mind seems muchmorecomposed . Having sufficient hail ready , he is now imprisoned for inability to pay a . fine of £ 10 to the Crown ; I therefore respectfully submit to your consideration , whether it be just to put the County of Middlesex to the expense of maintaining him in prison , as a debtor to the Crown . I have the he sour to be , Sir , Tour n oit obedient Servant , William Williams The Rt . Hon . Sir G . Grey , Bart . M . P .
-Whitehall , October 25 , 1850 . Sifi , —I am directed by the Secretary , Sir George Grey , to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 22 nd inst ., relative to the case of Thomas Jones , a prisoner in the House of Detention , at Clerkenwell , and I am to acquaint yon , that should this person's conduct be favourably reported on by the " visiting Justices of the Honse of Detention , Sir George Grey will be prepared to give a favourable consideration to his ease . But he regrets to say , that the last report of his conduct , up to the period of his removal from the House of Correction at Westminster , on the 30 th of last month , was of a nature which precluded any mitigation of his sentence , lam , Sir , - - Your obedient Servant , - : ; - - H . WAnnisoiox . Wm . Williams , Esq . M . P .
The above official document , although dated the 25 th , was not delivered at the residence of Mr . Williams until ten o ' clock in the evening of the 26 th , as the following note , addressed to the Secretary of the Committee , will testify : — Park-square , 27 th October . Sin , —I received a letter late last night from the Home Office , which I wish you to see before eleven o ' clock to-morrow morning . Tours very respectfully , Mr . John Arnott . Wm . Williams . On the following morning the Secretary , as requested , waited on Mr . Williams , and the arrangement agreed on was that Mr . Williams would make one more effort relative to this case ; and the Secretary on attending at the residence of Mr . Williams on the 29 th , was
informed by that worthy gentleman , that the application had been ineffectual ; he , therefore , advised that as the funds to pay the fine had been in hand for several weeks , that the same ie paid without delay , and the poor fellow liberated . On the 30 th the above advice was complied with . The fine of £ 10 , raised principally from the hard-earned ponce of the toiling classes , was paid to the government , the required sureofand Thomas
ties were approved , Jones was released from the brutal treatment he has unjustly suffered under Whig tyranny . Th ° Committee , in conclusion , beg to tender their sincere and grateful thanks to Mr . G W MEeynolds for his kindness m offering ti ' advance the amount of the fine , and thereby effect the immediate liberation of Thomas -Jones -to Mr . ; Ernest Jones , for his noble and gaaerouBlhearted conduct in appealing to the

LATEST FOREIGN ; SEWS . ' ' _ BERLIN . —Dates from Nuremberg of the 4 th , state that on the previous day 2 , 400 Austnans , under General Zobel , arrived , and continued their way towards Bamburgh . Three more divisions were expected on the following day , so that within the week 15 , 000 men with 1 , 700 horses have passed through . . According to letters from Cassel of the 4 th , the old General Haynau had received his dismissal , and would retire- from public life . Nov . 6 . —Tho Duke of Brandenburg , Prime Minister , died this morning at twenty-four minutes past eight o'clock . VIENNA , Nov . 2 . —The Oesterreichischen Correspondenz ( ministerial paper ) threatens Prussia with war in a most insulting article . The funds have again fallen , and the price of gold and ; silver risen . Gold , is at 28 per cent , premium . The public are daily becoming more . warlike . .
Ssnions . AccinKNT on the London Aim north Western Railway . —Birmingham , Thursday . —An accident of a most serious nature occurred between three and four o ' clock this morning , on the London and North Western Railway , about three-quarters of a mile from their station in this town . At the point where the accident occurred the public road is spanned by a largo central arch , and on " either side are lesser arches , some of which are mounded up and filled with rubbish . It appears that as the three o ' clock a . m . goods traia to London was passing over , an explosion of a most violent character took place . The engine and tender were thrown .
with great violence from the rails ; the engine driver and ' stoker were hurled over many ; yards below the crowaof the viaduct , which was shivered almost to atoms . ; No noise whatever was heard ; and up to the present time the accident in hot accounted for beyond the supposition , that the gas pipes which intersect the arches of the viaduct had become leaky—that a large quantity of gas had in consequence become deposited in all the interstices of the brickwork and rubbish beneath , and that a cinder from the firework , as the engine passed on to the viaduct , caused the explosion . The stoker was very seriously injured , but the engine driver escaped with less injury .
The Plate Robberies . —Mr . Sirrell appeared before Alderman Gibbs , at the Mansion-house , on Thursday , for final examination upon the charges of having received stolen articles of plate , with the knowledge that they had . been stolen , the particulars of which will be found in our seventh page . No additional evidence was produced , and the prisoner was discharged . Extensive Posi-Opfice Robberies at Leeds — On Thursday afternoon , a young man named John Warren , the son of a stuff-weaver at Leeds , was brought before the Mayor and P . Carburf , Esq ., on a charge of having purloined from tho Leeds Postoffice letters containing sums of money to a very serious amount . Ho was arrested that morning at bis -father ' s house , and on his person were found Bank of England notes and gold of the value of no less than # 742 . After the examination of several witnesses it was determined to adjourn the further hearing till Monday next .
Charge of Rape against a Clergyman . —Brentwood , Thursday . —Tha charge of felonious assault brought against the Rev . Mr . Johnstone by the girl Ann Doe was again brought before the magistrates this morning . The particulars of this case will bo found in our seventh page . Superintendent Coulson had not succeeded in discovering the girl , Ann Doe , and the case was remanded for a week . Mr . Johnstone was a very popular preacher in this neighbourhood , and has taken rather an active part lately in reforming some abuses connected with a foundation school in the town . At Chelmsford , only three weeks since , he preached a charity sermon , Which made a great sensation , and netted a large sum . The Lord Bishop of Rochester , in
whose diocese Ingrave is situated , has been made acqu . iinted _ with the circumstances , and has signified his intention of proceeding ecclesiastically against the accused . The New Pooh Law . —The guardians of Rochdale having attempted to introduce various clauses of this bill , in opposition to the wish of the ratepayers , a meeting was called on the 3 rd inst ., when it was resolved : — " That a public meeting of the rate-payers should be held in the Chartist Room , and an invitation be sent to the gnardians , requesting their attendance . The following persons were appointed a committee : —G . Taylor , J . Taylor , J . Seowcroft , W . Bake , and J . Kenworthy .
The following appeared in our third edition of last week : — ROBBEBT AT THE WEST BUBBBY BASK AT EPSOM , ahd Apprehension of two of the Burglars . — This bank was broken into about two o ' clock on Friday morning . The robbers were disturbed by Mr . Holland , who resides in the next house , and taking with them 12 s . 6 d . in money , a great coat , and some silver spoons . Two men , named Roberts and Dowe , were apprehended soon after , and property found on them , which has been identified . The Fbiulbt Murder . —The four prisoners were further examined on Friday morning . Charles Weston , in the employ of Mr . John Pannell , grocer , of Quarry-street , Guildford ^ , swore that Jones , a
day or two before tho murder , came into his master ' s shop for a pennyworth of gunpowder , which witness served him with . Levi Bar wood , Jones , and Smith were committed for the murder and burglary , Samuel Harwood will he brought up again on Wednesday next . The Poisoning Case near Abbrtstwith . —Attempt to Murder the principal Witness . —It will be remembered that among the persons whose tes . timony bore most strongly against the accused person , Mrs . Elizabeth Jones , was a man named John Jones , who stated , that at the request of the- accused , he went to the shop Of Mr . Humphries , a druggist , residing at Aberystwitb , and purchased for her some arsenic . This witness , therefore , is the most material of all , and on Monday evening a daring attempt was made to murder him . He was on the road , near to the old abbey of
Ponteshydfenagaed , when he was attacked by three powertui men , who made a most deperate attempt upon his life . They werearmed with knives , with which they tried to cat his throat , and but for the obstinacy of his struggles would have no doubt succeeded . Fortunately the violent resistance which he offered caused the knife to ho diverted from the direction in which it was used , and instead of cutting his throat it deeply wounded his chin , passed across his mouth , and divided his cheek on the opposite , side . He grew very faint from loss of blood , but after his assailants had left him he contrived to crawl into the abbey , when he found that his legs were likewise cut . He is suffering so severely that he was unable to be taken before the magistracy , and the police are still investigating the poisoning case , and it is hoped that punishment will yet be brought home to the guilty party .
Extensive Plunder of Masonic Lodges . — © Kins was brought up at Marlborough police-court * on Friday , charged with having robbed several masonic lodges of the insignia and jewels . It was stated that five or six lodges had been recently plundered , and that property in . value not under £ 509 had been stolen in this way . The prisoner confessed his guilt , and gave the officer several duplicates of the articles' stolen ; The prisoner was stated to have filled the office of tyler . in other lodges , which had also been robbed .
The Papal Hierarchy-^ England." The Bish...
THE PAPAL HIERARCHY- ^ ENGLAND . " THE BISHOP OF LONDON'S VISITATION . On Saturday morning the Bishop of London commenced his Visitation at S £ Paul ' s Cathedral ; The charge may be described as consisting of two parts—the former occupied " with the baptismal controversy , and the latter chiefly with the Romanist movements . The former is briefly characterised by the Guardian as " a review , of the judgment in Mr . Gorham ' s case , involving a > searching inquiry into its merits . " " With respect to the judgment itself , and the question involved in it , the Bishop of London , unlike the Bishop of Exeter , in his famous
dissection of the question , ' has directed himself principally to the vindication of the'Catholic truth unhappily called in question by it , and the exposure Of Mr . Gorham's departure therefrom and has only secondarily , and by way of deduction , noticed the inaccuracy and unsoundness of the document with which he has to deal . In a word , his lordship has pointed out clearly that whit the Judicial Committee state to be Mr . Gorham ' s doctrines' for the purpose of absolving them , ' are very far short . of what really appears in Mr . Gbrham ' s book . ' But , if this he so , the judgment does not legalise Mr . Gorham s tenets at all , but only as much of them as itself recitesi Leaving the judgment , and- proceeding to Mr . Gorham , the Bishop takes occasion
to enter upon an examination of the Whole question of the efficacy and meaning of baptism ., On the " Romish aggression , ^ the Bishop only reiterates the opinion and advice he has given on the ; addresses presented to him . As to " innovations in the service of the Church , " he repeats the language he held eight years ago , and regrets it was not more effectual in checking them among his clergy . He warns them , also , against 1 tendencies in an op posite direction- 'thatof latidunarianism , or German heresy ; " a sea without a shore , and with no polestar to guide those who embark on it but the uncertain light of human' reason . " From this more danger is apprehended than from Rome . ! The concluding topics-of the ' charge arc-rthe
increase of exertions ; One of the best notes dnv . tr . ue Church—the question of Protestant 'sisterhoods ' - * national education—and the opportunity offered by the expected congress of all nations for " 1851 , for the circulation of the Scriptures ' " among the strangersin their own tongue , and for the due provision of the mean ' s of vrorship-for the m 6 " tty'ihr 6 ng ; The Bishop concluded with the following peroration : —The most , likely method of healing ; the wounds inflicted upon ' the Church by our intestine divisions—of softening that asperity Of . feeling which reli g ious controversy is so apt to engenderand of bringing us by degrees to a common understanding upon questions of vital importance—ia for
every one of us , in his proper sphere of action , honestly to fulfil the duty laid by the Church upon all her ministers . Icahnot but think , that if every clergyman were to direct all his energies and endeavoui's to the task of feeding the Lord ' s family with the wholesome -food provided for them in the Bible and the Church , to the instruction bf' the ignorant and the conversion of the sinful with earnest prayer—the study of God ' s word , and ' a devout and punctual observance of the Church ' s rule , confining his efforts , except in special cases , to tho field bf labour which has been assigned to him , he would do more to trajJquilise arid strengthen the Church than he could' effect by stepping but of his allotted station to enlist himself in the ranks of
angry polemics , under others banners than those of the Church herself , unfolded by the authorised standard-bearers . ¦¦¦ ¦ ¦ :
The Parishioners Of St, Dunstan S, Fleet...
The parishioners of St , Dunstan s , Fleet-street , met on Wednesday in the inquest-room adjoining the church , to consider the recent , conduct of the Pope , and to adopt , an address to her Majesty . Resolutions and addresses were unanimously adopted . . ... Coventry , Nov . 2—A meeting of the clergy in the archdeaconry of Coventry and diocese of Worcester , has been held here to-day , in consequence of a requisition presented to Archdeacon Spooner , the object of the meeting being , to deliberate on the steps to be taken , in consequence of the intrusion into the diocese of a Roman . Catholic Bishop of Birmingham . Between three and four hundred of the clergy , assembled ; in fact , the large room at
the King ' s Head was completely filled , and throughout the entire proceedings the excitement evinced was of a most extraordinary character , having in view the . character of the assembly . The Rev . Mr . Sandford , of Dunchurch , the rural dean , pret sided . The Rev . chairman having alluded to " gunpowder plot" and massacres in Ireland , said , but it was reserved for the 19 th century the fullblown pretensions of papacy—and for .-Pius : the Ninth to seek to propagate on British soil the . error . s and superstitions of his faith ; a prelate with all the audacity of a Hildebrand and a Thomas A'Beckett , without either their courage or their ability .

( Excitement . ) Now , then , was the time for true proles ? tantsto nail their colours to the mast .-. ( Hear . ) There must be no more trafficking with Rome , no more inhaling from tbe cup of her witcheries , and her fornications , but the Union Jack of protestantism must be unfurled ; that fla ^ which had braved so many battles , the spirit which animated the reformers of old must again be seen abroad in the land ; and with trumpet tongue must be proclaimed the everlasting gospel of Christ . At this stage of the proceedings , the Rev . Mr . Crage . of
Leamington suggested that the meeting should have commenced the prayer . —The Rev . Chairman said that the omission had been an inadvertence , and prayers were immediately offered . . The memorial to the Queen was adopted , thereafter the Rev . Mr , Cook , of this city , seconded by ' the Rev . Dr . Marsh , of Leamington , moved an address to . the bishop of the diocese ( Worcester , ) soliciting his lordship ' s aid to stay the catholic invasion . A somewhat stormy discussion followed on the word " catholic . "—Dr , Marsh of Leamington suggested thatFoxe ' s " Book of Martyrs" should be sold to the people at a cheap ate .
The Popish Us urpatiom . —On Wednesday a vestry of the united parishes of St . Olave Jewry and St . Martin Pomeray was held in the vestry-room of the church , Jewry-street . The Rev . Dr . Roxby , the rector , presided . Resolutions strongly condemnatory of therecent papal appointments , calling for the interference of the legislature for the protection of the royal prerogative and the protestant church , and agreeing to suitable addresses to the Queen and the Bishop of London , were unanimously agreed to .
Lord John Russell And The Papal Aggressi...
LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND THE PAPAL AGGRESSION . TO THE RISHT BEV . THE BISHOP OP DURHAM " . My Dear Lord , —I agree with you in considering " the late aggression of the Pone upon our protestantism" as " insolent and insidious , " and I therefore feel as indignant as you can do upon the subject . I not only promoted to the utmost of my power the claims of the Roman Catholics to all civil rights , but I thought it right , and even desirable , that the ecclesiastical system of the Roman Catholics should be the means of giving instruction to the numerous Irish immigrants in London and elsewhere ; who without such help would have been left in heathen ignorance . This might have been done , however , without any such innovation as that which we have now seen . '
It is impossible to confound the recent measures of the Pope with the division of Scotland into dioceses by ; the Episcopal Church , or the arrangement of districts in England by the Wesleyan Conference . There is an assumption of power in all the documents which have come from Rome—a pretension to supremacy over the realm of England , and a claim to sole and undivided sway , which is not consistent with the Queen's supremacy , with the rights of our bishops and clergy , and with the spiritual indeperfi dence of the nation , as asserted even in Roman Catholic times .
I confess , however , that my alarm is not equal to my indignation . Even if it shall appear that the ministers and servants of the Pope in this country have not transgressed the law , I feel persuaded that we are strong enough to repeal any outward attacks . The liberty of Protestantism has been enjoyed too long in England to allow any successful attempt to irapese a foreign yoke upon our mind and consciences . No foreign prince or potentate will be permitted to fasten his fetters upon a nation which has so long and nobly vindicated its ri g ht to freedom of opinion , civil , political , and religious . Upon this subject , then , I will only say that the present state of the law shall be carefully examined , and the propriety of adopting any proceedings with reference to the recent assumption of power deliberately considered . There is a danger , however , which alarms me
much more than any agression of a foreign sovereign . Clergymen of our own church , who have subscribed the Thirty-Nine Articles , and acknowledged in explicit terms the Queen's supremacy , have been the most forward in leading their flocks , " step by step , to the very verge of the precipice . " The honour paid to saints , the claim of infallibilit y for the church , the superstitious use of the sign of the Cross , the muttering of the Liturgy so as to disguise the language in which it is written , the recommendation of auricular confession , and the administration of penance and absolution-all these thines are pointed out by clergymen of the Church of Ene land as worthy of adoption , and are now openly rt piehended by the Bishop of London in his chargVto the clergy of his diocese . 6 What , then , is the dangerto be apprehended from a foreign prince of no great power , compared to the danger within the gates from the unworthy sons of the Church of England herself ?

' The recent unpopular proceedings of thePope haa had the effect of . giving quite » new charaotei to this—of late yeats-almost forgotten celebration , From ah early hour on Tuesday , morning the bye streets of the metropolis and ita suburbs ¦ were rife With the effigies of- " . Guidy Favrkes . ^ As the . day advanced ,, " Guya of larger , growth" presented themselves in the I more frequented . thoroughfares , attended by numberless idlers , ; who kept upjv running fire of pellets against , the .

In some cases an attendant carneda bpwl . of white , wash and a brush with which ever and , anon he inscribed on the walls and pavement ,. m . rude characters .- "No Popery , " "No wafer . gods , ' "No
Cathblio ' humbug , and similar anU-llqmawsG . ex-i pressions . The Guys were received with more than usual welcome by the populace , and the . conductors of the several groups found no difficulty in levying handsome " mail" on . the passengers . ' A great many persons assembled about mid r day . in the vicinity of the Catholio cathedral in St . George Sr fields ^ ' Two or three . householders , probably ap . prehehBive from tbe proximity of- their residences to the Romish churchthat thoy might be considered " followers of that faith , " anil thus meet with rough treatment , exhibited placards ,, bearing loyal and antirltomanist inscriptions . One lusty Protestant , in letters . three inches ' deep , called upon " God to nreserve Queen Victoria from the Pope ; and
Popery V ' . another inveighed against the worship of •'' wafer . gods ; " and a third expressed his unmitigated contempt for all " Catholic humbug . " About half an hour after . riooh , there issued from tbe pur * lieus of Farringdoh-markct into .

' Thisgrou £ had evidently been V got up'j by some' zealous anti-Romanists , regardless of cost ; - It consisted , of about fourteen figures—animate and inanimate- —presided over by a colossal . Guy , about sixteen feet ih : height , who elevated in his chariot —a van drawn by two horses—was compelled to
bow down considerably before he could be made to pass beneath Temple-bar . This pageant included ah animate ' effigy of , the , ' new Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster , attired ' , in 'the . gaudy , canonical robes of the Romish church , and . wearing the . red and broad-brimmed hat appertaining . to his office . The cardinal was supported on the right by a waggish fellow , habited in the robes of a nun , and upon the left by a jolly fat mbhk ,, whb . leered impudently under his mask at the passers-by . ; There was . also a second figure of a moink . looking very lugubriously , and labelled . " St . Giiy--the .. Martyr !" . An animate figure , holding' a . brush and a pail of whitewash , inscribed , ; ' / ' Holy water . fpr \ the penitent !" A man in barristers' robes , and three or four masks ,
completed the group . ' The van bore two large . insoriptions , the one " : Cardinal St . Impudence going to take possession of his diocese in Westminster ; and the other . " Guy Fawkes going to be canonised in St . George ' a-fields ; " and some smaller ones , such as" No Popery ! " & c . On its appearance in Fleetstreet this group attracted an immense crowd , who greeted it with loud cheers and laughter . ; Several police officers were in attendance , and ,- accompanying the procession to the confines of the , city , gave to it something of an official character , After passing through Temple-bar , the " cardinal" and the " Guy" were conveyed through the Strand . and ( Jovent-garden Market , thence back to the Strand and Charing-cross , and after passing up
Regentstreet and down Bond-street , returned through Whitehall over Westminster-bridge to St . George sfields , where they arrived shortly after four o ' clock . Although a great concourse of persons attended-this procession , throughout the whole route indicated , there was no attempt at disturbance of any kind during tho . day . The next most imposing " Guy " perambulating the streets was an < equestrian effigy —also of colossal size—which confined its wanderings to the eastern districts of the metropolis , and , like its western prototype , was accompanied by a very great crowd of spectators . Other " smaller fry * " thronged _ the streets until a late hour . At seven o ' clock several tbbusandsof personsassembled in the Cambridge-heath-road , Bethnal-green , ahd
the various avenues adjoining , ior the purpose of witnessing the destruction by fire of the . effigy of Cardihal Wiseman , with those of the ; ' eleven bishops . The piece of ground selected wasVth ' e Green , which was granted for the purpose by , Miss Eastman , the freeholder . On this space a pile of sevteral loads of faggots , ' under which werje ^ tppme tar barrels , was placed . The effigy Of the ^ ii & dinal was raised oh a stage properly suspended ? in < the centre of the pile , and those of tbe bishops were attached to the poles . A splendid display ot fireworks followed , a band playing tho National Anthem , which was enthusiastically responded to . About dusk , notwithstanding the precept from the Lord Mayor , some thousand persons took possession of Tower-hill , and a continuous discharge of pyrotechnics Was kept up without the least intermission for
several hours . Whilst the fireworks were being let off , a large figure , representing " His Holiness" on a donkey , was lead into the ground . The animal wore a cardinal ' s hat , and round his neck was hung a large bill , on which was printed "Wiseman .. Several persons , representing " rightrev . fathers , " walked at the side of the animal . So great did the crowd at length get that it was found necessary to have a large body of police under Mr . Inspector Todhunter , to preserve something like order , and guard the property of tho inhabitants . . At Bonner ' s fields the effigy of the Pope , in his full canonicals , was destroyed in the presence of an immense number of persons , who testified "their approbation by hearty cheers , mingled with cries of " Down , with the Pope" and a continuous discharge of fireworks . At the Surrey side of the water similar expressions of public disapprobation were evinced .
At Richmond the inhabitants showed their disapproval in every conceivable way of the appointment made by the Pope . The discharges of fireworks , and the destruction of the Pope ' s effigy , proceeded with great spirit . At Hampton Court , Kensington , Blackheathpark , Guildford , Godalming , and various other places , there were also anti-Popery demonstrations . Notwithstanding these general expressions of the popular feeling , no outrage of any kind appears to have taken place , ' -At Exeter about £ 30 was raised and devoted to the anti-Papist demonstration . In the course of the day forty seams of wood were brought into tho Cathedral-yard , and piled for the bonfire in the roadway , abont equi-dist < int from Broad-sate to the
western entrance of the ancient edifice . At a quarter-past nine o ' clock , a grand procession marched out of the College , where it had been about an hour and a half in forming . It extended more than 150 yards , and was composed of above 200 persons , in characteristic dresses . First came the bareheaded friars , with torches , of which tMj | were about thirty , and by their light was soen » a gridiron , shackles , and thumbscrews , with a placard "the instruments of torture . " Nextcamethe Inquisitor-General , a gigantic' effigy , in sombre habiliments , with a crape mask , symbolical of the office , and by its side two men , similarly attired , as offic erffof the Holy Inquisition / The chief object of attraction followed , borne by men : it was a
gorgeous effigy of Pope Pius IX . in full pontifical robes , sitting in a chair of state , two censer bearers preceding ; no wore tho triple crown , magnificently ornamented with a profusion of jewels . A large white shoe was prominent , supposed to encase that'important functionary , the Pope ' s toe , or papal' chamberlain , by which the faithful ,- who liked ; were introduced to his Holiness . The less ser star , Dr . Wiscman , was only divided from the sovereign pontiff by an immense crosier , and hiseffigy also was dressed in perfect keeping with his rank acardinal , the hat and collar and robes included . Behind him twelve men , dressed in white , with a red cross on each of their backs , and head coverings of a combination of mitre and helmet , significant of the Romish church being militant , bore each a placard of
his title ; and although there was no time to read the names , no doubt all the twelve bishoprics were there . Then came placards and banners ad infinitum . At intervals the scenic effect was increased by some beautiful floured lights , red , green , violet , and purple . Haying completed the circuit amid the discharge of rockets , Roman candles , & c , the procession conducted the figures to the bonfire and the Pope and Cardinal having been placed back to back on the 5 mnmit , ' whilst the band played the " Rogue ' s March , ^ a light was applied , a discharge of rockets followed , up mountea the flames , consuming the effigies amid the deafening shouts of the beholders . Ihe bishops and . the inquisitor-general were then kicked round the bonfire , and then kicked into it , the band playing ' * God save the Queen . "

Clark , who appeared to be about ' fourth years ' of age , was brought before Alderman GiMw
in the ! custody of Deady , the officer , charged with having-robbedS a great number of-little ' boys of bundles of clothes and other property . Ih most of the cases the goods stolen consisted of articles for which poor washerwomen were responsible , and had been taken from their children when either eoinw to or coming from their " customers . Tho circuml stances excited much interest , and caused a ver ? crowded justice-room—Deady having heard that a boy named Bennett , the son of a laundress , was robbed near St . Paul ' s a few days ago of a bundle of linen . apprehehded the prisoner upon that infer , mation ^ -and introduced him on Saturday to Alder . derman'Gibbs ? who , upon learning that upwards o £ a score of children bad been plundered by him re *
mandedhim till Tuesday , and directed the officer : to get . together some of his accusers ; Dead y ac » cordingly appeared at the justice-room , followed by upwards of twenty boys , aged from seven to fourteen years . —Bennett , aged twelve years , said , as I was going along . near King ' s Head-court , with 5 bundle of clothes from my mother , who takes in , washing , the prisoner came up and said he would give me a rabbit . So he took the bundle lb put the rabbit in it , and away he slipped down the court . I went afterwards , with the officer to St . Paul ' s , Churchyard , and pointed out the prisoner to him , ¦ rrThe second boy , eleven years of age , was robbed in the following manner : —Aa the boy was carryin * a . bundle of clothes to " the wash , " the prisoner e £
teredinto conversation with him , asked him whether he would like arabbit , persuaded him to leave the bundle at a shop until his return from the placa where the rabbit was waiting , contrived to lead him astray , and then slipped back to the shop and ap . plied fpr and received the clothes , as the brother of the child who had left them there . —The third boy ten years of age , was asked by the prisoner in tha street to carry a . bundle , and consented to do this for three halfpence . As they walked along the pti * soner asked him whether he would like a rabbit , to which he replied that his father would not allow him to keep one . ' « But what would you think " said the prisoner , " of a pair of pigeons' ? " The offer of the pigeons was immediately accented , and
the prisoner ^ who pointedat a public-house where he said he lived , desired the boy to . wait outside while he should go to his motber for the bundle and the pigeons .. " But , " said the prisoner , " where will you put the birds ? " " I bave no where to put ' , " replied the hoy . "Oh , " cried the prisoner , " your . coat will do . Just slip it off , and I'll fix them in it . " Off the poor child took his coat , and gave it to the prisoner , who went into the public house at one door and out at the other , leaving his victim shivering with the cold , and , in about a quarter of an hour , trembling with expectation of a sound flogging on reaching home . —The fourth boy was promised a rabbit while carrying a bundle of clothes from " the wash ; " but the prisoner ,
finding that the boy was not worth expending ingenuity upon , he first induced him to turn down a court to be out of the public gaze , slipped away the bundle from his arms , and suddenly disappeared round the corner . —In the fifth case the prisoner plaved the "rabbit rig" with a little boy , from whom he took the opportunity of snatching a pair of trousers , not considering that the " swag ' was worth more trouble . —In the sixth case a boy lost his place in conquence of the rascally trick of the prisoner , who adopted tho " pigeon rig'' upon him ; took him to a public-house when he was carrying his master's coat to a tailor to be button-stitched , left him outside waiting , for the pigeons , while the other door afforded the means of escape , and tho coat and the
prisoner , disappeared at the Same time ; The master of the unfortunate dupe would not believe this statement , and , having fears for other propertv , got rid of him immediately ; but , upon finding that the robbery was real , assured the Alderman that justice should be done;—Deady : I cannot find anybody whoknows anything about him . ¦ He gave me an address in Mint-street , which I find to be false . I-expect that thirty or . forty cases can be proved against him , and , from what I am able to learn , ho is the most cunning and desperate young thief in London . —Alderman Gibbs : I shall remand him for some days , to give you an opportunity of bringing forward other cases , and I dare say some good Sowing may be of service to him .
