      TO THE CHARTISTS . Bcother Chaktists , —In thanking you for the honour yon have done mo in electing me a member of your Executive Committee , I beg most respectfully to resign the office conferred , since , in regard for the best interests of our movement , I cannot consent to sit on an Executive constituted like the present . . Permit me , in retiring from that committee , to urge on your consideration the absolute necessity for calling a Con--vention together with all possible speed , and to express a hope that , in remodelling tbe internal organisation of our movement , we may find such men as Julian Harney , Samuel Kydd , and Thomas Cooper , called to the guidance of its affairs . I feel no doubt that if you were to associate them creditablv to themselves and fc > the cause , tbey would -no longer avoid the fulfilment of duties , however respou-Bible or onerous .

      It may create some surprise that , in declining to serve -with the present Committee , I should myself enact a part for which 1 blame others . It is just the retirement of those others , which out of respect for the cause , leaves me no alternative , bnt to adopt the step I am now taking . I need Eot say that I shall continue to labour for the -Charter as unremittingly and publicly as heretofore ; that not for one moment dol intend relaxing in my exertions , humble though they be ; and that I shall ever be found in the active steady and unflinching advocacy of our cause—a cause which , whatever some may say , whose triumphant issue is notfar distant . But unless you wish to see that cause perish , despite all its elements of success , I implore of you to elect a Convention without loss of time . Eesest Jokes . London , Wednesday , January 7 th , 1852 .

      ?0 The Members Of The "National Charter ...

      ? 0 THE MEMBERS OF THE "NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATIOS . " Gesilbmes , —I find that four hundred and seventy of you . have elected me to be one of your Executive for this year . I am very heartily thankful for this unsolicited and unexpected mark of confidence but soais few explanations are necessary on ir . y part before I can either accept ( except temporarily ) or decline the office to which I have been cho > en . For however gratified I may be by the trust , I cannot lose sight of tho strangeness of the position to which my friends are inviting me—namely , as one of the Leads of a body , which , for a longtime past , I have been pronouncing ( and still must persist in pronouncing ) dead , —utterly dead , and beyond hope of even a galvanic

      recovery . I am ready and willing to undertake any ofiice for the people . But if I take office , I must work . If I work , I jnust kaow the object for which I am to work , and approve tbe means placed at my disposal . I know your . objeefc ; but I do not approve your means , —for I think them utterly insnfHcieiir . . Even if disposed to waste my own time upon futilities , I could not consent to minister to a delusion : nor have I sufficient power of face to undertake to lead men no whither . To think that the present Chartist organisation can ever get the Charter I believe to he a delusion ; and , as the " National Charter Association , " under present guidance , you will just go toward no whither till you die of inanition on the road .

      I say this with no personal reference to either the last or the present Executive ; I say this without any condemnatory allusion to what are called the " past mistakes " of Chartism . I speak of Chartism as it is ; of your A , sso--ciation at its best , as the organ only of the working classes —of only a part of them . And was it of the whole it would not alter my conviction ; which is , that the working classes alone can never win their freedom by any such organisation as yours , or ly any such method of procedure . What difference is there between the middle and working classes ia this matter ? Why , that the middle classes have a power m the state ; and even a few of them , if discontented , can terribly embarrass the government : so the government respects their grumbling whenever it reaches a certain temperature . Rut for the working classes , they may talk till doomsday , aud their talk will carry nothing : because they have no power in ilie Stale . That is , no power constitutionally ; and they are not yet by any means prepared to act unconstitutionality : no more than they were in April , ' 48 , or in November , ' 59 .

      Theworkingclassesmustadoptmeasuresverydifierentfrom any they have yet serioush rontemplated , before they can be Etrongenough to free themselves by themselves : but they can win their freedom in concert with the honest liberals of the middle classes . In concert with them they may obtain the franchise through the ordinary means of political agitation —enrolment of nau e ? , subscription of funds , and lots of " stump oratory . " These two p ^ ths lie open to you : the unconstitutional and the constitutional ; the third way goes no whither . You will not reach the Charter , though you travel on it fifteen years more , and fifteen hundred afterwards . For the unconstitutional way you are not fit . Only one course remains : to get tbe middle classes to join you .

      I do not advise you to betray your cause by any allhnce with the Parliamentary Reform Association or the ^ Manchester Move . Bu t I advise you to act so as to detach the best men from both these ; and so at once to knock them up , and to substitute for them a real national party . If there are not any honest men among them to join you , then God help you for another generation ! But there are many honest men ; though prejudiced against the name of Chartist . 0 , " prejudiced against a name I" Well , and is not jours a prejudice for a name ? What I advise to you is this—that you instruct your

      Executive ( and I put it to you because it seems to me that , as nly your Executive , we must have your authorisation ) and empower * hem tn your name to caU a Conference of all advocates of fmiversal ' So § Tage ( Vaeprinciple of the Charter )>» onfer to consider of a basis of union , —prepared in your name to surrender the name of the Charter and its minor provisions ( if required ) , to try , in fact , how large a party can be got for Usiversal Male Scfpraoe Axn so Pbopbbtt Qualification . For the sake of union I would defer all except IHE BIGHT OF ALL M CHOose fbou iu ; leaving the rest as open questions . Except upon such a simple ground , I see HOW no hope of National Puurtti—no chance of our success .

      I know not if my advice will be palatable . That is a question I seldom care to answer . I know it to be honest , and I believe it to be wise . It remains for you to consider . If ia this course I can help you , well 1 I am ready . If yoa do not choose this " way , then I know not what I can do for you ; and I shall have to resign a sinecure , unless , indeed , you can show me other worfc . Do not think , however , that I am presuming to dictate the terms upon which I will accept your delegation . I am only pointing out what I think I can do , asking you if such qualification may be sufficient for your delegate . I wish to eerveyou . * Yours faithfully , «•» -J T , « . , n- „ W . J .

      ACCIDENTS IN MIXES . XO IHE EDITOR OF IHE XOBTHEHS STAB . Sib , —I am anxious to bring before the miners of this country , through the medium of tbe public popular press , the necessity of renewed exertions on their part to procure - ^ "e government and the legislature , an augmentation oi the number of inspectors for the mines of this country . At present onl y four inspectors are appointed , and their Memcien cy is demonstrated by the continued frequency of explosions , and other accidents , whereby hundreds of lives are being sacriOced yearly , as will be seen from the

      inspectors , and stated the necessity of having the ^ istncts so 1-miteJ that each colliery shall have a monthly vuitano examination . To the miners of other districts we appeal for their co-operation in this work of humanity , since < a must be apparent to all , that if we do not take up tne matter generally no good will be done . Miners ; snoui o consider that , under present circumstances , no one can ten who may be the next victim ; many of those poor men now laid beneath the surface were perhaps negligent m wis matter , and have now lost that opportunity for ever .

Robbery bv a Servast . —Thomas Hands , 20 , pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having stolen a sovereign , the property of Henry England Jones , his mastir . Proof was given of the prisoner having been convicted of a similar offence in ISid , at the Central Criminal Court , upon which occasion he was sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for nine months . The prisoner was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour , and an intimation was given , that should he ever make his appearance again as a convicted felon , transportation would await him .

      Robbebt on the Rivbb . —Ralph Scot , 27 , John Fraser , 23 , Charles Watkins , 25 , Henry Robinson , 27 , and John Watkins , 35 , were indicted , charged with having stolen sixteen bushels of oats and four sacks , the property of Thomas Robert Keen , and another , from a barge on the river Thames . —The jury convicted Scott , Fraser , Robinson , and Charles Watkins , recommending Robinson to mercy . With respect to John Watkins , tbey returned a verdict of acquittal . —The learned judge sentenced Scott , Fraeer , and Charles Watkins to one year ' s bard labour each , and Robinson to six months . Robbert from the Person .-tWilliam Moore , aged 27 , pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging him with having stolen a gold watch , the property of Catherine flyams , from her person . —A previous conviction having been proved against the prisoner . —The learned Judge sentenced him to transportation for ten years .

      John Toy , aged 20 , pleaded Guilty to an indictment by which he was charged with having stolen an iron pipe , the property of the Blackwall Railway Company . —In this case , too , a former conviction was proved . —The learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour , A Yoosa Thief . —James Judd , alias Judge , a boy fourteen years of age , was indicted for stealing a purse , value 6 J ., a half-sovereign , and other monies , the property of John Redrapp , from the person of Emma Redrapp . —The prisoner having pleaded " Not Guilty , " afterwards withdrew that plea , and pleaded Guilty . —Other convictions were

      proved against the boy . —Mr . Prendergast besought tho Court to pass a light sentence on the pusonrr , as his mother was about to sail for Canada with the intention of taking this and another son with her . Thus the boy , who had probably fallen into bad ccnvpitmy , would be effectually removed from such companions . —The learned Judge remarked , that in his opinion the safer course would be that the boy should be ^ sent to Pavhurst , where he would bo taught a trade , by means of which he would in future years be enabled to earn an honest livelihood . With this view he would sentence him to transportation for seven years .

      Wise Romjerv . —A ' . dborough Richardson Davis , 30 , stated to be a wine-merchant , was charged with having stolen in a dwelling-house , twenty dotens of port nine , of the value of £ 40 , the property of Mary Ann Paas .

Robbert . —Martha M'Gregor , 27 , was charged with stealing three silver spoons , value £ 3 , and 10 s ., the property and monies of Henry Webb . It appeared that the prosecutor is clerk to a carcase salesman in Newgate-market , and lived at No . 64 , Uatton-garden ; and further , that he and the prisoner had resided together as man and wife , for a period of nine or ten years . This connexion , however , was broken off in the msnth of April , 1850 , at which time they separated by mutual consent , as proved by an agreement to that effect ,

      which was duly signed by each of them . This agreement contained a clause to the following effect : —That the prosecutor ^ should pay her £ 15 in money , and give her a number of articles of furniture , which were specified ; and the prisoner , on her part , undertook not to insult or annoy the prosecutor in any way whatever , and to abandon every claim she might have upon him . The prosecutor said he was compelled to adopt this course in consequence of the dissolute and improper conduct of - the prisoner , whom he frequently found in a state of intoxication , and his place all in an uproar , when he went home at night . When the agreement was executed they parted , and he performed all he had undertaken to do in that agreement . The prisoner frequently went to his employers in Newgate-market , and abused him "villanously , " and had assaulted and annoyed him at least a hundred time ? . She went to his residence about six or seven months ago , but the landlord gave her in od

      to custy , and she was bound over to keep the peace . On the evening of the 23 rd of December last she had gone there , accompanied by another woman , who knocked at the door and tendered a letter to the prosecutor ' s housekeeper , who came to the door , but she refused it , and , as she was closing the door , the prisoner rushed past her into the house , got into the prosecutor ' s sitting-ronm , and commenced smashing the glass and chin a in the most furious manner . She declared that she was Mrs Webb , and that that was her home , and while the housekeeper was gone to get assistance she took the spoons in question , two silver soup-spoons , one gravy-spoon , and 10 s . from a sideboard , and made off . She was apprehended by Fisher , and gave up the pawnbroker ' s duplicates relating to the spoons . She declared she had taken them as a ri ght . The prosecutor now denied positively that she had any right to the property . The prisoner was found Guilty , and sentenced to six weeks' hard labour .

The jury fonnd the prisoner Guilty . The learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment and hard labour for four months .

      The Czar And his Servants . —Mr . Fonblanque , the British Consul at Belgrade , in opposition to the usual custom did not alight from his carriage to pay a visit of ceremony to the Russian ambassador on the occasion of the birth-dav of theCiar . bat merely sent up his card . The Russian representative sent back the card by his servant , with a message that on this occasion , being the anniversary of the Emneror he would receive none but personal visits . Mr .

Walstab , and in December last he was summoned to the Westminster County Court for a sum of £ 16 s . 8 d . tor wood that had been furnished to him in the month of December , 1850 . When the hearing took place witnesses were examined who proved th at the defendant had ordered the fuel , that it was delivered to him at his shop , and that he signed the delivery-book acknowledging its receipt , and also that when he was applied to shortly afterwards for the amount , he said he would look over the billand pay it the next

      , time the collector called . In answer to this case the defendant himself was sworn , and he then gave evidence , denying all knowledge Of the transaction , declaring that-he had never ordered or ' received the fuel , and that he had never seen the persons who had been examined as witnesses to prove tbe debt . The judge of tbe County Court decided in favour of the claim , and ordered the defendant to pay the debt and costs forthwith , and he at the same tune directed that an indictment for perjury should be preferred against tbe defendant . AU the witnesses that had been called m the County Court were now examined , and the evidence given by the defendant was likewise put in , establishing the facts above narrated . —The jurv immediately returned a verdict of Guilty , but recommended thedefendant to mercy on account of his previous good character .

He felt that he was very much injured , and went to the hospital , where ho had remained until last Friday . —In answer to questions that were put by the Court the prosecutor said that he was a married man with a family , but that he had deserted his own wife and had cohabited with the prisoner , who was a married woman , for several years . He also admitted that

      she had left her husband at his solicitation . —The Jury found the prisoner Guilty . —The Recorder respited the judgment , and he at the same time told the prosecutor that he had brought it all upon himself by his own misconduct , and he would therefore not be allowed any expenses . Embezzlement . —Thomas East , 21 , pleaded Guilty to three indictments charging him with embezzlement . —The prisoner was in the service of Messrs . Staples , the proprietors of the Albion Tavern , in Aldersgate-street , as clerk . It was his duty to pay the servants and make other disbursements , and money was given to him for that purpose ; and it appeared that for a considerable time he had been in the habit of keeping back and appropriating to bis own use a portion of the money so intrusted to him , tho whole amount of his defalcations being over £ 100 sinco May last . —He was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard

Ernest and Cresswell , accountants , of Cheapside , and , amongst his duties , had to collect the rents of some property that was in -Chancery , and the monies in question were two quarters' rent which he had

      received , but not accounted for . —In cross-examination it was elicited that the business relating to the property in Chancery was not intrusted jointly to the firm , but to Mr , Ernest , who was solely appointed by the Court of Chancery as receiver of the rents in question . —Mr . Ballantine took an objection to the indictment , which charged the prisoner with having received the monies on account of the firm jointly , being their servant , and after some discussion , the Common Sergeant held the objection to be fatal to the indictment , and directed the jury to Acquit the prisoner . Robbing a . Painting Office . —William North , 13 , and Jimes Fitsgerald , 20 , labourer , were indicted for stealing 421 b . of brass rule , the property of Andrew Spolitiswoode and another . —Tbe prisoners pleaded Guilty . —Mr .

Mr Baron Platt sentenced the prisoner to be transported for seven years . Charge of Perjury . —Richard Moss surrendered to take his trial for wilful and corrupt perjury . The circumstances under which this charge was preferred have appeared very recently in the police reports . The parties who had promoted the prosecution were the parents of two respectable youths named Franoatelli and Adam , and the allegation against the defendant , who is one of the detective officers belonging to the metropolitan police , was that he aud another officer , named Attwood , had made a false charge against the young men of attempting to pick pockets at M . Julian ' s concert at . Drury-lane Theatre , and were the next

      morning examined before Mr . Hall , at Bow-street , when the defendant swore that he saw them both feel the pockets of several ladies , and that one of them put his hand into a I ady ' s pocket . He also swore that as they were going down the stairs , on their way out , he saw something that looked giittering , like a watch , pass from one to the other , and t iat he heard Franoatelli say to Adam— " Push me Tom ;" and that the other said— " All right Robert ; and that he did push him , apparently to create confusion , and that he then took them into custody . Attwood , the other constable , corroborated the story told by tho defendant , and upon their evidence both tbe young men were committed to take their trial at the Westminster Sessions for thej misdemeanour , but the grand jury ignored the bill against them , and a charge of perjury was then preferred against"both the constables . —The jury returned ; a verdict of ^ Not Guilty . — Henry Attwood , the other constable , was then arraigned upon the same charge , and acquitted .

      Peculiarities Of Turner. —The Rumours Wh...

      Peculiarities of Turner . —The rumours which have long been current respecting Turner ' s enormous wealth have it seems , greatly overstated the case . His property , exclusive of his pictures , does not exceed £ 100 , 000 : —and the whole of this , we believe , he has left to found almshouses for the benefit of unforfunate and meritorious artists . His pictures he has bequeathed to the nation , —on the express condition that within a given time a suitable place shall be provided for their deposit and exhibition . This is a wise proviso . It is amusingly characteristic of the mental habits of the man that to each of his executors he has left a legacy of £ 19 I 9 s . 6 d . - .-the fractional character

      oi tue sum bemg a pruden t precaution for saving the legacy duty . We mentioned last week that Mr . Turner died in an obscure lodging in Chelsea—but wo purposely omitted to state that he was living at Chelsea under an assumed name . The story is as follows : —He loved retirement , and entertained a peculiar dislike to having his lodging known-sharing with all his immense wealth the feeling of the poorest bankrupt . He saw lodgings to his liking , asked the price , found them cheap ,-and that was quite as much to his liking . But the landlady wanted a reference- " I will buy your house outright , my good woman , was the repl y somewhat angril y . Then , an agreement was wanted-met by an exhibition of bank-notes and sovereigns and an offer to pay in advance :-an offer whin ) ,

      prove ,, course perfectl y satisfactory . The artist ' s diffi . cult es were not , however , yet over . The landlady wanted her odger ' s name-- in case any gentleman stmuld oal ?' This was a worse dilemma . " Name , name " he mattered jLir ^ v " US 0 - aI Smff manner , " What is yoSr name ? - « My name is Mrs . Brook . " - «« Oh" was the Eft' " ? e » J Mr .

      tnat j , e should have fifty proofs of every plate-and he went even so far with some as to demand that the "touched " proofs should be re turned to him . Certain engravers , however , properly insisting on the custom of their craft not to return proofs , continued to retain them in spite of every threa t which Turner could make that the artists who insisted on keeping his touched proofs should never bo em-Fn . it ^ Z Z Snnng from his works .

      ' ¦ ¦ na RYLEBONE . —A PuoiiisT . —John Crawley , a pugilist , who has latterly obtained a livelihood by exhibiting , the art of self-defence' at fairs , races , dco . - , was- brought before Mr . Brou shtoncbarged with having robbed , and in a most brutal manner assaulted , Henry Sparling , a fellow lodger ,-at No . lj Henrietta-street , Maachester-square . —The evidence went to show that , as complainant was sitting quietly by the tire in his room , the prisoner , who ' was drunk , entered it , and , without sayinga word to him , kicked him , and knocked him down by a tremendous , bio won the head . While he ( com , plainant ) was lying upon the floor the prisoner stole from him fh . ee sixpences , and before he ( complainant ) had time to renin his - legs , seized him by-the nose so firmly with his teeth to nearly bite it through . Another person who was

      preas , sent rushed forward to his assistance , and by throttling the prisoner succeeded in dragging him away , and gave him into , the custody of police c onstable PhiUips .-The P . ™<™ r , iu answer to the charge , said that he was first attacked by the complainant after they had had a few angry words fogetber . —It was stated that the prisoner was a very desperate character ' and had frequently been charged with violent outrages on the police , in addition to which be was once in custody for knocking down a gentleman in Oxford-street . — Mr . Broughton did not consider that the allegation of robbery had been clearly established , but for the savage attack upon tbe complainant . he fined the prisoner £ 5 , or two months im prisonment in the House of Correction . _ ¦ John

      CLERKENWELL . —Assault by an Attobnet . — Thomas Moss , attorney , of No . 12 ,. Gray ' s-inn-square , appeared on a summons charged by Mr . Leonard Wrightson , clerk to Mr . Corry , the . Chancery barrister of L'ncoln ' s-inn , with-an assault . —The complainant said , that the defendant was indebted to Mr . Corry ,. £ 10 10 s . fees , for the payment of which he had called on defendant forty or fifty-times , andhealwaysput him off , saying he was "busy , " or to " call again to-morrow . " On Thursday last he again called at No . . 12 , Gray ' s-inn-square , and after waiting there for some time defendant came and said , " It ' s no use for you to stop . " Witness was annoyed and said , "Is that the only answer you have to give me ; if so , I must take other proceedings against you . " Defendant . said "Take other proceedings , " and finished the . sentence with an oath . Witness asked if he meant to cheat or swindle , it

      looked like swindling . Defendant said "If you repeat that , I will knock you down . " Witness remarked " You have heard what I said , there is no reason to repeat it . " On which defendant struck him on tbe mouth , and cut his lip , *' id caused his own knuckle to bleed . Two of the c lerks were present at the time , and witness appealed to Mr . Fox , one of them , as a witness to the assault—Defendant : Pray , did you not call . me a swindler Witness : I did not . —Mr . Tyrwhitt said it was a most discreditable affair for an attorney in the presence of his clerks to have struck the complainant . The case ought not to have been brought into court at all , and he suggested that defendant might speak privately to the complainant if ho thought

      proper . Complainant said he did hot treat it as a private matter . If barristers' clerks were to be treated in this way when they peaceably called for their employers' fees , what would become of the profession?—Defendant : I must admit that I have insulted the majesty of the law , for which I am sorry ; but I was much excited at tbe time of the term swindler being applied to me in tbe presence of my clerks , and I gave the complainant a smack on the face . — The defendant then consulted privately with complainant ' s solicitor , and shortly afterwards they returned , when the latter said the matter was satisfactorily arranged , and the defendant requested to put 10 s . into ibe poor box of tho Court .

      Distbeisino Case . —William Watberough , aged seventeen , was charged by William Blackberry , aged seventeen , with having stolen a fustian dress . —The prosecutor is a working aud friendless boy , lodging at No . 50 , Golden-lane , St . Lukes , with his brother . The prisoner came to lodge in the same house and slept in the same department . He was ragged and distressed , which induced witness and his brother to assist him with food and money , when they could not afford to do so . He at length seized an opportunity , whilst the brothers were asleep , to take away the dress which he now wore , and which belonged to witness . —The prisoner , in a melancholy tone , said in his defence-that ' lie took away the dress not forthe purpose of converting it into money , but in consequence of the most wretched distress ; his own clothes were so ragged and filthy that he could get no work in them , und he tore them up and put on the prosecutor's dress with a view to obtain employment , but he had not succeeded In his object , He was willing to do any

      sort of work . He had tried to enlist in the army , but he was not tall enough . —The prosecutor ' s brother corroborated the prisoner ' s account of his condition . Himself and brother had fed the prisoner and treated him kindly in consequence of his great distress . Ilia brother only wished to have his clothes returned to him , and not to prosecute the prisoner . They had no doubt distress caused him to take the clothes . —Prisoner ( crying ) : I only want work . I would thank anybody who would give me work . —Mr . Corrie asked if he had any friends . —He said he bad none . —Mr . Corrie highly complimented the brothers for their humanity and sympathised with the prisoner . The want of clothes should not be a drawback to his getting work , and the prosecutor should have his Ams given hack to him . He directed an officer of the court to take the pri . soner to a proper place and provide him with a suit of clothes , & c ,

      and relief ; the fustian dress to be restored to the prosecutor . —The prisoner was discharged from the bar , when ho accompanied the officer , who shortly afterwards returned with him , in appearance quite a different personage . He thanked the worthy magistrate , who hoped that he would go away and do good . MA .

      GDILDIIALL . — Conspiracy to Defraud . —John Barker , alias Murphy , was placed at the bar before Alderman Copeland upon the charge of conspiring with others not in custody in obtaining goods of Mr . Brook , of Bartlett s-buildings , to the value of upwards of £ 300 , by means of fraudulent representations . Mr . Lewis stated that , in addition to the charge of conspiracy , he intended to charge the prisoner with forgery , in drawing and uttering two bills of exchange for £ 100 and £ 150 in the name of John Barker , his real name being Murphy . A person named Alexander Honeyman had been summoned , but he had sent a parcel of these identical goods to his solicitor , placing them at the prosecutor ' s service , and declining to attend . His evidence was , however , material , and he ( Mr . Lewis ) , therefore , applied for a second summons for him . Mr , Lewis also stated that Mr . Perry , . the chief clerk of the Lambeth Police-court , would attend on a future day to prove that the prisoner , on his oath at that court , stated bis name was John Murphy . Remanded .

      THAMES . —Dissection . —A poor widow named Mary Sheridan came before Mr . Yardley for the second time to complain of the conduct of the . authorities of the London Hospital , who had , in opposition to her wishes , and against the exp ess dtsire of her country people and their prrjudices , caused the body of her late husband , thilip fcUevhuin , nn Irishman , to be dvsecteo .. The man died in the hospital on Sunday , the 28 th ult ., and when his widow npplkdforhisbody forthe purpose of waking ' and burying it , the people in the hospital refused to deliver it to her , and one of the medical gentlemen asked her if eke had any objection to the body being opened . She expressed the very strongest objections to such a proceeding , and said her husband , previous to his going into the said he would not

      hospital , on any consideration have his body opened . —Mr . Ynrdh-y asked if the body had been delivered to the widow % Mrs . Sheridan : Yes , and buried , your worship . —Mr . Yardley : What do yon want ate to do ? Mrs Sheridan : I want redress , your worship , for cutting up my husband's body in the way they have done , It was against lus wishes . Can they dolt !_ Mr . Yardley : But , my good woman , it is done , and you can't remedy it . It is a pity . I think , you did not consent to it ; but I don't wish to insult any prejudices you mav have on the subject . Mrs . Sheridan : They did it shamefully , your worship . Can't you punish them for it '—Mr . Yardley said he had no jurisdiction in the matter at all . He had no power to interfere —An Officer : If she goes to the hospital at one o ' clock to-morrow the committee will hear her . Mrs . Sheridan ( passionately ) : Very well j there is no justice here at all for a poor woman . She then hurriedly left the court with her friends , who were ereatlv excited . " J

He went with them to a neighbouring public -house , where ho paid for refreshments for his guests with n £ 5 note , which they saw him

      take from a pocket-book ; he afterwards slipped the book into his coat pocket . Upon returning to Cheapside the prisoner engaged his attention by some manoeuvre while the othvr female stood behind him and suddenly disappeared altogether . He then went home , and when he put his hand into his packet found that his money was gone . The prisoner was soon afterwards appvehendi d , but the other female could not be traced by the police . It was ' however , discovered that the latter , instead of returning to her lodgings that night , called upon a male companion , and disap . peared altogether from her nightly haunts , leaving ihe prisoner without any share of the booty to stand the brunt ot the accusation . A gentleman who was passing along the street picked wp a piece of the pocket-book , which had been torn in pieces and lay ou ihe ground . Amongst the leaves was sticking a £ 5 note . —The prisoner was remanded for another week . —The victim , who is believed to be a traveller lor a commercial house , did not appear .

      Audacious Street Robbebv . —Jane Gilmore , Thomas Brooks , and Charles Taylor , were brought up by Uaydon and Scott , he officers , charged with having picked a gentleman's pocket . —The three prisoners have been in the habit of pursuing a course of robbery which is now greatly in use , and most effective . —The woman who had some time ago actually robbed one of the most vigilant and excellent officers of the torce of a cigar case while he was watching the movements of her companions , walked along the streetalone , und stopped several gentlemm by quickly standing be fore them , while the two men were at hand to receive any mouev or valuables which she might grasp in her sudden interview For the srace of an hour and a half the officers who were in coloured clothes observed the active of
