Currie , their late member , bad not given them any satisfactory answer with regard to the property of the church . The introduction of
the Militia Bill ou the ground of an apprehended invasion was all a pretence .

James Pope, 30, A Respectable Looking Yo...
James Pope , 30 , a respectable looking young man , was indicted for stealing a number of clocks , the property of Otto Alexander Berens , hismaster , and Adolph Herschfield , who surrendered to take bis trial , with feloniously receiving the property , knowing it to have been stolen . —The prisoner Pope pleaded guilty . —The prosecutor carries on busi . ness in St . Paul ' s Church-yard , as a dealer , in foreign clocks , and the prisoner Pope had been in his service for some time prior to the month of April last . At that time it would appear that some suspicion was entertained of his honesty , and the inquiries that were made- resulted in his bein" taken into custody , nnd he then made a statement which induced the prosecutor to send one of his clerks to the shop of the other prisoner , Herschfield , in Bishopsgatestreot and where he sold clocks , watches , and various
articles of jewellery . Some of the clocks that were missed from the stock of the prosecutor , were exposed for sale in the window , and the prisoner at once admitted that he had purchased them of Pope . He was then , it appeared , summoned as a witness against the other prisoner , and on his examination upon oath , he stated that the other man had sold a clock to his wife during his absence m Ireland , and that he subsequently called upon him and represented that he lived in Dalsfcon , and that ho was m the clock trade , and be n" in difficulties ho wished to sell some of the stock , and uo on this representation he was induced to purchase several clocks of him , and that he also gave him a shilling a piece for a number of duplicates of other clocks , all of which it appeared had been stolen by Pope from the proseof the
cutor . It was suggested on tho part prosecution ; that the price given by Herschfield for the clocks he purchased of the prisoner was very much under their actual value , and after he had given his evidence the Alderman ordered the present charge to be preferred against him , allowing him , however , to go at large upon bail , and he now surrendered to take his trial in discharge of bis recognisances . A number of very respectable witnesses were i n attendance to speak to the character of Ilerschheld , but after two or three of them had been examined , the jury interposed and said they were quite satisfied , and did not require any further evidence . —The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty as regarded the prisoner Herschfield , and he was ordered to be immediately discharged . —Thejudgment upon the other prisoner was postponed . ¦
Robbery bt a Postman . —On Wednesday , George Tunney , 27 , postman , pleaded Guilty to stealing a post letter containing half-a-sovereign , it being the property of the Postmaster-General . — He was transported for seven years . Receiving Stolen Paopsarr . —Matthew Jacobson , 25 , watchmaker , and Thomas Lawrence , 23 , dealer , were indicted for receiving stolen property . —It appeared that Lawrence kept the Oak beer-shop , Chenies-mews , Tottenham-eourfc-road , and Jacobson was a watchmaker in the same road . —Smith , the sergeant of the E division , having some suspicion , went to the beer-shop to make a search , where he found nearly £ 100 worth of base coin , sovereigns , crowns , half-crowns , and shillings ; he also found an immense deal of other property , consisting of s ' uks , watches , and other things , stowed away between the floors , and at the other prisoner ' s place silks and other property was found , and all identified as the result of railway and other robberies . —The evidence , which was : very lengthy , was most conclusive , and the jury , having found tbe prisoners Guilty , they were sentenced to ten years' transportation
. ....... Pkbjurx—Thomas Weston , 44 , chaser , pleaded Guilty to ah indictment for perjury , and was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . . . The remaining portion of the day was occupied in trying some charges of felony of no great importance ; and several prisoners having , by application , been permitted to traverse until next session , the business was brought to an end , and the court stands adjourned until Monday , August 16 th .
New Court. Joseph King And Henry Simpson...
NEW COURT . Joseph King and Henry Simpson were indicted for stealing a quantity of nails , ' the property of Thomas Moses Green . There was also another indictment against Simpson , who had been out on bail , for receiving the property in question . It appeared that tbe prosecutor is an ironmonger in Broad-street , Lambeth , and King bad been porter iu his service about seven years . Cooking was a marine store dealer in the New Cut . On the 30 th of March last from information that was given by the police to prosecutor , he went to the Lambeth-street Court , and having obtained a search warrant , went with constables Goff and Hayes to Simpson's place , and they there saw a man named Cocking , who acted as shopman . They searched the place and found in two casks about thirteen cwt . of fine naila mixed ; amongst them were some packages in brown paper , corresponding with prosecutor ' s stock . The defence was , that the charge had been trumped up by Cocking , and there was no identity of tbe property . Several witnesses gave the prisoners a good character , and they were Acquitted .
Accidents And Casualties. Scaffold Accid...
ACCIDENTS AND CASUALTIES . Scaffold Accident . —On Saturday morning last , about eleven o'clock , a scaffold , on which five men were at work on some buildings in course of erection , in Maiden-lane , King ' s-cross , gave way , and the entire party were precipitated from a height of thirty feet to the ground ; two have escaped with trifling hurts , the rest wero removed to the hospital , ono without hopes of recovery . Fire on Board the Indus Steamship . —Sunday morning , about two o ' clock , a fire broke out on board that magnificent steamship : the Indus , the property of the Oriental Steam Navigation Company , lying in the dry dock of Messrs . Wigram and Sons , the shipbuilders of Blackwall .
The fire was discovered by the boatswain of one of the vessels in the river , who lost no time in arousing the captain and several men employed in the yard . Assistance having been promptly obtained the first thing sought to be accomplished was to open the dock-gates and let the tide in , it being apparent , that unless that was done , other vessels would be destroyed . Fortunately the tide soon flowed into the dock , but , notwithstanding that , another ship received considerable damage . Messengers having been despatched to the various fire stations for assistance several engines of the London Brigade attended , as well as one of the parish , the dockyard float , and the floating engine of the brigade from Rotherhithe . Some hours elapsed before tho fire could be entirely extinguished .

Gardening Calendar. Babdt F80it Oabbeh, ...
GARDENING CALENDAR . BABDT F 80 IT OABBEH , Our previous directions should bo looked over j the nailing and tying in of the current years ' wood should be continued . Man ; fine trees are in a deplorable state , from the uncongenial state of the weather during last month ; piach out the point oi the present j ear ' s woed of the fig before nailing them in . Stop and nail in vine * , and still continue to watch the progress of the green-fly . Where new strawberry plantations are intended , prepare the ground by deep trenching and well manuring with rotten dmig ; lay into three-inch pots a sufficient number of the desired kinds of plants for the purpose ; this little trouble will be amply repaid by the quantity and duality of the first year ' s crop .
FLOWER OABMH AMD SDBOBBEBY . The recently planted beds will still require watching , 'ta get the plants in them fairly on the start . The heavy rains of the last month have chilled the ground , and . some of the more tender , or badly rooted things , look sickly . As the grounds and shrubberies are much frequented by company at this season , pay the more attention in keeping the greatest neatness and order in every part , where there are hands to admit of it j flowering shrubs , as they go out of bloom , should bare the dead flowers , & c , removed , and be slightly cutback . For the same reasons remove the seed pods from rhododendrons , tree pceonies , & c , ; these little attentions ( where they can be given without infringing on more important matters ) , will bo followed by an increased growth of tbe plant , and with tbe greater certainty of their bloomiug every season . The propagation of carnations , picotees , cloves , & c , should not be longer delayed . As cuttings of the young grass will succeed at this
season , a alight hotbed should be made , on which place a few inches of very sandy compost . Select the weakest grass for cuttings and place an air-tight hand-glass over them . The stronger shoots left will answer for layering . The present is a favourable time for putting in cuttings of all the more showy herbaceous plants , selecting for the purpose the small shoots not furnished with bloom . A . north border is a suitable place to strike them , and a hand-glass will facilitate their rooting quickly . Pansies for autumn blooming may be treated in the same way . Hedges should be well cut in with the shears , unless whea formed of large leaved plants , as laurel , turkey oak , & c , when the knife only should be employed , as the leaves look bad when clipped with the shears . As a deciduous plant for hedges , nothing is bettsr than the Turkey or hybrid lucombe oak , and tnxodium sempervirens will be found a most eligible plant for making evergreen hedges , as it grows quickly , bears the knife well , and has an agreeable appearance .
FLOBlST 8 H . OWEB 8 . Tulips may now be taken up ; allow the skin and roots , after carefully removing the soil , to remain ; these can be better taken off when tho bulb is dry . Store them away either in cabinets with the drawers properly numbered , or put them in thin paper , allowing them to dry gradually in an airy shady place . Continue to put in cuttings or pipins of pinks ; these root freely on , a gentle hotbed , under hand-glasses , or they will succeed in the open border if kept duly shaded . Any one who is desirous to improve the race of this beautiful and fragrant flower should attempt to do something ia the way of cross breeding , after becoming acquainted with the organs of fructification ; a little perseverance will ensure success . Push dahlias on , bj watering treely when the weather is dry ; also astistthera by mulching the ground with decayed stable manure ; take care that the plants do not chafe where attached to 'b , ) blooming sticks . Take up seedling ranunculuses , these are often very small and scarcely distinguishable . ' We have found it the safest and most expeditious plan to put the soil to the dtpth of two inches , in which they have grown , in a fine wire seive ; by pumping through them and stirring tbe soil it passes through with the water , leavinff the roots ; these are afterwards spread on sheets of paper , and gradually dried in the shade .

A Brutal Husband. At Tho Worship-Street ...
A BRUTAL HUSBAND . At tho Worship-street Police Court Richard Reid , a dissolute-looking man , described as a blindniaker at Shaoklewell , was charged with a brutal assault upon his wife—The-prisoner's wife , a pale , careworn-looking woman , whose face and eyes wero shockingly contused and swollen , had gone out between twelve and one o ' clock on the preceding night to hunt after her husband , whom she met disgracefull y drunk , and returned home with him . She had scarcely got him in doors , however , when he became surly and sava ° ofor being interfered with , apparently , " . j * r applying to his wife the most disgusting epithets , dealt her such a furious blow between the eyes as to send tier staggering across the room , then swore , with a horrible imprecation , that he would kill her before the night was
out , and tried to get at her again to renew the attack . In tear ot the consequences if he did so , alio rushed out of the room screaming " Murder" and " Police , " and ran into the yard to fasten him into the house , but tho prL soner instantly pursued her , and , notwithstanding her imploring him not to hit her asrain , gr . isped her round the neck and beat her so brutally with his fists about the head , face , aud body , that , as she stated , she was sure she must have boen murdered hut for the fortunate interposition of one of tho lodgers , who hastened to her assistance , and rescued her from further violence ; as it was , tho poor woman declared that she was severely bruised all over , and that evenwktle giving her evidence she was suffering tlie most acute pain from illusage inflicted upon her . — . Edward Joyce , the lodger re f erred to , deposed to the stato
in which he found the wife while , the prisoner was heating her in the yard , and that , though he was thoroughly drunk , she was perfectly sober . —Butson , a constable of the N division , also stated , that upon hearing fearful screams in a woman ' s voica he hastened up to the house , and on reaching it found the complainant standing at the door , her hair hanging dishevelled about her neck , her eyes dreadfully beaten , blood streaming profusely do « nhr face , and one of her children crying in terror and nakedness at her legs . She charged l > or husband with inflicting the injuries , and the words were scarcely out of her mouth when tne prisoner rushed at her again , declaring that he was
determined to kill her , and there was no doubt that she would have been subjected to still further cruelty if the witness had not grasped him by the neek and lodged him jn the station house . —The prisoner made the usual excuse in such cases , of aggravation and drunkenness ; but Mr . Ilammill considered ' it a most scandalous outrage , and having fined him in the highest penalty— £ 5 , or in default to bo committed for two months to tho Houso of Correction , ordered him , moreover , to put in responsible sureties in the further sum of £ 20 for his peaceable conduct towards his wife for the six succeeding months , and , as he could not comply with either condition , he was carried away in th van .

A great crowd assembled and the neighbourhood was involved in uproar and confusion when the officers arrived on tbe spot and interfered , on which they were brutally maltreated by tho
prisoners and others in the " mob . Burns rushed into a house and locked himself in a room from which he was taken . On the road to the station-house the officers wero hooted , pelted , and pulled down by men , women , and lads , who kicked and beat them , especially Cook , who probably would have been murdered , had he not been a very powerful man . The prisoners wero at length secured in tha station-house after a desperate resistance . —They denied the charge , saying they were not there at the time . —Mr . Corrie committed both prisoners for a month to the House of Correction with hard labour .
A BEAST . At the Marylebone Court Edward Bridell , solicitor , No , 33 , Cloudesley-square , Islington , was charged with having indecently assaulted a girl name Caroline Bolton . —Thera was no evidence in support of the allegation gone into , the father of the girl ( thirteen years old ) not having brought his daughter forward to be sworn . The proceedings , which did not occupy many minutes , were brought to a close by . defendanfc expressing , through his counsel , his regret for any misconduct of which he might have been guilty , and giving £ 5 for the poor-box of the court .
CUTTING AND WOUNDING . Henry Mortimer , a rough-looking fellow , was charged with assaulting and wounding Margaret Stanton , the wife of an eating-house keeper , at 69 , Orchard-street , Westminster , —The accused entered the shop on Sunday afternoon , and after taking some refreshment prepared himself for a nap at full length . Prosecutrix told bim he could not be permitted to sleep there , upon which he abused hoc in the vilest terms , and having rushed round the counter , seized a carving-knife , and , advancing towards her , sworo he would cut her throat , and finding him about to carry his threat into execution , she put her hands up to protect her throat , when he cut her hand so severely that one of her fingers was nearly amputated . A servant came to prosecutrix ' s assistance , and wrenched the knife from his hand . The accused then left the shop , but was captured in the course of the evening . —Prisoner said he had no recollection of what had occurred , but he had no doubt all he did was in his own protection . —My . Broderip said 16 was a very aggravated assaujt , and committed the accused for trial .
THE "GENTLEMEN" OF THE EXCHANGE . At the Mansion House , the undermentioned charges were brought by a detective officer against several young men employed in the Stock Exchange . —The first person accused was Mr . E . Soileaux . —The police officer stated , that on Saturday , the 5 th of June , he was in pursuit of a person who had obtained money under false pretences , and he followed that person up Hercules-passage , and believed he had gone into the Stock Exchange . In consequence of this , he went to the door of the Exchange , and stated open what business he had come , at tho same time informing M porter that he was an officer . Upon this , a number of persons in the Stock Exchange Came forward , and raised various cries , such as " Turn > X out' . " " Kick him out . " Bonnet him ! " " He ' s a *>• \ l" and so on . They then
hustled him , and pushed him . ' rom side to side , but refused to let him go in for the , •¦>* discovering the man for whom he was in searcis ^ t round to the secretary of the Stock Excll * ' he wa | also refused any assistance , andf g „ , ' ot the office . —This evidence was coV nnfnieU : ** had been with the last witness . ~\ -f nejiffswer u was , that what had happened was \ - jnere Stock mxv .. lark amsng the young men , and hLd been construed by u , officer into an assault . It was als & submitted that the © ni cer had entered the building uncerL moniouslyyand had noft declared upon what authority he dito go , and had used very gross and insulting language . TlS W ahiDJr which was complained of was not confined to stay < yie individual , but was general . —Other charges were fkteri brought against four other persons , who were allegedfto have been engaged in the assault upon the officer . —Mr . Lewis , who appeared to prosecute , then said that , to sh * i > w there was no
vindictive feeling on the part of the / prosecution , he was instructed to say that if the accused apologized for their conduct , the judgment of the magistrate should not be applied for . —Mr . Ballantine considered that the offer was one which , under the circumstances , ought not to be rejected ; and Alderman Wire said fci was glad that tha learned counsel had exercised such at sound judgment on the occasion . He trusted that the investigation which had taken place would have tha effect of { or ever putting an end to a practice which was at variance with the character of the gentlemen who constituted the ? great body of tha members . It might have been his dqty , had not the compromise been effected , to hare dealt very seriously with the matter , either with a heavy sentence ! or by sending it to a higher tribunal . He , at the samcj-iime , must express hia strongest disapproval of the filthy language used by the officer , who , be was convinced , never would utter such words again , and whom he had long known as a most active and deserving member of the city police-force .
DARING ROBBERY . At the Southwark Police Court , Michael Ryan and John Ryan , two powerful-looking young men , were brought before Mr . A'Beckett , charge * with being concerned in maltreating Mr .
