U'Jhr O'Douerty . and O'Donohuc . He objected ' - partial system ^ hich had latelybeen v ^ J JgJ regar I to the ttcket-of-leare . men . ^^ flf regulation being interpreted to afford tbes 0 gentlemen every possible lemenc a ) 1 tfaese reguiations had been strained to co ^ lin ^ thea , tne } r re ctive districts . It was * ^ uite ciear from Sir "William Denisou ' s ovfn ' -m ^ uasc used in his dispatches ,

      that ho was » -, unwilling agent in carrying me clemency * of the Sovereign , and had he been allowed to folio-.-his own wishes , these gentlemen would Iwve bsen treated like the worst of convicts . Sir "William Denison seemed to regret that the colonists treated thes 3 gentlemen , not as offenders against the law , hot as fit objects for sympathy , because they were on that account the more ready to bear testimony to their good behaviour and help to make out the allegation that they had not violated the terms upon which the tickets of leave were granted to these gentlemen . According to the opinion of the best lawyers in the colony the ordinances that were sought to bo put in force against them bad long since been abrogated , and tbey could

      travel to any and every part of the colony without violating their parole , providing they did not attempt to make their escape . Even the police magistrates before whom they were carried entertained that opinion , and it wasniiimately arranged , as the law officers of the Crown appeared to be at variance with tbat opinion , that the offence should be overlooked , on condition tbat the alleged offenders ¦ would go and sin no more ; and yet the governor , disregarding aft former custom and precedent , bad thought fit to set tbat decision aside , and ordered xhese gentlemen to be degraded for three or four months . Such a stretch of authority was only jus . tillable in extreme cases , and even then it was only

      • resorted to where tbe decision of the constituted tribunals of justice were manifestly at variance ¦ with law and justice ; and then it was usual for the governor to remove the judges as well as reverse their decisions . The governor had not dared to go that length , for the magistrates who made thc compromise to which he referred were two of the best and most useful and valued public officers of the colony . But the reason which the Governor urged in justification of his conduct only made the matter worse . The Governor said he reversed the decision of the magistrates because he thought that the colonists betrayed too much sympathy for the con-¦ victa themselves . Mr . Hume seconded the amendment .

      Sir G . Gsev was unable to follow the hon . and learned gentleman through the whole of his statement , but the facts of this case were fully set out in a dispatch which , had recently been received from the governor , and they were contained in a very small compass . He confessed he could see nothing in these facts tbat should induce the house to pass a vote of censure on Sir William Denison , for he had done nothing more than his duty under the circumstances , while it would have been hig hly censurable in him bad he abstained from doing that which the hon . and learned member complained of . It should lie remembered that in doing what he did he was

      dealing with convicts who had been sent out from this country after having been found guilty of a most serious offence , no less , indeed , than high treason ; and it was on that account essentially necessary tbat strict discipline should be enforced . ( Hear , hear . ) The bon . and learned gentleman seemed to think tbat those persons were not subject to the usual regulations of ticket-of-leave men ; -tratas it really appeared that those gentlemen had acted in direct opposition to the usual regulations , lie was sure the house would not think that the hon . member was justified . iu proposing a vote of censure on the Lieutenant-Governor for the course

      which he had pursued in regard to them in depriving them of their tickets of leave . Mr . Heire thought that the hon . member had , perhaps , better withdraw his motion after the statement of the right hon . gentleman—the Secretary of State . Col . Ddsse was ofthe same opinion . After a few words from Sir Lucius 0 'BniEir iu reference to the dismissal of Captain Laffan who had been in charge of Mr . Smith O'Brien when he attempted to escape , The motion was negatived without a division .

      The Speaker then left the chair , and the house resolved itself into committee of supply on the naval estimates . The votes for naval officers , half-pay , and retiring allowances ( £ 718 , 667 ) was followed by a discussion npon tbe government proposition for organising a retired list , into which a certain number of lieutenants , commanders , and captains , who had not been employed afloat during tbe Last twenty years were to be drafted and placed npon permanent half-pay the active list being thus weeded of a large number of practically unavailable officers . Ultimately the vote passed , with tbe understanding tbat the new plan for retirement was to have a fair trial . Upon the second vote of £ 892 , 613 for naval stores , Mr . Hume proposed an amendment , cutting down the amount by one-third . On a division , the amendment was negatived by 10 S votes to 36—72 . The vote was then agreed to .

      Some following votes were passed , in tbe discussion of which the committee was occupied for some hours . The house then resumed , and adjourned at a quarter past one . FRIDAY , Jdsb 13 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Lord J . Russeil outlined the scheme of Chancery Reform which he had promised to lay beforthe house , for their acceptance . The plan was based upon the principle that the judicial and the political functions of tbe Lord Chancellor should be separated . It was , however , still intended that the Lord Chancellor should

      officiate as Sneaker of tho House of Lards , and preside in that , the highest court of appeal in the country . He intended to propose the appointment of two new judges , to be called Judges of Appeal , who were to perform the coadjutory functions originally designed for tbe Master of tbe Rolls and Vice-Chancellor , and who would enlarge tbe working staff of the Court of Chancery , and enable it to keep clear ofthe accumulation of arrears and long delays , by which the suitors were now so mich injured . After briefly detailing some contingent advantages that might be expected from his scheme . Lord J . Russell moved for leave to bring iu a bill in accordance with the plan be had hud down .

      After some discussion , leave was given to bring in the bill . Tbe house then went into Committee of Supply , when The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved a vote of £ 300 , 000 towards defraying tbe expense of the Kaffir war , prefacing the motion by a brief statement , showing that tbe expenditure bad hitherto fallen short of the sum anticipated . Mr . Adoerlex availed himself ofthe occasion to enter folly into South African politics , being precluded by form from moving an address , of which he had given notice , praying tbat her Majesty would bestow on the colony of the Cape of Good Hope the means of self-government . Lord J . Russell replied to Mr . Adderley , justifying tbe coarse pursued by the Home government , 'With reference to the subject of representative institutions and frontier policy .

      A long debate , extending to all parts of the qiestion , terminated—upon a declaration and qualified pledge by Lord John Russell that at the earliest practicable period a representative Government would be introduced at the Cape—by the affirmance of the resolution . Several bills were advanced a stage , other bills Wire allowed to be introduced , and the remaining husiness having been disposed of , the house adjourned at one o ' clock until Monday .

Broughton , charged mas -iseimess and violently assaulting Mr . Thof - " - tfl ' . is , Pavk-road , near the Hippodrome . Cap-. 1 Gordon Camming , the renowned African sportsman , in whose service the prisoner ia was in attendance during the proceedin * s . He was a finelooking man , with a tremendous pair of whiskers and mousiacbois , and is pdssesedof that " devil may care " cast of countenance which is well calculated , upon inspection thereof , to alter in no small degree the opinion formed by those with

      regard to the graphic description which he lias recently published to the world as to his statements as a destroyer of the strongest and most ferocious of animals , in a far and distant clime . — Tlie appearance of the prisoner was strange , and excited much attention in a crowded court . His height seemed to be about five feet . He had a nose perfectly flat—eyes sunken and wide apart , and a forehead remarkably low and projecting . —It appeared from the evtlencc of Mr . Ellis , tbat as he was walking towards Kensington Gardens , he saw the prisoner in a cab , the driver of which refused to carry him without being paid beforehand , as he was evidently very drunk . He ( Mr . Ellis ) stopped together with many other persons , owing to the altercation that had arisen , when the prisoner < jave him a

      violent blow with a stick , lie also struck other parties with great force . He was at tbat period in the vehicle , the window of which be had opened , lie suddenly made his exit by the door , and attempted to bite several persons , as also the nose of the cab horse , and after a most determined resistance , he was strapped down and conveyed to the station house npon a stretcher . He was then locked up , and while in the cell Inspector May was obliged to give orders for bim to be handcuffed . —The prisoner , on being asked what he had to say , replied tbat a gentleman had given him some ale and beer , which took eifect upon him all of a sudden . The African was fined 30 s ., which was paid by the Captain , and his servant was discharged .

      CLBRKENV 7 ELL . —Extessive Frauds . —James Adams and James Williams , alias Jane Bessie Adams , respectably dressed persons , were brought before Mr . Combe , in tbe custody of Sergeant Smith of tbe detective police , Scotland-yard , and Sergeant Edwin Bowles , of the constabulary police Gloucestershire , charged with having been concerned in numerous extensive frauds , under the pretence tbat they were Lord and Lady Villiers . — Lord Viscount Villiers , M . P ., was in attendance at an early hour , and was introduced to a seat on the bench . —The circumstances connected with the case are at present rery extraordinary and mysterious , and are briefly as follow ;—Tbe male prisoner , it appears , is the son of a highly respectable

      tradesman , carrying on business at Cirencester , Gloucestershire . Some time ago the prisoner absconded , leaving his wife and four children chargeable to the parish , and he was not heard of until be and the female were apprehended on this charge on Sunday morning at nine o ' clock , when documents were found , in their possession , the nature of which leaves no doubt that tbey have been carrying on a system of wholesale swindling . —A bill was for warded to No . 41 , Xortb-street , Manchester-square , directed to Lord Villiers , and it was returned to the Post Office , where it was subsequently forwarded to his lordship ' s real residence , 33 , Charles-street , Berkeley-square , and the gross imposition being discovered by bis lordship , he instantly

      communicated to tbe London police , and Sergeant Shaw , witmtlic assistance ot Sergeant Bowles , traced and apprehended both prisoners , under extraordinary circumstances . The side of bacon was forwarded to " Lord Villiers , " 2 fo . 41 , ISorth-street , Manchester-square , by tbe Great Western Railway , but his lordship not residing there , it was sent back to the railway . The prisoners must have been on the watch ' in order to discover that fact , for shortly after it had been returned the male prisoner drove up to the Great Western Railway station , and delivered a letter , the following of which is a copy — "Sir , —Some goods for Lord Villiers having been sent from Cirencester , Gloucester , and having arrived here on Saturday last , but , in consequence of a mistake being made in the number , it being 40 , North-street , Manchester-square , the goods were

      taken back to your office , I have sent tbe bearer for tbem , which you will have the goodness to deliver to him , and you will oblige yours respectfully , for his lordship , James Faulkner . 40 , Northstreet , Manchester-square . To the Great Western Railway Company . "—Lord Villiers held a long consultation with Mr . Combe and Mr . Mallett , the clerk , and it was eventually decided , as numerous instances of fraud bad been practised in Cirencester , Gloucestershire , that the prisoners should be conveyed thither to be examined by the magistrates of that place . —Mr . Combe asked them , if they wished to say anything ?—The male prisoner coolly replied , " 5 fo , nothing at present . "—Lord Villiers then left tbe court , and the prisoners , in the course ofthe day , were put into a cabriolet for the purpose of being ultimately conveyed by train to Gloucestershire .

      SwiMttiNe . —Charles Merfcon , alias Flash Charley , and George Staigb , alias George Mountford , who have undergone several examinations on extensive and numerous charges of swindling , were fully committed for trial . WESTMINSTER . — BRUm Assaults . — Peter M'Evoy and John Coil , labouring men , were charged before Mr . Burrell with being drunk , committing a series of brutal assaults , and fracturing thc leg of police-constable 'William Henley , who is at present an inmate of the Westminister Hospital . —Mr . Burrell ordered M'Evoy tofind bail , himself in £ 30 and two sureties'in £ 25 each , to answer for his re-appearance on Wednesday week , and Coil would be bound himself in £ 20 and find two sureities in £ 10 each , to appear on the same day . —The defendants were bailed out .

      THAMES . —Charge of Embezzlement . —William Cowley , a respectable-looking young man , 22 years of age " , was finally examined , charged with embezzling various sums amounting to about £ 3 , the monies of Mr . James Cantor , proprietor of the Lord Nelson public-house , Bromley . —The prisoner entered tbe service of Mr . Cantor a little more than a fortnight since . He boarded and lodged at the house , and bis wages were a guinea a month , and a halfpenny on every pot of beer he sold . His business was to visit Messrs . Maudslay's ( the engineers ) hulks and the other ships at Poplar , and supply beer to the labourers , and notwithstanding the liberality of his master he absconded on Saturday week with the above amount . He was apprehended on Wednesday ia the East India-road , when he coolly said , " Oh , its only a breach of trust ; I sold the beer , and got tho money . "—These cases were proved against the prisoner , and he was fully committed for trial .

      A Confirmed Smasher . —George Wardell , deseribed as a seaman , 28 years of age , lodging at the Ship lodging-honse , Wentworth-gtreet , was finally examined , charged with uttering three counterfeit shillings to tbe wife of George Husband , landlord of the Shakespeare ' s Head , Jubilee-street , Stepney . —On Saturday week , the prisoner , who must have lurked about the house some time , and watched his opportunity , entered the house when the landlady was alone , and , calling for three-halfpence worth of gio , tendered a bent shilling , which Mrs . Husband fancied was bad , but being afraid of giving the alarm , she gave him his change . Oa tho next evening he again went in whilst the landlady was alone , again he called for the same quantity of gin ,

      gave another bent shilling , and Mrs . Husband a second time gave him his change for the same reason as before . —On her husband coming home , she told him the occurrence , and both shillings wer « discovered to be bad . Mm . Husband then Ikept watch for the prisoner , and on Thursday last he again entered whilst she was alone , and calling for a glass of sixpenny ale , tendered a similar shining . She would again have given him his change had not her potman come in , who secured the prisoner , who was given into the custody of Clancy , to whom he said ho bad not been in the house for three weeks . Three other counterfeit shillings were found on him . —The prisoner was committed for trial .

At about twelve o ' clock on Wednesday , Sergeant Foay , a detective officer , So . 7 H , observed tbe prisoners in Cable-street , Whitechapel , going in a direction from the Tower . Wilcox was carrying a bag . Sergeant Foay followed , and saw Wilcox take a knife and a pair of scissors out of the bag , and give them to Harris . After proceeding » little further Wilcox left Harris and crossed over to a metal dealers . Foay then stopped him as he was entering the shop , and noticed that he had some brass cocks in tbe bag . Being in plain clothes ho called to Harris ,

      who thinking he was a friend , immediately joined bim . Wilcox said he had got some old brass ; that it was his own , and that he had had it along time . Foay asked Harris what account he had to give of the pincers and knife , to which be replied that they were bis own . At the station the sergeant found tbe axe ( produced ) upon Harris , and in the bag he found two brass taps , two brass handles , a brass tube , two brass nuts , and several pieces of brass . — Edw . Hogan ( employed in keeping tbe garden surrounding the Tower in order ) , stated that there was a tool house m the garden , of which he kept the Key , and tbe tools deposited there were in his charge .

      ° f Ki boots . The pincers and axe belonged to the Hoard , of Ordnance , and bore their marks . The two brass taps had been attached to the water butt , and the brass produced , which was broken up , had been attached to gutta percha tubes , and afterwards put on an engine . —The prisoners , who denied tbe charge , were committed for trial . LAMBETH . — The Egg-mrowing on the Oaks Da y . — Tuesday being the day on which the warrants granted against Messrs . Henry and Thomas Dimsdale the sons of Baron Dimsdale , and Captain Williams , ofthe Army and Navy Club , for the very aristocratic amusement of egg-throwing , Mr . Jarman , Mr . Watson , and others , who had been seriously assaulted , and had their clothes completely destroyed , attended to substantiate the charge . The defendants , however , did not think proper to maketlieir appearance , and Saunders ( the officer who held the warrants ) , upon being sworn , stated that

      he had been to the Army and Navy Club several times for tlie purpose of seeing Captain Williams , but was not successful . He had left word , however , that if he ( the captain ) did not attend before bis worship on that day , he should take the consequence of being locked up when apprehended , and preparatory to his being taken . before the magistrate at this court . He ( Saunders ) had also called at Xo . 10 , Bury-street , St . James ' s , for the purpose of seeing the Messrs . Dimsdale , but was told they were out of town . He , however , left a message at the club-house , that unless they attended before his worship on that day , they , too . would have to submit to the consequences of being taken up on the warrant , —Mr . Elliott has directed that the warrants , which are in the hands of Saunders and Sergeant Goff , should be executed without loss of lime ; and if the accused were put to any inconvenience by being locked up they had only themselves to blame .

      SOUTHWARK . — Robbert . — On Wednesday Mary Woodroffeand SarahMogs , her daughter , were placed at the bar before Mr . A'Beckett , charged with stealing fourteen sovereigns and a half , a gold watch and chain , a silver watch , together with several articles of jewellery , and also a season-ticket for the Exhibition in Hyde-park , the property of Mrs . Rawlings , a widow , residing in Mitre-street , Blackfriars-road . —The complainant stated that the prisoner and her daughter occupied apartments as lodgers in her house . That on Saturday evening last tbe complainant , accompanied by her granddaughter , left home between seveti and eight o ' clock , having carefully locked the doors of their own rooms before they left , and deposited the keys

      in the drawer of a wasbband-stand in the kitchen . They also closed tbe street door after them , leaping the two prisoners only in the house . When she and ber grand daughter returned in about an hour afterwards , they were surprised on finding the street door open ; and on entering the house found the doors of three of their rooms had been opened in their absence and ransacked of property . Silver spoons were found lying about on the floor of one ofthe rooms , and a small desk , which was kept in the back parlour , and which contained the money and articles of jewellery above mentioned , was discovered to have been opened and 1 he contents gone . Complainant upon this discovery proceeded at once to the apartment occupied by the prisoners

      and found the mother there , but the daughter was not then there , although she was in the house when the complainant left the house an hour before . On questioning Mary Woodroffe , after having communicated what had occurred during her ( complainant ' s ) absence , she in reply assumed to be ignorant of what had taken place ; and when asked if she did not hear any persons in the house , as considerable noise must have been made by the persons who had plundered the rooms , she said that she thought she heard a noise , but was not aware of what caused it . That her daughter ( the other prisoner ) had left the house shortly after complainant , and heard nothing of it . Soon after this conversation the daughter returned , and when she

      was informed of the robbery she expressed her surprise , and at this period complainant said she did not suspect either of her lodgers ' as the parties by whom she had been plundered . In reply to Mr . A'Beckett , the complainant stated that none of the locks of the doors had been forced , and that she found the keys in the place where she deposited them previously to going out . —The prisoners were accordingly remanded until Monday . GUILDHALL . —Attempted Suicide . —Elizabeth Astins , a girl about sixteen years of age , was placed at the bar , charged with swallowing a quantity of oxalic acid , with intent to commit suicide , — Mr . Simpson , a surgeon , residing in Fore-street , said he attended the prisoner , and on hearing

      that she had taken poison he administered an antidote with the view of making her vomit . There were symptoms ofthe presence of oxalic acid in her stomach , but not a large quantity . It had not had time to dissolve , or it would have proved fatal to ber . She had purchased some oxalic acid at his shop for the purpose of cleaning brass . His assistant cautioned her not to poison herself , and she laughingly replied that she did not intend to do so , and she was not yet tired of her life . She said she had quarrelled with her parents because they would not consent to her marriage with the man of her choice , who had three children , and ... had recently come out of prison himself . Witness remained with prisoner until her parents returned

      from market , and she was then sent to the hospital . —The Mother , who is the wife of a respectable printer at 90 , Fore-street , said that because the prisoner's father had refused to allow her to marry this man , who is more than double her age , and exercises great influence over her , she had repeatedly threatened to put an end to her wretched existence . —Alderman Lawrence told the girl that he had the power to send her to prison , but if she would promise to behave better , and refrain from any similar attempt upon her life , he would discharge her . — Tbe prisoner promised to go home and obey her father and mother in all things that concerned herself for the future ; and she was accordingly discharged . WORSHIP-STREET . —Mr . Dibdin Pitt , the

      dramatic author , who stood charged with having feloniously abstracted various articles of property from the furnished lodgings he had occupied at tbe house of Mrs . Lydia Moggeridge , in Old Gloucester-street , Hoxton , surrendered in discharge of hie recognic-ances for final examination . —On the case bein « called on , tbe prosecutrix entered the witness-box , and stated tbat she had no wish to proceed any further with the charge , and was anxious , with the consent of the magistrate , to abandon the prosecution . —Mr . Hammill said that under these circumstances , as no evidence whatever was offered in support of the charge , it only remained for him to

      order it at once to be dismissed . —Tho following donations have been received by the magistrate for Mr . Pitt , an acknowledgment of which was requested through the medium of the press : —Mary Lusignard , £ 2 ; Messrs , Thomson and Co ., £ 2 ; C . M . P ., in postage stamps , 8 s . fid . ; J . W ., 2 s . 6 d . ; and P . Q . R ., 10 s . Mr . Douglass , lessee of the Standard Theatre , also handed to the reporters the subjoined list of subscriptions which had reached . his hands : —Mrs . S .

Hammill with a murderous attack with a sword upon a man named John Harding , living in tbe same street , and who had sustained dangerous wounds in the head and other parts of his person . — Police-constable Whittaker stated , that white on duty in Shoreditch between eight and nine o ' clock on Monday evening a little girl ran up to him in a state of great excitement , and requested his immediate interference in an adjoining street , where a man , she said , was lying upon the pavement , bleeding to death from wound ' s inflicted by another man with a sword . He accordingly hastened to the spot indicated , where he found tho man Harding

      resting against a wall , the blood pouring down bis clothes from a frightful gash over the temple , and a similar wound on the back of the head ; and having been apprised by the bystanders that the injuries had been inflicted by the prisoner , who had retreated into his own house and barricaded the door , he demanded admittance and having with some difficulty effected an entrance , be found the prisoner in the passage , who , upon learning the nature of the charge against him , did not deny it , but alleged that he had acted in selfdefence . Witness then transferred the prisoner to the station-house , and directed the removal of the injured man to tho hospital , where be insisted , after his wounds bad been dressed by the surgeon , removedto

      nponbeing his residence ; witness had visited him there that morning , and found that , in addition to the wounds before described , he had received a stab with some sharp instrument over the region of the heart , in which he complained of excruciating pain , and he was evidently in a state of extreme suffering and danger . The constable pro . duced a certificate from Mr . Henry Ludlow , the house surgeon ofthe hospital , describing the nature ofthe injuries the man had sustained , and also exhibited the shirt worn by the prosecutor at the time , which was completely saturated with blood , and displayed a cut , which the officer represented as exactly corresponding in siie and position with the wound the man had received in the body —A la .

      bburmg man , named John Conolly , stated tbat while passing through Norfolk-street at tho time in question he saw the prisoner suddenly emerge from one of the houses with a drawn sword in bis hand , and advancing towards the man Harding , who was standing a few paces off , make a desperate blow with the weapon at the fore part of his head , which he dealt with such force as to bring him down upon his knees , and cause tbe sword to jerk out of bis hand . The prisoner , however , instantly recovered it , and renewed the attack by a second blow , which took effect upon the back of the man ' s skull , and stretched bim upon' the ground . " Several persons who bad witnessed the outrage immediately ran forward to secure the prisoner , but he managed to

      such an unmerciful manner as to attract tho attention of tho neighbours , who burst open the door and rescued him at tbat time from the hands of his assailant , but he had scarcely reached the street when the prisoner pursued him with tbe sword , and cut him down with the weapon iu the manner described . -In answer to the charge the prisoner repeated the statement ho had made to the the officer , and he was ordered to be remanded until that day week . to afford time for ascertaining the result of the injuries the man had sustained . of Macdonald

      Shocking Case Cruelty . —Lucy , a well-dressed woman , but of dissipated appearance was charged , at the instance of tho parish officers of Stepney , with scandalously neglecting and otherwise cruelly illtreating three children , who bad been placed under her care by their father , tho warder of tbe gaol at Dartmouth , in Devonshire . —It appeared from the evidence that for a considerable time past thc neighbourhood of the prisoner ' s residence in Quecn-etreet , Cambridgeroad , Mile-end , has been in a state of much excitement , in consequence of rumours that the prisoner was in the habit of most cruelly illtreating three children placed under her charge , one of whom , a little girl of eight years of age , had been lately

      seen in tho streets covered with nothing but rags , both her eyes swollen and contused , and other parts of her person presenting manifest indications of having been recently subjected to extreme personal violence . Tho excitement at length rose to such a pitch that the attention of the police was attracted to a mob of about 200 persons collected round the house , who displayed the greatest exasperation against the prisoner , calling her a second Mrs . Sloane , and declaring that they would burst open the door and teat ber to pieces . In consequence of these violent demonstrations Sergeant Smith and Mr . Seaborne , the relieving overseer , went to tho prisoner ' s house , and on entering a room on the ground floor they found Henry Brooks ,

      the eldest boy , and his sister Catherine , with a younger boy five years of age , and an illegitimate child belonging to the prisoner herself , all of whom presented tbe most filthy and wretched apppearanco , having scarcely anything upon them to cover their skins ; and it was elicited , upon questioning the first three children , that their father had left them under the care of the prisoner about nine months previously , when he was appointed to his situation at Dartmouth , but . that he had regularly Knitted to them from 17 s . to £ 1 per week for their maintenance . They stated , however , that the principal food the prisoner gave thorn was dry bread and a little tea , and that the prisoner was in tho habit of cruelly

      beating them , sometimes with tbe wooden roller of a blind , and sometimes with an instrument which the children called a heavy stick , but , on its being pointed out to the officer , he found it to be the bottom bar of a window frame . The little boy also stated that he had likewise another brother , about ten years old , who had been so cruelly beaten by the prisoner a few months before that he watched for an opportunity of escaping from the house , ran away and he had not seen nor heard of him since . The appearance of all tho children indicated that they were nearly in a state of starvation , and tho youngest child was in such an emaciated condition as to resemble a perfect skeleton , Having ascertained that the prisoner was in a room upstairs , he

      ( the sergeant ) proceeded there , and found her lying upon a bed in such a state of helpless intoxication that they bad some trouble in getting her down to the lower part of the house , where , in consequence of the threats of tbe infuriated mob surrounding the place , it was necessary to remove her through an adjoining house in tho custody of a person in plain clothes , or she would have been subjected to severe personal violence . The sergeant added , that he had ascertained from the oldest of the children , who complained that he had not tasted animal food for a fortnight , that the woman bad no excuse for her inhuman conduct on the gronnd of poverty , as she bad within that period received a draught of £ 410 s . from tbe father of her illegitimate child , an officer

      in the army stationed with his regiment at Malta , in addition to the usual remittance of 17 s . per week from their father . ( The sergeant produced the window bar referred to by . the children , which was a piece of wood about three feet in length , three or four inches in width , arid of proportionate thickness , )—The threo children , who had been taken under the care of the parish officers , were brought into court clothed in decent apparel furnished by the union authorities , and . the youngest child , five years old , being exhibited to the magistrate , bis half-starved and attenuated . appearance excited a feeling of indignant commiseration in every one present . To prove that this was not the natural condition of tho little creature a certificate

      was handed up to the bench from tho medical officer ofthe workhouse , stating that it was not labouring under any disease , but that the deplorable condition it presented was solely the result of the gross neglect or ill-treatment to which it had been subjected . Henry Brooks , tbe eldest , a boy stated to be fifteen , an intelligent but diminutive little fellow , was then examined , and stated that at the time his falher was obliged to go into the country , leaving them under the care of the prisoner , they were all provided with comfortable and sufficient clothing , but that his aunt , who was in tho habit of drinking very much , pawned the whole of their

      clothes in a very short timo after . They were in consequence kept closely confined indoors , and his little brother , from want of clothing , had not been out of doors for at least five moaths . They were chiefly fed upon bread and weak tea , and when they did have meat it was never more than once a week . The boy added , that after enduring this treatment as long as he could , he availed himself of an opportunity of secretly writing to his father , to apprise him of tbe prisoner ' s conduct towards them , in consequence of which he immediately wrote to the prisoner on the subject , but since then , to use tbe boy ' s own expression , " she has treated us worse and drunk more than ever . "

Peacock ) . — How many letters form the subject of the inquiry ?—Mr . Peacock : 2 . 142 .

      —Defendant : and I wish to examine every one of them . ( Laughter ) . —The Lord Mayor : You say you object to my jurisdiction ?—The defendant : Yes . I have several objections to offer . —The Lord Mayor : There is a concurrent jurisdiction . The Post Office authorities have the power of applying either to the Lord Mayor or tlie Sheriffs' Court . They have preferred the former , and I must proceed with the case , —The defendant : Then I hare to say that my debt , if I owe anything at all , exceeds £ 20 , and that fact takes tho business out of your lordship ' s bands . The amount they charge mo with being indebted to them is only £ 1715 s . Thoy cannot go for part of my debt . ( Laughter ) . —Tho Lord Mayor : I have nothing to do with any

      amount except that before me , which is claimed by tho government . —The Defendant : Perhaps your lordship would like to take time to consider my objections . ( Laughter ) . —Tho Lord Mayor : There is no occasion for any postponement . —The defendant : then I plead not guilty . —Mr .

There were-refusals , 1 , 342 ; partiesnot found , GO ; and parties dead , 177 . ( Laughter . ) Th whole amount is £ 1715 s ,, and that amount is due by him . —The defendant : Now I want to examine every one of those letters . —The Lord Mayor -. It is

      for mo . to administer the law if I am satisfied irith the evidence . I am perfectly satisfied with it , and it is my duty to order you to pay the money . —The defendant : I plead poverty . 1 have no money . — The Lord Mayor : Have you goods enough in the City to be a satisfaction for the debt ?—The defendant : I cannot say that exactly . I wish to bo allowed six months for thepajment , and then to be allowed to pay by instalments . ( Laughter ) . —The Lord Mayor : is there any objection to give bim fourteen days ?—Mr . Peacock : No ; but we know that the interval would be occupied in posting more letters . — Tho Lord Mayor : Then the money must be paid in seven days . I cannot help feeling for an aged man , who thus obstinately trangresses . —The defendant on leaving the justice room , said that he would try to get the money and discharge the debt which it was pretended was due .

      prisoner lodged , and found in a chest of drawers , a number of railway parcel-tickets , and a parcel addressed to Mr . Thies , 3 , City-road , the wrapper of which corresponded with the one produced , and from which it seemed to have been torn . The prisoner had been in thc service of Messrs . Chaplin and Home , who transact business for tbe Brighton Railway Company , and within the last few days several other such parcels had been returned to tbe offices of tho company , which led to the suspicion that the prisoner was in the habit of practising such frauds to a considerable extent . —The prisoner offered bail for bis appearance at a future day , which was refused , and he was ordered to be remanded . —Reuben Harwood , described as a lithographic printer , and brother-in-law of tbe last

      prisoner , was subsequently charged with practising similar frauds . — Elizabeth Sternby , the housekeeper at 52 , Lincoln ' s-inn-fiields , stated that on Friday evening the prisoner called with a parcel purporting to be from the Brighton Railway , and directed to a gentleman occupying chambers .

      prisoner , who lived in tho same house with tho other , and found in hia bed room a parcel directed and made up in such paper as the other , with a quantity of printed tickets belonging to the Brighton Railway Company , the handwritting on tho outside corresponding with the direction of the one delivered by the other prisoner . —Remanded .

      France , twithout the signature of a London magistrate having been obtained to a declaration , certifying that they did not contain articles which had been previously published in French journals . He requested , therefore , tbat Mr . Henry would attach his signature to a certificate he produced , drawn up in a legal form , and in conformity with the terms required . Mr . Henry said he would not undertake to promise so much . He had no ob \ ection to certify that applicant , in his presence , had aworn to observe the conditions enforced . A form was then drawn up according to the terms mentioned by Mr . Henry , who then attached his signature .

      MARLBOROUGH - STREET . - Outrage bi a ' Soldieh . — Joseph Griffiths , one of the Foot Guards , was brought up for final examination , charged with having violently assaulted the police . —Police-constable Gray was on duty in the Park about ten o ' clock on Monday night last , when he heard the cries of a woman for help . He ran to the spot , and found the prisoner getting up from a young woman whom he had thrown on the ground , and had attacked , evidently with the intention of committing a capital offence . As soon as witness came up , the young woman—who appeared to be a servant of a decent class—cried out , " Thank God ! I am glad some one has come to my assistance . " Witness proceeded to take the soldier into custody , upon which five of his comrades came to his assistance , and rescued bim from custody . Witness

      sprung his rattle . Another constable named Pritchard came up , and was kicked severely by the prisoner . The prisoner took off his belt and struck furiously right and left , injuring the other constable severely with the brass ornament . The young woman made her escape as soon as witness went in pursuit of the prisoner , after he had been rescued by his comrades . —The prisoner , who received a good character from his sergeant , made no defence . —Mr . Bingham said there was very little doubt that the prisoner would have perpetrated a dastardly outrage on the young woman , but for the fortunate interference of tbe police . The prisoner had then proceeded to commit a violent assault on the constables , one of whom had been so injured as to be obliged to keep his room , Tho case was one which called for a severe example , and he should therefore send the prisoner to the House of

      Correction for two months . Gentlemanly Amusements . — Josiah Robinson and Thomas Bacon , described on the charge-sheet as gentlemen , residing at the Bedford Hotel , Covent Garden , were brought before Mr . Bingham charged with being drunk , and assaulting policeconstable Boyce , 181 C—The constable stated that about half-past twelve on the previous night he was on dnty in the Haymarket , when he saw a cab drive up amongst tho carriages which were waiting to take up at the Opera . He told the cabman to drive on and not obstruct the way , when the defendant Robinson , who was in the cabcalled out

      , , " Leave him alone , you , stop till I pay him , " Witness then took hold oftho horse ' s head for the purpose of removing the cab , when Robinson got out and collared bim ; a scuffle ensued , and Robinson fell to the ground . Witness then took , him to the station . On their way there the defendant Bacon came behind him and annoyed him so much by treading on his heels , that when they arrived at the station-house ho was locked up also . They were both very drunk . —Mr . Bingham fined Robinson 10 s ., and the usual drunkards' fine of 5 s , was inflicted on Bacon , with a caution as to their future behaviour .

Genese ' s Coffee-house , 125 , Jermyn-street . —Mr . Genese stated that about five o ' clock Thursday morning the two defendants came into his house with two others , and called for some refreshments . Seeing they were intoxicated he refused to serve them , and desired them to leave tbe house . They declined doing so , and Litton sparred up to bim in a fighting attitude , and struck him , and said he would stop there and fight him . Complainant then ran out for a constable , and when he returned Wilson took a seat in the corner ,

      and swore ho would not leave until he had some coffee . Witness then took him by the arm , and again requested him to leave , and as they both still persisted in remaining , he gave them in charge . — The defendants , who denied tbe charge of drunkenness m toto , were ordered to enter into their own recognizances to keep the peace towards the complaiuant for three months .

      COTTON . Manchester , June 10 The market for cotton jam and cloth continues to exhibit some signs of improvement , and more cheerfulness pervades it generally . There continues te be a good business in 40-inch low shirtings , suitable for the east , and ' some fair orders have been given out , which have favourably affected spinners as well as manufacturers of cloth . In some cases thc producers of these gsods , having had to become purchasers of cop yarn , and svivtaWe qualities of So . 30 's to 40 ' s being scarce , they have had to give an advance of from Id to id per ID . above the rates ruling at the close of last week . The advance arises entirely out of the scarcity of these descriptions , and irrespective of the state of the cotton market . Water twist has been bought up extensively for warps , and is hardening in price from tbe same cause , Under these circumstances many of our spinners are well enough engaged to be rather shy of binding themselves by further contracts ; but the improvement is not general , and shipping numbers of twist have not altered from former quotations , Light domestics continue in improved demandas well as

      , shirtings , and a Uuie busineis is doing in ymutvag ctolhs , but generally speaking at last quotations .
