KMigatta of ito « b » te «** *• ft ^ ryi'C * ! " ^ * & 2 ^>^& $ Fi 'S were copied from tbe Lunatic Asy lum Bill , r meSte introduced to remedy ascertaine d abuses . In any case of forcible detention » vrrit of habtas corpus afforded a prompt aud easy " *™?« After some further discussion the house diviueu . the bill was rejected by 123 against 91- . . lnnt The house adjourned at a quarter to six o ciock .
THURSDAY , May 15 . HOUSE OF LORDS -After carrying a fewMs through a stage of progress r ^ Ai 0 g lordships adjourned at ten minutes to «* ° ™* - __ Hfi & B k COSjyjjrSSd SS " the tSl Ibe " ccl & Li Titles Bill having teen renewed , the adjourned debate upon Mr . Moore s amendment was resumed by _ ,.,,, Mr " - CCM . T w . » . o inferred from tne siJeace of the sovernroent on tbe point that the enactments of the proposed law were to be strictly enforced , although many of those contained iu the act of 1 & 29 were allowed to become obsolete , so far as the assumption of territorUltitles by thecatbolic hierarchy wasconcerned . He examined the tenor of the bill , in order to show how serious were its interferences with the spiritual functions of the prelates and clergy of the catholic church . Mr . Weog-Pkosser contended at great length that
the lull was aimed at an imaginary grievance . Mr . Campbell submitted to the Irish members that they were wasting upon a vague and general proposition the arguments they could more effectually employ in supporting the amendment in conimittee , by which Ireland would be exempted from tbe scope of the measure . Mr . Trelawst , as a sincere friend of the government , intended to oppose the bill , believing that their troubles would greatly increase if ever they -were called upon to administer the measure . Mr . P- Howard declared that the alleged feeling ¦ upon which the present measure was founded was partial and factious . Public opinion would be found not to be with the government on this subject if it were fairly ascertained .
Mr . Kethoujs repudiated toleration , declaring that it was aa infamous p hrase to use among Britons . It was the echo of a quarrel which had lasted for centuries , and represented the tyranny practised by the Protestant over the Catholic ancestors of the existing generation . In Scotland there had been bishops appointed just as illegally as were the new prelates nominated by the Pope , yet the law had winked at the infraction . The arguments iu favour of the bill were based upon a view of the Catholic character which , if true , would show that they had never been fit for emancipation . The honourable . member enlarged upon the severity of the bill now menaced , quoting the authority of eminent lawyers to support his assertion that it would practically repeal the Catholic Relief Act , and put an end to the Catholic relig ion in the country .
Mr . Whitesidc , in a maiden speech , regretted that the politics and the history of Ireland presented so few points on which it was pleasant to dwell . Briefly tracing the new relationship established in England between the Catholic body and the State hy the Papal rescript , he passed on to consider the conditions under which Catholics and Protestants had existed together in Ireland . Untillately many improvements were visible . Tbe admission of Catholics to Dublin University had soothed religious dissensions , and sent forth many men of eminent talent who did honour to theirfaith and country . Iu the earlier stages of the project for establishing the new colleges , a cheering prospect of union was held out . But after sketching the state of affairs up to
this pout , tbe hon , member described the foreshadowings of encroachments from Rome , beginning with thesppointment of Dr . Callen as . Archbishop of Armagh , by Which the rights of the Irish Catholics were violated , and leading to the Synod of Thurles , hy whose manifesto not only the provincial colleges , bnt every educational establishment , where Protestants and Catholics were equally admitted , had been totally interdicted . Declaring that tbe appointment of Dr . Cullen , tbe publication of the Pope ' s bull , and the summoning of tbe Synod of Thurles were all illegal , he charged the government with neglect in not having taken formal steps to prove their illegality . Chief in fault was the Lord-lieutenant , who had belied the anticipations that had
secured him a favourable reception npon his first entrance into office from the Protestants « f Ireland . Lord Clarendon had recognised the territorial and lordly titles assumed by the Catholic bishops , and given advice under which the prelates of that faith were given equal rank with the Protestant bishops in . the colonies Addressing himself to some of the arguments urged against the bill on the score of the hostility it might provoke , the hon member denied that the Irish Catholics formed so overpowering & majority of the population , or would be so vehemt-nt in their wrath as bad been threatened . - The Protestants , he affirmed , were unanimous and eager insupportng the measure .
The Loss Advocate , expressing tbe state of feeling- in Scotland , believed that in that part of the United Kingdom , great indignation was experienced at the act ont of which the bill had arisen , mingled with great regret that such a measure should have been found necessary . There could bo no doubt that an act of aggression had been committed . An attempt was made to revive an hierarchy which had "been for many centuries dormant , and thus arose ¦ 3 . general sense of tbe necessity , among the people Of this country , to resist an attempt bearing in their eyes the threat of Italian domination . Alluding to the arrogant language of tbe rescript , he contended that acquiescence or silence under it would have encouraged further enereachments ,
and rendered foture defence more difficult . "Rever ting to Scotland , he observed that if little excitement existed there in consequence of the act , it was because the people held papal aggression less in dread ; but that while they were becoming more tolerant , they were not less protestant than heretofore . Mr . Cecil Lawless having moved the adjournment of the debate , a confused and vehement discussion followed , in tbe course of which Lord J . Rclsell , referring to the thirteen nights already occupied with the debate , submitted that it ¦ was quite time to come to a vote . The motion for adjournment was however pressed to a division , when there
appeared—For adjourning the debate ... 46 Against 359-313 Mr . Fox renewed the motion for adjournment , to which Lord J . Russell assented , and the debate was therefore ordered to stand for this evening . The remaining business was disposed of , and the house rose at two o ' clock .
FRIDAY , Mat 16 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The house adjourned at an early hour after despatching some unimportant business . HOUSE OF COMMONS . — Ecclesiastical Truss Assdupxiox Bill . —The debate on going into committee uton this bill , which stood adjourned ¦ until this day , was not resumed , but upon the question that the Speaker leave tbe chair a division immediately took place , when tbe question was carried by 116 against 35 . and the house went into committee upon tbe bill . The first proposition put by the Chaibmas , that the preamble bs postponed , was met by a motion worn Mr . Kkooh , that it be taken first , which led to » discussion of some length , embracing the object of the measure , iu provisions , and the proposed Amendments of the bill .
Mr . Disraeli , who declared that under no circumstances would be consent to apply legislation Upon the subject to England , which was not applied to Ireland , added that he objected to the bill as it Btood , which did not assert a princi ple , but contained a clause of petty penal legislation , and that he should support any amendment which would attempt to cope with the difficulties requiring this legislation , and the reasons for it , making the bill % retaliatory act , to vindicate the national honour , baffle conspiracy , and assert the came of civil and reli gions liberty . Lord J . Russell concurred in some of the remarks of Mr . Disraeli , and signif ying the views of the government with respect to the proposed amendments , he suggested that the bill should b « «> mmitted pro forma , to be re-committed on Monday , in order tnat the bill might be in the meantime ¦ Kpnnted in the form to which the government intended to adhere . This suggestion was ultimately adopted . vSSu ^ adj onmedat 4 B « tor to eight o clock

Expatriated Patriots. On Wednesday Ereni...
DESECPATIOS OF THE SHARP , WILLIAMS , AXD IUXSHARD MONUMENT . TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —In i .. v capacity of undertaker , I had occasion to superintend the funeral of a departed friend , at tlie Victoria . Park Cemetery , in which 13 deposited all that was mortal ot my late patriotic colleague , Alexander Sharp , whoso dust mingles in . tecay with that of po or Joseph Williams and young Henry Banshard . Not having viewed the quiet retreat wherein repose the ashes of those lamented martyrs since my liberation from the Whig dun-1 seoii , " I felt anxious to gaze with reverence on the "rave of murdered freedom .
As 1 approached the spot , with a reflective and melancholy silence which the solemnity of the scene would have inspired in less ardent minds than mine , looking towards the monument raised by the toiling masses to the memory of those they delighted to honour , I beheld with sorrow , from the disarranged state of the pedestal on which proudly rested the cap of liberty , as a mournful warning , pointing to the coming and inevitable doom of despotism , th . it the hands of some ruthless villain had maliciously wrenched off the emblem adopted by the burning thoughts that once breathed within tbe now lifeless clay calmly sleeping beneath . I was told by one of my attendants " that on Sunday week the cap of liberty had been stolen . " In indignation I smiled at the pigmy spirit that could actuate my fellow-man in the nineteenth century to the perpetration of an act so base—so contemptible—sis the wilful demolition of a noble testimony erected to commemorate the pure and
unsullied patriotism of the real friends of the industrious classes of our common country . For this act of wanton outrage the public will naturally hold the directors responsible , yet I am convinced that neither themselves nor any official connected with the cemetery would for a moment countenance such diabolical wickedness . It is , nevertheless , the imperative duty of every right-minded man to take up this matter at once : let deputations be forthwith formed for the purpose of conferring with the managers , and induce those gentlemen to use prompt and vigorous means of detecting the guilty parties . The detective police are very expert , and at the command of the directors ; let them employ some ol the most acute , who will soon sift this affair to the 1 bottom . The people ' s property has been destroyed ' The sanctity of the dead is violated !—and without redress the public will begin to think there is no safety within the precincts ot cemetery dominion . Is there no protection for a Chartist , dead or alive ? We shall see ! Yours fraternally , J . Shaw , Undertaker
Brompton County Court. Baker V. Fox And ...
BROMPTON COUNTY COURT . Baker v . Fox and Another . —The Great Exbibitioh . In this case the plaintiff , a journeyman painter , sued the defendants , Messrs . Fox and Henderson , the contractors for the erection of the Great Exhibition , Hyde-park , for the sum of 7 s . lid ., balance of wages alleged to he due . Plaintiff's solicitor said that although the sum sued for was small in amount , the proceedings were instituted on principle , involving nearly eighty similar claims , the claimants wishing to understand whether a fair day ' s work was . not equivalent to a fair day ' s wages . . Mr . Hall , cashier to the defendants , admitted that the plaintiff had been employed in the building of the Exhibition , but not by tbe defendants . There had been 2 , 000 workmen at the
building , in each department of which sub-contractors had been deputed , the painting being allotted to a Mr . Robson , who , if anybody , washable for the demand now set forth . He had understood that all the painters were engaged at the fixed wages of 4 * . per day . Plaintiff : No such thing ; Mr . Robson agreed to give us each sixpence an hour for ten hours' work daily . —Judge : Then you did enter into a contract with Mr . Robson?—Plaintiff : only as foreman , in which light he was looked upon , and as such was paid by tbe defendants , from whom he received a certain weekly salary as their servant . —Mr . Mayo : At the time of being employed Mr . Robson told him
that the defendants were to be his paymasters . Mr . Robson was not present . —His Honour observed that tbe question was of tbe greatest importance to masters and workmen , and required thorough investigation . In the construction of railroads sub-contractors employed the workmen , but still it did not follow that the same plan was adopted at the Crystal Palace . He could not go further into the case without examining Mr . Robson , for whose attendance he should adjourn the hearing till the next court day . —Adjourned accordingly . The court and its environs were thronged with anxious artisans .

Murder In Cheshire.—On Wednesday An Adjo...
murder in Cheshire . —On Wednesday an adjourned inquest was held at the Griffin Hotel , Mottram . Cheshire , on the bodies of" two children named Sarah Ann Barcroft and Ellen Mills , supposed to have died from poison administered by Jonathan and Ruth Barcroft , the parents of Sarah Ann Barcroft . ( The evidence in this case will be found in the sixth page . ) While Jonathan Barcroft was in the lock-up at Hyde , he appeared so much disturbed in mind that , according to his gaolers they were afraid to trust him alone ; they therefore put a man into the lock-up with him , named William Lee , an assistant bailiff , to take care of him . In the course of conversation with Lee , Barcroft said he had buried the papers containing
the poisons on the way to his work , and concerted a plan with him for obtaining some more arsenic at Potter ' s print works , which his ( Barcroft ' s ) brother was to get placed in Mills ' s coat pocket at the works , so as to throw the susp icion of murder on Mills . The jury , after retiring a short time , found a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Jonathan Barcroft , who has been committed to Chester Castle for trial at the next summer assizes . Ruth Barcroft , the wife , after being in custody upwards of a week , has been set at liberty . Aw * rap Mblancholt Death , oi 1 Soucitob . — At ten o ' clock on Tuesday nignfc the police-constable on duty found in the garden of Mr . Deal ' s house , 62 , Euston-square , a gentleman lying in a state of insensibility , having on his person a gold watch and a large amount of property . Near him alio lay his carpet-bag . The police without delay conveyed the unfortunate gentleman to the St .
Panoras workhouse , where he died in a state of insensibility at four o ' clock on Thursday morning . Upon examining his papers , and upon further inquiry by Mr . Eaton , it appeared that the unfortunate deceased is Mr . Charles Foalkes , solicitor , of Leicester , aged thirty six , and that he had come to town to . consult on some law business Mr . W . Sanger , of Essex-court , Temple , with whom he lunched , and after that took leave of aim in apparently the best health and spirits . Oa his way to the Eustonsquare station he visited another friend near the square , and after parting with him waa not heard of until he was found by the police . Mr . Foulkes has left a widow and an orphan to deplore his melancholy and untimely end . —On Friday Mr . Wakley held an inquest on the body .

Marlborcjugh-Street.-A Captain Committed...
MARLBORCJUGH-STREET .-A Captain Committed for . Horsewhipping a Policeman . —Capt . Paulet B . enry Somerset , of the Coldstream Guards , wasbr- ought before Mr . Havdwick , charged with having horsewhipped Police-constable 'Griffin , ono of the constables stationed at the Great Exhibition . —Police-constable Grifiin said he was stationed , with other constables , in the carriage-road leading to the Exhibition / orders having been issued by the commissioners in writing to allow no carriages in I that road , but to obli ge all vehicles to go up Rot-1 ten-row . About three o ' clock that afternoon he saw the defendant driving a phaeton and a pair ol horses up the road at a rapid pace . He was then
thirty or forty yards from the carriage , and he was immediately signalled to the defendant to go back by holding up his hands . The defendant took no notice of the signal , and he called out to him there . was no thoroughfare for carriages up that road , and that the defendant must go up Rotten-row . The defendant whipped his horses , upon which witness caught hold of the reins , and then received a dozen blows from the whip in the defendant ' s hand over his head and shoulders . The defendant called OUttO him to let go the horses , to which he replied , "No : you cannot go up this road . " Witness , however , did let go the reins , as he feared the carriage would upset , as it was almost on the bank , and then the defendant whipped , his horses into a full gallop ,
and tried to get away ., The defendant , however , was stopped by the horse patrol . The defendant in his flight dropped a horsecloth from the phaeton . The blows with the whip were given over the face and shoulders . About four lashes fell on his face , drawing blood slightly . —The Defendant : Did I not say to you I was not going to the Exhibition ?—The Constable : I did not hear you say a word . —Mr . Hardwick asked the constable if his orders applied to all carriages , whether going or not to the Exhibition?—The constable said Ihe orders applied to all carriages ; not one was to be permitted to pass up the road . —Police-constable Hornsby was on duty in the same road . Saw the constable hold up his hands to the defendant , at the same time calling out
that no carriages were allowed m that road . The defendant paid bo heed to the warning , and ffhen the horses ia the phaeton were laid hold of , he began lashing the constable with ' his whip over tho head and face . The defendant then galloped his horses as bard as be could up the road . —The constable stationed at Kensington-gate said the defendant drove into tbe park , too suddenly for him to do more than call out to him , he could not go that road . As there were stones on that part of the road , it was possible the defendant did not hear whatwassaid . Fiudingthedefendantwasproceeding up the road at a galloping pace , witness signalised to the police-constables further on to stop him and turn him back . —The defendant said he did not know the nature of the orders issued by the police .
He had driven along the same road the previous day without interruption , and he was not aware he could not do so that day . He denied his horses were going faster than . at a trot . The constable seized the reins and nearly threw one of the horses , a young horse , on its haunches . Fearing the horse would kick , he desired the constable to let go . The constable would not , and he lost his temper and struck him , He considered he had not met with that courtesy from the police which a gentleman was entitled to expect . —Robert Madder , defendant's groom , was called for the defence . His master ' s horses were trotting , not galloping , when the policeman laid hold of the reins . Before that his master called out that he was not going to the Exhibition . —Mr . Hardwick ( to the defendant ) : It matters very little whether the warning given by the police-constable at Kensington-gate was seen or not . Two other constables signalled you , and
then , whether gentleman or coachman , it was your duty to pull up at the instant . Instead ot doing this you drove on furiously , and paid no attention to the constable . —Defendant : I should have stopped if treated with proper civility . —Mr . Hardwick : If officers exceed their duty there ia an easy remedy by complaint to tbe commissioners or to a magistrate . I own I am surprised that an officer in her Majesty ' s service should not have set a better example of obedience to those in authority . Constables must be protected in their duty , and examples must be made of all persons who obstruct or injure them when on duty . You will go to the House of Correction for ten days . —Defendant- . House of Correction 1 Pray allow me to pay a fine , I trust you will consider your decision over again . Such a sentence will probably oblige me to leave my regiment . I will pay any fine you may inflict * —Mr . Hardwick : No ; I decline to make any
alteration in the sentence . The law knows no distinction of persons ; and there are are no circumstances of mitigation in your case , as you from your position ought to have get an examp le of obedience to those in authority . —Captain Somerset was then removed to the lock-up cells , evidently in a state of most uncomfortable bewilderment . A Prussian Officer Masquerading . —A person who gave the name of Frank Simson , and who was described on the police sheet as a "Prussian officer , '' and John Daniel , gentleman , were charged with creating a disturbance in Berwick-street . —The constable stated that he saw the Prussian officer
about ten 0 clock , dressed as a female , in company with a female dressed as a man , followed by a crowd of about 500 persons . By taking refuge in a shop they escaped the crowd , and in an hour or two afterwards , witness saw the same Prussian officer in company with the other defendant , followed by another crowd , which had been collected by their disorderly conduct . To prevent further harm he took them to the station-house . —The Prussian officer said he had been to the masquerade , and for a joke had changed . clothes with a woman . —Mr . Hardwick told the Prussian officer such doings were not permitted in the streets of London . If the offence were repeated , he should deal with the defendant very severely . —A small
fine only was then inflicted , which was paid . Threatening Language . —M . Corquin , residing at No . 32 , Lisle-street , Soho , was summoned for using threatening language to Mr . 0 . . Benzoni , 17 , Duke-street , St . James ' s-gquare . —Mr . Benzoni had been secretary to a society called " The Society of Interpreters , " but had recently resigned the office , and his accounts would show the society indebted to him in a small balance . An impression , however , had been created that Mr . Benzoni . was indebted to the society , and in consequence the complainant had been continually annoyed by the defendant and others demanding of him , in no very courteous terms , the return of their subscriptions . Mr . Benzoni had been sued in tbe county court by one of the members , and it had been decided that
he was in no way . liable ; but the defendant and others , not duly impressed with the non-liability of complainant , were disposed to insult him on all occasions . —Mr . Fisher ( who appeared for the complainant , ) said he was desirous only that defendant should enter into his own recognisance not to repeat the insult and threat he had been guilty of . — Mr . Hardwick said he must do so . —The defendant said as far as he was concerned he would , but there were eighty-five members , who would still insult the complainant whenever they met him . —Mr . Hardwick said if they did the whole eighty-five must go to prison . If the complainant was indebted to the society there was a proper course to pursue to bring him to an account . Mr , Hardwick then bound the defendant over in £ i 0 to keep the peace for three months .
Robbery Prevented . —Emanuel Wright was charged with having contemplated a robbery at No . 12 , Soho-square . William Yeldham , footmas to Mr . Hayes , said about ten o ' clock on Wednesday night while in the passage he heard the lock of the street-door turn , and immediately afterwards the prisonsr pushed the street-door open quietly and came in ; but being rather surprised at seeing wit r ness he hesitated for a moment , and on being asked his business he said he wanted to know if Mr . Thompson was at home . On receiving a reply that Mr . Thompson did not live there he walked out , but witness having his suspicions , in consequence of the house having been entered by thieves before , went after him and gave him into custody . —Police-constable Chamberlayne said he saw the prisoner throw away something which proved to be a
latchkey while going to the station-house . He found several latch-keys and skeleton-keja in the possession of the prisoner , one of which opened Mr . Hayes streetdoor . The prisoner ' s defence was that he met a person who gave him the latch-key , and told him to go to No . 12 , Soho-square , and give a message to one Mr . Thompson . —Mr . Bluebam committed the prisoner as a rogue and vagabend for three months . MARYLEBONE . —FilSB Character . - Daniel Macdonald was brought up by Cook , 402 D , charged with having endeavoured by means of a fictitious character to obtain a situation as under butler to Stbastian Smith , Esq ., 1 , Connaugbt-place . Evidence clearly establishing the prisoner ' s guilt was gone into , and he was fined 4 J 20 , and in default of payment three months' hard labour in the House of Correction .
GREENWICH .-LsoKcssr Assault . - Samuel Miller , schoolmaster of the Greenwich Union , was charged , by direction of the board of guardians with indecently assaulting four boys , bis pupils ! Tbe accused had admitted the troth of tbe principal charges , and after the reception of some of the evidence , was remanded . MANSION-HOUSE .-A Dutch Robbkrt .-Moses Jenneydu Gerrit , Van du Louver , Jantse Van Vlojenenj and Moses Andrieg , were brought up in custody of Henry Isaacs , the constable to tha Committee of Bankers , for re-examination before the Lord Mayor , upon the charge of baring ' had in their possession a . number of Dutch bonds amounting in value to £ 2 , 500 which had been stolen at Amsterdam , from the house of Francis Schaker and Co ., of that city , merchants . —The solicitor for the prosecution produced a Dutch officer of police , who proved that a robbery of bonds had
Marlborcjugh-Street.-A Captain Committed...
taken place at Amsterdam , and that the list produced by the police agreed with that of the stolen nronerty . Upon this evidence he asked for a remand The Lord Mayor was of opinion that as the robbery had been committed abroai , and there was no proof that the rightful owuer of the property had ever held possession tjf it & th < g couniry > he had no jurisdiction in % l 9 mse , and discharged the accused . The pvoT & rty remains in the hands of the police , the Lord . Mayor refusing to make any order concerning its ' disposal . Ax Impostor . —Mary Williams , who has for a leupth of time been known as a common impostor , was brought up'in tho custody of a policeman . —A clerk in tho employment of Mr . Ebenezer Saunders , the salesman , said the woman came to me at the
counting-house , apparently very large in the . fam . ilyway , and asked for Mr . Saunders , of whom she said she wished to beg assistance . She seemed to me to be in such a state that the event would actually take p lace upon the spot , and I thought she would fall down , and I begged her to he seated , and , as Mr . Saunders was not there , I offered to do her any service . She refused to sit down , appeared to be exhausted with pain , and at last asked me for Is . 6 d . to fit her out for the Lying-in Hospital . I immediately gave her the money , and I offered . to go f or any assistance she " might require . The moment she received the money she said " God is good , " and appeared to be in still greater agony , but she'declined any other kind of assistance , and
she went away . It occurred to me that if I followed her a little way I might learn something , and I accordingly did so . 1 saw her join another woman near the Flower-pot public-house , but she did not any more seem to be in any great want of medical treatment . Soon after I got to the counting-house in walked the very woman who had . joined the prisoner to ask for pecuniary assistance , and pretended to be in the same , critical condition in which the prisoner showed herself . The woman said she wanted half-a-crown to get a new certificate of her marriage , to entitle her to admission to the institution ; but when I gave her to understand that I suspected her , she suddenly opened the door and walked away . I assure your lordship that the
prisoner p layed the part of a woman in the last stage of pregnancy so well that I expected every instant that tbe occurrence would take place . —The Lord Mayor ,: Oh , you need not take the trouble to speak of her talents in that way . We have had her here before . She could make any one ' s heart bleed . The Prisoner : I assure your lordship there is a mistake here . It is true I have been pulled for something of the kind more than once , but I am not the offending party in this business . —Tho Lord Mayor : What was my sentence upon you the ast time you were here for imposition ?—The
Prisoner : Fourteen days . —The Lord Mayor : And what the time before?—The Prisoner : Fourteen days . The Lord Mayor : And what the time before that ?—Tho Prisoner : Fourteen days . ( Laughter . ) —The Lord Mayor : Now the character of the imposition you have practised upon this gentleman is atrocious . It is out of the power of any human being not to feel deeply for a female in the state in which you pretended to be . I now sentence you to imprisonment and hard labour for three calendar mwthB . —The prisoner said she would never try it on again if his lordship would stick to the old sentence ; and was conveyed to prison .
The Omnibus Nuisance , —Elsdon Thomas , the conductor of a hackney omnibus , was summoned before the Lord Mayor by Mr . Proudfoot , of Norfolk Chambers , Strand , under the following circumstances : —The Complainant ; I got into the omnibus in the Strand , for the purpose of going to Hackney . On arriving at the Royal Exchange the omnibus stopped for ten minutes . It then went on to Threadneedle-street , and stopped for about three minutes . The conductor got down at the Hall of Commerce , I then complained of the frequent stoppings , and he tapped the side of the omnibus , a notice to the driver , and it again moved on , but the horses merely walked till we arrived at the Flower Pot in Bishopsgate-street . The omnibus
walked on afterwards for a considerable time , and I told the defendant that if he did not go on I would get out . He said , "Very well , sir , you can get O ut ; " and I accordingl y did get out , but I said to him that I did not intend to pay him anything . "Oh , " said he , " you don 't go out unless you pay me sixpence . " I then took bis number and the number of the omnibus and paid him sixpence , and I called a cab and went the rest 0 the journey . The fare of the cab was 3 s . 6 d . When I spoke to the defendant in the Strand he told me that be would set me down at the corner of the street in Hackney to which I wished to go . —The Lord Mayor : 1 wish to see the defendant ' s license . The defendant handed in the document . —
The Lord Mayor : I see that your license has been endorsed twice within the month , once by Mr . Henry , at Bow-street , and once by Alderman Copeland , at Guildhall . The conductor said he could explain all about the endorsements , and prove that Mr . Henry and Alderman Copeland were wrong . — The Lord Mayor : What do you say to the present charge ? Conductor : I know nothing at all about it , the gent must have made a mistake . I never had anything to say to him . —The Lord Mayor : This sort of conduct upon thepart of theservants of omnibuses is the cause of frequent and heavy complaint . I have had recently a great number of comp laints to the effect that the omnibus men act in the most arbitrary manner to their passengers , and I am
extremely glad that a gentleman who has been a sufferer comes forward to give me an opportunity of stating what it is my intention to do . The judgment I shall pass upon the defendant is meant , and will I trust tend to operate to the correction of the evil , and I shall give immediate directions to the officers at the Royal Exchange not to permit the Hackney and Clapton omnibuses to stop there a longer time than will be necessary for the convenience of passengers in getting in or out . If my directions be not obeyed by the officers they shall be discharged . In the hope that all omnibus drivers and conductors will look to the result of this case , I shall suspend the defendant ' s license
for one month and fine him £ 1 and costs , or fourteen days' imprisonment . GUILDHALL . —Indecent Assault . —Mr . Joseph Softlaw , manager of the London Coffee-house , was charged with indecently assaulting Jeremiah Wm . Callan , an engine-driver in the employ of Messrs . Ingram and Cooke . —Alderman Salomons said he would remand the case for a few days for further evidence , and then , unless the prisoner was able to rebut that at present adduced , he shotiW feel it his duty to send the case for further investigation before a jury . But in the interim he would notobject to take bail for his appearance to answer the charge here or elsewhere in the sum of £ 80 , two sureties in £ 20 each , and himself in £ 40 .
Robber y by a Servant . —Edward ThCneen was brought up for examination before Alderman Wilson , charged with absconding from his employ with a quantity of diamonds , value as per invoice £ 450 , the property of Messrs . Birnatingl , and Schwabacher , Co ., diamond merchants , of 8 , Broad-street-buildings , City . As this case was only remanded for the purpose of completing the depositions preparatory to committing the prisoner to take his trial at the present Old Bailey Sessions , no further evidence was taken , and having been cautioned in the usual form , prisoner was asked if he had anything to add to his former statement . —Mr . Lewis said that , after the prisoner ' s own admission of his guilt , he of course could not attempt to defend him by
denying tne tacts already sworn to b y the witnesses , and acknowledged to by the prisoner himself . —The prisoner was then fully committed for trial . Cab Fares . —A cabman was summoned before Alderman Wilson by Mr . Burridge , of Wellington , in Somersetshire , for demanding more than his legal fare . The Complainant stated that on the 8 th of May , he arrived at the Shoreditch station by the Eastern Counties Railway . Having a few parcels , he directed one of the porters to call a cab , when defendant came up , and he desired him to drive him to Wood ' s Hotel , Furnival ' s Inn , Holborn . No mention was made about the luegaee when he got in , and on reaching his destination he gave the cab-iuan half-a-crown , desiring him to give him a shilling change , leaving him Arf » « , v , ; n ;„„
and sixpence for a fare under two miles . Defendant said his fare was two shillings and eightpence , and demanded twopence more from complainant , which however herefused . telling the man to take one shilling and eightpence rather than have any dispute , that being fourpence more than : his fare . Defendant , however , retained possession of the half-crown and refused to refund any portion of it . On complainant telling him he would complain of his conduct he immediately drove off .-Defendant said he was allowed by tho railway coiMpany to charge for luggage , and produced a paper given him by the company con taining a list of all the daily trams , with spaces for the defendant to enter every fare he had taken , where taken to . and the amount of fare received . There wag also a space headed luggage , and upon that show of authority he C iK „ wV i $ vthe 1 We . ~ Aldorman Wilson said the act of parliament did not allow them
to charge for luggage , and unless an agreement was made be ore starting the defendant could not legally make any charge for luggage . In the present case , no such agreement had been made previous to starting , nor was any mention made about lueeaco on arrival at Furnival ' s Inn .

" 0 yOR SHIP-STREET . _ A ssAULT >^ . ,- tEgg ' Robbery . —James Hurley , a younj ? follow of notorious character , was p laced at tho bar before Mr . Arnold , charged with assaulting and wounding a married woman named Ellen Watman , and also with having committed a daring highway robbery at iniddav upon the person of Mr . Benjamin Collins , a bli ' nd man , carrying on business as an ironmonger in Hig h-streer , Shoreditch .-The Complainant in the first case , who appeared with her La Meatlv disfigured and one of her temples , ,, t , rrn nTnTl hr let to hire , or used . anle « s there
, covered with adhesive p laster , stated that she had formerly been upon intimate terms with the prisoner , who had lodged in her house ; but circumstances had occurred which had induced her to discourage his visits , and gave him notice that it was her wish to break off the acquaintance . Having accidentally mot him on the preceding evening , he endeavoured to divert her from her purpose , but finding himself unsuccessful he followed her to her door , aud Immediately commenced an unmerciful attack upon her , in the course of which he struck lier repeated blows in ' the face , and exclaiming that he was determined to be hanged for her at Newgate , finally grasped herby the throat and attempted to strangle her . She struggled violently to extricate
herself from him , but without success , and her cries for assistance at length attracted the notice of a policeman , who . rescued her from further brutality , and took tho prisoner into custody . —Sergeant Roberts fully corroborated the latter part of the complainant ' s evidence , and stated that he found her in such a state of suffering and exhaustion that it was necessary to place her under the care of the police surgeon , whose certificate he produced , describing the nature of the injuries she had received ; —In answer to the charge , the prisoner fully admitted the assault , whicb he attributed to feelings of jealousy , excited by his having observed her in the company of another man , although he had certainly no right to call her to account for so doing ,
as he was well aware of her being a married woman , and that she was then living with her husband , —The Complainant explained that the man referred to was . one of bor lodgers , " and positively denied that there were any grounds for tho aspersion he attempted to cast on her character . —The charge of highway robbery was then proceeded with , in support of which , Mr . Collins , who was totally blind , was led forward , and stated , that on tho afternoon of Monday night , while passing through New Inn Yard , Shoreditch ,. in the company of his daughter , a child eight years old , who was leading him along , he was suddenly tripped up by some men , who came stealthily behind him , and fell heavily to the ground . While endeavouring to raise himself , he was officiously assisted b y two of the men , who affected great commiseration for his misfortune , but he had no sooner recovered bis feet then he felt the hand of one of them fumbling in
the waistcoat pocket containing his watch , which he instantly missed , and upon exclaiming that he had been robbed , they both hastily made off . His deprivation of sight unfortunately precluded his giving direct evidence as to the identity of his assailants , but having received an intimation that the prisoner was in custody , and that the police were in possession of material facts to clearly connect him with the robbery , he proceeded to the stationhouse , and at once recognised him by the peculiarity of his voice , as being one of the men who had so attacked him .-Sergeant Roberts having requested a remand , to enable him to produce the stolen property , and to bring forward other evidence of a conclusive character in support of the charge tho prisoner , who simply denied all knowledge of the robbery , was ordered to be remanded until Tuesday next , until which day the mag istrate expressed his intention to suspend his decision upon the former case .
CLERKENWELL . — Stealing Books tbom Churches . —John Johnson , a young man Of respectable appearance was placed at the bar before Mr . Combe , charged with having stolen several scriptural hooks from St . Matthew ' s Church , City-road , St . Luke ' s .. It appeared that for some time past numerous book shad been stolon from the pews of the church . The prisoner bad been observed- to be in the church , and to leave it under suspicious circumstances . On Sunday morning at a quarter after eight o clock , before the service commenced , the prisoner entered the church and took his seat in one of the pews , where some prayer books were placed belonging to Miss Nioholl , a young lady , one of the congregation , and on leaving
the church the prisoner was followed by Mr , Ballard , tho clerk , who stopped him , and inquired what property he had taken from the church . He said he had taken nothing . He gave him into custody , and on being searched the stolen property was found concealed in his hat . A certificate , purporting to be from the captain of a ship , giving a good character to the prisoner as an able-bodied seaman , was also found upon him . Miss Maria Nicholl identified the books as being her property . Charles King , 376 N , proved the apprehension of ] the prisoner and the finding of the property in his possession . The prisoner , in his defence , said he lived with his mother , in Kent-street , Borough ; ' he left his own . books in the pew by mistake on ]
bunaay morning , auu be took , those belonging to Miss Nicholl , thinking they were his property . Numerous duplicates for Prayer-books , & c , were found on him , and there is no doubt he has been carrying on a system of plunder in this way . — He waa fully committed for trial on the above charge ; but will bo again brought up , to give tbe officer an opportunity to make further inquiries to trace other robberies , BO W- STREET . — Pugilistic Students . —Two medical students , who gave their names as George Thomas and Emanuel Jones , and " v ? . Cameron , a soldier of the Scots Fusileers , were charged with assaulting a boardman belonging to the Chinese Junk , a policeman , and other persons , and with
being drunk and disorderly . Tbe two students were passing the end of Essex-street , on Tuesday evening about seven o clock , being at the time in a state of intoxication , when they observed the boardman standing in the middle of the street with his board descriptive of the junk , and surmounted with the dragon , & c . The prisoner Thomas struck him violentl y , and knocked the board out of his hands . He was carry ing his violence further when a policeman interfered , and as he was unable to master the gentlemen himself , he was assisted by two of the passers-by , who were indignant at the outrage upon the poor boardman . A regular battle took place , the medical students making a fierce resistance , striking and kicking about them in every direction ,
Cameron was also passing at the time , and thinking the gentlemen over-matched , volunteered his assistance , and struck the policeman and others with him repeatedly . At length the . three prisoners were , overcome , and taken to the station-house . — Mr . Henry said that the boardman had no right to stand in the middle of the street with his board , but that did not yustrfy the conduct of the two -prisoners . It did not appear that Jones had behaved with so much violence as the other two , especially as his fellow student . He would , therefore ; make a distinction between their oases . _ He sentenced Thomas to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for twenty-one days , and Cameron for fourteen , while he allowed Jones to pay a fine of £ 5 . —The
nne was immediately paid and Jones was discharged . mw , m ? . « wo ri 80 ne '" 8 were removed in the van . THAMES . —Attempted Suicide . —Mary Williams , a good-looking young woman , who refused to give her address or furnish any clue calculated to lead to the discovery of her friends , was charged with attempting to commit self-destruction by swallowing a quantity of laudanum . Between eleven and twelve on Monday ni ght , Butler , a policeman , saw the prisoner reel and fall forward in the Whiteehapel-road . He hastened up to her , and found in her band a bottle containing a small . quantityof laudanum , which she tried to prevent him wresting from her . When asked what was her motive for attempting to destroy herself , she told theconsta .

COBS . Mask Lane , Mat U—There was no alteration in tho value of English wheat j the few parcels at market found buyers at Monday ' s rates . The receipts of foreign wheat exceed 11 , 000 quarters ; nevertheless , holders were firm in their demands , and the sales made were at former prices . Flour of all descriptions maintained its v & lue , Barley , beans , and peas were in fair request , and quits as dear as at the beginning of the week , Notwithstanding an arrival of 18 , 680 quarters of oats since Saturday last purchases could not i < e made on easier terms . The demand however , was not so brisk as of late . '
Birmingham , May 15 . —At Glocester and Worcester markets on the 10 th wheat was held for some advance , and rather higher prices were obtained for the little which changed hands , but not sufficient to alter our quotations , Barley in improved demand , and fully as dear . Oats is . per quarter dearer . On beans the turn WAS in favour Ot the seller . Peas a good deal Inquired for . JJuring the present week soma considerable transactions in wheat have taken place , at prices which could not previously be obtained ; aud Wolverhampton market yesterday whs lid , to Is . per qr . higher . Barley sells freely at last week ' s rates . Oats are takan in retail at a further improvement of Cd . per quarter . Th « Egyptian beans on tbe market have been cleared oif , except such as are held considerably above our quotations . Consumers hold off rather than submit to the high rates demanded for French . We hare not heard of any peas changing hands . At this day ' s
market there was again a short suppl y of wheat from tlie farmers , and we raise our quotations Is . per quarter on all descriptions . Barley held for an improvement of 6 d . per quarter , but was only complied with on limited quantities Oats Is . per quarter dearer , and few offering . Beans awl peas both realised rather more money , with a good , demand . Richmond , Yorkshire , May 10 . —We had a tolerable supply of grain this morning .

Compared with Friday ' s rates American is gd to Jd lower ; other sorts ate Id per lb down . * Mancbesteb , May 13 . —Owing to the sudden decline in the price of cotton at Liverpool since Friday last , consequent on the advices from the United States , which is to the extent of about | d per lb , the market for yarns and manufactures has exhibited great depression . Prices have yielded generally to the extent of the fall in cotton , and even where this concession has been made , no operations of
any magnitude have resulted . All parties seem much incVmed . to wait the course of events , and to confine their purchases more rigidly to their immediate wants ; out , on the whole , spinners and mauufactuiers have shown great nrmness , indicating that the accumulated stack * < w the market are as yet very light in amount . Some small Liverpool speculators in cotton , who had purchased in the expectation that a reaction in the market would speedily take place , and prices recover from the depression which has slowly gone on for many weeks past , are reported as unable to pay their differences , and their failure has beea announced , and the report has been accompanied vritb some apprehension for the future , so far as the cotton market u cowerned . The decline in water twist generally is Jd per lb on the week , and on mule twist id to id oa cloths of 3 d per piece .
