oiEomsrixG ix the tower , hamlets . I . l pa public meeting of " thTchartists of the Tower , Dtnletmlets * m held OS Sunday evening , at the Wooden , Vn , Vh : i = 4 trcet » Harc-strcct , Bethnal-green . to ot a ir a lecture from Ernest Jones . The spacious nm * m was crowded to excess . Before the proceed--s ces commenced the landlord announced that he H bed been in communication with the police authoiies . ies , who , bearing that a riotous meeting was to skc ike place at his house , had iuformed him that iliceiliceinen would hi in attendance , but in attending aatasaand all future meetings , they would come in jeir ieir uniform , and not disguised . JShoShortly after eight o ' clock Mr . J . Shaw was llledlled to tlie chair " and briefly introduced Ernest unesines to the meeting . IEkjEkxejt JuXes , wiio was greeted with crcat ap-Eausnuse . commenced by stating that his subject was
nc " ic " P-st , Present , : < nd Future . " It was a wide sjld , jld , but he should confine his attention to that nrtiortion of it which related to democracy . For » mc . » mc vears past the condition of the working : las »( as » es " of th is country had been steadily dcteriorat-115 ; vis with a few fluctuations of prosperity . It was the aauiauie in all other countries » iniilarf . v siiaatcd to riretfreat Brit tin . Montesquieu , the celebrated French irritmter , truly said— " That nations which base their urosrosperity on commerce rise rapidly , and as rapidly 3 all , all , for while extending their prosperity abroad lhevhev were undeniiiiiing it " at home . " Such nations m « n « iit probably flourish until they met with com-Detbetition from abroad . Tkey might even then conimiinue to flourish , if by possessing superior inauhichiuery tlev were enabled to binish foreisn corope-.. itkitiou ; but the possession of superior machinery was imljnly an ephemeral advantage , cue that was impos-• sibkible to be lasting ; other nations would speedily uvaivail themselves of it . We found that this was
inoviow the case relative to England ; other nations 1 svewerc even surpassing us ; two steam ve-sels were Ibeibeing built in America for a firm at Newcastle , and iseisever . il for Hamburg and other places . In Saxony 124 , 24 , ( 100 looms were employed in making what was teitermed mock goods , whilst only 0 , 000 looms were cncmployed hereupon the genuine ones , and none but susuperior judges could tell the difference , whilst the piprice was greatly lower . In the combmakers , and ot other trades , » he result was the same . A barrel bulk oi of combs could be sent herefrom America for less frfrefcihi than they could from the Tweed to the T Thames . When things arrived at this stage theonly w way the homemanufacturercould meet this corapetiti iion was bv reducing the wages of hislabourers . Still
a all might go well if food was reduccn in proportion . 3 Xow food could only Le procured either from the s soil at home , ov by exchange from abroad . They f found tl-at ot ' ier nations would not send them food i in exchange for manufactured goods , as they t > ere t thereby injuring themselves , but only in exchange i for gold . Still prosperity might continue if they 1 procured cheap food from the soil at home ; but 2 manufacturers finding they could not realise the amonut of profit they did prior , to making their ] profits equal ti their previous gains , employed i more hands to make more goods , and thus withdraw 1 the hands from the agricultural districts , and pre-- rented the growth of a sufficiency of cheap food ; they produced the natural result of increased poor
rates , misery , and destitution . They were told that hats , clothes , & c , as well as food , being cheaper , the working man must be better off than in prior times . But it was not so . Cobden estimated that food had fallen thirty per cent , within late years , but facts proved that the wages of labour had fallen sixty per cent , within the same period . It was not the amount of work that was done which was a criterion to guide them , but the price they got for that work . When trade was "brisk they were worked to death , and when trade was dull they were starred to death . They were told tlat the wealth of the country was increased , that our income had risen from 120 millions yearly to double that amount ; he acknowledged that , anil
it had got into a few hands , and the misery of the many had increased . In 1807 the wages of the agricultural labourer was 15 s . per week , with £ 210 s . for .-ix weeks" work in harvest time , ten bushels of malt , and other privileges ; now the average of wages in England and Wales was Ss . per week , with , on an average , thirty-six miles per week to walk to and fro to their employment , and no harvest money , malt , & c . In 1707 the average wages of the manufacturing operative was 19 s . per week ; new the average in Scotland , where it was higher than in England , did not exceed Ss . per week . Mr . Jones then showed that during the fame period , as wages had fallen crime had increased . We had 70 , 000 criminals to provide for
every year ; whilst 111 France , prior to the revolution , " there were only 7 , 000 committals , and since then it had sunk to 5 , 000 ; and to see the full force ofthe contrast they must remember that Franco lad a population of thirty-two millions , whilst the population of England and Wales was only sixteen millions . Truly poverty was the mother of crime . Mr . Jones then showed , from the tables ofthe celebrated Dr . Guy , that the average age of the working classes at death , as compared with others , was as follows : — Genfiy . Tradesmen . Operative . Years . Years . Years . Leeds- 44 27 1 Q Bolt-in 47 27 IS
Bradford 34 23 IS Manchester ... 38 20 17 Liverpool 35 23 lo In London the average age of the operative was seventeen years . It might appear strange to some , Beeing around him many men foity or fifty years , that the average was so low , but they must take into account the great numbers that die in their infancy . With regard to the causes of death among the working classes , one out of every three-and-ahalf who attained the age of fifteen years died of consumption . Mr . Jones then went into the statistics brought by Mr . Slaney before the house , relative to the cost of hospitals , prisons , & c . lie
then showed that tbe superiority of mortality in France arose from the greater sub-division of land . In France they had eleven millions of small farmers , and twenty million persons interested in agriculture ; whilst in this country we had only 700 , 000 employed upon the land . He then demonstrated that if the land of this country , reckoning it at sixty millions of acres , capable of excellent cultivation , was divided among the people , it would give eleven acres to each family , and he was well con-Tinced that two or three acres were quite sufficient to maintain a family in comfort . He did not advocate an equal division of land , he was only showing them that there was sufficient to maintain our present population , and h-avc a larjre margin for
increase . flO tfPS in favour of the land being made national property . Mr . Jonc * then dwelt on the various schemes propounded by government , and also by the working classes , to remedy our social evils , laying it down as his opinion that all were useless , or at best but of minor importance , compared with the possession of political power . Mr . Jones then stated that the reportof the Manchester meeting in the Star was false , and denounced the leading article . A resolution similar to that adopted by the Delegate Council , with the addition appended of a vote of confidence in the Executive , was carried . Several members of the Executive were present . After a collection had been made on behalf of the funds , Mr . Thornton Hunt was nominated as a Candidate forthe Executive .

( The account of this fire will be found in our seventh page . ) The jury having been sworn proceeded to view the bodies , which presented a most i appalling spectacle—the limbs mangled and dis-¦ figured , the entrails protruding , and their whole frames presented a blackened and frightful aspect .
Mrs . Caunt was not examined , but Susannah Thorpe , the principal witness , said , 1 live at 5 , Kensington Park Road , Xotting Hill . I went to Mr . Caunt ' s in the afternoon of Tuesday . I am a relation of Mrs . Caunt ' s . 1 was there when an alarm was given shortly after two o clock in the morning . Mrs .

We lay iu the front room on the second floor , immediately under the others . The deceased were in the room above us . We saw smoke and fire in the middle room on the floor in which we slept . I don t know if there was a fire in the room where the deceased lay . I did not see the deceased taken out . The barman had gone to bed . There were no other persons occupying the attics that night . I suppose tbe fire broke out in the middle room on the second floor . A servant and the baby
were in an adjoining room , there was no fire in either of these two rooms . I cannot account bow the fire originated . The barman slept in one of the attics . There arc three rooms on each floor . The barman went into the room where the girl and tho baby were sleeping . I don ' t know much about the house or its arrangements . Mrs . Caunt and myself ran down to give the alarm . We were very much frightened . — Several witnesses were examined , after which the jury returned a verdict— " That the deceased had come by their death from fire , but that there was no evidence as to how the fire originated . " Cornelius Caunt was about six , and his sitter about eight .

Two Fibes . —On Thursday morning the premises of Mr . J . Wilshire 37 , Colt-street , Limehouse , caught fire from some unknown cause , and before the engines eould subdue the flames , the furniture and a considerable portion of the stock were destroyed . A second fire broke out at 19 , Moorlane , Cripplegate , on the premises occupied by Mr . Bryant , a pork butcher , and was caused by the explosion of gas which had escaped from a faulty pipe . The shop was set on fire , and the flames were ultimately extinguished by engines . The amount of damage is not ascertained . Mvsterioos and Fatal Occurrence at the
Regent ' s Caxal Docks . —On Thursday afternoon about one o ' clock , as a man named Robert Apling was heaving up the winch on board the Lively , a vessel recently arrived from Germany , a discharge of firearms was heard , and Apling exclaimed , " My God , I am shot , " falling back immediately a corpse . A surgeon was immediately in attendance , and discovered that a shot bad entered the right breast , leaving an orifice the size of a shilling . Up to the present time all efforts to ascertain whence tbe shot came , or by whom it was fired , have been fruitless . The Dock Company propose to offer a reward for the discovery of the perpetrator of the fatal deed .
The Fatal Accident on the Eastern Counties Railway . —Mr . C . C . Lewis , the coroner for the southern division of Essex , held an inquiry on Thursday , at the Sew Inn . Ingatestone , respecting the death of James Wilson , one of the new engine drivers in the service of the company , who was killed by being crushed between his own engine and a passenger train . The particulars will be found in our sixth page . After hearing the evidence , the jury announced that they were of opinion that the stoker of tbe goods engine was much to be blamed for moving his engine before he had the proper signals to come on , and not seeing when he did so that the points were clear . They therefore returned a verdict of " Manslaughter " against Henry Hampshire , nnd the coroner made out the usual documents for his trial at the ensuing assizes at Chelmsford .

LAMBETH . — Attempted Hwitok' ? Rotoewj with Mohdebous Y 101 . ENCE , —Charles Wood , who described himself as an omnibus driver ,-and living at No . 20 , Bull and Gate-yard , High Holborn , was charged with committing a most murderous assault 011 the person of Mr . Thomas Carter Wiggs , residing at Xo . 2 , Lorrimer-terrace , Walworth ,, with a life-preserver , and also with intending a highway robbery . Mr . Games attended for the prisoner . — Police-constable James Kay , 57 P , deposed that about halt-past one on Sunday morning he was on duty on Manor-terrace , and on approaching within about one hundred jards of Lorrimore-terr . ice , he distinctly heard the sound of a blow , and instantly
heard loud cries of " Murder" and "Police . " He ran towards the place from whence the cries proceeded , and found there a gentleman bleeding profusely from the head . At the instant he saw by the shade of the lamp a man running in the direction of West-street , and in consequence went right after him , as fast as he could , but had not proceeed far when be met a brother officer coming towards him with the prisoner in his custod y . The prisoner was taken to Mr . Wiggs , and the latter at once said that he was the person who struck him the blows on the head . —Mr . Elliot : Did he state what he had struck him with ?—Witness : Yes , sir , he said a short stick with a knob at the end ; but , in my opinion , it was a " life preserver . "—S .
Coppin-deposed that about the same time before mentioned , he heard the cries of "Murder " and "Police , " and while going to the spot from whence the cries proceeded , he met the prisoner , who was blowing at the time , aud appeared to have been running . Be asked him whore he c . ime from , and he said from Penton-place , and knowing this to be false , he stopped him , and told him he must take him to the place from whence the cries proceeded . The prisoner then said , " If there is a row between a man and his wife , I have nothing to do with it , " He ( Coppin ) , however , told-him he must come with him , and at this time the last witness , Kay , came up , and said that there was a gentleman very nearly murdered . Hethen took the prisoner to the house
of Mr . Wiggs , and that gentleman , on seeing him with his hat on , exclaimed , " that is the fellow who struck me ; take care of him . " Mr . Wiggs also said that there was another man with the prisoner . The witness here produced a life-preserver of a new and novel shape . At one end was a large lump of lead , while the body , which was of gutta percha , was tapered off , so as to resemble a riding-whip , of the most formidable description . —The prosecutor was so severely injured so as to be unable to attend . —The prisoner was remanded , the magi-trate refusing to take bail for him . —The prisoner was again brought up on "Wednesday , when Mr . Wigg , who was sufficiently recovered to appear , identified the prisoner * who was fully committed for trial .
SOUTH-WARK . —luroRUNt to CAroiss .-John Hayes was charged with being drunk and refusing to pay his cab faro . —The cabman stated , that lie was hired by tbe defendant at the west end of tlie town to drive him over to the Borough . When they arrived at the place the defendant wanted he refused to pay the fare , so , added the driver , I drove him off to the station-house and gave him into custody . He ( the defendant ) was in liquor . — Mr . A'Beckett said thafcif the defendant was intoxicated , the cabman had no right to let him get into his vehicle . At all events the cabman was not justified in giving a man into custody for not paying his fare;—Cabman ; What was I to do ?—Mr . A'Beckett : You ought to have taken out a
summons against him , for no driver is authorised to give a man in charge for merely refusing to pay a fare . —Cabman : But he refused to give his name or address , and if 1 let him go I might whistle for my fare . —A policeman said the defendant , although he appeared to have been drinking , was not intoxicated , but he heard him use very abusive language when he asked for the fare . —Mr . A'Beckett said the defendant was discharged . WORSHIP-STREET . —A Scoundrel . —William Bayliss , a well dressed fellow , - of dissipated appearance , was charged with the following dastardly attack upon a young woman named Maria Taylor . — The complainant , whose face was perfectly black with contusions , said that she had formerly lived
under the protection of the prisoner , but in consequence of repeated acts of ill-usage , which were ultimately followed on his part by a demand that she should go into the streets to support him in idleness by her prostitution , she determined to leave him , and went to reside with a relative in Wbitfield-strcet , Finsbury . She endeavoured to keep her place of refuge secret from him , but he succeeded in discovering ifc , and finding that she repelled all his overtures for a reconciliation on the disgraceful terms he had before proposed to her , he became outraeeously violent in front ofthe house , and expressed his determination to cut her throat the first opportunity that presented itself . She contrived for some time to keep out of his way , but
on Friday evening while passing with a female friend througi ^ Leonard-street , Shorcditch , she was overtaken by the prisoner , who again importuned her to live with him , and on her repeating her refnsal tore her bonnet and shawl from her person , struck her to the ground , and while she was lying partially stunned upon the pavement , dealt her such a ' terrible blow between the eyes that she endured the greatest agony , and afterwards found that the bridge of her nose was broken . —The complainant subsequently applied for a summons against the prisoner , but be'ore it could be executed , he again went to her house and threatened to take her life , and the magistrate therefore issued a warrant for his apprehension , which he managed
to evade until tbe preceding night when he was at length captured by Holland the warrant officer . —A respectable-looking woman named Ellen Turner , who was in the company of the complainant at the time of the outrage , was also examined , and described the prisoner ' s conduct as ferocious and brutal in the extreme . —Mr . Arnold sentenced him to pay the full penalty of £ 5 , or in default to stand committed to the House of Correction for two months . —The penalty was not paid , and the prisoner was carried away in the van . An injured Woman . — William Dives , a journeyman manufacturing chemist , wss charged with refusing to support his illegitimate children . —In October , 1846 , prisoner being acquainted with a young woman named Wise , offered to make her his wife . They left for church and came back , the young woman with a ring upon her finger , and
they passed among their friends as man and wife ; they had not , however , been to church . Since that time the complainant has borne two children to Dives , one three years old , and the other recently born . Just before the birth of the latter , the prisoner turned the young woman out of doors . —The defendant said his wife had been away from him four years , aud that she suddenly returned and claimed him , and he was obliged to abandon the other woman , who had no further claim upon him , but he was willing ' to allow her 3 s . Gd . per week , which he had in fact been doing ever since he left her . —Mr . Yardley said the defendant must support bis illegitimate children , and ordered him to pay 2 s . 6 d . for tbe support of the last born , and 2 s , per week for the first , and all the costs . —The prisoner said he would not pay the money . —Mr . Yardley—Then you will go to prison . Barbarous Treatment of a HonsB . —John
Cumber , a countryman attending Whitechapel hay-market , was charged with cruelty to a horse . —Tbe animal was old , worn out , starved , and galled , yet the prisoner had driven it on the preceding day 20 miles with a ton of hay along a hilly road . When seen by tbe policeman it could scarcely move for agony . —Prisoner pleaded that others were doing the same . —Mr . Yardley fined him 40 s ., and ordered him to remove tho animal by easy stages and after a few days' rest to its master ' s . --GUILDHALL . —Charge of Forging a Mining
Share . —William Daniels was brought up , charged with obtaining £ 50 , the money of Mr . Thomas Fuller , mining share broker , 48 , Theadneedlestreet , by means of a forged transfer of one 512 th share of the Wheal Mary Anne Mine , Menhenoit , in Cornwall , and also wifcirforging the same . There were other charges ot a similar nature against the prisoner , but as he had not succeeded in obtaining the money , those cases were abandoned by the prosecutor , and the prisoner was full y committed for trial on the above charge . Spanish Morals . — Charles Gomez , a South American , was charged with assaulting Antonio Gomez , . ia Spaniard . —Complainant said he was walking on Monday nigbt in St . Paul ' s Churchyard when prisoner came and struck him a blow on
the head , and immediately drew out a clasp knife , with which he pursued and threatened to kill him . —A police-constable corroborated this evidence . — Prisoner : I am a how and arrow maker , and used to live in Liverpool-street . Complainant came to me and told me he could get me a great deal of custom among his connexions in England . He often came to my house , and soon afterwards I found him with my wife in a dark room . I forbid him my house . I have often met them since arm in arm . Upon the last occasion I told him I would kill him if ever I caught them together again . After all this , on Monday night 1 was walking through St . Paul's Churchyard , and there I saw complainant walking with my wife again , and they
were laughing and talking together ; I was enraged at it and struck him , and I could not help doing so . —Alderman Farebrother : And I think . you served him quite right . If I had caught a man with my wife in the same manner , I would have broken every bone in his skin . You were wrong to attempt to make use of the knife though ; and as for you ( turning to the complainant , who was preparing to sneak out of the court ) , the sooaer such disreputable characters as yourself return £ 0 their own country , the better . Such tricks as these may do there , where the people are not so particular ; but in a country like this wo don ' t allow them .

He saw ono o ( the van horses printing in the agonies ot death , and the other breathing so hard that it appeared as if it would hurst its heart at every respirationThe firsta horse dropped down
. , grey , dead soon after . Tho surviving horse , which appeared much exhausted , and in very low condition , was hanging by the traces , and it was some time before t & ry could release it . He had ascertained that the weight ofthe load was two tons five cwt . He believed the van weighed another twenty-fave cwt .. and this was to be drawn up a steep hill by two horses . A policm an said he saw ttmsurviving horse at the tail of the van , it had been just taken out of the shafts . Ifc appeared . very weak , and laboured very hard in its breathing . He lifted its collar and found an old wound on the shoulder renewed by the friction of the collar . Both the horses appeared like old worn-out coach horses , and quite unfit for work . They did not belong to
Messrs . Chaplin and Home , but were the private property of Mr . B . W . Home , of tlie same firm . They were iu very low condition . —Other witnesses were examined who said that all tho horses were well attended to . The wound on the shoulder of the horse was as large as half-a-crown , and had fresh skin forming over it . —Alderman Farebrother said that no evidence had been produced to show from what cause the other horse had died . The defence at present set up only confirmed the charge of working a horse in an unfitcondition . The fact oi sending a horse out to work with a sore shoulder had been admitted by tlie witnesses for the detence , and he must therefore fine Mr . Benjamin Worthy Home 10 s ., aud costs 2 s . The money was
immediately paid . MANSION-HOUSE .-An Italian Pickpocket and a Lady of Sfirit . —Andrew Carter was charged with having stolen a pocket-handkerchief . —Miss Caroline Weston , who resides in Bormondsey , said : On Monday night , at a little after six o ' clock , as I was passing through Fenchurch-street , I saw the prisoner put bis hand into the pocket of a gentleman , and pull out part of a handkerchief , 1 immediately seized the prisoner by the collar , and I called to the gentleman , who turned about . The handkerchief fell at his feet . —The Lord Mayor You held the prisoner fast ?—Witness : Certainly 1 did , my lord ; and I would not let him go , as the attempt was so palpable , —The Lord Mayor : What
have you to say , prisoner , to this lady s statement ? —The prisoner : I don't deny that she took me , my lord , What was I to do * I am a poor Italian , in great distress , and as hungry as a wolf . I must eat , and I must get something to buy food ?—The Lord Mayor : Is the prisoner known ?—The policeman , into whose custody the prisoner was given said the fellow was tho companion of thieves . — The Lord Mayor : I shall send him for six weeks to hard labour In prison . I cannot sufficiently express my admiration of the spirit and presence of mind exhibited by tho young lady who performed so hazardous a feat as that of taking into custody a person of this description . —The prisoner was then committed .
How Pickpockets are Punished . —Several pickpockets wero brought up in the custody of Finnis , and summarily convicted by his lordship for having attempted to pick pockets . Tho Lord Mayor said he was happy to be able to state that the course he had pursued with respect to pickpockets coming before him , had been followed by the best results . Whenever any pickpocket hail previously been summarily convicted , ho directed the police to produce the certificate of such conviction at the trial . In consequence of this plan during tho past session many thieves who
would , if evidence of former crimes had not been produced , have escaped with imprisonment for a few months wore sentenced to transportation , and thus society was relieved from those depredators at any rate for some years . It was , his lordship added , quite shocking to see thieves who bad been long exercising their calling , sentenced perhaps to confinement in gaol for two or three months , and afterwards to find them not only committing plunder , but haunting the very scenes of their former adventures .

I was up stairs and heard a noise : I went down stairs and found her lying on the floor . He spoke to her , but she made no reply , and he ascertained that she was dead . " Witness accompanied the prisoner to the house . As he was going ulong
he said he knew nothing about it . On entering the back parlour , which was used as a workshop , witness found the deceased lying on the floor . Tho place and furniture was all in confusion , and she was surrounded by a pool of blood . He lifted her arm up , and discovered that she was quite cold and dead . He called on Sergeant Barber and another constable , when they procured the attendance of Mr . Hutchinson , a surgeon . There was no bed or fire in the room .

" Witness took him to the station-house , where lie was locked up . —Mr . John Hutchinson , surgeon ,
of No . 8 , Itiver-street North , Islington , sworn , said that on Sunday morning last , he was called upon by the last witness to attend the deceased , at 2 i , Graham-street , Islington . He proceeded there immediately , and in the back parlour found the deceased , whom he had seen on Saturday last . She was lying on the floor ; her hair was disordered , and matted with blood . She was on her right side , with her legs drawn up . The lower extremities were quite cold ; also her hands . Her face was very much bruised , and her eyes very much blackened and swollen . Her lips were cut ; her face was covered with blood ; there was a deep wound on her face . Her hands were covered with blood . Her knees were also injured . The deceased was sixtythree years of age . She was quite dead . Witness
asked the prisoner h > w it had happened . He said he did not know . The scalp of the head was very much injured and swollen . A cloak was in the apartment , which was saturated with blood . He again asked the prisoner how it occurred . Ho replied that she fell down in a fit , and knocked herself about . He said , " I did not do it , I did not murder her . I missed her out of bed . I did not hear her breathe . I went down stairs and found her lying on the floor . I lifted her up , and that caused the blood to be on my hands . 1 found she was dead , and immediately went for a policeman . She had had some dreadful falls . She was always falling about I could not do anything else . She never complained to witness of her being subject to fits or falling down since he attended on
her . The prisoner ' s working tools were in the room ; the bench was overturned . He went with the prisoner and the policeman to the station-house , and on his return he examined the body ofthe deceased more minutely . There were three females and a man , lodgers in the house , at the time . -Sergeant E . Barber , who assisted the first witness , said that before prisoner went to the stationhouse he ( witness ) turned the light of his lantern on him , and saw that his hands were covered with blood , particularly his nails . There was also blood on his temple and on the hearthstone ; itappeared to have been wiped up with a cloak which lay close by the deceased , which was saturated with blood . There was blood , also on- the walls and mantelshelf ; ifc was quite dry , but fresh . There was a jug upon the hob of the firegrate containing beer ; the jug was splashed with blood . There was also
blood on the table . Mr . Hutchinson having said that the wounds were on the head and face , & c , might have been caused by kicks from a boot , witness returned to the station-house , and examined the prisoner ' s boots ( now produced ) , and he found m « rks of blood upon them , quite dry . Witness asked the prisoner how the blood came on his boots , He said they must have heen caused by feeling after the deceased in the dark . There wore four other parties lod ging in the same house . He had ordered them all to attend that day to give evidence , but they were not present . They could give information as to the prisoner ' s ill-treatment of the deceased . Mr . Hicks , overseer of Islington , recognised the prisoner as being in the habit of illusing the deceased , and she prosecuted him in this court for cruelly beating her , when he was sent to prison for one month . —Mr . Tyrwhifct said he would remand the prisoner for the result of the eoroner ' s inquest .

A woman of loose character seeini ; them watching the prisoner , called out to him that " B— , old Archer and Fisher are after you " . when he ran away , and , inoider to avoid them he entered a tobacco-shop , under pretence of pur ' , chasing some tobacco , and they took him into vashv ) y . —Mu Tyrwhitt asked the officers what

they knew of tho prisoner ? Archer said , that the prisoner acted as " deputy , " at a p lace called " the Kitchen , " in Fox-court , Gray ' s ' -inn-lane , a receptacle for notorious thieves , and the worst characters , and which was a regular nuisance to the respectable portion of tho inhabitants . On proceeding to the " Kitchin " where the prisoner lodged , he made a search , and in his apartments he found a bayonet , the property of Mr . J , Yeoman , gunmaker , & a ., of Chamber street , Goodman ' sfields . It may be remembered , that Mr . Yeoman is contractor for guns and bayonets to the East India Company . One of his workmen was sent to the East India House with nine guns and nine bayonets , for inspection prior to tlw order being
finished , and during his temporary absence in a public-house , to have some refreshment , the property was stolen from the passage , where he had left ifc . The bayonet ; now produced was one of the identical bayonets that had been stolen , and had no doubt been received by the prisoner . He ( Archer ) was endeavouring to trace and apprehend the thieves . —Mr . Tyrwhitt inquired who was the owner of the house called the "Kitchen . "Fisher , 127 , G , said be did not know who was the owner of the house , but he knew that it was rented hy a person named Burgess , and the prisoner acted as deputy to the e .-tablishment , and was in the habit of receiving stolen property from boys and thieves of every description , and training youths in
the art of picking pockets . A few nights ago he was watching after some thieves at this Kitchen , when he peeped through the window and saw tho prisoner and several boys below . A string was affixed from ono side of the apartment to the other ; a coat was pinned to it , and , a handkerchief being put into the pocket , the prisoner instructed the boys how to pick the pocket of the handkerchief , and if they failed in performing the thing well , and to the prisoner ' s satisfaction , he would knock them down " and iiluse them ; and at length , after some practice , his " pupils" would become perfect adepts in the "art and mystery" of picking pockets . Stolen goods were every day and every night taken to this place , which was constantly full ofthe most depraved characters in London . —Mr . Tyrwhitt remarked , that scarce a day passed over but something of the " Kitchen , " in Fox-court , was mentioned in connexion with robberies or other
disgraceful transactions . It was the duty of the parish authorities to look after such a place ; they wero bound to put ifc down by indictment at the sessions . Country people would look upon the police of London and the parish officers with contempt when , after the publicity given by the press to such an inf ; imous place existing in the very centre of the metropolis , it was not put down . He directed that Mr . James and tho parish authorities of St . Andrews , Holborn , should be communicated with upon the subject , and their attendance requested at this court on the day of the prisoner "? next examination , when the whole matter would bo laid before them , and he did hope that the most decided measures would be adopted to crush so disgraceful a nuisance , and nothing should be wanting on his part to accomplish so desirable an object . Hi then remanded the prisoner for a week for further evidence .

A few days since , on arriving in London , he was robbed of bis pocket book , which contained £ 27 . He was left utterly destitute . The thoughts of being in a strange country without any friends
