      Working Men's Preparations For The Recel...

      On the motion of Mr . Hcogett , tbe committee was nominated in accordance with tbe preceding resolutions . Mr . Huggett was himself requested , and agreed t . i act as secretary . A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the proceedings . THE MOVEMENTS OP M . KOSSUTH . The Mediterranean screw steamer Arno , Captain Ilaram , arrived ibis morning , at one o ' clock , at the Collingwood-wail , not having been able , though telegraphed off the port at four o ' clock , to get up sooner , in consequence of the lown ? ss of the water . Her appearance was mos- anxiously loo ' asd for , inasmuch as it was generally supposed that M . Kossuth , having arrived at " Gibraltar at the time the . Arno would quit that place , weu'd avail himself of lira oppiyftwtmy o ! coming to England w ' th Ida familyparticularlwhen it was known ibat the next

      , y vessel , one of the Southampton line , would not sad from Gibraltar until a week or ten days later . » e now learn that the American steam frigate Missisaippi had arrived at Gibraltar before the steamer ArL left that port , and that M . Kossuth was exceedingly anxious JO take passages for hunse . f , family , anJ attendants on board . Ho stipulated , however , that ihe Arno should c ill at Southampton , in order that hi misht and there ; but wiib ibis condition " Car-tain Harem was unable to comply ., and consequently , on the 10 th instant , the Arno sailed from Gibraltar , leaving Kossuth on board the Missisippi , which was lying in the hay . The en-President will ceitainly embark by the Madrid for Southampton , which sails from Gibraltar either today or to-morrow , fie may be expected , therefore , confidently in Southampton by the 20 ; h instant . His family , with the Hungarians who accompany him , farm a party of fifty-seven persons . —Liverpool Times , October , 17 tb ,

      1 851 . A number of gentlemen anxious to testify their admiration of Kossuth met on Thursday evening , at the Sussex Arms , BngleSvld Road , for the purpose ofagreeingonan address to he presented to the Hungarian patriot , on his arrival in this country . Mr . Thomas Beard presided . Mr . W . Russell , ia moving the first resolution , said that a man was not necessarily a hero because he revolted against a settled government ; but it was because Kossuth , like Washington and our fellow-countrymen in the sersuteentb century , had stood forward in defence of aucieat . snd prescriptive rijjhts , that he was entitled to thesympathy ofnll libcralir . en . ( Cheers ) . The Austrian sovernment had sought to identity

      the kingdom of Enngary in every respect with the Austrian empire ; they had shown themselves unfit to be trusted ; and hence the propriety of the step taken bv Kossuth of deposing the house of Hap 3 --bur ^ Korraino . ( IIear , bear . ) The charges brought against Kossuth by ihi " Times" were most frivolous ; after be had suffered an imprisonment of three * vears , he was blamed for not having paid his debts He had been charged with embezzling tbe funds of a charitable institution ; tbe fact mas that Le had been at the head of « nn institution of that cla > s , the same as the Earl of Guildford in this country ; he bad taken the salary without performing any duty , .-is bis predecessors had done : but the moment be found out that what he was doing , though leirally rig ht , was morally wrong , be returned the funds . ( Cheers ) . It was a complete answer to this and similar charges , that Kossuth had been placed , by the Emperor Ferdinand

      himself , as finance minister in the government of which Prince Esterhazy was the bead . ( Cheers ) . He moved the adoption of an address to Kossuth , sympathising with him on his misfortunes , and that it be presented soon after his arrival in this country . —Mr . Cox seconded tbe resolution , which was unanimously agreed to . —Mr . J . A . Hughes moved thu appointment of a committee to carry out the object of the meeting . The greatest honour which could be conferred on our free institutions , and the greatest credit which English freenun could do themselves was by giving a " hearty welcome to Kossuth , who had been engaged in the glorious object of giving to Iris countrymen institutions not less free than our own . ( Cheers ) . —Mr . Wickham , in seco : i-: < ug the resolution , expressed his belief that the expression of feeling towards Kossuth would be general throughout the metropolis , n .-s . J the country at large—The committee was then appointed , aud the meeting adjourned .

      EXPECTED ARRIVAL ON THE 23 rd OF OCTOBER . The following letter , written in French , has been received by the Mayor of Southampton : — " Sir , —Having been acquainted , by the publicity g iven by the English papers , of the interest you have deigned to tako in our cause , I think it my duty to inform you that Governor Kossuth will leave Gibraltar for Southampton en the 11 th or loih instant , in one ofthe steam boats of tbe Peninsular and Oriental Company . Permit me , sir , to present you my best respects , and to assure you of mv most devout esteem . —A . Lsmmi . —Gibraltar , Oct . 9 . 1851 . "

She cannot possibly arrive before , as she will not leave H sbon until the 19 th . She is not due before the 24 ta , but being a fast Steamer she almost invariably arrives a day before she is due .

James Vaughan , of 139 , Curtain Itoad , builder said—I sent my apprentice to my brother , at Nos . ' 19 and 20 , Aldgate , with a £ 5 bank note and a sovereign the balance of an account I owed him . I did not state the amount . — -James Hunt , apprentice to Mr . Junes Vaughan , said : 1 received some money from my master wrapped up in paper , and I gave it to the prisoner at the shop of my master ' s brother , in Aldgate . The prisoner was behind the counter at tbe time , and I saw him open the paper , and observed within it a £ 5 note and a sovereign . —Mr .

      James Vaughan , draper , of 19 and 20 , Aldgate , said : The prisoner was in my service on the 4 th of October , and left me on that day .. He had a general authority to receive money . He had been with me one month on that day , and he should have accounted to me individual l y for tbe £ G , but he did not do so . He came to me immediately after dinner in a hurried manner , and said that a messenger had just arrived from Oxford , to inform him that his brother-iti-law had died , that his sister had been only just confined , and that he would be much obliged if I would allow him to leave his situation at once . I then paid him the salary that was due to him up to ttiat day , and allowed himto go . Ho told me that he was going to Oxford by rail . I

      afterwards sent to my brother for the amount of the balance of my account , aud learned that it had been paid . —Mr . C . Haydon , warehouseman to Messrs . Rogers and Atkins , of No . 91 , Watlingstieet , said : Mr . Vaughan , of Aldgate , deals with us . At a quarter past six on Monday evening the prisoner came to our warehouse , and said he wanted a piece of cloth similar to a piece which be had bad before , for Mr . Vaughan , and that he had not any pattern but would be able to point it out , and he pointed to some brown paper and said it resembled tbat . I spoke to him of the difficulty of . ascertaining colour to a nicety by gaslight , and he left tbe warehouse , suspecting , 1 suppoie , that we

      entertained some idea of his dishonesty . We had received notice from Mr . Vaughan , of Aldgte , about him , and I followed and gave him into custody . — TluJ . pvisoileV 1 I had lift idea of attempting to defraud Messrs . ltogers and Co . Everybody knows they are so sharp in their business tbat it would be next to impossible to deceive tbem , Mr . Haydon : 1 recognised the prisoner ns having come fivmi Mr . Vaughan , of Aldgate , upon a former occasion for some cioth . —Sir Peter Laurie : I shall remand the prisoner ; aud in all probability it will be found that be has been round to other houses with which Mr . Vaughan does business . —The prisoner , who is a very sleek , demure-looking fellow , with a plausible and persevering address , was then remanded .

      Sikalikg a Watgh . — -William Wilmsburst and George Cousins were charged with having robbed Esther Hooper of a watch . —The prosecutrix , an old woman , keeps a grinder ' s shop iu Artillery-lane , and on Wednesday Cousins walked into the place and asked for a halfpenny worth of nails .

Suddenly he darted out ottUe house with the watch wi . ich was in a stand , and was followed by Cousins ,

      who left the nails behind him . The poor woman in vain ran after the thieves . On the same evening Cousins sold the watch for eight shillings , to a porter , whom he and hia companion mot and told they were tradesmen out of work . The prisoners were two days afterwards apprehended by Jarvis , one of the most active of the City detective police , and as the officer was taking them to the Mansion House , Wilmsburst acknowledged that he had stolen the watch , while Cousins was occupying the woman ' s attention about the nails . The prisoners were committed for trial .

Garden : Then what do you mean by swearing here tbat you knew her ? Prosecutor : No more I do know the girl—that is , I knew her then . ( Great laughter . )—Sir R . W . Garden : You appear to recollect nothing of what has transpired . Pray are you sober now ? Prosecutor : I believe 1 am . — Sir R . W . Garden : I suppose you are not sure oi tbat , are you ? Prosecutor : No , Sir . ( Laughter . )—

      Sir R . W . Garden : Have you recovered your watch ? Prosecutor : No , sir , I wish I had . I would not be here . —Sir R . W . Garden : And now tell me what your arc by trade . Prosecutor : Nothing , sir . ( Laughter . )—Sir It . W . Garden : What are you , then ? Prosecutor : I am a gentleman living on my means . —Sir R . W . Garden : Then you ought to know better . —The officer here said that he had found the handle of the watch near the spot indicated by the prosecutor , who was so intoxicated tbat he was unable to give any information as to the party who had stolen his watch . Witness apprehended prisoner merely on suspicion . He had made inquiries and found that prosecutor bad been drinking at Pearson ' s , in Cursitor-street , but the landlady positively declared that tho prisoner was not with him at all in her bouse . —Sir It . W . Garden : There is no

      evidence against tho girl , and I must discharge her . Prosecutor : Very well , sir . I havo no objection . ( Laughter . )—Sir R . W . Garden : And you will lose your watch . Prosecutor : I suppose so . —Sir R . W . Garden ; You see , Mr . Malkie , this is all the effect of getting drunk . Prosecutor : I admit it is very improper . —Sir R . W . Garden : It certainly is . However , the loss of your watch is a good penalty for your indiscretion , and I hope it will be a lesson to you that when you stray again from home you will not forget that you are a gentleman of independent property , and not get drunk .

      Mansion House.—Robbery By A Shopman - Sa...

      [ Great Exhibition an India rubber map of New York , the prooerty of Mr . Goodyear , one of the exhibitors . —Edwards , A 432 , deposed that on Sa- ; turdy he was on duty in the ; Exhibition when he saw the prisoner go into the department allotted to the United States , and raise the cover from a case which contained some maps . The prisoner put it down again , and put his hand underneath the cover , and took the map produced , and put it into his pocket . He then walked away , and witness followed him and accused him with stealing the map , which he stoutly denied . Witness took him back , to the plaea from whence ho . had taken the ma-p , when the prisoner pulled it from his pocket

      and gave it to him . The prisoner was then taken t » the station , and on the way there he said Mr . Goodyear had given him the map , —Joseph Sexton , asaistaat to Mr . Goodyear , identified Uvf t map as his ( Mr ., Goody ear ' s ) property . —The defendant said he was a professor of mathematics , and had come from Prussia to see the Exhibition . He had been to Mr . Goodyear ' s stand several times , and had received from him specimens of the articles used in the manufacture of the maps . On Saturday he went as usual , and not seeing any one there he took tho map , but not with the intention of stealing it . —Mr . Hard wick , at tho suggestion of tbe prosecutor , dealt with the case summarily and fined the defendant 40 s ,, which was paid .

      Grukltt to an Ox . —Richard Langton , a drover , was summoned by Mr . Thomas , the Secretary to the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals , for wilfully and cruelly ill-treating an ox , —Thomas Hester , 40 , Rowland street , stated tbat , on the afternoon of Friday week , he was proceeding along Charlotte-street , Fitzroy-square , when he saw the prisoner , who was driving some oxen , strike one of the beasts cruelly on ttte hoof with a thick stick with which he was goading them on . The poor ox , directly it was struck , fell lame , ana the prisoner struck it again at least twenty times , and the beating was so severe that it caused paralysis in thn beast ' s legs . There was no cause whatever for beating the ox . Witness added , that there were several gentlemen who witnessed the wanton act of

      cruelty , and had not business prevented them they would have attended here as witnesses against tbe prisoner . —In reply to Mr . Hardwicke , Mr . Thomas said that droveva' licenses were granted to lads not more than sixteen years of age , which he conceived a very bad practice . —The defendant denied the offence , :. nd said the ox was very stubborn and cross , and he merely gave it a gentle blow to make it move on . —Mr . Hardwicko considered it a case that merited a severe punishment , and committed tbe defendant for a week to the House of Correction .

      LAMBETH . — -False Character . — . John Ladwize Plauton Trapaud , alias Count De Chabeau , alias the Marquis De St . Marines , a tall , dark , middleaged man , of rather remarkable and shabby genteel appearance , who described himself as having been an officer in the East India Company ' s Service , and who had been taken at the Exhibition on Saturday evening last , was placed at the bar on a charge of giving a false character to William Wurdell , by which he had obtained a situation in the service of Joseph Haydon , Esq ., a magistrate and banker , of Guildford , Surrey . —Mr . Haydon deposed tbat in the latter end of the month of August ; last he caused an advertisement to be put in the " Times " for an in-door male servant , and

      in reply received a communication from William Wardell , the person who was at present under examination at this court on a charge of attempting to defraud the South-Western Railway Company of £ 20 . Wardell having presented a three years ' character , signed the Marquis De St . Marinee , and strongly recommending bim as a sober , honest , and excellent servant , he engaged him , and he ( Wardell ) remained in his house until taken into custody by Sergeant Goff on the charge of attempted fraud—Police-constable Richard Taurle , 1 G 3 L , said that be bad known the prisoner for some years as Count Chabeau , and understanding that a warrant had been taken out against bim for giving a false character , he took him into custody on

      Saturday afternoon , at the Exhibition . When witness first knew the prisoner , he lived at Melbournsquare , Brixton , and at that time he thought Wardell was in his service . This was about tbe latter end of the year 1816 , or the beginning of 1 S 47 , and in 1848 ne also knew bim to be in the Queen ' s Bench Prison . In 1848 , witness knew the prisoner to live in the Palace New-road , where he went by tbe name of the Marquis De St . Marinee . —Sergeant Goff said that in a writing-desk which the prisoner Wardell claimed aa his property , he found several letters written by the prisoner , and amongst them the draft of the character he had g iven him to Mr . Haydon . He also found in the possession of the landlady of Wardell ( Mrs . Steer )

      a quantity ot letters belonging to the marquis ( the prisoner , ) which he had not yet had sufficient time to look through . From inquiries he bad made , he ( Goff ) found out that at tho very time the prisoner gave tho character to Wardell he was a prisoner in Maidstone Gaol for debt , and had been there for somo time . Respecting Wardell , he ( Goff ) had , in addition to the present charge of attempted fraud on the railway , three distinct charges of felony to prefer on a future day . He should further , he though , be able to prove tbat Wardell had boon tried and convicted at the Old Daily , and he verymuch doubted that the marquis " was wholly unacquainted with his real character . The prisoner who seemed to treat the matter with great

      nonchalance , admitted that Wardell had not lived in his service altogether more than two years , though he had given him a character for three , but said that he always believed him to be a man of excellent character . In reply to a question from Mr . Elliott in reference to assuming the different titles , the prisoner said that , though born in England , he was the son of a Sardinian gentleman who had been for many years a resident in Bondon , and also for some years of bis lifetime a magistrate for the county of Middlesex , aud adiicd that he was entitled to the dignities be ( prisoner ) had assumed in right of his father . In proof of this , he said he had no doubt there would be found amongst his

      papers a communication from Prince Albert , in reply to a communication from him excusing himself from not attending her Majesty's courts on account of his pecuniary difficulties . He was , however , engaged in a Chancery suit where property to a large amount belonging to his family was involved , and was in daily expectation of an advance of £ 100 from the city . —Mr . Elliot remarked that , according to the prisoner ' s own showing the character given to Mr . Haydon of Wardell was a false one , and he should therefore remand him until the day Wardell would be brought up , but should have no objection to receive good bail for his appearance .

      CLEItKENWELL . —Robbery at tub Home and Colonial School Society . — Joseph Ilaynes and Robert Castle were placed at the bar for final examination , charged with having been concerned in an extensive robbery at the Home and Colonial School Society , 14 , Constitution Row , Gray ' s-innroad , St . Paucras . The prisoners were employed to do some repairs at the institution . Miss Aibiuia M .-u-i .-i Lima , a young lady of fortune , who was sojourning in the establishment , went out on a visit on Friday week last , the day on which the prisoners were at work , and on her return , on proceeding to her bed-room shefouud the place all in a confusion . A valuable gold watch , chain , and seal , a gold pencilcase , a purse and cash , with other property to a

      considerable amount , had been stolen . Information was immediately given to tho police , when Fisher , an officer , instituted inquiries , and suspicion full upon the prisoners , whom he apprehended in their beds with property v ; -. lued at £ 80 upon them , and subsequently tho gold watch was traced to have been pawned at Mr . Franklin ' s , in Tottenham-court Road , who had advanced £ 2 12 s . upon it to the prisoner Hayne--. —Miss Lima was now sworn : Sho identified the watch , & c , and , together with Fisher , confirmed the above facts . —Mr . Tyrwhitt committed both prisoners for trial , but said ho would take substantial bail for the appearance of Castle , which he produced , and was set at liberty .

      BuaoLABY . —Edward Green , a short , thickset , genteely dressed man , well known to the pohYc , was placed at the bar , charged by Mr . Samuel Delator , p icture-frame maker , of No . 0 , Lamb ' s Conduit-street , Brunswick-square , with having been concerned with others in an extensive burglary in his dwellhv ; bouse . The prosecutor said chat on a Saturday night in May last the family retired to rest , after having carofu'ly fastened the windows and doors . On the following morning the house was found to have been broken into , and plundered of property to a considerable amount . Information w ; ig instantly given to the police . The prisoner said nothing , and was remanded .

      IiOW-STREEl ! . — False Pbkxkscss—A female named Rachel Menztos was brought up on a warrant , chargeii with having on tbe 30 th April last obtained the sum of £ 50 , under the false pretence of making intcrvsG to procure au oflbe in tllC gift Of the Lords of tho Admiralty . —Alexander ileale snhi : I reside at No . 1 , Wellington-terrace , Claphamrise , aud have been in the service of a solicitor as clerk . On the 17 th of lust April , I caused an advertisement to be inserted in the " Times " newspaper , offerin £ 200 to any period who could procure for me a situation under government , or ochur situation Icl'JiIIv attainable , and about the middle of the

      same day received a letter signed with the initials "R . F ., " and dated from » , Denmark-street , Soho , inquiring if an appointment in Somerset-house , the salary commencing with £ 90 , and progrt'Siill " to several hundred ? , or a situation in a commercial establishment , commei . cing with £ 70 , and progressing to £ 500 , would suit tho advertiser ; thata deposit of £ 50 would be required for the first £ 300 when the nomination took place , and the remainder when the duties ofthe office would bo entered upon at the same time requesting that tbe advertiser should slate his exact age ; in reply fr > which I sent an answer , agreeing to certain modifications of the terms

      Mansion House.—Robbery By A Shopman - Sa...

      and then received another letter , mentioning that if would be necessary to -see the secretary to the Admiralty , and some influential persons at Lloyd ' s , but all tlie great people are out of town , appointing that I should call on the following Tuesday , adding that her claims on both establishments were of a much higher order than the situation in question . In accordance with the appointment , 1 called , and was shown into a room where the prisoner was , when she said , " I suppose you are astonished at finding you havo to treat with a lady ? I am the person with whom you have been corresponding , " I bad previously received a communication , signed "Rachel Fisher , " to tbe effect that her father bad been a captain in the Royal navy , and received

      a valuable piece of plate from Lloyd ' s for services rendered to the shipping interest , and at hid death promises v » eY < s given by government to his famil y , which they had recently received together with expectations of greater value from Sir F . Raring and other persons high in office . During tbe interview , I preferred an appointment in the Admiralty , upon which she said a deposit of fifty pounds would be required to defray her expenses in town , and to aerveas " a golden key" to the clerks in the shape of fees for the information they could furnish respecting vacancies that might occur , and on telling her that he would require some security for the deposit ill the shape of a bill of exchange , she said sho bad no doubt her landlord , Mr . Menzies , would

      give his acceptance , at the same time producing letters from Sir F . Baring and the other authorities at the Admiralty . After making arrangements when I was to call again to come to some conclusion about the deposit and bill , I kit , and shortly after received a note mentioning that her landlord was quite agreeable to lend his name , and that the situation couid immediately be entered upon when the deposit was made , appointing a time to pav another visit , which I did , and she said it was usual to give some money to bind such an agreement , when I gave her a sovereign , out of which a stamp was purchased , and I drew on Wilson Menzies for

      £ 50 at six months , which I left with her upon proluisins : not to ask for any additional security in hev name . The next day she called at my house with the bill , and I handed her £ 4715 s ., deducting the sovereign and interest , at the same time giving her a memorandum to pay the remainder when the situation was conferred upon me . The money consisted of a £ 20 Bank of England note , two £ 10 notes ; and the remainder in gold and silver , —Mr . Jar dine : It was left open to you which establis hment you would prefer being appointed . —Witness : I preferred the Admiralty , but she said she should see the secretary before she could give me an answer . —Mr . Swainson said that the name of the

      First Lord and the secretary to the Admiralty having been repeatedly used , although no specific engagement had been made by the prisoaer , the learned counsel who had been consulted upon the subject was of opinion that the case ought to be proceeded with . —Mr . Jardine said tbat tbe prosecutor had certainly entered into a contract by giving the bil ' , and even the negotiation for the sale of a situation in a public office mi ght be a criminal act , but it was well known that Lloyd ' s was not an establishment under the government , and the safer course to pursue would be to look upon it as a misdemeanour , and call upon the prisoner to find bail until he could look over the acts of parliament bearing upon such a charge . —The prisoner said that when the bill bacame due itfwouldbe taken up ; and , being provided with the required sureties , she was ordered to be in attendance when called upon .

      Attempted Bubulary . —John William Jones , was charged with having attempted to commit a burglary . — -Mr . Charles Henry Winfield , a gentleman residing at SO , Tavistock-square , stated , that at half-past three o ' clock on Sunday morning he was awoke by hearing glass break below , and hurried down stairs , when ho saw a person moving from the glass door lending into the garden , one pane of which had been just broken , and the iron bar of which had been let down , and which witness bad put up on retiring to bed at half-past ten o ' clock on Saturday night ; the bolts of the door , however , were not drawn back . Witness followed the retreating figure down the garden and called out " police , " wben the fugitive thief leaped the garden wall , but was in a little time brought back in custody 0 f a police officer . Nothing in the house had been disturbed . —Police-constable 41 F , said that about three o ' clock on Sunday morning he

      was on duty m Great Coram-street , Brunswicksquare , and hearing the cry of police issuing from the back of tbe houses in Tavistock-square , he proceeded up Woburn-place , and saw the prisoner loap the garden wall of the house , 58 , Tavistock-square , aud run down Coram-street . Witness gave chase , and sprang his rattle , when another constable stopped the prisoner , whom witness conveyed back to the house of the prosecutor , and thence to the station house . On searching the prisoner there were found on him four lucif ' er matches in a silk handkerchief , and a housebreaking instrument . — Tho prisoner made no defence , but requested his handkerchief to be restored to him , which request his worship directed should bo complied witb . — The prosecutor made some long and confidential communication to the bench , the result of which was that the prisoner was remanded upon the charge .

      VVORSUIP-STRBET . —Juvekvl * Thievt . S . —Samuel Monsire and William Welch , two youths of 15 or 10 , both of whom were recognised as the constant associates of thieves , and one of them numerous times in custody , and once convicted of felony , were charged with robbery at the shop of Mr . Charles Faulkner , a silversmith and jeweller , in Catherine-street , Iloxton . —The prosecutor ' s wife stated , that while seated in her parlour at four o ' clock on the previous afternoon , the prisoner Monsire and another youth suddenly presented themselves at the window , round one of the panes of which , opposite a jewel-tray , she saw the former rapidly draw one of his fingers . Thisjict excited her suspicions , and sho went to the door , but both

      boys had then disappeared , and upon looking at the pane where ; . they had been standing , she was surprised to find tbat in that short time not only had the greater part of the putty which secured the glass been cut away from it , but that tbe pane itself had been starred in a very peculiar manner , though she had not heard tbe sound of its cracking . She communicated this fact to one of her neighbours , who expressed an opinion that it bad been done by shoplifters , who would be sure to return , and she therefore kept aabirp watch for two hours , l-ut nothing more was seen of them till half-past six , when the prisoners returned with a third boy , and arranging themselves so as to cover each other , Monsire went up to the glass , rapidly touched the

      bottom of the pane , handed something to tbe third boy , and then all throe hastened quickly away . The whole occurrence was so dexterously executed that she had not time to get near them , fro interrupt their operations , but upon again looking at the pane they had touched she found a jportiou of the glass had been silently forced out , and two valuable gold rings abstracted through tbe hole made in it . — David How , the neighbour referred to , deposed to seeing the two prisoners at the prosecutor ' s window at four o ' clock , and then suddenly dart away . Upon learning from Mrs . Faulkner the result oi

      their labours he also kept watch fort-hem , and when they returned , two hours and a half afterwards , he saw Welch go cautiously up to the window , apparently force something through it , ami then , after handing something to their accomplice , who stood ready to receive it , all three ran off . He hastened out to intercept them as fast as lie could , though not quickly enough ; but upon noticing the hole made iu the glass he pursued and captured the two hindmost ones , Welch and Monsire , whom he forced back to tho prosecutor ' s , where ' he held them till they couid bo given in charge , when upon their removal to tho station it was found that tuev

      had left behind thorn in the shop » stout piece of wire twisted into a hook , with which there could be no doubt that the rings had been drawn through the fracture . —Robinson , of theN division , deposed that upon taking the prisoners into custody tuoy indignantly denied the charge , but upon taking them to the station and searching them ho found two strong clasp-knives in fcbeir possession , the ends of the largest blades of which were bent back in a peculiar manner , similar to a farrier ' s paring-knife , and admirably adapted to rapidly cut out any window to which they might be applied . —Morrell , of the II division , who was accidentally in court upon other business , identified both prisoners as old acquaintances in much the same terms as those before

      given , and , the prisoners having confined themselves to a general denial of all that was alleged against them , thoy were ordered to be con mitted for the completion of the depositions .

After a good deal of up ami down fighting he secured the prisoner . —1 lie prisoner , iu defence , said the ease was just this : He was seated at his own door , and the policeman pulled him u » . seized him bv the

      STATE Of THADE . MANcncsrsR , Out . 10 ' . — There has been a littifl inquiry for India goods in anticipation ot' the Overland Mail , but prices are still low .-sn . l much depressed . In other dejiartmeats there is but littlu ehaugt ! . Lu domestic ? , ' r . elotte . printers and long cloths , buyers appear to have > -r < krs lu place , but the American cotton market advice . * , and the sympathy evinced in Liverpool with tlieiw , give hopes of a further relaxation of prices , and this elieouraj-es a

      disposition to withhold j-H but pressing business . The same feeling influences the yarn market , and in numbers both tor export and home consu-.-iption there is freedom tnou 3 » from pressure to induce spinners to take contracts at slightly more favourable rates . Prices , however , are not quotaiily lower , and the probability is th . tifilieiiia ™* shouM assume a < legrc « of steadiness again a good ta > f business would be immejiau-lv th . own in . There is no anticipation that the price of cotton will come uracil lower , awl if it were to-ive « . ay so as to insp ire eni * - ubhCd in future stability , that would be sufficient to revive business .
