irient of our Hierarchy , hears fruits of order , peacefulness , decency , religion , and-virtue , it may he that the Holy See shall not be thought to have acted unwiselv when it bound up the , very soul and salvatioa of a chief pastor with those of a city ¦ where the name indeed is glorious but the purlieus infamous ; in which the very granduer of its public ediSces is as a shadow to screen from the public eye sin and misery the most appalling . . If the wealth of the Abbey he stagnant and not diffusive , if £ c in no way rescue the neighbouring population from the depths in which it is sunk , let there be no jealously of any one who , by whatever name , is ready to make the latter his care without interferine with the former .
Thanks to yon , brave and generous and noblehearted people of England , who would not ho stirred up hy those , whoso duty it is to teach you gentbmeis , meekness , and forebearance , to support what they call a religious cause by irreligious means ; and would not hunt down , when bidden vnnrnnnffcndnx * fellow citizens , to the hollow Cry ir-NoSpeSSnd on the pretence of afabled ^ Tfomksfc ) yon , docile and obedient children .: of the Catholic faith ; many of you I know by nature fervid but by religion mildened , who hare felfcm deea—irho could help it ?—theindignities that have heen cast upon your religion , your pastors , and your highest chief , hut have borne them in the spirit of the great head of your church in silence and unretorting forbearance . But whatever has been said in ignorance or in malice against us , or against what is most dear to us , commend with me retri
to the forgiveness of a merciful God , to the - butions of his kindness , not to the award of his justice . May he not render to others as they would have done to us ; but may he shower down his Kindnesses upon them in proportion aS thfeJjWOttUV have dealt-unkindly , in our regard . The Stbnrf Is " fast passing away ; an honest and upright people -will soon see through the arts that have been emi ployed to deceive it , and the reaction of generosity will soon set in . Inquiry is awakened , the respective merits of churches will be tried by fair tests , and not by worldly considerations ; and truth , for which we centend , will calmly triumph . Let your loyalty he unimpeaceable and your faithfulness to social -duties above reproach . Shut thus the mouths of adversaries , and gain the higher goodwill of your fellow countrymen , who will defend in you , as for themselves , your constitutional rights , including full religious liberty . \ -

Alleged Police Outrage In Clerkenwell. A...
ALLEGED POLICE OUTRAGE IN CLERKENWELL . A public meeting of the inhabitants of Clerken T well was held on Tuesday night at the Grown Tavern , Cterkeawell-green , for the purpose of adopting measures to liquidate the expenses that Mr . John Brooks and Mr . William Purchase , two inhabitants of Clerkenwell , had lately been put to , in being tried before the Central Criminal Court on a charge of assaulting and obstructing the police in the execution of their duty , but who were acquitted after one minute's deliberation by the jury . It was also proposed to vote some testimony to the conduct of the jury on that occasion . Mr . Wakley , M . P . for the borough , was voted to the chair amidst the acclama tions of the meeting .
The Chairman began hy saying that he was glad to find himself among his constituents , and he could assure them that whenever he was invited on an occasion like the present he would be sure to attend if his health permitted . The particulars of the case which tbey had met to consider would be detailed to them by other gentlemen , but he was told that an aggression had been made by the police on the rights of the citizens , and he thought such an aggression ought to be met and put down at once . ( Hear , hear . ) In former times the inhabitants of this country kept watch and ward themselves , and every householder was a police constable ; but now a system of centralisation had been adopted which had entirely altered
the old system , and lodged the power of police in the hands of the Crown . He said this with regret , for he liked the Crown . He had said before , and he would repeat it then , that he believed there was more real liberty nnder the Monarchy of this nation than in any other country in the world . ( Loud applause . ) But that ought to make the people more jealous of the exercise of this power , which of late years has been lodged ia the hands of the Crown , and which had actually added 5 , 000 men to the standing army , differing only from other soldiers in
this respect , that they wore blue coats instead of red ones . ( Laughter and applause . ) Now , with respect to the case before them , he wanted to know how these men came to be tried at all ? If they were sent for trial by a magistrate , he thought the resolutions ought to touch him . ( Great applause . ) And with regard to the policemas , he urged upon them that whenever au abase of authority was shown by them , the citizens ought never to rest satisfied until they represented his misconduct to the proper quarter , and had him removed from his position . He reminded them that ministers and secretaries of
state could know nothing of the outrages committed hy these men , unless the inhabitants made their complaints , and he believed if they would express their opinions earnestly and firmly , iaeir grievances would be remedied . ( Applause . ) Mr . Cameron , in moving the first resolution , stated the facts of the case as they appeared at the examination before Mr . Combe , the magistrate , and afterwards at the trial . It appeared that one night , about eleven o ' clock , two policemen , Cooper and Fisher , dressed in plain clothes , were leading two juvenile thieves up Warner-street , when Purchase , one of the acquitted prisoners , accidentally brushed up against Cooper , who immediately turned round ,
charged Purchase with attempting to rescue the prisoners , and knocked him down twice . Purchase however , succeeded in getting away from the policeman , and took refuge in Brooks' house , rushed down to the kitchen where Brooks , his wife , and two nieces were sitting , and passing by them went into his own bed-room . The policeman Cooper followed him into Brooks' kitchen , and collared Brooks , struck him , and aimed blows at his wife and nieces . Bach were the facts placed before Mr . Combe , the magistrate , by respectable and disinter , ested witnesses , and he could only account for Mr . Combe ' s not acquitting the prisoners on the ground that he did not pav attention to the case
before him . Tbey all knew tbat Mr . Combe had a knack of amusing himself , while evidence was going on before him , in reading the newspapers . ( Great applause and laughter . ) It was afterwards proposed to Mr . Brooks that if he could persuade Purchase ( who wag his brother-in-law ) to plead guilty he would be dismissed on his own recognizances , while no evidence whatever would be received against Brooks . But the old veteran spurned the offer , and determined that be and his brotherin-law should he tried together . ( Great applause . ) After criticising the conduct of the counsel and the judge at the trial , which he characterised as a mockery of justice , though their defects were nobly redeemed by the verdict of the jury , he concluded
by moving a vote of censure on the policemen Cooper and Fisher , whose evidence had been found on the trial to be false ; and that a memorial should be sent to the Commissioners of Police praying that they might be dismissed from her Majesty's service , which was seconded by Mr . Fisher . Policeman Fisher found a defender in Mr . J . M . Cameron ; and Mr . Wakeling justified the conduct of the magistrate in sending a case , which he could not himself determine , before a British jury ; and that the jury themselves only dismissed the prisoners because there was such a discrepancy in the evidence tbat they could not believe either one side or the other . This gave rise to great clamour , and Mr . Wakeling , after some further remarks * sat down .
The resolution was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously . A vote of thinks to the jury was then moved by Mr . Mason , and seconded by Mr . Freethy , auctioneer , who stated that on thenight of the attack on Brooks aud Purchase , about a quarter of an hour before the attack took place , both the policemen were in his house ( the Bull's Head , Hatton-garden ) and he would take his oath they were both drunk . ( Loud cries of «* hear , hear . " ) The vote was passed by acclamation . A committee was then appointed to raise sub . Ecriptions' for the purpose of paying the legal expenses Messrs . Brooks and Purchase had been put to , as well as to have a benefit to be got up for their behalf at some public place of amusement . Thanks were then voted to the Chairman , and the meeting separated .

COURT OF EXCHEQUER . -THnRsoAT , Aov . 21 { Con cludedVfrom : the seventh page . )'' - . " ¦ . nVnVKOB . M . P ., V . BHADS HAW . T-JOTJOJtBlfr ., % Ifr SSKtab the sitting of the Court , delivered jugdment in this case , which had been recS argued .. This was a . rate for a new trial on the ground of misdirection , and in the argument Jflveral pointshad-beenput-forward , on whiclnt wSeged on the part of the plaintiff that the Chief Baron had misdirected the jury . ¦ Time had been taken to consider these points , and the result was , that in his ( Mr . Baron Parke ' s ) opinion , the rule ought to be discharged generally . In the first place , it was complained that the Chief Baron had fallen into ah error ! of law in directing the jury
that the National Land Company was illegal as a lottery and falling within the various acts relating to such schemes . The question on this point was , whether this company was a lottery , and , & S SU 0 D , illegal , or whether it fell within the mean , ing of the 11 th section of the 12 th of George . II ., o . 20 . On this point it was that the rule had been chiefly acceded , to on his ( Mr . Baron Parke ' s ) part , and , after consideration , he must say that he was not perfectly satisfied upon it so as to . enable him to agree with the Chief Baron , in the opinion expressed by him at the trial , and if this were the main point in the case , or all that the Chief Baron had said on this subject , he should say there ought to be a new trial . But it was clear that the Chief
Baron told the jury that this company was illegal , both under the Lottery Acts and the Banking Act , and as it was perfectly clear that it was illegal under the Banking Act , it was quite indifferent whether it was also illegal as a lottery or not . As far as this action was concerned it was enough that the company was illegal-in one shape ; and there ought , therefore , to be no rule on this point ' . But the plaintiff ' s counsel by no mean ' s relied . on this as the main objection to the summing up . They stated that the substantial objection was , that the Chief Baron had left it to the jury to put a construction on the plea . 3 fow , it was enough to say' that this was a groundless imputation on the learned judge ' s direction . He left it to the jury to say what sense
the word "dishonest" meant in the libel--namely , whether it imputed political or-personal dishonesty to the plaintiff , and , whatever , sense it bore there , it must also bear in the plea where it . was justified . Then again it was objected ,. . tha ' fc .-the Chief Baron had left the question of > the defendant ' s 6 ona fides in publishing the libel , ' to the jury as an ingredient in the question whether the plaintiff was or was not entitled to a verdict on . the second issue : butthe ChiefBaron reports to us thatthat portion of his summing uphad reference to the question of damages , and , on examination of the summing up , " that does appear to he borne out . Upon this question of damages no doubt the bona fides , of tho defendant was a most material point , and on that
therefore the rule also falls to the ground . It was also contended that the jury had been erroneously directed , inasmuch as the Chief Baron had laid it down that the subscribers to the company could not recover back their money in equity . But what the jury were told was , that there would be difficulties in their way , not that it would be impossible . Now there can be no doubt that in this the direction was quite correct . There would be great difficultiesespecially if the scheme should turn out to be an illegal lottery , for then all would be in pari delicto , promoters and adventurers both , and all would be The onl
equally liable to penalties . y remaining complaint was , that the Chief Baron had told the jury that all the funds placed in Mr . O ' Connor ' s name in the bank would , in the event of his bankruptcy , go to his assignees and be lost to the subscribers , and in this I am also of opinion that his Lordship was quite correct . Such would unquestionably be the result of Mr . O ' Connor's bankruptcy . Under all the circumstances of the case , therefore , I am of opinion that the direction of my Lord was free from the objections imputed to it , and that the rule ought to he discharged . The rest of the Court concurred , and so the rule was discharged .
Explosions Iw Mines.—Afc The Meeting Of ...
Explosions iw Mines . —Afc the meeting of the Institution of Civil Engineers , on Tuesday , W . Cubitt , Esq ., President , in the chair , a paper was read , entitled , "A comparative view of the recorded explosions in coal mines , " by Mr . West . The reports of Faraday , Lyell , De la Beche , Playfair , and others , were carefully analysed and tabulated , from which it appeared , that tendencies towards a dangerous condition existed in mines reputed to be comparatively safe , and that , these tendencies were so numerous , and varied so suddenly in their nature and extent , as to necessitate attention to every kind of precaution . The proposed appointment , by the government , of inspectors of mines , was noticed , not with the intention of showing that their supervision would diminish the
responsibility of the mininsrengineers and overmen , but of demonstrating , that by establishing more constant communication between the various districts , they mig ht inducer the-general adoption of those measures of precaution which were found in certain mines to be so efficacious in averting accidents , or in affording means of safety when they , did occur . The different depths of mines , varying from seventyfive yards at Barley , to 300 yards at Haswell , did not appear to have any influence on the accidents . The tendency to the emission of carburetted hydrogen gas from certain seams would have appeared a more-rational reason , though tho records did not appear to bear out that theory , as mines receiving a tolerable character , had been the scenes of repeated explosions ; for instance , the Jarrow Mine ,
where , although reported " to be not very fiery , " there had been six explosions in twenty-eight years , and 140 persons had been , killed . The compatibility of general good ventilation , with the occasional occurrence of the most fatal explosions , was particularly dwelt on . The witnesses on the inquests after the Haswell and the Jarrow accidents agreed that the " ventilation was perfect , " "the pit full of air , " and "the air quite good , and plenty of it . " The fault , then , did not lie in the quantity of air , bnt rather in the difficulty Of directing it so generally throughout all parts of the mine , as to sweep away the gas as it was produced . The " splits" for the air were noticed , and the condition of the goaf , the pockets of gas formed in the roof , and the sudden irruptions
from the occasional falls in the goaf and old stalls , were dwelt on at great length , and , combined with the injudicious use of unprotected lights , and the liability of accident to the lamps , were shown to have been the probable cause of all the explosions . The miners' lamps were passed over somewhat too cursorily , as at the present moment , when so much has been done for their improvement , that part of the subject might have been descanted on with advantage . The precautions for saving life on the occurrence Of accidents , such as abolishing bratticed shafts , and sinking a pair at each mine at such distances apart as should insure one remaining intact , in case of an explosion injuring the other ; the " scaling off" of a portion of the fresh air for the exhausting furnace , and conducting the return air
into the upcast shaft at some height above the fire ; together with several minor details for insuring the constant working of the exhausting apparatus , to draw off the fatal " after-damp , or choke-damp , " were strongly insisted . The rashness and carelessness of the miners was instanced with regret ; but it was shown that by education and good example their better qualities might be brought out , and that then the best safeguard against accident would be the instinctive lore of life , and a . knowledge of impending danger from the infringement of any of the precautionary regulations established in the mines . The improvement of the workmen was , therefore , strongly insisted on , as more real benefit would probably result from such measures , than from the appointment of a host of government inspectors .
Scictoeoic the South-Wesmhs Railway . —Mr . W . Carter , the coroner-for-East Surrey held an inquest at Mr . Smith ' s , the Two Brothers Tavern , New-road , Batteraea-fitlds , upon the body , of Mr . Robert Henry Hancock , brother-in-law to Mr . Gooch , late chief engineer of the South-Western Railway . The deceased , who was in his thirtyseventh year , and who had . recently held the appointment of superintendent of the locomotive department at Windsor , was found killed on the South-Western line on Sunday night . Several witnesses stated their opinion to be that the deceased had destroyed himself , and it was shown that the pressure of indigence , and a great reverse of fortune , had unsettled his intellect . A verdict in accordance with this evidence . was returned . Fibe at Bermondsbt . —On Friday night , at a few minutes past eleven o ' clock , a fire , attended with a
very considerable destruction of property , broke out in a range of premises situate in Crumscottstreet , Grange-road , Bermondsey , and tenanted by several parties , who carried on in respective compartments the various trades of hide splitters , Jeither japanners , curriers , and paper sfainers . The buildings , which adjoined each other , were of great width , and to the lowest computation must have stretched in the other direction some 120 or 130 feet . This property was adjoined by sundry other buildings , and numerous stacks of bark belonging to Mr . Pugh , currier and leather dresser . At one period the total destruction of property , covering several acres of ground , appeared inevitable ; but owing to the indefatigable exertions of the firemen , who were aided by an abundant supply of water , the fire , by one o ' clock this morning ( Saturday ) , waa got under . The damage done by the disaster must be very serious . ..
Tub Late Pi , atb . Bobberies . — % Iartin Maguire , the man implicated along with Sirrelland Macauley in the late extensive plate robberies , and who had been remanded from the previous week on the charge of having possession of a gold watch stolen from-Halifai , was brought before Mr .

George Thompson had . arrived at New York and had been bitterl y " attacked by the pro-slaverv journals , . 1 . '
.. .... Westminster County Court, R • Cl...
.. .... WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT , Claw foe Salabv . — Stallwood ' . ' . « D ^ fjosson . .: Weonebdat , Nov . . I 3 rn .--The , :-plaintiff . stated that he had been engaged e > gh . V years reporter to the Northern Star , at a sa 0 f £ 52 per annum . On the 6 th of July , last r . a received notice that his services would not be , required after , the 6 th of Oct On applying for h ; lS three last . weeks ' . wages he was refused , paymr , ^ and therefore this action was brought fo > the recovery thereof . —The Judge stated tb ;^ a sot-off had been entered , by the defendant ^' ngainst the claim , of . which he supposed tho . plaintiff had received notice . —Mr .. Stallwood said he had , but denied being responsible for debts due bv a society , of which he was only the secre «
tary . He had resigned that Office , and , therefore , had nothing to do with the debts of the society . He saw , in the set-off , items , for advertisements inserted under tha head " Agency , " Now , he ( the plaintiff ) , thought , if that meant anything it showed that Mr . O'Connor was in his debt ; as ho was , in a certain sense , the agent of Mr . O ' Connor ' s . However , he would handover to his Honour certain documents to prove that he had discontinued to be the servant of the Benefit Society , on whose account the advertisements were inserted . —Mr . Rider , who appeared for Mr . O'Connor , said that the statement made by plaintiff was correct , so far as regarded the non-payment of his three last weeks' wages . The payment had been discontinued
on account of a debt , contracted by plaintiff for advertisements connected with a certain Benefit Society . The debt amounted to the sum of £ 7 6 s . 6 d . That portion of the debt , for the insertion of ad Vertisements , under the head " Agency , " .. were rer latingtothe plaintiff ' s private affairs ; he having commenced a provision store at Minster Lovel , Oxfordshire , which he caused to be advertised as an " agency . " The advertisements relative to the Benefit Society appeared in the Northern Star prior to any intimation being given by plaintiff of his intention to relinquish his office . The first insertion appeared February 27 th , 1847 , the last , January 12 th , 1850 . —Plaintiff , in repl y , denied his liability , inasmuch as he was only acting in capacity of
servant to the above-named society ; and further stated , that no demand had ever been made on him for the amount , on the contrary , that the bill had been given by direction of Mr . Eider to another party . He called as a witness Mr . John Arnott , who stated that he had been summoned to g ive evidence , that by direction of Mr . Rider he ( wijbness ) , as advertising agent of the Northern Star , . had ^ iven the bill of the debt due for . advertisements to Mr . Grassby , who succeeded plaintiff as secretary to the National Benefit Society . Ho knew no more of the affair . —Mr . Rider said that he had not made any demand on Mr . Grassby ; but had merely submitted the account to him , as Mr . Stallwood ' s successor , in . order to ascertain the position of affairs
Mr . Stallwood having issued a circular to the members , stating that a surplus of monies were in the Bank , and that there were no " hidden" demands on the Society . He did not consider it his business to apply to the present officers for the debt . Mr . O'Connor having distinctly said that as the advertisements were in the hand-writing of Mr . Stallwood , bore his signature , and were brought to tho office by him , he , of course , should demand payment of him . He would submit to his Honour ' s consideration a printed document , issued by the plaintiff , congratulating the members ef the Society oh its position—having money in hand , and no debt due , which evidently exonerated the Society , and Showed that Mr . Stallwood considered the debt specified , by the set-off , as his own . —Various documents were tendered , when the judge observed
that it was quite clear that the advertisements were ( with one or two exceptions ) inserted in the paper prior to any notice being given by plaintifi of his intention to withdraw from office , and previous to any of the documents tendered , being issued to the members . He would , however , further inspect those documents , and give judgment on Tuesday next . . Judgment was consequently given on Tuesday last . His Honour said he had gone through the documents , and his opinion was that the set-off was fully established . The defendant was justified in claiming of the plaintiff the amount due for advertisements . —Plaintiff : Am I to Understand that your Honour decides the case in favour of Mr . O'Connor ?—Judge : Of course . —Plaintiff Allow me to ask if your Honour has examined those documents of mine ?—Judge :: I have already told you , and given my decision .
Marylebojte County Court. Milm V. Brooks...
MARYLEBOJTE COUNTY COURT . Milm v . Brooks , —Fbabful Collision . This was a case heard at the last sitting of the Court , and reserved for judgment . It was an action brought by the plaintiff , a coal merchant , against the defendant , an omnibus proprietor , to recover compensation for injuries received through the negligence of defendant ' s servants . The damages were laid at £ 50 . The following are the facts : — on the night of Sunday , the 1 st of May last , the plaintiff being at - 'chapel , ' met with a lady with whom he was acquainted ; after the service he drove her in his chaise to her residence , St . John ' s-woodterrace , from whence he was returning when defendant ' s omnibus , without driver or conductor , came along , the horses in full gallop , when the
vehicle ran against plaintiff s chaise , Which was overturned , and plaintiff being thrown out sustained an extensive shock to the system , concussion of the brain , and other severe injuries , through which his life was for some months despaired of ; and up to the present time he had not recovered . On the part of the defendant it was deposed that at the time of the horses starting , which they did from the slamming of another omnibuse's door after dielodging its passengers , the vehicle was standing opposite the Marlborough Arms Tavern . The coachman was in the houso , but the conductor , who was by the side of the horses , 'caught hold of the reins and endeavoured to stop their career , hut in so doing was thrown" down and severely bruised . —His Honour said he had considered tbe case , and his udgment was for the amount sought for , less £ 10 . Judgment for £ 40 , with all costs .
Presentation Of The Dahomian Princess To...
Presentation of the Dahomian Princess to the OjUren . —It was stated in the papers , a short time since , that Capt . Forbes , of her Majesty ' s ship Bonnetta , had brought with him to this country a young African princess , presented to him by the King of Dahomey , and that her Majesty having been informed of the circumstance , had graciously signified her intention of taking charge of the child . Her Majesty having appointed Saturday last for the presentation of the princess , Cspt Forbes , accompanied by his interesting charge , attended at Windsor Castle for that purpose , when the young princess , who is not more than eight years of age , was presented to the Queen and the Prince Consort , in the presence of the Prince of Wales , the Princess Royal , other members of the
royal family , and several of the royal household . Capt . Forbes had been engaged in negotiating a treaty with the King of Dahomey , having for its object the termination of the export of slaves from that kingdom , when this interesting child , considered to be of high rank , was captured by the king from a neighbouring ruler , with whom he had been at war , and she had been detained as a close prisoner , not having been disposed of ( as is the custom of his Dahoman Majesty with captives of inferior rank ) to the Portuguese and Brazilian slave dealers . She had been closely confined for nearly two years , when she was presented ( as a mark of the highest respect and as an
especial favour ) to Capt . Forbes , by the King . After the formal presentation of the little princess to her Majesty at Windsor , she returned with Capt . Forbes to Winkfield-place , where she will remain until the necessary arrangements be made for her future education , under the auspices of her Majesty . Since her arrival in this country she has made considerable progress in the study of the English language , and manifests great musical talent and intelligence of no common order . Her hair is short , black , " and curling , strongly indicative ef her African birth ; while her features are pleasing and handsome , and her manners and conduct most mild and affectionate to all about her .
EuiQRATioJf MovBMEKxs . —The ship . Sir Robert Sale , Loader , which sailed from the Thames , under charter with the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners , arrived at Port Phillip , with 287 passengers , in the short space of eighty-two days , being one of the shortest passages on record . The girls sent to Port Phillip from the Irish workhouses do not appear , !© have turned out well . One of the local papers says : — " There are still some of the Irish orphans' ( sent out by tho Land and Emigration Commissioners ) remaining unengaged in the Emigration Barracks , and it is proposed to ship twelve of them an * to . Portland by the Enterprise this day . " The success of the party sent out by ihe Thomas Arbuthnot , shows that this can only have been owing to injudicious selection of the emigrants ; or of the surgeon , superintendent , or matrons , entrusted with the charge of them . Mrs . Pastimgton . —The ' original Mrs . Partington" was a respectable old lady living at Sidmouth
in Devonshire ; her cottage was on the beach , and during an awful storm ( that , I think , of Nov ., 1824 , when some fifty or sixty ships were wrecked at Plymouth , ) the sea rose to such a height as every now and then to invade the old lady ' s place of domicile ; in fact , almost every wave dashed in at the door . Mrs . 'Partington , with such help as she could command , with mops and brooms , as fast as the water entered tho house , mopped it out again ; until at length the waves had the mastery , and tha dame was compelled to retire to an upper story of the house . I well recollect reading in the Devonshire newspapers at the time an account similar to the above ; but the first allusion to the circumstance was , I think , made by Lord Brougham in his celebrated speech in the House of Commons on the Reform Bill , in which he compared the Conservative opposition to ba . like tha opposition of ' * Dame Partington and her mop , who endeavoured to mop out the waves of the Atlantic—Notes and Queries .

Bussell attended for Pomfret . — Alderman Gibbsasked whether . Mr . Pennington , to whom it appeared the prisoners had referred tradesmen for the supply , of character , was present . —Mr . Pennington stood forward immediately , and said , I have no acquaintance whatever with the fellows at the bar . I don't at all acknowledge them . —Mr . Ric hard C . Buckingham , of 21 , Crutched-friars , cork cutter and manufacturer , said he received a letter from the firm " of Campbell and Co ., of No . 8 ,
Billiter street , on the 25 th of October , requesting to know the terms upon which he did business . He answered the letter , and received another from Mr . Pomfret on the subject of his capability of executing an extensive export order . He answered that letter also , and lie called at their office the day after , in order to explain any misunderstanding which might have arisen in consequence of the fact that there were two houses in Crutched-friars of the . name , and he told them that he could not in honour ieterfere if the order were intended for the other concern . Mr . Pomfret ,. whom he eaw upon the occasion , seemed duly to appreciate the feeling , and the order was , tho consequence of the interview . ( A lauch . l The two prisoner ' s called at the witness ' s
counting-house , subsequently looked at samples , and consulted together . Some observations passed between them as to the price , as the invoice was subject to twelve and a half discount . They agreed ultimately that the invoice should be made out at the price ho charged , 5 s ., and they referred the witness to Mr . Pennington as evidence of their respectability . The inquiries after Mr . Pennington himself , however , we re not satisfactory , for nobody know anything at all about him , and of course the order was declined . —The . . witness said upon his cross-examination that his impression was that Pomfret was clerk to Campbell . —Alderman Gibbs then directed that Mr .

new prisoner said his name was John Pennington , and he stood as far apart from the other prisoners as he could , and declared that he was undergoing most oruel indignity merely because some persons had got hold of and made a base use of his cards . — Edward Howling ( 46 B division of the Metropolitan Police ) said : At the latter end of March or the be-§ inning of April I received such information as inuced mo to watch his houso in Pimlico , and I watched him from place to place . I saw him and Campbell speaking together at a public-house in the Strand . I have no doubt that they were the persons . —Pennington : This is really a dreadful thing . I am here charged with being acquainted with a man I never saw before . —Mr . T . E . Death ,
of St . Martin ' s-le-Grand , engraver and printer , said that his recollection of " Campbell and Co . " having been refreshed by what he had seen in tho newspapers , he called at the Justice-room to give the firm a lift . What he lost was a trifle , but the case illustrated character . Mr . Campbell gave an order on the 24 th July for cards to the amount of 12 s . Gd ., which was sent to his then address , at No . 34 , Coleman-street . The boy who took the cards home had received directions not to leave them without receiving the money , but he returned empty . Soon afterwards Mr . Campbell called in the witness's absence , and gave another order , which the boy received the strictest injunctions not to part with for a moment without the amount ,
which altogether extended to £ 1 9 s ., but the hoy returned as before , not having had the power to resist the arguments of Messrs . Campbell and Co . — Alderman " Gibbs : Did you apply to . him yourself afterwards ? Witness : Yes ; I went immediately afterwards , and I saw Mr . Campbell and demanded the cards . He said the cards were not there , and that he all along expected credit . I told him that I never gave credit to strangers , and that I should certainly discharge the boy who had neglected the strict orders he had received . ' Oh then" said he , " If you turn away the boy I'll take him into my employment . " ( Laughter . )—Alderman Gibbs : Did you . see anybody else at Mr . Campbell's house ? Witness : I did . I saw his clerk , a stout fellow ,
who said to me , pointing to Campbell ,. " That s an ass . I'll settle the matter with you . " ( Great laughter . ) So the stout fellow took my address , said he'd call and settle it ; but he never came , and I gave it up as a bad job . —Mr . Buckingham , breather to the former witness of that name , and also residing in Crutched-friars , said that . Campbell called at his house , looked at some samples of corks , gave the reference of " Pennington and Co ., " and left word that , if the reference was approved , the goods required would be to the amount of £ 4210 s , The inquiries about Mr . Pennington not being satisfactory the matter dropped . The witness said that , upon inquiring for Mi " . Pennington , he was introduced to a very old man , who said the
house of "Campbell and Co . " was a highly respectable house , and , if they wanted any assistance ; he would most willingly give it himself . ( Laughter . ) —Pennington : You see these people have got hold of some of my cards , and regularly placed a person to represent me for bad purposes . Upon crossexamination , the witness said he saw both Campbell and Pomfret when . the applications were made , and considered that they both represented the firm of Campbell and Co . — Joseph Young , bootmaker , of Greystofce-plaee , Fetter-lane , said : Mr . Campbell came to me , and ordered a pair of boots on the loth of August . I took them to his counting-house , but nobody was there , so I brought them home . He called next
day , tried on the boots , said he had unfortunately left his money with his clerk , put down a dollar , said he would call next day and pay the rest , and off he went . ( Laughter . ) I called and called , and at last he threatened to charge me with the police . — Mr . W . H . Dickson , engraver , stated that the firm of Campbell and Co . aid him out of a door-plate and a set of cards , to the amount of £ 1 8 s . Campbell and Pomfret were together when the order was given , and the suggestion of the latter , that the cards should bo plain , and not embossed , was adopted . —Pennington said it was quite monstrous to detain him upon matters of which he knew nothing . He was well known in the City , and particularly to Mr . Forrester . —Alderman Gibbs : I
have been asking him whether he knows you , and he says he does not . —Pennington : There is no charge against me . Why should I be detained ?—Alderman Gibbs : In a former case it was proved that you said you were not Mr . Pennington at one time , and you were introduced next day as Mr . Pennington ; and all that has been stated about you confirms the evidence in that case . —Scott , the officer , who apprehended the prisoners , said there were other persons who would on a future day appear against them . —The prisoners were then remanded . GUILDHALL . —CinniNAt Wiseman . —Sir Peter Laurie asked Mr , Alderman Humphrey , the sitting magistrate of this court , if he had seen the report
that had gone tho round of the daily journals , containing a statraent made from the bench by Mr . Alderman Challis , relative to tbe generally anticipated departure of Cardinal Wisaman from this country?—Mr . Alderman Humphrey said he certainly had seen it , but not without some surprise , as he had since ascertained that no such information as thafof the Cardinal having received notice to quit London in forty-ei ght hours . had as yet come before the City authorities , in any form , official or otherwise . He had made inquiries , and the result satisfied him that Mr . Alderman Challis had been misled in consequence of reading an incorrect statement that appeared in one of tho newspapers to that effect .
MARLBOROUGH-STREET . — Extraorwnart Case op Aueged Mistaken iDEsrirr . —Mr . John Goldsmid , of No . 39 , Mecklenburg-square , attended before Mr . Bingham , to produce evidence to show that he was not the individual who had assaulted a revenue officer , named George Trenaman , at the Blue Posts Tavern' Haymarket , on the Sth . mtti ^ It will be recollected that at the first hearing , of the case , Trenaman said , as he was in the execution of his duty , about to serve the usual notice paper on the landlord of the Blue Posts , the defendant , who , with a number of other gentlemen and females , was standing before the bar , accosted him with a proposal to have something to drink , which was declined , and then proceeded to push him about rouehlv .
This was the assault , and the defence of Mr . Goldsmid was that he was not the right person ; that he was not at the Blue PosJs that day at all , but that he was at Brighton , an assertion that could bo substantiated by his family and his servants . The complainant having persisted on the defendant as the person who had committed tho assault upon him , the case was adjourned for a week to procure additional evidence . —The landlord of the Blue Posts was now examined , and swore not only that Mr . Goldsmid was not in his house ' on ihe night in question , but that the assault complained of was in reality committed by a gentleman named Hoggins —Mr . Goldsmid ' s brother deposed that the defendant was in Brighton at the time the alleged assault took place . —The complainant said , notwithstanding this evidence , he was still certain that Mr .
Goldsmid was the gentleman who assaulted him , and he called Harriet Rock , barmaid at the Anglesea Hotel Haymarket , who swore positively that on the night in question Mr . Goldsmid was at her bar about nine o'clock at night , 'in company with the boots of the Blue Po « ts . —Mr . Bingham : I am of opinion that tho defendant ought to provide oho surety to answer-any charge that may be made at the sessions The defendant denies he ia the person who assaulted the complainant , and he is entitled , therefore , to have the opinion of a British jury on the evidence he can bring forward . Without expressing any opinion on the matter , Irequiro him to find one surety to answer she charge at the sessions . _ Robbeby at the Great .

Jane Smith , the keeper of a house of ill repute in Brydges-street , Covent-garden , appeared before Mr . Arnold upon an adjourned summons , to answer a charge of having assaulted and otherwise illtreated a young country girl named Emily Stevenson , otherwise Watts , who had been introduced , as she alleged , to the defendant by a gentleman who had dscoyed her from her home at Nottingham , and subsequently deserted her . —Evidence was adduced which contradicted the girl ' s statement as to the bruises on her personand as to her being sober ; . on
, the evening of her flight from Brydges-street . —Mr . Arnold said that after an attentive consideration of the whole of the evidence , he should not feel justified in pronouncing a conviction against tho defendant upon the unsupported testimony of a person who had given such contradictory accounts of her former life and character , and several material parts of whose evidence had been wholly controverted by witnesses entitled to the fullest credit , and he should therefore at once order the defendant to be discharged . ; Since the case was brought under his notice he had received various communion 1 tions respecting the girl , one of which contained an offer on tho part of a benevolent society for the re formation tff young females for her admission into
their asylum ; and also a . letter from her mother at Nottingham , who expressed an anxious wish to receive her back under her roof , in which case he understood that her former master was again willing to provide her with ample employment . He should leave it to the girl to determine as to which of the above courses she was desirous to adopt , and should direct her , in the meantime , tobe conveyed back to the , Infirmary of Hackney Workhouse , where she would remain until her .. health was re-established . The magistrate announced the receipt of . a £ 5 note from "A Nobleman ; " I 63 . from' "A . B . C . ; *? and 10 s . from . ' * X .

Game attended for the prisoner , who represented herself to be a * go verness . " —The Rev . James , Sherman , minister of the Surrey Chapel in the Blackfriars-road , deposed that about the middle of the year 1849 the prisoner obtained a sum of £ 5 or £ 6 from him by
fraudulent pretences , on the promise of getting the child of a member of his congregation into , the Orphan Working School . —Mr . Samuel Wood ; a gentleman residing at Walthamstow , said the prisoner had obtained twenty guineas from him on her undertaking to secure the election into the Governesses' Institution of a lady for whom he was interested . —Several persons were examined from whom the prisoner , by the most art / ul craft and plausible representations , had obtained sums of money varying from five pounds to five shillings . It was said that the prisoner had hot only managed to live in dashing style herself , and keep her page in , livery , but supported her mother and two sisters by this species of plunder .- Sergeant Cjuinnear and
Merit , who have the management of the case , informed the magistrate tbat they had at present as many as twenty oases against the prisoner , and if remanded they had very little doubt the charges would amount to as many more . —The prisoner , who during the whole of the examination kept her face concealed , was remanded until Tuesday next .

which was kept locked . Oh the following day the key of the cupboard was missing , and could not be found , and on Saturday last it was forced open , and the watch and chain missing . Having no doubt that the watch must have been taken by some person , in the house , he sent for Sergeant Golf , and that officer , on questioning the prisoner , who is in the prosecutor ' s employment , ascertained that she had been . out on the previous afternoon , and had been in company with a young man who kept her company , named Plumb . Gott subsequently found out Plumb , and that person at once acknowledged that the prisoner had , given him the watch saying she had . fourid it at the top of the street , and he at once gave tip the property . —Sergeant Goff in his
evidence said , that it was his belief . that . the young man Plumb was quite innocent of any guilty knowledge that tha watch had been stolen , as he had made his master acquainted with the circumstance " , and on his . recommendation was about to advertise the property . On this representation Plumb was admitted as a witness against his sweetheart , and the latter , was fully committed for trial .

They took - the prisoner into custod y when he struggled and resisted them ; calling out to the crowd that : it was ah arbitrary proceeding and calling out . to the mob who followed to go and
inform the meeting of his apprehension . Archer and Fisher confirmed the above facts , and described the place where ; the , meetings . wore hold . as being constructed for : the purpose of debating . On lockin the prisoner . up in the station-house , they ( tha offlcetB ) returned to the house in Turnmill-street and they found an immense congregation of persona in the heat of debate , condemning the arbitrary conduct of the police , and proposing a subscription to pay any penalty that might be inflicted .

Turnmill-street , to afford assistance to Polish and Hungarian Refugees . He was a shoemaker , and attended there to lend his aid towards tbe object .

They subscribed what they ' could ^ afford in aid of their object and carried ; on their , proceedings in a quiet and peaceable manner . He went to the meeting as a member to hear his political rights explained , and they took it by . turns to mind the door , and prevent policemen put of uniform entering the room , —air , Combe said . that further inquiries should be made . He ordered the prisoner to find bail , himself in £ l () and two sureties in £ 20 each , to appear at this court at a . future day to answer the charge , and Mr .

. .The Polish Committee . ¦ A Public Mee...
. . THE POLISH COMMITTEE . ¦ A public meeting was held on Wednesday evening , at the" British Institution , Cowper-street , to hear the report of the Committee , relative to tha state of the funds , ' and the general position of thej Committee and tbe Refugees . About nine o ' clock , Mr . Houseman was called to tho chair , and in an impartial manttfil' stiltod tttQ object of the meeting . Mr . Bezer delivered in tho report of the auditors , from which it appeared that the expehditure » during the existence of tho Committee , had been , upwards of £ 108 , exceeding the receipts by £ 4 lis . OJd ., which was due to Messrs . Levi and Davis , excepting 6 s . 3 d . - dueto : Mr . Brown . There were also liabilities against the Committee amounting to above £ 37 . He then entered into a detail of the whola transactions of the Committee since its formation .
The report having been moved and seconded for adoption , Mr . Daddo moved as an amendment : — " Tbat ? auditors be appointed by that meeting ; " which was supported by Mr . T . Brows and others . Several questions were asked of Mr . Davis , re . specting the accounts , which were satisfactorily answered . The motion and amendment were then put , and the motion fou the adoption of the report waa car « ried by a large majority . Mr . Davis , in a speech of great length and ability , detailed tho causes which led to a difference between a portion of the Poles and the Committee ; showed tbat the Committee decided by a majority of twenty-one to three , to cease meeting at
Turnmill-street , asanattempt had been made to intimidate them ; and tbat the minority , acting with x few delegates from tho Trades , had formed a new committee . He then read a protest from upwards of forty Poles , objecting to a joint committee ot Poles and English , and expressing their entire confidence in the English Committee . Six weeks after that they signed another protest , stating that they had no confidence in the English . From this it was evident that they , being ignorant of the language , had been tampered with by others . Mr . D , ma then read an extremely well-written address , signed by about twenty-five Poles and Hungarians , who were present on the platform , stating their grati * tude . to Mr . Davis and the Committee , for the exertions they had made , requesting their further friendship , and regretting the ingratitude of some of their brethren .... Mr . Davis concluded by saying ,
that they had had a good opportunity of distinguishing between the deserving and the undeserving , and were determined to render tho former all the assistance in their power . Mr . Brow . v , in an energetic address , supported the decision of the Trades Committee , and defended tho Poles from the charge of ingratitude . Brienski , an activo leader among one section of the Poles , defended their conduct , and stated that the Committee did not approve of their going to Holstein , which was an interference with their Democratic rights . The Committee were then * servants , and had no right to dictate to them . ' He also complained of the Committee retaining on their list one whom the Poles believed to have been a spy . Col . Odokski , an old veteran Democrat , and Capt . Rola , in vain endeavoured to procure a hearing—they belonging to the party supporting tha original Committee .
The Chairman in vain strove to induce the Poles , who appeared nearly equally divided in numbers , to a state of quietude , and , twelve o ' clock having arrived , the gas was put out , and the meeting dissolved . ..-,...

The Municipal Elections At Stockport.—Ch...
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS AT STOCKPORT . —CHARTIST INFLUENCE . During Dr . M'Douall ' s incarceration , the Chartists of Stockport memoralised tho Home Secretary for his release , or , otherwise , a relaxation of the harshness which the prison rules subjected him to . To this memorial twenty-seven of the Tory Councillors attached their names , and for this one good action the Chartists of this town have not opposed them in the Municipal Elections , and consequently they have won every contest . However , an unlocked for vacancy arose in the middle ward , which Mr . Alexander Henry Shaw was appointed to fill . The Chartists remembered , however , that when he was asked to sign the M'Douall testimonial , he had said , " No ; if the scratch of my pen would do him any good , I would not do it , nor for any such an animal I" and they resolved to opposo him . The Tory Committee was informed of tba
Chartist hostility to their candidate , and requested to withdraw him . Mr . Shaw expressed his regrefi and sorrow for offending tho Chartist body , and stated that he was unacquainted with their place of meeting , otherwise he would have attended and given an ample apology . But when requested for a written recantation of the offensive expression , he unhesitatingly refused . The Chartists then began their canvas , and tbe Whigs offered to defray the expense of the Chartist canvas , which was wisely , refused . After a desperate struggle , in the worst ward in the town for Chartist influence , the final stato of tho poll waa as follows ¦ —Chapman ( Whig ) 228 : Shaw ( Tory ) 225 . Majority , 3 . Honour to the Chartists of Stockport ! They have justly punished inhumanity , and shown their power .
