Monday, Mat. 10. House Of Lords.-Income-...
teriorated the labouring class , regarded the free settlers as intruders . This impure population , moreover , would gradually spread over Australia , and ultimately reach and corrupt ^ ew Zealand . The Colonial House of Assembly would bave shortly to determine which interest—their own or that of the mother country—should prevail ; it was their dutv to prefer tbe interest of the colonial community , and it was understood that no person would be elected in the colony who would not pledge himself to resist tho continuance of transportation thither . Under these circumstances it was wise and prudent for tbe imperial government to comply with tbe wishes of the people of Yan Diemen ' s Land , tbat convicts should not in future be sent to
that colony . ( Loud cheers . ) Sir G . GREy reminded the house tbat the question , though ostensibly narrowed to the case of a single colony , in reality involved the whole controversy whether transportation should be continued as a secondary punishment ; and if not , ra wnat manner tbe government were to dispose of the convicted criminals tbat accumulated m our prisons at home . He contended that transportation , as a sysiem , was indispensable ; and , after repeated consideration , had received the approval oi tbe house ceaeraUv , and of committees of inquiry , as being the best " available resource for the disposal of a eonvist population . With regard to the special case p leaded in behalf of Van Diemen ' s Land , the Home Secretary admitted that the system was extensively
disliked in the colony ; but he could not concede the position thatany definite promise of discontinuance had been made by the government , so as to justify the charge of breach of faith . Some urgent appeals had been received from the colonists , and an understanding entered into that a temporary suspension of transportation should be granted . This engagement bad been carried out , and if the expectations of the inhabitants were in somo measure belied by the resumption of the system after two years' interval , this arose entirely from the accumulation of prisoners in this country , and the practical difficulties tbat stood in the way of every attempt to dispense with or modify the convict system as heretofore worked . He then addressed
himself to the statements offered by Sir W . Moles worth , with the view to show that tbey were over-coloured , especially ia respect to the number of convicts lately sent to , and accumulated in , Van Diemen ' s Land , and read extracts from official documents , setting forth the prosperous and improved condition in which that colony existed at the present moment . Much of this improvement he assigned to tbe care taken at home to impress lessons of industry and morality upon the convicts before tbe sentence of transportation was carried into effect . The Pentonville and Parkhurst discipline had worked well ; and the transported felons now often became
valuable labourers in the colonies to which they were sent . Further arrangements were contemplated , principally with the intention of distributing the number of convicts © vera wider area , or their emplovment upon remunerative works , into which tbe right hon . baronet entered at considerable length . He trusted that the house would not , by assenting to the present motion , increase the difficulties of ihe government , while shrinking from ihe task of finding some substitute for transportation as a punishment and outlet for our criminals . Mr . C . Asstet supported the motion . The hon . member was proceeding with his argument , when The house was counted out at half-past seven .
THURSDAY , MAT'S . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Property Tax Bill was read a third time and passed . The Earl of Carlisle moved the second reading of the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Management Bill , with the view of having it referred to a select committee , where its provisions might be -advantageously considered . Lord Staslev suggested that the second reading of the bill should be postponed , and that it should fie referred to a select committee to investigate it fully before giving their assent to its principle . After some discussion the bouse divided , and the meinbers were—For tbe original motion ... ... 46 For the amendment ... ... 28
Majority ... ... ... —18 The bill was then read a second time , and referred to a select committee . Their lordships then adjourned .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Mr . Ewast moved the following resolution : — " That it is expedient that the mitigations which have been made to tbe laws inflicting capital punishment in England , be extended to Scotland , and , as far as possible , to the colonial possessions of this country . " Sir G . Gust said he quite agreed iu the spirit of ihe resolution ; but there were great difficulties in the way of bringing it at once into operation , and he hoped the hon . gentleman would not press his resolution .
Mr . Ewakt , under these circumstances , consented to the withdrawal of his motion . Mr . ~ ff . J . Fox then moved the Mowing resolution : — " That it is expedient to promote the education of the people in England and "Wales , by the establishment of Free schools for secular instruction , to be supported by local rates and managed by committees elected specially for that purpose by the rate-payers . "—The hon . gentleman entered at great length into the advantages to be derived from ' secular education , leaving the religious instroction of the children entirely in the hands of the parents and their religious pastors , whatever might be their creed . As an illustration of bis argument he cited amongst others , the fact tbat by the returns of the state of crime in England there was an increase amongst the imperfectly educated , while in'Ireland , where they enjoyed the benefits of secular education , there had been a large decrease of criminals amongst the same class .
Sir . G . Gbet said tbat although he could not agree to the resolution worded as it was , yet he could assure the hon . gentleman that the government would by no means oppose itself to tbe extension of good , sound , useful education amongst the people . So far as local rates might be desirable for this purpose , he was not disposed to differ from the hon . gentleman , though he might hesitate before he would make such a system compulsory throughout the country , somo portions of which might be in such a position as not to be able to bear the additional taxation . The great objection , however , to the resolution was , tbat the principle of the scheme of the hon . gentleman was , that the rates should be provided for schools where secular education was
alone given , and from which , as a matter of course , religions instruction was excluded . Now , this could not 'fail to give an advantage to those schools in which religion formed no part of the instruction given over those in whieq it formed the chief , or one of the principal elements . The same principle pervaded the bill introduced by the hon . gentleman last year , and after % long discussion it was rejected on the second reading by a very large majority . In conclusion , tbe right hon . gentleman expressed a hope that the bouse would not agree to the motion . Tbe motion was supported by Mr . Hume , Colonel TaoMrsos , Mr . Trelawxt , Mr . M . Gibson , and Mr . Adoerley , and opposed by Mr . A . B . Hope , Mr . "W . Patiex , ami Mr . L . TriOBAU .
The Solicitor Geseral could not agree either that religious education was impracticable , or that a secular system was easy to be carried out . Any secular system must he often unjust and always complicated . The religious system was rapidly expanding , as was evident from the fact , tbat the number of scholars in tbe schools of the National Society had , during the nine years since government aid had been granted to them , increased from -550 , 000 to 950 , 000 , and the voluntary contributions had increased from £ 3 , 000 to £ 20 , 000 per annum . The probable consequence of the system proposed to their consideration would be to shut up many of the schools , in which the teaching of religion was a sine qua non .
Mr . Cohosh contended that there was sufficient provision already made for religious instruction in this country . Indeed to so great an extent was religious instruction provided for , that it would hereafter be hopeless for any minister to propose to that house a vote for religions education . The hon . gentleman advocated the system of education which prevailed in Massachusetts , the people of which were , he contended , far better educated than the people of Kent . Sir R . tt . Isous said that knowledge of itself , and apart fron religion , wag nnmi red evil ; and he congratulated the government oa having such an able-law officer as the Solicitor-General to resist a motion so pregnant with the seeds of infidelity as that of the hon . member for Oldham . Mr . S . Hebbsbt and Mr . HktwostU opposed the motion .
Mr . W . J . Fox replied , after which Tbo bou . se divided , and the numbers were—For the motion 49 A S * m 8 fc . . 13 Q Mijontj # aa WbESiZZuS"h * . ** lKre «• bma in a S ^^ SWSSpSi fi £ J ^ Sssssssss ussi si aaryntr wk ? . ?* omply with their whhes '"* ob J refc t 0 ftewen , Mr .

FRIDAY , Mat 23 . HOUSE OF LORDS . — The Registration or Assurances Bill passed through committee . After which vhoir lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . — The house having resolved itself into committee on tho Ecclbsiastical Titles Assvmphos Bill , on the first clause being proposed , , Mr . T . Doxcombb moved tha +. the clause be postponed until tho house be in possession of the brief , rescript , or letters apostolical , upon which the enactment in the said clause is founded . The hon . gentleman contended that tbe rescript should be set forth in tbe act , or no prosecution could be successfully maintained under its provisions , and lamented the retrogade policy of tbe noble lord at the head ofthe government , who , not content with the spirit of bigotry which he had evoked , seemed resolved to sustain , at all hazards , the new and false position in which he had placed himself .
After some discussion the house divided , and the proposition of Mr . Duncombe for postponing the clause was negatived by a majority of 221 to 49 . Sir F . Thesiger then moved an amendment in the first clause , the object of which was to bring all former , briefs or rescripts within the declaratory enactment of the preamble coupled with the first clause of tbe bill . A lengthened discussion ensued , after which the amendment was withdrawn .
Tbe Earl of Arundel and Surrey then moved , as an amendment , the insertion of these words , — " Save in so far as the exercise of such jurisdiction , authority , pre-eminence , or title , shall be necessary for spiritual purposes . " His object was to exclude from the operation ofthe bill all rescripts so far as spiritual purposes were concerned . The Aiiorsey-Gbsebal opposed the amendment . After a discussion , in which Mr . Moore , Mr . Keogb , Lord J . Russell , and Sir H . W . Barron , took part ,
The committee divided , and the amendment was negatived by a majority of 316 to 61 . Mr . Sadlier then moved as an amendment , the insertion of the words " for all temporal purposes . " Another most desultory discussion took place , after which , The committee once more divided , and the amendment of Mr , Sadlier was negatived by a ma » jority of 317 to 57 . The house then resumed . ; the chairman reported progress , and obtained leave to sit again on Mon-( 19 V ¦

Derbyshire Miners. A Public Meeting Of T...
DERBYSHIRE MINERS . A public meeting of the Miners of Derbyshire was held on Monday , May 19 th , at Staveley , which was very well attended , and an excellent spirit displayed . . The delegates and various speakers were escorted to tbe place of meeting by a band of music , and it is computed' that there were from 1 , 200 to 1 , 400 present . Mr . Wm . Walker was called to the chair , and the following resolutions were moved and seconded by Messrs . Millership , Knowles , Mosley . and Clark , and passed unanimously : —
" That this meeting , seeing the beneficial effects produced by the Miners' Association , resolve to join the same , and to extend its just principles to the utmost of our power . " " That , as the Seamens' Association has invited the Miners to join with them for mutual protection , and also invited as to send a delegate to their Conference , to be held in Sheffield on the first Tuesdav in June—resolved , that we hereby elect Mr . William Daniells as a fit and proper person to represent the Miners of the counties of Derby and Xottingham at such Conference .
Tho meeting was then addressed by Mr . Daniblls at great length . He thanked them for the unexpected honour which they had conferred upon him , and for that mark of confidence they bad reposed in him ; and as they had chosen him fairly and openly , he would serve them faithfully . The speaker then , in forcible and convincing language , exposed the wrongs inflicted on the Miners of Derbyshire , especially at Lings and Staveley , by robbing them of their weight , and assured them that nothing but union would save them . Mr . Danielle concluded a powerful speech by moving the following petition to the House of Common ? , which was carried am . dis . : —
" TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AXfl 1 KBLAXB , IX PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED . " The Petition of tbe undersigned Coal and Iron-Stone Miners of tho County of Derby"Humbly Sheweth , —That your petitioners are at present , and have been for a long time , suffering grievous injury from the want of some proper enactment , whereby the wages earned by your petitioners could be more accurately ascertained and determined . " That , inasmuch as the legislature has provided that coals shall be bought and sold by standard weight , and not by measure , and that the consumers of coals in the metropolis are protected from fraud by a clause in such enactment , compelling that certain machines shall be always available for the use of such consumers . Your
petitioners , therefore , would respectfully submit to your honourable house , that a similar enactment should be passed , providing tbat coal should be worked , and paid for by the regular standard weight . " Your petitioners would further intimate , that at present there is no uniform system of working coals—some places working by measure , and others by weight . Tnat , where worked by weight , there is much disparity in the respective collieries and districts—some enforcing twenty-five cwt . to the ton , some twenty-seven and a half cwt . to the ton , of 120 lbs . to the cwt ., as at Ling ' s Colliery , in this county , and others more . | That were worked by measure , there is also much disparity—some collieries enforcing sixteen quarts to the peck , and others eighteen quarts to the peck , thereby engendering much confusion and uncertainty to your petitioners , in regard to ascertaining their wages .
" Your Petitioners would , therefore , humbly pray your honourable house to take the above grievance into consideration , and tbat your honourable house will , as early as possible , pass an act providing tbat all coals and iron-stone shall be worked and paid for by weight , the standard being , as in all other thing * , 20 cwt . to the ton , of 112 lbs . to the cwt . ; and that it be made in such act a punishable offence against the law for any coal or iron-stone master to exact more from their workmen than 20 cwt . to the ton , of 112 lbs , to the cwt ., ao that the wages of your petitioners may be ascertained by that mode and ho other . Your petitioners further pray that all machines for weighing coals or iron-stone shall be under tbe supervision of tho respective government inspectors of weights and measures , and shall be adjusted by . them at least once a month . " And your petitioners , as in duty bound , will ever pray . "
A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman and speakers . The lively strains of music were again heard , and the meeting broke up in tbe most orderly manner . After the above meeting was over a county delegate meeting was held in the large room , Nag's Head Inn , Staveley , and much important business transacted . Mr . Walker was again called to tbe chair , and Mr . Daniells acted as secretary . The degates sat two days , and drew up a code of laws for the government of the Miners Association in the counties of Derby and Nottingham ; 2 , 000 copies were ordered to be printed . A letter was read by the Secretary from W . P . Roberts . Esq ., solicitor , relative to the Ling ' s trial , and Mr . Daniells was ordered to proceed to Manchester to meet Mr . Roberts on Monday , May 26 th , to make tbe necessary arrangements for such trial to come off at tbe next Chesterfield County Court , on Wednesday , June 11 th .
The Miners, And The Wolverhampton Conspi...
THE MINERS , AND THE WOLVERHAMPTON CONSPIRACY CASE . TO THB EDITOR OF TBE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —I am anxious , through the medium of your valuable journal , to call the attention of the miners of Northumberland and Durham to the pending trial of those gentlemen connected with tho National Association of Trades , the prosecution of whom by the Wolverhampton capitalists , necessarily and consequently affects ' the well-being of the union of all the associated trades in the kingdom . The miners have long been struggling to
emancipate themselves , aud have more than onee sought to become united with that Association , but from some cattseor other have not , as yet , don © SO ; and , as I know that there are a great number of miners who see the utility of a , national organisation of labour or Cra & is bevag established , it is but their duty to rally around the party thus threatened , inasmuch , _ as should this prosecution be successful , the example will be speedily followed by the masters of every trade , who would thereby bo empowered to crush all attempts to -protect labour , by the imprisonment of its advocates and chief supporters . It is true that the organisation of the miners is very limited at the present time , and that avast
majority of that body are ao lukewarm and careless in what directly concerns themselves ; yet I would fain" hope that those of them who we united , will take the above matter into consideration , and forward their niito to support the defence of the parties implicated , and even those not in union can mdmdually forward what they can spare to so deserving a purpose .

Clerkenwell. —Attempt To Stab A Policeha...
CLERKENWELL . —Attempt to Stab A POLICEhah . —Flaoido Cornoti , an Italian , who was described in the police-sheet as a picture-frame maker , of 3 , Summer-street , Clerkenwell . was placed at the bat before Mr . Combe , charged with having violently assaulted and stabbed ' at policeconstable Ward , and Mary Slater and Mary Collins were also charged with having assaulted tbo officer and attempting to rescue the prisoner . Ward , whose hand was bound up , and who was much injured , deposed that on Monday morning at about two o'clock , ho was on duty in Warnerstreet , Cold-bath-fields , when his attention was attracted by a noise , and on proceeding to the spot he found the prisoners , who were hooting and disturbing the whole of the neighbourhood . He remonstrated with them and urged them to go home quietly , when tbe man turned upon him and abused took him into which the
him . Witness custody , on female prisoners rushed at him , and attempted to rescue tho male p risoner . A police-constable came to his assistance , and they succeeded in apprehending the prisoners . The male prisoner was exceedingly outrageous , and ( ought and kicked at witness , and knocked him down . The prisoner took a knife from his pocket and swore he would rip him open , and ho opened it , and made a stab at witness ; but mischief was prevented in consequence of the point of the blade coming in contact with his belt , which was cut . Other police-constables gave corroborative testimony . The prisoner denied the charges . Mr . Combe said it would have no good effect upon such a fellow as tha prisoner to inflict a pecuniary fine upon . him . He would therefore sentence him to one month ' simprisonment , without fine , in the House of Correction . The women he sentenced to pay a fine of 20 s . Cornoti was then taken from tho bar and locked up .
Stealing a Will . — Edward Rogers , alias Clement Percy , a young man , was placed at tlie bar before Mr . Combo , charged by Mrs . Ann Golding , an elderly lady residing at No . 35 , Upper North-place , Gray's-inn-road , with stealing a will , in which she had an interest of £ 1 , 000 . —It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix that tha prisoner , who was an advertising agent , residing at Lewisham , was her nephew , and she reposed great confidence in him . A gentleman named Green died and bequeathed to her £ l , 000 j leaving the will to that effect in her possession . In 1818 she deputed the prisoner to take tho will to . Basingstoke in order to make somo inquiries respecting it , and be subsequently returned it to her , when
she deposited it in a drawer , and the prisoner knew tbat she kept it there . He had no interest in the will . On Thursday last she missed the will from the drawer inner bed-room . She suspected the prisoner , and requested Mr . Cheltnam , a relation of hers , to have an interview with tbe prisoner , and to question him upon tbe subject , when he said it might be amongst some of his family papers at Lewisham , and afterwards that it was in the possession of Mr . Hookam , of Bream ' s-buildiugs , Chancery-lane , aud he would bave to pay £ 2 for its restoration . She consulted with the police , and gave the prisoner into custody , and he was brought to this Court . —Mr . Robert Charles Cheltnam gave confirmatory evidence . —The prisoner was remanded .
On Wednesday Alfred Walker and Sarah Mort-Iske , the former a sturdy-looking young man , 23 years of age , and the latter a young and interestinglooking girl , were placed at the bar , before Mr . Tyrwhitt , charged by Inspector Brennan , of the G division of police , with having been concerned in manufacturing counterfeit coin . —It appeared from the evidence of the inspector , that in consequence of information received by the police that parties were constantly employed in the extensive manufacture of base coin , at a house situate 69 , Goldenlane , St . Luke ' s , he , with other officers , made arrangements to pay a visit to the place , for tho purpose of making a capture . On their arrival , at about half-past four o ' clock on Friday afternoon ,
they proceeded to the first floor apartment , and on opening the door , they saw the male prisoner at work at a bench , in the manufacture of base coin . He had a file in his band , finishing off some shillings . On seeing tbem ( the officers ) , he dropped the file . The female prisoner sat quietly in the room , and merely said to the male prisoner , " If you had , not introduced that party this would not have happened . " They immediately secured the prisoners and took them to the station-bouse , after whicb they proceeded to search the place . On tho mantel-shelf they found forty-eight counterfeit shillings . In the cupboard three moulds , two of which were so made as to cast three and four shillings at a time . In a drawer
they discovered counterfeit half-crowns , and on a further and more general search upwards of 200 pieces of counterfeit coin were found , all of superior make and imitation . Also two galvanic batteries , with plates and jars containing strong solution , ladles for melting , Queen ' s metal spoons , plaster of Paris powder , and all the necessary implements usually applied to tho manufacturing of base coin , the whole of which they seized and conveyed to the station-house . The property was now produced in court . —Sergeant Cole and White , dsc , who accompanied
Inspector Brennan , gave confirmatory evidence . — The prisoners cohabited as man and wife ; the latter was much affected whilst at tbe box , and the male prisoner supported her , kissed her , and held his arms round her neck . Mr . Tyrwhitt remarked that ho never before witnessed the production of so large a quantity of counterfeit coin , & o . He highly complimented Inspector Brennan , for having con ' ducted the case in the manner he had done . He decided on eventually committing the prisoners to Newgate for trial , but they should be brought up again on a future day for the formal completion of the depositions .
GUILDHALL . — Brutal Assault . — Bernard Burns , an Irish labourer , residing at 6 , Bell-alley , Golden-lane , was charged with committing a violent and brutal assault on his wife , Bridget Burns . —Mary Carter : I live at 1 , Bell-alley . On Tuesday night I heard Mrs . Burns give a violent scream , and went into the house . In the room on tho ground floor I saw the prisoner standing up , and his wife lying senseless on the floor groaning ; She had a young child on her lap . I wanted to take her upstairs , but could not . She could not sneak , and I saw she was lying in a pool of blood when I tried to raise her up . I tried to reason with the prisoner for ill-using his wife , when he told me to mind my own business . I then went to a policeman , and told him tbere was a man brutally beating bis wife in Bell-alley , and be went to the housa . —Retben Wallace said , the last witness came to me and told me there was a man brutally beating bis wife . I went to the house and saw a woman
lying on the floor in a pool of blood . I spoke to her , but she was insensible . I sent a brothor officer for a surgeon . I asked the prisoner how it had happened , and he said she had fallen down stairs on an old chair at the bottom and hurt herself . I subsequently took the . man into custody . —Mr . Joseph Wood Mason , surgeon , residing in Redcross-street , said : I was called in to 6 , Bellalley . I found a woman lying on the ground insensible and in a pool of blood . There were from four to five pints of blood on the floor . I examined her and found at small wound on the lower part of her person . In my opinion the wound was produced by a kick . It was a lacerated and contused wound . When I first went in she was senseless
and pulseless . I gave her restoratives , and she was restored lo consciousness . I then asked , in the prisoner ' s presence , how sho came by that injury , and she said her husband had kicked her . The prisoner said she had fallen down stairs and hurt herself ou tbe corner of a chair . 1 examined the chair and there was no mark on it . There must bave been some signs on it had the statement been true , for blood would flow immediately from the wound . The woman is likel y to recover but her pulse is yet so low that it can scarcely be felt ; The prisoner said his wife was drunk , and going up stairs sho fell down , and hurt herself on the chair at the bottom . He then assisted her into the room and gave her every attention . At first
he scolded her for getting so drunk she could not go up stairs , but he did not touch her except to give assistance . The prisoner was remanded . The Accident in Grackchbrcb-ssrebt . — Mr . Bell and Mr . Corbett , tbe proprietors ofthe Gracechurch-street premises which fell on Saturday last , waited upon the Lord Mayor on Wednesday , on the subject of the disastrous occurrence . After thanking the Lord Mayor for his promptitude in institu * ting and beading a subscription for the sufferers in the late catastrophe , and stating that he and his partner were doing , and intended to do , all in their power to assuage the afflictions of the sufferers , and to secure the comfort of the families which had been deprived of tbeir natural support , Mr Bell
handed in a cheque for £ 25 in aid of the subscription . The Lord Mayor expressed his satisfaction at seeing gentlemen who had already suffered so much by tbe accident , active in caring for the helpless . — The following subscriptions were then announced : —Mrs . Jane Ogden , £ 5 ; A Family ' s Subscription , 5 s . ; James Thompson , Esq ., £ 1 ls . ; A Friend , 10 s . ; John Wagg , Esq ., £ 2 . Cbceltt to Animals . —Peter Fisher , an omnibus driver , was fined 20 s . for cruelty to his horses . Lock , a policeman , who witnessed his conduct , said , the omnibus broke down with a load of more than thirty passenger * , and that the defendant whipped bis animals incessantly for three or four minutes .
WORSHIP-STREET . —Alleged Robdert .-R , Hurst , a well-dressed , middle-aged man , described as a trimming manufacturer , in New Nichol-street , Bethnal-green , and Nathaniel Palmer , a journeyman weaver , were charged with having broken into the dwelling-honso of Mr .

Clerkenwell. —Attempt To Stab A Policeha...
geant Teakle stated that he apprehended Palmer on the preceding evening , and , upon acquainting him with the nature of the charge , he said thnt lie had been employed by Hurst to sell the fringe , and that was all he knew about . the matter . ' Witness afterwards proceeded to the house of Hurst , who , on learning the particulars of the charge , requested to speak to the prosecutor in private , which witness declined to permit ; and , on searching the place , he discovered in a cupboard in his bedroom , two cards
of fringe , which Mr . Smith also identified as his property . The prisoner Hurst accounted for the latter articles by stating that he hid received them from Palmer , and each of the prisoners , upon being Questioned respecting the bill of exchange , which they obtained from the witness Milligan , declared that the other had it in bis possession . —The prisoners made no observations in answer to the charge , and they were both ordered to be remanded for a week , but was admitted to bad , themselves in £ 100 and two sureties in £ 50 each .
¦ Vindictive Attack . —Robert Thompson , a young fellow whoso acquaintance was claimed by the police , was brought up before Mr . Arnold , charged with the following vindictive attack on Mrs . Frances Hiichens , a married woman living in the Old-street-road . —The Complainant stated , tlwt while passing down Bishopsgate-street at four o ' clock on Tuesday afternoon , her attention was attracted by the conduct of tbe prisoner and two other men who accompanied him , which was of such a suspicious description as to induce her to watch their actions for some distance . ' A few minutes afterwards she saw them walk up to a lady , whom they surrounded so as to isolate her from the other passengersand while his two confederates
, covered his proceedings the prisoner himself attempted to pick her pocket , into which he was just thrusting his band , when he happened to turn hia head in the direction the witness was coming , and seeing she was watching him , instantly desisted , gave an intimation to the others that they were thwarted , and the whole hurried away . At halfpast six in the evening she and her sister were walking through Pitfield-street , Hoxton , when a man ran after her , turned sharply round , and stared her insolently in the face , and on immediately recognizing tho prisoner as one of the men she had seen attempting to rob tbe lady , she tried to hasten away ; but before she ooutd do so the prisoner raised a thick stick he was carrying , and dealt her
such a severe blow down tho back with it as to raise the flesh in a weal . the whole length the stick had struck her . He then attempted to escape , but witness seized him by the collar of his coat , and though he shook her about , struggled strenuously to got out of her grasp , and tried to fix his teeth into her hand , she pertinaciously clung to him until a policeman could be procured , when she gave him into custody . —The latter part of the complainant ' s statement was confirmed by Bateman , a constable , who found her struggling with the prisoner in a breathless state , but still holding him with great determination . —When called upon for his defence the prisoner declared that there was not tho slightest foundation for the first part of the witness ' s
evidence as to his being in company of the other men and attempting to pick the lady ' s pocket , though there might be some ground for his striking her , as she alleged , with the stick , but ho had no recollection of so doing , as he had been drinking rather freely with some friends in the course of the day . —Mr . Arnold sentenced the prisoner to pay a penalty of £ i to the Queen , or in default to stand committed to the House of Correction for six weeks . —The prisoner could not pay the penalty , and was therefore removed in the van . The Robbery of a Blind Man . —Two determined-looking fellows named James Hurley and George Caton were placed at the Bar for re-examination , before Mr . Seeker , charged with a daring

Collins , a blind man , carrying on business as an ironmonger , in High-street , Shoreditoh . —The prisoners , who denied the charge , were ordered to be remanded for the completion of the depositions , but on being removed by the gaoler they turned fiercely round upon the female witness , and assailed her with a volley of imprecations for giving evidence against them . THAMES . —Strat Bank Notes . —Daniel Horn , 35 , a ropemaker , of 2 , Sun Tavern-fields , Ratcliffe , and Caroline , his wife , aged 37 , were brought up by Potter , 212 K , under the following circumstances : —It appeared that between three and four o'clock on Thursday week , Mr . Thomas Biddulph , whilst passing through Ropemaker ' s-fields , dropped
four £ 5 Bank of England notes from his pocket , and about the same time a woman named Stevenson , residing near the place , saw a person very like the female prisoner , and dressed in the same manner , pickup a small parcel , which she unfolded , and which appeared to witness to be bank notes . After looking at them very attentively tho woman ran away . Information was given to Potter , who subsequently discovered that the male prisoner had offered four £ 5 notes to a fellow ropemaker named Friercks , for the sum ot £ 15 , accounting for his possession of them by stating that his wife had picked them up . Friercks advised him to wait till a reward was offered , or to take them to the station house ; but the prisoner said there was no harm in
disposing of them . Friercks kept them a day to see if there was a reward , and then returned tbem to the prisoner . Potter went to the prisoner ' s house , and asked his wife whether she had not found four £ 5 notes , telling her a reward of £ 5 was offered for tbeir restoration , but she denied all knowledge of the matter . He then went up and saw her husband , who also denied knowing anything ofthe notes , on which he took them both to the station-house .- After lodging them there be returned to search their residence , and found £ 6 concealed up the chimney , on which he went back and mentioned the fact to the male prisoner , who said , " Well , there is no use ' in denying it . I sold the notes to a man named Brown for £ 11 , of which he gave me the six . "—John Brown said he met the prisoner on Friday week at the Duke of Kent . Horn mentioned the fact ofthe notes to him , offering to sell tbem , and witness purchased them next day for £ 12 . He had since passed the notes . —The case
was remanded to afford the constable an opportunity of trying to trace the notes . Heavv Penalty .-William Edwards , a labourer , of Smithfield-market , was fined £ 100 or six months ' imprisonment , for having in his possession five gallons of rum , under the following somewhat singular circumstances :-Barnes , a constable , met him in Church-lane , Whitechapel , on Tuesday , with the rum in two bladders , tied up in a handkerchief , under his arm , 'when he was taken into custody , and brought up on the charge of having it in his possession , knowing it to be stolen . Information was subsequently given to tbe Customs' authorities , who appeared against him * nd charged him with having smuggled the spirits . —In his defence the Prisoner said he carried it for a man who gave him a shilling to take it to Spitalfields , where he was to meet him . —Mr . Ingham , in passing the sentence , recommended him to memoralise the Board of Customs .
Robbbmks bv a WoBKMAN . —Wm . Rolfe , a journeyman painter , was placed at tbe bar charged with having committed two robberies of jewellery , die . It appeared from the evidence that tho prisoner had lately been working as » journeyman painter at Mr . Lucas ' s , No . 3 , and Miss Cottle ' s , No . 4 , Church-row , Hampstead , and tbat on Sunday last the first-named lady missed from a chiffonier in the drawing-room two gold rings and a spoon , and on the following evening Miss Cottle ascertained that she had been robbed of a gold ring and a silver guard . On Tuesday morning the prisoner ' s master , who had been informed of the losses alluded to , repaired to Mrs . Lucas ' s , and in order to find out if possible the guilty party , he marked five
halfcrowns and three shillings , which he placed iu a purse , and deposited it on it dressing-table in the bed-room . The prisoner came to his work as usual , and soon after he had quitted in the evening it was discovered that one ofthe marked half-crowns was gone . Prisoner was then given into custody , and at the station tbe identical coin , which he had concealed inside of his stocking , was met with . He also produced Miss Cottle ' s gold ring , which he took from under the lining of bis hat , and admitted having disposed of Mrs . Lucas ' s rings to a party in the Edgeware-road . In order to afford time for tbe officer to trace the articles still missing , the prisoner , who was tried in May , 1850 , for stealing a cash-box containing £ 20 , and sentenced to eight months' imprisonment , was remanded till next Wednesday .
SOUTHWARD — Hous « Breaking . — Two young men , named Humphreys and Hayes , were charged with breaking into the premises of Mr . Chittenden , of Walworth Cottage , Old Kent Road , and stealing several carpenter ' s tools , besides sixteen tame live pigeons . It appeared that the premises at the rear of the complainant ' s house had been entered by thieves on Friday night last , one of tbe wooden sashes baring been taken out to obtain admittance into the p lace . Besides several tools , sixteen pigeons of a particular breed were stolen , and no clue was discovered of tbe thieves until the Saturday following . On the morning of that day Noakes , an active
constable met the prisoners in the Kent Road , and suspecting from their previous habits that they were engaged in some unlawful act , stopped and took them into custody , and soon afterwards ascertained that they had sold several pairs of the complainant ' s pigeons at the shops of some bird fanciers at Deptf ' ord . The persons to whom the birds were sold produced them , and identified the prisoners as tbe men from whom they had purchased them . The policeman added that the prisoners had been frequently in custody on other charges , and were the associates of housebreakers and other persons of the worst character . Tho prisoners were committed .
A Clever Housebrbakbb . —W . Cox , 14 years of age , was charged with breaking into the house of Mr .

Clerkenwell. —Attempt To Stab A Policeha...
he observed that the glass fan light over the private entrance in Short-street was broken , and an aperture made sufficiently large to admit of a man ' s arm . Knowing up to twelve o ' clock the same nightthat the glass was perfect , he suspected that tbe house had been entered , and he knocked at the door and listened , and distinctly heard footsteps within , but received no answer , upon which he rang the house bell , and aroused the landlord . Thoy instituted an examination of the parlour , tanrnnm
bar , and other parts at tho lower part ofthe house , but failed in discovering any person , until at length they proceeded to the front of the bar , in a corner of which stood an empty puncheon , underneath which , the heading next the floor being out , the prisoner had concealed himself ; and when discovered he asserted he got into tho house before twelve o ' clock tho night before , and had hid himself in the puncheon where he was found . —Tho prisoner had only josfc come out of the House of Correction . He was remanded .
LAMBETH . —The Murder op a Policeman . — Patrick Cane , John Hickey , James M'Elligatt , Dennis Harrington , William Fancy , William Burke , Edward Sbanahan , Thomas Lynn , Thomas Burke , and Edmund Slattery , who stood charged with the murder of Henvy James Chaplin , a constable belonging CO tho L divisin , were again brought up for examination . Thero being no new evidence , and that already received being held to affect but Cane , Hickoy , M'Elligatt , and Harrington , those prisoners were remanded , while the remainder were discharged .
MARYLEBONE . — Distressing Case . — Mr . Broughton mentioned that he had received a letter from the Rev . Mr . Hansard , Upper Porchesterstreet , Paddington , in which it was set forth that a poor man named Wilder was recently knocked down by tho horse of a gentleman ' s groom , and in consequence thereof his cellar bone was broken , iu addition to which he had sustained other injuries which had ever since incapacitated him from doing any work . The groom and his master rode off immediately after tho occurrence , and it was not
known where either of them was to be found . —The object of the rev . gentleman , who had out of the sacramental money at his disposal afforded pecuniary relief to the sufferer , was that of giving publicity to the distressing affair through the ordinary channels , in which case the gentleman whose servant had done tho mischief , although perhaps quite accidentally , might feel it not only a duty , but a p leasure to come forward with an open purse and kind heart , for the alleviation of distress arising out of the circumstances above referred to .
Charles Watkins , pawnbroker , of High-street , near this Court , was fined £ 10 for having charged lOd . interest on a watch pledged for £ 210 s . and redeemed on the same day , and for having charged the duplicate ticket .

The prisoner was remanded .
National Standard Theatre. • On Thursday...
NATIONAL STANDARD THEATRE . On Thursday evening Mr . Able , one of the Political Victims of 1848 , had a ticket benefit at this house . We are sorry to say that the attendance was not so numerous as it ought to have been . The entertainment commenced with a drama in tbret acts , entitled The Extorted Oath , which gave great scope to the energy and pathos of Mr . Lyon , who , as Count de Salviator , was much applauded . The Snow Witch was the second piece , and seems likely U have a long run . The wonderous feats of Signer Huntini and his infant son , more especially their performance on stilts , must be seen to be believed , they are performed before the Glass Curtain , which
still continues to draw largely upon tbe attention of the play-going public . The entertainment concluded with Webtfs excellent drama of The Secretary . Mr . Lyon is completely at home in the welldrawn character of Matthew Hard , a Hampshire poacher . The piece abounds with denunciations of the injustice of the game laws , and the evils endured by legal tyranny , which were mucb appreciated by at least a portion of the audience . We must speak highly of the acting of Mr . Gaston , as Felix Varley ; of Mrs . Honnor , as Jane Donnington ; and Mrs . Cowle , as Lady Aubrey . Tho piece is well adapted to the company of this house , and were all played their parts well , it is almost injudicious to particularise . Miss Terry , as usual , charmed the audience by her singing and acting .

The act authorises and requires parish officers to prosecute in certain cases where injury has been inflicted on a poor person under sixteen years of ago .

friendly shores of Britain . Moved by David Lightowler , seconded by Abraham Robinson , of Welsden — " That , not in words only do we manifest our feelings of sympathy and brotherly love ; but this meeting most solemnly pledges itself , individually and collectively , to sustain and support those pilgrims of freedom , and not let them perish for lack of means , until they ( which is all that is sought for ) oan honourably maintain themselves . " Moved by Mr . William Price , seconded by Mr . Edward Smith — " That in order to carry out the foregoing resolutions energetically and as extensively as possible , every individual who subscribes any sum weekly towards the relief fund , shall be considered as a member of the committee , and that persons
contributing may thus bave a voice in its disbursement , which cannot fail to inspire confidence , and give general satisfaction .
