Reports Of Relief Meetings, Resolut I On...
Reports of relief meetings , resolut i ons , and speeches -continue to pour in from all corners of the kingdom . The newspapers , are literally swamped with the allengrossing topic of general distress and the best means for its alleviation . There was a numerous meeting of the magistrates of the county of Limerick , on Saturday last , when a committee was appointed -to prepare resolutions . Subsequently Lord Mont-€ agle stated that they had unanimously adopted a series of resolutions . They were to the effect that "the meeting was deeply impressed with the absolute necessity of providing employment for the poor of the country , and that they were of opinion that the -act already in force was inadequate to that object ; -they therefore were of opinion that it was desirable "that her Majesty should immediately convene parliament for the ' purpose of passins such measures ^ should be best adapted to the relief of the papulation .
Similar meetings have been also held in Sligoand Tipperary , ( South Riding . ) At the latter all the leading proprietors of the district were present .
¦ DEPUTATION TO XOBD JOHS BU 9 SELL . The Corh Reporter publishes a lengthened account -of an interview between a deputation from the county of Cork and Lord John Russell : — The deputation consisted of Mr . E . D . Freeman , High-^ Sherifrof the County of Cork ; Sir James Anderson , Bart . ; the Very Kev . D . M . Collins , parish priest of Mallow ; the Rev . H , Somerville , rector of Boneraile ; and the "Rev . C . B . Gibson , Secretary to the Mallow Relief Com . ¦ mittee . The deputation was received by his Lordship and the Chancellor of the Exchequer , at Chesham-place , on
Tuesday , the 15 th inst . The interview lasted for an hour and a , half , His Lordship and the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave patient hearing to each member of the deputation , and appeared not only disposed and anxious to ' near their statements respecting the condition of the -Ooonty , but also to receive any hints they were prepared to offer respecting future and more permanent legislation . In the course of the conversation , the Rev . Mr . 'Gibsox directed the attention of the Chancellor of ± he Exchequer to the rule of the Lords of the Treasury , requiring that the wages in connexion with relief works shall be 2 d . a day under the general wages -of the district .
The Chancellor of the Exchequer defended the rule on the principles of political economy , and referred to cases where harvest work bad been inter--fered with it , and also to the case of men leaving -work on the Shannon , where they were receiving . Is . 6 d . a-day , for lOd . a-day relief work . The Rev . Mr . Gibson denied the truth of such statements , and said that farmers and landlords were combining to keep down wages ; that this was one -reason for the opposition to public works experienced at presentment sessions ; that the government did
sot approve of combination in the labouring men -and mechanics to raise wages , and that it should npt -therefore set the example , by combining with Irhh landlords and men of property , to keep down the rages of the people ; that he could not look upon -. le rule of the Treasury respecting wages as anyt ing short of combination to depress them ; that ii . 3 great evil of the country was the low rate of wages , and that the social condition of the country could never be improved till wages were improved . . Mr . Gibson proposed that wages should in no case be -under 10 d . a-day .
The Chancellor of the Exchequee stated that lOd . was a , high rate of wages generally in Ireland . Mr . Gibson replied , that if it were the opinion of English gentlemen that lOd . was a sufficient daily remuneration for an Irish labourer , God help the people . The Chascelloh—God forbid we should think so . I merely mention lOd as a high rate of wages in the country . I think the wages should be improved , and the minutes of the Lords of the Treasury requiring that the wages should be 2 i . under the standard of the country is not law , and , if necessary , it may be modified .
Tne weekly meeting at Conciliation Hall , on Tuesday , was very thinly attended . Mr . J . O'Connell read a letter from his father , commenting on the present distress , and the various plans proposed for its relief . The letter suggested the appointment of deputations at each presentment meeting to assemble in Dublin , in order to organize the best plans for obtaining Government and local relief , during the impending calamities of famine and pestilence , and to embody , in practical form , their suggestions to Parliament for laws suited to the emergency . Mr . O'Connell conceives that " the first duty of such a meeting would be to address the ministry , and , if necessar y , the Crown itself , to call together , -without delay , the Parliament , and , he thinks , that such a demand , coming from such a body , would be irresistible .
Mr . Dillon Browne , M . P ., declared his adhesion to the " moral force policy . " ^ Mr . Latohxax , town councilman , in handing in some money , expressed a hope that ere long he would see a reconciliation between the "Old and Teung Ireland party . " Mr . O'CosxELLsaid that they would be most happy to effect a reconciliation , but , as he had often stated before , it lay with the Young Ireland party to make the move , as they bad swerved from the rules of the association , and could only be again connected with it by a determination to agitate by moral means alone . ( Cheers . ) They had erred , and they were the parties to repent of their error . The rent was £ 61 16 s . 4 d .
State of the Country . —The accounts from the provinces are very disheartning . The peasantry are starving in thousands in severals districts in the south and west , and although the gentry are doing all , and perhaps more than their means admit of , a considerable period must elapse before the destitute can be furnished with employment . The following are from the Borrisokaae correspondent Jf the Evening Packet ;— "The combination , now so general amongst the occupiers of the land not to pay rent , is most alarming . There were half a dozen or more seizures for rent in this neighbourhood , and all were defeated on the days fixed for sale , by large bodies of men , summoned from distant parts of the country , to atop the sale . " The Waterford correspondent of the same journal says : — " On Saturday morning last several cars , laden with corn , were stopped on their way to Waterford and Dnngarvan , and obliged to return home . " The Tullamore correspondent adds : — l
It is but a few days since I informed you of the uprise -Of the working classes in the Killoughby and Tarsonstown districts of this county , for whom nothing has yet Tieen done . I have now to inform you of another uprise in the JJallycumber district , where large bodies of wretcheddooldng beings assembled on the 18 th , being petty sessions day , to make their heart-rending situations known , in the hope that some immediate steps "would be taken to relieve them and their families from Starvation . The magistrates and gentlemen assembled
assured them of their wishes to do everything in their power to alleviate their distress , and for that purpose had already made their wants known to the lord-Lieutenant , hy petition through the Earl of Kosse , Lieutenant -of the county ; and that they every day expected a favourable reply . Whereon they all dispersed quietly , but in a downcast ; melancholy , gloomy manner ; many of theni declaring that they had nothing to keep them alive but * be diseased potatoes chopped up with cabbage , with salt and pepper to kill the bad smeU , and give them a counter -flavour .
Mr- Sinin O'Buies— It Is reported that the Lord Uiancellor ' s Secretary has written , by direction of lis Lordship , to Mr . Smith O'Brien , offering to restore him to the commission of the peace for the county of Limerick , and that the Hon . Gentleman -Jias declined the compliment .

FIEE AT THE CBOYDON RAILWAY TER . MIXUS . About three , o ' clock on Wednesda y morning , a fire , attended with a serious destruction of property , broke out at the Croydon terminus of the London and * Croydon Hallway . It appears that the fire broke ont in the lamp xoem of the terminus , and the flames soon broke through the roof of the carriage depot , a spacious building , upwards of onenuudred feetlong . and which was filled with carriages of the first and second classes . B y the time the engines arrived the whole of the old locomotive depot
was enveloped in flame , and upwards of a dozen first and second class carriages wereblazmg away with the most * igutfuirapidity , and when the flames shot through the j-oof -they completely illuminated , not only the immediate district , but the principal portion of the metropolis . Jor some time the greatest difficulty was experienced in obtaining a supply of water ; meanwhile the Amies progressed with such rapidity that before four 8 ' clOCk both the Stations ( the present atmospheric , and the old locomotive ) presented an immense body of flame which roared as it issued from the several windows , like a number of furnaces in full operation .
By leading the hose of the engines through the windows , the military and firemen were enabl to pour a limited stream of water upon the destructive element , bat it had obtained too finn ahold to be easily extinguished , and carriage after carriage fell a prey to the fury of the fire ; it was not until the whole of the combustible articles in the two buildings were burnt , that the conflagration was cut off , just as it was attacking the ticket station and booking offices .
Fiee At The Cboydon Railway Ter. Mixus. ...
By eight o ' clock the fire was so far subdued as to allay all further apprehension of its extension . By that period the old locomotive dspot was burnt down , and an immense number of first and second class carriages de . stroyed ; the atmospheric carriage shedding was likewise consumed ; the electric telegraph was also displaced , and a large number of the sleepers on the line were burnt , and the metal tramways were forced into various slopes , so as to prevent the regular transit of trains . There has been no stoppage to thetraflic on the line , and a great number of workmen a » e busily employed in repairing the damage which has been done . e * .
Treatment Of The Poor In St. Pancras. Th...
TREATMENT OF THE POOR IN ST . PANCRAS . The suicide of a young . woman , aged 19 , named Mary Ann Jones , late an inmate in St . Pancras workhouse , and on whom the Jury returned the following verdict;—Thatthedeceased Mary Ann Jonesdrowned herself rather than return to the workhouse , being driven to distraction through dread of the treatment she would be subjected to in the " shed , " ^ and the jury cannot separate without expressing their opinion that the discipline there is unnecessarily severeresulted in a lengthened inquiry into the treatment of the poor generally in that parish . A committee of the Board of Directors was appointed to investioate and report en the whole subject , with special
reference to the verdict at the Coroner ' s inquest , and several meetings were held , at which the parish officers and inmates of the workhouse were examined . The last of these meetings was held on Wednesday , when by way of refuting the charges made against the provisions given the poor , specimens of the rations served to the inmateswere placed on the table . The rations consisted of porridge , meat , bread , potatoes , beer , soup , and cheese . All the witnesses werercquired to taste theporndge , broth , and beer , and their attention was called to the quantity and quality of the other articles of food , — meat , bread , potatoes , and cheese .
The evidenc went to show , that these rations were of a superior kind to that habitually served . The examination of one witness may be given as a specimen of the depositions of the whole . John Witt , examined : 1 have been about 4 years in the house . I have had bad health from time to time since I have been an inmate . This is quite different porridge to what wo have ; ours is not so thick as this by half . The bread we get is the same as this . We don ' t get half , this quantity of potatoes , and they are not half so good as these . Our meat is more like Sharp's-alley meat than this . ( A laugh . ) The broth they give us is nothing like this . By Mr . Clark : I have reason to complain of the whole of the food we have . Will you permit me to say one word—A Director ( interrupting ) : No ; you don't come here to preach .
Wit : I came here to tell the truth , and nothing but the truth , and that I will tell . By Mr . Marley : I work now in the carpenters ' sheds . I get 4 d a day and a pint of strong beer beyond the ordinary rations . Mr . Clark : Have you any reason to complain of the quantity or quality of the food ?—Why you give us nothing but what I call a galloping starvation . ( Laughter . ) Upon which Mr . Howarth , one of the Directors who had previously stated that he had visited the house , and had examined the food , with the quality of which he was perfectly satisfied , and further that he had tasted the soup , and was so well pleased with it that he obtained an allowance , observed as the witness was leaving the room , "That man evidently wants an allowance out of the house instead of in it . "
The Report of the Committee was presented and adopted by the meeting . It serves to show through what very different mediums paupers and directors view the very same subject ; referring to the verdict on Jones , the report states- — " That there is no place in the workhouse , in which the paupers are employed and lodged , which can be designated a shed ; that there are two rooms in the basement story of the main building appropriated to the use and separate location of the female refractory paupers , and building consisting of a ground Hour working room with a sleeping room over for the male refractory paupers ; that the rooms appropriated to the female paupers , although not lofty , are spacious , and , with the exception of the damp appearance of a small portion of the wall of the sleeping room , more comfortable than the ordinary dwellings of the labouring poor .
" That it is essential to the preservation of decency , order , and good conduct amongst the paupers generally , that the idle , depraved , and refractory should be kept separate from the aged and well conducted , and that those who , but fortheir dishonest and vicious propensities , might maintain themselves , should not be kept in a state of idleness or supplied with a greater quantity of food than experience shows to be fully sufficient for the preservation of their health and strength ; that the refractory paupers in St Pancras workhouse have the same allowance as the other able-bodied poor , with the exception of meat three times a week , and one ounce ofsugarandone ounce of butter in the case of the females , —that the dietary of this workhouse is equal to that of any similar establishment in the kingdom , and superior to the generality of suck dietaries , a copy of which is annexed to this report ; that the distinction in the dietary of the refractory paupers , and the state of
separation from the other inmates in which they are kept , affords no ground for censuring the system of workhouse management established in his parish . " After recommending classification , by which the young would be separated from the older and more vicious refractory paupers , and indirectly censuring Mr . Cooper , the parish surgeon , for having given an unfavourable opinion . The Committee conclude their self laudatory report by saying , that they are fully satisfied that the dietary of the house is sufficient both in quantity and quality , and that with the addition of a portion of peas to the broth , and two pints of milk , instead of one to each gallon of theoatmeal porridge , it will U rendered as nutritnic and palatable as can possibly be desired , and that no blame attaches to the authorities of the parish in consequence of the death of Alary Ann Jones , provided she did in fact commit suicide for the reason stated by her previous to her death .

TTOflSHIP STBEET . An Isfamocs Scouhdkei . —On 'Wednesday , Edward Spiller , a middle aged man , of respectable appearance , described as lately a publican , was brought up on a warrant before Mr . Broughton , charged with violentlyassaulting his wife , Caroline Spiller , and also conspiring with another man , now in custody , named Thomas Byrne , to effect a capital offence upon her person . The substanc of the charge against the last-named prisoner was published about a week since , and it is only necessary now to state that the wife , a well-dressed modest-looking woman , of SO , deposed , that in consequence of her husband not returning home about a fortnight since , she went to seek him at the house of one of his relatives , where she found him in the company of two prostitutes . This naturally led to reproaches and
unhappiness on her part , and threats of personal chastisement from him . At one o ' clock in tbe morning of Tuesday se'night her husband returned home , and expressing his iuttntion to punish her , struck her a violent blow on the mouth , and another in the side , and then forced her into the street , where she fell senseless , and was picked up by a policeman , who conveyed htr to a surgeon ' s . Being advised by her brother to seek the protection of a magistrate for herself and three children , she did so , and awaited the arrival at home of her husband , until ten at nighV when he returned in a state of in . toxication , and told her he nnderstoed she had got a warrant out against him , and would do something that she should get a warrant for , at the same time seizing a knife off the table and threatening to stab her to the heart . The prisoner , however , shortly after went out without carrying his threats into execution , and she being afraid to go to bed , laid down with part of her clothes on and fell asleep . About 4 o ' clock in the mornin ? . however , she was awoke by the other
prisoner , Byrne , who was lying beside her , with his dress unfastened , and pursuing such indelicate conduct as could only indicate an intention to perpetrate the offence alleged against him . She instantly called out for the protection of her husband , tvlio -was lying at the foot of the bed , p retending to be asleep , but tbe latter , instead of displajing any anger at the other prisoner's infamous conduct , merely advised him to escape , and afterwards , when the wife , who was overcome by her feelings , insisted upon Byrne being taken into custody , denied all knowledge of him , or that he had let him into thehouse , and positively refused to press the charge . It WAS sWOt tt that only the Spillers lived in the house , that the streetdoor was fastened before the husband came home , and was also found to be fastened after the prisoner Byrne had been admitted , and though Byrne at first persisted in the trath of Spiller ' s assertion , he afterwards , on finding the depositions would be taken against him , voluntarily acknowledged to the second clerk that he really had been admitted by the husband himself .
Notwithstanding this convincing testimony , partly corroborated , by the policeman , and a strong caution from the magistrate not to allow herself to be tampered with during the interval between the two examinations , the wife now , on her husband and Byrne being broug ht up for final examination , in an agitated manner expressed her conviction of her husband ' s innocence , admitted that he had promised to be a better husband to her than ever , besought the magistrate to reflect that he was the father of her children , forgave him the violent assault he had committed upou herself , and finally expressed a positive a ua energetic determination not to appear against him , at the same time wav « ring and altering her former testimony as to render it almost valueless if she did so . Mr . Heritage having forcibly addressed the magistrate on behalf of his client , Spiller ,
Mr . Broughton- at once ordered Byrne to be fully committed for trial on the charge of a criminal assault , with intent , & c , upon Mrs . SpUler ; but said that with regard to the charge of conspiracy against the husband
Ttoflship Stbeet. An Isfamocs Scouhdkei....
it would be utterly useless to send him for rial with Byrue , as it was impossible to insure a conviction from anviurvUDOnttie evidence the woman now gave . It S qKbvious , and he entertained «* ¦ * - *«« doubt of tho fact , that Byrnehad been admitted into the house for the worst of purposes , and he could perceive but very little difference between this case and another recorded in the State Trials , in which Lord Audley was charged with aiding another person in the commission of a rape upon the person of his lady , and upon conviction of it was sentenced to execution . He regretted the course he was compelled to pursue exceedingly—that of refraining from sending the husband for trial also ; but there was no other open to him , and ho could only therefore , to insure the wife ' s future protection , order the husband to put in good and substantial bail to be answerable for bis peaceable behaviour for the next six months .
[ Well might Byron say " man to man eft unjust , is always so to woman . " Such occurrences as that related above , prove that in spite of our boasted [ civilization , the condition of woman is , as to rights , very little removed from the period when the terms " Baron et femme , " expressed faithfully the relations of the sexes . Until an immense change takes place in the social position of women generally , they will always be at the mercy of such brutes as this Spiller . Law is powerless in their case . Institutions which will free them from helpless dependence for the mere necessaries of life , and consequent virtual slavery to all the brutality and caprices of their "lords aud masters , " are the only cure for this crying evil . ]
SOimiWARK . Important to Raiiwat Tbaveilebs . —On Saturday , Mr . T . Robson , a merchant , was charged with refusing to deliver up his ticket at tbe South-Eastern terminus ; also with assaulting Charles Brown , one of the railway servants . Brown stated that on the arrival of the mail train from Dover , at four o'clock that morning , he was employed in collecting tickets . On opening one of the first class carriages he saw the defendant , and asked for his ticket . He exhibited a second-class ticket , but would not give it up , although he paid 2 s ., the difference of the fare . He told the defendant that the ticket must be given up , and showed him a copy of the regulations . On attempting to take him into custody , the defendant committed the assault complained of . The defendant contended that he had been grossly ill-used by the railway authority , who knew him perfectly well as a person frequently
travelling on the line .. On the pressntToccasion be took a return ticket for Tunbridge Wells , and on the arrival of the train at the latter place , his ticket was taken from him by one of the company ' s servants , who went away and did not return to him . He made his complaint at the station , but they refused to convey him unless he paid his fare . The station clerk at the same time told lrim not to give up the ticket at the London-bridge terminus , unless ha had a receipt , which could be shown to the secretary , who would order the money to be restored . He thought the company ' s servants to blame in not returning him his ticket after presenting it in the usual manner . It was admitted that the defendant had made a similar statement at the terminus , and the magistrate said the Company's servants were not justified in the cause they had pursued . " He dismissed the charge . The defendaant expressedyiis intention of entering an action for false imprisonment against the above company .
WESTMINSTER . A RufiiAn . —On Tuesday , John Lynn , a determined looking powerful fellow , was charged with a series of ruffianly assaults . It appears that defendant , who is up . waidsof twentyyears of age , is a worthless idle fellow , who , instead of supporting himself by ills own industry , insists upon his aged parents ' who are poor hard working people , maintaining him , and in return ill treats them . He returned home at about two on Monday afternoon , and when his mother told him that he ought to endeavour to procure some employment , as they could ill afford , out of their slender means , to support him , he abused her iu the vilest manner , threw a table down upon his sister ' s foot , and declared he would demolish every article of furniture in the place . His mother interfered topreventhim carrying his threat into execution , when he struck her about the arms , and seized her by the throat , and when
his father came from his bed to see what was the matter , the defendant assailed him with a torrent of abuse of the most disgraceful character . The mother's screams attracted the attention of the neighbours , and one of them Mrs . Moore , who bad an infant in her arms , having said to defendant as he passed her door , " Oh , John , how ean you use your poor mother so V the fellow struck her a desperate blow on the left eye , and upon her husband inquiring why he did it , the defendant rushed towards him and gave him a severe black eye , and then , entering his house , endeavoured to break open his room door in order to further ill-treat him . The police , however , fortunately made their appearance at the moment , and defendant , after scrambling over the roofs of several houses in a vain endeavour to escape was secured . At the stationhouse he swore he would serve them ( those who complained of his ruffianism } out , if he suffered six months for it .
Defendant , in a sullen tone , said lie was sorry , and that he should not hare struck Mrs . Moore , but she abused him . Mr . Bond said his conduct was liko that of a wild animal , and he fined hiin-10 s . or twenty-one days , for the assault on his mother ; 30 s . or twenty-one , for the assault on Mrs . Moore , and a similar penalty for the assault on her husband . Defendant was , in default of payment , committed to prison for nine weeks .
MANSION HOUSE , Forgery of Stock is tub Bank op England . —On Saturday , Joseph Jones was charged with having forged a transfer of a stock , which was deposited in the names of George Edwards and his wife . Forrester received the warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner at a quarter past five o ' clock , traced him to Greenwich immediately , and placed him at the bar at a quarter before seven o ' clock . Mr . Henry FreshSeld , of the firm of Freshfield and Co . , solicitors to the Bank of England , stated that the sum of £ 3 10 s . per annum , standing in the Long Annuities in the names of George Edwards and his wife .
had been taken out by the prisoner , who represented George Edwards , with whose wife he lived , and for that purpose forged the name of Mr . Edwards . ' Evidence to substantiate these statements having been adduced . Alderman Gibbs asked whether the prisoner wished to account , or the " transfer made in the books ? " The prisoner— " No . it will be all found right . " Alderman Gibbs—And I shall remand you till Friday . The prisoner— " That ' s a long time , It will be all right , I know , when it ' s all heard . Will you take bail for my appearance ? " Alderman Gibbs—No . The prisoner— "It will be all right . " The prisoner was then remanded .
GUILDHALL . Seduction by a SraoEou . —On Saturday , Mr , Alderman Hunter and Sir . Alderman Musgrove were for some time engaged in investigating a case of affiliation , the parties being a young woman named Shepherd , and Mr , Daeent , of 4 , Pall-mall , one of the surgeons of the Ophthalmic Hospital . The defendant was not in attendance , though a summons had been left at his house . Mr . Cope stated the complainant's case . About two years since she was afflicted with a diseased eye , which made it necessary that she should apply to the Ophthalmic Hospital . She was placed under defendant ' s care , and he suggested that she should attend at hi * house . She consented , and he then succeeded in seducing his unfortunate patient , who subsequently gave birth to a child . The complainant , who had left Mr . Dacent ' s house
applied to him for some assistance , and , after flic had parted with everything , he gave her iI 2 fi , and agreed to settle on her £ 20 per annum . He did not fulfil his promise , and on his ( Mr . Cope ' s ) application , defendant said he could come to no arrangement unless he saw Miss Shepherd who called on him , when his conduct was in every degree disgraceful . Miss Shepherd was then examined , and her evidence corroborated the statement of Mr . Cope . Since her connection « ith Mr . Daeent he had married a lady of fortune . Mr . Alderman Hunter said , that as Mr . Daeent had not attended , they must make out an order for 2 s , Cd . per week on the defendant . Miss Shepherd here said , that when she called on Mr . Daeent relative to the settlement , he wished to continue the intimacy , and because she refused , he declined to fulfil his engagement- The parties then retired .
MARYLEBONE . William Hatherston was charged with having robbed Miss Harriett Lillewhite of a purse containing a £ i > Bank of England note and 13 s . in silver . On Saturday evening , at a quarter before nine o ' clock , there was a great bustle on the platform on the arrival of an express New . castle train , and while the p .-issengers were in a hurry to look for their luggage , the prisoner was observed to be " sounding" the pockets of several ladies , one of whom was the prosecutrix ; on observing that he was watched by a policeman belonging to the company , lie moved gently away , and endeavoured to make off , by going under the pole of an omnibus , but he was stopped on the instant , and given into custody . The prisoner , who refused to give his address , on account , as his solicitor said , of the respectability of hia connexions , was sent to Newgate f . tr trial .
A COUNTBVMAN ' S AnVENluM IN London . —On Monday , Mr . Henry Briery , a respectably dressed man , was charged before Mr . Long , by a constable of the S division , who stated that , on the same morning , at an early hour , he found the prisoner lying drunk in Seymourstrcet , near the terminus of the North-Western Railway . He was conveyed to the station house , and he there complained of having sustained a serious loss , viz ., that of hisjgreatcoat , in one of the pockets of which were notes to the amount of £ 33 . The prisoner , in answer to the charge , said , that after leaving the Railway station , he got into a cab , which came in collision with another vehicle , and he was Jhrown out ; he was for some time insensible , but he denied that he was the wr , rse lor liquor .

Inspector Souire , C division , said , when he apprehended the prisoner , he said , had he been a daytaler he would not have been able to take him . Tho prisoner was committed . Robbery or Yaicablk Books . —On Tuesday John Hudson and John Attwell were charged with having stolen some valuable books and prints , the property of the tr ustees of Messrs . Evans and Co ., booksellers , Old Bond-street . A gentleman , who said lie was one of Messrs , Evans and Co . ' s trustees , stated that Hudson was employed as porter , and Attwell had formerly been in possession of tho property in Bond-street on behalf of the trustees . Having received information that some rare books and prints had been offered for sale to a bookseller in Soho-sqnare , he went by appointment to tbe shop , and on seeing the property immediately recognised it as having formed part of the stock of Messrs . Evans
and Co ; , from whose premises it must have been stolen . The prisoner Hudson , who left , 1116 property , called on Monday morning for an answer . The property was given back to him and he went away . As soon as he was in the street witness followed and [ accused him of having stolen the books and pictures . The prisoner at first hesitated , but afterwards acknowledged the charge , and said he had either been insti gated or assisted to commit the robbery by Attwell . The other was then taken into custody . The two books produced were black letlev copies of an Edward the Sixth ' s Prayer Book and Bible . They were worth in the trade about £ 25 . The prisoner Hudson said the books had been given to him by Attwell , to take to a bookseller and sell for a stated sum . Attwell denied all knowledge of the affair . Mr . Hardwick remanded the prisoners , with an instruction to the police to search their lodgings , to ascertain if any more stolen property was there .
. LAMBETH . Maddening Effects of Duihk . —Mr , Daniel Miller * a baker , residing in Crown-row , Walworth , was charged with violently assaulting and attempting to strangle his wife . Mrs , Miller /' after detailing the nature of the charge , said , that when her husband kept sober there could not be a more quiet or better conducted man , but when drunk ho was little better than a maniac , and she feared that some day or other he would carry out his threats , and her life be the sacrifice . The prisoner was ordered to find surety for hi * good bulnuiour for six months .
WORSHIP STREET . Desperate Suicidal Attempt . —Ellen Le Beau , a young woman of loose character and faded personal attractions , and a young man named James Wilson , were charged on Monday , under the following circumstances . Policeman Davit said that on Saturday evening he saw the male prisoner lying on tbe grass in Love-lane , Clapton , and the female prisoner standing over him , both in a state of intoxication . The female walked away on seeing witness , and the male prisoner said he was merely taking a rest , being fatigued . The witness then went to the end of his beat , and on his return found a number of persons standing about a gate , and the female prisoner lying on the ground with her aims stretched out , helpless and insensible . The male prisoner said that she was dead , and that she had hung herself to that gate , ahd he handed to the witness a handkerchief , whieh he said he had cut from her neck . The witness lifted herfrom the
ground in his arms , and she appeared so stiff and breathless that he thought she was really dead . In a short time , however , she revived , and as soon as she saw the male prisoner she began kicking at him . They weie both detained at the station hous <> . Her neck being strongly marked by the ligature the police surgeon was sent for , after which the prisoners were locked up in separate cells , About an hour afterwards a heavy fall was heard in the female ' s cell , and the witness found her lying ou her back on the floor , with a piece of bed ticking bound ti ghtly round her neck , tho ends of which she was holding with both hands . She appeared nearly dead and the surgeon was again sent for . The male prisoner had foolishl y been about with the female drinking , until he had spent his money with her , and , on his leaving her , she suspended herself on the gate , as described . The male prisoner was discharged , and the female remanded for a week , in order that her friends might be enquired after .

O this subject we direct the attention of om- readei to an important " Address" In our seventh nao- ^ trom the German Democrats in London to the G man people . This " Address , " was ae » t to tho Tit ? which has all along opposed the German l .-hj . jJ ' party , but that Inmost journal refused its i nsefv The " Address" tells too many truths for ?/ , < , j ir the very reason why it is inserted in the Ifortkrn c
lhe Austrian Government is dewianflhi ^ m . re '' laws against the German press , whieh the T /{ ' probably assent to . It is said that the * # / .. > adopted a resolution , according to which-the ' Com * niunist association is declared revolutionary , and every one adhering to it is to be prosecuted for higli treason ! The late Minister of the Prussian Finance oiiice has laid down his office , because he- declared h-mself incapab . ' e of defending the financial measures which , by the imperious command of the king , he was obliged to adopt during the t > nor of his office . The xMinister of War , General Boyer , is likewise ;< bout to lay down his office . This veteran , th ( -. u » h a man of character and energy , shrinks at the sight nf the new spirit rising m > t only in the ranks i-f the Prussian militia , but even anion- ; the ciSuers of the regular army , ltuvoluiioiiaiy tendencies , an « even connexions with the Communists have been
disrovered among the officers , especially of some gar ri .-Oiis of Kliem ' sh Prussia , Intelligence from
ITiLY represents the Pope as being engaged in concocting " ieheines of Educational Reform . It is also stated that the P <> ntificial Government has resolved to disband the Swiss troops in its service , and that a special agent had left for Switzerland to negotiate a treaty to that effect wit . ' j the Helvetic governments . There are indications from
EGYPT of progress in that quarter . Mchemet AH _ is introducing innovations in dress oi a senii-Enropeaa character . Ibrahim Pacha is directing tho cultivation of his farms . It is said that he passes the warmest eulogiums on Great Britain , lie has said that England is far advanced of the other Powers , and is making rapid strides onwards , whilst ihe latter are very slow in their progress . The clliet Itablji of the Jews died at Cairo recently . An intimation of this event having been t-iven to the Government , Ibrahim Pacha , with a degree of toleration and freedom from bigotry which , considering that his Highness is a Mussulman , is deserving of great praise , sent a company of 100 soldiers and a military band to join the funeral procession and to do honour to the deiunct .
SPAIN , is by this time , in all probability , the scene of a Woody convulsion . It is lamentable to think that a whole ' nation should be given ^ over to the horrors of military havoc , through the miseieantism ef ruffianly Hings and beastly licentious queens . We announced last week the escap of Don Carlos , his son , and the Carlist General Cabrera , frim France . Tho two latter arrived in London some days ago , and if not by this time on their way to Spain , are no doubt maturing their plans to make another dash at the Spanish throne . The "Pretender" ( Carlos ' s son ) has published a proclamation , calling upon all Spaniards to rally round his standard , lie says , " Let there be an end of hatred , outrage , and all
evils . Institutions suitable to the times in which we live , the holy religion of our ancestors , the free course of justice , security for property , and a cordial t ' u-ion of parties , will guarantee to yon thehappinuss whieh you so ardently si ^ h fov . 1 will accomplish what 1 promise and offer to you , and at the moment of triumph nothing will be more agreeable to me than to find that there have been neither conquerors nor vanquished . —diaries Louis . " This is the usual humbug of princes fishing for partisans , but Spain has no faith in the despicable son of the despicable Carlos . Another " Pretender" is likely to appear in the person of Don Enrique , who has addressed to the Presidents of both Chambers of the Legislature a protest against the marriage of the Infnnta
Louisa with the Duke de Moxtpknsikr . lie has donu so as a member of t / ie Royal Family of Spain , and as such , interested in the question of the eventual succession Jo the Throne , decreed to his family by the constitution , in cases of the failure of direct issue "f rom the daughters of Ferdinand VII . lie protests against the mhts about to be acquired , at the expense of the family of the Infant , his father , by the house of Orleans , in consequence of the marriage of the Infanta Maria Louisa with the Duke of Montpeu .-ier . The protest is , it appear . * , founded on the fundamental laws of Phili p V ., by which the Princes of the House of Orleans , and their descendants , are excluded . from the throne of Spain ; as well as on the 47 th article of the constitution . The
deputies to the Cortes elected under the terrorism of that uutchev Navvaw , show themselves , with the exception ; of a few members , the willing slaves of the Afrancesados . Addresses to the Qucui against the marriage of _ her sister with the hated spawn of Louis Philippe have been sent from Madrid and nearly all the provinces . Every effort is made , however , to prevent these addresses being signed by the people . The police seize the petitions by force , many ot those sent from the country arc seized at the post-office , and persons sighing them are threatened with vengeance hy the Government agents . The Opposition press is seized regularly everyday ; in fact , the press exists only in defiance of the authorities , yet each journal continues
undauntedly to proclaim the most furious denunciations against Christina , Louis-Philippe , Montpensier , & c . Universal hatred of the French seems the order of the day in Spain , a most lamentable state of public feeling , but which has been caused by the infamous intrigues and bare-faced rascality of the precious ' King of the French " French residents arc insulted and the French couriers mobbed by the populace . The vilest epithets are applied to the French ambassador , who finds it unsafe to appear in the streets . This anti-French f . elins is rife in the arwy , The military at Madrid , Jniuiuilto , and Badujoz , have protested against the marriage of the Intauta . In an address from the military at Jaiamilla is this remarkable ^ passage . — " Your people feel a repugnance against anything that comes from France , a repugnance which , without going back into remote periods , is founded upon a
conviction that it was by this power that the throne of St . Ferdinand was trampled under foot , and that war and desolation have been spread throughout Spain . In fine , Madame , this aversion is supported by our still seeing the ruins of thousands of houses destroyed by conflagrations lighted by the hands of descendants of St . Louis , and by our having among us the sons of Spanish mothers who wer e violated by French soWievs . " Ths whole country is in a state of the greater excitement , and a wide sprrau insurrection is almost certain . One of the London daily papers announced as from authority that the ' . utu ( vesterdavV was fixed as the day for the commencement of a " general rising . If this report is correct , blood is now flawing once more in unhappy bpmn . Woe to the vile enemies ot nations who have caused Important news has been received from the UMTED STATES AM ) MEXICO .
The steamer Arab arrived off Vera Cruz on the 15 th August with Santa Anna on board , lie immediately placed himself at the head of the movement in that department . The departments of Pueba and Mexico have declared for Santa Anna , and Paretics has been taken prisoner . Tho revolt at the capital was headed by General Salas . Before Santa Anna Sett Uavantiah , ho W \ t letters Wi Gen . Camplwil to Com . Connor , and avowed himselt in reply tosome inquiries as to his intentions , as follows : — " If the people of my country are for war , then I am with them , but I would prefer poaee . " A letter dated at Viva Cruz , August 1 G . says that advices havo been received by express ot the i-onual annexation of California to the United Statos- ^ that is , the United States forces have ; alun possession ot California . This news came to the British Consulate at Vera Cruz . From
