On Tuesday , two stylishly dressed men , named John TIettecT and John Gilchrist , were charged on suspicion of huTios picked the pocket of Miss Mary Anne Moy , a youug lady redding at Gloucester , and having also been concerned in various other robberies . Sergeant Brannan , stated that in consequence of repeated complaints of robberies bavins been recently committed by wellflresscd men in the vicinity of the City-road turnpike , he was Erected to reconnoitre there , -nth another officer in plain clothes , on Saturday evening , and while so occupied they saw the prisoners dodging the steps of three ladivs who were walking in front of them . The prisoner Gilehs-L-t had the shirts of his coat expanded , go as to cover ' lis companions , who suddenly stooped forward behind two of tbe ladies , one of whom instantly turned

      her iiead , and the prisoners fell back and retreated aero s the road ; but witness hastened after them , and tool ; iheminto custody . Miss Moy then stated that on Saturday afternoon she was passing down tbe City-road , in the company of a friend , when they were annoyed by the obtrusive conduct of a man whom she believed to be the prisoner Gilchrist , whs stared rudely at them , and continued walking at their side for several yards . They proci-edrd quickly on and took refuge In a linen-draper's shop , on reaching whicb she discovered that her purse , cent-Suing gold and silver to the amount of £ 2 5 s . had been abstracted from her pocket . Mr . Broaghton said that it would be useless to commit the prisoners for trial , as no trace ofthe stolen property had been discovered , but he should convict them of beins suspected persons frequenting the public streets with intent to commitfelony , and commit them to tha House of Correciic-n for three months .

      JLVRYLEBOSB . CliAEGE OF CbOBLTI AGAINST A NATIONAL ScHOOt-KASTEB . —Mr . Waiiam Corbead , master of the National School , Hampstead , was charged with having pnnished in an excessive degree a little boy named , John Proctor . Tii-summons was granted a few days ago , aad at the time of the application for the same being made , the left thigh and lower part of the youth were in almost a raw state , arising evidently from a most severe ilasellation . The young complainant , who was accompanied by bis father and mother , deposed that on Friday last , in conseqevnee of Ms laughing at another boy , he was ordered by ivelly , a teacher in the first class , to go into the middle of the school . Hedid so , when defendant first beat him with the cane and thenflogged him with thebirch ; ho also struck him with bis fist and knocked hi < n down , and he

      was for some time senseless . Edward Cbiaents a pupil at tbe school . said , that defendantknickedProcter down witii his flst ^ and fell againsta cupboard . Witness added , " Master gave him the birch as well , and cut a piece of flesh « ut of his leg . " Mrs . Prootor stated , that when her child came borne from school , Ms stockings wbicb were whits when he left to go there , were saturated with blond , a great deal of wnichhad run down into his shoes . She took bun to a ^ argeon , who said that his head was much injured , and it would probably be some time before he got . veil . Defendant , in answer to the ihiree , denied bavin ; struck the boy with his fist . He desired him to hold up Ms hand to receive a stripe from the cane , which was the cammon mode of punishment for refractory

      pupils ; but be refused to do so , and , on being- laid hold of , be in a struggle fell down . He then kicked at him ( defendant ) , and wrested the cane from him , struck him several times , having done which he threw tbe cane as far as he conld up the schoal . He ( defendant ) certainly did "birch" him for his misconduct , but he did not consider that he had used any undue severity . He called two b ^ ys in support of the statement he had made , and tbey alleges , that the use of the birch was very seldom resorted to . The magistrateremarked thatas the evidence adduced was of a conflicting nature , he should not decide the matter himself , and ordered defendant to enter into his own recognisance to appear at the Sessions in the event of the hoy ' s father thiuldng fit toindict him .

      gOHTHWARK . Pomsbkest fob sot Robbwo . —John Boultwright , a tall , well-dressed young man , and John Smith , a diminu . rive boy , were charged with attempting to rob a lady in passing along the Waterloo Road . A policeman of the 1 division , stated , that be observed the prisoner *^^ another man in company together near the YiJBria Theatre , and knowing them to be bad characters , he watched them for sometime . At length he saw a lady walking along tbe road , and when she got near the stage entrance of the Victoria Theatre , the boy Smith went behind her and rubbed down her pockets , which attracted her attention , she turned round , and at this moment the other prisoni-r came up and pushed the lady against the wall . He was about to rob her , when she called out , and witness ran to her assistance , and seized th e younger prisoner , whose ' companion was secured by another policeman . The lady , however , was so alarmed by tha threats held oat by some of the prisoner ' s associates

      on the way to the station house , that she was prevented from appearing against ikem . Boultwright declared that the policeman bad told falsehoods ; tbat be was a xesptctacle inaii and not a thief . He did not know the latter prisoner . Thepolictrmaa said that both the prisoners associated with the swell mob , and were to be met with daily in the "flash houses " on the south side of the water . Four years ago tbe prisoner was in custody for a robbery , and tbat on a more recent occasion he was summarily convicted for felony . The prisoner said that he had reclaimed since , and had never put his hands into another persons pocketT Hr . Seeker had no doubt -the prisoners' intentions were to rob the lady , who was deterred from appearing owing to the threats of their associates . It was to be lamented that she exhibited such dread on the occasion . As , however , she had not been robbed , he should therefore dispense with her attendance on the present occasion , and commit Boultwright for three calendar months to Brixton , and the boy Smith , his accomplice , for one month to the same gaol .

      HAMMERSMITH . Exibaordixabt Afflication . —Two females of respectable appearance , presented themselves before the magistrate to crave his advice and assistance . One ofthe applicants said her name was Fenny , and that she was the wife of Mr . Roger Penny , who for the last twenty-five years bad the conveyance ofthe cross-country mail from Hungerford , ia Berkshire . She was Mr . Penny ' s second wife . Mr . Penny had had two children by his first wife , a boy and a girl , who wsre now grown np . The one had been con-Ticted as a felon , and the other was living under the protection of a gentleman belonging to the Admiralty , by which means she was also supporting her brother . The misconduct of her children had completely ruined her husband's health , who had

      become reduced boih in body and iu mind , so that she had the whole of the business to attend to . Some } ime since the daughter came down to Hungerford , about which time Mr . Penny had been recommended for the recovery of his health to get into some hospital in London , and the daughter had persuaded him to return to London with her , and she would get him into St . George ' s Hospital . Since his departure she had , however , ascertained that he was not an inmate of St . George ' s Hospital , but that his daughter had . for the purpose of secreting her father , in order to get possession of his property , been taking him about from place to place , he being almost in a dyin ? state . Thatday they had traced him to No . 18 , Elizabeth-street , but on going there they were refused seeing him , aud on their waiting about , they saw Mr . Penny removed in a cab by two men from the nous ? , and they distinctly saw that he had a

      severe bruise over the bridge oi his nose . They had , bv means of the cabman , ascertained that he had been taken to No . 3 , Hill-street , Kuightsbridge , whither they . had also been . On going there , they found that the daughter was leaving there , and they were refused admission , unless they produced some order authorising them to see Mr . Penny . That p lace being within the jurisdiction of that court , they then came there to state the case . —Mr . Paynter asked why they had not applied to the police fer assistance in the matter . The applicant said she was informed by a female that the sergeant on duty in the district of Knightebridge was ia the habit of going to her house and taking brandy and water with her dau » hter . Mr . Paynter desired Inspector Havill to send a man with the femalesto the B station at Pirnlico , in order that proper inquiry should be made into the matter and a report of the result made at that court .

      The Case Op Vf. S. Ellis. To The Editor ...

      THE CASE OP Vf . S . ELLIS . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Touwill doubtless remember that in the course of last month , a poor butrespectable man of this neighbourhood , named Nott , was through tbe almost unparrelled machination of an artful designing girl of 14 years of age , named Evan , unjustly sentenced to three months imprisonment and bard labour , but through the exertions of an active officer , Sergeant Harris , K , it was subsequently discovered that the poor man was perfectl y innocent , and the infamy of tbe girl made manifest . Tn consequence of tbe animadversions of the humane Editor of tbe Morning Advertiser , public sympathy has been canvassed , and the Home Secretary induced to liberate the

      man . Now in this no one rejoices more than myself , and it shows what can be effected by that most powerful engine , the public press when properly directed ; but when the innocence of others imprison 6 , and expatriated from all they held dear in this world , and still suffered to drag on in chains , and misery , I am grUved to think that no public spirited editor , ( with one exception ) has yet been found to call the attention of the authorities , or thepublic to these ever to be regretted occurrences . I will instance one whose guiltlessness is as apparent as the sun at noon day , viz ., W . S . Ellis , who was banished for 21 years ; it is a well known fact , tbat that noble , minded man was convicted by subborned and perjured testimony , this can be proved , yet with the single exception

      o' the Northern Star , every journal has been silent on this never-to-be-forgotten stretch of judicial power , middUclass jury injustice , and hired government evidence . Surely , Sir , means could be adopted to make the world acquainted with this ease . I believe Sir G . Grey is a humane man , and an honour to his class , let him know the particulars , and I doubt not tbe result . Kecolhct j . oor Ellis is in captivity , and his poor wife and childrsn reduced to the most diplorable state of destitution and misery , and all who have hearts cannot fail to sympathise with the misfortunes of this once happy family . Trusting you will make known to the public through the medium ofthe Star , the true position of William Ellis , and family . I am , your " s , < fcc „

      J . 5 HAW , 24 , Gloucester-street , Commercial-road , East . [ We have before now advised the course which we think should be pursued to obtain the restoration of Mr . Ellis . The witnesses of his innocence are in she Potteries ; his friends in the Potteries , therefore , should , 1 st , form themselves into a Committee ; 2 nd , Procure the written evidence of parties who can prove upon oath the innocence of Ellis ; 3 rd , Print this evidence , and endeavour to procure its publication in the Staffordshire and London Journals ; 4 , Memoralise the Queen through the Home Secretary , the memorial embodying the exculpatory evidence ; 5 th , Collect subscriptions in aid of the

      above labours , and also for the purpose of sending a delegation to London ; Lastly , ( other means failing , ) send a delegation to London , including the witnesses who are in a positionj to prove Ellis ' s innocence , to bring the case under the consideration of the Home Secretary , the delegation placing themselves under the direction of Mr . Duncombe , or some other member or members of Parliament , disposed to aid in the good work . When the friends of Mr . Ellis in the Potteries commence action , they may hope for assistance elsewhere ; but until they move , nothing effectual can be done for the exile ; although much ought to be dong for his family , and would be , if the London Victim Committee found proper support . — Ed .

      Mr. Wagstaff And The "Northern Star." To...

      MR . WAGSTAFF AND THE "NORTHERN STAR . " TO TBE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Dear Sir , —The leading article in your journal of Saturday last , having been read at the usual meeting of the Somers-town Locality , on Sunday evening , October 25 th , it was unanimously agreed that the said article be referred to the Local Election and Registration Committee for their consideration . We the said Committee , having met and duly considered the subject , hereby express our unanimous opinions thereon . Of the greater portion of the said article , the verdict of all must be that it is indemlsuperexcellent , but with the concluding part thereof , we consider tbat we hare just cause to complain . You state " that you was { greatly grieved and mortified , in finding that the men of St . Pancras should fall into tbe error

      of nominating a mere Whig on one of their local Committees . " That we ( the men of St , Pancras ) hare invariably been the unflinching and uncompromising advocates of , and zealous and indefatigable workers in , the cause of universal right as laid down in ] the People's Charter , we flatter ourselves that you will readily admit , and tbat we are now prepared with a firm determina tion to join in a renewed effort to make those principles predominant , we can affirm , but that wo have on the occasion to which you allude , fallen into error , or in any way acted so as to cause grief or mortification to the most fastidious disciplinarian , we emphatically deny . In order to prove this assertion ( assertions without proof we deprecate ) we will briefly state the reason why the

      gentleman you are pleased to designate a mere Whig , was placed on this Committee . The persons constituting the said Committee ( with the exception of Mr . Wagstaff ) were nominated by the Somers Town Locality , and their names appended to the resolution which was placed in Mr . Stallwood's hands to move at the public meeting . Mr . Stallwood having obtained Mr . Wagstuff ' s consent , prefixed bis name to the others and put them to the meeting , therefore if any error was committed , Mr . Stallwood was the originator thereof , and not the men of St . Pancras , we however consider that Mr . Stallwood was perfectly justified ( being apublic meeting ) in pursu . ing tbe course that he did , and we likewise think that he was thereby rendering service to the cause .

      Most probably , Sir , you are better acquainted with tho political character of Mr , Wagstaff than ] we are , as you positively assert that he " is a inert ! Whig , " that he " is no Chartist , " and that he " is not for us , " ergo , that he is against us . You would much oblige by proving these assertions , as we repudiate the idea of acting in collusion with Whiggery . We think it our duty now to state , as concisely as pos-Bible , what we know of Mr . Wagstaff , considering that justice to ourselves and to Mr . Wagstaff demands it . Mr . Wagstaff is a man of unblemished and irreproachable

      character . In his official capacity , both as churchwarden and as a director of the poor , he is held in the highest estimation . We have heard those that have acted with him on the parochial committee , say that they believed there was not a better man in existence . We beard him at a public meeting ( when a question was put to him as chairman , on the anomaly of allowing a compound householder to vote for a member of Parliament and disallowing that ri ght for parochial officers ) say that he hoped to sea the day when all such anomalies would be abolished , and that every imn would have tho right

      Mr. Wagstaff And The "Northern Star." To...

      of voting , only for local officers , but for those who made the laws they were bouud to obey . Is this Whipgery ! When the deputation waited on the vestry with the requisition soliciting the use of the rooma to adopt the National Petition , Mr .

      Haymarket , London . Educational Surraaok . —A Correspondent , addressing Lord John Russell , suggests the extension of the suffrage , accompanied by the ballot , annual parliaments , ( and all other points requisite , ) to every malo adult in England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales , of whatever sect , colour , oi creed , of sane mind , unconvict ! d of crime , and who has at present attained 21 years ot age , and can read and write reasonably well , first being examined by a proper person appointed for the purpose . All those who cannot read and write " to get themselves taught , " which having done , to be thin

      placed on the list of electors . Our correspondent thinks that , by the adoption of this system , thepeople would be stimulated to educate themselves without putting the state to any expense , Our objections to any scheme of suffrage , which does not recognise the franchise as a right , have been so often stated that it is unnecessary to repeat them here . Besides , as we think , Lord John Russell will be found not more willing to agree to the above compromise than he is fer the adoption of the Charter , We prefer sticking by the good old scheme , which has the support of millions , and which founded on justice , musJ ultimately

      prevail . An EniNBOKGn Member op the Land Society . — Your letter shall bo laid before the ensuing eont ' e . rence . Ma .

A Republican Chabtist , Torquay . —We regret extremely that our friend should have rt-ad the concluding portion of last week ' s article to such little purpose . Perhaps we have a stronger preference for the Republican form of government over all others than he has , while we beg to assure him that , with the Charter , he may call the executive stock , block ,

      or barrel , hog , Jog , or frog , or any thing else he pleases , provided the power behind aud around his majesty is greater than his majesty himself . We are for the throne , aud we are for seeing upon that throne a perfect impersonation of ihe people ' s will , and reu oveable at the people's pleasure . The meaning of monarch is one head , the meaning of the throne is the thing upon which that one head wags , and our desire is to see a throne with a head upon it , that will wag to the tune of the national will .

      tins notorious place has been enclosed , called Lawrence-street , previous to the demolition of tho house .-. A row of houses is to be erected on their site to be called St . Giles ' s-crescent . There is now only o .-u part of this labyrinth ol courts and alleys remaining , termed Churcb-lane , containing about fifty houses . It is said , in the ConstititUonntl , that the Virgin ( Atoclia , on the day ofthe marriage , was covered wirl , a magnificent chemisette , a present of Ferdinand VI 1 . on his return in 1 S 14 , and a petticoat admirably embroidered , by Don Antonio , the uncle of Ferdinand . The vintages throughout the whole of Europe ( England not excepted ) have this season yielded asup . ply of grapes , which , for quantity as well as quality , has perhaps never been equalled , or at all events excellent in the present generation .

      A weekly journal , to be called the Contemporaneo , is announced for publication at Rome , under the immediate sanction of his Holiness . It is to be especially devoted to the investigation of questions of trade , industry , and political economy . The manufacturers of Lille have , like those oi Rouen , got up an association in favour of the protective system . Tiif poor in St . Panckas Workhouse . —Dr . Arthur Farre , senior physician to King ' s College Hospital , who wasreeently appointed by the ^ Poorr-lawCommissioners to accompany Mr . Hall , the Assistant Commissioner , to St . Pancras workhouse , and inspect the oakum-room , the females' " shed , " and other places anpronriated to the " refractory" paupers , has

      furnished his report ; to the Poor-law Commissioner * . He declares the sleeping apartments of the workhouse to be inconveniently crowded , some oi the rooms being ao full of beds that they touch each other . Ofthe well-known " shed" he remarks : " The term * shed' by which this room appears to be familiarly designated , does not seem to have been applied to it in consequence of any peculiarity in its construction , as it does not in this respect differ from other rooms in the house . But the work which is now carried on in this room , having been at one period conducted under a shed , the name has been retained , although the place of work has been long since changed . Ol the . dietary Dr . Farre says , " In reference to the two points relating to diet upon which I am to give

      my opinion , namely as to the sufficiency of the diet provided for the class termed * refractory , ' as specified in the table sent , and also to its sufficiency , when the allowance of meat is withheld , and jhalf ' a pound of potatoes substituted for it for the period of a week , which , under certain circumstances , is stated to be the practice of the workhouse , 1 think , with reference to the first point , that the dietary is sufficient , except in the allowance of meat , which is onethird less than on the ordinaay diet of the house , without the substitution of any other article for it . 1 think this permanent reduction in the allowance ol meat for tho oakum wards is objectionable , and I

      would recommend that either the in-oportiou should be increased , or more bread be substituted for it . In regard to the second point , 1 think the entire withdrawal | of meat for a week from the dietary of the oaktiiii ward , as at present constituted , and the substitution of half a pound of potatoes , renders the diet too little sustaining ; but I think if more bread were added , the alteration would not then be objectionable of full growth and good health for the period merti' -. ned . " Tbe CotnmisBionershave addressed the St . Pcncras guardians in a manner which is clearly expressive of disapproval of their conduct to the poor under their charge .

      Stratagems in Law , —The Abeille Caachoisc relates that a huissier of the district of Caux had , a Jew d . iys back , to arrest a debtor . He perceived l \ im . i ? ing at , l ! s sll ° P » oor , but in order to enter the dwelling and seize him here he required tinpresence of a juge de pais . If he went for thai functionary , the debtor mi ght hear of the matter m the meantime , and escape . The huissier , in consequence , went boldly ud to the window , and , snatching up a bowl of golden fish , made off . Th .-debtor , not suspecting anything , ran after him , and soon overtook him . Then the position of the two men were reversed , as the huissier being at full liberty to act in the public street , turned on his pursuer , and , to his great astonishment , arrested Ivim .

      DEATH FROM WANT . On Wednesday , an inquest was heldat Cripplegafe , on the body of Maria HoUiday , aged eleven years , who died from cold and hunger .

The family consisted of a man , wife , and aiz children , of whom the deceased was the eldest but one , The deceased was first taken ill with a bowel complaint , about three wieks ago , and since then another of the children had been attacked With tbe same complaint . The deceased died on Sunday last . TheCoromr—What do you suppose was the cause of the child's death ?

      Witnsss—More from want than from anything else . This child , and all the others , as well as the father and mother , w more than half naked , AH that they had to rest upon was a sack of flock , thrown in one corner of the room . Tlie father used to sit up while the child , now dead , lay ou this bundle . It was there that it dud . The Coroner—When did ho first apply for any assistance ? Witness —Some weeks ago , when he came out of the hospital , he applied to Mr . Roberts , the rtflieyin S officer , and was allowed half a crown and four loaves per week .

      Harriet Wells , aunt of the deceased , was next examined . She said that the distress of the husband commenced when his tools were burnt in the fire at SUney's in Skinner ' s-street , Bishops-ate-street . He had then just come out of St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital , and his losses by the fire made himill again . He was compelled to part with his furniture , and even to his wife's and children ' s clothes , to support his family . He would not stoop to beg assiitanee , but lived iu hope of being better from day to day , until at last he was reduced so low that he was ashamed to show himself . The parish surgeon , said the deceased was sufferin <* from an attack of diarrnliooa brought on by want of pro " per clothing and nourishment . This was the cause o £ her death , which took place on Sunday .

      The jury returned a verdict of " Died from diarrhea , brought on by want of clothing and nourishment , " adding , that not the least blame was attributable to the parish officers . The Coroner placed some gold in the hand of Mrs . aley , and directed her to use it us best -he eauld to relieve the sufferings of the family .
