Ihe Apprehended Strike Ox The
"sisable to serve tbe present fourteen dayB notice to quit ou twelve of the men , aud on Tuesday tbey also gave notices to quit lo ten additional drivers and firemen . It appears tbat some cf ibe men both at Rugby and Camden Town have reported themselves sick , and thus relieved themselves from doty , as the authorities believe , for the purpose of going to various places aud agitating the men . The company still allege that many of these men have received tbeir notices for incompetency and impertinence to their superior officers . Certain , however , it is that the men who have received these notices seem to be exasperated to the highest pitch , and , although nearly every maa on the _southern division has _exjreSed his willingness to remaia in the company ' s service under existing _regulations , there is no knowing what influence the recent step 3 of th ? company , In dismissing so many men , may have , several being drivers of thirteen or fourteen years' standing on the line .
On the part of tbe mea it ia but just to state that there seeraes every disposition to conciliation , and they appear particularly anxious that the directors -md the public should he _assuradthat they altogether repudiate a " strike , " or any attempt at a strike . They declare positively they never contemplated a strike ; and in answer to a oue-tton put to a large body of drivers awl firemen , at the _Camden Station , on Tuesday evening , they declared " that if the wages of the Earthen : men were reduced on that part of the line to Is . per day , they would not strike in consequence ; and that all the interference they adopted was to ask Mr . Glyn , M . P .. as chairman oi the company , to become tbe mediitor
between ihe authorities of the northern division and their men . " In the face of this , however , it is stated that when the deputation of tbe southern division engine drivers waited on Mr . Glyn , they even to that _gentleman ' s face intimated tbat a strike would take place unless the men ' s wishes were met . The best spirit appears to prevail among the mea , and it is to he hoped that their voluntary recommendation of adopting a month ' s notice on the sou _' . hein division , in lieu of the present fortnight ' s notice , will be generally acted upon . Should it take place there can oe no doubt but the directors will receive it as a concession , and tbat even the notices already served on the men mav be withdrawn .
On Thursday night a general meeting of the engine drivers and firemen engaged upon the southern division of ihe London and North Western "Railway was held at the Railway Tavern , Camden Town , in order to determine , if possible , upon some final measure in reference to the matter whicb has for the past fortnight agitated tbem . About fifty drivers and firemen had assembled at the Railway Tavern by ten o ' clock , when the chair was taken by Richard Walkrr . He observed that since their last meeting a good many ofthe men at Camden station had received notice to leave the
company ' s service in a fortnight , and that be himself wasone . He had been some years in the employment ofthe company , and he could only say that he was perfectly satisfied with his employment . He had never proposed a strike , and never wished a strike . He believed every man at Camden Town entertained tha same views , and as it was now absolutely necessary that they should speak out what their views and Wishes were , he should suggest , as he understood some resolutions bad been prepared that they should be proposed and put to the _meetins * . ( Hear , hoar . )
Frederick Allex said he had never advocated strikes , and never would . He had a resolution to propose , and he trusted the meeting would agree to it unanimously . It was aa follows : — " Resolved —That this meeting , consisting of engine drivers aud firemen engaged at the Camden-town , and other stations on the southern division of the London and North-Western Railway , beg to express their satisfaction with tbe regulations at present existing on their division ofthe line , independently of any grievances which may be stated 30 exist elsewhere . " T . WoonLrr seconded the resolution , which was parried nnanimouslv . _"
_SIatthkw Hall then moved the following : — " That a copy ofthe foregoing resolution be sent to Mr . _M'Conncil , requesting that he will present it to Mr . Glyn , accompanied with a respectful intimation tbat the men who have received notice upon the southern division would be happy to remain in tbe service ofthe company . " J . M'Millas secotii ' ed the resolution , which was supported by Latham , Stewart , Greenwell and others , and was cani < d unanimously . The meetins soon after broke up .
A depuration from the Great Western Railway were in attendance though not present , and when tbey heard the reeolutions that had been come to tbey expressed tbeir determination to address the directors to regue 3 t that the notices tbat have been given to the men might be withdrawn .

The German Democratic Party. 2.-—T/Ie Re...
THE GERMAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY . 2 .- —T / ie Revolution and the Present Condition of Parties and of ths Nation . On the 19 th of March , 1-318 , the King of Prussia proclaimed the election of a National Assembly , " on tbe largest Democratic basis . " The Assembly was elected , and met in Berlin , " to enact the fundamental law of Prussia . " At the same time a National Assembly for Germany was elected on a similar basis , by the whole
German nation , and met at Frankfort-on-ths-Mnin . Each German Government , and even the Diet of Frankfort , professed to recognise " the supreme legislative power of that National Assembly . " Under the influence ofthe alarm occasioned by the simultaneous revolutionary movements of Europe , the King of Prussia , and other German Princes , professed to grant more than royalty could honestly intend permanently to concede ; a premonitory symptom from the first of their subsequent perfidy , which is immorally defended and excused by some , hut which cannot now be denied .
They granted more than their peoples were prepared wisely to use and to secure ; for the revolution _, ia _Germany at first raised to popular power the only well-organised Liberal party , tltat constitutional party which neither originated nor sprang from the revolution , which was not imbued with its tendencies and principles , nor , consequently , capable of conducting it to success . The policy in whicb this party had been educated was that of extorting partial reforms by the fear of revolution . That policy was clearly only applicable to a time in which revolution , being stiU only in prospect , the Kings might be induced to concessions for the sake © f
avoiding it , and bound to the faithful observance of them by the same motive . The revolution having broken out , compromise might have been a rational policy , if the world ' s history had not long ago shown that the words of princes are no sufficient guarantee for the liberties of their subjects ; but with the had faith of the royal houses , of which a knowledge of human nature ought to bave forewarned the constitutional party , compromise after revolution was to divest and destroy the revolution itself , and to secure nothing for tho people ; for the mere selfish policy of the Kings could no longer be to avoid a danger which had already arrived , but to defeat it .
This reasoning was not then understood by the Constitutional party . They obtained a majority in the assemblies of both Berlin and Frankfort . And one of the first resolutions of the Berlin Assembly , abandoning the principle of popular sovereignty , was to declare tbat the representatives of the people * had not to enact of themselves the fundamental law of the country , but to make a compact , a bargain ( eine _verfassung zu vereinbaren ) with the king . The Frankfort National Assembly did , indeed , professedly proceed to enact the fundamental law for Germany , for it waa hopeless to concoct a bargain with thirty-four royal and princely houses out they chose an Austrian Archduke as provisional chief of the empire , and despatched the forces under their command against every popular movement in the smaller states .
From that moment a bitter feeling pervaded the nation , A sew revolution became necessary to reconquer the lights professedly conceded under the influence of the first . The Democratic party , whose organisation and strength as a party bad yielded to that of the Constitutionalists , began to unite and organise themselves more closely under tbe defeat which a policy of compromise waa entailing on the people . They were obliged to accept the situation however hopeless , and to commence a struggle when the best chances of success were already gone . They ranged then-selves in absolute hostility to the Constitutionalists ; they obtained a majority in the Berlin Assembly and endeavoured , though _unsucoessfolly , there by legislative _enactmenta , and in _Inuiifort and Tienna . b y insurrection , to defend the sovereignty of the people . The party of concession , true to its polioy , joined the princes . At the Gotha _meeting , which tnnk
place shortly alter the dissolution of the National Assembly at Stuttgardt in Juae , 1849 , the Constitutional , Gagern or Gotha party , as tbey have been variously called , gave up the very constitution which they themselves had , enacted as tbe majority in the Frankfort Assembly . Afterwards they joined Manteuffel and Radowitz at Erfurt in the attempt to form a Prussian Union . They deserted the revolution ; they lost tbeir political influence , their character , and almost their existence as a partv . The want of unity and organisation of the Demo cratic party in the first instance contributed to the saccsss of tbe counter revolution . It was divided Mo Row-list , Republican , and Social Democrats . The words " Royalist Democrats " seem to imply a contradiction , and at least require explanation . The Royalist Democrats , existing only in Prussia , we should call Constitutionalists in England , for their theory waa to deprive royalty of all real power

and influence , and to govern , as in this country , by Parliamentary majorities . They were not oalled Constitutionalists in Prussia , because that title had already been bestowed upon a previously existing party , the Gotha party , whose constitutional scheme was not to govern by Parliaments under a monar chical form of government , but to effect a compromise in the division of real power between prince and people . . __ In the month of October , 1848 , tbe Democratic partvunited as a majority at Berlin , voted Unruh
, into the chair as president , and Waldeck as vicepresident of the Assembly . Waldeck and Unruh , with Jacoby , lleichenbach , Semme _, and others , were the leaders of the Royalist Democrats who would hare accorded to the King of Prussia a constitutional position simihrto that of our monarchs . The king might have called them to power , they would have been supported by all German patriots , would have united the nation and realised its liberties ; he chose a different course , and turned out the National Assembly bv military force .
Thus the King of Prussia himself converted Royalists into Republicans , and Constitutionalists into Democrats , and ranged against the existence of his house a majority " of three-fourths of the constituencies of the kingdom . The first electoral law of Prussia under the revolution had been that of equal and universal suffrage , a new electoral law , conferring unequal votes on different classes of the population , was now octroyed in the old form of a Cabinets ordre . The Democratic party , under the advice of their committee , abstained from voting ; bat they published the number of electors , thus abstaining from the vote in every part of the kingdom , and proved that they amounted to _threefourtbs of tbe population . The new Assembly was elected by the court party and the Constitutionalists alone , and was called the Minority ' s Chamber ( Minori ' ats-Kammer ) .
The tale of Frussia , repeated with more cruelty , more bloodshed , and more reckless perfidy , is essentially that of Austria . Throughout all Germany the effect is the same ; the revolution of 1819 , and the perfidy of the reigning houses has created and organised one great national democratic party Germany has played its part in the great revolutionary game which was to resolve Europe into two great camps—Cossack , and Republican . It may be well to name some of the loading men of the German Democratic party at Frankfort , in Baden , and Saxony . Iu the Frankfort Assembly the leading Democrats were Blum ( shot at Vienna ) , Rugc , Triitzschler ( shot ) , L . Simon von Treves , Loewe von Calve , H . Simon von Breslau , Voigt , and Raveaux , The three last were elected to an executive
committee of all Germany by the short-lived parliament at at Stuttgardt . At the head of the Badish insurrection were—Hecker , Struve , Blind , Brentaux , Goegg , and others . The leaders of the insurrection in Saxony were —Heubner ( since imprisoned ) , Todt , Zschirner , and Uakuinne ( a Russian emigrant , since imprisoned ) . The Prussian opposition has the advantage of not being banished from the country . Constitutionalists are now , as a popular party , no more ; Royalist Democrats havo surreadered their hopes of teaching real constitutionalism to Prussia ' s king , and are merged in the great Republican or Anti-Royalist Democratic party . The
popular hopes which centered in Prussia are disappearing ; she is bound hand foot to the new Holy Alliance ofthe kings , and tbat new Holy Alliance is no longer a union of independent monarchs for a common political object , but it is a league dominated and guided by tbe immense powers , the obstinate traditional policy of aggrandisement , and the secret and corrupt machinations of Russia . In Germany the people have become Republicans ; the monarchs , whether they will or no , are being drawn within the toils of the Cossack . To keep down their subjects , whom tbey have converted intotheirenemies , they havo armed thepeople _asrainst the people . But thev are on the horns of a
dilemma ; they cannot permanently keep up their enormous armaments , if they attempt it they hasten the period of a recommencement of revolution ; if they disband their armies , they distribute amongst the masses ofthe people a disciplined and military and really hostile population , which it wa 9 most easy to control by keeping it under the discipline of army regulation . The Badish , tho Hessian , the Hungarian , and even the Prussian and Austrian army , have their martyrs on the battle-field and the scaffold , and are penetrate" ! by the influences and by tho spirit of 1818 . The former appear themselves to dread the results of a defensive policy , and to be uneasily anxious to engage in some armed action , or some asfgressive policy .
Instead of the juvenile organisation of German Democracy in 1818 , it is now united in its objects ; it possesses chiefs of political experience and tried character ; and it comprehends three-fourths ot the nation . It is agreed in desiring the unity of the nation , and the _' destruction of the ruling dynasties . It is agreed in seeking to realise the sovereignty of tbe people , by the re-establishment of Universal Suffrage . Recognising the princip le in this practical form , if it accomplished a revolution in Prussia , it would return to the National Assembly dismissed by the King by foree of arms , in 1848 ; if iu Germany , it would revert to the Parliament dissolved ia Stuttgardt , in 1842 , after the failure of the 13 th of June at Paris .
The political question , national unity , popular liberty , and the Republic , is tbe question in Germany—Social theories differ , and are the origin of differing schools , as in France ; with an instructed , a thinking , and a speculative and philosophizing people , it cannot be otherwise . But thore is this great difference between the two countries , that Germany has thirty-four princes to overthrow , the national unity to accomplish , and the Republic to obtain ; in fact , one stage of the political question to go through , before social theories canj become anything but a subordinate question in the public mind .
Capture Of A Borolar.—John Edwards A Sto...
Capture of a Borolar . —John Edwards a stout determined looking man was brought up at the Marlborougb-street police court on Friday , charged with having committed a burglary at the house of Mr . Bibra , tobacconist , No . 2 , Old Comptonstreet . —Leopold Ernest Bibra stated that he carried on the business of a tobacconist , at No . 2 , Old Compton-street , and slept in the lower part of the premises . About three o ' clock that morning he was awakened by his wife , who said she feared there were thieves iu the house . He got up as he was , and went up stairs into tbe passage . He saw a man standing near the street door . He called out , " What do you want ? " The man replied , " There are thieves in the bouse . " He said to the man , " I'll thieves you , " and immediately seized him . A severe struggle ensued , and he was greatly
assisted by his wife , who , with a steel in her hand , came forward and struck atthe man . The blows wero warded off by a bag , containingtwodecanters , which the man had in his hand , and were broken during the struggle . Owing to the noise , and call for police , an alarm was created , which resulted in the appearance of a constable , to whom the prisoner was given into custody . A bag was examined which was found in the passage , filled with property ready to be carried off . The bag contained twenty-eight pounds of cigars , a quantity of cigar cases and pipes , valued at £ 20 . The premises had evidently been entered by the aid of false keys , as no marks of violence were to be seen either on tbe street or the shop doors . In the prisoner ' s possession were eleven skeleton keys , one of which opened the street door of tbe prosecutor ' s house . The prisoner declined to make any defence , and was fully committed .
Accident at shs Loxdon ahd North-western Railway Stawo . v , _Maschesteb . — An accident occurred on New-Year ' s Day morning to the mail train which leaves London at 6 . 30 a . m ., as it was entering the station in Manchester at 2 . 10 p . m ., which led to several passengers being hurt , but happily none of them were seriously or dangerously injured . The train had stopped for tickets to be collected at Ardwick , and was again iu motion , and passing the points of the South Junction line , when the engine ran off tbe rails exactly at the points , taking with it the tender , luggage van , and the
second-class carriage . The motion of the train was slow , but this check to its progress was sufficient to throw the passengers in the second-class carriage from their seats , and several of them were shaken and bruised . A lad y , gentleman , and a soldier of the 3 rd Dragoon Guards , were tbe only passengers , however , who it was necessary to furnish surgical aid to . The lady had three teeth damaged , the gentleman a cut across tbe nose , and the soldier a slight laceration across the temples . They were all able to proceed to their destination after their wound 3 had been dressed , without further
inconvenience . Another Daring Burglary near _Fbqtxe ; . —On Thursday morning , about three o ' clock , tbe mansion of the Misse 3 Farncombe , called Downland House , near Uckfield , Sussex , was broken into by seven armed men , whose faces were disguised with nightcaps and crape . The fellows secured the ladies and tbeir servants in one of the upper rooms , and whilst some of tbem kept guard , the others proceed to ransack the premises . They remained in the house nearly two hours , regaling themselves
with ham , cheese , bread , wine , and porter , when they took their departure , getting clear off with their bootv , consisting of silver plate marked "F , " value £ 20 * 0 ; two gold watches , a quantity of _wstly " jewellery , gold snuff boxes , Ac ; one £ 10 , and _sevente-m £ § Bank of England notes ; and about £ 30 in gold and silver . A reward of £ 50 ia offered for the discovery of phe robbers . This daring burglary was committed at no great distance from Frunley , where the Rev . Mr . Holiest was so recently murdered .
Several colmsrs _from-Eilmarnock have been aired by the Hudson ' s Bay Company , to proceed to Vancouver ' s Island , in order to work tbe coal alines _.

Southward-A Hard Cash,-An Elderly Man, N...
_SOUTHWARD-A Hard Cash ,-An elderly man , named Gale , living in Saunders-street _, in the parish of Lambeth , applied for the magistrate ' s advice relative to his wife , who recently died in one ofthe Borough hospitals , and whose body , he being destitute , was unable to bury . —The applicant , who is seventy-four years of age , stated that his wife , who is one year older than himself , died in St . Thomas ' s Hospital a fortnight ago , and that he was made acquainted with the event , with directions at the same time to remove the body . He , however , owing to his poverty , having received relief from Lambeth parish , was unable to comply with the above directions , and he therefore called uoon tbe parochial authorities , and explained to
them that his wife was lying dead in the hospital , and app lied to them cither to bury / the corpse , or to give bim the means to enable him to do so . The parisli officers , however , refused to help him in this emergency , and being afraid himself that the body of his poor wife , to whom he had been married upwards of half a century , would be used for anatomical purposes , to which he had a strong repugnance ( the old man cried bitterly ) , if it was not brought sneedily away from the hospital , he therefore called at this court , in order to have the magistrate ' s advice how to act upon an occasion which so concerned his peace of mind . He had applied at the Lambeth Police Court on the subject , but was referred to this court for information how to act
on the occasion . —Mr . Edwin , the chief clerk , said that the applicant ' s wife having been removed from Lambeth to the hospital in which she died , he was of opinion that the parish was boudd to bury her , and not St . Olave ' _s , in which parish the hospital is situated ; that it would be an enormous expense on the latter parish if they were compelled to buvy those patients that died in that institution , and whose bodies were not owned by relations , or who were unable to pay for their interment . —Mr . a'Beckett said that the woman having died a fortnight ago , it was quite time that measures should be adopted for depositing the body in a grave by one or the other ofthe parishes mentioned , instead of permitting the old man ' s feelings to be lacerated
by the fear that the corpse would be disposed of in a very different way . The magistrate directed Guest , one of the summoning officers of the court , to proceed without loss of time to ascertain the cause of the refusal ofthe parish officers to have the body of the applicant ' s wife buried , in order that other steps might be taken if it was not speedily carried into effect . —The applicant , who expressed his gratitude for the magistrate ' s interference , then left the court with the officer for the above purpose . MANSION-HOUSE . — Begging Imposters . —Two men , named Brown and Goldsmith , were brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having attempted to impose upon a gentleman by a tale of fictitious distress . The complainant said the
men walked into his counting-house , and Goldsmith , pointing to Brown , said the poor fellow was suffering from a severe injury caused by a fall from a scaffold , and many persons connected with tbe building trade were contributing to his support in consequence of his inability to work . Brown , who had hobbled into the counting-house , put on a look of misery corresponding' with the statement ; but the comp _' ainant had witnessed cases of imposition , and believing the present application to be of that character refused to givo any contribution . " Only look over the list , " said tbe pretended in-lived Brown , " and you will see the names of severa gentlemen whom you know . " "I see there are , " replied the complainant , " but I don't know that
their writiog is there , and I think more injury than good is done by giving money under these circumstances . Brown then made some insolent comments upon ths illiberal treatment he had received , and both prisoners left the house , the lame one having , in the course of the short interview , completely recovered the use of his legs . Perceiving that the fellows were imposters of the most audacious description , the complainant followed and gave them both into custo iy . Goldsmith ( who had a clean white apron upon him , and a rule in his hand as if he had just left his business to recommend Brown to the notice of the humane ) made no resistance _, but the would-be cripp le made a resolute but ineffectual attempt to escape from the grasp of
the policeman . —The Lord Mayor : Are these men known by our officers ? Horsford , one of the officers of the Mendicity Society , said he knew them both as most notorious imposters an < l cheats ; that Brown , wbose real name was Clare , belonged to the Westminster gang , who were constantly practising upon tho generous and unsuspecting ; and had not done a stroke of work for the last six years , and that Goldsmith generally accompanied him to detail the multitude of his grievances . Brown declared that he was really suffering from the consequences of a full , as be had represented , and that he was willing to work . —Horsford : Where was the scaffold from which you fell ? Brown was struck silent by the Question . Several officers
proved that the prisoners had been for a series ot years sturdy and well-fed beggars , and that they generally dined in coffee-houses at fashionable hours after they had done busiuess . —The Lord Mayor said he should , at all events , prevent the prisoners from pursuing their trade for some time , and sentenced each to be imprisoned for three months in Bridewell and to be kept at hard labour . GUILDHALL . —Have tour Coals Weighed . — Captain William Ray , coal and coke merchant , advertising as of 30 , Robert-street , Hoxton , was summoned for delivering forty sacks of coals of less than the legal weight to Messrs . Cuthbert _, _tallowmelters , of _Paternoster-row . —The summons had been served at tho nominal address of the defendant
when it was found that Captain Ray did not live there , but only had his letters directed at the house . —Mary Fawkes , of 30 , Robert-street , Hoxton , said : I know nothing of Captain Ray . I received a summons against bim , whioh is still lying at my house . A short gentleman always calls for orders and letters directed to Captain Ray . Sometimes he calls twice a day . I have taken in letters for Captain Ray about twelve months , for which I was to have beer , paid a share of the profits in the way of commission , or a few coals now and then . I have had only one ton of coals from him . On Saturday last the short gentleman came and told me to discontinue taking orders . —Mr . Cuthbert said tbat in consequence cf _an-advertisement tbat appeared in the Times , offering the best Walls-End coals at 18 s . per ton , he was induced to send an order for four tons . They were delivered , and he
continued for about six . weeks to have tour tons every week from Captain Ray , which were always promptly delivered : but on weighing the sacks it was found that out of forty sacks of coal only fourteen contained their full weight of 224 lbs . He tben produced a list of the sacks as they were taken out ofthe waggon on delivery , which showed a deficiency in tbe four tons of coal of 7 ewt . 3 _qrs . 91 bs ., or 4 _j sacks out of 40 . —Alderman Lawrence said that there was no doubt but that some very extensive fraud was being carried on , and Mr . Cuthbert had rendered the public a very essential service in exposing Captain Ray and his coal company . He hoped that in the event of this appearing in the papers Captain Ray would call at the court and explain the transaction , and also that the public would not allow themselves , for the sake of a few shillings , to be defrauded .
MARLBOROUGH - STREET , — Indbceht Assault . —Walter Greig , a tailor , living at No . 0 , South-row , Great Marlborougb-street , was charged with having indecently assaulted Sarah Heath , his servant . The girl , who stated her age to be thirteen , said she went to live at the defendant's house about a week ago . On Christmas-day , after dinner , ber mistress went out , leaving her in the bouse with the defendant . She had occasion to go into the parlour for some purpose , when be laid hold
other , and placmg ber on his knee committed the first assault . Bemg desirous to get away from him , sbe told him her sister was outside . He called in her sister , who was younger than herself , gave her a penny , and then sent her home . As soon as her sister was gone he repeated the assault , and complainant at last getting out of the room by an excuse , went homo and told betparents of her master ' s conduot towards her . The defendant denied the charge , and the case WAS Sent to the sessions for trial .
Robbing a Masibr . —William Locock was charged with stealing three £ 5 Bank of England notes , the property of Mr . Henry Renaud , proprietor of Limmer ' s Hotel , Conduit-street , aud _TUomas Harper and George Hawkins were charged with being parties to tbe offence . —Mr . Henry Renaud said the prisoner Locock had been employed as under porter for about sixteen months . On tbe 3 rd of September he gave the prisoner a letter directed , to Miss Renaud _, at the Bellevue Hotel , Bangor , and he told the prisoner to be careful of the letter , as it contained money . In the letter were three £ 5 Bank notes , tbe numbers of which ho knew . The letter never reached its destination , ' and ho then communicated with the police . The three notes were afterwards paid into the Bank of England . —Inspector Field , of the' Detectives , said be took the prisoner
into custody on the 23 rd of December last , telling him that he was charged with stealing a letter which contained three £ 5 Bank of England notes . The prisoner voluntarily said , " I'll tell you all about it . I broke open the letter , and I took tbe notes out . The next day I met Hawkins , who was living with a newsvender named flutton , in Catherine street . I told Hawkins I had . stolen some notes , and I asked him if he would get tbem changed for me . Ho said he would , and 1 gave him two £ 5 notes , and he afterwards returned eight sovereigns to me , keeping two for himself . I kept the other j 65 note for some time , and then I gave it to Hai' _-iec , a cabman , to get changed . I only got 5 s . out of the third note . " ' Witness , on this statement , took the two other prisoners into custody . —Locock was committed , and tbe other prisoners were remanded .

personal attractions , presented the following letter to the sitting magistrate , Mr . Hardwick : — " Sir , I take the liberty of addressing you , as a magistrate and a gentleman , to inform you of my painful situation , and to implore your protection , and any assistance ifc may be in your power to afford me , until I am able to procure some situation to support myself by honest means . On the 15 th November I was induced to leave my father ' s house , Mr . Simmons , late clerk in the goods department , Derby Railway Station , with Mr . Louis Leopold de la _Pessez , a young Spaniard , to whom I have been known for twelve years , he promising to marry me on my arrival in London . 1 fondly and foolishly relied on his honour ; and after living with him three days , he promised to marry me every day . He left me
without any intimation , and I have never seen him since . I need hardly add he left me almost penniless , for all I had was 15 s . Gd ., on which , and on the produce of the sale of my clothes , I have continued to live over nince . I am anxious to redeem my lost onamter and honour as far asl can . I have written to my father , but received no answer . I have brought this letter myself , and wait the honour of seeing you , if it should be your pleasure , and to answer what questions you may think pvoper to ask me . —' -1 have the honour to be , sir , your humble servant , —M . A . Simmons . "— -Mr , Hardwick asked the young woman if the letter was her own writing . —Tho applicant replied that it was . She had been induced to take this 6 tep from havin" seen in tho papers that assiatanee was occasionally granted to persons in her unfortunate position .--To questions , the applicant replied that
the young gentleman witn wnom sne came to iiondou , was in the Roman catholic college at Derby , kept by an Irish Roman catholic priest named Sing . She lived at Derby with her friends , and this _afforded the young gentleman an opportunity of keeping up the acquaintance with her . _; Shelwas , most anxious to get a situation abroad if possible to hide her shame andto retrieve her character . At present , however , she was wholly destitute of the means of even paying for a night ' s lodging . —Mr . Hardwick at first thought of sending the young woman to the House of Charity in Rose-street for a short time , but at the applicant ' s request consented to give the means of sending her to Derby , where sbe bad relations living . —The applicant expressed herself very grateful for this seasonable assistance , and left the court in charge of an officer to mako the requisite arrangements .
