      Alleged Brutal "Violence Of Policemen. O...

      ALLEGED BRUTAL "VIOLENCE OF POLICEMEN . On Thursday afternoon Mr . H . M . Wakley held a lengthened inquiry at tbe Rising Sun , Hig h-street , Marylebone , touching the death of James Geary , aged 28 , a plasterer , residing at No . , Gonwayeonrt , who was alleged to have died from blows inflicted by two sergeants ot tne police force . — Catherine Donoghue said she w as a sister ofthe deceased , who was a married man , and enjoyed an excellent state of health up to the evening ofthe 18 th of August last . On the follo wing morning ( Sunday ) , between twelv e and one o ' clock , witness saw the deceased ly ing on bis back on the pave * ment near the Angel public-house , corner of Marylebone-lan e and High-street , and Sergeant Bushel ! , So . 9 D , was over bim with hia left band in his neckerchief , and kneeling on the deceased ' s chest . The deceased man called out for God ' s sake not to strangle him , and he would walk quietly if they would allow him to get up . Witness wpnt un and begged of tbe sergeant and another

      constable , who bad hold of deceased , not to use him so cruelly . Shortlv after the deceased was dragged np from tbe ground , but be had not gone many yards wben Sergeant Bushell , who is a tall stout man , dashed the deceased violently _against some area railings , ancd strnck him over the arms and legs with his stave . Deceased did not oifer the least resistance to the police , and walked quietly alone ; the sergeant and the other constable , who had hold of him , continued to strike and punch the deceased with their staves as tbey proceeded

      towards tbe station-house . A crowd was collected , who cried shame on th e officers , nnd told them not to use him so brutally , but they did not molest them in the slig htest manner . Deceased was quite sober when the police had hold of him . and on recognising witness he begged of her not to interfere , as they ¦ would serve her in the same way . Deceased was bailed out on the Sunday , and on his return home he complained of violent pains all over his body , from the illusage he had received , and took to bis herl and ho was unable to go to his work for nearly

      three weeks , when feeling better he resumed his employment for about ten days , when he became so bad that he again took to bis bed . Mr . _O'Flaherty , surgeon , attended him until his deatb , which took place on tbe previous Thursday . —The widow ofthe deceased corroborated tbe previous witness . Sir . T . _O'Flaherty , surgeon , deposed that deceased had died from pleuritis , which might have arisen from violence , orfrom a cold . —The inquiry , which had lasted four hours , was eventually adjourned to procure the proper identity of the two police constables . : On Friday the inquest was again resumed and after receiving some further evidence , the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Nathaniel Eaton _Bushell , " and the jury expressed regret that witnesses had not come forward who GOuld identify the other constable engaged in the outrage . The coroner issued his warrant , and the accused was conveyed to _Newgate .

      Extraordinary Seizure Of Stolen Plate Ax...

      _EXTRAORDINARY SEIZURE OF STOLEN PLATE _AXD JEWELLERY IX THE CITY . A very remarkable seizure of stolen property of the most valuable description has been effected on the premises of a gold and silver refiner carrying on an . extensive business in the heart of the City of London . Within the past few days , a robbery of plate to a very large amount from the residence of a Roman Catholic clergyman named Richards , of Bootlc , near Liverpool , has been reported to tbe authorities at Scotland-yard , and on Wednesday last three detective officers went to the extensive premises of Mr . Sirrell , of 53 and 54 Barbican . Upon entering the shop , Mr . Lund at once directed lis brother officers to seize two large packages ¦ which were lying upon the counter , and at the same moment _addressins Mr . Sirrell , he inquired whether

      he had received a Tetter from Liverpool that morning . Mr . Sirrell replied that he had , and at once handed a letter over to 3 Ir . Lund for his inspection . After glancing at its contents , Mr . Lund told Mr . Sirrell that it -was his _xropleasant duty to inform him that he must consider himself in custody on suspicion of receiving stolen goods . The two packages referred to were then opened , and the contents found to consist of the produce of two robberies recently effected in the neighbourhood of Liverpool , one of them being that of Jlr . Richards . Mr . Lund , then proceeded to tbe Lotbbury offices of the Electric Telegraph Company . Arriving there he availed himself of the information gained from the letter , and telegraphed to _ilr . Dowling , the chief of the Liverpool police , requesting that lie would

      immediately apprehend two persons , named Macauley and Maguire , whose addresses and description were given . Within a short half hour telegraphic intelligence was received in London from Mr . Dowling , to tbe effect that Macauiey and Maguire were in custody , and _requesting- that Air . Sirrel might be sent down to Liverpool . Mr . Sirrell was accordingly sent down in custody on Wednesday night Meantime officers had been left in charge of his premises , and a very superficial examination of the stock contained in the two houses , disclosed the nefarious nature of his dealings . An immense quantity of plate , bearing crests and cyphers , and evidently , stolen property , was found in various places , and no less tban five crucibles were at work when the officers entered . The number of watches

      discovered is almost incredible . Upwards of 300 of them have the cases torn off , and only tbe works are remaining . Mr . Sirrell has been in business in the same shop for thirty-seven years . He is a widower , and has only one child , a daughter , aged about twenty years " His business was carried on in a most liberal style , and he always employed three shopmen . The prisoners were brought up before tbe county magistrates at Liverpool on Thursday , and remanded until Tuesday next .

Samuel Harwood , a relative , and Mary Ann Croucher , who cohabits with Levi Harwood , have also been arrested . , The prisoners were brought before the magistrates of Guilford , on Friday , and remanded . The funeral of Mr . _HoUesi is to take place on Monday next .

      The Arctic Expeditfojf. Sir John Ros3 Ha...

      THE ARCTIC _EXPEDITfOJf . Sir John Ros 3 has sent two despatches , with enclosures , to the Governor of the Hudson ' s Bay Company , from which we extract the following communication made by a native , to Adam Beek , an Esquimaux interpreter . The inclosnre is from the Felix discovery vessel , off Cape Dudley _Diggs , 14 th August , and states that "in the winter of 1846 , when the snow was falling , two ships were broken by the ice a good way off , in the direction of Cape Dudley Diggs , and afterwards burned by a fierce and numerous tribes of natives . He asserted tbat

      the ships were not whalers—and that epaulettes were worn by some of the white men . That a part Of the crews were drowned ; that the remainder were some time in huts or tents , apart from the natives ; tbat they tad guns , but no balls ; were in a weak and exhausted condition , and were subsequentl y killed by the natives with darts or arrows . " As , however , this report does not agree with that of the steward , John Smith , who also understands the Esquimaux language , and who has seen the native before alluded , but little credence can be given to it .

      Extexsivb Fmu Ax Southwark.—On Thursday ...

      _Extexsivb _Fmu ax Southwark . —On Thursday night , shortly before ten o ' clock , a fire , involving a serious destruction of property , broke out in tbe premises belonging to Messrs . " W . _yf . and R . Brooke , tallow melters and chandlers , 1 , Southwark-bridge-road , nearly facing the Brigade engine station . Tbe premises occupied nearly half an acre of ground , and comprised the melting houses , the mahj n < r s * nop 3 , spacious stores , filled with dips and mouldsof great value ; the warehouses , containing a large and miscellaneous stock ; and the storerooms for depositing casks of tallow in the raw . Although several engines were quickly m attendance and at work , tbe fire extended to the flax warehouse of Mr . Ward , in Little Guddford-street , to one of Tempter's Cottages , and to the backs of several houses in Southwark-bridge-road . The whole af the manufacturing premises and stores are levelled with the ground . Fortunately the firm was insured in the _Phonix and Sun fire offices ,

      council , which we cannot do . The majority that op . posed the League stated , that they never would belong to the old association . Those three gentlemen said they could not agree to the opposition ol the middle class reformers * in fact , all the members were in favour of some suoh ppliov as laid down by the League , for it ap pears that the members ofthe Somers Town locality have been pursuing the same policy—namely , the formation Ot _readingand discussion dam and _library , and the only opponents were Messrs .

      Prircess's Theatre. The Tragedy Of Hamle...

      PRIRCESS'S THEATRE . The tragedy of Hamlet was played on Monday night , and Mr . Charles Kean made his first appearance in character in his own theatre . A 3 Twelfth Night was well chosen for the opening , on account of the celebrity of Mrs > . Kean ' s Viola , so has Hamlet been well selected as the next piece , the part of the Royal Dane being the one of all the Shakspearian repertoire with which Mr . Kean is most identified . Having bestowed on this character the most miuute attention , he has brought it to a finish which we do not find in many modern delineations . Hence , while he brings out with remarkable force all the more salient situations , such as the play-scene and the interview with Gertrude , he affords a constant

      gratification by the elaborate manner m which he works out less prominent details . There is not a passage which does not give evidence of the most careful study , and hence there is something remarkable satisfactory in the impression lcit at the end of the play . The character of Ophelia receives a new value in the hands of Mrs . Kean , who first played it at the Haymarket . The vacancy of madness is most delicately blended with g limmerings of reason , indicated ' by the varied tones and glances with j which she addresses the several personages around her , and the songs are g iven with the nicest regard to dramatic expression . Gertude is sustained in a

      dignified manner by Miss Phillips . The comic characters came out remarkable well . Mr . Harley , as the first gravedigger , was overflowing with sententious importance ; and the air of wondering silliness with which Mr . Meadows , as the second gravedigger , responded to his wisdom , _watf admirably assumed . The traditional fopperies of Osric are rendered with good effect by Mr . Wigan . The mise en scene is deserving of all praise . The scenery , without being so gorgeous as to distract attention from the figures in the action , is beautifully painted , and inthe best taste . The play-scene , with tbe tapestried decoration , is , if we mistake not , of a novel character . The theatre was crowded in every part .

      The Queen's. This Theatre Has Been Newly...

      THE QUEEN'S . This theatre has been newly painted and decorated during a short recess , and presents au appearance of _chasteness and elegance not surpassed in any house in thc metropolis ; alterations have also been made which must greatly add to the comfort of visitors , while thc advance ef prices will make the juvenile portion more select . The winter season commenced with a domestic drama entitled The Old Mill Stream . This , like most pieces produced under this management , conveys a striking moral to the industrious classes , -warning them not to be lured from the path of virtuo by the specious promises of the " hig her _ordei-3 , " and shows the bitter misery and wretchedness awaiting the votaries of crime . The scene between the poor and rich villains Caleb Foxley , ( Mr . E . Green , ) and Everard St . Clair , ( Mr . Bedford , ) on whose acting , together with Mrs . C . Boyce , as

      the Miller ' s Daughter , the piece mainly depends , was most effective . A new fairy extrvaganza followed , entitled the Valley of Diamonds or the City of the Stars . This , as expressed in the bills , is produced on a scale of splendour utterly regardless of expense ; indeed , the seenery is of the most gorgeous and brilliant description , and nothing can surpass the grandeur and effect of the last scene . The celebrated _dansevte , Madlle Celeste Stephan , from Her Majesty ' s and the Princess' Theatre , aided by the petite Serverni , added much to its attraction , and the jaunty air and swagger of Mrs . Manders , who personated the hero , elicited rapturous applause . We shall refrain from describing the plot of either of the pieces , but advise our play-going readers to see and judge for themselves ; in thc meantime , wo congratulate the manager on the improvements effected , and hope his exertions will be amply rewarded .

      Royal Polytechnic Institution. Mr. Georg...

      ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Mr . George Barker has been engaged during the week in delivering a highly interesting and pleasing lecture at this establishment , on the Ballad Music of England . He commenced by stating he should confine himself , therefore , to a few general remarks . The cultivation of the voice had been allowed by some of the most eminent medical professors to be one of the most healthful exercises that could be taken ; indeed , the exercise of the voice was to the lungs what walking was to the body ; - it strengthened the respiratory organs in a manner most effectual . Mr . Barker then proceeded to describe the various national styles of music , such as the gushing melody of Italy ;

      the massive and grand compositions of Germany ; the light and laughter-stirring style of France ; the romantic and imaginative style of Spain ; while the bold , striking , and impressive ballads of England , Scotland , and Ireland , told of the free and generous nature of her people . The lecturer , after the conclusion of his remarks , commenced to illustrate his discourse with numerous beautiful and touchihg ballads , the following being the chief : — - " The Dream of Life , " " Mary Blane , " "The Irish Emigrant ' s Lament , " "Patri ma cushla , " and coucluded with " Shall I wasting in despair ? " We were happy to see that the great hall was completely crowded by a highly respectable andience .

      Ikish Demockacv.—The Following Resolutio...

      Ikish _Demockacv . —The following resolution was adopted unanimously by the city of London Branch of the Irish Democratic Association , on Sunday evening , and ably spoken to by Messrs . Crowe , Lynch , Nixon , ana others ; the latter named gentleman was to have delivered a lecture , but owing to the length of time occupied by the preceding speakers tne lecture was deferred till another occasion : — " That we , the Irish Democrats of the city of London , viewing the desperate struggle now taking place in our unhappy country between the people and their oppressors , call upon all true lovers of humanity to interpose , and give tbeir support tothe upholding of right against might . "

      The Labour Question . —At the usual meeting of the Trades Delegates , held on Tuesday , the 26 th of September , it was unanimously resolved : — " That a Conference of representatives of the London trades should be held early in next _November , to take into consideration the propriety of holding , in London , a general Conference of Trades Delegates from all parts ofthe United Kingdom , for the purposed deliberating upon the present condition of the producing classes , and to devise the best means of raising the social position of the industrial portion of the people . " Also resolved : — " That the secretary send reports of this meeting to the editors of tbose papers who favour the working classes by publishing the proceedings of their meetings . "

      Dr . Grange , of Geneva , who has devoted a great part of his life to the study of the causes and cure of cretinism , has "just published the result of his observations . It appears that both cretinism and wens proceed from the same cause , and that these disorders are particularly endemical in countries where the soil and waters are very rich in magnesia . Dr . Grange asserts that any person may get a wen , if such be his fancy , by drinking at springs highly impregnated with magnesia . He states iodurated kitchen-salt , used for culinary purposes for the space of a year , to be a certain cure for and preservative against the wen , without producing any other infirmity . Dr . Grange reoommends his government to distribute iodurated salt in tbose plaees where the goitre is most prevalent . He also snows from statistical accounts , that wens , - _cont-ary to universal -belief , are more frequent in flat taw U mountainous countries ,

      Mans Ion-House. -A Man In "Difficulties....

      MANS ION-HOUSE . -A Man in "Difficulties . " -A man of rather stately deportment , who said he wis a railway agent , was brought before Alderman Gibbs charged with having walked into tbe premises ' adjoining a banking-house in Lombard-street , without having any business to transact there .-The defendant , tho rapid movement or whose eyes indicated that all was not right within , had been seen looking about cautiously , in his-own opinion , but in such a manner as to excite great : caution in other people , and at last slipping in at a hall door which was most invitingly open . Ho was followed , and asked whom he wished to see _. _^ and what business he had to transact , and as his answers were

      wholly beyond the comprehension of those who addressed him , he was handed over to the care of the police , and taken to the Compter , where he seemed to be very comfortable during two or three days ' abode . —Alderman Gibbs having inquired about the unfortunate man , learned that he had been during tho railway mania one of the adventurers in ruinous speculations , and tbat his losses had in all probability touched his mind . Upon being told that the circumstances under which he was found were very suspicious , he stared , and said he was informed by somo people in the street , that somebody

      was waiting for htm inside , so in he walked . — A waiter at a coffee-house in the neighbourhood said the defendant had walked in there several times , as if ho was an old customer , and ordered dinner without having a farthing in his pockets .- — Alderman Gibbs said he feared the poor fellow was the victim of railway disappointments , and delivered him to his friends , who promised to keep him out of such dishonourable difficulties . Charge op Stabbing —ADutch Jew named Myer Levi was brought before Alderman Gibbs upon the charge of having stabbed Patrick Martin in the head with a chisel . —An old Irish dealer in

      Petticoat-lane goods had , it appeared , got tipsy on Sunday , and by way of a cure he went into a barber ' s shop to be shaved , having left his boots at the door , under the impression , as was supposed , that he was in his own bedroom . The complainant determined that his countryman should not lose his boots , took them to him , and as it was useless to endeavour to prevail upon him to put them on , tied them together and fastened them to his arm . This proceeding interfered with the desire some of the Jews had to have a lark With the Irish dealer , and they showed their disappointment by roughly handling the person who spoiled their fun . The prisoner , who had lately landed from the continent , was not , however , satisfied with simply giving the complainant a shove ,

      but thought it would add to the frolic to draw a little blood , and accordingly made an effort to bore a hole with a chisel in his head . The success of the attempt was immediate , and probably greater than was expected , for after having penetrated the skull the instrument took an oblique direction and peeled the skin off part of the nose , so that the victim looked as if a Smithfield drover had mistaken him for a strong bullock from the market . —There was nobody to say a word for the complainant , but himself and his dreadful appearance , and the policeman , while the prisoner had a host of witnesses , the first of whom was a little boy aged seven years . — Alderman Gibbs at once selected the child , and desired him to tell him what the whole business was .

      A more effectual mode of getting at the facts could not have been devised . —The boy told the ' story exactly as it had been lectured into him , so that the complainant , not only to bis own surprise , assumed the character of a most desperate aggressor , but the prisoner became an injured man incapable of retaliation . —Tbe evidence of the boy was supported by several men and women , from whom the alderman drew repeated assurances tbat the unfortunate complainant who cut such a rueful fig ure did not receive the slig htest touch himself , except what was caused by bis own fury , and that the patches and disfigurement about the head had been caused by a fall down stairs from gin a fortnight hofovfi . —Alderman Gibbs ( to the ooliceman ) : When

      you were called upon by the complainant in what condition were theso wounds ? Policeman : They were bleeding , and had no doubt been just received as he stated . —A well-dressed female , who said she was the prisoner ' s aunt , addressed the alderman . She declared that the young man was as gentle as a lamb , and that her word was better than all that had been said against him . —Alderman Gibbs : Where you present ? No . —Alderman Gibbs : Then I can tell you that the lamb was much more like a wolf on this occasion , and I fine him 30 s . or fourteen days in Bridewell with hard labour . The decision gave great satisfaction to all who did not belong to the party of the lamb . Picking Pockets . —William Lefevre , who

      appeared to be about ten years of age was brought up , charged with having attempted to pick pockets , The impudence of the prisoner was remarkable . The boy , who is of diminutive size , had been observed by a labouring man , together with two other boy ? , endeavouring to pick pockets , and appeared to be the most active of the little gang . The witness followed them foi * some time , and at last saw the prisoner dexterously slip his hand into a woman ' s pocket , but as he pulled it out empty the man merely gave him a slap on the side of the head , and told him to be off . " Off , " said the boy , squaring up to him , "do you cut away with you , or I'll knock in the whole front of your head—blest if I don't . The witness was not

      much astonished at the language , for he had seen the prisoner and his companions before ; but having _thoaghfc proper to pursue them further , and prevent them from going into a halfpenny steamer , the young fellow said , " Well , I see there s no use in talking , and I certainly will pitch into your breadbasket , old fellow , "—( laughter)—and he threw himself into position , and said he was all rig ht in pluck . As it was easy to guess what friends a young rascal of the kind would get amongst the mob , if allowed to go on at that rate , the witness gave him into custody . —Alderman Gibbs : What have you to say , prisoner ? Prisoner : I was only playing about with other boys when the man who isn't a policeman came up and threatened us . I told him I was able to fight him , and he wouldn't have me . That ' s all . Remanded . GUILDHALL . —The Charge of Fraud against

      a Policeman . —Thomas Wilkins , a constable in the D division of Metropolitan police , was brought up in the custody of Inspector Collin Grant for final examination , on the charge of defrauding the Treasurer of Middlesex of 3 s . Gd . ; also with defrauding Elizabeth Collins ofa like amount . —Alderman Sidney said that there could be no doubt remaining but that prisoner had misappropriated the sum of 3 s . 6 d ., and by so doing was guilty , under the Police Act , ofa breach of his duty as a police-constable , and consequently liable to be fined accordingly . It was a very painful duty for him to have to adjudicate in such a case , particularly as his decision would certainly have the effect of blasting all his future prospects in life . However , the case was of such a nature as to require a strict investigation , which had been made , and tho result proved that prisoner was at fault . He would therefore fu _. e him £ 5 , or one month ' s imprisonment in tho House of Correction .

      BOW-STREET . —A Drunken Count . —Count de Witt , late secretary to the Duke of Brunswick , was placed at the bar before Mr . Jardine , charged under the following circumstances . The prisoner , upon being placed at the bar , violently demanded that , as he was not Englishman enough to defend himself in a court of justice , the case should be postponed until such time as bis legal adviser should be present . —Inspector Wilkinson remarked that the case required no postponement , as it was merely a charge of drunkenness and creating a disturbance . — Tho Prisoner : Cannot my word be taken in preference to an inspector's ? Mr . Jardine : I cannot see why it should . —Inspector Wilkinson then stated that , on Monday evening , the prisoner came to the

      station-house door intoxicated , and created a great disturbance . He went out to him no less than four times , and begged of him to go away . At last he went a few paces from the door , and witness thinking he had gone home returned to his room , In a very few minutes , the prisoner returned , and , bounoing through * the passage , again presented himself before witness , and created a still greater disturbance than before . He was ultimately placed in a , cell , at the door of whicb he knocked and kicked so violently , that it waB feared he would break it . His conduct was violent in the extreme . — The prisoner complained about an inspector daring to lock him up , and in a cell in which felons were placed . —He was fined 10 s ., which was immediately paid .

      MARLBOROUGH-STREET . —Conviction of an Impostor . —A miserable-looking Italian , who professed to be deaf and dumb , and who has for many years been preying upon the benevolent portion of the public , was charged with begging in the publio streets . —Colley , one of the Mendicity constables , stated that about half-past eight on Monday night he was proceeding along Oxford-street , when his attention was called to the prisoner , whom he bad known for the last nine years as a notorious impostor , pretending to bo deaf and dumb , and grinding _ferooiously at a kind of hurdy-gurdy , the tones of which were anything but musical . Witness , having seen the prisoner receive several pence , took him into custody . The constable added that two years

      ago be took the prisoner before Mr . Coombe _, at Clerkenweil Police Court , for a similar offence , when he promised in right good Italian to return to hia native country . He did bo , and purchased a farm for £ 100 , which sum ho had made , in this country by begging . The prisoner- remained upon his farm till about nine months ago , when he returned to this country , and immediately resorted to his old way of raising the wind . Witness had heard from good authority that while the prisoner was pursuing bis calling here a relative was looking after the farm in' Italy . —Mr . Hardwick said it was shameful that such persons should be admitted into the country , and he should send him to prison for a mon th a % % _w-ttuing to others of his olass .

      Mans Ion-House. -A Man In "Difficulties....

      The Bettino-ofwce Nuisance . — Wm . William was charged with having paraded a large double placard before the house of Mr . John Osborn , cigar dealer , No . 9 , New Bond-street . The placard was exhibited in court . It had upon it in largo letters , " Caution to the Public—Captain Bell , of No . 9 , New Bond _* _street , has not paid on the Liverpool Cup . " —Mr . Osborn said Capt . Bell kept a bettinglist at his shop , which list was managed by Capt . Bell himself and a clerk . On Monday night a crowd of nearly one hundred persons assembled before his shop , threatening to destroy everything in it . They were collected by the conduct of about ten or a dozen persons who first made their appearance . The police were sent for , and the disorderly . ~ '• • • Z _m . y TrrMi : ___

      persons disappeared . At night large placards were posted on the shutter of the shop similar to the one carried by the defendant . The defendant came with the placards now in his possession , and by walking backwards and forwards in front ofthe shop caused a crowd to assemble . Complainant sent for a constable and gave him into custody . The complainant here entered into a statement of the Liverpool Cup betting of Capt . Bell , asserting that all tho bets had been paid except one of twenty to one , laid twice , to Mr . Dawson , of the Yorkshire Grey , who , however , had received £ 22 on account , and would have received the whole of his bet , had he not been the means of _presenting Capt , Bell from receiving a bet Of £ 25 , which he had won from a

      person named _Haspall , in Old Broad-street . He wished to know whether the defendant was at liberty to walk about with the placards now in court . —Mr . Hardwick said it was quite clear the defendant could not be permitted to walk about the streets with large placards like those he carried , for even supposing the words on them had no significance , the placards would of themselves cause a nuisance and an obstruction . But when the language on the placards was of a description to create a mob , and to lead to a breach of the peace , it was impossible to permit such proceedings in the public street . With respect to betting offices , he considered they were a great public nuisance . After a suitable _reprimand and caution the defendant was discharged .

      EXTKADITION OF FOREIGNERS TROM FRANCE . — Alexander Minginoria , a Pole , in the uniform of a French soldier , was brought to this court , charged with having begged at various shops in the Haymarket . After a short conversation in French with the defendant , Mr . Hardwick directed an officer to make a communication to the Secretary of the Polish Refugee Society . —The Secretary came to the court , and bad a conversation with the defendant . The secretary then ( addressing Mr . Hardwick ) said that the defendant was a stranger to him and the Polish Society . From the defendant he had gleaned some particulars of his history , and an explanation of the causes that had brought him to England . The defendant had fought against Russia in 1834 ,

      and for this he bad been exiled . He went to France , entered the service , and was sent to Algeria . In that colony he had spent the best years of his life , and when he returned to France the revolution occurred , and a republic had been established . The French government had come to the resolution to expel foreigners from the country . Accordingly he was peremptorily required to quit the eountry of his adoption , and for which he had fought so many years . A free pass and a free passage were provided for him , and he was landed on the shores of England without a sixpence . . The secretary said he could corroborate one portion of tbe defendant's story as far as the extradition of Poles from France was concerned . Within a very few months he could prove that two hundred destitute Poles had been driven from France by the French republic , and

      had been landed penniless on the shores ot _England . It was monstrous such a bj * sf em should be permitted He believed the fact had been communicated to Lord Palmerston , but he was not aware whether any steps had been taken to cheek the evil . —Mr . Hardwick concurred in condemning a proceeding that had the effect of driving these poor foreigners from a country on which they had some claim to a country on which tbey had no claim whatever . — The secretary said the public grant for the relief of the distressed Poles had ceased , the English nation having naturally become tired of giving alms to the refugees . There was , however , £ 1 , 200 subscribed privately for the relief of the Poles , and out ofthis fund a passage to America would be furnished to the defendant . —Mr . Hardwick gave 5 s . for the temporary relief of the defendant .

      WOESHIP-STREET . —An Impudent Thikf . — John Murphy , a pianoforte key-maker , a man of very respectable appearance and connections , was charged with stealing a gold watch , a silver ditto , and a large quantity of plate , the property of Mr . S . Dixon , press-maker , No . 12 , Great Charles-street , Hoxton , under the following circumstances , on the 28 th of May , 1841 . —Mary Anne Mackreli stated , that ou the 2 Sth of May she was in the service of Mr . Dixon . It was on a Sunday , about half-past seven o clock , when the family were at church that the prisoner called . He gave a double knock at the door , which was answered by witness , who was the only person in the house . Witness found the prisoner at the door , in company with another man .

      He had a carpet bag in his hand . When witness opened the door tho prisoner gave the man a piece of paper , and directed him to go back and pay for his luggage . He then inquired of witness if Mrs . Dixon was at home ? She replied that she was not . He next asked how long the family would be away . She stated about _half-an-hour . He said that he would wait , and he walked into the parlour , observing that he wished he had been in time to have taken tea with the family . She left him in the parlour for a few minutes , when he asked for a glass of water , after whioh he stated that he wanted to wash his hands . She showed him to her mistress ' s room for that purpose , where she left him . In a short time he camo down , when he called her up from the kitchen and inquired what church the family had gone to . She informed him , upon which he said he would go and meet them , but would first take a

      glass of ale . If he did not meet them he would return . He then went away , leaving his carpet bag , on which was the name of Jarvis . When her master came home she told him that Mr . Jarvis had called upon him . —Mr . Dixon said that the prisoner was unknown to him . On his return home he missed the gold and silver watches , with the other articles . He examined the carpet bag , in which were some hay , a brick , and . a gown . —Policeman Mason , 100 S , produced a gold watch , which he found in the possession of the prisoner ' s sister , who lives in Augusta-square , Regent ' s-park . ( Mr . Dixon identified the watch . ) He had known the prisoner many years . —Policeman 180 said he apprehended the prisoner the previous evening , near his lodgings in Amwell-street . Witness told him he was charged with stealing a watch . He replied what watch . He was identified at Hoxton-street station house , being at the time with four other persons .

      Jumping on to a Railway Train . —George Ball , a person connected with sporting affairs , was charged before Mr . Arnold with having attempted to jump into a \ railway carriage attached to a train , while it was in motion , by which he was liable to a penalty of 40 s . —It appeared from the evidence that about six o ' clock on Monday morning , just as the down train to Newmarket , by the Eastern Counties Railway was starting from Shoreditch station , the _delendant arrived on the platform , stating that he wanted to go by the train . It had started at the time , when he was informed by Mr . Gardner ,

      the inspector , that he must stop . He observed that it would be a loss to him of £ 100 if he did not go down by that train . He then gave a leap into a third olass carriage , just as the train had reached the turn-table . The defendant was in the most imminent danger . He was balancing on the door , and by the least jerk be would have been thrown off . Mr . Gardner called upon the driver of the engine to stop the train , which was" promptly done , upon which tho defendant was given into custody . — Tho defendant was fined in tbe mitigated penalty of 10 s .

      CLERKENWELL . — Assauit on Jenny Lind . — John Newell , an athletic Irish labourer , was placed at the bar before Mr . Combe , charged with having jiolently assaulted Jenny Lind ( not the Swedish Nightingale . )—It appeared from the evidence ofthe prosecutrix that on Monday night , at a quarter pasteloven o ' clock , she was walking in Golden-lane , St . Luke ' s , when the prisoner followed her , and requested her to accompany him . She refused , when he knocked her down , and while she was on the ground he swore and kicked her about the head and body in a violent manner , and injured her severely . She exhibited severe injuries , and her head was covered with adhesive , plaster . —Mr . Combe : Your name is Jenny Lind ?—Witness ( affecting great modesty ) : It is , your worship—Mr . Combe : Pray , what are you ?—Witness ( looking down ) : I am married , your worship . —Mr . Combe :

      Were you sober , Jenny ?—Yes , as sober as a judge . I was never drunk in aU my life .- —The fact was that Jenny was not perfectly sober when she entered the witness-box , and her general appearance was most dissipated . —Sergeant Sranden , II G , said , when Jenny was at the station-house , he , witness , called on her husband , who said he had been at home all nignt waiting for his " beloved " Jenny _, who did not return . He ( witness ) told him she had been making a charge at the station-house . Her husband said , *• Ah ; I suppose she has been out goiting drunk aa usual . "—The prisoner , in his defence , said he had taken a " dhrap , " and on going towards his home he was accosted by the prosecutrix , and . wishing to have nothing to say to her he pushed her off , and she fell against the kerbstone and cut her head . —Mr . Combe fined him 20 s or fourteen days' imprisonment . " '

Elliot , on a charge of attempting to strangle her husband . From the statement of Mr .

      moment or two longer , no human skill could have restored him to : animation . As it was , it was with the utmost difficulty that the medical man called in restored him to consciousness , and as a proof of-the narrowness of his escape he still remains in an exceedingly weak and feeble state . The prisoner had been remanded , in order to have the testimony of the medical gentleman and other witnesses taken preparatory to her committal for trial , but ; one or two of those witnesses being still absent the prisoner was again remanded . AsSAUW on the Police . —James Cannon , a chimney-sweep , 3 powerful built fellow , was charged with violently assaulting no less than five different policemenwhile the latter were

      endea-, vouring to secure him . The prisoner is one of the most desperate ruffians that the whole metropolis could produce ; in proof of which it need onl y be stated thatthe present is the eighteenth time that he has heen brought , to this court for outrages of the most ruffianly description , and on the last occasion he was sent for trial , and sentenced to one year ' s imprisonment . He has maimed two or three policemen for life , and on the present occasion be assaulted no less than five of them in a most ruffianly manner , his chief aim appearing to be to kick them in a delicate part of their person , where the slightest injury might be attended with the most serious results . The prisoner , when asked what he had to say

      to the charge against hira , in a gruff and surly voice replied , "I was drunk , and don ' recollect anything about it . " He was sentenced to five months' imprisonment ; that is , one month for each assault . v _: SOUTHWARK . —Assaulting a Lectureb . —Two young men , named Wainwright and Butler , were charged with assaulting William Townsend , at a meeting held in the Temperance Hall , Fair-street , Bermondsey . —The complainant stated that while engaged in delivering a lecture on the " Social , Moral , Political , and Religious Condition of the Working Classes , " at the above hall , several persons entered , and amongst them the defendants , who , it was evident , had come there for no other purpose than that of exciting a disturbance . They ( the defendants ) made discordant noises , and endeavoured to drown his voice , and soon after a

      quantity of red ochre was thrown from tbe spot where the defendants stood over complainant , whose person was literally covered with the substance , but whether it was done by them or their associates , he could not describe . At all events , the defendants were conspicuous in the transactions ofthe evening , and one of them ( Wainwright ) , subsequent to the termination of the lecture , and when complainant was proceeding home in a cab , dung a large paper bag of flour into the vehicle , and not only covered him with it , but also some of his friends , who were with him at the time . —The defendants denied that they took any part in the transactions of the evening ; but the magistrate decided otherwise , and inflicted a fine of 5 s . on Wainwright , and adjudged him to enter into his recognisances to keep the peace . The other defendant was also bound in his own recognisances .

      Cowardly Assault . —J . Williams , who described himself as a wool-broker , was charged with committing a violent assault on Mr . John Northage _, under the following circumstances : —The complainant , an aged man , who exhibited injuries of a severe nature about tbe face , stated that he had recently come to London on business connected with the preservation of life from shipwreck , and having dined with some Ofthe patrons of his invention , he admitted having exceeded tbe bounds of moderation on the occasion . When he left the tavern where they dined , and got out Into the fresh air , the wine he had drunk operated still more powerfully upon him , and the result was he was taken to the station-house at the rear of this court . He , however , had not been long

      locked up when the defendant , a tall athletic man , made an attack upon him without the slightest provocation , knocked him down , and after wards jumped upon his _broast , and injured him so severely , that ho bas been spitting bleod ever since , He called out for help under the supposition that his assailant wanted to murder him , and he really believed that it was his intention to put an end to his existence if assistance had not-been rendered . —It was here explained that the defendant had been taken into custody in High-street for attacking another man in the street , whom he knocked down twice , and , as in the former case , he had received no provocation

      to justify such outrageous conduct . —The defendant asserted that ho was first assaulted in tho cell by the complainant , and admitted having retaliated upon him on that account . —This assertion , however , was contradicted by a man who was locked up in the same cell . —Mr . A'Beckett said the defendant had disgraced himself by such an unprovoked attack upon a man like tbe complainant , who did not possess half his strength , and who was so much his senior in point of years . The magistrate then inflicted two penalties of £ 3 each on the defendant , and in default of payment committed him for three months .

      HAMMERSMITH . —Caution to Omnibus Conductors . —George Withers , conductor of one of Messrs . Johnson ' s Walham Grten omnibuses , No . 7 , 152 , badge No . 390 , was summoned before Mr .

Halswell stated that on the afternoon of Sunday , the loth ult ., he got into the omnibus of which the defendant was the conductor , between four and five o ' clock , in the Old Bromptonroad , and on reaching the Bell and Horns the omnibus pulled up , and stopped for about four or fire minutes . There were at that time in the omnibus , besides witness , some ladies and a gentleman . Witness put down one of the windows on the off side , and asked the defendant , who was standing on the pavement by the

      horses , what they were staying for ? Defendant , with a grin , said he could tell him if he choosed . He repeated the question a second and third time , when the defendant said , ' Well , if you will know it , the coachman has been te the urinal ; now you ' ve got it . " The ladies were all shocked . The driver then got on the box , and drove on towards town . In Piccadilly the driver commenced racing with a Chelsea omnibus up the hill as hard as he could , and the defendant put his head in at the door window , and said to witness , " Will that pace suit you ? " And on reaching Charing-cross _, where witness got out , the defendant hallooed after him just the same as if he was a person who had committed some offence , —Mr . Gregory Wordsworth Turner confirmed this evidence . —Mr . Beadon imposed a line of twenty shillings , and two shillings costs , or fourteen days' imprisonment . The fine and costs were paid .

      WANDSWORTH . —Infanticide . —Ellen Middlechi p , 18 , a daughter of a laundress , living at 34 , Union-street , Union-road , Clapham , was brought down from Horsemonger-lane Gaol , and placed on a chair in front of the dock , in consequence of her extreme weakness , and charged before Mr .

      Attack On The King's Bench Prison During...

      Attack on the King ' s Bench Prison during the Riots of London . —At the gate of the prison two sentinels were placed , One of these was a finebuilt young man , full six feet high ; he had been servant to my father . On the day Allen was shot , or a day or two after , he came to my father for protection ; my father , having a high opinion of his veraoity and moral goodness , took him in and sheltered him until quiet was restored . His name was M Phin , or some such name ; but as he was always called " Mao" by us , I do not remember his name perfectly . He stated that he and his _fellowspldier _, while standing as sentries at the prison , were attacked by an uproarious mob , and were assailed with stones and brickbats : that his

      companion called loudly to the mob , and said , " I will not fire until I see and mark a man that throws at us , and then he shall die ; I don't want to kill the innocent , or any one , but he that flings at us shall surely die . " Young Allen threw a briok-bat , and ran off ; but Mao said his fellow-soldier had seen it , and marked him . The crowd gave way ; off went Allen , and the soldier after him . Young Allen ran on , the soldier pursuing him , till he entered his father ' s premises , who was a cowkeeper , and there the soldier shot hira . Popular fury turned upon poor Mac ; and so completely was he thought to be tho " murderer" of young Allen , that £ 500 was

      _onered by the moo ior nis aiseovery . U \ xt my good father was faithful to honest Mao , and he lay secure in one of our upper rooms until the excitement was over . Allen ' s funeral was attended by myriads and a monument was erected to his memory ( which vet remains . I believe , ) in _Newington-cHurchya rd speaking lies in the face of the sun .
