      Mr T Brow J" _5 a _* d > the ? h ! ul mel t 0 celcbrate ! . _-inn _* - ' e-- ' li v of tho Polish _Revolusio .. —a revolution that had rot y « _boen carried into t * tt having he"a baffled for a tune , by the combined enorts o _, -ill their _aristocratic oppressors . In Poland , as in E _> ii * ia » d , the- aristocratic party wished to make to ' oU of the fDeinocrats , for their own --elfish purposes . Prince _Czartoryski had agcuts in England , France , and Germany 5 but Russia was more _particularly the centre of his ium « ues . His object was , not to serve the cause of the people , but 10 obtain tiie throne of Poland for himself . He had ii on the authority of ninety Poles—men of strict _integrity—that Lord Dudley Stuart was his agent in _England . Ho had received _larse sums from the

      people , in addition to grants from government , which he distributed among those favourable to ihe schemes of _Czarioryski , and refused to give assistance to the veritable D ? mocrat- ? , unless they con--sentsd to so to America , Thoannualball at Guildhall < renerallv produced £ 300 or £ 900 , not a farthing of ¦ which was Hiven to those most in need of it . Lord Dudley Stua tsnid in his speech , that the money went to those who were sick and distressed . Two of the Poles who were sick had applied to him , and he was credib ' y informed that his answer was , 'They had better £ 0 to the workhouse . " He had said thathe had £ 1 , 200 t > pay their passage , and give them , if they would emigrate to America ; hut ther noblv declined _doinsrso . Sendinjr them to

      America was hue tending them out of the world . He trusted their subscriptions would not cease until the period , aud it would not be long , when the ser-- _rices of these mea would be a " . tin needed ill the battle-field . _Two of fie refugees had been _pericaied io embark for Denmark . They did so ; and , when they arrived , they were arrested _iind thrown into prison . Fifteen or twenty received free pardons from the Russian _government , and were induced to return to iheT homes ; they did so , and were now suffering for their credulity , by being exiled to Siberia . These flings looked suspicious . Mr . Williams , the member for Lambeth , told them tint he could have

      raised £ 1 , 000 for these men , hut was prevented hy _Codhen and Stuart ; aud Mr . AVilliams believe J , that their sole object in wislrng them to go to America ¦ was the fear that they would aid the democratic cause in this country . Thc Committee had been nnaldeto allow the _refugees more than 4 d . a day for their support * he trusted they would soon be _enabl-d to do better for them—they were truly _deserrms of it . A democratic history of tho times would jot 1 ) 9 written , and all honour would heeiven io the working men of London , more particularly io the shoemakers , for their support . All working men , of whatever clime , were brethren , and bound , in duty and in self-defence , to treat each other as such . ( Loud cheers . )

      M . _JRartuelemt , a French refugee , condemned in June , 1843 , addressed the meeting in the French language , and in an _c'oftuont manner demonstrated the necessity of all democrats being united to cenbat their common enemy of _Nature ' s children . This speech , of which the above is a brief translation , was rapturously applauded . Carl _Swapper , whose exertions in the cause of freedom in Germany are so well known , briefly addressed his countrymen in the German tongue . He then said in English , that some few years back the ¦ _Rorkin _? men of England looked with contempt upon foreigners—they were tanght to consider them as _thsir enemies , bnt such had been the spread of intelligence , that thepenccof the workingmen were now doing more for the support for the Polish Exiles than the boasted exertions of Lord Dudley

      Stuart and his aristocratic friends . The same progression was now to be seen in all other countries . Formerly , the people of each country were opposed to , and were led to thirst for , the blood of those of an adjoining _kingdom . Until the last revolution , the German people had been opposed to the success of the Poles . Now the working men of most European countries were endeavouring to form an alliance with each other this , if carried into effect , "would soon dissipate all petty jealousies , and make one universal republic throughout the world . ( Loud cheers . ) Let them , then , give all honour to those "who hid b ' cd ani died in farthering this great end , and to the thousands who were yet suffering in prison and in exile in behalf of the great truths of progression , and the universality of brotherhood . ( Loud cheers . ) j

      Messrs . _GnoszECEr , Frvsztsski and IiisECEi , in energetic speeches , recommended union . About nine o clock dancing commenced , and was iept up with great spirit until an early hour . Among the guests present we noticed Colonel franty Freundt _. Mr . Fleming , andotherwell-known English and continental advocates of freedom . Mr . O _Conxob sent a special messenger to apologise for his absence , occasioned by an unforseen event . A modicum of bread and salt was conveyed to him by the messenger , in token of their hospitality and friendship . Admission to the dinner , and the after proceedings was entirely free , no

      collection whatever being made . These gallant men have , during their residence in London , out of the threepence or fourpence per day which they have received , laid by a halfpenny per day as a sacred fund to commemorate this anniversary , and to 1 ) 2 enabled , for at least one day , to return the hospitality and kindness which for so long a period they had received from their English brethren . Buring the evening the police on six different occasions came into the room , but on being remonstrated witb , and informed thatit was not a public meeting , but that admission wag only by ticket , they were induced to retire .

      The Hungarian And Polish Kef Ogees. "We ...

      THE HUNGARIAN AND POLISH KEF OGEES . "We have received a very lengthy document from the Refugees resident in Turnmillg treet _, in continuation of the article written last week , signed Tannolinski and Breanski , and also a reply to that article from Mr . Davis and the English Committee . These two documents would nearly occupy a page of the " Star " if printed in full , and it must be evident , thatit is quite impossible for us to afford so much space to a question , which , however exciting and important to those personally interested in it , cannot be supposed to

      possess any attraction to the general reader . We regret also to observe , that both communications are pervaded b y very strong pergonal feeling , and believe that we should 1 » est consult the interests -which both partieB profess to be desirous of serving , by stating as concisely and dispassionately as possible , tbe facts we leam from these communications . Mr . Breanski and his friends look npon Mr . Bartochowski as the friend of the Secretary to the Literary Association presided over by Lord Dudley Stuart . They regard that nobleman as the friend and agent of Prince

      _Cyastoraki , whose object they allege is to establish a kingdom for himself in Poland , not to make it a free nation . They are opposed to that policy , and determined never , to rest Satisfied until not onl y their own country , but thesmallestplaceinEurope , enjoys a thorough democratic constitution . They accuse the first English Committee of being under the influence of Mr . Bartochowski and his party . They comp lain of one oftheir members having heen treated as though he were dishonest , though there was no charge against him . They state that there was division in that _^ Committee , that it at length deserted them , though looked npon b y the English Democrats and the Refugees as a mediator between

      them , because ths Refugees would not allow it to interfere with their political affairs . It is -farther stated that npon the Committee leaving Turnmill-street , the Refugees Brought their complaints beforo the Metropolitan Shoemakers' Trades Committee , representing a _lart-e body of working men , by whom they had been su pported _thrse and four days every week . There they found true friends in distress , and a public meeting was announced by several papers , and published by bills , to be . held the llth of Nov ., 8 t 41 , TurnmUI-itreet , _derkenwell-green . First - To make the subscribers judg e between the h > - fagecs and their Provisional Committee . Second ,-To elect , if tLe case , a permanent one . _ Subscribers and Refugees _^? bl 'i w "Sift the _commitue members were authorised t « j" - " ? _Seactioas . of their body ., The Refugees brought thoir

      charges r _ , eforc the public , and then proposed men whom - _^ _hey iiad , during seven months' experience , marv occasions to recognise as meu in whom their e _fitire confidence could be placed . Ten days afterwards , the disssolved Committee held a pu blic meeting at the British Institution in Cowper-street , and instead of allowing the fifty-six protesting Refugees to bring their charges before the public , they opened the meeting , and occupied the time , from eight till a quarter past eleven o ' clock , with defences against charges of dishonesty , which had never been made by the Refugees . The _Coiinnittce-room , in Cowper-street , let fov that night like the Lecture Halt to the dissolved Committee , was filled with more than twenty-four policemen , who were treated with beer and tobacco during thc evening . Thc public at twelve o ' clock , approved by loud applause the protesting _Uefusces . and the meeting broke up . _ , , . _^

      If the fifteen who still stop witli the dissolved Committee will it-turn to their exiled brethren , thoy will be received with open arm *' . ' At the same time , the fifty-six _Refurrees protest _a-rnius _* -, anv subscriptions or funds _rising , whicli shall be made by the _dischniyod _Conmiiltl'O ill tilC name of the " Hungarian and Polish Refugees , ' " and invite respectfully their benefactors to visit them at 41 . Turnmill-street , Clerkcnvell-grecn , — the Fraternal Home-where , living on 4 d . per day , colonel and officer are thc servants of the soldier , and vice versa . Yarsiolixski . _Erean-ski . On the other side , Jlr . Davis , and the members of the Committee , thus protested against , and who hold their meetings at 20 , Golden Lane , Barbican , state that

      The first body of Poles that arrived in London were about fifty in number , of whicb twenty went to America ; _tf ic rest lived in a miserahlc and starving condition in lodging houses , in Bucklestreet , Whitechapel , where they were accidentally found , and introduced to the Crown and Anchor locality , and the various localities in the Tower Hamlets , by whom they were supported ( in _conjunction with about thirty other Poles , tbat arrived at a later period from Southampton , ) until the beginning of June , when a committeo was formed to call on the public for subscriptions , and a sub-committee was formed ofthe three following Polish Democrats : Captain Rolls , Bartochowski , Colonel Oberski _, and Captain Przezdzreeki , as true

      an I honest democrats ; and these gentlemen wero elected unanimously by the Poles themselves , to distribute the funds collected . About three months afterwards , however , they protested against that committeo , and it was dissolved , though the specified charge against them was abandoned . Mr . _Bnrtocliowski then produced his books in Polish , with a copy in English , before the committee and the Poles . They were asked if they had anything to say against the accounts . Tifey answered they were perfectly satisfied . How is it that they did not say a word from September until the 10 th November , and tben , instead of making their accusations in the democratic press , tbey senfcit to

      the Sun newspapers . After the retirement of those three gentlemen the English committee was requested to distribute the funds themselves , which duty they performed until Sunday the 3 rd "November , when a Pole , named Foiklender , applied for assistance , against which the Poles pro ' _este j , accusing him of being a spy ; but tho committee followed the old maxim— " Call no man guilty until proved to be so" — voted him e ' ghteenpence , to keep him from starving , until ah investigation took place . Tho Poles admitting the decision of the committee to have been wrong , instead of being quiet until the following "Wednesday , and then proved the truth of their accusation , they all tet upon him , iliused him , and turned him out .

      The Committee , at length , felt they could no longer conduct their business independentl y in _Tunimill-street , and left it , the resolution to do so having been carried b y a majority of twenty-four to three . They state , however , that the minority remained , and called themselves the Committee j they state that , at the Cowper-street meeting , the Poles attended for the purpose of assaulting M . Bartochowski , and that they used very "base" language upon that occasion . The Committee thought of returniug , but atthe same time , felt it their duty to submit a balance sheet to the public . It was accepted and passed , and they received a document signed by twenty-six Poles , expressin g their sorrow at the conduct of their brethren , and requesting the committee to continue their exertions .

      The whole of those men having been actually engaged under the glorious Kossuth , Bern , and Guzon _, in from ten to twenty battles . These are the men denounced as aristocrats , who have received but little assistance from the committee , for they have embraced every opportunity to maintain themselves by learning slipper making , tailoring , and various other mean 3 , but in consequence "bf the slackness are now out of _employ Still , when applying to the committee for assistance , they will not receive more than sixpence a day , out of which they have to pay threepence per night for their lodgings . It is on behalf of those men that the committee appeal to the public for support , and

      hope that you will receive subscriptions for them . " The document concludes b y allegations against the character of an individual , which we could not publish without infringing the law of libel , and which , if published , could not in any way benefit the two parties of refugees , who are equally dependent on public support . It is quite clear that there is a divided difference on matters of principle between the two bodies , and be must beg to decline , in future , the insertion of any controversial letters on the subject ; while we shall , at all times , be happy to give every assistance in our power to promote the welfare of both .

      The Refugees And The '-Leader." To The E...

      THE REFUGEES AND THE ' -LEADER . " TO THE EDITOR OV THE KOMnERN STAR . Sm , —Two sentences which occur in the letter of Mr . Brown , ent _tled the " Refugees , " in last week ' s Star , seem to require a short explanation . With respect to monies received by the Leader for the Refugees , Mr . Brown says . " Mr . Holyoake has been asked to take Mr . Rider ' s place , which has been refused . " What does Mr . Brown mean ? "No such request has been made to me . Mr . Brown says , " frequent applications have been made tothe Leader office for money , when tho men have been without food , and refused . " The money paid at the Leader office—permit me to explain—were intrusted to them in consequence of the appeal of Captain itola Bartochowski , whose appeal was inserted because they knew him to be a man of

      honour , and to possess the confidence of the Central Committee , whose decision on Polish affairs is entitled to be final . Therefore the office declined to pay the subscriptions to a party unknown to them , feeling bound to transfer the money to the hands of Captain Rola , who was joined by Mr . Arnott , ofthe Chartist Executive , in _demanding it , and their names are a guarantee that the Leader office has respected the confidence reposed in it , in the payment of subscriptions . Perhaps Mr . Brown is not aware that I have used all the influence I possessed to bring about an union between the two parties , into which the Poles are unhappily divided ; and they who write letters which fan the discord now among them , will arrest public sympathy altogether , disincline any Newspaper-office to meddle in the matter , and thus sacrifice botb parties together . I am , Sir , yours respectfully , Geo . Jacob Holtoake . London , Dec . 2 , 1850 .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sin , —Seeing my name in the letters of Messrs . Brown and Holyoake in this day ' s Star , I beg to st . \ te that I have nothing whatever to do with any existing differences . My other duties prevent me from attending the meetings ofthe committee , and whether Mr . Holyoake has been , or has not been solicited to take my place I know not , yet some one ought to be elected instead of myself . I pledge my every exertion to aid the Refugees , though I cannot act on a committee , nor do I desire to be a party in any dissensious . W . Rider .

      Address Of The Metropolitan Trades' Comm...

      ADDRESS OF THE METROPOLITAN TRADES ' COMMITTEE TO THEIR BROTHER UNIONISTS ON BEHALF OF THE POLISH REFUGEES . There is not a record in the history of nations , when the grand subject of political and social ri ghts so much required your sympathy and support as on the present occasion ; when so many brave and noble men , who have been exiled from their country , family , and _connexiong , through the combined influence of despotism , tyranny , and treachery , to seek shelter amongst us , and shall we not , as men meeting for a philanthropic purpose , hold forth to them the hand of brotherhood and fraternity ? Certainly we should ; and it is through that claim that we now call upon you to assist this Committee in carrying out this object , viz ., the support ofthe Polish Refugees now in this country .

      Any further comment on the merits of their cause would , we think , be superflaous ; suffice it to say , that all our exertions have only enabled us to supply these unfortunate men with the scanty pittance of fourpence , and sometimes threepence per _SfJn ' _^ ' feIJo _workmen , we appeal to you as men as fathers , and as brothers in fraternity , to give your hearty _respond to this appeal . 7 ' AU communications , or money tS be sent ( post

      Land And Cottages For Teeiotalers. Mr. E...

      LAND AND COTTAGES FOR TEEIOTALERS . Mr . Editor , —Tho omission of the words : " a two-roomed cottage , with two acres , witltin 200 yards , at £ S per annum , " . m tlie advertisement nnder the above title , in your paper of the _2-jrd November , has not only rendered it useless , but has brought upon me very severe censures from some of your " constant readers , " on account of the supposed great increase of rent on this estate . Permit me , iherefore , to explain the grave error in which they have fallen . The rents on this estate are now the same as they have been for the last two years , at which rates they have' always found ready customers , viz ., £ 2 per acre for the land , and £ 4 for a two-roomed cottage .

      Indeed , there would be neither land nor dwelling to be had here , were it not that an old tenant of a two-roomed cottage in the building field , and a two acre allotment in the farm fields is about to remove , and 1 am instructed to till up the vacancy ( with none but a pi . euged teetotaller , ) at £ 8 per annum rent . The seemingly disproportionate rent ( £ 14 ) o the advertised two acre tenement , arises from the circumstance that the cottage ( which by tbe bye is not quite finished ) is a three-roomed one ; that it fronts the highway ; thai it has a magnificent well , and

      that thc two acres are attached to it , and have a valuable building frontage , and are therefore to be let at M per acre , which is its real value ; t wo acres much further back having been sold for £ lG 0 . Now , Mr . Editor , I hold the doctrine that in commercial transactions a thing is worth what it will fetch , ( and I know that the owner will not accept less tban £ 14 a-year for this lot , ) therefore , I would wish that none of your " constant readers , ' should abuse an "advertiser , " particularly when they admit that they have no knowledge of the advertised property . Respectfnliy yours ,

      National Charter League. On Sunday Eveni...

      _NATIONAL CHARTER LEAGUE . On Sunday evening last there was a considerable muster of members and friends afc the room of thc society , Talfourd's Temperance Hotel , Farringdoiistrcct , to hear a lecture from Mr . P . M ' Grath , on the subject of " Cardinal Wiseman ' s Appeal to the British People . " Mr . Allnutt in the chair . Mr . M'Grath argued most ably and elaborately to prove , that tbe Cardinal had mado out his case , and at the conclusion of his address warned his hearers against being led astray from the main

      question of Church and State dominion by claptrap about the Popeof Rome ; a cry of "No Popery , ' as he said , having been raised by the members of the Anglican Church , for the purpose of conserving the vested interest in tithes and good living . A discussion arose , in which the views of the lecturer were disputed and uphold by Messrs . Rendell , Clark , Side , Nobbs , and Dairy mplo . At the conclusion , the chairman announced , thai on tho following Sunday evening a lecture would be delivered by Mr . T . Clark " on the spirit and philosophy of Chartism . Business to commence at seven o clock .

      Tiie Glazier's Strike At The Crystal Pal...

      TIIE GLAZIER ' S STRIKE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE . A number of journeymen glaziers applied to Mr . Hardwick at the Marlborough-street Police-office , on Saturday last , under those circumstances ;—They had been taken on to work at tho Crystal Palace on Thursday last , and had been " knocked off" work at a moment's notice the next morning , without , however , being discharged . They attended at the works , having been told by tho sub-contractor , or overlooker , to wail : and tbey had waited nearly all Friday and that day . When they were called to Jbfe paid , 2 s . 7 d . only was given to thorn , which amounted to the price of tho work actually done , although they had been engaged by the day , and were entitled to receive day-work payment . Thoir claim was for two days' work at 4 s . a-day ,

      and they wished to know how they were to enforce it ?—Mr . Hardwick said the question was one with which a magistrate had nothing to do ; the applicants , if they had any substantial claim against the contractors , must apply to the County Court . The Charge of Intimidation . —On Monday , at Marlborough _^ strGGt , Mr . Bingham proceeded to give bis judgment on the evidence brought before him in support of a charge against William St . Clair , of having attempted by intimidation to obtain a higher rate of wages for the workmen from Messrs . Fox and Henderson , the contractors for the Exhibition of Industry . —Mr . Bingham said * . On Monday week the defendant , accompanied hy and at the head of nearly fifty workmen who had quitted

      their employment , accosted the contractor for the works in Hyde-park with words and a gesture , which , even according to the account given by the defendant and his witnesses , amounted to a breach ofthe peace . For this breach of the peace he was immediately given into custody , and brought before the magistrate . Upon the hearing he was remanded till the next day , when the prosecutor , in addition to his complaint touching the breach of peace committed in Hyde-park , contended that the sending of a certain letter by the defendant to the prosecutor belore the breach of the peace was committed was an offence under the statute Gth George IV ., c . 129 ; and , if so , it is undoubtedly by far the most serious and important circumstance that

      has been brought to the notice ofthe magistrate . It is objected , however , by the defendant to this part of the case , that no summons was issued against him , and that a magistrate has no jurisdiction over offences under the statute Gth George IV ., c . 129 , until a summons has been issued . It seems to me that the case of " Rex . v . Stone , " 1 East 640 , and three others which preceded it , might be held in answer to this objection . But , as it is of great importance that the charge against the defendant , under the statute , should be decided on its own merits , unembarrassed by questions about form or technicalities , I refrain from expressing any opinion on _tba-t charge . Is it the intention of thc prosecutor to apply for a summons ? Mr . Humphreys :

      Yes , if the present _proceedingsahould be irregular . — Mr . Bingham : Then , with respect to the breach of the peace , which was the immediate occasion ofthe defendant ' s arrest , it seems to me so subordinate a part of the whole proceedings that I shall not err in now ordering his discharge , —Mr . Ripon ( for the defendant ) applied for a certificate of dismissal . Mr . Bingham said he would consider the application . If a certificate ought to be granted , it could be granted at any time . —Mr . Ripon applied for an order on the police to restore the papers , which , he contended , had been improperly kept from him . —Mr . Bingham could not give any order . —Mr . Humphreys then applied for a summons against the defendant , which was granted .

      Eminent Working Men.—A Lecture Was Deliv...

      Eminent Working Men . —A lecture was delivered on Wednesday , at the Ennismore Arms , Princesgate , opposite the Crystal Palace , by William St . Clair , tbe person prosecuted by Messrs , Fox and Henderson , for the active part ho has taken in the Glaziers' Strike . The subject was , " Great Working Men . " The lecturer , in an eloquent and impressive discourse , showed the general advantage of working men obtaining information , as a means of elevating their condition in society , and spreading happiness in their own domestic circles . He then , in an excellent and elaborate manner , dwelt on the varying characters , and commented on the beauties in the writings of the following

      characters , giving many happy anecdotes respecting them : —Shakespeare , who was a woolcomber ; Ben Jonson , a bricklayer ; Robert Burns , a ploughman ; Bunyan , a tinker ; Thomas Chatterton , who died of starvation ; Allan Cunningham , Otway ; Tannahill , the celebrated Scotch poet , the loss of whose works Scotland will long deplore ; Wilson , the author of "Tales ofthe Borders , " who died under a cabstand ; Thomas Hood , the celebrated author of tho " Song of the Shirt ; " Ferguson , tho Poet ; Ferguson , the Astronomer ; Robert and William Chambers , Douglas Jerrold , and a host of others , including Thomas Cooper and Robert Owen ; on whose characters he passed a high eulocium . All

      these men had sprang from the working classes , and would confer eternal honour upon them . He then entered upon the wide field of those working men who had attained eminence in the Arts and Sciences , including Rennie , Watts , and Stephenson ; and wound up the list by adding to them the names of his late employers , Messrs . Fox and Henderson , the greatest contractors in the world , and men of immense genius and abilities , whose fame as engineers would neTer have been Bullied had it not been for their late unfortunate dispute with their workpeople—a dispute in which ho was , personally the greatest sufferer , but of which he would not

      then speak . He then entered into some details of his own life , from which it appeared that he was acquainted with the Latin , French , and Spanish languages—had a knowled ge of music and other accomplishments—had written a drama-conducted a magazine in _Stockport-and , in fact , seems to be _trSnli " Tk ? ° ? - The J g _° r ° _™ wS we I filled , and the lecturer was h ghly annlaudprf This lecture is the first of a series . _' The Refugees . —Tbe committee met at Turn . mill-street , on Wednesday , tho 4 th ; Mr Lunnin the chair ; business of importance was transacted and it was decided to get up a ball and concert for Monday night next for the refugees , , as a return Bal f 0 on _^ _W _^ thefll » free , to _allfriends , on tbe 29 th of November . .

Ho then left his employer ' s premises , and as ho was suspected of puffifng L cash W , Information « i > « WJ « t tbe police-station , and S ergeant Barker M division , succeeded in taking bim into custody . V , _jien taken to the station-house , Bowler , to _™**™™* the cash box , said that he was induced to _pluudei his employer bv bis fellow prisoner , who , knowing that he had access to thc iron safe on the premises , _urgod him to Steal the cash box . II ca tfirst _refused to listen to suoh a suggestion , but his scrupleb were at length overcome , and on the day mentioned , when he was sent to the iron safe for the books , he took tbe opportunity of taking the cash box , and , as previously arranged , he handed it oyer to his _nssoeiate . who was waiting on tbe premises to

      receive it . Bowler added that the man wbo had urgeil him to the commission of the offence was then waiting for him nt a neig hbouring coffae-shop , and thither the sergeant pvoceeded and apprehended Smith . The latter prisoner , on tbat occasion , when informed of the nature of tiie charge against bim , and told that Bowlor had confessed to taking the cash box , said he was glad of it—that truth was the best—and that his being out of employ , and having no money , was the reason that he became mixed up inthe transaction . —The prisoners , who declined saying anything in answer to the charge , were committed .

      CnARGE of Attempted Suicide at London Bridge . —Mary Head , a decent looking female , was charged with attempting to drown herself on the Surrey side of London bridge . Police Constable 225 M , said about nine o clock on Wednesday night ho was on duty near the foot of London bridge , when he saw tho prisoner rush by him and run with great speed down the steps leading to the river . He pursued her and caught hold of her clothes just as she was in the act of jumping into the water . She appeared to have been drinking . — In answer to the magistrate , prisoner said she had been deserted by her husband at Birmingham , and that a few days ago she eame up to London to find him . She had not been able to do so , and being very much excited , she foolishly ran down the steps Of the bridge , but with no intention of jumping into the water . —Mr . A'Beckett said , ho should deUm hor until some person came forward to be answerable for her future conduct .

As soon as ho recovered from the effects ofthe blow he stood up to defend himself against his assailant . At this time the two prisoners approached him , and all three fell upon him and beat him about until he became perfectly insensible . —Three witnesses confirmed the above statement , and after the prisoners had called witnesses , who lailed to disturb thc foregoing evidence , Mr . Elliot convicted each of the male prisoners in the full penalty of £ 8 , or two months' imprisonment , and the female in £ 1 , or fourteen days ,

      MANSION-HOUSE . —The French Emigrants . — The Lord Mayor said he had the gratification to state that he had received a letter from Mr , Balfour , of the firm of Balfour , Laming and Co ., the shipbrokers , containing information relative to the sixty-five French emigrants to California , who had some days ago complained against Mr . Urbain , with whom they had entered into engagements for their voyage to California , for not having performed his contract by conveying them to that destination . The following is a copy of thc communication , which bis lordship considered highly honourable to the firm : — " 157 , Fenchurch-strcct , My Lord , —I feel certain that you will be pleased to learn that the matter of theAbyssinia is arranged , but I

      conceive it to he due to your lordship , wbo has only heard one side of the question , to my firm , as one of some standing in the City , and to the public at large , to explain the whole circumstances of the case , thereby enabling you to arrive at a fair conclusion on its merits . On tho 2 oth of September last Mr . Urbain brought a letter of introduction to our house from our correspondent at Paris , and requested us to load for California the ship Abyssinia , which he had then purchased from Mr . Alexander , the agent of the owners , fov a sum of £ 3 , 100 , stating at thc same time that ho had engaged his passengers at Paris , and that he only required our assistance in loading the ship . Being well introduced we at once acceded to the request , and Mr . Alexander confirmed

      to us the next day the arrangement that had been made . A deposit having been duly paid the ship was laid on the berth for goods , and an amount of freight between £ 800 and £ 900 engaged by us . During the loading Mr . Urbain paid over to us various sums amounting in all to upwards of £ 1 , 000 , which we paid over , as requested by him , to the late owners of the ship . About the 20 th October , Mr . Urbain finding that it would cost a large sum of money to procure French papers , mado overtures to us to allow the register to be put in our name , an idea which we at once repudiated , as we could not bind our names to such a transaction . At the same time feeling for tho position of the man , we made a liberal offer for the

      purchase ofthe vessel outright . This he rejected , informing us the day after that hehad found a party who had acceded to his terms , and that the balance of tbe purchase money would at once be paid . This was never done , and the passengers becoming impatient the man was thrown into prison . Since that time proceedings have been taken against my firm , and although we derived no benefit from the transaction , nor are we in any way legally responsible for the acts of Captain Urbain , yet deeply eommisserating the condition of tho poor emigrants , we have purchased the ship , and she will proceed to sea oh Saturday . A number of these unfortunate emigrants being entirely without means , and almost without necessary clothing ,

      notwithstanding the heavy sacrifice we have already made—and those only who know what it is to fit out an emigrant Bhip ior a six months' voyage can appreciate that sacrifice—we have offered to contribute a further sum of fifty guineas , and we venture to appeal on their behalf to an English public—an appeal wbich is never made in vain . I can only add , that with one or two exceptions , the conduct of these men reflects upon them the greatest credit . I have the honour to be , my lord , your lordship ' s very obedient servant , Buchanan _Baipooh , of the firm of Balfour , Laminff , and Co . —To the Ri ght Hon . the Lord Mayor ot London . " —Lieutenant Lean , R . N „ government agent for the port of London , said he had seen the vessel since Messrs . Balfour , Laming , and Co ., had fitted her out , and the provisions laid in , and the accommodations made by the firm for the passage were most unexceptionable . The poor foreigners had

      expressed m the most grateful manner their feelings towards the chief magistrate of London for having so promptly and strenuously undertaken their cause , and hoped tbat his lordship would in the ensuing year , when so many people from all nations would be assembled in the metropolis , he hailed by the approbation of all who formed a just estimate of the value of charitable national intercourse . — The Lord Mayor said ho was sincerel y gratified at the liberal course pursued by Messrs . Balfour and Co ., who had thus stood , as it were between the poor foreigners and their ruin ; but he could not at the same time conclude his expressions of satisfaction without returning thanks to Lieutenant Lean for the benevolent pains that gentleman bad taken in- the business . —His lordshi p then at the request ofthe emigrants issued an order for the discharge ol Capt . Urbam from prison , to which that unfortunate person had been consi gned upon their _renresentations . * _r

Upon being asked what was in his basket , he said he did not know , and at the station-house I found two pint bottles and one quart bottle of ale in a towel in the basket . —Mr . John James ; Smith is head-cellarman at OUl ' house , and Bowles is under him . The bottles of ale and stout I believe to bo our property , some of them have our label upon them , —Bowles declared frequently during the examination tbat he was acting under Smith ; that he knew nothing of the contents ofthe basket , and that he was wholly innotwenty , -which he believed to be his property .-? nnnall . of the citv nolice force , said ; 1 took

      cent of any intention to wronghis employer . —Mr . James said ho believed that Bowles had been misled by Smith . —Smith told a rambling story about the removal of the bottles , and concluded by _statin- _r that he meant nothing to the injury ofthe prosecutors . —Alderman Hooper said lie oertainly considered Smith much more criminal in the matter than Bowles , but the case was one which he should send for the decision of a jury . —Bowles : Smith was my foreman , and would not pay mo my wages without going to the Bull tap , and I know nothing at all about the ale being taken out of tho cellar . — The prisoners were committed for trial .

      Ilenry "Whitam was charged with hiving robbed his employer , Mr . Ilarker , of Upper Thames-street , merchant , of a quantity of pepper . — Committed for trial . The Alderman was occupied during the greater part of the day ia examing two men , one of whom had been in tho confidential employment of Mr . Elliott * , of Martin ' s-lane . —The case was remanded . GUILDHALL . —Ciiarok of Ckueltt against a _Bahiusteu . —Mr . Fenn _, secretary to tho Royal Free Hospital , applied for a summons against Mr . Geo . Sloane , of G , Pump-court , Temple . A girl , named Jane Wilbred , aged eighteen , has Jived with Mr . Sloane as servant of all work . Mr . G . Phillimore ,

      who resides in the eame house with Mr . Sloane , having reason to believe that such a girl was on the premises in a slate of extreme distress from illtreatment , sent to a neighbour , Mr , A . A . Fry , and the two obtained possession of the girl , and immediately removed her to the house of a laundress in Cui'sitor-strcct , and sent for a physician . —Dr . Marsden , of tho Royal Free Hospital , said he was called to attend the girl in Cursitor-street . She was in SO low a condition as to bo unable to speak . On turning down the bedclothes he perceived that the unfortunate creature had scarcely anything but skin on her bones ; she was almost a living skeleton . After all that had been done for her it was

      possible that she might not survive , but if she had been left as found by Mr . Phillimore she must have died _iiv a few days . On questioning the givl after her removal , she told him that two years ago she eame from the West London Union to live with Mr . Sloane , being an orphan . For the first three or four months she had meat three or four times a week , since that time the allowance of meat had ceased , and sho was onlj allowed a basin of vegetable broth per diem . Under this treatment she had gradually wasted away . —Mr . rhillimore said that her clothing by day consisted of a chemise and gown ; at night her only covering wa 3 a counterpane and sheet . —In reply to Alderman Humphrey , Dr . Marsden said that ho would undertake to state that want of sufficient food , and not disease , was the cause of the _physicial condition in which the girl was discovered . —The magistrate granted the summons , declaring his determination to investigate the subject most thoroughly .

      _Out-doob Belie ** . — John Long was charged with being disorderly in the West London Union . —The relicving-officer of the West London Union stated that on Thursday afternoon prisoner came to him for relief , and , in compliance with the regulations , was offered an order to go into the house , which the prisoner threw back in witness ' s face saying he wanted outdoor relief for himself and wife and child . This being refused prisoner became very Tiolent , aud rushed up stairs towards the board room , where the guardians were then assembling . He was stopped by the porter , hut continuing vh _> lent , was given into custody . —Alderman Salomons said he thought the order issued by the board of guardians was unnecessarily harsh , as it entailed on

      the prisoner almost perpetual imprisonment . —Prisoner s wife said they only wanted a little out-door relief or else the admission of husband and child to the house . She could keep herself , and had kept the family for nine years , but the guardians refused to take on e without all . —Mr . Chamberlain said he was only acting in obedience to thc orders received from the board of guardians , and he could not , therefore , relieve one without the other in the way they wanted . —Alderman Salomons said he could not but think that the guardians were in fault ; but as he eould not overlook prisoner ' s violent conduct , he would therefore send him to the House of Correction for seven days . WORSHIP STREET . —Cuttixg and _Wousdiso . —A man namod « 3 , Hopwood , described as a

      backgammon-board manufacturer in Anne ' s-place , Hackney-road , and his wife , Edith Hopwood , a comely and delicate looking young woman , were placed at the bar before Mr . Arnold , charged with cutting and wounding a young woman named Jan _« Parnell , with intent to murder her . —Mr . Heritage , on behalf of the accused , said that he was instructed to give a total denial to the charge , which had origi nated in feelings of mortification and resentment on the part of the woman Parnell , in consequence of her having been discharged by the male prisoner in favour of his lawful wife ; and he should be able , on a future occasion , to produce convincing evidence that neither of the accused persons had left home at all upon the evenin g in question . —Mr . Arnold ordered both the prisoners to be remanded for a week .

      Criminal Assault . —Elisha Denton , an elderly man , who stood charged with a criminal assault upon a young girl named Emma Bennett , the daughter of an actor , was placed at the bar for final examination . —The only additional witness now examined was Mr . Thomas Meares , the divisional surgeon of police , whose evidence was ofa nature which cannot be particularly detailed , but went to prove that the girl had been subjected to such violence as to lead to the conclusion that the capital bffence had been committed . —In answer to a

      question from the magistrate , the officer who apprehended the prisoner stated tbat he had used every exertion to trace out the young woman ' s father , by whom she alleged sbe had been deserted , but all his efforts had been unsuccessful ; and the wife of the landlord of the houso where the offence had been perpetrated was too near her confinement to admit of her attendance . —The depositions were then completed by Mr . Vine , the chief clerk , and the prisoner , who earnestl y protested his innocence , was fully committed to Newgate for trial

      BOW-STREET _.-Chabok of _RonBERv .-Timothy Stratford , James Oram , and Samuel Poole , were brought before Mr . Hall upon warrants by an inspector of tbe Thames police , charged with being concerned in stealing at various periods between 1843 and 1847 several bags of coffee , sugar , and pepper , which formed the portion of the cargo oi the ship Agnes , then lying in the docks . Their accomphces Mitchell , Maynard , and Taylor , having identified the prisoners , said that . Garrett , who was usually at the loophole , delivered the goods to the prisoners , who were in the service of persons who knew nothing of such transactions , and after they were disposed ofthe proceeds were divided equally between them . —The prisoners declined saying anything to the charge , and they were ordered to be remanded until Saturday , the 7 th inst .

The depositions , which have been from time to time reported in the Times , were formally taken b y Mr . Burnab y , the chief clerk , after which the prisoner was asked if he had any defence to otter tothe charge . The prisoner then addressed the magistrate at some length . He said : When he first met this child he found her ignorant of the existence of a God . He instructed her , and _oo--casionall y corrected her , and he could only say , if his own father had Btranneri him down to a bench

      nnd punished him , as he had punished her , he should have been the first after recovering from the injuries he might have received to go and thank him , and kiss nis hand for the services which he had done him . If , by the laws of England , it was a crime to correet a bad ohild , he was prepared to abide the consequences . He adopted this child , and treated her a s his own daughter . He tried hard to brinjf her up in the fear of God , and free from moral stain . He could do no more . But , unban _, pily , she was addicted to the vilest habits , and had the most corrupt desires .

      Robbery . —John Taylor , a town traveller _lateW ill t !) _0 _Sfll'WM Of Ml ' . II . O . _Jlohn , bookseller an 5 publisher , of York-street , Co vent-garden was re examined on the charge of _stealing a great number of books belonging to his employer ; and Jolm Millard , a bookseller in _Newgate-street , on susni . cion of foloniously receiving the same . —Mr Clarkson appeared for the defendant Millard . At ' the previous examination it was proved that about lf ) Q volumes ( including many volumes of the Standard Library ) were found at Taylor ' s lodgings ; and on ascertaining that he had been in the _luibit also of sending parcels of books to Millard ' s shop , Mr Bohn went there hi company with a police-officer

      and had an opportunity , in the absence of Millard himself _. oflookingovcrtbestock . He then identified a considerable number of his books , which , from their recent publication and peculiar bindin " _, hewas certain had never been sold from his establish ' ment in the ordinary way . One of the parcels sent by Taylor was also lying upon the counter , and found to contain books belonging to the proseeutor . On the arrival of Millard , who lived at Clap _, ton , ho was questioned about the books , and displayed so much agitation in his manuer and told

      such contradictory stories about them , accord ' ing to the statement of . Mr . Bohn and the oflBcer , that he was given into the custody of the latter for receiving with a guilty knowledge . Millard at that time admitted having g iven £ 2 onl y for books _, worth £ 5 10 s . ; but he said he always believed Taylor to be a respectable man , and he thought that he might haye procured the books at somo of the _traclo sales , where it was well known works often , sold at greatly reduced prices . — Mr . Clarkson now desired that all the books taken

      from his client ' s shop should be produced ; and that the prosecutor should be called upon to prove that they were his property . —Mr . Bohn pointed out the peculiarity to which he had referred as related to several of them , the recent publication of which also enabled him to state positivel y that they had been stolen . Mr . Millard was aware that his town travellers never had any authority to receive money for the sale of his books ; besides which the price he had given Taylor for the books , and which had enabled him to sell the works at less than half their actual cost , was alone sufficient to excite suspicion . Millard know what the trade prices were , having bad some of the works direct from him ( Mr . Bohn ) . In a letter which Millard had since written to him , he had promised to restore all the books he had purchased of Taylor , even at ft personal sacrifice to

      himself of £ 10 . —Mr . Clarkson contended that this promise was perfectly consistent with the honour and integrity of his client , who had carried on a respectable business for many years . Books were often sold at the trade rales at prices quite as low . —Mr . Bohn denied this , and asked if town travellers were to be encouraged in disposing of their employers' property in this way , at less tban half its original cost to the latter ? If so there was an end to all protection for men in his position . — Mr . Jardine remarked , that however strong the moral conviction of the prosecutor might be in such cases , it was necessary that the charge should be made out by facts before a magistrate . Owing to certain practices in the bookselling trade , admitted and sanctioned , it became very difficult to adiudicato

      in such a case , in the absence of direct and conclusive evidence of a guilty knowledge . "Was there any further evidence to be given ?—Matthews , thc con-Stable who accompanied Mr , Bohn to Millard ' s shop and took possession of the books , said that Millard told him they were soiled and second-hand books , and " that it took him a whole day to clean them after he had purchased them of Taylor . " This was said in the presence of the prosecutor , who confirmed the statement . —Mr . Jardine said , it waa extraordinary that neither Mr . Bohn nor tbe constable included this in their former depositions . —Mr . Clarkson deprecated the practice of adding afterthoughts tO the depositions . —Eventually , after much discussion , Mr . Jardine committed Taylor for trial , and ordered Millard to enter into his own recognisances in £ 100 to answer the charge hereafter .

      as much generosity if he were a rich one . —Pope . Therapeutics . —The history of medicine is bv no means flattering to science . It is questionable whether moro is known of diseases , their cause , and their cure , at this moment , than in the tim _« of Galen ; it is certain that diseases are quite as numerous , and in the aggregate as fatal . Every age has produced some nan * syatsm of artificial therapeutics which the nest age has banished ; each has boasted in its turn of cures , nnd tbey . in their turn , have been condemned as failures . Medicines themselves are the subjects unsettled ; in fact , that it has no established principles , that it is little more than conjectural ? ' At this moment , * _eays Mr . Pinny , ' the opinions on the subject of treatment are almost a 3 numerous as tho practitioners themselves . Witness the mass of contradiction un the treatment of even one disease , namely , consumption . Stroil attributes its

      frequency to the introduction of bark . Morton considers bark an effectual cure . Reid ascribes the frequency of the disease to the use of mercury . Brillonet asserts that it is curable by mercury only . Buse says that _consumption is an inflammatory disease — should be treated by bleeding , purging , cooling medicines , and starvation . Salvador ! says it is a disease of debility , and should be treated by tonics , stimulating remedies , and a generous diet . Galen _recemmended vinegar as the best preventative of consumption . Dessault and others assert that consumption is often brought on by taking vinegar to prevent obesity . _Beddoes recommended foxglove as a specific . Dr . Parr found foxgleve more injurious in his practice than beneficial . Sueh are the contradictory statements of medical men ! ' And yet there can be but one true theory of disease . Of the fallibility and inefficiency of medicine , nona have been more conscious than medical men themselves , many of whom have been honest enouch to avow theirennviotinn nnd nnw
