      _impor-ance , and in order to procure wmch they had put themselves to the greatest privation . —The first clmige proved against the prisoner was that of _Wiiiia-u _YVravcr _, a , poor shoemaker , living in Crossstreet- Old Kent-read , who stated tint towards tbe end et"last November , the prisoner call -d upon him and laid that be wanted to find the family of the Jaek < ons , for whom sonic property was now held in trustby the Hig h Court of Chancery , of which court lie \ r . i- * an officer .

Witness siid his wife was a relation t _<» Mr . Jackson ; the prisoner said , " You had _hett-er petition the court , and you will no doubt get

      it . " He then offered his services to draw up ii petition , for which be said he should require five sliilliugs for the .---amp , and sixpence for the office lees , ami i ) o : hin « r for himself . He _jrave witness his address , 109 , " _Hi-ih-strec-t , Shoreditcii . He then wait away , _coming _aaain on the 2 nd of December , and bringing with him what he said was the petition , obtained " the 5 s . Od ., adding that prosecutor should hear from him again , in not less than four nor more than eight days . . Accordingl y , on the 6 th he came , and brought what he called an answer to the petition , and said that another Jackson bad put in twelve pleas against _liim _, which would cost 12 s . Gd . to answer . Witness then made an ajipo ! : _< iment to meet liim on the I «? ih _,

      and in the mean time " ¦ ¦ - de the police acquainted - villi _tlit * _t-ict , ami upon the occasion of the next _inisrriew - iolice-cw--table _Jephscu , 72 P , made one of the party at the consultation , being in plain 3 _* Jthes . Witness then _--ave prisoner I 2 s . Od ., which was marked , and again asked him if he was an offi cerof the Court of Chancery ? He said he was ; tut . it would appear he began to suspect all was not right , and told ihe prosecutor that bis business wouid not suit him , when he was taken into custody , and k turned out that he had been duping a great number of other poor people . — George Brodie , a poor simple fellow , following the occupation o : a lampli ghter , and living in the Old Kentroad , stated that having heard from Mr . Charles ,

      one of ill ' . ; parties mentioned in tke indictment , of ihe prisoner being a wan who could recover property from the Court of Chancery , and fancying lhat he had something there , he applied io him iii September hist When tbe prisoner came he got from him -5 s . IH . for the petition ; and in the course of a few day * called again , and said lhat he should require 22 s . Od . to take out letters of adumiu-trr . _tioji . Prisoner showed him a paper , which he said was ths _answer , and added that he could not bave _Lsi-l a better if he had paid £ 100 for it . The result ¦ was the poor gasli g ht man was so elated that he at once paid the 22 s . * ld ., which he managed fo scrape to ; : ctlier , and the prisoner departed , and he saw no move of him until he was in custody in December . 3 n this instance witness bad asked him if he was

      authorised by the Court of Chancery , when the prismier said be was an officer of that honourable court , and produced a large seal , which he said was his coat of arms and authority , aud cost him three guineas . —Air . Frederick Locke , clerk to the principal secretary of the Lord Chancellor , said the _prisoner did not belong to the court , "; iid that no petitions had been sent for the parties alluded to . — Tiie prisoner , in his defence , said , tbat he had never represented himself as anything more than an _ag-.-nt . and lhat he had undertook , as he would any odd job that fell in . his way , to obtain for these poor . people property which he believed to be in that sanctum sanctorum , the coffers of the Receiver-General , and was the legal heritage of his prosecutors . He then went info a long rambling statement about the unclaimed dividends now in the

      Court of Chancery , and the abuses of the court , and concluded by " putting in two documents signed hy his _i-rosecutors , that they would hold him hurm-Jess of all matters tbat might arise whilst prosecuting their claims . —The jury found bim Guilty . He "w . ts sentenced to twelve mouths' imprisonment . Postponement of Sloxe ' s Case . —On Wednesday Mv . Clark = on applied on the affidavit of Sloane ' s attorney , for the _postponement of this trial , on acaconnl of the great _escitemeut of the public mind . The affidavit stated that , since the last examination , tbe said George Slo me had not been able to go to liis _usuil _residence , or to go abroad in the public -Street ? , _nllLuuL _Jauget , if l > _a -was Tppngnicpd . nf receiving personal violence , and possibly fatal

      injury , and that he was prevented from bringing him to the court to consult bis counsel , or to join in the present _affidavit , for the same reason . Mr . Clarkson having stated that he only appeared for George Sloane , and denied the correctness of the statement that Mrs . Sloane would surrender and take i . er trial . —Mr . Justice Pattesou was of opinion that if the indulgence was granted it should be _understood that the wife would appear and take her trial atthe next session . —Mr . Clarkson said that at this time Mrs . Sloane was not with her husband ; and he believer ] that , in point of fact , she was uot in the country . —Tbe judges having consulted , Mr . Justice P . itteson « iid the Couit was of opinion tbat , upon the whole , it was better that tan trial should be _pos'poned . The indictment bad only been found a very short time , and it was certaiulv necessary that the counsel for the defendant

      should have an opportunity of seeing it , and of consulting the defendant respecting it , and when it was stated that the defendant could not go about the streets a i the present time , without danger of violence of a serious kind , it appeared to ihe Court that to hurry the trial on under _sueh circumstances , would iardiy be consistent with tho interests of justice . He should have been g lad if it bad been in any way in the power of the court to have secured the attendance of the of her defendant , but as she had not been in custody that could r , othe done . All the Court , therefore , could do at present was , to direct that the trial should be postponed to the next session , upon the defendant awl Ins sureties entering into the necessary _rceogiiizances . —The required sureties were shortly afterwards entered into , and tbe case was ordered to be placed on the judges' list at the next session .

      The Case of the Sloanes . —Mr . _Huddlestone applied to the court to give the amount of recognisances that should be entered into by Theresa Sloane , the wife of George Sloane , against whom the grand jury had returned a true bill , for _illusi . -. g tiieir servant , in _tlieevpnt of her being taken —The Chief Baron directed that Mr . Sloane should enter into a _recognisance of £ 509 , and that she should also find two sureties in £ 250 each .

      Extbaordixanr Death.—On Wednesday A Long...

      _ExTBAORDiXAnr Death . —On Wednesday a long inquiry took place before _31 r . W . Carter , the coroner , at the Marlborough Arms , _Camk-rwell , on the bo _<* y of Mr . William King , aged fifty-four , whose death took place under very singular circumstances . The deceased bad been separated from his family for nearly seventeen years , and was net known to have had any regular borne lately , hut told his son recently that he was now doing an _excellent business , and wished him to give up his situation to join him , out he had declined . On tbe Sunday before Christmas-day he had a fit in St . George ' s Church , Camberwell , and seems to have been taken to his mother ' s _, where he met his son , who , in the evening , tried to get bim a bed , but could not and left him near

      Camherwell-brid ge . On the Tuesday he was found in the Old Kent road , with a number of persons around bim , aud on the arrival < sf a policeman he avas supposed to be drunk , and taken to the stationhouse , where he was locked up all night . In the _moraing he had his breakfast and was taken to the police-office , when the magistrate , seeing he was ill . directed he should be taken to the workhouse in a cab . It _should be stated tbat on his arrival at the station-house he gave his card , "Mr . King , 19 a , _Throsmorton-street" When he reached Camberwell Workhouse , 3 Ir . Sniithers found him in a very bad

      state , tbe extremities being almost cold . It was considered there had been neglect at the station-house at Rotherhitbe , and the Police Commissioners were written to on the subject . Mr . King , the parish _surgeon , saw him directly ; he was then insensible , and fhe ejej dilated , and not susceptible to light . He bad a » the appearance of having taken some opiate , and continued insensible for several days , ultimately dying on Thursday last He denied that he had been dnnking , and Mr . King found on opening the head that the brain was greatly enlarged , and the bone was worn to ihe thinness ofa wafer . The iurv returned a verdict of " Natural death " " _^

      The Mixers Of The S0rth. Du T Rbam:Sd ° ...

      THE MIXERS OF THE _S 0 RTH . Du rbam : Sd ° _^ _oeliry , -ar Ferry Hill , Xew Yea- * - * P uiillc mectln S , _f palty t ° " MU _5- ' .. s Dav , in commemoration of th e re-eata-* _-mt-iitof the Union at that place , and to take - * - _- _* ick as it were ofthe benefits arising therefrom . Tiie tea , which was generally approved of , and great credit was given to the ladies who . prepared the same , was conducted in the most p _»«^ worthy manner , the best order being preserved , _^ notwithstanding the large room was _densely crowded . Thctcabeing ° ovcr . Mr . W- _Kicnow was called upon to preside , and opened the meeting by the following remarks . Mr . _Echols said tlJ ; lt t _* , 6 cvlls of whicirthe miners generally had to complain were multifarious and of great magnitude , and were he

      to indulge in the idea of reviewing the whole of them , such being their extent and ramification , he would necessarily occupy more time than as a chairman he should he entitled to , hence he would apprise tbem that the remedy for those evils was in their own hands ; they had but to become united , and many ofthose evils would pass away , as indeed they had had experience of during the short time they had been united . If so much could be done by the _vmiting of a few men together , behold the grand results which would necessarily follow the formation of a National Union of all Trades . Let us then join the National Trades Association , and thus lend a hand to purge society of its corruptions , and help forward the cause of Democracy .

      The Chairman on resuming his seat was loudly cheered , and immediately after he introduced to the meeting the veteran miner , B . _Embleton , an individual who , although verging ou his eightieth year , is still working laboriously to establish the good cause , and which he has laboured at for upwards of forty years . Mr . Embleton dwelt first on the proposition of what constituted labour , and its present position . Secondly , what it ought to be . Thirdly , what _ilic labourers * could accomplish iu bringing to labour its due reward . The speaker then enforced in his usual and demonstrative manner the true properties of labour , and showed how those properties had been made to serve other _puvposes , illustrating the same by picturing the present condition

      of the labourer , and concluded an energetic address by pointing out the proper reward of labour , and how io accomp lish it . The audience testified their approval by enthusiastic cheers . The Chairman then introduced Mr . T . Pratt , who entered at great length into the evils arising from the predominancy of one portion of the community over tbe other . He also set forth the necessity of the helot class becoming united , and thus aid the cause of progress , concluding with a peroration calling upon the audience to he prepared to awake from their slmi'bers , for the time was at hand when a mighty struggle would come , and those only who were prepared , by banding themselves together , could expect to be fared . Rally , then , around the standard of union , and never cease your agitation till erery son of toil has his rights conceded him , and liberty , g lorious liberty , is proclaimed to every

      son of man , wiiich was followed by repeated cheers . Mr . R . _nouosoN was then called upon to address the meeting , who descanted at considerable length on the moral , social , and political condition of the working classes ; demonstrating tbe necessity of their having tbeir political rights before they could achieve their true position , either morally or socially , nevertheless ( said 3 Ir . Hodgson ) it is our duty to " war and combat with the abuses of society , and if those who now hold the franchise will not aid us in obtaining our political rights , let us organise a g igantic scheme of co-operation , which , if wc carry it out with spirit , will ultimately bring its reward , by the marked improvement of the people , both moraily and socially , and compel onr rulers to emancipate the enslaved _masses by granting them the franchise . 3 Ir . Hodgson ' s address was well received .

      The _Chahtmax next introduced Mr . 11 .. Archer , the talented advocate of the people ' s rights , who stated , that as the preceding speakers had properly laid down the principles and objects they should contend for , he would confine his remarks to the importance of the duty which devolved upon them . If they becameapathetic and lukewarm irithecause , their sufferings would be increased , tbeir hardships multiplied , and slaves they would become in verity whereas , if tbey stood man to man , and allowed no fear norcowardice fo take possesion of their hearts ,

      they would improve their present condition , secure a greater amount of freedom , and ultimately obtain their legitimate rights . He trusted , then , that each one present would do bis duty , for it was by perseverance only tbey could expect to achieve their emancipation , and that of their rising generation . Let each man he determined to so act his part as to leave the world better than he found it , thereby securingan increased extent of liberty to his children who would read in the life of their fathers their own duty , and thus the cansc would progress , and the " Good time coming" would in reality be verified .

      The j _, roeno _3 in < i « wore brought to a close by a vote of thanks to the ladies , for their able assistance at the tea , likewise to the chairman , when three rounds of applause were given for the Union and the People ' s Charter . Tiie assembly then dispersed , highly delighted with tbe proceedings , which were marked throughout by unanimity and concord . A m- eting of a similar character took place on Christmas Day , at Seafon Deleval Colliery , when about 700 of tieworkmen met together , their chief

      manager , Mr . Foster , being in the chair . The parties who addressed the meeting spoke freely out , notwithstanding the presence of their employers , 'ind all urged , with an earnestness which could not be mistaken , the necessity of being united , and acting together in harmony and concord . The resolutions , which were all unanimously agreed to , were expressive of the working mens desire to acquire knowledge , aud thus ensure the improvement of themselves and families , physically and intellect nallv .

      Having , after the close of the above proceedings , called the attention of the prominent men , at the above colliery , to the Defence , or Honesty Fund , now being raised to indemnify Mr . O'Connor , they at once agreed to assist , if a book was sent them . Of course that was done , and . on the next day , the book was returned , having subscriptions to the amount of ten shillings . and ninepence , which 1 forward you for insertion in this week ' s Star . M . Jude . P . 3 . —The chief part of the colliers lay idle for a fortnight or three weeks at this time of the year ; hut it is hoped , when tbey resume work again , that the suggestion in the Star of the 2 Sth of December , for a general subscription for the above object , will be carried out , not only in these two counties , but in tbe mining districts of Great Britain . —M .

      Derby And Nottingham Miners. The Miners ...

      DERBY AND NOTTINGHAM MINERS . The miners of Clay Cross held a tea party and reunion on Monday last , at the George and Dragon In ' . The company was numerous and respectable . After tea a public meeting was held to explain the objects of tbe Miners' Association . Chas . Binns , Esq ., the head colliery master , very handsomely consented to take tbe chair , and , after a few opening remarks , introduced Mr . Wm . Daniells , who had heen sent for from Staffordshire to address the meeting . He was cordially received , and cheered during bis long address , after which the fallowing resolution was passed .

      Jloved by Mr . Joshua Cvrrs , seconded hy Mr . Wm . Walker : —" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Miners' National Association is calculated to improve the condition of the mining population mentally , morally , and physically ; and as it also has a tendency to benefit both the employer and tbe employed , we consider it ought lo be supported and encouraged by both parties , so that a more correct and better feeling may be brought

      about between them than bas heretofore existed . " ' The Chairman then made some pertinent remarks on the principles and intent of tbe Association _, which he said he approved of , and hoped the miners would stand together , improve _iheir minds , and do tbeir duty , and he would do his ; he hoped , before long , both masters acd men would be united together to promote each other ' s welfare . He then put several questions , which were satisfactoril y answered by Mr . Darnells .

      Air . Clark having made a short speech , " and a cordial vote of thauks having been given to Mr Biuns , the company partly retired , as the room was densely packed , and the rest began to " trip it on the light fantastic toe . " and all went on as " merry as marriage belh . " _Thi-i meeting has done great good ; many who were formerly opposed to the Miners' Union are now convinced of its utility . Meetings have likewise been recently held at Chesterfield , to petition for an eight hours' bill , at Tnpton , Lings , Grassraore , _Wingfield , Kimberly , Eastwood , Cassall , Dronfield ( thirty-eight joined here ) , Staneley , Brimmington , tec . All these meetings were addressed hy Mr , Daniells , and many added to the ranks ofthe Association .

      The Union is in a very promising way in these two counties ; it is becoming very popular , and bids fair to hecome very strong in a short time . Mr . Clark , one of the agents , has aho lately held several good meetings with fair success .

      Marylebone.—Uttering Counterfeit Coin. —...

      MARYLEBONE . —Uttering Counterfeit Coin . —A respectably-dressed young man , who cave his name Henry Williams , and who at the station-house said that he lived at 20 , Kingsgate-street , Holborn , was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton on the charge of having uttered a counterfeit sovereign at the house of Mr . Best , the George , Queen Annestreet , Cavendish-square . A great many spurious pieces purporting to be of the denomi nation of coin alluded to b . - _' _. ve recently _\* kn passed to tradesmen ' _** ine district <» f tliis court in payment for goods purchased of them , and there is every reason to suppose that a well organised gang of " smashers " are pursuing their nefarious practices iu various

      parts of town to a considerable extent . —Anne Price , barmaid to Mr . Best , said that on Saturday afternoon last the prisoner came to the counter and asked for a bottle of pale brandy , which he stated he was going to take to Wimpole-street . She placed it before him on tho bar , when he threw down a sovereign , which she weig hed , and , finding that it was genuine , she put before him the change , . amounting to Us . lOd . ( 2 d . being deducted for the bottle ) . He then remarked th ;> t he was directed to pay no more than is . Cd ., but that ho would go back and see if the price would do . She gave him back his sovereign and tonk possession of the brandy and change ; upon wliich he remarked , " Well , I think I'll take the brandy after all , and chance it , " at the

      same time putting on the counter another piece having the same appearance as the former . She ( the barmaid ) ascertained by weighing that this second piece was sadly deficient , and , being quite satisfied that the prisoner ' s object was of a fraudulent nature , she took the latter coin , which was a counterfeit one , to her master , who was then in Wimpolestreet , and the prisoner , who had in the meantime left the house without obtaining anything , was soon afterwards observed by witness to pass along the street last named . She pointed him out to her muster , by whom he was detained until the arrival of a constable ; he was then conveyed to the stationhouse , and iocked up . —Regan , IS D , by whom the prisoner was taken into custody , said that he had

      been to the address given by him ( prisoner ) , and found tbat he was not known to any one on the premises . —The barmaid was cross-examined with much shrewdness by the prisoner , but he did not in the slightest degree benefit himself thereby . —The spurious coin was handed to the magistrate ; the impression on cither side was well executed , but no doubt could exist with regard to the worthless character of the piece ; the exterior of which , however , to a casual observer , would be very likely to deceive . —The prisoner was then remanded for the attendance of the Mint Solicitor . _FonGEHY . —Mr . E . Smith , who when taken by _Lockerby , of tbe S division , No . 1 S 9 , said he was a chemist , residing in Seymour-street , Euston-squaie , was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton fur further examination , on the charge of having forged and uttered two Rills of Exchange , one for £ 100 , and the other for £ 90 16 s ., with intent to defraud Mr .

      Thomas Hickin , of Droitwich . The bills purported to bear the acceptance of Mr . _'Yilliam Hadlcy _, of Peterchurch , pear Hereford . Since the commencement of the inquiry two remands have taken place , aud on Monday Mr . Ballantine appeared , as upon the last occasion , for the prosecution . Mr . Huddlestone attended for the prisoner , whose relations are , it is said , _hiahly respectable . —Mr . Hadley was sworn , and he stated that the acceptances to the bills were not in his handwriting , neither hed he at any time authorised the prisoner , of whom he had some knowledge , to affix any signature to a bill in his name—The two learned gentlemen engaged in the case examined and cross-examined at some length , and as Lockerby was of opinion that he should be ab ' e to show , in the course of a few days , that the prisoner had committed other forgeries in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire , he ( the prisoner ) , who , acting under the advice of his counsel , had nothing to say , was remanded till Monday next .

      WESTMINSTER . —Begging Letter Impostor . —W . Thomas alias Lanham , alias Holland , a notorious begging letter writer , was charged with practising the following gross imposture . —Mr . Cripps , barrister , 11 , Walton-place , Chelsea , stated that about a month ago a man presented himself at his residence with the following note : — " The Rev . G . B . Dalton , rector of Lambeth , presents his compliments to H . W . Cripps , Esq ., atthe earnest request of the bearer , George Laubam , who informs him tbat his brother and sister Jived as domestics in your respected family for some years at Cirencester , and were well known to almost erery member of your family . I believe him to be an honest and deserving character , and as such feel most happy

      in recommending his case to your benevolent notice . The enclosed speaks sufficient as to the distressed state in which the poor man is placed . — Vicarageplace , Lambeth , Nov . 22 , 1 S 50 . "—Accompanying this was a distress warrant against his goods , at the suit of the applicant ' s landlord , and a list of subscriptions towards paying the arrears of rent . Complainant knowing the rev . gentleman whoso name was used , and believing the application to he genuine , gave the man 15 s . but he had hardly left the place when , on looking over the letter again he felt confident he had been imposed upon . It was nearly dark at the time he was the applicant , and he was unable , therefore , to speak to the prisoner ' s identity . On last Saturday night a man called and left a note purporting to come from ¦• A . Wilde , overseer of Chelsea Workhouse . " Knowing , as a

      guardian , that there was no such person , he sent for a policeman , and gave prisoner into custody . — William Horsford , chief officer of the Mendicity Society , then stepped into the witness box , and stated that the prisoner was the general writer for a large gang of begging letter impostors . Apart from being the private secretary of these impostors , the prisoner bad been committed from this court for three months for a fraud upon Lord Ducie , and had since been committed for a like period by Mr . Beadon . —Mr . Broderip said prisoner was one of those impostors who went about preying on society , and diverting tho legitimate course of charity , which he could say , from bis very lengthened experience , flowed most abundantly in this country , and was _mopt abundantly imposed upon . No oneearryingon that disgraceful trade could expect aught but the full severity of the law , and he , therefore , committed the prisoner for three months hard labour in the House of Correction .

      Charge of Swindling .-Ann Gardener was charged with endeavouring to obtain , hy lalse pretences , three valuable shawls and other property , from Mr . Parton , Queen _' s-row , Pinilico . —John Jennings , assistant to the prosecutor , stated that on Saturday night the prisoner came to the shop , and said she was seat hy Mrs . Moore , housekeeper to tbe Queen , for some shawls and boas , and that she was to take them . He did not know a pen-on of that name , but served her with three shawls , valued at £ 4 , and also with some furs . He showed her a quantity , from which she selected three valued at nearly 30 s . In the course of the conversation , while serving her , she stated that she

      Y ?» s _ankes of Mis . Moore , and they were excellent customers to the house . She requested that the artioles might be packed at once , hut suspicion being excited , they declined to let her take the things , and they were sent hy a porter to the Palace , when it was discovered that no person of the name of Moore was attached in any capacity to the Palace . — The prisoner , in defence , said that shewas sent by a person near the Palace whom sbe did not know . — Another person , who was present , said she had come to their shop under the same circumstances , but he did not wish to press the charge . Mr . Broderip remanded the prisoner for a week , for the production of fresh evidence .

      Extraordinary Proceeding at a Puseyite Church . —Thomas Doyle , a tall powerful Irishman , employed as beadle at the Charlotte-street Chapel Pimlico , appeared to a summons charging him with assaulting Mr . Edward Simms , timber merchant , residing at 30 , _Gillingham-street , Wilton-road , Pimlico . —Mr . Simms said , on Sunday evening , the 29 th of December , I went to Charlotte-street Chapel , Pimlico , and was requested by defendant to take a seat in the direction he pointed . I replied that as it was so late I would not disturb the congregation by going up the aisle . Defendant , who had a long gown on and was acting as a beadle , said , " You must . " I observed that I would rather not , upon which he said " then he must turn me out of

      the place . " I immediately said , " Why , I am doing no harm here , " when he pointed to a person whom I was afterwards informed was a police constable in plain clothes , and said , " be will soon put you out . " I remonstrated with him in a whisper not to disturb the congregation , as I did not wish to be made conspicuous . He said , " You shall go out , " and pushing the door open , called police constable 73 IS , who was outside on duty , as I suppose . I spoke to the constable , and asked him if he had instructions to take persons away from that place of worship , and be said " No . " Defendant then followed me up , and _j-. ut me out of the lobby into tbe street . —Cross-examined : It was during the sermon . I had my wife and a sister , and a witness who is now in attendance , with me . That witness used to attend worship at that chapel , which was

      our reason for going into it . I never have been a frequenter of it , and bad just left my own place of worship before the event there . I had no hooks nor tracts . I am not a regular attendant at the chapel , and did nothing to interrupt their devotions . The church was not half full ; there was abundance of room , and we did not inconvenience any one where we stood—George Dewsfield , 73 B : I was on duty outside the chapel and was called by defendant to remove complainant from the chapel . I . stepped inside the chapel , hut I did not 6 ee anything in his conduct to justify me in removing him , and I stepped back on the pavement again outside , and before I had time to turn round the gentleman was out . —Mr . Broderip : Was he disturbing the congregatton or in any way offensive ? Witness : He was perfectly sober , and conducted himself with perfect propriety . —Complainant _having stated that

      Marylebone.—Uttering Counterfeit Coin. —...

      he did not consider it necessary to call any other witnesses . —Mr . Broderip inquired what answer there wa 3 to this case ?—Solicitor for the defence said : This is a very critical thing . —Mr . Broderip : Pardon me for a moment , I differ with you in that respect . I think it a very serious matter on one side or tho other . If this person went into the chapel with the object of disturbing tho con « _- *' , „ . tion he deserves condign pun _;; a iimeht . _j n another sense , ifc is very _^ _Wous as t _0 \ lGUiag th-i right of tile public to he present at any place of divino worship while they conduct themselves properly , but I have no wish to interrupt your reply . Pray proceed , sir . —Solicitor : The only explanation I have to offer is , that there had been several p ersons in the aisle and body of the chapel distributing tracts and disturbing the congregation , About three weeks ago , a man rushed into the middle

      aisle , and running up it threatened to do some injury to the incumbent , in consequence of wliich he dee ' mod it necessary to lay down a regulation that every person should be required to take a seat or be turned out , as people about to disturb the con-rogation . If the incumbent felt that a person had cntcred the chapel , although impulsed only by motives of curiosity , and had no desire to disturb the congregation , he _[ would belhe ; very last to desire , and the first to regret , that any rudeness should be used towards him . Will you send this case to the sessions?—Mr . Broderip ( with evident astonishment , in which many of the auditory appeared to join)—Do you wish it sent to the sessions ?—Solicitor : Yes , sir . —Mr . Broderip : Certainly , I will send ifc to the sessions . —Defendant was then ordered to find bail for his appearance at the sessions to answer the charge , which was shortly afterwards put in

Witness returned to his bedroom , and missed from his trousers' pockets one half sovereign and some silver and copper . He called up the night porter , and they proceeded to the prisoner ' s room . They knocked at the door , and a voice , which witness immediately recognised as the one whicli answeved him on the _stsdvs _, asked who was there ?

As be was returning home , he was accosted by some women , who inveigled him into Fox-court , where they dragged him down stairs into a largo kitchen filled with men and women . He was anxious to get out of the place , when he was followed by the prisoner , who attacked him as described by the officers . —Mr . Combe asked the

      officers what sovt of a place this '' Kitchen" was?—Tyler replied , that ifc was a house let out to notorious thieves , beggars , prostitutes , and the worst of characters , who were accommodated with beds at 2 d . or 3 d . per night ; there were several bods in each room , where men , women , boys , and girls , slept indiscriminately together .

A policeman stated that while on duty the previous night , the prisoner came up to him , and addressing bim , said that she had robbed a gentleman in the City of a gold watch one night in the month of September last , and that her mind had been rendered so miserable ever since she had committed the offence that she could rest neither

      day , nor night ; and had , therefore , determined on resigning herself into the hands of justice . He accordingly took the accused to the station-house , where she repeated the statement , and was then locked up in one of tbe cells . She then gave the address of the gentleman from whom she asserted she had stolen the watch , and inquiries were instituted , but no such person was to be found ; and it was now believed that there wa 3 no foundation for so serious an accusation against herself . —Mr , A Beckett , asked the prisoner whether she still adhered to the statement she had made to the constable on the previous night _« The prisonerin

      , reply , said that she was out later than she was in the habit of being ; and , unwilling to disturb the fami ly with whom she lived , and rather than remain in the streets , walking about all ni <* ht , and subject herself to insult , she brought tlfe whole accusation against herself , with a view of being taken to the station-house . —Mr . A'Beckett said that she had acted very foolishly in making so serious an accusation against herself , which might have led to her detention for some time , if inquiries had not been made hy the constable . The magistrate then discharged the prisoner , with a caution not to repeat her conduct .

      turneu into dismay and they all started upon their leet , but , the arch being enclosed on all ( ides but that on which the hole was made , thev had noonpqrtunity of escape , and therefore all " were secured without difficulty They had worked holes and undermined the arch in several places ; and after having taken them into custody he examined the place , and found in a Aole covered with a piece of board , small panels of coffee , sugar pepner candles , & c _, all of which he had no doubt had been _rtolcn .-Mr .

A'Beckett said that a detainer could be lodged against him ; but all the prisoners being found in sucli a place , and their characters being bad , together with the circumstance of the finding

      Another Fatal Accident o . v the Eastern Counties Railway . —An accident of a most _distressin" " nature . again occurred on tho above lino of railway on Wednesday , the Sth inst , by which one of the company ' s servants , named Itodwick , lost his life . On the morning in question , about live u ' clockj Mr . Atkinson telegraphed down the line to "keep clear . " This was nearly ono hour anteceden t tv > any ofthe ordinary trains starting from the Shoreditch terminus . Answers were duly received from every station except Ponilor _' s End ; omission , however , at that point was not apparently considered a matter of importance , a 3 at sis o ' clock a special train , conveying a gentleman en route to Carabridiro

      to attend his father ' s demise , left tho terminus aud proceeded at a rapid rate in safety as far as _Pontier ' s End , where some second class carriages left by tlie goods train were being shunted across the line by deceased and two others . At this juncture the special train ran into the station , striking tho second class carriagcs . in its progress , forcing them off the lino , and jamming the unfortunate man between them and "' a brick wall . He was taken up in a most pitiable condition , aud conveyed to a neighbouring gentleman ' s house , where , on medical attendance being procured , it was ascertained that his spine was fractured in several places . Ho lingered in great agony until a late hour on

      Thursday evening , when he expired without being removed . Deceased had been in the company ' s service a considerable time , and was much respected , and filled the triple situation of signal man , points - man , and telegraph attendant , at the Ponder ' s End station . The fatal occurrence is rendered yet move lamentable by the fact of deceased having ' for tho last five years been the sole support of an aged father , confined to his bed with paralysis at 23 , Essex-street , King ' s Cross . Mr . _SiunuLL , the refiner , who was tried for receiving stolen goods , and acquitted , has , it is said _, commenced legal proceedings against Mr . Lund , ol ' the metropolitan detective force , for compensation for loss occasioned by reason of closing his shop .
