_HAMSUrtSMITH . _Cokviction o _* Foetdse TELLiB . _ _James Jones , aged— , was _char-ed , on Saturday with obtaining money _psSr lalse pretences . The caBe showed a deplorable amount of superstition and credulity . Mary Arsling a ¦ woman of respectable appearance , looking nearly thirty years ef age , deposed that , on the 23 rd of September last she went u * the prisoner ' s house to consult him , having heard from many persons that he was a very Clever fortune-tell -r , and could point out to persons those who in any way did them an injury . She saw the prisoner , and told him she had had a little loss . He told her "I know it—it ' s linen . " Witness told him it was not , -was money , amounting to 27 s . The prisoner then told her that if she could afford to give him 10 * . he would Show her the person who hid taken it reflected in a
glass . The next dav she went to his house and again aw the prisoner , who asked her if she had got the 10 s . Sbesaid "Yes , " and he then told her to put the money on what she considered to be a funeral pall . She put it there , and he then ordered her outof-the room . In two or three minutes the prison , * called » itness back into the room , and asked ber if she knew the party who haa taken the money . _gWitness told him _* o ; and be then took up ttree knives which were in the room , and pretended that he had cut his hand with one . He then took a glass fi * om under the funeral pall , and putting a candle before it , asked witness if thap was not the person . Witness looked at ttufglass , andjsaiv the head of a female in it ; but she told him she could swear to nobody . The prisoner then asked witness if she did not know the wretch , and told her Mr . Jones could do no more—Mr , Jones never told a lie , and shaking -witness by the
hand , he further said she should have her money again on tbe following day . "Witness had subsequently told ber master about it , who told her to take ont tbe warrant . Witness bad never bad tbe money back . —A young -woman who had accompanied the last witness to the prisoner 6 hovise , eorifoboratedher evidence . When he showed her the glass , he asked if she did not see the beautiful creature who bad taken the money . Heard tt e prisoner tell Arsling to go home , and make herself quite satisfied ; that she would have her money returned to her at twelve O ' clock at night , that she would see his apparition , and that she must not be frightened ofa spirit . He also told them that he had sold himself to the Devil , that he had nineteen years more to serve , and then he should be gone . While they were ont of the room , tbey heard him say three times in an angry tone , and with an oath , "How
long jou are before jou come . Witness thought he was calling the person he promised to show them , —Policeman T 135 deposed to apprehending tbe prisoner on tbe -warrant . In the room in which the prisoner was he found the cards produced in a circle on the floor . Tiiere was a smaller circle within tbe first one , and within that some mould , and in the mould were the cards , and a piece of burned rag outside them . On tbe outside of tbe zing was a new Testament , and on the top of it a glass _^ gg- cot . Tlie prisoner , in answer to tlie charge , said lie was ready to return fhe money . He had at a great ex pense learned the art nnder an eminent and learned pro . fessor , and had practised it for four _yeara . He had also learned the mystery of the cards , and practised palmistry and the use of the planets , and he was not before aware that he was liable to punishment unless he practised ¦
w itchcraft . Mr . Clive said , if the case had relied alone n the evidence of the complainant , he would almost have doubted the prisoner had pretended to a knowledge lie could not possess , but that douht had been lemoved hy the evidence of the second witness ; and even had it not , it would have been altogether removed by the prisoner ' s present line of defence . Hh offence was a very _ ocrinnc < rao , _auxi it appeal cu from toe numerous letters _^ fo und athis lodgi ngs tha t he had been deceivi ng several servant girls , inducing them to part with tbeir very clothes off tbeir backs ia order to pay hi _> _a for tbe _infor-^ _nation he pretended to give them , A 3 tbe case before him was a very bad one , and fully made out by the evidence , he should commit the prisoner for three calendar months , with hard labour , aud if he was again brought before bim he wonld each time give bun the same punishment _.
GUILDHALL . A Mother seglected bt . hee Sons —On Monday , Mr . Horace ] Heatyard , a barrister , residing in Chatham Place , and director ofthe Agricultural Cattle Insurance Company , was summoned before Aldermen Wood and Gibbs , for the purpose of obtaining an order from them to compel him to contribute towards the support of his mother , now a claimant on the parish . It appeared that Mr . Meatjard ' s father died , leaving a large family unprovided for . The defendant , Mr . Horace Heatyard , and Ills brother , Charles _ileatyard , a surgeon , at Stafford , agreed to join together , and support their parent and brothers and sisters . The doctor , it was asserted , was to support bis mother , while defendant was to support the others . Since then some differeuces had arisen
between the brothers , and neither would contribute towards the support of tbeir parent , in consequence of which she was obliged to apply to the parish of Holy Cross and St , Giles's , Shropshire , and at the instance of the parish officers there the present proceedings were taken . Alderman Wood observed that whatever differences the brothers might have , still there was a moral and natural obligation which ) the defendant ought to comply with . The parish officers only asked 7 s . per week , and he thought it would be much better to confer ¦ with the parish officers , and come to some arrangement . The case was , however , entered into , but in consequence of the solicitor ' s clerk not being able to prove that Mr . Meatyard was in a position of life , and had the means of supporting bis mother , it iras dismissed .
MARYLEBOXE . riisi OccDEBENce . —Joseph Allen , ' in the " service of Messrs . Chaplin and Home , was charged with having caused the death of James Fuller , a child eight years of age . On Saturday last , about noon , between thirty and forty boys , among whom was deceased , were running across tbe _Edgware . Road , near Oxford Terrace , on their return from school . A van driven by the prisoner was passing along at the same time , when the unfortunate child was run against by one of the horses and knocked down , and received such injury that death terminated his sufferings in a _^ few hours after he was removed . It was further shown the prisoner was sober , and was driving steadily at tlie time . The prisoner was bailed to appear again at tbe Court on Wednesday . j
LAMBETH . Alexander and John Murray , the one 13 and the other 15 years of age , were brought before Mr . Elliott for final examination on a charge of stealing two gold watches and one silver watch , the property of Mr . Filluier , a pawnbroker in _Kennington Soad . From the evidence it appeared that Alexander , the youngest prisoner , was in tbe service of Mr . Fillmer , the prosecutor , as warehouse hoy , and having access to the plate closet , gave the two gold watches , which were pledges , to his brother , and when apprehended , the silver watch , also a pledge , was found upon him . The prisoners were both fully committed for trial .
John Stephens was charged with creating a considerable disturbance at JUarlboroug h House , Pcckham , on Monday night . John Attenbury , a porter at Marlborough House , _deposed that on the evening before , about seven o ' clock , the prisoner applied and was admitted into that establishment as a casual pauper , and was shown into the ward usually appropriated to casuals , but refused to stop there . He also refused to go out of the house , upon which witness sent for Mr . Evans , the relieving officer , who attended , and the prisoner was again shown into the receivi ng ward for casuals . The prisoner , after making " a considerable disturbance , left the house , but returned again at about half-past eleven ,
when he rang at tbe bell so violenly , and shook the iron gates so violently , as to break the former , asd very much alarmed the whole of the i nmates of Mr . Richard ' s private dwelling , and for this he gave him into custody . John Sarshell was called to corroborate the statement of the last witness . The prisoner charged this witness as being kept at Marlborough House by Mr . ; Richard * as a mere bully , and to coerce and hrowbeat the other paupers . He alsojsaid SareheU , though a native of Hamp . shire , and having no claim whatever upou the city of London , _wnsj kept as _^ a pauper for the " , lasi two years at the City expense . Tha prisoner also admitted that he himself had been in the same situation , but had gone out to work ia the coarse of the summer . Mr . Elliott
observed , that there could be no doubt that the prisoner bad conducted himself in a most improper manner , convicted him in the penalty of 20 s ., or in default of payment , to 14 days imprisonment . Theatbical _Fbamas . —Ext » _aordikabt Scene . —On Tuesday , Mr Wm . Broadwood , the stage manager , and Mr . Thomas Barry , the Clown' at _Astley _' Theatre , appeared before Mr . Elliott , to answer to a charge of having assaulted Mr . Joseph Welleni , a French gentleman , on Friday night last . The complainant , who had hut a very imperfect knowledge oftheBnglish lauguage , was accompanied by Mr . Wilton , a comedian , who acted as interpreter . From the statement of the complainant , it appeared that lie is the owner of a Russian dog , called "the dog ofthe Pyrenees , " and was engaged to play , with his animal , for Mr . Barry ' s benefit , at Astley ' s Theatre ,
on Friday nightlast . Having had but one short rehearsal with his dog on the _Wednesday previous , and hearing BO thingfrom Mr . Barry in the course of Friday evening he concluded that his services , as well as those of his do " , would be dispensed with on the occasion , and he went to bed . Between eleven and twelve o ' clock , howenr Mr . _Broadfoot came to his _lo-lgings accompanied _iy a police officer , andipsisted upon his going with _thtnl at once to tha theatre to perform tbe piece fo- which he had been engaged , and which had been announced in the bills . He ( complainant ) supposing he was bound to obey the mandate of the police , cons nted ; : _< ccordinjrly went to the theatre , and commenced the piece , hut for -want of properproperties he was unatle to finish it . ne
-went into tbe painting room , when a _backst of cold water was thrown over him , and he was attacked iu the most -violent manner by a number of persons . Mr . Broadwood giving the signal for attack . Mr . Bairy struck him several times about the head and face , and he ( the complainant ) _nltrsnataly rushed upou tlie stage with his person drenched with water , his lip cut , and after being seriously maltreated , Mr , Barry followed bim on ihe stage , and addressed the audience . The complainant ' s appeal t in- audience _srai confined to pom ting attention to the s ate of bis person and his tears , for be wept bitterly ; -while Mr . Barry , having a fluency of language which wtas well understood , had much the best of this part of the performance , as tb _« audience cheered him on , while t bej as _lgaatynisfcfltfc * Complainant , and the latter was

obliged quickly to retire and leave the theatre . In conclusion the complainant expressed his surprise at the defendant , Mr . Barrv , whom he had always treated as a friend _. and upon whom he hadbeen in the habit of lavishing large sums of money , in luncheons , dinners , & c . Mr . Wilton begged on his own part to say , that he had known Mr . Wellens . who had been a distingnished soldier , and bore the hig hest test imonials and decorations , for many years , and though he was somewhat excitable he believed that a more warm-hearted or kinder man did not e » ist . Mr . Barry and Mr . Broadfoot _deaied having
struck thecon- . plainant . Mr . Elliott observed that it wa 3 quite clear t at a violent attack and very disgraceful outrage had been committed on the person of the complainant . There could be no doubt also that Mr . Barry had taken a part in the assuulr , though not to the extent alleged , and under all the circumstances he advised tin parties to retire and see if they could not arrange the matter . The parties retired , and the result was that Mr . Barry agreed to pay the complainant £ 3 , in addition to the £ o for his engagement , and the latter having accepted these terms the warrants were dismissed _.
WORSHIP-STREET . Seeious Assault . —John Lacey _, a person of decent appearance , was charged with assaulting and wounding policeman Townsou . The constable was on duty at night in the Betbnal Green-road , when the defendant ' s wife came to bim , bleeding from a wound on the head , which she said had been inflicted with a poker by her husband , who was at home behaving like a madman . The witness took her to a surgeon to have the wound dressed , and then went with another constable to arrest the defendant , who had then taken out the window saah of _hisbedreom and threatened to throw the sash at them and smash them if they attempted to approach him . The witness , however , entered at the street door with the key which the wife had given him , and was mounting the
stairs , when tbe prisoner , then standing * at tbe top of them , holding something behind him , swore that he would shoot the first man who dared to come near him . The light of the police lanthern being turned upon biro , however , it was seen that be had not got firearms , but a poker , which he brandished about . The witness made a rush at bim , but received a tremendous blow from tbe poker , which laid his head open , and felled him to the ground , and afterwards several other blows . The defendant , instead of attempting any defence , very readily condemned his own misconduct . '' lam heartily sorry ( said he ) for what has happened . The policemen only did their duty , and I richly merit whatever may happen tome on account of this . " The magistrate remanded Mm for a week .

INAUGURATION OF TIIE CHARTIST _ASSEMBLY AND READING ROOM , 83 , DEANSTREET , SOHO . Theabove event was celebrated by a public soiree , on Monday evening , October the 12 th . A numerous and highly respectable assemblage of both sexes , sat down to an exeellont tea , after which , Mr . Thoinag Clarke , was unanimously called to . the chair , supported on his right and left by Messrs . Ernest Jones , Julian' Harney , and a galaxy of Chartist feminine beauty .
The Chairman said , it gave him great pleasure to preside oversuch a meeting . Institutions like this , were worthy the support of every Democrat , and he hoped this would meet with that support it so well merited . He held most sanguine expectations ofits success , from the _talest and energy engaged , in promoting its welfare , The Provinces , naturally looked up to London for examples , and he trusted in this respect they would not be disappointed , but that the men of this metropolis would act iu everyway worthy of themselves , and that our great movement might thus be propelled onwards , with more than railway celerity . ( Loud cheers , } From the fine feeling now abroad , he had the most lively anticipations of yet living to see democracy triumphant .
( Much applause . ) If by our exertions areonly returned twelve good men and true , exponents of our views and wishes to the Commons house of Parliament , what an impetus would it not give to our cause , and he knew of no means better calculated to promote that object and democracy generally , than the opening of Institutions similar to the present . ( Great applause . ) Everyman , aye , and woman , too ( however mean they might be in their own estimation ) , had a circle of their own , which they could influence , and it was their duty to use that influence , in forwarding the cause in which they were now engaged . ( Hear , hear . ) It might be said we had already plently of Mechanics' institutions and reading rooms ; true we had several places bearing that
name , but they were not used by mechanics , but their benefits fell to the middle classes generally . This might in some measure be the fault of the working classes , however , here was an Institution peculiarly for them , and it was their own fault if tiiey did not- enjoy all those rights and immunities it was so well calculated to confer . ( Loud cheers . ) A sum far less than that spent by too many in a far less reputable way , would carry it to a trium phant issue . ( Great cheering . ) He congratulated the working men of this country , that notwithstanding the oft repeated tyrannical stretches of power , and the stringency of the laws , that
they had tbeir liule _Gliartist garris . n in every town of importance throughout theeountrv , ready to take advantage of every movement that might occur . ( Cheers . ) Doyle was now travelling through Scotland , promulgating the great truths of democracy , and himself and Mr . M'Grath were about to start south and west , and ere long the country would be roused east , west , north and south , in favour of the " _Rij-hts of Man , " as recorded in the People ' s Charter —( Much applause )— -and although a portion of the press might yet be silent , the voice of a united people should yet conduct to a triumphant issue . ( Immense applause . )
Mr . Ernest Jones then _delivered an eloquent and truly poetical address , which was mueh applauded . Julian Harney also briefly addressed the meetiii" _-. Several songs and recitations were then given by the Whitehorn famil y , and Messrs . Robbins _, ' Stallwood , Ford , M _' _Lellan , Simmonds , and others . A ball concluded the entertainments of the evening .

BOROUGH OF GREENWICHA large concourse-of persons assembled at the Lord High Admiral , Deptford , to hear an address from Mr . Ernest Jones , on " Famine , its cause and remedy , " on Wednesday evening , the 15 th of October ; , Mr . John Gathard was unanimously called to tbe chair , and said , that famine was nothing new among 4 the working classes , however much wealth there might be in the country , but a very small share of it fell to the producers ; and as regards it being a Divine visitation the fact of its not reaching the
socalled higher classes was its best refutation ; it would be much more proper in his ( Mr . Jones ' s ) estimation % o ascribe it to class legislation , aa the inequality of representation created many consumers , and as a matter of course decreased the producers of wealth . And the best and must efficient mode of preventing famine for the futture would be , to extend the franchise to the whole male adult population of the United Kingdom . The address was loudly applauded throughout , and at the close a unanimous vote of thanks was awarded by acclamation to the lecturer , and also to the chairman , which wa _<» suitably acknowledged , when the meeting quietly dispersed .

Marvellous Railway Incident. On Monday L...
MARVELLOUS RAILWAY INCIDENT . On Monday last , October 12 a gentleman of the name of Parker , of Sydenham , Kent , was travelling by the mail-train from Derby to London _. in a first-class carriage : 'his only companion being a gentleman about 30 years of age , remarkably handsome and perfectly gentlemanly in his appearance and manners . After some preliminary conversation , he requested to _liaye the window kept open , and offered Mr . Parker his wrapper if he felt inconvenienced by the cold . Other _conversation ensued , and he stated that he once possessed a large fortune which he had squandered - that he had now retired from the army , and had not been so happy for a long period as at that moment ; adding that some friend had given him £ 1 , 100 to pay his debts , and £ 500 more to buy furniture ; and that the first thing he intended to do
was to buy a dressing-case , which would cost him 35 guineas , which Mr . Parker remarked he thought would be a great pity , as no doubt he already possessed one . After some further conversation , which began to alarm Mr . Parker , he suddenly dropped on his knees and in a most energetic and fervent manner prayed for his friends the Dukes of Beaufort and Wellington , and more particularly that his dear mother , who had died in his infancy , should appear , « fec . After rising from his knees he exclaimed to Mr . _Pai-Jcer , "Did you hear a noise ? You must have heard that God was speaking to me . " At the same moment a train passed , the engine of which he declared to be hell . Mr . Parker by this time being greatly alarmed tried in vain to sooth him ; his only repl y was , " Have you repented of your sins ? " at the same
time throwing oft his boots , c _<> at _, and shirt , with his gold watch , _ch- 'in _, and seals ; he began to slap Mr . Parker in the face , exclaiming , "You must come along with me . '" and thrusting his own head through the window he cut his head and neck in a most shocking manner , and was soon covered with blood _, lie then returned with double fury and beat Mr . Parker about the head and face severelv . Expecting to be murdered every moment , Mr . " Parker entreated him ( in order to gain time ) to pray a _^ ain which he instantly did , while Mr . Parker , at ' the imminent risk of his life , opened the door and made his way to the next carriage , where there was only one gentleman , who , having heard all that had passed , helped him in and shut the door . They had scarcely done this when the madman appeared
en-, deavouring to force his way in also , and it required the united efforts of both to keep him out , so he returned to hH carriage . This happened near the Watford station . Frequent and _unavailfng appeals were made to the guard for assistance , stating that a gentleman was dying , and the reply was that , being liter their time they could not stop ,: as the Manchester train was close behind them . This , however , was no excuse for the guard not goin _<* to the carriage to ascertain what was the matter . ° A 11 Mr . Parker knows further of his strange companion is , that the guard of a following train saw a man in a state of nudity running by the side ot the road , which can only be accounted for by his having thrown him-elf off the train , which was then going at an increased speed .
# Additional Particuxaks . — -On Tuesday , the lunatic was found by some labourers , in a field between Notting Hill and Kensall-green , and by them taken into custody , alter much resistance .

IJe gave his address as " Oshpnie Markham , 9 i , Mount-street , _TJerkeley-sqiihie . " His friends having been apprised of his condition , removed him to his lodgings in Mount-street . The strictest secrecy has been maintained by all parties conceded with _checase _. as to who Mr . Ostiorne is ; _-and the motives and causes which led to his extraordinary conduct , but there is every reason to believe that ho is highly connected , that lie is related to a noble duke , uncle to a marquis , and tlie brother of a titled lady .

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . The Professor ot chemistry at the above-named establishment . Dr . John Ryan has been _engaged during the _part week , in delivering a series of lectures Endioinetry and ventilation , as applicable to buildings , _dwellings , and ships . Public instructions on matters so important to the health of tlie community at large ought always to be received with satisfaction . We are quite assured that no one could attend Dr . Ryan ' s lectures without receiving so much condensed information as to enable him by means of the usual apparatus to ascertain the purity
or impurity of any atmosphere in which he _miuht be placed . The varieties of eudiometers were all carefully explnint-d by the learned gentleman , nnd the proper formu _' ic for calculating the amount of oxygen as well as a watery vapour and carbonic acid were most simply communicated . The principles of ventilation , recently so warmly contested , were also very carefully and philosophically explained so as to meet the comprehension of the most ignorant among the audience . We trust these lectures , so well adapted for the instruction of the numerous class of visitors who visit this truly admirable institution will be continued for some time .
