The Conference met this morning at nine o ' clock when the roll was called over and all the delegates found to he present . The minutes of the previous day were rend over and confirmed . _After a lengthened discussion and argument it was resolved ,
1 st . —That tbis Conference , believing tbat a National Union of the Great body of miners , is the only remedy for the manifold evils that press upon tbat nsefal class of men , deem it expedient to establish suet a union , under the denomination of the Miners' National _Association of Great Britain . 2 nd . —The following preamble and objects were then passed to be appended to the general laws . Preamble . —That to the warfare of classes may be safely ascribed all tbe evils wbich in the shape of poverty , _misary _, and starvation , afflict the working classes of this country ; tbis is so apparent aud so obviou ? , tbat no successful contradiction need be apprehended therefrom .
The miners of every district have araple and sorrowful experience of the truth ofthe above statement and its effects , which even when locally felt are of such magnitude and extent as to surprise and alarm those parties _accsstomed to reflect npon the ultimate results which the absence of union and concert among the working miners mast ensure . Is is therefore the determination of the Conference to raise the _standard of a National Uuion among the minsrs of this country , and to bring about a
general and correct feeling among that useful body of men ; to erase the bickering , the hatred , and the jealousy which has f 0 long prevailed , and to create a healthy harmony of action and a brotherly feeling of doty to each other , both locally and general , the Association having for its objects the elevation and _mprovement of the working collier ; to procure for bim a more healthy and tafe atmosphere to work in ; to shorten the hours of labour ; to diminish the excessive toil ; and to obtain the best possible remuneration for ihe _labsur of the miner .
Objects . —The General _National Association being only for general purposes , it will be necessary to specify what may be so considered , that is to saytoe regulation of the miner ' s day ' s work ; the wages to be earned per week ; the state of the coal trade in each district how many days per week has been the average for the last half-year ; what quantity of coals are worked in the district , and how many tons per week each man works ; what are the number of men employed in getting or hewing coal ; also , ns h & fore stated , to take cognizance of the operation of " The Mines' _Inspection Bill ; " to take any necessary step 3 to prevent strikes of an imprudent character ; ia short , to do all iri its power to make themselves , and the members generally ,
acquainted with thc real state and condition of their brother miners , and to bring about , as speedily as possible , a harmonious and brotherly . feeling among all miners , to promote their mutual benefit and advantage , and to endeavour to prove to their em-• ployers , and the community at large , that while onr objects are to procure a fair day ' s wage for our "health-destroying labour , yet , we are also desirous that the _capitalist shall be renranerated for his ri _^ k , and that eaeh party bas but to understand each other to ensure to both that mutual relief so desirable _, and so _necessary to the healthy existence of the coal trade . Also to encourage the co-operation principle ; and endeavour to work for ourselves instead of for others .
3 rd . —That an address be drawn up and appended to the minutes and General Laws , _explaining each law and drawing the attention of the Associated Miners to the necessity of strictly carryinsr out the principles of such Laws;—That Messrs Daniells , Oughton , and Jude , be hereby appointed to draw up tsach addresses . -4 th , —The following General Laws were then passed : — I . —That any Miner joiningthis Association , shall become subject to the rules and provisions legally and constitutionally made and adopted by the proper authorised parties , as stated in subsequent rule , ( see rule 2 nd . ) and shall faithfully adhere to tiie same , and assist in promulgating and extending the bevevolent objects of tbe society to all his brother miners and fellow-workmen .

The lecturer grap hically depicted the present degraded condition of the masses , showing that while the material wealth of the country had greatly increased , the material comforts ot the people had rapidly diminished . He maintained that the present prosperity was only temporary : that from evident causes , which he pointed out , a reaction was inevitable , and that , so long as the great majority of the people were compelled to depend , almost exclusively , upon manufacturers for employment , destitution , misery , and crime would increase . He pointed to the land as a sure remedy for the present anomalous state of things ,
and dwelt upon the necessity for union amongst the working classes , so as to obtain political power , and enable them to free the land from the unjust restrictions which had led to , and perpetuated its possession in the hands of a few individuals . At tbe close of the lecture a question was asked by Mr . A . Burns , regarding tlie failure of Mr . O'Connor ' s Land Plan , which Mr . Jones answered to the evident satisfaction of all present .

MR . KYDD'S LECTURE AT NOTTINGHAM . Mr . Kydd delivered a lecture in the Town Hall , on the llth inst ., on " Revolutions , their causes and effects . " On the motion of Mr . Lee , se-: conded by Mr . Oldknow , Mr . James Sweet was unanimously called upon to preside . In commencing , the lecturer said , whilst he might have occasion to refer to certain circumstances in the history of nations , he should only allude to them with a view of elucidating a general question of importance ; but he had no desire to prop up any party at th © expense of truth , and no wish to have the sentiments he uttered valued beyond the calm and deliberate judgment that intelligent and reasoning men mig ht think tbem worth . Great events gave rise to great thoughts , and tended to develope great
characters . Men of the most advanced minds—men of the greatest experience—wero capable , in the midst of civil commotion and trouble , and in all turmoil , to judge f airly of causes and effects . The most important revolution which history had recorded was , in his opinion , the great French revolution of 1789 . Modern revolutionary history was dated from that great revolution ; and if they wished to understand the causes of that revolution , they must look for them far back in French history ; they must trace the troubled waters to the fountain head , and they mig ht then discover why it was that the great French revolution of 1789 had been so fertile a subject of general discussion , and why men of extraordinary ability had entertained and
promulgated opinions directly opposed to each other , as to the cause and effects , and the worth or worthlessness of such revolutions . France , like all other European nations , had in her time been feudal in her theory of government and institutions , and feudal in her social institutions . The general devclopemenfc of industry in France gave rise , inevitably , to a change of circumstances , that demanded at the hands of government and the leaders of the people , important changes in her laws and institutions . France , in the reign of Louis the Eleventh , was purely feudal—France , in the reign of Louis the Fourteenth , though not feudal in the spirit and genius of her people , was eminently despotic in the theory and tendency of her
government . Louis the Fou rteenth governed France as with a rod of iron ; his will was law , the nobility bowed to his influence , and supported and honoured his throne . During the reign of Louis the Fourteenth , France might bo socially described thus : two-thirds of the landed property were owned by the nobility ; one-third of the landed property was owned by peasant proprietors ; tho nobility paid but comparatively few taxes , and the great weight of taxation fell mainly on the . shoulders of tlio laborious and ¦ industrious peasantry and farmers . The game-laws , too , were a grievous source of trouble ; herds of wild boars and wild hares roamed at large ; the farmer was not allowed to cut his grass in the hay season without the consent of
his landlord , for fear he should destroy partridges ' eggs ' * ; anu it was not an unfrequent occurrence in France , for the peasant-farmer , having sowed seed in spring time , with a hope of reaping in harvest , to discover thafc his year ' s industry had been ruined , that his wheat had been trampled down , that his oats had been eaten up , and that , instead of having a provision for the long and dreary months of winter , he had been despoiled of the wherewith to sustain his family , to pay his liabilities , and to keep himself in the position of society to which he thought he had an indisputable claim . _Oppression was one great source of revolution . ( Hear , hear . ) Man was not naturally a revolutionist ; the farmer did not willingly leave his fields and lay aside the
sickle to wield the broad sword and study military tactics . Oppression bogot revolution ; injustice , on the part of the rich , towards the poor , was one of the leading causes of revolution . ( Hear , hear . ) Duties long neglected gave rise to social evils that every day augmented , that every day increased ; and these begot in their turn , other social , other moral , and other political evils , until men , who ought to exist in tho natural relation of friends , met each other in the hostile relation of enemies ; and if the rich men of any country—whether it were France , whether it were England , whether it wero Hungary , whether it were Rome , or whether it were Prussia—desired to avoid revolution , they should learn that property had its duties as well as
its rights . Demagogues did not alone make revolutions ; large meetings did not alone make revolutions ; they wero only the effects springing from a deep-rooted and : latent cause ; and governments would act wisely , if they looked to the evil at jts source , rather than attempt to coerce ifc in its strength ; they would act more wisely , if , instead of trusting to gaols , and dungeons , and soldiers , for the groundwork of thoir power , they taught the rich men of the state to perform their duty towards their fellow-men , and particularly that all property was held in trust , that no man lived for himself alone—( cheers)—and that there was a link indestructible , which never could bo annihilated , that bound the human family together as one vast deeprooted brotherhood ; and if men could not in virtue ,
and in virtuous action , uphold their influence , a question of life and death would teach thafc reality which reason had forgotten . ( Applause . )—[ At the finish of this sentence the well-known voice of a violent Red Republican , named Harrison , exclaimed to the representatives of tho press , ' 'Report that , if you don't anything else . " ]—The lecturer , on re suming , apologised for digressing a moment , but ho wished to observe , that he had never had occasion to complain of the press of this country . On many occasions he had been reported more fully than speakers whose social influenco was much higher than his own ; and he ventured to say , that if there were an indecency more improper than another—if there were an ignorance more manifest than another —if there were a weakness of intellect more
remarkable than another—it was thafc impatience which begot rudeness , whether it were in a child of fifteen , or in a grey haired man of sixty . ( Applause . ) Having alluded to tho division in the French church , caused by the unequal division of its property , as another cause of tho great revolution of 1789 , the lecturer briefly alluded to the reign of Louis the Fifteenth , who , he said , although called " Tho Grand Monarch , " was more- ' conspicuous for his vices than his virtues . At ' nis _^ eath Louis tho Sixteenth ascended thfe _*^^ _M | _pPrance under circumstances which _led'iffi _^^ plo of that country to expect great things ' _fniiEnTBiin . He was in the bloom of youth , and married to a princess of extraordinary beauty , and endowed with fine powers of mind ; but , unfortunately , Marie Antoinette had
been taught , from hor cradle , that she was born to rule . The lecturer briefl y narrated the events which led the French people first to distrust their king , and afterwards to depose him , and reinstate the Bourbons . The king ( said the speaker ) was beheaded , not for his crimes ; but he was a sacrifice to misgoverned ages . Marie Antoinette was beheaded , not because of any strong propensity to evil in her own nature , but beca uso she had been mistaughfcas regarded tho value of government , and the power of a prince . The lecturer having , in glancing over tho historical records of France , referred to the restoration of the Bourbon family , and the elevation of Louis Phili ppe to the throne , his deposition ; and tho reign of Napoleon , his dethronement ; and tho restoration of Louis Philippe , and lastly , his fall , and tho establishment of a Republic—a government , however . having only the
name of Republic , for the rule of Napoleon Buonaparte , tho President of tho Republic , was even more despotic than tho reign of . the Frenoh kings . Tho speaker contrasted tho French revolutions , —which wero progressive—with the English revolution , whicli was not caused by the agitation of new theories , but was caused by the wish of the people to return to tho usages of ancient times . The Great English Revolution of 1688 , was not a revolution of class against class , of sect against sect , of artisans in opposition to merchants and manufacturers ; but it was a revolution " against despotism and a cabal of Jesuits on the one hand , and narrowminded prejudice of a king on tho other . Speaking of the rights of man-rMr . Kydd said , they did not ask for equality of property , but they did ask for a due distribution of wealth ; they de-

mand _?;^ that the rights all should protected . _Alluding * to the alleged prosperity of England he remarked , that they had heen told that because the Corn Laws had been repealed the prosperity of the country had greatly increased . Ho asked , where were the proofs of this ' prosperity ? Pauperism was said to be so much less last year than the year beforo . . But how much more was it now that in the year 1839 ? Nearly one million and a half . Yes ; the cost of maintaining the poorer portion of the population ofthe United Kingdon was nearly a million and a half more than it was in 1839 ; yet during tbe lapse of these ten years the increase of the railway property of the country had been incalculable _, and _durin-2 * the lapse of these ten years
the industry of the country had been developed to an amazing extent , * but the condition of the working classes had not been _proportionally _™ R _MV ( 80 _* ( Hear , hear . ) It was a miserable state of national solveney thafc did not give with _™ crea fn d .. _* f _™ " " _tages , increased comforts and privileges to the peooil . ( Cheers . ) Tho rich had increased in their luxuries , and the poor in their wan ts . _(^ ar , hear . ) Sir Charles Wood , n a recent speech had said , sums inoalculable had been spent in railways and had increased our physical power as a nation ; that Se wealth of the country had rapidly _™«™*« d , and taxation had been nominally reduced ; but the increase of plenty had not been m the same nronortion to the poor as it had been to the rich .
This crab-like improvement then Had given rise to two extremes : the extreme of wealth and luxury oa the one hand , and of penury and poverty on the other . ( Cheers . ) M . Thiers had said that all sooial questions should he discussed , " Discuss , discuss , discuss ; reason , reason , reason ; ' and he ( Mr Kydd ) advised them not to tako free trade as a panacea for all their ills , they should discuss its merits , and understand its bearings . They were told that poverty was allied to labour . Ho denied it ; it was the law of God that , " tho ox that treadeth out the corn shonld eat thereof ; " ifc was the law of God thafc , " the labourer was worthy of his hire ; " it was the law that , " he who toileth in the vineyard , should have a share in the produce ;"
it was the law of God , that" he who wdrkefch not , neither should he eat . " ( Loud cheers . ) The speaker , after cautioning tbe people from being led away from the discussion of these great questions by surface politicians , and thafc revolution was not a remedy for social wrongs , finished with the well known lines of Goldsmith , " 111 fares the land , to hastening ills a prey , Where wealth accumulates and men decay , " amidst the cheers of an attentive and delighted audience . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer , and to the Mayor for the use of the hall ; also on the motion of Mr .

The Frimley Murder. — Examination
THE FRIMLEY MURDER . — _EXAMINATION
OF TIIE PRISONERS . Guildford , Friday . — Levi Harwood , James Jones , Samuel Harwood , and Hiram Sminh , were brought up for re-examination this day . So little suspicion had three of thorn of the fact of the fourth having confessed , that one ofthe former ,. Jones , during a temporary adjournment of tho proceedings , actually joked with a bystander on the subject of his confinement in the gaol . The evidence of the witnesses did not differ from that already given . _Superintendent Hollixoion said , by the desire of Smith I had an interview with him on Sunday last . —[ Levi Harwood here directed a piercing glance towards Smith , who kept his eyes fixed upon the
ground , and appeared anxious to avoid observation . ]—Mr . Ilollmgton : Smith asked to see one of the reward bills . As I had not got one with me , Mr . Keene produced the "Hueand Cry . " I afterwards sent for a bill , which the prisoner read himself . After doing so he asked mo to explain the meaning of the word '• accomplice , " and what was meant by a free pardon for any person who did not actually fire the shot ? I told him he must use his own judgment as to what it meant . He asked me whether the terms of the bill would be acted up to if he was to " peach ? " Mr . Keene and myself both told hira that he had got the bill before him , and he must use his own judgment . He then said he knew it was plain enough in tho bill , and hehad made up his mind to make a statement .
Levi Harwood and the other prisoners exhibited much uneasiness at this juncture , and looked fiercely towards Smith . Mn . Kee . ve then handed in a written document , dictated to himself by Smith , which Mr . Makopeace read , as follows : —• ' On the 27 th of September last , being Friday night , myself with other persons now in custody , named James Jones , Levi Harwood , and Samuel Harwood , were at Frimley _^ and broke into Mr . Hollest ' s house by taking out a bar . I entered first , and Levi Harwood second . With a worm Levi Harwood bored two holes in the frame of the door leading to tho kitchen , and pushed back the bolt witb his knife , and then myself , Jones , and Levi Harwood went in and there looked about , Levi
Harwood then opened a work-box , and took 2 s . from it . We then all three of us went into the sitting-room , and Levi Harwood and Jones searched while I held the candle , and there found a silver hunting-watch and a small old-ftshioned gold one . We then went into another room , and I don ' t know what was taken from there . They then went down into the pantry whilo I stood in the passage . It was then about half-past two o ' olock .. I thon went out and fetched Samuel Harwood in . Three of us then went upstairs—myself , Jones , and Levi Harwood went into a bedroom and removed three ladies ' dresses—two out of the drawers and ono from the bedstead . There was no one sleeping in that room . We then eame down stairs . and put on the masks .
Myself and Jones put on the green ones which were produced last Saturday , and Levi Harwood put on a white one , and a white ' Giiernsey ovev his waistcoat . Jones put on a large cloak whioh was hanging in the passage , and I put on one likewise . The cloaks belonged to the house . We then all four of us went up stairs . Jones went first with a pistol in his right hand , Levi Harwood second , with a pistol in his right hand , whicb he loaded on tho road to Frimley . He loaded both pistols with marbles . Jones first , Levi Harwood second , and myself third , hero entered Mr . Hollest ' s room , whilo Samuel Harwood stood at the door with a screw-driver in his hand . Levi Harwood then said 'Lay still , mv good woman , or else I will blow your brains out . * ' He waa standing at the foot of the bed at this time . Mrs . Holiest instantly got from her bed , and Jones being on her side of tho bed , Levi Harwood at tbe foot of the bed , and myself against Mr . Hollest ' s of
side the bed , when Mrs . nollesfc got out of bed Jones took hold of her and thurst her up in tho corner of the room on her own side of the bed Mr . Holiest jumped out of bod and went to take hold of Levi Harwood , when he ( Levi Harwood ) Immediately fired the pistol at Mr . Holiest and I took the gold watch from off tho stand in the room and we all four thon ran down stairs . Wo were in the room for about five minutes .

Murderous Assault.—A Most Horrible Assau...
MURDEROUS Assault . —A most horrible assault was committed on Thursday evening upon Mr . Capplestone , landlord ofthe Queen-square Tavern , Burton street , Bath , and also upon his wife , by a man named Ogle Wallis . It appears that for the last month Ogle Wallis has been lodging afc this house , and on the evening in question he was met by Mr . Copplestone coming down stairs with his portmanteau , who suspecting that he was about to quit tho house detained hini , and insisted that he should not leave until he had paid his bill . An altercation ensued , when Wallis struck the
landlord a blow on the head with his walking stick , and then drawing a razor from his pocket commenced a savage and most desperate onslaught upon him , cutting him dreadfully on tho head and face . The cries of tho wounded , man brought his wife to his assistance , when Wallis attacked her also , indicting a cut about an inch and a half long on her forehead , a deep gash under the left eye , and another on the forefinger of her lott hand ; he then left the house , but was soon afterwards arrested . Mr ,, Copplestone was taken to the hospital , where , in addition to numerous wounds , in was discovered that one of his thumbs was nearly cut off . The wounds , however , are not likelyf to prove fatal .
Bckied Awvjb . —On Thursday morning information was sent to Mr . Bedford , the coroner for Westminster j ? of the death of a man named Michael Cushion . Deceased was at work with others at a house iu South Audley-street , and employed in digg ing out a large quantity of earth for the purpose of enlarg ing the foundation . He had undermined a considerable way , when another man got on the top of tho ground under which he was at work , and the whole mass gave way . He was completely buried underneath an immense mass of ground , the other man falling with it on him . As soon as assistance could be obtained he was dug out , insensible and mucb injured . He was taken to St . George ' s Hospital , and after lingering for a time , expired , in consequence of internal injury .
. Explosion of _FiRE-DAMP .--Early on the morning of Tuesday , as the men at the " Trough '' colliery , near the Nine Locks works , Brierley-hill , were about to commence work , an explosion of gas took place , by which five men , named Joseph Attwood , Benjamin Shaw , Joseph Wehb , Uriah Capewell , and Joseph Shakspere , were more or less burnt , though not dangerously . The accident occurred through the carelessness of the latter person , he having very inconsiderately taken a lighted candle into that portion of the pit ( a gate road ) , where the gas had generated , without first using the safety lamp . —Worcestershire Chronicle . . Another Death from the Fall op the Chimney AT NOTTINGIIAM DURING THE GALE OF MOHDAY WEEK .
—On Tuesday evening an inquest was held on the body of Mary Dyer , aged twenty-four , who , while looking on at Wombwell ' s shows , was buried under the rubbish of the falling' materials , and when released was conveyed to the General Hospital , where she died on Saturday last from the injuries she had received . The deceased resided at Derby , but had come over to Nottingham to visit her relations and the fair . She was on her way to pay some rent for her parents at the time the accident occurred , but attracted by the sight of tho wild beast vans she stopped and met with the fate above described , in common with a lad whose death we reported at the time of its taking place ,
The Liverpool Plate Robberies . —The prisoners Mag " uire and Sirrell were brought up on Thursday before Mr . Rushton , and discharged by him , Mr .

Marlborough-Street.—Picking A Lady's Poc...
_MARLBOROUGH-STREET . —Picking a Lady ' s Pocket . —Thomas Williams , one of the swell mob , was charged with picking a lady ' s pocket of a purse , containing a half-crown and a sixpence . — Mr . Francis W . Westmacott , of No . 14 , South Audley-street , deposed that on Saturday evening ho and his mother were coming out of tho Exhibition of the Overland Mail in Regent-street , when he saw the prisoner put his hand into his mother ' s pocket , and take out her purse , with which he ran off . Witness pursued him into Regent-street , when he saw the prisoner throw tho purse away . A constable stopped the prisoner until witness came up , when he gave him in charge . —Mrs . Westmacott identified the property , and a policeman deposed to apprehending the prisoner , who was committed for trial .
SOUTHWARK . —An "Infernal Machine . "Mr . East , a-morocco leather manufacturer , _Xos . 214 , and 215 , Bermondsey-sfcreet , accompanied bv Mr . Superintendent Haynes , M division , waited on Mr . A'Beckett for the purpose of apprising him ofa diabolical attempt to mutilate or otherwise injure the son of the former gentleman by mean 3 of an oval wooden box filled with combustible materials , and sent through the Post-office . —Mr . East said that while he and his son , a young man about twenty-two years of age , were in the countinghouse , the foreman brought in an oval box made of wood , addressed to Mr . Frederick East , with two shillings' worth of postage stamps on the lid of it . The foreman in handing tho box over to applicant ' s
son shook ifc , and made thc remark that ifc sounded as if ifc was filled with sand . Applicant ' s son surveyed it for some time and then took out his knife with the view of prizing up the lid , when applicant advised him to be cautious in the operation , and this caution was rendered the more necessary , as on the lid being partially raised a small quantity of gunpowder fell on the desk . Water was now poured through the aperture , so as to neutralise the effects of any combustible ingredient which it might contain , and the lid having been removed without danger , tlie inside of the box , which might well be termed an "infernal machine , " was exposed to view . It contained nearly a pound of the finest gunpowder , with irregular pieces of lead , and just
underneath the lid wero a number of lucifer matches and sand paper , placed in such a position that tbe last violence used in prizing up the top of tho box must lead to an explosion . Upon this discovery applicant lost no time in communicating the circumstance to Mr . Haynes , the superintendent of the M division . The chief object he now had in view in attending at this court was to describe the particulars , so that they mi ght obtain publicity through tbe medium of the press , and put people on their guard , —Mr , Superintendent Haynes said that upon receiving the above information he despatched a policeman to the Post-office , in order to ascertain if the person who had left the box there could be identified . The reply , however , was that the box
was deposited there in tho usual way amongst thousands of other letters and parcels , and that the per- 1 son who left ifc was not known or even seen by any of those employed in that particular department . Some suspicion attached to a person whose name at present it was necessary not to divulge , and that he ( the superintendent ) was still following up the investigation , to discover , if possible , the real offender . GUILDHALL . —The Robbebt in Paterxoster-Row . —Eliza Paul appeared , in discharge of her recognisances , before Alderman Hooper , to answer a charge of robbery committed upon Capt . Bailey , a short time since in Paternoster-row . —Police-constable 2 S 2 stated that he had seen Captain Bailey since he took prisoner into custody , and that the
captain would not identify her _.-i-The Alderman said under these circumstances there was no case against her , and he should immediately discharge her . —John Paul , the husband of the prisoner , here stepped forward , and said he could not help complaining of the neglect with which his wife and he had been treated . Sho was taken into custody late on Saturday night , about ; the time he had appointed to meet her in Trafal gar-square . She was detained at the station-house from half-past ten on Saturday night until about six on Sunday evening , without being allowed to communicato with her husband , or any steps taken to give Captain Bailey an opportunity of identifying her . Ho did not , however , complain of the treatment sho received individually at the station , but he could not tell why she was detained in custody , and ultimately required to enter into her own recognisances to appear at this court , after Capt . Bailev had been confronted by her face
to face , and he had distinctly stated that sho was not tho woman who robbed him . Tbe authorities at first declined to send to Captain Bailey , so that nothing could be done till Monday morning . They were even about to detain her all night , and requested him to fetch a blanket and pillow for his wife ' s accommodation , aud that , too , after Captain Bailey had said she w . _* is not the female he had been in company with . He was a poor man , and perhaps would not be in a position to press this case any further ; but at all events ho would ask the alderman to grant him a hearing at a future day when he would bring up the female who accompanied his wife , who would prove that his wife never accosted any gentleman on the evening in _question .-Alderman Hooper said that ho would be happy to give him a hearing at any time . However , in common fairness to tho late prisoner , ho thought it 3 er to observe hat she left this court without the slightest stain upon her character

The prison who wept very bitterly , said she got but seven r ' things for each , and sho had to work early and iff * to make three in a day—Mr .

Ingham , _Uq , derstanding that the husband of the prisoner wmC _^
attendance , ordered him to be called in , and at th same time asked the prosecutrix within what period the shirts ought to be returned ? She replied they ought to have been sent home that morning . _—j _^ Ingham ( to the husband ) : It has been proved thai your wife has pawned without authority several articles to the amount of 7 s . 6 d . Husband : lam aware of it , sir , but it was through deep distress Ifc was done under the impression that she could * get them out again . —Mr .

Can you do it in a week ? Yes , sir . —Mr . Ingham - Then you must enter into recognisances for vour Wife ' s appearance . As to the pawnbrokers . _tho _»
do not deserve any mercy , as they take in goods from parties who they well know have no authority to pledge them , and I shall never , in cases of con . viction , give one penny . back . Since the hearing of this case several letters containing donations for Rosina Herbert have been forwarded to Jlr Ingham , the sitting magistrate . As a gentleman " who declined to give his name , handed a letter con ' taining a donation for the poor sempstress . _j [ r " Yardley said , " You have brought a donation f 0 j Rosina Herbert . Say I have received it , and wi ] i hand ifc over to Mr . Ingham , before whom the caso was heard . This is the twenty-fourth letter I have received this morning , in connexion with the case yet it is probable that each contributor fancies him '
self the only donor . I should be sorry in any way to check the expression of benevolence , nor shoulr j I undertake to prescribe how it should he exercised but- many cases occur here of equal severity , though ' they have nofc the luck to attract so much atten . tion as this case gained by being accidently re . ported . I must at the same time observe that I have considerable doubt of the policy of the pro . priety of forwarding donations to persons whose wants obtain notoriety through the commission of offences . The tendency of such a proceeding would undoubtedly be to give encouragement to breache _* of the law . ' There are hundreds of persons in this neighbourhood who suffer as much , perhaps more , than this person , and yet who struggle through ,
their difficulties without a violation of the law , aad who , if they could be found out , would be more deserving objects of bounty and compassion . I hope my remarks , if they are worth anything , will reach those benevolent persons . Mr . Yardley also stated that he bad received upwards of £ 20 for tho same person . —Rosina Herbert surrendered on Friday to abide the decision of Mr . Ingham . —ilr , Thomas Ruthven , in the employment of Messrs . Favell and Bousfield , wholesale clothiers , No . 20 , St . Mary Axe , stated that the prisoner had worked for the firm up to the 25 th of August , 1849 , on which day she was brought before Mr . Yardley at this court , charged with pawning several articles of wearing apparel which had been entrusted to her making up . —The result of the inquiry was that Mr . Ingham sentenced the prisoner to pay 8 s ., the amounfc _^ for _^ which the _ articles had been pawned ,
and a further sum of 10 s , penalty , in default of which to be imprisoned with hard labour for twenty one days . I must now tell you ( added the magistrate ) that since your case was last before me several benevolent persons have sent in monies for your use , amounting to the sum of £ 43 , not one singla 6 d . of which shall I apply to your benefit . —Afcer some further remarks the prisoner was removed . — Just before the court closed , Mr . Ingham ordered Rosina Herbert to be again brought before liim , and , addressing her , said—Soine kind person having heard your case has forwarded an order payable to yourself in your own name , saying ifc was intended for the payment of your fine . As ifc has been sent in your name , I suppose it is intended that you should do with ifc as you think proper . It is expressly stated to be sent for the payment of your fine , so that you are now at liberty to go . She then left the court in a very desponding state .
