Imperial Parliament. Thursday, Feb. 22. ...
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . THURSDAY , Feb . 22 . HOUSE OF LORDS . — Conveyance of Real ProperttAct Amexdmext Bill . —On the motion of Lord Brougham this bill was read a third tunc and passed . The Ixlaxd Retexue Bill was read a second time , on the motion of Earl Graxville . Slave Trade . — The Bishop of Oxford then moved , pursuant to notice , for the appointment of a committee of their Lordships ' Ilouse , to take into consideration the best means which Great Britain can adopt for the final extinction of the African Slave Trade . Their lordships then adjourned .
HOUSE OP COMMONS . _—AonicuLTCHAL _distress . —Mr . Disraeli gave notice that he would , that day fortnight , call thc attention ofthe House to the present _condition ofthe _agricultural interest ofthe country , with a view to the more-emitabe adjustment of the taxation to which that in erest wi subjected . ( Loud cheers from thc Protectionist B _mSoe with Deceased - _^ riSE _^ to S-n-ABT WouTi _^ r then ro se , _™? ?< gfTor leavcto brin _* - in a bill to amend and alter the Act o and 0 _-T-Sri tiV " -a en far as relates to marriage within
certain _d'J _griea of affinity . By a recent decision of the Court of Queen ' s Bench , a marriage __ ti .. s country between a man and his ueceased wife s sister was declared to be , nnder Lord Lyndhurst s -Act , absolutely null and void . But doubt still rest ' ol on tbe validity of such marriages when solemnised abroad—aui after some further remarks , he said it was not his intention that the bill , if pas-ed , should be confined to England . He hoped that the House would throw no obstacle in the way ofits adoption .
Sir G . Geei * would not enter into the discussion , as the motion was not to be opposed . After some further remarks , leave was given to hring in the bilL _CLEnOTMEX _DlSSEXTBG FHOM THE _CllURCH OF Exglaxd . —Mr . _Bocverie then moved that the House resolve itself into a committee of the whole nouse , to consider what relief could be granted to persons in holy orders in connexion with thc United Church of England and Ireland , declaring their dissent therefrom . The motion was then agreed to without a division , and the House went into committee . _^ In committee a resolution was adopted authorising the introduction of a bill npon the subject . Lasdlord asd Texaxt Rights . — Mr . S . Crawford then moved that the laws relating to landed property in Ireland , as affecting the rights and powers both of landlords and tenants , require the immediate consideration of the House , with a -view to such alteration of these laws as will
remove the obstacles at-present existing io the improvement of the soil and the employment of the people . The hon . gentleman proposed a series of measures , the adoption of which would go far to put the land question of Ireland on its proper footing . Amongst these were a measure for settling intermediate right , a bill for the extension of tenant right , a measure in relation to waste lands , and such an amendment of the Encumbered Estates Act as would render its provisions more easy of application . Sir W . Somerville was surprised that the hon . gentleman , instead of submitting a practical
measure to the House , should have contented himself with submitting an abstract resolution , the truth of which no one could deny . He hoped to be able , during the course of the session , to lay upon the table of the House a . measure to secure to the improving tenant the benefit of his outlay . It was also the intention of the government to propose a measure for the conversion of renewable leases into a tenure in fee , as -well as a hill for the amendment of the grand jury law in Ireland . He trusted that the House would not , nntil these and other measures were on the table , assentto a vague resolution , ¦ which raised false hopes , without leading to any practical results .
After a few words from Mi * . 0 _Flahert ** , Mr . Jorrx O'Coxxell , Lord Bernard , and others , the motion was withdrawn . Duchies or Cornwall and Lancaster . —Mr . _Trelawxt then moved for a select committee to inquire to what extent the puhlic are entitled to claim an interest , present or prospective , in the management of the duchies of Cornwall ana Lancaster . Lord 3 . Russell and Sh G . Gret both opposed the motion , when a division took place , and the motion was lost by a majority of 47 . The other business was disposed of , andthe House adjourned . FRIDAY , Feb . 24 .
HOUSE OF LORDS-The Date of Richmond put a qaestion , pursuant to notice , as to the intended abandonment of the system of female convict discipline on board the Anson hulk , at Van Diemen ' s Land . Earl Gret said lie had the most perfect conviction as to the necessity of doing away with that _establishment . The papers would be at their lordships' residences to-morrow ( this day ) . _SUSPESSIO . V OF THE HABEAS COBrcS ( IRELAND ) Bill . — -The Marquis of Lansdowxe , in moving the second reading of the Habeas Corpus Suspension ( Ireland ) Bill , entered into an explanation of the reasons which induced the government to continue the _suspension nntil the 1 st of September next .
Lord Brough am thought the period of limi ' ation too short , and blamed the government for _allowing meetings to go ou nati ! it was too late lo stop them . The noble and learned lord then proceeded to refer to the case of Burke , a juror on the recent trial of Duffy , who had got np and clapped his hands , and cried " hear , hear , " at some _observations made b y the prisoner ' s counsel . Such a country was not fit to have trial by jury , for nothing more indecent could hare taken place in the wigwams of Southern Africa . Lord Monteagle considered the state of Ireland most alarming , bnt called the attention of tli 3 House to ihe fact , that there was no law which imposed any restraint on the possession of arms in that country . The bill was tben read a second time , committre negatived , and ordered to be read a third time on Monday .
The other business was disposed of and the House _rejourned . HOUSE OF COMM 0 NS .-PAKI . IAMESTART Oaths . —The House then went into commit ' ee on the _Parliamentary Oaths , wben the Chairman put the following resolution : — " That it U expedient to alter the oaths required to be taken by subjects of her Majesty not professing the Roman Catholic rel gion , as qualifications for sit ing and "voting in Parliament ; and to _mak- * provision in respect of the said _osths for the relief of her Majesty ' s subjects professin _* - the Jewish reli-rwn .
Mr . V . Smith said that , in the amendment he -was about to propose , be wished it to be understood that he was notthrowin- * any obstacle in the wav of admission of Jews to Parliament . He thought ' the oaths administered to Roman Ca'holic members highly objectionable , and would , if possible , strike out of the declaration , " on the true faith of a Christian . " He moved , ssan amendment , "That it is expedient to abolish _a'l oaths except the oaths of fidelity -rod allegiance to her Majesty . " Lord J . Rdssell repeated that the arrangement of the parliamentary oalhs in 1829 , as regarded Roman Catholics , was looked npon as the final sett ' ement of a great question ; he must , therefore , oppose the amendment .
Mr . Hcme approved of the amendment , and thought it would be wise to abolish , as far as possible , unnecessary oaths . By what were called the Duke of Richmond ' s acts , above twenty millions of oaths had been abolished , and other arrangements had knocked off as many more , -without a greater amonnt of national dishonesty being perceptible in consequence . The committee then divided , when th ? amendment was negatived by a majority of seventy-two ; the numbers 140 to 68 . Mr . Bankes had given notice of an amendment , but he should not press it until the bill arrived in committee . His proposition was to bind the conschnces i . f persons who mi ght _bec-me members of parliament by the same words as bound RomanCatholic members at present .
Lord J . Russell , after again re erring to the fact that the settlement ofthe Roman Catholic oath by the Emancipation Actwasfor thepr . tection ofthe established church , contended that it could not be supposed there was any danger cf the Jews subverting the church establishment , whatever _apprehensions might be entertained as regarded the Roman Catholics , therefore be shou'd oppose their introdu - tirn as _affeciing the Jews or dissenteis , upon whom this _Wv-nld bear hard or upon any other class , the _Kotr-aii Catholics excepted . Mr . Goclbcrx * was not one of those who would Inipos . hardships or exclusions upon Protestant Dissenters , but when he found that the condition of
their admission to coporate offices , when the Test and Corporation Acts were repealed , was an oath requiring them not to exercise any power or authority they might possess in connexion -t-rifch such offices , to injure and subvert the Protestant Church , as by law- established , he could not conceive how such a UecLiration could operate as a hardship , when imposed as a qualification for members _sittin- * in Parliamen t . ° After a few remarks from Mr . _Drcmmond , Mr . , _' . O Cos-sell , the Earl of Arundel and Surrey , Mr . Axstey , Mr . _Xewdegate , Mr . Napier , and Mr . Sheil , enlivened by a dispute between Mr . O'Coxkell , the Earl of Arundel and Surrey , and Mi-. _8-ieil , on the proper interpretation of the Roman Catholic oath ,
Sn- It . Peel was called upon by Mr . J . O'Coxsell to arbitrate between them , and observed that the oath _was-impbsed upon Roman Catholics by tie _lej-islamre , and that the legislature alone , and not he , could detei * _minc what was its real _interpreta-

tion . Since 1 S 20 , Catholic members had frequently voted on measures affecting the established Church —votes wliich he had never called in q « e n believing that they had l _^ P _™™ . « jfS with the conscientious convictions of those gmng th AIr L u-- -rot-Id give his vigorous opposition to _everv sta-re of the measure , although he would not then divile the Committee upon n . . In answer to a question put bj Mi . Ba _> kes , Lord J KrssEix said that he would not propose the second reading of the bill , when introduced , until after Easter . .
... . The House then resumed , and leave was given to brin" in a bill founded ou the resolution . Relief of Distress ( Irelasb ) Bill . —On the motion for the second reading of the Relief of Distress ( 50 , 000 ) ( _L-eland ) _Bjll . Mr Hume protested against thc bill as a wasteful and pernicious expenditure of the public money , although he would * not then divide the House upon it . He thought that the government , before proceeeding further with this bill , should state in detail what measures thev intended to introduce with
regard to Ireland . Lord J . Russell observed , that Sir W . Somerville had already alluded to three measures which the government intended to proceed with . He biiuself liad also given notice that evening of another . It was obviously impossible for him then to state all the measures with reference to Ireland which the government might deem it expedient to propose during the session . Mr . Hume asked if any measure would be proposed with reterence to the Irish Church ? Lord J . Russell could hold out no hope to the honourable -rentlenian that such a measure would
be introduced . TheBill was then read a second time , to be committed on _Monday . The other business was disposed of , and the House then adjourned .
Latest News. Dublin, Wednesday.—Trial Of...
LATEST NEWS . Dublin , Wednesday . —Trial of Mr . _Dufft . — Disagreement of the * Jur . —There will be no verdict in this " monster trial . " The Solicitor-General replied on the part ofthe crown at the sitting of the court this morning . Mr . Justice Ball , whose charge occupied five hours and a quarter , sent the jury to their room at half-past seven o ' clock in the evening . At eleven o clock at night thejury came into court , when it appeared that there was not the remotest chance ot their agreement . They were then locked up for the nig ht . The jury are to be discharged this day without a verdict ; and , if Mr . Duff y Is to be tried again , the proceedings must commence de novo . Thejury were discharged on Thursday in Gavan Duffy ' s case , not having been able to agree . It seems admitted that one ofthe _iurors ( Mr . Burke ) ,
the proprietor of the Shelburne Hotel ( " the largest in Dublin ) , was in favour of an acquittal on all the counts . Mr . Burke is a Roman Catholic . Three others of thejury , says the Freeman' > * Journal , Messrs . Stokes , Barrington , and Taylor , a Catholic , a Quaker , and a Church of England man , were for acquitting Mr . Duffy on those counts which charged him with attempting to depose the Queen . After thejury were discharged Mr . Baron Lefroy said , that as it was probable that there would be a further trial in that case , he wished to say that he had not g iven any opinion , to tbe effect that it was necessary to prove the actual writing of an article to make a prisoner liable for the publication under the net . On the 7 th of April , at the next commission , Mr . Duffy is again to be tried , but will remain in durance till tliaf time .
Depopulation . — A letter from Athlone , dated the 20 th inst ., and published in the Freeman of this morning , says : — " The work of extermination goes on here with railroad velocity . About one hundred of the most substantial of the fanners of this nei g hbourhood have , - within the last few weeks , fled from the homes of their fathers — the sheriff and his levellers fly from village to village , their track is marked by the hideous ruins of farmhouses and cottages , once the homes of happy and contented inmates . Donegal Election . — Mr . Thomas Conoll y , son of the late member , was elected on Tuesday without opposition .
The Alleged Case of "V iolatiox at Epsom . — Epsom , Thursday . —The _magistrates assembled this morning for the purpose of further proceeding with this investigation , after the examination of several witnesses for tlie defence the prisoner was discharged . It is still in the option of parties to prefer a bill of indictment for the alleged offence . Mr . Bartlett , having been formerly discharged , was hero taken into custody by Mi * . Kcene , ona civil process for the debt for which he had been originally placed in Horsemonger-lane . The discharge of Mr . Bartlett appeared to give rise to considerable satisfaction among the townspeople of Epsom . The household furniture and effects latel y belonging to Mr . Bartlett were sold off yesterday under an execution .
FRANCE . —It is stated by the correspondent of the Times , that the combatants of February , and all the individuals imprisoned at any period for po-Utical offences , had resolved to meet at ei g ht o clock this ( Saturday ) morning , on the Place de la Concorde , to walk in procession to the Bastille , and do homage to the memory of those interred there who fell in July , 183 d , and in February , 184 S . The representatives of thc Mountain , and the directors of the various popular associations , have addressed the people , and advised them to remain calm , and to honour the great anniversary by proving to then- enemies their respect for order and loyalty . ITALY . —Mazzini has obtained the right of Roman citizenship . The Roman flag , by a recent decree , consists of the tricolour , with the Roman eagle in the centre . It is stated that the Swiss troops at Ferrara have consented to enter intoa . new capitulation with the executive government .
GERMANY . —The Cologne Gazette , of the 22 nd inst ., states , in a correspondence from Mannheim , that great numbers of working men are assembled on the frontiers of Baden , in the direction of the Lake of Constance district andthe Oberland ( just as before the two other republican movements ) , and adds , that it is suspected that Brentano , thc well-known popular leader , is gone to the Odenwald , where , it is said , the republicans will first attempt an insurrection . The authorities have been urged by the Baden government aud the central executive to be on the alert to prevent armed assemblages .
Chartist Silk Fabrics. We Have To Call T...
CHARTIST SILK FABRICS . We have to call the attention of the Chartist friends throughout the country , to a _* a advertisement wbicb appears in our columns of this day , of various silk articles , made especially for sale amongsi the adherents of the Chartist cause . We bave seen samples of these goods , and we pronounce them , a 3 being in every way creditable to the manufacturer , end worthy of the support of those for whom they are intended . They have two essential qualities—they are good and cheap : and although we are no advisers of the doctrine of cheapness , ' yet we know that in the present competitive state of society , that 'cheapness' is unavoidable , added to which , if labour is sold cheap , the labourer must bave the advantages of cheapness in his articles of consumption .
We have provided ourselves with some ofthe articles enumerated in the advertisement , being desirous of appearing in our 'true colours / and to each of our readers and friends , we would say , — ' Go thou and do likewise . ' We here give a detailed analysis of the advertisement : —Rich shot silk dress p ieces , green and black , and green and red brown , with deep blue satin stripes . Extra rich black satin vesting -this is a strong and durable article , and worth y the attention of all admirers of satin _vestings . A large assortment of gentlemen ' s silk and satin
neckerchiefs , which , for brilliancy of colour and quality , cannot be surpassed by any other house in the trade . The Chartist ladies' neck-ties , with the motto of tbe ' Land and the Charter' beautifully thrown up in satin at each of the four corners " ; these are universally admired for their richness of colour and the splendour and neatness of the design . The manufacturer , in order to suit all parties , has a large assortment of the same design with the exception of the motto , which has been omitted , and the Pine Apple substituted .
We understand the manufacturer will shortly have in his agents' hands a specimen of rich satin O'Connor Tartan for vests and scarf " , entirely his own _inventiso . Also a large assortment of gentlemen ' s silk _pocket-handkerchiefs , which shall command our attention as soon as they come to hand .

Flight of a Basher ' s Clerk to California . —It is with pain we have to notice the flight ofa young man , nineteen years of age , teller in the Clydesdale Branch Bank in this place , who went off by railway on Friday week last , leaving his employer , his father , relations , and friends , in utter ignorance of hia intentions . It is stated that he has abstracted £ 350 from the bank safe , of which he had charge . The bank agent , to the time of his exit , was highly satisfied with his conduct , and had lately offered mm an advance of salary to £ 70 to continue _m his employment . Nor lias any other charge of improper conduct been brought against him of anv kind wnatever . it is suspected that he and two * other lads have had their imaginations so fired bvwh . it they have read about the _treasures of California , that they have set off for that new El Dorado . -I _^

Feargus O'Connor , in the north of Ireland , to aid the patriots of that country , then struggling for freedom . And whilst he raised thc admiration of the audience to Ireland's eloquent and patriotic sons , he excited their hatred , and execrations against the memory of Castlereagh and others , who basely sohland betrayed theircountry . The two
powerful orations delivered by Mr . Cooper , form a most graphic sketch of Ireland ' s history , her struggles , her poetry , her patriotism , and genius .

Mb. Kydd's Tour. To The Editob Op The No...
Mb . KYDD'S TOUR . TO THE EDITOB OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —I left London early on the morning of Monday , the 12 th inst ., and lectured hi the Town Hall of Nottingham in the evening ; Mr . James Sweet in the chair . The Hall was crowded , and I have every reason to suppose that my address has had a good effect , so far as the advancement of sound political knowledge is of value . Some three or four hundred ofthe stockingersare out on strike ; their demand being an advance of one farthing per pair . During the protracted time of bad trade the reductions have been considerable , and the impositions , ofthe middlemen , in many eases , oppressive and vexatious . Trade is reviving , and the workmen demand an advance . Ono farthing per
pair is such a trifling increase on the cost , to the consumer tliat you would naturall y suppose it would be instantly acceded to . The manufacturers , however , doggedly refuse to grant so small a boon ; and many ot them—who by the way were out-andout Free Traders—tell the despairing workmen that bread is cheaper , and , therefore , their cost of livim * is less , and for that reason an advance of wa <* es is unnecessary . No language is sufficientl y strong to reprobate such proceedings ; yet such is the common practice among many of the manufacturin < - aristocracy . In times of bad trade profits fall and a reduction of wages follow ; the workmen are promised an advance when trade improves . Trade recovers , the advance is refused . A strike if
ensues : the workmen succeed in forcing their employers mto a concession , it is at a sacrifice of time and money almost _^ calculable ; if they fail , their condition is fixed one step lower in the scale of existence , to be fo lowed by a continuous depression in each succeeding panic . Their country increases in wealth—their industry is the source of thc increase—they never rise m the social scale—their families increase in numbers—their wages decrease —gaols and workhouses are filled—they complain —the government calls them seditious—they reason , and the Economists answer : " Supply and demand regulate the nrice of labour . " _ThSv fiv « Ann ..
polled to increase the supply , but have no power to increase the demand . Truly , this _supply-and-demand theory is the " shabbiest gospel '* that ever was preached to any people . The capitalists , too , combine to oppress the labourers . Trades Unions arc not conhned to the operative classes They may league together for a common purpose-the influence of centralised wealth is _brought to bear against poverty-stricken and poverty-incroasin < - labour , and gorged plenty-folds its hands _behin-f its back , and _s _.-iys to writhing hunger : * ' Tou live in a free country . You can please yourself . If you object to the terms I dictate , you are free to refuse them . What a horrible vassalage is this , How

Ion ** will it be before men discover that all freedom is with the rich of monied England , and all serfdom is with their penniloss dependants ? It is <* ratifyin < - to know that the more intelligent nortioirof the ratepayers of Nottingham arc favourable tothe stocking-weavers , and a meeting will be he don an early fa to consider the propriety of _-eniSg hind in the neighbourhood , with a view to their em ployment _. This is as it ought to be Low Ss _SLsed rates , and decreased profits , are _JseM _^ nd the _shopkeeppg classes show signs of imp _lement in determining on so wise and St ( $ n S T _^ -and , although one day ' s notice was only give by bill tho large and beautiful Hall was filled by a most attentive audience of workmen , the magistrates bavin ? _srantcd the Chartist Committee tho
use of it , free of aU charges . I did noUnnUO remark on the vote of Lawrence Hcywoi-th , Esq ., the lately elected member for the boroug h on the buspension ofthe Habeas Corpus Act for Ireland . Had for Hey worth been committed to the Whig policy b y previous associations in Parliament , Ins vote might have admitted of a party , although an unsatisfactory explanation . Mr . Hoy worth was the outand-out advocate of civil and religious liberty , the very pet of the Dissenters . His hrst voto was in favour of despotism , and in opposition to the civil _rin-hts of his Irish brethren . Can such an act admit of defence ? Yes , on _on-i ground alone—to wit , doin _« - evil that good may follow—which Simply mean s , doing evil to aid and maintain evil . Let men do good , and good will exist , and not follow . I promise the Liverpool Radical , that the working men of Derby will remember his vote for years to
comc- , tr n On Wednesday evening I lectured m tho new Hall , _Leicestor ; Mr . Henry Green in the chair . The audience was not numerous ; but from information communicated to me after the meeting _separated , I have reason to believe that the Chartism ot Leicester , if less noisy than in years gone-by , will be of moro enduring interest . It is an error to suppose that numbers alone constitute strength ; numbers without intelligence and defined purpose , oftener than otherwise indicate weakness , irresolution : a political movement like a house , must have a solid base and good corner stones , or it will never be a protecting shield in tho storm—or an efficient harbour for tho inmates . At Loughborough the meeting was as good as could have been expected , on an evening so near the close of the week as Thursday , the poor stockingers having but little time to spare . A long continuation of misery has broken the spirit of many
workmen in this district . " It is the daily drop by drop wliich wears __ Thc soul out , like the stone , with potty cares . I journeyed en route by Birmingham , for Manchester . Chartism in this as in other towns , has suffered from pa 3 t misfortunes ; the meetings have been meagre and almost spiritless . The committee gave due notice of my visit by placard . The People ' s Institute was filled , and never did I address a more attentive or a more intelligent audience . This augurs well for tlie future . The _arrangements for this district are not completed ; and I solicit all localities desirous of my services , to write direct to Mr . Thomas Orinesher , 52 , Little Bridgewaterstreet , Deansgate , Manchester , and remain as ever , your obedient servant . Samuel Kydd .
P . S . I have to offer you the thanks of numbers ofthe factory operatives for your continuous exertions in behalf of the Ten Hours Bill . The letter recently published in your columns , and headed " Factory Workers , " met with their entire approval . S . K ,

She had a baby in her arms at the time , and she was nearly stunned by the violence . —Other evidence was gone into , and it was shown that the prisoner was tho worse for drink when he committed himself in the manner
alluded to . —The prisoner , in his defence , said he had partaken too freely of drink , and that he was extremely sorry for what had occurred . — Mi ' . Broughton fined him 40 s ., or six weeks' imprisonment in each case . —The penalties were paid . WESTMINSTER . _—RoiiBEnv . —William Cullen , George _Di-jby , and Francis Pike , three determined looking fellows , were brought up for rc-examination , before Mr . Broderip , charged with having committed several burglaries . —Some evidence was given on thc previous examination , to show that the prisoners were found , at about three in the morning , in the rear of some houses in Cadoganplacc , for an unlawful purpose , and also to connect them with a burglary at Mr . Waller ' s , Stamford
Villas , Brompton , attended with personal violence to that gentleman , but it was found impossible to proceed further , owing to the prosecutor being unable to attend in consequence of the injury inflicted upon him . —On the prisoners being placed in the dock to-day , the police intimated that Mr . Waller was still unable to attend , but said they were prepared to proceed with two fresh cases against tne prisoners . —Elizabeth Bradford , cook to Mr . Robert Gray , of 17 , Brompton-terrace , said that on coming down stairs , at about seven o ' clock on the morning of the 3 rd inst ., she discovered that thc front area door , which she had properly secured on the previous night , liad been broken open , and £ 1 lGs . stolen from her work-box , which had been left on the dresser . The thieves were
unable to proceed further than the kitchen , owing to a door lined with iron wliich separated it from the other part of the house . Several attempts had been made , but unsuccessfully , to force this door , which was fastened with heavy bolts on the staircase side . Witness saw two very distinct footmarks in the garden tho same morning . —Mr . Moran , an inspector ofthe B division , proved that the left shoe worn by Pike at the time of liis apprehension precisely corresponded with the foot-marks described by the last witness . On examining the marks made in forcing the door , he found they exactly corresponded with the chisel produced , which he had no doubt
had been used upon tlie occasion . —The prisoners were committed for trial . Mary Bassar , cook to Mi ' . Douglas , of William-street , Knightsbridge , proved finding that tho house had been broken mto on the morning of the 28 th ult ., and silver plate stolen to the value of £ 40 . The robbers had effected an entrance by cutting out a pane of glass in the scullery window , and removing the sash fastenings , after which they forced the door leading to the kitchen , where they ransacked the drawers and found the plate . —Mr . Moran proved that the chisel alluded to in thc other case exactly corresponded * _"fith the marks made in thc door jamb and shutter , ( which latter had been attempted to be forced ) . Part of the wood work round onc of the doors had
been cut away , and there were eight or ten distinct marks of the point of a knife left on the wood . On comparing the point of a clasp-knife found upon Dig by , with the marks , it exactly fitted them . — They were also committed for trial upon this charge , but . ordered to be again brought up in a week , in order that Mr . Waller ' s case may be proceeded with . _Beogino . —James Joyce , a man apparently between sixty and seventy years of age , with the upper part of his face and head completely enveloped in a linen wrapper , a long grey beard carefully arranged over a thread-bare black waistcoat , upon which his chin rested , and presenting altogether an appearance evidently cultivated to
excite attention and sympathy , was charged with begging . —G . ' Adams , 256 A , stated that at about half-past five o ' clock on the previous evening he found the defendant begging in Belgrave-square , and inquired what was the matter with him , when the accused replied that he was starving . Witness , who had watched him for some time previously , and had 3 een him receive a shilling , sixpence , penny , and halfpenny , took defendant into custody , when he positively refused to walk , although perfectly able to do so , and witness was obli ged to procure the assistance of other constables to convey him to the station . Upon searching him he was found in possession of 2 s . in silver , and nearly the same amount in copper-money . —Mr . Broderip inauired
whether anything was known of the accused . —The constable replied thathe had been taken before the magistrates at Marlborough-stvcct a dozen times , andintimafced that defendant having probabl y found it inconvenient to remain longer m that district had recently commenced operations in BelTavesquare . The constable added that , although , ° as he had before stated , there was nothing to prevent the defendant walking , he refused to do so , and they ( the police ) were compelled to bring him to the court in a cab . —Defendant denied that he was begging . —Mr . Broderip committed him for a month , and directed thatthe money found upon him should
be applied towards his maintenance m prison . CLERKEIfWELL .-PonoKRY .-Edward Painter and William _Dajds were placed at the bar before Mr .

Jeremiah Knight , the acting-director of the society , proved having paid tho money to _Taintcr in the presence ot Davis . —Mr . Sidney : When you paid the money , was it vour impression that you were paying it to
Henry Fran lis ' —Witness replied it certainly was his full conviction that he was that person . It was traced that the prisoners liad been carrying on this species of fraud for some time on loan societies . — Henry Francis , of No . 10 , Charles-street , Clarendonsquarc , Somers ' -town , examined , proved that his name and address on the promissory note were not in his handwriting . He never authorised anybody to sign his name , or to apply for the loan he referred to . —Mr . John Bakeridentified Painter ' s handwriting on the promissory note . —Mr , Sidney said this was the whole ofthe evidence he had to offer , and submitted that it was clear enough to justify the prisoners' committal for trial for forgery . —Mr . Cembe _aSKed them If they wished to say anything in thea' defence ?—They said nothing , and were fully committed for trial .
SOUTHWARK . —A Modern Version of Othello and Desdemona . —Thomas Watson , a man of colour , waited on tho magistrate for tho purpose of soliciting his advice under the following circumstances : — The applicant stated that he came over to this country for the purpose of being instructed as a missionary , and that when he was qualified he intended to visit the interior of Africa . During his sojourn here , he took up his abode at the house of a Mr . Driskell , in the Southwark-bridge-road , where he had been living for the last eight months , and during that period a reciprocal attachment existed between him and his landlord ' s daughter , a woman thirty-two years of age . About a week ago he ( complainant ) , at the particular desire of the lady ,
put up the bans for their marriage , in Trinity Church , Southwark , and thc following day , to his great surprise and mortification , Miss Driskell was _badished from the house of her father , and was sent God knows where . He ( complainant ) remonstrated with the father , pointing out thc length of timo he and his daughter had been courting , but Mr . Driskell , instead of entering calmly upon the subject , commenced abusing him , and swore that he would havo liis life if he did not immediately quit the place . Tho complainant added , that having property in the house which he was anxious to remove , and fearful ofthe consequences if he returned after such threats , he therefore supplicated the magistrate ' s interference in tho business . —In reply to Mr . Seeker , tlie complainant said , that had he
married the lady lie intended that she should accompany him to Africa , with which she expressed herself perfectly willing , and that was the reason thc match met with such a decided opposition on the part of the father ; that on the strength of their nuptials taking place he ( complainant ) had gone to considerable expense , in purchases of clothes and trinkets for his intended ; and that ifthe father was determined on breaking off the match , ho thought that in justice the presents ought to be returned . —Mr . Seeker said , that thc only assistance he _esnild render thc complainant in the business was , to send down one ofthe officers ofthe court with tlie applicant , in order that he might take away his clothes , and prevent a breach of the peace while doing so . —The applicant having ; thanked the magistrate withdrew with the officer lor the above purpose .
Criminal Assault . —A genteelly dressed youth , 17 years of age , named Frederick Thompson , residing at No . 30 , Carburton-strcet , Fitzroy-square , was charged with having criminally assaulted Sarah Anne Lewis , aged 13 . —A great deal of evidence was gone into , from wliich it appeared that on the previous night defendant met the complainant and asked her to carry a parcel for him , at the same time telling her that he would give her Od . She told him that she would go home and ask her mother , and at the suggestion of a person who lived in the house , she ( the child ) was told that she mi ght go upon the errand , but the permission was given to her in ( Order that a close watch might be kept upon the person who had spoken to her , as no
doubt could exist with regard to his infamous intentions . The prisoner , on arriving at Park-square West , entered the inclosurc , whieh he opened with a key , and took in with him the child , towards whom he had , as was clearly shown , conducted himself in a most indecent manner . The child screamed out ; and the prisoner , after having continued his shameful conduct for some timo , led tho child out at another gate , the object wliich he liad no doubt in view having been frustrated by the arrival of parties who heard the poor child scream . The prisoner , after leading the child out at another gate , and making off , was taken into custody close to Trinity Church . Theprisoner , who denied having taken any indecent liberty with the child , stands committed for trial , but will be brought up next Monday . He was bailed to appear on that dav .
WORSHIP-STREET . — Attempted Suicide . — An elderly man , named J . Taylor , was charged before Mr . Hammill with tlie following attempt at self-destruction . —Mary Fielding , living in Ring ' s Arms-court , St . Luke ' s , stated that the prisoner called upon her a few days since in very depressed spirits , and told her that he had been looking about for work , but was unable to obtain any , and that he did not think he should be long for this world , as he had not eaten anything for more than twentyfour hours . After he had left the house , witness went out after him ; but , not being able to see him , she was returning home , and on passing an unoccupied house , she heard a shuffling noise inside , which induced hor to push open the door , and _linon
_looking down the passage she saw the prisoner suspended by a rope attached to a cross beam at the top of the stairs . Fortunately the rope snapped with the weight of the man s body , and he dropped upon the landing . From other statements it appeared that the prisoner had been for more than twenty years in the service of one firm in the city as carman , which employment he filled till about two years since , when ho met with an accident which rendered him incapable of working . He had since been admitted into the workhouse , but was turned out again , and all lie had received
subsequently was a shilling per week and two loaves of bread , a portion of wliich he had to devote to the _suppoi-t of two children who were occasionally dependent upon him . —A retired tradesman in the parish attended on his behalf , and stated that hi had known the prisoner for fifty years , and a more exemplary hard-working man he never knew . —Mr . Hammill said , that this was a case which , in his opinion , ought to have been attended to by the parish ofiicers . —One of theShoredttch parish officers , who happened to bo in attendance , undertook to admit the man into their workhouse , and he was discharged with an admonition from the magistrate .

CATTLE . Smithfield , Monday . Feb . 19 . —The supply of stock from Holland , and other parts of the near continent , on ofter this morning was seasonably large . Not the slightest im . pvovement was noticed in its quality ; yet we understand that both the beasts and sheep continue to "die"extremelv well . A somewhat extensive arrival of beasts has taken " place from Ireland in tho week , 119 oxen having come to hand from Cork , about sixty of which were brought forward to-day . Wc have to report the arrival o £ a somewhat large supply of beasts fresh up this morning from our various grazing districts , and it exceeded that recoivedonthisduyse ' nnight by about 30 o head . At least two-thirds of this description of stock were above the middle quality ; hence , the butchers generally had a most excellent assortment to purchase from . The continued heavy receipts of slaughtered meat up to tho dead markets _, and the comparatively thin attendance of both town and
country buyers , produced unusual heaviness m the beef trade . All breeds of beasts were with difficulty disposed of , at a further decline in the prices paid on Monday last of quite 2 d per libs . — the extreme currencies for the best Scots not exceeding irom 3 s 6 dto 3 s 8 d per 8 lbs ., and a large number were turned out unsold . Deef is now selling at 8 d to ls , mutton , Cd to lOd , veal , Sd to lOd , and pork , 4 d to Sd per Slbs . beneath the prices obtained at the corresponding period of 184 S . Although there were about 1 , 001 sheep less in the market than on Monday last , its supply was quite adequade tothe wants of the trade . On the whole , the mutton trade was in a very sluggish state , at prices barely equal to those quoted in our last report . The highest figure for the best old downs was 4 s 8 d per 81 bs . Calves , the supply of which was very moderate , were In rather small request . In the quotations we have no material alteration to notice . There was scarcely any demand for pigs ; and in some instances prices were almost nominal .

Tlie supply of _sheap , though not large , was more than equal to the demand , and lower prices were taken ; indeed they could not all be sold . Trade was very dull for calves , and lata rates were barely supported . _Pi-j-s were also rather lower . From Germany and HoUand there were 89 beasts , - _' 4 U sheep , and 99 calves ; from France , 12 beasts and lu calves ; from Scotland , 300 beasts ; and 130 milch cows from the home counties .
