BOW-STREET . Tr . ESD . JT . —Siiockisg _Depbavitv Caroline Evans , a housemaid at Iluclanghain Palace , was finally examined _, nnd fully committed for trial on three separate charges of felony . " The robberyat tlio Palace wns established at the previous examination . Evidence was now given to show that , in -September last , after the prisoner had called upon s sister _living in the service of a gentleman residing at St . . _Jchu _' _s-wooii , a silver _spwn was missed fruin the house . Since Gu prisoner ' s apprehension it was discovered tbat St was _pledged by her at a pawnbrokers simp in _Camber--weU . The third charce was of precisely the same kind ; the prosec . tor , Mr . Wilkinson , a surgeon , of Southampton-terrace . Pc _ -t «> nville , having missed two silver spoons after one of the prisoner ' s visits to her sister then in his
service . Tbis _prypi-rty was also found at a pawnbroker ' s . Iu the latter ease the sister , who was deep'y affected during Iter examination , attributed ber dismissal from the prosecutor ' s employ to the loss of the spoons ; but when _ Ur . Wilkinson stepped forward aud denied the assertion in the most positive terms , declaring that be _^ never suspected her . and that her _discharge , at the time in _question , was in _coiisetjwence vf ner ill-health , the poor girl retracted her statement . Mr . _n'iikiiisoii , however _, did not explain away the fact that , upon tho dismissal of the sister , tlie value of the spoons was deducted from her -wages . It is due to tliat gentle : ! . an to add that the money was repaid to lier _whsn be considered that her innocence was established by the late disclosures _respecting ; her relative , the prisoner .
Thcksj > . it . —A _Swishleb . —A young man , of _respeeinb ' e appearance , named Richard _Hollcbonc Martin , who had been brought from Marlboroughstreet OHice , where he had been arraigned on a charge ofsY . i . _ d _ h _«_ , was . p l aced - at the bar , before Air .

James Taylor , a hosier , carrying on business at No . 13 , Cornhill , stated that on the Sth instant the prisoner called at his shop and selected a considerable quautity of _goods , whkli he directed should bc scut to his lodgings in Graven-street , Strand , nnd in the course of the day an assistant was sent with tliem , to whom strict orders were given not to part with any ofthe property without the nioucy ; and , on Itis arriving at the "h ouse , the prisoner told liim he would require other articles , by which means Ic induced the young man to accept a check for the amount , which turned out to be a forgery . Joseph _Tamplm said , that in accordance with the orders he received from the last witness he took home the
goods , and on the prisoner wanting him to leave them without thc money , he said he had received strict directions to bring back the money or thc goods , and the prisoner then wrote the cheque produced upon Call's bank , which he took back to his employer . Sir . _Tajlor said that he suit the cheque to be pre sented uv i d . _tys after he received it , aud the answer was that the prisoner was not known there ; and , moreover , that another _fonjed cheque had lately heen presented at the bank in the same name . The prisoner was reniauded .

Witness instantly hastened to the spot , and observing a stream of blood gushingfrom the nose of Isaacs , he attempted to seize the prisoner , when tiic latter made a blow at liim , which disabled him
iu a in . intent , and lie found th-. it the back of his baud had leal laid _opc-n to the bone . Witness theu attempted to secure liim with the other hand , when the prisoner made a sudden blow at his face , and he felt his upper lip completely cot through with some sharp weapon , wliich struck violently against his teeth and liiUJ his mouth with blood . Iiiiuing that he w . is unable , from thc injuries bc had received , to retain liU hold of liu * prisoner , the complainant , Isaacs , took the rattle _frans his packet and sprung it , bnt before any assistance could be procured the prisoner had _. . ncceeileii in effecting his escape . Sergeant Barker and otlier officers shortly afterwards came np , and after au active pursuit the prisoner was traced to a c < _iffi _* e-houso in _XurUm-lVisate , and taken into custody , but no kni ' e or otlier instrument w . is then found in liis _possession . A certificate was handed to the _l-each from Jlr . Meercs _. the

the _suffennss he had undergone . Mr . Combe said that he eould not for a moment listen to t _'; c _proposed arrangement , a- > he was bound to consider thc interests ofthe public , -winch required tbat such , wanton and serious mischief as the prisoner had inflicted should la stringently dealt with . ilr . Vann then applied for tiic liberation of the prisoner upon bail , which his friends were prepared to tender to any amount that might he required , but the application was positively refused . The depositions were accordingly taken and the prisoner was fully committed to . Newgate for trial .

The prisoners wife , a woman of very lady-like address -and deportment , stated that Lei * husband had for a length of time held a commercial appointment in the * city , at a salary of £ 200 per annum , and that they had lived together in comfort and happiness until about two years and a half ago , when site discovered that he had ibmicd z clandestine intimacy with a woman of abandoned character . About a week
after the fact had come to her knowledge , thc _prisoner suddenl y left ionic under pretence of _brins called into the country upon urgent business , and she had never since eit _. icrs £ i . n or heard of him until tlicy had met that day in court . Having no friends to apply to for _assistance , herself and children were reduced to thc utmost distress ; and they were at length reluctantly compelled to throw themselves upon the parish , by which tiny had been entirely supported for tlie last two years . Charles Garner , a parish beadle , stated that ' since Iho ' prisoner _ had absconded ereiyeffort had been made to trace his retreat , but without success , until about a week ago , when it was ascertained that he had _estahlislicdThimsclf in business in

positive as to his identity , that he at once took the prisoner into custody , and brought him to town , when he-was immediately recognised as the person who had absconded . Mr . Broughton committed the prisoner as a " rogue and vagabond" to thc liouse of _Correction for one month ' s hard labour . The magistrate added , that at tho expiration of that period , the parish authorities might still i » roceed against the prisoner for the amount of their claims .
"MAIUBOROUGII _STUEET . TiinnsDAT . —A Jeremy _Diodlek . — 'Hubert Martin _, a stylish young gentleman , wns charged with obtaining _s _ oods under fraudulent pretences from a number of AVcst-end tradesmen . Mv . Wm . Henry Martin , whip and umbrella maker , Burlington Arcade , said that the defendant called at his shop in September , and conducted himself so as to impress him with the belief that he was a distinguished member ofthe spcrtin" circles . lie ordered a tandem whip , a limiting whip , two canes , and a parasol , to be sent to his apartments in Ilans-place , Chelsea , on approbation . Thc goods were left ; but when a call was made to ascertain if they suited , it was discovered that the
customer and goods had vanished . Complainant discovered that a portion of his goods had been pledged at Rochfort ' s , a pawnbroker in the district . Mr / H .-ndwick replied that the law did not reach the present case . Morally , the defendant might have swindled thecompla . uantout ofhis property ; but legally , it was a debt . As it was stated that many ottier charges of the same sort could bo _pvoilaccd , several other tradesmen were examined , but their cases possessing similar features , met , of course , with the same fate . Mr . Ilardwick was informed there were also charges of passing forged checks against the prisoner . These , however , being within the Bow-street district , the prisoner was remanded to that court .
SOUTHWARK . Tuesday _Jovexiix _Depbavitt—Marj Benson , a girl thirteen years of age , was brought before Mr . Jeremy ( who sat for Mr . Trail ) , charged with robbin * her fatllcr , and absconding from home . The complainant stated that he had occasion to bring his daughter to a police-court before fur plundering him , and that , through the intercession of Mr . Cottingham , she was admitted into an asylum for the reformation of juvenile offenders at Tottenham , instead of being s' _-nt for trial . She , however , had not been Ions there when she effected her escapeby climbing over a hi _^ h wall at the rear of the premises , and since then had joined a number of her dissolute companions , with whom she had been leading an abaudoiicd life . She afterwards returned home , hut she Imd been there scnrcely
_twentf-four hours when she absconded , taking with her all her clothes , and had been away eight days when he at length traced her , and brought her up to this court , as he could do nothing with her . The magistrate said it would be a waste of words to endeavour to make any impression on sueh a heartless girl , that as the articles she was charged with stealing were the garments she had on her at the time of _.-ihscondinjr , the father could not proceed _against htr criminally for the act , and therefore must give her another trial and take her home . The poor father said lie « as u hardworking man , and that the prisoner would take advantage of bis absence , and leave home in spite of ber mother , who was laid on a bed of sick _, ni'ss , owing to her anxiety of mind about her unhappy daushter .
_TiAMBETH . Monday . — The Dashing _Victimiker . — Mrs . _EUesi Lavier , alias Evans , a _ i <» s Edwards , who has been in custody for several days on a charge of victimising several surgeons in the vicinity of Clupliam , as well as ill other parts of the metropolis , was brought before ilr . Henry for final examination . In addition to the cases already taken against the prisoner , the following witnesses were called : — Miss Ann Cochrane , an assistant to Jliss Hichnrds , who keeps a lace warehouse , 153 , Cheapside , deposed that earl y in the month of April last the prisoner Jrovc up to the shop in a cab , and on entering inquired fur Hiss llichards . She ( witness ) told her that Jliss Kit-hards was then enraged , but that as soon as she was disengaged she should see her . She then said she was going out of town by the I _ ayton coach , and feared she should be too late if she stopped any time , nnd tluit _having
unfortunately forgotten her purse , she culled to ask iliss Uiehards , who knew her , for as . to pay her cab hire . Witness asked what name she should give to iliss llichards , and the prisoner replied , " Miss Evans , Grove Ilouse , " and she sent one of the young persons in the shop to Miss Richards . The answer returned from Miss llichards was , that she knew no person of the name of Evans , cf Grove House , and therefore could not give any money . The prisoner , upon hearing this , expressed much astonishment , said she was sure that if Miss Kichards saw her she would at once comply with lier request , and expressed a wish to sec her . Her manner was so urgent , that a second iness-. i _^ c was sent to Miss llichards , but the latter peremptorily refused to give any money . The prisoner then stated that she was sure if thc pretty-looking young woman was then ill the shop who used to serve there she would at once have given her the money , and described a J'Oung woman who had previously lived there so accurately , that witness thought her representations were correct , and also fancied
Aliss llichards might have known and forgotten her . Under ti _. is impression , and influenced by the highly respectable appearance ot the prisoner , she ( witness ) gave the prisoner * Js ., oiie of which she had to borrow from her fellow-skupwonuin . Miss Margaret Clayton , an assistant to Miss llichards , corroborated the whole of the evidence of the last witness and said she had lent a shilling to Miss Cochrane to give to the prisoner . Miss Priscilla llichards declared she had never , to her knowledge , seen the prisoner _beibre that day , and that she never had a customer , nor had she been acquainted with , a Miss Evans , of Grove House . This concluded thc evidence a _^ _- _. _vinst thcprisoncr , and Mr . Henry committed her to Newgate , to take her trial at the Central Criminal Court , upon the distinct charges of fraud and obtaining money by _false representations . The prisoner , who is considerably altered since her apprehension , on hearing the decision of tlie magistrate dropped in the dock , and was obliged to be carried nut of court .

On Tuesday last , the ladyreturning , dined at his house , and having expressed an ailXkty tO wear a portion of the jewellery in the box on the following Tuesday , the servant , Caroline , was desired by Mrs . Shaw , on Monday , to take the box from underneath the bed , when it was found that the lock was
broken , and the box itself perfectly empty . 11113 circumstance led to his ( Mr .

THAMES . _TaiDAT . —A Obhifii . 0 Committee . —William I'icldgatc , a Jodgir . g-housc keeper for sailors , and a dealer in their advance notes , was charged with stealing a suit of clothes , the property of a Jersey lad . The case , in all its phases , showed the impositions to which seamen are at present liable from the parties with whom they have to deal during their short adjourns ashore . It appeared from the evidence , that on Saturday three weeks the prosecutor left the Jersey Lass , and went to lodge with the prisoner , at 41 , Lower Grove-street , St . _George-in-tlic-East , taking his kit with hiin . He Staid there three llt't'kS aiid tlio days , during which time ho gave the prisoner the whole , balance of his wages , amounting to £ 117 s . fid ., and an advance note for £ 2 3 s ., which he re .
ceived on joining another vessel called the Cumberland . When hU bag was sent ou board the Cumberland , he missed the suit of clothes for which the prisoner had paid 4 s . Gi . out of thc money advanced by the prosecutor . He asked tbe prisoner for them on Sunday , when the latter said he had pawned them for lis ., alleging that the £ i 17 s . 6 d . cash , and tlie advance note for £ 2 5 s ., did not make them square as to the clothes , diet , and lodging . On Thursday evening again the prosecutor demanded his clothes , but the prisoner , who was standing at his door , which was elevated hy two steps , gave him a kick in the mouth . He was then given to a constable on the present charge . —Mr . _Pelhain , who appeared for the defence , said , if , as he would call evidence to prove , his client had taken the clothes , the case was the same as if a landlord distrained for rent . —Mr . Kiilhintiiie : Not
exactly , for in this case your client lias broken bulk j and pawned the articles . Jn any case which looks like a ] felony , where these _lodgingdiouse-keepGrs ate concerned , j I shall certainly send it for trial . A law will soon come into operation which will act as some cheek upon them , j by compelling them to take out licences . —The fact of j pawning was fully proved against the prisoner , who was j folly commuted for trial . The tailor who sold the clothes j ( not worth £ i ) for £ 1 Cs . then presented himself , and j asked to have evidence heard for the prisoner ; but Mr . j Ballantine told him a jury must determine the merits of ; the case . The prisoner was then removed , with per-1 M'wivii to put in bail , himself in £ 30 , and two sureties of ; KV ) each .

William Mali-ley , the proprietor pf the King's Head-inn , at Norwood . The prisoner , who was elegantly dressed , upon belnir placed in the lelon ' s dock , appeared excessively affected , and during the trial was seized with such violent ills of hysterics that it required , tlic ' united exertions of three of the prison keepers , and two of the female attendants , to contvol her .

The prisoner boinj ; a good deal alarmed and shaken by the fall , called for a bottle of sherry at the Horse and Lcaping-bar Tavern , and she and her friends having finished its contents , started for Norwood in a gig .. On arriving at the King ' s Head Inn they desired thc ostler to put
up the horse , and requested to bo shown to aprivaio room . This was done by UlC _Ciiaifthuvmaid _ u _ d they called for half a pint of gin . They remained there for three quarters of an hour , when they left , as they said , to have their fortunes told by a well-known gipsey in that neighbourhood . On returning to the inn tlicy were shown into the ordinary parlour on the ground floor , when they called for a second half-pin t of gin . Some time after Mrs . Mablcy , thc landlady , fancied she heard , some noise on the stairs , and immediately after observed the prisoner come down stairs , and go out at the front door . She suspected aU was not riirht . and instantly rushed un stairs , when she
missed ' from the drawers in her bed room four pieces of satin which she had placed there in the morning with a piece of paper over them . On making this discovery , Mrs . Mabley sent her pot-boy lirst , and then her daughter , to bring tho prisoner back , and upon being told the landlady wished to speak to her , she threw the pieces of satin inthe ditch . On her returning to the inn , she was met by a policeman , who accused her of stealing the pieces of satin , and her reply was , that if she siolc it she must have been dreaming at the time . Tho jury found the prisoner Guilty , recommending her to the mercy of the court . The chairman sentenced her to twentyeight days solitary confinement in _Hoi'semongcr-hiue Gaol .
Tiie Factory Question. Boltos, Oct. 21.—...
TIIE FACTORY QUESTION . Boltos , Oct . 21 . —A very . numerous meeting of tile factory operatives of this district was held at the Swan Hotel , fov the purpose of presenting an address to Lord Ashley , M . l _" _- ., for his zealous exertions to shorten the hours of labour in factories . The noble Lord was enthusiastically cheered upon his entrance into the room . Mr . J . Gregory , a spinner , who presided , briefly explained the object of the meeting . Mr . Turner , after a very neat and appropriate speech , proceeded to read the address , whieh , after referiug in grateful terms to thc noble lord ' s humane , disinterested , and persevering efforts in behalf of the whole body ol factory operatives , expressed a confident hope that those efforts would be eventually crowned with success . Mr . J ltoberts haviug seconded the address , it was carried by acclamatwn .
Lord Ashley , in reply , observed , that much ns ho valued that unaffected approval of his humble efforts , it was still more gratifying to bim to find that the factory people were resolved to persevere ill their most righteous cause , manifesting at tliu same time il conciliatory COlll'SC of conduct towards their employers . He would take that opportunity of explaining to the meeting why it had been thought uuadvUable to inlvoduec thc question to Parliament during the last session . It would be recollected , that in 1 SA 4 he had attempted to get the insertion of a clause into the Government measure , the effect of which clauso would have been to limit tho hours of labour to ten . lie had contended for that with much earnestness , but had been defeated after two divisions . In the succeeding session , be had not met with the support lie had anticipated . On tho contrary , he found a
great deal of reluctance amongst members , of all shades of opinion , to allow the ten hours' clauso to be inserted , uutil , as it was said , the bill had a fail * ll'ial . IIOIVCVCI _* , in another session the same impediments would not be presented , not at least to the same extent . lie had good hopes that they would ultimately _su-. ceed . The noble lord then proceeded to reiterate his opinion on the Ten Hours * question , as set forth by him at the preceding meeting at Manchester , a report of which appeared in this paper last week . The noble ' lord concluded his speech as follows : —Great efforts had been lately made to improve the education of the people , but so long as the whole time of the working man was devoted to labour tlVSYO COllld be 110 practical moral improvement . The moral and physical condition of the people must keep pace witn each o ' . her . Exertions were
making to provide parks and grounds for healthful recreation ; but of what value were tliey to a man who liad not one hour of the day to pass in them ? _. Not one of these improvements was available to those who were doomed to never-ending and exhausting toil . The agitation had been con ucted throughout in a maimer highly creditable to the good sense of the working men . It was tiiat w-iiicii enabled liim to take up their cause , and he felt confident , that be the issue of the struggle what it might , those whom he represented would never allow themselves to be betrayed into improper courses . If tlicy did not succeed in the next session , if would certainly be another trial of tlieir patience ; but of final success he entertained no doubt whatever , if they adhered to the same course of constitutional agitation _. The noble Lord sat down amidst deafening plaudits . Several operatives then addressed tho meeting upon various points bearing on the short hour question , and a vote of thanks having been ' passed to the supporters of the Ten Hours' Bill in and out of Parliament , the proceedings terminated .
As Accibkxt Of A Serious Nature Occurred...
As _Accibkxt of a serious nature occurred on Monday _morning , between eleven and twelve o ' clock atthe cab-stand corner of St . Mary _' s-le-Strand , to John Grundy , waterman at the Spotted Dog . A cart _belonging to Butler , tobacconist , _Drury-lane , having come into contact with tho poor fellow and knocked him down , one ofthe wheels passed over him , inflicting a severe injury on thc back part of his head . He was immediately conveyed to thc King ' s _College Hospital . The accident is not attributable to anv neglect on the part of the driver . It is owino- to the crowded stv . te of _Newcastle-street , which for the last ten days has been fhe thoroughfare between the "Westend ' and the City since Fleet-street and Temclc-bar have been blocked up by the repairs which _hwa been making there for such a length cf lime , to tho _rrct ' annoyance of the public .
As Accibkxt Of A Serious Nature Occurred...
A _Nnw Cm-. —The following animated description of _cneof the last wonders of our day , the new city now rising at Birkenhead , is from the pen of a noble dip _' omatisfc _, and , will be read with interest * . —Ihavc made a very agreeable trip to Birkenhead , which is ft p iaee rising , as if by enchantment , out ofthe desert , anil bidding fair to rival , if not eclipse , the glui'ies ot Liverpool . Seven years ago there were not three houses on that side of the Mersey , —there are now about 20 , 000 inhabitants ; nml on the spot whore within that time Sir VV . Stanley ' s hounds killed a fox in the open field , now s ' _-ands a . qnarc larger than Beigrave-square , every house of which is occupied . At Liverpool thereare now ten acres of docks , the charges for which arc enormous : at Birkenhead
there will bc forty-seven acres , with rates two-thirds lower , which will gradually diminish until ( supposing trade to continue prosperous ) tliey will almost disappear , and the docks _become the property of the public at the end of thirty years . It would have been worth the trouble of the journey to make acquaintance with the piojector and soul of this gigantic enterprise , a certain Mr . Jackson . With his desire to create a great commercial emporium proceeds , jwi passu , that of improving nnd _elevating tlic condition of the labouring classes there , and before his docks are even excavated he is building houses for 300 families of workpeople , each of which is to have three rooms and necessary conveniences , to be free © fall taxes , and plentifully supplied with
water and gas , for 2 s , Oil . a week for each family . These houses adjoin tlie warehouses and docks , where tlic people are to be employed , and thence is to run a railroad to the sea , and every man liking to bathe will be couveyed there for a penny . There ave to he wash-houses , where a woman will be able to wa < h the linen of her family for 2 d .- ; and ISO acres have been devoted to a park , which Paxton has laid out , and nothing at Chatswotth can be more beautiful . At least 20 , 000 people were congre ? atcd there last Sunday , all dcceutly dressed , orderly , and enjoying themselves . Chapels and churches and schools for every seel and denomination abound . Jackson says
he is sure he shall create as _vigorousa public opinion against the public-house as is to be found in the highest classes . There are now 3 , 000 * workmen on the docks and buildings , and he is about to take on 2 , 000 more . Turn which way you will , you see only the most judicious application of capital , skill , and experience , —everything good adopted , , everything bad eschewed from all other places , and _as-there is no other country in the world , I am sure , that could exhibit such a sight as this nascent establishment , where the best interests of eommcl'Ctt and _pllilanthropy are so felicitously interwoven , I really felt an additional pride at being an Englishman .-
A _Pbacticat . _PuiLANTiinopisT . — "We find _thefa-llowing in the Prcssc .- —Monsieur dn Petit Manlean > 151 eu seems to have found a rival , or rather an emulator , with this difference , that- our new philanthropist has hitherto preserved the strictest incognito , by assuming the garb , and * tone , and language of the lower orders . About a week or ten days ago , a few minutes before two in the afternoon , a man dressed in a blouse entered the shop of a traiteur in the Faubourg St . Antoine , where hundreds of workmen come at fixed hours to take what they call their ordinary . He was served with a plato of soup , which lie swallowed like a famished man , then a portion of the beef , which he devoured with equal appetite , and lastly a cup of wine , which he drank- at one draught . This done ,
iic got up and went to the bar , demanding what he liaif to ' pay . The landlady summed up— " An ordinary 7 sous , wine 3 sous , and 2 sous for broad , in all 12 sous . " " Good , " replied the guest . " Now tell me _liotv many workmen come here to their dinner . " " Why ! you see there arc sixteen tables for four each , and in a very few minutes they will all be filled , that will make sixty-four . " "Good , that makes- 38 f ., and adding my score it will amount to 3 ' Jf . Here is 40 f ., aud' you will tell all these good fellows _thatJtheirdinner is paid for to-day , * " anil throwing eight five-franc pieces on the counter , he disappeared . At daybreak the next morning a man entered one of the numerous lodging-houses for workmen in the Hue de 1 ' Hotel de Y ilie frequented by
journeymen joiners , and cried out , " Well , companions _,, how many of you arc in want of work ? ' _* Ten men jumped up together and preferred their claims .. "Well , " continued out' eccentric but humane friend , ' * Pick up your legs , and I will get you engaged for the whole winter . But you must make haste , for 1 . am in a hurry . " Believing that they had to do with a brother chip , the ten men _iosi no time iu following him to a master joiner in the Rue du Cherche Midi . Here , addressing the master , he said , " I have brought you ten good workmen , and you-must employ tliem . " "But lam not in want of any , for I can-hardly find work for my own people . " " Good ! ' good 1 still engage those , and you shall not find work fail you . In the first place you must make for mo 50- school desks of "heart of oak , five metres long bv oivi and _-, v half _svide _, ami as many
( 'Cliches of tlio same stuff , and then we will talk ol more . " The worthy joiner , however , stammered and hesitated . "Oh ! you don ' t know me . True—true , therefore you must have-something in hand . " Taking out a dirty pocket-book and producing a bank note for l _. OOOf ., he thrust it into the joiner ' s hand anddccamhed . For three-successive days in last week the same person put in requisition all the women who earn their living by carding mattresses , and paying each her day ' s work in advance ; he divided them into squadrons * and ordered them to go and card gratis all tlic mattresses in the iodgiug-houscs for workmen in the neighbourhood of the Place de Greve . This popular opecies of philanthropy may , a _> we can very well imagine , raise a smile , but iu such eccentricities we should look only at the results and _aimlaad them .
AXECDOTE 01 ' San Ejtr _ 3 ROR Nicholas . —The Emperor was proceeding down the Newsky prospect , alive-and watchful as he is when he catches sight of a uniform , when he espied a soldier of our regiment in the condition we call' slave bogu . ' It means' praise to the Lord ; ' anil answers to your French expression of'being in the Lord ' s vineyard , ' In a word , he was very drunk . ' Come here , ' said the Emperor , ' jump up behiud my sledge , and I will give you a ride to your barracks ,, and order you 500 lashes . Here _, hold on by the sleeve of my cloak that I may fee ! that you " havo not rolled down in tho snow Jike a beast , as you ave' The soldier thanked him- very fervently and humbly , as soldiers and peasants do with us when promised favours of that description .
It deprecates wrath , they say . Now the Lmperoi held # n at thc cloak just as an angler feels tlie fish al the end ofhis line ; and away tbey drove for the barracks . When they arrived the n _' fliccr on duty was called out . 'llarkye , ' said Nicholas , 'take that drunken hound , who is behind my _sledirc , and shut him up till he is sober , then give him 500 lashes . ' ' 1 hear and obey , ' said tho officer ; 'but please your Imperial Majesty , I see only two soldiers in the street —two mounted Cossacks just turning the cornerwhom I will instantly pursue . Which _is-ifc ? ' ' Ah fool ! whose mother ' 1 have defiled 1 ' said the _Empei'Ol _* . ' 1 mean the mail who is bohind my sledge . ' Out as the Emperor turned mechanically round _> look , there was no soldier there ; but the sleeve ol
his cloak was cunninglv fastened to hi * sash . ' Oh ! roared the Emperor , ' I have defiled thy _lllOtliei'l J have defiled thy mother ! I have defiled thy mother I The rascal has got off , * but I'll be _ev . en _witfi him ; he shall not escape . Drive on . * The next morning the regiment was drawn out in one rank , and the Emperor himself _pmc to inspect it . He quietly desired that the delinquent would step forward ; but the delinquent knew better . Then the Kmperor ' s brow lowered , and he walked along the line , looking into every man ' s face , and making his teeth chatter , But you know he endeavours to sort the men so carefullyj he causes the soldier ' s hair to be cropped so close , and their nioustaehios to be cut so exactly in the same trim and blackened so accurately to the same hue with tallow and lamp-black , that for once he was utterly at fault . The Emperor chafed ; the cnlonel was in despair , and in vain implored the oiiender to come forward , and be _ilogsed , for the credit
of tlie regiment . At length a free pardon was promised ; but yet no one came forward . Still Nicolai Paulovitch swore that he would find him out ; and then he _offered not only a free pardon , but 100 roubles ailll a W ' _COk ' s Ijplitlay . Now , 100 roubles to a poor soleicr , who receives only about fo . a year and is fond of brandy , was too strong a temptation . He stepped forward and confessed . The Emperor looked at him , and sent him back into the ranks—bis curiosity and his anger were gratified . 'His curiosity , ' said Horace , ' but not his eager , for I suppose he kept his promise . ' ' Oh j es , as to the pardon , and so . he did as to the 100 roubles , * but then the soldier drank , and of course the colonel found that be was drunk . He was condemned to run ' "the gauntlet through 300 men , and when his scntcnoe was sent to the Emperor for approbation , he wrote down approved , but to run the gauntlet twice through 000 men . Anil serve the fool right , for he had it all his own way once .
ExrEDiEXT to Escai'E _puom _RoBMshs . —Some time since a party of gentlemen travelling in a lonely part of tho countiy , were relating to each other in the stage coach talcs of escapes from robbers , and expedients for safety in case of an attack . An ok ! gentleman of the party said that he always deposited his money in Ins boot , keeping only some silver in his waistcoat pocket to pay liis common expenses .

The guitar is au instrument not generally understood , consequently uot properly appreciated ; . but the enthusiasm with which his lecture was received , . proves that there is much to be dune with that instrument , in such hands as Signyi' Cil'lM'fl , Who is perhaps the finest performer ever heard in this country . His lecture was read by Signor Luigi , whoso entertainment some time ago delighted his audience . at tho same institution .. The subject treats of the history
of Spanish music . from the earliest periods to the _preset , time , and particularly during tiie occupation of _Spuiu by the Moors . Tlio Signer carries his audience with him in a very pleasiiig . inanncr _, by the introduction of specimens . ofthe style of different Andalnsian composers , both , insolos and duetts . Those airs which seemed to ba most appreciated by thc iivdicnce during the lecture , wire 1 . 03-tons del Puerto : El Controhanilista , a duett from IWjcrt . lt Viable , by Don Josii'de Ceibra and Don R . de Ceibra , anil a fantasia . of "We lived and loved together .
