He appeared to have been very _repentant _, and * passed the whole ofthe preceding night _ni prayer . _Robbebt . — A painful rumour is afloat , which is nafortanabeiy too well founded , that a junior clerk * the firm of Messrs . Miles , Harford , and Co .,
, hankers , in this city , has absconded with a considerable sum , the property of his employers . — Bristol _JovjmA * A Fheak of Foribse . —A poor man from Mont _artr-at , in ihe department of the Dordogne , who _passes bv the name of Perigord , and -works as porter fna tradesman ' s warehouse , at Bayonne , meeting a sh ort time ago with aperson from the neighbourhood of his birth-place , inquired eagerly for news of his •• _amUy . "What , " cried the friend , 'have younot heard the news of the prodigious fortune that your _femily has inherited ?—the whole country rings with it . " " On heating this , Perigord , unable to write , got comeonetoapplvtohis mother for an explanation
A few days ago an answer was received by the person _whohad acted as amanuensis , of which the following is the substance : — " A letter from London acquaints as that your grandmother ' s brother , Francis Claud Bonnet , is dead , King of Madagascar , and has left a property of 75 , 000 , 000 francs ( or £ 3 , 000 , 000 sterling ) , whieh has been lodged at the Admiralty in England . This uncle left bis country at a very early age , in the capacity of cabin boy in a trading vessel . We have au _& orisedM . _Montposicr , whom yon know , to act in our behalf , and he is nowin London onthis bnssmess . We were about to write toyoa to teU you ofthe news when your letter arrived . " Pengord was notpresent on the receipt of this letter , bnt came in just as it was read , _bearins on his back a heavy load . * WeU ,
said he , " what is the news ? " "Only that your famflvnave inherited a fortune of seventy-five millions * * " "Seventv-five milhons ! " said the porter , anWing down his _' load , " I will make you a present of one . " Though thc amount is probably much _exagn-erated , there is no doubt but thata considerable fortune has fallen to thepoor man , who bears ihe best of characters for honesty and indusfey-Faiai , _Acctdext os the Cboxdox "Railway . —On Friday afternoon , about one o ' clock , a carpenter in the employ of the Croydon Railway Company was _preceding up the line to his work , and had gone about a mile distant from the Croydon tern-onus , when , perceiving the up train approaching , he stepped over on to the down liae ; in an "instant a Dover train was upon him , and his traBsition from life to death was the work of a moment . _Tawell ' _b _Coseessiok . —Mr . Gallot , the gentleman
who , with Mr . Bevan , the solicitor , ofthe Old Jewry , conducted Tawell' s defence , had several interviews with Mrs . Tawell at Berkhampstead during the past week , for the purpose , it is stated , of making _repre _sentations to the Home Secretary not to interfere _toOi the possession , by the Rev . Mr . Cox , of Tawell ' s confession . It seems now pretty clear that the contents of the document will not meet the public eye t jll the books and manuscripts of Mr . Cox may hereafter be transferred to other hands , Sir James Graham having intimated to the Buckinghamshire magistrates that he does not see sufficient grounds to call forhis interference . The exclusion ofthe representatives ofthe press from the gaol is stated to have been at the urgent desire of TaweU ; but whether so great a criminal in a lower station of life would have luid the same consideration shown to him , the public can judge .
The _HiMPSiEAn Mubdeb . — The following particulars in relation to the murderer ' s defence , and the young woman therein spoken of , have been obtained from a source on which every reliance can be placed , and which fully prove the untruth of all the statements which Hocker has as vet made respecting the murder : —On Wednesday , the 9 th inst . ( two days before trial ) , after the -witnesses had been examined before the grand jury , and a true bill returned against Thomas Henry Hocker , his father applied to Mr . Cope , the governor of Newgate , to have an interview with his unhappy son . That interview -was granted , and at it Hocker made his father acquainted with tiie line of defence he intended to make . After the interview Mr . Hocker , sen ., commnnicated lie nature of his
son's defence to Mr . Watson ( his landlord ) , and Inspector Grey , ofthe S division , -when itwasdetermined , in order to _aseertainif there -was any truth in his statement to discover , if possible , the young lady and her family of whom Hocker had spoken , the onlv clue to whom was , that the name was believed to be " Stanley . " and that they resided in the neighbour hood of Hampstead . On the following ( Thursday ) morning Mr . Hocker , sen ., accompanied by __ Mr . Watson and Inspector Grey , commenced their inquiries , hut it was not -until eleven o ' clock at night that their _seawh was successful They then were led to suspect that the lady ' s name wasnot Stanley , but that Miss Emily , -the daughter of a widow * carrying on a respectable business at Hampstead , -was
ihe individual whom they were in search oi , and tney _af-corulnglyin-anedra _^ On "knocking at the door it was answered by . _twoyonng women , of whom Inspector Grey inquired if Miss Emily lived there . One of them , a very mterestiiig pretty voung woman , about 21 years of age , appeared rather alarmed , andinquired what the object of their visit was ; to which Inspector Grey replied by asking what made her ask that question , to which she said she did not know . At that moment the young woman who was with Miss Emily ran away in doors , called for some one to come to their assisfance , and Miss was following her , when Inspector Grey told her that she must not run away , as ,-wherever she went , it would he his duty to go
Withher . A person who manages Mrs . ' s business then came forward , and the parties all proceeded into the parlour for the purpose of stating the object of their visit . Inspector Grey then asked to see Mrs . « - — ' -, the mother of Miss Emily—— , and being informed that she was staying on a visit at Whitechapel , he asked Miss Emily if she knew a person named Thomas Henry Hocker , and immediately on his doing so she turned very pale , trembled violently , and nearly swooned away , at the same time esclaimin _** ; , " Oh , God ! how did lie come to mention ns _*!* " When she had somewhat recovered herself , Inspector Grey questioned her as to what she meant by the exclamation she had uttered ; when she explained that she felt so shocked at its being known
that she had been acquainted with a person charged "aifli so heinous an offence . Inspector Grey then asked her if she hadseen Hocker at all on the night the murder was _coimnitted ( FridaT , February 21 ) , to which she replied thatshe had not , and that the last time she hadseenhim was in Octoberlast , whenshesaw himat Hampstead Church , but did not speak to him on that occasion . Inspector Grey then asked her if she knew Mr , Delarue ? She replied that she had seen him , buthad never been introduced to him j she had only seen him once , and that was just previous to seeing Becker at church . She was on that occasion walking with theyonng lady who was then present , in the Conduit Fields , at Hampstead , whenshe saw Hocker and Delarue coming towards them across the fields .
The young lady said to her , " Here ' s Hocker coming r-Emi ! y , if he speaks to you , answer hiin ; but if be does not , take no uotic * of him . " Hoehcr and Delarue , however , passed on without the former _^• caking , but when they had passed they both turned round and looked back ! Inspector Grey next asked Miss — if she had ever received any " letters from -Bocker ? She replied , "No ; " but it was in so hesitating a manner that Inspector Grey said , "It " _soi no use telling me that vou have not , as I know _& at you have ; " to which she replied , "Yes , I believe I kaYe _ _4 hcv are up stairs , but through my mother ' s _ateence at Whitechapel I have not got the key of the _*** mu . Inspector Grey told her she need not mind the * - _*¦ ' _* " ? , as , if she would shewhim the room , he would very
_?* i _"* obtain an entrance into it . TJHamately , Miss _^ _Wiu the kev , and taking a candle from off the taU said to _' lnspeetor Grey , " Stop here , and I will | ° and fetd , them for yon . " * Inspector Grey told her _•^ _fuld not let her go hy herself , but he must go J ™ " her , and thev quitted the room together . In f minutes thev again returned to the parlour , -H _Peeior Grey having a bundle of letters ( about tla _& dozen ) in his hand , which Miss had _•*« wed _from Hocker . Inspector Grey then asked **¦ what the reason was that induced Thomas Henry _nw-ker to withdraw himself from keeping _hereoni-% _*?; to _-irhieh Miss replied , that it was in _S qni ?

Fatal And Melancholy Railway Accident.— ...
The Pbisoneh Hocker . —The prisoner was on Wednesday visited by his father , and after handing to him the names of those persons whom he wished to see for the last time , expressed himself perfectly resigned , at the same time very earnestly requesting that his mother would visit hun on Friday , when he takes his farewell of his friends . He still continues writing , although npon being questioned by his friends he most positively declares that he has nothing to add to the statement he had made at the trial , by way of elucidating the mystery wliich still hangs over the murder .
The Hampstead Mubdeb . —Extraordinary _Seif-Accusation and Afpkehensiox of the Self-Accused Muederer of life . Dblarue . —Great interest was created throughout the metropolis last evening by a report that a man had surrendered to the police declaring himself to be the murderer of the late Mi * . Delarue , at Hampstead , and that the condemned criminal , Thomas Henry Hocker , was innocent ofthe crime imputed to him . This statement proved to be erroneous with respect to that portion of the rumour which declared the self-accused party voluntarily to have surrendered himself to the police . It is true that a man was yesterday apprehended by the police , upon evidence which he him himself supplied under the following circumstances . It is a regulation in
Newgate , after a prisoner is condemned , that all letters addressed to him should be opened by the gover nor , in order to prevent the possibility of anything being conveyed to him , by which he might be enabled to destroy life . A few days since a letter arrived at Newgate , addressed tothe condemned criminal , T . H . Hocker , and , in accordance with the above regulation , it was opened by Mr . Cope , the governor . To the astonishment of Mr . Cope , he found that the letter contained a declaration to the culprit that he should not suffer the penalty of the law on Monday next , for that he ( the writer ) " was really the murderer of Mr . Delarue , and that the blood of his victim was both night and day before his eyes , rendering his mind in such a state that he could " no longer conceal his guilt .
The letter , at great length , proceeded to detail the horrible struggles of the murdered man in the Haverstoek field , and concluded by assuring Hocker that it was his intention to give himself up in time enough to save him . No sooner had the governor read this letter , than he commnnicated with the sheriffs , and a clue having been obtained by the City police to the writer , they have for some days been in search of him , and yesterday afternoon his apprehension was effected , and he -was at once conveyed to the station-house in Black Horse-court , Fleet-street . On the prisoner ' s arrival at the station-house , Sheriffs Hunter and Sidney were sent for , and proceeded to examine him upon the subject . He gave his name as William Ahnar . He admitted the
authorship of the letter , which the reporter was further informed went on to recapitulate the many pleasant hours he ( Ahnar ) had spent with Hocker at the Kings and Key public-house in Fleet street , and added that if he did not save him at least he would hang hy Ids side . In the course of his examination by the Sheriffs , the prisoner , who is stated to be of a very foppish exterior , continued to rub his hat about in a very theatrical manner , and in reply to question 1 ; put to " him , he declared that he knew nothing at all about Hocker , and he could not account for the strange impulse which induced him to write the letter making such a false accusation against himself . He was ultimately removed by direction of the sheriffs , from the Black Horsecourt station to the police station on Garlick-hill , on account of its being more adjacent fo the Mansion House . Ahnar washere visited by Mr . Daniel Whittle Harvey , the Gity police commissioner , and by Mr .
Cope , io whom he conducted himself in a similar manner to his conduct before the sheriffs . He , however , persisted in his previous statement that he had written the letter upon the impulse of the moment , but what induced him to do so he could not tell . The sensation caused by the affair was such that most of thepolice-stations were literally besieged by persons anxious to learn if there was any foundation for the report . Although much doubt is thrown upon the fact of the prisoner being in any way concerned in the murder , still it was deemed necessary to place him in a cell with two policemen , where he will remain till this morning , when he will be taken before the Lord Mayor . It is stated that shortly after the apprehension of Ahnar information ofthe circumstance was forwarded to the Secretary of State , Sir James Graham , but the reserve of the police on these occasions renders it impossible to state whether it has resulted in any order respecting the condemned criminal Hocker .
Suicide at Camden Town . —On Tuesday morning , shortly after six o ' clock , as Richard Cartwright , a respectable carpenter , residing at No . 27 , Prebendstreet , Camden Town , was crossing the Hawley Field , situated on the right-hand side ofthe Hampstead-road , and near the Hawley Lock oftho _Regents Canal , he discovered the body of a man lying on his back , with a pistol grasped tightly in his right-hand , and his head shattered in a frightful manner . By his side , when discovered , was found a small partridge cane , and all that his pockets contained were a pair of steel spectacles and case , a black papier mache snuff-box , and a pair of black kid gloves The following is an accurate description of the unfortunate man's person and dress : —He is apparently about 35 years of age , 5 feet 2 inches high , of dark complexion , with dark brown hair , and without any whiskers . Had on when found two coats , the outer one a dark brown great coat with brown velvet collar , the
under coat a species of shooting-jacket of brown velvet , writh pockets in the side and breast . It is singlebreasted , and trimmed with sporting buttons of various descriptions , the top one having on it ahorse , the second a dog , the next partridges , and so on , the last button being broken off . Blue trousers , black cloth waistcoat , and the patent leather boots . The scarf round his neck is of black figured satin , with a crimson stripe . The linen is very coarse and cju * ty . The head ofthe unfortunate man presents a shocking speetacle , the whole of the right side being blown awav ; and from the mutilated appearance of the lower part of the face , there is but little doubt , in order to effect his object , he placed the muzzle ofthe pistol in his mouth and then discharged it . The body lies in the dead-house of St . Pancras workhouse for identity . The hat of the deceased was found a short distance from his body . It is a beaver one , somewhat worn , maker's name , "J . Howard , Jamesstreet , Old-street , St . Luke ' s . "
The IsquE 8 T . —On Thursday an inquest was held before Mr . Waklev , M . P ., at the Elephant and Castle , St . Pancras-road , on the body of WiUiam Orion , the individual described in the above paragraph . The brothers of the deceased , who were examined , stated that he lived at No . 3 , Stephen-street , Tottenham-court-read . Be had formerly been a tobacconist in _Farringdon-street , where he resided fbr two years . He then sold the business , and lived for some time on the money he received for it . He had been in veiy great distress for the last five weeks . He had on one occasion received an injury on the back of his head which had partially affected the brain , for he had been delirious very frequently since that time . He was last in the company of his brothers at twelve o'cloek on Monday _nighty _^? ' ? n _^ _** PPe ' _u'ed - < n
unusually good spirits . He himself remarKcd that he felt very happy , and yet he could not say why , as he should prohablv sleep in the streets all night . He went to his lodgings at a quarter past twelve , and asked permission of the landlord ( who had seized his boxes for non-payment of rent ) to take sometliing out of one of them . He obtained permission , and he opened one , from which he took something , and placed it in his pocket . He then said to his landlord , " Good by , I shall not see you any more . He was never again seen alive . The pistel with , which he committed the act had been in his possession ten _veai-s . The jury , after some remarks from the eoroner , returned a verdict "That the deceased , William Orton , destroyed himself ; bnt in what state of mind he was atthe time there was no evidence to show . "
An Eccentric . —The Presse announces the sudden death ( by apoplexy ) of an Englishman named Thomas Graham , _whoresided for the last twenty-five years at the Jardin Turc , in Paris . He lived completely alone , and amused liimself with making experiments in watch-making . On Saturday raorning last the porter of the house , whom he charged to visit him every morning , knocked at his door without receiving any answer . " If such a circumstance should occur , " said M . Graham to the porter on a previous occasion , " you may consider that I am dead . " In fact , on the door being forced open , hewas found extended on the floor lifeless , holding part of the works of a watch in his hand . M . Grahani was possessed of considerable property iu the English and French funds , of which the certificates were found in his room . He led a completely solitary life , in order that he might not be disturbed whilst maldng his experiments .
An Album of Crime . — In the possession of a man named Harrison , convicted of a highway robbery near Leeds , and sentenced to transportation , a diary has been found , consisting of a record of all his robberies . The book is small and neat , is _gihvedged , and forms , in fact , a sort of Tobbers album . It would appear , froin one of the entries , that a man named White , convieted of highway robbery at the same assizes , was in reality ( as he himself solemnly protested ) innocent of the crime , and that Harrison was the robber . Terrific Gas Explosion . —A tremendous explosion of gas took place on Wednesday morning , at half-past seven , at the Robin Hood Tavern , Holborn .
The gas escaped from the meter near the _iront window , and caused an explosion , which was heard throughout the entire neighbourhood , and carried the front directly across the street ( about fifty feet ) , against the shop front of G 5 , opposite , the shutters of which were , fortunately , not taken down . The windows of the houses adjoining the Robin Hood were smashed , whilst those of Nos . 63 , 64 , 65 , aud 66 , on the opposite side of the street , were more or less destroyed , even up to the third floor . No lives were hat , nor did any accident of a serious nature occur . A boy and a _woman werc passing at the time and were knocked down . The street was strewed with broken glass , some of which was carried far into _Featherstone-buildings ,

In answer to a question how he would have it , he replied
that he . would take a £ 50 and several £ 5 and £ 10 notes , which he specified , and the remainder in gold . Witness had a doubt of the genuineness of the signature , and showed it to another ofthe gentlemen in the office , after which the prisoner ivas taken into custody . —Mr . Smith laimniu , also a clerk in the house of Preseottand Cfrote , stated that the prisoner on Monday last broug ht a cheque which he stated to be drawn by Mr . Southey , at nearly half-past five o'clock . WitneBS , who did not see the amount ofthe cheque , desired the prisoner , as the time was after business hours , to bring it next morning . The prisoner mentioned that he was to take the amount to Mr . Southey on the following morning . —Mr . Thomas Southey , of Coleman-street , wool-broker , stated that he was in partnership ivith his father . They kept cash at the house of Messrs . Prescott and Grote . The cheque
produced was not in the handwriting of witness or of his father . It was a slight imitation of the writing of the latter . Nobody had been authorised by either of them to sign it .

Is it correct?—The prisoner . Tes , sir . —I wish to ask you another question ; but you need not answer it if you have any objection , for the answer will be taken down . When did you find it?—I do not wish to answer that question . —The Lord Mayor Very well , it is my duty to commit you for trial . —The prisoner , who did not seem to be more than fifteen years of age , then followed Forrester , to all appearance quite nuconcerned , out of the bar ..

Sir William , who appeared tliis morning in person to press the charge , said , that he had been aware for mere than three years that some parties in his employ were in the practice of making away with parcels of paper from time to time , but though every means had been taken to find out the offending parties , no clear case had been discovered on which to prefer a charge until the present . One or two of the City police had for some time been on the look-out , and on the previous morning discovered the circumstances that led to the charge preferred against the prisoners at the bar .

Witness remained all night at the house waiting for Mr . Dutton to come home , wliich he did not until this morning . He told Dutton that he wanted him , upon wliich the prisoner observed that he was aware that lie was wanted , and that he had but one course to adopt ,
which was to teU the truth of the whole affair . He said that he had bought the paper from Mr . EH , a foreman in the employ of Messrs . Magnay and Brothers ( now in prison ) , and paidhini before-hand for it . The goods were _brought to his house in Mr . Magnay ' s cart , and delivered by his carman , John nail . Dutton also added , that suspecting something was wrong , in consequence of the paper being sold at such a low price , he remarked to Ell whether it was all right , for that if anything was wrong , to let him know it , and not bring his family into disgrace . Upon which EU replied , that it was the perquisite allowed by the stationer ' s firm , and that the produce was shared equally between him and the clerks . Witness had searched Button ' s books , but could find no entries of any goods received from Messrs . Magnay and Brothers , although there were several in Ell's name relative to money borrowed and lent . Mr . G . Magnay identified the paper produced , and said that no such kind had ever been sold either to
Dutton or Nicholson . There were in Dutton ' s house five cases of books ; the paper was quite damp , and tliey appeared as if they had been packed in a great hurry . _ Witness asked Dutton how he came to take the goods without au invoice , when he received the same answer that was given to the policeman . Dutton also said that on demurring about purchasing the paper , Ell observed that if he did not _Uke to put a pound in his pocket , he knew plenty who would be glad to do it . The prisoner also asked wit . ness to be lenknt with him . The witnesses were crossexamined by Mr . Pelham at some length on behalf of Mr . Nicholson , but nothing very material was elicited . Sir John Pirie said that the whole affair looked very much like a conspiracy to defraud Messrs . Magnay and Brothers , and he should therefore remand them until Friday , when they would be brought up with the other four in custody . Mr . Pelham then applied to have his client bailed , but Sh _> John would not consent , and the prisoners were locked up .

MARLBOROCGH-STREET . Saturday —Justice for _Oold Ibelakd . —Hurrah r . « "ii and Maynooth f—A respectably dressed elderly gentleman , who gave his name as Charles Lewis , was charged with being found drunk and disorderly early in the morning , shortl y afterthe House of Commons had divided on the , second reading of the Maynooth Bill . — ine police-constable found him in a helpless state of intoxication in the Quadrant , Regent-street , and the nymphs who frequent that part of the town making merry at his expense . He was standing against one ofthe pillars with ins head hanging down , as if asleep . On being aroused , and told that he would be taken to thc station-house , he waved a formidable shilelah over his head , in the Donnybrook fashion , damaging the policeman ' s hat , and shouting atthe top of his voice , "Ould Ireland has got jusbce at last _^ -hurrah for Peel and Maynooth "' A crowd having collected around him , he was taken into custody . —Theprisoner in his defence said , he had been
dining out with some friends , and had taken more to drink thau he should have done . A gentleman who had been at the House of Commons all night came into the place where he was visiting in the morning , with the inteUigence that the second reading of the Maynooth grant was earned by a majority of 147 . He ( the defendant ) was so delighted at the news , that he had a glass or two more , and on going out to the air he became so intoxicated he did not know what he was doing . He was fined ten slrillings , wliich was immediately paid , and he left the court . Tuesday . — The Bul Discounting System . — Mr . Willis , ofthe Quadrant chambers , was charged a short time ago with having fraudulently obtained from Mr . Hearne , _* _* ? , £ n - * Pal I Mal , > two bills of exchange of the value Sr f * \ ° ? _l which tlle drawer , a gentleman , named Mytton , had been swindled by a hill-discounting firm in _kreat Jttarlborough-street _, carrying on their practices under the names of Smith and Co . and after counsel had
; b en w ? , _- _"' , . both Sldes ' Mr- Maltby was of opinion , as Mr . n llhs had adopted the scheme to get possession oftho bills , with the connivance and sanction of Mr . Mytton , that the ease did not amonnt to larceny , and that therefore he was bound to discharge the accused from custody . It appears that the plaintiff , after the decision , adopted other proceedings against Mr . Willis , and also againgt Mr . L . Goldsmid , who had assisted in getting the bills out of the hands of Mr . Hearne . An indictment was preferred against Mr . Willis and Mr . Goldsmid at the Central Criminal Court for conspiracy , and a bill having been fouud _, the defendants gave the respective notice with respect to putting in bail . On Monday , as the defendants were on their way to this court , just as they approached the door , tliey were taken into custody by a police-constable , on a judge ' s warrant . The defendants had evidently been
watched , and when they made their appearance the judge ' s warrant was produced and placed in the hands of Giblett , one of the police-constables attached to the court , with directions to execute it forthwith . —Mr . Lane , solicitor , who came with the defendants to put in bail , complained of the way in which the arrest had been effected . The parties were on their way to court , and they were entitled to protection . — Mr . Maltby inquired if the judge ' s warrant had been regularly executed ?—Giblett , the police-constable , said he had arrested the defendants before they entered the court . —Mr . Maltby said liis jurisdiction was at an end . it having been superseded by the warrant of a judge in a superior court . With respect to the mode in whieh the capture had been effected—that might ha a matter which _cc-vdd be brought before the judge , but he had no power to entertain the charge . —The defendants were then removed to the Queen ' s Bench Prison .
WORSHIP STREET . Monday . —Assaclt on the Pohce . —Two men named Thomas Cooke and James Randall , the former a powerful labourer in the Docks , and the latter an apprentice to a tobacco manufacturer in Whitechapel , were charged ivith having taken part in an attack upon several constables ofthe K division , from which two of them had sustained very serious injuries . It appeared from the evidence , that between twelve and one o ' clock on Saturday night , as police constable 345 K was on duty near Mile-end turnpike , he was requested by a gentleman to interfere for the protection of a woman , whom the prisoner Cooke was scandalously ill-treating . On attempting to take the prisoner into custody , the latter struck him a violent blow , which knocked hini down , and at the same time commenced an attack upon the gentleman . On recovering his feet , the officer made a second attempt to secure the prisoner , who againthrew liim to the ground , and , esclaiming with an oath that he would " showhim the Lancashire cut , " seized him with savage violence , and caused him such excruciating pain as to render him for some time incapable of further resistance . A mob of at least 200
persons now gathered round them , among whom was the other prisoner , Randall , who , with the assistance of several others , used his utmost exertions to rescue Cooke from custody ; and in the course ofthe struggle that ensued the constable received several very serious kicks in different parts of liis body . Other officers shortly afterwards came to liis assistance , one of whom , 71 K , endeavoured to rescue him , but Randall struck him down and kicked him several times in the loins and groin ; and it was only after a desperate conflict , which lasted nearly half an hour , that the two prisoners were at length overpowered and conveyed to the station , followed by a large crowd , who sided with the prisoners , and made two or three other attempts to rescue them . Mr . Broughton said , that he did not consider he should be doing his duty if he inflicted any pecuniary penalty upon Randall , whom he should commit for a month ' s hard labour in the House of Correction ; but with regard to the other prisoner , Cooke , the injuries the officers had sustained were of too grave a description for any judgment to be formed of their probable results at present , and he should , therefore , order that prisoner to be brought up again next week , by which time he would _, be in abetter position to determine how to deal with hiin .
Tuesday . —' Uttering Counterfeit _Siiver , and _Escafe of the Prisoner . — Thomas Bagshaw , alias Jones , aged 19 , the son of a . respectable tradesman in St . Luke ' s , was placed at the bar , before Mr . Bingham , charged with liaving uttered several counterfeit crown pieces to tradesmen in the neighbourhood of the Mile-end-road . — It appeared from the evidence of Mr . Thomas Esberger , landlord of the Halifax Arms , Mile-end , New-town , that Onthe afternoon of Sunday , the 9 th instant , the prisoner called at his house and ordered some spirits , with which he was served by witness ' s wife , and to whom he tendered a crown-piece m payment . She gave him his proper change , and he left the house ; but , directly he had done SO , the coin was discovered to be base metal , and witness hastened in pursuit of the prisoner , whom he overtook in an adjoining street , and insisted upon his returning the change he had received , wliich the prisoner readily complied with . While in conversation with him , however ,
a butcher living in the neighbourhood happened to pass by , and he immediately identified the prisoner as the person who had a few days before uttered another spurious crown-piece to a poor woman , who kept a chandler ' s shop next door to him _ ; and , on hearing tliis , he felt himself called upon to give tbe prisoner into custody . —Louisa Smith , the poor woman just referred to , was then called , and clearly established the second charge against the prisoner , who had purchased a trifling article at her shop on Wednesday , _ the 5 th instant , and paid for it with a base five-shilling coin , receiving his full change in good silver . —Police-constable Jenkinson , 53 G , identified the prisoner as having been convicted at the Central Criminal Court , in the month of October last , on a charge of felony , for which he was sentenced to three mouths' imprisonment * , and in the succeeding January he was again summarily convicted at Clerkenwell police-court of entering a house by means of skeleton keys , and for which offence he was also committed for three months . The prisoner had
likewise been in custody on several former occasions for passing counterfeit money ; and though every exertion had been used by his friends to effect a reformation in him , it was all entirely useless , and they had , therefore , now resolved toleave him to his own course . —The prisoner , who offered no defence , was then removed to the clerks' office , that the depositions of the witnesses might be taken , and when they had been completed the constable who had him in charge was directed to take him into the court to hear the evidence read over , preparatory to his final committal to Newgate . The policeman accordingly removed the prisoner into the yard , where he had occasion to turn round for a moment to collect his witnesses , and in the interim the prisoner silently darted like a deer through a private passage leading into the street , and was instantly out of sight . An active pursuit was made after hini , but up to the close of the court no trace of him had been obtained , and the witnesses were therefore obliged to be discharged , on the condition of their future attendance , should the prisoner be again captured .
Stealing a Watch . —John _Tarker Hams , a middle _, aged and well-dressed man , was charged with having stolen a silver lever watch , at the shop of Messrs . Brown and Walker , watchmakers and jewellers , in High-street , Whitechapel .-Mr . Charles Brown stated _. that at ten o ' clock on the preceding night thc prisoner entered the shop , and desired to be shown some lever watches , two of whicli were placed on the counter for his inspection . The prisoner declined purchasing these , as being too large , and asked to see some horizontal watches , Witness accordingly fetched several of that description from a tray in the window , but on turning round towards the prisoner , discovered that one of the lever watches was missing . He
made no observation to the prisoner about it , but gave private directions to one of the shopman to fetch a policeman and in tho meantime closed the door . The prisoner noticed this action , and suspecting his intention , after a little hesitation , drew the watcli aud his cloves from thc pocket of lus coat , and exclaiming , withau air of surprise , " Bless me ; why , here is one of your watches in my pocket —I suppose I must have taken it up by mistake wifh my gloves , " laid the watch upon the counter . The policeman shortly after arriving , the prisoner was given into custody and taken to the police-station , where he was searched , and no money whatever was found upon him . —The prisoner declined saying anything in defence , and Mr . Bingham fully committed him to Newgate for trial .
LAMBETH . Monday . —Furious Driving and Serious Accident , Mr . Henry Myers , a tailor carrying on business at No . 72 , Oxford-street , was chtirged before Mr . Henry with furious driving , and running over George Jones , a child of four _yc-ars ; of age , by which the latter was so seviouslv injured that its __ life is at present in great danger . —From the evidence it appeared , that on Sunday evening , about four o ' clock , the prisoner , while driving along the New Cut in a gigat a furious rate , knocked down the child , who received senous injuries by the horse trampling upon liim . On discovering the accident the prisoner increased his speed , lashed two or three persons with his whip who attempted to stop him , and would have got clear off but for a cabman who volunteered to follow liim , and who succeeded in
coming up with him about the centre of Westminsterbridge . —The father of the child deposed , that while his wife had been sitting up with the boy she unfortunately fell asleep and set fire to the bed-clothes and other thing ' s in the room , so that , in addition to his trouble about the injury to his child , he had also sustained a very serious loss by the accident . —The prisoner , in reply to the charge , said he should have pulled up the moment the accident happened , but the fact . was that lug horse became so alarmed at the noise made by the persons present , that he became quite unmanageable , and it was not until he had reached _Westminster-bridge that he was enabled to pull _iiiinjn . —Theprisoner was remanded for a week , but at the same time was admitted to bail for his appearance on Monday next ,

( Continued from our ei ghth page . ) Sir ft . Peel protested against the gross misconstruction which luid been placed upon what had fallen from him upon a former _evening . He had certainly deprecated the failure of the bill he had brought forward , and for the success of which , he knew he must rely upon thc gentlemen occupying the opposition benches , and he had not sought to _arrogate to the Government the credit of ori ginating a measure wliich had been always advocated by its opponents . He denied that ho was actuated by fear in bringing the Maynooth Bill before the house . ' On the contrary he might , indeed , be well charged with being actuated by fear if , believing the measure to be good , he shrunk from proposing it lest he should lay himself open to a charge of inconsistency . The right hon . baronet very happ ily replied to the attacks made upon him by Mr . Macaulay , whose
conduct upon the question he thought unworthy of the possession of the right hon . gentleman in that house . The present measure was the _revcr-jo of former concessions , for it was _uncalled for—no ono asked for—no one expected it , * there was no concession to agitation—it was thc voluntary offering to the Irish people oi that which ' was believed to be just , and that was preciselv the reason why it had been so favourably received in Iielaud . He sincerely hoped the house would not suffer it to be encumbered with the proposition of the hon , member for Sheffield . He - * Jso hoped tho amendment to be proposed by Mr . Lawwould fail , although it was so framed as to enable those to vote for it _** _to _^ . _W _™ S f „ _S _* _?™ _T Ho necessary funds from the Irish Establishment . He hoped i " the measure were to be d efeated , that it would be defeated up on principle , and not by a combination of parties noting upon views en . rely ad _vene to each othe and only united in the defeat o the bill .
r , Lord J . _RussEH . felt it necessary , before thc house separated , to state that he would vote for the motion of Mr . Ward , but he would decidedly oppose the motion intended to be moved by Mr . Law . The noble

lord contended that it could never be satisfactory to the people of Ireland to have alargo establishment for the Protestant minority , and no establishment whatever for the Catholic majority . Mr . Commons then moved the adjournment ot the debate , which was agreed to . _THuitsDAr , April 24 . RESUMED DEBATE OX MR . WARD ' S MOTION . Mr . CoiQuiiouif resumed the debate , and expressed himself much pleased with the way in which birK . Peel had brought forward the question of the grant , but informed the house that he could neither support the proposition ofthe right hon . baronet nor that of Mv . Ward . . _, " ... Mr . _Batesox followed in defence ot the Irish Church , and denounced the motion of Mr . Ward as a
proposition of confiscation and spoliation .. Mr . _Bauino could not see , from the recp tion which the bill had met with in Ireland , that the Roman Catholics were unwilling to be satisfied with any thing short of the destruction of the Protestant Church . Ho thought that the endowment bf the Roman Catholic clergy would be a great blessing to Ireland : still , for his part , any resolution to bind the house to a definite course of policy with regard to thc future , as it regarded Ireland , should command his most strenuous opposition . Mr . _Bernal supported the motion of Mv . _* Ward , and entered at some length into the arguments for and against the measure , and was desirous of knowing why the Tory side of the house , when in office in
1839 and 1840 , had not taken up the policy which now thev werc so anxious to carry out in Ireland . With regard to the grant of £ 26 , 000 proposed to be taken from the consolidated fund , he would suggest that it be raised by a tax on the landlords of Ireland , to the extent of 25 per cent ., being the amount taken from the church property by the appropriation clause of the Tithe Commutation Act of 1838 . Captain _Gladstone opposed the amendment and supported the Government proposition , believing that the state of the college of Maynooth was any . thing but what it ought to be . Lord Howick considered the present was not the proper time to bring forward such a motion as that ofthe member for Sheffield , though he admitted that
the establishment in Ireland , instead of assisting the Protestant cause , had retarded it in a very great degree . It was his opinion that all the evils and sufferings of that misruled country had resulted from that established Church ; and he hoped the day wasnot far distant when the Roman Catholics would be placed on an equal footing with the Protestants of Ireland , and the Government be induced to divide the ecclesiastical funds of that country equally between thc two churches . At the present time , though _, from tho circumstances of Ireland he thought it would be more politic to take the grant from the consolidated fund , still on principle he should vote for the proposition of the hon . member for Sheffield . Mr . Hamilton' defended the clergy of the Irish Established Church at some length . He considered they had been much misrepresented . He should vote _' against the motion oi * the hon . member for Sheffield .
Mr . Roche was sorry that the question had been brought forward during the progress of the Maynooth BiU ; but , notwithstanding that , he could not avoid giving his support to thc amendment of Mi * . Ward . The Irish Church , was an abuse which he hoped to see soon removed ; nothing less _" _, ought to satisfy the Irish people . Lord Palmerston supported the amendment on the ground that it was much better to take the grant out of the ecclesiastical funds of Ireland , than by a tax upon the people . Mr . Sydney Herbekt opposed the [ motion , maintaining that Parliament would be guilty of an act of gross injustice to the Irish Established Church , if it took the grant out ofthe Irish eccllesiastical Funds . Mr . Hindley and Mr . W . Barron briefly addressed the liouse amidst considerable manifestations of impatience , when a division took place . . The numbers
were—For Mr . Ward's amendment 148 Against it ... _ 322 Majority against it — -17 * 1 The house then went into committee pro forma , and the voting of the grant was postponed till the following evening . The house then adjourned at one o ' clock .
