y———————— mm ^ m mam MB . KiDD'S REJOINDER TO MB . CLARK'S LETTER . Mr . Clark has either ignorantly or intentionally misconstrued my challenge to him at the Stepney meeting . I cha longed bim to discnss the correctness or incorrectness of the '¦ news-set'forth in the first resolution , moved " . by Mr . Campbell , in the column of . a newspaper . Mr . Clark either did , or did not , accept my . offer . If he did ,. let him fulfil Ms pledge , by discussing the question in the press . If te did not , let him say at once that he declines the controversy in tie way desired by me .
I neither drew np , nor countenanced all the resolutions which the committee intended to submit to the decision of the Stepney meetings . But , I did think the first resolution correct in principle ; and , in my letter have endeavoured to prove it to he so . With what success , it is for Mr . Clark and others to judge . The readers of the Star know that I have no objection to a repeal of the laws of primogeniture and entail , and a reduction of taxation ; also , an extension of the Suffrage . Now , suppose I was to add to Mr . Clark's amendment a few additions , Buch as a separation of chorch and state , abolition of the game laws , abolition of capital punishment , colonial reforai , adjustment of the national debt ,
establishment of model lodging houses , public baths and washouses , &c . I dare say Mr : Clark would , himself admit , that those additions would render his" amendment more comprehensive . But , what relatisn would they bear to the duties of a government , as set forth in Mr . Campbell ' s resolution - ' First , let as discos 3 principles , and then the application of principles . If the kind of protec tion I think necessary be somewhat vageely' stated in the resolution that forms the basis of my argument , let Mr . Clark show in what way it is vague ; if my reasoning be fallacious , let Mr . Clark prove it to be so ; and when he has proceeded so far I will reply .
One thing at a time may seem rather a slow way of . business to some men , tome it is a sure way . And when Mr . Clark has replied to , or acknowledged the truth of my first letter , I will be very glad to enter into any other arrangements necessary for the diffusion of knowledge , and the promulgation of principles . Bat , until then . I say to Mr . Clark , either accept of my offer to discuss the question at issue in the colums of a newspaper , with the plainness of an honest man , or say that you do not accept of my offer . 1 certainly am in no way . pledged to discuss the effects of an abolition of the laws of primogeniture and entail , and an extension of the suffrage , as set forth in Mr . Clark's amendment .
-I- may add , that if Mr . Clark adheres to the principles advocated so unmistafeeably by him at the Stepney meeting , there are the fullest grounds of difference between myself and him . Mr . Clark asserts that the labourers of England require no protection from either foreign or home competition . I assert that they require protection from both . Mr . Clark asserts that all government interference with labour is unsound in principle . I assert that it is the duty of the government to interfere , and to protect the labourer . Mr . Clark asserts that buy at the cheapest mrfce ' : ; and sell at the dearest , under all circumstances , is the highest law of commerce . I assert that to buy at the cheapest market and sell at the
dearest , under all circumstances , is a robbery of the property of the poor for the benefit ef the rich , and trill , in the end , prove destructive to the happiness of all . I have stated the differences of opinion between * Mr . Clark and myself broadly , and as understood him to express his meaning at the Stepney meeting ; if I am in error I will be most happy to be corrected . Mr . Clark will not be offended with me for reminding him that , when he ¦ was a factory operative in Lancashire , be did not then advocate that the duties of government were purely negative ; and when be advocated the Ten Hours Bill , he did not then contend that laizzie fare ( or let everything alone ) was the wisest policy of a state . A study of the duties of government , and years of experience and reflection , may have entirely changed his opinions . So far as I am
concerned , the more that I think of the subject the more fully does it appear to my mind that the hizzesfaire theory applied to a society in which all the land and acoamnlated property are in the hands of a few men , is the most heartless and destructive doctrine ever taught in any country . I may be , and probably am , in error , for I have lived lon ^ enough in the world to know that I have before now sincerely advocated erroneous opinions . The fact that 1 have often erred in judgment , makes me the more desirous of reasoning all differences of opinion fully out ; and when Mr . Clark has settled the question at issue ( as stated in my first letter ) and informed me how far I have correctly stated liis views as opposed to mine , nothing on earth will give me more pleasure than to continue the discussion in any way that may be mutually agreed on , and may seem most desirable .
- As regards a restoration of the defunct corn laws , I wosld oppose the reimposition of a duty on corn imported from abroad . But there is the broadest possible difference between restoring an abrogated com law and government interference to regelate and protect labour . Such difference I would eE . deavour to make plain in a discussion on the general question . I would also suggest , that protection to labour has no more connexion with Toryism , that it lias with Whigeisra . or Chartism ; and as hints from
abroad sometimes serve to illustrate subjects at lorae , it may not be out of place to remark , that President Taylor of the United States ef America , — the president of a country in which Manhood Suffrage is the rule—has declared himself favourable to ' . protection to native industry / showing by the way that the most democratic people in the word hare elected for their first magistrate , aa anti-Free Trader , in the sense in which free trade is generally understood in England ; aad here let me caution the metropolitan trades .
, 'Working men of London , take good heed what you are about ; do not allow your movement to be mixed up with a movement in favour of a restored corn law , and always elect to preside at your meetings , one of your own body . Your cause , it is true , is too important to be easily damaged ; but never were times more critical than those in which we live . "We are now having a faction ana . party struggle . Your interests are not much cared for by either of the struggling parties . It therefore becomes the more necessary that you contend the more cautiously , but firmly and rationally , for what you think -advantageous for your own . and your country ' s interests . Yours faithfully , Samuel M . Kydd . Saturday , January 19 th .

Mb . J . BROtfTERRE O ' BRIEN'S LECTURES , THE NATIONAL REFORM LEAGUE : * * ' ' Mr . O'Brien having recovered from his recent illness has resumed his lectures in the InBtifcatfob ; John-street , Fitzroy-square . On Friday lasti after an address from him as President of the National . Reform League , the first quarterly report of the council of that body was read . It commenced--By stating that notwithstanding the paucity of means which the council had had at their command for appealing to the public , and - ' notwithstanding the general indifference to political agitation which'had of late prevailed in the public mind , the register of the League contained nearly 140 subscribers ; This
number was thought to be sufficiently large to afford a good omen of the success of ithe League , especially when it was considered , that as . the ultimate aim of the Association was the establishment of fundamental social rights—which have never yet been fully recognised in the world , together WI <* *" untried system ef political economy , the p arties ^ becoming members of the League were required to abandon many popular prejudices , and exercise their intellect in a somewhat comprehensive field of observation . After detailing the proceedings of the League , since its institution in October last , the report alluded to the actual progress which the rei forms it advocated were malting in society . The doctrine that the land of the country should belong
to the state , as trustee for the people , and that it should be gradually redeemed from the hands of private owners , was making way ; as also was the belief that a circulating medium , based on a gold standard of value , was radically unjust , and had now become the cause of great evils in Society . In predicating the probable course of public events during the present age , the report expressed the belief , that none of the Reform movements of the day , however triumphant they might become , could give substantial benefit to the wealth-producers . They were mere party questions , in which the interests of landlords , money-lords , and pro * fitists were conflicting for the mastery , but , in which , the interests of the useful labourer of
society were totally overlooked . It was hoped that tbe anomalous and contradictory assertions and theories of the prevailing political parties , would at length lead the working classes to discover the real causes of their oppression—namely , their present dependence on capitalists for employment , through the want of any adequate resources for producing weal th and consuming it , independent of landlords and money-lords ; a defect in . the social institutions of the world , which had now brought the labourer into a condition of wages , slavery worse than feudalism , and with few-advantages over the cbattle-slavery of America or the Brazils . The only movement with which the League could cordially sympathise , was that for the attainment of
the People s Charter ; because without the acquisition of Universal Suffrage , the undue assumption of political power , by the higher and middle classes , could not be successfully counteracted or prevented . It was hoped , too , that the historical experiences derived from recent continental events , will have disabused the industrious classes of the utter fallacy of expecting that any mere change in the name and form of a government without an alteration in its principles and spirit , would work any beneficial change for them ; for while usurers , landlords , and profitists held their present power , it matters little who or what is nominally the government , because government would be but a machine in the hands of these parties , for the forcible suppression of the
rights and privileges of the mass ofthereople . The report wound up by an exhortation to the members not to relax in their efforts to promote tbe League in public estimation ; and not to contrast too nastily the magnitude of its designs with the feebleness of its existing means to accomplish them . The conventional hypocrisy of the day might try to extinguish their aspirations with a sneer—but if they had faith in an harmonic system of society—if they believed that God had gifted man with powers adequate to work out his own terrestrial , as well as celestial salvation—if they believe that Deity punishes men by their sins , as well as for them—and if they believed that the . principles enunciated by the National Reform League would raise humanity
from its present degradation , they will not cease to proclaim those principles to the world , wherever their voices could be heard , or their words read . Martyrdom was neither expected nor required of the followers of the League ; nor that they should recklessly run a-muck at the existing institutions of society . They should be wise as serpents , but harmless as doves . They were told to remember that all great changes in society came from below , and not from the higher classes ; and that such revoluiions always commence with the minority , and not with the majority , which is always made up of the unthinking , slavish herd of mankind , whose doctrine is expediency , and whose characteristic is compromise . Nor needed they to be ashamed of
public criticism , because their principles could bear the tests of the trne Christian , the true moralist , and the true philanthropist . To the dominant schools of political economy and jurisprudence they were opposed ; but those schools were opposed to Scriptural Christianity , and to practical morality . The doctrines and principles of the League wonld , for the first time in the history of the world , enforce the practical recognition of the equality of human rights , and the reciprocity of human duties : they would necessitate justice between man and man , because under them honesty would indeed be found the best policy , as dishonesty- would be its own punishment . To those who ' looked askant at their proceedings , and were inclined hastily to
prejudge them as destructives and anarchists , they might ask , where would be found better guarantees of compensation for displaced interests , than those the League had suggested ? It must also be borne in mind , that the safety of the existing institutions of society is far from being unquestionable . In a country where so large an amount of forced idleness and poverty prevailed—with their concomitant vices —where pauperism was so general—and where , in one portion of its dominions alono , nearly three millions of people had , recently , been daily fed by government , property , law , and order , could not be said to rest on very safe bases . The members of the League might hope , then , that many who now
stood aloof would join their ranks , . when they properly understood their purports and aims . The difficulties to be encountered were great . Their , propagandism would be slow , becauso the heart as well as the head had to be converted . All important changes in public opinion and action required time to bring about—to imagine otherwise , would be to overlook all historical , and even physical analogies . But let them get rid of sophistry and systom-mongering—let them reason their great cause well out , and ultimately it would be won ! - , At the conclusion of the meeting the president announced that he had resumed his Sunday evening lectures , at 72 , Kewman-streefc ; where he invited parties to meet him in friendly discussion , on the principles of social and political science . .

THE BALLAST HEATERS
A meeting of the following gentlemen took place on Tuesday at the London Tayein : —Sir James Duke , Bart ., M . P ., in the chair ; Mr . Pearson , M . P . ; Mr . Pewtreas , Mr . Millavd , Mr . Harrison , Mr . Dakin , Mr . John Wood , the Rev . Mr . Cattley , Mr . Mayhew , and Mr . Delane . The object of the meeting was to take into consideration the state of the ballast-heavers and lumpers employed on the Thames . Mr . ' Mayhew der tailed at some length the distress which prevailed amongst the ballast-heavers and lumpers , inconsequence of the objectionable manner in which they are at present paid for their laborious employment . Mr . Pewtress entered into a statement of benefits
derived by the coal-whippers from the Act of Parliament passed for their protection , and which regulatedthe manner in which they were employed and paid . He drew a Btrong contrast between their former and their present condition .... They had . created a fund of their own , out of which they had established a school for their children and a "benefit society , and by a subscription " of a penny per man per ship they had formed another fund , which enabled them to grant pensions to the infirm members of their body . Nothing could be more gratifying than their clean and respectable appearance whenever they met together . The following resolutions were subsequently agreed to unanimously : — , . " . - - ' . ' . ...
That tbe inquiries made bj the Morning Chronicle into the state of labour and the poor haying disclosed the great extent of misery and destitution which ' consequently prevails amongst the labouring classes , produced chiefly by the mode in which they are at present " employed , and by the objectionable way in which their wages are paid , it is the opinion of this meeting that , without in the . slightest degree interfering with . the rights ot employers , some measures should be taken , to abolish the evils of the present system , . and secure to the labourers the regular payment of their wages . . , . .. . That it appears that the ballast-getters in the employ of the Corporation of the . Trinity House are well pud . but
that tbe ballast-heavers employed to shovel the ballast out of the Trinity House lighters are sufferers from the objectionable system by which they are engaged and paid . That a sub-committee be appoiutedto communicate with the Corporation of the Trinity Douse , and toascertain whether , consistently with their regulations , the ballast-heavers cannot be placed Bnder the control of tlie Trinity House in the same . manner as the ballast-getters . That the committee be also authorised to communicate with her Majesty's government , and to adopt such other measures' a ? may be most conducive to tbe attainment of the objects of the foregoing resolutions . The committee to consist of the gentlemen now present . . : ; "
The thanks of the meeting were then unanimously Toted to Sir James Duke ' for his kind and prompt attention to the objects of the meeting .

MIDDLESEX } SESSIONS : * ^
7 The criminal business for the January' adjourned general sessions commenced or Tuesdaymorning at Olerkehwell . The ? calendar wag . very lig ht ; ' there bein but sixty-four prisoriera for trial , and of these sixty ^ orie were indicted for felony . ' «••' .. " . ' ¦ "•> ¦ Ciiaboboi ' 'SHopHFHNa .-i-William Newbond was -ndicted for having ' stolen two silk- handkerchiefs , value 103 ., the , property of Richard Hudson " Telfor . MrvtJbllier appeared for the'prisoner . The prosecutbry a hosier and drapery - stated that on' the evening of the' 17 th of this month , the prisoner went into his shop and ' requested to be shown some handkerchiefs . ; That request was complied with , but in consequence of some peculiarity of manner with which he handled the handkerchiefs , he ( Mr . Telfer ) accused him of stealing two of them , and the
prosecutor distinctly swore t that upon that charge being made , the prisoner threw down two handkerchiefs , which formed a portioh of those whiclrhad been show : i to him over the counter , and which he had concealed under his-coat . Mr . Collier made a lengthy and ingenious address to the jury , and the prisoner was acquitted . '¦''" " i- "' . ' '¦ j Assault . —Two defendants , named Squires and Weeks , convicted at the December Sessioas of assaulting William Hardwick , were brought up for judgment ; The prosecutor , a colonial agent , residing in South-street , Finsburr , had bought of the defendant Squiers two pianos , for one of which he had paid ; and on his complaining that one of the instruments was inferior in quality to tho other , the defendants went to his house , and having used great
violence to Mr . Hardwick , took away both pianos in a cart . Mr . Parry appeared for Mr . Hardwick . The learned counsel stated that the defendant and his client had made an arrangement , b y which Spires was to pay down £ 23 , the price of the piano Mr . Hardwick had paid him for , and \ £ 10 costs ; Mr . Hardwick wished it to be understood that Squiers retracted all the offensive expressions ho had used in reference to him . —The learned judge was very glad such a course had been adopted , and complimented Mr . Hardwick upon the spirit he had exhibited throughout the proceedings . The £ 23 was then paid ; and a nominal sentence having been passed , the defendants were discharged . ; ¦ - ' !• Extraordinary Case of Begging-letter Impo : sition . —John Thomas Simpson Jones , 36 , a
respectably dressed man ; but one of the most notorious begging-letter impostors in England , was indicted for having obtained by false pretences two halves of a £ 5 Bank of England note ,-and also the sum of £ S , from Mr . John Collingridge , a gentleman ' of fortune residing at Sunbury . Mr . Phinn and Mr ; Lempriere appeared for the prosecution , and Mr . Pfendergast appeared-for the prisoner . The prisoner / pleaded dutrefois acquit , but as he was not prepared to put in , that plea in writing , and refused to make any other plea , the Court ordered the plea of cot guilty to be entered . —Mr . Phinn then proceeded to state the case to the jury . Ho said the character of the investigation they were about to enter upon was one which , though supported by very simple facts , was of considerable public interest and importance ;
though not of frequent occurrence in a court of justice . The prisoner was charged in the indictment with having by false pretences obtained from the prosecutor certain monies ; and the false representations upon which he so obtained the money were contained in what were very well known as "begging-letters , " and it would appear that the prisoner was one of those pests who defrauded the charitable and benevolent portion of the public by assuming false characters , concocting pitiful stories of woe , afiiction , and trouble , and appealing to compassionate feeling and sympathies , and vrho thereby perverted the stream of public charity from those channels in which , for the interests- of society it was desirable that it . should flow . The prosecutor , Mr . Collingridge , was a gentleman
who resided at Sunbury Villa , in this county , and who also had a residence in Pulteney-street , Bath ' , and the prisoner haying got possession of his Bath address fowarded him a letter thither ; but at that time , July last year , Mr . Collinridgelwas ' at Sun > bury , and the letter was re-posted to him there . In consequence of that letter , Mr . Collinridge sent a post-office order for £ 3 in favour of a person named Brewer , to the Post-office at-Graveserid , and the circumstance of the letter having been sent to Bath gave rise to the supposition that the Bath Sessions had jurisdiction in the case , but the Recorder decided that the money had been obtained in
Middlesex , and therefore the case was brought to this court for trial . —James Brewer stated that he was now a prisoner in Bath gaol , under a conviction for obtaining money by false pretences , or rather by begging letters . He had . known the prisoner about three years . In July last they both lived at No . 21 , Liflington-street , Yauxhall-road , and he ( witness ) showed him a letter which Mr . Collingridge , the prosecutor , had given him , for treatment at the Bath ; Dispensary . Jones took down the address , and wrote a letter to Mr . Collingridge , and directed witness to proceed to Gravesend to post it . The letter was here put in ; it was as follows : —
Gravesend , July 30 , ' 49 ., Sib , —Permit me to address you in a case of charity at the earnest entreaty of James Brewer , a young man whom you iiavo been very kind to on several occasions , and some months ago gave him £ 1 3 s . to take him to Leamington . He was ordered here for the benefit of sea bathing , but the air bein ; too keen for his delicate frame , he has been ad-Tised to endeavour to gain admission to the Consumption Hospital at Brompton , near London . He is in' very distressed circumstances , and has no means of paying the feei of that institution , and is also indebted .-here to rliis landlady for board . Tour kindnesi to him before induces him to hope that once more , and for the last time , you might render him some little assistance to enable him . to make up £ 2 10 s ., all that he is deficiemt of . I have taken m * re than usual interest in his case , having given him £ 2 10 s .,
and some linen . The writer then proceeded to . request that an enclosure might be forwarded to the Gravesend Post-office for Brewer , as he ( the writer ) was about to leave for Scotland . —( Signed ) John Scott , M . D . - - Witness continued—He posted eight or nine other letters at the same time as he posted the one just read , and when he went to Gravesend , in a few days afterwards , he received several letters in answer to them , including one from Mr . Collingridge , enclosing a Post-ofSce order for £ 3 , irhichhe at once got cashed , and one enolosing £ 5 from the Queen Dowager . He returned to LondoB , and halved the money with the prisoner . Shortly afterwards he went to live at Bath , and the prisoner and a woman named Farrwent to live with him . He was the party referred to in theletteri'but it was all fictioiis about his wanting to get into the Bromp ton . Hospital . The prisoner wrote the
letter . In cross-examination tho witness said he had been a begging letter iraposter about three years , having ' jbeen Ted into' it by a companion of the prisoner named Sullivan ; ' but that be had not got his living by means of employment since 1843 ; in which year he was thrown from a coach ' in ; the Somerset-road , and was severely hurt ; There were two charges against him at ; Bath ; he pleaded guilty to one , and was sentenced to four months ' imprisonment , with hard labour . Did not expect a mitigation , of bis sentence , if the prisoner was convicted . —Inspector Tate , of the Bath constabulary , and Brunswick Harrison , a , Bath ofiBcer , produced a quantity of begging letters which were found in Brewera ' s house . They likewise produced a number © f- "Court Guides , " Dod ' s and Burke ' s " reerages , " and Dod'& " Parliamentary ' Companions , " which were found there also . —In the
cross-examination of these officers ; it transpired that the prisoner was apprehended on a charge of stealing a gold watch . On searching Brewers ' s house , these retterswerefouhd . —Mr . Collingridge proved having received the letter , and sent the £ 3 . He should certainly not have sent it , had he not believed the representations contained in the letter were genuine . —Mr . Cours , postmaster at Gravesend , proved that the money was paid to the prisoner , who received the letter . There was no Dr . Scott at Gravesend . —From evidence then gone ; into to substantiate the other charge in the indictment , it appeared that when at Bath , the prisoner'had , by some means , become aware of the circumstances that Mr . Collingridge was remotely related to a family of that name in Northumberland , ' and he at once assumed the character of a member of that family , and wrote to Mr . Collingridge . :
The letter stated the writer to be tho " » on of tho lateReV . W . C . ColliBgridge , ' of Newcastle , and that ho had resided for many year «' » t Cape St . Mary / Western coast of Africa , where he had been engaged in mercantile pursuits . That by the upsetting of a shallop he had lost j ? 2 , 760 , being the savings orseveral years . The burning heat of the torrid xone had so injured bis constitution , that he returned to England . ¦ The medical profession had advised him to try the benefit of the Bath waters ; His funds were exhausted , and he had no friend * at Bath . The writer , -: then in very delicate t * nna , proceeds to ask for a gift , concluding with , I remain , sir ; your obedient servant , John Henbi Coiukgbidqd . Addreis ; Mr . J ; H . Collinjrid ge ( when called for } , late from Africa , Post-onke , Chippenham , Wilts ; ; V Mr . Collingridge deposed that in answer to this letter he posted one halfof a \ £ 5 iioto as desiredand
, oh the receipt of that' being acknowled ged , he sent the other hall . ' He got a . letter of thanks in return , in which the writer prayed for his spiritual welfare . —The schoolmaster of Bath' gaol and Kate Phillips proyed the letters to be in the prisoner ' s handwriting / ; The latter ' witness was the wife of a adldier ' , and lived at 21 , Lillington-street , and had frequently seen the prisoner attired as a clergyman . He went occasionally by , the name of Mason and M'Kinlay . He told her that he got a good living' by writuig begging letters . ' —Mr . ri ; endergast then , at great length , submitted that the case could not be maintained . uDOn the , ground that the venue had been
wrongly laid , the money , in the one instance , having been obtained in Kent , and the other in Wiltshire . —Mr . Phinn contended that as soon as the prosecutor had parted withhis money ; By depositing it in the post-office at Sunbury , the fraud' was completed—The leared Judge ultimatel y said he would reserve the point for the deoision of the : Court of . Criminal'Appeal . ' —The jury found the prisoner ; " Guilty /'—Mr . Phinn thought it right : that'the court should know something of thisaian ' character . Ho . was one of the . most ingenious im-i posters in the country , and had , in the . guise of a ! clergyman , had : interviews with the late Queen . :

His family are actually destitute of a bed , bedding , table , arid chairs . ' On Monday he intends opening a boys ' school , 'arid when he can pay 7 s . Odi for four more forms , will establish an evening scientific lecture
for the support of his three destitute , motherless children , ( one , fourteen , i 9 slowl y recovering from brain fever . ) His troubles arose from his own frequent illness , the want of employment , and the four and a half years' illness of his late wife . An early reply is humbly solicited . " —Sir . Goodman ( the chief clerk ) observed to his lordship that the rev . doctor happened to be well known at several of the London poliotfbffices , as a person who contrived to obtain contributions from the public upon groundless ; but apparently very reasonable clainiB upon their sympathies . i—Tiie Lord Mayor said that the doctor ' s
communication had the merit of condensing a great many ^ miseries in a very few lines , but the style was perfectly well understood amongst the frequenters of the police offices of the metropolis ; It was satisfactory to find that there were some gentlemen who ¦ would -take the trouble to inquire into cases of alleged distress , before they : put their hands in their pockets ; to comply with the solicitations of their correspondent . The observation of such a rule , for the regulation of private charity , would do more towards the practical effect of beuevolence , and giving a check to the successful manoeuvres of knavesthan any other course .
, CLERKENWELL . — A Good Riddance . —W . Day , a smart-looking young man , was put at the bar before . Mr . Tyrwhitt , charged with stealing a dozen of silver spoons , two beds , six chairs , a set of drawers , and other property , belonging to a person of the same name , residing at . Berkhampstead . Mr . Sidney , the solicitor of Hattori-garden , attended for the prosecution . —It appeared from the evidence that on Thursday week the prisoner took away from the prosecutor ' s house , hot only his plate and furniture , but his wife , a woman twenty-five years old . With the aid of Mr . Collins , the detective officer of
the X division , he traced the property to Paradiseplace , Islington , where the prisoner was in bed with the female . —Mr . Tyrwhitt asked prosecutor if he had recovered his goods ?—He said he had , excepting his wife . ( A laugh . ^ Mr . Moulds ( the clerk : ) Do you want her ? I believe she is in eourt .-pPn > - secutor ( mournfully : ) Oh ; no ! She is the worst of the furniture : ( Laughter . )—The "Wife here exclaimed ; Now , Smike , what have you to say ?—The poor fellow dropped his head , but made no reply . —Mr . ' Tyrwhitt ; siricerely pitied bis misfortune , and committed the prisoner in the custody of Collins , to Hertford gaol for trial .-
THAMES . —Caution to Emigrants . —A person named Wootton , lately a lodg ing-house-keeper at Margate / applied to Mr . Yardley under the lollowing circniriatances : —He said that in November last he treated with a company , whose office is in'Jewrystreet , Aldgate , for a passage for himself and family , who were about to emigrate to Port Natal , agreeing to pay a sum of £ 40 . On the 29 th or 30 th of that month he received a letter from a Mr . Bine ; who , ho understood , was secretary to Mr . Hacketti the principal , urging him to pay up , aa final arrangements were being rapidly made . He therefore lodged £ iQ ' , in two instalments of £ 20 each ; to the credit of Mr . Hackett , in the bank of Messrs . Barclay and Co ., ' for which he exhibitedthe receipts .
He was ordered to be ready on the lath ult ., at which time it was stated the vessel ( the . Toronto ) would leave London . Ho hastily ordered his broker to sell his goods , which was done at a considerablo loss under the circumstance , and came at once with his -wife and children up to Iohdon ; but there was no Toronto to start . After the lapse of some time he waa , 'directed to take his effects to the West India Docks , being informed that he and his family were to have their passage in a vessel called the Hebrides , but , up _ to the present time , ho-saw no prospect of pursuing the voyage . He -had been here 8 ince the 12 th of December , at considerable expense ; consuming what little the sale of his effects had Drbduced . arid , owinff to the cruel delay , ruin
was staring him and his famil y in the face . In answer to the ' magistrate , applicant said he knew nothing of Mr . Hackett , but that he was a squire , and he understood Mr . Bine to be his secretary . — Mr . Yardley told him , that as the money had been paid in the City , he had better make his complaint to the Lord'Mayor , who would , no doubt , under the Passengers Act , enable him not only to recover the money he had advanced , but likewise . the ex * pehses to which he ' had been put . —The' poor man gratefully thanked his worship , and withdrew , saying he would immediately do so . ¦ ¦ ' ¦ •<¦ WORSHIP-STREET . —An Artful Thikf . —A smartly-dressed young woman , named Mary Ann Deevy . was charged with hiving stolen four ten
pound Bank of England notes and two sovereigns , the property of Mr . Theophilus Burton , a butcher , in Pearsdn-street , Kingsland-road . —The prosecutor stated that tbo prisoner was formerly in his service as maid of all work , but having unfortunately met with an accident a few weeks since , which disabled hev from further duty , ho was compelled to > discharge her . The prisoner , however , continued occasionally to visit the house under pretence of seenig his children , for whom she professed the greatest attachment ; and was well aware of the fact that he was intRe habit of keeping his money in a small box , whichwas deposited in a larger box in an upper room to which she had frequent access on those occasions . ' 'The last time shecalledto see them was
on Thursday afternoon the 17 th inst ., when she remained - some time in the room in question , and shortly after her departure he discovered that his cash-box , containing four £ 10 notes and two sovereigns ; had disappeared ; and on the following morning one of his men discovered the'box lying open in an- " outhouse" adjoining tho ^ shop , the whole of its contents having been abstracted from it . Feeling satisfied that the prisoner had carried off the money ; he procured the assistance of Police ' constable Zinzard , with whom he . proceeded to the house of tie * mothei , where he found : the prisoner , and at once accused her of haviiig robbed him ; which she at first stoutly denied ; but on being further pressed , she handed him a purse containing ten
sovereigns ; and some silver , which she stated to-be all that was left of the stolen property , as shehW lost tho remainder through a hole « i her pocket ; While the officer was engaged , however , in searching the apartmenti he observed the prisoner pass something in a furtive manner to one of her sisters , who hastily secreted it at the bottom of a cupboard , on examining winch he fouhd \ a dirty piece of paper , with two of the missing £ 10 notes wrapped up in it . A quantity of women's wearing apparel and other articles , which had evidently been recently ; purchased , were ' also discovered , and the prisoner admitted that the whole of them had been bought witha portion of the money she had stolen from the
prosecutor , upon which she was given into custody . —The prisoner , who declined onering-any defence , was ordered to be remanded' for ' a- week : . ' ¦ : ' ¦¦ ' Gross Outra ge;—John Williams , a diminutive Lascar mendicant ; of most repulsive aspect , was p laced at the bar-bef 6 re Mv . Hammill , charged with the following outrpgeous attack upon a young lady , named' Catherine Mather , ' fourteen years of age , the daughter of a dissenting minister , residing in Welbeck-street ; Cavendish-square . —The young lady stated that she was . proceeding through Hackney-downs shortly after two o ' clock that aiterndon , accompanied by her . father , with the intention of visiting her grandmother , who resided ' at Upper
Clapton , and had just reached the end of a secluded lane leading to her destination , . when her father requested her to walk slowly on and he would overtake her in a few minutes . She had not advanced many yards down tho lane when the prisoner came up to her from the opposite direction , and , holding out a biscuit he was eating , invited her to take part of it ; but , without giving her time to reply , he suddenly seized her round tho waist , and flung her down m the centre oftthe pathway . The prisoner then- knelt over her ; and proceeded- to acts < of gross violence which it is impossible to' describe ; but she grasp , edhim ti ghtly by tho hair , and wa s forcing him back ; when he triedto fix his teeth in her hand bui shecontriyed . toseisiebim . by tholowerlip . with * her finger . nails , ana icreamed , loudly , ( or ^ ashtunoe ,

Hammill regretted the course thei young lady . s father had felt it necessary to adopt , as the outrage was of too gross a nature to be summarily dealt with , and asked the police-sergeant if he considered the prisonerto be suffleientiy acquainted with the English ldnguajgeto understand fuljy the whole of thefacts Aileged ^ again 8 t him?—Sergeant Mate replied in the affirmative , as he expressed himself fluently in good
English at the time he reached the station ; and Holland , the wari'ant : offieer , ' confirmed the sergeant ' s statement , and said that ho had known him as a vagrant beggar for a considerable period , and bielieved that he lived in one , of thei low , tramper 3 ' haunts in the neighbourhood of Whitechap ' el . —Tho prisoner made no remark while this conversation was taking place , and Mr . Hammill said , that though he was quite convinced the prisoner fully comprehended the nature ; of the evidence gone into , it would be more satisfactory to have it detailed to him in a more formalmanner ; and he should therefore order the . prisoner to be brought up again in a week , that . the attendance of an interpreter might be procured . ;' : BOW-STREET . —Assault;—C .

charged with assaulting a young man named Cotterel . —The complainant , whose eye was shockingly out and bruised , and who appeared to suffer the most acute pain , was previously charged by policeconstable No . 114 P division , with being drunk and disorderly in the street .

Last night , before he was required to perform his duties , he entered the
Pavilion ; Tavern , near the new Olympic Theatre , where a number of booksellers generally met , and he played a game at bagatelle with ' three others , including the prisoner , who lost . Witness went down stairs to pay the reckoning , and , while standing at the bar , the prisoner suddenly turned him round arid struck him a tremendous blow on his left eye . His eye was very much cut , and the blood flowed from it most profusely . ' He was rendered incapable of wprking in consequence , and ho became intoxicated afterwards by nis friends treating him , for which ho was y CTy sorry . —The prisoner , in defence , said there was a dispute about the reckoning , and tho complainant used the most disgusting language towards him and struck him several times on the head . He admitted he struck the complainant in
his own defence . He afterwards gave Cotterel a shilling' arid a pot of beer , not to say anything moreaboutthematter which he promised to do . — The prisoher called a witness , ^ ho confirmed him in what he said about the shilling . —The complainant was recalled ,, and denied positively that he received a shilling . —Mr . Jardine said it' was difficult to get at the truth in this case , but he was quite certain no man would strike another without provocation , unless , he was either mad or drunk . According to the prisoner ' s defence ' , the' complainant had been most brutally assaulted ; and his appearance showed that he had been severely knocked about . He fined the . prisoner 10 s . for the assault , and allowed the complainant an opportunity of procuring his own fine .
