For this she had been at Buxton , and It was thought that her health had much improved . Roiliin ; peculiar was observed in her conduct on
Tuesday , but she . attended her domestic duties as usual as well as her strength would allow . In the evening she went up stairs , and some time afterwards the door of her room was discovered to be fastened . A ladder -was obtained , by -which the room was entered and the door unfastened , and on the husband going into the room with a candle , a dreadful spectacle presented itself . His wife was laid extended on the bed with two fearful gashes in her throat , and life quite extinct . There was a razor and a pool of blood on the floor , and a portion of the blood bad trickled through the flooring into the room below . Mr . Key worth , surgeon , was sent for , but , of course , too late to render the female any assistance . An inquest was held on Wednesday before Mr . Wood , the coroner , and the jury
returned a verdict that "the deceased had cut her throat whilst labouring under temporary insanity . " The second inquest was held the same day on the body of a young female named Smith , who had drowned herself . This event happened on the same night . The deceased had been labouring , for some tune nnder a depression of spirits , and had complained that she could not appear in as decent clothes as any other person . She had declared she -would drown herself . She was heard to fall into the Ouso by some person near , and immediately to Titter the exclamation , " Oh dear ! " An alarm was raised , but no assistance could be rendered , and she sunk . There was no positive evidence as to tow she got Into the -water , and therefore a verdict of " Found Drowned " was recorded .

The follovr ing particulars are given in the Eintfs County Chronicle : — " Itappears that on Monday afternoon , Mr .

An inquest was held on the bedy by Mr . Marcus Kelly , coroner . Mr . yorth having been obliged to take proceedings against some tenants , is the reason assigned for his assassination . "
The Great Fire is the Cirr . —Notwithstanding that upwards of a week has elapsed , there was , as late as nine o'clock on Thursday night , a quantity of fire still remaining in the ruins of the premises destroyed . The salvage , it is now feared , will not be worth one-half of the amount it was expected at first , owing to the fire acting upon it for so many days . From the inquiries made by the surveyors to the different fire-offices they have ascertained that the losses will far exceed the amount they originally expected . Child Left is a Railway Carriage . — On a
lady and gentleman getting into a first-class carriage on the Greenwich Railway on Wednesday evening , to proceed to London by the half-past nine o ' clock train , they were astonished to find a fine child lying on the seat , evidently about four or five weeks old , and very elegantly dressed . Information was immediately given to the inspector , and an injury made , but the party was not to be found . The child was removed to the workhouse . Extraokdisaby Case of Self-Ampdtatiox . —On Friday , Mr . W . Baker , coroner , held an inquest at the London Hospital on the body of Edward

On Saturday , the 14 th inst ., shortly before one o ' clock , witness was removing some timber from the saws which were in motion to the other end of the building . He had been absent two or three minutes when lie was
alarmed by a piercing shriek , and on hastening to the spot he found the deceased lying close to the saws in an insensible state , his left arm completely cut through between the shoulder and elbow * joint , and only adhering by a small piece of skin . He had him removed immediately to the hospital . The deceased had no business at that spot , and he had frequently chastised him for playing with the saws . After theaccident he picked up a small piece of ¦ wood , partly sawn through , which deceased admitted he was playing with when the action of the machinery was too strong for him , and he was pulled over it , his left arm falling across the working saw . —Mr . Mountford , house surgeon , stated that the left arm was cut through as clean as if it had been amputated scientifically . The deceased went on very well for some days when fever supervened , which caused his death on Wednesday . Verdict . " Accidental death . "
Accident at Bibkexhead . —On Thursday afternoon a serious accident occurred at the new dock works , by which six men were more or less injured . It appears that the men were employed in hoisting large blocks of stone by means of a moveable crane or jenny , the stones being placed on trucks for removal to a distant part of tho works . While so engaged , one of the stones , a block about six tons weight , proving too heavy , the crane gave way with a heavy crash , falling upon the unfortunate men . One of them had both thighs broken , a second received a fracture of the skull , and a third had his legs very much injured . ^ These were conveyed to the hospital , where they lie in a very dangerons state . The remaining three were cut and bruised about the head and other parts of the body , but their wounds are not considered of a dangerous character . It is said that the accident arose from an imperfection in the crane , which had been out of use for a long time .
Extensive and Destructive Fihe at Bristol . — A very alarming and destructive fire broketout on Friday morning , at the Grove , near the floating harbour , Bristol , and notwithstanding the efforts used to subdue it , it conld not be got under until the premises occupied by Mr . Humphreys , corn merchant , Messrs . Whitwell and . Allward , ship chand ' lersyMessrs . Smith and Downing , provision-merchants , and Mr . E . Reed , eailmaker , had been completely gutted , and considerable damage done to a house in Queen-square , occupied by a person named Bayley , as a lodging and-boarding house . The fire broke out at abont two o ' clock , on the premises of Messrs . Whitwell and Allward , whose stock , being of a very combustible nature , caused it to burn with
great fierceness and rapidity , soon wrapping the adjacent buildings in flames . The fire continued to rage with unabated fury for many hours , placing the shipping in the floating harbour , among which were many first clasa vessels ready for sea , in jeopardy . Indeed , had the wind been from the north-• ward , some of them would , in all probability , have sustained damage . When the house in Queen-square caught the inmates were in bed , and many of them had to make their escape in their night clothes . The ' total damage cannot be estimated at less than £ 6 , 000 . Among the property , either destroyed or greatly injured , were a number of fine paintings by the old masters , belonging to Mr . Gomersall , jun ., the comedian , who was a lodger at Mr . Bayley ' s hoo 3 e . Mr . Humphreys and Messrs . Smith and Downing were insured . Messrs . Whitwdl and
Allward partially so ; and Mr . Creed uninsured . The cause of the fire is not known .

-SraWsSS s-. '&f ' sfss ance in character m eopening , on account AMtwas «" Jf ° - £ Kean ' s Viola , so has ifarn-Cf the celebntv- of * J * nexfc { the fc of *? ^ nval B " e Mag the one of all the Shakspear-S SSwltMch Mr Keanismost ulenti-« S Hwihg bestowed on this character tho most minute attention , he has brought it to a finish which we do not find in many modern delineations . Hence , while he briars out with remarkable force all the more salient situations , such as the play-scene and the interview with Gerfrude , he affords a constant ^ ratification by the elaborate manner in which he works out less prominent details . There is not a
passage which does not give evidence of the most careful study , and hence there is something remarkable satisfactory in the impression left at the end of the play . The character of Ophelia receives a new value in the hands ol Mrs . Kean , who first played it at the Havmarket . The vacancy of madness is most delicately blended with glimmerings ol reason indicated by the varied tones and glances with which she addresses tho several personages aroum her , and the songs are given with the nicest regard to dramatic expression . Gertude is sustained in a dignified manner by Miss Phillips . The comic
characters came out remarkable well . Mr . Harley , as the first gravedigger , was overflowing with sententious importance ; and the air of wondering silliness with which Mr . Meadows , as the second gravedigger , responded to his wisdom , wad admirably assumed . The traditional fopperies of Osric are rendered with good effect by Mr : Wigan . The mise en scene is deserving of . ill praise . The scenery , without being so gorgeous as to distract attention from the figures in the action , is beautifully painted , and in the best taste . The play-scene , with the tapestried decoration , is . if we mistake not , of a novel character . The theatre was crowded in every part .

THE QUEEN'S . This theatre has been newly painted and decorated during a short recess , and presents an appearance of chasteness and elegance not _ surpassed in any house in the metropolis ; alterations have also been made which must greatly add to the comfort of visitors , while the advance of prices will make the juvenile portion more select . The winter season commenced with a domestic drama entitled The Old Mil Stream . Tliis , like most pieces produced under this management , conveys a striking moral to the industrious classes , warning them not to be lured from the path of virtue bjr the specious promises of tho " higher orders , ' and shows the bitter misery and wretchedness awaiting the votaries of crime . The scene between the poor and rich villains Caleb Foxley , ( Mr . E . Green , ) and Everard St . Clair , { Mr . Bedford , ) on whose acting , together with Mrs . C . Boyce , as
the Miller ' s Daughter , the piece mainly depends , was most effective . A new fairy extrvaganza followed , entitled the Valley of Diamonds or the City of the Stars . This , as expressed in the bills , is produced on a scale of splendour utterly regardless of expense ; indeed , the seenery is of the most gorgeous arid brilliant description , and nothing can surpass the grandeur and effect of the last scene . The celebrated danseuse , by Madlle Celeste Stephnn , from Her Majesty's and the Princess' Theatre , aided by the petite- Serverni , added much to its attraction , and the jaunty air and swagger of Mrs . Manders , who personated the hero , elicited rapturous applause . We shall refrain from describing the plot of either of the pieces , but advise our play-going readers to see and judge for themselves ; in the meantime , vie congratulate the manager on the improvements effected , and hope his exertions will be amply rewarded .

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Mr . George Barker has been engaged during the week in delivering a highly interesting and pleasing lecture at this establishment , on the Ballad Afusio of England . He commenced by stating he should confine himself , therefore , to a few general remarks . The cultivation of tho voice had been allowed by some of the most eminent medical professors to be one of the most healthful exercises that could be taken ; indeed , the exercise of the voice was to the lungs what walking was to the body ; it strengthened the respiratory organs in a manner most effectual ^ . Mr , Barker then proceeded to describe the various national styles of music , such as the gushine melody of Italy ;
the massive and grand compositions " of Germany ; the light and laughter-stirring style of France '; ' the romantic and imaginative style of Spain ; while the bold , striking , and impressive ballads of England , Scotland , and Ireland , told of the free and generous nature of her people . The lecturer , after the conclusion of his remarks , commenced to illustrate his discourse with numerous beautiful and touchihg ballads , the following being the chief : — " The Dream of Life , " " Mary Blane , " "The Irish Emigrant ' s Lament , " "Patri ma cushla , " and concluded with "Shall I wasting in despair ? " We were happy to see that the great hall was completely crowded by a highly respectable eudienco .

> + > Murder , Robbery , and Arso . v in France . —A triple crime ( says the Conciliateur de VAu . de ) has been committed in the commune of Issel , belonging to the arrondissement of Castelnaudary- murder in order to commit robbery , and arson to destroy all proofs of the two former crimes . The presumed culprits are in the hands of justice . The following details have transpired : —In the night of the 17 th of September a fire broke out in the commune of Issel , and destroyed three houses and a barn , notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of the population to arrest the progress of the disaster . The body of Frangoise Euguin , a widow , was taken from amidst the ruins in a state of semi-calcination . It was remarked that none of the copper or iron utensils ,
of which the house of the widow was known to be furnished , could be found , and a suspicion arose that they had been stolen . On the 20 th of September a ceremony took place at which the whole popu lation of the locality were anxious to be present ; it was the burial of M . Cabanis , notary and mayor of the commune . Eugenie Auriol , granddaughter ol Frangoise Enguin , recognised upon the head of Angelique ^ Fabre , who was following the funeral procession , a coiffe which had belonged to her grandmother , and immediately proceeded to declare this fact to the adjoint , who summoned Angelique Fabre before him , and questioned her as to how she became possessed of the coijfe . She replied that she had bought it of a man named Guilhem , and that
they might search her house , for she was sure they would find nothing but what belonged to her . The adjoint , taking her at her word , proceeded with the garde ekampitre and several- other persons to the house of Angelique Fabre , where discovery was made of a bed with furniture complete , ten chemises , seven petticoats , three jackets , two cauldrons , a saucepan , and a multitude of other articles , which were recognised by her relations and neighbours as the property of Widow Enguin . All these objects were deposited in the keeping of the mayor . On the 21 st the Procurer of the Republic , the investigating magistrate , and the Lieutenant of the Gendarmerie repaired to Issel . Angelique Fabre was brought before them , and , if our information
be correct , there stated that the furniture found in her house had belonged to the unfortunate widow , from whom they had been stolen under the following circumstances . Angelique cohabited with a man named Baatenille , living in the commune of St . Paulefc— Being Without furniture or linen , he had asked her if she did not know of a house where he could obtain some , and she pointed out that of the Widow Enguin , a woman of eighty-five , living by herself . It was agreed that she should be robbed and murdered , and that , after removing the goods , the house should be burnt . The plan appears to have been carried into effect . The body of the widow has been exhumed , but no positive traceB indicating the use of violence could be found , owing to the calcined state to which it was reduced . An .
gelique Fabre was committed to the House of Detention , and on the 23 rd Bastonille was arrested , and forthwith confined in the same prison . —rime * . Db . Gbakge , of Geneva , who has devoted a great part of his life to the study of the causes and cure of cretinism , has just published the result of his observations . It appears that both cretinism and wens proceed from the same cause , and that these disorders are particularly endemical in countries where the soil and waters are very rich in magnesia . Dr . Grange asserts that any person may get
a wen , if such be his fancy , by drinking at springs highly impregnated with magnesia . He states iodurated kitchen-salt , used for culinary purposes for the space of a year , to be a certain cure for and preservative against the wen , without producing any other infirmity . Dr . Grange recommends his government to distribute iodurated salt in those places where the goitre is most prevalent . He also shows , from statistical accounts , that wens , contrary to universal' belief , are more frequent m flat than in mountainous countries .
Six hundred of the workers in Sir Elkanah Armitage ' s mill at Manchester have " struck ; " they say their employer has been pay ing them twentyfive per cent , less than other manufacturers , and they demand equal wages . A Fortunate Escape . —A porter of a house in the Rue St . Lazare having gone on the roof to clean out the gutter , lost his balance and fell over into the court . Fortunately for him , some clothes were drying on a line , across which he fell ; and , his fall having been thus broken , the linen coming under him and forming a kind . of bed , he escaped without the slightest injury . —Galignani's Met tnger . . . ...-.... - ' .

MAJS ' sl ' ON-DOUSE . —A Man in "Difficulties . " --a man / of rather stately deportment , who said he wasaraUwaya ' genV was brought before Alderman Gibbs , charged ' with haying walked into tho premises adioiningabanking-house in Lombard-street , without having any business to transact there . — The defendant , tho rapid movement of whose eyes indicated that all was not right withip , had been seen looking about cautiously , in his own opinion , but in such a manner as to excite great caution in Other people , and at last slipping in at a hall door which was most invitingly open . He was followed , and asked whom he wished to sec , and what business ho had to transact , and as his answers were
wholly beyond the comprehension of those who addressed him , he wa 3 handed over to the care of the police , and taken to the Compter , where he seemed to bo very comfortable during two or three days ' abode . —Alderman Gibbs having inquired about the unfortunate man , learned that Re had been during the railway mania one of the adventurers in ruinous speculations , and that his losses had in all probability touched his mind . Upon being told that the circumstances under which ho was found were very suspicious , he stared , and said he was informed by some people in tho street , that somebody was waiting for him inside , so in he walked . — A waiter at a coffee-house in the neighbourhooc said the defendant had walked in there severa
times , as if ho was an old customer , and ordered dinner without having a farthing in his pockets . — Alderman Gibbs said he feared the poor fellow was the victim of railway disappointments , and delivera him to his friends , who promised to keep him out of suoh dishonourable difficulties . Chahge of Stabbing—A Dutch Jew named Myer Levi was brought before Alderman Gibbs upon the charge of having stabbed Patrick Martin in the head with a chisel . —An old Irish dealer in Petticoat-lane goods had , it appeared , got tipsy on Sunday , and by way of a cure he went into a barber ' s shop to be shared , having left his boots at the door , under the impression , as was supposed , that he was in his own bedroom . The complainant determined
that his countryman should not lose his boots , took them to him , and as it was useless to endeavour to prevail upon him to put them on , tied them together and fastened them to his arm . This proceeding interfered with the desire some of the Jews had to have a lark with the Irish dealer , and they showed their disappointment by roughly handling tho person who spoiled their fun . The prisoner , who had lately landed from the continent , was not , however , satisfied with simply giving the complainant a shove , bat thought it would add to the frolic to draw a little blood , and accordingly made an effort to bore a hole with a chisel in his head . The success of the attempt was immediate , and probably greater than was expected , for after having penetrated the skull
the instrument took an oblique direction and peeled the skin off part of the nose , so that the victim looked as if a Smithfield drover had mistakon him for a strong bullock from the market . —There was nobody to say a word for tho complainant , but himself and his dreadful appearance , and the policeman , while the prisoner had a host of witnesses , the first of whom wae a little boy aged seven years . — Alderman Gibbs at once selected the child , and desired him to tell him what the whole' business was . A more effectual mode of getting at the facts could not have been devised . —The boy told the story exactly as it had been lectured into him , so that the complainant , not only to his own surprise , assumed the character of a most desperate aggressor , but the prisoner became an injured man incapable of retaliation . —The evidence of tho boy was supported , by several men and women , from whom the alderman drew repeated assurances that the
unfortunate Complainant who cut such a rueful figure did not receive the slightest touch himself , except what was caused by his own fury , and that the patches and disfigurement about the head had been caused by a fall down stairs from gin a fortnight before . —Alderman Gibbs ( to the policeman ) : When you wore called upon by the complainant in what condition were these wounds ? Policeman : They were bleeding , and had no doubt been just received as he stated . —A well-dressed female , who said she was the prisoner ' s aunt , addressed the alderman . She declared that the young man was as gentle as a lamb , and that her word was better than all that had been said against him . —Alderman Gibbs : Where you present ? No . —Alderman Gibbs : Then I can tell you that the lamb was much more like a wolf on this occasion , and I fine him 30 s . or fourteen days in Bridewell with hard labour . The decision gave great satisfaction to all who did not belong to the party of the lamb .
Picking Pockets . —William Lefevre , who appeared to be about ten years . of age was brought up , charged with , haying attempted to pick pockets . The impudence of tSe prisoner was remarkable . The boy , who is of diminutive size , had bf en ob-Berved by a labouring man , together with two other boys , endeavouring to pick pockets , and appeared to be the most active of the little gang . Tae witness followed them for some time , and at last saw the prisoner dexterously slip his hand into a woman ' 8 pocket , but as he pulled it out empty the man merely gave him a slap on the side of the head , and told him to be off . "Off , " said the boy , squaring up to him , " do you cut away with you , or I'll knock in the whole front of your head—blest if I don't . " The witness was not
much astonished at the language , for he had seen the prisoner and hiB companions before ; but having thought proper to pursue them further , and prevent them from going into a halfpenny steamer , the young fellow said , " Woll , I soe there ' s no use in talking , and I certainly will pitch into your breadbasket , old fellow , " —( laughter)—and he threw himself into position , and said he was all right in pluck . As it was easy to guess what friends a young rascal ' of tho kind would get amongst the mob , if allowed to go on at that rate , the witness gave him into custody . —Alderman Gibbs : What have you to say , prisoner ? Prisoner : I was only playing about with other boys when the man who isn't a policeman came up and threatened us . I told him I was able to fight him , and he wouldn't have me . That ' s all . Remanded .
GUILDHALL . —The Charge of Fraud " aoainst a Policeman . —Thomas Wilkins , a constable in the D division of Metropolitan police } was brought up in the custody of Inspector Collin Grant for final examination , on the charge of defrauding the Treasurer of Middlesex of 3 s . 6 d . ; also with defrauding Elizabeth Collins of a like amount . —Alderman Sidney said that there ¦ could . be no doubt remaining but that prisoner had misappropriated the sum of 3 s . 6 d ., and by so doing was guilty ,
under the Police Act , of a breach of his duty as a police-constable , and consequently liable to be fined accordingly . It was a very painful duty , for him to have to adjudicate in such a case , particularly as his decision would certainly have the effect of blasting all his future prospects in life . However , the case was of such a nature as to require a strict investigation , which had been made , and the result proved that prisoner was at fault . He would therefore fine him £ 6 , or one month ' s imprisonment in the House of Correction .
BOW-STREET . —A Drunken Count . —Count de Witt , " late secretary to the Duke of Brunswick , was placed at the bar before Mr . Jardine , charged under the following circumstances . The prisoner , upon being placed at the bar , violently demanded that , as he was not Englishman enough to defend himself in a court of justice , the case should be postponed until such time as his legal adviser should be present . —Inspector Wilkinson remarked that the case required no postponement , as it was merely a charge of drunkenness and creating a disturbance . — The Prisoner : Cannot my word be taken in preference to an inspector ' s ? Mr . Jardine : I cannot see why it should . —Inspector Wilkinson then stated that , on Monday evening / . the'pTisoner came to the
station-house door intoxicated , and created a great disturbance . He went out to him no less than four timeB , and begged of him to go away . At last he went a few paces from the door , and witness thinking he had gone home returned to his room . In a very few minutes the prisoner returned , and , bouncing through the passage , again presented himself before witness , and created a still greater disturbance than before . He was ultimately placed in a cell , at the door of which he knocked and kicked so violently , that it was feared he would break it . His conduct was violent in the extreme . — The prisoner complained about an inspector daring to lock him ap , and in a cell in which felons were placed . —He was fined 10 s ., which was immediately aid .
MARLBOROUGH-STREET . —Conviction of an Impostor . —A miserable-lookine Italian , who professed to be deaf and dumb , and who has for many years been preying upon the benevolent portion of ihe public , was charged with begging in the publio streets . —Colley , one of the Mendicity constables , stated that about half-past eight on Monday night he waB proceeding along Oxford-street , when his attention was called to the prisoner , whom he had known for the last nine years as a notorious impostor , pretending to be deaf . and dumb , and grinding ferociously at a kind of hurdy-gurdy , tho tones of which were anything but musical . Witness , having seen the prisoner receive several pence , took him into custody . The constable added that two years
ago he took the prisoner before Mr . Coombe , at Olerkenwell Police Court , for a similar offence , when he promised in right good Italian to return to his native country . He did so , and purchased a farm for £ 100 , which sum he had made in this country by begging . The prisoner remained upon his farm till about nine months ago , when he returned to this country , and immediatel y resorted to his old way of raising the wind . Witness had heard from good authority that while the prisoner was pursuing his calling here a relative was looking after the farm in Italy . —Mr . Hardwick said it was shameful that such persons should be admitted into the country , and he should send him to prison for a mouth as a warning to others of his class .

Tns Betting-office Nuisance . —Wm . Wu' ; , am was charged with having paraded a lar ^ double placard before the house of Mr . John Osborn , cigar dealer , No . 9 , New Bond-stveefc . T ' ne placard wa 9 exhibited in court . It had upoc it in largo letters , " Caution to the Public—Captain Bell , of No . 9 , New Bond'strcet , has not paid on tho Liverpool Cup . "—Mr . Osborn said Capt . Bell kept a bettinglist at his shop , which list was managed by Capt . Bell himself and a clerk . On Monday night a crowd of nearly one hundred persons assembled before his shop , threatening to destroy everything in it . They were collected by the conduct of about ten or a dozen persons who first made their appearance . The police wore sent for , and the disorderly The BExrachomoB NuiSANou .-Wm . Wili lftm 8
persons disappeared . At night large placards were posted on the shutter of the shop similar to the one carried by tho defendant . The defendant came with the placards now in his possession , and by walking backwards and forwards in front of the shop caused a crowd to assemble . Complainant sent lor a constable and gave him into custody . The complainant here entered into a statement of the Liverpool Cup betting of Capt . Bell , asserting that all the bets had been paid except one of twenty to one , laid twice , to Mr . Dawson , of the Yorkshire Grey , who , however , had received £ 22 on account , and would have received tho whole of his bet , had he not been the means of preventing Capt . Bell from receiving a bet of £ 28 which he had won from a
per-, son named Haspall , in Old Broad-street . lie wished to know whether the defendant was at liberty to walk about with the placards now in court . —Mr . Hardwiok said it was quite clear the defendant coultl rioffc' Be . permitted to walk about tho street ? with large '' placards like those he carried , for even supposingthe words on them had no significance , the placards would of themselves cause a nuisance and an obstruction . But when the language on the placards was of a description to create a mob , and to lead to a broach of tho peace , it was impossible to permit such proceedings in the public street . With respect to betting offices , he considered they were a great public nuisance . After a suitable reprimand and caution the defendant was discharged .
EXTRADITION OP FOREIGNERS FROM FRANCE . — Alexander Minginoria , a Pole , in the uniform of a French soldier , was brought to this court , charged with having begged at various shops in the Haymarket . After a short conversation in French with the defendant , Mr , Ilardwick directed an officer to make a communication to the Secretary of the Polish Refugee Society . —The Secretary came to the court , and had a conversation with the defendant . The secretary then ( addressing Mr . Hardwick ) said that the defendant was a stranger to him and the Polish Society . From the defendant he had gleaned some particulars of his history , and an explanation of the causes that had brought him to England . Tim rlofnndnnf hnfl fnucrhf . atrainst Russia in 1834 .
and for this he bad been exiled . He went to France , entered the service , and was sent to Algeria . In that colony he had spent the best years of his life , and when he returned to France the revolution occurred , and a republic had been established . The French government had come to the resolution to expel foreigners from the country . Accordingly he was peremptorily required to quit the country of his adoption , and for which he had fought so many years . A free pass and a free passage were provided for him , and he was landed on the shores of England without a sixpence . The secretary said he could corroborate one portion of the defendant ' s story as far as the extradition of Poles from France was concerned . Within a very few months he could prove that two hundred destitute Poles had been driven from France by tho FrencH republic , and
had been landed penniless on the shores of England . It was monstrous such a system should be permitted He believed the fact had been communicated to Lord Palmerston , but . he was not aware whether any steps had been taken to check tho evil . —Mr . Ilardwick concurred in condemning a proceeding that had the effect qf driving these poor foreigners from a country on which they had some claim to a country on which , they had no claim whatever . — Tho secretary said the public grant for the relief of the distressed Poles had ceased , the English nation having naturally beoome tired of giving alms to the refugees . There was , however , £ 1 , 200 subscribed privately for the relief of the Poles , and out of this fund a passage to America would be furnished to the defendant . —Mr . Hardwick gave 5 s . for the temporary relief of the defendant .

She left him in the parlour for a few minutes , when he asked for a glass of water , after which he stated that he wanted to wash his hands . She showed him to her mistress ' s room for that purpose , where she left him . In a short time he came down , when ho called her up from the kitchen and inquired what church the family had gone to . She informed Him , upon which he said he would go and meet them , but would first take a glass of ale . If he did not meet them he would return . He then went away , leaving his carpet bag , on which was the name of Jarvis . When her master

He examined the carpet bag , in which were some hay , a brick , and a gown . —Policeman Mason , 160 S ,. produced a gold watch , which he found in the possession of the prisoner ' s sister , who lives in Augusta-square , Regent's-park . ( Mr . Dixon identified the watch . ) He had known the prisoner many years . —Policeman 180 said he apprehended the prisoner the previous evening , near his lodgings in Amwell-street .. Witness told him he was charged with stealing a watch . He replied what watch . lie was identified at Hoxton-street station house , being at the time with four other persons . Juupino | on to a Railway Train . —George Hall , a person' connected with sporting affairs , was charged before Mr . Arnold with having attempted
to jump into a railway carriage attached to a train , while it was in motion , by which he was liable to a penalty of 40 s . —It appeared from the evidence that about six o ' clock on Monday morning , just as the down train to Newmarket , by the Eastern Counties Railway was starting from Shoreditoh station , tho defendant arrived on the platform , stating that he wanted to go by the train . It had started at the time , ' when he was informed by Mr . Gardner , the inspector , that he must stop . He observed that it would be a loss to him of £ 100 if he did not go down by that train . He then gave a leap into a third olass carriage , just as the train had reached the turn-table . : The defendant was in the most imminent danger . He was balancing on the door , and by the least jerk he would have been thrown off . Mr . Gardner called upon the driver of the engine to stop the train , which was promptly done , upon which the defendant was given into custody . — The defendant was fined in tho mitigated penalty

She exhibited severe injuries , and her head was covered with adhesive plaster . —Mr . Combe : Your name is Jenny Lind?—Witness ( affecting great modesty ) : It is , your worship . — -Mr . Combe : Pray , what are you ?—Witness ( looking
down ) : I am married , your worsmp . —Mr . combe : Were you sober , Jenny ?—Yes , as sober as a judge . I was never drunk in all my life . —The fact was that Jenny was not perfectly sober when she entered the witness-box , and her general appearance was most dissipated . —Sergeant Standen , 11 G , said , when Jenny was at the station-house , he , witness , called on her husband , who said he had been at home all nignt waiting for his " beloved " Jenny , who did not return . He ( witness ) told him she had been making a charge at the station-house . Her husband said , " Ah ; I suppose she has been out getting drunk as usual . "—The prisoner , in his defence , said he had taken a " dhrap , " and on going towards his home he was accosted by theprosecutrix , and wishing to have nothing to say to her he pushed her off , and she fell against the kerbstone and cut her head . —Mr .

Having been refused her allowance , the prisoner made application to the parish of Lambeth for a maintenance , when the beadle took her home to the house of her huaband . The husband denied Jus right to be called on to support fluoh a woman , but the beadle left her in the house , and having availed herself of an opportunity of her husband being . ilnno . ahe with ereat dexterity slipped a handker-! _ Bum ^ husband roCher until latterly , and until
chief round his throat , and drew and tied it so tightly that , had assistance been delayed but a moment or two longer , no human skill could have restored him to animation . As it was , it was with the utmost difficulty that the medical man called in restored him to consciousness , ' and as a proof of the narrowness of his escap ' e he still remains in an exceedingly weak and feeble state . The prisoner had been remanded , in order to have the testimony of the medical gentleman and other witnesses taken preparatory to her committal for trial , but one or two of th ' ose witnesses being still absent the prisoner was again remanded .
Assault on the Police . —James Cannon , a chimney-sweep , a powerful built fellow , was charged with violently assaulting no less than five different policemen , while the latter were endeavouring to secure him . The prisoner is one of the most desperate ruffians that tho whole metropolis could produce ; in proof of which it need only be stated that the present is tho eighteenth time that he has been brought' to this court for outrages of tho most ruffianly description , and on the last occasion he was sent for trial , and sentenced to one year's imprisonment . He has maimed two or three policemen for life , and on the present occasion he assaulted no less than five of them in . a most ruffianly manner , his chief
aim appearing to be to kick them in a delicate part of . their person , where the slightest injury might be attended with the most serious results . The prisoner , when asked what he had to say to the charge against him , in a gruff and surly voice replied , "I ' wasdrUnk , and don ' t recollect anything about it . " He was sentenced to five months' imprisonment ; that is , one month for each assault . SOUTHWARD . — Assaulting a Lecturer . —Two younc men , named "Wainwright and' Butler , were charged with assaulting William Townsend , at a meeting held in the Temperance Hall , Fair-street , Bermondsey . —The complainant stated that while engaged in delivering a lecture on the " Social , Moral , Political , and Religious Condition of the Working Classes , " at the above hall , several persons entered , and amongst them the defendants ,
who , it was evident , had come there for no other purpose than that of exciting a disturbance . They ( the defendants ) made discordant noises , and endeavoured to drown his voice , and soon after a quantity of red ochre was thrown from the spot where the defendants stood over complainant , whoso person was literally covered with the substance , but whether it was done by them or their associates , he could not describe . At all events , the defendants were conspicuous in the transactions of the evening , and one of them ( Wainwright ) , subsequent to the termination of the lecture , and when complainant was proceeding home in a cab , flung a large paper bag of flour into the vehicle , and not only covered him with it , but also some of his friends , who . were with him at the time . —The defendants denied that
they took any part m the transactions of the evening ; but the magistrate decided otherwise , and inflicted a fine of 5 s . on Wainwright , and adjudged him to enter into his recognisances to keep the peace . The other defendant was also bound in his
own recognisances . Cowardly Assault . —J . Williams , who described himself as a wool-broker , was charged with committing a violent assault on Mr . John Northage , under the following circumstances : —The complainant , an aged man , who exhibited injuries of a severe nature about the face , stated that he had recently come to London on business connected with the preservation of life from shipwreck , and having dined with some of the patrons of his invention , he admitted haying exceeded the bounds of moderation on the occasion . When he left the tavern where they dined , and got out into the fresh air , the wine he had drunk operated still more powerfully upon him , and the result was he was taken to the station-house ' at the rear
of this court . He , however , had not been long locked up when the defendant , a tall athletic man , made an attack upon him without the slightest provocation , knocked him down , and afterwards jumped upon his breast , and injured him so severely , that he has been spitting bleod ever since . He called out for help under the supposition that his assailant wanted to murder him , and he' really believed that it was his intention to put an end "to his existence if assistance had not been rendered . —It was here explained that the defendant had been taken into custody in High-street for attacking another man in the street , whom he knocked down twice , and , as
in the former case , he had received no provocation to justify such outrageous conduct . —The defendant asserted that he was first assaulted in the cell by the complainant , and admitted having retaliated upon him oh that account . —This assertion , however , was contradicted by a man who was locked up in the same cell . —Mr . A'Beckef t , said the defendant had disgraced himself by such an unprovoked attack upon a man like the complainant , who did not possess half his strength , and who was so much his senior in point of years . The magistrate then inflicted two penalties of £ 3 each on the defendant , and in default of payment committed him for three months . ¦ . . . ¦

There were at that time in the omnibus , besides witness , some ladies and a gentleman . Witness put down one of the windows on the off side , and asked the defendant , who was standing on the pavement by the
horses , what they were staying for ? Defendant , with a grin , said he could tell him if he choosed . He repeated the question a second and third time , when the defendant said , " Well , if you will know it , the coachman has been te the urinal ; now you ' ve got it . " The ladies were all shocked . The driver then got on the box , and drove on towards town . In Piccadilly the driver commenced racing with a Chelsea omnibus up the hill as hard as he could , and the defendant put his head in at the door window , and said to witness , " Will that pace suit you ? " And on reaching Charing-cross , where witness got out , the defendant hallooed after him just the same as if he was a person who had committed some offence . —Mr . Gregory Wordsworth Turner confirmed thia evidence . —Mr . Beadon imposed a fine of twenty shillings , and two shillings costs , or fourteen days' imprisonment . The fine and costs were paid .

Attack on the Kino ' s Bench Pkison during the Riots of Lonhon . —At the gate of the prison two sentinels were placed . One of these was a finebuilt young man , full six feet high ; he had been servant to my father . On the day Allen was shot or a day or two after , he came to my father for irotection ; my father , having a high opinion of his veracity and moral goodness , took him in and sheltered him until qmet was restored . His name was M Phin , or some such name ; but as he was always called ' Mae" by us , I do not remember £ name perfectly . He stated that he and his fellowsoldier , while standing as sentries at the prison , were attacked by an uproarious mob , and were assailed with stones and brickbats : that his
companion called loudly to the mob , and said , " I will not fire until I see and mark a man that throws at us , and then he shall die ; I don't want to kill the innocent , or any one , but he that flings at us shall surely die . " Young Allen threw a briok-bat , and ran off ; but Mao said his fellow-soldier had seen it , and marked him . The crowd gave way ; off went Allen , and the soldier after him . Young Allen ran on , the soldier pursuing him , till he entered his father ' s premises , who was a cowkeeper , and there the soldier shot him . Popular fury turned upon poor Mao ; and so completely was he thought to be the " murderer" of young Allen , that £ 500 was
ottered by the mob lor ms discovery , But my good father was faithful to honest Mao , and he lay secure in one of our upper rooms until the excitement was over . Allen ' s funeral was attended by myriads [ and a monument was erected to his memory ( which vet remains , I believe ) in N ewington-churchyard , speaking lies in the face of the sun .
