ment of oar . Hierarchy , bears fruits of order , peacefulness , decency , religion , and virtue , it mar be that the Holy See shaH "" i ) ot be thought to hare acted unwisely when it bound up the very s .: ul and Ealvation of a chief pastor with those of a citv where the name indeed is glorious bat the purlieu ' s infamous ; in which the very grand jaer of its public edifices is as a shadow to screen from the public eye aiS ^ iad misery the most appalling . If the ¦ wealtKbf the Abbey be stagnant and not diffusive , if it in no way rescue the neighbouring population from the depths in which it is sunk , let there he 110 jealously of any one who , by whatever name , is ready to make the latter his care without interfering with the former .
Thanks to you , brave and generous and uoblehearted people of England , Who wouM not be Btirredupby those whose duty it is to teach you gentleness , meekness , and forebearance , to support what they call a religious canse by irreligious means ; and would not hunt down , wheu bidden , your unoffending fellow citizens , to the hollow cry of " 3 fo Popery , " and on the pretence of a fabled Than h s io you , docile and obedient children of the Catholic faith ; many of you I know by nature fervid , bat by religion inildened , who nave felt indeed—who could help it?—theiudignities that burn been cast upon your religion , your pastors , and your highest chief , but have borne tliem in t ' je spirit of the great head of your church in silence and unretoriiug forbearance . Bat whatever has been said in ignorance or in malice against us , or against what is most dear to us , commend with me to the forgiveness of a merciful God , to the
retributions of his kindness , not to the award of his ju 3 tice .

ALLEGED POLICE OUTRAGE IN CLERKENWELL . A public meeting of the inhabitants of Clerkenwell was held on Tuesday night at the Crown Taven , Cierkenwell-green , for the purpose of adopting measures to liqudate the expenses that Mr . John Brooks and Mr . William Purchase , two inhabitants of Cierkenwell , had lately been put to , in being tried be / ore the Cental Criminal Court on a charge of assaulting snd obstructing the police in the execution of ths . 'r duty , but who were acquitted after onu minute ' s deliberation by the" jury . It was also proposed to Tote some testimony to the conduct of the jury on that occasion . Mr . Wakley , M . P . for tbe borough , was voted to the chair amidst ibe acclamations of the meeting .
Tlie Chaiksian began by saying that ho was glad to find himself among his constituents , and he could assure them that whenever he was invited on an occasion like the presrat he would be sure to attend i ! his health psrmitted . The particulars of the case which they had met to consider wou'd he detailed to them by oilier gentlemen , but he wa 3 told tha : an aggression had been made by the police on tbe rights of the citizens , and he thought such an aggression - ought to be met and put down at once . ( Hear , bear . ) In former times the inhabitants of this country kej » t watch and ward themselves , and every householder was a police constable ; but now a system of centralisation bad been adopted which had entirely altered
the old system , and lodged the power of police in the hands of tbe Crown . He said this with regret , for he liked the Crown . He bad said before , and he would repeat it then , tbat he believed there was more real liberty under ' - be Monarchy of this nation than in any other country in the world . ( Loud applause . ) But that oagfct to make tbe people more jealous of the exercise of this power , which of late year * has been lodged in the bands of the Crown , and which had actually added 5 , 000 men ti tbe standing army , differing only horn other soldiers in this respect , that they wore blue coats instead of nd ones . ( Laughter and applause . ) Now , with re-Bpecl to the case before them , be wanted to lci . os how these men catnetobe tried at all ? If thev
were sent for trial by a magistrate , he thought the resolutions ought to touch him . ( Great applause . ) And wi ' . h regard to tbe policeman , he urged upon them that whenever an abuse of authority was shown by 'fora , tbe citizens ought never to rest satisfied until they represented his misconduct to the proper quarter , and had him removed from his position . He reminded them tbat ministers and secreiarus oi state could know nothing of the outrages cororaiued by these men , unless the inhabitants made their complaints , and he believfd if they would express their opinions earnestly and firmly , their grievances would be reraedied . ( Applause . )
Mr . Cameron * , in moving the first resolution , stated the faeJs of : he case as thay appeared at tbe examination before Mr . Comhe , the magistrate , and aftersrards at the trial . It appeared that one nigbt . about eleven o clock , two policemen , Cooper and Fisher , dresEed in plain clothes , were leading two juvenile thieves up Warner-street , when Purchase , one of the acquitted prisoners , accidentally brushed up against Cooper , who immediately turned round , charged Purchase with attempting to rescue the prisoners , and knocked him down twice . Purchase however , succeeded in gettn ? away from the policeman , and took refuge in Brooks' h <> use , rushed down to the kitchen where Brooks , his wife , and
two nieces were sitting , and passing by them went into his own bed-room . The policeman Cooper followed him into Brooks' kitchen , and collared Brooks , struck him , and aimed blows at his wife and nieces . Such were tbe facts placed be f ore Mr . Combe , tbe magistrate , by respectable and disinterested witnesses , and he could only account for Mr . Combe ' s not acquitting the prisoners on the ground that he did not pay attention to the case before him . They all knew tbat Mr . Combe had a knack of amusing himself , while evidence was goinz on before him , in reading the newspapers . ( Great applause and laughter . ) It was afterwards propossd to Mr . Brooks that if he could persuade
Purchase ( who was his brother-in-law ) to plead guilty he would be dismissed on his own recognizances , while no evidence whatever would be received against Brooks . But the old veteran spurned the offer , and determined that he and his brotherin-law should be tried together . ( Great applause . ) After criticising the conduct of the counsel and the judge at the trial , which he characterised as a mockery of justice , though their defects were nobly redeemed by the verdict of the jury , he concluded by moving a vote of censure on the policemen Cooper and Fisher , whose evidence had been found
on the trial to be false ; and that a memorial should be sent to tbe Commissioners of Police praying that they mig ht be dismissed from her Majesty ' s service , which was seconded by Mr . Fisher . Policeman Fisher found a defender in Mr . J . M , Cameron ; and Mr . Wakeling justified the conduct of the magistrate in seeding a case , which he conld not himself determine , before a British jury ; and that tbe jury themselves only dismissed the prisoners because there was such a discrepancy in the evidence tbat they could not believe either one side or tbe other . This gave rise to great damour , and Mr . Wa&eling , after some farther
remark 8 f sat dpwn . . The resolution was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously . A vote of thanfea to the jury was then moved by Mr . Maion , and seconded by Mr . Freethy , auctioneer , who stated tbat on thenig ht of the attack on Brooks and Parcbase , about a qnarter of an hour before the atttektook place , both the policemen were in his house ( the Bull ' s Head , Hatton-garden ) and be would take his oath they were both drunk . ( Loud cries of " hear , hear . " ) The vote was passed by acclamation . . A committee was then appointed to raise snb . icriptiouY for the purpose of paying the legal expense * Messrs . Brooks aud Purchase had been put to , as well as to have a benefit to be got up for their behalf at some public place of amusement . Thanks were then voted to the Chairman , and the aieetine separated .

The following appeared in cur second and third editions of last week : —
THE JOHN-STREET CONFERENCE . TO THS EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . 10 , Holies-place , Camden Town . gin jfy attention has been just called to the foliowinz paragraph in the Northern Star , of November 9 th : — Messrs . Bates and Pettie denounced in language of the strongest description tlie conduct of Mr . O'Conner . Messrs . Wheeler and Ilarney appealed to the Chairman against ihe use of such language as that of Mr . l ' ettie , but the Chairman seemed to think that Sir . O'Connor ' s character being public property might bo publicly maligned . The rest of the debate consisted , with a few exceptions , of attacks upon Air . O'Connor . Jlr . E . Jones and Air . Kcjnolds , also came iu for a moderate share of this hitherto iient-un wrath .
With respcet to the accusation brought against the chairman , I have simply to say , that ifc is a misstatement on the part of your reperlcr , who h : is forgotten , that while the chairman sustained Mr . Pettie in his right to criticise Mr . O'Connor's public conduct , he also expressed his opinion that the language employed was unmeasured and vindictive . With your reporter I have nothing to do ; he must answer for himself in the Conference , when we meet again . I have only to request that you will insert tiiir ! letter , as a matter of justice , both to the chairman and yourself . 1 may add , that the paragraph beginning " The rasfc of the dei > ate , " is as much misstated as the previous sentences ; and that the -whole gives about as erroneous an impression of the meeting of Sunday week , last , as could have been contrived . I am , Sir , Tours Obediently , George Hoofer , Chairman of the Conference .

m * . . . Explosions in Mines . —At the meeting of the Institution of Civil Engineers , on Tuesday , W . Cubitt , Esq ., President , in the chair , a paper was read , entitled , "A comparative view of the recorded explosions in coal mines , " by Mr . West . The reports of Faraday , Lyell , De la Beche , Playfair , and others , were carefully analysed and tabulatCil , from which it appeared , that tendencies towards a dangerous condition existed in mines reputed to be comparatively safe , and that these tendencies were so numerous , and varied so suddenly in their nature and extent , as to necessitate attention to every kind of precaution . The proposed appointment , by the government , of inspectors of mines , was noticed , not with the intention
of showing that their supervision would diminish the responsibility of toe miningengineeraand overmen , but of demonstrating , that by establishing more constant communication between the various districts , they might induce the general adoption of those measures of precaution which were found in certain mines to be so efficacious in averting accidents , or in affording means of safety when they did occur . The different depths of mines , varying from seventyfive yards nt Darley , to 300 yards at Haswell , did not appear to have any iufluence on the accidents . The tendency to the emission of carburettcd hydrogen gas from certain seams would have appeared a more rational reason , though the records did not appear to bear out that theory , as mines receiving
a tolerable character , had been the scenes of repeated explosions ; for instance , the Jarrow Mine , where , although reported " to be not very fiery , " there had been six explosions in twenty-eight years , and HO persons had been killed . The compatibility of general good veniilaf ion , with the occasional occurrence of the most fatal explosions , was particularly dwelt on . The witnesses on the inquests after the Haswell and the Jarrow accidents agreed that the '' ventilation was perfect , " " the pit full of air , " and " tbe air quite good , and plenty of it . " The fault , then , did not lie in the quantity of air , but rather in the difficulty of directing it so generally throughout all is
parts of the mine , as to sweep away the gas ; it was produced . The " splits" for the air wcreuoticed , and the condition of the goaf , the pockets of gas formed in the roof , and the sudden irruptions from the occasional falls in the go if and old stalls , were dwelt on at great length , and , CO nbinod with theinjudicious use of unprotected lights , and the liability of accident to tha lumps , were shown to have been the probable cause of . ill the explosions . The miners' lamps were passed over somewhat too cursorily , as at the present moment , when so much Las been done for their improvem < « t , that part of the subject might have been descanted 011 with advantage . Tlie precautions fcr saving life on the occurrence of accidents , such as abolishing bratticcd
shafts , and shiking a pair at each mine at such distances apart as should insure one rcma ning intact , in case of an explosion injuring the other ; the " scaling off " of a portion of the fresh air for tbe exhausting"furnace , ai : < i conducting she return air into the upcast shaft at some height above tbe fire ; together with several minor detail ; for insuring the constant working of the exhausting apparatus , to draw off the fatal " after-damp , or choke-damp , " weve strongly insisted , The rashness and carelessness of the miners was instanced with regret ; but it was shown that by education and good example their better qualitiesmight be brought out , and that then the best safeguard against accident would be the instinctive love of life , and a knowledge of
impending danger from the infringement of any of the precautionary regulations established in the mines . The improvement of the workmen was , therefore , strongly insisted on , as more real benefit would probably result from such measures , than from the appointment of a host of government inspectors . The Charge against a Clergyman at Brbxtwood . —The Rev . R . A . Johnstone surrendered on Thursday to answer the charge of feloniously assaulting * Mary Ann Doe . The principal witnesses were not present at the opening of the case , but an electric telegraph message informed the court that they were arrested in London , and would be at Brentwood in half-an-hour . On the arrest of Mary
Ann "Doe , her mother said to her , " Now mind , my child , you tell the gentlemen that it was all wrong what you told them before ; and if they ask you how you came to tell such a tale , say you wasn ' t in your right mind , and you didn ' t know what you saul . " -The givl who had evidently been well tutored , on being sworn and examined by the magistrates , denied the truth of her former charge , alleging that she was so frightened sho did not know what Bhe was saying . The defendant was dismissed . After the proceedings had terminated the bench gave instructions to Mr Lewis to prefer a bill of indictment for perjury against Mary Ann Doe .
SuicinE on the South-Western Railway . —Mr . W . Carter , the coroner for East Surrey held an inquest at Mr . Smith ' s , the Two Brothers Tavern , New-road , Battersea-fields , upon the body of Mr . Robert Henry Hancock , brother-in-law to Mr . Gooch , late chief engineer of the South-Western Railway . The deceased , who was in his thirtyseventh year , and who had recently held the appointment of superintendent of the locomotive department at Windsor , was found lulled on the South-WeBternline on Sunday night . Several witnesses stated their opinion to be that the deceased had destroyed himself , and it was shown that the pressure of indigence , and a great reverse of fortune , bad unsettled his intellect . A verdict in accordance with this evidence was returned .
SUICIDB OF MR . PflNNlNQTON , JiATE OP THI Tkeasurv . —Mr . Pennington , who for fifteen years past has filled highly important offices in her Maje ? tv ' s Treasury , shot himself on Thursday afternoon in Hyde Park ; the ball had passed out at tbe back of the head , and the brains were exuding . The body awaits a coroner ' s inquest . Fire at Beruondsey . —On Friday night , at a few minutes past eleven o'clock , a fire , attended with a very considerable destruction of property , broke out in a range of premises situate in Crumscott-8 treet , Grange-road , Bermondsey , and tenanted by several parties , vrho carried on in respective compartments the various trades of hide splitters , l # ttherjapannera , curriers , and paper stainers . The buildings , which adjoined each other , were of great width , and to the lowest computation must-have
stretched in the other direotion some 120 or 130 feet . This property was adjoined by sundry other buildings , and numerous stacks of bark belonging to Mr . Pugh , currier and leather dresser . At one period the total destruction of property , covering several acres of ground , appeared inevitable ; but owing to the indefatigable exertions of the firemen , who were aided by an abundant supply of water , the fire , by one o ' clock this morning ( Saturday ) , was got under . The damage dono by the disaster must be very serious . : The Late Plate Robbehtbb . — -Martin Maguire , the man implicated along with Sirrelland Macauley in the lata extensive plate robberies , and who had been remanded from the previous week on the charge of having possession of a gold watch stolen from Halifax , iraa brought before Mr . Rushton , at Liverpool , on Friday , when tbat magistrate ordered the prisoner to be sent to Halifax .
Mr . George Thompson had arrived at New York , and bad been bitterly attacked by the pro-slavery journals .

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT . ' Claim for Sawiit . —Stallwood v . O'Connor . Wedsbsdat , Nov . 13 th . —The plaintiff stated that he had be en engaged eight years reporter to the Northern Star , at a salary of £ 52 per annum . On the 6 th of July last he received notice that his services would not be required after the Gth of Oct . On applying for his three last weeks' wages he was refused payment , and therefore this action was brought for the recovery thereof . —The Judge stated that a set-off had been entered , by the defendant , against the claim , of which he supposed the plaintiff had received notice . —Mr . Stallwood said he had , but denied being responsible for debts due by a societyof which he was only the secre-~* Trr- ' *—~—™ * ' —*— ' ^ " ^™—*
, tary . Ho had resigned that office , and , therefore , had nothing to do with the debts of the society . He saw , in the set-off , items for advertisements inserted under the head " Agency . " Now , he ( the plaintiff ) , thought , if that meant any thing it showed that Mr . O'Connor was in his debt ; as he was , in a certain sense , the agent of Mr . O' Connor's . However , he would handover , to his Honour certain documents to prove that he had discontinued to be the servant of the Benefit Society , on whose account the advertisements were inserted . —Mr . Rider , who appeared for Mr . O'Connor , said that the statement made by plaintiff was correct , so far as regarded the non-payment of his three last weekB' wages . The payment had been discontinued
on account of a deht , contracted by plaintiff for advertisements connected with a certain Benefit Society . The debt amounted to the sum of £ 7 6 s . 6 d . That portion of tho debt , for the insertion of ad vertisements , under tho head "Agency , " wore relating to the plaintiff ' s private affairs ; he having commenced a provision store at Minster Lovel , Oxfordshire , which he caused to be advertised as an " agency . " The advertisements relative to the Benefit Society appeared in the Northern Star prior to any intimation being given by plaintiff of his intention to relinquish his office . The first insertion a ppeared February 27 th , 18 * 7 , the last , January 12 th , 1850 . —Plaintiff , in reply , denied his liability , inasmuch as he was only acting in capacity of
servant to the above-named society ; and further stated , that no demand had ever been made on him for the amount , on the contrary , that the bill . had been given by direction of Mr . Rider to another party , ne called as a witness Mr . John Arnott , who stated that he had been summoned to give evidence , that by direction of Mr . Rider he ( witness ) , as advertising agent of the Northern Star , had given the bill of the debt due for advertisements to Mr . Grassby , who succeeded plaintiffas secretary to tho National Benefit Society . Ho knew no more of tho affair . —Mr . Rider said that he had not made any demnnd on Mr . Grassby ; but had merely submitted the account to him , as Mr . Stallwood ' s successor , in order to ascertain the position of affairs ,
Mr . Stallwood having issued a circular to the members , stating that a surplus of monies were in the Bank , and that there were no " hidden" demands on the Society . He did not consider it his business to apply to tlie present officers for the debt . Mr . O'Connor having distinctly . said that as the advertisements were in the hand-writing of Mr . Stallwood , bore his signature , and were brought to the office by him , he , of course , should demand payment of him . He would submit to his Honour ' s consideration a printed document , issued by the plaintiff , congratulating the members ef the Society on its position—having money in hand , and no debt due , which evidently exonerated the Society , and showed that Mr . Stallwood considered the debt specified , by the set-off , as his own . —Various documents were tendered , when the judge observed
that ifc was quite clear that the advertisements were ( with one or two exceptions ) inserted in the paper prior to any notice being given by plaintifi of his intention to withdraw from office , and previous to any of the documents tendered ) being issued to the members . Ho would , however , further inspect those documents , and give judgment on Tuesday next . Judgment was consequently given on Tuesday last . His Honour said he had gone through the documents , and his opinion was that the set-off was fully established . The defendant was justified in chiming of the plaintiff the amount due for advertisements . —Plaintiff : Am I to understand that vour Honour decides the ease in favour of Mr . O'Connor?—Judge : Of course . —Plaintiff Allow me to ask if your Honour has examined those documents of mine?—Judge : I have already told you , and given my decision .

Presentation' op ttie Dahomian Princess to the Q . UREN . —It was stated in the papers , a short time since , that Capt . Forbes , of her Majesty ' s ship Bonnetta , had brought witli him to this country a young African princess , presented to him by the King of Dahomey , and that her Majesty having been informed of the circumstance , had graciously signified her intention of taking charge of the child . Her Majesty having appointed Saturday last for the presentation of the princess , Capt . Forties , accompanied by his in teresting charge , attended at Windsor Castle for that purpose , when the young princess , who is not more than eight years of age , was presented to the Queen and the Prince Consort , in the presence of the Prince of Walesthe Princess Royal , other members of the
, royal family , and several of the royal household . Capt . Forbeshad been engaged in negofiatingatreaJy with the King of Dahomsy , having for its object the termination of the export of slaves from that kingdom , when this interesting child , considered to be of high rank , was captured by the king from a neighbouring ruler , with whom ha had been at War , and she had been detained as a close prisoner , not having been disposed of ( as is the custom of his Dahoman Majesty with captives of inferior rank ) to the Portuguese and Brazilian slave dealers . She had been closely confined for nearly two years , when she was presented ( as a mark of the highest respect and as an
especial favour ) to Capt . Forbes , by the King . After the formal presentation of the little . princess to her Majesty at Windsor , she returned with Capt . Forbes to Winkfield-place , where she will remain until the necessary arrangements be made for her future education , under the auspices of her Majesty . Since her arrival in this country she has made considerable progress in the study of the English language , and manifests great musical talent and intelligence of no common order . Her hair is abort , black , and curling , strongly indicative of her African birth ; while her features are pleasing and handsome , and her manners and conduct most mild and affectionate to all about her .
Emigration Movements . —The ship Sir Robert Sale , Loader , which sailed from the Thames , under charter with the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners , arrived at Port Phillip , with 287 passengers , in the short space of eighty-two days , being one of the shortest passages on record , f ho girls sent to Port Phillip from the Irish workhouses do not appear . to have turned out well . One of the local papers says : — " There are still some of the ' Irish orphans ' ( sent out by the-Land and Emigration Commissioners ) remaining unengaged in the Emigration Barracks , and it is proposed to ship twelve of them aff to Portland by the Enterprise this day . " The success of tho party sent out by the Thomas Arbuthnot , shows that this can onl y have been owing to injudicious selection of the emigrants ; or of the surgeon , superintendent , or matronsentrusted with the charge of them .
, Mrs . PABTIMQTON . -The " original Mrs . Partington " was a respectable old lady living at Sidmouth in Devonshire ; her cottage was on the beach , and during an awful storm ( that , I think , of Nov ., 1824 , when some fifty or sixty ships were wrecked nt Plymouth , ) the sea rose to suclr a height as every now and then to invade the old lady ' s place of domicile ; in fact , almost every wave dashed in at the door Mrs . Portington , with such help as she could command , with mopa arid brooms , as fast as the water entered the houge , mopped it out again ;
until at length the waves had the mastery , and the dame was compelled to retire to an upper ijtory of the house . I well recollect reading in the Devonshire newspapers at the tune an account similar to the above ; but the first allusion to the circumstance was , I think , made by Lord Brougham in his celebrated speech in the House of Commons on the Reform BUI , in which he compared the Conservative opposition to be like tho opposition of " Dame Partington and her mop , who endeavoured to mop out the waves of the Atlantic—Notts and Queries .

MANSION-HOUSE . —Obtawwo Goods Fraudu TKNTLT -Robert Murray Campbell and William Sfret who were charged with having defrauded Sesmen of goods , were brought up for further examinution . -Mr . Bussell attended for Pomfret .-Sderman Gibbs asked whether Mr Penning on , to ¦ Shorn it appeared the prisoners had referred tradesmen for the supply of character , was present . Mr . Pennington stood forward immediately . and saui , I have no acquaintance whatever with the fellows at the bar . I don't at all acknowledge them -Mr . Richard C . Buckingham , of 21 , Crutched-frmrs , cork cutter and manufacturer said he received a letter from the firm of Campbell and Co ., of No . 8 , [ liter street ' on the 25 th of October , requesting
B to know the terms upon which ho did business . He answered the letter , and received another from Mr . S et on the subject of his capability of fating an extensive export order . Ho answered that letter also and he called at their office the day after in order'to explain any misunderstanding which might have arisen in consequence of the fact that thoro were two houses in Crutched-friars of tbe name , and he told them that he could not in honour interfere if the order were intended for the other concern Mr Pomfret , whom he saw upon the occasion ' seemed duly to appreciate the feeling , and the order was the consequence of the interview . ( A lau « h ) The two prisoner ' s called at the witness s Muntintf-house , subsequently looked at samples .
and consulted together . Some observations passea between them as to the price , as the invoice was subject to twelve and a half discount . They agreed ultimately that the invoice should be ( made out at the price he charged , 5 s ., and they referred the witness to Mr . Pennington as evidence of their respectability . The inquiries after Mr . Pennington himself , however , were not satisfactory , for nobody knew anything at all about him , and of course the order was declined . —The witness said upon his cross-examination that his impression was that Pomfret was clerk to Campbell . —Alderman Gibbs then directed that Mr . Pennington should be put to the bar along with Campbell and Pomfret . —The new prisoner said his name was John Pennington ,
and he stood as far apart from the other prisoners as he could , and declared that he was undergoing most cruel indignity merely .- because some persons had got hold of and made a base use of his cards . — Edward Dowling ( 4 C B division of the Metropolitan Police ) said : At the latter end . of March or the beginning of April I received such information as induced " me to watch his house in Pimlico , and I watched him from place to place . I saw him and Campbell speaking together at a public-house in the Strand . I have no doubt that they were the persons . —Pennington : This is really a dreadful thing . I am here charged with being acquainted with a man I never saw before . —Mr . T . E . Death , of St . Marfcin ' s-le-Grand , engraver and printer , said
that his recollection of " Campbell and Co . " having been refreshed by what he had seen in the newspapers , he called at the Justice-room to give the firm a lift . What he lost was a trifle , but the ease illustrated ckarjietep . Mr . Campbell gave an order on the 24 th July for cards to the amount of 12 s . Cd ., which was sent to his then address , at No . 34 , Coleman-street . The boy who took the cards home had received directions not to leave them without receiving the money , but he returned empty . Soon afterwards Mr . Campbell called in the witness ' s absence , and gave another order , which the boy received the strictest injunctions not to part with for a moment without the amount , which altogether extended to £ 1 9 s ., but the boy
returned as before , not having ha'l the power to resist the arguments of Messrs . Campbell and Co . — Alderman Gibbs : Did you apply to him yourself afterwards ? Witness : Yes ; I went immediately afterwards , and I saw Mr . Campbell and demanded the cards . He said the cards were not there , and that he all along expected credit . I told him that I never gave credit to strangers , and that I should certainly discharge the boy who had neglected the strict orders he had received . " Oh then" said he , " If you turn away the boy I'll take him into my employment . " ( Laughter . )—Alderman Gibbs : Did you see anybody else at Mr . Campbell ' s house ? Witness : I did . I saw his clerk , a stout fellow , who said to me , pointing to Campbell , '' That ' s an
ass . I'll settle the matter with you . " ( Great laughter . ) So the stout fellow took my address , said he'd call and settle it ; but he never came , and I gave it up as a bad job . —Mr . Buckingham , brother to the former witness of that name , and also residing in Crutched-friars , said that Campbell called at his house , looked at some samples of corks , gave the reference of " Pennington and Co ., " and left word that , if tho reference was approved , the goods required would be to the amount of £ 42 10 s . The inquiries about Mr . Pennington not being satisfactory the matter dropped . The witness said that , upon inquiring for Mr . Pennington , he was introduced to a very old man , who said the house of " Campbell and Co . " was a highly
respectable house , and , if they wanted any assistance , he would most willingly give it himself . ( Laughter , ) —Pennington : Tou see these people havo got hold of somo of my cards , and regularly placed a person to represent me for bad purposes . Upon crossexamination , the witness said he saw both Campbell and Pomfret when the applications were made , and considered that they both represented the firm of Campbell and Co . — Joseph Young , bootmaker , of Greystoke-place , Fetter-lane , said : Air . Campbell came to me , and ordered a pair of boots on the 15 th of August . I took them to his counting-house , but nobody was there , so I brought them home . Ho called next day , tried on the boots , said he had unfortunately
left his money with his clerk , put down a dollar , said he would call next day and pay tho rest , and off he went . ( Laughter . ) I called and called , and at last he threatened to charge me with the police . — Mr . W . II . Dickson , engraver , stated tbat the firm of Campbell and Co . did him out of a door-plate and a set of cards , to the amount of £ 1 5 s . Campbell and Pomfret were together when the order was given , and the suggestion of the latter , that the cards should be plain , and not embossed , was adopted . —Pennington said it was quite monstrous to detain him upon matters of which he knew nothing . He was well known in the City , and
par-; icularly to Mr . Forrester . —Alderman Gibbs : I have been askinghim whether he knows you , and he says he does not . —Pennington : There is no charge against me . Why should I be detained ?—Alderman Gibbs : In a former caso it was proved that you said you were not Mr . Pennington at one time , and you were introduced next day as Mr .

Laurie asked Mr .

'iscoi'tained that no such infoi'iiiation as that of the Cardinal having received , notice to quit London in forty-eight hours had as yet come before the City authorities , in any form , official or otherwise . He had made inquiries , and the result satisfied him that Mr . Alderman Challis had been misled in consequence of reading an incorrect statement that appeared in one of the newspapers to that effect .

Arnold upon an adjourned summons , to answer a charge of having assaulted arid otherwise illtreated a young country girl , named Emily Stevenson , otherwise Watts , who had been introduced , as she alleged , to the defendant by a gentleman who had decoyed her from her home at Nottingham , and subsequently deserted her . —Evidence was addueed which contradicted the girl ' s statement as to the bruises on her person , and as to her being sober on the evening of her light from Bryderea-sfcreefc . — Mr . Arnold said that after an attentive consideration of the whole of the evidence , he should not feel
justified in pronouncing a conviction against the defendant upon the unsupported ¦ testimony of a person who had given such contradictory accounts of her former life and character , and several material parts of whose evidence had been wholly controverted by witnesses entitled to the fullest credit , and he should therefore at once order the defendant to be discharged . Since the case was brought under his notice he had received various communications respecting ( he girl , one of which contained an offer on the part of a benevolent society for the reformation of young females for her admission into their asylum ; and also a letter from her mother at Nottingham , who expressed an anxious wish to receive ' -her back under her roof , in which case he
understood tbat her former master was again willing to provide her with ample employment . He should leave it to the g irl to determine as to which of tho above courses she was desirous to adopt , and should direct her , in the meantime , to be conveyed back to tho Infirmary of Hackney Workhouse , where she would remain until her health was re-established . The magistrate announced the receipt of a £ 5 note from "A Nobleman ; " ldi . from "A . B . C . ; " and 10 s . from " X .

Game attended for the prisoner , who represented herself to bea" governess . "—The Rev . James Sherman , minister of the Surrey Chapel intheBlackfriars-road , deposed that about the middle of the year 1849 the prisoner obtained a . sum of £ 5 or £ G from him by fraudulent pretences , on the promise of getting the child of a member of his congregation into the Orphan Working School . —Mr . Samuel Wood , a
gentleman residing at Walthamstow , said tlie prisoner had obtained twenty guineas from him on her undertaking to secure the election into the Governesses' Institution of a lady for whom he was interested . —Several persons were examined from whom the prisoner , by the most artful craft and plausible representations , had obtained sums of money varying from five pounds to five shillings . It was said that tho prisoner had not only m . inaged to live in dashing stylo herself , and keep her page in livery , but supported her mother and two sisters by this ' species of plunder . Sergeant Quinnoar and Merit , who have the management of the case , informed the magistrate that they had at present as many as twenty cases against the prisoner , and if
remanded they had very little doubt the charges would amount to as many more . —The prisoner , whodurirg the whole of the examination kept her face concealed , was remanded until Tuesday next .

On the following day the key of the cupboard was missing , and could not be found , and on Saturday last it was forced open , and the watch and chain missing . Having no doubt that the watch must have been taken by some
person in the house , he sent for Sergeant Goff , and that officer , on questioning the prisoner , who is in the prosecutor ' s employment , ascertained that she md been out on the previous afternoon , and had been in company with a young man who kept her company , named Plumb . Goff subsequently found out Plumb , and that person at once acknowledged that the prisoner had given him the watch saying she had found it at the top of the street , and he at once gave up the property . —Sergeant Goff in his evidence said , that it was his belief that the young man Plumb was quite innocent of any guilty knowledge that the watch had been stolen , as he had made his master acquainted with the circumstance , and on his recommendation was about to advertise the property . On this representation Plumb was admitted as a witness against his sweetheart , and the latter was fully committed for trial .

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS AT STOCK « PORL-CflARTIST INFLUENCE . During Dr . M'Douall's incarceration , the Chartists of Stockport memoralised the Home Secretary for his release , or , otherwise , a relaxation of the harshness which the prison rules subjected him to . To this memorial twenty-seven of the Tory Councillors attached their names , and for this ona good action the Chartists of this town have not opposed tbem in the Municipal Elections , and consequently they have won every contest . However , an unloosed for vacancy arose in the middle ward , which Mr . Alexander Henry Shaw was appointed to fill . The Chartists remembered , however , thafi when he was asked to si » n the M'Douall testi * monial , he had said , " No ; if the scratch of my pea would do him any good , I would not do it , nor foe any such an animal ! " and they resolved to opposa
him . The Tory Committee was informed of tha Chartist hostility to their candidate , and requested to withdraw him . Mr . Shaw expressed his regrefe and sorrow for offending the Chartist body , and stated that he was unacquainted with their place of meeting , otherwise he would have attended and given an ample apology . But when requested for a written recantation of the offensive expression , he unhesitatingly refused . The Chartists then began their canvas , and the Whigs offered to defray the expense of the Chartist canvas , which was wisely refused . After a desperate struggle , in tho worst ward in the town for Chartist influence , the final state of the poll was as follows : —Chapman ( Whig ) 228 ; ShaW ( Tory ) 225 . Majority , 3 . Honour to the Chartists of Stockpoit ! They have justly punished inhu . « manifcy , and shown their power .

The editor having kimily referred this letter to me , I can only re-affirm that the languago used by some of the speakers was of a most violent , nnd atrocious description ; th : tt the chairman never attempted to call the speakers to order ; that when appealed to by myseli and Mr . Ilarney , he stated that he considered Mr . O'Connor ' s character public property , and as such open to animadversion ; but that lie trusted they would in future be less vindictive in their tone . Language of a similar description still continued to be used in the debate , without the chairman interfering ; I therefore consider my reference to the character of the chairman and meeting fully justified .
