>> ^ ¦ POLISH INDEPENDENCE . A Dinner , Public M eeting , and Ball took place on \ Ffidav evening , tie 20 tfa , at the Fraternal Home , TurnmiU-street , Clerkenwell , to commemorate the Twentieth Anniversary of the Polish Revolution . The hall was splendidly decorated , and embelusnea -with the names of the most celebrated patriots . At two o ' clock a large number of Poles , including some of the old emigration , and several German , Hungarian , and Italian gsests , together with the Hefulree Committee , and several English friends sat down to a substantial dinner , cooked in the style of the Polish cuisine .
At six o ' clock , the friends invited to attend were addressed by Messrs . Majewski , Kierbtewski ,, ana Badzikowski , the former bcin ? in the cbmr . meir speeches , which were delivered intUe r > o i " t i * | " / gunge , were greeted with great apP » MB JJ . countrymen They urced the m ^ 1 ! -, 0 ^?™!} and perseverance , and " hoped ttat m . « £ gg ^ ¦ would be free , anil Democracy Smily be es . abli . ueu - ff ^ S ^ S tluV had met to celebrate the tiS ^ S ^ S ^ f -ssrr ^ s ^ ^ Kke S of tho Democrats , for their own rolfista pur-. P « nce Caartoryski had agents in Inland ,
poses France , atfd Germany ; but Russia was more particularly the centre of his i : ; tri » ues . His object r-was , not to serve the cause -of the people , but to obta ' in the throne of Poland for himself . lie had it on the authority of ninety Poles—men of strict ante'T-iiv—that Lord Dudley Stuart was his agent in England , lie had received large sums from the people , in addition to grants from government , -which he distributed among those favourable to the schemes of Czartoryski , and refused to give assistaicc to the veritable Democrats , unless they consented to < fo to America . Theannualbaltat Guildhall generally produced £ 800 or £ 930 , noc a farthing of which was « iven to those most in nee 1 of it . Lord Dudlev Stoa-tsaid in his speech , that the money
went " to those who were sick and distressed . Two of the Poles who were sick had applied to him , and to was credibly informed that his answer was , " They had better « : o to tl-. c workhouse , " ne had said that he had £ 1 , 200 to pay their passage , and . give them , if they would emigrate to America ; bat they nobly cieeffued doijigso . Sending them to . America was lite sending them oat of the world . He trusted their subscriptions would not cease until the period , and it wouM not be long , when the ser' vices « f these men would be again needed iu the " battle-Sold . Two of tie refugees had been per-- « jc » -lcd to embark for Denmark . They did so ; and , when they arrived , they were arrested and thrown into prison . Fifteen or . twenty received free pardons from the Russian government , and were induced to return to ike : r homes ; thev did so , and were now suffering
Jot their creJnliir , by being exiled to Siberia . These tninzs looked suspicious . Mr . "Williams , the member for Lnmbetli . told them th' « t he could have raised £ 1 , 000 for these men , but was prevented by Codben and Stuart ; and Mr . Williams Believed , that their sole object in wishing them to go to America was the fear that they would aid the democratic canso in this country . The Committee had ljcsn unable to allow the refugees more than id . a day " for thc r support ; he trusted they would soon be enabled to do better for them—they were truly deserving of i £ . A democratic history of ths times "wouid ^ et be written , and all honour would be given -to the workinj men of London , more particularly -io the shoemakers , for their support . All working men , of whatever clime , were brethren , and bound , in duty and in self-defence , io treat each other as such . " ( Loud cheers . )
31 . IUktjieiemt , a French refugee , condemned in Jane , 1 S 4 S , addressed the meeting in the French language , and in an eloquent manner demonstrated ± he necessity of all democrats being united to combat their common enemy of Nature ' s children . This speech , of which the above is a brief translation , was rapturously applauded . Carl Schapfee , whose exertions in the cause of freedom in Germany are so well known , briefly addressei his countrymen in the German tongue . He then said in English , that some few years back the "working men of England looked with contempt upon foreigners—they were taught to consider them - as their enemies , but such had been the spread of -intelligence , that thepenceof the workingmen were now doin < r more for the support for the Polish Exiles than the boasted exertions of Lord Dudley
Stuart and his aristocratic friends . The same progression was now to be seen in all other countries , formerly , the people of enck country were opposed ' to , and were led to thirst for , the bfood of those of sn adjoining kingdom . Until the last revolution , - the German people had been opposed to the success of the Poles . Sow the working men of most European countr . ' es were endeavouring to form an alliance with each other ; this , if earned into effect , would soon dissipate all petty jealousies , nnd make one universal republic throughout the world . ( Loud cheers . ) Let them , then , give all honour to those who had Wed and died in furthering this groat end , and to the thousands who were yet suffering in . prison and in exile in behalf of the great truths of -progression , and the universality of brotherhood . ¦ TLoud cheers . )
Messrs . Grcszecki , Prcsztxski and RisscKi , in enei-goiie speeches , recommended union . About nine o'clock dancing commenced , and was kept up with great spirit until an early hour . Among the gnests present we noticed Colonel . Fraiity F .-eundt , Mr . Fleming , and other well-known English and continental advocates of freedom . Mr . O'Coxxob sent a special messenger to apologise for bis absence , occasioned by an unforseen event . A modicum of bread and salt was conveyed io him by the messenger , in token of their hospitality and friendship . Admission to the dinner , and the after proceedings was entirely free , no
colleetion whatever being made . These gallant men Jrcve during their residence in London , out of the " -threepence or fourpence per day which they have -received , laid by a halfpenny per " day as a sacred fund to commemorate this anniversary , and to fos enabled , for at least one day , to return the hospitality and kindness which for so long a period they had received from their English brethren . Paring the evening the police on six different occasions catne into the room , hut on being remonstrated with , and informed that it was not a public meeting , but that admission was only by ticket , they were induced to retire .

THE HUNGARIAN AND POLISH KEFfJGEFS . We have received a very lengthy document from the Refugees resident in Turnraillstreet , in continuation of the article written last week , signed YarinolinsM and Breanski , and also a repl y to that article from Mr . Davis and the English Committee . The 3 e two documents would neariy occupy a page of the " Star" if printed in full , and it must be evident , that it is quite impossible for us to afford so much space to a question , which , however exciting and important to those personally interested in it , cannot he supposed to
possess any attraction to the general reader . "We regret also to observe , that both communications are pervaded by very strong personal feeh ' ng , and believe that we should l > est consult the interests -which both parties profess io be desirous of serving , by staling as -concisely and dispassionately as possible , the facts we glean from these communications . Mr . BreanBki and his friends look upon Mr . Bartochowski as the friend of the Secretary to the Literary Association presided over by Iiord Dudley Stuart . They regard that . nobleman as the friend and agent of Prince CyastorsM , whose object they allege is to establish a kingdom for himself in Poland , not to make it a free nation They are opposed
to that policy , and determined never to rest satisfied until not only their own country , but thesmallestplaceinEurope , enjoys a thorough democratic constitution . They accuse the first English Committee of being under the influence of Mr . BartoehowsM and his party . They complain of one of their members having t > eeu treated as though he were dishonest , though there was no charge against him . They state that there was division in that Committee , that it at length deserted them , though leoked upon by the English Democrats and the Refugees as a mediator between them , because the Refugees would not allow it to interfere with their political affaire . It is further stated that upon the Committee leaving Turnmill-street , the Refugees
Brought their complaints before the Metropolitan Shoemakers' Trades Committee , representing a large body of working men , by whom they had been supported three and four days every week . There thev found true friends in distress , and a public meeting was announced by several papers , and published by bills , to be held the 11 th of Sov ., at 41 , Turnmill-street , CJerkenwell-green . f ^ st—To make the subscribers judge between the Refugees and their Provisional Committee . Second , — To elect , if tie case , a permanent one . Subscribers and Refugees assembled , but none m the committee members were authorised to juBtuy theactionsof their body .

charges before the public , and the ,-proposed men whom they had , during seven Months ; experience , many occasions to recognisf ,, M men m whom their ^ CS ^ ift&i ? j-jp « - held a public meeting at theBritish Institution in CowPeSeet / and instead of allowing the fifty-six Sffito ' Bafagees to bring their charges before the Dublic , tboy opened the meeting , and occupied the time , from eight till a quarter past eleven o ' clock , with defences against charges of dishonesty , which had never been made by the Refugees . The C oiiunittee-room , in Cowper-street , let for that night like the Lecture Hall to the dissolved Committee , was filled with more than twenty-four policemen , who were treated with beer and tobacco during the evening . The public at twelve o ' clock , approved by loud applause the protesting Refugees , and the meeting broke up .
If the fifteen who Btill stop with the dissolved Committee will return to their exiled brethren , they will be received with open arms . At the same time , the fifty-six Refugees protest against any subscriptions ' or funds rising , which shall be made hy the discharged Committee in the name of the " Hungarian and ' . Polish Refugees , " and invite respectfully their benefactors to visit 4 'iem at 41 , Turnmill-street , Clerkenwell-gveen , — the Fraternal Home—where , living on 4 d . per day , colonel and officer are the servants of the soldier , and v / ce versa . _ Yaemoukskt . Bukakski . On the other side , Mr . Davis , and the members of the Committee , thus protested against , and who hold their meetings at 26 , Golden Lane , Barbican , statethat
The first body of Poles that arrived in London were about fifty in number , of which twenty we to America ; the rest lived in a miserahle and starving condition in lodging houses , in Bucklestreet , Whitechapel , where they were accidentally found , and introduced to the Crown and Anchor locality , and the various localities in the Tower Hamlets , by whom they were supported ( in conjunction with about ' thirty other Poles , that arrived at a later period from Southampton , ) until the beginning of June , when a committee was formed to call on the public for subscriptions , and a sub-committee was formed of tho three following Polish Democrats : Captain Rolla , Bartochowtki , Colonel Oberski , and Captain Przezdzrecki , as tru «
an-1 honest democrats ; arid these gentlemen wero elected unanimously by the Pole 3 themselves , to distribute the funds collected . About three month * afterwards , however , they protested against that committee , and it was dissolved , though the specified charge against them was abandoned . Mr . Bartochowski then produced his book ? in Polish , with a-copy in English , before the committee and the Poles . They were asked if they had anything to say against the accounts . They answered they were perfectly satisfied . IIow is it that they did not say a word from September until the 19 th November , and then , instead of making their accusations in the democratic press , they sent it to
the Sun newspapers . After the retirement of those three gentlemen the English committee was requested to distribute the funds themselves , whioh duty they performed until Sunday , the 3 rd November , when a Pole , named Folklender , applied for assistance , against which the Poles protested , accusing him of being a spy ; but tho committee followed the old maxim— " Call no man guilty until proved to be so" — voted him eighteenpence , to keep Lim from star-ring , until an investigation took place . The Poles admitting the decision of the committee to have been wrong , instead of being quiet until the following Wednesday , and then proved the truth of their accusation , they all •¦ et upon him , illusedhim , and turned him out .
The Committee , at length , felt they could no longer conduct their business independently in Turnmill-street , and left it , the resolution to do so having been carried by a majority of twenty-four to three . They state , however , that the minority remained , and called themselves the Committee ; they state that , at the Cowper-street meeting , the Poles attended for the purpose of assaulting M . Bartochowski , and that they used very " base" language upon that occasion . The Committee thought of returning , but at the same time , felt it their duty to submit a balance sheet to tho public . It was accepted and passed , and they received a document signed by twenty-six Poles , expressing their sorrow at the conduct of their brethren , and requesting the committee to confanue tlieir ex « rtl 6 MS .
The whole of those men having been actually engaged under the glorious Kossuth , Bern , and Guzon , in from ten to twenty battles . These are the men denounced as aristocrats , who have received but little assistance from the committee , for they have embraced every opportunity to maintain themselves by learning slipper making , tailoring , and various other means , but in consequence of the slackness are now out of employ . Still , when ' applying to the committee for assistance , they will not receive more than sixpence a day , out of which they have to pay threepence per nigfcfc for their lodgings . It is on behalf of those men that the committee appeal to the public for support , and
hope that you will receive subscriptions for them , " The document concludes by allegations against the character of an individual , which we could not publish without infringing the law of libel , and which , if published , could not in any way benefit the two parties of refugees , who are equall y dependent on public support . It is quite clear that there is a divided difference on matters o principle between tho two bodies , and be must beg to decline , in future , the insertion of any controversial letters on the subject ; while we shall , at all times , be happy to give every assistance in our power to promote the welfare of both .

ADDRESS OF THE METROPOLITAN TRADES COMMITTEE TO THEIR BROTHER UNION ISTS ON BEHALF OF THE > POLISH REFUGEES . There is not a record in the history of nations , when the grand subject of political and sooial rights so much required your sympathy and support as on the present ocoasion ; when so many brave and noble men , who havo been exiled from their country , family , and connexions , through the combined influence of despotism , tyranny , and treachery , to seek shelter amongst us , and shall we not , as men meeting for a philanthropic purpose , hold forth to them tho hand of brotherhood and fraternity ? Certainly we should ; and it . is through that claim that we now call upon you to assist thia Committee in carrying out this object , viz ., the support of the Polish Refugees now in this country .
Any further comment on the merits of their cause would , w « think , be superfluous ; suffice it to say , that all our exertions have only enabled us to supply these unfortunate men with the scanty pittance of fourpence , and sometimes threepence per day . Now , fellow workmen , we appeal to you as men , as fathers , and as brothers in fraternity , to give your hearty response to this appeal . AH communications , or money to be sent ( post free ) to Mr . Scotter , Rising Sun , Callendcr-yard , Long Alley , Moorfields , London . We are , brothers in union , yours fraternally , the Trades Committee : — John Ladd , Georov Febbi 3 , Timotht Mahohy , Henry . Waters , Thomas Antill , Luke King , Walter Daddo , W . H .

LAND AND COTTAGES FOR . TEEiOTALERS . Mr . Editor , —The omission of the words : . "« two-roomed cottage , with two acres , within 200 yards , at £ 8 per annum" in the advertisement under the above title , in your paper of the 23 rd November , has not only rendered it useless , but has brought upon me very severe censures from some of your " constant readers , " on account of the supposed great increase of rent on this estate . Permit me , therefore , to explain the grave error in which they have fallen . The rents on this estate are now the same as they have been for the last two years , at which rates they have' always found ready customers , viz ., £ 2 per acre for the land , and £ 4 for a two-roomed cottage .
Indeed , there would be neither land nor dwelling to be had here , were it not that an old tenant of a two-roomed cottage in the building field , and a two acre allotment in the farm fields is about to remove , and 1 am instructed to fill up the vacancy ( with none but a pledged teetotaller , ) at £ 8 perannum rent . The seemingly disproportionate rent ( £ 14 ) of the advertised two acre tenement , arises from the circumstance that the cottage ( which by the bye is not quite finished ) is a three-roomed one ; that it fronts the highway ; that it Las a magnificent well , and that the two acres are attached to it , and have a
valuable building frontage , and are therefore to be let at £ A per acre , which is its real value ; two acres much further back having been sold for £ 160 . Now , Mr . Editor , I hold the doctrine that in commercial transactions a thing is worth what it will fetch , ( and I know that the owner will not accept less than £ 14 a-year for this lot , ) therefore , I would wish that none of your il constant readers , ' should abuse an " advertiser , " particularly when they admit that they have no knowledge of the advertised property . Respectfully yours , Gbokoe Page , ( a pledged teototalla ) Dibdin Hill , Ohaltbnt , St . Giles , Bucks .

THE GLAZIER ' S STRIKE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE . A number of journeymen glaziers applied to Mr . Hardwick at the Marlborough-street Police-office , on Saturday last , under these circumstances : — They had been t . iken on to work at the Crystal Palace on Thursday last , and ^ had been " knocked off" work at a moment ' s notice tho next morning , without , however , being discharged . They attended at the works , having been told by tho sub-contractor , or overlooker , to wait : and they had waited nearly all Friday and that day . AVhen they wero called to be paid , 2 s . 7 d . only was given to them , which amounted to the price of the work actually done , although they had been engaged by the day , and were eutitled to receive day-work payment . Their claim was for two days' work at 4 s . a-day , and they wished to know how they were to enforce it ?—Mr . Hard wick said the question was one with which a magistrate had nothing to do ; the applicants , if they had any substantial claim . against the contractors , must apply to the County Court .
\ fnK CnARGB op Intimidation . —On Monday , at MarJborough-streefc , Mr , Bingham proceeded to £ ive his judgment on the evidence brought before him in support of a charge against William St . Clair , of having attempted by intimidation to obtain a higher rate of wagos for the workmen from Messrs . Fox and Henderson , the contractors for the Exhibition of Industry . —Mr . 'Bingham said : On Monday week the defendant , accompanied by and at the head of nearly fifty workmen who had quitted their employment , accosted the contractor for the works in Hyde-park with words and a gesture , which , even according to the account given by the defendant and his witnesses , amounted to a breach of the peace . For this breach of the peace he was
immediately given into custody , and brought before the magistrate . Upon the hearing ho was remanded till the next day , when the prosecutor , in addition to his complaint touching the breach of peace committed in Hyde-park , contended that the sending of a certain letter by the defendant to tho prosecutor before the breach of the peace was committed was an offence under the statute Cth George IV ., c . 129 ; and , if so , it is undoubtedly by far the most serious and important circumstance that has been brought to the notice of the magistrate . It is objected , however , by tho defendant to this part of the case , that no summons was issued against him , and that a magistrate has no jurisdiction over offences under the statute 6 th George IV ., o .
129 , until a summons has been issued . It seems to me that the case of " Rex . v . Stpne , " 1 East C 49 , and three others which preceded it , might tie held in answer to this objection . But , as - it is of- great importance that the charge against the defendant , under the statute , should be decided on its own merits , unembarrassed by questions about form or technicalities , I refrain from expressing any opinion on that charge . Is it the intention of the prosecutor to apply for a summons ? Mr . Humphreys : res , if the present proceedings should beirregular .- — Mr . Bingham : Then , with respect to the breach of
the peace , which was the immediate occasion of the defendant ' s arrest , it seems to me so subordinate a part of the whole proceedings tiiat I shall not err in now ordering his . discharge . —Mr . Ripon ( for the defendant ) applied for a certificate of dismissal . Mr . Binghain said he would consider the application . If a certificate ought to be granted , it could be granted at any time . —Mr . Ripon applied for an order on the police to restore the papers , which , he contendod , had been improperly kept from him . —Mr . Bingham could not give any order .- —Mr . Humphreys then applied for a summons against the defendant , which was granted .

Ho then left his Clover ' s premises , and as he was suspected of PuKing the cash ' box , information was given at tbo polce-station , and S ergeant Barker , M division Succeeded in taking him into custody . When SSSntotheitatlonrhouw , Bowler , in reference to the cash box , said that he was induced to plunder bis employer by bis fellow prisoner , who , knowing that he had access to the iron safe on the premises Ssol him to Steal the cash box . He at first refused to listen to such a suggestion , but his scruples were at length overcome , and on the day mentioned , when he was Bent to the iron safe , for the books , he tnok the ODDOrtunity of taking the cash box , and ,
as previously arranged , he handed it over to trn associate , who was waiting on tho premises to receive it . Bowler added that tho man who had urged him to the commission of the offence was then waitinff for him at a neighbouring coffee-shop , and thither the sergeant proceeded and apprehended Smith . The latter prisoner , on that occasion , when informed of the nature of the charge agamsfc him , and told that Bowler had confessed to taking the cash box , said he was glad of it—that truth was the best—and that his being out of employ , and having no money , was the reason that he became mixed up in the transaction . —The prisoners , who declined Baying anything in answer to the charge , were
committed . . . . Charge of Attempted Suicide ax London Bridge . —Mary Head , a decent looking female , was charged with attempting to drown herself on the Surrey side of London bridge . Police Constable 225 M , said about nino o ' clock on Wednesday night ho was on duty near the foot of London bridge , when ho saw the prisoner rush by him and run with great speed down the steps leading to the river . He pursued her and caught hold _ of her into
clothes just as she was in the act of jumping the water . She appeared to have been drinking . — In answer to tho magistrate , prisoner said ehe had been deserted by her husband at Birmingham , and that a few days ago she came up to London to find him . She had not been able to do so , and being very much excited , she foolishly ran down the steps of the bridge , but with no intention of jumping into the water . —Mr . A'Beckett said ho should detain her until some person came forward to be answerable for her future conduct .

As soon as he recovered from the effects of the blow he stood up to defend himself against his assailant . At this time the two prisoners approached him , and all three fell upon him and beat him about until he became perfectly insensible . —Three witnesses confirmed tho above statement , and after the prisoners had called witnesses , who iailed to disturb the foregoing evidence , Mr . Elliot convicted each of the male prisoners in the full penalty of £ 5 , or two months' Imprisonment , and the female in £ 1 , or fourteen days ,
MAXSION-HOUSE . — The Fbench Emigrants . — The Lord Mayoi 1 said he had the gratification to state that ho had received a letter from Mr . Balfour , of the firm of Balfour , Laming and Co ., the shipbrokers , containing information relative to the sixty-five French emigrants to California , who had some days ago complained against Mr . Urbain , with whom they had entered into engagements for their voyage to California , for not having performed his contract by conveying them to that destination . The following is a copy of the communication , which his lordship considered hrghly honourable to the firm : — " 157 , Foiichnrch-strect , My Lord , —I feel certain that you will be pluased to learn that the matter of the Abyssinia is arranged , but I
conceive it to be due' to youi' lordship , who has only heard one side of the question , to my firm , as one of some standing in the City , and to the public at large , to explain the whole circumstances of the case , thereby enabling you to arrive at a fair conclusion on its merits . On the 25 th of September last Mr . Urbain brought a letter of introduction to our house from our correspondent at Paris , and requested us to load for California the ship Abyssinia , which he had then purchased from Mr . Alexander , the agent of the owners , for a sum of £ 3 , 100 , stating at tho same time that he had engaged his passengers at Paris , and that lie only required our assistance in loading the ship . Being well introduced we at once acceded to the request , and Air . Alexander confirmed
to us the next d . ay tho arrangement that had been made . A deposit having been duly paid the ship wss laid on the berth for goods , and an amount of freight between £ 800 and £ 900 engaged by us . During the loading Mr . Urbain paid over to us various sums amounting in all to upwards of £ 1 , 000 , which we paid over , as requested by him , to the late owners of the ship . About tho 20 th October , Mr . Urbain finding that it would cost a large sum of money to procure French papers , made overtures to us to allow the register to be put in our name , an idea which we at once repudiated , as we could not bind our names to such a transaction . At the same time feelin « for tbo position of the man , we made a liberal offer for the
purchase of the vessel outright . This ho rejected , informing us the day after that he had found a party who had acceded to his terms , and that the balance of tho purchase money would at once be paid . Thi j was never done , and the passengers becoming impatient the man was thrown into prison . Since that time proceedings have been taken against my firm , and although we derived no benefit from the transaction , nor are we in any way legally responsible for tho nets of Captain Urbain , yet deeply commisserating the condition of the poor emigrants , we have purchased the ship , and she will proceed to sea on Saturday . A number of these unfortunate emigrants being entirely without means , and almoaf ; without nocessary clothinp .
notwithstanding tbe heavy sacrifico we have already made—and those only who know what it ii to fit out an emigrant ship for a six months' voyage can appreciate that sacrifice—we have offered to contribute a further sum of fifty guineas , nnd we venture to appeal on their behalf to an English public—an appeal which is never made in vain . I can only add , that with one or two exceptions , the conduct of these men reflects upon them the greatest credit . I have the honour to be , my lord , your lordship ' s very obedient servant , Buchanan Balfour , of the firm of Balfour , Laming , and Co . —To the Right Hon . the Lord Mayor of London . " —Lieutenant Lean , R . N ,, government ngentfor tho port of London , said he had seen the vessel since Messrs . Balfour , Laming , and Co ., had fitted her out , and the provisions laid in , and the accommodations made by the firm for tho passage wero most unexceptionable . . Tho , poor foreigners had .
expressed in the most grateful manner their feelings towards the chief magistrate of London for having so promptly and strenuously undertaken their cause , and hoped that his lordship would in the ensuing year , when so many people from all nations would be assembled in the metropolis , be hailed by the approbation of all who formed a just estimate of the value of charitable national intercourse . — The Lord Mayor said ho was sincerely gratified at the liberal course pursued by Messrs . Balfour and Co ., who had thus stood , as it were , between the poor foreigners and their ruin ; but he could not at the same time conclude his expressions of satisfaction without returning thanks to Lieutenant Lean for tho benevolent pains that gentleman had taken in the business . —His lordship then at the request of the emigrants issued an order for the discharge of Capfc . Urbain from prison , to which that unfortunate person had been consigned upon their representations .

John Jari-. es : Smith is head-cellarman at our house , and Bowles is under him .

f cent of any intention to wrong his employer . —Mr . James said he believed that Bowles had been misled by Smith . —Smith told a rambling story about the removal of the bottles , and concluded by stating that he meant nothing to the injury of the prosecutors . —Alderman Hooper said he certainly considered Smith much moro criminal in the matter than Bowles , but the case was one which he should send for the decision of a jury . —Bowles : Smith was my foreman , and would not pay me my wages without going to the Bull tap , and I know nothing nt all about tho ale being taken out of the cellar .- — Tho prisoners were committed for trial .
Henry "Whitam was charged with having robbed his employer , Mr . Harker , of Upper Thames-street , merchant , of a quantity of pepper . —Committed for trial . The Alderman was occupied during the greater part of the day ia examing two men , one of whom had been in the confidential employment of Mr . Elliott , of Martin ' s-lane . —The case was remanded . GUILDHALL . —Charge op Crolty against a Barrister . —Mr . Fenn , secretary to the Royal Free Hospital , applied for a summons against Mr . Geo . Sloane , of 6 , Pump-court , Temple . A girl , named Jane Wilbred , aged eighteen , has lived with Mr . Sloane as servant of all work . Mr . G . Phillimore ,
who resides in the same house with Mr . Sloano , having reason to believe that such a girl was on the premises in a slate of extreme distress from illtreatment , sent to a neighbour , Mr . A . A . Fry , and the two obtained possession of the girl , and immediately removed her to the house of a laundress in Cursitor-street , and sent for a physician . —Dr . Marsden , of tho Royal Free Hospital , said he was called to attend the girl in Cursitor-street . She was in so low a condition as to be unable to speak . On turning down the bedclothes he perceived that the unfortunate creature bad scarcely anything but skin on her bones ; she was almost a . living skeleton . After all that had been done for her it was
possible that she might not survive , but if she had been left as found by Mr . Phillimore she must have died in a few days . On questioning the girl after her removal , she told him that two years ago she came from the West London Union to live with Mr . Sloano , being an orphan . For the first three or four months she had meat three or four times a week , since that time the allowance of meat had ceased , and she was onlj allowed a basin of vegetable broth per diem . Under this treatment she bad gradually wasted away . —Mr . Phillimore said that her clothing by day consisted of a chemise and gown ; at night her only covering was a counteit pane and sheet . —In reply to Alderman Humphrey ,
Dr . Marsdon said that ho would undertake to state that want of sufficient food , and not disease , was the cause of the physicial condition in which the girl was discovered . —The magistrate granted the summons , declaring bis determination to investigate the subject most thoroughly . Out-door Rklibf . —John Long wa 8 charged with being disorderly in the West London Union . —The relieving-offioer of the West London Union stated that on Thursday afternoon prisoner carne to him for relief , and , in compliance with the regulations , was offered-an order to go into the house , which the prisoner threw back in witness's face saying he wanted out-door relief for himself and wife and
child . This being refused prisoner became very violent , and rushed up stairs towards the board room , where the guardians were then assembling . He was stopped by the porter , but continuing violent , was given into custody . —Alderman Salomons said he thought the order issued by the board of guardians was unnecessarily harsh , aa it entailed on the prisoner almost perpetual imprisonment . —Priooner ' s wife said they only wanted a little out-door relief or else the admission of husband and child to the house . She could keep herself , and had kept the family for nine years , but the guardians refused to take one without all . —Mr . Chamberlain said lie was only acting in obedience to the orders received from the board of guardians , and ho could not ,
therefore , relieve one without the other in the way they wanted . —Alderman Salomons said he could not but think that the guardians were in fault ; but as he could not overlook prisoner's violent conduct , he would therefore send him to the House of Correction for seven days . WORSHIP STREET . —Ccthn-6 and Wousws ' c . —A man named G . Hopwood , described as a backgammon-board manufacturer in Anne ' s-place , Hackney-road , and his wife , Edith Hopwood , a comely and delicate looking young woman , were placed at the bar before Mr . Arnold , charged with cutting
and wounding a young woman named Jane Parnell , with intent to murder her . —Mr . Heritage , on behalf of the accused , said that he was instructed to give a total denial to the charge , which had originated in feelings of mortification and resentment on the part of the woman Parnoll , in consequence of her having been discharged by the male prisoner in favour of his lawful wife ; and he should be able , on a future occasion , to produce convincing evidence that neither of the accused persons bad left home at all upon tho evening in question . —Mr . Arnold ordered both the prisoners to be remanded for a week .
Criminal Assault . —Elisha Denton , an elderly man , who stood charged with a criminal assault upon a young girl named Emma Bennett , the daughter of an actor , was placed at the bar for final examination . —The only additional witness now examined was Mr . Thomas Meares , the divisional surgeon of police , whose evidence was of a nature which cannot be particularly detailed , but went to prove that the girl had been subjected to such violence as to leaa to the conclusion that the capital offence had been committed , —In answer to a question from
the magistrate , the ofiBcer who apprehended the prisoner stated that he had used overy exertion to trace out the young woman ' s father , by whom she alleged sbe had been deserted , but all his efforts had been unsuccessful ; and the wife of tho landlord of the house where the offence had been perpetrated waa too near her confinement to admit of her attendance . —The depositions were then completed by Mr . Vine , the chief clerk , and the prisoner , who earnestly protested his innooence , was fully committed to Newgate for trial .
BOW-STREET . —Charge of Robbery . —Timothy Stratford , James Oram , and Samuel Poole , were brought before Mr . Hall upon warrants by an inspector of the Thamos police , charged with being concerned in stealing at various periods between 1843 and 1847 several bags of coffee , sugar , and pepper , which formed the portion of the cargo of the ship Agnes , then lying in the docks . Their accomplices , Mitchell , Maynard , and Taylor , having identified the prisoners , said that Garrett , who was usually at the loophole , delivered the goods to the prisoners , who wero in the service of persons who knew nothing of such transactions , and after they were disposed of the proceeds were divided equally between them . —Tho prisoners declined saying any * thing to the charge , and they were ordered to be remanded until Saturday , the 7 th inst .

Parker , book seller and publisher , West Strand , on the 2 nd ; inst ., and after representing that he had recently returned from America , produced a letter addressed to him , purporting to bo written by Professor Scholfield , of Cambridge , whom he stated to be his uncle , and having obtained a sovereign to defray the expense of his journey home , he promised to call again ia a few days to refund it , which promise he did not keep . Subsequently it was discovered that ho had also committed frauds at Cambridge , by using the name of the same gentleman , and it was deemed necessary to advertise tho circumstances
, and give a description of the prisoner , in order to caution tho public against him . — heyeral other charges were made by persons who had been victimised in a similar manner . The prisoner was committed on three distinct charges Assault . —Adolphe de Werdinski was placed at the bar for final examination , on tho charge of having cruelly beaten and assaulted a little girl named Mary Anne Richardson , aged 16 , with whom he had lived and cohabited for unwards of five years . The depositions , which havo been from time to time reported in tho Times , were form . iJly taken by Mr . Burnaby , the chief clerk , after which the prisoner was asked if he had any defence to otter to the charge . The wagoner then addressed
the magistrate at some length , ne said : When ho fiM itoet this child he iound her ignorant of the existence of a God . He instructed her , and occasionally corrected her , and he could only say , if his own father had strapped him down to a bench u P , " 18 ned him . as he had punished her , ho Bhould have boen tho first after recovering from the injuries he mi ght have received to go and thank £ " ?' ., u ! hi 8 hnml for * services which he had done him ; If , by tho laws of England , it was a crime to correct a bad child , he was prepared to abide the consequences .

Jardinc stated his intention to commit the prisoner for trial for the violent assault upon the child .-The prisoner hoped Jja worship would deal with the case summarily . —Air . Jardine said it was of too serious a character to be disposed of in that way . Rodbkrt . —John Taylor , a town traveller , lately in the service of Mr . H . G . Bohn , bookseller and publisher , of York-street , Covent-gardes , was reexamined on tho charge of stealing a great number of books belonging to bis employer ; and John
Millard , a bookseller in Newgate-street , on suspicion of feloniously receiving the same . —Mr . Clarkson appeared for tho defendant Millard . At the previous examination it was proved that about 160 volumes ( including many volumes of the Standard Library ) were found at Taylor's lodgings ; and , on ascertaining that ho had been in the habit also of sending parcels of books to Millard ' s shop , Mr , Bohn went there in company with a police-officer , and had an opportunity , in the absence of Millard himself , oflookingoverthestock . He then identified ! a considerable number of his books , which , from their recent publication and peculiar binding , ho was certain had never been sold from his establishment in the ordinary way . One of the parcels sent
by Taylor was also lying upon the counter , and found to contain books belonging to the prosecutor . On the arrival of Millard , who lived at Clap * ton , he was questioned about the books , and displayed so much agitation in his manner , and told such contradictory stories about them , according to the Btatement of Mr , Bohn and the officer , that he was given into the custody of the latter for receiving with a guilty knowledge . Millard at that time admitted having given £ 2 only for bookg worth £ 5 10 s . ; but he said he always believed Taylor to be a respectable man , and he thought that he might have procured the books at some of the trade sales , where it was well known works often sold at greatly reduced prices . —
Mr . Clarkson now desired that all the books taken from his client ' s shop should be produced ; and that the prosecutor should be called upon to prova that they were his property . —Mr . Bohn pointed ! out the peculiarity to which he had referred as related to several of them , tho recent publication -of which also enabled him to state positively that they had been stolen . Mr . Millard wae aware that his town travellers never had any authority to receive money for the sale of his books ; besides which th& price he had given Taylor for the books , and which had enabled him to sell the works at less than half their actual cost , was alone sufficient to excite suspicion . Millard knew what the trade prices were , having had some of the works direct from him ( Mr ,
Bohn ) . In a letter which Millard had since written to him , he had promised to restore all the books he had purchased of Taylor , even at a personal sacrifice to > Himself of £ 10 . —Mr . Clarkson contended that this promise was perfectly consistent with the honour and integrity of his client , who had carried on » respectable business for many years . Books wero often sold at the trade sales at prices quite as low . —Mr . Bohn denied this , and asked if town travellers were to be encouraged in disposing of their employers' property in this way , at less than half its original cost to the latter ? If so , there was an end to all protection for men in his position . —* Mr . Jardine remarked , that however strong the moral conviction of the prosecutor might be in such
cases , it was necessary that the charge should ba made out by . facts before a magistrate . Owing to certain practices in the bookselling trade , admitted and sanctioned , it became very difficult to adjudicate in such a case , in the . 'ib » ence of direct and conclusive evidence of a guilty knowledge . Was there any further evidence to be given ?—Matthews , the constable who accompanied Mr . Bohn to Millard ' s shop and took possession of the books , said that Millard told him they were soiled and second-hand book * , and "that it took him a whole day to clean them after ho had purchased them of Taylor . " Tuia was said in the presence of the ' prosecutor , who confirmed the statement . —Mr . Jardine said , it was extraordinary that neither Mr . Bohn nor the constable included this in their former depositions . —Mr .
Clarkson deprecated the practice of adding afterthoughts to the depositions . —Eventually , after much discussion , Mr . Jardine committed Taylor for trial , and ordered Millard to enter into his own recognisances in £ 100 to answer the charge hereafter , Fbacas at the Adelphi Theatre . — A young man of respeotable exterior , who gave his name asj Arthur Temple , was charged by the constable on , duty near the theatre , with creating a disturbance at the doors on tho previous night . —It appeared that the defendant , and two others not in custody , went to the pit entrance drunk , and tendered payment at half price , but the checktaker refused to admit them , and returned their money . The defendant refused to go away , saying he waa " a nobleman , " and obstructed the passage , making a » reat noise . Witness took , him to tho stion-house .
where he was admitted to hail . —Mr . Henry fined the defendant 20 s ., or in default to be imprisoned seven days . —Paid . Counterfeit Coin . —II . Hart , who described himself as a servant , was charged as follows : —Mr * II . Brown , landlord of the White Lion public-house , King-street , Long-acre , said , on Tuesday the pi \ - soner entered his house , and in payment for a half a pint of porter tendered a shilling . Witness detected it to be spurious , and the prisoner tendered him a second , which was also found to be counterfeit . The prisoner then handed witness a halfcrown , and that was bad also . Witness then asked tho prisoner what he had got in his hand , and he placed upon the counter what seemed to be shillinga and half-crowns , He examined the money , and found it to he all counterfeit . There were two
half-crowns , one hve-shiliing piece , eight shillings , and a sixpence . —The prisoner , in defence , said ho had found the coin wrapped up at the back of an old chest of drawers in the room in which he slept . —Mr . Henry said he had no business to tako it ; he was guilty of a felony . —The prisoner said he was very sorry , but he thought it was all good money , —Mr . Henry said the prisoner had not acted like a professed smasher . It was just probable that somo coiner who had lived in the room had placed tho pieces in that place for concealment . lie should remand the prisoner for the purpose of having some inquiries made about him .
Brutal Assaults , —T . Chaff , a discharged soldier , in the receipt of a pension , was charged with brutally assaulting Frances Puffery , an old woman . — The prosecutrix , whose face boro marks ' of ill-usage , said the prisoner was her nephew . OnTuesday he received his quaterly pension , and in tho evening was much intoxicated . He quarrelled with her , and followed her into the passage of the house . Sho refused to admit him , when ho struck her sevoral violent blowa upon the face , knocked her down , and while on the ground kicked and beat her most unmercifully . The prisoner was a very dangerous person when drunk . On the last occasion when he received his pension , he beat his mother and broke her ribs . —Mary Paffery the daughter of
the last witness , said : when she intereferd to protect her mother , he beat and kicked her , and also pulled her by tho hair of the head into the court . —The prisoner said he was very sorry , and did not recollect what he had done . —Mr . llenry fined the prisoner £ 4 , boing £ 2 for each assault , and , in default of nayment , ordered him to be imprisoned for a month . MARLBOROUGII-STREET . —Cask of Distress . —Mrs . Eleanor Hirschfeld . tho widow of the late Mr . Herman Hirschfeld , banker and merchant of Paris , presented herself before Mr . Hard wick , to beg some temporary assistance for herself and four infant chidlren from the poor box . Mrs . nirschfeld presented several highly respectable recommendations , authenticating her melancholy history and her statement of destitution . Her husband was a Je \ r , but after marriage embraced Christianitv .
This act drew upon him the resentment of his family mjd his former friends , and , baring hccom& reduced by severe losses to insolvency and starvation , ho died at Berlin a short time ago brokenhearted . The applicant applied to his relatives for somo trifling assistance , but . they denied it , because thcit relative had become n Christian . They even wept so far as to place obstacles in her way of recovering some papers to show that her husba ' nd was an arch-Mason , and had a claim upon that compassionate fraternity . Mrs . Hii'sehfeld said that her children had fallen sick , nnd sbe felt that her own , wiakeued frame could no longer serve to find them support . Sho hud thus been compelled to make the present application . —Mr . Hard wick , having looked over some papers which Mrs . Hirschfeld had presented , immediately ordered her a sovereign from tho poor box .

THE REFUGEES . TO THE DEMOCRATS OF ENGLAND . We , the Provisional Committee , earnestly beg our brother democrats to lend U 3 their assistance on behalf of the Polish and Hungarian Refugees . Since our election we have regularly paid the monies collected , to the secretary elected by the refugees . The old committee has not paid them n f ; irthin » . This body convened a public meeting ia Cowper-street , on the 20 th , to make charges against the refugees for having said that they had no confidence in them . Fifteen of the . refugees , who were among the most prominent objectors to the old committee , and who were receiving daily pay from us , were , to our surprise , on the side of the old body . These men would not associate . with
their brother exiles , or lodge with them at the refuge , while the remaining fifty-six , from tbo colonel to the private , live together in fraternity and equality . Some of the fifteen , when applying for money from us after tho 20 th , acknowledged that they received sixpence per day from the old committee . Frequent applications has been made to the Leader office for money , when the men have been without food , and refused ; and Mr . Holyoako has been asked to take Mr . Rider ' s place , which has been refused . Friends , these patriotic exiles are deserving the support of every true Democrat , and we call upon jou to say by your subscriptions , whether these fifty-six brave men shall be driven , in want and wretchedness from their present refuge , and become outcasts and wanderers on the world .
Subscriptions may be sent to Mr . O'Connor , Mr . Rider , Mr . Harney , or Mr . Reynolds , made payable to T . Brown , who will be glad to give any information required . All persons visiting London aro invited to visit ; the Fraternal Home , 41 , Turnmillstreet .

THE REFUGEES AND THE "LEADER . " TO THE EDITOR OF TEE NORTHERN BTAR . Sib , —Two sentences which occur in' tho letter of Mr . Brown , entitled tho " Refugees , " in last week's Scar , seem to require a short explanation . Witb respect to monies received by the Leadtr for the Refugees , Mr . Brown says , " Mr . Holyoako has been asked to take Mr . Rider ' s place , which hii 3 been refused . " What does Mr . Brown mean ? No such request has been made to me . Mr . Brown gays , " frequent applications have been made to the Leader office for money , when the men have been without food , and refused . " The money paid at the leader ofBee-r-permit me to explain—were intrusted to them in consequence of th 9 appeal of Captain Rola Bartochowski , whose appeal was inserted because they knew him to bo a man of
honour , and to possess the confidence of the Central Committee , whose decision on Polish affairs is entitled to be final . Therefore the office declined to pay the subscriptions to a party unknown to them , feeling bound to transfer the money to tho hands of Captain Rola , who was joined by Mr . Arnott , of the Chartist Executive , in demanding it , and their names are a guarantee that the Leader office has rcjpected the confidence reposed in ifc , in the payment of subscriptions . Perhaps Mr . Brown is not aware that I have used all the influence I possessed to bring about an union between the-two parties , into which the Poles are unhappily divided ; and they who write letters whieh fan the dJECord now among them , will arrest public sympathy altogether , disincline any Newsnauavaffice to
