    vUaMe to serre the present fourteen days' notice to quit on twelve of the men , and on Tuesday they also gave notices to quit to ten additional drivers and firemen . It appears tbat some of the men both at Bugijy and Camden Town have reported themselves sick , and thus relieved themselves from duty , as the authorities balieve , for the purpose of going to various places and agitating the men . The company stil ! allege that many of these men have received then notices for incompetency and impertinence ta their superior officers . Certain , however , it is that the men who have received these notices seem to be exasperated to the highest pitch , and , although neariy every man on the southern division has expressed his willingness to remain in the company ' s service under existing regulations , there is no knowing what influence the recent steps of the company , in dismissing so many men , may have , several being drivers of thirteen or fourteen years' standing on the line .

    Or . the part of the men it is but just to state that there seenies every disposition to conciliation , and they appear particularly anxious that the directors and the public should be assured that they altogether repudiate a " strike , " or any attempt at a strike . They declare positively they never contemp lated a strike ; aad in answer to a question put to a large body tif drivers and firemen , at the Camden Station on Tuesday evening , they declared " that if the wages of the northern men were reduced on that part of the line to Is . per day , they would not strike in consequence ; and that all the interference they adopted was to ask Mr . Glyn , M . I ., as chairmaa of the company , to become the mediator

    between tbe authorities of the northern division and their men . " In the face of this , however , it is stated that when the deputation of the southern division engine drivers waited on Mr . Glyn , they veu to that gentleman ' s face intimated that a strike would take place unless the men ' s wishes were met . The best spirit appears to prevail among the men , and it is to be hoped thai their voluntary recommendation of adopting a month ' s notice on the SOUlLern division , in lieu of the present fortnight ' s notice , will be generally acted upon . Should ittake place there can be no doubt but the directors will receive it as a concession , and that even the notices already served on the men may be withdrawn .

    From our Second Edition of last wtek . j On Thursday , the following document was issued by the authorities of the London and North Western Kailway : — " Notice , to be read to each man on the Northern Division ( Driver , Turner , or Fireman ) by the Foreman . —The directors , owing to the attitude assumed by some of the men who have threatened to quit their service without due notice , have arranged to reduce the number of trains , and have received into their employ new hands in the place of those thus proposing to desert their engines . This has been a matter of regret to the directors ; hut , compelled

    as they are to provide for the public service and safety , they cannot permit the prc-oia state of uncertainty to exist any longer . They therefore request that any man who , from any cause , desires to leave the company's service , will at once say so to Ms rorcman , and a fourteen days' notice from the company will immediately be handed to him . The directors are glad to find that so many men have agreed to stand by them , and they fully appreciate such conduct . —IIardman Eable , Chairman of the locomotive Committee , Northern Division . —By order , Mark Htjisd , General Manager . —General Manager ' s Office , Euston Station , December 26 th , 1850 "

    On Thursday night a meeting of engine drivers and firemen in the employ of the London and North "Western Railway , on the southern division of that line , toon place at the Railway Tavern , Hampstead Road , when the following resolution was passed : — " That this meeting knowing the desire the enginemen and firemen engaged on the London and North "Western Railway have to keep on friendly terms with their employers , and to avoid the inconvenience to the company and the public from sudden strikes , do recommend to their follow-workmen

    throughout the line to consent to the establishment Of a month's notice , instead of a fortnight aa before , if the directors , in accordance with their expressed intention of not interfering with the present rate of wages , will be please ! to pass a minute of the board guaranteeing the men now employed , or to bu employed during three years from this time , from any reduction of wages , or increase in their daily labour . And that this meeting he adjourned to obtain the opinion of th- men of the various districts , on this proposition . " The meeting terminated at a Lite hour .

    THE GERMAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY . 2 . —He Revolution and the Present Condition of Parties and of tbe XaU ' on . On the 19 th of March , 1848 , the King of Prussia proclaimed the election of a National Assembly " on the largest Democratic basis . " The Assembly was elected , and met in Berlin , " to enact ' the fendamental law of Prussia . " At the same time a National Assemblv for Germany was elected on a similar basis , by * the whole German nation , and met at Frankfort-on-the-Main . Each German Government , and even the Diet of Frankfort , professed to recognise " the supreme legislative power of that National Assemblv "

    Under the influence of the alarm occasioned by the Simultaneous revolutionary movements of Europe , tie King of Prussia , and other German Princes ) professed to grant more than royalty could honestly intend permanently to concede ; a premonitory symptom from the first of their subsequent perfidy which is immorally defended and excused bv some but which cannot now be denied . * ' They granted more than their peoples were prepared wisely to use and to secure ; for the revolution in Germany at first raised to popular power the only well-organised Liberal party , that constitutional party which neither originated nor sprang from the revolution , which was not imbued with its tendencies and principles , nor , consequently , capable of condueting it to success . The policy in which this party had been educated was that of extortinir

    partial reforms by the fear of revolution . That policy was clearly only applicable to a time in which revolution , being still only in prospect , the Kings might be induced to concessions for the sake of avoiding it , and bound to the faithful observance of them by the same motive . The revolution having broken out , compromise might have been a rational policy , if the world ' s history had not Ion * a « o shown that the words of princes are no sufficient g ? fJ S . t j r * 11 ? liberties of their subjects ; but with ttt bad faith of the roval houses , of which a Knowledge of human nature ought to have forewarned me constitutional party , compromise after molution was to divest and destroy tho revolution itself , and to secure nothing for the people for the mere selfish policy of the Kings could no longer be to avoid a danger which bad already arrived , but to defeat it .

    Tins reasoning was not then understood by the Constitutional party . They obtained a maiontr in tho assemblies of both Berlin and Frankfort And one of the first resolutions of the Berlin Assembly abandoning the principle of popular sovereignty waste declare that the representatives of the people haJ not to enact of themselves the fundamental law < m the country , but to make a compact , a bargam ( erne verfassung zu vereinbaren ) with the kin "' The Frankfort National Assembly did , indeed " , professedly proceed to enact the fundamental law for Germany , for it was hopeless to concoct a bargainmth thirty-four royal and princelv houses ; But they chose an Austrian Archduke as provisional Chief of the « mpi ^ and despatched the forces under tbew command against every popular movement rathe smaller states . e"H ^^

    uiuye-Frora that moment a bitter feeling pervaded the nation . A new revolution beeama necessary to reconquer the rights professedl y conceded under the influence of the first . The Democratic party , whose organisation and strength as a party had yielded to that of the Constitutionalists , began to unite and organise themselves more closely under the defeat which , a policy of compromise was entailing on the people . They were obliged to accept the situation nowerer hopeless , and to commence a struggle when the best chanca of success were already gone Theyranged themselves in absolute hostility to the SS ^ ttQna ^ ta ; they obtained a majority in the SSwi ^ T ^ * eavoured , though nnsuc-SffSfc . *?? * 7 legislative enactmentsand in

    was not to govern by Parliaments under a monarchical form of government , but to effect a compro * misein the division of real power between pnnco and people . In the month of October , 1848 , the Democratic party , united as a majority at Berlin , voted TJnruh into * the chair as president , and Waldeck as vicepresident of the Assembly . Waldeck and Unruh , with Jacoby , Reichenbach , Semme , and others , were the leaders of the Royalist Democrats who would have accorded to the Krag of Prussia a con . stitutional pesition simihrto that of ourmonarchs . The king might have called them to power , they would have been supported by all German patriots , would have united tho nation and realised its liberties ; he chose a different course , and turned out the National Assembly by military force .

    Thu 3 the King of Prussia himself converted Royalists into Republicans , and Constitutionalists into Democrats , and ranged against the existence of his house a majority of three-fourths of the constituencies of the kingdom . The first electoral law of Prussia under the revolution had been that of equal and universal suffrage , a new electoral law , conferring unequal votes on different classes of the population , was now octroyed in the old form of a Cabinets ordre . The Democratic party , under the advice of their committee , abstained from voting ; but they published the number of electors , thus abstaining from the vote in every part of the kingdom , and proved that they amounted to threefourths of the population . The new Assembly was elected by the court party and tho Constitutionalists alone , and was called the Minority ' s Chamber ( Minoriiits-Kammer ) .

    The tale of Prussia , repeated with more cruelty , more bloodshed , and more reckless perfidy , is essentially that of Austria . Throughout all Germany the effect is tho same ; the revolution of 1849 , and tho perfidy of the reigning houses has created and organised one great national democratic party ; Germany has played its part in the great revolutionary game which was to resolve Europe into two great camps—Cossack and Republican . It may be well to name some of the leading men of the German Democratic party at Frankfort , in Baden , and Saxony . In the Frankfort Assembly the leading Democrats were , Blum ( shot at Vienna ) , Ruge , Trutz . scliler ( shot ) , L . Simon von Tr&ves , Loewe von Cahe , II . Simon von Breslau , Voigt , and Raveaux . The three last were elected to an executive committee of all Germany by the short-lived parliament at at Stuttgardt .

    At the head of the Badish insurrection were—Hecker , Struve , Blind , Brentaux , Goegg , and otbett . The leaders of the insurrection in Saxony were —Ileubner ( since imprisoned ) , Todt , Zschirner , and Bakuinne ( a Russian emigrant , since imprisoned ) . The Prussian opposition has the advantage of not being banished from the country . Constitutionalists are now , " as a popular party , no more ; Royalist Democrats have surrendered their hopes of teaching real constitutionalism to Prussia ' s king , and are merged in the great Republican or Ami-Royalist Democratic party . The popular hopes which centered in Prussia are disappearing ; she is bound hand foot to the new Holv

    Alliance of the kings , and that new Holy Alliance is no longer a union of independent monarchs for a common political object , but it is a league dominated and guided by the immense powers , the obstinate traditional policy of aggrandisement , and the secret and corrupt machinations of Russia . In Germany the people have become Republicans ; the monarchs , whether they will or no , are being drawn within the toils of the Cossack . To keep down their subjects , whom they have converted into their enemies , they have armed the ^ people against the people . But they are on the horns of a dilemma ; they cannot permanently keep up their

    enormous armaments , if they attempt it they hasten the period of a recommencement of revolution ; if they disband their armies , they distribute amongst the masses of the people a disciplined and military and really hostile population , which it was most easy to control by keeping it under the discipline of army regulation . The Badish , the Hessian , the Hungarian , and even the Prussian and Austrian army , have their martyrs on the battle-field and the scaffold , and are penetrated by the influences and by the spirit of 1848 . The former appear themselves to dread the results of a defensive policy , and to be uneasily anxious to engage in some armed action , or some aggressive policy . Instead

    of the juvenile organisation of German Democracy in 1848 , it is now united in its objects ; it possessos chiefs of political experience and tried character ; and it comprehends three-fourths of the nation . It is agreed in desiring the unity of the nation , and the destruction of the ruling dynasties . It is agreed in seeking to realise the sovereignty of the people , by the re-establishment of Universal Suffrage . Recognising the principle in this practical form , if it accomplished a revolution in Prussia , it would return to the National Assembly dismissed by the King by foree of arms , in 1848 ; if in Germany , it would revert to the Parliament dissolved m Stuttgardt , in 1842 , after tho failure of the 13 th of June at Paris .

    The political question , national unity , popular liberty , and the Republic , is the question in Germany—Social theories differ , and are the origin of differing schools , as in France ; with an instructed , a thinking , and a speculative and philosophizing people , it cannot be otherwise . But there is this great difference between the two countries , that Germany has thirty-iour princes to overthrow , the national unity to accomplish , and the Republic to obtain ; in fact , one stage of the political question to go through , before social theories can ; , become anything but a subordinate question in the public mind .

    The following appeared in our second edition of last week : —

    COMMITTAL OF MR . SLOANE . There-examination of Mr . Sloane was proceeded with on Friday , at Guildhall , before Mr . Alderman Humphrey . When Sloane arrived he was received with a shout of execration from those who were assembled outside . The officer had been unable to serve the warrant upon Mrs . Sloane . The first witness called was Eliza Randall , a nurse in the Royal Free Hospital , who deposed to the wounds and btuisea she found on tUe body of Jane Wilbred .

    Mr . T . Robissos , surgeon , gave similar evidence . He said she was &m weighed on tho 12 th of December , when she weighed only 60 lbs . ( Sensation . ) On the 19 th she was weighed again , andsheweighed 60 J lbs ., and on Thursday she weighed 73 J lbs . She appears to be naturally of a healthy constitution she had bruises on the lower part of her back , and there was a large bruise on her * right arm ; in three or four places the blood had been drawn , and scars had been formed . There were marks of vermin over her person . Some of the bruises were of recent date .

    Great sensation was manifested on the appearance , and during the examination of Jake Wilbred . The principal statement she made , in addition to her former evidence was , that she had been awoke out of her sleep at night by Mr . Sloane , Mrs . Sloane , and the young lady ; they made her get up in the night time . iu winter to clean the staira . ( Sensation . ) I had not all my clothes on . Mrs Sloane said she would not wait for me to put them all on . ( Sensation . ) After her examination she was removed to the magistrates' room , on reaching which she immediatel y fainted away , from the effects of the excitement of the scene . Mr . Robin-> on succeeded in restoring her without difficulty , and sho was re-conveyed to the hospital in a cab . It was agreed that the former amount of bail would be sufficient , but in consequence of one of his sureties being in Bristol , Sloane was remanded to the Compter for a week .

    After the proceedings terminated a cab was sent for , and an officer was sent down to the Compter , with instructions to the governor to have the door open and every thing prepared to afford defendant a ready reception on arriving there . The cab-door was opened , and Mr . Sloane ( who had only about three yards to go ) , accompanied by Springate , the gaoler , suddenly rushed out , and they were endeavouring to force their way into the cab , when the mob closed upon them , and had it not been for the aide exertions of Mr . Superintendent Hodgeson , Mr . Roe , and about a dozen constables , Mr . Sloane must have been torn to pieces by the exasperated mob . , 0 ne old woman was noticed in particular making most furious louneres at him with an im .

    mensc umbrella . Such was the violence of the mob that both the plate glass windows of the vehicle were smashed to atoms , and mud , spittle , and all kind ! of filth were showered upon him through both windows ; m less than two minutes he waB so bespattered , that it was next to impossible to discover which was the gaoler and which Mr . Sloane . About tweuty constables surrounded the cab , and the driver lashed his horse to try and escape the mob , but they impeded his way so mnch , that he was un > abie to proceed at any but a rapid walking pace After being safely lodged in the Compter the crowd loudly demanded that Mr . Sloane should be given up to them as often as any of the officers of the police were seen .

    60 UTHWARK . —A Hard Case . —An elderly man , named Gale , living in Saunders-street , in the pariah of Lambeth , applied for the magistrate ' s advice relative to his wife , who recently died in one of the Borough hospitals , and whose body , he being destitute , was unable to bury . —The applicant , who is seventy-four years of age , Btated that bis wife , who is one year older than himself , died in St . Thomas ' s Hospital a fortnight ago , and that he was made acquainted with the event , with directions at the same time to remove the body . He , however , owing to his poverty , having received relief from Lambeth parish , was unable to comply with the above directions , and he therefore called

    upon the parochial authorities , and explained to them that his wife was lying dead in the hospital , and applied to them either to bury the corpse , or to give him the means to enable him to do so . The parish officers , however , vcfused to help him in this emergency , and being afraid himself that the body of his poor wife , to whom he had been married upwards of half a century , would bo used for anatomical purposes , to which he had a strong repugnance ( the old man cried bitterly ) , if it was not brought speedily away from the hospital , he therefore called at this court , in order to have the magistrate ' s advice how to act upon an occasion which so concerned his peace of mind . He had applied at the Lambeth Police Court on tho subject , but was

    referred to this court for information how to act on the occasion . —Mr . Edwin , tho chief clork , said that the applicant ' s wife having been removed from Lambeth to the hospital in which she died , he was of opinion that the parish wasboudd to bury her , and not St . Wave's , in which parish the hospital is situated ; that it would be an enormous expense on the latter parish if they were compelled to bury those patients that died in that institution , and whose bodies were not owned by relations , or who were unable to pay for their interment . —Mr . a'Beckett said that the woman having died a fortnight ago , it was quite time that measures should be adopted for depositing the body in a grave by one or the other of the parishes mentioned , instead

    of permitting the old mau ' s feelings to be lacerated by the fear that the corpse would be disposed of in a very different way . The magistrate directed Guest , one of the summoning officers of the court , to proceed without loss of time to ascertain the cause of the refusal of the parish officers to have the body of the applicant ' s wife buried , in order that other steps might be taken if it was not speedily carried into effect . —The applicant , who expressed his gratitude for the magistrate ' s interference , then left the court with the officer for the above purpose . MANSIOX-HOUSE . —BEaaiNO Imposiers . —Two men , named Brown and Goldsmith , were brought before the Lord Mayor upon the charge of having attempted to impose upon a gentleman by a tale of fictitious distress . The complainant said the men walked into his counting-house , and

    Goldsmith , pointing to Brown , said the poor fellow waB suffering from a severe injury caused by a fall from a scaffold , and many persons connected with tho building trade were contributing to his support in consequence of his inability to work . Brown , who had hobbled into the counting-house , put on a look of misery corresponding with tho statement ; but the complainant had witnessed cases of imposition , and believing the present application to be of that character refused to give any contribution . " Only look over the list , " said tho pretended injured Brown , " and you will see the names of severa gentlemen whom you know . " "I see there are , " replied the complainant , " but I don't know that their writing is there , and I think more injury than good is done by giving money under these circumstances . Brown then made some insolent comments

    upon tbs illiberal treatment he had received , and both prisoners left the house , the lame one having , in the course of the short interview , completely recovered the use of his legs . Perceiving that the fellows were imposters of the most audacious description , the complainant followed and gave them both into custody . Goldsmith ( who had a clean white apron upon him , and a rule in his hand as if he had just left his business to recommend Brown to the notice of the humane ) made no resistanee , but tho would-be cripple made a resolute but ineffectual attempt te escape from the grasp of the policeman . —The Lord Mayor : Are these men known by our officers ? Horsford , one of the officers of the Mendicity Society , said he knew them both as most notorious imposters and cheats ; that Brown , whoso real name was Clare , belonged to

    tho Westminster gang , who were constantly practising upon the generous and unsuspecting ; and had not done a stroke of work for the last six years , and tbat Goldsmith generally accompanied him to detail the multitude of his grievances . Brown declared that he was really suffering from the consequences of a fall , as he had represented , and that he was willing to work . —Horsford : Where was the scaffold from which you fell ? Brown was struck silent by the question . Several officers proved that tbe prisoners had been for a series of years sturdy and well-fed beggars , and that they generally dined in coffee-houses at fashionable hours after they had done business . —The Lord Mayor said he should , at all events , prevent tho prisoners from pursuing their trade for some time , and sentenced each to be imprisoned for three months in Bridewell and to be kept at hard labour .

    GUILDHALL . —Have tour Coals Weighed . — Captain William Ray , coal and coke merchant , advertising aa of 30 , Robert-street , Hoxton , was summoned lor delivering forty sacks of coals of less than the legal weight to Messrs . Cuthbert , tallowmelters , of Paternoster-row . —The summons had been served at the nominal address of the defendant when it was found that Captain Ray did not live there , but only had his lettera directed at the house . —Mavy Fawkes , of 30 , Robert-street , Hoxton , said : I know nothing of Captain Ray . I received a Bummons against him , whioh is still lying at my houee . A short gentleman always calls for orders and letters directed to Captain Ray . SometimeB he calls twice a day . I have taken in

    letters for Captain Ray about twelve months , for which I was to have been paid a share of the profits in the way of commission , or a few coals now and then . I have had only one ton of coals from him . On Saturday last the short gentleman came and told me to discontinue taking orders . —Mr . Cuthbert said that in consequence of an advertisement that appeared in the Times , offering tho best Walla-End coals at 18 s . per ton , he was induced to send an order for four tons . They were delivered , and he continued for about six weeks to have four tons every week from Captain Ray , which were always promptly delivered : but on weighing the Backs it was found that out of forty sacks of coal only

    fourteen contained their full weight of 224 lbs . He then produced a list of the sacks as they were taken out of the waggon on delivery , which showed a deficiency in the four tons of coal of 7 cwt . 3 qrs . 91 ba ., or 4 J sacks out of 40 . —Alderman Lawrence said that there was no doubt but that some very extensive fraud was being carried on , and Mr . Cuthbert had rendered the public a very essential sorvioo in exposing Captain Ray and his coal company . He hoped that in the event of this appeanug in the papers Captain Ray would call at the court and oxplain the transaction , and also that the public would not allow themselves , for the sake of a few shillings , to be defrauded .

    MARLBOROUGH - STREET . — Indeceni Assadw . —Walter Greig , a tailor , living at No . 6 , South-row , Great Marlborough-street , was charged with having indecently assaulted Sarah Heath , his servant . The girl , who stated her age to be thirteen , said she went to live at the defendant ' s house about a week ago . On Christmas-day , after dinner , her mistress went out , leaving her in the house with the defendant . She had occasion to go into the parlour for some nuroose . when he laid hold

    of her , and placing her on his knee committed tho first assault , Being desirous to get away from him , 8 he told him her sister was outside , He called in her sister , who was younger than herself , gave her a penny , and then sent her home . As soon a 3 her sister was gone he repeated the assault , and complainant at last getting out of tbe room by an excuse , went home and told her parents of her master ' s conduot towards her . The defendant denied the charge , and the case was sent to the sessions for trial .

    Rodbino a Master . —William Locock was charged with stealing three JE 5 Bank of England notes , the property of Mr . Henry Renaud , proprietor of Limmers Hotel , Conduit-street , and Thomas Harpor and George Hawkins were charged with being parties to the offence . —Mr . Henry Renaud said the prisoner Locock had been employed as under porter for about sixteen months . On the 3 rd of September he gave the prisoner a letter directed to Miss Renaud , at the Belleyue Hotel , Bangor , and he told the prisoner to be careful of the letter , as it contained money . In the letter were three £ 5 Bank notes , the numbers of which he knew . The letter never reached its destination , and he then communicated with the police . The three notes were afterwards paid into the Bank of England . —Inspector Field , of the Detectives , said he took the prisoner into

    custody on the 23 rd of December last , teliin * him that he was charged with stealing a letter which contained three £ 5 Bank of England notes . Tho prisoner voluntarily said , " I'll tell you all about it . I broke open the letter , and I took the notes out . The next day I met Hawkins , who was living with a newsvender named Hutton , in Catherine street . I told Hawkins I had stolen some notes , and I asked him if he would get them changed for me . He said ho would , and I gave him two £ 5 notes , and he afterwards returned eight sovereign to me , keeping two for himself . I kept the other £ 5 note for some time , and then I gave it to Harper a cabman , to get changed . I only got 5 s . out of the third note .

Hard wick : — "Suy I take tho liberty of addressing you , as a magistrate and a gentleman , to inform you of my painful situation , and to implore your protection , and any assistance it may be in your power to afford me , until I am able to procure some situation to support myself by honest means . On the 15 th November I was induced to leave my father ' s house , Mr . Simmons , late clerk in the goods department , Derby Railway Station , with Mr . Louis Leopold de la Pessez , a young Spaniard , to whom I have been known for twelve yeaM , he promising to marry mo on my arrival in London . I fondly and foolishly relied on his honour ; and after living with him three days , he promised to marry me every day . Ho left me and have

    without any intimation , I never seen him since . 1 need hardly add he left me almost penniless , for all I had was 15 s . 6 d ., on which , and on the produce of the sale of my clothes , I have continued to live ever since . I am anxious to redeem my lost charact er and honour as far as 1 can . I have written to my father , but reoeived no answer . I have broug ht this letter myself , and wait tho honour of seeing you , if it should be your pleasure , and to answer what questions you may think proper to ask me . —' - I have the honour to be , sir , your humble servant , —M . A . Simmons . "—Mr , Hardwick asked the young woman if the letter was her own writing . —The applicant replied that it was . She had been induced to take this step from having seen in tho papers that assistance was occasiona lly granted to persons in her unfortunate nosition . —To questions , tho applicant replied that

    the young gentleman with whom sho came to London , was in the Roman catholic college at Derby , kept by an Irish Roman catholic priest named Sing . She lived at Derby with her friends , and this afforded the young gentleman an opportunity of keeping up the acquaintance with her . ; She | was most anxious to get a situation abroad if possible to hide her shame andto retrieve her character . At present , however , she was wholly destitute of the means of even paying for a night ' s lodging . —Mr . Hardwick at first thought of sending the young woman to the Ilouse of Charity in Rose-street for a short time , but at the applicant's request consented to give the means of sending her to Derby , where she had relations living , —The applicant expressed herself very grateful for this seasonable assistance , and left the court in charge of an officer to mako the requisite arrangements .

    Assault . —William Wallace was placed at the bar before Mr . Bingham , charged with being drunk , begging , and assaulting Daniels , one of the constables beloning to the Mendicity Society . —The officer stated that , about nine o'clock on Wednesday night , he was in Regent-Street , when he saw the prisoner go up to several gentlemen and ask for money . Knowing him to bo a most determined beggar witness took him into custody , and on his way to the station-house the prisoner kicked him violently about the legs . —Horsford said the prisoner had been convicted no less than six times for begging and assaulting the Society's officers . —The prisoner , who denied tho charge , was committed to the House of Correction for three months , with hard labour .
