lion , member had quoted Mr . Mayne in support of the assertion that the present law on Sunday trading was a dead letter ; but ho ought to have stated tbat Mr . Mayne had expressed an opinion that any other Jaw on the subject would be equally inoperative—that a great improvement had taken place in the observance of Sunday , and that the stringent enforcement of such a bill as the present would retard that improvement . In fact , the bill would not touch some of the most glaring desecrations of the and would
aunoay , giro a sanction to many practices which were not in strict conformity with the -aw . liis own opinion was that the question was one which ought to be left to the good feeling of the people , and that every person in his sphere Ought to set the example of refraining from purchases on that day . lie concurred with those hon . members who had asked for the withdrawal of the bil ' , but he could not join in the recommendation that it should be a » ain introduced next year . ( Cheers . )
Sir B . Hail said that as one of the metropolitan members , he heartily joined in the request for the withdrawal of the measure . He altogether objected to the desire which had been manifested of late years to legislate specially for the metropolitan districts OD this question . Any bill on the subject should be for the empire at large , or for that partionlar district of the metropolis which desired such legislation . lie would recommend the hon . member to withdraw the bill , and as he believed it had only been brought forward by the hon . member in consequence of an election promise , he would recommend him , iu order to test the sincerity of the promoters of it , to subjeot it as a private bill to the ordeal of a committee . The bill would extend to the lowest tradesman in the 2 few-cut . But any
measure on the subject of Sunday observance should apply not merely to poor tradesmen but to persons in higher ranks . A friend had mentioned to liim a glaring case of what some would call Sabbath desecration . Bis friend , passing through one of tie most fashionable squares on a Sunday , saw a britzskaatthodoorof one of the mansions , with fine horses , a well-dressed coachman and footman , and wishing to see the lady whom he imagined was about to step into the carriage , he stepped , but was greatly mortified at seeing two dogs brought oura Biag Charles spaniel and a Newfoundland—and ¦ whieh , having taken their place in the carriage , ¦ were driven to Hyde Park for amusement . The bill ? reu ! d not touch a case of that kind , and was a mosi partial measure .
Mr . nixittET saw no chance , if the present bill was withdrawn , of carrying a similar measure at any future period , and hoped the hon . member would not withdra w it . The right hon . baronet opposite had declared that the difficulties were inherent in the subject itself , and if that were so the bouse ought to reject the bill . He believed the time * as at hand when the observance of the Sunday would be made a hustings question , and when no metropolitan member would dare to ask another hon . member to withdraw a measure like the present . He supported the bill on the principle of giving to tradesmen the liberty of that one day in sever ., of which they were now deprived . -
Mv . T . DnscoMBc was not ignorant that the hon . xnepiber for Ashton had been a dabbler in Sunday legislation . ( A laugh . ) For his own part , ever since the days of Sir Andrew Agnew , he had opposed this contemptible legislation . ( Cheers . ) The hon . member fpr Ashton had told them that this would he a hustings question , and that be—he ( the memtet for Ashton )—( a laugh ) --wouldundertake to say that tio metropolitan constituency would accept a candidate who was opposed to this bill . Jfow he bad opposed bills of this sort , and had been elected after having opposed them . . He denied that the working Classt-s were in favour of the bill . They were aC most to a man opposed to it . He bad been waited on by a deputation from the order of " Old
Tneuds , ' a society composed of the workin « Classes , and numbering about 40 , 000 members , and he was told by the deputation that not twenty of their society were in favour of the bill . Some awkward questions had been put to the hon . niemter fcr Lambeth on this subject at a meeting which he had attended of the working classes at Cowperstreet , St . Luke ' B , and at which the hon . member told the meeting that they had thrown a new light upon the subject . His hon . colleague had backed out of the bill in conseqeenco of the representations made to Mm . and both he and tho hon . member were ds
sorting masses received their wages so late on Saturday : ) j « hc that it was impossible for them to lay in a stock of provisions till the following day . If the question was one which ought to be entertained , the government ought to take it in hand ; but not only the right hon . baronet opposite , but also the right hon . baronet the member for Itipon , had confessed that legislation on the subject was impracticable , and that they must trust for the observance of the Sunday to the good feeling of the people . And the example of the rich . He should rote , ss he had always done for the last twenty-six years , against such legislation as the present . Mr . Alcock would divide with the hon . member for Lambeth if he went to a division , but at the same t > - « would advise him to withdraw the bill .
Mr w * -, lum 3 rose to make some remarks , but tras 1 : lom -d he was out of order . The iivuse then divided—For the motion ... 42 Against it , 77 Majority against the motion ... - _ 35 Tfe remainder of the day was occupied in cemffiiitee on the Landlord and Tenant Bill . THURSDAY , Jekk 19 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —In the Honse of Lords , on , Thursday night , a few bills were advanced a stage , without exciting any discussion of interest , and iasir lordshi ps adjourned at an early hour , until Monday next . -
HOUSE OF COMMOXS .-At the noon sitting of the House of Commons , on the motion , for going into committee on the Smithfield Market Removal Bill , ( the government bill , ) Sir J . Diivs moved that the bill be committed that-day six months . He objected to the monopoly -whicli the bill would place in the hands of the government , "who bad not told the metropolitan public what they had a right to demand , either the ate of the proposed new market , or the names of the commissioners into whose discretion its selection and construction was to be committed . Since the measure left the select committee , moreover , the schedule of fees had been increased to nearly doable their present amount .
Sir . G . Gbey stated that the site for the new market was not yet fixed , neither were the commissioners nominated , even tn prospeelu . The practical execution of the bill would , indeed , be left almost entirely in the charge of the City of London . A prolonged and miscellaneous discussion ensned , ¦ when _ the house divided , and the amendment was negatived by a majority of sixty-four to twenty-six —thirty-eight . The house thea -went into committee , and the several clauses of the bill were passed , several amendments upon the details having been discussed and negatived on a division . On resuming , the house adjourned for two hours . The sitting was resumed at ais o'clock .
Mr . Hotwoob moved that the house ahonW resolve itself into committee , to consider the religious tests imposed either by the authority of the crows or by act of parliament as qualifications for any privilege in Oxford , Cambridge , or Dnblin University . The motion waB seconded by Mr . Ewabt , and Opposed by Mr . Cakpbeu . Lord J . RnsaELii narrated the progress that had already been made towards relaxing the tests interposed between various sects , and the privilege !
attached to the Universities . In Cambridge no religious qualifications were required for the enjoyment of the opportunities of education there pro-Tided , and the attainment of an honorary degree farther than this , he did not think that concession Could properly be made , and he therefore declined to consent to the motion forgoing into committee 00 the subject . Mr . Milsbr Gibsos contended that Dissenters ought not to be deprived of any privilege , which the members of the Church were entitled to enjoy . The hon . member was proceeding when the house Tras counted out , at half-past seven .

P 0 L 7 TECHMC INSTITUTION . On Tuesday the chemical professor at the abovenamed establishment , Mr . Pepper , commenced a course of lectures " On tho Minerals and Crystals at the Great Exhibition . " lie commenced his lecture by describing the valuable gems , the diamond , the ruby , and pearl ; lie stated that considering these represented the most beautiful creations of the mineral kingdom , it could be no more a matter of surprise when people sought after them than visiting a rare collection of animals or flowers . To illustrate his leoture numerous diamonds , rubies , and other precious stones weru exhibited , kindly lent by Messrs . Huutantl Rosketi Bond-streetand
, , other jewellers ; copies of the great diamonds , by Professor Tennant , were all shown to great advantage by the oxy-hydrogen light ; he demonstrated in the most decided manner , and proved , that those shown in the Great Exhibition by day-light could not be appreciated . The lecturer then proceeded to toll his audience that the most brilliant diamond was nothing but charcoal ; the moat perfect ruby was alumina , the chief characteristic of clay ; and the most lovely pearl littte more than cualk and white of egg , or albumen . The lecture was highly instructive turoughoufc , and the audience appeared greatly pleased by the learned professor ' s description of his subject .
COSMORAMA . —PRINCE OF WALES'S BAZAAR , REGENT STREET . This elegant building is well worthy the attention of our friends who may Visit town during the Exhibition season . Tho fancy articles , for sale , are of the most varied and elaborate description ; and the Picture Gallery contains many excellent paintings by the old masters . In tho Cosmorama are several well-known scenes , such as Mount St . Bernard , Mount Blanc , Interior of St . Paul ' s Cathedral at Rome , the Pleasure Grounds at Versailles , &c ., Ssc . These paintings are cleverly executed , and possess a life-like appearance . Tho most interesting and novel picture , however , is the Great Fireat Edinburgh . The city is partially lighted by the moon , while the fire , which rages in tho centre , throws its lurid
glare upon the surrounding objects , the most prominent of which is the Tolbootb . The dioramic effect of this scene is awfully grand . ISow the destroying element rages fiercely -the flames , sparks , and smoke rise higher and higher , ami the conflagration may be presumed to be at its height—the church spire , the walls , roofs , and chimnies are illumined , and the light of the moon is eclipsed by the fiery glow . Anon , the flames gradually decline , the reflection of the fire as gradually leaves the objects before alluded to , and the moon again resumes her placid reign . Indeed , the slightest flicker of the flame has its proper effect of li ght and shadow upon the whole scene . The Bazaar and Picture Gallery are open free to the public , and the Cosmorama is well worth the price of
admission . QUEEN'S THEATRE . A very interesting melodrama , called the Nigh Shriek ; or , a Tale of Convict Life , has been produced at this theatre for the holidays , in which Miss Cooke , a young actress of great pvotnise , personates the heroine . She possesses a good figure , excellent voice , clear enunciation , and considerable skill , and , with care and perseverance , might become a firstrate artiste . The principal parts were well sustamed by Messrs . Green , Chester , and Burford , and the piece gave evident satisfaction to the audience . A new ballet , entitled the Fair ifaid of Switzerland , followed , in which the charming danseusc , Miss Kate Kirby , made her appearance . She was ably supported by Mr . Bigwood and Miss C . Gib-Bon . The performances concluded with The Dogs of Hie Grange , in which Mr ; Smith , and his celebrated dogs , Hofer and Bruin appeared .
HATMARKET THEATRE . The new comic opera produced on Wednesday night , called The Cadi ; or , Amours amonq Moors , \ 9 a version of Ambroise Thomas ' s opera U Caid , which has had great popularity for these two seasons past at the Opera Comique . Soon after its production at Paris this opera was performed with some success by Mr . Mitchell ' s French company at the St . James ' Theatre . It is a piece of sheer buffoonery , without a vestige of serious interest ; but , Us very extravagance is amusing , and there are some capital burlesques on the bravura singing , and the conventional passion , of the Grand Opera . Both in its fun and in its burlesque it is essentially French ; neither the one nor the other can be folly enjoyed by an English audience . This was felt to a considerable extent when the piece was performed in its original dress ; and is much more so now , when it is performed in an English version , and by English actors .
The scene is laid in an Algerine village , where a Parisian hairdresser is established in trade , and Mdlle . Virginie , a grisette , carrieB on business as a miliner . A French drum-major quartered there , a dashing impudent fellow , has contrived to make love to the Cadi ' s daughter . M . Birolieau , tbe coiffeur , seeks to make his fortune by selling a pretended secret to the Cadi , who proposes to pay him by giving him his daughter in marriage ; an arrangement to which the hairdresser , though engaged to marry Mdlle . "Virginie , makes no objection , as in that country he can make the young lady his wife number two . This transaction makes the imbroglio of the piece . The grisette is furious when she hears that her faithless lover is coin * to marrv
the Uadi s daughter—that damsel is dhotle at losing her dram-major—tbe drum-major determines to cut the throat of his rival the coiffeur—and the stolid Cadi is in a state of mystification . All this gives nse to scenes ( as we have said ) of burlesque passion , comic on the French stage , but spoiled on Wednesday night because our actors , mistaking tbe character of the piece , thought it necessary to be in earnest ; all but Miss Louisa Pyne , who played the little gnsette witha gaiety and lightness entirely Parisian , and sang the florid music of the part in a manner that could not have been surpassed bv the roisianol
of tbe Opera Comique , Madame Ugalde herself . The music is , altogether , exceedingly pretty . It is very much in the Btyle of Auber—melodious , sparkling , and full of vivacity ; simple and free from elaboration , bnt at the same time ingenious and masterly . Some of the concerted pieces are highh dramatic , and the instrumentation ib delicate and skilful . It was carefully and correctly performed the principal singers being Mr . Donald King , Mr Weiss , Miss L . Payne , and Miss Harriet Cawse ! Mr . Caulfield was very good in the part of a drunken domestic The reception of the piece was favourable , but by no means enthusiastic .

LAMBETH . —Derby-da * Amubbmestb . —Charles James Preedy and George Thomas Preedy , two beardless youths , the sons of a surgeon residing in the vicinity of Gray ' s-inn-road , appeared before Mr . Elliott , to answer to a charge of assaulting Mr . Henry Dobson , a coaehmaker and livery stablo keeper in Goswell-atreefc , by throwing bags of flouv and injuring his clothes on the Derby-day . —From the statement of Mr . Wontner , and the testimony of several witnesses , it appeared that Mr . Dobson , while proceeding with two friends in a phaeton to the Epsom race course on the Derby-day , passed one of Grainger ' s pleasure vans the otker side of Tootinf . Mr . Dobson having on an outside coat of
somewhat oonspicuous appearance , the defendants , one of whom was sitting alongside Mr . Grainger , the driver of the van , and the other on the roof of / . he vehicle , commenced chaffing him about hie " Moses'duffer ; " and not content with this , began to throw pellets of flour at them , until Mr . Dobson and his friends were completely smothered in flour . Enraged at their conduct , Mr . Dobson got out of his phaeton , and , laying hold of the defendant Charles by the coat , he endeavoured to drag him off the box . He did not , however , succeed , and in his effort he tore his coat and trousers . A number of tbe persons inside the van then got out , of the vehicle , and , with the defendant George , made a fierce attack upon the complainant , so that the
consequences might have been very serious to the latter had ko not been assisted by some gentlemen to whom he had appealed for protection . As it was , however , he got very roughly handled , was struck on the face with a stick by one of the defendants , who tore away a portion of the front of his trousers ; so that , with his clothes covered with flour , he presented a most ridiculous appearance , and his pleasure was destroyed for the day . Mr . Dobson bad some knowledge of the defendants from their having some time age brought an old ohaise to bis place , which they wished him to exchange for a better one , but he should have remained in perfect
ignorance of their names and addresses had not one of them instructed' an attorney to bring an action against him in one of tbe superior courts at Westminster for tho injury done to his clothes . —Mr , Cooper called a number of witnesses , whose evidence differed considerably from that given on the part of the complainant . —Mr : Elliott' remarked that it was quite clear that the defendants were the first aggressors , and convicted them In a penalty of 40 s . each , or in default of j-ayment to fourteen days ' imprisonment . —The father of the defendants said that bo scandalous had been the conduct of the complainant that he should not pay a shilling of the penalty ; and the youths were sent to prison .
The Eoo Throwing on the Oaks Day . —Mr . Henry Fraser Dimsdale , the son of Baron Dimsdale , was brought up in custody by Adam Saunders , one of the summoning officers belonging to the court , on a warrant , charging him with assaulting Mr . Jarman and others , by pelting them with eggs and other missiles , on their return from Epsom on the Oaks day . Saunders deposed that' he heldja warrant for some days for tho apprehension of Messrs . Henry and Thomas' Dimsdale and Captain Williams , but up to Wednesday morning he had not succeeded in finding either of the parties . Information had readied him on that morning that Mr . Henry Dimsdale was about to appear at the Court of Queen ' s Bench , Westminster , as a witness in a case set down for trial ; he attended there and after some delay succeeded in finding Mr . Dimsdale in a coffee-room of a tavern in the vicinity of Pal ; ice-yurd . On seeing him he asked the gentleman
if his name was not Mr . Henry Dimsdale , and he at once replied that it was , and he then told him he held a warrant for his apprehension , on a charge of assaulting Mr . Jarman and others , by throwing eggs at them on the Oaks day . Mr . Dimsdale did not make any reply , and he took him in a cab to the court . —The solicitor who attended for Mr . Dimsdale , but whose name did not transpire , begged to assure the magistrate that his client , Mr . Dimsdale , had not kept out of the way from any wish to evade the law in this case , hut had left England on business of a private nature before any complaint had been made , and only learned the fact of the complaint through the columns of the newspapers . —The prisoner entered into his own recognisances for £ 40 , and Mr . Henry Frederick Holt , cf Charing-cross , solicitor , and Mr . Appleyard , of Lincolu ' s-inn-square , solicitor , in £ 30 each , when the prisoner was liberated .
Charge or Bigamy . —Mr . Wm . Gordon , a middie-aged man of clerical appearance , who was described ou tho police sheet as a scripture reader , " was placed at the bar on a charge of bigamy iu intermarrying with Miss Mary Eliza Peters , the daughter of a hi ghly respectable tradesman , his former wife , Susan Sussex Gordon , being still alive . —From the certificates put in and the evidence adduced it appeared tbat in the month of July , 1841 , the prisoner bad been married to his first wife at the parish church of Horthen , in Devonshire , and tbe issue of that marriage was two children . On the 19 th August last , having previously paid his
addresses to Miss Peters as a single man , he was married to that lady at the parish ohurch of St . Ann , Wesrainster . Some circumstances had recently ocourred to lead Mr . Peters to believe that the former wife of the prisoner was living ; he caused an inquiry to be set on foot , the result of which was a confirmation of his suspicion , and he in consequence applied for and obtained a warrant against the accused . —The prisoner ' s defence was that he had been completely drawn into the first marriage at a time when he was perfectly unconscious of what he did , and , therefore , ho did not consider the ceremony a legal one . —He was remanded for the attendance of the necessary
witnesses . WESTMINSTER . —Daring Shop Robbebt .-William Smith was finally examined before Mr . Burrell on a charge of stealing a gold watch and silver watch from the shop window of Mr . James Courtney , 16 , Lower Eaton-street , Pimlico , pawnbroker . On the 14 th inst ., about half past nine in tbe morning , James Wiskard , the shopman , saw the prisoner shave his e'bow threw a pane of glass , and take the two watches , whioh were suspended . He dropped the silver one on the pavement as-ho was being taken . —Committed for trial at the Mid dieses Sessions .
WORSHIP-STREET .-Desperatb Encounter with Burglars . —Michael Butler , who has been repeatedly in custody upon charges of burglary and highway robbery , was placed at tbe bar before Mr . Tyrwhitt , charged with having been concerned with another man not in custody , in breaking into the premises of Mr . Henry B iteman , a wheelwright in Holy well-lane , Shoreditch , and also with having assaulted and wounded the prosecutor , with intent to murder him . It appeared from the evidence of Mr . Bateman , that between twelve and one o'clock
on the night of Friday , tbe 15 th of February last , he returned home from the house of a friend with whom he had spent the evening , and found that the outer gates leading into hia yard were closed and locked as he had left them , but on crossing over to the side entrance of his dwelling-house he observed tbat the door was partly opened , and heard a low whispering of men s voices inside . He immediately closed the door and retreated underneath the window of the bedroom in which his brother slept , to whom he wa 3 calling loudly by name , when two men suddenly rushed out upon him through the street door , one of whom ^ dealt him a violent blow on the head with a lifc-preBmer , which caused him to stagger back , and before he could recover himself the Other attempted to knock him down with
the butt-end of a horse pistol . Witness instantly oloaed with , the foremost of his assailants , and a desperate struggle ensued between them , in the course of which the other man kept beating him incessantly over the head with the life-preserver inflicting several severe wounds , from which the blood poured down his face and person , but he still pertinaoiously retained his bold of tho first man and while grappling with him they both rolled over and tell into an adjoining horaepond . The struffele was there resumed between them , and after recemng repeated blows from the pistol , which almost deprived htm of consciousness , he at length succeeded in wresting it from his aseailant and two or threo policemen having now made their an ?

The office ™ m ™ found a '' jemmy » or crowbar l ^ ing in thfneSbourhood of the same spot , and tho skirt of one of the burglars coats , which he had torn off duriiur the contest between them , and tho romainder ot which coat was afterwards picked up in the tt . m » i

at the station house , he and other constables had been ever since engaged in searching for the prisoner , but unsuccessfully until last Saturday evening , when he succeeded in tracing him to a public-house in Boot-street , SpitaltieMa , and after a desperate resistance took him into custody . With the assistance of another officer he forced him on for somo distance in the direction of the station bouse , when the prisoner after another strenuous effort to escape suddenly asked him what good it could do him to
" settle" him , and offered to present him with £ 10 , if he would consent to" square'' it . —The prisoner was recognised by several constables in attendance' as having been repeatedly in custody for hig hway robbery and other serious offences , and it was stated by Movrell , an aotive detective officer of the N division , that tho prisoner had been no less than four times convicted , and sentenced upon one ot those ocoasions to seven years' transportation , but that it was afterwards commuted to a twelvemouths' imprisonment . —Remanded ,
Forobrt . —Mary Johnson , an elegantly attired young woman , of considerable personal attractions , was placed at the bar before Mr . Hammill , charged with haviDg obtained the sum of . 631 , by means cf forged promissory notes , from Mr . Frank Senior , chemist and druggist , carrying on business in the Queen ' s Road , Dalston . —The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been a frequent customer at his shop for sometime past , and resided with a family of great respectability at Pemberton Cottages , in bis immediate neighbourhood On the 28 tb . ult . the prisoner called upon him , and producing a promissory note for £ 6 , purporting to be drawn in her favour by Messrs . Blackwood , the publishers , and made payable at the banking house
of Messrs Child and Co ., requested him to accommodate her with cash for tbe amount . The prisoner at the same time intimated that she had received it direct from Messrs . Blackwood , as a remuneration for some literary productions whidi she had furnished for their Magazine . Witness , thereupon , cashed it for her , and about two days after she as ; ain called with a similar promissory note for £ 20 , which he was likewise induced to discount upon the faith of the same representations . On the 3 rd inst . the prisoner brought'him a third promissory note ior £ 40 , which shealao wished him to cash ; but suspecting from the frequency of her visits that there might bo something doubtful about the security of the transaction , he objected to . cash
the note , but consented to advance her £ 5 upon it , which the prisoner accepted , and immediately after she had left despatched a messenger to make inquiries at the banking-house , where it was ascertained that Messrs . Blackwood kept no account at that establishment . On communicating the result to the prisoner , she expressed herself in strong terms of indignation against MesBra . Blaokwood for their remiasness in not lodging the amount of the notes where they were made payable , and begged him to wait a few days until the eecond one came due , when she would call and discharge them both . He consented to do so , but in the interval made such inquiries as satisfied him that they were forgeries , and therefore sent for the prisoner , and unon
communicating to her what he had ascertained , she again assured him they were genuine , and invited him to proceed with her to the residence of Sir G . Armytage , in Cambridge-square , Hyde-park , whom she designated as her cousin , and that the matter would be speedily and satisfactorily arranged . Ho accordingly accompanied her there in a cab , from which the prisoner alighted at the house , and after remaining a considerable time inside again joined him , and , without entering into the particulars of her visit , directed the cabman to drive to tbe residence of Lord Tilliers , in Charles-street , Berkeleysquare . Having been informed by the porter on their arrival there that his lordship was not at home , the prisoner desired' to bo conveyed to the
house of Mr . Mackenzie , a solicitor , in River-terrace , Islington , with whom she also had an interview , leaving witness in the cab , and on coming out told him she had been advised by her solicitor to proceed at once to Leamington to procure the money , and requested further indulgence , but witness refused to part with her , and ultimately gave her into custody . —Tho prisoner , who listened to the evidence with an air of coolness and perfect self-possession , declined putting any question to tho witnesses , and made no observations in answer to the charge . —Mr . Hammill intimated his intention to send the case before ajury , and ordered the prisoner to be remanded for the formal completion of the depositions .
MARYLEBONE .-A « Q temxuu . " - A tall well-dressed person , of military appearance , who gave his name John Francis Bigge , and said that he resided at No . 62 , Queen-street , Edgeware-road , was oharged with an assault upon Sir George Armytage , Bart ., 27 , Cambridge-square , Hyde-park . —Complainant . said at two on Monday afternoon , as I was walking with Lady Arraytago and Miss Morgan , in the Edgeware-road , we met defendant , who immediately turned round and spat right in my face , saying , "I have done it , and here ' s my oard , " at the same time handing his card to me . A policeman , who was close by , took him in charge at my desire , and at the station-house he wished to make me an apology , but I objected to accent one
from him . He stated that there was a banditti in Loudon who were constantl y insulting him , and he had recently done the same thing to a Frenchman which he did to me to-day . —Miss Morgan and tbe police having corroborated this evidence , Defendant said : I was returning from a short walk when some gentlemen made an insulting sign to me . I passed on , and was going towards my home , when , at the corner of Burwood-place , I saw the complainant and two ladies walking together . Complainant made to me a similarly insulting sign . I turned round to him , when he gave me a most insolent look , upon which I went forward and spat in . his face . I thought he intended to challenge me , and I therefore gave him my oard . I did it l
merey as an example , to show him that he should not do such a thing again . I think , however , that it must have been a mal-tntendu , since Sir George states that he never saw me before . He is a gentleman , and I am a gentleman also . —Mr . Broughton You surely don ' t mean to say that what you aro charged with was the act of a gentleman . —Defendant : I don't know . The Count Rossi , and others havo done the same thtng , -Mr . Broughton ( to complainat ) : Did you make any sign whatever to the defendant when you met him ?—Complainant None , sir , whatever—Defendant ( much excited ) At the station I expressed my sorrow at what had taken place , and offered what I thought was all that was neoossary , but he ( complainant ) said he would not be satisfied with an apology . —Complainant : Defendant admits that he spat
inaFrenohman s faoe , a few days before he committed the same act towards me , and I consider that upon public grounds I am right in bringing this case forward . —Mr . Broughton ( to defendant ) : I can look upon your conduct in no other light than that of a most gross outrage upon the complainant , and that it was of such a nature tbat he could not as a gentleman , pass It over simply by an apolocy such as you offered at the station-house to wake .-Defendant : 1 protest , sir , against your view of the mavttr .-Mr . Broughton , who had been interrupted while making his observations , sentenced defendant to pay £ 3 , or to be imprisoned six weeks m addition to which he was ordered to enter into his own recognisances in £ 50 , for his keeping the peace towards Sir George Armytage for two months .
Attempted Assassination . —Thomas Trevett a broker , living at Kent Cottage , Charles-la ' ne , Portland-town , was brought before Mr . Broughton upon tho charge of drunkenness disorderly conduct and assault ; and also with the very serious offence of having attempted to stab a police constable with a bayonet . -Holland , a policeman , said : On Tuesday evening , at about eight o ' clock I saw a large mob assembled in Charles-street and on going to see what was the matter , I found the prisoner in the midst of the crowd , stripped to his shirt . He was extremely noisy , and swore he would fight anybody ; and knowing that he lived near at hand , I desired him to go quietl y home but he swore he woulo d p nothing of the sort . I'fi d hold of him , and havmg led him to his house , pit Murder , and I endeavoured at once to make mv

At last some one opened it and I entered , when I found the prisoner standing on some bricks in the yard , with a bayonet in his hand , nnd on his seeing me he threatened to kill mo if I approached . I dared him to come down , upon which he threw at me a wooden spout , and jumping from the heap of bricks , upon which ho had placed himself , ho made a desperate tbruBfc at my head with his bayonet , but fortunately by dodging on one sldo I prevented him from doing mo injury . I closed with him , when a violent struggle took place between us , and at that period some other officers came to my assistance . Prisoner was then , after offering all the resistance in his power , conveyed to the station-house and locked up . —Thomas
Kerslako , a labourer : I follo wed the police into the house , imagining from the screams I hoard murder wa 3 being " committed j and I am satisfied that Holland would have been dangerously wounded , and perhaps killed , if I had not rushed upon the prisoner , and wrested the bayonet from his grasp just iis . ho was o third time making a stab . It was further stated , that while the prisoner was locked up in a cell at tbe station ho mnde attempts to commit suicide , once by stuffing his socks down hia throat , and twice by thrusting his head into the water closet . . He swore that if he had but a knifvs in his possession it should find its way to his heart ; and so determined did ho appear to be upon self-destruction , that it was considered necessavv for two officers to bo in close watch upon him throughout the night . The prisoner ,-who said he had no defence to offer , was sent . to hard labour in the House ot Correction for two months , being one month for each of the two assaults ; nnd Insueor ™ Cbampneys was told that at the expiration R I tune alluded to tho prisoner might bo proceeded

MARLROROUGH-STREET . —ROBBBwr . — 'William Garner , a boy , was charged with stealing three or four small bits of sugared chocolate , the property of Thomas Gatti . The prosecutor said he had a machine at work showing the process of manufacturing chocolate . The boy was employed
to clean the machinery . Several parcels of chocolate had lately been stolen , and no doubt the theft had been committed by the prisoner . The value of the chocolate was not the consideration—but tbe mischief that had already been done .

A quantity was prepared , but when her Majesty came to inspect it the butter was nowhere to be found . —Mr . Hardwick sent the boy to prison for ton days .

I did so , and lost all my money . They then persuaded me to pledge my watch , the proceeds of which they procured in a similar way . I was then left without a penny in my pocket , and without even the means of securing a night's lodging . I afterwards thought of a Mr . Lewis whom I knew , ami accordingly drew a check in his name for £ 16 on the London and Westminster Bank . Having succeeded in getting the money , I started for Somersetshire again , but when I got as far as Slough , near Windsor , it struck me that I might go back and get more money . With this view I stopped at the Slough station and asked the porter for a
piece of paper , and wrote out a cheque for £ 73 in Mr . Lewis ' s name and on the same bank . I returned to London , presented tbe cheque , and obtained its pretended value . I have spent all the money with the exception of a few pounds in riding about the country . " The remainder is in the coal cellnr . " The offijer found in the place indicated £ 10 7 s lOd . —Mr .

Action for Libel againsi the Pdbushkrs op "Posch . "—A rule having been granted by tbe Bail Court a few days ago , against Messrs . Bradbury and EvanB , the printers and publishers of Pimch . Mr . Baddeley moved , on Monday , that the rule be made absolute . Mr . Wells appeared to show cause agahwt the rule . From Ms statement it appeared that a dinner took place' in Galway on the 17 th of March last , at which the Rev . Peter Daly presided as chairman . There were about sixty persons present . In the eourse of the evening one of the toasts given was that of " The Press when an individual of the name of Blake responded to it , and used language of an extraordinary kind . The language as set forth in the affidavit was this " He proposed that there should be selected 100
men like himself;—that forty should be sent to Liverpool , thirty to Bristol , and thirty to Portsmouth , who upon a certain day should set fire to and burn the English fleet , and so destroy her Majesty s government . " This language was uttered in the presence of the reverend gentleman who it appeared indi gnantly protested against the nse of such language . Mr . Blake was silenced on that occasion , partly in consequence of the protest of the 1 reverend gentleman and partly on account of the prote-t of the other persons present ; and the festivities of the evening went pn . By an unfortunate mistake this language was attributed to the reverend gentleman inBteau of to Mr . Blake . A . satisfactory apology , however , was made by the representatives of furick , and further proceedings were stayed .
Firii IIuxoariin Rifugkbs left Southampton on Wednesday for Portsmouth , to embark on board the emigrant ship Black Eagle , bound for America , they have been allowed by the English government during their stay in this country Is . 6 d . a day each ; each one also has been allowed 20 s . for clothes and £ 6 ISs . for passage money . Inauguration of the Staiue of Podssin . —The inauguration of the statue erected by his native town , Andelys , in memory of the celebrated painter , isicolas Poussin , was celebrated on Sunday with great pomp .
