Between two and three o ' clock yesterday afternoon much Emotion was occasioned in the several law courts at AvStmins ter-hall by aa unexpected visit of Mr . Fearstw n-Connor the lion , member for Nottingham , whose extraor-V- arv conduct quite put a stop to the business of the ur for a time . It appears that the hon . member , who Ld only returned to town on Monday evening from his ., r 2 nee fl ; ht to America , had come down to the Hall in the ? ' , * f finding the house sitting , and learning that it was „ for the holidays he took a stroll about the p lace , and at i \ j H tb sauntered into the Court of Eichfquer . Elbowing vjs'V ay through the crowd of persons who were listening to

tie sroceedings he took his seat at the attorneys' table , j , »] oi 7 the inner bar , right facing their Lordships . The sud-5 ? n appearance of the hon . member and his peculiar conduct at o : ce excited the attention of all in court . For a mitu'e or so he looked at their Lordships and listened to the argamen * which -was going on with much earnestness ; iba % however , gave way to a strange wildness of demeanour , and waving and kissing his hand to the bench he beran to laugh in a very hearty style . The noise made by the anf oitunate member prevented the argument which was Mure the Court being proceeded with ; the barrister sat down , and their Lordshi ps were considering apparently waat , 35 to be done , -when the unhappy man burst forth in a ] Oud tone of voice , and Eaid , waving his haad to the Chief
B 3 roa , ' -How do you do , Sir Frederick Pollock ? very glad to see job look so -well , Sir Frederick ; you ' re a noble fellow ; I lie joa , I do ; you ' re a good fellow . " The ushers called ' ' silence '" and Mr . O'Connor perceiving , perhaps , that be was likely to be handed over to the care of an officer of the court , burridiy snatched up his hat , and , laughing and bowins ta tne bench , took his departure . One of the ushers was seutfiut to communicate with the police , and , on the hon . member bring sought for , it was found that he had paid a visit to the Court of Common Plf as , to the discomfiture of the bench and bar . Taking a seat in the inner bar , he shook hands with several of the Qusen ' s Counsel , talked of his trip to America in a very incoherent stylo , and , as in the Exchequer , bezan to nod and laugh at the judges . This he ¦
kept up for about five minutes , and on Mr . Justice Maule laying down some principle o ! law as applicable to the came then being heard , he gave vent to a violent outburst of laughter , and appeared as much amused as if the learned judge was relating some curious story . As his Lordship was concluding each sentence he observed , " Ah ! " " To be sure / ' "You are right . " "Very strange . " And at moments , when he apparently was not heeding the judge ' s remarks , he entertained himself b y beating his fingers on the table , as if keeping time Tvith some tune he was humming . Mr . Justice Mauie having concluded , Mr . O'Connor rose , and smiling and bowing in a most profound meaner , at the same time bavins : a farewell laugh at the members of the bar , made his exit in the sa-re eccentric style as bad marked bis
entrance . He then visited the court where the Lords Justics Lord Cranworth and Kni ght Bruce were hearing appeals . He forced his way to close under the bench , and mntrering some unconnected sentences to Sir P . Wood , stared their Lords Justices full in the face and began to nod and laugh at then ? . He gradually moved himself more in front of the bench , and at length his conduct interrnpted the business . He was desirous apparently of paying the same compliment to either one of their Lerdships ' as he had to the Chief Baron , and continued bowing and laughing . Sir Knight Bruce , however , immediately inquired for one of the officers of the court . The inquiry was quite enough for Mr . O'Connor , and before there was time for the official to be for thcoming he went bowing out of the court . He next v sited the Lord Chancellor , and , forcing his W 8 V below the
inner bar , began to nod and smile with his former vigour . As may be imagined , be succeeded in interrupting the business of this court ; his eccentricities , also , had attracted a number of followers , and for the time much commotion prevailed . At length his peculiar demeanour excited the observation of the Lord Chancellor , who , in hh usual calm and dignified style , desired him to sit down . Mr . O'Connor again laughed and bowed , and having the fear , probably , of being committed for contempt of that high court , bowed and laughed at all near bim , and made a hasty escape into Westminster-hall . He appeared all the worse , as regards look , for his transatlantic trip , and it was observed that little doubt need now be entertained as to the condition of his isind . He loitered about the hall for a short time afterwards , and then sauntered np Parliament-street to the hold where he is residing . —Times , Wednesday .

THE EARLY SPRING WILD BEE . One of the earliest , and consequently pleasantest indications of the return of spring , is the appearance of a particular species of wild bee , whose peculiar motions must have attracted the notice of every lover of a garden . To those who have not paid much attention to entomology , it may be useful to mention that , in addition to tho hire bee , and the different kinds of humble bees , all of which live in societies , either permanent or annual , there are a great number of other species which belong to the Bime family ( Apidse ) , which are solitary and not social in their habits , and of which there are consequently no neuters or workers , each female making its own . nest , and providing its cells with a store of food for the supply of the young larva * when hatched . The bee which is
the snbject of this notice is one of these solitary specieB . The earliest flowering of the common white * Alyssum Beemsto be the period when this bee first appears . " Then may be observed darting about with wonderful agility a brownish orange-coloured bee , with a body much thicker and more hairy than that of the hive bee , which ever and anon stops , and poising itself with remarkable ease in front of a flower , it unfolds a tongue as long as its whole body , which it thrusts into the depths of the blossom , to extract its honey . Should you approach too near , the bee , ever on the alert , wheels round , and facing you , regards you for a short period , during which it seems to be immoveable . Its large eyes and peculiarly spotted face give it a striking character , which a lady of my acquaintance likened the other day to the face of a monkey . This orange-brown bee 13 a male insect , and is especially distinguished by the remarkable brush-like appendages to its middle legs . la about a fortnight after the first appearance of the males , some other individuals make their appearance . Quite unlike
the former , being entirely jet black in the colour of their coating . These are the females , which , in addition to the halit of sucking the honey from flowers , in the same manner as the males , occupy themselves in collecting the pollen from the anthers , which they knead into little masses , and carry off on their hind shanks , which are formed for that purpose . It ia rare to see one of these females , unaccompanied by her attendant partner , whose movements whilst fluttering round her , or covering over her , while she , with great coolness collects the honey from flower to flower without bestowing any attention upon him are very amusing ; if she departs ho departs , and i f she returns he returns likewisQ , remaining as it were suspended in the air , while she quietly pillages the sweets from a flower . These males exhibit an amount of jealousy at the approach of a rival quite ludicrous . I have observed a pair of males fighting in the air for a considerable length of fame , rolling to the ground , and biting each other with their powerful jaws .
" Duriug the season of courtship , " says Mr . Kirby " the whole employment of the male seems to be to attend upon his partner , but when the halcyon days of love are over , like many other husbands , he goes about his business and leaves her to take her flight in solitude . " The personal appearance of the male , however , undergoes a considerable change for the worse ; a few weeks turning his bright orange-brown coat into a dirty clayish-coloured « rey , so that he is hardly to be recognised as the same individual we had at first so much admired . " The female makes her nest in hard banks of gravel or clay , containing several cells of an oval or elliptical shape , covered within with a thin white membrane , each being about three-fourths of an inch in length , and not quite half-an-inch in diameter , they are placed in no regular order . In Northamptonshire , as we learn from Ray , it makes its nest in stone walls . I found it myself in great abundance frequenting the walls built with Ketterine stone
at Wansford and Ufford , in that county ; and once at Norwich I was much amused at seeing a female , one sunny morning , very busily employed upon a brick wall , and exerting all her might to poll the mortar from between the bricks ; but whether this was to prepare a place for a cell , or only a sheltered cavity to pass the ni ght in , according to the observations of Rossi , I could not ascertain . " In the great lime pit at the west end of Gravesend , between Ro 3 b . emlle-gardens and the river , a large mass of lime , thickly intersected with narrow strata of gravel , as toge as a house , has been left standing , the southern side of which may be called the metropolis of this insect , as it occurs there in countless myriads . I spent several Lours there on the 10 th . of April last , examining their nests , and Had onl y to pull downasmall portion of the gravelly strata to expose great numbers of nests , nearly every one of wmeb . then contained a perfect bee , ready to make its escape at its appointed time . ., ¥ *' .

of the United Irishmen from the " first blood" drawn by them on the land night of Prosperous to the summer morning that poor Robert Emmett rushed t ' orth from the city with his lonn matured hopes so wretchedly exploded . That morning , it is told that Ann Devlin had scant } stock of provisions for the banS of ou " . laws , making their way to hiding places in the hills , who tarried f . r breabdat at Butterfield . There was no costly and abuudnnt service at the young insurgents * batchelor board , but neither were the guest s very fastidious . Doyle and Eminett breakfasted from the same plate and bowl , and soon parted never to meet again . A month afterwards the dogs were lapping Emmett ' s Wood under the scaffold in Thomas-street .
Daring the insurrection of ' 08 in Kildare , with its series of ( juerilla skirmishes from Kilcullen to Oridstnwn , Luke Doyle was in almost every brinh with the soldiers . Kildare had a gallant race of peasantry then , of whom came Ware , afterwards Colonel in the French service ; Quigly , Robert Emmett ' s lieutenant ; Wilde , of Prosperous ; Malion , and a host of ethers , who ? e exploits and escapes are jet "to flame-ejed listeners told" in many a country cottage . Hunted from place to place for months , they had difficult work ta escape the law until amnesty was issued . But on one memorable occasion they came forth from their hiding-places reckless of all risks . It was when tlie news came that General Toiie ' s remains were beini ; brought down to be buried at Bodensto-. vn . About a dozen haggard , hard hunted outlaws then assembled around the coffin of the founder of the United Irishmen—a worthy guard of honour—as it was borne up the loretn , by his father ' s house , to its last resting-place beside the old Abbey , One of them was the youpg rebel who , fifty years afterwards , has Eought his last resting-place in the same sput .
5 PECUL 4 TI 0 XS AS TO AX EUROPEAN WAR . Speculating on tho probability of an European rupture , the " Nation thu 3 discourses the position of England at such a crisis : — She cannot be passive , however , in the war that is coming . The first rush of the French trill be to Belgium ; and England is , beyond any other Power , pledged to sustain Leopold , But she may nave work nearer haaie . The French officers , Mr . Henry Drummoad declares , are boasting that tliey will make a descent on Ireland as soon as the priests have prepared the people here . This shows thaOhe idea of invading Ireland is familiar to the French , and the preparation of our people is goin » on rapidly . England is preparing them fast by insults and
robberies , and charges of constructive murders . It is true that we have been greatly weakened ; many of our strong hands are dust , or are toiling afar for the stranger . But there is strength enough left to make England dread an invasion . Even after dwelling so long in the shadow of death , the Irish Celt may be fouud a terrible element in a general war . What will Ireland do in the impending convulsion ? Whea the crash of prisons is heard will she crouch in a corner of her dungeon ! When the wild hurrah of Europe , girding herself afresh for the hereditary fight , makes freemen ' s bosoms bound , will Ireland stop her ears , or will she avail herself of the opportunity , and clutch her own in the contest ! In the breaking up of old connexions and the confounding of old relations there is hope for her .
THE BXODCS . According to the " Cork Constitution , " a number of respectable young men , citizeD 9 of that city , are preparing to leave their mother country with a view of trying their fortunes in Australia . The same authority thus reports generally of the progress of the Exodus ; : - from the 17 th of March last to the 5 th ot the presant month 3 , 722 emigrants set sail from Queenstown for America . Among them were several citizens and their families , and many first-rate artizans . A ship ot 1 , 000 tons burden sailed from Dublin on Monday , having on board its full comple ment of passengers . The fine screw steamer Mars renewed her journey from Waterford to Liverpool on Saturday last
, hanng 250 passengers on board . Oa Taeaday the Carron cleared out from Foynes harbour witn 122 passengers , and the following day the Thankful set sail from the same port with 151 passengers , all bound for Quebec . The Elizabeth Bently , for New York , left Queens , town on Tuesday , having her full complement of emigrants on board . The London steamer on Thursday carried over 300 passengers , most of them emigrants for Australia . Though the flow of emigrants to America has long been steadily augmenting . Australian emigration is increasing in a still greater ratio , and includes classes not only respectable , but those who were once opulent ; distinguished stuaeuts in the universities , barristers and other professions , and gentlemen of ancient and noble families are among the classes who select this portion of the globe as an asylum .
"With respect to the " drain" of the legal profession , it is thought probable that , before many terms roll over , it will be found that the Dublin law courts will have contributed their full quota to the Irish emigration contingent . On Monday the Court of Queen ' s Bench , Dublin , was crowded to excess by persons anx ' ous to hear tho sentence pronounced upon James Birch , the proprietor and editor of the late " World" newspaper , who , it will be remembered , pleaded guilty to a charpe of publishing certain foul and atrocious libels on Mrs . French , a widow lady , tho daughter of Mr . Brewster , Q . C ., who bad been leading counsel for Sir W . Someryille , in the trial of " Birch v . Soraerville . " Mr . Justice Crampton animadverted with great severity on the conduct of the prisoner in publishing the atrocious libels of which he had confessed the authorship and sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment . Mr . Birch will , we understand , be imprisoned , in Richmond Bridewell .
The statements made by Mr . O'Callaghan , J . P ., before the Crime and Outrage Committee , respecting the Roman Catholic priests of Crossmaglen , have been most einph ati cally denied by those gentlemen .

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . The adjourned session was continued to-day at 'Westminster , by adjournment from Clerkenweil . There were seventy-eight prisoners for trial , eventy of whom were committed charged with felonies , and eiehfc with misdemeanours . The Beitiso Shop 3 . —Edward Frederick Towerzey , a respectable looking youth , was indicted for stealing a coat and other articles , the property of William Davis , in his dwelling house . —The prosecutor , it appeared , was an auctioneer , residing at S 7 , Dean-street , Soho , and tho pri-Eoner had been in his employ as clerk , but on the 15 th of May he was discharged in consequence of a sum of £ 7103 . having disappeared under suspicious circumstances Tho prisoner subsequently went to the office , and by means of a latch key , which he had no right to possess , helped himself to the property mentioned in the indictment . Tho iury
fonnd the prisoner Guilty . The prosecutor then stated that the prisoner had been in his service three months only bnt during that period , short as it was , he had robbed him of upwards of £ 100 , and he ( prosecutor ) had no doubt that he began to rob him from the first day of his being in his employ . —Mr . Withatn inquired what means the prisoner would have of disposing of so large a sum of money The prosecutor said he had ascertained that he had gambled it away at betting bouses , with which the neigbourhood abounded . —Mr . Witham said these betting houses were now becoming the pests of society , and he hoped that in a short time the legislature would see the propriety of adopting some means for putting an end to them . A large number of apprentice boys were induced , by tho allurements they held out , to rob their masters , being under the belief that they might by some lucky chance make a fortune by betting on horse races . The prisoner was sentenced to one year ' s hard labour .
Powers of the Poiicb . —Important Decision . —Timothy Murphy , aged 32 , Thomas Keheller , aged 40 , and Thomas Ryan , aged 30 , were indicted for unlawfull y assaulting William Pollard , a metropolitan police constable , in the execution of his duty . —It appeared from , the evidence that there was some disturbance made by the prisoners very early in the morning of Sunday , the 18 th of April , in the house of p- " ™ - \ ' ? . Upper Fitzroy-place , where Keheller lodged . Mrs . Ferns ; and her husband complained of it and Keheller struck her , and sha called out " Murder " and sent her son out by the window to fetch the police . Pollard and two other policemen , in consequence went to the Uouso , and forced tne door of the room open where the prisoners were . A scuffle ensued , in which the door was again closed against them . They again forced it , and went into the room , and endeavoured to apprehend tho urisonerB .
wnen roiiara was struck a severe blow by Murphy with the tanw , and also by the other two , who armed themselves with tho poker and a leg of a table . Pollard was much injured by the treatment he received and was not able to eo on duty again fill the 24 th . He was taken to the hospital , and tha policemen , with tho assistance of others who camo up took the prisoners into custody . —Mr . O'Brien for the defence , contended that the policemen had no right to take tbo prisoners into custody without a warrant . Under these circumstances , he did not think the resistance the prisoners made could be construed into unlawful and malicious wounding , as laid in the indictment . —The Asaistant-Judge impressed upon the jury , that , as the indictment was framed under a clause of a particular statute ( Lord Campbell 8 Act ) , the offence must be Btrictlv made out as charged . The police had the power of breaking open a house , and taking parties into cuBtody without a warrant , where an aggravated assault had been committed , but it must be shown to them that this offence had been commited which did not appear to have heen done in this case .
ji not iney wouia not oe justified in taking this couraa , and thepartieBwonldhaTearight tomake resistance against being taken into custod y . Now , to bear out the indictment which charged the prisoners with unlawfull y and malic - ously wounding with intent to do bodily harm , the jury must be satisfied that the police had a perfect right to taki the prisoners into custody and that they had not the least Ztt& * &&Z % SSSt&JSl

The Science op CASDLK-Bmtsijjo . -Before you put your candle out , look at it . It has been burning some time unsunffed , and gives little or no li ght : the wick is long , and is topped by a heavy black clot . -a lump of nnconsumed carbon . Take the candlestick in your hand , and move it gently from side to side ; the superfluous wick burns away , and the candle is again bright . When you ask yourself why this is , you Ieam that flame is hollow , and as it admits no oxygen , which is necessary lor combustion , the wick whicn it surrounds remains unconsumed , and diminishes the light . When the flame , by motion , leaves ! the wick exposed at intervals to the oxveen nf Hip ntmnanWA .
it speedily burns away . Note the valuable deduction from this fact— the formation of a wick which constantly turns outward and reaches the exterior air , and bo gives us a candle requiring no Miufhng . There ia much philosophy in the burning of a candle . The wick you may think is intended to burn and give light ; but this is not exactly the fact . The wick is simply to bring the melted tallow , or oil , if in a lamp , into that finely divided state in which it is best fitted for combustion .- Tho heatapplied to " light" the candle decomposes into its constituents the small quantity of tallow next the wick ; heat and light are produced ia the operation , and the heat 80 produced carries on the decomposition . —2 fc BuMtr ,

Fatal Accident at a Diving Bell , —An accident occurred last week at the Harbour of Refuge Works , Dover to one of the men engaged in ati ending the diving bell ' . The unfortunate man waa named William Perry mariner " aged fifty-four years . Having died from the effect of the injuries received , a coroner s jury was summoned , at which George Pearce , mariner , deposed : On Tuesday morning 1 was sent in a boat with the deceased to take two men to the diving hell . When we came alongside the bell was lifted about five or six feet from the surface of the water , and we immediately placed the boat under it , and enabled the men to get into it . After this we attempted to get the boat away from the bell as quick as possible , but before this could be accomplished a sea came and raised her up against the edge of the bell , and the deceased was caught between the gunwale of the boat and the bell ' s edge . He appeared much hurt . He lingered and died the next day .

FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT \ . T THE . LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE . "
About twenty minutes past twelve on Tue 3 day last , when the business of the Corn Exchange was at its height , a fatal catastrophe occurred that spread consternation and alarm to the utmost limits of the town . Suddenly a cry was raised that the place wag falling and rush was made to the door , but instantaneousl y , the whole of the centre portion of the flooring ijave way , and the scene that ensued defies description . The Corn Exchange is a new fabric , whose foundation consists of a series of transverse arches , each about ten feet deep , upon the top of which a temporary flooring has been placed , until the entire building shall be completed . The building is divided into three compartments . Massive iron columns support thereof , these columns resting upon butnf ™ w ° 2 K f ° rkl < i he entrancedoor b « ng in the middle of what may be termed the centre compartment , and situated immediately tetween the iron pillars referred to . '
The Conservatives or Protectionist cwididaten , Messrs . Forbes MMtonae , M . P , and Mr . Charles Turner , were present at the time of the occurrence , aad a large assemblage of persons connected with the com trade , together with the miscellaneous public , had congregated to hear the hon . gentlemen expound their views to the electors , whom S ™ a f vT VaS 8 > lB * «»> M 8 tof a conversation , every word of which was eagerly caught at by the crowd pressing around , a cry was raised that the buildine was falling , when in a moment the entire centre compartment fell in with a tremendous crash , carrying with it in its fall both the honourable candidates , as well as the corn factors , millers , farmers , shippers , and bakers , who were all huddled together and covered , and in many cases severely bruised by the fallen sample stands of the factors . The scene at this moment was of the most painful charao-«? , nn 3 T M ° T ^ ? e ^ eoted that the immen se roof , ffi k ? t * m ff i ? , ? lumns a ^ vedescribed , would tall w , but happily the brick buttresses UDon whirh thnv a ™
placed are of more enduring workmanshi p than the fragile arches which have been the cause of the present catastrophe . For a space of forty or fifty feet on either side of the doorway , the floor had sunk to the depth of from ten to twelve feet , extending throughout the entire widihof the Exchange Snfterf & ° anS of , , strugg « n ? sufferers were dis ^ mctly audible to the crowds who usuall y assemble on mar-Ket days in the streets ad jacent to Brunswick-street . Immediately the most vigorous efforts were made to extricate those who had been imbedded in the fallen brickwork , and ma few minutes the united power of a strong body of labourers was brought to bear upon the ruins , the approach to tfte Lorn Exchange bem ? guarded from the rush of the anxious multitude by a nutnber of the police force , commanded by Capt . Grieg . So far as the candidates were concerned , although they were on the spot which was first observed to be giving way , they were secured without the sliehtest iniurv . and w * ave
nappy to state that , considering the depth of the fall , and the numbers who were thrown together with tho weight of tae corn-stands , the extent of injury has been comparatively *! u 1 / et wemu 8 t de P lore the Ios 3 of two lives , being two of the labourers who were employed about the building , and who had retired beneath that portion which gave way , for the purpose of eatiDg their- dinners . Both bodies were extracted from the superincumbent mass about half an hour after the occurrence , but one was found to be already dead , and the other died a few minutes afterwards , although medical assistance was ready at the moment the unfortunate man was brought from beneath the ruins .
The compartments on either side of that portion which has given way are still standing , and all the factors and dealers who were in those portions of the building , of couts * escaped uninjured . As soon as . sufficient room could be cleared , temporary stages were ereoted , upon which planks were placed to enable those who still remained in the build-£ K ? f m t ^ escap ? , it being at the time considered doubtful whether the pillars were entirely secure , in consequence of the supporting arches being removed from one side of the whele of them . Many of the factors who fell with the flooring were severely bruised , and some of them had to be conveyed to their offices bleeding and insensible ; but , as we have above remarked , considering the immense number of persons present , the weight of the materials , and the nature of the building , it is wonderful that not more lives were S cr 5 fi S t d than those of the tff 0 unfortunate men above alluded to .
IHQOKSI ON IHE KILLED . On Wednesday an inquest was held before P . Finch Curry , Esq ., upon the bodies of Edmund Coleboum , labourer , and J . Stevens , joiner , who were killed on the preceding day by the falling in ol the archeB of the Corn Exchange . The court was densely crowded , and the deepest interest was manifested in the proceedings , in consequence of a statement that the mortar and workmanshi p were both of an inferior quality , to which the origin of the fatal occurrence was mainly attributable . Mr . Laoe , solicitor , appeared for the committee of the Corn Exchange , and Mr . Blenkinsop on behalf of Mr . Picton , tho architect , f he coroner called in the assistance of Mr . Edwin Woods , civil engineer , and Mr . Weightman , borough surveyor , to report on the probable cause of the aooidenfc . These gen . tlemen accompanied the jury to view the bodies and to inspect the building , when an adjournment was agreed upon until Monday next , in order that a model of the Exohange as it was before the falling in of tho floor , mtoht be Dra .
pareu , and tnat the professional gentlemen mi ght have time to investigate and prepare their report . Mr . J . R . Jeffery was chosen as foreman of the jury , by whom & subscription was proposed for the families of the sufferers . Coleboum has left a widow and two children , and Stevens a wido * and five children to deplore their loss .

The Lucifer-Match Disease . —The existence in the world of a curious foria of disease , which had been manifested in the human body since the invention of lueifer matches , and caused by fumeB from the phosphorus used in ti > eh- manufacture , was first made known to the public in 1 S 48 . Most writers have been induced to suppose that the dibeaae begins with aching in a tooth that has been previously more or less imperfect , or in people whose gums are not firmly adherent to the bone . An unsound constitution , especially scrofula , at any rate , favours the deve . lopmentof the disease . The next symptom is a deoaying of the jawbone . Pieces of it , probably as large as peas , work themselves out . The disease has destroyed its vitality ; for bone also lives and requires its blood-vessela and its other apparatus . When bone ia deadan admirable

Occasional deaths are the result of this affection , but commonly there is no more than great suffering for a certain time , and then a permanent and grievous disfigurement .

The necessary arrangements having been made , a search commenced , and after a little time two large wolves , a male and a female , left their hiding place to get away . Both were immediately shot . It appears , however , nearly certain that others of these animals are still to be found in the forest .

render it impossible for him to make any outcry or to offer an effectual resistance . While he thus lay in the fanga of his enemy a second man closed upon him , and rifled his pockets Btealing a gold watcb , £ 2 in gold , and some silver . Having got possession of their booty , they ran away up a yard that leads from Scotland-atreet to Peacroft . The transaction was so short that Mr . Mort did not , as is often the case under such circumstances , lose his consciousness , but before he could do anything with the view of arresting the flight of the aggressors they had got clear off . The men must have operated with great adroitness , for there were several groups of persons in the vicinity , none of whom were cognizant of what was going on . Mr . Mort had passed Beveral persons at a fish-shop not 100 yards from the place where he
was attacked , and just before coming to the fishshop he had seen six or seven men standing at the door of a dram-ihop opposite to the top of Lambert-street , He also found , at a dutan . ee of not more than ninety or 100 yards beyond the scene of the robbery , two watchmen standing in Meadow-streer , neither of whom had seen or heard anyhing remarkable transpire .

POLICE RUFFIANISM . At Bow-street office on Tuesday , Mr . Garden , a barrister , waited upon Mr . Jardine , to inform him of a difficulty which had been placed in his way in his attempt to prosecute a polioeman for excess of duty , and for an assault upon himself . At about three o ' clock one morning last week complainant was attracted by the screams of a woman in the street . Ho hastened to the spot , and saw a policeman struggling with a middlo-aged woman , who had a child at her breast , and was apparently intoxicated , Complainant inquired what was the matter , to which the constable replied , " What is that to you V and thon demanded his assistance to got . the woman quietly to the police station . Ho refused to holp him , considering that policemen wero numerous enough to holp each other , and ,
being moreover anxious to sec what was done by them in suoh emergencies as the present . On the arrival of other constables , he ( the complainant ) was quite shocked to witness their violent and barbarous treatment of the poor woman , who was dragged along the pavement like a brute . She entreated him uofc to leave her to their mercy , and he followed them to the station-nous ? , whero she was literally pitched in . While waiting outside co hear the result , the constable in question came and seized him by the collar , and dragged him before the inspector , upon tho paltry charge of having refused to assist him in the discharge o £ his duty ; but being unablo to justify such wanton conduct , the inspector rebuked the officer , and allowed him ( complainant ) to go at large . At the sitting of the magistrate at Bow-street , it would be remembered that he culled the
attention of his worship to the conduct of the policeman , and was recommended to mako a complaint against him at Scotland-yard , upon which tho Commissioners of Police would direct an inquiry to be instituted iu tho usual way at the police court . This was done , and ho ( Mr . Carden ) now understood that the man was not forthcoming , although the inquiry was to have been gone into that afternoon at two o clock . —Inspector Dodd stated that the constable , whose name was Beck , had been duly directed to appear at the court to answor tho charge . In the meantime he had been suspended , owing to what appeared to the commissioners to have been an excess of duty , and had never been heard of since . lie was a single man , and was quartered at tho station ; but he had not returned to
his quarters since his suspension . —Mr . Carden was anxious to pursue this case , if only in justice to the policeman , whom he did not wish to bo punished without being tried . He might be keeping out of tho way from terror ; but the public had a saying to the effect that constables never got punishment at all , but managed to evade it by keeping out of the way , and then getting employment in another division . Surel y it wus the duty of the commissioners to advertise him in the " Police Gazette , " or take somo steps to apprehend him . —Mr . Jardine regretted that it wns not in his power to assist the complainant . —The oomplaintint then retired , expressing his opinion that there must be something very deficient in a system which left him entirel y without redress for the outrage which had been committed upon him .

A lady named King , residing in Foley-place , Regent-street , stated , that being on a visit to a friend's house at Clapton that afternoon , she , her sister , and two other ladies , went out for a walk about two o ' clock , and while passing through an unfrequented road , leading towards Hackney , they camo upon the prisoner and three other youths , who were walking together . As soon as the prisoner and his companions saw them they began pushing each other about , gradually decreasing the distance between them , and the moment ; they got nearly up to her and her friends , the prisoner suddenly rushed upon her , and she instantly fulfc herself
pulled nearly to the ground on her face by her watch guard , which he tugged at with such violence that it was broken ia several pieces , leaving her watch , which had been pulled out of her dress in his hands , As soon as ho had got possession of it tho prisoner gave it a jerk into an adjoining hedgerow , evidently with the object of one of his confederates securing it , but she anticipated the movement , and picked it up , and the moment they saw that she had regained it the whole dispersed in different directions , the prisonor running down tholroad at the top of his speed . She pursued him , calling " Stop thirf ! " and a fishmonger , in a cart , who fortunately came up at the time , whipped his horse and galloped after him , On coming up with him the fishmonger leaped out and secured him ; but before ho could do so , he distinctly saw tho prisoner fling something over the wall of a neighbouring enclosure , which there waa no doubt was the witness ' s seal , key , end part of her gold neckchain , as the whole had been stolen together , and the
watch had been Sung away by itself , and none of the pro * porty had been discovered in the prisoner ' s possession . — Mr . William Braid , fishmonger of church-street , Haokney , and the son of a person named Pocock , residing at Homerton , fully confirmed the latter part of the proseoutrix ' a evidence , —The prisoner declared that the profleoutrix was entirely mistaken as to his share in the transaction , earnestly assuring the magistrate that the robbery had been committed by a much older and taller youth than himBelf , and cross-examined the witness with so much cleverness and appearance of truth , that the magistrate was for some short time in doubt of his guilt , and inquired if anything was known to his disadvantage . —Alderman , the gaoler , immediately said : Oh , yes , your worship , tho prisoner naa not only been repeatedly in custody , upon charges of felony , but has been once summarily conviqted ; he is a most notorious character , notwithstanding bis age , and is a member of one of tho most activo gangs of thioves in tho district . ** Mr .
