LAT 1 ST INTELLIGENCE . STAR OF FREEDOM OFFICL , Saturday , July 24 , 1852 . Twoo ' Ciotl . THE ELECTIONS . MIDDLESEX . XHE DECLARATION OF THE POLL . The procession of the Liberal members to the hustings at Brentford yesterday was a complete ovation . At ten o ' clock about 1 , 000 persons were assembled in front of the Reform Club , most of them with oat or laurel leaves in their hats or buttonholes , waiting for the departure pf Mr . Osborne 3 whose carriage , drawn by four grays , was in readiness at the doiT , with several other vehicles behind it . When the honourable member , accompanied by Mr . Hume , M . P ., and Mr . Hum , HP . ( for Bath ) appearedhe was received LATl ST INTELLIGENCE .
, , with repeated bursts of cheering , and as the cortege drove along Pall Mall , up St . JamesVstreet , and into ficcadilly , it was followed by many persons on foot , who hurrahed enthusiastically , as well as the pace would permit . All along tha road from Kensington , through Hammersmith , Turnham green , and Kew , into the town of Brentford , groups of people were assembled to greet the uex members , especially Mr . Osborne , who seemed very popular with the women , many of whom displayed wonderful power of wind and limb in running along by the carriage to grasp bis hand . At each of these points the procession was augmented by carriages , omnibusses , horsemen , and
pedestrians , so ^ that by the time it reached Brentford many thousands of persons must have swelled the popular triumph ; Favours of the winning colours were displayed on all sides , and flags and banners streamed from the windows ; the joy bells of Brentford Church rang merrily , and the whole population seemed to have turned out on the highway , in the bright hot day , for a good look and a hearty cheer as Mr . Osborne and his colleagues passed along . The cortege left the Reform Club at a quarter to eleven o'clock , and arrived at the hustings a few minutes before twelve o ' clock ; but some slight delay took place in declaring the numbers , as the poll books were not made up , though Mr . Sheriff Cotterelland his staff
had been at work since eight o ' clock . The space in front of the hustings was densely crowded ; all the windows commanding a view of the scene were occupied , and several ladies braved the heat and the crush to hear the speeches in a seat provided for them by the Sheriff . That the contest was a close one may be inferred from the singular fact that in each of nine districts , and of forty-two poll books , the numbers for Lord Blandford and Mr . Osborne were exactly the same ! As Mr . Osborne stated below , Mile-end gave him the victory . The official declaration of the poll was made soon after twelve o ' clock , amid loud and continued cheering and applause . It was as follows : —
lord R . Grosvenor ... ... ... s . ati Sir . R . B . Osborrie 4390 Marquis of Blandford 4 , 258 Majority for Mr . Osfcorne 132 The Sheriff , with the usual formalities , declared that Lord R . Grosvenor and Mr . Osborne had been returned to Parliament . Lord R . Gtrosvenoe rose amid loud cheers and said , —Brother electors and inhabitants of the county of-Middlesex , on Saturday last some 1 , 500 or 2 , 000 iands were held up testifying that they thought I was
a fit and proper person to be proposed as a candidate far the representation of this great metropolitan county . There is a celebrated comedy called the ' Deaf Man . " The principal character in that eomedy is a very conceited' coxcomb , who on all occasions makes himself ridiculous by proposing to those in whose companj 3 e is a series of very indifferent riddles . ( "Nan ®! and "Hear , hear . " ) One of the riddles Iofeeallect to have heard was this—there were four plaggrS ' " who played a whole night , and when they got ujpjoin the table they all won two guineas ? He ask ^ plqw that could be f and the answer was , " They wags . players on the fiddle . " ( Laughter . ) " What is the coimfy in which , having three candidates , two to be
elected , all are returned ? " The answer would be "the county of Middlesex . " The advice Itenderedtoyouwas this , that you should re-elect your old members , and return them in the same Middlesex Free-trade and Eeform coach as before ; yet there would , I said , be a little unpretending vehicle with my noble friend behind , which , though named the Fair Eosomond ( cheers and uproar ) , and , though it starts behind us , will , at all events , convey my noble friend in safety to the portals of St . Stephen . Whatever may be the case with respect to the members for the county of Middlesex , one thing is perfectly certain , that nobody ever heard of more than two kings of Brentford : and
my opinion is , that the two kings of Brentford were always gentlemen of the same political opinion ( hear , hear ) , because the historian represents them in the interesting attitude of both smelling at the same rose . ( Laughter . ) While my honourable colleague and I am inhaling the sweet scents that arise from the rose of Free-trade , I am afraid my noble friend will be cast a longmghngeringlookbehindattheflowerofProtection [ Fresh interruption from « a procession , headed by wasgon carrying a band of music which was in full activity . " During an interval in the performance ons of the crowd explained who the processionists were by saying " That ia the little town of Houn 3 lew , sirthat don't care a d—n for
, anybody . ] Allow ire , gentlemi-n , to tell you what you you have done . I hope you are satisfied . Everybody has got in—we are all in . You have gone and elected a Liberal of a slow school , and a Liberal of a fast school . [ A . voice : "You must unite with him , then . " Whatever Bhade of difference there may be between any of us , one thing 1 believe I may state , that our sole desire is not to put down , but by legal reform to perpetuate , those glorious institutions of Kings , Lords , and Commons , devised by the wisdom of our ancestors , and handed down to U 3 from generation to generation , and under which we ha-va theblessmgto live at the present day—institutions which I hope you will recollect in the midst of the overthrow of thrones , the wreck of empires , the convulsions of
nations , have , under God " a blessing , preserved unimpaired the greatest of our liberties—perfect liberty Of consc i ence , anl the unimpeded liherty of thought and action . . As education and knowledge increase and spread among the masses , lam of opinion " that more ought to be admitted to partaie of political power ; and I am convinced that is not only tie most generous , but is the true conservative policy . Those are the principles which have guided me from the year 1 S 23 , whea first I entered Parliament , up to 1 S 52 , in which , by God ' s grace having preserved my life so long ,. I am permitted to address you , and I think I can promise pou , as I promised you before , that those p > . i . cLes shall still continue to actuate my conduct .
Mr . Osbobxe then came forward , and was received with every possible demonstration of popular favour . As soon as the manifestations of delight had subsided in the crowd , &c said , —Fellow-countrTmen , electoi-3 and non-electors of the comity of Middlesex , my noble colleague , who has just addressed you , J-as typified himself to you as a Liberal of the slow school , and has presented me to your notice as a Liberal of the fast school . Well , gentlemen , you have heard Old 11 \ y . & with attention ; : nay 1 now claim your indulgence for Young Rapid ? And also , may 1 ask a patient and a kh ; d hearing for tbc gentleman of the old school , in the pateiit-rtfety cab , who follows us . Gentlemen , I

m « S V fd who » in 183 ° . brought in a bill to Parliafn n , } Pnyment of members , for household suffrage , ior tne admission , of the clergy to Parliament , and , m fact , ror most of those principles are called points of the Charler ; and , strange to say , that bill was seconded by the sreat man who proposed me—bv my hon . friend Joseph twSt -i y henIam charged with demoratic sentiments I tl a ng fc t 0 ex Ptoin that 1 have a deep sympathy with ino democracy I wish to make Parliamentary representation real , and not a sham , and I wish to protect the voter . 1 SO to Parliament prepared to advocate an extension ot the suffrage and the protection of the voter by the ballot . * go to Parliament ; prepared to advocate a large scheme of national education , irrespective of the claims or the quarrels of rival sects . I go to Pailiament anxious that the rich also maybe well-educated , that the universities should be thrown open , and that no sectarian distinct : oas shall prevail in the great seats of national education . That is my view of our home Dolicv . "With regard to our foreign ? J . ^ who , in 1830 . brought in a bill to Parl . a-
policy , I would shortly say my opinion is , that much as we sympathise with other nations , we have no rfcjht to preach crusades , and thereby to increase the taxation of our countrymen for the emancipation of any other people ; and that , however wo may sympathise with them in Hungary or in Poland , we have nothing to offer but sympathy , and that « is no part of the duty of an EDglish member of Parliament to interfere with other countries . And now I come to our colonial policy , and I say with respect to it that very sure am I that so Ion " as our colonies are conducted on the present footing , so lon » as you deny self-government to the col
onies , so long will it be impossible to maKeany material reduction in . taxation and in our present system at home . Therefore I will support any well-considered scheme of colonial reform having for its object to give self-government to the colonies . ( "Whatof Ireland ? " ) I am reminded , but in no kind spirit , I fear , that there is a place called Ireland , which demands my attention also . And sorry am I to 3 ay that you have treated that country as a distant colony . ( Loud cheers . ) What would be the policy .-I would pursue , or rather that I would support with regard to Ireland % I would say to all those who are rattier toq'anxious to rip up religious differences , to remember , that if there is s difference of religion between England and Ireland , there is a comity of interests ; that if the Irish are sometimes excitable , you owe much to that
unhappy country . I would ask ? ou to speak of a sister's faults with mildness and consideration —( cheers)—and I would remind you that , though now it may be forgotten , it was to the Irish members of Parliament you owed the Reform Bill of 1832 . ( Cheers . ) Remember , too , that the greatest instance of self-devotion ever given in modern Parliamentary history was when the Irish members representing a purely agricultural country—for Ireland has no m anufactures to boast of—supported the repeal of the Corn laws . ( Cheers . ) Therefore , when you blame Ireland for ner excesses , remember how , in the hour of peril and when your liberties were atstake , she stood by you and fought for your cause . 1 say , then , away with differences . He is no true Englishman who wauld hound on with a cry "England against Ireland ! " and he is no friend of his country who
womd join m it . Now , mark me , the question of Ireland is tno question of Financial Reform . You may send your troops there as you please , but so long as you rule Ireland on the principles put forth by the gentlemen on the opposite side ; so long as you continue to pay large bodies of troops to maintain your rule , so long will you have to keep to the amount of the taxation . Remember when the tax-gatherer comes to your door , it is Ireland that makes him call upon you . Remember how your rule has been maintained in that unfortunate country . Believe me it is not the submarine telegraph which will bind Ireland to you . No , the electric chain that will join you heart and heart together is abstinence from insult to ner religion , and sympathy with her prejudices . ( Loud cheers . ) I have always held that he is not a good Englishman who is not a good Irishman also .
( Cheers . ) Well , but will the Derby government enunciate the policy I have attempted to sketch for you ? ( Cheers . ) I have my suspicions . I am not quite sure that Mr . Disraeli is going to be the tool of the squires . 1 think that , like Sinbad with the old man of the sea on his shoulders , the Protectionists have got one ia the shape of Mr . Disraeli , who wHl eventually guide them into a path they had no idea of treading before . ( Cheer 3 . ) I can only say that if Mr . Disraeli throws a 3 ide class interests—if he does not talk to us of modifications of the burdens of the land , or of compen sation for what the landowners are said to have been deprived of—if he will fully enunciate a great national policy —however I may look with doubt on his past conduct , and »? W 0 Jer I may disapprove of the course he pursued towards air 11 . Peel—I shall not be found opposing him in any mea ^
swewhicn may be for yourgood . I cannot retire from these hustings without expressing my thanks to the fullest extent —my warm , heartfelt thanks to the 4 , 390 electors * who at great sacrifice , at great loss of time —(" of trade" )—yes , of trade—with great exertions made to hinder them from voting —( " Yes , yea ! " cheers ) -came up to the poll and voted not for me but for the principles represented in my person . To you , gentlemen ( to Lord Blandford ' s supporters ) , I return my best thanks for tha patience you have shown on this occasion . If rather uproarious on the day of nomination , you have amply atoned for it by your decorous silence now . These are gentlemen , I think , not to be bribed , how . ever strong their feelings—they are in most comfortable circumstances , and the only bribe you could have given them would have been the restoration of protection . But ,
alas ! that is dead and gone ; we shall never see it again . I return you my respectful thanks for your silence . In my place in the next Parliament , whatever be its duratioit , whenever you have any local interests to forward , I shall forget the day of nominat on . I bear no ill-will to any one ; if attacked I hold my own , but if treated with the consideraion a gentleman deserves , I am as much your friend as any man here . ( "Ask U 3 to dine with you ? '' ) Gentlemen , I thank you all for the reception you have given me this day . You have been told by my noble colleague , at the conclusion of his speech , that he was much gratified by the spontaneous evaporation of your feelings— I hope from the excessivo heat we shall not come to spontaneous combustion —( laughter)—but sure am I that whatever the heat of the weather , or tlie coldness of the political atmosphere , jvu wiu ei meat 3 tnai i snail
e » uuu my poc , ana always endeavour to watch over your interests while guarding my own independence . ( Enthusiastic cheering and applause . ) The Marquis of Blandfokd then stood forward to add'ess the electors , but was received with great clamour , when Mr . Osborne interposed , observing that no man was a friend of his who did not hear the Marquis of Blandford . As far as the tenour of the address could be collected in the midst of the uproar in which it was hard to say whether hooting , hissing , or groaning was the favourite mode of expressing the predominant feeling of the crowd towards the defeated candidate , the Marquis of Blandford said : — Electors of Middlesex , I no longer address you as an antagonist ; I am convinced that you will now give me that bearing which you would give to a fellow countryman . I am quite surs you are opposed to any misrepresentations
of any sort or nature whatsoever , and therefore I make the request that you wHl take down those placards which have been put up there , and which say that the Marquis of Blandford is opposed to the cheap loaf . I deny that ; and the other day on the hustings 1 stated , as clearly as any man could , that 1 was in favour of every legislative enactment which would have the effect of reducing tbo price of what was necessary to life and entered into the consumption of the poor . [ Hear , hear . ] Here ia a placard declaring that , "the State pauper not being able to gain a settlement in the county of Middlesex must be passed to bis own parish . " The noble lord remarledt ' iat there was a little vehicle in which I should be passed back to my own pariah . I will tell- vou , if
you will listen to me , what is the vehicle in which I shall be passed back to my own parish . It is with 4 , 278 votes —[ uroat clamour , in which it was hardly possible to hear more than a word now and then]—votes registered in support of those principles which , in spite of what had occurred , would jet triumph , and which would lie tho guide of his public life . Electors of Midlesex , I shank you all . I leave you now without one bitter thought . I desire your good ; and your good , according to the dictates of my conscience , I shall endeavour to promote in the legislative assembly of this country . You shall see by my public life that hereditary distinctions , ducal honours , and public pensions are but as dross in mycyea unless life and character sustain them . [ Cheers and uproar . ]
Mr . itaiE , on advancing to the front of the platform , was received with the warmest manifestations of popular approbation . He expressed his gratification at wimessing the triumph of principle in the great county of Middlesex in the person of his hon . friend , who was a distinguished advocate of civil and religious liberty , of reform , and of retrenchment . The noble lord was the victim of his party , while Mr . Osborne was the triumphant champion of their cause . The noble mavquis had been put forward by those who saw farther and hail other and deeper objects than himself . He
had seen enough of the noble marquis not to despair of his coining to his [ Mr . Hume ' s ] shop at last , and he hoped to sea him a good reformer , and , what was more , a consistent man . Ilia father had once been a reformer , and had sat r . cxt him ( Mr . HumeJ in the house , but he was afraid , from the line taken by his son , the noble duke had gone over to tbo close shop . Let them , then , show his opinions m tne other house , and not meddle with the representation of the people . He ( Mr . Hume ) was not one who looked with jealousy on the privileges of the titled men . He held it was an advantage on manv occasions of
pinching necessity to have a class to stand between the Crown and the people , and therefore he was the enemy of those wuo cried down the peerage ; but he was prepared to prevent their meddling with tho houso of Commons . lie believed the noble marquis would yet turn out an excellent churcb reformer The title he inherited and the proparty he held would be best protected by Ms becoming a Parliamentary Reformer .

Singular Ghase in the Channel . —On Sunday evening last , the Otillia sailed from the Mersey for Australia , leaving behind no fewer than twenty-three passengers who had the imprudence to come ashore , under the impression , it is believed , that the vessel would not take her departure before Monday . Early on Monday morning they were thunderstruck at finding that she had sailed , taking with her their outfit , necesBaries , extra stores , and money . In a state of the most frantic excitement they repaired to the office of the agent , who instantly telegraphed to hia agent at Holyhead , directing him to put a steamer in readiness to go in search of the runaway shipand
, despatched the whole of the passengers by first train . Arrived at Holyhead , little time was lost in transferring them to the steamer and putting to sea . After a cruise of aome houta the Otillia was discovered at a considerable distance to the westward ; but being on what is oalled in nautical phrase " a * wind , " and being , moreover ,, a vessel of first-rate sailing qualities , she gallantly pursued her course . Every possible means of attracting the notice of the vanishing vessel was put into requisition ; guns were fired , and signals of true " distress" were hoisted , and not a few of the agitated and harassed passengers exerted their lungs with a vigorous hail—a remedy
of somewhat doubtful efficacy at four miles rangebut to little effect . The Otillia still held on her course , and continuing rapidly to increase the distance between herself and the pursuing steamer , the chase was finally given up in despair , after an exciting trial of five hours . The passengers have since returned to Liverpool , as may well be supposed , in a state of the utmost despondency . —Liverpool Mercury , Fatal Accident at Bolton—About ten o ' clock on Monday afternoon a frightful accident occurred at the Star Inn , Bolton , by the falling of the eaBtern wall of the concert room and museum , destroyed last week by fire . Mr . Sharpies had engaged Mr . Simcocki a master brickaeUer
who erected the building , to take down the walls , with instruction to use every precaution necessary to prevent accident . The work has been going on under Mr . Sitncoek ' s superintendence since Thursday last . Mr . William Sharpies , Mr . Ricbard Sharpies ( hia uncle ) , a carter employed in removing the r ' ubbub , and several other persons were among the ruins at the time , watching the progress of the workmen . Mr . R . Sharpies , sn hearing the cries of alarm from the workmen and others , who saw the wall give way , ran into the joiner ' s shop , upon which a portion of the wall fell , and he was for aome time buried in the ruinB . When extricated he was much cut and bruised , but not dangerously . The carter , an hearing the alarm crept under his cartand thus
, escaped , a portion of the wall falling upon the cart , and fiilliug it with bricks and mortar . The horse was uninjured , being just beyond the range of the falling ruins . The greater portion of the wall fell to the east upon some miserable hovels in Wigan-lane , occupied by poor Irish families , and here the consequences were fri ghtful . Three of these huts were crushed to atoms , and a fourth was so dilapidated that it could hardly hold together , and the unfortunate inhabitants were buried in the ruins . Every effort was instantly made to rescue the inhabitants , and many were got out —men , women , and children—several of them cut and bruised , but most of them with little injury . Three or four were taken to the infirmary , where their
wounds were dressed , and they were soon able to go among their friends . It was then necessary to remove the ruins , in search of three persons who were known to be missing This was a work of very great labour , but the men engaged persevered with untiring energy , and about eleven o ' clock they found the body of a girl agen ten years , named Nabey Kilgallen , who had been suffocated in the ruins . The men continued theiv arduous labour , and at twelve o ' clock they recovered the body of Michael Larkens , and a man between forty and fifty years of age , and a widower , with three or four children , who was at his own fireside when the accident happened . He was much bruised and iniured . but
his death appeared to have been caused by suffocation . It was still known that a woman was in the lane when the wall fell , and her body was found about half an hour afterwards . She was frightfully mangled , her skull being fractured , her legs and arms broken , and several ribs stove in . Her name is Wary Curley , a widow with six children . She obtained a living by selling cockles . The bodies were all removed to the Golden Lion Inn . At six o ' clock the same evening an inquest was held by Mr . Taylor , the borough coroner on view of the bodies of tho unfortunate sufferers when evidence was given of the above facts . The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Accidental death !"—Manchester Guardian .
A Scene of Horeok off Brighton . -On Monday evening , as twilight was slowly deepening into night , the idlers upon our cliffs were seized with the liveliest emotions of fear and terror . Everywhere they might be seen gathering in groups , conversing in anxious nnd hurried tones , and all directing their gaze , with painful intensity , towards an object lust visible on the verge of the horizon westward . In that direction were dimly to be discerned rising clouds of smoke , and a red glare teflected on the still waters . At first this appearance was scarcely perceptible ; but it beoame momentarily more vivid , the smoke thicker , the flame brighter , and then there ran from one end of the cliff to the other the exoiting intelligence that there was a ship on fire m the oiling . All was now confusion . Ladies were runnine to and fro on the Esplanade , demanding why something wa 3 not . done—why somebody was not gent out ? Gentlemen poised their telescopes , and , nautically astute , were

ATTEMPT TO MURDER . Wesiminsikr . —Martin White , a pensioner from the Grenadier Guards , underwent a lengthened examination charged with a desperate attempt to murder Ann Hurley ' The parties had bsen inmates of the Westminster Hospital ' owing to their mutilated condition , especially the woman ' whose face was disfigured by a frightful seam across the chin , extending from ear to ear , and whose arm had been most frightfully lacerated . The accused ' s throat exhibited the marks of a severe incision , and his fingers of reoent lacerations . —The proseoutrix stated that she had lived with the prisoner , as his wife , for upwards of twelve months , but left him on the Friday before the 9 th of June . On the evening of Tuesday , the 8 th , she obtained leave of a person , with whom she had lived as servant , to come to Westminster , and , after partaking of some liquor with the prisoner , who was partially intoxicated , was induoed by him to accompany
him home to 11 , Devonshiro-plaoe , Broadway . In the course of the night she discovered he had a razor in his hand ; in a moment he drew it twice across her ohm and said , " I'll serve you out now . " She placed her right arm up to preserve her throat , and he cut it most Beverely . She struggled , and succeeded in escaping his grasp , and running out of the room , bleeding profusely from her wounds , and was then carried to the hospital . The prisoner then locked the room door , and cut his own throat in a desperate manner . Prisoner , in defence , put in a long written , rais-ipelt rigmarole , from whioh it appeared he was jealous of the woman , and in which he declared she wounded him , and received her injuries in his struggle to get the razor from her . —Mr . Broaderip said it was his duty to commit the prisoner for feloniously cutting ; and wounding the woman with intent to murder her .
VIOLATION . Lambeth . —David Joseph , a member of the Jewish persuasion , who was said to be in an extensive way of business in the City , was brought up on a ' warrant and placed at the bar , before the Hon . G . C . Norton , on a charge of violating the person of Eliza Harrington , a girl of fourteen years of age . —Mr . Norton said , he should send the case before a jury had he not some doubts as to whether a case of misdemeanour would be established . ' There was no doubt , however , that the prisoner had been guilty of a most unmanly and disgusting assault upon the poor little girl , and for this he regretted that he had not the means of adequately punishing him . He ( Mr . Norton ) had no doubt whatever that many a person had suffered the last penalty of the law at the hands of the common hangman for a slighter offence than that of which the prisoner had been guilty , and he would leave the court branded with the utmost odium . He then convicted the prisoner in the highest penalty of £ o for the assanlt and the expenses , and also one guinea , the fee of Dr . Flower .
AN UNMANLY BRUTE . Mr . William Braham , an artist , residing at No . 19 , Hillstreet , Wai worth , was placed at the bar on a charge of violent assaulting and endangering the life of Mary Ann Ryan , his servant . Mr . Games attended on behalf of the prisoner . —From the evidence , which w » 3 taken at considerable length , it appeared that on the preceding afternoon tho prisoner and his wife went out , leaving Mary Ann and Catharine Ryan , their servants , in the house , and on their return at about half-past seven they acoused their servants with having ; drank a portion of about a pint of brandy that had been left out in the front parlour , and also of having partaken of some pickled salmon whioh was not meant for their use . The girls denied both charges , and one of them went for their mother ; and when the latter arrived at the house of the prosecutor , she heard loud screams of " Murder . " She knocked violently at the door , and on its
having been opened to her by Mrs . Braham , she saw the prisoner give her daughter Mary Ann a violent blow with his open hand on the face She ( the mother ) rashed in between the prisoner and her daughter , when the former gave her a violent Wow with his olenohed fist , and knocked her down on the stairs . He then rushed towards the fireplace , and arming himself with a poker , gave his servant Mary Ann a violent blow with , it on the shoulder , which knocked her down . He next dragged her up and threw her into the garden in front of his house , and while on the ground repeatedly kicked her . The violent screams of the poor girl brought several of the neighbours to the spot , and the police ultimately came , when the girl was found to be so severely injured that she was at first taken to the residence of a medical gentleman in the neighbourhood , and from thence to Guy's Hospital . —The prisoner was remanded for a week , but was admitted to bail in two sureties in £ 50 each , and himself in £ 100 .
DETERMINED ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE . Worship Street . —A great portion of the magistrate ' s time was occupied in the investigation of determined attempts at suicide by women . In the first charge , which was preferred against a good-looking young Irishwoman , named Anne Spiller , who stood at the bar with a baby in her arms , it appeared that she had foolishly allowed herself to be seduced by a young man residing in Criapin-streefc , Spitalfields , and upon the birth of the child occurring she took out a warrant against the putative father to compel him to support it . The warrant was then dismissed , in consequence , as she alleged , of the false evidence of a female relative of the father , who , however , continued to allow her a small sum weekly , paid by himself personally , until some time ago . when he discontinued it altogether ,
and on Monday evening she called at his lodgings to obtain the money in arrear . She was told the father was not at home , and after waiting some time she suddenly quitted the house , leaving the baby behind her in the landlord ' s parlour . The landlord did not know what to do with it , and went in search of the prisoner , but could not find her , and while deliberating what course he should pursue she came back and demanded the infant , but refused to leave the house , and raised such a disturbance at not finding the father there that a large mob oollected , and it was necessary to send for an officer to compel her to go . With great difficulty the constable got her into the street , but she had only proceeded a few yards when she thvew her ohild down on the pavement , and took to her heels with suoh rapidity that it was only after a long and persevering pursuit that she was overtaken , and lodged in the station , a 3 much for her own protection as for that of the infant . She was there locked up in one of the cells , in an ill-tempered mood , but
quiet , and , after being watched several times , was thought to be perfectly safe ; but upon Sergeant Sugg going again to look at her at a latev hour , he found her perfectly senseless , quivering all over , black in the face , and almost lifeless , from her having twisted her apron tightly round her throat , and it was only after the lapse of a considerable period , and with the greatest care and attention , that she was ultimately restored to animation . When called upon for her defence the prisoner declared that the witness who had caused tho discharge of her warrant against the child's father had perjured herself , and she thought it very hard that she should be made to keep the infant , while its father , who could do so , escaped . She was actually penniless and near starvation , and as , after repeatedly calling at the father ' s house , she could neither see him nor obtain any money , she was driven to such desperation that she determined to abandou the child and make away with herself . As she expressed no regret for the aot she was sentenced to a week's imprisonment .
In a second case , that of a decent-looking married woman , named Maria Mitchell , it seemed that Bhe was seized with a fit of jealousy on the preceding evening , which induced her to drink , and , meeting another woman about ten o'clock in tho Hackney . road , she commenced so furiously quarrelling with and assail ing her , that a crowd collected round them , aad as Bradley , the constable , could not persuade bev to go home or bo quiet , ho was obliged at lust to lodge her in the station . There she was placed in one of the cells , and upon Sergeant , Judd , of the N division , ° oing to visit her about an hour after , he found her stretched on her side on the floor , a ligaturo , formed by tearinc off the
hem of her garment , bound firmly round her neck , and exhibiting Buch decided indications of death that the divisional surgeon was obliged to he sent for ; even with his assistance , however , ib was only with extreme difficulty that she was at length restored to consciousness , and several hours elapsed before she had thoroughly recovered . A tlnvd charge was tben taken against a well-dressed young woman named Sarah Richardson , in whose case it appeared that she was out sweethearting with an admirer named Lynch , a plasterer at Holloway , wben , whilo walking together along the towing path of the Regent ' s Canal , neav tho Sew Novth-road , between three and four in the
morning , somo lovers' quarrel ensued between them , and without further ado she suddenly shook herself off his arm and pitched herself head foremost into the water . The young man instantly dashed in after her , but owin" to the depth of the water at that part she sank several times , and it was not till she was nearly lifeless that he succeeded in ultimately getting her to the bank , when she was found to be in such a dangerous state , both of body and mind , she repeatedly deolnnng , upon recovering her senses , that she would complete the attempt on the first opportunity , that her sweetheart was . compelled , though reluctantly , to "ive her up to the police . "
In these two cases one woman expressed her vc » i'et and ffi'SVfti . " t - rcfuscd t 0 d 0 80 ' ™ d , it being quite manifest that neither could bo safely intrusted with her liberty , they were all committed to prison for a week .

A Highlander ' s Caiieer in AusTSALu—The following romantic ana interesting adventure is well worth perusal . The individual to whom dame Fortune was so lavish with her gifts left Inverness about fourteen years ago , where he carried on the business of a butcher . Having made up his mind to emigrate to Australia , he prevailed upon a brother-in-law of his , with his family , to accompany him . The party sailed together from Inverness , and arrived in London nil safe . The day following they strolled to vieivthe wonders of the metropolis , and , in doing so , and , as fate would have it , were not destined to sail together for Australia in the same ves ^ ael , having lost each other .

However , believing a further search for them would be useless , and besides , his means being but scanty , he at once resolved , wWwut anyfaraw delay , to sail for Australia , which he did on the evening of the seventh day . His brother-in-law and wile also gave it up as a liopeless case to recover their relative , and , after a diligentsearch , ' lmn for two days , sailed for Australia , bein ? thus five days a-heao
