LITERATURE. E.:swam:l4om tAo Pr.choco of At Stole; or, Mo flat a f a I. rathcal Systeh% for Ms Ertemiois of Aot . By J. Bourn, LL.D., Chard otu Obi the Margo,. id , late Phaid:tat of Bridal Colle/olte. J. w•. Parker. Dr. th has been for some years known as • vigorous advocate of a system of education which lays down as a leading principle that no system can be perfect which is not constructed with a view to the wants of the state of society in which it in to be brought into operation. Ho would sestet, doubtless. that these wants arc, at the present time, different both in kind and degree from those which influenced the minds of the founders of the great public schools' in the lleh century. In the present case he comes forward as the proposer and advocate of a plan by which not only may the whole character of I our education be imptored, but the extent of this education he immensely enlarged. Ile first points I out the remarkable anomaly visible in England that I while during several years past most energetic mea sures have be-eu taken to provide fur the education of I the poor, the results of these measures having been shown in the production of a method of study and a set of school books, far superior to those of which the I middle CIOVICS avail themselves, nothing has been done of a similar nature fur the benefit of the latter. While private wealth, ancient endowments, and time-haliewed institutions provide amply for the education of the upper chases, and state assistance has been lavishly bestowed on that of the lower, the educutien of the middle classes i s abandoned to its present uncontrolled in comin teney. And yet, in spite of the growling% of taw foreign democracy, it is the middle classes who, in the last instance, pessiss the political power in this rountry. The conclusion is ohs ions; these classes I should he wisals• instructed and curt fully trained, so as to qualify them in every way for the judicioue per formance of their dittice. Now the direct interfer ence of government in the education of the middle chimes is nut to be thought of. All the powerful arguments which may he used in favour of state in n:Hl:retire in the ease of the poor are inapplicable here. The middle classes are not unable to pay fur education, the fact tieing that they spend vast sung :tinily Inc this purpose. - They are not, like the poor, auseesilde to the value of education ; their an::itty to obtain it is proved by the avidity with which they seise and pee largely fir any educational nostrum which brought before them. What, then, is to be done? Compulsion is not to be thought of; and yet as long as the present NVsti•nt or no-system exists we shall have to witsess tile curious plictionwnon of the two extremes of etwiay being brought into actual cons munication with the state by means of the strongest of all ties, while the most important class be comes more and more estranged from it. Booth proposess a remedy. Although the state cannot instruct, it (1111 examine. Examination is its province. How examination is to be brought to bear upon the evils to lie remedied, lie shows in the plan which he suggests in the pamphlet. This plan may be considered by some too 1)01.1; but we are bound to say that it bears thorough evidence of' having been well considered. The objections are met honestly and vigorously, and those who may dis sent from wane of the de . tit% will not foil to be struck with the remarkable coherency of the whole and the ability with which it is recommended. Our limits will nut allow us to do more than extract from the pamphlet the mere outline of the plan : these who wish fiir larther iafortuation on the sub ject are referred to the work itself : Let the goy, rnment establish a rule, or the legislature, if neeneary, mewl a I.lw, that no pence, after the shall be admissible into any employment under the crown, or be eligilde to iliediarge the Ouch, of our public tali. sal iop• ponitment, who shall not (I) have taken a degree in some university of the United Kingdom, 09 (2) passed through ere of the military eulleg. s, or (3) obtained a certificate from the goverouteut board of examite (le-reattee more fully referrol to.) Let the effect of such a certificate be to piece the holder in the class from which all official appointment must necessarily be filled, and not to renter an• individual right upon the ponessor. It would thus constitiote him one of a clan—a very numerous one, indeed—endowed with certain Frio :es, but would give him au piTonl.4 chins to such. • • The ml being eatablisliml, h t us further suppose that the wlsole country were divided into educational districts or citeuits, of sueli magnitude as the state of education and the amount of populatimi might requite ; and that a board of examieers, app doted hy the crown, who should Auld at scene ions, central Once, within each cir cuit, au al.aual es units:item of candidate,' t in a course of subject+ by th e n, previously appointed. A this examina tion all pei cos should he po rmitti d to present themselves, whether educated in public schools ur humble 91.111111aTiVA; whether taught by private tutors or self-instructed. This boanl shonld be empowered to issue to succosafoil candi dates three clines of certificit,e. • • The tint elan should be or anted only to Cow who in addition to the knowlo der and answaring which would qualify them to obtain the .scot clan eertdicates, should undergo a volute- ' tary examination in the higher departments id 90011: MUM of literature or 99.10 CV (10 be sleeted by 9114-11PCITCA Muir certain redrietions), and prove their knowledge of times sesteects to Le leach , memoir.: and accurate. • • These examinations are to he amtlucted partly in writing partly rim ewe, by at last three examiners. The hand It examiners. should be obliged to publish its a chtup and accessible form full accounts of their proismilio ga. Year are to i.e charged upon eertifl cote*, but the examiner* are not to receive any mos husent frsnt them. This is the hate outline of the scheme. author presumes that the advantages would be that the crown would be enabled to socket its employiu from the tides: and (situation of the eauntry ; that nearly the evhole a the youth of the middle classes would after a shirt tulle pm-sent themselves for examina tion, for althowsh few would rum to themselves any expectations of obtaining a government appoint ment, few nevertheless.* would vuluntari'y erect a hornet-against such a contingency; that tlwse certifi cates would come to be the best passport for lucrative employne tit at the eittninte , into life; that the exertions of schoolmasters would he stimulated, in enler that their pupils might distinguish them eelvess and that thus the tone of education would be improved—that public education would, in the end, come to be modelled upon the plans of the most competent men in the country, the members of the Board of Examiners. &e., &e. One of its greatest advantages. in the eyes of economnits will be that it will be eelfsupp Tung. I)r. Booth leas shown %%Lilt accuracy that a moderate fee on each certificate will defray the whole expense of the examinations. t)! the argurte nts with which this scheme is amp ported, we have not time to speak ; but they are worth (Imelda-ration, even by such as will be opposed to its intruthicti.,ll, inasmuch as they are deduced both from them- and practice. All merely general object' are well sitiewerml by 1)r. Booth himself, in the extract with which we shall close our notice : It will olmabtlen be said that plans of this kind are novelties -that users is no preeedmit for them—that it is an useless and centralising innovation—that people who "tend in need of education will find means to procure it —and that society can lie kept well enough together, lei it has ever beeadoy eanctions of pee esh meld with out hiving recount to those of r. ward, which lie beyond its sphere. Yet if we would only raise our thoughts above the mists of prejudice, and look at things as th. r really are, and not through the get:ss medium of conventionalities and fragments of inconsistent principles, it would In hard satisfactorily to explain wits the •• Avenger " rather than the " Asorter' of evil should so long have been the object of our worship. Nor would it be moy to show—whether we take our stand on the absolute and immutable rule of right, or seek our maxims in the ever changing policy of a shifting expediency—why the promotion of education should be an object less worthy of the aomails 'solicitude of the state, than the suppressiou id crime. If we deduce our principles from high conceptions of religion and morality, and not simply ' from low hut pre- Cam cousidemtione of palpable utility, we may uncoubt. illy affirm that if the air we breathe untiolst the eongteg Sod 019.114.11 of the poor he so loaded with pesti lence and noxious exhalation, as at length imperatively to demand the interference of legislative autherity in the shape of •• sanitary reform," so also should the purification of the moral stinosphere around us be at least equally an object of Christi .io coacem. May we not ask, why should a general school delivery be It ,+1 an object of interest to a civilised people than a general gaol delivery? How is it less consistent with a wise and benevolent public policy to send forth memo:mimeos of education than COlll9O 69i009111 of bankruptcy ? DEATH Or JACOB, ESQ.—We record with !erect the d.mise in London, on the 17th inst., at the ad. minced age ot a.J, of William Jaeob, Esc., a gentleman whose industry, in collecting and epitomising returns and averages couriecuml with the corn law question. will be ie. wiembersd with respect. Mr. Jacob held the appointment of Cumptroll..r of torn Returns in her Majesty's Board of Tee le, uhivls ..r r. , unw has become vacant by his death. 11.. was also a Fallow of the Royal Sociiry v .Nt.ttt.... tor the towns on the South Western line will be de-patched from the General l'ust-office this day the Fame as on others, but in consequence of the South Western !tails ..y arrangements being the same to-day as on Sundays, there will be no up raid•day mails from the south ot England, and consequently the communication between the south and the north of Faigland by means of those mails wits be cut off oa this (Christmas) day. IRELAND. Desert. Die. 24. The English secretary of the Catholic Defence Associatioa has arrived in Dublin, and entered on the duties of his office, so that there appears to be very little chance of matters being accommodated by the retirement of that gentleman. There has been some talk about appointing a second secretary to represent exclusively Irish feelings in the body, but this appears to be too absurd to be thought of. The Dublin Protestant Association have issued the following announcement: GREAT MEETING OF TUE PROTESTANTS OF IRELAND. —The commwee of the Dublin Protestant Association hereby give notice that a great meeting of the protestants of Ireland, to adopt steps to secure the repeal of all sets en dowin4 the Roman Catholic Callege of klaynonth, will be held in Dublin, under the hi/hest 'aspics s, spreviously to the opening of the nest session of parliament. Edward Grogan, will take the chair. The Limerick lirporter notices an extraordinary feature in the history of emigration. It appears that while thousands arc leaving their native shore for the land of the West, there are vast numbers return ing to Ireland; and it is added that scarcely a ship leaves New York that does not bring SO or 100 per sons homewards. The climate and habits of tin , 1 people at the other side of the Atlantic arc not, it' seems, altogether agreeable to some of our country men. The C are Journal, on the other hand, says: " The tide of emigration is increasing fast every day in this neighhourhuol. There arc about twelve families leasing the small parish of Kilfenora next month, consisting of about sixty in number." Mr. Augustus Colingridge, an English gentleman, I I who was declared the purchaser of several lots of the Earl of Kingston's estites on the 25th November Mat, for the sum of 31,550/., and who had been ar rested under an attachment issued by the Commis sioners of the lneumbered Estates Court, was brought before the Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Perrin yes terday in the Queen's Bench Chamber, on a writ of habeas corpus; and, after a lengthened argument by' Mr. Stephens, on the part of the prisoner; Mr. Lawless, on the part of 51r. Leonard Morrogh ; and Mr. J. I). Fitzgerald, on the part of the Sheriff, the prisoner was discharged from custody. The grounds I upon which counsel relied for the discharge of the prisoner were an error in the date of the testing of the writ under which he was arrested—namely, " the fourteenth year of the reign," whereas the Queen is is in the fifteenth year of her reign since June last.

The first launched was a war steamer, of 2,2t*tons, built of iron by Messrs. Mare and Co.. and to be fitted with engines ui MU horse power by Messrs. Maude lay, Son, and Field. The Faid Gihaad, the name of the vessel fur the l'eeha. is 2212 feet in length between the perpendiculars, 23zi feet length of keel for tonnage, 40 feet breadth of beam, 39 feet depth of hold, and will draw en the average IS feet water.

The other vi.seel launched from the yard ! of Messrs.

Her dimensions are 240 feet in length between the perpendiculars, 21b feet length of keel (or tonnage, M feet breadth of beam, and 25 feet depth of hold. She is to be fitted with engine% of 300. horse auxiliary power by Messrs. 31audslay, Son, and Field, and is constructed to carry, if required, an armament ten anting of twenty 32-pounder broadside guns of 66 cwt. each, and two 10-inch pivot guns of 84 cart. each. The Challenger was launched during the same tide from the building yard Of the Mews. Green, intended as a fast-sailing tractor.

Bramwell, Q.C., and Mr. Willes, appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Serjeant Byles and Mr. Unthank were for the defendant. The facts of the case are shortly these: The plaintiffs were London merchants, and the defendant was a ship owner at North Shields, and the own( r of a barque called the Mary .Ansell. This vessel was in the latter Ke rt w o m f last ani t at ora Nw voyage ' e feo le ni - York, an a , tpo d w rtt a o s chartered London. I Nl 7 , New man cossigned the cargo to Messrs. Cooper, Fitton, and WLean his ship-brokers, and, according to the usual course of busii.en, the freight should be paid to them. The amount of friiiieit in the present case, 1331. 17s. Bd., was accordingly paid to these gentlemen on the 28th of De cember, ISSO, but they had since failed, and the question now was whether before this date the plaintiffs bad notice not to pay the freight to Meson. Cooper, Fitton and M.Lean. The plaintiffs sent barges to the St. liatharine's Dock, and the MI cake was taken from the Mary Ansel' and put on board the barges. The captain, however, refused to give the ordinary " past" to enable the barges to get out of the doe!:, and the dock company, acting under the indemnity of the defendant, detained the barges, and put the plaintiffs to expenses amounting to 421. 10s. In addition to this they lost Ai. in consequence of not being able to complete a sale of the oil cake fur which they had leirgaint•ti and these sums formed the amount sought to be recovered in the present action. Both the plaintiffs and the defendant and many other witnesses were called, but the great point was whether pre view the 2 , 01 December, 18 , i0, a verbal notice was given to the plaintiffs not to pay the freight to Messrs. Cooper, Fitton, and 31•Lcan, but to pay it to Mr. Hutchinson , who had been appointed to act for the defendant. The jury bound a verdict for the plaintiffs for 921. 10s. The case occupied the whole of yesterday, and lusted until -le two o'clock to-day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-TESTERDAT. Suomi Ms. 00.111.10,0 l Ver•ISLANtil.

Mr Pierey supported the bankrupt. Mr. Norton opposed fur the assignees on the ground that the bankrupt had deceived them as to his property, and had lead Clem to seize some fixtures and other matters, in respect of which an action hail been brought against them, and they had been obliged to give up the property.

This insolvent, late clerk to Mr. Justice Coleridge, ap plied to Ise discharged from prison. Mr. Nichols opposed for a Mr. Bolton ; and Mr. Barlow, patent agent, appcarM hi person. The insolvent was discharged under the act in August last year, when his debts were considerable. He had been dismissed from his situation, and, according to a letter from Mr. Justice Coleridge to Mr. Barlow (which was read), his eldest son was appointed at 501. a year, and the insol vent's wife, through the kindness of the learned judge, was paid '251. a mouth, making 3.501. The remainder of the salary, which in the whole was about 7001., was paid to trustees under a deed for former creditor's, arising out of a speculation in a brick field. Before the last in solvency he hail accepted bills ter Horatio Carter, who had a patent, and icon afterwards accepted other bills, which caused his present insolvency. lie had omitted debts from the former schedule. Mr. Bolton WAS the holder of a bill endorsed to him by one Barnett Joseph. Mr. Barlow was employed to enrol a specification of a patent for Carter, and toot the insole, ut's acceptance for 10/. 16s. about a mouth after his discharge under the act. lie was not aware of that circumstance, or that he had been dismissed from his situation, otherwise he should nut have taken the bill. Mr. Commissioner Law investigated the complaints, and said it was necessary boat Mr. Bolton should attend to prove whether the hill was paid to him by Joseph before it was due. As to Mr. Barlow, the case was a clear one ; he had been very ill-treated by the insolvent. The case was adjourned to the Gth of January. Thu court rose for the Christmas holidays. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCEIT.—Yonx, Ikc. 23. iSFSOLR Ma..lnrrtcx CUAILUE OW Fmtices Cooke, 211, woo charged with the wilful murder of her Shout child, John Herbert Cooke, ou the ISth of September hot. from the opening statement of tho learned counsel for the prosecution it appeared that the child which the prisoner was charged with having murdered was four weeks old at the tone of its death, and was sucking at the breast. On the 30th of May toe pri soner Leeson , : an inmate of the Kirkhcaton workhouse, three mites trout Huddersfield, and was there &liters:a of a male child ou the 24th of August. The prisoner, with her child two years old and the new-born infant, remained iu the workhouse until the IS& of Sslitember On that day she lett tine house with botii her children, the infant being dressed in workhouse clothes. On the 2ith zsepteno bet the body of a child was found in a stream of water near to a dam, in the vicinity of Huddersfield. A person named 'Mows found the body in the water, and when he took it out it was considerably swollen sod in a state of decomposition. The clothes upon the body be longed to the workhouse at Kirkheatou. On the 2atli of September Holmes went to the house of the prisoner's mother, and asked her if she had any of the workhouse clothes. Slio replied in the alarm:dive, and pro duced a bundle which contained some clothes, observing that she hail promised to return then, to the matron. In addition to this statement she told Holmes that a sailor bad died at the workhouse, and that when he was buried, her infant was interns. at the same time, the burial being duly registered by Mr. Dyson. After this she made another statement, to the effect that the clothes had been given to her by a woman living at Mold Ureen, whom she slid not know. The prisuuer at other times made several difKreut statements. She confessed herself to be a " guilty wicked woman," and this expression she made use of frequently, and added, " Oh, be us merciful to use as you can." Ou one occasion she said that she was a guilty person, that she thought of leaping iutu the water alter her child, but that she was slw i l'buuud and could nut do so. The question to be decided was whether the body found was the child of the prisoner. If the jury should think not, there was an end of the case ; but if they should be con• winced that the prisoner had wilfully thrown her offspring into the water they must convict her of the crime with which she stood charged. A number of witnesses were called to prove the opening of the learned counsel. The clothes the child had on when taken out of the water were identified us belun_ing to the workhouse. Mr. Clark, the surgeon, who had 1114t1, a post munch% examination of the body, discovered Li bruise on the head, but it was nut sufficient to cause death. From its general appearance the child Seemed to be six or stven weeks old. The learned judge, in summing up, remarked that the evidence of the surgeon tended to show that the child found did lot belong to the prisoner, as he said that it was six or seven weeks old, whereas, the prisoner's child only lived a month. This was au important discrepancy nu doubt, but there was the fact that the body wag dressed in the workhouse clothes, a circumstance which established to some extent the identity of the hotly. The jury returned u verities of Au/ Guittp. The remaining business of the assize. consisted of cases of cutting and wounding, robbery, aid rape, none of which powessed nay special interest. THE POLICE COURTS. OIJILDHALL. ----- Joseph Car, described as a tailor, of 22, Drummond street, Euston-square, was brought up on remand . , charged with attempting to obtain 1001. from " Wilson's Trust," by fraud and perjury. Further evidence was given to show that the prisoner did not occupy the premises in question as a tailor, and that the referees and securities offered by him were either ficti tious or forged. It was then proved that the prisoner had in February, 1340, sold the good will of a school in Castle-street Eaat, Orford-street, to a Mr. Huulston, in the name of " Henry Watson;" that in March, 1810, he tools a house in Penton- Trite from a Mrs. Powell, in the name of "Thomas Joseph Williams," and referred to the landlord of the house in which he lodged, whom he stated to he Mr. Henry Watson, schoolmaster, 36, Castle-street. He also took a house in July, 1810, in Carburton-street, Fitzroy square ' from a Mr. Knapp, in the name of " Henry Dawson,' and another at 37, Albert-street, Camden-town, from Mr. Wilily, is the ' name of "Allen," all which he left without paying rent. Another share was nest preferred against the prisoner, ' for basing on the Sth of May, 1840, obtained 10/. from the St. :Martin's L , an Society, by sighing a promissory note in the name of "Thomas Joseph Williams;" and it was • stated he obtained several other sums from the same society under other names. The pre.on.r wan then committed.

The examnations of Heilhron in the Court of Bank ruptcy, in which the above statementa were made, were read. Mr. Lamb, 140, Sloane.street, pawnbroker, 'dated that between the f.ith and 12th of May, 1861, Davis pawned with him watches and articles of jewellery to the amount of 901.. giving his address as a householder, Brompton-road Atter that b• declined further dealings with him. On the Bth of October Davis and Ifeilbron came to his shop, and on Basis producing the duplicate Relit:nun handed him a number ot bank-notes, with which alibi paid the required amount, and he believed that the goods were then handed to Ileilbron. Mr. Jacob Russell, a pawnbroker, 10, Shoreditch, proved that Davis pawned articles of jewellery with hint, between 12th March, 18.51, and his bankruptcy, for 2101., which were all redeemed b lbron in September and October. Mr. Barnett Phillips, 8, Castle-street, Hounsditch, bought of Heilbron a quantity of silver forks and spoons at 6s. an ounce, making a sum of 321. 35., which ho sold to Mr. Barker, of Leadenhall-street, for 6s. 6d. an ounce on the 15th, making a suns of 341. 19s.

The prisoners were then committed ; the same bail as be fore to be accepted. CLERKENWELL. Aldborough R;rhardson Darla, aged 30, described as a wino merchant, was placed at the bar fur final examination charged by Mrs. Mary Ann Pass, of No. 221, Strand, with stealing 20 dozen of wine, value 401. In August last the proaecutriz hail a furnished house to let in Guildford-street, Bit:sell-square. It hail two wine cellars, one stocked with 20 dozen of wine, and the other empty and for convenience and we of the tenant. The prisoner, who represented himself as a wine merchant, negotiated with her, and took possession with his wife, children, and KrYillitP, on an agreement that she was to have access to the house awl wine-cellar, the stock of wine in which was exclusively her own. The door of the cellar was securely fastened and sealed, and the corks in the wine bottles were also sealed. Subsequently she went to the house, which she found deserted, the door of the wine cellar had been sawn open with a small saw, which was found near the spot, and the 20 dozen of wine were gone. John Ilowe, the groom, wLo, with all the servants, was discharged just bemire the wine disappeared, said, that melting uu the following day lie saw the prisoner in his shirt sleeves busily engaged, coining up stairs front the direction of the wine-cellar, and there were packing can ' s in the hell, with straw and saw dust. The prisoner s porter, John Simmons, assisted to remove them to a cart, when they were taken away. The officers eventually traced the wine to have been conveyed first to Mr. Buys, wine-merchant, of Bread-street, and front thence to Mr. Bowie's, wine-merchant, of the " Iced A. A. K.," Wood street City, by John Simmons, the porter. The prisoner was at length apprehended at the Bankruptcy Court, he having surrendered to a hat that had been issued. Mr. Lewis said lie intended to charge and indict the pri soner tor feloniowly stealing, in his own dwelling house, i property above the value of dl. Ile should call John Sim mons, who was an adverse or unwilling witness. John Simmons, of No. 20, Cock-lane, Smithfield, said he was porter to the prisoner. On Sunday, Nov. 30, he was at the house, 01, Guildford-street, Itussetl-square. Saw no ' wine or packing casts or bottles on that evening. Mr. Mould—Pruy what were you there for on Sunday night. Witness—l went there by Mr. Davis's desire. I went there merely to see him. I was in the kitchen. Mr. Davis was sot in the kitchen. Can't say how long I was in the kitchen. The witness WAS SOW to speak the truth witnout hesita tion, or he would be charged with the prisoner. Ile tin it i a n du a ti c t a te r d t. aeon lie nA t d h r l n Virc . :.i ne ca ,, se i s th aLi r c . h p h a e v r . ik i r away Webb iu the kitchen on the night before the =SW/ were re moved. o•itness—l got the cases front Mr. Davis's warehouse, Bow-lane, City. I was summoned to attend here. Mr. George 13 , ys, wine merchant, of 29, Bread-street, Cheupside, said that three cases of wino were kit by mis take at his house. Saw Mr. Davis (pr:,oner), who said they were meant to have been left at Mr. Bowie's. Mr. John Bowie, of Woad•strect, 'zed A A K lintel, said he frsquently bought wine of the prisoner. On Tues day, the 2nd of December, three cases of wine were deli vered at his hotel in Wood-street. They were binned in his eellar. raid 32n. per dozen to the prisoner. It was not usual to have sealed cmks. Did not notice whether the corks were cut. Simmons, the witness, assisted his MIS to put the wino into the cellar. The prisoner was intro duced to witness by a highly respectable mon. James Brett proved the apiirehension M the prisoner in the Bankruptcy Court. On serving Simmons with a numinous to appear to give evidence he attempted to evade it, and make his escape. The numinous was served upon him at the house of Mr. Edwards. jun , licensed victualler, of Stanhope-street, Clare Market, who had been victimised by the prisoner. Mr. Tvrwhitt said he should commit the prisoner for trial, and under all the circumstances he should out feel 'Unwell - justified in accepting bail for his appearance. On the application of Mr. Lewis the witness Simmons was ordered to put in his boil fur his appearance to give evidence. The whole of the witnesses were bound over to prosecute at the sessions. LAMBETH. James Spanstrick, Thomas Bresuks, and Charks Maims, and E.liza Nparatariek, the wits of the fir6t-named prisoner, were charged with stealing SS pounds weight of sealing wait and 2si pound+ of twine, the property of Mr. James Terry, cheesemouger, of 12, St. George's-place, Was worth-roud. . _ Moss, 2:4 P, deposed that from information he received he on the day before went to the house of the primmer • Spanswiek, Pi, Thomas street, Lark's-field., and there found all the prisoner;. Ile told the three men, who were in the pariour, that they must consider themselves hi. pri soners, and he communicated the same intelligence to the fens de, who was up-stairs, and took ell into custody. On searching the house he found 27 implicates, a picklock hey, two e.mre-bits, sealing-svax and 20011,5. of twine, the two latter articles being concealed under a hed. lle subsequently searched the house of Mallen, in Amelia street, Walwoith, and there found 71 duplicates. On exa mining the prouiscs he found that the back adjoined the warehous.: of Mr. Terry. lle also observed that the bricks 11111 some tilts had been removed from the roof of the ware house suthcient to admit a person to enter, and found some pieces of sealitm , - , wax in the gutter which had evidently dropped there while it was litiosz taken away. A life pre server wm also found it, the house. _ _ The officer here produced the sealing-wax and twine for the magistrate't inspection. The greater yortion of the latter was in hanks, and perfectly fit for use, and the former waa also perfectly tit for use, and some of the sticks had merely been lit, as if to give theta the tetuldance of being used. .an White, 3i6 P, mid that he accompanied Moss to the house of Spanswiek, and in starching it found three street-door skeleton keys and twelve picklock keys, one crowbar, a screwdriver. ono chisel, and a dark lantern, which bad recently a light in it. These implements of housebreaking and house-entering were also exhibited to the magistrate, and nothing could be more perfect or com plete in their way. Mr. Terry, the prosecutor, deposed that he believed the twine and sealing-wax produced to be his. The weight of the scalina-seux was 8811 s. and that of the twine 2Mlbs., and he bad purchasid them from a clerk in ti.e General Post-office, whose perquisites they were as the refuse of the office. Prisoner Mallen—Refuse, your worship ! why, you will see a quantity of that twine in perfect hanks. Its no re fuse, your worship. Mr. Elliott—Weil, that is en. A great portion of the twine seems very fit for use, and therefore I suspect there is something wrong about it, and should recommend the officers to make inquiries of the Post-office into the matter. I I much doubt whether such things are permitted to he carried away as perquisites, and particularly in such quan tities. Mr. Terry, in continuation, said his warehouse had been broken into on Monday night, and the property produced carried away. That warehouse was in Amelia-place, and it abutted on the back premises of the prisoner Mallen. In uoss er to a question of the magistrate, the witness said he had purchased the wax and twine on the 16th, and they were brought by the clerk, who represented them as his perquisite's, in a bag belonging to the Post-office. The prisoner Spanswick raid he had purchased the wax and cord, and neither Brooks (who was his loiler) nor Mallen knew anything about it. The other prisouersdeclared their ignorance of the charge, and ut the request of the officers engaged in the cast, all were remanded. Harriet Kent and Stnannah Evans were placed at the bar fur final examination, on a charge of stealing a leg of pork from the .Lop of Mr. 11. Lawrence, a hatcher, in East-lane, Walworth. Mrs. Lawrence said she believed the woman Evans was the person who was in company with the other person when the robbery was committed, but she did not like to swear pwitively to her. Toe constable who apprehended the prisoners, and who found the leg of pork on the person of Kent, informed the magistrate that, from inquiries he had made, he ascer tained that they were both drunken and dissipated characters, who prowled about the .mots to pick up any thing they could sell and get drunk with. He had also ase named that Kent was a notorious thief, and that her husband had been transported. _ _ Kent did nut deny the statement of the officer relative to her hut-bawl, and even acknowledged that she bad been tried herself and sentenced to transportation, but had sub sequently been discharged. Mr. Elliott remarked that there could be hut very little doubt that Evans had beeu cognisant of the rubbery, but as the prosecutor did not swear to her identity, he should give her the benefit of the doubt ; but Kent, about whose guilt there could be no doubt, ho should commit to prison for 21 days.
