TO OUR ItZADIRIL s voIITING LVIIILLIOViCF- A !ate ~liti..o of the Liras is published every m o oi n g .11aria$4 the racing se sow containing the results el the day's Meg. LAXT Friday we drew attention to the largeness of the autos whiilt the working classes are able to throw away iti strikes, the readiness with which I for a cherished purpose they can make immense sacrifices of labour and money. Two-and-twenty thousand pounds were spent on the Builders' Strike of 18:i9-60. And the workmen of the Lon don trades have just resolved to pay &pound a week to each of two hundred and fifty masons who refuse to work melee the "hour system." Few persons can have reflected on these facts without a feeling of sorrow, awl almost of humiliation at so much voluntary wade of power. of the large expendi ture two years ago nothing remains but the vouchers. No workman was a farthing the better for it. It will be the same with the money now being subscribed for the masons voluntarily unoccu pied. That handful of men will absorb large sums of hard-earned money for a time, and then, when either their comrades are tired of subscribing, or they themselves are ashamed of leading an idle life, they will go to work. Many who are not anxious to be judges in the dispute between the masters and the men are asking why should this waste, and what is worse, this morel degradation, go on? The workmen are discontented with the existing relations between labour and capital : they say that in the distribu tion of the products they do not get their fair share. It is this feeling that underlies their ever-recurring strikes. They are undoubtedly wrong in looking at the connexion of master and workman as a partnership, instead of as one which is determined simply by exchange—but let that pies. Let us take the men in the attitude and with the disposition in which we find them. And we are at once struck with the fact that while quarrelling with capital they have the source of capital in their hands. That source is not labour, as some delusively tell them, but abstinence. They are now abstaining from the enjoyment of the fruits of industry to keep two hundred and fifty good workmen from doing work that is wanted. But in the very act of depriving themselves of the money they waste it in expenditure even more un productive than the wages of the man in plush who jumps up behind a rich man's carriage. Suppose now that instead of devoting the money to prolong idleness, they were to combine it to employ labour —make capital of it. Two hundred and fifty pounds a week is a thousand pounds a month ; and the sum might be doubled or quadrupled were an end proposed adequate to the effort. This, it will be said, is co-operation. It is, and co-operation—the formation of societies of working men, acting on their own account, without the intervention of an employer, and dividing the whole profits of their labour—is what we re commend. Not absolutely ; not as that which has been scientifically ascertained to be su perior to individual competition as a meats of combining capital and labour and distri buting their joint produce, but rather acknow ledging it to be an inferior system, and yet for all that the best one to follow under the circum stances. Some of these circumstances we will briefly mention. In the first place, the spirit of elms association is at this time stronger among the workmen of England than it his been at any pre vious period of our history, and it insists on taking form and body. A writer in the Weshaissater Ra view, Professor Dustier, in an article defending the principle of trades unions, tells us that " the feeling of working men, whether " unionists or not, is almost unanimous in favour "of the societies ;" that " the men actually en " rolled in those bodies are the very flower of the " trade ;" and that " their leaders are, as a re " neral rule, able and high minded men." As instances of their aptitude iu dealing with large /UM of money, lie mentions that in 1858 the Amalgamated Engineers expended 82,3261., re taining a balance of 28,7221. The income of the Mmons' Society is about 15,0001. a year. Sums of this magnitude are handled by men earning thirty or thirty-five shillings a week. The circum stance that we are compelled to regard Professor Berm-yen argument as radically defective, and the tendency of his article pernicious, does not blind ua to the evidence he brings forward es to the strength of the associative principle among the classes who live by bodily labour. That principle will assert itself. Hitherto, we hold, it has led to much idleness and waste. It is time it should appear as a constructive power. The ems of the builders seems to be one in which a co operative society would supply an organ adapted to the circumstances of the trade, and capable of taking up the labour which the present dispute has divorced from capital. The very fact of the dwatufaction of the work men with the results of the prevailing relation of capital and labour, apart from all question as to its reasonableness, makes the institution of • co operative society for the working builders desira ble. It is in vain to reason with excited clam feelings, and worse than vain to ►ppeal to what is called "public opinion" against the men. Such ap peals have hitherto been made on the ground of a supposed interest in society adverse to the workmen. The general community has first been made au interested party in the dispute, and then appealed to for an impartial judgment. Such procedure, of course, only envenoms Om strife. It is not by waggon loads of tracts on political economy TH:l4_ zuPREps, qmasp.ior RVENIWG; OCTOBWL 2.2-, 186 k showered upon them from above r not 13y leapt articles in middle-clam newspapers that the wielt ing classes will be influenced. They will cherilli their errors until forced to abandon them by ex perience ; and it seems to us that this experiment of co-operation for purposes of production is one which they are bound to undertake. They impeach the presentsystemof combining labour with capital. They do not hesitate to accuse it of robbery. We have shown that they have the sources of capital in their hands; surely they are bound to prove that there are more equitable means of uniting capital with labour than that which they arraign. If in the course of the experiment they should ascertain that they have been ascribing to the mere power of capital results—i. r., profits—which are due to another source, they will gain as much as any class by the knowledge acquired. A very short trial would suffice to show them how little mere money can do to make the application of labour fertile, and how much the success of the capitalist depends on his commercial discernment, skill in organizing labour, his rapid intuitions, his deci sive combinations, and the faculty of substituting upon occasion his individual moral responsibility foe costly material guarantees. Perhaps it might be found that co-operative societies, lacking lien advantages, which cannot be bought or hired, would fail before the competition of the individual capitalist. But in that case the unreasonableness of many complaints we now hear would be demon strated. Granting, however, that co-operation can never rival individual competition, the existence of co operative societies, side by side with productive or ganizations of the ordinary kind, would be not only good for the workman but good for society. It would be much if the workman felt ho was no longer shut up to a system which ho has come to regard as unjust. It is well that men should have options in whatever can be the object of choice, excepting only that which is immoral. The tendency to association would probably reconcile many work men to a low rate of profit if all were satisfied that whatever was made was fairly divided. If such' societies removed the uneasiness which the working classes from time to time betray, their existence would be justified, although they should come short of the economical efficiency by turns ascribed and denied to them. On the principles now generally acknowledged, and stigmatised as selfish by some advisers of the working classes, we should not expect to find the able and self-reliant associating themselves with this form of enterprise. But we are told on high authority that we aro not competent judges of the character of the working classes, that we under-estimate the power of their fraternal feelings, that, in fact, they have " broader and wiser views of the future of society " than most of their fellow-citizens ; and this " because they can count upon • moral and social " sentiment among themselves which the upper " cleave have ceased to experience, and therefore "to believe in." If the fact is so, the (1i(, of the workmen ought to be found in co-operative societies, compensating by their superior ability the shortcomings of their weaker brethren. For our own parts wo do not look for any radical revolu tion either in the character of mankind or the organization of industrial enterprise. But we see in co-operation an alternative system of produc tion and distribution consistent with the rights and freedom of individuals and with the funda mental laws of industry, capable of correcting many prejudicial errors of the working classes, and of teaching thorn practically the causes and conditions of production, and in any case a better way of spending money than strikes. LATZER mum. THE KING OF PRVIRIA AND 4IS ARMY. The Prussian Mouiteur states that the following are the exact words addressed the other day by the King of Prussia to the Generals and chiefs of the regiments after the ttags had been taken to the Chateau : I have uaembled you here to take part in a fete which is one of the rarest in history. A moment like this is necessarily preceded by a great mourning, and the whole heart of the country has indeed been profoundly moved. Now we direct your gaze coafidently towards heaven, hoping that it will bless and protect Prussia. A similar scene to that which we shall have immediately has never been witnessed, and will not be easily repeated. I have assembled the nap, and you, gentlemen, as the principal generals of Mu army, and all the chiefs of the regiments, to be witnesses, in the name of the army, of the important solemnity we ate about to celebrate. It is from the hands of God that the crown has come to me, and when I shall take it from the altar to put it on my head, it is His blessing which will preserve it to me. The army is called upon to defend it, and the kings of Prussia have never seen the fidelity of the army shaken. It Is the army which in the days of unhappy storms recently saved the King and justice, and made them secure. I also rely upon its fidelity and devotion, if it should be my let to make an appeal against enemies, come from what side they may. It is with this immovable confidence that I, as King, and as military corn. minder, regard my army. To von, M. Field-Marshal, I give you my hand far all present, who are all cherished in my heart. Field-31andial Baron de Wrangel replied as fol lows : —" We are profoundly touched by the King's words, and by the sight of these numerous flags and standards. We are grateful to your Majesty not only fur baring summoned us as witnesses of this imposing solemnity, but also for your great work —the augmentation of the army ; and I feel that I have a right to say, in the name of all, that each one of us burns to prove his gratitude by his acts!' The municipality of Berlin have addressed a notice to the inhabitants of Berlin, inviting them to keep order without the participation of the police on the day of the King's entry into the city. The following is the full text of the King's speech at the Coronation : By the Grace of God, Prussia's Kings have worn the crown for 160 years. I am the first King who has ascended the throne since it has been surrounded by institutions adapted to the times. But, mindful that the crown comes only from God, I have, by my coronation at the holy altar, manifested to Him that I have received it in all humility from His hand.. The prayers of my people, I know, hare been with me in this sole= act, that the blessing of the Almighty may net upon my government. The love and attachment that have been testified to me since my ascent of the throne, and that now have just been manifested to me in so eminent a manner, are guarantees to me that I may reckon, under all circum stances, upon the fidelity of my people, and upon he submission (hillyeGunfl) and its readiness to make mac:ri bcage. Confident in the same, I have been able to exempt my faithful people from the ancient oath of hereditary allegiance and submission (ErbAuldiguisga•mitd-Unterthanen• Sid). The gratifying proofs of that love and attachment lately given to me ou the occasion of a momentous event (the Baden attempt) have confirmed that confidence. May God's providence long preserve the blessings of peace to our beloved native land. My brave army will protect it from dangers from without. From internal dangers Prussia will be preserved, for the throne of her kings stands firm in its might and in its right, and if the unity between King and people, which has made Prussia great, endures, so shall we —may God grant it !--be able to withstand, upon the path of sworn ri‘hts, the dangers of an agitated time and every threntosing storm." sons who had amity been arrested were the son' of Count Zamoidi and other leading citizens.

ENGLISH NEWS FROM PARIS. PARIS, Ocr. 21. - . . . The Patric of this evening says : " The English Admiralty has decided upon iron plating the ships which are already built. Should the experiment prove successful, England could in one year have 20 iron-plated ships. " The Admiralty has also determined to execute numerous defensive works in the English possessions in India, China, the Red Sea, and the Straits of Malacca" THE N.VPRISS OP AUSTRIA AT CORM. A letter from Corfu of the 14th says :—Opo Emperor of Austela sniffed here yesterday quite incogftso repairing direct to the country house occupied by the Em press, without passing through the town of Corfu. Al though it had been known for some days that his Majesty would arrive on the Sunday morning, and the steamer WWI early visible threading its way across from the onset of Albania, its approach was not Wed by • salute, the wish to preserve • strict incognito having evidently previously been intimated to the authorities. In the afternoon their Majesties drove to town in • carriage and pair, wholly unattended, and, after calling at the Palace and taking a turn round the pretty Enplaned., and a drive in the country, returned again to their villa in the evening. The Emperor's visit to Corfu will be but of brief duration—a week at the utmost. The health of the Empress has greatly improved, and from leading the life of a recluse she has gradually extended her excursions to the country and town of Corfu. In the evenings, which are now cool and pleasant the great heat having considerably abited, she may be seen taking • stroll, accompanied by a single maid of honour and her faithful four-footed pets, two noble deerhounds. She also indulges in daily drives to the moat picturesque sights in the island, and is a constant attendant at the little opera house. It is settled that she remains the winter here, and as soon as the Lord High Commissioner proceeds on his visit to the southern islands, which be has de layed on account of the Emperor's arrival, she will remove from the country to the government Palace in town. Francis Joseph was seen this morning as early as 6 o'clock smoking • cigar on the Esplaaade, and in the afternoon, while paying a visit to the Princess Tour et Taxis, who is staying at an hotel situated there, he seemed much interested at the movements of the 2nd battalion of the 7th Regiment, who were at drill, and remained on the Esplanade for some time watching them. His visit to Corfu being so strictly private, there is little to relate respecting it, and, indeed, the same may also be said of the lonian Islands in general just now, as with the exception of a late outbreak in the civil prison, we have had nothing of an exciting nature to en liven the hot summer months. Politics are just now at • standstill. Mr. Drummond Wolff, the government secre tary, hes returned from a visit to the National Exhibition at Florence, and is earnest in assisting the Committee of the lonian Association in getting ready specimens for the great London Exhibition of next year."

The Prase of Vienna announces that the Duke of Modena, wishing to free himself from the expenses of the maintenance of his little army, solicits its incorporation with the Austrian army. It seems that in the last Austrian budget a credit of 1,000,000 florins was put down for the support of the troops of the Duke of Mo dena. This allowance provoked the strongest remonstrances from the Austrian press, and had the forces referred to remained independent, the Council of the Empire would have rejected another such vote. BELL I UM. The Belgian journals announce the resignation of M. de Vribre, Minister of Foreign Affairs. "The hon. minister, like M. Frbre Orbin," says the Journal de Brufes, " till not wish to present him self before the Chambers as minister until the re cognition of the kingdom of Italy had taken pleas." POLAND. We have now before us the proclamation which the Governor of Warsaw lately published in execu tion of the decree promulgating the state of siege. This document, in addition to the provisions usual in such rases, contains a certain number of mea sures affecting youth and even children. It says : "Boys are hereby forbidden to be lounging and idling about the streets ; and, in case of any so offending, their parents, guardians, masters, or employers shall be responsible for their conduct. Students and collegians are forbidden to leave their homes without necessity, or to frequent places of public resort. The parents and guardians of these young people are required to keep careful watch over their conduct both at home and abroad ; manu facturers or masters who have workmen or appren tices must not let them go out without good cause, and under no pretext after 9 at night." As to crowds, they are forbidden even in cue of fire. (turn's Ts/squats.) FRANCE. PARIS. Oar. 22.

Grandguillut's dismissal from the Constitutionnel. Many people take it for granted that it is on account of the diffi culty into which he has got the French govern ment by the article upon Genevan affairs. He has found a refuge in the less considerable journal, the Pays, which announces that he is from this day forth redacteur en chef, M. Paulin Limayrac accepting a subordinate place in the Constitationnet, under Dr. Veron. The Bourse is much better. Rente rose 20c. both for cash and account, closing at %fr. 15c. and Gar. 20c. Mobilier rose 12fr. 50c. The Italian Loan rose 25fr. The railways were a trifle higher, but the upward movement was much lees marked than in the Rente. It is said that all thorny questions, that of Rome included, " stand over," and some think that the Emperor will shortly make some sort of manifestation, calculated to induce a belief that he does not think of war. Some of the French journals, overwhelmed by the authority of a statement published by the Anti de la Be/igion, and which is said to have received the sanction of the French ambassador, M. de Gratuont, now admit that Locatelli wan really the author of the murder for which he was executed. But the Prate gives a f a in report of the trial and subsequent proceedings, from which it appears that when Mgr. Sagutti, the President of the Sacred Consults, presented the sentence of death to the Pope, he said, " May it please your Holiness, here is the sentence against Locatelli. I am but fulfilling a conscientious duty when I observe to you that the crime was commit ted at night in the midst of a crowd, and that the witnesses may very likely have been mistaken ; this, therefore, seems to be a cane for the exercise of a clemency %Lich may deliver us from the danger of committing a great injustice." The Pope's answer was that the scafiold should be erected. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, Ocr. 21. _ _ _ The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Tagus, Captain Ball. with the above mails, arrived this afternoon. She brings 10 passengers, 7 packages sFecie, value 2,200/. ; also 2.2 half chests oranges, 22 boxes pome granates, 206 boxes eggs, 18 live oxen, and 24 packages sundries. On the 20th the Tagus spoke the steamship Iberia and the Peninsular and Oriental Company's. steamship Ceylon. The Itoyal flail Company's steamer 511uplalena, with the outward mails of the 9th, arrived at Lisbon on the 14th, and sailed for the Brazils at 8 a.m. on the 15th inst.

An ingenious inventor in France,uatnett Basin, has produced a new mode of communication between the PINIKAgerI and the guard of a railway train. Each canine is provided with a bell and a rand; when a cord is palled the latter is set free, and, turniag rapidly by the peerage of the train through the air, works the clapper of the bell, and at the same time brings a coloured flag into view. The person who pulled the cord is indicated by the fact that the latter is displaced until the alarm is nest. A Rat misfortune seems to be impending over the magnificent old ruins of Heidelberg Cud', in oensequence of, the railway tunnel whirl is being taken through the hill upon which the ancient building stands.

In the lower parts of the structure, as in the ch►pel, and especially in the cellar with the peat tun, the injuries are toms con siderable than in the upper apartments. With • view to inquiring into the muse and extent of the damage, and the prevention of further mischief, • eornmiesion has been convened by Herr von Bayer, the conservator of Baden antiquities. . . . . Pastor Harms, a protestant missionary, at a late meeting in Hanover, treated his Hanoverian hearers to as animated description of the negro chiefs of the coast of Guinea. A short time ago, it seems, an immense slaughter of subjects had been indulged in by one of these native heroes on the death of his father. The occurrence an worked upon the heart of the pious orator as to sense the delivery of the following wonderful effusion —" There are men (said the Hanoverian Gamaliel) who say, 'We do not want a king any longer, we will have no more kings ; and if you ask them, ' What have you spinet your kings? than they reckon up ► whole catalogue of crimes and offences. Such people should be seat to Halllrlasid, to be put in the hands of these men-slaughtering chiefs; then they would sow learn to appreciate the benign treatment which they receive at the hands of our kings." A Hanoverian journal remarks upon this :—" There would seem, however, to be still something very dreadful in the state of things here, if ens must be mat to &Arland in order to recognise the beasnowscs of the present race of crowned heads." AN ALPINE OBSERVATION. Professor Tyndall writes :—" Many years ago Mr. William Hopkins, of Cambridge, pointed to the state of the rocks over which glaciers bad passed as conclusive evidence that these vast muses of ice moved bodily along their beds. Those rocks are known to have their angles rasped off, and to be fluted and scarred by the ice which has passed over them. Such appearances, indeed, constitute the entire evidence of the former existence of glaciers in this and other countries, discussed in the writings of Veneta, Charpen tier, Agiusiz, Buckland, Dar win, Ramsay, and other eminent men. I have now to offer • proof of the sliding of the ice exactly comple mentary to the above. Suppose a glacier to be • plastic mass, which did not slide, stud suppose such a glacier to be turned upside down, so as to expose its under surface ; that surface would bear the impression of its bed, exactly as melted wax bears the impression of a seal. The mo tuberant rocks would make hollows of their own shape in the ice, and the depressions of the bed would be matched by protuberances of their own shape on the under surface of the glacier. But suppose the mass to slide over its bed, these exact impressions would no longer exist ; the protu berances of the bed would then form longitudinal furrows, while the depressions of the bed would produce longitudinal ridges. From the former state of things we might infer that the bottom of the glacier is stationary, while from the latter we should certainly infer that the whole mass slides over ire bed. In descending from the summit of the Weigshorn, on the 11th of August last, I found, near the flanks of one of its glaciers, a portion of the ice completely roofing a hollow, over which it bad been urged without being squeezed into it. A con siderable area of the under surface of the glacier was thus exposed, and the ice of that surface was more finely fluted than ever I have observed rocks to be. Had the tool of a cabinetmaker passed over it, nothing more regular and beautiful could have been executed. Furrows and ridges ran side by side in the direction of the motion, and the deeper and larger ones were chased by finer lines, produced by the smaller and sharper asperities of the bed. The ice was perfectly unweathered, and the white dust of the rocks over which it had chidden, amid which it bad abraded in its passage, still clung to it. The fact of sliding bas been hitherto inferred from the action of the glacier upon the rocks ; the above observation leads to the same inference from the action of the rocks upon the glacier. As stated at the outset, it is • complementary proof that the glacier moves bodily over its bed." A Trappist named Delalot-Sevin, of the Abbeys de Grace-Dien, has made • discovery which may produce • revolution in the system of lighting and heating public and private buildings. He has invented a now pile, much stronger, and at the same time much cheaper, than the pile of Bunsen. By means of his photo-electric appa ratus he produces an electric light as cheap as gas, and with his thermo-electric pile he supplies caloric on economic termshitherto unknown. Several of these apparatus have been constructed, and one is at full work in the Abbaye of La Genoa-Dieu. Manufactories for the public are shortly to be established in Paris and at Lyons. The inven tor has been authorised to make public experiments with his system of lighting on the Place Saint Jacques in Paris, sad on the Place Belleuourt at Lyons. Tox LATE LORD EOLINTON.—Few public men (says the Freeman's Journal) have passed away amid so many and such general regrets as the late Earl of Relate°. During his career in Ireland the late lamented nobleman won the highei.t opiuinns from all classes, and in his unceas ing and successful efforts to create • transatlantic packet etatiou on the west coast of Ireland be has left a noble memorial of the benefit. au eoeygetic statesman can confer on a rising people, and created a lasting claim on the grafi tute of the Irish mos. As a politician Lord Eglinton was staunch to his party—but as a viceroy be was not the less staunchly a friend of this country because his politics dif fered from those of the majority of the people whom he governed. It is with no small satisfaction, then, that we have learned that a movement is about to be inaugurated in Ireland to raise some lasting memorial of the respect In which he was held, and of the regret created by his prema ture death. Is this movement all classes will unite, for amongst all there is a deep sense of respect for the lamented nobleman, and of well.meritral gratitude for his services to this country. THE LATE SIR WILLIAM PERL.--Sorne little time back there was a stained glass window put in the chancel of Scaly church in Meinory of the late lira Richardson, now on the opposite side has teen placed • beautiful white marble statue of the late Sir William Peel in his uniform, in the act of drawing the sword from the scab bard, of full life size, placed on a pedestal of vein marble about 4 feet high, with the following inscription :—" In memory of Captain Sir William Peel, R.N., K.C.8., third son of the Bight Hon. Sir Robert Peel, the illus trious statesman. He was horn November 2nd, 1824, entered the navy at the age of 13, and gave early promise of future eminence, which though he did at the age of El. he lived long enough to achieve.

THE EASTERN FISHERIIDI.—More cheerful re ports are made with regard to the progress of the herring fishery on the eastern coast. The Yarmouth market has been well supplied with fresh herrings, and in consequence of the augmented deliveries prices have declined to an average of 131. per last. It is expected that • large export trade will be again done this year, although the returns Twilled in 1860 were not all that could be desired. At Lowestoft • large quantity of trawl fish are being dolly landed, and the reeeipta of herrings have been very con siderable, the catches per boat ranging from one last to seven lasts per boat. One day last week 110 lasts and 6,800 fish were brought into the port, or altogether 9,159,400 fish, a last being 100 hundred; and the hun dreds being reckoned, with • liberality exceeding that of • baker's dozen, at 132. The prices obtained have approxi. mated closely to those realised at Yarmouth.

This was the examination meeting. The accounts, prepared by Mr. Smart, show debts of 3,308/. ;(probable assets, 5001. or 6001. Mr. C. E. Lewis, for the assignees, offered no opposition to the bankrupt Coniham passing. The other bankrupt, not having rurreudered, will be proclaimed. IN IteHAIIIIIAN.--QUESTIOIi UNDER THE NEW ACC.

Mr. Solomon tendered • proof on behalf of • creditor resident abroad, supported by his agent, who was allowed by the new act to prove. His Honour held that all pending proceedings must be wound up under the old act, and that consequently the proof must be made in the ordinary way. The examination meeting was adjourned. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) SINGULAR CAS& William Brown was placed at the bar to receive the jaip meat of the court. This prisoner pleaded guilty at the last wesions to a charge of steeling twelve bullocks from Plaistow Marshes, and It appeased that he was found driving the cattle along the high road, and when questioned upon the subject, he gave two or three contradictory statements. The most sin- gular part of the case is that the prisoner appeared at the time to have been in good circumstances, holding a position as sub-contractor in the budding trade. It was urged on the prisoner's behalf that he could not have known what be was about at the time of the occurrence, and that lie had hitherto borne a very good character. Judgment was accordingly deferred, in order that some inquiries might be made. _ _ . Sleigh, who again appeared for the prisoner, urged this in the prisoner's favour, and said the very fact a the prisoner being iu a good position was enough to establish the fact that he could not have known what he was doing, and, under these circumstances, his lordship would be justified in passing a lenient sentence. Mr. Cooper, who appeared for the prosecution, said he thought it right to mention that the twelve cattle in q nee. tion were not the only ones that bad been missed. There had been twelve taken from one place, six' from another, and two oxen and twelve sheep from another place, and since th e prisoner had been apprehended there had been on other robberies. Tho Reconler said that he had requested • medical gen. Haman to watch the prisoner, and his communications did not ►t all strengthen the idea that was entertained upon the last occasion. 'rhe Me was very much aggravated by the fact that the prisoner was in employment at the time, which should have kept him teem temptation. He sentenced the prisoner to three years' penal servitude. AIM Hiller, 19, was charged with a burglary in the dwelling-house of Walter Mailer, and stealing some costa, a quantity of plate, and other articled, value 70!., his property. Zhucase was of a very singular nature. It appeared that during the mouth of duly last a great many burglaries were committed about Clapham-common and its neigh• bourhood, and though the police made every exertioe they had been totally unable to dismver a due to the perpetrators, until the 2dril of September but, when the prisoner went to a police-sergeant, named Shepherd, and told him that she had come to give him some information respecting the burglaries which had been committed. She then went on to say that the robberies had been com mitted by a man named Barnes, or Barney, with whom she lived at the time, and she Lad waited outside for him while he committed the robberies ; and she likewise stated that she had pawned the property for Lim by his directions. The police-con stable inquired of her what motive she Lad in Barnes iving him such inforutation. She replied that B had illused her very much of late, and she showed him bruises upon her arms, which she said were the consequences of his brutal treat ment, and in consequence of that she wanted to get him out of the way. After making this statement the ' prisoner went away, and a few days afterwards she met the same constable and told Lim that the statement she had made on the previous occiaion was not true. She admitted that she had pawned the property, but said that she did not want to get Barnes into trouble. Worioe, who defended the prisoner, said that the prisoner had entertained a very strong feeling of attach ment towards the mau Barnes, and under some feeling of jealousy, arising from some supposed neglect, she had taken the course in question as a means of revenge and made the statement to the officer, but afterwards thinking better upon the subject, she iaLnitted that the statement was entirely false. The Recorder having summed up, the jury after a few minutes' deliberation found the prisoner Guilty of feloniously receiving the property knowing it to have been stolen. Evidence was then given that the prisoner had been before convicted of felony and that she was the constant associate of thieves. _ The Recorder enuteueed her to three yesn' penal servitude. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Serjeant.) William (Rorer, ?.8, labourer was indicted for havini in his possession a mould for the : manufacture of oounteneit coin. Mr. Cooke and Mr. J.

SURREY SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Tilson.) INWRZBREAKING AND RODDERT. Dennis Col l ins, 21,A1 iehael Orange y, 23, and James Leash 22, were indicted for breaking and entering the warehouse .if Edward Joseph, in Sing's Head•yanl, Tooley-street, and stealing therefrom upwards of 2 cwt. of fat, his property. Mr. Jenionett prosecuted, and Mr. Ltlley defended the pricouen. roliee-conetatile 154 111 said that about 2 o'clock on the morning of the 2xth ult. he was on duty in Tooley-street, when ho saw a quantity of tallow or fat strewed about the pavement, and he traced it to a warehouse in King's Head yard. He then discovered that the latter place had been broken into, and the iron bars of the window wrenched off. lie immediately gave information at the station-house, and Mr. Joseph was sent for. Witness bad seen the prisoners loitering about, between 12 and 1, and he warned them away. Sergeant Arson ' 9 31, said he examined the prosecutor's premises. and traced the fat to No. 5. Brewer's-alley, Bermondsey-atreet. Having gained admission he found the prisoners in a back room with their clothes covered with fat. Under the bed he discovered a large bag full of fat, which he took possession of, and handed the prisoners over to the custody of other constables. The prosecutor deposed that he purchased a large quantity of fat at the late fire in Tooley-street, and stowed it away in his warehouse in King's Head-yard. He left the pre- Imam securely fastened up on the evening of the 27th ult.. but on the next morning be found that the place bad been broken into and a large quantity of fat stolen. He believed that the fat produced by the officers was his property. Mr. Lilley addressed the jury at some length on behalf of the prisoners, contending that there was no proof that they bad entered the prosecutor's warehouse, or that they had stolen his fat. In fact, there was no proof that it was hie fat. The Jury found them Guilty and sentence was deferral. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) THAMES. TEL WRZILBAIROW THIEF.
