Whoa it was knows that the writer of this letter did not return to Weymouth, bu: that his departure from her on the 2nd of February was the commencement of • total equa tion, which has ever sine continued—a s. aeration equally wilted sad stesseens on his part—such a composition wmq seem 'to be is the last degree perplexing.

The power of the "servant of the Lord" over Mr.Themu's mind seems to hue continued sad to continue undiminished, although Mrs. Thomas appears to have been cured. It is is such • state of things that Mrs. 'Tomas has within the last three months been endeavouring, and still avows an inten tion, to acquire the possession and custody of the person of her son, which would, of course, involve the care sad direction of his education. Now considering the boy's age, the re spectability of the Maim that shelters him, sad tbs seas aside, which he is, I am not sure that if there were whin is the case but these and the other facts that I have men tioned, it would be proper to dismiss the petition, especially as it k probable that a sufficient provision will be made far the maintenance and education of the petitioner,independeatly of any anemia from his father. But there are other facts of importance, before proceediag to which I would ask specie tieap, how, it the father shall nave the perm and ditties of ianship, is be from his lemma to provide properly for child's maintenance and 'dunks. This question, whim the wife's unquestionable title toalintosy, and her husband's einamelmen are remembered, mast probably be of very dank solution.

The particulars, however, of the Appeinonians' esoteric existeses, being not open to general observation, are little, if at all known beyond their own boundary ; but to works of usefulness or charity without, they are not, so far as can collect, addicted. Now this is the establishment in which Mr. Thomas ha for a con siderable time been, end is one of the dweller. He has, I apprehend, no other home, and thither accordingly, I sup pose, that he would take his eon. But God forbid that I should be memory to condemning any child to such • state of probable debasement. As id would I have on my conscience the cosigning of this boy to a camp of Riosies. It may be suggested, however, he may possibly be willing and able to find some other abode for his son, and it has seemed to me proper, upon that supposition, and otherwise, to consider whether Mr. Thomas has or has not opinions upon important points such as to disqualify him in this country for the guardianship of an English child. In the fist place, I think it right to my that lam satisfied with his denial of believing the • servant of the Lord" to he a deity or not .f the human nature, but that I doubt whether Mr. Thomas', mind is entirely free from participa tion In certain views concerning the " servant of the Lord" not very dissimilar to the °onion. entertained concerning an eminent personage of the seventh century by 1 , them who consider that personage a prophet, .and that I doubt. moreover, whether a man who, having been ordained a minister of religion as a Christian in a Christian I immunity, hu dionnedly and systematically given up attending any place of w.ritip, whatever his private feelings may be, and whatever hymns he may sing, ought in any Icondition of circumstances to be permitted in this country to have the guardianship or can of an English child, for whose maintenance and education there exist any ether means of providing, though the child be hie own. But that particular question I think it Lot in the present instance necessary to decide, and I wish to be understood se giving •no opinion upon it. However this may be, I appre ; head that, in England, • man who holds the opinion that prayer, I mean prayer in the genes of intreaty and supplication to the Almighty is no part of duty, but is superfluous ; who cons:der, moreover, that there is not any day of the we. k which ought to be ob served as a Sabbath—as a day of peculiar rest, or se one of peculiar holiness or is any manner distinct from other days —must be deemed to entertain opinions noxious to society, adverse to civilisation, opposed to the usages of Christendom, contrary (in the ease of prayer at least) to the term, command of the New Testament, and, finally, pernicious in the highest degree to any young person unhappy enough to he imbued with them, I ear, in England—if this is a just view of such opinions, they mast disqualify him who avows them, and carries them into practice, for the education, and, in my judgment, for the guardianship e f an English child, whether his own son or any other — it toeing most improbable that these opinions will cot be communicated to the child—that the child will maps the infection—that be will remain 'nitrated. But these opinions ere avowed by Mr. Thomas to be his. He tarries them into practice. He has not professed any intention of not communicating them to his ion, if placid under has charge; and had such an inten tion been expressed, I should, I own, have thought it of impossible or very improbable performance. In this respect I might found myself perhaps . alone on his address tor* covet delivered upon the hearing of the petition, to which I listened earehlly. Whether upon or without con sitination of that address, however, I view the affidavits as containing evidence decisive on this point—evidence some ravages in which I think it right to state in the very words ; and first I take up two affidavits of six of the Agspenas.nians. Thee of these six described themselves as clerks—that is, clergymen, , one being. I believe, the brother-in.law of the . servant of the Lord," who is not a deponent in either of these affidavits, nor • witness at all ; but his wife is one of the six whom I have jut mentioned. This lady describes bend! as Julia Prince, wife of Henry James Prince, of she same place, clerk (" the same place" being Appemone). There is also another lady among the six who all depose thus. They gay and affirm that " The statement that the said Henry James Prince and his followers, as asserted in the petition, used expressions of CM. tempt and derision with regard to the Holy Scriptures, is • wicked, hideous, and diabolical lie, which they cannot too iedignently repel. That the said Henry Janes Prince was sot in the habit of stating at any meetings to the persons assembled that all their relations and hire's who ail not acknowledge the Spirit of God in him would be eternally damned. That it is utterly false and a wicked perversion of truth that people were admitted to the tea meeting upon the grounds of their rejoicing in the damnation of their friends. That the moral conduct of the said George Robin son Thomas is, and always has been, most exemplary and fen from every imputation, and feu manners mild and gen- I tlesualy. That deponents and others amused them. salvos in various ways, both for health and exer. 1 ciao, and that they sometimes play at " kinky " i which is not a game like football, and which deponents 1 consider very ridiculous to be obliged to refer to ; that depo runts do not regard one day from another, hut every day 1 alike, but each unto the Lord ; that the said Henry James I Prince has not propounded any blasphemous or irregular I doctrines, and to as that he has • divine character and is I a proper object of worship, is a blasphemous libel and hide. 1 out lie ; that the servants of the said Unary James Prince have by his direction threatened to let loos* the blood hounds upon any one coming within the walls, is a direct falsehood. That deponents are not under the influence or control of the said Henry James Prince, but enjoy the mast perfect liberty; their life Is the purity of truth, their dwelling the rest of holy love, and their delight the glory of God, their peace is like a river, and their strength the munition of rocks." I have rad from one only of these two affidavits, because what I have read from it represents with substantial exact ness corresponding passages in the other. Mr. Thomas's three sisters who are in the establishment have joined in an affidavit in these terms: "They say that they us the sisters of Agnes Thomas, the mother of the infant; that they did in the year 1842 attend the ministry of the Rev. Henry Jams Prince at Stoke, near Clare, Suffolk, and were greatly blared by it. That they ware also privileged to visit the said Henry James Prince and the Rev. Samuel Starkie, at their residence, but :that they were eta requestedby the said Henry James Prince and the Rev. Samuel Star ke, or either of them, to do so, them deponents most solemnly deny ; that, on the contrary, it was the constant sad repeated request of deponents, and of the said Agnes Thomas, that they might be allowed to do so. That the preaching of the said Henry James Prince was in truth, in simplicity, and in power ; that his godliness was real, his exhortations faithful, but that he or the said Samuel Stern ever assured deponents that in order to become true Christians they mast disregard the advice of their parents and other mem bens of their family, and obey the directions of the said Heary James Prince, is a gross falsehood ; the deponents Harriet Lancaster Price and Clara Cobb say that deponents married their respective husbands, not by the command, or at the request of the said Rev. Henry James Prince, but Rarely of their own free choice. But that the said Henry eases Prince extorted from either a promise to marry, is a gross falsehood. That the said Hoary ]. Prince was not prams at their interview with the said Emily Nottidge and rederick Peter Ripley, at Swansea, nor was he at that tkaa a t Swan sea, but at such interview, mat all other thr.ea, they sate d aa . ending to their own free and unhttared will. That deponents were informed, by the direction of the said Henry James Prince, that there was no longer any occasion for their read ing the Bible, as their husband': were now their Bibles, and that deponents couldnow through them the wt.:, of God, as made kaorgra to them by the said Henry James Prince, is false. That deponents and the mid Agnes Thomas wen not compelled to neploy themselves the greater part of the night of the 4th of February, 1846, in packing their husbands' clothes; nor were they engaged in such packing more than one hour, the things required being linen, &e.., for a few days; and that they never understood that they were not to see their has. bands again; that the said Anse Thomas was not treated rudely or harshly by the said Thomas Williams, in the month of February, 1846, but that, in consequence of her temper and disposition at the time there could be no plow ant oomounicatioe between her and those residing in the muse home ; and that the said Agnes Thonias fre quently acknowledged to deponents that she was in a state of rebellion against Orod, and upwind a desire openly to acknowledge it, for tha example of others.

Deponents say that ever the said Henry James Prim and his followers have asserted in the petition used expressions of contempt and derision with respect to the Holy Scriptures, is a wicked, hideous, and diabolical lie, and which they cannot too indignantly repel. That It is false that mid Henry Jaime Prince was in the habit of stating, or ever did state to the perso-s assembled at the meetings of the people, that all their rela tions and friends who did not acknowledge the spirit of God in him would be eternally damned; and that it is utterly false and a wicked perversion of truth that people were al - - witted to the tea menhir upon the /Tomas of their rejuic leg in thedunnation of their friends. That the moral conduct of the said George Robinson Thomas is most exemplary and free from the slightest imputation, and his miners mild sod gentlemanly. That the raid Henry James Prim has not propounded soy blasphemous or irreligious doctrines ; and to assert that he teaches his followers that he has a divine chancier, and is a proper object of worship, and that his followers treat him as a proper object of w...rship, is a bia:. phemons libel and a hideous lie. That persons, not bring followers of the said Henry James Prince, Lave for some time past, by his direct:on, been carefully prevented from coming within the wall surrounding the Agapemone ; and that he keeps in the outbuildings at tached th bloodhounds, which Ins servants, by his direc tion, threaten to let loose upon any one coming within such wall without his permission, is a direct lie. That deponents are not under the icfluence or control of the said Henry James Prince. That they enjoy the most perfect liberty. That they lice in the truth of purity, delight in the sweet ness of solid peace, and dwell in the fellowship of holy love. That they can, and do, and will testify, to the kindness. the parity, and the truth of all within the Agapenone,where God, and Oodealone, is tLe bsg:nning,the fultess,and the end of all." Mrs. Thomaa whose rAdavit I have considered receivable upon a pr see ding of the present nature, though her husband is the respondent, deposes se :—" That during the latter part of 1845, the said Henry James Prince was in the habit of heldicg meetings at various vain' near Wey mouth, whereat he aid his leading followers preached, ant that sosnetimi • one and sometimes another of the said Geo.

And 1 have been informed, and verily believe, that the men and many of the women resident in the said building, called Aga pemone, have, by the direction of the said Henry James Prince, ndopted and pursued a practice together at varisus • athletic games, and among others at a game called hockey (end resembling football), and of playing at such games a, well on Sundays as on other days, and that in order more fully to act upon the aforesaid doctrine as to th 3 uselessness of prayer, the said Henry James Prince, in or before the year 1849, as I have been informed, and verily believe, caused a building adjoining the said " Agapemone," which had been fitted up as a chapel, to be altered into an ordinary rcom, or sitting room, and that the said Henry James Prince has for some timo past not attended, and does not attend, and that his followers, by his direction, have for some time past not attended, and do uot attend, divine service in any place of worship." And again a little • farther on , " say that, u I have been informed anebelieve, tbe Moms derived by the said Henry James I's ince from kis own property does not exceed 4001. a year, but that by means of large sums of money which he obtains from his followers he has since he established himself in the said Agapemone been enabled to live in an exsenain manner, and to keep a carriage and four horses for drawing the same, and several handsome saddle hones • and he has been la the habit of riding in the neighbourho od of Charlitch in the said carriage, drawn by four horses, also of riding out in week neighbourhood attended by a lures cavalcade of his followers, end being himself on such occanoi s usually mounted an akendrome horse, to whichhe has given the cannot Glory." Mr. Hayward, who is the solicitor of the next friend of the Win; out probably is not more biassed than the other di,. rants en either side, if so much, and is a man of standing end repute in his profession, and 1 think • trustworthy wit. sees, deposes thus. (Hi: Honour read passages from the affidavit, to the effect of some of the statements detailed in tr a esrt of the hearing in the Daily News.) Mr. Thomas has made two affidavits in which, respectively, these passages will be found. In his first affidavit he says :—" 1 and others at the Agapemone amuse ourselves in various ways, both for health and exercise, and we some time since did so with hockey, which is a game like football, and that we did so Sundays and other days ; Ott I do not regard one de.; non than another. but sin, d ay s a e , cu t each day unto the Lord ; we said Henry Janes Prince has not to my knowledge or belief propounded any blasphemous or irreli gious doctrines; and I solemnly deny that he teaches his followers that he has a divine character and is a proper object of worship, or that hie followers treat him as a proper object of worship." In his second affidavit is the following puns!, : " I say that the said Henry James Prince and I and many of those called in the maid petition his followers were pre eminently distinguished sa men of prayer; but, as the con sequence of holding that the day of grace is past and the day ofjudgment command, the said Henry James Prince, sod I, and others of his friends, discontinued the use of prayer es a means of communion with God, although I maintain that lan still inAtirnate communion with Him." In such • ease, seeing that probably or certainly, as I have mid, • what provision for the maintenance and education of abbey is or will be made, Independently of his father's re- o ffiens, it appears to me that, consistently with the law of Begbad, as declared and enforced in the Court of Menem dam and before the time of Lord Eldon, ell mel ae is more than one important ens by UM Elden himself, I cannot decline interposing to avert bum the country the infliction of such a citizen, sad trout the child such ruin temporally, and such spiritual peril as his father's threatened are must, I think, without a miracle Me.

The defendants pleaded that the de ceased at the time of his death was bisaasU a served of the company, and that the wildest whisk sewed hie death was occasioned by the negligence of one of his fellow servants. To that plea the plaintiff demurred, and the questions raised were, first, whether the plea was bad as amounting to the general issue ; and, secondly, untie? the circumstances, whether the plea disclosed • suilleient defence to the action. The demurer was argued some time ago, when the court took time to consider. They were now of opinion that the plea was good, and that the tasts it disclosed were a fall and perfect answer to the action. They were of opinion that a a master for injuries euetair.ed by him by reason of the misconduct or negligence of a follow servant. In this ease the deceased and the drive, of the train were both actually discharging their duties together as tenants of the defendants when the accident occurred. Upon the authority of "Priestly v.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY. ErFOILS Mg. SIMPAKT Attua MID • Blrtt Ot AN UNNATURAL PARRAT. Bridget Smith, 32, a willow, was indicted for stealing twelve pounds of beef, the priperty of Francis Tonnicgton. On the morning of last Tussday week, at about half-past 10 o'c'.oek, the prisoner went up in front of the ship kept by the prosecutor, a butcher. in Walker's -court, St. James's, and stood MIMI minutia examining sevorol pieces of meat, hr one of which she eventually made an ofia, but such a low one that she must have been certain of its rejection. This es idently was done to divert the attention of the shop man from the operations of her dauehttr, a child ten years ' old, who h td crawled in her hand. and knees up tinder the window, and dexterously whipped the piece 01 beef men tionel in the indictment from the board. This was ob served, however, by a person on the other side of the 'ha rooghlare, and, keeping his eyes upon the girl, he saw her pass the meat underneath her mother's cloak, and the pri sorer took hold of it with one of her hands, which the cloak elfoc•ually hid. She then told the shopmact that she was sorry he would not take the price she had tendered for the meat, and went off, followed by the girl. The person who had seen this gave information to the prosecutor, and the woman was shortly erwards cp;rehended, but the meat hod disappeared. Mary Smith, the child, said—The prisoner le my mother. She told me to steal the beef, and I did steal it. I don't know what became of it at all. My mother toll me how to steal it, and I d l / 4 1 as she told cwt. The prisoner, crying. said she was innocent, hut it. was no use her saying ant thing, as her own child w:.l against her The jury found her Guilty. The learned Judge said a more fisqrant case of the bind than this had neve: come before that or any other c. a t. These were cases rarely brought before the pubic, but they were by no means so rare in occurrence as might thereby be supposed. It was almo-t incredible the number of parents in kindon who regularly trained their offspring to be thieves. I.;uch was the disgraceful state of the law that lisd this r.or corrupted child been caught and convicted, there would have been no means by which the hypocritical a retch whe stood at the her, prett ntliag to cry, could have been compelled to contribute to her support whilst in prison. There were parents who &Al not core whet end their children came to, and when such cases as the present were braught lorward, it was very necessary that the curt should mark them strongly. The sentence was, that the prisoner Le kept to hard labour in the House of Correction at Westmin ster for one year. POLICRIESTEZDAY• WORSHIP-BTRZET. ATTEMPTV.D MVRDLit AND St lance.—Nary ri'epiolds was charged with attemptin; to commit self-destruction, and also attempting to destroy the life of her daught2r, Anne Reynold., an infant eight months old. Alfred Watson, a hawker of chins, stated—About seven o'clock yesterday evening I was in the Victoria Park, show ing my little boy the swans and wild fowl in the ornamental water, when I noticed the pries= r, who is a neighbour 4.1 mine, standing a few yards from me by the side of the water, with her infant in her arms. I moved away from the spot a short distance, when, hearing a scuffling roise, I turned round, and at the same instant saw the prisoner leap into the water, with the infant clasped to her breast. The child directly after dropped from her arm, and sank be neath the water, but fluted up again, and the prisoner, who had likewise sunk, also reappeared about half a yard from it, and made s violent eff.it to get hold of it. I and my brother, however, jumped in, and while I secured the child, and brought it to the bank, my brother succeeded in geaspleg hold of the prisoner her self, and dragged her on to the path. Upon getting her out she wrung her hands end exclaimed, " Oh, Mr. Watson, you had better not have saved me ; you had better have let me alone, for my husband has Mooed me, I have a poor deal and dumb boy at home, and I wish to Ood that he was here also." She then became faint, and hav ing laid her upon the grass, we sent for one of the park keepers, and gave her into custody for her own protection. She appeared to me to have been drinking something, but scarcely five minutes before she leaped into the water with the infant, I saw her sitting upon a bank with another woman, crying, and anarently in much mental distress. Mary Thompson, a married woman, stated—l live in the same house with the prisoner, who has four children, the youngest of whom fs now in curt, and about eight or nine months old. About half-past 6 yesterday evening I and the prisoner, accompanied by her husband and a party of other persons, went out for a walk, and in the course of it had a small quantity of spirits each. On reaching liitdcage-walk tome sharp words ensued httween the prisoner and her husband, which appeared much to hurt her feelings, and on reaching the park her kusbend walked on out of sight. We were walking &bog the bank together, the prisoner with the infant in her ume, when 1 happened to look across to the opposite side, and no tiring that the prisoner did not follow, tamed round to speak to her, when I heard a sudden splash, and the next instant she and the baby were struggling in the water. The act was so sudden and unexpected that I became greatly alarmed, and do not know what took place until she and the infant had been rescued by some of the bystanders, nor do I know the cause of her committing the act ; but whilst previously walking near the water, I noticed that she was very low spirited and crying bitterly, and upon asking her to tell me why she was es she refund to speak. The wit ness added, that she had lodged in the same house with the Omer and her husband for the last twelvemonth, and that se kr as she could awns they appeared to live on happy Moms together. When asked if she wished to say anything in answer to Ike charge, the prisoner, who was deeply affected, and in such a state of debility and illness that she was obliged to be allowed a seat during the examination, faintly replied in the negative ; and Mr. HIMUDiII ordered her to be remanded until that day week for the (temptation of the evident*. She subsequently applied for her Infant to be restored to her, but the magutiste considered it unsafe to intrust her with it, and the child, which was in the arse of a nurse in court, and appeared to have suffered Isom its immersion in the water, was subsequently conveyed to the House of De tention, with directions that it should be properly attended to. Several persons, before the close et the court, presented themselves as bail for the prisoner's future appearance, but the magistrate refused to accept it.

CRUELTY TO A WORKIIONSE ClllLD.—Yester any Mr. and Mrs. Boreham, a most respectable farmer and his wife, residing a Billericay, who had been committed to the Essex Sessions, for most inhuman cruelty to Elizi Walker, a union workhouse child, were placed at the bar at the Town Hll, Chelmsford. Upon the indictment being read over to them, contrary to general expectation, both primen pleaded guilty. The cue was ono of most unusual character, the facts being these:—The male prisoner being • farmer in a respectable way of bminess, applied to the guardians of the Billericay Union, and the little girl, ten years of age, was allowed to be taken into Lis service, but hail not been there long when she was ill-treatail. One night the prisoner and his wife were from home late, and came home in a state of drunkenness. The pair chill, worn out with fatigue, had lain down en a bed and fallen asleep, leaving the candle burning, upon which the female prisoner caused the child to strip herself naked, when herself and husband commenced heating her to such an extent that her whole body was one masa of bruises and wounds, and so great was the injury that for several days the life of the poor child was despaired of. The appearance of her body was described as frightful from head to toot, to say nothing of the attendant indecent and revolting circum stances. The chairman, on the part of the magistrates present, expressed their horror and detestation of the cruelty to which this poor helpless and inoffensive child had been subjected, and should mark their sense of it by lining them jointly in the sum of .501.
