Mr. Metcalfe, for the prosecution, said the pri soner had been for about 12 years in the service of the prosecutor, an oil and colourman, carrying on business in High-street, Shoreditch, and had been in the receipt of a salary of 2201. per year, with an allowance of 20s. a-day for expenses. He used to make journeys in various parts of England, and the sums he had embezzled were paid to him in the ordinary course of business by the customers. The total amount of the deficiency in his accounts was near 7001., and the embezzlements; extended over a period of six years, a discovery being pre vented by the prisoner appropriating sums recently received by him to make up former deficiencies. When detection did take place the prisoner was in the country, and a warrant was placed in the hands of Inspector Bricknell, of the G division, he traced him from place to place several hundreds of miles, and at length found him at the village of Wardosly, near Sheffield. Mr. Bliss sentenced the prisoner, vho seemed to be in a precarious state of health, and was lean ing upon crutches, to be. koi - A to hard labour for 15 calendar months. John Collins was indicted for having stolen 15Ib of lead the property of Holdbrook, his master. He surrendered. Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Metcalfe for the prisoner. On the 18th of December the prisoner took the lead in question to a marine-store shop, and sold it. He was in the service of the prosecutor, an iron -founder, at Chelsea, at the time, and the lead, which be so sold, was taken from the warehouse, marks having been placed upon it previously, so that it might be identified. There were such suspicions which induced the prosecutor to adopt that course, and the result was the detection of the prisoner, who asserted when charged that the lead was his perquisite, and the defence now set up was that he might have taken it under that impres sion, however erroneous it might have been. The jury found the poisoner guilty, and The learned Judge sentenced him to 4 months' hard labour. John Reynolds, a respectable-looking man sur-, rendered to take his trial on a charge of aggravated assault upon a woman named Jane Archer. Mr. Le Breton prosecuted ; Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. T. Salter were for the defence. This case involved a question of right of way, and, with respect to the charge of assault made against the defendant, there was perjury either on the part of the prosecution or the defence, for the witnesses ceivra.licted each other point blank. The prosecutrix, a merried woman, lived in Grove-lane, Stamford-hill, had made herself disagreeable to the neighbours, one of whom wa s th e d e f en d an t M oss, through whose garden she claimed aright of way to her own. The defendant objected to her intrusion, and on the 7th January, on her attempting to open the gate, lie prevented her, and she went to the next house and tried to get over a fence into the defendant's garden. She swore that be threw her down over the fence, threatened to put her down a well, and attempted to do so, for he seized her by the right aim and left leg, and held her up over the well, when his wife interfered and prevented him. He then threw her over the fence into the next garden, and, her head c :ming into contact with some palings, same received injuries from which she had not yet recovered. The language, he used was such, she said, that it was impossible for a woman to repeat it, and while holding her up he exposed her in a most shameful manner. She had a miecarriage in consequence, and was still under medi cal treeteuent, Lut eur;„,:coe was eal'ed although she produced what purports; to be a medical eel-- tiac*. In her account of the transaction she was corioborrated fully by a Mrs. Compton, a neigh bour, who said she also had a miscarriage in con sequence of the defendant's disgusting end violent conduct. On the other side witnesses were called who denied altogether the truth of the evidence, and it was contended that the defendant had not used any more force than he was justified in doing to keep an intruder off his property, that in•ruder being a person who had been fined and imprisoned for other misconduct, and who claimed this right of 'pressing the defendant's gat den for tho mere sake of annoyance. The jury, after a long trial found the defendant guilty ou the counts charging an assault and occa sioning actual bodily harm. Mr. Bliss said it was clear that the defendant had acted in a moment of passion in defence of his right to protect his garden, but he had used more force than was justifiable. He should sentence him to the short term of one mouth's imprisonment. The defendant declared his innocence emphati cally, but said as the jury had found him guilty he must suffer the consequences. John Johwon, 22, was indicted for stealing a number of spoons in the dwelling-house of Herbert Barnard. Mr. Payne prosecuted ; Mr. Ribton was for the prisoner. The prosecutor resides at 69, Portland-place, and it appeared that on the 7th inst., just as the dinner table was laid, the prisoner called and banded two parcels to the footman, and asked for a receipt from the lady they were for. The footman went to fetch his coat, and on his returning to the passage he caught the prisoner leaving the dining-room, and heard no jingling of plate. He asked him to step back, which he did, and he then lccked the door upon him and fetched the butler. The pri soner had replaced the plate, but al in a heap, as;it had been laid out. The parcels were rolls of brown paper. The prisoner was found guilty, and he pleaded guilty to a former conviction. The police gave a very bad account of him, a detective of the F divi sion stated that he knew him as one of the leaders in the Notting-hill depredationswhich were so noto rious some titn6 back. Mr. Bliss sentenced him to four years' penal servitude. (Before Mr. Creasy.) Oliver Rammage, butcher's foreman, surren dered, and was tried upon a charge of stealing some marked money from his master's till. The jury acquitted him. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridge prosecuted; Mr. Ribton was for the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Feb. 15. GIIILDHALL.—Mr. Thomas Staley Vessey, a solicitor out of practice, living at Fairfteld-terrace, Stepney, appeared on bail for further examination relative to the charge of stealing 2001. in Bank of England notes, the property of the London and Westminster Bank, under circumstances which have already been stated. Mr. Roy, the solicitor, said ho now felt a doubt whether a criminal prosecution could be sustained, as he had no further evidence to offer. and dbotuhtat three Mr. Alderman Copeland therefoze discha r g ed the prisoner.

Elizabeth Wynn, a good -lookin g g irl, a pp ar ently not less than 1 8 years o f a g e, stated that she Was was ona visit t when she nitt Mr. Davis in the street for the first t t o urri an ecl aunt y a ea t rs L o iv f e a r g p e o , o a l - ic ",„ t time. She saw him afterwards, and consented weeks ago, acco mpany him to Spain. They went first to rat to m anc h es ter, and then to Sheffield, before coming to London. She came voluntarily with Mr. Davis, and he had not promised her any money thing else. She consented t o go to Spain any him of her own free will. Sh e did not with come for money, she came with him for love. She did not want any money of Mr. Davisshe had plenty of her own. She did ant wish to B leave him. Alderman Copeland asked her if she was married. Witness said she was not married. Alderman Copeland said, then it was not worth while to carry the case any further. The prisoner was then discharged. 1 Alderman Copeland recommended the girl to re turn to her friends. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Sarah Tizzard, a respectable-looking woman, was charged with the following robbery : Mr. Cox, of the firm of Jones and Cox, pawn brokers, Frith-street, said the prisoner came into the shop on Satnrday afternoon and asked to look at a gold chain which was in the window. _ He showed the chain, but it did not sui t, and tile I THE CONSPIRACY BILL. Last evening a very crowded public meeting was held at the Freemasons' Tavern to protest against the bill introduced by Lord Palmerston on the subject of conspiracy to murder. The assemblage was a mixed one—a number of those present being foreigners of various nations. Mr. A. B. Richards was called to the chair. Letters were read from Sir Do Lacy Evans, M.P., Mr. W. J. Fox, Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr. Roupell, M.P., Mr. Cox, M.P., Mr. Scbolefield, M.P., Mr. C. Gilpi n , M.P., Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. Bright, M.P., Mr. White, M.P., Mr. Cob den, and other gentlemen, expressing their in- Ability to attend, but their hearty concurrence in the object of the meeting. Sir Do Lacy Evans says :—" The question is not one to be briefly treated. I shall confine myaelf at present with stating that the deport ment of our government in the transactions has occasioned me the deepest regret and pain." Mr. Bright says :—" Igo heartily with the op position to the Conspiracy Bill. lam very anxious, however, that any opposition to it should be con ducted so as not needlessly to cause irritation be tween this country and the people or the Govern ment of France. Our business is simply with our own Government. We have to condemn them for a total waist of d;gnity iu this matter, for their shrinking from the duty of giving a proper and respectful but firm reply to the French deipaich, and because they have brought forward a bill which can have no influence in adding to the security of Emperor of the French, or of any (ther person, and can only be pointed t i as a hasty and humiliating concession to a hasty and needless demand. We have for years past been judging the governments of other nations, it is uow time for us to examine the condition of our own." The CHAIRMAN said they were met that night to exercise the privilege at present possessed by Eng -I.Blunen, of speaking their mind—(hear, hear) — but how long they would be allowed to exercise such a privilege it rested with Englishmen them selves to determine, by the expressions of feeling they gave utterance to at such demonstrations as that. He wished, at the outset, to state that that meeting was a purely and thoroughly English in , et ing, and not in any way in favour of any conspiracy, or of any refugees, beyond the desire of according to the latter those rights which, as Englishmen, we have ever thought fit to confer upon them. (Cheers.) He believed that none present had any sympathy with assassination. The measure now before the country was one involving the most pernicious con sequences, and which, if passed into law, would render the life—or rather (for they knew what im prisonment by a despotic government was) would render the liberty of every man in this country insecure. (Cheers.) It had been suddenly brought before thorn by intimidation, and as it were upon compulsion. We might disguise the fact as much as we liked, but there was no doubt but that act was attempted to be passed in consequence of the threats and-menaces of the French government. It admitted of no sophistry. It would not do to say, "The act itself is good." The reply to that was, " We will inquire into it at leisure, but at this moment such an act was most insulting and de grading to the country." There was no occasion whatever for such a measure, and he looked upon it as part of the despotism which is so insidiously being enforced upon us. (Hear.) With regard to the menaces that he had referred to, and which appeared in the French official organ, theilloniteur, they had never been denied in the llioniteur. It was stated that an apology had been made by the FrenchEmpetor. That apology, if they could so call it, had been sent to this country, but had never been printed in the French papers—(hear, hear) — and while that state of things existed, he contended that it was most inopportune to give the measure the least consideration. It had been said that the articles were inserted accidentally ; but it appeared that they were inserted on successive days, and even af,er the apology was made, another insulting menace appeared from one of these French colonels. They had not, in Lord Palmerston, as English minister. (Hear, hear.) He might be blustering, bullying, or trafficking—(hear, hear)—but when it came to the point, he was found, rs far as any act goes towards establishing despotism, to be craving and conniving. (Cheers.) He considered that the legislation of this country had tended towards that point for some time past. (Rear, hear.) The cry of the Government was more power to the police. In Lerd Campbell's act, the Lodging-House Act, and others of a similar character the object had been to enable the police to institute domicilia , y visits, and to turn their bulls-eyes upon men and women sleeping in their homes—(shame) —and that was the motive of the proposed measure. What was the reason for the recent menaces of France being bowed to at this moment ? Was it from connivance or was it from feat g If from fear, what should they say of the minister who had left the country in such a state ? But he thought there was no occasion for fear at all. (Hear, hear.) In con clusion, he again declared his belief that this act was part of a great despotic system traced in the influences that surround the court., in the conduct of the minister, in the conduct of the cabinet, and everything they do. (Cheers.) That was the key to those insults which our Government has so far submitted to on the part of the French. He hoped such meetings as that would be held throughcut the country, and awaken an expression of feeling which would not only overthrow this, but prevent any similar attempt for the future. Mr. LAURENCE in moving the first resolution, protested strongly against any legislation at the in stigation of a foreign despotism. He hoped, Low ever, that there yet remained a feeling cf national honour sufficiently strong to oppose successfully any suoh attempt as the present to infringe the rights and liberties which had ever been the boast of Englishmen. (Hear.) He concluded by moving, " That any alteration of the laws of England under the menacing dictation of a foreign power is calcu lated to endanger the national character and inde pendence." (Applause.) Dr. Simmer seconded the resolution. He said, let them soow Lord Palmerston that Englishmen were resolved to endure him no longer, and that the Government of th e na ti on must be placed in the hands of those who would be more jealous of the nation's honour and the people's rights. Mr. ERNEST JONES rose to address the meeting in support of the motion amidst great applause. The question for consideration was—first, is such a measure as the one proposed necessary or not ; and secondly, under what circumstances is that measure endeavoured to be forced upon us St (Hear, hoar.) The new Alien Bill had not yet passed, and yet they found a reward of 2001. promised for the arrest of one man, the house of another searched at mid night, and a third had been arrested in broad day, in the midst of Loudon, on suspicion of being con cerned in conspiracy. (Cries of " Shame.") If these things could be done under the present law, he contended it was manifest that no stronger law was necessary. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BARE, amidst some conf us i on , p roposed an " addendum" to the re s ol u ti on , as follows : " In the opinion of this meeting Englishmen ought always to countenance all lawful demands made at the hands of a Power in unity with them." (Groans.) The proposer attempted to address the meeting, but the feeling was so strong against him that he could not detain a hearing. The resolution was then put and carricd amidst tremendous. applause. .'r. W. WILKES moved the second resolution, " That, for this bill, and other acts both a t h ome and abroad, this meeting declares Lord Palmerston and his colleagues to be unworthy of the confidence of the country." (Applause.) It had been nobly said by Lord J. Russell that ho would be ashamed and humiliated at the thought of voting for this bill. (Hear, hear.) Lord John Russell was at least an Englishman ; he remembered at least that he has had an ancestry—that, moreover, he may have a posterity ; and ha hoped that his ancient name, so entwined with the ancient glory of England, would have a bright place in the history to come. (Hear, hear.) But, for himself, he said he was ashamed of the possibility of such a measure ever being pro posed, and still more so of the Parliament which would uphob! a MiniE:ter who could bring it ff;r ward or give it his sanction. (Hear, hear.) He called upon them in the name of liberty, and of the fallen nations of Europe, to do their utmost both LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 185-87 MESSRS.

Mr. WINTOSH seconded the resolution ; which having been fu r th er spoken to by M r. Bli gh and a gentleman i n th e b ody of the hall, was put and car ried with acclamation. Mr. G. LEVERSO' then proposed, "That this meeting • urges the constituencies and people of Great Britain to use all legal and constitutional means to resist the bill called the Conspiracy to Murder as - hastily framed, unworthily proposed, and fraught with danger to our liber ties. It was said that "au Englishman's house is his castle," but if this bill were passed, that saying would he longer hold good, for the English man's house would be turned into a glass one, which the lantern of the policeman might at any moment illumine. (Hear, hear.) • Mr. J. CUNNINGHAM, in seconding the resolution, contended that Lord Palmerston had gone to the late general election with false colours ; and that had it not b een so, such men as Fox and Cobden, and ect e d others from of th th e e H ir stamp,Sousa of Commons. would not have been rejected This resolution was also carried amidst tremen dous applause. It was then announced that arrangements had been made for a monster meeting in Hyde-park, in opposition to the proposed measure, at 3 o'clock, and that a sum of money had been subscribed upon the platform for defraying expenses. A cordial vote of thanks having been given to the chairman, the proceedings terminated. TEE CONSPIRACY BlLL4spn Saturday the Town Council of Duafermline met, and alter some discussion resolutions were passed unanimously expressive of detes tation at the late attempted assassination, and of an esrnest desire f or a cont i nuance of our alliance with the French nation. But considering that the council h isfitly petitioned fur the amelioration of punishments under our criminal code, they agreed to petition against Lord Faimerston's Conspiracy Bill, on the ground of its bent; totally inefficient for its professed object, and in expedient, as being introduced at the instance of the.

On receipt of this intelligence the directors lost no time in entering into a c.)utract for the execution of the works between Kurrachee and Kotree, the port of Hydrabad, with Messrs. Bray and Co., and a member of that firm, accompanied by an efficient staff, sailed for Kurrachee by the last steamer ; previous to which, in order to accom modate the pressing wants of Government and the immense lo'ial tratE,,c, they deemed it advisable to commence operati ons b y coostruct i ng four miles of the lin o b e t ween the harbour and Kurrachee.

The advantages of having so good a Barbour at the terminus of the railway are apparent, both . for effect . which it will the immediate facilities afforded for landing the most favourable accounts of the stores of . the conapany, and for the powerful lug .the commerce of Upper and North-Western India.

The authorities in Scinde have recommended that the directors be atithor?sed to survey a branch line from Sukkur vid Shikar poreway the trade of and. Jacobabad to Dadur near the Bolan .

They have also recommended the survey of a branch line from Hydrabad to Deesa, which,. when . executed, will place Kurrachee in direct railway Affghanistan and adjacent coml. com.raunication with Bombay, and eventually with Calcutta the Bombay and Baroda, and Central India Railway Company being about to extend their line to Deesa. With reference to these branch lines M r.

The report made by the surveyors and the late Governor-General's order went to Imre it.

Julia Spilling, the wife who was in evident fain from the injuries inflicted on her, gave her evidence with difficulty, and continually watched the prisoner in apprehension, stated, that after sufiering a great deal of ill-treatment at the hands of her husband —he repeatedly beating her black and blue, threat ening her with knives, and declaring he would take her life—she at last ran away from home in fear, and secreted herself in the house of a woman named Daly, in Fort's-buildings, Shoreditch, where she remained hidden until the night before this, when the prisoner discovered her, and, abruptly entering the room, ordered her three times to return home with him. She was still fearful. and would not, and on being refused the third time he pulled some sharp weapon from beneath his coat-sleeve, and instantly stabbed at her three times, the instrument the last time penetrating her stomach, and inflict ing so serious an injury that the blood immediately poured on to the floor. The prisoner, who was perfectly sober, then rapidly left the house, while she was taken to the house of a surgeon in the neighbourhood, who dressed leer wound's, and from whom she now produced a certificate describing the nature o° the injuries she had sustained. A young woman named Hales deposed to the prisoner running rapidly past her and flinging away something which rung upon the stones, and which, upon her afterwards picking it up, she found to be a large iron spike, rounded at one end and extremely acute at the other. Blogz, the constable, described the condition of the wif,) when he saw her, faint and exhausted, and blood pouring profusely from her; and the prisoner, who denied the charge altogether, was remanded. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBEItY IN A B ,lIL WAY CARRIAGE. On Thursday afternoon Mr. Richard Wainwright, schoolmaster of Littleborough, left home for Man chester, with a friend, on businesl. After tran sacting it he went to Salford, and there bought from a druggist in Chapel-street, threepennyworth of chloroform ; intending to use it for the toothache. Thence he went to Vic . Vria -station on his road home, but before arrivieg at the station he was accosted by a tall man, whom he afterwards recog nised prior to getting into the carriage. They got into the same carriage, and so proceeded to Roch dale, where Mr. Wainwright got out while the train stopped; and on returning to the carriage got into ancglier compartment. The man w h om he had loft followed him, however, into the same com partment—they being its only occupants—and as £0 Dll as the train left for Littltboromzh the man jumped up from his seat, seizing'halcrok Mr. Wain wright by the throaty and presenting a revolver at his head, said, "If you move, I will blow your brains out." He then dragged Mr. Wainwright down mon the floor of the carriage, and took from his pockets 91. 10s. iu gold, 30?. in silver, and an old-fashi:med verge watch, jewelled in three or four holes. While rifling his pockets the thief found the bottle containing the chloroform. This he took, • and poured the chloroform into Mr. Wainwright's mouth and up his nostrils, some falling upon his breast. This rendered Mr. Wainwright insensible, and he remembered nothing further until he found himself at the White Hart Inn at Tormorden. The man was respectably dressed, and the police are in full expectation of being able apprehend him shortly. The Leeds .AreiTeury of Saturday has an account of this affair, erroneous in some respects ; but the following portion of it is, we believe, cor rect. When the train arrived at Todmorden, the railmay officials had their attention draWn to the condition of Mr. Wainwiight, who was found lying on his back in the bottom of the carriage insensible. He was at once taken out and conveyed to the White Hart Hotel, where he was put t o b e d, an d ' remained insensible until about 2 - o'clock a.m. on Friday. The robber wore false moustach es, and had a grey shawl, or cloak, or covering of some descrip tion, knew' to Mr. Wainwright only by its colour. He was a tall man, wore a gold ring on his finger, and in other respects had the exterior of a gentle. man. The railway servants found on the carriage floor one shilling and tenpence, a broken bottle, a pencil, and some other trifling articles taken from Mr. Wainwright's pocket. The thief either made his escape at the Walsden station, jumped out of the train whilst in motion, or otherwise changed his compartment by walking on the carriage foot hoard, as the door of the compartment where Mr. Wainwright sat was fella open at Todmorden, a cireunattat.ce which drew the attention of the ser vants to the compartment where Mr. Wainwright was found. The Halifax Guardian . states that Mr. Wainwright was so far recovered on Friday afternoon as to he able to bear his removal home. He was conveyed to the railway station on a bed, and placed in a first-class carriage, and left Tod morden by the 2.55 p.m. train. Some two or toree hundred persons were assembled to witness the depArture of the train. He is now under the care of Mr. Lister, surgeon, of Littleborough, and according to the latest accounts is in a very suffer ing state, but likely to recover. prisoner pointed out another chain, ,'Whisitt s -Ini:0311 ke; spoofing she approved, and said elle - *mild, I‘l4l 4 and leave a deposit. Ha in .to::iiattlitilidigg l t''' on the first chain, he found that a spurious Rptal_ r . .- chain, in pattern closely resembling hienhainha.o f ) been substituted. He immediately said to the pri soner, "It is very awkward, but I End a metal chain here instead of a gold one. I don't accuse you of the fraud, but I must know- who you are, and where you live." The prisoner gave her ad dress in Fitzroy-square, but this was found to be fictitious. The prison er gave a second address to the constable—Beaumo n t- p l ace, New-road, but this, too, was false. The prisoner, who gave no clue to her address, pleaded guilty, and was sent by Mr. Beadon for four months to the House of Correction. .Henry Somershy, butler to Dr. Bell, Hertford- Street, and Samuel Owen, were charged with steal ing a quantity of forks, the property of Dr. Bell. The prisoner Owen took the forks to the shop of Tho 3. Richardson, pawnbroker, Upper George street, and offered to pledge them. He was stopped and a policeman sent for, to whom he stated that the butler of Dr. Bell had given them to him to raise money upon. The prisoners were fully committed. THE CASE OF TILE CAGLIARI. A letter dated Salerno, Fob. 9, says :—Since Wednesday last the trial of the Sapri prisoners at Salerno has made no progress, in consequence of the determined refusal of Watt to attend. This fact, taken together with all his antecedents led to the presumpti on th a t hi s m i nd was affected, and, as I have already told you, a commission of medical men was formed to visit and examine him. On Sunday night the commission, assisted by Mr. Roskilly, of Naples, paid Watt a third visit, and yesterday morning they gave in their report to the Court almost in these words :—" We find-1. That on his arrival in this prison the accused attempted to cut his throat. 2. That he has exhi bited various signs of mental aberration, such as distrust, suspicion, and fear of his best friends. 3. On long and accurate inquiry among his fellow prisoners, we hear that he is altogether a changed man from what he was. _ 4. We are of opinion th at he should be confided in qualchs - luogo apposito,' and that some medical men devoted to the study of mental diseases should examine him, and report the result of their investigations as to whether his aberration is feigned or real," The President was of opinion that th e s i mple inhisposit v io m n p r t e o f m uz o i nf l aber gmentato appear in ration. court vas fwa man in strongest wa S s ia•no L • ..._____ wished e to counsel know for whether the prison er , \vatt• unfortunate state ; ho was answered always a r t he i t en u thisr i had a , lucid intervals.

Watt may be represented by any person whom the Court may appoint, and we have precedents for it during this week even, when seve ral Neapolitans who were ill were represented by their counsel. Articles 223, 224, 225 permit the absence of a prisoner who it is likely may disturb the order of the Court without rendering it neces sary to suspend the proceedings." The Procureur. General was anxious to reconcile humanity with justice ; he did not think, however, that the trial could be allowed to proceed without a positive decision having been come to as to the state of Watt's mind. The Court then withdrew, and shortly returned and pronounced as follows : "The Court suspends all further proceedings unti such time as certain phreiiologi shall have decided on the state of Watt's mind—whether his aberra tion is feigned or real.
