THE METROPOLITAN MARKETS QUESTION. Mr. Sec ea-y Walpole f e lt h e was mora lly b ou nd to allow the Corporation to set d own t h e cattle-mar ket _ nuisance :n C penhagven-fields, having, in fact, already agreed to it. Is the Horne Secretary under no moral obligations to the public? Why is ho morally bound down to Corporation abuses alone, if sheer negb , ct of his moral ilaligations to the pubic led to the nr , ral error of agreeing to such a public nuisance? Is not such a moral error much more es:ily rE:trac.able iii reality than ba trAnstiction involvinx moral cnrruption would have een? In their memorial to the C 1 rporation the Cam del-tova e , snmittee point attention to the fact, that should the CArporwion nprs.iit, they will hive to submit to very strinzQut by laws, which must b e approve d b den- y the Home Secr etary; bnt is it p l , s inl e th at t h e Cam town committee ern lean on that brittle reed after what has occurred? The public interests have already b ee n betrayed in the establishment of the nuisance itself, neatly as much in much greater matter of the re the midst of the population as it was, and notwthstand in7,l the public battle that was deliberately fought to get rid o f i l: the disguaing object ) though compelled to policeman's eye was for a m 0,6 ,6 m ere on," has pumped down again in the midst of the rant c)ff i1..._ B, -laws, they ma— caraediately the such y depend on it, will not streets i J , We have more full faith in the force of arepresentation of the extent operate in terrorem on a subject, and intensity of the proposed nuisance made to the , Corporation or Iho Market Committe e th emselves. We cannot believe that these gentlemen will persist, i n th e face of such a r epresentation, in re-establishing the market on the site in quest ion. One very s t rong objec tion to it, even apart from its public demerit s , i s t h e fact that there is not a sufficient supply of water for s uch an evablishmont , there being already a very re stricted supply, chiefly from the pude et Hi g h gate an d Hampstead. The p o pu lo us and settled chsrscter of the h o wever, constitutes the mai n o bj ect i on to a e which has already been fo un d i n t o l era bl e i n any district, however, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1852, FRANCE. The Moniker* publishes a decree creating two new professorships at the Conservatoire des Arts et M - tiers, one for all matters connected with spinning and weaving, and the other for dying, printing, and dressing woven goods. Each of the professors will receive a salary of 5,000 francs per annum. M. Michel Alcan, Professor at the Central School of Arts and Manufactures, is appointed to the former, and M. Persoz, Professor of Chemistry at Strasburg, to the latter. The decrees come into operation on the Ist of January, 1853. According to letters from Toulon the squadron from Naples is expected in that port on the 20th. The fitting out of the Montebello is being carried on actively. It will be placed opposite the fort and il luminated in the fetes to be given to the Prince President. M. C. Abbatucoi, Chef du Cabinet of the Minister of Justice, and Vice-President of the Council- General of Corsica, has been appointed a member of the commission charged to consider the best means of putting down bandittism in that island. The Official Gazette of Savoy, says M. Ala deniza, Consul of France at Nice, has had his salary increased from 12,000 f. to 20,000 f. This increase is not, as might be supposed, an act of kindness of the President, whose dangers he had shared at Stras burg. It is a measure of precaution ; for with the 1,500 refugees of the Var, the Bouches-du-Rhone, and the Basses and Hautes-Alpes, the Consul of France requires greater means of surveillance than hitherto ; his expenses are in fact greater." The Gazette de Lyon says:—" At the last meeting of the iron masters a new fall took place in the price of cast iron. This appears in contradiction with the political calm which prevails, and with the real activity in great undertakings. ne sole reason caused the reduction, namely, the disquietude felt as to tba pro ject ascribed to the Government, not of absolutely adopting free trade principles, but of lowering the tariffs on the import of foreign iron. In spite of the assertions of the Moniteur, many persons persist in believing that concessions will be made to England and Belgium ; and this ides, very generally spread, has sufficed to cause a fall. The price has been fixed at 165 f. the 100 kilo grammes on fine cast iron of the first quality taken at the works, which makes 10f. decline on the prices of , the fair at Besancon, and sf. only on that of Chilons: The equestrian statue of the Emperor Napoleon arrived at Lyons four days ago. The statue is to be inaugurated during the stay of the Prince President at Lyons. We read in the Akbar of the 7th inst. : " The liberation of Abd-el-Kader has of late been talked of, on condition, it is true, of his removal to Mecca. Those rumours having obtained some credit, the Chamber of Commerce of Algiers, in the name °f the interests it represents, has thought proper to ad dress to the Minister of War some pressing observa tions, which we fully approve. We are informed that other Chambers of Commerce, that of Philippeville in particular, intend to combine their efforts with those already attempted to prevent the execution of a mea sure, which, whatever may be said to the con trary, would be now dangerously premature. We do not precisely know what opinion is entertained in. France as to the importance of that resolution, and the degree of confidence to be attached to the promises the Emir might make in order to obtain his liberty. But there is one thing certain, namely, that whatever may be the sincerity of the ex-Emir, and it will be agreed that, religiously or politically speaking, it is very doubtful, from the manner in which he exe cuted the modest conditions of the treaty of the Tafna, and whatever good intentions be may have in that respect, it does not depend upon him not to be for us, in Algeria, a cause of disturbance and em barrassment. The moment he arrives at Mecca we shall have every day pious pilgrims returning from the Holy City, circulating, without his participation or knowledge, the most dangerous reports as to his in tentions. Our Arabs, fond of stories and credulous as they are, will have their eyes incessantly turned to that side ; and, we repeat it, it would be an eternal source of false rumours and agitation. Once more, we trust that the liberation of Abd-el-Kader will not take place." HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The present return exhibits a further decline in the mortality. The deaths registered in the first week of August rose to 1,124 ; in the week that ended last Saturday (11th September) they fell to 93ti. The deaths among children under 15 years in the first week in August were 656; last week they were 485. These numbers indicate an improved state of health in the infant part of the population, who suffer so much from the summer epidemic. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842. 51 the average number of deaths was 1,119, which, with a correction for increased population, becomes 1,231. But this average is greatly augmented by the 2,865 deaths, principally from cholera, that oc curred in the corresponding week of 1849, after the epidemic had attained its maximum and had begun to subside. Last week smallpox was fatal in 10 cases, measles in only 4; the cases referred to typhus are 32. Diarrhos3, dysentery, and cholera steadily decline; they were moat fatal in the first week of August, when the deaths caused by the three diseases were collectively 241; their decrease since that week is shown by the following numbers :-219, 228, 148, 120, and last week 101. On the other hand, scarla tina appears to be making some progress, and week 58 children were its victims. The following are five cases of cholera registered in the week :—At 3 a, Sussex-terrace, Brompton, on sth September, the daughter of a banker's clerk aged 7 months, " cholera infantum (5 days) ; attended 2 days." At 23 a, Bute-street, Brompton, on 10th Septem ber, the son of a journeyman tailor, aged 6 months, "cholera infantum (4 days)." In Hoxton Old Town, at 6, Ivy-lane, on Bth Sep tember, the daughter of an envelope maker, aged two months, " infantine cholera (6 days)." In the sub-district of Leather-market, Bermondsey, at 1, Tyer's Gateway, on sth September, the daughter of a journeyman tanner, aged 11 weeks, "cholera in fantum (2 days)." At Deere. place, Lee, on sth September, the son of a coachman, aged 9 months, "cholera infantum (2 days)." On the 9th September, at 1, Dawes-lane, Wal ham- green, the son of an Irish labourer, aged 3 years, died of " dysentery (4 weeks) low fever." The death of another child in the same lane, caused by pneumo nia, diarrhoea, and low fever, was recorded in the re turn for the week ending the 4th September, where the sanitary condition of the place was described. In reference to the case now registered the medical at tendant says :—" This is another instance of an ordi nary and tractable disease degenerating into low fever, owing to causes already mentioned." Mr. Knight, the registrar of the sub-district (Fulham), also re porta a death from typhus, after three weeks' illness, in an over-crowded cottage, 4, Carpenter's-row, and adds :ea." The body was not buried till Friday after noon, although in a very bad state, and when it was brought into the churchyard the 4mell was intoler able.'

Though so often discussed there are members of the House of Commons, as well as people out of doors, who do not clearly comprehend what is meant by protection, and who confound reduction of all Cus tom house duties with protection. In the report of the Committee of which Mr. Hume was chairman, presented late in the session of 1840, the distinction is clearly pointed out between the protective duties and the duties for revenue, and to that we would refer those who have any doubts. The former " protective duties" they recommend to be repealed, and the latter to be reduced to such a rate as to afford, by low pri ce 3, the greatest consumption to the people, and by the same means an increased revenue to the state. The report states that " the tariff often aims at incompatible ends; the duties are sometimes meant to be both productive of revenue and for protective objects, which are frequently inconsistent with each other : hence the duties sometimes operate to the complete exclusion of foreign produce, and thus injures the trade of the country s and often, when the duty is inordinately high, the amount of revenue becomes in consequence trifling." A broad distinction is drawn by the witnesses before the Import Committee between the duties charged upon articles imported of the same kind as those pro duced within the United Kingdom, whether menu • factured or agricultural, and all duties upon all such articles are, strictly speaking, for protection, and do in fact give protection, to the native producers, by which duty the price of such article is increased by the amount of the duty, and the price to the consumer becomes much greater by the indirect taxation. The Committee recommended all that class of duties to be repealed; and as far as those duties have been taken off, both the agriculturist s and the manufacturers have felt the benefit of the removal of those protective duties in the diminution of prices at which, before the repeal of those duties, the articles were sold. Sir R. Peel, having become convinced of the impolicy of maintaining these duties, removed all prohibitions and many of those protective duties partially, and the public have felt the great and important effects of the repeal of those prohibitions and duties in the promotion of trade, in the increase of employment and in wages generally, and the Protectionist now admits the prosperity that now spreads over all the industry of the nation save and except for th e ca p i talists and trades that wire protected. The ir labou rers have benefited equally with other labou rers b y th e repeal of the corn-laws, and by the free dom that h as been given by the tariff of 1842 and su b,e q uent y ea rs.

Peel attacked b mer. se H e ImportDuties' C ommittee, and made jest to the House 18 at i t t a w ck il e l d of the recommendation of M r . H ume t o remove 1,000 out of 1,15 0 entries in the Customs' import tariff, yet when he took office, and was obliged to provide for the s ervice of the year , he became a sin • cere convert to that opinion, and within the year after his return to office introduced Bills by which 600 or 700 of the entries of articles were removed from the tariff, and many others greatly modified. By the returns to Parliament, No. 141, of 1852, the aggregate amount of protective duties appears to have been 434,1541. on 233 manufactured articles : and 916,4351. on 42 articles of agricultural produce,show ing the aggregate amount of protection to a ll ki n d s of imports was 1,350,5891. into the United Kingdom in the year ending the sth of Jan,, 1851. Now that we have time to turn our attention to the future financial situation of the country, we would direct the attention of all classes to the case which Mr. Hume proposed for discussion in the last Parliament. The following was his notice of mo • Wan for Tues day, June 22, 1852, by Mr. H u me : That it appears, by returns (P. Paper 267, 267-1 1 of 1852) on the table of the House, th at there are 233 entries in the Custom-house tariff list of foreign manu factured articles charg ed in the y ear 1851 with duties o f import into the Unit ed Kingdom, varying in amount from ono to fifty per cent. on the valu e of such art i cling, and such articles may be class ed un der five schedules or lists, viz., producing in Import Duty.

That this House will, at an early period, take into its consideration the inequality and injustice of the existing tariff on articles of import into this country, both of manufactures and agricultural produce, with the view of speedily removing the inequalities of import duties affecting unfairly every ihter.st in the country. The object of Mr. Hume was to explsin to the House and to the country that, although Sir R. Peel had struck off the tariff 600 or 700 extras in the customs imports, that there yet remain (and he has had them all stated in these returns to avoid cavil and opposition) 233 of manufactured, and 42 of agri cultural produce having a protection of near 1 mil lions sterling. Mr. Hume, in the last paragraph of his resolution, desires to pledge the House to an early consideration of those duties, with the view of carrying out free trade fully and completely, as demanded by the agri cultural interests, as we think fairly and justly. We would recommend the Marquis of Granby and all that class of quondam protectionists (for we must suppose there are no Protectionists now in the Mi nistry) to examine those returns carefully, and to make the distinction between the articles imported and duties imposed for revenue, and those with du ties of a protective nature. We trust that the new Parliament will be soon called upon to make the dis tinction.—Morning Paper. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE.—The hop picking has generally begun, but has been much retarded by the weather. In most places the growth is equal to expectation as to quantity; the quality is various, and where there is the least unkindliness gets worse rapidly. Very fine samples will not be abundant, yet we shall grow many good hops. The College Ground, in which a begin ning was made yesterday, experienced judges say they never saw looking finer. CRANBROOK.—We never recollect the aroma more fragrant and rich, and a growth luxuriant in quan tity will be equalled if not surpassed in superiority of quality; this must turn out a good growth for the picker, as the hops are large and will require but few, comparatively speaking, to fill the bushel; and also, as the " labourers are few," a remunerating price must be paid for picking. We doubt not that the price to the grower will be remunerative, especially as the small quantity of old hops on hand must have the effect of rendering the present crop more valuable. CANTERBURY.—Pecking is now becoming general in this neighbourhood. The hops look exceedingly well, and large in some grounds, while in others the recent hot days with heavy rains, and damp foggy nights, have had an injurious effect, resulting in the appearance of red mould. The yield is anticipated to reach about half a ton an acre, while the duty is esti mated at from 240.0001. to 250,000/. ASHFORD, SEPT. 9.—We never saw the hops look better than they do at present, the whole of the plan tations have a beautiful appearance, and the crop abundant ; picking is commenced ; no mould or dis ease whatever. TENTEEDEN, SEPT. 9.—We are continuing to look well; the hops in most gardens have arrived at per fection, and picking has become general, with every prospect of an abundant crop. EMT SUTTON.—Our hops continue to improve, and, generally speaking, are extraordinarily good ; the mould, however, is on the increase. Picking has commenced. EAST FARLEIGH.—The hops in our neighbourhood look well, but in some plantations the mould is spread ing very fast We have commenced picking, and hope to realise a good crop. It is idle to attempt to set the duty at present, as everything depends on the weather. TUNBRIDGE, SEPT. 9.—We have an abundant crop of hops in this parish ; one garden near the town is estimated at 30 cwt. per acre. FARNHAM, SEPT. B.—Our town is filled with pickers, who are committing great havoc among the hops. The planters seem well contented with the growth this year, which has been unequalled here for some years. BOUGHTON MONCHELSEA.—The hops in our neigh bourhood are doing wonderfully well. There cer tainly is mould, but it does not much increase. We have commenced picking.—Kentish Gazette. THE LONDON NECROPOLIS. A party of about 300 gentlemen, comprised principally of deputations from the metropolitan parishes, proceeded on Thursday, on invitation, by special train, from the South-Western station, Waterloo-road, to inspect the site of the proposed " London Necropolis and National Mausoleum," at Woking Common. TtiMay was most auspicious, the sun shining out in all his splendour, and the country through which the cortege passed charmingly picturesque. The proposed site, comprising an area of 2,000 acres, is six and twenty miles from the metropolis, is in close contiguity to the South-Western line of railway, but at a considerable elevation 'above it, and io approachable at present by an easy path, which winds its mazy way up the green sward slope, having gained the summit of which, the expansive area strikes the eye as a m Ignificent panorama. The ground, undulating gracefully, and encircled by a chain of hills, also varying in form, indicates the spot as most suitable and well chosen for the design of a cemetery. &sides the deputation of guardians, several clergy men of the Established Church, the Roman Catholic Church, and of various denominations of Dissenters, were present, in order to view the ground, and become informed of the particulars connected with the design, a ram of which was circulated. Judging from this, the design of which is by Mr. H. R. Abraham, architect, the cemetery, when laid out, will present many beautiful features of attraction. The prospectus states that the Government having put an end to the powers of the Board of Health, the ground was left clear to the " London Necropolis and National Mausoleum Company," to meet the wants of the community by the establishment of a really exiles mural place of interment. The area is capable of fur nishing separate graves for several millions of bodies. A tariff of charges for conveyance and interment of the bodies is to be published, in which the cost for pauper interment is to be lowest, that for artisans and their families next in consideration, and so on in the scale of gradation. Thus the large surplus of mortality will be provided for, decently and religiously, at a cost, as was stated in the course of the proceedings, considerably below the existing charges ; and without inter fering with parishes, or the religious rites of any class, the company propose that each de nomination of religionists shall have their own clergyman, and be at liberty to perform the funeral ce remony according to their own form. A church is to be erected, and so constructed that several religious deno minations may have the burial service gone through over the deceased without interference with, or being seen by each other. Parishes and religious communities may have their respective sections, thus preserving the distinctive marks of parochial interments on the one hand, and of religious denominations' burial spots on the other. The soil is composed of a dry sandy clay, be neath a light peat surface. With respect to the pauper funerals, it appears that the expense of transit by the rail and of interment is to be 155., including fees, with liberty to send two attendants to Woking and back; and on the subject of incumbents' burial fees, the company contemplate the creation of a fund, included in their charges, as a compensation fund, so that those parties will continue to receive the fee payable on interment, without being called upon, except where desired, to dis charge the duty. The ground having been viewed, the deputations were invited by the directors to partake of a cold collation, which was provided for them in a spacious marquee, pitched on the green award for the occasion. It was a well-furnished repast, with excellent wines and good attendance. W. J. Vow,Es, Esq., barrister-at-law, baying proposed the health of the Queen, and subsequently that of Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family, then entered into a statement of the circumstances which led to the formation of the company, and the purchase from Lord Onslow of the site for the Necropolis. He criticised the Metropolitan Interment Act, and referred to the Metro politan Burial Act, which took away all the objection able parts of that Act, including that part which gave power to the authorities to take possession of the bodies as soon as the breath was out of them, Since the com mencement of the career of the London Necropolis and National Mausoleum Company, they bad endeavoured to constitute themselves as a silver thread, as it were, running through those Aets, and endeavouring to secure for the different parishes the power of taking possession of the bodies of their own parishioners, and of intering them with all the solemnity to which they were entitled. They proposed to give allotments of land to parishes and religious bodies ; and by the adoption of their plan a saving of one million of money would be effected in the first instance in favour of the public, and of eighty thousand a year. in the next. By the provisions of their plan, all parties might lie c onfortably together in the Necropolis, without the annoyance to the survivors of solicitors, and Chancery suits, whom and which the company had resolved to steer clear of. Everything connected with their object was simple and defined. It was desirable that some such cemetery, offering really extramural interment, should be called into existence, so as not to have London surrounded with a belt of cemeteries, like ancient Rome. The company's plan was a great and comprehensive one, with a permanency of character about it, and until London reach Woking, or " Burnham-wood reach Dun sincere," it would be the cemetery for the population of the vast metrop dia. They intended to have a handsome fence about it, and with the blessing of God, if the com p oky went on, the; would " feed" their friends as well as they had entertained them now, and better. To be serious, all dead bodies would receive the same sacred attention; and thPir (the company's) object in bringing the parochial deputations there today, was to exhibit to thew an area of the cemetery, and to take them out of the trammels in which they were. Mr. ROGERS, a medical gentleman, who has taken an active part in graveyard agitation, moved the first reso lution, to the effect—That the public are greatly indebted to the London Necropolis Company, for having b.ecured by Act o f P ar liament a Bill for a national cemetery of such vast extent as to meet all the requirements of the metropolis, &c. Mr. Martstrau, seconded, and Mr. GEORGE, Of St. Anne's, and Mr. LEWIS, of St. Clement's, supported the resolution, which was carried unenimeusly. A second resolution, prupusing the thauks of th. meet ing to the directors of the company for having invited the parochial authorities and other parties to an inspeo, tion of the site of the cemetery, was moved by Mr. WHITMORE, or Marylebone, and carried unanimously. Mr. SAUNDERS an - d .severai other gentlemon suose qnintly addressed tho meeting ou the undecided ques tion of appointment of a contuniLtee, all the speak(ls ex pressing th,ir approbation of the, site, after which, and thanks to the chairman, the husinosa terminated. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner EvANs.) IN RE A. MILLER. The bankrupt who was a corn dealer, and had carried on business at Conduit.street West, applied for his certificate. Mr. LAWRENCE, for the assignees, did not oppose. The debts were 5,0001.; assets about 1,100/. His HONOUR remarked that the balance-sheet showed that the bankrupt had traded most unwisely and recklessly, but no charge of fraud had been made against him ; and it appeared; from the statement of Mr. Johnson, the official assignee, that the bankrupt had done everything in his power to assist his credi tors since the failure. The certificate (second class) would be suspended six months, with protection. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) IN RE THOMAS ASHBY. This insolvent applied to be discharged. No credi tor opposed ; but the Learned Commissioner, upon examining the schedule, found that the insolvent about four years ago petitioned under the protection clause as a trader owing less than SOW., and obtained a final order. The debts in that schedule were stated at 2981. 12s. 9d., and in the present schedule has en tered a creditor for 1001., due in 1848, for which he held a lease as a security., The insolvent said he did not consider himself bound to insert that creditor in the former schedule, as he held security. Mr. Commissioner LAW said that might be, but he had also concealed the fact of his possessing any lease. He had deceived the creditor and the Court formerly, and was not entitled to immediate discharge. When six months were gone, he might expect to be discharged.—Adjourned sine die.

IN RE GEORGE BUTLER. This insolvent was heard before the vacation, and came up to-dad• for judgment. Mr. Commissioner LAW ordered him to be dis charged forthwith, but shortly after, being reminded of his expressed intention to remand the insolvent, sent him back, and pronounced the less agreeable judg ment of a discharge after ten calendar months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Isabella Reid and Jane Price were brought up, charged with having committed several robberies. Jane Price, who is a simple looking girl, between 14 and 15 years of age, got into the temporary ser vice of a respectable woman by appearing to be in extreme distress, and contrived to prevail upon her mistress to entrust a large bundle of clothes to Isa bella Reid, as a laundress. Neither clothes nor laundress ever appeared at the house afterwards; but the police, who had received information from other quarters about the latter prisoner, secured her, and yesterday the justice-room was crowded with women who had been plundered by a pretended washerwoman, who was found to be Mrs. Reid. Mrs. Elizabeth Casey, of Harpur-street, Red Lion square, said—On the 17th of August Reif called at my house and told me she was recommended to me by Mrs. King, a lady of my acquaintance, as a laundress. I wished at the time to change my laundress, and I gave her a bundle of articles for the wash. I never saw them again. The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to ask the witness any questions ? bare nothing to ask her ; I never saw her before. Miss Sarah Allen—l reside with my mother in Spencer-street, Canonbury-equare. On the 16. h of February Reid came to the house and said she was sent for the clothes by Mrs. Odell, who is our laun dress. The clothes were accordingly delivered to her. We never got the clothes back, and I have never seen the woman to whom they were delivered until now. The LORD MAYOR—Are you quite sure that Reid is the person to whom they were d e livered? Witness —I have not the least doubt of it. Reid—Not a bit of it. lam not the person at all. The mother of Miss Alien confirmed the statement of that young lady. Mrs. Mayhew, of Wood street, Exmouth-street, Clerkenyvell—l lake in mangling. Ou the 13th of August the prisoner Reid caine to my house and said she came for a bundle of mangling from 42, Easton street. I,had received a bundle of clothes from that number for the mangle, and I delivered a dozen and 11 articles which belonged to a Mrs. Beddome to her. I had no doubt that all was right, as she called a little before the exact time at whit's the owner had ordered them to be punctually ready. Reid—l know nothin g at an about you. Mrs. Moseley—l am the landlady of the house in which the last witness resides, and I can swear to the voice of the prisoner Reid and to her bonnet and figure. I did not see her face, but I heard her talk about the mangling. lam surprised at the denial of Reid ; fur she said, when I was brought to look at her, that as I was come there was no use in her con• tradiction. The police officer said there were seven or eight cases more ready, in which the parties h a d be e n rob bed in a similar manner, and if the charges were generally know n 40 or 50 cases would be forthcoming. The LORD MAYOR—There have been cases enough against Reid, when the evidence shall be completed she shall go for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Charles Rock, a boy scarcely twelve years of age, was charged with the following heartless robberies:— The prisoner's mother, an impoverished widow, who sobbed vi o l en tl y an d was pa i n f u ll y a ff ec t e d w hil e giving evidence against her son, stated, that since the death of her hushand, which occurred about tour months ago, she had endeavoured to obtain a subsis tence for herself and two children by her labours as a laundress, but that she was greatly harassed by the scandalous conduct of the prisoner, who was con stantly in the habit of stealing everything he could lay his hands upon. Not satisfied with stealing property which really belonged to her, he was con tinually involving her in disgrace and difficulty by purloining the property of persons who employed her in her business, and who not only made her recom pense them for what they had lost, but in many in stances refused to employ her any longer. During the last week she contrived with difficulty to put by enough to pay her rent, and on leaving home on Monday morning placed it under a teacup on the mantlepiece, where she thought it would be safe, as the prisoner had absented himself from home for several days ; but on returning home in a few hours she found that he had clandestinely got into the house during her ab,ence, and not only robbed her of that money, but also took all the food out of the cupboard, and everything else of a portable description that he could conveni ently carry off. The prisoner then absconded from home again, and she saw nothing more of him until the preceding evening, when he was brought home by one of the neighbours, who had, accidentally met him in the street, and he having acknowledged that he had spent the money he had stolen, she gave him at once into custody, as she was wholly at a loss what to do with him. The poor woman added that, in ad dition to the conduct she had just detailed, the pri soner had also tried to corrupt the morals of his younger sister, whom he frequently beat because she would not help him to plunder her, and had ac tually upon one occasion stripped the clothes off the child's back, torn them up, and then sold them for old rags. The boy did not deny what his mother had stated, and Mr. Manilla., who said it was certainly a very painful case, ordered him to he committed until that day week, for the completion of the evidence. WESTMINSTER. William Bessill, a well-known thief, and Mr. R. Brooks, were finally examined, charged on suspicion of stealing eleven valuable gold watches from the shop of Mr. J. Walker Brown, dealer in antique furniture and articles of vertu, 48, Sloane-street, Chelsea. Mr. BEADON, after a most careful and lengthened investigation of the whole of the circumstances con nected with the case, expressed himself perfectly satis fied with the evidence produced by Mr. Clarkson, and discharged Mr. Brooks, his client. Mr. Solomons addressed the magistrate on behalf of Bessill, and submitted that there was not sufficient evidence to send to trial upon. Mr. BEADON said it was his duty to send him be fore a jury, but he would take two sureties in 50/. for his appearance. Bessill was committed in default. No trace has ever been discovered of the watches.
