A numerous meeting of Chartists was held this after noon on Clerkenwell- green, fur the purpose of electing three delegates to represent the metropolis in the Chartist convention, which is about to hold its sittings at the Literary Institution, John-street, Tottenham court-road. Be fore the hour appointed for corn. mencing the business of the meeting, an indivi• dual named Salmon took upon himself the task of explaining the six points of the Charter, and detailing Ile regulations that would be adopted next Monday in conveying the monster petition to the House. He then moved a resolution, pledging those who were prevent to join in the procession that would accompany the petition, armed each with trun cheons or thick sticks, to preserve order, and prevent unnecessary interference on the part of the police. At the close of the preliminary proceedings, a waggon was drawn up in the centre of the green, and a nr. Dix )n was voted to preside. The CHAfemAx, having briefly exhorted the meeting to observe order ie its proceedings and support the chair, proceeded to introduce a number of well-known Chqr. Alta, who proposed that Messrs. Cuffay, Tapp, and CI i d should be elected to represent them in the delegation. The CHAIRMAN asked if anybody wished to propose any one else ? Mr. SALASION, the party who had before enlightened the meeting on the merits of the Charter, said he would propose that Mr. Bronterre O'Brien be elected a delegate. The motion having been duly seconded, A; Mr. JENNINGS proposed that Dr. M'DouALL be eleeted a delegate. Mr. CLARIE said the Doctor had already declined to sit on the delegation. The names were then put to the vote, when The CHAIRMAN declared the show of hands to be in favour of Messrs. O'Brien, Cuffay, and Child. The meeting was then addressed by Mr. ERNEST JONES, and several other fiery chartists, after which the assembled multitude quietly dispersed. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'clock. PETITIONS. Lord STANLEY presented several petitions from members of Odd Fellows' Societies, praying that their societies might he legalized. The Earl of FALMOUTH presented several peti tions against the imposition of legacy duties on charitable bequests. Lord Campbell, Lord Redesdale, the Earl of Hardwicke, and Lord Beaumont, presented several petitions, p ra yi ng f or t h e l egalisation of Odd Fellows Societies. OD F ELLOWS. Lord BEAUMONT D gave notice that to-morrow he should b r i ng i n a Bill to legalise Odd Fellows' Socit ties. INCREASE IN THE EXPENDITURE. The Earl of ELLEBOROUGII, in allusion to the subject on which he hat addressed the 'Luse on a former evening, complained again of the increase which had token place in various departments. The Earl of AUCKLAND again explained the cause of the increase in the Admiralty department. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH complained of the appointment alluded to by the Noble llarquia the other eveni ng o f an old woman, as letter carrier in some remote village, for unless she carried 2,401 letters additional per annum, her appointment was a loss to the public. After a few words from Earls GREY and ELLEN BOROUG Hi The Marquis of LANSDOWNE defended the appointment of " the Old woman," as conducing to the accommodation of the public, more particularly of the poorer classes. The subject then dropped. AUSTRIA AND SARDINIA. The Earl of ABERDEEN begged to remind their Lordships that a copy of a declaration► made to the Austrian Government by her Majesty's Government bad been laid on the table of the House, in which it was stated that her Majesty's Go vernment would not look upon any aggres sion in the tt rritory of Sardinia with inditfer ence. He knew not if a declaration had been made to Sardinia of a similar nature, hut it ought to have been made. The King of Sar dinia had been the first power who had violated the public law tf Europe, invading the country of an ally without provocation; and he thought that this ought Let to be passed unnoticed by those who wished to preserve the public peace of Europe. It shou!d be remembered, that Lombardy had been under the Government of Austria fur three cen turies, and therefore Austria could hardly be con sidered as a usurping power ; a.d he vrished to ask if her Majesty's Government had expressed to Ot:Jar dinian Government that any aggression of this de scription could not he viewed by Great Britain with indifference. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE would not follow the Noble Earl in his general observations, hut in an swer to his question he would state that the advice given to the Kieg of Sardinia had been thought to ob serve a perfect neutrality. He would also state that the King of Sardinia had not interfered until it had been almost certain that the Austrians could not maintain themselves in Lombardy, and it was not for him to say whether, it the Austrians could not maintain themselres t;ere, it would he advantageous to Europe for at King of Sardinia to continue in his interference. Lord STANLEY rose, and was (LsrT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKkiIt. teok the Chair shortly before Four o'clock. NEW AIEMBER. Captain SOMERSE T trek the oaths and his neat fur the county of Monmouth, in the room of the late Lord Granville Somerset. BIRKENHEAD DOCKS. On the motion of Sir P. EGEItION, after a few words frctn Mr. CARDwELL, it was ordered that the evidence given before the Committees of this House in the sessions of 1894, 1845, and 1847, on the Birkenhead Commissioners I),,ek Bills and the Birkenhead Company's Dock Bill, he referred to the Committee on Group 10 of Private Bills. The reports on the Small Tenements Rating Bill and the Leicester Cemetery Bill were further con sidered and agreed to. Several petitions were prestnted against private Bills. The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY presented petitions from York in favour of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. Mr. HENRY presented a petition from Lancaster, praying that an Act might be passed to authori,e a general system of secular education throughout the county of Lancaster. i'ROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES.

GROSVENOR presented petitions from tie journeymen bakers of Middlesex, praying the linmse to take their grievances into consideration.

VANE presented a petition from Stockton upon-Tees, praying for the removal of the lega cy duties on charitable bequests. Leave of absence was given to Sir Alexander %Vood for ten days, on urgent private business, and to Mr. Roche for six weeks, on urgent business. :NOTICE OF MOTION. Mr. OSBORNE gave notice that, on Monday next, he would move for a Select Committee to in quire into the management of the Courts of Chanctry and Exchequer in Ireland, with the view of ascer taining how far the system of managing the estates under their control was conducive to the happiness of the tenantry. SOCIAL CONDITION OF TIIE PEOPLE. Mr. lIORSMAN said, seeing the lion. Gentle man the Member for Ashton-under-Lyne (Mr. Hindley) in his place, he wished to ask him if it was his intention to bring on the motion which stood first on the paper for to-morrow ; namely, to call the attention of th? Howl; to the state of the industrious classes of the country ? He asked the question, as he had an important motion lower down on the paper, with the bringing on: of which it would much inter f2re—namely, for doing away with the distinction between the episcopal and common fund. Mr. HINDLEY replied that he had been requested by several Hon. Members to defer his motion. He intended to accede to their request, and to postpone it until after Easter. He might take that opportunity of stating that his address would simply refer to the moral and social, and not to the political, condition of the people ; that was a matter which he intended to leave to future consideration : it would, therefore, have only reference to their social condi tion, in doing which he should call the attention of the House to the admirable way in which the working classes had conducted themselves during seasons of great privation and suffering, and to suggest the pro priety of the House adopting measures to alleviate their sufferings. THE PUBLIC HEALTH BILL. Lord MOItPETH presented petitions from Brad ford, Warwick, Aylesbury, Leeds, Exeter, Hull, and other places, in favour of this Bill. Mr. CARDWELL said the amended copy of the Bill had only been placed in tie hands of Hon. Members that morning, and as it was one in which the large towns felt great interest, he would suugest the propriety of the Noble Lord postponing the Com mittee which stood for to-day until those who would be affected by the Bill had had an opportunity of making themselves acquainted with the alterations that had been made in it. Lord MORPETH replied that it was quite right the parties interested should have an opportunity of discussing the provisions of the Bill, and with that view it was nit his intention to propose that the Bill go into Committee this week ; he should, however, move that the House go into Committee on the Bill this day week. CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS. Lord MORPETII presented a petition from Hull, praying that charitable institutions might be ex empted from the payment of the legacy duty. DUTY ON POST-HORSES. Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from the post masters of Manchester, complaining of the great amount of taxation to which they were subjected, which, owing to the great and increasing competition of railways, had proved ruinous to a great many in their business. They prayed for the relief the Government promised them, but had not yet fulfilled, and for the repeal of the assessed taxes upon all carriages, &c., used for trade purposes. COURT OF EXCHEQUER (IRELAND.) In answer to a question put by Mr. OSBORNE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he was afraid that he should be compelled to give the same answer as he had done on previous occasions with respect to other measures, as he was not aware what course the Government would be able to adopt with respect to the introduction of a measure fur the regulation of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland. HORSHAM ELECTION. Mr. MONSELL wished to know what course the Government meant to adopt with respect to the issue of the writ for the borough of ilorsLam. Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was his intention to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the purpose of instituting inquiries into the corrupt practices alleged to have been committed in that borough. The Noble Lord then gave notice of his intention to move to morrow for leave to introduce the Bill. OATHS OF MEMBERS. On the motion of Mr. GOULBURN the follow. ing Members were appointed to constitute the Com mittee on Oaths of Members :—Mr. Goulburn, Sir Robert Peel, the Attorney• General, Sir Frederick Thesiger, Lord Seymour, Sir George Clerk, 111 r. Bernal, iMr. Henley, Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, Mr. Cardwell, Sir William Heathcote, the Judge Advocate, Sir Rolett Harry Inglis, Mr. Thornely, and Mr. Ord. DERBY ELECTION. Mr. HUME gave notice of his intention to move, to-morrow, that the minutes of evidence given before the Derby Election Committe should be printed and laid upon the table of the House. NAVIGATION LAWS. Mr. BAILEY wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to bring forward any measure on the subject of the navigation laws before Easter, as it was most important that such measure, if proposed, should be brought on at such a period as to afford ample time for receiving not only the due con sideration of Hon. Members, hut also of the country. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the Government could not bring forward any Bill upon the matter until after the (louse had passed a resolution upon the subject. Such resolution could not pass until the Government had entered fully into the whole ques tion of the policy of the Giovernment on the subject, and he did ►:ot think that they would be able to do that before Easter. CAL(GOES OF COTTON AT HAVRE. Mr. BRIGHT wished to know whether the Government could not adopt some measure fur allowing several cargoes of cotton which were now in the port of Havre, imported by ships from the United States, to be brought into this country. Mr. LABOUCHERE said, that he apprehended nothing could be clearer than that it was impossible, under the present navigation-laws, to import cargoes of cotton from Havre in any ship whatever. The ohject of the navigation-lawn, to afford to British ships, the benefit of "the long voyages," would be entirely defeated if cotton were to be al lowed to be imported from Havre. lie did not think that the Government would be justified in setting aside the navigation-laws, in order to allow cargoes of cotton to be imported into this country from Havre. EMIGRANTS TO CANADA. In answer to a question put by Mr. MONSELL, Mr. _HAWES said that, since he had answered the questions recently put to him on this subject, accounts had been received from Canada of the passing of an Act imposing higher taxes upon all end. grants arriving in that country ; it imposed he believed a tax of 10s. per head upon all emigrants, whether able•bodied or not; there were also other severe provisions in the Bill. Up to the present time, however, the Act had not been received in this country, and until it had been formally communimed to this Government he could not state what course could be adopted by the Government with respect to it. In the present state of the province with reference to emigration he could not hold out any hope that it would he possible to disallow the Act. An expense of nearly 100,0001. had been imposed by this country on Canada fur emigration. ACCIDENT AT LEEDS. Dr. BOWRING wished to know from the Secre tary of State for the Home Department whether he had receired any official information of a dreadful accident, accompanied with loss of life, at a colliery near Leeds, and if he had, whether h . e intended t o a ll ow a comm i ss i oner t o go d own t o inquire int o th e su bj ect. . G. GREY had not received any official infor mation on the subject; when he did he would take care that proper inquiry should be instituted on the subject._ SURVEY OF THE METROPOLIS. Lord LINCOLN wished to know from the Chan cellor of the Exchequer whether the suspension of the survey of the metropolis had taken place, as was rumoured ; and if it had, whether it was in conse quence of any alteration in the plans of the Govern ment ? He also wished to know whether the ex pense was to he paid out of the public funds? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he entertained the opinion he had already ex pressed that not more than 1,0001. of the expense ought to be paid out of the public fund, and he could not sanction a greater expense. THE BISHOP OF EXETER. Mr. CHILDERS wished to put a question to the Attorney-General relative to certain proceedings of the Bishop of Exeter. The Lord Chancellor had appointed a clergyman of the name of God dard to a living in the diocese of Exeter; and the Bishop of that diocese, after having that gentleman under examination for eleven hours, had refused to induct him to the living on the ground of his want of orthodoxy. He was, therefore, desirous of knowing whether the Government intended to take any steps on the subject in order to set aside the acts of the Bishop of Exeter. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the subject was under the consideration of the Govern ment, in order that the best course might be adopted. SEWERS. Lord MORPETH, in answer to a question from Sir B. Hall, said it was intended by the Commis sioners cf Sewers, that the expense of making out the plans of the sewers of the metropolis should be paid out of the sewer rates collected in the metropolis. TAX. ATION. Noble Lord at hil n'elf, had notices of motion on the books relative to ;the t axat i on of the country, and it would per- haps sav e t h e time of the House, . Ai r. EwART said several Hon. Members, like being rendered unnecessary, if' the ' the h ea d of the Government wou lwhether it u state hy these motions 0 was his i ntention to take into his consideration the general pubjeet of taxation in the country.—(iiear.) Lord J. RU SSELL said he hrd stated on a former occasion th at Government were prepared to go into the subject, b ut i t was impouible f o r hi m to say when they would be in a position to bring it under the con sideration of the House. GALWAY GAOLS. Mr. P. SCROPE wished to know from the Right lion. the Secretary of State for the home Depart ment, whether it was true that the county gaol of Galway contai ne d 7 55 prisoners, when it was ao only built to .accommodate 154. Of -the former number no loss than 108 hed• died..since their confinement w ithin • the - last •three months while eleven ,others died within twenty-four hours after their imprisonment. Fever and dyssentery were rife in the prison, and it was stated that the ordinary bridewells of the town were in a no better con dition.—(Hear, hear.) Sir G. GREY said, if the Hon Gentleman had given him notice of the question, he would have been prepared to answer, but he could state at once that the gaols of Galway were in an overcrowded state, and measures were being taken by the Irish Govern ment to get rid of the evils which had resulted from this state of things.—(Hear, hear.)3 STATE OF IRELAND. On the motion being put for reading the order of the day for going into Committee on the Jewish Dis abilities Bill. Lord JOCELYN rose and said in putting the qustion of which he had given notice relative to the state of Ireland, he felt it was impossible for him to do so without violating the rules and regulations of the House by prefacing it with a few words of expla nation. In order however that he might be in a situation to crave the indulgence of the House in that respect, he had given notice that he would put the question on taking the order of the day, and he therefore hoped the House would have no difficulty in acceeding to him the indulgence which he asked.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it right to state to the House that, looking to the present state of things in Ireland, he felt it to be his duty, not only as a matter of justice to the Government, but to enable the Noble Lord to consider the subject before he was called upon to answer his enquiry, to state to the Noble Lord at the head of the Government the purport of the ques tion which he wished to put to him. Indeed it was impossible that he could have done otherwise than put the Noble Lord in possession of that information, for he felt that this was not the tune when men could wish to embarrass Government, or check the present administration of the affairs of Ireland, and he had to thank the Noble Lord for the permission he had given him to put the question. He could assure the House that the answer to the question he was about to pat was looked for with great interest by all her Majesty's loyal subjects in Ireland. He believed that the attention of the public, and every Member of that Heuse, must have been directed, within the last few weeks, to the mischievous and traitorous con duct of certain people in Ireland. He believed there was not a single Member in that House who had not seen with indignation and disgust the language that certain mischevious and traitorous men had ad dressed to the people of Ireland avowedly for the purpose of overturning the institutions of the country and levying war upon the Crown, by inciting the people to overt acts of rebellion.—(Hear.) With similar feelings had the public of this country seen that men had been found in Ireland so devoid of their own and all national honour as to be at this moment asking from a foreign country for the loans of arms to carry out their nefariousand traiterous objects, and he an aslrish man, but the representative of an English Constituence felt to be his duty, though he did it in sor rrow to call the attention of the English re presentatives in that House to the effect which this mischievous language and traitorous conduct upon certain dissatisfied individuals in the country. But the majority of tho subjects of the city, he was happy to say, were loyal and patriotic, but still this language of these mischievous persons in Ireland must be checked, or it would sap the loyal feelings of even the people of this nation.—(Hear, hear.) The Lord. Lieutenant had been enabled by his policy to rally round him persons of all ranks and of all persuasions, but he had been unable to put down this rebellious language of these mischievous men. Feeling as he did with thousand* of his Countrymen that such conduct must lead to blood shed, though they did not fear the result so far as the safety of the institutions of the country were concerned, yet they deplored the consequences which must ensure if they remained unchecked they had in their memories the recollection of the blood that had been shed in civil contests in Ireland, and wishing to see civil war driven from her shores, and in their name 1 asked the Noble Lord whether he thought there was sufficient power still vested in the executive to crush this rebellious spirit at its birth, or whether he did not think the tine had come that some alteration should be inside in the law which allowed the mitigation of rebellion. to escape, whilst his unfortunate victim is doomed to condign punishment, and, further, whether he thought the time had not came when the executive should be endowed with power to act with more vigour and effect whenever any emergency might occur. Lord J. RUSSELL then rose, and proceeded to address the House amid profound silence. Sir, I rise with considerable anxiety to answer the question of the Noble Lord. It is Ifu i t e true that language of the nature that he has described has been used in Ireland—language exciting the rebel lion against the Crown—language exciting the people to acts of violence against persons and pro p-rty, and with the view to establi-h Ireland as a separate nation, independent of the Crown of these nations. Such language may at some periods be passed over as the mere ravings of a distempered fancy, which may have no dangerous effect. Un fortunately it is not so at the present moment. —(Hear, hear.) 1 have to look at the effect pro duced—partly to the excitable nation of those to whom such language is addressed—partly to the very great distress which has been felt by all classes now during three years—distress which natu rally induces them to listen to any desperate remedy, and thirdly, to the great excitement occa sioned by the events which have recently taken place in France and in other parts of the continent. But to whatever cause that language is to be attributed it certainly has been followed by the manufacture of pikes—by the formation of rifle clubs and other preparations, which are openly avowed by a portion of the press of that country, with a view to create civil war. Now, Sir, I cannot agree with the Noble Lord, that in being the cause and instigators of that civil war, it is not so much her Majesty's Government—it is not so much the institutions of the country that are in danger as the peace of Ireland as well as the well being of all classes, especially those classes engaged in the occupations of trade and commerce, my belief certainly is, that those who have used the language to which I have adverted have done so for the purpose of raisin g themselves, careless of the bloodshed and crime they may occasion.—(Elear, hear.) Sir, it is, however, a most difficult and most delicate matter for the Lord Lieuftenent of Ireland to consider what steps ought to be taken. The Noble Lord has, I think, paid a just tribute to my s e hear.)tli t, while A h l si I assurer e an, the d —(l I h a or u,hopeanxious I n need Noble Friend n ow at t h e head of the Government is ) I f o t put down disaffecticn and rebellion, it is his earnest wish to listen to and promote, as he can, remedy an d ame li oration for far y distress or evils whi c h afflict that "- country. With respect to the means now at the disposal of the Government of Ireland for the purpose of meeting the conspiracy to which I have allud e d, h e h as been in constant communication with my Right Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department and with myself. He has informed us that, while on the one side there were evident preparations for rebellion ; that on the other he has received the most gratifying assuarances of loyalty and support from the member, of all classes—from the members of all creeds—from landlords as well as merchants, from Pro testants as :well as Roman Catholics, and from all parts of the country. (Hear, hear.) Sir, the Noble Lord must excuse me, if at the pre sent moment I decline stating what further measures are in contemplation by the Lord Lieutenant and her Majesty's Government. I trust, therefore, that he will be satisfied with the asssurance that we have both in Ireland and in this country, most carefully looked into the law affecting the case —that we have entered into most constant daily com munication with the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, and should he be of opinion, that further powers are necessary which have not yet been obtained, the Go vernment will be prepared to accede to them. I should then feel it my duty—being convinced that such measures as we would wish would be no more than necessary for the occasion—l should then feel it my duty to come down to the House and ask the House to entrust the Government of the country with such further powers (Hear, hear, and cheers) Lord Clarendon has to consider in any proposal that he may make, and in any wish that he may express, that if it should appear, or even bear a semblvnce, that he was favouring any one class of religionists, or of • one particular class of the country above another, that he would th ere b y lose a great deal of the support which he has hitherto obtained in the country—(llear, hear) — because, Sir, as I have already and members of the Protestant profession, the landlords men of the Protestant profession, pro ession, clergy members of the Catholic priests and joined in giving him their best have all the Noble Lord may rest support, but assured that it is the full determination of her Majesty's Go the utmost confidence in Lord Clarverdnm7it, having en on s adininis• tration to do all in their power to support the loyal people of Ireland, to ma i taro the peace o f th at country and n. we shall not shrink fr om as ki ng for f urth er powthersat upon the subject. Mr. W.E. GLADSTONE said that it was with ex treme regret that he had heard the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade make the statement he had with respect to the navigation-laws. This measure had been announced with others in the speech from " the Throne ; all, with the exception of the navigation laws, had been brought under the consideration of the House, and of that they had heard nothing until within the last few days. It was now announced that the Act for the amend ment of those laws would not be introduced until fter Easter ' • the non-introduction of this me asure 'ln tl), after Easter meant that the question would not be disposed of during the present session. He did not think that the country would be satisfied with that proceeding upon the part of her Majesty's Government. Any measure introduced early in May could not possibly be passed during the present session, and he thought that the Bill now before the House might even be now made to give way to the more important subject of the navigation-laws. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he did not think that the complaint of the Right Honourable Baronet were well founded, considering what were the means which the Government hap at their disposal for the consideration of public business. Ile (Lord John Russell) certainly could not have allowed the Income Tax Act or the Mutiny Act to expire, in order to bring the subject of the navigation-laws forward. There might also be other urgent measures required with respect to the state of Ireland, and he dui not wish to be precluded by the navigation laws from considering that subject. The Government had but a few days at their disposal and the press of public business was very great. Sir R. INGLIS said that if the Government required more days in the week, the House ought to grant them that indulgence immediately after the Easter recess. Mr. HUME said that he thought it most im portant that the question of the navigation laws should be speedily settled. (Hear, hear.) Mr. RICARDO deprecated the delay that had taken place in bringing forward the measure. Mr. WAWN did not think it fair to press the measure at the present moment, considering th a t th e r e was a Committee sitting at present:on the shipping interest. Mr. ROBINSON was of the same opinion. He thought the Government had exercised a wise dis• cretion, in not touching the navigation-laws at present. Mr. LABOUCHERE felt convinced the would do no good by bringing on the measure before Easter ; but He trusted that shortly after the reeess the Govern ment would be enabled to bring in a measure on the subject of the navigation-laws, which would meet with the approbation of the House, and be productive of great good. Mr. HLDSON trusted, whenever the Bill was brought in, it would not be allowed to pass into a law in the course of the present session. (LEFT SITTING.) TATTERSALL'S-THIS EVENING. Six o'CLock.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, April 1. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESS WELL.) William Tuberfield, 17, was indicted for mali. ciously stabbing, cutting, and wounding Wm. Hol der, of Bishop's Cleeve, on the 23d of January, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm, and prevent his lawful apprehension. The prisoner was seen leaving the premises of Mr. John Holder, a farmer, and the prosecutor, who is a constable, had his suspicions aroused from hearing a noise in the fowl-house and the fluttering of wings, and also from seeing the prisoner coming from that direction. He followed him and felt in his pocket, in which he felt a fowl. He told Tuberfield he had been robbing his brother's fowl-house, and must go with him ; on which a struggle took place, and the pri soner cut Holder severely about the right hand, di viding the tendons, and according to the judgment of Mr. Gregory, a surgeon, depriving him of their use for the remainder of his life. After the commission of the offence the prisoner absented himself from the neighbourhood, and was not heard anything of for eight or nine weeks. He was found Guilty, and sentenced to be trans ported for ten years. Frederick Dodge, 22, was brought up by writ of habeas corpus from Bristol gaol, on an ir.dictment charging him with cutting and wounding Sarah Turner, with intent to kill and murder her. Mr. Skinner prosecuted the prisoner, who had no counsel in this case, the facts of which are as follow : On Sunday evening, the 13th of February, between six and seven o'clock, two men rang the bell at the house of the Rev. Mr. Strickland, in Great George street, Bristol, and the prosecutrix, one of his female servants, went to the door, at which she found two men Hho inquired if the Rev. Mr. ,Strickland was at home? She told t hem he was not, did they want to see him particularly. They said they did, and she then asked them to walk into the kitchen and wait, preceding them to that part of the house, but she had only gone a few steps when she re. ceived a violent blow on the back of the head. The poor girl screamed out, "Lord have mercy on me. Don't murder me," and looked up, when she saw one of the men (whom she believed to be the prisoner), with something in his hands, which were uplifted, and immediately she received a second blow which would, in all probability, have been increased by a third, had not Ellen Rice (a fellow servant) attracted by the noise and cries, then run down stairs, and called "Sarah, ahe what sh a ll I d o ?" Th e poor bleedingxclaimed, " C a ll out f or h e l p. " out creature ` Miss Rice ran into her own bed-room, threw up the window, and cried " Murder." One of the men then said, " Open the door quick," and both the men im mediately escaped into the street. They ran off, and were seen no more that night by Clark. William Boulton, a policeman, saw the prisoner and a man with him, in Great George-street, shortly before the commission of the outrage. On hearing the screams of the servants Mr. Lambert, who lived opposite, and Mr. Green, a medical man, went to the house, and dressed the wounds of the injured woman, the scalp from whose skull had been torn down by the violence of the blows infli c t e d on her, and the poor creature's life was for some time in immediate danger. On the landing of the stairs a large woodon m a ll e t was f o und, with which the blows had evidently been given, and the prosecutrix had observed it by the prisoner's side just after she had admitted him into the house. Her fellow-servant also noticed some knives in the hands of the prisoner's companion, whose personal identity was not proved, and who had not been apprehended. The prisoner Dodge was taken into custody on the Monday week afterwards, and then made an attempt to get away, by trying to jump into his father's cellar, calling out at the same time, " bring me a hatchet." Ile was, however, secured and prevented from offering any violence to his apprehenders. The prisoner, in his defence, declared that he was innocent, but too poor to call witnesses, as he could not pay their expenses. Thejury found him Guilty. The JU DGE t o ld h i m he had been convicted on the clearest evide nce o f a most cold-blooded attempt at murder, and he hoped he should not be violating Isis duty to the public, in r ecommending the Crown to spare his lif e . Hi s L or dship then directed sentence of death t o b e recor d e d against the prisoner, who exclaimed, "Th e Lor d will be with me wherever I go, for I am i nnocent, and it will be found out." POLICE INT ELLIGENCE. TVESTIVINSTER. Mrs. Maria Butcher, of 73, Ponsonby-placo, Vaux hall-bridge-road, appeared to a summons, charging her with assaultin g Elizabeth Rouse, a genteel look ing girl, ten years of age. The complainant who, in reply to the inquiries of the Magistrate, appeared perfectly to understand the obligation of an o a th s tated that she resided with her parents, who occup i e d apartments in defendant's house. On last Thursday week she was going down stairs, accompani e d by her cousin, a girl twelve or thirteen years of age when defendant met her, and, without any reason ' s truck her a blow on the chest, which hu r t her so Lich that for two or three minutes she could neither speak nor cry. The defendant ju s tified the assault by saying that she heard the mother of the complainant tell her to run up and down stairs and make a noise. Mr.. BURRE LL fi nd d e f en dant 20s. and costs, whi c h was immediately paid. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. til'i/ham Smith was charged with having attempted to commit a robbery in the house of Benjamin Caunt, landlord of the Coach and Horses public house, St. Martin's. lane Sarah Butler, servant to Mr. Caunt, said she was in bed ab out twelve o ' clock on Thursday night, when she h ear d some one str i k i ng a light with a i ucifer match in the room. She looked out, and saw a man whom she immediately recognized to be the prisoner. There was another bed in tae room, which the prisoner approached and looked into, hut seeing no one, and probably concluding the room to be empty, he proceeded to break open a cupboard in the room. Witness immediately called out, and he said he had made a mistake. The prisoner then ran out of the room, locking the door after him, so that she could not get out to give an alarm. Witness threw up the window and screamed for assistance, and in a short time her master came up, and she related to him what had occurred. Mr. Benjamin Caunt said he was in his parlour on Thursday night, when he was aroused by a violent screaming from some one up stairs. He proceeded up stairs, and he noticed that a man resembling the prisoner passed him in the passage. He opened the door of the servant's room, and having received a description of the thief, he went down into the par lour and told the company he thought the thief was then in the room. The prisoner was shuffling to wards the door, when he seised and taxed him with being the man. The servant came in and imme diately identified him. Witness knew the man to be a very bad character. He had frequently forbidden him his house, but not taking the hint he had been compelled to kick him out. The prisoner was taken to the station-house, and some lucifer matches and housebreaking implements were found on his person. The prisoner was remanded to give the police an opportunity of making further inquiry. Charles Parhinson, an elderly man, of very re spectable appearance, was charged with having ob- ' tained Bs. from IViliiam Windle, a private tutor, residing in Dean-street, by the following ingenious stratagem : The complainant said, he went to the Horse Guards on Wednesday last, and while waiting to see the Duke of Wellington come out, the prisoner accosted him, and entered into conversation about his Grace, representing himself as having just come to town, and of course very desirous of seeing everything worth seeing. The conversation then turned on French events. The prisoner had just come from France, he said, and had witnessed many strange scenes, which he gave a description of. He then mentioned that he was the captain of a vessel, but that he had the mis fortune, when coming out of Havre, of being cut down to the water's edge by a vessel that ran foul of him. The consul at Havre gave him 31., with which he had reached London. He had a wife and family in Liverpool, but was unable to join them, as he was ss. 7d. short of the fare by railway. 'Witness took compassion on the tar, and changing a 51. note, he gave him Bs. A few days afterwards, while strolling in the Regent's Park, he saw his unfortunate and nautical acquaintance sitting on one of the benches, looking at him through his fingers. He went up to him, and was immediately recognised by the prisoner, who kindly inquired if he had not received the Bs. which he had borrowed, and which he had sent beck in a pocket-book, mounted with silver. Witness could not swallow this, and he gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner pleaded great distress, but refused to give any account of himself. lie was ordered to be brought up again on Wed nesday next. MARYLEBONE. The public are already in possession of the facts which were elicited on Friday, in the course of an investigation before Mr. Long, of a charge against Lord Xing.don, for having assaulted a young man named George Cull. It will be remembered that the magistrate, after hearing the whole of the evidence adduced, came to the conclusion that it was his duty to send the case before a jury, and that if bail were given it must be to a very large amount, viz., the noble defendant in 5,0001., and two sureties in 2,5001. each, making in the whole 10,000/. ; the two sureties, owing to the short period which intervened be tween the termination of the inquiry and the closing of thecourt, were not forthcoming; and upon Philip Davis Cooke, Esq., a Yorkshire majstrate, becoming an swerable in 5,000/. for defendant's appearing on Saturday, he (Lord Kingston) was liberated from custody, and he then quitted the court, accompanied by numerous friends of an exalted station. At about one o'clock on Saturday, his Lordship arrived with several companions, amongst whom was his brother, the Hon. James King ; the party re mained for some time in a private room attached to the office, and at two o'clock, the time appointed for them to be present in order to hear the depcsitions read over by Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, they were in formed that their presence was required in the court. Upon this intimation, the whole of the gentlemen en tered the justice-room, and some of them (they were not more than four or five in number), took their seats near the bench. The titled defendant stood in front of the bar, which position he occupied on Fri day, when the evidence against him was being given, Mr. Long hereupon said, " If his Lordship likes to sit he can do so." Lord Kingston then took his seat by the side of his legal adviser, Mr. Justins. The rest of the depositions were read over, and the recognizances to the amount of 10,0001. were given, the bail, independently of his Lordship, being Wm. Holmes, Esq., 10, Grafton •street, Bond-street, and Philip Davis Cooke, Esq., Houston, Yorkshire. LAMBETH James ilf‘Coy,James Crawley, Richard Hennessey, and Timothy OPCarthy, were placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott for final examination, on the fol lowing charge : Police-constable Thomas Streams, 148 L, deposed that, on the night of the 18th March, at about half past eleven o'clock at night, while on duty in Broad street, Lambeth, he saw the prisoners, M'Coy and Ilennessey, come out of the Jolly Gardeners public house, in that street. M'Coy pulled open the door with his left hand, and struck the window in the door with his right, exclaiming, " Take that, you ." Ile then was starting off, but he (witness) ran and stopped him, when he had got about five or six yards from the door. Ile then asked him if he knew what he had been doing, when the prisoner repeatedly called on him to let him go, and ultimately struck him on the mouth, but he still kept hold of him. Hennessey then came up and called upon him to let M‘Coy go ; and on his saying he would not, he (Hennessey) also struck him on the mouth with his clenched fist. Mr. Butterfield, the landlord of the Jolly Gardeners, here came up and asked him why he did not spring his rattle, and his reply was that he could not do so, he was so much engaged with M'Coy and Ilennessey, who at the time were pulling him about and struggling to get away. The witness Fairbrother, however, took the rattle out of his pocket and sprung it ; but while doing so it was knocked out of his hand on to the ground. At this time the other two prisoners, with eight or ten more, came up, and Crawley struck him on the back of the head and knocked his hat off ' and M'Carthy kicked it away. Crawley struck him several times on the back part of his head with his fist, M'Carthy also struck him on the mouth. M'Coy got hold of him by the stock, and tried to strangle him, and he became so exhausted that he nearly dropped, but, fortunately, he got his hand away. M'Coy then caught him with his teeth, and gave him a severe bite on his shoulder. He also got one of his legs twisted round one of witness's, and tried to throw him. They both fell together, and he was kicked several times on the stomach and back part of his head, and he heard a voice call out, " Kick him, kill the -." He called out for help, when he was kicked on the bottom part of his belly. The witnesses Fairbrother, Leedham, and Bailey, then helped him up, and he thought, but for their assistance, and that of Stratton, another constable, he must have been killed. They managed to secure and the others were taken afterwards. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, th e witness said 11.1‘Coy struck him several times in the face and kicked him once on the left leg. Hennessey struck him twice in the face, Crawley knocked his hat off and struck him several times on the back part of his head, and M'Carthy struck him on the mouth. All these assaults he would distinctly swear to, and, besides these, he got kicked and knocked about dread fully by the prisoners and their eight or ten asso ciates. In his struggle his hat and rattle were lost, but the former was found two hours after, the latter not at all. The witness, who seemed exceedingly ill, said he was still suffering severely from the serious injuries he received, that he had not been able to do duty since, nor did he know when he should. James Fairbrother, a labourer, residing at No. 1, Salamanca-street, Lambeth, deposed that he was at the Jolly Gardeners public-house, in Broad-street, on the night in question when M'Coy and five or six others came there. It was about half-past eleven o'clock when they came in, and as soon as M'Coy pushed the door open he commenced using the most foul and abusive language. lie asked Mr. Butterfield, the landlord, for a pot of beer, but Mr. Butterfield refused to serve him, APCoy then put himself into a fighting attitude before the bar, and struck at Mr. Butterfield. He then rushed towards the door and broke a large square of glass in it, and was going away when witness saw Streams take hold of him. Ile had scarcely laid hok' of him when the constable was surrounded by several others of the party, and he distinctly saw M'Coy and Hennessey ill-use him. The witness corroborated the greater part of the tes timony of Streams, the constable, and described the conduct of all the prisoners to have been the most brutal and savage he hail ever witnessed. John Leedham, a greengrocer, residing at 190, Lambeth-walk, said that on the night in question he was standing at his own door, which is about thirty yards from the Jolly Gardeners, when he heard a rattle sound, an d on go i ng t o th e place he saw the constable Streams lying on the ground and the pri soner M'Coy holding him by the stock. At this time a man named Donahoo came up, and witness, thinking he was about to strike Streams, pulled him back. The prisoner Crawley at this time struck him a violent blow on the face, and followed him to his own door and struck him four or five other blows about the head and face. Two constables then came up and secured Crawley, and on their way to the station-house he saw several stones picked up. Crawley told him, witness, at the station-house, that he deserved to have his head knocked off. Mr. John Butterfield said I am landlord of the Jolly Gardeners, in Broad•street, Lambeth. On Saturday night, the 18th of March, as stated by the witness Fairbrother, M'Coy and the others came into my house, at about half-past eleven o'clock—the whole of the four prisoners, and I think there was another. M'Coy pushed open the door, and pushed against some women, and made use of the most offensive and disgusting language. I told him that I could not allow such conduct, upon which he pro ceeded to the use of more disgusting language. I refused to serve him, upon which he squared at me— asked me why I refused to serve him, and threatened to ill-use me. I repeated that I would not serve him, upon which he went to the door, opened it with one hand, and with the other broke a square of glass in the door. This he did wilfully. Ile went out then, and I followed, and saw Streams, and I endeavoured to assist him, and managed to get the rattle, and spring it. I saw M'Coy with his hand in Streams's stock, when that constable way lying on the ground. Alexander Bird, barman to Mr. Butterfield, cor roborated the whole of his master's evidence, and added, that while he was springing Streams's rattle, it was taken out of his hand, and he received a severe blow on the mouth. On his way to the station-house he was struck by some mud by the mob, which was very great. William Bailey, a labourer, said he was going into the Jolly Gardeners, when the prisoner (M'Coy) was coming out, and he was very nearly knocked down by him. He saw M'Coy deliberately break the square of glass, and the constable (Streams) lay hold of him. The prisoner then came up, and struck Streams on the back part of the head with his fist, and also gave him a second blow on the face. The prisoner (Hen nessey) also struck Streams a violent blow en the head, and knocked his hat off. The blow was meant for the constable's face, but happening to turn round just at the moment, it fell on the back part of his head. M'Carthy then kicked Streams's hat away, and also kicked Streams on the stomach. This kick he (witness) was sure the prisoner meant for another and more delicate part, but his foot reached a little higher. He saw M'Coy bite Streams on the arm, and saw him also hold him by the stock, and pretty nearly strangle him. There were several others besides the prisoners ill-using Streams by kicking and beating him ' • and he heard one of them, but he did Lot know which, call out to his companions to kick the constable in a certain place. When the prisoners were being taken to the station-house, the constables were pelted with mud and stones by the mob. George Stratton, 118 L, deposed that he had been severely struck, kicked, and " butted" with his head in the stomach by the prisoner M'Coy. Until assisted, which was full five minutes, M'Coy was knocking him about and struggling with him ; and so violent was he, that it required five men to take him to the station-house. Witness was so much injured with M'Coy's kicks and blows, that he had not been able to resume his duties. Police-constable William Weston, 65 L, said that, while following M'Coy and Crawley to the station house, Hennessey and M`Carthy were pointed out to him as persons who had previously taken an active part in the outrage. He perceived that M'Carthy had a large stone in his hand, and was in the act of drawing his arm back, and to strike Mr. Leedham, who had pointed him out, when he secured him. He also saw Hennessey throw a stone, or something else, towards the constables who were taking M'Coy and Crawley, and then run down Goulding's-place, Kennington-lane. Witness procured assistance and secured him. . . Mr. Wagstaff, the divisional surgeon of the L divi sion of police, said he was called in to examine the constables Streams and Stratton on the night in question, and found the former in a state of great ex haustion. He appeared to have a great difficulty of breathing, and was very much bruised about the head and body, and appeared to be seriously injured inter nally. He was so much strained and ill•used that he was obliged to keep his bed for a week, and was still very weak and unfit for duty, and would be for some time to come. Stratton was not so much injured, but he complained of pains in his side, and about his head. He, too, was still under his treatment, and was at present unfit for duty. In reply to the charge, M'Coy said he did not re collect striking the policeman. He had never been in custody before, he said, and had received a blow from a policeman's truncheon on the forehead. Ile also, he said, received a kick from one of the police men, a little above the left ankle, and had not since been able to use his leg properly, and was pulled about like a dog in going to the station-house. The prisoner Crawley said he had not said a word to any person when he was struck, and turning round and believing it was Mr. Leedharn who struck him, he returned the blow. He only struck that blow and , went quietly to the station-hou,e, where he had never been before, nor had he ever been before a magistrate till the present time. Hennessey said he was quite innocent of the charge, and was walking with the mob to the station-house when he was taken into custody. M'Carthy said he was just coming by the Jo►ly Gardeners when he heard the row, and saw M'Coy and Crawley taken to the station-house. He was told that M'Coy, who WRS a fellow-lodger of his, was one of those taken, and he followed to see what would come of it, and he was taken by the police. He denied having a stone in his hand, or throwing anything at the police. The prisoners were fully committed to take their trial for the outrages at the next Newington sessions, and the different witnesses were bound over to appear to prosecute. SOUTHWARK. Elizabeth Horton was brought up charged with stealing a sovereign, the property of John Webb, the keeper of a coffee shop in Tooley-street, Southwark. The prosecutor said that on the previous night the captain of a vessel was sitting in the coffee-room and partook of refreshments to the amount of three shillings. While he was there the prisoner came in and sat on the opposite bench. When the captain went away he threw down a sovereign, and witness handed him the change, which h e put in his pocket and left the house; but before witness could take up the sovereign, the prisoner snatched it up, and ran out of the house. lie pursued her into the borough, where he came up to her and gave her into custody. On being searched at the station-house, a sovereign and two shillings were found in her glove. The two shillings was change he previously gave her out of half- a-crown. In answer to the charge, the prisoner denied snatch ing up the sovereign. The one she had in her pos sesion belonged to her, which she could prove. On the same evening at an early hour she met a gentle man who knew her, and he gave her the sovereign, and ten shillings to send to her child, which was then at nurse. Mr. SECIER asked if that party was in attendance to support her statement. Prisoner replied in the negative. Ile would not like to come forward upon any account. A female servant in the complainant's employ, said she saw the captain throw down the sovereign on the table, and while her master's back was turned, the prisoner ran out, and the sovereign was gone. Her master, she was certain, did not take it up. Prisoner—l can assure you that it is my sovereign, and that the coffeehouse-keeper put the captain's sovereign in his pocket. _ _ Mr. SEC ER said that he must believe the state ment of the witnesses, and, under all the circum stances, he should, fine her 6s. for the unlawful pos session of the sovereign. Upwards of a hundred tradesmen attended before the Magistrate, and were sworn in as special con stables. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. 'HYMEN DS. At the Court, Basinghall-street. J.
