The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d And 4th victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the Inge nious and effective Bamoneur machine has been invented. This invention oonsists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby treating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a doable revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities •f this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that It is exclusively used In the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry In eontinuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be •btained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, James's ; at Messrs.

AT SEA JOHN TATES, Sec, DR. II A M P D E N. A FEW THOUGHTS AT WESTMINSTER-HALL. The Judges itssetnbled at Westminster-hail, On a matter important to great and to small; The scene was exciting, the Court was a cramm'd 'nn, And all seemed absorbed in the subject of Hampden. Each opened his cars, while he opened his vision, All anxious to come at the Judges' decision. 'Twas pleasing to see, In a place so Immense, The " gents of the long robe" with interest intense ; While the Judges appeared iii their w gi and their ermine, The Bishop of Hereford's case to determine. My opinion concerning this matter—but st P; 'Tie a party affair, and the subject must drop. Tor a topic like this—A political one Is kept in the back-ground by MOSES and SON. 1.. " ROSE and SON your attention would call To a few settttoeil musings in Westminster-hall. - 1 here were certainly many things there to admi e, While thousands assembled e itit faaltiess attic I could trace, while I stood in the old justice-room, The presence o r MOSES (at least in costume) ; Each of which (though I wouldn't run anything down), In beauty could vie with the low; legal gown. While I gazed on the ermine the Judges ha 1 on, I thought of the Furs of E. MOSES and SON. The Boots and the Shoes, and the Prime Paris Hats, The Gloves and the Kerchiefs, t e Stocks and Cravats, Plainly proved that the concourse in Westminster-hal , , Had given another great building a call. May they do so again —may the Mart be a " crammed 'un," And thas coneludea MOSES, with I cnn Dickson tiampden. LIST OF PRICEn. MDT AD E.

Two testimonial extracts shall snake : •' Captain Grelg, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted in the Caroline, Its great power was the means at saving the ship and 230 souls on hoard, two SCAMS in the bottom being partly lett withlut calking." " The Argus brig, f.-om Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days oat at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then dependent upon her Foun tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteco nights was In ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London, with a thank God for the Fountain Pump." ON LANE the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire. " We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail. The Now Portab'e Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on fire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including iu the seven the Qacen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyery, and 12,000/. worth of consigned pro perty ; Steke mustard, starch, a•sd flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just In time to prevent a largo quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which mast have spread around de struction and death. '• North Walsham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of groat service, and by having one of them ready, there to no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been savod."—Norfolk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the pnblic. The cry was, food the little engines and they will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-hollers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fwet is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage. which Drs. Toung and Ilotton. with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceejs half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in TAill for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to twenty (or abont seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tio■ ramp an act ive sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 8,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extra.rdinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esi., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mullett, Duidin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. Itaddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy In No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's remarks aro preposterous. However, on the oilier hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aherdour, Hay, Parklngton, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beastiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain able chavacter:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement I. the useful arts In modern times. The Consummation Fountain Pumps are suceessflilly carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 !tot altitude, for Irian, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 100 barrels •f water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than oommon pumps. :• LA'aIERT OX THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH 4-X-1) MATURITY. —WITH 40 COLOURED ILNGRAVINGS ON RTERLaLt .

I_3ItITISII COLLEGE OF lIEALTII, NEW-ROAD, LONDON. Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter, M.R.C.S.L., for 184. " I have new for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Ilygelan Dis pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine of the British College of Health, and I am still more confirmed in my opinion (from practical experience, not In one sr two cues, but in hundreds), that the Ilygeian system is founded in truth. The cases which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment that patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Ilygeian medicines. The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my book for the inspection of the public. I have treated upwards of 300 poor patients during the past year, and have now about 150 on the Dispensary books. In conclusion, I beg to return my suicers thanks to the subscribers to the Dispensary. (Signed) " RICIIARD TOTIIILL, Surgeon, kc. " Heavitree, near Exeter, Jan. 1, 1848." N.B.

Attendance daily at 19, lier ners•etroet. from Moen UZI Two, and /Ica to Eight.: on Suadais cola LUAU to goat ELOPEMENT.—An affair of this kind has taken ' place et Penzance, and has enlivened the dulness of per sons young and old at this gloomy season, by giving birth to a little gossip. The runaway parties in the pre sent case were not a loving young lady and an amorous swain, but more unhappy, a married woman and a widower. The husband discovered on Sunday last that the fickle spouse had deserted her hone, with all its enjoyments, and had run truant with another gentleman, whose attractions must have been (in the lady's eyes) of a superior order to his own. But, not liking to be tricked in this or any other way, he darted off in pursuit, with much sagacity, struck on the right scent, heard of the fugitives at Redruth, accelerated his speed, and at Truro overtook the object of his pursuit comfortably riding in a carriage and pair. What passed between the injured and indignant husband and the guilty paramour has not been revealed, and therefore cannot be told, but the indiscreet lady was thenceforth brought back to the home of her rightful lord and master, who has engaged to keep her, " for better, for worse," all the days of her life. This, however, appears to be a difficult matter, for it is said that she has since escaped a second time, and embarked on board the steamer for Bristol.—Corn wall Paper. . THE NORTH - ESL FISHING.—The season for sal mon has opened rathei unfavourably this year. Mr. Straton's first night's fishing only numbered same half a•dozen.

TRADING IN SIDUCTION.— A deputation from the Committee of the Associate .

She saw him ion the Saturday before his death, and he seemed _quite imbecile, certainly not fit to make a will. )The CORONER here inquired of Mr. Superintendent 1 i3ilson if the police had learnt anything more about the matter ? Mr. Bilson said he had caused inquiries to be made respecting the statement which had been given before the jury at the previous sitting, in reference to poison being allowed to be boiled at the barber's shop, and he found it to have been reported promiscuously in the streets. Mr. William Witham, a brother of the deceased, was sworn—lie first saw the deceased on Saturday night, and then his brother did not appear likely to die. his wife expired on Sunday, and on .Monday he noticed his relative to be retching. lie had occa :sion to go out about seven o'clock, and on returning, at nine, he perceived that a remarkable change had taken place in his state. CORONER-Why didn't you call in a medical man? Witness—They said he would soon be better—that he was only in a fit, and that he would get over it. I said, if it was a fit, I thought he would not get over it. No other witnesses appearing to be examined, The CORONER proceeded to sum up, and, after going through the whole facts, recommended such a verdict to be returned as would enable the police to re-open the case, should more conclusive evidence be brought to light. The jury retired for half an hour, and then found, "That the deceased persons died on the days men tioned in evidence, but that the precise cause of death did not appear—that a brownish green matter was found in their stomachs, impregnated with a certain narcotic animal poison called hemlock ; but how the material impregnated with such said smell was taken did not appear." ELECTION COMMITTEES. GREAT YARMOUTH. The general Committee of eontroyerted elections assembled on Monday, at two o'clock, in one of the Committee rooms in the lobby of the House of Com mons, to appoint the Members who are to serve on the Select Committee to try the matter of the petition complaining of an undue election and return for the borough of Great Yarmouth. The Members present were—The Right Hon. Mr. Fox Maule (in the chair), the Right Hon. Sir George Clerk, Sir William Heathcote, Sir Robert Alex ander Ferguson, Sir John Yarde Buller, and Mr. Thornely. The Committee were engaged in deliberation, with closed doors, from two till half-past three o'clock, during which time the several parties interested, and their counsel, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, Mr. Ser geant Kinglake, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Calvert, and Mr. O'Malley, were in attendance in the lobby. At half-past three the parties in attendance were summoned to appear before the Committee, and the counsel and agents having taken their seats The Cluicsiew said, he had to acquaint them that the general Committee of Elections had appointed the following members of the House to be the Select Committee on the election for the borough of Great Yarmouth :—Mr Edward Ellice, Mr. Charles Lush , ington, Mr. W. H. C. Plowden, and Mr. Henry Stuart; and that they had chosen Mr. Henry Ker Seymer to preside as chairman of the Committee. Mr. Ross, the Committee clerk, then requested the several parties in attendance to state for whom they respectively appeared. Mr. Sergeant WasNe , ussf said, he, along with his friend, Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, appeared as counsel to support the petition against the sitting Member by Mr. Francis Henry Goldsmid ; and Mr. Stephens the solicitor of Bedford-row, as the agent of the peti tioner. Mr. ANDREIWE said, he, together with Mr. O'Mal ley, was counsel on behalf of the sitting Member, and that Mr. Harvey, solicitor, Fenchurch-buildings, appeared as agent for the Member. Mr. Serjeant WICANGHAM asked the Committee, whether the Mr. Edward Ellice appointed by them to serve on the Great Yarmouth Committee was the Member for Coventry, or his son, the Member for the district of St. Andrews ? The CHAIRMAN replied, that it was Mr. Edward Ellice, the Member for St. Andrews district (as we understood). After a short pause, Mr. Serjeant WRANGIIAM said the counsel in the case would not detain the Committee longer at present ; and he did not anticipate that there would be any objection, from either side, to any of the Mem bers appointed to serve on the Committee. Sir G. CLERK stated, that the Committee would meet to-morrow (this day) to hear any objections that might be made to the Members constituting the Committee. The Committee then adjourned.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr. Justice ERLE, and Common Juries.) 3IINISTER v. CHAPPELL. This was an action brought to recover compensa tion in damages for a libel published by the de fendant, of, and concerning the plaintiff, under rather peculiar circumstances, connected with the novel combination of tailorin g and authorship. Mr. liumfrey, Q.c., appeared for the plaintiff; the defendant's case was conducted by Mr. Sergeant Shee. Plaintiff and defendant have achieved a reputation for themselves as " fashionable tailors," and carry on their business at that fashionable emporium of Lon don, known as the West end. The old adage, "Two of a trade can never agree," was verified in the pro• ceedings ; the plaintiff and defendant became rivals, not, perhaps, so much in their own peculiar business, as in the more ambitious calling of editors of rival publications, which they started for the pur pose of giving more eclat to their respective houses. This was carrying on tailoring on classic ground—an elevated principle, but was an excellent idea, and original. Defendant was the first to place his name on the literary rota, and gave to his publication the title of the Lion; and from lii4s, when he started it, down to 1846, when the plaintiff entered the lists, he revelled in his work undisturbed, and wrote up his business in its various branches, cut and workmanship. In July, 1846, the plaintiff, who ambitioned to be a tailor-author, gave to his publication the high sound ing and somewhat well-fitted title of the Gazette of Fashion. The defendant, who certainly deserves the credit of being the originator of this - mode of assisting to push business, and of giving the public a better idea of its principles, in order to make his work more at tractive, entered into an arrangement with M. Lefuette, for continuous supplies of illustrative plates, and de fendant, when he brought out his work, borrowing the hint, also gave an order to M. Lefuette to execute for him a series of Parisian designs. This gave to his publication a similarity to the plaintiff's, and was considered, by the latter, to deteriorate the value of the original Liox,. Defendant, however, went farther, and as if not satisfied with the title first given by him to his work, of the Gazette of Fashion, added to it, the words et Le Lion, a clear infringement of title, which the plaintiff considered himself called upon to resist. Among other characters in which the plaintiff held himself out to the world, was that of " habit-maker to the Queen;" and the defendant considering this an assumption, cast discredit upon it in one of the numbers of his Gazette of Fashion et Le Lion, and described the plaintiff as guilty of a liberty in stating and describing himself as habit maker to his (the defendant's) Sovereign. This insinuation was contained in a letter purporting to be from a "Correspondent." and was followed by a series of publications, in which there were many smart things said and written, and which finally resulted in the present action. The jury considered that the plaintiff WAS justified in his proceeding, and gave a verdict in his favour — Damages, 40s. ISERKS. Capital FREEHOLD MANSION, aid compact beautiful DOMAIN, in a tine elevated part of Windsor I'ark, within a short drive of the town, Ascot, and Maidenhead ; close to hounds, full of game, and richly wooded, in the midst of some of the most beaatifal scenery and drives in the kingdom, and a fashionable neighbour- hood.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re cover compensation in damages for the loss of the ser vices of his daughter•in-law, Caroline Floyd, occa sioned by the seduction of the defendant. ➢ir. Crowder, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Atherton), appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Humfrey, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Lush), conducted the case for the defendant. Mr. CROWDER stated the case, from which it ap peared that the defendant, who holds a situation in the Treasury-office of the Temple, formed an inti macy with the young woman, Caroline Floyd, which resulted in her giving birth to a child. It would be insinuated (the Learned Gentleman said) that the defendant was not the father of the child ; but he would satisfy the Court and the jury that the defence could not be supported. The Learned Gentleman then called Caroline Floyd, who deposed that she was the daughter of the plaintiff's wife by a former husband, and that she is now 22 years of age, and ever since the. plaintiff's marriage with her mother-in-law, 19 years ago, she lived with them. Plaintiff was for merly a horsekeeper at the George Inn, Fulham, but lives at present near Parson's-green. Witness's mother is a laundress, and she (witness) attended to the house for her. The defendant is a clerk in the Treasury of the Temple, and first became known to witness in February, 1846. She since kept up an acquaintance with him, and was employed by him in March of that year, to make him a set of shirts. She made the shirts at home, Bryant came to see her nearly every night during the time she was making them. Her mother was sometimes at home on the occasions of his visits. Witness became intimate with him, and in November of the same year discovered she was in the family way, and in D ecem b er s h e communi ' cated heritnpressions to him. He asked her if she knew a Mr. Howard and a Mr. Ford. She answered, she iciiew the former, but not the latter, but had not known Mr. Howard since she knew him (the de fendant). Witness went t o d e f en d an t on m a n y occasions after this, until the month of March last. He said, in December, he would allow her half a crown a week when the child was born, but she said t e t she would not take it unless he would give it to her from the time she was in the family way. His an swer was, that he would allow her as much as the parish would, and that she might have it weekly, mon thly, or quarterly. He further said that he could give wou ld cost him three guineas ; and that after her confinement out to service, and put the child defendant told her in the month of December that " she had better give the little devil prussic acid."

Defendant, in presence of witness's mother, said he could not afford to keep her, but that he would do whatever the law "'lowed. Witness, in April of the last year, was delivered of a male child, of which the defendant was the father. She had been unable to do any work . since the S e pt em b er prev i ous t o th e birth of the child, being too ill in consequence of her pregnancy. The baby-linen was bought for her by her father and mother. Sh e h a d med i ca l atten d ance for some time prior to her confinement; and her mother, in consequence of h er (witness ' s)) state, was obliged to obtain and pay for assistance in her place for five weeks, at the rate of 7s. Gd. a week ; and to another young woman she was obliged to pay as. per week, for twelve weeks, to assist her. Her father paid the expenses of her confinement. Cross-examined —She -as neither brother nor sister. The defendant was n o t t h e fi rst man w h o h a d illicit intercourse with her. Mr. Howard, as sistant to Mr. Rouse, the surgeon, by whom she was attended, was for three year s i n h abits of improper i n tercourse with her in that way ; but their intimacy , had ceased for six months before she became ac quainted with the defendant. She went before a magistrate in June , last to swear the child against the defendant. Die magistrate heard all the de fendant's counsel and attorney chose to advance against her, but not the whole of what she had to state. When she was before the magistrate she said she had not known Mr. Howard since she had been acquainted with the defendant ; but s h e did not say that she never had illicit intercourse with him. She did not see Mr. Howard to-day i n the court, but met him at H am mersmith, when on her way to court. Her mother did not kn ow t h at s h e was improperly intimate with Mr. Howard until now. Her application at the blammerstnith Police court was dismissed. What she had said at that court was, that she had not had any illicit intercourse with Mr. 'Toward since she knew the defendant. The attorney whom her father employed to conduct her case, asked her if she had d any familiar intercourse with Mr. Howard, and she informed him she had not. She had seen that gentleman about the c our t thi s morning, but had not seen him since he l e ft M r . Rouse's until the present occasion. He attended her baby when he was ill, as the assistant of M r . R ouse. The latter gentleman attend ed her in her confinement, and when she was laid up Mr. Howard attended her when Mr. Rouse could not come. She had been told Mr. Howard was brought to the court by the defendant as a witness against her. She had seen Mr. Howard from time to time, for two months, after her confinement, but he had not been to see her since his professional attendance ceased. Mr. Howard was her "first love." She had no t y made en__ inquiries as to where he had gon e to live, notwithstanding he was her " first love." They did not quarrel when they parted. Re-examined--Mr. lloward did not come there to be a witness in her behalf. She had never told any one that she had had improper intimacy with him until now, when the statement was for the first time publicly elicited from her. Defendant had counsel and attorney at the police court, at Hammersmith ; but witness had neither, and her case was dismissed. She swore that she had not had an y improper inter .ourse with'Ho ward for six months preceding her intimacy with the defendant, nor with any other man. Some weeks before he r child was born, Mr. Rouse had said that he woulc not attend her i n h er confinement unless some other professional man was with him at the time, because it had been rumoure d that the child had been poisone d while she was bear ing it, and when the confinement took place, Mr. Howard was (*Hod is. S N 7 FEBRUARY 9, 1848. Aisne Cook, - examined b z Mr. CROWDER—IS an acquaintance of Mr. Tidbury and his wife, and knows Caroline Floyd, the plaintiff. Knows George Bryant, the defendant, and recollected his having called about March, and given Caroline an order to make some shirts, which witness assisted to make. Saw him afterwards call, and walk out with Caroline, but never heard any conversation between them. Was not aware of any impropriety existing between them. Recollected Caroline was ill for a long time with a bad leg, and that she was attended by Mr. Howard and M. Rouse for it. Cross-examined by Mr. HumFaEr. —Mr. Howard was assistant to Mr. Rouse, but witness had no recol. lection that she was asked any question about him at the police-office; indeed she was not, she might say, examined there at all. Re-examined by Mr. CROWDER-Mr. Howard at tended in witness's own family when her children were vaccinated. She had seen him visit at the Floyds sometime before Bryant visited there ; but did not see him after Bryant came there. Mr. Rouse, examined by Mr. ATRERTON.-De posed that he is a surgeon, .and knows the plaintiff, Mr. Tidbury, whose family he attended for many years. Knows the plaintiff's daughter-in-law, Caroline Floyd. Did not, when first called in to see her, discover that she was with child. Discovered that subsequently, and delivered her himself- 7 a rather unusual thing with him, as he does not attend to that class of cases, but did so in this case, owing to very unpleasant rumours that were about, as to means having been employed to murder the child prior to birth ; he, therefore, took that responsibility upon himself of delivering her. His bill might be from 7L to 8/. Mr. Howard was an assistant in his service at the time, but he is not now. He is somewhere in the neighbourhood of Camden-town. Witness's business is large, and he is:obliged to keep two assistants. Cross-examined by Mr. HusintEr —Heard some rumours in the village that there was some dispute about the paternity of the child. Heard that Howard was intimate with Caroline Floyd, that he had de livered her, and that the child was made away with ; but the latter was not the case. Re-examined by Mr. CROWDER—Howard was present with witness at the confinement, a certain message came, Mr. Howard went off, and witness hastened after him. Mr. Howard was now in Court. His salary in witness's service was fifty guineas year, and board and lodging. This closed the plaintiff's case. Mr. HumrrutEr addressed the jury for the defence. Ho was sensible that a jury in a case of this kind, ought always to take care that a female was properly protected at their hands, and that the feelings of parents should also be duly estimated by them ; but they should at the same time, in his opinion, hare corroborative evidence to bring the matter home to the defendant. The Learned Gentleman then pro ceeded to comment upon the case, which he submitted was not made out. Mr. Justice EaLH summed up, and The jury, after some deliberation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages-151. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. ElizabethCousins,a middle- agedwoman, was charged with intermarrying with James Cousins, her former husband, Henry Vickery, being still alive. The prisoner was married to Cousins at the parish church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Before the ce remony she told him that she was a widow, but soon afterwards he ascertained from her sister that the prisoner's first husband was still living. He also stated that her conduct had led to much unhappiness between them, and on one or two occasions she had robbed him to a considerable extent. The certificate of the first marriage with Henry Vickery, at Shoreditch, in November, 1834, as well as the fact that Vickery was now alive, having been proved. The prisoner, who evinced much levity at the bar, was remanded for further examination. Thomas Eagle, the Post-office clerk, was again brought up, on the charge of stealing two letters, and fully committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. 77wmas Ingram, of 6, White Lion-street, Chelsea, described as a shoemaker, was charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding Elizabeth H trris, of 2, Union-street, Chelsea, by repeatedly striking her on the head and body with a very heavy kitchen poker. Charlotte Smith, a respectable looking woman, stated that the injured woman and the prisoner were in company with two or three friends at the Cheshire Cheese, Grosvenor-row, Punlico, on Monday even ing. At about ten at night something was sail by the prisoner about seeing Elizabeth Harris home, which she did not approve of, when he suddenly seized the poker, which was in the fire-place, and struck her several blows, two of which were on the head. Thomas Bentley, ns B, said that when he was called to the house he found the injured woman sitting in a chair, and a doctor dressing her wounds. She was subsequently conveyed to the hospital. The constable produced a very heavy kitchen poker, with sharp square edges, with which the blows had been inflicted, and also the bonnet which the poor woman wore at the time, which was literally satu rated with blood. A certificate was handed to the magistrate, from St. George's Hospital, stating that the woman was suffering from two severe wounds in the head, and other injuries, which would disable her for some days, and prevent her leaving the institution. Mr. BRODERIP asked the prisoner what he had to say. The accused very coolly replied, " Nothing parti cular. It was all done in a moment, in the heat of passion." Mr. BRODERIP observed that the poker produced was a most formidable weapon, and he should remand the prisoner for a week, without taking any bail for his appearance, unless, in the course of the afternoon, it was satisfactorily shown to him by another certifi cate from the hospital, that the injured woman was clearly out of danger. In the course of the afternoon the following was handed to the magistrate : " This is to certify that Elizabeth Harris is an in patient, and is at this time afflicted with injuries of the head, from which no immediate danger is ex pected ; but at this early period it is impossible to say what turn the case may take. " C. ,W. PEYTON, " House Surgeon, St. George's Hospital." On the production of this certificate, Mr. BROD/IRIP said he should certainly not take bail, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded. William Murdon, a man well known to the police, was charged with uttering spurious half-sovereigns. There were two cases distinctly proved against the accused. He went into Mr. Osmand's, Marsham street, Westminster, on Monday week, and asked for half an ounce of tobacco, in payment for as hick he put down half a sovereign, which was examined and found to be genuine. He than said he thought he had halfpence enough, when the mistress of the shop put down the half-sovereign upon the counter, but after fumbling about his pockets for some time, he informed her that he had not enough coppers, and he must trouble her for change, which she gave him, but immediately after his departure found he had substi tuted a spurious half-sovereign for the genuine one. lie escaped detection on that occasion, and on Mon dry last uttered another spurious half-sovereign at a Mrs. Holditch's, but was immediately afterwards ap prehended, from the description given of him, by a very active constable of the B division, named Mille man, who prevented his swallowing or throwing away two other counterfeit half-sovereigns. The prisoner, who made no defence, was remanded till Monday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Burke was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having just been detected in picking the pocket of Sarah Kempshall of her purse. The prosecutrix was standing before a print-shop in St. Martin's-lane, when the prisoner went up to her, and adroitly eased her of her purse. The pri soner ran off, but his proceedings having attracted the suspicion of a person named John Harnett, an inquiry was made of the prosecutrix if she had lost anything, and on being informed that she had lost her purse, he instantly set off in pursuit of the prisoner, and overtook him near Aldridge's Repository He had no sooner stopped the prisoner than he was surrounded by half a dozen thieve? , who attacked him and bit his hands severely, in order to induce him to release the prisoner. Harn ett, however, ke p t his hold, and took the prisoner t owards Bow-street Police-court. On the way the p risoner offered to pledge his coat and return the lad y the money, if he was released. The h case re. being While the parties distric were on t o f this court, it was sent ' the road, a gang of the prisoners companions sur erhile in sur rounded the prosecutrix and attempted to intimidate her from appearing against the prisoner. The parties were followed through the Seven Dials by hundreds of bad characters, to whom the prisoner appeared to be familiarly known. The prosecutrix proved the loss of her purse, which, however, contained only a few shillings. The purse had not been found. The witness Harnett said he saw the prisoner give the purse to one of his companions, who made his I ware with the booty. The prisoner was fully committed. BENEVOLENCIL—Miss Fritheringham sent 11. l7s. 6d. through Messrs. Herries and Co., for the poor box ; C. S. M. F. has sent the remaining half of a 51. note, 59,137, for the poor-box. MARYLEBO,NE. John 0' Connell and John Marlin were charged with having entered the house of Mr. James Payne, High street, adjacent to this court, and stealing property to a considerable amount. The court was much crowded, in consequence of the daring character of the robbery, and the excite ment which was caused in the immediate neighbour hood at the period of the discovery of the affair being made. The prisoner O'Connell, who had escaped from the house by jumping from a first-fioor window, and who had thereby been severely cut upon the head, and was exceedingly faint and weak from loss of blood, was allowed a seat while the investigation was going on. Miss Caroline Payne, daughter of Mr. James Payne, deposed that on the previous evening, at a quarter ' past seven o'clock, she went up stairs to her bedroom, on the third flour, and close to the door she saw O'Connell with a large bundle close to him. She asked him what business he had there, when, without making any answer, he knocked the candlestick, con taining a lighted candle, out of her hand, and pushed her violently into an adjoining room. The force used towards her caused her to fall down, and he (O'Con nell) fell over her. She jumped up and screamed, and rushed down stairs, followed by a man, whom she saw make his egress by the private door. Mr. Payne, jun., brother of the first witness, stated that being alarmed by the screams of his sister, and hearing the banging of the private door, he went out, and saw the prisoner Martin running at full speed. , Witness followed, crying " Stop thief ! ' and he (Martin) was shortly afterwards captured. Many other witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that O'Connell had, upon the alarm being given by Miss Payne, jumped from the upper part of a shop front, two doors from Mr. Payne's, and that in falling upon the pavement he had received a severe wound upon the head. He got up, bleeding profusely, and through the instrumentality of Mr. Sergeant, a pork-butcher, in High-street, he was arrested, and given up to the police, while at tempting to effect his escape. The prisoner had ran sacked the drawers, &c., in Miss Payne's and her brother's bedrooms, and two large bundles, ready to carry off bad been packed up ; they contained property of different descriptions, to the amount of from 40/. to 501. Oa the corner of Miss Payne's dressing-table were some marks of green wax, and upon one of the bundles being examined, a green wax taper was found. It was also proved in evidence, that Martin, on finding that he was hotly pursued, threw away a box of lucifer matches. West, an officer of the F division, No. 106, deposed that Martin, who was better known to the police by the name of John Smith, had suffered transportation for burglary, and had also been summarily convicted at Bow-street and Marlborough-street Police-courts. O'Connell had nothing to say, and Martin denied all knowledge of the robbery. They stand committed for trial, but will be brought up again next Tuesday, further inquiry being deemed necessary. EARLY-CLOSING ASSOCIATION. An aggregate meeting of assistants of all trades was held at the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton buildit gs, Holborn, on Monday evening, to consider the propriety of adopting a new scheme of achieving the task so nobly set itself by this association about five years ago—i. e., to secure to the assistants of drapers, as well as of all other tradesmen, leisure for the acquisition of knowledge and the enjoyment of those healthful recreations, without which neither a sound mind nor a sound body can be possessed. 1). W. Wire, Esq., presided, supported by J. Lilwall, Esq., the secretary of the association, Dr. Pettigrew, and other gentlemen. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the business of the evening, demonstrated the beneficial results to both employers and employed accruing from the already but partially adopted short-hour system, and the utter groundlessness of the apprehensions of aggravated vice and immorality which corny good people enter tained as likely to ensue from affording the young men employed in shops an exten.,ion of their hours of rest from lab,ur. After impressing upon his hearers the paramount claims of the mental, moral, and spit itual natures of the rising generation upon public attention, and commenting powerfully upon the wide-spread neglect of these their highest inte rests, arising from the monster evil against which the association was arrayed, he called upon Mr. J. .1,11.wAt.r., the secretary, to expound the new scheme above referred to. The secretary then proceeded to state its leading features were, the universal dissemination of the association's publica tions throughout the metropolis ; next, the energetic adoption of a system of pledges among purchasers against late-hour trading; a vigorous lecturing cam paign ; and the raising of a fund (1,0001. was esti mated to suffice) for supplying the sinews of the society's warfare against " white slavery," by means of 6d. subscriptions among the minimum number of 40,000 assistants employed in London ; with the auxiliary of general collections at the places of worship of all Christian denominations. Dr. PETTIGREW proposed a resolution commenda tory of the Secretary's scheme, and expressive of the meeting's determination to lend its strenuous efforts in carrying it into effect. Mr. Sr. CLAIR seconded the proposition in an effective speech, in which he showed that the assis tants themselves must shake off their apathy and luke warmness if they hoped to gain their end. Carried unanimously. After voting thanks to the Chairman, the meeting 'separated. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday Alderman CHALLIS brought up the re port of the Gaol Committee and the plans of Mr. Bunning for the New house of Correction. The estimate for the building was 80,0001. No division had taken place in the committee, every one of its members being actuated by a desire to prepare a plan which might afford opportunity for carrying out every improved form of discipline. The worthy alderman then took a survey of the stato of Newgate some years ago, and vindicated the conduct of the city magistrates in their plan for the reformation of cri. minals, and after some further observations, concluded by moving that the report should be read. otnhaartohuenyt should u t l tm h a h e eoatvriooon i te l Mr. Alderman SIDNEY felt great pleasure in agree ing with what Mr. Alderman Challis had said. The report and Mr. Bunning's estimate were then read. It is a documedt of some length, and sets forth the details of the plan and the approval of Sir G. Grey, contained in a letter dated Whitehall, Jan. 29, 1840, signed " S. M. Phillipps," and addressed to Mr. Bunning, together with suggestions and recommen• dations as to the arrangements of the infirmary, the prisoners' visiting-rooms, yards for exercise, &c. Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE moved that it be re ceived and returned back to the committee to be carried into effect, and described the advantages which would result from the erection of the proposed building. The greatest praise was due to Mr. Bun ning for his admirable plan, which had met with the high approbation of the members of her Majesty's Government. Alderman COPELAND seconded the motion for the reception of the report and plans of Mr. Bunning. Alderman GIBBS thought the report, which ap peared to be only signed by four members, should be maturely taken into consideration by the Court before it obtained its sanction. lie wished for the s w u e bj ll e a ct s , which, after a few words from Alderman WILSON, was agreed to. of thanks to Sir G. sake im portant of f regularity, natureo f the as Carroll was ordered to be framed and glazed, and presented to him. a n ul‘ a i b pr r o. abrupt Aldermanptthdee c m is i o o t n i 0.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the petition presented by Sir IVilleughby Jones, M.P. for the borough of Cheltenham, met again yes terday, in Room No. 3, at two o'clock. Their deli berations were conducted with closed doors, and when they rose it was understood that no definite conclu. sions on the questions referred to them had been arrived at. Mr. Booth, the examiner of election recognizances, again gave evidence before the Committee. The validity of the recognizinces attached to the petition presented against the return of Sir Wil loughby Jones is the principal question which the Committee is called upon to decide ; but the House has also referred to it the decision of similar points raised upon the petitions against the sitting Members for the county of Monmouth, the borough of Leicester, the city of Dublin, the borough of Bo& min, the county of Longford, and the borough of Walsall, The Committee meets again to-morrow at two o'clock. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. The following is a copy of the architect's report of the present state of the works at the New Palace at Westminster : " The carcase works of the building, as far as the site is available or free from temporary buildings, are completed, with the following exceptions, viz —the upper portions of the Victoria-tower, the Clock tower, and the Central-tower, which are, upon an average, 100 feet above the ground ; St. Stephen's porch above the level of about 60 feet from the ground ; two bays of the western portion of St. Stephen's-hall, which are within 8 feet of their intended height; and the central masses of the building abutting upon the Central-tower, and the towers of the River front, which, together with St. Stephen's-hall, are n ow roofed in. The scaffolding, stages, and hoisting tackle for the three towers are nearly c ompleted, and ' contracts have been made for proceeding with the upper portion of these towers. The , stone groin over the Octagon hall, under the Central-tower, is turned, the centring is struck, and the bosses are now being carved. The stone groining to the corridors in communication with the Central-hall, and other groins in various parts of the building, including those over the public stair case, are for the most part completed. The fittings and finishings of the Peers' and Commons' libraries, the Peers refreshment-rooms, and the offices attached thereto, and the offices for the Clerk of the Crown, are so far advanced as to a ll ow o f t h ose port i ons of the building being occupied prior to the Easter recess. The fittings and finishings of the committee-roems and corridors in the one-pair story of the river front are far advanced, and might have been completed by next Easter if the rooms had not been required for use at the comm encemen t o f th e p resen t sess i on . Th e finishings of the Lord Great Chamberlain's apart• ments, her Majesty's robing-room, and the wood ceilings, wainscot framings, doors, &0., for numerous apartments, corridors, &c., in various portions of the building, are in hand, and in part fixed.
