The Judges assembled at Westminster-hall, On a matter important to great and to small ; The scene was exciting, the Court was a craram'd And all seemed abs or b e d i n th e subject of Ilampdez. Each opened his ears, while he opened his vision, All anxious to come at the Judges' decision. "Tyres pleasing t• see, in a place so Immense, The " gents of tke long robe" wills interest intense ; While the Judges appeared in their wags and their ermine, The Bishop of Hereford's case to determine. lily opinion concerning this matter—but st 'Tis a party affair, and the subject mast troy. Per a topic like this—apolitical one— Is kept in the back-ground by MOSES and SON. Tet MOSES and SON your attention would call To a few scatter'd musings in IN estmlnster-hall. 'I here were certainly many things there to adult: e, While thousands assembled with laaltlfss . attire. T could trace, while I stood in the old justice-room, 'The presence of MOSES (at least in costume) ; Each of which (though I wouldn't rim anything, down), In beauty could vie with the lomg legal gown. While I gazed on the ermine the :fudges had on, I thought of the Furs of E. MOSES and SON. The Boots and the Shoes, and the Prime Paris Hats, The Gloves awl the Kerchiefs, t' e Stocks and Cravats, Plainly proved that the concourse in Westminster-hall, fle d given another great building a call. May they do so again —may the Mart be " cramm'd 'un," And thus concludes MOSES, with Penn Dickson Hampden. LIST OF PRICES. ILEADY MADE.

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 acqmieseed in by a large portion of the public, from a convictiGn of the niter im po.t , sibility in innumeral4le cases of cleansing a chimney or fine with the slit machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the Inge nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This Invention consists 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 dogble revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route mut perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used hi. the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry In continuing 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 obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St. James's; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Itirchin-lane ; at W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-street; and at the principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where applications for shares may be addressed. RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse quently this is the most important discovery ever slacte for the pre servatioa of life and property - either at Sea or on Land. AT SEA numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall suffice : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted in tho Caroline, its great power was the means *I saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom being partly loft without calking." " The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days ont at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked rnd became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eight,-:t nights was In ac tio. 'without a ailnutoto r ,, amte. when all armved safely In London, with a thank (lad for the Fountain Pump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely bettor service than a fire brigade. They net instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire. " We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so clety."—PAltors Liverpool Mail. The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a largo portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on firs in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. liorton's dyery, and 12,000/. worth of consigneli pro perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, a:id flour mils, and klessrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de strnetion and death. " Nortk Walsham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfylk Chro nicle, August 22, 1840. At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. • Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fact Is this, all former Force rumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Primps, and Chain Pumps are had machines: they rub, grub, and scrape the water upw ants by friction. which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hatton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus ;—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeis half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain 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 about 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 tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, anti with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esl., 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. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. iladdley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an iguorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were Identical. But the Yankee eut-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's remarks aro preposterous. However, en the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Ilay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the, rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain. aide rhas-acter:—The Fountain Pump is the most importaut improve ment lit the art of raising water that has a pr:ir,d within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke t• 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less coot than sommon pumps.

BRITISII COLLEGE OF lIEALTH, NEW-ROAD, LONDON. Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of lleavitree, near Exeter, M.R.C.S.L., for 1848. " I have new for thirteen years conducted the Exeter Hygelan 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 or two cases, but in hundreds), that the llygeian 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 llygeian 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 mt sincere thanks to the subscribers to the Dispensary. (Signed) " RICHARD TOTHILL, Surgeon, &c. " llcavitree, near Exeter, Jan. 1,1848." N.B.

ELOPEMENT.—An affair of this kind has taken place at Penzance, and has enlivened the dulness of per sons young anti 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 home, 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 ltedruth, 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. TnE NORTII ESS FISIIING.—The season for sal mon has opened rather unfavourably this year. Mr. Straton's first night's fishin only numbered some half a•dozen. Mr. Tayle r of ltirktonhill was, we believe, more fortunate—his men having caught somewhere about thirty—but, upon the whole, the opening has not been satisfactory.—Montrose Standard. TRADING IN SEDUCTION.—A deputation from the Committee of the Associate Institution had an interview yesterday with Lord Chief Justice Denman, in his Lordship's room, adjoining the Court of Queen's Bench, on the provisions of a Bill for the suppression of Trading in Seduction and Prostitution.

MINISTER 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 tailoring and authorship. Mr. Ilumfre y , 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 fur the pur pose of giving more e•lat t') 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 1845, when he started it, down to 1846, when the plaintiff entered the lists, he revelled in his work undisturb?d, 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 arreng!.ment 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 Pari.sian 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 /ion, 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 gaTc a verdict in his favour— Damages, 403. SEDUCTION.-TIDBUR r. BR YANT. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re cover compensation in damages for the lo:s of the ser vices of his daughter-in-law, CarAine Floyd, occa sioned by the seduction of the defendant. Mr. 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 pe::red 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 3hirts. 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 December she communi cated herimpressions to him. He askedher she knew a Mr. Howard and a Mr. Ford. She amavered, she knew the former, but not the latter, lat had not known Mr. Howard since she knew him (the de fendant). Witness went to defendant en many 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 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, or quarterly. He further said that he could a letter to the L y i ng -i n -H osp i ta l, an d th a t giveni wte o herl u l' l t d h c )' cost him three guineas ; and that after her confinement she could go out to service, and put the child out to nurse. Upon one occasion defendant told her in the month of December that " she had better give the litee devil prussic acid." This was when she was asking 1 - .itn to keep her while she was in her confine- Defendant, in ment. presence of witness's mother, said he could not afford to keep her, but that he would d ) whatever the law allowed. 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 September previous to the birth of the child, being too ill in consequence of her pregnancy. The baby-linen was bought for her by her father and mother. She had medical attendance for some time prior to her confinement ; and her mother, in consequence of her (witness's)) state, was obliged to obtain and prey for assistance in her place for five weeks, at the rate of 7s. 6(1. a week ; and to another young woman she was obliged to pay 3s. per wee k, for twelve weeks, to assist her. Her father paid the expenses of her confinement. Cross-examined—She has neither brother nor sister. The defendant was not the first man who had illicit intercourse with her. Mr. Howard, as sistant to Mr. R o u s e , the surgeon, by whom she was haattdeniads was for three y ears in habits of improperd intercourse with her in th at way ; but their intimacy 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. The magistrate heard all the de fendant's counsel and attorn e y chose to advance against her, but not the whole of what she had to state. When she was before the mag i strate s h e sa id she had not known Mr. Howard si nce s h e h a d b een l f l e i nci cit an i t ntercou ree with him. ; but she did not s a y She did not see Mr. Howard to-day, in th e cour t, a tl e ta g t ua s in he ted n \ e ' v ' but met him at Hammersmith, i e t h r t h h a e d de i when on her way to court. Her mother did not know that she was improperly intimate with Mr. Howard until now. Her application at the H ammersmith Police court was dismissed. What she had said at that court was, that she had not had any illicit intercourse with Mr. Howard since she knew the defendant. The attorney whom her father employed to conduct her case, asked her if she had had any familiar intercourse with Mr. Howard, and she informed him she had not. She had seen that gentleman about the court this morning, but had not seen him since he left Mr. Rouse's until the present occasion. He attended her baby when he was ill, as the assistant of Mr. Rouse. The latter gentleman attended 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. 'Toward was her " first love." She had not made any inquiries as to where he had gone to live, notwithstanding he was her " first love.' They did not quarrel when they parted. Re-examined—Mr. Howard 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 statemen t was for the first time publicly elicited from her. Defendant had counsel end attorney at the police court, at Hammersmith ; but witness had neither, and her case was dismissed. " She swore that she had not had any improper inter course with Howard for six months preceding her intimacy with the defendant, nor with any other man. Some weeks before her child was born, Mr. Rouse had said that he would not attend her in her confinement unless some other professional man was with him at the time, because it had been rumoured that the child had been poisoned while she was bear ing it, and when the confinement took place, Mr. Howard was called in.

Anne Czok, examined by 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 ❑ot 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 Mr. Rouse for it. Cross-examined by "Mr. HUMFREY—Mr. Hovrard 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. ATHERTON.—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—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 th it responsibility upon himself of delivering her. His bill might be from 71 to 8/. Mr. Howard was an assistant in his service at the time, but he is hot now. He is somewhere in the neighborzhool of Camden-town. -Witness's business is large, and he is:obliged to keep two assistants. Crols-examinesi by Mr. HumeaEr —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 ; hut the latter was not the case. Re-examined by Mr. CRoWDEß—Howard was present with witness at the confinement, a certain message came, Mr. Howard went off, and witness hastened after hira. Mr, lloward was now in Court. His salary in witness's service was fifty guineas a year, and board and lodging. This closed the plaintiff's case. Mr. HumrnnEr addressed the jury for the defence. He 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; hut they should at the same time, in his opinion, have 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 Enr.E summed up, and The jury, after some deliberation, gave a verdic for the plaintiff. Damages-151. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. Elizabeth Cousins, a middle- aged . woman, 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 fr)m her sister that the prisoner's first husband was still living. lie 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. Manias Eagle, the Post-office clerk, was again brought up, on the charge of stealing two letters, and fully committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. Thomas Ingram, of 6, White Lion-street, Chelsea, described es a shoemaker, was charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding Elizabeth Harris, 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, Grosvenut-row, Pimlico, on Monday even ing. At about ten at night something was said 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, 38 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 alfo 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 we2pon, 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. Inthe to co th u e rs m e a o g f is t t h r e ate af : t_ernoon the following was handed " 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. BRODERIP said he should certainly not take bail, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded. William Mardon, a man well known to the police, was charged with uttering spurious half-sovereigns. There were two cases distinctly proved against the accused. Ile went into Mr. Osmand's, Marsham street, Westminster, on Monday week, and asked for half an ounce of tobacco, in payment for which he put down half a sovereign, which was examined and found to be genuine. He then 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. He 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 Kempahall 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 tl at sl - e had lost her purse, he instantly set off .in pursuit of the prisoner, and overtook him near Aldridge's Repository lie had no sooner stopped the prisoner than he was surrounded by half a dozen thieves, who attacked him and bit his hands severely, in order to induce him to release the prisoner. Harnett, however, kept his hold, and took the prisoner towards Bow-street Police-court. On the way the prisoner offered to pledge his coat and return the lady the money, if he was released. The case being in the district of this court, it was sent here. While the parties were on the road, a gang of the prisoner's companions 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 Leen found. The witness Harnett said he saw the prisoner give the purse to one of his companions, who made his escape with the booty. EP-9.10E SD. The prisoner VMS fully committed. BENEVOLENCE. — Miss Fritheringham sent 11. 17i 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. MARYLEBONE. _ John 0' Conneili:d John Martin 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-floor 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 inv:stigatinn 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 floor, 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 ma king any answ er , h e k noc k ed 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 u p an d screamed, and rushed downstairs, followed by a man, whom she saw snake 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 th a t i n failing 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, Sze., in Miss Payne's and her brother's bedrooms, and tWO large bundles, ready to carry off, had been pecked up ; they contained property of different descriptions, to the amount of from 401. 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 bean 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 buildir.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 us 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. D. W. Wire, Esq., presided, supported by J. Lilwall, Esq., the secretary of the association, Dr. Pettigrew, and other gentlemen. The CIIAIRMAN, 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 many good people enter tained as likely to ensue from affording the young men employed in shops an extension of their hours of rest from labour. After impressing upon his hearers the paramount claims of the mental, moral, and spiritual 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. LILWALL, 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. ST. CLAin seconded the proposition in an effective speech, in which he showed that the assis tants themselves must shake off their apathy and luke warmnessif they hoped to gain their end. Carried unanimously. After voting thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated.

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.

Mr. Andrew With am , an eng i n eer, aged 68, and eath his wife, Ann Witham, aged 58, who died within a few hours of each other, under very mysterious cir cumstances, was resumed and concluded yesterday afternoon, at the Queen Catherine public-house, Brook-street, Ratcliffe, before Mr. W. Baker, the Middlesex Coroner. Mr. Doane, a solicitor, who was somewhat peculiarly interested in the inquiry, was present to watch the proceedings ; as also Mr. Super intendent Bilson, of the K division of police, at the request of the Commissioners of Police. On the investigation being re-opened, Mrs. Sarah Westmore, of No. 1, Brook-street, liatclifte, win called. She said she had known the deceased for several years past. On the Tuesday p revious to Mrs. Witham's death she went into th eir house, and noticed that Mrs. Witham was ill. She remarked to the nurse, " Mrs. Witham is ver y unwell,: who replied, " Yes ; he will have to m ake another will (meaning the husbard). She m ade her no reply. On the fol lowing morning she again went toinquire about them, when the nurse informed her that he had made a will in her favour. (By the solicitor's testi it appeared that the will was not ing (lay.) the CORONER—She never saw anything ad- Acre(' to them, not even medicine. She saw him e Saturday before his death, and he seemed imbecile, certainly not fit to make a will. The CORONER here inquired of Mr. Superintendent Bilson 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 rrported promiscuously in the btreets. Mr. William Witham, a brother of the deceased, was sworn—He 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. He 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 —W hy 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 goin; 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 fur 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 th• material impregnated with such said smell was taken did not appear."
