As he had not a farthing of money she supported him for the first few weeks by pledging her clothes, and when she had nothing left to dispose of the prisoner proposed to her to receive visits from gentlemen, and intimated that if she was too shy or proud to go out and solicit the ac quaintance, he would himself bring them home to her. In consequence of this infamous proposal she left him and sought refuge at the house of her fathar-in-law; but the prisoner had since been in the habit of perpetually annoying her, and of threatening her father-in-law's life.' On the preceding night he forced his way into the house and behaved with so much violence that they were obliged to give him into custody. Whilst the complainant was giving her evidence she was interrupted by the prisoner, who vehemently denied having urged her to go upon the streets, and declared that until the time she left him he supported her as well as he could by copying dramatic pieces. Prior to that he was employed as storekeeper at Drury-lane, and as dresser to Mr. Macready. A FETY ROTATION RAILWAY COM- P A NY.

This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.:—let, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many disease 3, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lun g s . putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature, of those habits to which . youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis , estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of 1/., without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most. inviolable secrecy may he relied on.

PROPOSED PUBLIC DINNER TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY. (From the Brighton• Gazette.) A most respectable meeting, convened by the High Constable in pursuance of a requisition, was held on Monday at the Town Hall, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of manifesting some pub lic token of attention and respect to the Directors of the London and Brighton Railway Company by inviting them to a public dinner, or otherwise, on the important occasion of opening the said Railway from London to Brighton. Mr. E. H. Creasy, in the absence of the High Consta ble, who was too unwell to attend, having been called to the Chair, said he had great pleasure in taking part at a meeting for the purpose of celebrating an event which, in his humble opinion, was of the greatest importance to this highly-favoured town.—(Cheers.) Mr. SEYMOUR then rose to move the first resolution, and said—The object is to present some testimonial of kindness and regard, and attention to those who have taken the leading part in that which, I believe, we shall all consider to be, in the most essential degree, condu cive to the future prosperity of this town. It may be said that when persons adventure upon speculations, they adventure for their own interests, and therefore are entitled to nothing beyond what those speculations may bring them ; but I, 'for one, am quite of a different opinion, and all experience runs the other way. When our great Captain returned to this country from the wars, covered with laurels, we did not say to him, " You are paid, and we give you no thanks," but we said, " We will give you wealth and dignity, as a testimony that you have done that which, although only your duty, has aggrandised the country to the greatest possible extent."—(Cheers and an expression of disapprobation from one or two persons in the meeting.) The same thing has occurred with re gard to other persons. We are at this moment, through out Great Britain, erecting monuments to the memory of Sir Walter Scott ; yet that man, by his works, made more than a hundred:l thousand pounds, and persons who were niggardly. would say that was an enormous sum. The fact is, that when you call in a physician who cures the patient, you do not say, " You are paid for what you have done, and that is sufficient," but the recovered patient and his family almost bow down and worship the person who has saved him, to be the joy and honour of his family, and perhaps an ornament to his country. I consider, therefore, that nothing could be more nig gardly or more discouraging to those who make great attempts, than to tell them that they are engaged in a speculation, and that they must therefore expect no praise, no thanks, whoever may be benefited by that speculation that rdn no risk. I consider that the pre sent work is one that we ought to admire, as a victory of mind over matter.--e-(Cheers.) It is one that, I think, we may fairly say will be known and estimated by the whole world ; for there is nothing of this description but must connect itself with every part of civilized Europe.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to ourselves, it might be comprised in a single sentence—the benefit which it confers on Brighton. It has made us a part of London—(Hear, hear)—a part of the great metropolis of the world, and its increasing prosperity must be pro portioned accordingly. The fact is, that London, that great metropolis, abounding in wealth, and intellect, and rank, and station, wanted only one thing, and that thing which we have to give them,—namely, health;—the sea coast, the nearest to the metropolia. It is not a benefit conferred upon Brighton, merely by the transit of pas sengers ; a benefit will be found from the railway bring ing to us permanent inhabitants. People cannot help coming to reside here.—(Hear, and continued cheers.) I said so from the beginning, when my opinion was asked as to what was likely to be the consequence' to Brighton of the formation of the railway. I stated then, as I state now, that the advantages which the town offered were so great that a large portion of Lon don must come and permanently reside here. The fact is, that there is no blessing without health, and the me tropolis is so large, the population so dense, the fogs so great, and the smoke so entense, that it is utterly impos sible for persons to dwell there for a length of time, par ticularly the female part of the creation and their chil dren, without ineurrint disease. If they come to Brighton, they need not wait till they are sick; let them, come when they are well, in order to preserve their health. And it is to be remembered that when I say health, Ido not mean the mere muscular power of moving the limbs, but a sound mind in a sound body. Now Brighton would not have been in a situation to receive all the benefits of the railway, if like, Eastbourne, it were a mere terminus or a means of proceeding to the Continent ; but the fact is, that we are in a situation to receive London, for we are as like London as two peas are to each other. We have a resident aristocracy, we have an. abundance of the three learned professions, we have great capitalists as contractors, bankers, merchants, and tradesmen of all descriptions ; our beautiful shops rival those of the Palais Royal, and as for Vanity Fair, we have shops which beat even Howell and James's. These things are to us comparatively trivial, but to the wealthy they are necessaries. For if' you make a railway to a desert, you will not carry inhabitants to the terminus. We have also all the improve ments that have been made in London ; we have the town lighted with gas, we have the water laid on, which is hardly the case in any other maritime town in the kingdom, so that, in all respects, we are prepared to receive the benefits likely to arise from the enormous influx of persons residing in London, who will use the railway ; and it is my firm belief that large families will come to reside here per manently, because the heads of those families will be enabled, by means of the railway, to go to London to transact those concerns that may be necessary, without being alienated from their families, as is now the case, while their families are ta Brighton, owing to the transit between this town and London by coach not being suffi ciently rapid. These are some of my reasons for think ing that Brighton will be greatly benefited by the rail way. In order to close this part of my case, I will re mark, that although we may give health, we cannot give life eternal; and if our visitors die here, we are prepared with the prettiest burial-ground in all the kiegdotte— (Laughter.) All this I have been saying about ourselves; but the object for which we are met is to say something about the Railway Company, and I assure you that I entertain the warmest approbation and admiration of their great efforts. When they first proposed to bring a railroad to Brighton, no man said; " Don't come ;" but it became a matter of competition who should come, and how they should come, and in the course of that competition there was no objection upon the face of the plan, or that could be raked out or imagined, that was not raised up in evidence against the possibility of carrying it out. Nature, it was said, presented such obstacles, that it was impossible : so that, in point of fact, we are met, not to congratulate the Company for having conquered great difficulties, but for having accomplished impossibilities. There are many in this room who heard testimony, upon oath, in the House of Lords, 'that the line was impos sible. Well, they succeeded at last in obtaining their Bill. They set about their work, and then their difficul-• ties may be said to have been begun. Every step they took they were obliged to buy with gold ; avarice was against them; there was blame attached to them upon all occasions for what they began, and what they did not begin, they were slandered; they were blamed, they were intimidated, they had law against him, they had every affliction almost that can attach to mortal man, they had enemies amongst themselves; but, notwithstanding all this, by the opera tion of science, by courage, by judgment, discretion; • zeal, and perseverance, they are arrived at the town of Brighton.—(Cheers.) Are not such men to be praised and encouraged ? Are we to be so stoical as to say, " It is all for your own benefit that you have done this, and we don't thank you?" If so, we should have a right to say, " Would you praise a man for doing his duty ?" It becomes every man to do his duty; but when a man has done his duty through life, and he is assembled amongst his fellow men, will you not praise him for what he has done? If not, you withhold that meed of praise which forms the motive for many a noble action, ' and incites to unwearied • and beneficial exertion. We are all deeply interested in the progress of mind. There are in nature many things which may• be said to stand' still ; there are the blue sky, the vivid lightning, the majestic thunder, there is the sea. All these may be said to be still ; but the mind of man is ad vancing, and we should endeavour to promote its pro gress in every way in our power.—(Cheers.) It may be said, how arc you to show this kindness to the Directors of the Company ? They don't seek money ; but they would be less than men if they did riot wish for the ap probation of their fellow men; and, therefore, it was pro- ,:• .:~_. posed that we should meet them in the old English way, and give them an English dinner. I believe this plan will be universally approved throughout the town, and I the only difficulty wilt be (which may be left to a Com mittee) how to do this in the best manner; and although there might be a wish that the dinner should be very popular and extensive, that will be utterly impossible, if you give the Directors such a din ner as will be respectful to them, as the dinner must be expensive. You must not give - them a cold reception ; you must not invite the Directors to a cold dinner. That would be throwing cold water upon their steam, and to no Railway Director would that be acceptable. — (Laughter.) I think I have now said sufficient to justify me in moving the resolution which I hold in my hands— " That in the opinion of this meeting, on such an impor tant ( vent as the openilig of the London and Brighton Railway, it is desirable that the inhabitants of Brighton, in order to show their high sense of the great benefits which that that splendid work Will confer upon the town, should invite the Directors to a public dinner." Nor:, Gentlemen, I conclude with what I began. I feel greatly obliged to my fellow 7 townsinen for having selected me to make this proposition, because it was demonstrated to me, not that they expected I should do it with sufficient ' ability, but that they have had sufficient experience of me in this town to know that I am ever anxious for its prosperity.—(Cheers.) Mr. F. CoorEn said the honour of seconding the re solution had been entrusted to him ; and had it not been for the eloquent speech which had been delivered to the meeting by the Honourable mover, he should have found great difficulty in presenting it in such a way as its merits deserved. He was relieved of that difficulty by the very able manner in which the advantages to this town from the formation of the railway.. had been pointed out by Mr. Seymour. He - (Mr. Cooper) felt that the opening of this railway would be one of the most importaietevents that had ever occurred to the town of BrighbM. It must necessarily increase its-pros perity, and produce advantages to every individual lo cated amongst them. He agreed in almost every thing that had been said by Mr. Seymour, who, however. went a little too far when he said the Directors had I overcome impossibilities. ' The fact was, that al though Mr. Rastrick knew it could be done, it was stated upon honour and upon oath, in the Houses of Parliament, that his project was not only impracticable, but that the idea amounted to an absurdity. They had now the re port of the Government engineer that that which was stated, upon oath and declaration, to be almost an ab surdity and an impossibility, had not only been effected, but that it had been completed in the most masterly style, so much so that the railroad to Brighton was re presented to be one of the most perfect in the kingdom. —(Cheers.) He (Mr. Cooper) had perhaps had greater opportunities than the Honourable Mover of the reso lution, of intercourse with the Directors who had the management of the concern, and he could say with safety, and he said it with pleasure, that in his life he had never met with more honourable and straightforward men, men of greater ability and as suidity, men whose assiduity and ability had enabled them to overcome all the difficulties of the undertaking. The Honourable Mover was perfectly correct in stating that obstacles were presented in every stage of the work, for not only the natural obstacles of the country through which the line passed hal to be overcome, but the ob stacles of interested parties in endeavouring to prevent the raising of the necessary funds to carry out this stu pendous work. From the day when the Bill passed up to the present time, the shares of the Company had been invariably at a discount : but, independently of that, ir respective of their overcoming all the difficulties which that circumstance necessarily produced, the Directors proceeded with a straightforward determination to dis charge their duty, and nothing but that determination and the activity with which they proceeded to execute it, had enabled them, in the depression under which the con cern was attempted to be kep.,, to complete it in the manner they had done. There were no means so well calculated to express the EngliSh manly feeling of the town towards these gentlemen as to invite them to a public dinner. He felt confident that the inhabitants of Brighton would heartily concur in the proposition; that they would, one and all, concur in making it a recep tion worthy of the occasion, and an honour to those who had so much benefited the town.—(Cheers.) He there fore had the greatest pleasure in seconding the motion, which he was sure would be unanimously carried. Mr. MATTHEWS had always been so strong an admirer of this line, that he had been called an enthusiast. He differed with Mr. Seymour with regard to the dinner ; for he would rather see a thousand men enjoying them selves on the occasion, than a hundred sitting in a hot room drinking champagne and complimenting each other. He knew the pride of the Brighton people was to do everything better than others ; and he should like the resolution to go the extent of inviting the share holders: They might say he was interested in that, because he was himself a shareholder—(A laugh) —but he would waive that by taking his own ticket. Besides, it should not be forgotten that it was by the voice of the people, the working people of Brighton, that the Bill was obtained ; and he should like to see them enjoying a holiday on the occasion, with plenty to eat and drink. He could see around him many who had partaken of the Directors' champagne ; and he should like to see them give a subscription dinner in return. He once lived upon the great Bath-road, when he used to see the invalids bundling down from town on a Mon day, and it was then thought pretty well if they got back on Thursdty. This was four days. Brighton could then be reached in six hours, and that made the town. Comparing Bath and Brighton, Mr. Matthews mentioned that he had told a party at Bath that they would never beat us till they could get our " herring pond" in their neighbourhood. The railroad would, he thought, be of incalculable advantage to the town. Now was there any objection to inviting the shareholders ? A Gentleman, whose name we could not learn, said — I should like to second that, and to invite the Engineer as well as the Directors. CHAIRMAN — The requisition is very explicit ; I think we cannot go beyond the Directors. Mr. MATTHEWg—Not if the meeting is unanimous ? Mr. SEYMOUR—Let us begin with the Directors, and have half-a-dozen more dinners, if we can. CHAIRMAN—Perhaps, Mr. Matthews may be antici pated with regard to the shareholders. I merely wish now to say that I have had the pleasure of dining at the expence of the Directors, when my friend, Mr. Mat thews, sat opposite to me.—(Laughter.) Mr. Mmuews---That was before the Bill passed ; but don't suppose I want to throw anything like dissen sion in the meeting. I will agree to any thing ; but I want to do the thing handsome, and I should like to see the shareholders at the dinner. Mr. HoLTHAm remarked that the question must, after all, be left to a Committee, who, if they found it desi rable, could call the inhabitants together, and take their opinion upon Mr. Matthews's suggestion. But it would be indiscreet for the preient meeting, without funds, to resolve on a very large expenditure. Mr. SEYMOUR, in reply, said he was no shareholder, nor had he ever tasted any of the Directors' turtle or venison—no, nor even their bread and cheese. — (Laughter.) He should like to see a feast as extensive as Mr. Matthews sug g ested ; but that was impossible. After passing this resolution they would, of course, ap point a Committee, and these gentlemen would consider the best possible manner of carrying out the object of the meeting, and, if practicable, of enlarging that object. He wished now to mention one circumstance which he had forgotten when he before addressed them, but which reflected great honour on the Company. Among the advantages of Brighton were its charities, at the head of which stood the Sussex County Hospital. That Insti tution had assisted the poor men who were injured in the progress of the railway, several of whom had been at the Hospital, and most of them, had been cured ; and the Directors had shown that science and benevolence went together like two cherries upon one stalk, for they had sent to the Hospital donations to the amount of 1501. Mr. Seymour then mentioned that a letter was a short time ago sent to them, stating the number of railway e i g e h d t a h t o t u h r e s, li a o f s u p r it t t i t i l e , r in gi r f e t s o p f o l n ( s w e e tgo a u s .: es vniei ai t c h sh. a t had b came, i enenforretyce -1 The resolution was then put and carried with only two dissentients, Mr. Bowdidge and another. Mr. C. WIGNEY proposed a resolution that a Com mittee be appointed to carry the foregoing resolution into effect, with full power to make every arrangement which can render the dinner agreeable and the Direetors sensible of the feelings of the inhabitants of the town of Brighton for their exertions. Mr. H. SMITHERS had great pleasure in seconding that resolution. He was sure that they would all join heart and hand; the Committee would be anxious to do their utmost, and let the town see whether, by subscribing li berally, they could not do more than give the Directors a dinner.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped that they would make it a high day and a holiday, and shut up their shops and enjoy themselves. Mr. B. WOOD remarked that an era was dawning upon them which would, in his opinion, make Brighton more prosperous than ever she had been before. With the ex perience of the effect produced by the starting of the six hour coaches by Mr. Whitchurch, twenty years ago, he had no doubt that the increased rapidity of travelling by means of the railway would be beneficial in proportion to the increase of speed. On the motion of Mr. F. COOPER, seoonded by Mr. Forecino, thanks were voted to the Chairman ; and the meeting broke up. SHEERNESS, AUG. 31.—Last night the Rus sian Finland ship Solide, Captain Batlund, at present dis charging in the basin here, got so imbedded in the mud that, on the flood tide, she did not float, and the raft port having been left open, the water rushed in and al most filled her. When the circumstance was discovered, an alarm was immediately given . to the police, and in a few minutes Lieutenant Wise, RN. (director of the po lice), with 'all his men, and the assistance of the mili tary guard, and Mr. Easto, assistant -master, attended. The fleck load of the Solide, and her victualling stores having been speedily removed, she rose from her bed in the mud, but immediately on her floating, owing to the great quantity of water in her hold, and having a flot, om cargo, she fell over on her larboard broadside, but was fortunately prevented froth capsizing by coming against the wall of the basin. As it was, however, the water flowed over her lee-rail, and up to her main-hatch comings. The principal part of her Victualling stores being of a perishable . mititre, are quite destroyed; The crew were engiged . Ori fruesdiv in pumping her out, MANSION-HOUSE. A good deal of interest was excited by an investiga tion, which was concluded yesterday before the LORD Maxon, who presided when the subject was first brought to the notice of the City authorities. Serjeant Vale, of the City police establishment, a man of respectable character, was charged by Mr. Flexton, the owner - of a beer-shop, at No. 8, Miles's-lane, with having exceeded the duty of a policeman, in searching his (complainant's) house at an unseasonable hour, and without any reasonable cause. Mr. Ashley, solicitor to the complainant, stated that the case was one of considerable importance, inasmuch as, if the course pursued by the defendant was to be sup ported by the Magistracy, the citizens of London would be subject to the most tyrannical annoyance and insults. He then stated the circumstances, as they were subse quently detailed by the witnesses. Henry Harrison, servant to the complainant, deposed that a gentleman and a female, both strangers to him, came to the house on Wednesday evening at abeut half past ten o'clock, walked into the parlour, and called for a pint of ale. Witness served them, and in about a quarter of an hour they called for another, and soon afterwards the woman walked hastily out of the house. The gentleman, when she had left the door, came to the bar and asked which way his companion had gone, and witness mentioned the way he supposed she had taken, upon which the gentleman declared that it was false, and that witness knew her, and that she had robbed him (the gentleman) of a shirt pin. On the same night the-gen tleman came again, bringing with him a policeman, but did nothing. On Thursday morning, however, at six o'clock, witness saw the defendant and another policeman at the door, and was informed by them that they had come to search the house. After the door was opened the defendant insisted upon going up stairs to search the Witness expostntating . e?..,ranst las‘tunion. The complainant also denied the right of the police to go up stairs and search the house without a warrant, and asked the defendant to show his authority. The defendant merely pointed to the figures on his collar and said that was his warrant. The defendant wished the accuser to be as candid as possible, and assured the Lord Mayor that he had waited a reasonable time, during which every one in the house might have been dressed. The witness did not deny that reasonable time was given. Mr. John Lamb, a young man of very respectable ap pearance, stated that he was a lodger in the complainant's house for two years. He slept in a double bedded room, in which another person also slept, and they were quite astonished to see policemen forcing their way in. When they heard the noise of the visitors on the stairs witness desired his companion not to let them in without the production of a search warrant, but the door was injudi ciously opened, and in they walked. Witness told them that if they had a warrant they might examine all his property, and the complainant pointed at his collar and answered in a tone of authority the most insolent and disgusting. Sergeant Vale said that his conduct had been misre presented by the witnesses, for he had conducted him self with temper and forbearance, and had not been guilty of any violation of his duty as a member of the police. The fact was, that he observed a gentleman, who stated his name to be Edward Brown, and mentioned his address, watching the house at a very early hour in the morning, and upon inquiry learned from him that he had been robbed of his pin by a woman, who in duced him to go into the parlour of the beer shop. Upon learning all the circumstances he (defendant) considered it to be his duty to assist the gentleman, and he accord ingly waited till half-past six o'clock, when the door was opened, and he then certainly insisted upon search ing the house, as the person who complained of having been robbed, was under the strongest impression that the female was on the premises. One of the witnesses (Mr. Lamb) for the complainant had acted in a most un gentlemanlike and violent manner. Mr. Lamb—You said that you would search every cupboard and corner in the house, and made the most vile and insolent insinuations. If I had had my clothes on I certainly would have kicked you down stairs, for I never witnessed so gross an outrage. I have known the house long, and it is well known to be highly re spectable ; and if the inmates are to be insulted by such visits, it will be quite impossible to live in the City at all. , The Loan MAYOR ordered that the case should be postponed till yesterday, and that Mr. Brown should be summoned to attend and give evidence. Mr. Brown accordingly made his appearance yes terday. He stated that he accompanied the female alluded to, whom he met near London-bridge, to the I beer-shop. She had invited him to accompany her home, but he refused. He, however, consented to give her a glass of ale. After they had sat together for a while, she suddenly went away, and he immediately missed his pearl shirt-pin, which he valued very much. He directly went out, and, seeing the waiter at the door, asked him which way the woman turned ; to which the waiter replied, " Down Thames-street." Witness enter tained a suspicion on the subject, and waited in the neighbourhood all night, in the course of which some filth was thrown out. The defendant ad dressed him at last, and when he (witness) mentioned what had occurred. said, that if a robbery had been com mitted, the house should certainly be searched. When the defendant was proceeding to search, the complainant said to him that he might search, and be d—d. Witness went with him through every room. The Loan Maxon—Was there any misbehavour on the part of the defendant ? Witness—No, I can't say there was anything objectionable. The LORD MAYOR—Was any door opened by vio lence ? Witness—No, I consider the conduct of the defendant mild. Mr. Ashley said that the complainant did not charge the officer With violence. The charge was simply, that the officer had no justification in enter ing the house before the inmates were up, and for searching it under pretence that the woman who was stated to have committed a robbery was there. The complainant had kept the house for six or seven years, and the parish officers were ready to prove that he was in every way unexceptionable, and it was not to be supposed that such a person was likely to harbour thieves: The Lonn MAYOR observed that there was no charge of that kind brought. Mr. Ashley said that the impression likely to be made in a neighbourhood in which such a proceeding upon the part of an officer took place was very prejudicial. Mr. Hobler said that there was certainly evidence of a stretch of power upon the part of the defendant. The LORD MAYOR said that the defendant did not enter the house until the door was opened by the ser vant. after having watched a reasonable time, neither did he commit violence of any kind. Mr. Ashley admitted that the defendant had threat ened to break open every door and cupboard in the house. He could see nothing in the City Police Act giving such a power as the defendant had assumed. The police were invested with great power. The question was, whether any stretch of that power ought not ha mediately to be resisted. The LORD MAYOR declared that he did not consider the charge against the defendant to be at all sustained. If the defendant had gone at an unreasonable hour, and insisted upon admission he would have done wrong. A beer-shop was not after all like . a private house. The officer thought he should find the woman there, and it would be injudicious to discourage a man in such a situation from civilly aiding the ends of justice. Mr. Ashley—The conduct of the defendant is cer tainly at variance with the principle of protecting the liberty of the subject ; and Mr. Hobler, of whose expe rience and judgment there can be no question, has said that there has been a stretch of authority. The Loan MAYOR—I cannot agree with my excellent friend Mr. Hobler in the view he takes. Ido not think that the man has done anything wrong, but if the com plainant entertains a different opinion he can go to the City Commissioner, and submit the case to him. I dis miss it, or I refer it to Mr. Harvey. BOW-STREET. On Tuesday a person, whose name was said to be William John Bankes, was brought up by constable Bennet, 88 'A division, and placed at the bar before . Mr. Jardine, charged with indecently exposing himself with a soldier of. the Foot Guards in the Green Park. The prisoner, on being brought to the station-house, gave the name of John Harris, and described himself as a servant out of place, as appeared by the police sheet. The constable stated that about half past twelve o'clock on the morning of yesterday he saw the prisoner and a soldier on Constitution-hill, near the Green-park, and they both went over the palings into the Green Park, while witness was proceeding down the walk. They then crossed the centre of the park, and stopped at the further side, near a clump of trees. The re mainder of the evidence is unfit for publication. Sergeant Tierney, 8 A division, 1 - vho took the charge, stated that the prisoner gave the name of John Harris, a servant out of place, or upper servant, which witness had reason to believe was not correct, as he had, since he was apprehended, admitted that he was a gentleman of fortune. The prisoner also told witness, before he was placed at the bar, that if his name was suppressed, he would retire to one of his country seats, and he could be bailed by the name of Harris. Mr. JARDINE said he had no observations to make about the charge, or the evidence in support of it, but to require bail, which would be in proportion to the prison er's station in life, and that was himself in 2001., and his sureties 1001. each, to answer the charge at the next ses sions of the Central Criminal Court. wax -ch and- In the course of the day William Dorset , ler, 52, King-street, Whitehall, and Thom as Sncesum, a builder, 13, Great Smith-street, Westm inster, were ac cepted as sureties ; and the prisoner was set at liberty. • WORSHIP-STREE T. The Baron Rehausen, the Swedish Minister, and Cap tain Leven, of the Swedish Guards, occupied seats on the Bench with Mr. Broughton, the Magistrate, during the greater part of yesterday, and appeared to take much interest in the proceedinl.,rs. Henry Valentine Hooker, a young man, who state:] that he was formerly in the situation of valet to 111 r. Macready, the tragedian,having was charged with having an noyed and molested his wife, and also with having threat ened the life of her father-in law. The'Wife, Who was a very fine young woman, stated that she was' married to the prisoner about two years ago, and he then told her that he held the Eituatioa of The wife rejoined that he well knew she had spoken nothing but the truth, and that only three weeks after they were married, in consequence of the state of health he was in, her own became so seriously impaired that she had been ever since under medical treatment, and her constitution was destroyed. The prisoner admitted the truth of the last accusation, and said that he was sorry for it. Police constable Haywood said that about Christmas last he held a warrant against the prisoner, at the suit of his wife, but on hearing that it had been taken out the prisoner absconded, and it was supposed that he had enlisted in the East India Company's Service. After he was locked up on the preceding night he behaved with great violence, and made an attempt to strangle himself, in which he nearly succeeded. Mr. Craggs. the wife's father-in-law, a respectable looking man, upwards of seventy years of age, produced a large bundle of letters and papers which the prisoner had written respecting 'him. Most of the letters were addressed to witness and his neighbours, and they con tained the "most horrible threats and imprecations against him. One of the papers, which was couched in the most profane language, was actually affixed by the prisoner to the door of the parish church, where it re mained until it was pulled down by the beadle. Tho witness added, that he considered his life in imminent danger from the prisoner's violence. The MAGISTRATE, after reading the documents, in quired if there was any proof that the prisoner had written them. Prisoner—l admit that they were all written by me, and I consider that I was justified in employing that language towards the man who has been instrumental in separating me from my wife whom I dearly love. The MAGISTRATE — You: have forfeited all right to your wife's society in consequence of the treatment which you admit yourself she has received from you, and I shall require you to enter into your own recog nizance in 501. and find two sureties in 401. each to keep the peace towards your father-in-law. The prisoner, who was much excited, was then locked up. A CHARTIST'S VlCTlM.—Joseph Clark, a poor boy who last week applied to the Magistrate in a deplorably destitute condition, re-appeared before the Magistrate yesterday. The statement which he had made on the first occasion was, that his father bad been killed by the Chartist insurgents in Wales, for refusing to join them in their attack upon the town of Newport, under the convict Frost. Mr. BROUGHTON, who had directed some inquiries to be made in the meantime, now questioned the lad again as to some of the principal facts. The poor fellow's account was in brief that his mother died at Bristol, where his father was in the employ of Messrs. Ackerman and Co., iron-founders ; and while there they lived in Temple-street. After the death of his mother, his father went with him, their only off spring, to a place called Pen Gwyntley, near Newport, and was employed in iron works there. On the first morning of the attack on Newport, they met on the road a large body of the insurgents headed by Mr. Frost in person, whom he said he saw on horseback, and some of them laid hold of his father, and insisted upon his re turning with them ; and upon his refusing to join them. one of them struck him in the back with a pickaxe and knocked him down, and he was then attacked in the breast and stamped upon, and died in a short time of the injury he received. Tilt, ,6ne of the Ushers of the Court, now informed the Magistrate that he had written to Messrs. Acker man and Co., of Bristol, whom the lad had named as his father's former employers, and their answer was a confirmation of that part of his statement, for they had A the time mentioned a man of the name of Clark in their employ, and living Temple-street, and they be lieved him to be the man from the the boy's description of him. . The Usher now, as arranged, went with the lad to the Marine Society, which he had expressed a wish to get admitted into ; but they were afraid there that he had the itch, and were unwilling to receive him in that state, but would receive him when cured. The poor boy said that what had been observed upon his hands was not the disease that had been named, but for months past he had been lying about destitute, and was last sheltered for a short time at St. Luke's work house, where they sent him to the stone-yard to break stones, which made his hands so sore that they assumed the appearance now alluded to. Mr. Coste, the relieving officer of Shoreditch, who was now present, said he would shelter the lad until he could go to the Marine Society. The poor fellow having received some refreshment by the Magistrate's direction and a trifle of money given to him by a gentleman in Court, went to the workhouse • for the present, and the Usher said the gentlemen of the [ Marine Society would certainly admit him in the course • of a week.

SEIZURE FOR CHURCH-RATES. —EXTRA ORDINARY PROCEEDINGS. —Yesterday a more than or dinary degree of excitement prevailed at the auction rooms of Mr. Lloyds, Hatfield-street, Stamford-street, from the circumstance of the sale of a copy of Matthew Henry's Bible, in 3 vols. ; Baptist Magaztne, 13 volt ; and Ridgley's Body of Divinity, 2 vols. ; which had been taken, under a warrant of distress, from the Rev. Mr. Francis, Baptist Minister of the Waterloo Chapel, Waterloo-road, for the non- payment of 16s. 6d. for two Church-rates. The proceedings were marked by the indignation of all present, and it was with difficulty that the sale proceeded, owing to the clamour and vitu peration raised. The sale would have, nevertheless, passed off with much less tranquillity, had it not been that the buyer in of the books was Mr. Fall, friend of the Reverend Gentleman's, and who attended the sale for that express purpose, by the request of Mr. Francis, who, though he refused the rate on principle, was un willing to lose the books. The three lots were knocked down for 2/. 18s., to Mr. Fall, HIGHGATE FOSSILS. There is a great variety of curious fossils still to be occasionally met with on the rising slopes near Holloway, which have been formed by the earth thrown up by the excavators up wards of 30 years ago, when the Highgate Tunnel was being formed. A very fine specimen of " echinus mari nus" (sea urchin) was a few days since picked up in a field contiguous to the archway, as also a fish very much resembling a sole, the head of which is very perfect. Mr. Snow, of Highgate, has in his possession a petrified fish, found in the brick-fields, which precisely resembles a mackerel, in which the gills are quite evident. On the left hand side of the road, just after leaving the archway, on the route to the Woodman Tavern, may be observed a narrow stratum of dusky earth, which abounds with cockles, muscles, pectines, and other fossil bivalves. Large quantities of iron ore, combined with sulphur, in the form of pyrites, are also to be detected in the above stratum. A very interesting cabinet of fossils might be still collected from this neighbourhood.
