MORNING SUN OFFICE OF THE CITY POLICE CMM\IISSH)NEK. Yesterday Mr. !1 rvey, the City Police Commis sioner, investigated a ease of public importanee as regards the conduct of the force, in consequence of having received die following letter : "TO DANIEL W. HARVEY, ESQ., COMMISSIONER OF THE CITY POLICE. " Old England Office, 172, Flee -street, " Monday, Oct. 18,1841. feel bound, in justice to my feelings, to lay the following ease, affecting as it does the character of the police force of the City of London, before you, as the Commissioner thereof, and to request from you an investigation. li-ving been this morning brought be fore the. Alderman presiding at Guildhall, on a charge of having been, on SAturday night last, "drunk and disorderly," made by policemen No. 315, at the sta tion-bouse, Black-horse-court, and having been acquit ted by the fore-mentioned Aldermen, after I had en dured an imprisonment of fifteen•hours, the said police men declared, in the bearing of two of my friends, that ' O'Brien (meaning the individual who now addresses you, Sir,) was a vagabond, and bad been convicted of drunkenness at the Worship-street police-office some time ago, and fined ten shillings.' This I declare to be a deliberate and malicious calumny on his part, and I . therefore respectfully, but firmly, demand an investigation, as I deem the po liceman capable of openly stating what I am prepred to prove a malicious falsehood, unfit to belong to the police force of the City of London. I further charge policeman 316 with having stated, in open Court, beforo the presiding Alderman, that ' I had been convicted at the Worship-street Police-office of drunkenness, and fined ten shillings, and that my conduct on that occ I mo had been b(asily.' This I also solemnly declare to be a deliberate and wanton falsehood, never hating en t'-red on any occasion, the police-office at Worship street, or any other police-office in London, until this morning, when I wes nia( l .e to aepe.ir et Guildhall. 1 now demand at your hands, Sir, in terms of the utmost respect, an inquiry into the conduct of these two po licemen, and into the truth or falsehood of their state meet, at your earliest possible convenience. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient, hum ble servant, " MICHAEL W.• O'BRIEN, M.A. Editor of the Old England Newspaper, and Member of Lincoln's Inn. Mr. Briggs, of Cheapside, stated, that after the case in which Mr. O'Brien was defendant had by en dismissed, he heard Burroughes (policeman 315) ray " O'Brien is a damned vagablnd, and was convicted of drunkenness at the Worship-street police (dee static time ago, and fined 101." Witness perfectly recellected the words, and mentioned what he hail heard to his friend Mr. O'Brien. Tue manner of Burroughes, the po liceman, was peculia'ly insulting on this occasisn. Wit ness also heard Brand (policeman, 316), sta`e to the Alderman that O'Brien had been convicted at the Worship -street police-office of drunkenness, and fined ten shilings, and that his conduct on that occasion had been most beastly. Another gentleman, who accompanied Mr. O'Brien to the Guildhall police-office, confirmed the statement of Mr. Briggs. Burroughes stated that Brand, who formerly belonged to the metropolitan force, vsured him that Mr. o'l37rea had been at Worship-street under the circumstances above-mentioned, and he considered that it was his duty to mention the matter in the office. Brand raid be really believed, when he saw Mr. O'Brien, that that gentleman had been fined at Wor ship-street six or seven years ago fir drunkenness. He Ras now, however, inclined to think that Mr. O'Brien was sot the person, for he had male inquiry at the office, and ascertained that the man's name was Morgan. Mr. Morgan appeared to him to be about 36 years of age. When he mentioned the circumstance to Bur roughes he said it confidentially, :red without wishing that it should be publiciy stated. Mr. Harvey—You say you are inclined to think you are mistaken ; arc you not con' inc,:!d that .you are mirtaken Brand—l am, Si?; but I was so coufilent at the time that Mr. O'Brien wa‘ Cie person I had seen at Worbnip.itreet, u.at if the Aldermen had put the book t we I do )1444 ve I would have swo-n it. Mr. O'Brien—There is not the slightest doubt of rhar. Mr. H trvey (to Brind)— Have you the ie tit doubt upon the subject now ? Bien,' --Not the I .ast. O'Brisa is not the person. Mr. Harvey—Have you any wit- ess to show that there was a striking resemblance b, twee° Mr. O'Brien and the peroa ou charged wth drunkenness at Wor ship -street. I au, convinced that Mr. Brand then called a metropcl . ten policeman, skho re cortcted perfecly well, according to his stat , _treilt, the occasion on which Mr. Morgan was brought before the Nlagistrice at Worship -street, and he recolketed the pkrsonal appearance of Mr. Morg an .vho did not re semble any person present. Mr. Harvey—Was the conduct of Morgan on that occasion such as to de3erve the epithet of •• b,astly ?" Metropolitan policeman— Cert:.ialy, it wa , . The language he used was such as I should not like to re peat here. After a very full investigation, Mr. Harve; addressed Mr. O'Brien. He regretted exceedingly the octu rrrice which had taken place. With respect to Brawl, it appe ircd to him that that officer in tne;.tioning to Burroughes that. Mr. O'Brien had been at Worship-site:A office, spoke his real opinion: btrani,e and extraordinary as the delusion wAs, and that be spoke tt too in the confidential manner in which policewc.n were in the habit of communicating with each other, and without meaning th it it should b) re peated. it wm, however, the duty of Brand the mo ment he found that he was mittaken, to , :ifr?r every re par,;tiz,n in his power by apology to the gentleman who had been insulted. Tne witness called by Brand rendered him no assistance whatever. On the contrary, be said that Morgan resembled nobody in th , .l rootu, and thus put out of the question the argument as to identity. Sull he (Mr. Harvey) did not consider that Brand acted under anything worse than an erroneous impulse, and he Jared say that Mr. O'Brien would be satisfied if that policeman begged his pardon. Brand here very submissively apologised to Mr. O'Brien. Mr. Harvey said. with re4peet to Burroughes, it lies entirely with you Mr. O'Brien, whether be remains with the force a day longer. I will feel it to be my duty, if you require it, to dischgrgo him immediately. But I think it necessary to staze that be stands well in our reports, and that a dismissal from the police is a very serious bar to a man's procuring a situation of any other kind. That we have good reasot, for kno.ing. Nothin g can justify such conduct as these gmletneu have described. Mr. O'Biet; said he forgave the man for tl.e oEnee personally to hinitall, but h e considered hions.ilf bound to add his solemn declaration that such a person was not fit to be in the City police force. Mr. Ha'vey then told Burroughes that he hail to thank Mr. O'Brien that he was not at once deprived of his situation, anti that it ever there, should be proved against him any charge, however slight, he shou:d f rom that morrieiA leave the force for ever. Mr. O'Brien tail that Burroughes had refused at the statioo-house to let him have a bit .21 paper upon which to communicate to his family where he was confined. Burroughei, who had appealed for mercy in the name of his wife and children to Mr. O'Brien, then mide the most humble request for forgiveness, and having 0 1 08 i /r ed it• from that gentleman's humanity, retired along with Brand, who was also ad v i se d to execcise grea t caution in the public discha rge o f hi s duties.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Fshe pretence altar Lille pretence is failing the organs of this Goverment." We trust that it may be jbund possible," said the Quarterly of last month, "to reduce these ruinous armaments." These ruinous armaments, It must not be forgotten, were the armaments made by the late Government, after lengthened Tory outcries that they were not made larger and sooner. Tuose armaments, so far as they have been called into action, have done their work •brid;antly beyond all previous example. How ever, they were ruinous so long as Whig ; and one of arose enormous tubs • to the whale, thrown out to upset the Whig Government, has been the hope held out that Peel and Wellington would throw s'ic'k tons of oil on the waters, that these ruin ous Whig armaments need no longer ride the deep. This outrageous bait was rear} , swallowed by those who were determined to be dupes; and we bad the Spectator gratulating in the following strain :—" Is a Tory Government going to begin the work of economy ? It looks like it. Colonel Peel plainly told his consti tuents at Huntingdon, that Lord Aberdeen is about to reduce the war expenditure which Lard Palmerston did so much to augment. Jossph Hume will turn Tory !" Tory economy, in the article of preparations for warlike c intiagencies, like. Tors Poor law Repeal, or Church Extension, turns out a false pretence. The party has risen to power by its scribes and speakers pro mising what its practical poli•ieians never meant to per form. And now the reckless organs, which promised all (hese things, are proclaiming their opposites! The row Government cannot dispense with the " Somerset House B ishavrs," the central tyranny, the " three Devil Kings" of Tor} -Chartist agitation. The new Go vernment cannot give us any more Church for Lye or money, and we are to go on subsidising " idolatry," and voting grants to Maynooth, as before. Finally, the new Government cannot re Ince our " ruinous armaments ;" on the contrary, the Times of this morning is all for increasing them ; and to obviate any possibility that 'their services may not be wanting, is cutting out fresh work for them by picking quarrels with all the world ; and anxiously peering into the future for prospects of national discords. The Times is daily occupied in in sulting precisely the two n a ti on s, with whom it is most desirable to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. We refer of course to France and America—each powerful, irritable, and high-spirited—each remarkably charac terised by national sensitiveness, and a degree of atten tion to the language he'd abroad respelling them. which John Bull's haughtier and more regardless temper can hardly understand. STAND A RD.—The Jeernal of the Le.ague, the dnti-liread tax Circular, affirms (we know not upon what aathorit,s) that, according to the census taken in June, the whet: population of the kingdom has incr wed 12 per cent. in 10 years, the manufacturing populafon 30 per cent., whle there has been a di minution of two-and a-half per cent. in the agri cultural population. This does not look as if agri culture has been thriving at the expense of manu factures. Tee statistics of the manufacturing dis tricts abundantly prave that •by natural increase they cannot sustain, much less increase in their population. How happens it then that the num ber of immigrants to the manufacturing districts has been so great, if manufactures have not prospered ? But it is not cmotely the augme ated number of labourers upon which we are to calculate in this case. Ma chinery, which is the substitute for human labour, has been augmenting and improving during the same 10 years, and to coroplsts the proof we are told that the manufacturers have realised as inuela wealth as is pos sessed by she whole of the landed aristocracy ; and yet we are told by the lecturers of the League, and the press of the League, that agriculture flourisbea while manu factures decay. Speaking of the League, let us take this opportunity of replying to a number of correspon deuts who have sent U 3 each a history of Acland's life and advertnres. We have nothing to do with such things : if a man conducts himself properly a journalist has no right to go into his early history—if he mis conduct. himself, an exposure of his prefel misconduct will always he sufficient to neutralise his powers of mischief: We defy the most diligent and expert of the historians of Neavgate to invent a biography for Arland which ought to place him lower than his con duct in reference to the Tanaworth address. COURIER.—The insurrection in Spain may now be considered as virtual!) , at an end, and so far is its ()rid' ca.eer from developing the exilteace of such an elealei,t of disquiet as a Cfiristino p - irty in Spain, its only fruit has teen to demonstrate by conclusive evidence that, whatcwr other parties may exist or may flourish, as after years of civil war it ;mil be idle to expect that party passions should at once subside, there is o trace of anything like the recognizable influence of a principle or a party in S 1 mu v,sponding to the pretensions or to the call of Maria Christina ex-R-put. It will have been observed t lot the real force of O'Donnell's daring enterprise in a desperate cause was composed of the refuse of Cartism—that is., not of the conscientious and consistent adherents of Carlos, but of such as deserted his banner and foreswore their allegiance by accept ance of tie convention of 13.rgara, and subscrip tion to conditions by which they were confirmed in rank to which thdr ft"ei were se qtvstionable, and secured in the pay and emolun,eqs corre sponding, which for th.! first time they then ca ne_ into tee re;ul ir receipt of. The only appa reat result of this rash undertaking of the very tew adherents who may be suspected of real attachment to the person of, or grateful remembrance of personal favours from, the ex-Queen R•gent, has been to recon, cile repubi.icaa di3i,ffection with the existing order of thing-, and to attach to the rule of Evartero, upon the intelligil,le principle of self-preservation, a faction not numerous or very influential in Spain, but still for midable enough in momints of cri-is from its energy and activity. We observe that Brigadier Francisco Valdez, one of the understood chiefs of this republican band, has been elevated to the rank of Major-General, in recumpence doubtless of tried fidelity and good ser vice during the recent outbreak in Madrid. We may lament over the execution of a gallant soldier like Diego Leon, but we are not prepared to say that-it was not absolutely dalled for, as a necessary but terrible example at a time when loyalty in some departments of the rnili tary service was known to be wavering, and defection in others had been openly manifested. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FRoM TUE MORNING PAPERS OF PEST EADAY. HERALD.— A Morning Contemporary has remarked upon some irregular transactions in the market about Exchequer Bills, and the exorbitant rates at which, in some instances, money has been charged for advances upon them. For instance, whilst five per cent. was the current rate of the market on approved securities, seven per cent. was known to be given or exacted in some in stances on Exchequer Bills. It is not necessary now to explain the mystery of this sort of dealing, about which nobody doubts there is something incorrect, and in re gard to the Exchequer Bills something extremely sus picious also. Something of an authentic character must transpire shortly about the matter, which will then be made public in course. At present there is no occasion to make public the rumours in circulation, of which more is known than it is now necessary to make men tion of. CHRONICLE.—An operation of a mysterious cha racter in the Exchequer Bill Market, alluded to by a morning contemporary, has attracted attention on the Stock Exchange. It is difficult to account for the inoe tires which could induce a real holder of these securities to borrow on them at rates of interest so high as 6 and 7 per cent., and make it a condition with the lenders that the identical Bills should be returned. It is sur nosed by some that the heavy sales of Spanish Stock for money made to-day may have been connected with this ' singular affair, on which we decline at present to give any positive opinion. We do not believe that Lord Aberdeen received jie deputation from the Committee of South Ame rican Bondholders because the Chairman, Mr. Ito oiiison, is a leading City monopolist, nor that he re ,used,,,,, .or at least delayed, to grant audience to the L' or nie fr mittee of . Spanish Bondholders from any traits fetter, corrrs trade principles he may have 'discovered in their repot-tretnee with the Foreign-office. In the third published by the Committee, however, there is a . mi d the 10th June last, to the Spanish Minister t . la i ance, by ItAer congratulatino. o , ffie.:.-, from which r English bondholder': w expresses his eon would be developed under by retrenchment reform, very important remarks the Chairman of die Committee, in which, his Excellency on hie promotion to as confident the condition of the confident belief be improved, Mr. Thornton "mi.: , I let?r, makes lief that the resources of Spain the government of the Regent policy. lie also,, inthe and an enlightened commercial the issue of the question now lature of my own country respecti ng Perling It is not fur me to prejudge the following before the Legis the duty on foreign grain, but I may be allowed to state our Excellency my own (minion that the time has ari e is t e o j p ai e e r i i n e t d a b e ted when our present ,andl look for we sh(aellremote when, / 3 - e: a te r :ti d -i l • v i w i t i l e g tn re n a o t t p he !e c i n 6 u e e r lt e L t t o w.- : in return for our manufactures, quantities of wheat from Spain." Mr. Thornton large ad ,iecee good reasons for expecting this r ecip rocity of !ienctits to both countries by a repeal of the laws. Re sta`es in pat ticular that - the production of Co rn-laws. the Peninsula since 1803 had increased one hund''redeaftolidn, and that, instead of being importers as formerly ' , th e y now exported wheat to the value of more than 500 mil iions of reals. It is possible that Lord Aberdeen may have found traces of these free - trade principles in the archives of the Foreign-office. It is also perfectly true that Mr. Robinson, the Chairman of the Committee of South American Bondholders, is an active and influen tial monopolist. It is also true that his Lordship re ceived a deputation headed by Mr. 'Robinson, while he overlooked or refused a previous application from the Spanish Committee, made several weeks ago. All this is clear as sun-light, and leaves his Lordship's impar tiality open to strong suspicion. There is, indeed, only one distinct and proper way to remove the doubt, and that is by immediately naming a day (if he has not already done so) to receive a deputation of the Spanish Committee. Lord Palmerston was always accessible to the gentlemen who repreeented the bondholders of the various non - Payia - k States, and In - ; Dever fitiled to attend to their point, Lt. was, Perhaps, etatementi.and wishes. If he erred at. all in re•tao approach,_, ; ; their l .._ _p .L r0 .. t...,.ch e ,. - rhat, however, is an error (if error in being too open to it ivas) wh ic h l ee i t iz r e ~- seems to avoid The j „ , . . ,es.or resolved "' " P t" 1.192 Q i foreign bonfilioldf2r3 from tho City of "'r: ~,~ r ~. : ~Ti~ Y:'. ~'' London appear to be in as bad odour at the Foreign office as are those of the starving manufacturers from the provinces at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury. ADVER l'lEß.—The growing trade of Russia has frequently attracted observation, and the quantity and value of the merchandise brought forward at the recent fair of Nischny Novogorod, is a convincing proof of this. Among the items we may notice 300,000 poods of iron, all sold, 36,000 poods of copper, 40,000 chests of teas, nearly all of which found buyers, though at lower prices than last year, when the supplies were expected to be stopped ; 3,000 casks of sugar, and 1,300 chests of indigo. Of Russian silk and half silk fabrics. for seven millions of roubles, assignats were sold ; of cotton goods, for 30 millions ; of woollen, for eleven millions ; -and of cloth, fur six millions of roubles. Cotton yarn, red dyed, 11,000 poods ; linen 15,000 ; arschines about 12,000 yards ; fur manufactures for six millions of roubles ; brandy, 25,000 wedrus, or about 68,000 gallons ; and red and white wine, 150,000 wedros, or 408,000 gallons, with a good sale for all. Iron was rather flat. The total amount of the Russian goods at this year's fair was 35,159,685 roubles, against 29,922,493 roubles, at the fair in 1840. The supplies of goods from Europe, not manufactured in Russia, were for 2.019321 roubles in 1840 ; and for 2,036,407 roubles in 1841. This year the value of woollen fabrics from Europe was 195,700, of cotton and yarn 309,200, of linen 149,800, of silk 198,000, and of wines 922,000 roubles. A com parison with the figures given in the earlier part of our statement, will show how large a proportion of the ma nufactures must have been domestic. TIMES.—The announcement of yesterday respecting certain new and suspicious - appearances in the Exche quer Bill market has drawn an anxious degree of atten tion to the subject in all the higher monetary circles. Few additional facts as yet have transpired, but it may be mentioned that the practice of raising surreptitious loans at high rates of interest on the deposit of Exche quer Bills is now stated to have been going on for two or three years, and perhapsmore. It has•also transpired, which tends still more to throw suspicion on the origin of th 'se operations, that when attempts to borrow of the regular money-dealers have proved unsuccessful, the parties have been driven into private channels, as if anxiously seeking for all persons who have money at disposal, a fact which has come out on the infor mation of the parties themselves, and who have ap plied to their bankers for advice, whether there would be any impropriety in lending their money at 6 per cent. It appears, also, that the advice given in such cases was to have nothin whatever to do with it. There appears little doubt that the conductors of these operations have become somewhat alarmed at the public notice taken of the subject ; that they have done nothing with Exche quer Bills to-day, and are supposed to hare shifted their ground, since some large sales of Spanish Stock which have taken place to-day are very much suspected to be only another mode of raising money by the same parties. Though this is the only information at present to be ob tained in the Cit.) on the subject, it can hardly happen but that• some further discoveries must shortly be made, as most of the large money-dealers will now have a very quick observation upon every thing that is passing. Several of the shareholders of the United States Bank in this country are of opinion that they should take ad vantage of the presence here of Mr. Jaudon, and call a meeting to request • him to - assign a sufficient cause for the depreciation of their prbperty, at the same time en deavouring to learn the real position of the bank, and the value of the assets compared with its liabilities. At such a meeting they consider Mr. Jaudon would be bound to attend. That a meeting should be called has been an opinion among several of the shareholders since, the time when they found their property disposed of without the slightest regatd to ,their interests, but there has always been a degree of lukewarmness, or, rather, perhaps an unwillingness to acknowledge themselves the dupes of such a swindling institution, added to a doubt whether much good could result, that has prevented the desire from being carried into effect. Now there is really a definite purpose, and an opportunity which may not again return, it is not improbable that a meeting may be called. BIRMINGHAM C H FiRC H RATE CONTEST. FINAL CLOSE OF THE POLL.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. mANsioN-H OUSE. Alderman RIRIE (the Lord Mayor elect) stated to the Lord Mayor that he had received 501. from a lady of rank to be • disposed of for the service of a poor lad named Chesterton, who was forced in a gale of wind into a fire in the cabouse of a ship in which he was cabin boy, and burned dreadfully in the face. The lady had sent a gentleman to him (Alderman Pirie) to request that he would make inquiry of the Mayor of Cirencester, where the poor disfigured boy was known; and he ac cordingly communicated the circumstances to that gen tleman, whose letter did great credit to the heart arid. understanding of the writer. He thought it right to state that if it had not been for the humane publication of the frightful injuries this -unfortunate lad sustained, such noble interposition would not have been made. The lady had read the affecting and unobtrusive appeal in one of the newspapers. The followink was the letter of the Mayor of Cirencester:— " SIR—I have the pleasure to inform you, that my wife has at length succeeded in obtaining a very desirable master for the poor lad, Chesterton, for whom you have so humanely interested yourself. The person who has hitherto employed him will have no further occasion for his services after to-morrow, and my wife has been there fore unremitting in her inquiries. The proposed master is a boot and shoemaker, in a considerable way of busi ness, of the name of Legg. He is a near neighbour. Both he and his wife have been known to us from their childhood. They are most resp:'ctable, worthy, and religious people, and it will be the lad's fault if he does not receive from them almost parental care. My wife apprehended the disfigured appesranca of the youth, and his other peculiar circumstances, would have been an ob jection to his being taken into the bonne; but the master presses having him under his entire superintendence, and will take him on a trial. The terms he requires are premium 2C-I, and a guarantee for clothes being pro vided for the apprentice, during the term, which, as he is now sixteen, will be for five years, or 201 in addi tion, and the master will provide clothinglto that amount, and produce vouchers for the expenditure. "^Should this arrangement meet the approbation of yourself and the excellent lady whose kind and bounti ful intentions towards the pour lad have been communi cated by you, it may be immediately carried into effect. The only advance to be . required at present will be fur providing a few clothes fur him, that he may enter on the usual trial, the sequel of which,it is hoped, will induce his kind patrons to do for him what may be fur ther required of them. " I cannot refrain from remarking that the interference in the behalf of this poor youth was more than ordinarily Providential. He has long been ,one of the _objects of my wife's care and solicitude, and the extraordinary time of the present- interposition in his favour seems to lead to the hope that he is still a child of a peculiar pro vidence. It is rather singular that your letter should have been addressed to one whose wife had been previ ously most interested fiur the lad, and that the operation upon him at St. Bartholomew's HOspital should have taken place in the presence of her brother, Mr. Law rence, the surgeon. I have the honour tube, Sir, "Your most obedient humble servant, " Oct. 19, 1841. "GEORGE BFVIR " . Alderman•Pirie then banded to the Lord Mayor a note which he had received from the benevolent patroness of the disfigured boy. It w•as, he stated, the lady's wish that her name should not appear before tke public, and he felt great difficulty in complying with the roquest to conceal it. The following is a copy of her Ladyship's note : " The Dowager Lady presents her compliments to the Lord Mayor elect, and begs to return him many thanks fOr his obliging note, and still more obliging offer of being her almoner for the benefit of the poor lad Chesterton, which she accepts with gratitude, and has the pleasure of inclosing a note for 501, which she thinks, from the statement in the Mayor of Cirencester's very interesting letter, will answer all demands for pre mium, clothes, and present outfit, to enable him to enter upon his trial without delay. " The Dowager Lady has not taken a copy of the letter she returns, but she would very much like to have cue, if the Lord Mayor elect has no objection and will indulge her. Lady - cannot close her note with out repeating her thanks for all the trouble the Lord Mayor elect has taken on her account. In fact, without his assistance, she does not know how she could have accomplished her object. " October 21, 1841." Mr. nobler handed over to the Lord Mayor elect two sovereigns, which had been transmitted to him for the service of the boy, who, it may be recollected, upon calling at the Mansion-house to return thanks for the care and skill bestowed upon him in the Hospital, where the surgeons actually wade a face fur him, expressed him self in terms of earnest gratitude. The LORD MAYOR said, that in his Mayoralty he had witnessed in - intense good done by the Press in every poS sible way. GUILDHALL. THE SUICIDES AT BLACKFRIAILS-BRIDGE.—AD in teresting-looking young female was brought up on a charge of attempted self-destruction at Blackfriars bridge, when Mr. Alderman LAINSON said this system must be put a stop to, and in future lie was determined to use the severest penalties the law allowed in such cases. A diminutive and odd-looking man, named Griffiths, was charged with violently assaulting his wife, and en deavouring to stab her. The police stated that on hearing cries ofmurder proceed big from the prisoner's house, in Plumtree-court, Holborn, they proceeded there, and found him kneeling over his wife, who was lying on the floor, almoq in a state of nudity, and flourishing a large shoemaker's knife, with which he said he would have her life, and there was little doubt but for the timely interference lie would have severely, or perhaps fatally injured her. • The wife went on her knees before the Alderman, and saying she was as much to blame as the prisoner, im plored that he might not be punished. Mr. Alderman LAINSON said he should at - least order him to enter into his own recognizances to keep the peace, after which he might be discharged. MARLBORO UG H-STREET. Henry Painter, a young man of respectable appear unce, was charged with stealing various sums of money from his employers, Messrs. Stagg and Mantle, of Lei cester-square, silk mercers, drapers, &c. It appeared that the prisoner had been in Messrs. Stagg and Mantle's employ, as a shopman, for between three and four months past, and no suspicion was entertained of his being dishonest until Wednesday last, when .his em ployers received private information that he was in the practice of robing them to a very considerable extent daily; and, in consequence, on Thursday morning a watch was set on the prisoner's conduct, and during the day he was distinctly seen three times to secrete monies which he had received from the customers, and which it was his duty to, immediately on his receiving them, hand over to the cashier. The actual amount of Messrs. Stagg and Mantle's loss cannot be ascertained. Thu prisoner strongly protested his innocence. He was remanded, in order to procure the attendance of the cashier. BOW-STREET Mr. Chinks Franklin, landlord of the Feathers in Great Wild-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, appeared yester day before Mr. Jardine, to answer the complai n t o f th e police for having, on he 13th instant, unlawfully and knowingly permitted and suffered persons of notoriously bad character to assemble and meet together in his house. Ma Wire, Solicitor to the Protection Society, apr reared for the defendant. Constable Bagnell, at F division, stated that he went. to the defendant's house about six o'clock on the evening of the day in question for the purpose of executing a warrant upon a man named Perryman for having com mitted an assault on a policeman, and on entering the back parlour, he saw him in company with twenty others, among whom were three convicted thieves, and four persons who were in the habit of associating with thieves. The other persons in the room appeared to be hardworking people, and having taken the man into custody, he was conveyed to the station-house with the as sistance of constable Thompson, who held him by the arm. Cross-examined—H e .could tell, the names of the con victed thieves who were standing before the bar, but he never saw th em b e f ore i n the house, although he was in the habit of going into it for the last nine weeks, and there was no noise or obstruction offered to him in the execution of his duty. Joseph Thompson', 39 F, swore that there were se veral persons in the room, but lie did not know who they were, his attention being drawn to the man he had the warrant against. The man had been a great many times in custody for assaults and smashing. Mr. JARDINE said he would -save Mr. Wire the trouble of entering more fully into the matter. There was no doubt that persons of bad character were in the defendant's house on the day in question, but that was not er.ough, for it should be proved that the landlord was cognizant of the fact to warrant him in ordering a conviction, and under such circumstances he was entitled to have the summons dismissed. It would be far dif ferent if the persons in the house were prostitutes, as they could easily be distinguished in a variety of ways from other females, but it would be going too far to come to the conclusiOn that the landlord ought to know thieves as well as the police. The case was then dismissed. Yesterday William 'ode, L A E TR- STRE E T. the owner and driver of a Stratford omnib us, No. 2,073, appeared before Mr. Nor ton to answer to a charge of being abusive and using im proper language to a respectable female. Mrs. Wade, the wife of a gun-maker residing in Cham ber-street, Whitechapd, s tated that on Monday week she took a plac e in the defendant's omnibus in White chapel, the conductor assuring - her she should be taken to the house of her friend in Lrpton-place, about half a mile beyond Stratford. On arriving at the Swan Inn_at Stratford haven, the conductor told her they were going no further that way, and That, therefore, she must come out. She .refuse} to do so until she was taken, of l& to the house of her friend, and reminded the conductor promise to take her th ere , lie (the conductor) said he THE SUN. LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, IH4I had nothing to do with that, and repeated .he must get nut. She again refused, upon which the defendant got from his box and insisted upon her getting out, as he was going no farther ; and - on her remonstrating with him, and telling hint the promise made by the conductor, he said he had - nothing to do with it, and commenced jeering her, and again insisted on her getting out. She told him she was very lame, and having a large parcel to take, it would be the greatest possible inconvenience for her to walk the journey to her friend's home, and hoped he - would therefore take her as far as the R :mid-house, which would be half-way on her journey. This he re fused to do, and after first driving one way and then the other, and jeering her all the time, he with an oath, said he would bring her back to town, and she would have a double fare to pay. Finding that he was driving to wards London, she put out her right hand, which had been partially paralysed for some months, for the pur pose of opening- the door and getting out., upon which the defendant • gave her a sharp kick with his foot, and gave her considerable pain. She then requested to be let out'of the vehicle, but the defendant refused to do so, unless she paid him, tenpence for her fare, and kept her a prisoner in the vehicle for several minutes, until she paid him the money. In defence he said his license did • not justify him in going to Upton-place, and therefore if he did so he would be liable to heavy penalties. Mr. NowroF told him that if even this was the case, he, on finding that his servant had misled the com plainant, should not have charged her anything. His condnct was highly improper, and he convicted him in the penalty of 40s. and costs. George Cook and John Taylor, the former a confiden tial servant in the employment of Mr. White, a corn chandter in Red Lion-street, and the latter a horse keeper to Mr. Levy, a Stratford stage-coach proprietor, were brought up fir final examination. From the evidence adduced, it appeared that both the prisoners had carried on a most extensive, and to their employers a ruinous system of plunder, and had conveyed large quantities of corn from the premises of their mas ters, which adjoin each other.—They were fully commit ted to take their trial at the ensuing Old Bailey Sessions.

THE DARKNESS ON TILE METROPOLITAN ROA DS.—ACCIDENTS.—On Wednesday evening, owing to the dense darkness -on the metropolitan roads west ward of London, from the discontinuance of the has •lamps, two accidents occurred at Kensington, which had nigh been attended with serious, if not fatal conse quences. The first occurred about a quarter befimre nine o'clock, when Haynais TWickenham omnibus, No. 2,689, came into collision, between the turnpike and the en trance to Kensington Palace, with a cart belonging toWilliam , Hodgson, of Grosvenor-mews, Bond -street, by which the shafts of the cart were broken, and Mr. Hodg •ion thrown out, and so much injured as to be obliged to be carried to the Goat public-ho Use close by, where he still remains. The second accident occurred soon after wards' near the wall of Holland park, where another omnibusznd cart came into violent collision, but, fortu nately, neither wire seriously injured. Yesterday morning,shortly after two o'clock, a re spectably- dressed man, apparently abotit 40 years of age, threw himself into the Thames, from the middle archon the east side of Blackfriars-bridge.

Dr. Chalmers was in early life welt known in a widecircle of friends for his ready wit and waggish. ness of disposition. While at college, he and two students of his acquaintance, in their frolic, had incurred the resentment of the landlord of the tavern which they were in the habit of frequenting ; and, thinking that he was unnecessarily rude in the expression of his feelings, they resolved upon paying back the compliment in their own peculiar style of practical joking. Meeting ac cording to appointment at a late hour one night, the youthful trio repaired to the premises of the tavern keeper, whose name and business was glaringly displayed on a costly and richly painted board above the door. This they found ways and means to remove with considerable despatch, but not with out being heard by the landlord as tisey hurried away with their gaudy prize. Suspecting some mischief; he soon discovered his loss, and, procuring the assis tance of a policeman or two, set out in pursuit of the depredators. Having had the start of him, however, they gained their lodgings in triumpl , with the sign -board, but had scarcely time to bolt the door when the tavern keeper and his assistants were at hand. Sundry loud knocks, and a demand for admission, were sternly made ; but, failing to ejicit any answer, the party threatened to procure a warrant to search for the sign. Meantime the students, becoming alarmed, began to split up the board, with the view of having it consumed in the fire before the return of their pursuers with the warrant. Despite of all their despatch, ho sever, they had. not been able to complete the work of demolition when the party arrived. Tee perplexity of the youth.. ful trio was excessive ; still the fertile genius of the fu ture Doctor was equal to the emergency. He and his companions began to sing psalms, as if the family were at worship—confident that the respect entertained for such devotional service would be effectual in pro curing for them the delay which they so much required. The psalmody over, and while his companions were busily engaged in giving the board piecemeal to the fl.tmes, the Doctor opened the sacred volume, and read and dilated on the following passage from the 12th chapter of Matthew—" An evil and an adulterous generation seeking after a sign, and there shall be no sign given not) it." —Glasgow paper.
