SPIRIT OF T. (From the Times of this day.) •, , A successful ovation may mean a great deal, and it 1 may mean nothing at all. It would be unwise to build 1 rnuch upon what, after all, is the voice of a multitude, 1 proverbially fickle. So we shall not describe what Lon-' don has witnessed this week in words of the same gravity I that we should give, for example, to the pacification of Europe. But, on the other hand, there can be no occa sion for any writer to deny the fact as if it were worth denying. In plain matter of fact, the reception given by the people of London to the French Emperor and Empress is not a mere repetition of that given to Louis Philippe. Whatever the feeling, or the pretence of feel ing, or the absence of feeling that may be alleged, no body with the use of his eyes can dispute that the metro polis has greeted Napoleon 111. and his Consort with an enthusiasm bordering on extravagance. Our fellow cifzens gathered from the suburbs, selected some point on the various r_mtes taken by the Imperial visitors, and stood patiently for hours just to catch a glimpse of the man who has restored order and prosperity to France, become our Ally, and entered heartily with us into the arduous task of keeping Russia within bounds. They wished to ,ee the man who has done this, so to speak, wit his own hand,—the man who actually governs a °Teat nation by no mean- , easy to be governed. They wished also to tee the lady whom they somehow rea-ar,l with a romantic interest, as one who owes her elevation, not merely to birth or the advantage of for tune, hut her beau ty, goodness. and wit. Mere R o y a l alliances were never P opular in this country, and about the greatest crime a Mi iister could commit in the eyes of the people would be a Royal marriage in which the heart was put out of the question. Napol.on ill, de rives more real greatness from his union with the object of his affection than if he had married a daughter of the house of Austria on the isith of a portrait or a diplomatic report. These may, perhaps, be thought no very suffi cient reasons for a grand ovation ; and the Londoners may be set down as a crowd of gaping spectacle-hunters, ready to go anywhere to look at an Emperor, and joist now in crowds, simply because this week is positively the last as well as the first of the exhibition. Be it so. Let the thing be as vulgar as it may, nevertheless the fact remains that the spectacle of this week is not a mere repeti:ion of that of 1845. The scene at the Royal Italian Opera last night speaks for the feeling of those who can afford to pa y a hundred guineas for a bo x , or ten, and eve,' 'fifteen g ui neas, for a stall ticket. N o one can deny that something more than curiosity p rompted many of that numer ous but very select body of spectators. It was something more than the kn ow l e d ge th at they saw before them what England and France had wished in vain to see for five se veral centuries, The British people may or may not be under a mistake or a delusion, but they certainly saw in that group a picture of amity and friendly union that may List as long as the previous reign of jealousy and distrust. Every street through which the friendly caval cade passed yesterday to the city, and afterwards to Covent-garden, was hung with the national flags of the Allies, so as to form a vista not unlike that in Henry the Seventh's or St. George's Chapel. The same story was told by the illuminations last night, and, though it may be urged that people always like an opportunity of decorating and lighting np their houses, and that just I now there happens to be rather fewer opportunities than usual, we must beg to observe that we have never seen the like before on such an occasion, unless it were the very remarkable rejoicing at the visit of the three allied Sovereigns in 1814. But it is sot our present purpose to argue for any one particular significance to be given to congratulations which Heaven itself has countenanced with its smiles, and which may, perhaps, express a very superficial feeling, and a too transient blessing. We only think it bad philosophy, as well as had taste, to dis parage this brilliant recepti n as a matter of course, and a " vain repetition." This is simply not the fact. (From tlie Morning Herald of Vas day.) The enthusiasm manifested towards the Emperor and Empress of the French has hitherto experienced no dimi nution. Yesterday all the approaches which marked the Imperial visit to the city were crowded with throngs of earnest and expectant spectators. London had turned out for a holiday. A glimpse a-, the Empress who, whatever may he said to the contrary of John Bull's gallantry, constituted not the least interesting personage in the spectacle, was thought by thousands of our wea ther-beaten countrymen and countrywomen worth some few miles of rail ; some few hours of standing in the dry and dusty streets ; some few hundred thumps and shov ings, which fail to the lot of all thorough-paced sight seers in this empire. Her Majesty seemed to feel and understand this, for she made her frequent acknowledg ments with wonderful ease, affability, and good-nature. As the carriage rolled on which contained her and her Royal Consort, we could see her bowing her thanks to the sooty and dusty urchins who crowded the church yards in the line of road, or clustered on the lamp posts, highly delighted to be able to return home and pay they bad beheld her whose reputation has spread, fir beauty, grace, and kindliness far beyond th e limits of that em pire in the ru l e of which she has been associated. For n'neteen persons whose first query will be made in re ferenee to the Emperor, ninety and nine will have in quired about the E.npress. The good folks in Seven-dials and Drury.lane, utterly ignorant and careless of diplo macy, indifferent to our doings at Sebastopol, except so far as they would be glad to see " the Rooshians" well drubbed, were discussing con amore, in our own hear ing, the white chip bonnet and white feathers, which nodded and moved as they cleared their throats for an English hurrah, or pressed forward, regard less of carabiniers, policerneo, car, iages, anl carts. All this must be familiar enough to Napoleon 111. He has not passed so many years in this country as not to know oar national peculiarities. .H e io not tr. igno rant of the nature of Eigliehmen as not to be aware that our homage rendered to practical objects which mainly remind us of our own homes, and are connected with our homely feelings. Our own gracious Sovereign must come in for her share in this respect. She has made us understand and value the rule of a female e she has not merely continued but enlivened the traditional belief which has attached so much that is glorious in our annals with female Sovereigns. We like net un married kings or unmarried clergy. Even in our rulers we desire to see an image of that home and that house hold with which.so much is connected that concerns the honour, the safety, and the prosperity of this nation. It is the presence of the Empress on this occash , n which has brought out therentbusiasm of the population of this country ; and by making her a participator in this visit, Napoleon has not only shown his prudence and the knowledge he possesses of the national character, but bee put himself- before the crowd in the only light in which they could, or cared to m Of Course we intend no disparagement to the Em peror himself or theebigher purport of his visit by these remarks. Iq a political point of view, and as a guarantee of amity between the two nations, that visit is of ines timable worth. It is a pledge for that peace by which not we only, but all Europe --it is not too much to say the whole world —mu s t be eventually benefited. But then these advantages are patent to men of thought and reflection. It is not for the wise or the politic that the benefits of this visit are intended. They had no doubts of the Emperor's intentions ; they had sufficient proof of his cordial support from circumstances not so obvious to the people. Their belief was not shaken by those ordi nary prejudices which find a facile receptacle in ordinary minds. But it is far different with the great masses of their uneducated countrymen. Could they believe that the ruler of the French nation, one bearing also tbe r ame of him whom their fathers regarded as the incarnation of all that was hostile and terrible to this country, could b© a warm friend to England ? Could they do otherwise than consider him as a Frenchman, as an enemy, as a man in all his interests, his feelings, and his sympathies totally different to themselves? It is in this light, then, that we regard the visit of the Empress as one of the most important consequences of this august presence. Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon 1., or any other personage who has taken hold of our imagination by the splendour of his victories, or the greatness of his name, comes near to ourselves, and loses something of the distant and the terrible, when lie is seen as a husband or a father, as being in his dearest relations exactly like ourselves. Napoleon 111. might have put out a great many manifestoes and proctols, he might have exhausted half the rhetoric of his very rhe torical nation, before be could have hoped to have pro duced half the impression which he has produced by bringing the E mpress amongst us. N or i s the fact that theherself Empress traces her de scen t to the sister • kingdom, and has been educated in England, without its effect. Let us hope that this is not the only instance of Stich visits. Let us hop e that the time has come wh en Sove reigns as well as th eir subjects may view each oth ers ' kingdoms without fear an d without suspicions.

THE SICK AND WOUNDED FUND. SCUTABT, APRIL s.—On the northern slope of the hill at Pere, overlooking the gardens of the British Ambas sador's palace, those gardens within which Lord Carlisle roamed at pleasure, and outside of which Commander Oldmixon chafed and fretted, stands, amid other decre pit Turkish houses, one assigned to our sick merchant seamen, and called, in right of that occupation, an hospital. If the term " hospital" should mean a place suited to the recovery of men from disease, this building has no real claim to the title, and I step a little aside from my proper field of action to notice another instance of neglect and another scene of wretchedness which has hitherto, amid grander evils, lain hidden and unproclaimed. This institution is under the charge of the English Consul, and is supported by a rate of ld. per ton levied upon all British merchant vessels which enter the port. Its ehief medical officer is the physician to the Einbaesy. Com plaints have at various times for many years past been made, some privately and some publicly, of its inefficiency, to use no stronger word, and there was a design on the pars of the Government to provide better accommoda tion ; but this design has only lately begun to bs car ried into effect, and the new hospital, which is to deserve the name, and of which Galete is the site, is only now so far in course of erection as that it may possibly come into use next autumn. Whit, in the iiiteritn, is the existing provision is now to be told. An old and rotten fabric is the external view. Within, the first object in the dead-home, and this, with the kitchen and the washhouse, or r ether washing shed, is the whole of the ground floor. When I saw it yester day, there were three corpses lying 'reedy for burial, one that of a poor fellow who died of Asiatic cholera in 17 hours from his seizure ; another a case of typhus. Above stairs, the first and second floors, each consisting of three or four roams opening one into another, were filled with sick ; they were then 46 in number, but there were others waiting fur admission. They were principally merchant sea men, but some of them had come from transports taken up by Government; many were boys, a few blacks and Maltese; one, a well-spoken elderly man, the steward of a trader. The diseases were various enough ; two men had gangrene of the feet subsequent upon typhus ; one had passed through the more fatal, but retained the minor symptoms of cholera. Several had fever of an uncertain type, many were suffering from severe and chronic sores, partially scrofulous, partially caused by wounds or ill treatment. Tnere was no separation of cases, and no possibility of separating them ; the apartments were all crowded, the beds often touch ing one another ; in one room; 12 feet by 15 feet, there were six patients, the only interval being in the centre. Time place was not censidered to be overfided; as they had once had 90 in it. How ever, apart from the impurity of atmosphere consequent upon crowding or intermixture of diseases, the whole building was poisoned by fetid and ammonnicel exhala tions ; constructed of wood, now dec eyed and moulder ing, it is impregnated from ha-ement to roof with noxious and sick en i ng o d ours. O f four cases of cholera two have died within the last few days. The resident authority is an Italian apothecary, who does pot speak English, or very little. The cook and the attendants are Turks. There is no area round the house, and the only open side is that towards the narrow street, over shadowed by the tress of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe's garden. Such is the British semen's hoSpital at Pere. Miserable as it is, and little likely to be re sorted to except from sheer necessite, its funds are now in arrear, owing to the adifitional pressure thrown upon it by the conflux of trailing and transport vessels to Constantinople. There was last quarter a deficiency of 2001., and there will be as large or a larger deficiency during the present one. Application has been made to the Admiralty to accept the invalided seamen of ' transport ships as a part of their natural charge, but, whatever decision may have been taken with respect to ,this point has Lot yet lab 1 effectually 'carried out ; for a sailor belonging to the 'Australian, one of the trans ports employed in conveying sick from Balakla,va, is one of the later inmates. As yet lam not prepared to say that the mere application of funds will ,avail to supply either better accommodation or- better at tendauce. There are difficulties in Turkey not to be overcome except by the exercise of power ; but I shall scarcely be thought to be exceeding my commission if a portion of the money subscribed should, in the absence of other imperative claims, be appropriated to the sea man in place of the soldier. It is a subject to which farther allusion shall be made, even if the endeavour to procure sonseiaileviation of the evil should proie un successful. The warmer days of spring, with their chill morn ings and evenings, and their heavy dews at night, bringing up from the soil whatever of rank and un wholesome miasma it contains, begin to distinguish locality front locality; and show where dangers lurk beneath the vivid tints of herbage and blossom. If mere beauty of scene and sunny glow ot pleasure -garden could stone by their cheering aspect for the presence of infection, the group of buildings aft Haider Pasha would appear a fair sojourn for an invalid.. The fruit trees are all in bloom around and ainotig the detached edifices, and the meadows which stretch between them and the sea is a carpet of golden flowers. But the nearer view is less inviting than the superficial one, and the breezes which play in courtyard and antechamber are oppressed with other pea fumes than those of flower and fruit blos som.

MANCHESTZR, April l9.—The market continues quite firm, and, as the orders placed during the last few weeks have been cons►derable in amount, and will find employ ment for many of the mills for some time forward, there is not much pressure to sell, either in cloth or yarn. The fabrics suited to the Eastern markets are not in much request, and rather easier to buy. Some of the American houses are doing ra.her more business., NOTTINGHAM, April 19.—There has been a further improvement in the lace trade this week. It is princi pally for the home market (the genial weather having operated favourably); the improvement is al -=o of a more healthy character than has latterly prevailed in this branch of the trade. The jobbing sales havin;.; ceased, what is now doing is in every respect in the legitimate way of business. Foreign orders come in tardily. The hosiery trade has th-cidediy improved: both home and American buyers acting with increased spirit ; the la hour market is consequently more active. The prices of silk materials have not rallied much from the lowest point which they reached a fortnight ago; nominal quo tations of is. 6d. per lb. have since then been mentioned. In hosiery common Materials, on the other hand, remain firm, with a good inquiry. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA.TTERSALL'S —YESTERDAY.

This was a pettion of Henry Newsham Pedder, of Preqon, hanker, praying that his marriage with Emma, i his wife, might be dissolved on at . ..count of adultery, Mr. Bovill (with whom was Mr. Archibald) appeared for the petitioner, and stated that he was married to Miss Emma Simpson, the natural daughter of a gentle man residing in Demerara, on 26th August, 1847. The lady was entitled under her father's will to a life interest in 6,0001. The acquaintance between Mr. Ped: der and Miss Simpson began in Liverpool, when she wag staying at the house of her guardian - , Mr. Shand, •a mer chant of that town ; and at the time of the marriage, which took place in the parish church of Nestor), in Cheshire, Mr. Pedder was twenty-four years old and the lady twenty-one. They lived happily together till Vie 4th July, 1853, and had one child, which died scon after its birth. In the spring of 1853, the 50th Regi ment was quartered at Pr..iston, and among the officers was Mr. John Clay Purves, an assistant-surgeon. He wss a visitor at Mr. Pedder's house, and took the oppor tunity of gaining the affections of his wife. On the 3{l July Mr. Porves and Mrs. Pedder were seen together in a car, which lid been previously seen waiting at the top of a lane. On this circumstance coming to the know'tdge of Mr. Pedder he remon s t ra ted with her, but she re ceived his remonstrance with great indignation, de clared it to be an insult to her, and stated her intention of lea.‘ing his house. Acc , rlingly on 4th July, 1853, she quitted Mr. Pedder's house, and went to her god mother's at Liverpool, where she stayed some time, and Mr. Pedder had no further intercourse with her except by letter. About the beginning of August, 1853, she left Liverpool, and about the 19th of that month she went to ,a village called Tamerton Folliott, near Ply mouth, at which place Mr. Purves's regiment was then quartered ; and it would be proved that he was in the habit of going there and sleeping every night, and al though he at first called himself her brother, and they had separate rooms, there was no doubt they slept to gether. On a certain night Colonel Martin, the governor ~t the gaol at Preston, who bad, at the request of Mr. Pedder, set inquiries on foot, accompanied by the super intendent of police at Plymouth, went to the cottage, and havinggone first to Mr. Purves s room, found it empty. They then knocked at Mrs. Pedder's door, which wa, :Toned by her, and she was immediately recognised, and Mr. Purves was then found under the bed. The parties had since gone abroad, and were seen lining .ogether as man and wife at Chaude-Fontaine, m{ar Lie4e, in Belgium, Mr. Purves having resigned his ap pointment as assistant-surgeon in the 50th Reginient An action for trim. con, was brought in October, 1853 ; judgment went by default, and damages were assessed {iy a court of inquiry at 2,0001., but Mr. Porves being without property and abroad, they had not been pain. fn Fehroary, 1854, a divorce a mensal et thoro was ob tained trom the Ecclesiastical Court. The following evidence was then produced : Major Knowles, formerly in the army, was acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Pedder. Served a copy of the bill an order of the house on Mrs. Pedder, in Florence, on the sth of April. He knew her personally for several years. Mr. Thomas, clerk in the office of the registrar cf the Enleii.istical Court, produced sentence of divorce there. Evide, ce of the' proceediege in the action at law was a!so produced. Richard Pedder, cousin of the petitioner, stated tha' Mr. Pedder was st banker at Preston. Witness was acquainted with Mrs. Pedder, ferrner:y Miss Simpson. 'Knew her when she resided at Liverpool, Was present at the marriage. After that Mr. Pedder lived a short way in the country far a little time, and then went to reside at the bank. They lived together happily. and had one child, which died soon after its birth. Kew them to live happily for three or four years, and saw no thing after that to lead him to suppose that there was any change in them. Thomas Dickson, surgeon at Preston, attended Mr. Pedder's family. Knew • the parties from the time of -their marriage intimately. They lived very affec tionately till July, 1853. In the latter part of June he was travelling across the country, and saw Mr. Pe.dder's servant . driving his carriage up and down before a lane. On seeing him he turned down the lane. 'Witness followed, and saw Mrs. Pedder and Mr. Purvis in the car, and driving away at a rapid rate. About a week afer, he told this to Mr. Pedder. Heard soon after that Mrs. Pedder had left home. He had seen Mr. Pedder at his cousin's previ ously, when he complained that Mr. Purves was too fre quently at his house, and witness then told him what he had seen. Witness had noticed Mr. Purves's frequent visits. There was levity generally in Mrs. Pedder's con duct, though 'not offensively so. Did not observe that she was iettmate with any other person ; but he had seen her walking with Mr. Purves—never with any other persc.n. Townley Rigby Knowles, barrister, was many years acquainted with Mr. Pedder. Had been-intimate with him since his marriage. Mr. Pedder resided at the bank in Pregon. Remembered the 50th Regiment coming to Preston in 1853, and it remained thero till it went to Chebham. Some men of the regiment were left behind, and Purves remained with the invalids. Had seen Mr. Purves frequently at Mr. Pedder'e. On one occasion he was alone with Mrs. Pedder. On 4th July, 1853, wit ness called at Mr. Pedder's bank. Mr. Pedder told him his wife was packing up to go away, and asked him to remonstrate with her. He did sib, but did not prevail on her to remain. She said there had been a quarrel, as her huAtyand ha 1 upbraided her about Mr. Purves impro perly and unjo-tly, and she would go. Knowing the influence Mrs. Pedder bad•over her husband he thought it better on the whole that she should go, believing that she would return. He was not aware of anything then beyond levity of demeanour, towards Mr. Purves espe cially, She left the house that afternoon. Mr. Pedder was extremely digressed. They always lived on affec tionate terms except once, when a quarrel took place about her intimaey with Mr. Purves. Witness was then called in as mediator. Mr. Pedder was the most affec tionate husband he ever knew. She geld she was going to her godmother, Mrs. Ward, at Liverpool. Rev. Stephen Wentworth—Hed known Mr. Pedder intimately slime his mare:Mee. He was always kind and &feet:oust& On one occasion witness thoeght Mrs. Pedder was acting imprudently, for on' going into lier eittinikoom he found the blinds down, and he asked to be allowed to draw thorn up, saying jocularly that darkness and ill-deeds go together. 11r. Purves, wham he had not seen I , ef then rose from a sofa near the door. He thought it very imprudent for a young !periled woman, and he said to Purves, " What are you dories here ?" arid to her, " Where is your husband ?” She was generally imprudent in admitting military men to visit her as she did, and witness once told tier so, and that People were talking of her. She said she did nothi ng wrong, and she cared not what people said. Her husheml was of course aware that those gentlemen visited the house. Witness did not speak to the husband about it. Mr. Pedder was almost too affectionate and kind. He did not re-train her as much as he should. She was very affectionate to him. Orders have been forwarded from the Horse Guards to various cavalry depots to hold in readiness for imme diate embarkation as many efficient mounted men as may be availasle, to reinforce the regiments serving in the Crimea. In the list, of appoint rents in The Sun of Tuesday, the name of Mr. J. R. Horniman, appointed Assistant- Clerk to • the Impregnable, was erroneously printed Horninan. Mrs. Ann Ha•nbly, wife of Wm. Ilambly, of Tamer ton Folliott, said she kept a cottage as a l o d ging -h ouse. In August, 1853, a gentleman came to take lodgings for a lady. He first gave the name of Pennant. She came the following Friday at half-past 10 at night. Next morning her servant said she thought they were a new married couple. The lady's name was given as Mr:. Paget. She afterwards found their real names were Purves and Pedder. Purves came there every evening for six weeks. Mrs. Pedder never left the house or gar den but once. Witness slept under the room of the lady, and could hear Mr. Purves come into her room every night. His bedding was removed to Mrs. Pedder's. Witness bad every reason to believe that both slept to gether from the first night they Game. The bed had the appearance of two persons having slept in it. William Thomas, inspector of police at Plymouth, said he received instructions from Colonel Martin, Governor of the gaol at Preston, to inquire about Mr. Purves, and he found him and Mrs. Pedder, and communicated with Colonel Martin, who came down to Plymouth in Octo ber, 1853. It was arranged with Mrs. Hambly that he and Colonel Martin should be admitted to the rooms oc cupied by the parties at 2 in the . morning. They first searbhed Mr. Purves's room ;no one wag there. Tney then knocked at Mrs. Pedder's dooi, and on going in found a female. Col. Martin was there. She screamed and said, "I asked John to come and sleep with me." Col. Martin called her by name. She was in her night dress. A gentleman was in the bed. He threw the clothes off, and *went under the bed, but was desired to come out. He was in his night-shirt, He was recog nised by Col. Martin as Mr. Purves. Witness went to Chaufle-Fontaine, in Belgium, to serve the citation and writ on the parties, and found Purves and Mrs. Pedder living together under the name of Paget. He served the writ and citation on them personally. They were in one room. Col. Martin, governor of the gaol at Preston, said he knew Mr. and M rs . P e dd er. Was requested' by Mr. Pedder to inquire whether Mr. Purves and Mrs. Fodder were at Tamerton Folliott. He went to Plymouth, and went with the superintendent of police to the house. On entering Mrs. Pedder's bedroom, he heard a noise of some one throwing himself under the bed. He saw both • Mr. Purves and Mrs. Pedder iu the room together in their night-clothes. EviOt.rce was then given of the non-payment of the damages in the action, and of Mrs. Pedoer's having a lie-interest in property to the amount of 6,000/. under her lather's will, and a contingent ititeie-4 on the death of her brother in a further f-um of 4,000/., and that shy was receiving the interest, it being paid to her at present ht Florence. The evidence was then ordered to be printed, and the further proceedings adjourned. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. SPEILMANN V. THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OF TETE BANK OF ENGLAND -ROBBERY OF BA NR NOTES.

Bank of England note, and on the same day he cashed another for the same amount with a money-changer named Monteaur, who paid over the note to_Meyer Speilmanii, who sent both of the notes to Ida brothts Adam, the plaintiff in this action, residing in London.

DI SCOVERY OF TEE B ODY OF A M ALE CHILD, 'wpm ITS HEAD CUT O FF , IN LINCOLN 's —YestenLy morning cons id erable sensation was created in the neigh bourbood cf Lincoln's-inn-fieldg, in consequence of the discovery of the body of a 'child with its head cut oft. It appears that as police-constable No. 30 F, and Ser jeant Gentry, No. 10 F, were proceeding on their beat,, they found a bundle on the step of _a door, tied tightly up in a cloth and black apron. On examining it they were horrified to find it contained the body of a male child in a bloody cloth. They conveyed it to St. Giles's workhouse, where M r. William B ennett, surgeon, Las cellei-place, w as i n immediate attendance, who found, on examination, th a t i t had been most brutally murdered by the head beie z cut from the body.

SOUTHWARK.—Percy Burt WA3 brought before Mr. A'Beckett for re-ex:Animation, charted with stealing, a gJlii watch and chain, the property of Euiily Devon port. Mr. Solomon again attended fur the prisoner, It appeared Irons the evidence given on Tuesday after noon that the pi n r was at the house of the prosecu trix on the tni..rning of the 19th of November, and per ceiving her gold watch and chain lying on the mantel. shelf, he took them ud and suspended the chain round. his neck, deposi:ing the watch in his waistcoat pocket. The prosucutrix reque,ted hint to hand them back to her, but he refused, promising to return them in half an hour. He then left the house with her, and proceeded to Windmill-str*t, Haymarket, when he ran away from her with the watch and ,chain, and she saw ntithii.g more of him and her property "until she met hill on Monday night last at the Holborn Casino, when she gave him into custody. When examined on Tuesday he stated himself to be a •clerk in the Bank of England, and acknowledged that he had taken away the watch and chain, but with the intention of returning them. He sent the constable to his mother, a lady resid ing at Dalston, who came to the court a short time after wards, and produced the watch, but not the chain. Mr. A'Beckett accordingly remanded the prisoner unit yes. terday, to give the officer an opportunity of making further inquiries. • Police-conmtable Wells—l omitted in my last examine tion to say when the prisoner was in my custody he said he had part of the property at tome ; that he had sent a friend with the watch to deliver it to the prosecutrix, and if he had not given it to her it was not his ftnit, but he wo-ild advertise for it. The female, however, told me be had pledged ir. I t iok the note froM the pri soner to his in , :tber, aod she came to the court and pro duced the watch to me. Emily D-vo Iport—Toe watch produced is mine, and the one the prisoner stole fr me. There ha 3 ►•eea a new glass fixed on it shine then. Seiornon —I pr , duce the chain. The pa- one'' , mother gave it to me. She fiund it in the pri , ontr'- bed-r,) , ,rn iinme iiately afar returning !ionic; last Tu-i - day, and she is ready to prove that. I Mere) , want to show that neither watch nor chain ever was out of my client's possession. Prosecutrix—His mother told me the watch wa: pledged for 2/. 83, Mr. Solomon . to pro-ecutrix—When you gave hin into custody, did he not say, Come to my lodgings, and have your prop,rty Prosecutrix--Yes ; but I did not know where he lived, or what he was. Ile did not day the wataa and chain were at home with his mother, but he said, " I dare say I can get them." I have no desire to prosecute. All I want is my property. If that's restored, if the ma gistrate will peewit, I will withdraw the charge. Mr. A'Beckett—l can h ave no thi ng to do with that. Mr. James Palmer, one of the ofE , := rent the BAnk of England, said that he had t-earched the Looks, aad among the 800 clerks employed by the directors, he could not find such a name a$ prisonet4. The prisoner was quite unknown to him. ....... The prisoner here, with some hesitation, said that he belonged to the National Provincial Bank of England, a statement which Mr. Solomon, in reply to a remark from Mr. A'Beckett, said he believed to be true. Mr. Solomon—l think there is nothing in the case to show that he took the property with intent to steal it, for when he sent to his mother it waa immediately brought here. Mi. A'Beckett—Not immediately. The prosecutm, in reply to Mr. A'Beckett, said that the prisoner had at times given her money, but she had not seen him from July to the day on which he stole her watch and chain. He had never lent her any money, nor had she ever allowed him to wear the watch before. Mr. A'Beckett—l should like to know where the watch has been. The prisoner's mother was then called, and on being sworn, said she took the watch out of pawn for 2/. 10s. Tim duplicate was upstairs in her son's bedrooni, and when she heard from hiar she went and redeemed it, and brought it to this court. The chain wa-; not pledged.. Mr. Solomon—l hope after what you have heard, sir, that you will see there was no guilty intention of stea!- ing the property, and that you will deal with the pri soner for illegally pawning, as such is the fact. Mr. A'Beckett, to the prisoner —It is very lamentable to see a young man of respectable connexions, and in a good social position, placed in such a degraded situa tion as you are, caused by forming bad condxions and c.mtracting bad habits. You have by this ant lirlught your tatnily and yourself to disgrac,, ti,:t I have any doubts as to whether you took the property with guilty intent of stealing it ; and as I think the jury would be, of the same opinion, and give you the benefit of that doubt, I will derd with the ca‘e. I think that aftery(m foolishly took the watch, you pledge:l it to eatisly your depraved habits, and I hope thi 4 will be a warniag to you for the future. I shad deal with y.O fur unlawfully pledging the watch, and fine 3 ,, ,u 51. fir that ofFenct, and, in default of payment, commit you to prison for one month. LAMBETH.--Yesterday Meg. Pocock, the widow of a sergeant of police, who had set ved for some years it, the P, or Camberweltdivisioe, and was universally re spected by his brother officers, but who had terminated his services as well as his existence in the Crimea, at tended before the Hon. G. 9. Norte!), in compliance with a rates-age sent to her by the magistrate. • It will be recollected that, owing to the defective state of the commissariat in the East in.the summer of last year, an a plicitiun was in.d e t o th e polio, fir a certa i n number of respectable and well-conduct, d sergeants to join the army, and act as ..torekeepers ; and several of the sergeants belonging t i the different divisions veins'. teered their services. Such was the enthusiasm of those who had se voluuteered, awl so great their cenfidence in the liberality ated consul ration of the Gevernment, that they never thought of making any terms as t their pre sent emoluments or future settlements, and the conse quence was that theuiseive-e their wives, and families, and earticwar'y the latter, were placed in a most pain ful 'situation. In IVlrs. Pocock's case her husband, as before stated, went away without making any particular arrangement as to her future support, believing, no doubt, that she would continue to receive his pay from Scotland-yard, and that therefore she could nut be inconvenienced in the means of provelirg fir herseif and his children. 01, making application to Siotland-yard, however, she was told that her husband had left the service of the police, and as he had ceased to be a member of that force he could no longer receive the pay as a constable. . She text applied to the Horse Guards, and finally to Sir Charles Trevelyan ; but in neither department had she received the slightest assistance, and in the depths of poverty she applied to Mr. Norton at thi s cour t f or some temporary as s i s t ance from the poor box. Her distress ing case at the time got before the public in the usual channels. On Wednesday Mr. Norton received a com munication, dated Balaklava, April 2, enclosing four teen sovereioms, and as its contents relaCed more particularly to her, the magistrate forwarded a message to her, requesting that she might attend at the court yesterday. She was accordingly, in attendance, when Mr. Norton real to her a communication received by him from Balaklava, by which it appeared that her case, and that of the widow of another assistant. storekeeper, named Elliott, formerly a sergeant in the K Division, had attracted the notice of the assistant-store keepers of the commissariat at Balaklava, twenty-one of whom had subscribed 141., which had been forwarded ti Mr. Norton, to be apportioned at his discretion for the relief of Mrs. Pocock and... Mrs. Elliott, and that of the widows and families of such other of their deceased com rades as might come under Mr. Norton's notice. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, Mrs. Pocock said that, since she bad been last to the court, she had received a letter from General Fader, which she took to the Patriotic Fund-office, and there it was kept. The gentlemen then agreed to allow her 10s. a -week for three months. Mr. Norton was glad to hear this, and remarked that he felt certain that the reason the public did nut respond, and subscribe iu her ease, which waa truly a distressing one, was solely from a feeling that, under the circuni starices, the Govenament should provide for her and her children. For his own (Mr. Norton's) part, he had no doubt whatever that the Governinent would do Horne. thing in her as well as in similar cases, particularly after the promise and dec , aritten of General Filder, Mrs. Poe ,ck expressed her grati!ude for the kind in terest his worship was taking in the matter, and for the substantial relief he had ou the fornLir occasion afrml e her ; and left the court. • INGENIOUS FORGERY:--A well-dressed man, wearing the ribbon of a foreign order at his butt inho/e, went a few days ago t the shop of M.
