The Corporation has effected Life Assu rances for a p eriod of more than 123 years, its first policy having been issued on:the 7th of June, 1721. ,The extent of its business and connexions, the security afforded by its large capital, its long standing, its advantages to Assurors,:and the liberality of its transactions, strongly recommend it to the public. Two-thirds of the gross profits are awarded to the assured, and the expenses of managing the Life Department are not, as is usual, taken from the premium fund, but are defrayed by the Corporation out of their one-third share of the profits, thus giving to the As sured all the advantages of Mutual Assurance, without liability of partnership, and the security of an ancient and opulent Cor poration. Its tables have been formed on the lowest scale, to meat the varied 'views of Assurers, by affor ling to them tile option of the following several advantages I—Firstly, of participating ill the profits of the Corporation by abatements from annual preraisms ; or, secondrr, by making additions to the sums assured by way of bonus payable at death; or, tWrdly, by a money payment at the division of profits in ev ery fifth veer, whilst from those who desire to Hull their assu aness to a given sum without participation in profits, the lowest Possible rate of premium is required, as will be evinced by tables ex- P:eisly prepared for the Corporation, which may be had on applica- Nri at their offices, and which have been constructed for meeting the various wants of Assurers, and every risk to which protection by assurance can be extended. The bonuses made to Assurers have at some of the period) of di vision been upwards of 50 per cent., and for three of the lowest Years the average bonus has been equal to from 24{, to 23 per cent., or from 3 to 3Y, per cent. per annum on the sum assured, varying Wording to the age of the life.

The Directors of the Legal an d Commercial Fire Assurance Society "eg leave to call the attention of the public, and of Warehousemen and others occupying large premises in particular, to circulars re cently issued by the combined Assurance Companies, announcing their intention to reduce the rates of Insurance hitherto charged on Warehouses and other large buildings. The Directors of the Legal and Commercial Assurance Society Cannot forbear congratulating the public on this early result of their operations, for the course now adopted by the combined offices is to be mainly attributed to the success of the Legal and Commercial Society founded en the principle of charging fair rates only, and, therefore, honoured with a larger degree of support by the public than they could have possibly calculated upon. The reductions thus enforced from the combined offices will, of course, have tho effect of approximating their rates to those charged by this office, and conclusively establish the soundness of the princi ples, and the fairness of tho practice, adopted by the Legal and Com mercial Assurance Society from its commencement. The Directors of the Legal and Commercial Firs Assurance So ciety, in thus announ 'Mg to the public this successful result of their operations, trust to the continuance of that large patronage which they have hitherto received, and which will form the only security to the public against a renewed attempt, on the part of the combina tion, again to raise unduly the rates charged upon important classes of risks LEGAL and COM 3 SURANCE SOCIETY, DTREC' ltontague Chambers, Esq., Q.O henry C.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, fec. liarriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the t ell, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source' In every instance disclosed, in how malty could It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, hecomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury A the co ns tit u tional and vital powers. The particu l ar excesses , on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, , are Productive of greater severity of misery to the kurnal frame, , any ether to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of the relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly re quires the closest attentien and stud y , for what subject can ... ve Of more import an ce than the preservation of the health Z,f-I of the physical capabilities of which every man should Possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy v ictim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired 4 1 : early life or from the f ollies of advanced age, while suffering Prone their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so f requently, but erroneously entertained that those complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his s ee ki ng _or assistance where alone it can be p rocured. In ac ting thus, he fors that accurate discriminatio n in ascertainin g the c auses of d ls ease, sympathy with the sufferer , and, above all, secrecy, Inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medi ca l man who can show by hi e possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

" Heavitree, Exeter, April 24, 1844. " Sta,—l feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli cited testimony to the excellence of your Frampton's Pill of Health,' which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very sucerior ge neral medicine. The widow of an oftl!er, an elderly lady, and near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having re course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think many th , t, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the patent medi cines before the public of equal value as a ' friend in need ;' certainly none possessed of superior claims. I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my indiv.dual recommendation; and am, Sir, . Your obedient servant, ~ • i • *.,, Sold by T. Front, 229, Strand, London. Price Is.

It A E. ;VI One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a ,znse of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em .:;ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea )f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an :amprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, yid broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness yid social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or ?,eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

DOR."—The popular author of " Whitefriars," has jus produced a novel illustrating a period in our history rt marltab!e for the chivalrous character of its incidents —the reign of Henry the Fifth. Under the title of Owen Tudor," he has put forth a lively and interest ing picture of that grand and romantic era in which the victory of Agincourt forms one of the brightest chapters in English history. The talent which the writer has shown in his previous works is the best guarantee of his sum ss in this new attempt, and all who admire the his torical novel may be sure of meeting with both enter tainment and instruction in the pages of " Owen Tudor." —Evening Paper. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—On the last voyage home of the royal mail-steamer Teviot a miraculous escape from sudden death occurred. On the 13th of January, says our informant, it was blowing great guns, as the sailors say—that is, half a hurricane; in fact, as bard at times as it can blow in the Atlantic Ocean, about the southern edge of the Gulf Stream, when it was thought prudent to close reef the foretopsail and reef the foresail. The hands were turned up for the purpose, and as the exertions of every one on such an occasion are necessary, a smart young officer (Mr. Woolcot) amongst the rest jumped up aloft to what is considered aboard ship the post of honour, viz., the weather-earing of the foresail. In the process of reefing the sail and in hauling out the ear i ng , by some unfortunate circumstance in his anxiety to get it done quickly, he did not haul the first turn tight, and after taking the second, and taking a good pull on it, the first rended suddenly, and losing his . balance he fell o ver th e y ar d. By the greatest mercy he, in his fall, caught, or rather kept hold of the earing, and was suspended by it a b ou t nine feet from the yard arm. His situation at this moment was most perilous, being 20 feet outside the ship and 60 feet from the deck. He felt his hands giving way from the weight of his body, but managed to g e t h o ld o f th e ear i n g with his teeth. In this situation, between life and death, he was suspended for at least three minutes. The cry of " a man overboard" echoed through the ship, and in a second every soul was on deck to save the life of a fellow-beihg, if possible. The sight was horrifying; our shipmate for two years was, to all earthly appearance, gone for ever. An attempt was made by the man next him to give him the end of a rope, but the . was too strong,. it was bl o wn away to leeward from him. The cries of horror and despair from the whole crew (100 men) at this mo ment can be more easily imagined than deieribed. The commander's orders to make a running bowling knot round the earing were drownel altogether by the cry of horror from the crew. At this moment, his teeth giving way, and his hand paralysed, he let go his hold, and as the ship lurched heavily to leeward fell on the forecastle. The carpenter, to whom much credit is due, with great presence of mind, jumped forward as his feet touched the desk, and caught bite in his arms. For all this only his uncle bone was broken, and he is now, we are happy to hear, doing well.—Hants Independent.

And knowing 'tie one that the fair will discuss, I've ventured to give it. The story runs thus:— The SiaintshiP, whose season is now near at hand, Made a call (other day at St. Martin's-le•Gratii ; And every one knew whom it was, by-the-bye, On account of the wink and the leer of his eye. St. Valentine's dress v , as remarkably smart, And the buttons that decked it were stamped with a heart. On reaching the principal Post-office pile, St. Valentine entered its doors with a smile, And thus he inquired as a servant drew near, " If you please is the Marquis of Clanricarde here ?" " Yes he is," said the page, as he stared very hard, " If so," said St. Valentine, "take him my card." The card and the Clanricarde very soon met, And the Marquis's stare I shall never forget. " You'll conduct him this way," said his Lordship to John, An back came the man with the livery on. I need not describe how the gentlemen met, 'You're aware that they both understand etiquette. " I've called, my Lord Marquis, and pardon me, pray, C ticerning yourself and St. Valentine's day. Such thousands of love-letters then will be written, By ladies and gentlemen all over Britain, That a hundred new hands I am sure will be needed, In order that business may not be impeded. Your Lordship must know (said the match-ma',ing one), That the increase is owing to MOSES and SON. I need not 'worm you that love's tender passion Is often awakened by matters of fashion ; Many thousands of ladies feel love's warming fire Through first of all noticing STYLISH ATTIRE. Yes, many a lady I've proved has been won By the form•decking raiment of MOSES and SON: For instance, I knew a Miss Dorothy Dote, Who first learned to love on account of a coat ; The fit was so true, and the style was so smart, That the fair lost her heart through MOSES' famed Mart. I knew a case even stranger than that, Where Patty the pretty was won by A HAT. 'Twas MOSES and SON'S, and the Hat was so natty, So stylish and good, that it overcame Patty ; Insomuch as the pretty one oftentimes said That the owner, she knew, had a sensible head. THE BOOTS MADE BY MOSES, Which fit so exact, Like loadstones, are oftentimes known to attract. And many strange things I have known come to pass, With a L o:,d-loo . ting boot and a good-looking lass. With regard to the opposite sex 'tis the same, Ladies' dress very often enkindles the flame. MOSES' FURS, so attractive in style to beholders, Warm gentlemet's bosoms as well as fair shoulders. Many thousands 011 both titles are constantly smitten, And galores of epistles are now being writ en." " I'm aware," said his Lordslii), " that much has been done In matters of love by E. MOSES and SON. And, Sir, I will carry out all that you say, With regard to more hands on St. Valentine's Day." Here Saint Valentine bowed, as he bid his adieu, And so did the rostsnaster-General, too.

TUCKER V. CHAPLIN AND ANOTHER. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. H. Hill appeared for the plaintiff, and Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Willes for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action was Sophia Tucker, the widow and administratrix of George Tucker, deceased, and the defendants were Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, the well-known carders. The action was brought under Lord Campbell's Act (9th and 10th Victoria, c. 93), to recover compensation in damages for an injury sustained by the deceased, in consequence of the defendants neg lecting to supply and use proper and suitable hooks and tickle connected with a crane upon their wharf, in Thames-street. It appeared by the evidence given by the plaintiff's witnesses, that the deceased had been for seve ral years in the employ of Mr. Hurson, of No. 120, Great Portland-street, Oxford street, and on the 21st of March, 1648, he was sent with several crates of earthenware to Hambro'-wharf, Thames-street, in order that the goods might be thence conveyed by the defendants to the station of the Brighton Railway. On arriving at the defendant's wharf, the deceased took his cart near to the crane, in order to have the crates removed into the defendants' waggon. One of the defendants' servants attached one, and the deceased the other hook of the chain to the crate. The machine was then set in mo tion, and as soon as the crate rose above the cart, it swung round several times, in consequence, as one of the witnesses said, of the chain being twisted. The de fendants servant, seeing the deceased under the crate, called out to him twice to stand frem under, but this warning not being heeded, the crate in swinging round, slipped from one of the hooks, and falling upon the de ceased, crushed his foot. The deceased was then taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where it was thought neces sary to amputate the foot. This was done, but the unfortunate man died a few days afterwards of delirium tremens, brought on by the injuries which he had sustained, and the operation which those inju ries rendered necessary. The plaintiff called one of the defendants' servants, and also another who had formerly been in their employ, and they stated that hundreds of thousands of loads, including crates, had been raised by the hooks and chain in question, without any accident occurring. On the other hand, the other witnesses said that the hooks were unsafe, as they were not curved enough to take a sufficient gripe of the crate, the bars of which were round, though they might be quite safe for raising casks or timber. Sir F. TMESIGER addressed the jury for the defend ants, and said they would not be liable if the jury believed the evidence, that the deceased by his own negligence contributed to the accident. The Learned Counsel con tended that as the hooks in question had been used so long in raising all kinds of goods, and had been continued by the defendants up to the present time without any accident occurring, except that now under investigation, it could not be supposed that the hooks were unsafe for the purpose for which they had been used. Lord DENMAN having summed up the evidence, The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with 1001. damages, in consequence, as they alleged, of the ineffi ciency of the tackle. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL begged to state that this course had at all times been the practice with all coro ners throughout England. A person came forward and made a statement without any Question being put to him; he stated as much as he liked, when it was a statement made not on oath; but where a party was made a wit ness, then he was sworn, and what he stated was on oath, and he was then bound to answer every question which might be put to him. In the one case it was a statement made by a man who said just as much as he pleased, and niure; in the other, where he was sworn he was corn felled, if the questions were put to him, to answer and state everything. The LORD CHIEF BARON said, that before a rnagis• trate, fur instance, the accused party was permitted to say what be might think necessary in his own defence. Before a coroner, however, there was no charge—it was a court of inquiry to obtain evidence with the view of ascertaining - a certain fact or facts. A person, therefore, who felt that he could snake a valuable communication, or throw any light upon the matter of inquiry, ought to be permitted to give his evidence on oath, and no feeling of tenderness towards any individual should be allowed to interfere. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that it had always been the opinion of all the coroners in England that the practice they had adopted in this respect was correct. But, for himself, he had no hesitation, however, in sav ing that the practice was wrong—it was not right. The Loan CHIEF BARON—This might be done by the coroner in such a case—he might caution the person if he thought what he was stating was of a character which would be likely to criminate him. But if a coroner permitted any person to make any statement before him, it must be upon oath. The practice which it seemed had been adopted by the coroners in this respect was decidedly wrong, and he hoped would not be acted upon in future. Dr. Warren, in examination, here said that the co roner in this instance had refused to hear him upon oath, because his statement might tend to criminate him self. He intimated to the coroner that he would give him all the information he could in reference to the matter. Mr. Horatio Day, the medical gentleman who had made the first post-mortem examination by order of the jury, and also assisted Mr. Wilson, said, his opinion as to the cause of death was at variance with the opinion of the last-named gentleman. Other witnesses having been examined, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied. The LORD CHIEF BARON then summed up. The jury retired at five minutes past six o'clock, and on their return into court at half-past six delivered a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages, 3501. The announcement of the verdict was followed by clapping of bands. BROWN V. LORD ALBERT CONYNGFIAM. Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Corrie appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bramwell for the defendant. The defendant in this action (Lord Albert Conyng ham) had been the chairman of the managing committee of the Ennis and Galway Grand Junction Railway Com pany, and the action was brought to recover the sum of 370/. for taking the traffic on a portion of the pro posed line. A person named Fynn, who said ho was called to the Irish bar in the year 1835, was produced as a witness by the plaintiff, and swore that the defendant had joined the company in October, 1845, and, having paid the de posits upon his shares, acted as chairman about that period. On cross-examination, the witness said he was the registered promoter of the line, and had acted as se cretary. He also stated, that some years since he had been appointed Chief Justice of Tobago, but had not gone out to assume the duties of his office. He (the witness) had sent over to Ireland the deed in which were entered the names of many persons as having paid up their subscriptions who had not in fact done so, and among the rest wero bis own name and that of his wife. The witness also said he had issued a pro spectus, with the names of several persons as having paid their subscriptions who had not done so. He had been in prison in Paris, but was released along with 250 other persons on the day after Louis Philippe was obliged to fly from his capital. He had not been offered a sum of money as an inducement to give such evidence as would fix the defendant with liability in the present action, nor had a promise of more money been made if the plaintiff should obtain a verdict. A letter was then put in and read, which purported to come from the office of the plaintiff's attorney, ad dressed to the witness, and his handwriting upon it showed that he heti received it, containing an offer to the witness of 20/, to cpme over and give evidence for the plaintiff, with a pratnise of more money if the plaintiff should obtain a verdict. Lord DENMAN expressed his condemnation of this letter in very stromr. language. Sir F. 1 IiESIGER said he hoped to prove the plaintiff's case by other evidence than that of this witness. The witness said, the money was merely to enable him to come from France, and that he did not under stand it as an offer of money to give evidence of any particular sort. The money was not sent, and he was afterwards arrested in Paris, but on his return to this country he was subpoenaed. lie had offered to go out of the country if a sum of money were given him, and if he had done so, the plaintiff could not have proved the defendant's liability. The plaintiff then called several other witnesses in support of his case. Mr. Sergeant SREE, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said that the evidence of the principal witness was not to be believed, and the plaintiff's case had there fore entirely failed. Lord DENMAN, in summing up the evidence to the jury, again censured very strongly the writing of such a letter as that which had been read, and said that every witness ought to come into the witness-box free from every influence of fear, favour, or affection, and prepared to speak the truth, and that only. The jury then returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 14. Sittings at Nisi Prius, in Middlesex, after Hilary Term, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) WAKLEY, M.P., V. HEALEY AND COOKE. This case for a third time came before the jury this morning, and, as on the two previous days, the court was again crowded almost to suffocation. After the examination of a reporter of the name of Potter, who proved that the report of the proceedings of the inquest was a correct one, a mass of documentary evidence was read. In this evidence were contained the statements of Dr. Hall and Dr. Reid, both of whom are abroad, the latter at the Mauritius. Both of these gen tlemen gave it as their deliberate opinion, having made the first post•mortent examination of the body, that the death had been caused, without any reference at all to the punishment of flogging, solely by the inflammation of the heart and pleura. Dr. Reid's statement also ex pressed an opinion that he had been very coarsely, rudely, and unfairly treated by the Coroner when he had been present at the inquest. Dr. Warren was then called, and underwent a very long examination. In the course of his statement ho complained that the Coroner had not examined him. He had been 33 years in the service, and for many years in the 7th Hussars. Ho had seen es many as 200 men flogged in his time, and the flogging of White had been conducted in the usual manner, and he did not during its progress remark anyeindication by the condition of the man that ho was unable to bear or suffer the punish• mont. The man was taken to the hospital after the flogging was over, and there he had attended him. The witness went on to state the progress of the healing of the back, and then said that on a particular day he had reported that the man would be fit for duty. On that day, however, he complained of a pain about the left side; for this he treated him, but the illness became worse, and at length the man died. It was not until after the death that he had heard of the man's visit to the dead-house. That is a very damp cold place, and, in his opinion, the pain of which the man bad com plained, and the subsequent inflammation which had re sulted in his death, had been caused by the sudden check which his system must have received by going into that room. He had heard the opinions which had been given by Mr. Erasmus Wilson as to the cause of the man's death, but from those opinions he entirely dissented. He did nut agree with that gentleman. He was not aware of any orders having been given to the deceased man to go to the dead-house. This was about three weeks after the punishment had been inflicted, and the man was then considered to be perfectly well. There were many backs which healed more rapidly than others. This man's back healed very kindly. His death fol lowed the complaint in about five or six days. When he found the man was getting worse he wrote to Sir J. APGregor for further advice, and the result was the at tendance of Dr. Hall and Dr. Reid. The witness again complained that he had not been allowed to give any statement on oath at the inquest, and added that the Coroner had declined to take his examination on oath, as he said it might turn out that he had been himself cri • minated in the transaction, but be did permit him to make a statement not on oath. The LORD CHIEF BARON then remarked that it ap peared to be the practice of coroners to adopt that course of proceeding. Now, he was of opinion, and he believed he might add that the rest of the Court were of the same opinion, that there ought to be no such prac tice in the case of any person who might come before a coroner and offer to make a statement. The coroner should hear the statement on oath, and if it turned out not to be relevant he should then reje ct it, whilst, on the other hand, if it proved to be important as applicable to the subject of the inquiry, then in that case the state ment would be, in common w ith the other testimony, placed under the consideratio n of the jury. Put the coroner had no right to receive any statement which was not given on oath ; or if he did so , such statement would be just as much evidence to criminate the party making it as though the statement had been made on oath, because it mi g ht be used on the trial as evidence L against the individual. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. James Jennings and James Jarman were brought before the Lord Mayor. Policeman 419 stated, that at half-past one o'clock on Tuesday, he heard in Bread-street a woman scream out, and found upon inquiry that a girl had just been car ried into Mr. Brown's warehouse with her leg broken. He was informed that a bale of goods had been thrown off a waggon upon her, and soon afterwards she was carried to Guy's Hospital, when the surgeon found that her leg had been broken, and gave witness a certificate to that effect. The warehouseman of Mr. Brown, of 29, Bread street, stated that the defendants had been delivering some goods from a waggon, and Jarman said to Jen nings, " All right," and Jennings, who was at the wag gon, threw a bale of stuff muslins on to the pavement. The girl was passing on quickly at the time, and in a stooping position, and the bale, it was believed, caught her leg as she passed. Jarman called out, and held out his arm to keep back a person who was passing at the time, and the girl, probably, got under his arm, and was thus subjected to the dangerous accident. Jarman said, the whole account given of the business was correct. He was pushing back a man, and the little girl passed under his arm and was struck with the bale. The LORD DIA.YOII said, ho had frequently observed that very little caution was used by persons employed to unload goods. He had not, however, discovered that there was any culpable negligence attributable to the defendants, whom he would, therefore, allow to put in bail to the amount of 204 each, to secure their attend ance in a week. GUILDHALL. Patrick and Catherine Burrows, with six children, were placed at the bar on the charge of begging at a late hour the previous evening in Farringdon-street. A few days back an application was made to the sit- ' ting magistrate by Patrick Burrows for relief, and he was referred to the union, upon which he became most abusive outside the court for some time, threat cuing that he would break the windows ; but being watched closely he eventually departed, thclaring that as he could neither get relief from the workhouse nor from the magistrate he would break some one's window for the purpose of getting into prison, or resort to the alternative of begging to efft-ct that object. flow he has lived since was not mentioned; but he, with his wife and family of six children, were found in Farringdon.street, between eleven nod twelve o'clock, walking about to excite the sympathy of those who might be passing by. They were conveyed to the station-house, when the inspector ordered the officer to convey the five children (the other being at the breast) to the West London Union. The officer did so, but the porter refused admitting them, at the same time telling him that as they belonged to Gray's Inn-lane, he had better take them to the workhouse there. In conse quence of this refusal he returned with them to the station-house, and they were locked up in one of the cells all night. On the woman was found 6id., with a bag, a saucepan, a spoon; and on the male prisoner a cigar -case, five duplicates, and two tobacco-boxes. Alderman CHALLIS asked if they were known, and was informed by an officer of the City of London Union that the prisoner had been a most troublesome customer. He had received relief over and over again, and they had offered to pass him and his family to Ireland, but he refused to go back. Alderman CHALLIS said, however bad the father and mother might be, nothing could justify the refusal of the officer to admit the children, particularly when they were brought there by an officer. He should, therefore, order a summons for him to attend at once. The summons was immediately made out, and shortly after Robert Turlo, the porter, appeared. Police•constable 313 deposed to taking the children to the West London Union about twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, when the defendant refused to admit them, and desired him to take them to Gray's Inn lane. Alderman CHALLIS—Did you tell him that you had their father and mother in custody? Officer—l did. Alderman CHALLIS—WeII, Mr: Turle, what have you to say for such conduct ? Turle—l certainly told the officer to take them away to Gray's Inn-lane, as thqy did not belong to our union. Besides, the father has been a constant annoyance to us, and has been repeatedly relieved. Alderman CHALLlS—Officer, where did 3 ou find them? Police-constable—lu Farringdon-street. Alderman CHALLIS said, he could not understand why the defendant should refuse to take the children in at such an hour of the night, more particularly when taken by an officer, who informed him that their parents were in custody. He had clearly 'violated the rules and regu lations issued by the Poor-law Commissioners respecting cases of urgent necessity, and rendered himself liable to a penalty of 201., but, thinking he had acted ander a misconception he should only tine him 10s. in this in stance. If the refusal to admit urgent cases was re peated, the next find would be 51. The man was sentenced to one month's hard labour, the woman to fourteen days' imprisonment, and the children were directed to be taken to the union. There were no less than twelve more Irish 'vagrants, who were sentenced to terms of imprisonment varying from seven days to one month. BOW-STREET. The two begging-letter imposters, who, passing as man and wife, in the names of Thompson, Henderson, Heppell, Johnson, Mother, &c., have carried on an ex tensive business for several years past, were placed at the bar before Mr. Henry for further examination. The officers of the Mendicity Society were in attend ance to prosecute, with ample presumptive evidence to convict the prisoners in at least twenty cases; but in the absence of the illustrious and noble personages to whom the letters written by the prisoners had been ad dressed, with more or less success, it did not appear that the Court was in a much better position to proceed with the investigation than when the cue was remanded. Mr. Taylor, of the Royal Household, was present, but no further steps were taken with respect to , the beg ging-letters signed " Elizabeth Henderson, ar?ci dressed to the Queen, the application havingfailed its principal object, although not altogether uLpr.roduc tive to the male prisoner, who, on recei Tay lor's unfavourable reply, in . the nameeof‘wilie.tge.r iMtaajleasrtgye, availed himself of the official envelope, la to effect another " privy purse " seal and autograph , as possible, the hand imposition, by imitati ng, as t f , a „ note to cheque forwriting and signature of gentleman, with i i t n h purport ing to come from . that genenveloPe in question, and by 101.," and inclosed In the e e and the envelope to a lady, forwarding . the forgedaPpenal to her benevolence, and a re. together with an quest that the inclosures might be returned, ho suc ceeded in obtaini n g a sovereign from that quarter. on produc Dowager,ed, anc Captain Bedfo rd, almoner doefsetheti Queen proved that two l etters of the , rip " Richard Heppell, had been addressed t o h er sDlgajeesty a short time . since. Mr. llENriv inquired there were any cases in which the a pplicants had obtained money? Th e cler k of t h e M en dicity Society said there Were several, but the par ties could not attend, excepting in one case with which they were ready to proceed. Mr. Cutlibt,rt Ellison, of Whitehall-gardens, proved that he had received l etters from " Margaret M at h er within the past fortnight. The writer alleged that she was suffering extreme distress from the ill-treatment of her hu• band and the loss of a child which she had no means of burying; and she also stated that two of her brothers work e d i n one of h i s ( w i tn ess's) quarries. A letter from Lady Walsh= to the applicant was enclosed in the first communication received by him, showing that she had b een ass i s t e d by her Ladyship; and, before witness had replied to it, he received the second letter 1 40111 the spore WINIMD, who repeated her ts.le of diStIC3I and requested him to return Lady Wahhaniss letter, which he did, with a Post-office order for 10s. In De cember last witness sent the same woman 11., in reply to a similar appeal. The various begging letters produced appeared to witness to be in the same style and hand writing as those forwarded to him, which he had de stroyed. Proof was given that_the Post-office orders .had been paid to the prisoners. The male prisoner said the Magistrate need not trou ble to inquire into this case. Ile admitted that his wile did write the letters to Mr. Ellison, and did receive the money from him; but that gentleman had been induced to relieve his wife by Lady Walsham's letter, and by the fact that two of his brothers were in his service, nei ther of which could be called a " false pretence." Mr. llENnr—But the letter represented that she had lost a child, and was unable to bury it. The prisoner said he did not write the letter, and could not be supposed to know what was in it. Lady Walaham knew his wife, and the letter was a legitimate One. llorsford, a mendicity constable, said that the wo man litd admitted to him that she never had a child in her life. Mr. HENRY considered that the charge was fully made oat against both the prisoners in the present case. Ilis worship inquired it the prisoners bad been previously convicted? Mr. Ferguson, clerk to the society, stated that they had, but the convictions had not been returned. A long conversation then ensued between the megis trate and the mendicity officers relative to the treatment of these cases. His Worship thought they ought to be taken to the sessions, as he had no power to inflict mere than three months' imp iconment, which w as no effec tual check to the system; but the obstacles to such a course seemed to be considerable. In the first place, the Mendicity Society had no funds to defray the expenses of prosecution; secondly, the benevolent individuals who had been cheated of their money would not come forward to prosecute; and thirdly, when they did pro secute, the prisoners were almost invariably let off with three months' imprisonment —a result which would have been secured by a summary conviction, without any of the trouble or expense incurred by the parties concerned. Mr. HENRY regretted that such offenders could not be punished more severely. His only course, under the circumstances, was to sentence the prisoners to three months' imprisonment ; but he strongly recommended the society to take the subject under their consideration. Afrer the removal of the prisoners his worship inti mated that a charge of forgery, at common law, might be substantiated against the male prisoner, if satisfac tory proof could be give n of his having forwarded the letter, purporting to bear the signature of Mr. Taylor, to the lady from whom the sovereign was obtained. John Hebditch, charged with feloniously entering the warehouse of his late employers, Messrs. Shoolbred and Co., drapers, &c.. of Tottenham•court-road, and steal ing upward of 50/. was fully committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. A tall muscular fellow, named James Blackett, who was recognised by the police as having been before re peatedly in custody for various offences, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with burglariously breaking into the premises of Mr. Robert Barnes, a tradesman in Spitalfields. The prosecutor's son stated, that having been left alone in the premises on Sunday night last, he carefully secured all the fastenings and retired to rest, but between one and two o'clock the next morning he was alarmed by a smothered noise in the sitting room below his bed room, and upon hastening on to the landing he saw a man's arm thrust through a glass door at the foot of the stairs, from which one of the panes had just been cut out, endeavouring to draw back the bolt which held the door inside. The man had a lighted candle in his hand, which threw a strong refection on his face, and after no ticing him sufficiently to render a mistake in his iden tity impossible, ho ran to one of the foot windows and called loudly for assistance; but before it arrived the burglar had effected his escape, and upon ex amining the premises he found that an entrance had been gained by breaking through a skylight over the kitchen, the iron bars of which had been so wrenched out of their fastenings as to be capable of admitting a man's body. The burglar had then made his way into the shop, the tills and drawers of which he had ransacked, and after subjecting the furniture of the parlour to a similar process, was endeavouring to force access to the upper part of the house when he was dis turbed in his operations, leaving behind him in the yard a fustian jacket, in one of the pockets of which were a cap and silver spoon, the latter of which had been left the night before on the sitting-room table. Police-constable 152 II stated, that hearing cries of •` Police!" and " Thieves!" from the last witness, who told him that the house bad been broken into, he ran round to the rear of the premises just in time to ses a man vault over the back wall in his shirt sleeves and without a hat, and dart down an adjoining turning; he pursued him through several courts and streets for more than a quarter of a mile, when he unfortunately struck his foot with such violence against a pile of paving stones as to severely injure his ancle, and while inca pable of moving from pain the thief availed himself of the accident to get away; but he twice turned round in the course of his flight, and the second time, being close to a gas-lamp, he had a full view of his countenance, and could positively swear to the prisoner's identity. Sergeant Wakefield stated, that having before had the prisoner in charge for felony, he felt satisfied, from the description, the first witness.had given of the burglar, that the prisoner was the same man, and having succeeded in tracing him to a low coffee-house at Whitechapel, at three o'clock that morning, where he found him in the company of a number of thieves and desperate characters, he took him into custody. The prisoner altogether disowned the fustian jacket produced by the police, and stoutly denied all know ledge of the robbery ; but he was positively sworn to both by the prosecutor and constable who had pursued him, the former stating, that upon his being brought to his house that morning he had instantly identified him ; and Mr. IiAmmILL, considering the case clearly esta blished, ordered him to be committed till that day week for the depositions of the witnesses to be taken against him.

London ; supplied l o writh a ticket and placed in short ort train to be. ta k en out to the T station.. This, it appears, wa s Jack's first trip b y • which he expressed very freely,rall, and his notions, were rather strange, especially about the engine but scarce had it proce u e e de t ing along the land." when the engine - dri ver " a great sea serpent creep draihnaltaarytedtointheduTe course. staton was . startled by a bail, and, looking behind, discovered Jack on the roof of one of the carriages, pipe in band, shouting Ship alloy ! vast h eav i ng there ! I've not been used to skulk in the hold—give us a light !" It turned out that feeling himself alone without a pipe, he had got through the window of the carriage and climbed on " deck," as ho called it. The engine -driver seeing the poor fellow's perilous situation, stopped the train, and he was asked to return to the interior, but Jack refused, saying it was " lubberly," and still importuned for a light. He was then told that if he did not the pol•ce would make him; upon which he dis charged a volley of sarcastic epithets, such only as sailors can invent, against the " green caterpillar tellers," as we once heard some sailors style the railway servants, and then entered the carriage with au air of resignation becoming a martyr to a hard fate. CURIOUS ERRATUIC—The editor of a country paper, speaking of the people of France, says, in • beautiful fulminating leader—" When the Provisional Government promised the labouring classes that they should never again want either work or high wages, them asses actually believed it." We thought this rather strong, and a little ungrammatical, when the next week's paper contained the following:—" Erratum.—For them asses,' in our last, read ' the masses. " However, there is a deal of coarse truth wrapt up in a bid bad gram mar sometimes. For ourselves, we deeicjiedly prefer them asses."—Punch.
