the good .as often as correct the evil. We are not so unreasonable as to demand of a Statesman like Lord Brougham that 11?:'_should utter a political manual whenever he makes a speech like that at Salisbury ; but still we think on that occasion it would have been as well to have refrained from entering on the subject of the House of Lords, if he had not intended treat ing the question in a manner not liable to be misun derstood.—MornMg Chronicle. The discussion which took place at the Bank of England, on the late occasion of electing a Governor 'to that important Corporation, is, we trust, the fore runner of a most necessary improvement in the con stitution of the Court of Direction ; it shows that the proprietors are beginning to be sensible of the folly of so loosely electing their chief officers ; and, as there are a great many shrewd and clever men amongst the body of proprietors, we only wonder that they should have slumbered over the careless and irresponsible wanner in which these elections have for so long a time been carried on. It is true that the instances of failure in the persons of the Governors of the Bank of England are very rare, and we trust we shall not have to record the like occurrence any more. But the cf- feet that such announcement :night have abroad, or upon the minds of the ignorant and the vulgar at home, is quite sufficient to render it imperative upon the pro prietors in future to be more rigid in their mode of appointing persons to situations of such high respon sibility. But, independent of this, there is another reason why insolvent and speculating men should be prevented from holding either the ace of Director, or the more important posts of Governor and Deputy- Governor of the first monetary corporation in the world ; and we have resumed our notice of the subject for the express purpose of drawing the attention of the public and the Government to it. It should be remembered that this great commercial community is freqnently at the mercy of the Bank Parlour, who, either by ne cessity, or fronn perhaps, mere, and often an unneces sary- apprehension, are compelled to contract their issues. Our monetary readers are well aware that, en such occasions as the contraction or expansion of the issues of the Bank of England, the Governor and Deputy-Governor are always consulted, and that, in fact, these events cannot occur without their know ledge and the influence of their opinion ; and when this mighty power of the Bank Parlour is once consi dered, with all its relative consequences, we maintain that the Directors of the Bank of England should be free from all connection with trade and speculation, or, to sum up all in a few words, the Governor, like " Caesar's wife, should be above suspicion." We do not mean to charge the late Governor, or any one con nected with the Direction, with any dereliction of their duty to the proprietors and the public ; but, nevertheless, past history tells us what a mighty engine the Bank of England is; and no stone ought to be left unturned to secure the pure administration of its affairs. To increase the force of our reasoning we will assume, since there is nothing o prevent it, that the Governor is a large Bear spcculctor in Consols, Spanish Bonds, or Russian produce, all of which are likely to be influenced in their prices by the plenitude or scarcity of money. If a Bear, at the moment when it is likely the Bank issues are about to be con tracted—what, in the name of Heaven, can prevent the Governor abusing his power by recommending a continuance of the contraction, which must, of course, reduce prices by the pressure on the Money Market, and favour a Bear speculation ? Thus it is possible that he might secretly fill his coWers, or redeem losses, at' the expense of the whole commercial and industrial community. All chance of such an occurrence, or the possibility of abusing zuch a great power, must be prevented, and the time is fast approaching when it must be effected. As we have said before, there are surely plenty of gentlemen, with the past experience of monetary and commercial affairs, who are totally independent of trade and speculation, that might be found to undertake the duties of the Direction and give ample security into the bargain to continue so. We, however, insist upon the necessity of our future Bank Directors being men of business and probity. We do not wish to see briefless Barristers or thebeard less scions of the Nobility at the helm of this monetary Corporation. The present class of men, with all their experience and knowledge, under the difficulties which an inefficient monetary system presents, often find their hands quite full enough with the Bank affairs ; there fore the more necessity that the reform we advocate should immediately take place.—Morning Herald. The Ministerial Papers affect to laugh at what we consider the well-grounded objections which have been made to the opening of the tea trade, and seem to ima gine that they successfully expose the fallacy and groundlessness of the apprehensions of those who see nothing likely to result from the change, but an aug mentation in the price and deterioration in the quality of the article, by questioning the sincerity of the tea merchants who, the other day, " shuddered at the gross idea" of selling poison to the public instead of bohea. So far from taking anything by this, we think the very doubts expressed by these advocates of free trade are strongly and concluSively against themselves. Admit the insincerity of the tea merchants' doubts and fears, and you strengthen prodigiously the alarm which for the sake of tea drinkers we feel at the power trans ferred from the hands of the great and influen tial Company to individuals, who may buy and vend at pleasure teas which the Company would neither have troubled itself to import, nor have ventured to sell. But suppose the private traders carry on the business as honestly and profitably to themselves as the Company did, the nation will not gain more by the commerce than it did before the change. What national good is done by the transfer? Will the nation be better served by the tricks and . transactions of the dealers, to whose sincerity and pro bity the Ministerial advocates of the measure appear so ready to bear testimony ? The East India Com pany have been forced to sell their fine ships, destroy their marine, pension their officers, discharge their ,labourers —five hundred a short time since; a thousand more in a few weeks to come—where are these men to find employment ? Certainly not from the Free Traders, who will carry on their traffic in smaller and inferior vessels, the losses of which by wreck or pirates will seriously involve another class of individuals. What, we ask, are the Government to do with all the warehouses here, and the immense factories in India and China ? How are the dividends now promised at ten and a half per cent. instead of eight, as at first proposed, to be secured upon the territorial revenues of the Company, in case of an Indian war, when it is clear that the sop of the additional two and a half per cent., which the proprietors more readily than wisely accepted, neither can be, nor ever were meant to he, permanent even in time of peace? Pitt and Dun das justly valued the importance of the East India Company's marine as a nursery for seamen, and as a school for navigation, which, in case of any sudden emergency, would prove a vast resource to the coun try. - The officers and men in the Company's service, possessing great nautical knowledge and experience, might be made immediately available ; and their ships being easily and readily convertible into men of war-- forming of themselves a finer navy than most foreign na tions possess—would on the instant be ready to combine their efforts with those of the King's ships for the pro tection of the country at home or the vindication of her rights and dignity abroad. We state this not as a matter of vague speculation ; the fact has been proved, not only by the purchase of East India ships for the purpose of being converted into men-of-war, but by numberless gallant actions fought by the Company's sailors in their own vessels, at the' head of which stands the celebrated repulse, by Captain Dance, of the Company's service, of a squadron of French men of-war, under the command of Admiral And it is such an . establishment as this that Mi nisters have thought it wise and proper to anni hilate, to please—not the merchants of London, who were to a man, we believe, opposed to this commercial revolution—but the private dealers, who, after having carried their point, may, per haps, discover that a vast difference will exist be tween the value of the new speculation in their hands and the old trade in the hands of the Company. We may hereafter take a somewhat more extended view of some of the evils attendant upon the change of system which may require time for their full developement ; but as far as one week goes, and one sale can exhibit results, we repeat that the earliest effects of the al- ~~a teration are the introduction into the country of poison instead of tea, and the sale of tea itself at an advanced _ . price ; and yet, with all this staring- them in the face, Ministers are obstinately pressing Mr. Charles Grant upon the Directors as Governor-General, an office to which, in the eyes of that body, Mr. Grant has very peculiar claims for having taken away their trade, and threatened them with a mandamus from the Court of King's Bench. 'We believe the resolution of the Directors upon this point is not to be shaken.—Morn infr Post. _ _ We insert elsewhere, and with much satisfaction, a letter from a " Chelsea Committee-man," detailing the beneficial operation of the recommendations made in the Report of the Poor Law Commissioners, upon the pauper charges in that district. It appears that the rate, under the good old system, had grown up to the goodly sum of 4s. in the pound eterlinz upon a rack rental, and realized no less than 21,0001. per annum. The tables, however, are now turned—the Report of the Poor Law Commissioners, even without the aid of the Poor Law Act, has .done its duty, in consequence of the vigilance and exertions of a certain portion of the inhabitants-2s. 10d. is now the rate levied, and the annual tax about 14,0001. instead of 21,0001. I This is a noble tribute to the Poor Law Commission Inquiry, and ought to silence the pitiful carpings of a certain portion of the press at the Act, .-hose spirit has been productive of such a beneficial change ; but it is not. the only one, though it is one of the best. Testimonials continue to pour in upon us from all quarters, tending to shew the beneficial operation of the Poor Laws Amendment Act ; and we doubt not that when it has fairly come into operation, it will prove a most useful and salutary check upon the worst evils of pauperism. That it has not hitherto been productive of all the satisfaction that was anticipated by some sanguine friends of pauper reform, is to be attri buted to three causes :—the first, that there has not as yet been time to bring the Act fairly into operation ; the second, the misrepresentations of its meaning and its objects ; and the third, that the parties who are the instruments of carrying the m new law into eKet, seem to be utterly ignorant of its provisions, or rather of the powers with which they are invested. A proof of the latter fact will be found in the circular of the Poor Law Commissioners which we give elsewhere, and from which it will be seen that the general idea that the new act deprives all Magistrates of all power to order relief in cases of emergency, is utterly unfounded, and that they are still in the enjoyment of-all their previous powers, except in particular cases, where it is evident that their interference could only be productive of mischief. We despair, however, of convincing the wilfully blind of the utility of the new law, though we doubt not, that before this day" twelvemonth, every parish in England will have felt and appreciated it.— Morning Advertiser. " TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE 1:10I;NING ADVERTISER. " Sir,—Lest those whose eyes arc darkened by petty pick ings in parish offices, who seem to dread nothing so much as that their darling system of favouritism and-jobbing should receive its death-blow from the new Poor Law Bill, should deny a statement which has appeared in many of the papers, that 14d. in the pound had been sa.ved in cur parish since the Poor Law Act came into operation, I beg to state that we are now in our second year of regeneration, and that the immense reduction in our rates has arisen from a few spirited indivi duals, who had the temerity to think that, however carefully the self-styled Guardians or Protectives' guarded and pro tected their own pockets, that but little attention was paid to the incessant clrainings from the labours of the industrious rate-payer. Under the baneful administration of these persons, have our rates teen regularly and steadily progressing for the last eleven years, until they amounted to 4s. in the pound on a rack rental, and a sum little short of 21,0001. was wrung from our pockets, and spent in the support of the poor, and providing tea and toast for the Guardian Committee.' In short, Mr. Editor, in proportion as our rates increased so did our houses become vacated, and before the present Reforming Committee' came into power, the walls were chalked with Chelsea Parish to let.' We came into office at Easter, 1833, and now, in the second year of power, what tale have we to tell his Majesty's Poor Law Commissioners? That acting upon the spirit and recommen dation as published in their report to Parliament, we are now paying upwards of 901. less weekly than last year to our out door poor, and our parish, instead of being to let,' has already filled in 30,0001. of empty houses, with a prospect soon of hav ing no houses to let. Instead of being the highest rated parish near the metropolis, we are become almost the lowest. In stead of calling for 4s. in the pound, we are satisfied with 2s. 10d. !! which sum will pay all our debts, and leave a ba lance at Easter, to commence a new year. Instead of having rates in collection for this year of upwards of 20,0001., we have 14,200/. ! ! and this from acting up to the spirit and recom mendation of the Poor Law report. " The maudling sycophants have now left off their brawling over the parish the hardship of offering an asylum to the aged and helpless, and the horrible cruelty of starving the poor' on a diet which no common working man with a family can by any possibility procure, and the parish jobber has almost ceased to rant against the accursed Poor Law Bill. For ourselves, Sir, we accepted office on public grounds—for the ratepayers' protection—and we hail with satisfaction the adoption of a measure which will relieve us from a weighty responsibility ; and we thank you, Sir, for your noble efforts in resisting a senseless cry, raised by the leading journals of Europe,' from some cause not germane to the subject, against a Bill—the great practical benefits of which we are now reaping by antici pation. " As a statement which appeared in one of your leading articles has been broadly denied, I send this for your satisfac tion ; and any name, if reasonably required, " I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, " A CHELSEA COMMITTEE-MAN. " Chelsea, Oct. 13, 1834." COURT OF REQUESTS, OCT. 13. TRAGEDY IN TRIBULATION. Mrs. Margery Watkins, a short, squab figure, with face and arms as blue as bilberries, waddled up to the Bench to make good her claim to 17s. 9d. for the hebdominal ablu tion of the body-linen of Mister Kemble Macready Walde grave, a six foot aspirant to histrionic honours, and a well known " star" at one of the amateur minor theatres. The appearance of the defendant created some merri ment, his nether limbs displaying the theatrical " sock and buskin," which strangely contrasted with a blue body-coat, buttoned close up to the chin. He had evidently been cap tured just as he was preparing to " cork" for a dress re hearsal of Othello. The complainant set forth the mode in which the defen dant had contrived to get into her debt. She declared she had undertaken to keep him in clean linen for ninepence a week, but having, from repeated washings, reduced his en tire stock to one shirt and a couple of tails, she presented her bill, and was faithfully promised the full payment out of the first money to be received at a forthcoming " benefit." The benefit, however, proved unproductive, and no cash consequently being forthcoming, the complainant summoned him for the debt. COMMISSIONER.—Do you refuSe to pay this woman her demand? Defendant—" The very head and front of my offending hath this extent, no more"—this woman hath de spoiled me of my best linen shirt and one silk handkerchief. Complainant—Oh ! goodness gracious ; your best shirt ? Why, my Lord, he never had more than one good one, which he's got on ; and Mr. Jones has told me he always lent him one of his dickeys while it went to the wash. Defendant—" He told a lie, a damned lie ; upon my soul a wicked lie." Complainant—l'll be on my oath it's true, your Lordship. His other shirt is in such a state that if it goes into the copper again it must be put into a cabbage net, or I shan't get out all the pieces I'm sure. Here, Betty (calling to an old woman not unlike one of Macbeth's witches), show the shirt to the gentlefolks. Betty advanced with a bundle. Delendant—" How now, ye secret, black, and midnight hags, what is't ye do ?" Betty disengaged the shirt, spread it out, and held it up, amid the laughter of the Court. It presented just such an appearance as might be sup posed to have been produced had it received a point blank discharge from a grape and canister loaded eight-and-forty pounder. Complainant—There, that's his shirt ; and only see, my Lord, how it's darned, which I never charged him nothing for. Did I, Betty ? Defendant—" Rumble your belly full, spit fire, crack your cheeks ; I tax ye not with unkindness ; I never gave ye kingdoms." Betty—You give us kingdoms! Why, you shabby scrub, you never stood the price of a quartern all the time we've washed for you. _ _ Defendant—" Aroint thee, ronyon, for a rump-fed witch." Complainant—Only listen, your Lordship ; it's quite awful to hear the heaps of wickedness that comes from his mouth. Defendant—But where's the handkerchief? " To loset or give't away were such perdition as nothing else could match." Complainant—lt hasn't been sent to.lhe wash these three weeks, you nasty feller. Defendant—The " handkerchief." Complainant—l haven't set eyes on it, nor has BeiTi7 .- Defendant—" The handkerchief." Complainant—Don't bullock me ; it wasn't sent, I say. Defendant—" Away !" The COMMISSIONER here interfered, and be gge d t h e theatrical h ero wou ld con descend to give a direct answer to. the Court, namely, whether he could find means to satisfy the complainant before extremities were resorted to. The defendant threw himself into an " imfosing al THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1834. tide," and then as if a sudden thought had strck him, asked and obtained four-and-twenty hours' grace. The defendant then folded his arms, stalked slowly out of Court, and as he cast a glance at the sleeves of his coat, ejaculated " Oh, my prophetic soul.--my• Uncle.", ford, an inspector of the N division of police, applied to Mr Twyford and Mr. Mallard, a county Magistrate, for their advice bow to•act in the following extraordinary case ' On Saturday an inquest: was taken at the Dolphin Ta vern, Mare -street, Hackney, by Mr. Baker, the Coroner for the eastern division of Middlesex, touching the death of a little boy, nine years old, named Edward Dennis, who, it ultimately appeared to the satisfaction of the Jury, had Oda from natural causes. It was reported previous to the Inquisition being held that the death of the child was occa sioned by the neglect and inattention of the father, who was a widower, and a most eccentric character, residing at White Cottage, Lamb-lane, Hackney, and on the Coroner snd the Jury proceeding there to take a view of the de ceased's remains, they were refused admittance by Mr. Den nis, the father, who said he was prepared to shoot any per son that entered his house on such an occasion. After a Freat deal of persuasion be, however, consented to admit the Coroner alone, and after further persuasion he agreed to admit the Jury likewise. The Jury, as well as the Co roner, were quite disgusted with the interior of the pre rrilses. They never, in fact, before beheld such a miserable and filthy spectacle. There were three emaciated children under eleven years of age in a room on the ground floor, surrounded by filth and dirt. The place had actually the appearance of not having been either cleaned cr swept for very re 2 ny months, although it contained some very hand some and valuable pieces of furniture. At every window in the house were placed several pieces of fire-arms, and over every chimney-piece hung a number of cutlasses. Inspec tor Bedford, with the assistance of several of his men, seized ell these offensive weapons, and on examining the fire-arms discovered them, as Mr. Dennis said, to be all loaded. Mr. TWYFORD did not see what power a Magistrate had under such circumstances. Any man had an undoubted right to refuse another man admittance into his house, and the law gives no power to a Coroner to make a forcible en trance to view a body. Mr. Dossett, the relieving overseer of South Hacimey, said that the poor children were in a most abject stz:te of misery, but he did not like to interfere in case Mr. Dennis, who was a very wealthy man, might bring an action against him. Mr. Twyroit said that if the children ,were ill-treated he could grant a warrant. A Gentleman said in reply, that the children stated be fore the Coroner that they always had plenty to eat and drink, and their father was not in the habit of beating them. A parish-officer said that Mr. Dennis never went out without having loaded fire-arms about his person. Inspector Bedford wished to know whether the Magis trates had not the power to order the deceased child to be buried, as the father intended to have it placed in a leaden coffin, and kept by his bed-side. The body was now in an advanced state of decomposition. The MacasTaaTrs were not empowered to give orders for the burial of the child. The man had a right to keep it by his bedside, if he liked. The parties then withdrew. Mr. Dennis, the party complained of, who is nearly 60 years of age, was formerly an extensive master builder, in Haberdasher-street, Hoxton. BIGAMY.—A respectable-looking man, about thirty years of age, was yesterday placed at the bar, before Mr. TWY FORD, charged with bigamy. It appeared by the evidence of Meadows the beadle of Shoreditch parish, that on the ith of January, 1823, the prisoner was married at St. Mary, Newington, in the name of William Woodman, bachelor, to a young woman named Sarah Varney, spinster ;, and on the 28th of February, 1831, he was married in the name of 'William Lucas, at St. Pancras church, to a Mary Cousins Jones, by whom he had had a family. Meadows said that the prisoner had deserted his second wife and gone back to his first, and his family becoming chargeable to Shoreditch the parish officers male inquiry into his case, and discovered that he was married to both. The prisoner was remanded for the attendance of the , vestry clerks of the two parishes. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. THE CADMAN. AND THE COMMON COUNCILMAN. —A cabman was charged by a Member of the Common Conn- eil, under the following circumstances : The Common Councilman said that as he was riding a valuable mare along the streets there was a homnibus be fore him and a cab behind him, and there was two fellows the driver in the cab, and one on 'em was laying across the splinter bar, seemingly drunk and very mach intossi cated indeed. So, the cabman which was driving, driv vita an infamous :velocity up against the hind quarters of his (the Common Councilman's) beast, and as she was a spi rited beast she was much annoyed ; for a hanimal as had spirit did net like for a cab to poke her behind, and so the danger was most infamous, and might have proved fatal bar: to - man and beast. So he (the Common Councilman) in course called out to them to mind what they was about ; but instead of doing so they set up a horse laugh all on 'cm at him, and they driv on and seemingly didn't mind no consequences either to him or his mare. " It's dreadful to think of such wiilainous conduct, my Lord Mayor," added the gentleman, who appeared while he was .describing the painful scene as much agitated as if the poked mare was . _ _ . under him and the cab behind him. The LORD MAYOR every day received fresh proofs of the necessity of a strong measure for the regulation of cabs and omnibuses. The cabman said that be had emplOyed another cabman to drive, and-that the person be employed gave the job to a third, who wasn't up to the manner of driving, and drove out of the line bang against the beast. The Cummon Councilman—My Lord Mayor, I'm- sure they was wishing to have me down off the mare for to rob me, or somebody else. Its a shame and a very bad busi-' ness, that Gentlemen can't go quiet along the streets with out being tossed off their mares by cab fellows, or driv into homnibuscs. The LORD MAYon—The danger is certainly very great, but these fellows, as you may perceive from their language, are persons of the lowest description. When the cabman is so bad, what can we expect from the cabman's deputy's deputy ? The Common Councilman—True, my Lord Mayor, it's most aggrawating. I assure you, my Lord Mayor, that I would net take 120 guineas for my mare, and there we was, you see, within a pip of eternity both on us. The LORD MAYOR then fined the cabman 10s. and costs. A young man named Charles Winter, was charged with having aided andassisted another person in passing a bad live-sclilling piece. A poor shopkeeper, named Ann Starborough, stated that the prisoner and another man walked into the shop toge ther, and looked at several articles that were for sale in the marine-store line. The companion of the prisoner, upon being told that the price of a file was sevenpence, handed a five-shilling piece to the witness, and received four shil lings and fivepenco change, when witness was ringing the money on the counter the prisoner, who had been going on with a good deal of by-play, began to sound a chimney-pot, no doubt, to smother the jingle of the five-shilling piece. The companioli ran out of the shop just at the moment the witness discovered that the money was base ; and the pri soner, who was evidently an old hand, very coolly looked at it, and said, "Itis a bad un ! Sure enough it is a bad no. How could you take such rubbish with your eyes open ?" (A laugh.) The prisoner, who said it was a -- shame to treat him so unfairly, and that the magistrate ought to see that he was not to blame, was remanded. EXTENSIVE FORGERY ON DRUMMOND'S BANK.—An elderly female of very respectable appearance, named Catlu Hillier, was brought up, charged under the fol lowing circumstances : On the 9th of October Messrs. *DrUmmond and Co. re ceived the following letter from Weymouth, cnclosinm * a bill upon the house, purporting to be the bill of Lord Strad broke, for the sum of 4631. 14s.:— _ _ " Weymouth, Oct, 8, 1834. " Gentlemen, I shall feel much obliged by your remittance of the enclosed amount by return of post.—Yours obediently, " CATHERINE HILLIER." Address, Mrs. Hillier, No. 9, Augusta-place, Weymouth. The following is a copy of the bill : ' " To Messrs. Drummond, London. " London, Sept. 20, 1834. " Fourteen days after date, pay to this my order the sum of four hundred and sixty-tl - ree pounds fourteen shillings value received, 46 : " STRADBROKE." Endorsed Stradbroke, Catherine Hillier. The signature Stradbroke was immediately seen to be a forgery, and not at all a (rood one, and Mr. Bush, the soi citor to the Committee of Bankers for protection against forgeries and frauds, immediately sent Daniel Forrester the officer, to Weymouth to apprehend Mrs. Hillier. In order to excite no suspicion, the bankers wrote the following letter to their new correspondent. " London. Oct. 9, 1834. " Madam—We have received the favour of your letter of the Bth instant, enclosing a bill to us for 4631. 14s. In reply, if you will call on Messrs. William Cox and Co., bankers at Weymouth, with a receipt, they will have advice respecting the payment by this night's post.—We remain, Madam, your most obedient servants, " DRUMMOND AND C O. " P. P. WILLIAM RUSH." " Mrs. Hillier, No. 9, Augusta-place, Weymouth." Daniel Forrester upon arriving at Weymouth, went to the bankin g - house of Messrs. Williams, Cox and Co. , at Weymouth, and at the expected time Mrs. Hillier called for the amount, and produced the receipt. Forrester asked her how she would have the money, and she replied " In bank notes." Upon being told that the name of Lord Stradbroke was a forgery she did not appear to be at all dismayed, but said " That she had received it of a person of the name of Percy on the 16th of September, at Nantes, in France, in a transaction about some pictures. The prisoner said that she was ready to answer any questions which might be put to her, but as the bankers did not reside in the city Mr. Bush requested that the case should be removed, which was accordingly done. It appears that the prisoner had about her papers which countenanced the statement that she had been in France. It also is believed that an elderly female, the description of which corresponds with that of the prisoner, bud purchased a stamp for a bill not exceeding 500/. some days before the orgery was detected. BOW-STREET. FORGERY, IN THE NAME OF LORD STRADBROKE, UPON MESSRS. Ditummoisin, THE BANKERS.—Last evening a woman of highly respectable appearance, who gave her name Catherine Hillier, was brought up in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the active city officer, on a charge of having forged and uttered a check for 463/. 148. upon the banking-house of Messrs. Drummbuds, at Charing-cross, in the name of Lord Stradbroke. Mr. Bush, solicitor to the society of bankers, attended for the prosecution. The pri soner was unattended by any legal adviser. Mr. Thomas Oliver, in the house of Messrs. Drummond and Co., on the 9th inst. received at the banking-house of that firm a letter, dated Augusta-place, Weymouth, and signed " Stradbroke," containing an order for the payment of 4631. 145., and requesting that that sum might be trans mitted to the banking-house' of Messrs. Williams and Co. in that town by the General Post, or by any other conve nient mode, for the use of Mrs. Catherine Hillier. It be ing quite clear to the firm that the signature " Stradbroke" was a forgery, a communication was at once made to Mr. Rush, who sent for Forrester, and by his advice, a letter, enclosing the sum mentioned in the cheek, was put into the General Post Office, and transmitted to Weymouth. Wit ness believes the signature " Stradbroke" at the bottom of the check produced to be a forgery. Mr. William Rush, a clerk at Messrs. Drummond and Co., also proved the remitting of the money for the cheek, addressed as requested. Daniel Forrester, the officer, on the same morning that the letter containing the check arrived, after advising that the money should be sent down, started to Weymouth, and arrived there long before the letter could by possibility have reached its destination. He was in the banking-house of Williams and Co., early in the morning, and saw the pri soner come in about eleven o'clock, and heard her ask if they had received any advice relative to Lord Stradbroke's check. The clerk was answerin g her when witness went u p t o her and asked in what way she would like to have the money? She replied, "In bank-notes, except the odd mo ney ;" and the witness then asked her how and where she became possessed of the check, and under what circum stances ? She said she had received it in France ; and when asked in what part, she said at Nantes. She further stated that she had received it in the course of a transac tion relating to the purchase of some pictures at the place she had named. She said in answer to some further ques tions, " I hope there is nothing amiss," and then he took her into a private room, and told her the check was a forgery. She said she was unconscious of it. He searched the lodgings which she had occupied in Augusta-place, and found a piece of blotting paper, on which appeared the letters forming the word " Stradbroke," in the same hand writing as that upon the check.' Witness asked her when she got the check, and she said on the 16th instant. He reminded her that the 16th bad not arrived, and she then said it was the 16th of last month. Witness produced the blotting paper. The prisoner simply repeated the statement she had made to the officer, and was remanded for ten days. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday the parochial authorities and several of the respectable inhabitants of South Hackney, and Mr. Bkl- MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Under the head of this office, in The Sun of Friday and Saturday last, appeared an account of an application of a young woman of the name of Passau. In consequence of the publicity given to her case, a gen tleman of fortune, but whose name we forger to mention, called on Saturday, and expressed his intention of assisting the young woman, if her account was correct. Mr. CONANT observed that it was merely her own state ment which had appeared in the papers, and as no inquiry •had been made it was impossible to say whether it was true or false ; but to prevent any thing like imposition he would order Ballard, one of the officers, to make enquiries ; and the young woman :was ordered to attend at the office again. Accordingly, she came yesterday morning, and on Bal lard's return she was ushered into the private room; and we regret to say that the result was by no means favourable. Ballard stated that he found she had gone by the name of Stephens, and that the address which she had given was false ; that she had lived in a variety of lodgings of a cerL tain description, and had obtained her livelihood for the last four months in a way which was highly disreputable. This statement the female denied although Mr. CONANT begged of her not to oblige him to institute a further inquiry if it wps true, as it would tend to increase an opinion still more unfavourable. She, however, continued to deny the statement which Ballard made ; on which he went to one of her lodgings, and brought a young female of the name of Smith, whose statement fully corroborated that of Ballard, and which the unfortunate girl afterwards admitted to be true. _ Mr. CONANT regretted that the inquiry should turn out so unfavourable as it had ; at the same time he must say, there was no attempt in the first instance on her part of imposition, as when she applied for advice how to act, on the parish refusing to afford her any relief, she could not be aware that the statement which she made would have raised up friends for her. The unfortunate girl then left the office extremely do jected. Q UEEN- SQUARE. Yesterday a youth named John Jones, the son of one of the musicians of the Grenadier Guards, was charged before Messrs. BURRELL and WHITE with the following outrage, and assaulting the Park-keepers in St. James's Park. On the previous afternoon there was a numerous assemblage of persons in the enclosure in St. James's Park, and amongst the company was an elderly gentleman, dressed rather in an eccentric manner. He soon attracted the attention of some mischievous lads, who surrounded him and commenced jeering him, and the mob soon increased. The Park keepers seeing that the old gentleman was very much an noyed, interfered to prevent him from bein g ill-used, when the lads, amounting to nearly one hundred, oommenced an attack upon them. The prisoner had got hold of a broom stick, and beat one of the Park-keepers severely, and was in the act of repeating another blow, when he was seized by a police constable of the A division who came up to render assistance, and taken to the station-house. Mr. WHITE fined him in the full penalty of .5/., and in default of payment he was committed for one month to the House of Correction. MAR YLEB ONE. DIABOLICAL AND BRUTAL ASSAULT.—MichaeI Hamel, Patrick 'Yaffe, and William Curtain, three athletic fero cious-looking Irishmen, were placed at the.bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. RAWLINSON, charged with the fol lowing unprovoked and brutal attack : Robert Tower, drayman, in the employ of Elliot and Co., the extensive brewers at Pimlico (who appeared with his head and face bandaged up, having bad his left eye com pletely knocked from the socket, and the cartilage of his nose broken), deposed that on the evening of Saturday last he, accompanied by two of his fellow labourers, went to de liver three butts of porter at the Three Compasses, in Portman-mews, Orchard-street, kept by Mr. Bennett. Having lowered the beer into the cellar they went into the taproom where the landlord sent them in a pet of porter and some bread and cheese, which they were enjoying, when two men, whom witness could not identify, asked one of his (witness's) companions, a man named Elms (who was then in St. George's Hospital from the injuries re ceived), to give him some bread and cheese. Elms replied it was not his, but belonged to the landlord. Just then a party of Irishmen, about twenty in number, entered the room, and, after some conversation between them, the pri soner Wolfe jumped on the table, and, before witness was at all aware of his intention, lifted up his foot and kicked him with tremendous force on the eye and nose, which laid him senseless. On recovering he found that Elms had gone to the hospital. His other companion, who was not much hurt, then led him to a surgeon's, where his w o unds were dressed, but he was afraid his sight was gone for ever. Thomas Geary, mate to the last witness, said that the prisoner Harnet was one of the men who asked for the bread and cheese, and on the last witness being kicked he then got up to resent it, when they were immediately sur rounded and overpowered. Wit ness was s t ruc k an d kicked a bout the body in a most desperate manner, and Elms was knocked down, and while i n th a t s t a t e ki c k e d about his head and face with such dreadful force that scarcely a fea ture was visible. The police having arrived at the spot, the whole of the party, with the exception of the prisoners, effected their escape. The man Elms was conveyed in a state of insensibility to St. George's Hospital. Mr. Edward Weedon, clerk at the brewhouse of Mr. Elliott, here produced a certificate from the house-surgeon of the hospital, stating that the man " Elms had received such severe injuries, both internal and external, that his life was in groat danger." Mr. RAWLINSON having asked the prisoners if they had any thing to say, and received an answer in the negative, ordered them to be remanded till Wednesday, by which time he hoped that Elms would be sufficiently recovered to come forward and give evidence againSt them. UNSTAMPED PUBLICATIONS.—John Harmefield, a youth of respectable appearance, was charged with selling an un stamped newspaper, called the Weekly Police Gazette, and assaulting Josiah Dean, of No. 4, Union-terrace, Spa-fields, an officer employed by the Stamp-office to apprehend such cffenders. - Witness, about a quarter past eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, was passing down Tottenham-court-road, when he saw the prisoner sell the publication in question to several persons, and afterwards purchased one himself, for which he paid twopence. He then called a policeman and gave him in charge. On their way to the station-house the pri soner struck and kicked him in a violent manner, and a mob of upwards of 400 persons having assembled be was assailed by them with stones, rotten eggs, and other missiles, and narrowly escaped with his life. Police constable S 174, corroborated the latter part of this statement. Mr. Edmonds (who attended for the prisoner)here asked the witness if there was any one present to corroborate his statement as to the vending of the publication, and was an- swered in the negative. Witness then went on to state that he had a very unplea sant duty to perform, to which Mr.Edmonds replied that he supposed the most pleasant part of it was the receiving a moiety of the penalties. Mr. I.l.AwLiNscx said that it was to be regretted that persons like the prisoner were thus proceeded against, and be Lad hoped that the Government would have deemed it proper to have proceeded against the printers instead. Mr. Edmonds contended that the publication handed in was not provdd to contain any article of " news," accord ing-to the strict meaning cf the word. Mr. RAVr'LINSON had carefully looked over and was of a different opinion. The prisoner was then committed for one month. ATTEIIIPT TO POISON TWO CHILDREN, AND SUICIDE OF THE MOTHER. Considerable excitement was produced in the town of St. Alban's on Sunday, by the report that Mrs. James Smailes, residing in Chequers-street, had administered arsenic to two of her children, one a girl about seven years old, and the other 14 months, and had also taken a quan tity of the deleterious poison herself. The rumour was unhappily too true ; and it appears that she bad effected her purpose in the absence of her husband and son at morn ing chapel. Medical assistance was subsequently called in, and the usual antidotes administered. These were suc cessful as regarded the children, but failed in removing the deadly effects cf the poison from the mother, who expired in great agony at halt:past seven o'clock. An inquest was held the following mornir ° r at the New Court House, be fore T. W. Blagg, Esq., Coroner for the Borough, and a respectable Jury. The evidence of Mr. J. Coales and Mr. P. Kingston, surgeons, was to the same effect ; viz., that at half-past one o'clock the preceding day they had been called in, and found deceased in great excitement from pain ; that after same time she admitted having given arsenic to the children, and bad also taken some herself ; that she at first refused to have any thing done for her, but after wards consented, and then willingly took an emetic, which produced much vomiting, but she said it was too late to do her good ; and that she died between seven and eight o'clock ; she said she had committed the act from -poverty 1 and distress, and thought it best not to leave the children behind her : she had written a letter to her husband, and had given him a reason : she was perfectly collected, and there was not the least symptom of insanity about her. Mr. G. Bates, who was well acquainted with the family, said the deceased generally appeared cheerful, and never complained of distress.—Mr. T. Bradshaw lodged in the house, and had observed the deceased to be very dejected during the past week.—Mr. J. Smailes, the husband sworn : He first discovered that the deceased was unwell at dinner time (soon after he and his son Henry returned from chapel), as she could not cat anything ; the baby was sick, and on examining the ejected matter, he found a white powder ; he also saw two sea-spoons on the mantel-piece with some white powder, and tins excited his suspicion ; on questioning her, she refused to answer, but the little girl, who was continually squeezing her throat, said " mo ther had given her some sugared bread and butter :" he immediately sent for the medical gentlemen : to all his in quiries she only said, " Oh Smailes !" but afterwards gave him a paper, and said lie might thank Mrs. Brad shaw for what she had done. He could assign no cause for her dejection, except that he had not been so successful in his trade the preceding week as in same others : Mrs. Bradshaw and deceased frequently quarrelled : three months since his bed bad been seized for rent, which had much influence on her spirits at the time, and she cried frequently, but he did not perceive any despondency lately. They always lived on the best terms. He here produced the paper given him by deceased, of which the following is a copy ;—" You have no one to thank but Mrs. Bradshaw ; she told Henry that I went to London, and slept with Mr. ---, the officer, but you know better than that ; but I wish you would see him and her face to face ; and she wrote to her son George, and said that he had been great with me. Take care of my dear son, and do not listen to what any of the Bradsliaws say about him, for they hate him, for I have heard them say so. Let him go to Mrs. Wood's as often as you can.— For Mr. Smailes." On his further examination, he said he never suspected the deceased of any impropriety of con duct. John Lewis, apprentice to Mr. Attwood, chemist, said the deceased on Saturday night, called and asked for a pennyworth more of the same stuff to poison rats, which he had sold her some time since ; that he gave her a quarter of an ounce of arsenic, andwrote on the envelope " Poison." (Here it should be observed, that about a fortnight ago, her husband had found a paper of arsenic under her bed, and said it was very shocking for her to purchase such stuff: she cried, but said nothing. This occurred in the presence of Mr. Bates, who testified to its truth, and she had pur chased it at Mr. Attwood's.) The Jury, after considerable deliberation, returned a verdict of Felo de se, and the body, on the Coroner's warrant, was buried without funeral rites, at eleven o'clock at night, in the Abbey church-yard, in the presence of an immense concourse of spectators. The two children are still living, though the infant continues in such a weakly state, that doubts are entertained whether its life can be saved.--Essex County Herald. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

Haddocks alive, turbot and cod-fish alive, abundance of lobsters, some fine Gloucester salmon, plenty of eels, smelts, john-dories, crabs, shrimps and oysters, with fresh prawns from Bognor and the Isle of Wight, have not only enabled the salesman to supply the trade at the west end of the town, but likewise the market at Billingsgate, with several sorts of fish, that could not be had from any other quarter. eAii -- '° GE ,__ d r at ST.
