" ct their native land, and to secure t o it th e p er p e tu a l b eatitude of glorious disturbance. Still we must a dmit that the attack made upon the Melbourne Cabinet by the Duke of Wellington, for its timid and truckling policy with regard to the Irish agitators, comes with an ill grace from him who expressly ac knowledged that he conceded the Roman Catholic claims, not because he was convinced of their justice, or even because he felt an inclination to step beyond the bounds of strict justice to do a generous thing, but because he was alarmed into concession by the orga nised system of popular intimidation which then pre vailed in Ireland. We always thought that the Duke had acted with great weakness if he yielded to such a motive that which he would not surrender to any argu ments, however strong, that were only backed by peace table and respectful solicitation ; and if he did throw open the doors of Parliament to the agitators of the "Catholic Association" from such a motive, he acted with equal indiscretion in avowing it. He says now, "If the Government are so feeble and irresolute as to allow the law to be dormant in order that the rent may be col lected for Mr. O'Connell, then it is no wonder that the interests of the Church are sacrificed." No man more readily sacrificed the interests of the Church when it suited his purpose than the Duke of Wellington. No man that ever filled the high situation of Prime Mi nister of England offered a greater bounty to agitation in Ireland than he did. He, of all men, has no right to blame the present Cabinet for sacrificing the inte rests of the Church to conciliate the disturbers of Ire land. His concessions, which lie admitted were the result of that most unstatesmanlike of all qualities— fear—let out those waters upon the land which have never since been restrained within the limits of law and order, and we much question now if they ever will, until the inundation reaches a height which we do not wish to contemplate. We have said that if the Irish Tithe Bill had been carried, we do not think it would allay the tithe agitation of Ireland. Agitation on other subjects we are sure it would not ; nor will any measure which is not conceded by the British Government to reason and justice, but extorted by fear. The Irish people, or, at least, the Roman Catholics of Ireland,have called for an extinction of tithe. They have declared they will not rest satisfied with any thing short of that. And did this Bill go the length of extinguishing tithe ? No such thing. Though it was Mr. O'Connell's Bill, it did not go that length ; for the Honourable and Learned agitator, though so hostile to the claims of the Church, is said to have a sympathy with certain lay-impropriators. What then did the Bill do ? It went to convert the tithe payable by the occupier into a rent-charge to be paid by the landlord, he receiving the tithe in the shape of increased rent from the tenant of the land, and paying to the Clergy only 60 per cent., or three-fifths of the whole nominal amount pay able by law. That is, for every 1001. of tithe, the landlord was to pay a rent-charge of only 401. a pro position which appears to have been suggested originally by Mr. Pierce Mahony, a Roman Catholic Solicitor, we believe, from whom Mr. O'Connell took the hint, which the Cabinet felt itself compelled, by its com promise with the agitator to adopt, though it made a show of resistance, to keep up appearances ; but Mr. Mahony's plan, developed in his letters to Mr. Littleton, were connected with a principle of redemp tion, which was no part of the Bill that has been strangled by the Lords. The Tithe Bill which the Ministers had originally agreed upon had clauses of redemption, but the same controlling power that called for the sacrifice of two-fifths of the income of the Clergy caused them to be erased from the Bill. But then it said that although 20 per cent., or one-fifth, was to go into the pockets of the Irish landlords, to bribe them to assist in tranquillising Ireland, yet the other 20 per cent.was to be made up to the Clergy out of the Consolidated Fund. Well, but this arrangement would naturally transfer the discontent respecting tithe from the occu piers of land to the whole of the people of England, Ireland, and Scotland, who contribute to that Conso lidated Fund. How was this difficulty to be obviated? Why, the deficiency was to be made up from the Per petuity Fund, as it is called, which fund is created out of the proceeds arising from the purchase of their leases by the Bishop's tenants in Ireland, and which fund it was understood was to go to the augmentation of small livings, the raising the miserable stipends of Curates, and the repairs of Churches, so that the people might thereby be relieved from the church cess in Ireland. Thus, then, the Bill stood a specimen of anything but that simplicity of legislation which, above all things, proves the ability of a statesmanlike intellect. In the first place, we have seen that two-fifths, or 40 per cent. were to be taken off the amount of tithe, as converted into a rent-charge ;20 per cent. of this to go into the pockets of the landlords, and 20 to be paid to the clergy, or more truly speaking, 172 out of the Conso lidated Fund, and then the deficiency in the Consoli dated Fund to be made good out of the Perpetuity Fund. Has not this very much the appearance of a juggle ? Would any honest measure require to be en veloped from the eye of common observation in so much complexity and embarrassment. Such states manship may be very ingenious, but it is also very ab surd. One thing, however, notwithstanding all this obscurity and mystification, the people of Ireland would have discovered, and it is that the Bill was not a measure for the extinguishment of tithe. The House of Lords, then, if they had passed the Bill, would have found that they had been dragged captive, like the Ministers, at the chariot-wheels of Mr. O'Connell's ambition, and had sacrificed a large proportion of the property of the Irish Church, without producing tran quillity to Ireland. Indeed, Mr. Mahony himself thus speaks of the Bill, which its authors wish to make the public believe would have been the means of procuring a political m ill enn i um f or I re l an d . " Thi s plan will not answer, and chiefly because the people of Ireland have been promised an extinction of tithes ; and no thing short of, at least, the certainty of extinction within a year or two will satisfy them or afford the Government a chance of restoring peace to that country." Now we are disposed to think that Mr. Mahony knows the temper and feelings of his Roman Catholic countrymen on this question as well as Mr. O'Connell. As a solicitor in extensive practice, he is likely to be better informed, and he says to Mr. Littleton—" The only choice we have to make lies between a speedy and equitable redemption of tithe or a total coviscatzon of that species of pro perty ; and I cannot urge too forcibly on your atten tion the fact that the landlords of Ireland dare not (even if they were so disposed) contaminate their rents by incorporating with them the collection of tithe. Let us remember that the combination against tithe has been eminently successful—that the people have been allowed to trample on the laws, which now exist but in name only, for the protection of that species of property, and that the machinery which effected such a result remains uninjured and ready, upon any the slightest pretence, to be directed against rents." Here, then, is anything but a promise of pa cification as the result of the O'Connell and Mel bourne Tithe Bill which the House of Lords have " hurried to the tomb of the Capulets." It is not, therefore, a thing to be wept over by those who wish for the peace of Ireland ; for though it went to con fiscate a large portion of the property of the Church, it would not have secured the public peace—it would rather have been a new supply of oil to the flames of agitation.—Morning Herald. An evening contemporary has charged us with in consistency (rather absurdly, as we think), for having some days ago animadverted upon certain defects and errors in the construction of the Irish Tithe Bill, since thrown out by the House of Lords, while we yesterday deplored its rejection. There might have been some truth and candour in such an accusation, if we had not carefully and studiously subjoined to our censures on the principles of the Bill, a distinct acknowledgment that « if the question should really be, whethe r the clergy are to lose a severe per centage on their in come, or, as is feared by their Ministerial friends, the whole of it, which may be possible from the existing state of Ireland, w e can do nothing but supplicate the Lords to consult their Lordships' means at the expense of their wishes, and to save a remnant of the Irish church, by sacrificing those of its appendages which endanger the whole body of the institution." Not a day since has gone by in which, when speaking of the Bill, we have not both admitted its faulty principles, and insisted on the ne cessity of now passing it into a law, as the last shift for maintaining in Ireland any Protestant c h urc h whatever. As the case at present stands, there are but three modes of action for those who favour the existence of the Protestant Church of Ireland, which, as one of our ecclesiastical institutions, Lord Mel bourne, the head of his Majesty's Government, has declared his anxiety to preserve. Ist—To assist the clergy in enforcing the payment of their tithe from the occupiers of land throughout the kingdom,—an at tempt which we have the authority of Mr. Stanley, and of others besides that Right Hon. Gentleman, for asserting to have been utterly impracticable a twelve month ago and more, but which, considering the pro gress of alienation from, and active hostility towards, the temporal church, in the minds of the people since that period, we might at the present moment pronounce to be absolutely frantic. 2d—Failing tithe, what next ? An application to Parliament for another grant of the public money to save the parochial clergy from starving ! But this is an expedient which Lord Melbourne has described it as im possible again to have recourse to, inasmuch as Ministers could not ask, and the House of Commons would not give, their concurrence. 3d, and finally— . A voluntary contribution from all members and we wishers of the Protestant Church, consisting of all those landlords who had under the late Tithe Bill undertaken to charge themselves with a payment of three-fifths of the existing tithe, aided, and of course encouraged, by those holders of landed property to a vast amount, who on Monday evening, by their rejec tion of the Tithe Bill, gave an understood pledge that they would themselves, if necessary, indemnify the Irish clergy for the loss of all legal support to which that vote consigned them. We should like to hear from our Conservative brethren what further alterna tives beyond those above enumerated they have in store for the maintenance of the Established Church [ of Ireland. The impudent mockery of referring the • poor parsons to their peasant parishioners for the col : lection of tithe, we hope, from a regard to decency, the Tory press will not again dare to practise.—Times. The rejection of the Irish Tithe Bill by the House • of Lords involves two considerations of the highest [ moment—the one as regards its effects upon the con , dition of the Irish Protestant Clergy ; the other, its consequences to the House of Lords itself. The story of the first is soon told. The effect of the rejection of the Bill will be to reproduce starvation among the Irish Clergy—to deprive them of all means of living —or, if they employ the strong arm of the law, as re commended by the Duke of Wellington, to enforce the payment of tithes, not only to render them odious, but to place their lives in jeopardy, and expose the country to the dangers of insurrection, if not of actual rebellion. Every one knows that for years past, but more especially within the last three or four, the Clergy of the Established Church have not been able to col lect more than one-third, or three-fifths, under the most favourable circumstances, of the amount of tithes le gally and fairly due to them ; and for two reasons, whose force it would be difficult to gainsay—the first, that, in many cases, the people had not the means ; and the second, that whether they had or had not the means, the payment of any contribution for the support of a church which, although denominated the Esta blished Church, did not reckon even one-seventh of the whole population among its supporters, was an act of gross tyranny and injustice. That this opposition, or rather resistance, to the payment of tithes, in any shape, would be continued, no sane person ever at tempted to doubt ; and it became, in consequence, the duty of the Executive—seeing that the law could not be enforced without dangers of infinitely greater amount than any exaction of obedience would have compensated—to devise a means whereby the clergy, on the one hank, might be saved from starva tion, and the arum brought upon them by con flicts, resulting from a compulsory collection of tithe, be avoided on the other. To attain this object the Administration of which Lord Grey was the head, and Mr. Stanley, the Earl of Ripon, and others were Mem bers, dreK up a Bill, which was afterwards amended in the Comffions, and which provided that—to use the language of an evening contemporary—for every 1001. of the nominal amount of the tithe claimed, but never collected by the clergy--and, indeed, utterly incapable of collecting by them— ,, the clergy should receive 60 per cent. from the landlords, and 20 per cent. out of the Consolidated Fund, which 20 per cent. was to be paid back to the Consolidated Fund as the revenues from the bishoprics abolished by a former Act of Par liament should fall in. Thus the Tithe Bill, which the Lords have rejected, secured to the established clergy of Ireland 80 per cent. upon the nominal amount of their tithes ;" and who, whether lie were a tithe owner or a land or house-proprietor, would not, as Lord Melbourne very justly observed, be exceed ingly well satisfied—more especially under the peculiar circumstances in which Irish property of all kinds is placed—to compound for a certainty of eighty per cent. of his whole claim, to be received without trou ble, odium, or danger, rather than run the certainty of all these disagreeables, and receive nothing ? The House—the opposition side of it—laughed when the Noble Lord declared that the arrangement was not a bad one ; but the time is rapidly approaching when the matter will not be one of laughter—and when, perhaps, those Noble Lords who found so much amusement in the proposition of the Noble Lord, will be veryglad, without any risk of bad tenants, and with out any odium, to receive something less than 80 per cent. of what they deem to be their just claim. At all events, greater wonders have been seen. With regard to the consequences to the House of Lords, as ... a, dis- tinct portion of the Legislature, we are really un willing to say all that we think. That their decision has not raised them in the estimation of any portion of the public—that they have proved themselves to be utterly ignorant of the real state of the public mind ; and that they have moved the question a few steps farther, whether there should or should not be a house of hereditary wisdom, is but too true ! Would to Heaven that, for the sake of the wise and good men 'who are to be found among their Lordships, the House had not come to a decision which involved the question whether an hereditary legislator had any better claim to the indulgence of the public than an heredi tary tailor, or an hereditary boot-maker ! The question, however, has been mooted, and it will not be put to rest until the Hous - e of Lords becomes more cognizant than it has hitherto proved itself to be, of the state of public feeling, which is wholly in favour of a repre sentative House of Lords, and more practically in clined to accord with them.. We merely throw out the hint—we trust their Lordships will take'it to heart, and either save themselves by better conduct, or im prove upon it.—Morning Advertiser. ACCELERATION OF THE MAIL.-The citizens of Edinburgh now feel great benefit by the early delivery of the London letters, and we understand that the mail will in a short time arrive at half-past ten o'clock instead of half-past twelve. Should the projected low-water pier at Granton be carried into effect, one at Burntisland will speedily follow. When these take place, the north mail will cross direct through Fife, to Dundee, Montrose, and Aberdeen, instead of the present circuitous route by the Queensferry and Perth—a change which will be of the greatest benefit to the merchants in that line of road ; and we have no doubt those interested will avail themselves of an opportunity of petitioning the Post master- General on the subject.—Edinburgh Chronicle. THE LAUGHING SKULL.—The tradition (Irish) of the laughing skull possesses a sort of horrible drollery alto gether unequalled. It is said that a comic actor, or minstrel, by name Clepsanus, once flourished in that island, who was the Liston of his time ; his face was such a farce in itself, that any person, no matter how much oppressed by the most ago nizing grief at the moment, who looked at him, found it im possible to avoid laughing. Having fretted his hour upon the stage of this life, he made his exit, and was buried in the churchyard, where in due course of time all that was mortal of s him disappeared, ex ce pt hi s p er icranium. Th e gravedigger, while making room in the same spot for a new claimant, shovelled up the skull of the minstrel, and without at all remembering to whom it had once belonged, placed it on a large stone that was on the surface of the earth. Some stragglers came into the churchyard, and happening to approach the said stone, they set up such a peal of laughter that the gravedigger was astonished. He loosed about to ascertain the cause of their mirth, when his eye falling on that part of the caput from which the mouth and tongue of Clepsanus had formerly set many an audience in a roar, he, too, yielded to the contagion, and laughed till he could dig no longer. The funeral train, for whose reception he had been preparing, next appeared, rending the air with that melancholy howl which even vet may be heard in some parts of Ireland on such occasions. B u t as t h e process i on advanced, and reached within view of the skull of Clepsanus, the notes were suddenly changed to shouts of irresistible m err i ment . The tradit i on adds, that this singular relic micilit be seen even within a cen tury or two ago.—New Montnig Magazine. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MANSION-HO USE. Yesterday a man named Daniel Donovan, who has been for some time known to the police as a " regular macer," was brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged upon 'ins picion of having broken into and plundered the shop of Mr. C. Williamson, of No. 98, Royal Exchange, on Sunday last. The burglary, it appeared, was accomplished in such a manner that the principal officers are convinced that the housebreakers consisted of the most desperate fellows about town. There is a gate leading from Castle-place, Cornhill, at the corner of which is Mr. Williamson's shop, to the inte rior of the Royal Exchange, and there is another passage between that gate and Mr. Williamson's shop leading to the Assurance Office on the second floor of the building. Be tween the shop and passage there is a wooden partition. The door of the passage is locked and secured inside every evening ; but the gate is locked upon the outside, and the thieves contrived to pick the lock, and to have their full swing in the building on Sunday, when not a creature was to be found there but themselves. The moment they en tered at the first door their great difficulty was passed, for they brought with them a set of tools which no metal would be able to resist. They proceeded up stairs,, burst open the door of the Assurance Office, and then descended to the passage immediately adjoining Mr. Williamson's shop. They then cut away the partition, entered the shop, and wrenched open a large iron safe of great strength, contain ing thirty gold watches and thirty-seven silver watches, be , sides a great number of gold and silver watchguards, gold seals, and other articles of jewellery. Of all this property, the thieves plundered the shop, and they no doubt quitted the Royal Exchange at a time when the chances of detec tion were greatly diminished. The gentleman who is so serious a loser by this flagrant robbery cannot be charged, as many tradesmen have been, with having neglected to watch his property with sufficient care. One of the rules laid down by the Committee called the Gresham Committee, who have, the management of the estate, being that no person shall be allowed to sleep on the premises, nothing more could have been done by Mr. Williamson for the pro tection of his goods than he had done. The prisoner was brought before the Lord Mayor by John Forrester, the officer, who apprehended him in a lane in Aldgate, and searched him as well us his premises, but found nothing which was calculated to strengthen the sus picion entertained against the man. Mr. Williamson deposed that the premises had been locked up on Saturday night, and left in the usual state, the watches and other portable articles of jewellery having been locked up in the iron safe. In various parts of the premises were the articles which were not of so portable a nature, and no attempt had been made to take anything likely to encumber. At about one o'clock on Sunday night or Monday morning, he -received intimation that something wrong had happened,, and upon going to the premises he saw that the safe had been smashed open and plundered of all the property deposited there. Upon the premises Forrester found two crowbars, a lever strong enough to tear iron from iron, and other house breaking implements, with which, in his opinion, a couple of able men could in a short time burst open any place, however strong. The Lord Mayor asked whether the prisoner had been seen lurking about the premises at any time ? Merchant said there were witnesses who could identify him as a person who had been during Sunday in the imme diate neighbourhood of the place where the robbery was effected. The prisoner was remanded. Mr. Williamson has offered a reward of 1001. upon the conviction of the thieves and the restoration of the property. The LORD MAYOR sent for Mr. Saunders, the water bailiff, in order to make inquiry concerning the nuisances of the piles which were visible at low water at London Bridge. Some allusion had been made to the extraordi nary continuance of such a nuisance by Mr. Prior, the Chairman of the Blackfriars Bridge Committee, in the Court of Common Council, and a question was asked of Mr. Hunter, the Chairman of the Navigation Committee. The subject, however, came under the jurisdiction of the Lord Mayor more properly than under that of the Navi gation Committee, and lie (the Lord Mayor) should take care, as Conservator of the River Thames, that every means should be taken to remove so dangerous an ob struction. The water-bailiff bore testimony to the existence of the nuisance. The LORD MAYOR then directed that if Messrs. Joliffe and Bankes did not cause it to be immediately removed an indictment should be preferred. GUILDHALL. Yesterday, Francis Clark, a coal-dealer in Fleet-lane, was brought before Mr. Alderman KELLY, charged with steal ing a pair of woman's boots, the property o f M r . F are , shoemaker, of Fleet-street and Newgate-street. The manner in which the case was brought home to the prisoner was rather sigular. On the 7th of May, Mr. Toby, a shoe-manufacturer in the Dover-road, delivered a large quantity of work in hampers, at Mr. Fare's premises in Fleet -street, and on the following day the prisoner was employed to remove thither some coals, from his late resi dence in Newcastle-street. Shortly afterwards, eight pairs of boots and an odd one were missed ; but, as the prisoner was apparently a shopkeeper in good circumstances, no sus picion attached to him. Last week, however, a woman named Ann Matthews, who resides in Elliott's-court, Old Bailey, brought the odd boot to Mr. Fare's shop in New gate-street, desiring one to be made match it. It was re cognised by the mark, and the woman related that she had purchased it from the prisoner, who told her that it was an odd one his wife had. Hodgson, a policeman, was called in, who proceeded to the prisoner's apartments, and found a duplicate of a pair of boots, which had been pledged two days after the theft, and turned out to be one of the eight pairs of boots that were stolen. There was also found on his premises a brass cock, with several feet of leaden pipe, which had been stolen only three days before, out of the cellar of Mr. Swile, a baker, in Fleet-lane, who had suffered a similar loss a month before. The pair of boots was produced by the pawnbroker, and identified by the maker and Mr. Fare, who said the pri soner had access, when removing the coals, to the place from whence the boots were stolen. The prisoner said he received the duplicate in payment of a debt for coals, from a stranger whom he had- no oppor tunity to seek, in consequence of his apprehension ; and he asked. Mr. Fare if he could swear he had not sold this pair of boots in his shop. Mr. Fare said he could.. Mr. Alderman KELLY observed that the account given by the prisoner was very unsatisfactory, and he should com mit the prisoner for stealing the cock as well as the boots. The prisoner was committed for trial. BOW -STREET. CRUELTY TO A onsE.—Joseph Brown, a young man in the service , of Mr. Edward Pepper, an ironmonger, re siding at No. 14, Brydges-street, Covent-garden, as horse keeper and groom, was yesterday placed at the bar at this office, charged with inflicting a number of wounds on, and otherwise injuring a horse, the property of his employer, on Saturday afternoon. It appeared that the stables of the prosecutor are si tuated in George -yard, Drury-lane, and that on Saturday afternoon the horse in question was observed standing in the stables by George Mitchell, who works in the same yard, much cut and wounded about the hind-legs, who also saw the prisoner asleep, in a state of intoxication, in the hay-loft over the stables. Information of the fact was con veyed to the prosecutor, who, on coming to the stables, found eight wounds on the horse's near hind-leg, and se veral others about its back and off hind-leg. On the ground, lying among the litter, was found the pitch-fork used by the prisoner, with one of the prongs broken off. Upon compar ing the wounds on the animal's back with the fork, it was evident that it had been the weapon with which they had been inflicted. The horse was then taken to a farrier, when several severe bruises about its eyes, belly, and hocks were also discovered. The wounds were dressed, and the horse is now in a fair way of recovering, although still very lame. Th e prisoner was afterwards questioned on th e su bj ect by Thos. Maynard, a smith, in the employ of the prosecutor, when he at first denied all knowledge of the circumstance, but subse quently admitted having inflicted the injuri es described, af firming as a reason that the horse had kicked him. The pri soner was apprehended in Drury-lane while intoxicated, and was brought up at this office on Monday, from which day he was remanded until yesterday, in order to obtain the evidence of the farrier. The prisoner now, in his defence, stated, that on his going to dress the horse on Saturday af ternoon, the animal endeavoured to bite him, and after wards to kick him. In a moment of passion he seized the prong and made a blow at the horse, but missed him, and the prong coming in contact with the pavement, was broken. H e afterwards beat the horse with a whip, when the animal, in kicking at him, kicked his feet through the stall-board, in endeavouring to extricate which the wounds were inflicted. The animal was very vicious, as the prosecuttit well knew. He admitted he was drunk at the time. Mr. Pepper denied that there was any evil in the ani mal's disposition. Sir F. ROE then convicted the prisoner, under the Act for using cruelty towards the animal, and fined him in the penalty of .5/. or in default of payment committed him to the House of Correction for thee months. CHARGES OF ASSAULT.—Janzes Neale and Thos. Leo nard, residing in Great Wyld-street, Seven Dials, were on Monday brought up in custody of the new police, charged with assaulting police constable Keene, No. 57, of the F division, in a most violent manner, at an early hour on Sun day morning. It appeared from the depositions of the complainant, and police-constable No. 101, of the same division, and those of George Nicol, who witnessed the occurrence whilst casually THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1834. passing, that on the morning in question the witness, ac companied by a brother constable, went to Lascelle's-court, Broad -street, St. Giles's, for the purpose of quelling a dis turbance which he heard was there. They succeeded after some time in dispersing a crowd that was collected, and re turned to their proper beats, when shortly after, the com plainant, hearing the noise was renewed, returned to the spot. He there found the two defendants in the crowd, and begged of them to go home. They showed some re luctance to do so, when he was about to remove them by force. Upon this, Leonard seized him by the collar and struck him a violent blow. Neale and another man now came up, and Neale stooping down, his companion pushed the constable in a most violent manner over his back, and he fell to the pavement with terrific force on his left shoulder, which was dreadfully bruised by the fall, and was at first thought to be forced from its proper position. Assistance shortly after arrived, and the two defendants were taken to the station-house, the third man, however, making his escape. The defendants were now called upon to answer the charge. They stated that on the morning in question they had left Leonard's lodgings after the death of one of his children, in order that the body might be laid out by their wives. On passing the spot where the alleged assault took place, they saw - the two police constables in a state of in toxication ; they endeavoured to avoid them, but they fol lowed and pushed them on, and otherwise used them with great violence. They made some remarks respecting the state in which the police were, when Leonard was seized violently by Keene, the policeman, and in a struggle which ensued both fell down. They were afterwards carried to the station-house, where they were locked up. The police constables denied that there was the least foundation for the charge of drunkenness or violence towards the defendants. They had acted with as much forbearance as possible. In this statement they were borne out by the witness Nicol, and Stubbs, the inspector, and Wheatley, the ser geant on duty at the station-house at the time the charge was taken. Sir F. ROE said it was a most unprovoked assault. The tbffence was rendered greater by the unfounded charge pre ferred against the police, of drunkenness. He should fine the two defendants in the penalty of 50s. each, or, in default of payment, commit Neale to the House of Cor rection for one month. In consideration of the recent affliction of the other defendant, in the event of leis being unable to pay the fine, he should permit him to put in bail for his appearance at the Sessions to answer the charge, binding the policeman over to prosecute. The defendants were then removed. Daniel Sullivan, a bricklayer's labourer, was next placed at the bar, charged with committing a most violent and un provoked assault on John Foster, on the preceding morn ing, at eleven o'clock, in Parker-street, Drury-lane. The complainant, on being sworn, deposed, that at the time specified, lie went into a beer-shop kept by a Mrs. Forster, in the above -named street, for the purpose dour chasing some tobacco, when he was pointed out by 'Ruin a n in the shop as a common informer. The landlady,' upon this, commenced an attack upon him, and, aided by the man, expelled hiM from her shop, notwithstanding his de nial of the fact. On reaching the door of the shop, he saw the defendant standing near, who immediately, without the slightest provocation, or offence, struck him a tremen dous blow on the head, which felled him to the ground. His head coming in contact with the curb-stone, a wound was caused, from which the blood flowed, as a witness de scribed it, "as if it was poured from a tea-kettle." The complainant remained insensible for some time, and the de fendant made his escape. At six o'clock on the same even ing, however, he was apprehended, and lodged in the sta f.on-house. The defendant now declared that the complainant, in leaving the beer-shop, ran against him and fell down acci dentally. He denied having struck him at all. Having no witnesses to call in corroboration of this state ment, he was fined in the penalty of .5/., or committed to the House of Correction for two months, in the event of non-payment. A warrant was then ordered to issue against Mrs. Fors ter, the landlady of the beer-shop, for the assault so unwar rantably committed on the complainant. In the course of a short time, she was brought to the office in custody of Fall, one of the officers of the establish ment, when the facts already stated having being once more deposed to, she was called on for her defence. She admitted the truth of complainant's story, but said she had turned him out of her shop because she really had supposed him to be a common informer. She had now, however, discovered her mistake, and was sorry for what had happened. Sir F. ROE said she need have no fear of informers, or any other person, if she conducted her house properly. He should fine her in the penalty of 20s. and 4s. costs for the assault, or in default commit her to the House of Correc tion for three weeks. °minus DasvEas.—Another precious specimen of these worthies was brought before Sir F. ROE yesterday on the following charge : Mr. Woodward, a gentleman residing in the King's-road, Chelsea, got into the omnibus No. 2,249, on Wednesday last, and desired to be put down at Catherine-street, Strand. When he alighted he gave the conductor 6d , but he was excessively abusive, and demanded 6d. more. Mr. Woodward refused to give it, as 6d. was the fare chalked on the vehicle, upon which the coachman (George Gordon) Jumped from his box, took Mr. W.'s hat, in which was a silk handkerchief, from his head, and having thrown it into the boot, jumped up and drove off, leaving him bare-headed in a tremendous shower of rain. The defendant could not deny the charge, and was fined 54 , and in default committed for three months to the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. APPLICATION INTERESTING TO THE MEDICAL WORLD. Mr. G. Dermott, the eminent anatomist of 35, Dean-street, Soho, came to this Office, accompanied by several gentle men, members of the medical profession, to ask the advice of Mr. Chambers as to the best mode of proceeding in a matter, which he said materially concerned the medical world and his own character. Some time ago he had com menced an elaborate anatomical work, illustrative of the structure of the human frame, and in order to insure the most scrupulous accuracy, he had executed the drawings himself, and had likewise executed the plates, which formed the principal value of the undertaking. This work was subscribed for extensively among the medical. profession, and he had furnished three numbers to the subscribers. A person who had acted as a sort of agent in the sale of the work, had latterly been imposing upon the subscribers a spurious continuation of this work, supplying them with four additional numbers, and leading them to believe that these numbers were the production of him (Mr. Dermott). In order to carry on the deception with greater success, he had wrapped the spurious plates in the wrappers of the genuine work ; and the medical world having been thus imposed upon, the consequence was that he (Mr.Dermott) was exposed to a risk of reputation, and the subscribers were defrauded of their money by the purchase of a work comparatively useless from its inaccuracy. Mr.. CHAMBERS inquired if Mr. Dermott had entered his work at Stationers' Hall ? Mr. Dermott replied, he had unfortunately neglected to enter his work, but he considered, as his name had been used to carry on a fraud, that a charge of obtaining money under fraudulent pretences could be made out against the offending party. . . Mr. Ch AMBERS said it was clear to him that a magis trate had no power to interfere in this matter. The proper mode of proceeding would be for Mr. Dermott to apply to the Lord Chancellor for an injunction to restrain the sale of the spurious work ; and if the subscribers had been im- _ ... posed upon, they ought to seek a civil remedy against the person who had so acted. Mr. Dermott said he was anxious to take effectual steps to counteract the fraud, as his reputation as an anatomist was concerned. The parties then retired. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.--James Filewood was charged with having been concerned in plundering Mr. Lloyd, boot and shoe-maker, Coventry-street, of an immense quantity of boots and shoes. The particulars of the case have al ready been detailed in the examination of his wife Susanna, and his brother, George Filewood, both of whom have been fully committed on the charge. About twoh rio u s nd e r e e r wdpaas fully committed.irshavebeen recovered, princi pally through the activity of Mr. Lloyd, an d po li ceman . 79 c 1. 7 The p Parsons, a man well known to the police, and Louisa Sinclair, a woman of loose habits, were yesterday placed at the bar, charged with burglariously breaking and entering the mansion of Sir Edward Paget at Sandhurst, Kent, and stealing therein one hundred and six silver forks, ninety-one silver spoons, and other articles of plate. Hobbs, a plain-clothes constable of the C division, stated that, in consequence of some private information which he could not divulge, he had apprehended the Prisoners from w ell -knowing their character. On apprehending the parties the woman had thrown away some duplicates. He wished for time, and had no doubt that he should be able to bring forward evidence against the parties. They were remanded until Tuesday next. EMBEZZLEMENT.—Francis Burton, a young man, fa shionably dressed, was on Monday brought before Messrs. CHAMBERS and DYER, charged with having embezzled va rious sums of money belonging to his employer, Mrs. Mar garet Canham, No. 52, Berner's-street, Oxford-street. Mrs. Canham stated, that she was the proprietress of De Velno's Vegetable Syrup, and the prisoner, who had been in her service as clerk for eleven years, was employed to keep her accounts and collect moneys from her customers and tenants. Having let a house, No. 29, Percy-Bfeet, for 100 guineas per annum, to a respectable tenant of the name of Jarvis, she employed the prisoner to call and re ceive the rent. Three quarters having become due, and the prisoner assuring her that he had called repeatedly but could get no money, and feeling astonished at this circum stance, as Mr. Jarvis had always been extremely punctual, she called upon that gentleman, and then she learnt that the money had been paid for each of the three quarters as soon as called for. Mr. Jarvis, undertaker, Kilburn, said, he paid the pri soner three sums of 26/. ss. each, on account of his mistress, for which he had Mrs. Canham's receipts. Mrs. Canham, on being shown the receipts, said they were in her handwriting, and she had at different times given them to the prisoner to collect the amount for her. The three amounts had never been banded over to her. Mrs. Canham added, that as soon as she saw the pri soner, after she had spoken with Mr. Jarvis, she told him what she had l earnt, an d t h e pr i soner confessed that lie had received the three sums of 26/. 55., and had omitted to pay them over to her. Mr. Humphries, who attended for the prisoner, pro ceeded to put some questions as to the mode of payment for the prisoner's services, and whether or not he did not stand in the situation of a sort of partner, and a sharer in the profits of the sale of the syrup. Mrs. Canham replied that the prisoner was solely en gaged as clerk at a salary of 100/. per annum. He was not in the most distant way a partner with her, although it had come to her ears that he had given himself out as such, but she had told him of the report, and at the same time added she should despise the idea of a partnership with him. Mr. HUMPHRIES : But are there not some accounts yet unsettled between you and the prisoner ? Mrs. Canham : The prisoner is in my debt certainly. Some time ago he asked me to advance him 1001., and to repay myself by deducting 10/. a quarter from his salary. I lent him the money, and have received one payment, so that 90/. is due to me on that transaction. He also asked me to lend his brother, who was in business, 3001., and I consented. Some time afterwards, seeing him very dull, I asked him what was the matter, and he replied he was very nervous, because his brother stood in need of another 300/. He said he could not ask me to lend his brother any more money, but if I would lend it to him it would be of essential service. I lent him a second 300/., so that the sum he owes me is 690/. The prisoner said he denied the truth of this statement. He applied to Mrs. Canhani for an advance of salary, but instead of giving him a stipulated sum, she agreed to allow him one shilling upon the profits of every bottle of the syrup. Mrs. Canham replied it was totally false, that the pri soner was to have a shilling on each bottle sold. She certainly did agree, in consideration of his undertaking to write the advertisements, to allow him a shilling on the advanced price ; but all he had done in that way would not amount to more than 5/. Mr. CHAMBERS inquired if Mrs. Canham suspected that the prisoner had embezzled other sums of money ? Mrs. Canham answered that she believed there were a great many other sums not accounted for. She had ac counts in most part of the United Kingdom, and even in the East Indies, and not having had time to look into them, she could not tell the extent of her losses. Mr. CHAMBERS—Then I'll give you an opportunity, by remanding the prisoner-for a few days. There is at present a case against the prisoner for me to commit upon, and in the meantime, Madam, I would recommend you to get some person more experienced in accounts than you are, to look over your books, and see if any other cases can be discovered, for it is evident you have parted with large sums of money, and the defence set up will be an attempt to place the transactions to the account of a partnership. The witnesses in the present charge were then bound over to prosecute. An Irish tailor,named M‘Mahon, was charged with hav ing indecently exposed his person to a respectable married female, named Taylor. Mr. CHAMBERS sent him to the House of Correction and hard labour for two months. MAR YLEB ONE. John Turner, driver of the omnibus, No. 173 ; John Silvester, driver of No. 154 ; John Turnbull, driver of No. 251 ; and George Barnfather, driver of the Tallyho, No 4 283, all running from Paddington to the Bank, were charged with stopping at the Regent's Circus on Thursday evening last, so as to prove an obstruction to the other vehicles passing to and fro. Samuel Patmore, D 67, and other constables, having proved the fact, the defendants were all fined in the sum of 20s. each. On Monday Edward Eden, driver of the hackney-coach No. 625, was brought up on a summons to answer the fol lowing charge : Mr. John M'Donnell, gentleman, residing in Glouces ter-place, Dorset-square, deposed that on the night of Wednesday last he got into the defendant's coach in the Haymarket, and desired to be driven to No. 14, Park-ter race, New—road, and from thence to his own residence, where, on alighting, he gave the defendant 2s. 6d., who said that would not satisfy him, he must have 6d. more.— This witness refused to give him, and he went indoors. Immediately after which the defendant began making use of the knocker and bell in a most violent manner, and conti nued to do so about a quarter of an hour, when witness went out and asked him what he wanted ? To which he replied that his fare was 35., and he would not go without the other sixpence. Witness then gave him his card, telling him at the same time to go away. This he positively re fused to do, and commenced making use of the most abu sive language, and attempted t o f orce hi s way i nto t h e house. A policeman then came up, who by his desire re moved the defendant. A police constable, D 156, corroborated this statement. The defendant, who denied the charge, was ordered to pay a fine of 505., or be committed to the House of Cor rection for one month. WORSHIP-STREET. A THREAT,-Mr. Graves, a gentleman residing in St. Luke's, was yesterday brought before the sitting Magis trate, Mr. TWYFORD, charged with having threatened to shoot a Mr. Jones. Charles Tavarnor, servant to Mr. Jones, stated that the defendant called on Friday evening at his master's house, and inquired if he was at home ? Witness told him he was not. He then said his master was a rogue, and had been a great enemy to him, and that he would be an enemy to his master. He said also, that if he should meet him out of doors he would blow his brains out with a pistol. " I'll stand waiting (added the defendant) if it's all day for the thief!" Mr. TWYFORD—Was he drunk ? Witness—No : he was in a great passion. Complainant's Solicitor —Are you, Mr. Jones, prepared to say your life is in danger ? Complainant —Certainly. Mr. TwvFono—What's the reason of all this? Solicitor— The defendant had the collecti ng of rents to a consider a bl e amount, but which has been taken from him and given to my client. - Mr. TWYFORD (to the complainant)--The language was certainly enough to frighten any man ; but as he says he was drunk at the time, probably you will be satisfied with his promise to keep away ? Complainant—No ; suppose I had been at home at the time he called, the consequence might have ended seriously. The defendant was ordered to find bail, himself in 601., and two sureties of 301. each. Funzous DRIVING. —William Webb, the driver of the Clapton stage-coach, No. 4,711, was charged with wantonly and furiously driving against another stage-coach, drove by Mr. John Kerryson, who is also proprietor of the same. The complainant stated that on Saturday last both he and the defendant started together from Clapton to town, when the latter thought proper to gallop his horses, and drive:with such violence close alongside his coach, so as to alarm his passengers, notwithstanding there was room enough on his side for three stages to have passed. Had he touched my coach, said witness, the consequence would have been very serious. Several respectable witnesses, who were in the com plainant's coach, said they were all much alarmed, and that the defendant was in the habit of galloping his horses. Mr. TWYFORD—What rate was he driving at ? A wit ness—Fourteen miles an hour. The defendant called his witnesses, but they failed to serve him. He told the magistrate that it was all " spite" on the part of the complainant. He was fined in the mitigated penalty of 255. and costs. Defendant (seating himself under the bar)--I shan't pay a farthing. Mr. TWYFORD—Then your goods will be seized. Have you got any ?—" No, I am single?' Mr. TWYFORD—Then I shall commit you to prison for one month. The defendant was accordingly locked up. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday Edward Hobson, a young man o f decent ap pearance, was finally examined before Mr. Sergeant SEL LON, charged by Mrs. Burnett, of Rose and Crown -court, Moorfields, with having stolen 7/. 3s. 6d. under the follow ing aggravated circumstances It appeared in evidence th a t a short time ago the pri soner was seized with typhus fever, and he was admitted into the Fever Hospital, Battl e -b r id ge. Whilst a patient there he becanie acquainted with ano th er young man , w h o was also a patient, and on quitting the establishment he was recommended by him as a lodger to the prosecutrix, who received him, while in a very weak state, and afforded him every nourishment and attention. On last Monday week she made so me t ea f or t h e pr i soner, an d a ll owed him to drink it in her apartment, and while so doing she incau tiously proceeded to a box containing some sovereigns and silver, for the purpose of taking out some money to pay her rent, and during her temporary absence the prisoner went to the drawer, and stole the box and property, with which he absconded. On discovering the robbery she immedi- ately gave informati on t o police constable Stotter, 11 0 , 0 1 . d division, a n d h av i ng heard the prisoner say that he t he go to his friends at Sheffield or Birmingham, it `true t . officer th a t i t was pro b a bl e h e would go by o ne ot be coaches ; and, on makin g i nqu i ry a t the coach-offices ascertainedscertaed that a pers on answer i ng th e prisoner's de se r te d tion had b oo k e d hi mse lf at t h e B e ll S auvag e by tha 0 0 Rover, M anc h es t er coach and he apprehended the searching hi m h e found i n his pockets 4/. 19 0 . 4 4 , box, and a p urse b e l ong i ng to t h e prosecutr i x .
