SPIRIT (W THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Since the Chamber of Deputies has adjourned its sittings, in order to allow its. numbers to be corn pitted, the journals, which had before a kind of concurrent jurisdiction with the tribune, have erected themselves into its substitute. The boldness with which they decide on public measures, or the au• thnritative tone with which they support or oppose eystems of national policy, is greater , than that of The most violent orators in the Chamber, and pro duces probably a greater effect on the people. But though the journals and the popular branch of the Legislature agree in some respects, in others they widely differ. The Chamber, before its late ad journment, seemed to have been reconciled to the Ministry, and to have cherished the fond hope of a long continuance of its own existence, without a fresh general appeal to the electoral colleges under a modified electoral law. The journals, on the other band, are, for the most part, opposed to both. With very few exceptions, they are as hostile to some of the Ministers of Philip I. as they were to those of Charles X., and clamour as loudly for n dissolution of the present Chamber as they did for that packed with the creatures of M. de Villele. The Govern. ment, in the interest of hs own stability and power, s:ems not to have acquired the least influence over the organs of public opinion by the hie', liberal tribution of places among theiimqr.:Usts. This is the more to be lamented, when the ;mmense influence of the daily press is taken hitt; account. Guaranteed in its uncontrollable freedom I,y the new charter, and worked with the restPjris energy of ambition and faction by the most ardent spirits of the country, it must be too P o `7..erful for any Ministry or any legis lative 'b°d": Even when under comparative re 'lnd°. * it excited such abhorrence against the last d, nasty, that it succeeded in overthrowing it. It sloes not, as in England, follow public opinion —it leads it. It confers popularity or covers with die. grace at ha sovereign pleasure, and often with, little reference to the real merits of the parties. In short, In the present excited state of the public mind, it would be too powerful for the Government or the Chamber, if it continued to direct its assaults upon either or both. How, then, does this ir resistible and irresponsible power of journalism,' view the present Cabinet and the present re presentative Chamber ? In general with distrust and aversion. 7 he Journal des J)el'ats is the only paper which frankly declares for those bodies, and waw:ors to employ their Oil inertia. to arrest the tronement of the revolution. All the other journals or extensive circulation, such as the Conelltutione e e the Courtier Francais, the Journal du Commerce, and the National, support particular members of the Cabinet, but object to its general contexture, land join in demanding a speedy dissolution of the Chamber. The Keeper of the Seals, M. Dupont de flare, the Ministet of War, Marshal Gerard, and M. Latitte (a Cabinet Minister without a port folio), are the objects of their unceasing eulogy ; but Baron Louis, the Minister of Finance, M. Gui got, the Minister of the Interior, M. Dupin, the Duke de Broglie, and General Sebastiani, are no less objects of attack. If we were required to name an orator on the left side, whose talents and eloquence had long defended the constitutional cause, but who now approaches in unpopuhnity the unenvied eminence of M. de Peyroneet himself, we should mention the celebrated advocate M. Du pin. Of all the reputation which he had acquired in the ranks of the old opposition, or in defending the press against the assaults of the Bourbons, he has not brought a shred to the new Cabinet, and we observe many of the popular Journals exerting theme selves to prevent his re-election. Baron Louis has grown too old amid changes of Governments, with. out charging his inclination to serve existing power, to to a favourite with the people, who love eon *latency., The Duke de Broglie is always allowed to be en amiable and enlightened man ; but he is a high-minded Peer, and, moreover, a descendant of the old noblesse. What sympathy can he, there• Dore, have with the Bavoux and Corcelles, who occupy the mountain in the Chamber, or how car . he be appreciated by the interested demegogues who direct the republican portion of the press ? Count Mole has likewise the demerit of being a Peer, a man of family, and an old servant of Duo naparte and the Bourbons. With respect to M. (hint, no objection can be made on the score of ancestry, family connections, or previous official rank ; but lie is considered; a political theorist, little acquainted with practical affairs, and is accused of throwing the minist crial cost tune over the professor's gown, in order to gratify his personal ambition, and to dispense places to his scholastic disciples or literary friends. In all these charges moderate men would find no real objection against the Ministry. Their resistance to a 'sudden change of institutions—their attempt to hang a drag on the wheel of revolution in its downward career —their preservation of good faith with foreign Governments, particularly in abstaining from inter fering in the affairs of Belgium—their endeavours to check the appetite for blood in the lower orders by a mitigation of the penal code--tine by sensible trier' regarded as so many titles to confidence and eateetn. But it is otherwise with the republican party, and the Journals which direct it ; and therefore they loudly demanded n change of councils. The seine unpopularity attaches to the present Chamber of Deputies. It is considered as not having fulfilled its mission, because it did not at once abolish the Chamber Peers,—because it did net vote for a revision of the inagistracy,—because it did riot alter the laws of the Press—because, in fine, it did not pass a radical law of election, arid then retire to make way for a Second National Convention, The Chamber of Peers is always treated with sovereign contempt when it is not thought worthy of more active hostility. " The Poor Chamber of Peens !" seys one of the popular Journals : " nobody thinks of its existence, in spite of the great cause which it will soon be called upon to decide I" " The people," says the same paper—" the people demand that the hereditary titles of the peerage shall be destroyed;—that there shall no longer bean electoral census ;that there shall no longer be shackles on the Press;---that there shall no longer be rich piney ;—that we shall have entire real full liberty as the price of our blood !" ha time midst of these unreasonable diseontente, the apparent conspiracy of the Chamber, the Ministry, and the Court, in the human attempt to cheat the people out of the gratification of their sanguinary vengeance by the premature enactment of a law to save the lives of the Exalqinisters, has extispereted all the p rev i eue causes of di'truut and suspicion.

Much and long as we have had reason to value the eOMMtittiCatiotis of a Dublin friend, a letter from wham will be found in this day's paper, we deeply , regret that his correspondence has thus been re newed, because the *abject of it is no other than a recommencement of Irish troubles, political as well as social.

If poor laws had been established to maintain the nip nails of pauper families at home, or funds been provided to convey them to a railer where 1 elbow-room was more abundant, and rents but trifling, the matter whereon intrigues and disaffec tion had to operate in Ireland, might have been :so reduced as to deprive political contingencies else where of whatever was most formidable in their aspect and their influence, and Belgium might have achieved her separation from Holland, as she did in another century from Spain, without the fear of en gendering mischievous sympathies amongst the bulk of the Trials people. Now, however, it need not be disguised that a q uest i on o f the repeal of the Union has been broached in every part of Ireland,—has met crowds of partisans among all classes of her in habitants,—is pushed with characteristic activity, subtlety, and success, by Mr. O'Connell and a crowd of indefatigable coadjutors,—and must of ne cessity move onwards to a crisis which, skilfully or rashly seized, will perpetuate the United Kingdom or destroy it. 8o much is wrong in the relations between rich and poor in Ireland, that every evil, however remote from those relations, may neverthe leg, be brought to bear upon them, and insensibly to aggravate their pressure. So a multitude exas perated by hunger may hope that every approach to change will tend to alleviate the pangs which over power them; and problems, which perplex the minds of Statesmen, may thus come to be deter mined by the empty stomachs of the poor. We beg to repeat, that in our bumble opinion too much attention cannot be bestowed by the King's Minis ters and by Parliament on the nature and progress of this growing spirit on the other side of the Channel; nor can measures too early or too decided be employed for the frustration of itsobject.—Tintes. We have received a variety of communications from Belgium, from the most respectable sources, agreeing in the main points—that there is the strongest disposition among all influential persons to obtain for their country the blessing of tranquillity, with as little delay as possible. As far as we can judge, there does not seem to be the slightest foundation for the charges brought by a contem porary (the Times), that De Potter and his col leagues have not been all along sincerely desir ous of a speedy arrangement of all differences. In that Paper, of yesterday, we are told that," Ever since the resistance of the people of Brussels to the King's troops, and the establishment of a Provi sional Government in the persons of De Potter and Co., the Belgic nobility, the members of the States- General, and other persons of rank, have ceased to take any part in public affairs. They may have joined in the desire of no administration distinct from that of Holland, but that is almost the only point in which they concur with the present pos sessors of supreme power. They have therefore kept aloof from the ruling Junta, and have shown a strong disposition to make ass arrangement with the Prince of Orange, by which they might at once secure the independence of the nation and their own personal weight in the new state. Several of them have remained at Antwerp with the Prince, and 'others have declined taking any side in a contest so un certain." And, moreover, " Neither a French nor a republican Government could give the Belgic church so great hopes of maintaining its power as the Government of a domestic Prince. It may, therefore, be inferred that the privileged orders I will be strongly inclined to the accession of the ' Prince of Orange, whatever may be the inclinations of De Potter and Co. towards a republic." Now all the accounts we have received concur in representing De Potter to have been from the first anxious to ob tain the Government for the son of the Prince of Orange (giving the guardianship to the father), on terms which would secure the liberties of the people. Whatever notions De Potter may entertain with re spect to the comparative advantages and disadvan tages of different Uovernments—as be is allowed to possess in no ordinary degree ability and discern ment—he would consider in a conjuncture like the prement, what, under all circumstances, would be most eligible at the present moment. We repeat it ,we do not believe there is the slightest founda tion for supposing De Pot ter is riot labouring in all sin cerity fora settlement of the government on the Duke of Brabant. The following letter is from a gentle man of great influence in Brussels " Brussels, I litit October. r « r " Cartwright goes to Frankfort, never to return here, (rust. Politically, every thing remains much as it has been for dome time, and as it will probably remain till the Congress meets. The party for the Prince, or rather for his ►on, gets daily stronger. The citadel of Yost has not surrendered, nor Antwerp nor Maestricht. Deserters are coining to ❑s in shoals. Privately, it is said, the Dutch wish to gut quit of all the Belgians. They will want, for their own proservation, both men and troops. We are so well supplied with artillery and military stores, that we have no fear of any farther attacks." in our Brussels correspondence, via Paris, it is said that the French deem the Belgians ill-advised in not clearing their country of the Dutch before proceeding to constitutional waters'. We should say so too, if we did not think the King of 116 Hand will see the utter hopelessness of overcoming the re luctance of the Belgians to connect themselves with the Dutch, and that all further effusion of blood may thus be avoided. We shall give to-morrow a letter from, a gentleman of influence in Antwerp, on the state of afra;rs in Belgium. According to this gen tleman, the great obstacle in the way of an arrange ment €1 rantiable is the King, who will riot consent to resign Belgium. He thinks the Cabinet of Eng land ought to endeavour to bring the old man to reason, as it is for the interest of England that Bel gium should have a Government to which the people might be attached ; HO that they might not feel disposed to throw themselves at any time into the arms of any other Power. He thinks the English Press ought to atone for the mischief some English Journals have done to Belgium, by encouraging the King in his errors,--Morning Chronicle?.

COUNTERFEIT GOLD.—A German, Dr. 1 - leauBTan, has discovered a mixture of metals, which is not only of the colour of real gold, but also possesses its lmina*, all its ductility, and the same specific weight. The inventor, hoWeVer, does not assert that it is as tin. ebangeablo as gold; and there Can - be no doubt that if he had - met with that quality in it he would not have failed to mention it; for in that case he would have toned the secret which has been so long and so vainly sought by the alehymist. This material is thus composed —Out of twenty-four parts, equal in weight, there are sixteen of platina, seven of pure capper, and one of pure zinc ; this is to be covered with powdered charcoal, and placed in a crucible, on a strong fire, until the fusion has reduced the threteinto one mese, which will be the said counterfeit gold.—Journal des Connalsianees Usuelles. EXTRAORDINARY..

She was lying elf Princess Stair Pier, Itotherhithe, exactly opposite the Thames Police.office, and about an hour and a half before high water her head moorings gave way, and the vessel swung round the flood, tide, and being light, her cargo' of coals having beers discharged on the previous day, she turned gradually over on the starboard side towards Wap: ping, anti went down. At the time of the accident the ' crew were on board, but they all escaped. The vessel came right athwart the bows of the other ships in the pier, without doing any damage, although several were under the necessity of slackening their moorings, and warping up with the tide. The greatest consternation prevailed when the:, ship went down, and the Thames Police-boats, by order of the Magistrates (who were greatly alarmed, and observed the accident from the Bench), put off, and rendered assistance. By two o'clock nearly 490 small boats were around the vessel, and chain-lighters were em ployed during the day to weigh her, list at a late hour the ship was not got up.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Benjamin Priec, one of the new polioemen, was brought up as a prisoner yesterday beforo Mr. Al derman COPELAND, charged with assaulting three of the watchmen of St. Andrew's, Holborn. In answer to questions from Sir PETER LAURIE, who was present accidentally, the constable of the night, as well as the watchmen, stated that the pri soner was drunk and abusive. Mr. Tilney, a wine -merchant, in Castle -street, as he was reading overheard an altercation in the street arising from the watchman ordering the other party to go on, officiously and impertinently as it seemed to him. From the prisoner's voice he judged him to be sober, but he was so ill-treated afterwards that he was senseless for a quarter of en hour after he reached the watch-house. He was dragged along in au unmerciful manner, and Symonds gave him two violent blows on the body with his staff. He went to the watch-house to represent the shameful con duct of the watchmen; and after he had stated what he saw, the watchmen hustled and thrust him out of the watch-house, with such violence as to wound his head, by flinging him against a brick-wall, and the constable of the night sanctioned this behaviour. Mr. Cooke, of Dyer's-buildings, jeweller, on hear ing the rattle went out and found the watchmen dragging the prisoner along, and one of them struck him violently about the legs, although he was so beset as to be incapable of provoking or resisting such treatment. The conduct,of the watchmen was quite brutal, and they evidently thought there was glory in locking up a policeman. Sir PETEtt asked whether the policeman was drunk 2—Mr. Cooke thought he had taken a glass of grog : be was not perfectly sober, but he was not drunk. His companion was certainly drunk, and they both fell into the kennel together. The prisoner declared he was sober, though, being off duty, he had been out with his friend, who was intoxicated. He had been much ill-used. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said, there being no evidence to satisfy him that the prisoner was the original offender, he should discharge him ; and if he had been maltreated, as he apprehended be had, he hoped he would make an example of the watch men. The conduct of the constable of the night, in suffering a respectable inhabitant of the parish to be so shamefully thrust about by the watchmen, was disgraceful in the extreme, and he recommended Mr. Tilney to indict the parties who had assaulted him. BOW.STREET. Yesterday Mr. Charles Kemble came to this office for the purpose of answering any charge which Mr. Westmacott might prefer against him, and having sent in his name to Mr. HALLS, stated that he was willing to attend him then, or whenever his presence should be required, adding, that he was not quite sure whether the Magistrate had mentioned Monday or Tuesday morning for hearing the case. Mr. HALLS desired the clerk to say to Mr. Kemble, that he had specified no time for the hearing, and certainly until some person should come forward to make a charge against Mr. Kemble, he (Mr. Halls) should not trouble him to come forward. If, how ever, any party should apply for a warrant against Mr. Kemble, or should charge him with an assault, that gentleman would undoubtedly be summoned to meet the complainant. Mr. Kemble then retired, and in the course of the day Mr. Thomas came forward, and said that he had received a message from Mr. Westmacott, stating that he was too 111 , from the effects of the injuries he had received, to appear against Mr. Kemble that day. Mr. HALLS asked Mr. Thomas how it was, as he had witnessed the assault, that he had not brought both parties to the office at once, which would have saved a great deal of unnecessary trouble. Mr. Thomas explained, that he came to the box ' lobby in time to witness the latter part of the assault, but he was not present at its co►nrncncement. Ile immediately went forward and prevented Mr. Kemble from repeating his blows. Mr. Kemble then desisted, and upon leaving the lobby retired to the stage through a private door, and he (Mr. Thomas) was obliged to remain to protect Mr. Westmacott from the anger of several gen►lemen who were present, and who appeared extremely willing to add to the punishment he had received. As soon, however, as he (Mr. Thomas) saw Mr. Westntacott in safety from the theatre, with the un derstanding that he was proceeding to Bow -street, he went to Mr. Kemble, and asked him to accom pany him beforb the Magistrate, to which Mr. Kemble replied that he had not the smallest objection. Mr. Haus observed, that this explanation was quite sufficient, Mr. Thomas had done perfectly right to prevent any further breach of the peace. Several gentlemen professionally connected with the theatres came to the dice in the course of the morning to make inquiries with respect to the transaction. The general impression is, that the affair will be allowed to blow over, from a dis-relish on the part of Mr. Westmacott to court a public in vestigation. Two young men of gentlemanly appearance, who gave their mimes IlcrtrJ Howell and Henry Cooper, were charged with having created a riot at the corner of Norfolk -street, in the Strand, and also with having assaulted Tipper, a police-constable of F division, while in the execution of his duty. Tipper explained, that between twelve and One o'clock on Sunday morning, he heard the cry of " police," and immediately ran to the corner of Norfolk -street, where lie saw 10 or 12 gentlemen quarrelling and shoving each other about. The de fendant Howell was in the midst of them flourish- ing two naked swords, holding one in each hand. Fearing that some mischief would ensue, he (Tipper) closed upon the defendant and succeeded in taking the swords from him, in doing which he received a blow on the shoulder from one of them, and if he had not rushed in upon the defendant so quickly, he felt quite sure that he (the defendant) would have run him through the body, as he appeared to be mad drunk and determined upon mischief. In taking the defendant Howell to the police-station, the defend ant Cooper abused and struck him, and he also caused him to be detained. _ _ The constable here produced the swords, both of which were of formidable dimensions. The defendant Howell explained that he had hem dining with some friends on Saturday evening, and unfortunately drank too much wine. On their way home a dispute arose about some trifling matter, and, scarcely knowing what he did, he ran home and procured the swords, he owned with the inten tion of settling the dispute by fighting a duel with one of the gentlemen by whom he had been opposed in argument. The constable said that the gentlemen had guar. relied about tl►e French revolution. Mr. HALLS asked the defendant Howell if he be longed to any business or profession. Defendant— I belong to no profession, Sir : I am a gentleman. Mr. HALLS, glancing at the naked weapon, ob 'served, that he appeared to have taken up the pro fession of arms at a very ominous period, and ad vised him to adopt a more peaceable calling. Defendant--I assure yon, Sir, that I have as great an objection as any man possibly can have to be run through the body; and now that I am in my sober senses, I am surprised how I could have thought of placing myself in a situation to receive a thrust from a piece of cold iron.—(Laughter.) Mr. HALLS ordered loth the defendants to find bail, and commended Tipper for his spirited conduct in taking the swords from the hands of the defending The prisoners were then locked up for want of sureties, and the swords were ordered to be detained, Three elderly women, named itndrews, Donovan, and Green, who lied been employed at the work house of St. Mart'n's-in-the-Field s as nurses, to at tend upon the sick poor, were chirged with having stolen u variety of articles for the use of the poor, and also with having robbed some of the dying pau pers upon whom they attended. The defendants Andrews and Donovan were seen by a sick pauper, named Ellen Jenkins, ap propriating various articles to their own use. The witness said she frequently .saw Andrew, take tea and sugar from poor patients, end instead of making them a comfortable cup of tea, they would warm up some cold stuff and give it to the patients, and they would then lock up the tea a nd sugar and keep it for their own use. On one occasion, the witness said, she saw Andrews rob a dying woman, named John son, of her tea and au gur, and before the breath was out of her body, she went to her pockets and stole her money. A large quantity of soap was produced, which was found by Mr. Smith, the master of the workhouse, in the boxes of Andrews and Donovan, and identified by himself as the property of the ps rish, together with 45 caps and other articles. Mr. Rawlings, clerk and solicitor to the overseers, said, that on a late occasion, when the visiting surgeon, Mr. Gosling, ordered some wine to a poor woman in the lust stage of consumption, the women at the bar drank it. Mr. HALLS, after remarking upon the inhuman conduct of the prisoners, ordered Andrews and Do novan to be sent to the House of Correction for a period of two months. The woman Green was discharged, the principal evidence against her being a poor woman who is bedridden. QUEEN.SQUAtE. Yesterday John Lawton was brought up for final examination, charged on suspicion of stealing from the dwelling-house of Mr. Edward Cowley, of No. 11, Cadogan•street, Chelsea, an opera-glass, formerly belonging to Marshal Dumont, and an an tique gold ring. Mr. Wooler attended for the prisoner. Mr. Cowley said that he had no further evidence to offer against the prisoner, nor could It. trace the property, and h e mu s t therefore abandon the charge of robbery. He would, however, charge the pri soner with aiding and abetting his master, who styled himself the lion. Adolphus Frederick Montmorency O'Brien Prendeville, by courtesy ealled Lord Glen cairn, in swindling him out of turns of money, clothes, and board: even the very clothes the pri• toner had on his back he Aave him 11. to 'pay for, supposing his master was the man he represented himself to be. Mr. OREGORIE desired Mr. Cowley to state what connexion there was between the Hon. Adolphus, &c. and the prisoner. Mr. Cowley said that about the 10th of October last the prisoner's master, as he appeared, was in troduced to him, when be told him a long story of his misfortunes, and his present want of cash; he had taken a great part in the late French Revolu tion, and had been opposed to the family of Mont morency in France, and he was fearful of being given up to the present French Government. Among►t his numerous titles he said he was a titu lar 'White knight of Ireland, and that his family name was O'Brien. He also said that he had left his horses, which had come from Overton-hall, in Denbighshire, the seat of his nunt, Mrs. Evans, at a livery-stable in Bryenston-street, and they were knocked up. So well did he tell his story, that he believed him, and he•got into his debt for clothes, money, and diet, about 601., and then absconded. Mr. GREGORIE asked him if he could prove that he was not the person he represented himself to be 2—Mr. Cowley said that there was a gentleman of the name of Westall, who lived near the Man sion -house,' who was served a similar trick by the prisoner's master about two years ago, and who mentioned the circumstance to him. Mr. GREGORIE asked why he continued to supply him with money after being cautioned?--Mr. Cowley said that Mr. \Vestal' merely considered him to have acted in an ungrateful manner : he did not take it in the same light as he did. Mr. GREGoutE—But it appears you were cad tinned ? Mr. Cowley—Yes, but Mr. Westall con sidered him a very entertaining man,and was fond of his company. He is certainly a man of great in formation : he can speak all the European languages, and also all the Asiatic languages. It further appeared from Mr. Cowley's statement that the prisoner's master had represented himself as a writer in " Blackwood's Magazine," under the signature of Donaghne; that he had written a poem called the " Shipwreck," and , was the author of two novels, one called the " 13roken Heart," and the other " First Love," and that he was at present en gaged on a work called the " History of Persia," which was to be written in the Persian language. The prisoner at the bar had confirmed all his master's statemcnts,which induced him to advance the money, thinking it would all be right. Mr. GRE4101111: said, that if he hail looked in Dcbretes Peerage he wouid have found out his mistake. Mr. Cowley said • it was no wonder he was de ceived, for the lion. Augustus, &c., had deceived cleverer men than be : he had imposed upon the keeper of the British Museum, and got a free ad mission there for six months, and that morning he had received a letter from a tradesman, stating that the prisoner had obtained goods from him on the representation he had made about his master: all he %ranted was to find out the Hon. Mr. Augustus, &c. Mr. GREGORIE did not think he could make ont a case against the prisoner, and he must therefore discharge him. A genteel -looking young man was in attendance, who had seen a report of the first part of the pro ceedings in some of the newspapers, who said that there were a number of charges against the prisoner's master at Calais, where he had been imprisoned. During the time he was there he was very ill, or pretended to be so, and made his will. He left the young man SOU and a castle in England, which he desired him to take possession of immediately on his decease; and be also left considerable sums of money to persons he got acquainted with at Calais. MARLIJOBOUGILSTREET. A householder in the parish of St. James appeared before Mr. Ron, thi sitting Magistrate, to answer a summons served upon him by the parish authorities, to show cause why he refused to pay a sum due by him for poor -rate.; and in answer to the demand the defendant said, that owing to great losses he had sustained in business and consequent embarras. ment, he was driven lately to the necessity (having been arrested and thrown into a prison for debt) of taking the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, and the amount of rate now demanded having been due at the time he petitioned the Insolvent Court, he had that debt inserted with all his other debts in his schedule, and consequently having been die• charged from that as : well as from all his o t her d e b ts , the parish had,no claim upon him. The Magistrate said, that if tharate were not paid, and that the collector applied for a warrant of dis tress to enforce it, he (Mr. Roe) had no power to refuse it. The collector most undoubtedly should apply for a distress warrant, unless the rate should be paid within a given time, for he should insist on the payment. The - defendant still expressed his determination to resist the payment, having, he said, both law and justice on his side, and with this determination he quitted the office. Yesterday, Jeremiah Foy, apparently about 35 years of age, and dressed as it labourer, was brought up on a warrant, which had been granted against him gratuitously by 11. DvEu, Eui., and charged with violating the person of Mary Croley, a poor Irish girl, about sixteen years of age. The prosectstrix and prisoner reside next dcor to each other, in Angel -court, king -street, Soho, and from the evidence of the former, it appeared that on the night of Tuesday last the prisoner followed the girl into an outhouse, where he committed the offence. On some one coming into the yard for a pitcher of water, the prisoner made a precipitate retreat. Mr. ROE inquired of the girl if she had' stated the nature of the offence to any other person ? The prasecutrix t who was a long time before she could comprehend the Magistrate's question, at length said that she had told her rnstress, but not before the latter had interrogated her upon the sub ject, which the mistress did In consequence of the woman who heard the prosecutrix scream and saw the man retreat, making her acquainted with that fact. Mr. Rou asked the girl bow it was she had not come to the office sooner, or informed any persoltel the affair until actually interrogated by her mistress? The prosecutrix repUed that she was ashamed to tell any one of the circumstance. The prisoner, on being asked what he had to sl' exclaimed—" Oh, faith, it was not me a 41411.1; it was Tim O'Donnelly." - Mr. Ron said that there Rasa strong atairPon against the prisoner; but as there might bi aOw tion of doubt as to identity, be should remised him until to-morrow (this day), in order that 'hots tendance of the woman who was said to hoer into the yard at the time of the occurrence saight be obtained.
