Mr. Alien, of Carlisle-street, prosecuted on the part of the authorities of St. James's parish, and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough street, defended. Mr. Arnold, after the sergeant had states that defendants were the persons named in the warrant, ordered the male defendant to find two sureties in £4O each, and the woman to find two in £2O each, to appear at the sessions, Sophia Myers, refreshment house keeper, of 42, Great Windmill-street, and Henry Nicholls, same address, were also charged with keeping a brothel at 42, Great Windmill street. Sergeant Appleton having identified the defendants as those named in the warrant, Mr. Arnold ordered the female to find two sureties in £2O each, and the man two in £lO each, to appear at the sessions. The Poor-Law Board and Bethual•green, Last night, at the weekly meeting of the Board of Guar dians of Bethnal-green--Mr. Howard in the chair—the clerk to the Board read a very important document from the Poor-law Board, with reference to the recent inquiries into th 4 ohaigei against Dr. Moore, and into the alleged death froth starvation of Sarah Dove. The following comprises the most material portions of the leiter : " FOor .law Board, Whitehall, March 28, 1834. " Sir,—l am directed by the Pocr-lawßoard to inform the guardians of the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, that the Board have received the report of their inspector, Mr. Lambart, after the recent inquiry into the several charges preferred against Dr, ElWard Moore, one of the medical cheers of the parish, and they have carefully con sidered the voluminous evidence adduced oa that occasion. " The first charge brought underthe notice of the board is that of neglect of duty in the cases of Elizabeth Mandrill and her two children, Joseph and James. " With respect to Mrs. Mandrill herself, the Board find that Dr, Moore visited her in the afternoon of the day on which he received the medical order; and although he did not see her again for 10 days afterwards, it is evident from her own admission that she was out every day in the mean time, and when ho went to see her after having been sent for at the expiration of that period, he found her not at her own home, but at her daughter's house, without bonnet or shawl. It does not appear that any inconvenience would have been caused to Mrs. Mandrill by her goira, - ; to Dr. Moore'a house, and the hoard are of opinion, therefore, that Dr Moore cannot be considered as guilty of neglect iu having omitted to visit her during the interval in question. "The substance of the complaint of Mrs. Mandrill in re gard to the child Joseph is, that Dr. Moore only visited him five times in four weeks of his illness, and that when she went to him on a Friday (two days before the child's death) and said he was very ill, Dr. Moore refused to visit him then, and did not do so until the following afternoon. The documentary evidence showed that the order was given on the 15th August, 18G3." The letter then recited the evidence in this case, and then arrived at the conclusion that Dr. Moore was not chargeable with neglect. The case of James Mandrill was recited in a similar manner, and the board considered that Dr. Moore was open to censure in having given a certificate for the re moval of the deceased to the workhouse without having seen him on the morning on which death took place. The charge preferred against Dr. Moore of employing a midwife to attend labour cases instead of doing so himself depends mainly on the evidence of Mrs. North ; but in the four individual instances adduced it appears that Mrs. North was sent for by the women themselves, and there is no proof that he requested or instructed her to attend for him. After going through the evidence adduced in support of - - this charge, the letter proceeded to notice that after Mrs, North had made her complaint to the guardians and pend ing investigation, Dr. Moore addressed to her a letter written under a feigned signature and addressed in a disguised hand, stating that some ladies were about to establish a lying-in hospital, and offering her a situation therein if Dr. Moore would become security for her. The letter was purely fic titious, and Dr. Moore's only explanation was that he wished to get her to his house so that before credible witnesses he, cauld remonstrate with her. The Poor.law Board regarded this explanation as being extremely unsatisfactory, the letter being an unworthy subterfuge. "The allegation of getting up unnecessary inquests for the purpose of degrading the parish must be limited to the case of the child Sarah Ward, as there was no proof at the in quiry that the doctor had communicated with the coroner either directly or indirectly as to the death of any other person. Ira the case referred to Dr. Moore called upon the coroner and told him that the death had nof been occasioned by any specific disease, and both the coroner and jury appear to have been satisfied that the inquest was necessary. " It must be remarked, however, that the verdict of the jury was founded npon the result of the post. mortem exa mination by Dr. Moore himself; and with reference to the statement made to the coroner in the first instance by Dr, Moore, that there was no specific disease, the attention of the Board has been drawn to an obliteration in the medical relief-book, from which there is reason to suppose that the disease was, in the first instance, entered as scarlatina. " The Board are of opinion that this obliteration, in con nexion with other circumstances, is calculated to excite grave suspicions, and such as rendered inquiry necessary." After referring to the charge of making extraordinary claims for vaccination fees, of which Dr. Moore was ac quitted, it was remarked that the careless and improper manner that the entries were made in the books excited sus picion, The Board then proceeded to notice a similar charge with regard to medical fees. No proof had been adduced that in any specific case the claims were improperly made, and the Board found that in every difficult case another medical practitioner was consulted. The Board held that Dr. Moore was entitled to the extra fees claituci by him. In alluding to the charge of bringing contempt upon the board of guar dians by public appeals to charity, the Board referred to the case of Sarah Branstone, tnd eimsured him for appeal- ing to the public in place of applying to the guardians. V ilh respect to the charge of ntglecting and refusing to enter the attendance of his substitute in red ink, pursuant to the general consolidated order, the Board find that on March 7, 1861, the guardians requested Dr. Moore by letter co be careful to comply with this important requisition, Dr. Moore's explanation they regretted they could not receive as consistent with the facts. " It is not necessary that the Board should express an opinion with reference to all the subordinate charges against Dr. Moore, but they cannot avoid alluding to a paragraph in a letter published by him on 21 st Oat. last, in which he speaks of the guardians as 'unblushing and mendacious slan dwei r t h e r st h.'afeeling Epithets of such mutualas these confidence are o b obviously should existy incompaCble between the guardians and Dr Moore as one of their medi cal officers, and the board are unable to find that they are in any way justified by the evidence cf the inquiry." After adverting to the evasive manner in which Dr Moore had answered Mr Giffard, in his cross examination upon a of l i fe . Whilst, therefore the husband's point connected with his qualification in the y ear 1812 , t h e board proceeded to speak of the case of Sarah D ove at great length, a nd went through the evidence — w hi c h has been recently published in the reports of the inqu es t— at t h e P oor law inquiry before Mr P ar nell. The board censure d D r Moore for having omitted five days t o order the relieving officer to supply the necessary nourishment t o th e woman. "Another circumstance mentioned by D r M oore i n ex tenuation of his conduct is, that he had reason to believe that Sarah Dove's husba nd w as at work. Wi t h respect to this point the board thin k it r ight to state th a t it i s shown by the evidence that Jam es Do ve, the husb an d, h as not b een without employment for the last three ye ars , an d i n the last 55 weeks of that period h e has received up on an average at least ifs per week ; that for th ree weeks b e f ore hi s wife ' s alloW n ed SahtiusrwdaifYoB to pine away and - y death he received 2 s pe r week in addition f rom a c h ar i ta bl e lady, and that during the last w inter he obt a i ne d c h ar i ly from other sources. I t a pp ears, however , that he has been in h Sundays, and the result is thathabit he necessariesdrinkingfor want of e s were such as to depriveresourc him of any title to paro chial relief, and while it is equally certain th at he must be r thet e t f e has held responsible for the slow starvation of his wife, it must be borne in mind that it was with the actual condition of the deceased that Dr Moore had to deal; and if he found her, as no doubt she was, destitute of the nourishment and other comforts requisite for the proper treatment of the case, it was his duty to have given the usual re commendation for those necessaries,lwithout delay. " The Board consider that in this instance Dr Moore was guilty of very serious neglect of duty; and having regard to the several circumstances affecting h is oonduct eats blished against him at the first inquiry, and u to the resolu tion passed by the guardians that they had lost all confi dence in him, the Board feel that they have no alternative consistent' Witt - their public duty, but to req u i re him to re sign his present office.—l am, sir, yours, & c., (Signed) "H, FLEDdiNG, Secretary." This letter having been read, the board of guardians passed to the consideration of another letter which had been received from the Poor-law Board, calling. their attention to a charge against Mr. Bondman, the relieving officer, that he had rudely pushed his way into a room where a woman had just been confined, an d roughly refused to give anyyelief to the family or a coffin to bury the deceased child, saying that they were a set of paupers and imposters, and he would lock them up. This case was adjourned. THE YOUTHFUL RAJAH OF ULWAH (RaiPOOt&MI) is expected in London. COURT CEREMONIAL OF THE ASSYRIANS. There can be uo doubt that itinhpeosCinog.u.rt The monarch of the Assyrians was stately and seems indeed not to have affected that privacy and seclusion which forms a predominant feature of the ceremonial observed in most Oriental monarchies. Ile showed hi m _ self very freely to his subjects on many occasions. Ile superintended in person the accororliehment of his great works. In war and in the chose he rode it, open chariot, never using a litter, though litters were net unknown to the Assyrians. In his expeditions he would often descend from his chariot, and march or fight on foot like the meanest of his subjects. But though this familiarising the multitude with his features and appearance, he was far from allowing familiarity of address. Both in peace and war he was attended by various officers of state, and no one had speech of him except through ;em. It wculd CV:3II 2 , e - em as if two persons only were en- titled to open a conversation with him—the vizier and the chief eunuch. When he received them, he generally placed himself uron his throne, sitting, while they stood to ad dress him. It is strongly indicative of the haughty pride of these sovereigns, that they carried with them in their dis tant expeditions the cumbrous thrones whereon they were wont to sit when they dispensed justice or received homage. On these thrones they sat, in or war their fortified camps, when the battle or th e s i ege wa s ended, and thus s it t i ng they received in state the spoil and the prisoners. Behind them on such occasi o n s were the two fan-bearers, whil e near at hand were guards, scribes, grooms, and other att en d ants. In their palace halls undoubtedly the ceremonial used was stricter, grander, and more imposing. The sculptures, how ever, furnish no direct evidence on this point, for there is thing to mark the scene of the great proceasiopai pieces.-- J au Ancient Nollarefiiff.

CASTLETOWN, ISLE OF MAN, March 27. Last night at 20 minutes to 7 o'clock (reports Mr. H. C. Gill) a messenger came to me from Port St. Mary, stating that a schooner had been struck by a squall off Port Iron, and was then lying on her beam-ends disabled, and requesting the lifeboat of the National Institution might be sent off to her. We decided that the most speedy way would be to take the boat overland, and accordingly we procured six horses and got off by 7 o'clock. The distance from Castletown to Port Iron is five miles. When we arrived at the latter place we were assured that the schooner had gone down about two hours previously, but as this information was supposed to be doubtful, and as the people strongly urged the propriety of sailing the boat on the chance of pick ing up some of the crew who might still be floating, even if the vessel had gone down, the boat was launched by five minutes past 8. I accompani e d the men, and took with me the harbour-mapAer of Port St. Mary to point out the position near as might be where the vessel had last hew:, seen. We went out in a north-westerly direcv.ion for about 4 miles and a half; the wind blowing strongly from the N.W., and there being a very heavy sea• on. In fact, it was such a sea as lam convinced no boat but a lifeboat could have existed in many minutes. We then cruised about the track which it was sup posed the schooner or her crew might bo on for about an hour, showing a light, and looking out in all directions, but without any success. The boat's head was then turned towards the Calf of Man, which we rounded, still being, as our crew thought, on a favourable tract—a strong tide having set in in that direction sufficient to carry along any wreck or floating body. All our efforts, however, were in vain,and we were obliged to return without having effected any good. We first took the boat into Port St. Mary, where we arrived about 12 o'clock, hoping to find the carriage and horses there. In this we were mistaken; they had re turned to Castletown. And after the men had been hospitably entertained by one of the inhabitants, they rowed the lifeboat home td Castletown, where they arrived shortly after two o'clock this morn ing. I regret to have to relate a tale of such ill success, but the men did everthing in their power s and exhibited a degree of patience, perseverance, and bravery, such as asto nisned me. 'Tay sly their boat is beyond all praise. I have ascertained th:..t the schooner in question was the Vixen, of Peel, in this island, John Sacs burg, meter. Crew of five men, and captain's wife on board, from Bordeaux to Belfast, with Indian corn, in bulk. She called into Port St. Mary, about two o'clock yesterday, to take the master's wife on board. It is stated today, and beyond all doubt that the vessel and all her crew went down. This valuable lifeboat was instrumental on the 11th inst. during a heavy gale of wind in saving four persons from the smack WatorLilly, the vessel soon afterwards becoming a total wreck. Altogether the lifeboat has within the last six years rescued 27 shipwrecked persons. Factory Acts Extension Bill. A bill has been introduced by her Majesty's Government for the extension of the Factory Acts to certain trades not included in the previous acts, but in which children, young persons, and women are employed.

SUDDEN DEATII OF ONE OF THE PERFORMERS AT THE NEW ROYALTY THEATRE,—Lest night, about 10 o'clock, Mr henry Seymour, one of the performers at the New Royalty Theatre, suddenly expired on the stage. It appears that it was the deceased's that appearance at the theatre, and while walking from the front of the stage to the back, during the performance of the new burlesque of the " Woman at the Wheel," he fell down in a fit. Assist ance was promptly rendered the deceased--Dr Rogers, of Dean-street, being at the time in the pit of the theatre—hut it was of n-) avail, the deceased having ceased to exist, The wife of the deceased, it is stated, was in the pit at the time, but was only made conscious of the melancholy event by the loud calls of the audience for the "miller," the part her husband was taking. The body of the decreased was removed to the dead house of St Ann's to await an inquest. MAKING BAD WORSE. — A Parisian portrait painter, having painted the portrait of a lady, a critic who had just dropped in to see what was going on exclaimed, "It is very nicely painted--hut why did you take such an ugly model ?" "It is my mother," calmly replied the artist. " Oh, pardon, a thousand times," from the critic in the greatest confusion. "You are right—l ought to have perceived it. She resembles you com pletely."

WESTMINSTER. A LADY'S LIFE PLACED IN IMMINENT DANGER.—IIew Walker was charged with being drunk while driving a horse and cart, doing damage, and placing the life of a lady in very imminent danger. Police-constable 133 B said that at a quarter past 10 last night he found the defendant drunk and incapable of tak ing care of his horse and cart in the high road at Knights bridge. At the time witness came up defendant was standing on the footway .near his cart. Mr Tyrwhitt—What was the damage he did ? Witness—He smashed a cab all to pieces. Mr Tyrwhict—Was there any passenger in the cab ? Witness—Passengers inside, and also one on the box with the driver. They were all placed in the most im minent peril. The cab-driver is here to state the circum stances of the case. Alfred Wigan said—l was going by Albert-gate last night when a buss pulled up in front of me for a passenger, and I was going by when this man came right from the other side of the road, and pulled right on to me on the wrong side of the road. Mr. Tyrwhitt—What was the effect of this? Witness—My cab was smashed up, and a lady much injured and nearly killed. Mr. Tyrwhitt How was that ? Witness —I had just taken up a party of five persons to convey to Kensington, and had one of them, a lady, outside the cab, It was the greatest mercy that she escaped. One of the shafts of the cart shaved her dress, and bad it gone an inch more in one direction must have driven her right through the cab. Mr. Tyrwhiit—ln what condition was the defendant ? Witness—He was very drunk and on his wrong side. The lady is here to say what happened to her. Mrs. Elizibeth Cook—My mouth is so much hurt by a blow I received that I can hardly speak. We were going through Knightsbridge last night when on a sudden this cart came upo❑ us. Mr. Tyrwhitt—What injuries did you receive ? Witness—The shaft jumped up and struck mo on the side of the head—it then fell a little and glancing down my body did my clothes great damage. Mr. T)rwhitt—What was the damage ? Witness—The shaft tore my silk dress to pieces—(dress produced), and my flannel petticoats and other things were dragged off lily my back by the shaft of the cart. Mr. Tyrwhitt--Who was to blame? Witness—Not the cabman; he was driving properly. The other man came upon him on a sudden. Defendant— I was not the person to blame more than the cabman. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt was really the greatest mercy that something fatal did not result from defendant's misconduct. He is fined 40s. for the offence, or will .. be imprisoned one month ; 40s, damage to the lady's dress, or one month, and ho had better settle for the damage done to the cab, or a summons will be issued against him. THAMES. A MOST ARTFUL YOUNG TBlFF.—Amolia Bull, a vsry wicked girl, about 13 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing two half-crowns from a woman named Eliz tbeth Carrs, the wife of William Carrs, of No. 7, George-street, Limehouse. The prosecutor was at a shop in Market-street, Stepney, on Saturday night last, making some purchases. The pri soner was standing close to her on the right side, and was bargaining with the shopkeeper for a chemise. When Mrs. Carrs reached home she missed two half-crowns from her purse. The woman was astounded. She had not missed her purse in the shop, nor had she felt any hand in her pocket. There was some other silver in her purse which was not touched. The prisoner would most probably have remained undiscovered if she had not boasted to some of her girlish acquaintances that she had taken a purse out of a lady's pocket in a haber dasher's shop on Saturday night, stolen ss. from it, and returned it to the lady's pocket again without her discover ing her loss. The prisoner's boastings came to the know • ledge of Mr. and Mrs. Carrs, and they gave information to the police. The prisoner was arrested last night by Wm. Paple, a police-constable, No. 288 K, at the house of her parents, in White Horse-street, Stepney. She admitted having stolen the two half-crowns, and said she had spent 2s. of the money and returned 3s. to the constable. The constable sail the prisoner was a most dexterous young thief, and repeated complaints had been made at the station by people who had been robbed by her, but who did not like to prosecute her on account of her tender years. She robbed her father sometime ago of two sovereigns, and was brought before Mr Woolrych, who admonished her, and, at the solicitation of her father, discharged her. She then made the most solemn promises of amendment, but she had committed many robberies since. The prisoner —Please your worship, if you will let me go I wilt not do so any more. Mr. Paget said, unfortunately the prisoners promises were worth nothing. She was a dangerous girl, and too artful in wickedness to be at large. He would consider what was to be done with her. At present she would be remanded for a week. THE REPUBLICAN NERO FIDDLING WHILE ROME BURNS.—" What cares old Abe !" (exclaims Manhattan), he jokes and laughs as hearty as ever. At his reception one evening last week in the White House the negroes were as thick as blackberries in Jersey. Among them was a coloured barber named Burke ; he was an ap plicant for an office in the New York Custom-house. The President requested him to call and take breakfast with him the next morning. Burke did so. Atter the meal, when they were alone, the President slapped him upon his knee in a friendly manner, and said, Burke, you want an office. I can't give you one, but I will tell you what I will do. I will tell you a story. Once upon a time King Solo mon, or his papa King David, or some other old buster of a King in Easter climes, kept an astrologer named Smith. The astrologer used to tell the King when it was going to rain and when it was not, and for this he got the tallest kind of pay and good keeping. One day the King was going too bunt buffaloes on the Eastern prairies, and says he Smith,' What kind of a day will it be ? Will it be safe for my complexion to go out I" Heaven preserve your Majesty,' said Smith it will be a splendid day. It will not rain for a day or a month to come.' So the King went on his way to the buffalo pastures. On his way he met a country fellow riding on a jackass, who said to the King, Turn about, your Majesty, it you don't want to get wet, for its going to rain like pitchforks.' I know better,' replied the King, I keep a private astrologer, and he says it won't rain.' The King kept on, but presently it began to rain a young deluge. This is really delight ful,' said the King, as ho hurried back to town to his palace, wet through to tho skin, and Loking more like a half drowned rat than a decent King. Smith, what do you mean ?' said the King to the astrologer. The stars and things said it would not rain,' said poor Smith. Vacate,' said the King, and he sent for the man who rode the ass. What is your name ?' he asked, and how did you know it was going to role ?" My name is Johns . n, and I knew it was going to rain because my jackass lowers his ears whenever it is going to rain.' So the King ordered his Billy Seward secretary to make out the papers appointing the jackass to the vacated office; and, Burke, ever since that day all the Jackasses of the country think they have equal claims to get office, and I am bothered to death with them. I don't want you to be regarded as a Jackass, and so I won't appoint you." If the leader of the American Christy Minstrels, now in England, wishes to use the above, and calls "Bones" to narrate it as the last coloured juke of Old Abe, he can do so, and I will make no charge. COLLISION AND Loss OF LlFF,.—Three lives have been leet by a collision in Redwharf Bay. The unfortunate men were part of the crew of the schooner Britannia, of Carmarthen, Captain Rouse, bound to Port Madoc, with China clay. It appears the Britannia was at anchor, when an American schooner ran into her, and she immediately foundered, the three men going down in her. The captain, niate, and a boy were saved. Tho other vessel passed on without taking any notice of the cries of the un fortunate crew of the sunken ship. TRIAL STAKES. Glendusk Lord Burleigb. Sea King Six ran, WIIITTLEBtiay STAKES. __.

BLAKE, THE ARTIST, AND Tom PAINE.--111 1792 the artist proved, as he was wont to relate, the means of saving Paine from the vindictive clutches of ex i asperated "friends of order." Early in that year Paine had published his second part of " The Rights of Man." A few months later, ,c.ounty a nd corporati on a dd resses against "seditious publications" were got up. Th e Go vernment (Pitt's) answered the agreed signal by issuing a proclamation condemnatory of such publications, and commenced an action for libel against the author of " The Rights of Man," which was to come off in September - all this helping th e b ook itself into immense circulation. 9 The "Friends of Liberty " held their meetings too, in which strong l anguage was used, In September, a French de p uta tion announ ce d to Paine that the Department of Calais had e l ected him member of the National Conven tion. Al rea d y as an acknowledged cosmopolitan and friend o f man, he had been declared a citizen of France by the deceased Assembly. Oce day in this same month, Paine was giving at Johnson's an idea of the inflammatory eloquence he had poured forth at a public meeting of the previous night. Bloke, who was pre ecnt, silently interred from the tenor of his report that those in power, now eager to lay hold of noxious persons, would certainly not let slip such an opportunity. Oa Paine's tieing to leave, Blake laid his hands on the orator's shoulder ?, saying, "Y ou mus t nut go home, or you arc a dead man I" and hurried him oil on his way to France, whither he was now, in any cane b o u n d, t o ta k e his seat as Frenc h legisla tor. By the time Paine was at Dover, the officers were in his house, or, as his biogeapher Mr. Cheetharn designates it, his "lurking hole in th e p ur li eus o f L on don;" and some 9 0 minuted after th e C ustom House officials at Dover had turned his slender baggage with, as he thought, extra malice, and he h a d se t sa il f or C a l a i s , an order was received from the Home-office to detain him. 'England never saw Tom Paine aga i n, N ew per i ls awa ited him : , reign of ter ror and near vi ew o f t h e guillo ti ne — an accidentally open dcor and a chalk mar k on the wrong s ide of it proving his salve !ic,n. But ano l ess ser i o us co o had been narr ow l y escaped from th e E ng li s h T or i es . Those were h ang i ng days I Blake, on thi s occas i on , showed greater sagacity t h an Paine, whom, indeed, Fuseli affirmed to be more ignorant of the common affairs of life than himself even. Spite of unworldliness and visionary faculty, Blake never wanted for prudence and sagacity in ordinary tuatters,—Vidaist $ Li i - ;-: of William Blokc, 1 1 t, r I ~:
