SPIRIT 0 the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—In another column will be found the accounts which have reached us of the Repeal As sociation meeting on Monday. Like the procession of Saturday, which conducted O'Connell from Rich mond Penitentiary to his home, the day closed with out any breach of public order. The immense mul titudes which the occasion brought together far sur passed any previous assembly in the metropolis of Ire land, in connection with repeal. We rather choose to leave the accounts given of the scene, both within and without the Hall—which are sub stantially the same from di ff erent sources—to speak for themselves, than to comment upon them. O'Connell once more at the head of the repeal movement—at liberty—and at liberty under circumstances which obviously imply a signal triumph over the Government, which boasted of its victory over him, and its successful mode of dealing with the agitation of which he is not merely the leader, but the life—this was in itself sufficient to render the meet ing of Monday a new era in the history of the Repeal Association. Trace the progress of the movement — fraught with folly and pregnant with mischief, as it is, to the vital interests of Ireland—threatening peril, as it does, to the sources whence the British em pire derives the means of supporting its honour, and maintaining its interests—let its progress be traced from the slumbering and almost expiring elements of its constitution, through its various stages, from strength to strength, since the accession of the pre sent Government to office ; and what is the infer ence which the best disposed towards the Go vernment must draw from the retrospection ? What was repeal then ? What is repeal now ? Three years since it was treated as a delusion, the emana tion of folly, or the concoction of fraud ; the ex istence of which was viewed with ridicule or scorn, and the termination of which was confidently anti cipated. But whether it remained floating on the surface, sustained by the credulity of the simple; or whether it burst, as other bubbles have burst, for lack of the principles which can alone give stability, was alike unimportant in a public sense. Repeal is now not merely a question of national interest; but of national alarm. Without one whit more of truth or reason in its claims, than it had when it was an object of indifference or contempt to the great body of the Irish nation, the innate hatred to a Tory Go vernment which pervades the mass of that nation, and the impolicy of the measures which have been adopted by the Government of Sir Robert Peel, have imparted to the repeal movement a power and an influence, derived from its increasing numbers, and its immense wealth, that now enable it to assume a position which places the peace of the country, if not the integrity of the empire itself, at its command. When Sir R. Peel's Government was installed in office, repeal, like the infant Hercules, stood upright upon its feet—in a few months it became a man in might, glorying in its strength. Sir R. Peel sought to confine its energies by casting over it the skilfully woven net of the law. It broke his bands asunder. It now walks abroad, exhibiting in triumph the mutilated monster indictment, with which he sought to crush it, by confining its leaders in prison, and holding them in recognisances of several thousands, to refrain in future from the acts they had performed and the words they had spoken in furtherance of its objects. Every week now witnesses new accessions to its ranks. Members of the highest families in the land enrol their names on its muster-roll, and subscribe to swell its revenues. And this will go on ; unless Sir Robert Peel cease from the attempt to govern Ire land, for which he is obviously incompetent ; and resign the task to those whose previous policy has propitiated the people of Ireland; whose conciliatory measures they would accept with readiness ; to whose rule they would submit as founded in equity ; acid whose administration they would hail as a com bination of justice, mercy, and truth. This would, even now, stay the torrent which is hurrying on the population of Ireland to a crisis that may shake the empire with commotion, and may saturate the coun try with the blood of its sons. STANDARD.—It would appear from the speech of Mr. O'Connell in the Conciliation Hall en Mon day, that he is not satisfied with the triumphal proces sions and Te Deums which have commemorated his release from prison, but that he contemplates ulte rior means of teaching posterity to remember the pe culiar indulgence of which he has been the object; short, nothing less than the impeachments of the jadges of the Court of Queen's Bench of Ireland, ho tried him, and, of course, the Attorney- General, who so ably and efficiently conducted the prosecution ! Why, the felon, humanely reprieved from death because the rope with which it is at tempted to hang him is broken by his struggles, would have an equally fair title to pros, cute the judge, counsel, and witnesses who had convicted him, and quite as good a claim to consider the accident a spe dal interposition of the Virgin Mary. A part of the recent idolatrous mummery enacted in the Church of the Conception in Dublin, had for its ob ject to convince the Repealers of Ireland, that had the plies been ever so strong, the Virgin Mary would have caused them to snap asunder like burnt flax ; for that having com menced the service of the " Novena," with the view of obtaining from her a miracle in Mr. O'Connell's behalf, her compliance followed so immediately on the appeal that the news of the reversal of the judg ment arrived at the Richmond Penitentiary on the very day on which this religious exercise was con cluded. It is therefore the height of absurdity to blame the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench of Ireland, or Mr. Smith, or eulogise the surpassing learning and disinterestedness of the three law Lords by whom the judgment was reversed; when we have it on the authority of a dignitary of Mr. O'Connell's church that they had nothing whatever to do with the matter. If we are to believe Doctor Miley, it i , perfectly clear that Lords Denman, Cottenham, and Campbell, were the mere instruments of the miracu lous intervention which is declared to have been inter posed in his favour, and have no more claims upon his gratitude than any other involuntary agent of the dispensers of such marvels. We should have th en glad to have accepted this theory ; for, to say the truth, it is difficult to account for the decision of the three law Lords, excepting on the belief that they acted under some powerful hallucination which deprived them of the exercise of their ordinary faeulties. The infinite pains Mr. O'Connell took, however, on Monday last, to convince his audience that the release of himself and friends was sl'ogether owing to the wisdom of this truly Spartan minority, and that with two exception, all the other judges are wiseacres, wholly unacquainted with the le w of conspiracy, and equally unfit for the duties they have been called upon to perform, would lead ns to infer that he hardly recognises it himself. The only three judges in the United Kingdom who are, acs - ording to his account, entitled to respect, are lord Cottenham, Lord Denman, and Lord Camp- Fell. Of the first of these noble and learned persons, he declares that " there never was so good a judge ; " of the second, that no dignitary o f th e E ngl i s bstich " has ever shown himself what Lord Denman has ; and of the third, that, besides having " a thoroughly Irish heart," and a "shrewd Scotch head ti' guide it," he had informed him, on his visit t o Ireland, that he had become thoroughly Irish." We will not ask what Lord Cottenham must feel v. hen informed that he is the best judge that "ever lived ; " neither are we disposed to inquire of Lord Campbell at what rate he estimates the com pliment here paid to him and his colleagues, at the expense of nine-tenths of the judicial learning and virtue of England. But we very much doubt if Lord Denman will not be disposed to apostrophise himself with the inquiry, " What evil have I done that this man should praise me." The object of eulogies from such a quarter—eulogies associated with the vituperation of colleagues whose learning he cannot fail to appreciate, whose sincerity he knows to be beyond all price, cannot be misunder stood. We mistake Lord Denman greatly indeed, if he will not regard such praise as the last thing which a good and great man ought to de- The speech which has suggested these remarks differs but little from the agitator's ordinary orations. Asa sample of its impudence, we may notice that he declar es that the reversal of the judg m ent was on the merits 0 n not on ) and any technical ground O. t ) ; end Is a proof that hi s l a t e re ti rement h as at l east taught him so m e l rudence, we may instance the total absence from his address of all thr ea t s o f more monster tneeting e , parliam e h e as even got a pis oiler for College-green destinedli We need not add that it is one which is will.

What more can they desire for their 3001.? Mr. O'Connell's opinion is against calling more monster meetings ! Who will venture to say that the prose cution has not brought forth good fruit ? or that the leisure afforded Mr. O'Connell in Richmond Peni tentiary has not tended to induce wholesome re fie - Along ?

A man named John Brown, who was without a coat, and appeared to have suffered in a conflict, was brought before Alderman Gibbs, charged with having committed a daring robbery. The case was made remarkable by the display of extraordinary spirit and energy upon the part of a lady, of rather small stature and delicate appearance. Mr. Hobler appeared for the prisoner. Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Bradshaw, wife of Mr. Brad shaw, of No. 103, Bishopsgate-street Within, hosier and glover, stated that, about ten minutes past eight o'clock on Tuesday night, a man came into the shop, dressed in a green shooting-coat and yellow buttons, and asked to look at some ribbons. Witness showed IS% 22st him some, and cut off a yard and a half. While she was engaged in cutting, the prisoner entered, followed by the shopman, who had been out, and whom she desired to serve him. The moment she saw the pri soner she suspected that he was a thief, and she ob served his motions. The shopman incautiously placed upon the counter, near the prisoner, a bundle of hand kerchiefs, and the man with the shooting-coat and yellow buttons at the moment e x cha nge d g l an ces with the prisoner, who took up some of the handker- APPREHENSION OF GAMBLERS.—Yesterday, Fred( '— rick Pemberton, alias Frederick Joseph Pemberton, wr ; brought before Mr. Baron Gurney, in the custody ( d ? Inspector Aggs, of the C division. The prisoner wr described of 31, St. James's-street. The court weal crowded with West-end gamblers. It appeared that the prisoner was engaged gamblin g at the last Gorhambury races, and an indictment had been preferred against him at the St. Alban's sessions, Mr. Baron Gurney having granted a bench warrant for his apprehension. A man named Mo Jacobs, de-. scribed as a lawyer's clerk, and living at 101, Ber— wick-street, met Pemberton yesterday afternoon int Regent-street, and took him to the Vine-street station, where he was given into the custody of In— spector Aggs. Jacobs told the prisoner, on the way to the station-house, that there was no occasion for him to go, as it could be " settled." On arriving there, Aggs, well knowing the whole of the parties concerned, at first refused to entertain the charge„ when Jacobs became so abusive that he was threatened with removal. After a short " consultation," Mr. Mo Jacobi consented to the bail, and the prisoner was liberated on entering into his own recognizance in 801., and. finding two sureties in 40/. each, to appear at the next; assizes at Hertford. James Hollick Davis, otherwise HoHick Davis, of Hendon, was then brought np in custody of Sergeant; Maris, A 50. It appeared that the prisoner was pointed out at; the Middlesex Sessions Court on Friday by a man named Randall to Mr. Jacobs, and formerly livery servant at a gambling booth at which the prisoner acted as one of the principals. An indictment had, been preferred against the prisoner at the Croydon, sessions in 1843 for gambling on Ascot Heath race course, and Mr. Justice Coleridge had signed a war rant for his apprehension. The prisoner had been residing for some time at Guernsey and Jersey. Mr. Russell, the solicitor in the qui tam actions. against Lord George Bentinck, attended on his be half. Bail was tendered, the prisoner in 801., and'. two sureties in 401. each. Mr. Baron Gurney said, in such a serious case he could not consent to take bail for less than 2001., and two sureties in 1001. each. The prisoner then entered into his own recogni zances in 2001., and two sureties in 1001. each, to ap pear at the next assizes at Abingdon. The parties avowed that Lord George Bentinck was connected with the prosecutions, but it is very doubtful whether his Lordship is in any way mixed up with them. !,134 LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) , 134 TREGEAR AND LEWIS'S BANKRUPTCY. •K In this case the bankrupts carried o n b us i ness as music and picture dealers in Cheapside, and to-day was appointed for their final examination. However, ', 2 % as further accounts were required, which the Court es4ordered to be made out, an adjournment f o r a few gh weeks was agreed to for their preparation. A number of insolvent cases were heard before 7 Commissioners Fonblanque and Fane, but, like the others which have prec e d e d th em for the last 5 % fortnight, they contained not a fact worth reporting. . MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. WALESBY, Deputy-Assistant Judge, and a full Bench of Magistrates.) 11,‘ The first September session under the recent Act 13„, for the better administration of criminal justice in % the county of Middlesex commenced on Tue s d a y, a t Hicks's-hall, Clerkenwell-green, before the Deputy- Assistant Judge and an 04unusually full bench of Ma gistrates. The calendar is numerically extremely heavy, con taining no fewer than 96 cases, of which 63 are in dictments for felony, whilst 33 are for misdernea % nours, some of an important character. The grand jury having been sworn, The Deputy-Assistant JUDGE shortly addressed them. The cases which were disposed of in the course of ;he day did not offer any feature of public interest. During a temporary cessation, however, Mr. PRENDERG•ST said he trusted his Lordship would permit him to make an application for the r 4 postponement of a case wherein the defendant was in 7',r dieted for a nuisance. The case was entitled " The 4 Queen v. Thompson." The defendant was very ex tensively engaged as a b rus h ma k er , an d h a d a manu -7'l factory at Kentish-town. The prosecution was by a I'4 gentleman of the bar of the name of Pike. lie affi- D tll davit upon which he made the present application dis ri),,' closed several mos t i m p or t an t f ac t s i n re f erence to t h e circumstances of the case, and it was quite clear that as the prosecution had for its object the stoppage of his business, the proceedings were a life or death matter so far as the defendant was concerned. There was this singular fact, too, connected with the case— that it was the first instance in which a brushmaker had been prosecuted for carrying on his trade. No NI brushmaker had until now ever been indicted for a • nuisance. The ground upon which he moved for a 2 postponement of the case was the absence of a mate : rial witness. I,u The Learned JUDGE asked whether there cou ld b e any objection to a postponement ? • Mr. Ronny, who appeared on behalf of the prose 1/ii cution, said there were very powerful objections. 5 34 Mr. PRENDERGAST begged to dire c t th e a tt en ti on a of the Learned Judge to the fact, that had the late statute been still in force, the case could not have s been tried until the adjourn m e n t d a y, w hi c h wou ld O have fallen just about the period at which the next ses -1 Sion on would commence, so that in reality, although a 0 postponement was now asked for until the ensuing session, the case would come on quite as early as 6 before the new Bill had come into operation. s The Learned JUDGE thought it was very early in the session to make such an-application, for the wit ills ness might be obtained ere it had concluded. so Mr. PRENDERGAST remarked, that the object in :i making the application thus early was to relieve se- II veral professional witnesses from a probably unneces -7 rp sary attendance for three or four days. 19 The JUDGE inquired of Mr. Hurry what ineonve is I'l% nience could arise by the postponement ? a Mr. HOaRY replied, that the inconvenience to the 16 1 14 % prosecution would be very great ;in addition t o w hi c h sk the nuisance—a nuisance of the most pernicious and ts destructive character—would still be carried on. The 14 defendant was in the habit of usi ng a p reparat i on o f Isulphur to, as he said, bleach th e b r i st l es o f w hi ch 7 he made his brushes ; and he furthermore used, as 1 ( 1 , ° % the Learned Counsel was understood to say, the chlo -5 . ride of arsenic in the construction of a peculiar de -4% scription of fancy shaving-soap, as well as for another 14 purpose. The fumes whi c h were th e resu lt o f t h ese 33i % operations were of the most injurious character, and 3 spread themselves around the neighbourhood wherein 5 1 % they were carried on with the most lamentable effects. 5 The object of the prosecution of course was to ac -7 complish the remov a l of th e nu i sance as qu i c kl y as 5X , 54 possible, and any postponement would tend to delay VI the achievement of so desirable an end. He was in s% strutted that the defendant had removed this nuisance , I yi s4 from another place about two years since. With ; respect to the ground upon which the postponement e was sought, he should submit that the affidavit did not show the materiality of the eviden ce o f th e par- Vi ticular witness sufficiently even to justify the appli r cation ; whilst, on the other hand, the prosecutor had ;N a witness who was now in the inost dreadful state of ;14 health, and who had lost her husband and daughter i from the operation of these poisonous fumes upon. I their system. Mr. PRENDERGAST here read an affidavit, which set 1 forth that the nuisance, if nuisance it were, had been 1 i discontinued from the moment when the notice of Ili indictment had been served upon the defendant. Eventually it was arranged that the trial should be postponed until the next sessions, upon the under taking of the defendant not to renew his operations % during that period. GAMING HOUSES. Mr. PRENDERGAST now moved that bench warrants :gz might issue in the case of TILE QUEEN V. GODFREY AND OTHERS. The defendants, Godfrey, Joseph Bevan, Joseph 1 Sherwood, C. Lulu, and W. Sufilin, had been indicted s on the I9th of August, for keeping a common gaming 5 house in Bury-street, St. James's, but had neither put in bail nor appeared. The party making the affidavit 4 N swore that if the bench warrants were issued, he was in possession of such information as would enable him 1 S to capture them, and so bring the parties up for trial. 4s The COURT granted the application for the war s% rants, with 24 hours' notice of bail. WEIS chiefs in the bundle, put his own handkerchief over them while the shopman's head was turned another way, gracefully wiped his nose with them, and put them into his pocket.—(Laughter.) When I ob served that, said the lady, I lifted up the flap of the counter. I said to him, Don't any of these handker chiefs please you, Sir? No, said he. Then said I, interrupting him and preventing him from going out, allow me to look at those you have in your pocket ? He declared that he had none, and that he was a gen tleman, and had a cab waiting for him at the door, and out he rushed into the street. I ran after and caught hold of him, and he struck me ; but I would not let him go. The fellow with the green coat seized me by the wrist to disengage me from him, but I kept my hold, and the prisoner and I were up and down together three times, he struggling to get away, and I struggling to hold him. The fellow in the green coat then kicked me in the hip, and the prisoner struck me a blow on the neck, and then he ran off. I followed him along the street, and caught gave eway lie then escaped from and the tails of his coathold o r f em hi a s i c n o e a d t, in which my hand. me, but was soon brought back in custody. He denied that he was the person accused, but there he was, with the upper part of his coat on his person, and the lower part of it in my possession. James Kinnaly, of Hoxton, bookbinder, stated that at about a quarter past eight o'clock he was in Bishopsgate-street, a few yards from the shop of Mrs. Bradshaw ; that he heard her cry out, and saw her and the prisoner struggling on the ground ; that the prisoner ran away, and that he ran after and secured him, without losing sight of him. The witness added that the handkerchiefs were picked up near the London Tavern, where he secured the fellow. Nicholas Merry stated that he picked up the hand kerchiefs at the time. Mrs. Bradshaw identified four silk handkerchiefs, by the private mark of the house. The prisoner here stated that the handkerchief which covered the others was his property, and he re quested the Alderman would cause it to be restored to him. inquiries in Catherine-street, when they were informed by the neighbours that the brother had left there a long time before, and that no one knew where he had gone to. DESCRIPTION OF REMARKABLE FARMS. BY ADAM BROWN. No ear Chelmsford, in Essex. A journey of a few minutes less than an hour into Essex, by the railway from London, will bring you to a station, where, if you are curious about remarkable farms and farmers, you may leave the train. I Having got out and given your ticket to the officer, go down the winding stair. At the bottom of it you will find yourself beneath one of several archway:, each raised upon many pillars, bearing aloft the level railway upon which runs the train you have just left. It is now on its way to Colchester, and you are at Chelmsford. Looking through the pillars you will see passengers going to and fro, carriages, carts, and waggons also. Before you have emerged into the full glare of. day light, you will observe the end of a new row of brick built houses, and on the end of the house nearest you, on a painted sign -board, the words, " Office of the Essex Society for Protection to Agriculture." Should you turn to the right, and proceed to the north and north-west, you will pass many pretty little houses with floral adornments around them ; and you will come to a park of fine old trees and meadow grass, through which, to the left, there is a footpath. Enter and proceed by this footpath. You. will in ten minutes reach a small river, over which you will cross by a wooden bridge. You will then proceed by the brink of this river for about fifteen or twenty minutes, if you do not delay. But if you linger and examine the farm land on your left, and the fences that enclose it, and the gaps in the fences, and the weeds in the fields, and all the signs of dilapidation, including the washing away of the road on which you walk by the river—not a rolling, spoliating, reckless river, but a deep, slow, lazy river, which, even in doing mischief, does it in such a lazy style, that you are forced to believe that the road is gnawed away by the tooth of time, and not by the floods of one year—if you linger to examine such things as these you may, likely enough, take another half hour. And indeed if you do, it will not be the worst spent half hour of your life. You will see that the river has not done its little bits of mischief in recent floods ; no, nor in the floods of recent years. You will, on more intimate acquaintance with it, find it is an old fashioned river that does not like to be put out of its old way, and which never has been interfered with ; for on its banks are those who, not liking to be sti r s red up, or turned as id e th ems elves, not even for their own good, are averse to troubling even the old river by leading it in a new and more profitable and be coming course. Therefore, on they go; the water in its course, and the dwellers on its bank in their courses, as the streams of water and the generations of men did even in the days of the kings of the East Saxons. But, having arrived at that junction of roads where the river is to be parted from, you may with pro priety come to a dead halt. Stand still ; think for a while. Here is a toll-bar, there is a village. Behind you is a farm-house, yard, stable, barns, corn• stacks, haystacks, carts, waggons, wheels without waggons, one wheel without its fellow, its fellow lying a hundred yards off, without its ring; its ring keeping company with a piece of a plough, and a piece of a plough lying in the mast likely place on all the farm to break a horse's or a cow's legs. Frag ments of implements, and implements separated from the companion implements, present themselves to you in wondrous confusion. You may think it worth while to look round the whole farm-steading and farm fields after this. It is worth while. I will go with you ; I will show you. Look here ! A horsepond and a ditch full of water. "Is the water all of that black colour in Essex ?" you will ask me. " No, it is not ; you saw the river ; the river was only earthy coloured because of the rain." • " "Why, then is the horsepond and this ditch full of black wa ter ? and that other ditch as well ? and this hole down in the field where the cattle are drinking ? Do the horses drink that black water in the pond ? Why, it has a stench. Ah ! how nasty it is !" Nasty; yes, it has cause to stink and be nasty. It contains the urine of the cattle and the washings of the farmyard dung. You wonder how anybody can give horses and cattle suc h wa t er t o drink-; but it is an old custom to do so, and it would incur trouble and expense to drain the liquids of the yard some were else. You are surprised that the horses should drink this water. Rest assured the horses would ehoose good water as readily as any human being would; perhaps more so, for their tastes are not viti ated by strong drinks from choice, they only drink polluted water from necessity. You are surprised that a farmer, for his own profit, does not provide his horses and cattle with pure water. But you may be still more surprised that the very pollution which poisons this water consists of sub stances which make poor soils rich, and rich soils richer still ; consists of substances which are here utterly wasted, and for the draining of which into speedy and utter waste those ditches are made ; con sists of substances thus wasted at the very threshold of the farmer's house, though precious as the guano of Ichaboe, carried to this country by five hundred ships, over latitudes of ocean measuring thousands of miles. But, proceed over the farm. We. have little diffi culty in getting through, so far as gaps can serve us ; but those undraitsed hogs, and broad ditches choked with weedy foulness, let us be careful how we tra verse them, lest we sink. And mind the briers that fill up the wide distance between the old stumpy hedgerows—distances that would produce ten bushels of wheat on each four hundred yards lengthways ; that is to say, if by any possibility one could ever hope to see wheat sown on so rich a soil as this. You are surprised. See you not that wheat is not cultivated here: See you not that, where there was once cultivated land, as we may see by those ridges, there is now grass, and that grass is giving way to rushes and thistles, docks and weedy wastefulness. True this is good land, the best land in Essex for wheat; but if you went all over Essex, and all Eng land, you would not see wheat so little cared for as here. Now we come to another farm-steading, belonging to the same farmer, and again we see the liquids of the farm-yard running to waste; again we see the solids lai I out to dry in the sun, as if it were good that the ammonia should go into the air rather than into the earth. You ask why it is that one farmer should hold so much land, and make such a poor use of it. I will tell you. lie holds so much land because he is rich, and can be depended on for the rent better than a poorer tenant can be depended on. He is rich while many other farmers are poor; and he is so because they are poor. His work is not that of toiling at the farm to enable him to pay his rent; it is the "selling up" of other farmers who cannot pay their rents. His desire is not to get a good system of leases introduced, that he and his neighbours may expend capital on their land, and cultivate well. His desire is, that the present uncertain system of tenure may continue. He thrives by it. He is a land valuer; and each tenant-at-1s ill, moving from farm to farm, year after year, has his stock, and farm, and implements valued , and he pays Policeman 74 K, from information he received from one of the last witnesses, went on the preceding even ing to the house of the prisoners and took them into custody. On apprising them of the nature of the charge against them, the male prisoner said that the infant was at the house of his brother, in Henry street, Commercial-road, but afterward admitted that the brother had gone to Bristol, and that they had neither since heard from him, nor knew where he was to be found. On the road to the station, the male pri3oner told his wife to keep close and not say anything, as there was no evidence whatever against them. In defence the male prisoner denied having deserted his child in the manner that had been described, and persisted in his statement that he had placed it in the care of his brother, who had left London more than a month ago, and he had always since then entertained the firm conviction that the infant had been carried by his brother with him to Bristol. The female prisoner's statment was p . ..ecisely to the same effect. Mr. BROUGHTON said that the case was one of very deep suspicion, and there could be no doubt whatever that tilts child produced in Court was that of which the female prisoner had been delivered at the house of the woluan Atthill. He should commit them both to prison for child-dropping, but let the case stand over for a week, to give them an opportunity of bringing forward any exculpatory evidence they might be able to adduce.—The prisoners were then removed. UN/ON-HALL. Yesterday Sarah Drew was brought before Mr. Cottingham, on remand from last Thusday, charged with administering poison to Richard Drew, her husband. Mr. James, the solicitor who attended for the pro secution, said, that he was requested by the com plainant to state, that he was overwhelmed with grief at the awful situation of his wife, to whom he had been married forty years ; that they had sixteen chil dren, four of whom, their sons, young men of most exemplary conduct, had joined in the prayer of their father for the liberation of their mother. The com plainant was most anxious she should he discharged upon bail, as he was convinced that she would not make any further attempt upon his life, and that, under these circumstances, he (the complainant) wished that she should return home to her dwelling, if the Magistrate sanctioned it. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, that the alleged offence was of such a nature that he could not possibly grant the application ; that the intercession of the old man now made on her bnhalf evinced the kindness of his feel ings towards her, notwithstanding the desperate means by which she sought his life, and that the charge was one which must go before a jury. It was given in evidence that the quantity of arsenic put into the complainant's tea was enough to kill four persons; that there were also two other lumps of the same mineral found on the floor where the prisoner had been previously standing, a quantity that was said to be sufficient to poison twenty persons. It was only a matter of astonishment how the prisoner or any other perso❑ could have procured such a quantity of the deadly drug without proper inquiries being made by the person who sold it. The person, whoever he was, was guilty of the most culpable negligence, to say the least of it, and he (the Magistrate) was ap prehensive now that the discovery would not take place. It was stated that the handkerchief which the pri soner called his was unhemmed, and in all probability 1 had been stolen by him. The prisoner very coolly said th a t it h a d b een washed two or three times, and nobody but himself could lay claim to it. John Scott, City policeman (626), stated that he heard the cry of " Police" near the shop, and saw the prisoner escape from the grasp of Mrs. Bradshaw. As the prisoner approached, witness asked him what was the matter, supposing it was an assault affair, and the prisoner said " That man struck me—take him for God's sake." Witness said, " What man ?" " That man in a buff waistcoat," replied the prisoner, and when witness looked in the direction pointed at, ran off. Witness followed and apprehended the prisoner. Mrs.:Bradshaw—A jeweller in the same street was :robbed of property on the same evening, and no doubt ;by this prisoner, assisted by the fellow with the green coat. He has no doubt that this prisoner was one of :the thieves, but as he has no proof, he does not wish to come forward. The prisoner —Now don't say that. that things are worse than they really are. Mrs. Bradshaw—When he came to the shop he lad a black patch upon his lip, but he tore it off be fore he got to the station-house. Alderman (inns committed the prisoner for trial, and congratulated the lady upon such uncommon :self-possession and courage as she had exhibited throughout. The green -coated gentleman will, in all probability, be very soon in custody. Don't say The prisoner, who stood trembling at the bar, fre quently asserted her innocence of the alleged offence, and declared that she never touched her husband's teapot on the evening in question, and had no oppor tunity of putting poison in it, even if she were in clined, for he was not a moment absent from the room. Mr. CorTlNGium observed that the prisoner's pre vious conduct to her husband strengthened the belief that hers was the hand that administered the poison —that previously to it she had uttered threats against his life—had also threatened to burn the house ; and when she saw him retching violently from the effects of the poison he had swallowed in her presence, and when he complained of a sudden sickness and a burn ing sensation in his mouth and throat, instead of ren dering him any assistance, her expressions and un feeling conduct on the occasion were such as to war rant the conclusion that she was the offender. The Magistrate then directed the depositions to be taken, and said that he should commit the prisoner, but that she should he brought up again on Tuesday next, to give the policeman an opportunity of making further inquiries as to where the poison was bought. GREENWICH. Yesterday Thomas 111' Clone, a superannuated war rant-officer, was convicted of having used abusive lan guage to the relieving-officer of the union, who had gone to remonstrate with him for having expelled from his roof his daughter, a girl under 20 years of age, whom her father declared to be utterly unworthy of his protection. _ CLEI?KENWELL. Anne Rhodes was brought up for final examina tion, charged with stealing an immense quantity of 'wearing apparel, house linen, tea, sugar, spirits, 'books, and almost every other portable article ofa well furnished house, being the property of her master, :Mr. Cross, residing in York-place, Stoke Newington. James Gibson was charged with receiving the same, -well knowing it to have been stolen. It appeared from the evidence, which was very voluminous, that the female prisoner, adernure-look ring person, adva nce d i n years, h as b een in the employ ment of Mr. Cross during the last five years, and has, from the first day of her servitude, carried on a whole sale system of plunder, but so artfully and secretly effected, that up to this time she was believed to be ‘ 4 a faithful servant." The male prisoner was in the same service about two years ago, and since then it appears that Rhodes has kept up a constant com munication with him. He lodged in Norfolk-street, Islington, and thither the plunder was conveyed ; in fact, it clearly appeared that she was his paramour, for with the landlady of the house she went by the name ccf Mrs. Gibson, and whenever her employers were out of to wn, she came there laden with plunder, ar:d they passed the night in the same apartment. A.l length Maria IVoodgate, her fellow-servant, who had been induced to convey some tea, sugar, brandy, &c ~ in hampers to the prisoner's lodgings, informed her mistress of the fact. The female prisoner was for thwith given into custody, and made a full con fession of her guilt. She declared she would stab herself, and soon after became so ill that she lay for several days in the workhouse in a very precarious condition. At Gibson's lodgings a very large quan tity of the stolen property was found, stowed into every hole and corner capable of containing it ; there were bottles, jars, and even pails filled with tea, sugar, and spirits of every description. COMBS decided on committin g th e pr i soners for trial, and deposit ions were taken down ac exudingly. WEDNESDAY.

Yesterday the first order of affiliation under the recent Act of Parliament eras made at thi s office. Tb e putative father of the child was J osep h Ed ge l y , a young linendraper's assistant, who was summoned to show cause why an order of 2s. 6d. per wee k shou ld not. be made upon him for its maint enance. The mother swore to the intimacy, and to her hav ing been delivered of the child she then held in her arms on the 12th of February.

Defendant had visited her there, and passed as her husband.

Mr. BURRELL observed, that it was not necessar y to go back so long a period as nine months before the birth. It was enough that she should be confirmed in some material part of her testimony. He thought thel case clearly made out, and should adjudge the defendant to make an allowance towards the main terance of the child. Mr. Edwards, the chief clerk, inquire the amount Mr. BURRELL said it must be 2s. 6d. p e r week. The object of the Legislature in mentioning this sum had clearly been with a view to put p ar t o f t h e onus on the mother of the child. • TH D US The Cup of 3001, with 501.

Yesterday a general Court of Appeal for the City of London was held in the Land Tax-room, Guildhall buildings, before the Commissioners appointed for the execution of the 48th Geo. M., c. 141, called the Assessed Taxes Act, for the purposes of hearing ap peals against the first assessment for the sth of April, 1844. Pursuant to the provisions of the above Act, duplicates of the first assessment of the duties of the said taxes on the inhabitants of the City of London and its liberties, was given by the Commissioners to the collectors appointed to receive the same, on the 13th of July last. A number of appeal cases were entered for hearing in the Court, most of which were disposed of withuut any material points being- elicited during their bear ing. Out of the number of appeals which had been made, in thirty-five cases the applicants were suc cessful. The Court, having disposed of the business of the day, adjourned. CORONERS' INQUESTS.

The tax-collector subsequently called, which apparently preyed much upon her mind; and on Saturday even ing she went out, as she stated, to take some linen to be mangled. She was unusually low spirited. Not returning, her daughters beca me a l armed, and after a great deal of inquiry her body was fount floating in the Regent's-canal, near the Eastern Counties Rail way bridge, by Clark, the lock-keeper.
