The plaintiff (Mrs. Robinson) occupied a room in the between 30/. and 40/. ; Stammer, Strand, silversmith, i house of the defendant, in which there was property 1115/. - 9s. ; Perry, Oxford-street, silversmith, 961. 165.; valued at 120/. Some differences arose between the Braithwaite, silversmith, 2201. 2s. 6d.-531. paid on the plaintiff and her landlord, which ended in an cxamina 24th of February, 1842, by a 506 note, traced to King ; lion at a pvlie&ffice. • On the return of the plaintiff T.,ambert and. Rawlings, silversmiths, 1671. 7s. from which with *her daughter (to whom it was alleged Several orthe tradesmen stated that Mrs. Birch came ! that a portion, if not the whole of the property be in a carriage and ordered the goods, and in many in- i longed), she was refused admission. The plaintiff stances she was a perfect stranger to them, but in others alleged that the room was engaged on a quarterly , she had small accounts of a few shillings or pounds for tenantry, and that at the time of the trespass their oc trifling articles: . cupancy had not terminated. The defendant, however, Many of the. papers found in the oven, when contended that the room was engaged at a weekly rent, put together,' formed letters in the handwriting of and that the seizure was legal. King, addreised to Mrs. Birch as " Dearest Emily," I Lord ABINGER summed up the evidence, and the jury and speaking of his extreme poverty. - Some of returned a verdict for the defendant. them. were draughts of letters to tradesmen in:his writing, the copies of which were sent to the tradesmen in the handwriting of Mrs. Birch, and some of them were lists of articles to be had from different tradesmen, in King's writing. Not a shilling had been paid for any of these goods. In one instance Mrs. Birch called upon a silversmith and ordered a quantity of plate, but she wanted credit ; the tradesman said he would give credit upon having a reference ; she then re ferred him to a person, stating he was her attorney ; but the tradesman refused to give credit upon this refe rence, as he said her attorney would be sure to give her a good character, and, in fact, he did not like at torneys. Proof was then ,given of the seizure of the goods on the let of March, under two executions, one at the suit of H. W. H. King, for 2,1531., and the other at the suit of Dorcas Phillips, fOr 520/. Mrs. Birch was present when the levy was made ; she was laid up with the gout at the time. The goods were very splendid ; they were sold under the seizure, on the 9th, 10th, and 11th of March, for 2,4991. 16s. lid. The plate alone sold for 700 L or 800/. The whole amount was afterwards paid into the ' Court of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas, upon inter pleader rules, the assignees having prevented Mr. King from receiving any part of the money. This was the case for the prosecution. The Learned.JuncE asked the Counsel for the prose cution if they thought there was evidence to go to the jury against Miss Birch ? Mr.HUMFREt thought there was ; and the case pro ceeded against all the parties. Mr. KELLY then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant King. Ile would freely adMit that there was much to blame, much to condemn, perhaps more to sus pect, as regarded the conduct of more ,than one of the parties. Some parts of their conduct, he would admit, it was utterly impossible to justify. If by law one or more of the defendants had committed any offence, he ' hoped he shOuld satisfy them that it was not the offence charged in this indictment. He implored them, by all that was sacred, not to allow any sentiments of disappro bation, however justly called forth in their minds, to lead them away for a. moment from the discharge of the simple and plain duty they had to perform, which was, - to determine, not whether these parties had done right or done wrong, but, looking at the nature of the charge, were any two of them guilty upon that charge? He admitted that - King, at the time when he first bore a part in these transactions, did undoubtedly press forward with undue eagerness to obtain a preference in his Own favour before the other just creditors of Mrs. Birch; but if the fiat against her was valid, he would not obtain a shilling under that execution. Mr. - GonsoN addressed the jury on behalf of the two ' female detbndants; and submitted ° to them that there was no evidence of a conspiracy having been entered into between these partie4. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS then summed up the ease to the jury, leaving it to the jury to say which,. if any, of the defendants they considered to be guilty. The jury retired for a short' time, and - then returned a verdict of Guilty on the first count aTainst King - and Emily Ann Birch (Mrs. Birch), and Not Guilty as' re garded Miss Birch. The jury also wished to express their astonishment at the want of caution in the parties whO had trusted Mrs. Birch, and they also hoped the length of time_ Mrs. Birch had already been in prison (nine months) would be taken into consideration. Mrs. Birch was thenA)tought forward and placed. on the floor of the Court to receive judgment. King was called, but did not appear. • . Mr.G ODSON did not object to sentence being passed, so that it did not prejudice his motion next term in' arrest of judgment, am he should submit that the first count was had in law. , • • • Mr. Justice Wit.us.sts sa•idl he certainly should pass judgment at once; •he did not mean to discourage ;Sin Godson in his application, but he had no dunk... The. Learneii "JUDGE then proceeded—Emily Ann Birch, the length of time you have been in prison, to which the jnry have adverted, is not overlooked by me, nor' am I insensible to the time of life at which yOu have arrived, and of the punishment imprisonment must of necessity be ton person of your years; but when I bear in mind the nature of the evidence adduced on the pre sent occasion, unexampled by anything in the history of this country . in the shape, on the one hand, of deception, and, on the other, of persevering imposition,—when I bear in mind the extent to which different honest men have been plundered of their goods, and that'this scheme of which the jury have convicted you—a scheme which for a time had existed, and which was nearly successful to the extent to which it was carried,—notwithstanding the ,circumstances to which I have alluded—' i your age and infivnrtie's—it is impossible to pass it without a sentence of considerable severity ; indeed, it would be trifling with the public interest if, when a case is brou , Aht home to the delinquents charged n ith an offence of this kind, the arm of justice did not interpose to the utmost for the prOtection of the property of the - subjects of the realm. It seems that King does not appear to receive sentence, and I firmly believe that although you appear univ, rsally. to have given the orders, yet 1 can not but sum - 6s', from the intimacy which - it is evident existed between you and that defendant, that he' was probably the principal conspirer and contriver. It is necessary therefore in his ease,. though absent,..that sentence shOuld be passed to mark the opinion enter tained of his conduct and of the transaction that affects him. With respect to him, the sentence of the Court is that he be imprisoned in the Queen's Prison for eighteen calendar months •, and (teeming you to be sevond in the transaction, though chiefly appearing, the sentence is that you be imprisoned in the Queen's Prison for nine calendar months. FEBRUARY S. (Sittings in Banco:after Term.) JUDGIIENT. -THE QUEEN IN THE PROSECUTION Or HARRIS V. SMITH. in this case a mandamus had been issued calling on the de fendant, a beneficed clergyman, to restore the prosecutor to the once of . parish clerk, of which defendant bad deprived him. The return to the mandamus set forth various acts of misconduct on the part of the prosecutor in the execution of the duties of his office, which, as the defendant alleged, justified him in dismissing the prosecutor. On the other side it was contended that the dismissal was illegal, inasmuch as defendant had never called upon the prose cutor to make his defence, but had proceeded at once to dismiss him ; the prosecutor contended, therefore, that the return to the mandamus was invalid. Lord Desm•N in .delivering the judgment of the Court this morning said, that the Court held that removal from a freehold mike ought to be preceded by some inquiry. It might have happened that the prosecutor might, had he been heard in his defence, have convinced the defendant that he was not deserving of dismiial. It mattered not that the misconduct of the prosecutor had come under the personal observation of defendant. Inquiry ought in all cases to precede dismissal. The return, therefore, could not be supported, and peremptory mandamus must issue. FEBRUARY 9. '(Sittings in Banco.) CARPUS t'.

COURT OF .EXCHEQUER, Feb. 8. (Nisi Prius Sittings before Baron GURNEY and a Special Jury.) THE ETTOENET-GENEELL V. VOGG. The trial of this cause, of which the opening was stated in our report yesterday, was resumed at the sitting of the Court this morning. Several witnesses were examined to discredit the testimony of the approvers Ritchie and Bird, produced on behalf of the Crown ; and other witnesses were examined, who explained or contradicted many facts of a suspicious nature, tending to criminate the de setidant. It appeared thM twenty of the missing bales of tobacco were taken from the wharf by Scrivener, and it was also proved that if the cart and van separated at Stepney Church, as deposed to by the Crown 'witnesses, they arrived together, or nearly at the same hour, at, the Tbanu,Potike..6lllo; where the defendant de livered doe 110 hales he bird seized. • • Mr. TS/PAU:Ca addressed the jury in reply, on' behalf of the - !rowit, enforcing on them the necessityof making an example of the defendant, if they believed him guilty, as, being a police. Meer, it was peculiarly his duty to protect the revenue against fraud. Aktron GURNEY read over the evidence, which occupied a (tonal_ gable time, and the jury retired at half.past three o'clock and minained in deliberation for some hours, but ultimately returned a verdict for the defendant.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, Feb. 8. (Before Commissioner Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.) 174 RE ENABLES JAMES MATIIRWS. This day was fixed for the insolvent's, the celebratedcomedian's application for his interim order. The balance-sheet, the sub stance of which we subjoin, had been filed by Messrs. Lewis within the time prescribed by the statute, and was exceedingly voluminous. Mr. M. Chambers, with Mr. C. Jones, appeared as counsel for Mr. Mathews ; Mr. F James opposed the Insolvent for Mr. Anderson (his Brother-in-law), and, at a later stage in the course of the proceedings, Mr. Cooke appeared for certain creditors who had not obtained " renewals" under the former insolvency of Mr. Mathews, but who now sought to share in the benefit of the offer which, conjointly with his wife, he now offered to his present creditors. Mr. Chambers, for the insolvent, said he understood that there were only one or two opposing creditors; that Mr. James was retained for one, and that not being now in Court, the other op. posing creditors might at once proceed, and thus materially save the time of the Court. The Learned CommissiuNra was disposed to athird every accom modation to all parties, and the only objection to proceeding in the abience of the Learned Counsel was, that one ease might be auxiliary to another ; both the parties should be present. Mr. C. Jones considered that the creditors who might think proper to oppose the insolvent could not be prejudiced by the Court entertaining the proceedings at once. Mr. Roberts said, that having instructed Mr. James in this matter, he was aware that the Counsel's main ground of objection was, that the insolvent had no locus standi whatever in this Court. The. debts and liabilities now upon the face of his schedule amounted to 61,1111., of which upwards of 3,0001. had been volun. tarily renewed, and contracted by fraud. The Learned COMMISSIONER—A serious charge, if you can prove it, and ought not to.be made if you cannot. Mr. Roberts—Then, Sir, if not a fraud, at all events much to the prejudice of his other creditors. The Learned COMMISSIONRR—If negligence of duty or supposed prejudice to others constitute crime, then, 1 tear, we shall have many criminals in this Court. Mr. Roberts said .that Mr. Commissioner Merivale had decided, in recent cases, that where an insolvent renewed his liabilities after his discharge from the Court without the means of paying them, that such conduct constituted legal fraud. Mr. Chambers was sorry to hear that any such decision had been come to, for in many cases the renewal of a debt might arise from jhe most honourable intentions. The Learned COMMISSIONER—And, I may add, that it might emanate from the highest possible principle of mind, and the best feelings of the human heart. It forms, in many cases, the very essence of integrity. There is an old adage, that what is hostile to the law of God cannot be the law of the land. Any creditor who cannot attend here to.day may come forward upon the insolvent's application for his final order. Mr. Roberts said that he now attended for a judgment creditor for about 30/., and for Mr. Anderson for GOO/. Mr. Chambers suggested that as this appllcition was merely for an interim order, that any examination of the insolvent as to the various items in his balance-sheet, had better be deferred until the application for the final order. Mr. James was prepared to contend that the insolvent could not, and ought not to obtain the benefit of an Act which was only in tended to protect the unfortunate debtor. In June, 1842, Mr. Mathews was discharged from debts and liabilities amounting to upwards of :26,000/., and in November, 1843, he filed his petition to be discharged from the further sum of 8,11 It. Surely, then, it was not for a person under such circumstances to seek the benefit of the Insolvent Act. Ite , had no family—he was receiving, toge• ther with his wife, nearly 100/. a week—Madame Vestris was not even put to the expense of finding jewels for her stage urns. rnents ; and yet, within a few months, had Mr. Mathews contracted the enormous amount of 8,1111. of debt. The Learned COMMAISIONER—What portion of that sum was for the renewal of debts from which he had been previously dis charged? Mr. C. Jones—About 4,441/. Mr. James—Well, taking that to be so, it appeared that from June, 184.2, to November, 1843, Mr. Mathews had been living at the rate of 3,000/. a year. Sir C. F'. WILLIAMS-1 have a very strong opinion on the sub. ject, but I shall not suffer myself to be led away by first impres sions, nor without hearing evidence; but 1 must say that there is something upon the face of the balance-sheet which is extremely startling. Mr. James—lt appeared, that in consequence of the issue of several writs and executions, and the stage.door having been almost besieged, Mr. Mathews was obliged to quit his engagement, arid for that no blame was imputable to him. Mr. Mathews re ceived 5001. upon the 3d of November. With this sum in hand, Mr. and Mrs. Mathews proceeded to Paris; they went away iii an omnibus and four--they took with them some thirteen or fourteen packages of different articles ; but in less than one month every farthing of the 5001: was expended, besides 701., his week's salary, which he had in his pocket; and even their plate was pledged the night before their departure. Mr. Mathews was to be pitied for his embarrassments; but if anything like justice were to be done to his creditors, he should not with perfect impunity be permitted to expend 600/. in less than one month in Paris. ' Immediately upon his return he obtained his protection from this Court, and-had since been in the receipt of 701. a week, yet nothing was lone for the creditors- Such a case should find no favour in this Court. What was given up for the creditors ? Why, a sort of contract had been set forth upon the face of the balance.sheet, by which he proposed to give tip 1,350!. a-year of his and his wife's joint salaries, deducting the payment of an annuity for 350/. a-year, for which the Marquis of Abercorn was security. Such an offer, he contended, was a mockery to_this Court ; it was a mockery to the creditors Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—And the jewels of Madame Vestris, which for costliness were the admiration of the world, where are they gone ? Mr. C. Jones—l deny that Mrs. Mathews has any more jewels than she now begs she may be allowed to retain upon the payment of 3/. a.week for their use. The agreement specially provides for the payment by equal monthly parts, out of both their salaries. Mr. Mathews was then sworn, and in examination by Mr. James, stated that at his last discharge his debts and liabilities chiefly owing to . the difficulties attending his lesseeship of Covent: garden, amounted to 29,0004 of which sum, however,only 4,000/. was upon his own accistint. The properties were retained at the theatte. Of the 4,0001. he had renewed about 3.000/. I felt bound in honour - so to do, for I was very peculiarly situated, as many persons came voluntarily forward to assist me, and one gen tleman, knowing my difficulties, lent me 2001.,saying, " Mathews, I belie ve you to be i man of honour, and take the money, for I know, when you-can, you will return it to me." That debt, amongst others, I renewed, but I never granted any renewal fer a pecuniary advantage. In the case of a debt to Mr. Wolf, I re newed it for 1001., and he said to me, " take the odd money leas thediscount," which I did. I renewed also to Mr. Levi and Mr. Gotdslide, who had become bail for me; and I will again swear that I renewed nothing for any pecuniary consideration. Mr. Cooke hire applied on behalf of certain judgment and other creditors under the insolvent's former insolvency, but to whom no renewals had•been given, that they might now be per. mlttcd to come in and share in the benefits which Mr. Mathews was willing to give his other creditors. The defendant in this case, it will be remembered, was the foreman at Westbrook's Wharf, at which the tobacco was tasseled isi.Setivester and Fogg's eases. . - Mr. Chambers objected. A discussion ensued, and the Learned Commissioner decided that he could not grant the application. Mr. Chambers contended that the statements of his Learned Friend (Mr. James) were, to use the mildest terms, founded on error ; and besides, as the question had, to a considerable extent, put on the character of a public matter, it could not be disposed of without mature deliberation. verdict was taken by the Crown, by consent, for throng/le-pc. natty of 200/ TSB. ATrariSY.(I*NEIM. PETTIT. " Mr. C. Jones.—This discussion has originated from the sugges. tion thrown out of adjourning tl.e examination until the day fixed for the final order; and if you will allow me, I will just add a word or two. Mr. Mathews's debts amount to 8,100/. ; out of this sum creditors to the extent of 4,000/. have signed to the proposition made by Mr. Mathews, for the gradual liquidation of their claims ; 2,0001. more are . willing to accede to it, but have not taken the trouble to come hore today; thus creditors to an extent of 6,000/. out of 8,0001. are willing to accept the terms proposed by Mr. Matliews. Mr. James—This is the first I have heard of this agreement ; but as the Court has the power of adjourning an insolvent's examina. tion for a few days without granting an interim order, I suggest that that would be the best to adopt, and the public would not be so unjust, atter reading or hearing this examination, as not to delay their opinion until the whole case was gone into. Sir C. F. WILLI&US—I would willingly adjourn the case, that more complete justice may be done to the creditors and Mr. Ma- thews ; but If there is 'no expectation of any solid benefit being the result, an adjournment would be waste of lime. Mr. ChaMbers— I solemnly believe that if an adjournment is granted, and Mr. 'Anderson, who now complains, looks carefully Into these transactions, he will be of a very different opinion at the next meeting. Mr. C. Mathews here said he wished to make a few observations In regard to the statement made in respect to Mrs. Mathews's Jewellery, which was, that in the year 1837, when Mrs. Mathews got into difficulties, and before he had the pleasure of knowing her, she had jewellery worth about 1,100!., and at that time it was found necessary not only for her to sell her property, but she was obliged to raise money upon her jewels ; and her adviser then said, " This is yotir stock in trade,"—and such was really the fact—for though it may seem to be an absurd thing, the greater portion of visitors in country theatres were ladies, and, conse quently, being well dressed was absolutely requisite. A good wardrobe was her stock in trade, and which gave her a supe. riority over many others. Mr. Watkins, who had raised the money for these jewels, laid that by paying three pounds per week, she could have the use of them, and go all over the world with them if she liked, and since 1837, no one had troubled themselves about them. At the time of the last insolvency, they were placed in the hands of Mr. Watkins, who asked if they might be placed in the hands of Messrs. Storr and Mortimer upon the same terms as he bad held them. He (Mr. C. Mathews) had got out of several scrapes by reason of them, for upon his arrest by Mr. Sloman, on the night of his benefit at Liverpool, he had to get money upon . them. Me had always paid 60 per cent except to Mr. Anderson, whe had- never taken any interest, and he (Mr. Mathews) could assure the Court, that besides a few articles of very trifling value, Mrs: Mathews had had no jewellery what rib defendant was the carman of the saute wharf, and, toge ther with Skinner, tiad concealed the. Ittt bates of tobacco which the iightertnert !testae amr Blrd had kept t)Ack.a , security for their ever, excepting those, which for the use of, she paid at the rate of 3/. per wed. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS did not wish to be niggardly in permitting an allowance to an insolvent; but still, a man in misfortune must not stand upon stilts, but come down, and settle with his creditors who were sutthring. A wan of honour, in such circumstances, would be the more respected by the publid the more he ahridged his parneut.. R verdict id this cae was also taken by eDnsent for the penalty of 200/. expenses. Mr. Mathews said the 30/. a week included )01. fog personal cx. pelmet, 101. for wardrobe expenses, W. a week for a carriage, which was much cheaper thap a hackney cab, and 01, for servants at the theatre. Mr. James thought that 5/. a week for a carriage was too much. Mr. Mathews—l can assure you it is cheaper than hiring A c a b; for in the first place we have to go to rehearsal, then M rs. Mathews has to go and make the necessary purchases for the ward robe. We have seldoin time to get a dinner until three o'clock ; and in the Meantime timve to run round to stop the mouths of creditors for 2,000/., at fiti, per cent. ; and for the last five years I haie never had time , to Allay S part except in a cab. I can do no more than offer my creditors $q one hilt of what I earn. Sir C. F. WILLIANIS—I thinklt is extremely liberal. Mr. Mathews said his reason for coming to this Court was to avoid angry discussion, by making a proposition of - giving half his gaiut, or 1,3001. 'a year, in liquidation of his debts, which he thought would have put an end to all bickerings; but if he was In have discussion, while he was paying, why then it would be prefer. able for him to go to the other Court, and bear a sentence of six months' remand, for defending actions and obtaining discounts, for then he might have time_ to study moral philosophy, but at the same time he would get rid of the 8,000/. Treat me and flog me too is too bad. _ FEBRUARY 9. (Sittings at Nisi Prius before Lord ABINGEB and a Mr. Chambers said that Mr. Mathews had acted very unad visedly in going to Paris. Common Jury.) After some further discussion an adjournment Was agreed to, till the )7th instant. The schedule, which consists of 27 double folio pages, states that the only property which he has consists of wearing' apparel, to the amount of Md., while the gross debts and liabilities are 8,1111. 19i. 10d. ; he has no credits, and no debts due to him, i Mr. and Mrl.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE then summed up the case. and went with great minuteness through the whole of the evidence. The jury retired, at half-past six o'clock, and were absent about three-quarters of an hour, when they re turned into Court and gave their verdict, finding the prisoner guilty upon the fourth count, in which the in tent was laid to be to do the prosecutor grievous bodily harm ; the jury at the same time begged leave to re commend the prisoner most strongly to the mercy of the Nun. The verdict appeared to create some surprise in the Court. CENTRAL CRI VIINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and Mr. Justice citessystt.) ► John Davis, alias -John Bligh, 22, and usury Robinson, 40 were indicted for a burglary' in the dwelling-house of Edwin Leaf, in the city 'of London, and stealing a quantity of ribbon, and some bandanna handkerchiefs, value 50/., his pro perty, and George Hirt, 47, was charged with feloniously receiving a portion of the property, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Wilkins defended Hirt. The other prisoners had no counsel. Several witnesses were called in support of the charge against the prisoners, but it will be unnecessary to give their evidence in detail. The premises of the prosecutor, in Cheap side, were entered on the night of the 10th October last, by the means of a skylight, the glass of which was removed, and the property mentioned in the indictment stolen there from. It was proved that very shortly after the robbery, the prisoner Hirt was found dealing with a portion of the stolen property, which he sold for 25/. to a person named Mosenden, in the Minories. The other prisoners were taken into custody in a room in their joint occupation, and upon a search being made, a number of duplicates referring to other portions of the stolen property were found on their premises, as were also a quantity of skeleton keys, and other house breaking implements. Mr. Justice Cresswell having summed up, the jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. Mr. Wilkins-moved an arrest of judgment, on the ground that the indictment merely charged the first-mentioned pri soners with having burglaricntsly entered the premises of the prosecutor, and stolen a quantity of ribbon, and did not charge them with entering the premises with intent to steal. The Court overruled the objection, and the prisoners were called up for judgment. Davis and Robinson, who were proved to have been before convicted of felony, were sen tenced to be transported for life, and Hirt was sentenced to be transported for ten years. Peter Patric was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Josiah Lawton, with intent to maim and disable him, or to do him grievous bodily harm. There were other counts in the indictment, which in some respects varied the form of the charge. The Attorney-General, Mr. Adolphus, Mr. Wad dington, and Mr. Johnson appeared for the Crown ; Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Wilde defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner is the captain of a merchant-vessel, called the Lydia, and in the month of December that vessel was in the Western Ocean, on her voyage home from Bahia to England. The prosecutor, who is an American, was a seaman on board the vessel, and it would appear, that prior to the transaction in question taking place, there had been some disagreement between the prosecutor and the mate of the vessel. Upon December 19, the prosecu tor'had to go aloft to make some alterations in the rigging, and he found it drawn so tight that he could not do what he wanted, and he came down upon deck and asked the mate:for a•marline spike to break or cut the rigging with. The mate asked him wheth er h e th oug ht that he carried marline-spikes in his pocket, and the prisoner interfered, and insisted that the rigging should not be cut, and ordered him aloft to perform his duty properly,,. The prosecutor, upon this, again went up the rigging ; and, after a short time had elapsed, the pri soner ordered him upon deck, and said he had a g' od mind to give him a flogging for his misconduct. The prosecutor had, before this, abused the mate, and called him a lubber. The captain then ordered the pro secutor to be taken aft, and some of the crew obeyed the command ; but the moment the prosecutor was released, he rushed at the mate and threw him down across a water-cask, and while they were in this position the mate called out for help, and said that the prosecutor was " gouging" him. The prisoner, who had a sheathed sword in his hand, rushed at the prosecutor, and made several cuts at him, inflicting injuries upon his arm, shoulder, and hands, the little finger of one of which was cut oft: The prosecutor called out that he was bleeding to death, upon which the prisoner desisted, and gave directions that every attention should be paid to hint.

On Thursday the Lord Mayor received the following note from the British Consul at Boulogue-sur-Mer:— " British Consulate, Boulogne-sur-bier, Feb. 7,1844. My Lord,--I have the honour to convey to your Lordship two infant children, named James Stephen and Robert William, illegimate by Lydia Sanders, of Croydon, lately deceased in this place, and as they are totally destitute, I have no other alternative but to forward them to your Lordship, which I now do by the stewardess of the Emerald steam-packet, who has kindly _taken charge of them. Inclosed are the cer tificates of their baptism.---I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient humble servant, " W. HAMILTON, " British Consul at Boulogne-sur-Mer." Yesterday Mr. Jopp, the relieving-officer of the City of London Union, caused the children, one of whom ap peared to be about five, and the other between two and three years old, to be brought into the presence of the Lord Mayor, and stated, that having observed that a warrant had been issued for the apprehension of one Lydia Sanders, upon suspicion of being concerned in one of the will forgeries with other parties, it occurred to him that it would be proper to communicate the fact of the remarkable coincidence to his Lordship, in order that some inquiry might be made about the mother, for the sake of the pending investigation; as well as with the view of relieving the City parish in which the chil dren were landed from the burden of maintaining them. By the new poor-law it was regulated that, from and after the year 1834, illegitimat e ildren should follow the settlement of the mother, and as it was probable th;it the difficulty of ascertainizg the settlement of the ruo• ther in this case would be very great, the children would be fastened upon the parish in which they were landed, which was that of *t. Magnus, London-bridge—an in tolerable hardship upon that parish, into which almost all the steamers disgorged the poor and helpless of all nations. The Lon") MAYOR clesirgd to know whether anything could be collected from the children themselves as to their father and mother ?—Mr. Jopp replied that the children could not speak a word of English, and were very bashful-; and all he could understand from their answers to the questions put to them was, that their mother was dead, and their father was in Paris. Mr. Goodman (the Chief Clerk to the Lord Mayor), said it appeared from the certificate of baptism that one of the children was baptised in 1839, and the other in 1842. 'The LORD MAYOR expressed a wish that the British Consul had transmitted to him a certificate of the death of the mother. His Lordship did not suppose there was anything. except the name to warrant a suspicion that the mother of the children was the person charged with having been concerned in the alleged will forgeries, and that the fact of the admitted illegitimacy of the chil dren confirmed the belief that the deceased was not the. in(livithutl about whoth so much had been said, as the former was a married woman. Mr. Jopp said that the younger child was evidently in a bad state of health, and had a sore head. They were both without more clothes than they were co vered with. The LORD MAYOR desired that the children should be taken care of in the house, and that the parish officers should forthwith write to the French Consul for a certi- cate .of the death of the mother, and every other infor mation that could be obtained, relative to her, with the view of ascertaining the precise place of her settlement. We believe his Lordship also directed that the elder boy should be taken to the Giltspur-street Compter, into the presence of Mrs. Dorey. A CASE or GREAT DISTRESS.—Mr. Harding, Mr. Obbard, and several other gentlemen of the Court of Common Council, waited upon the Lord Mayor to re present the case of four poor helpless children, whose father, Mr. Mark Anthony Harris, lately a respectable merchant iu this city, but utterly ruined by the awful fires of Hamburgh, poisoned himself in a state of insanity occasioned by extreme distress. The mother of these poor yoimg creatures—the eldest of whom, they said, was not I'2 years of age—died about six years ago, and the ,unfortunate father, after having struggled against that heavy affliction, which was dreadfully aggravated by-the ealanlity which reduced him to such a condition as not to be able to procure them a morsel of bread, sank under the weight. On the table of his bed-room the following, in his hand-writing, as proved upon the Coroner's inquest, was found : In cross-examination, it appeared that the prisoner seemed very much surprised that he had cut the pro secutor, and that the moment he ascertained that he had done so, he did all he could to stop the bleeding, and afterwards furnished the prosecutor with every necep nary he required from his own cabin. The prosecutor also admitted that he had spoken very uncivilly to the mate, and although he denied that he attempted to " gouge" him, be admitted that during the scuffle with the mate, and while the latter was thrown down across the water-cask, his fingers accidentally got very near the mate's mouth, and it was at the same time explain;.d that the operation of " gouging" was performed by forcing the thumbs into the mouth, and th en scoop i ng out th eyes with the fingers. The prosecutor al s o sa id that there was some talk among the crew of his having said that he was sorry he did not cut the mate's- - but he denied having once made use of such an expression. It was likewise proved, that upon one occa sion, when the prosecutor was at the helm, and all the crew were on the look-out for a shoal, lie veered the ship two or three points, and thus endangered the safety of the ship. • Some others of the crew were examined in corrobora tion of the evidence of the prosecutor, but their test iniony did not in any material respect alter the complexion of the case as detailed in the above narrative ; and all the Witnesses admitted, in cross-examination, that the pri soner's conduct to them had been uniformly kind throughout the voyage, and no dispute had taken place with any of the crew except the prosecutor, and no man had been punished on hoard the vessel. It was admitted the prisoner, when he first attacked the prosecutor, struck him with the sheathed sword, and it appeared very pus sib!e that the scabbard had come off accidentally during the fray. Medical evidence was adduced to show that the in ' juries inflicted upon the prosecutor. were of a somewhat serious character ; but it appeared that he was now nearly recovered. _ _ "Christmas-day, 1848. " There is no hope ; no more. Oh God, forgive me ! lam in despair ! What will become of my dear chil dren ? God will protect them--I cannot. But the un fortunate father can only bless them.—M. A. II." The LORD Mayon raid the circumstances of the case caused a most fearful sensation in the City, in which the character of the deceased gentleman was well known to be respectable, and he should feel much gratification in rendering the poor orphans any service in his power. Mr. Harding declared that they had not a relative in this country, and they were without even a change of linen. There were three girls and one boy, and he was sure that if the benevolence which so abounded in the metropolis were attracted to the deplorable condition of the destitute daughters and son of the unfortunate Mr. Harris, by . Iris Lordship's charitable interposition,, the appeal would not be ineffectual. " rhe LORD MAYOR—I shall most willingly receive subscriptions for the benefit of the orphans, and any other service in whatever form which the judiciously directed benevolence of those wh o are c o nstant l y i n may r en d er ; an d I h ave ro public press to g i ve it s powerful aid even at this time of pre ss i ng an d i mportant t t i f o u u es b t t of of ttlie:rviv,iiinligngiobijeeessts, of the business, The applicant thanked his Lordship in the name of the poor orphans, and, stated that subscriptions would be received, not only at the Mansion-house, but at Ran som's Bank, No. 1, Pall-mall East ; and by Mr. Har ding, at 164, Fleet-street. . . C LERKEN WELL. Joseph Kinq, the driver of a cabriolet, badge 8,148, was charged with the following outrageous conduct by Mr. Samuel Warren, a barrister, residing at 35, Woburn- Place, Russell-square, and 12, 'King's Bench-walk, Temple. Mr. Warren deposed that, on Monday evening last, he engaged the- defendant in Chancery-lane to convey. him to his house in Woburn-place ; when. they arrived there witness handed him a shilling as his fare. The defendant murmured, and used abusive language, say ing,-ou . " " remonstrated iie nleatclyou in my cab I wi ll s pill i with him, but h e b ecause T 1 n Witnessea t t more insolent, exclaiming that a shilling was not enough for driving such a distance, and through the snow. Wit ness asked him to show his badge ; but he refused doing so, and when the footman seized the horse by the head, the defendant said • he would cut him with his whip ; after much diffi cu lty witness succeeded in taking down the number of the badge, and then the defendant inso lently demanded his card, which witness refused to give, telling him that was his house, and that he knew where to find him. Witness was going up the steps to his door, when the defendant ran before him, and placing himself in the door-Way, refused to allow him to enter. Witness asked if he meant to prevent him going into his own house,! upon which he demanded 4d. mare, and pushed him, complainant, from the door. After a struggle wit ness succeeded in getting into the hall, and, as his wife was nervous, bolted the door in order to prevent further annoyance. The prisoner, however, rushed against it shoulder foremost, and burst it in. Witness was stand ing near the door at the time, had he been an inch nearer he believed he would have been killed by the door com ing in collision with his head. The defendant renewed his insolence, and a policeman was sent for, who removed This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Wilkins then made a most able address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner ; and he observed that he was in a condition to prove that he was a man of courage and humanity, • and quite incapable of committing an attack upon any person under his command, unless under circumstances:of great provocation, and that he would not do it then unless it became absolutely neces sary for the safety of the vessel, and the lives of the passengers under his - , charge. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to 'say, that the prosecutor had miscon ducted himself most grossly, and upon his attacking the mate and the latter calling out that the prosecutor was " gouging" him, he rushed to the assistance of his offic,r intending to strike the prosecutor with th e s h ea th e d sword, hut the scabbard coming off', he, not knowing the fact, had accidentally inflicted the injuries upon Mr. Wilkins went on to say, that for forty years the prisoner had served in the Royal Navy and in the titer- I chant service, and had conducted himself uniformly with the utmost bravery and honour ; and it was not Rely, j therefore, that he should have misconducted himself in the way 'described. ' i Evidence was' then adduced on behalf of the defendant, to the effect that at Bahia, the prosecutor wished to leave the vessel, but on the captain refusing to allow him to do so, he said the captain should have no good i out of him, and he would have his revenge before he got home. The mate of the vessel also proved the fact, that a few days befive the 19th of December, while all the crew were on the look out for a shoal, the prosecutor said, that he had knocked the ship about two or three points in order that the captain might find , fault with him, when he said he would have a -- row. At this time the vessel was near a shoal, and the pro ceeding of the prosecutor was attended with great dan ger. The mate likewise proved that, on the night the transaction took place, the captain ordered the prosecutor to go forward, anctgave him a slight push ; upon which he called out, " All . hands witness that I ani struck," and immediately knocked the captain down. He (the mate) interfered, and the prisoner laid hold of him, and swore_he would do for him. The captain then or dered two others of the crew to take Lawton aft. After this Lawton again said that he would do for him, and made a second blow at him, and then they had a scuffle, anti Lawton got him on the water-cask, and put two of his fingers into his mouth, and tried to " gouge " him. He called out that the prosecutor was trying to do so, and the captain .then came to his'assistance, when Law ton immediately turned upon him and knocked him against the rails. The captain then struck the prosecu tor once or twice on the head with something he had in his hand, and he at the same time said, " You scoun drel, do you-mean - to murder us ?" Shortly afterwards the prosecutor appeared to be bleeding, and the captain was very much surprised at it. The mate also proved that, during his scale with the prosecutor, he was cut upon the foot in two places. The mate in his evidence denied that he saw a sword in the captain's hand, anti also said that he had not even seen a sword on board the vessel. • him with much difficulty. The prisoner acknowledged the offence, and, crying bitterly, entreated of the Magistrate not to send him to prison. His wife had been in Ilanwell Lunatic Asylum for the last two years, and there was nobody to take care of his three little children if he were imprisoned. Boyson, the warrant officer, said he believed the man's statement was correct ; when he served the sum- mons he saw three little children in the prisoner's apart ment in Eagle-street, lied Liop-square, without any body to take care of them. The place seemed very wretched. Mr. Wilkes; overseer of St. Andrew's, Holborn, was sent for, and he recollected having obtained admission for Sarah King, two years ago, at !Unwell. • Mr. Warren said that he did not wish to press the charge against the prisoner under such circumstances. The prisoner's master and other respectable persons came forward, and gave him a good character, and Mr. COMBE, in consequence, mitigated the penalty, 51., which he had in the first instance imposed, to 10s. and the costs. Philip Ramsey Allen, the steward of the vessel, proved that 'as the captain was going up the stairs from his ca bin to the deck with his sword in his hand, a part of the leather sheath fell to the gtound, and he picked it up, and now produced it..-He also proved that he followed the captain upon the deck, and saw him give the prose cutor four or live " licks" with the sheathed sword. He had often tried to draw the blade from the sheath, but could not do so on account of it being fixed in so tightly. He 'heard the prosecutor say that he was bleeding, and the captain said he would not believe him. When, how ever, he found that he really was wounded, he gave witness directions to get some linen to dress the wound., and to tear up his shirts, •or anything else for that pur pose. The witness likewise stated that the prisoner was a very kiri'd captain, and always behaving well to his crew. In' answer to a question from the Court. He:(wit ness) said that he never saw the sword again after the evening in question. • Mr. Banner, a medical gentleman of Liverpool, who saw the prosecutor ip the Northern Hospital at that place, expressed' hi opinion that none of the injuries he had received were likely to be dangerous to life. He also said that, in his opinion, such a portion of a swo r d as might have been - covered by the portion of the broken sheath produced, would have caused the injuries that the prosecutor appeared to have received. The wound that. appeared in'front of the scalp he did not think was, inflicted by any cutting instrument, but was more likely to have been occasioned by such an instrument as a handcuff, a pair of which, it appeared, the prisoner had on his hands at the time he attacked the prosecutor. A number of highly respectable witnesses, merchants and shipowners in Liverpool and London, were then called, and they gave the prisoner a high character for hunianity and benevolence of disposition. Captain Henderson, the Commander of the Gorgon steam frigate at the siege of Acre, proved that the pri soner was a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1815, and always bore the character of a gallant and humane man. Captain, Chappell, another officer in her Majesty's Navy, gave sinallar ,testimony. . the cause of Mr. Lambert, and concluded with im pressive appeals for them to be ready at their post of duty. Shortly afterwards Mr. Lambert's arrival was announced, and received with very great applause. Mr. LAMBERT then rose, and said he was sorry he could not address them at any length, as he had another engagement to attend to ; however, by their kind permission while there, he would do himself the honour of saying a few words. on a subject which they were pretty well aware of, he alluded to the %-a ea-my which had occurred in their municipal corpora tion.—(Cheers.) Now he was quite satisfied that if they properly exerted themselves, and their friends proved true, then the result of the election would be what they desired, and what their adversaries antici pated.—(hear, hear.) At the same time, were they not thus to exert themselves, then they might depend that success would attend the wily efforts of their op ponents. By the very numerous and respectable as semblage then present, it was quite evident that they were now in such a positiorias to be enabled to pro perly test what their real strength was, and which it would be very • satisfactory for them to ar rive at.—(llear, hear, and cheers.) That is, they Would by this test know who their real' friends were, and who in heart were their opponents ; and they would further know whether in the ward of St. Thomas they were in a majority or minority. He would therefore exhort them to diligence and perse verance and he would also exhort the m t o encourage a conciliatory spirit and unanimity one with another, and they may rely that truth and justice must be the stars for them to sail by. And they may also rely that if they suffered themselves to be diverted from those paths, just in proportion would their cause suffer by it.—(Ch eers .) All petty ani mosity should be entirely done away with, and it was to their interest, equally as much as it was their duty, to make as many friends as they possibly could. And they must bear in mind that a faithful discharge of their political duty was as much a part of the Christian code, as that of loving their enemies. And if they were not prepared to love their political enemies, then they were not fit to carry on their cause ; and this was the test by which they must alone hope to carry the day.—(Hear, hear.) And if they could not love their political enemies, then he would tell them that they could not expect to suc ceed ; but if so, then there was something in their enemies' hearts which would at length yield to kind reasoning; and this they must do by continuing to bring before them truth, which must prevail! Truth was of a very slow progress, and so was Christianity, which had now been in the world 1,800 years : and the triumph of their cause may also be very slow, but at the same time it was certain.—(Cheers.) He had now much stronger hopes of success in the forth coming contest than he had on the last occasion ; and he would only tell them this, that if they did not carry their point this time it would not be the fault of their enemies but of themselves.—(Mr. Lambert here directed the attention of the meeting to an anonymous letter, which he said he received subse quently to the late municipal election contest for St. Martin's Ward, when Mr. Kelsey, the Tory candi date, defeated him by only sixteen votes, and when a majority of at least forty votes was expected.) Mr. Lambert also said he had abundant proof in his pos session that this criticism on the late election was in the hand-writing of a gentleman of independent for tune and of undoubted respectability, who had always hitherto acted with the Conservative party, and who vote l against him on that last occasion. The follow ing is a copy of this anonymous epistle : " Salisbury, Jan. 10, 1844. IN CANALS, RAILWAYS, BANKS, ASSURANCE ...s.ND OTHER COMPANIES' STOCK.

" Such was the heading of a handbill announcing the close of the poll at the election of a town-councillor for the Ward of St. Martin, the result of which was much as it was expected it would be, except that the majority for Mr. E. E. P. Kelsey was about sixteen less than even his own party thought it would be—indeed, some of that party imagined that Mr. Lambert would not poll twenty votes. However, no one expected that Mr. Lambert would succeed on that occassion ; but it was a good beginning, and promises a better result in future. " It is to be hoped the electors will not hereafter be dictated to by half a dozen ultra-Tories, who have the last few years carried everything their own way in Sa lisbury, disbursed the borough funds just as they pleased, and distributed the city charities, and most of the subordinate offices, amongst their own party. " The election busy-bodies were going about last week, saying, You must not vote for a Catholic,' (Rowan Catholic, no doubt, they meant); you must support the Church,' and such twaddle ; as if the Pro testant Church would be at all endangered by a Roman Catholic becoming a town-councillor. Some few of,the electors were led away by such an argument, but many were too sensible to be misled : they know that Roman Catholics, Dissenters, Quakers, &c., are all by law eligible fur seats in the town-council as well as in Par liament ; and it is but j u st th a t a ll sec t s and easses should b represented in offices of town and state. " In Salisbury, I am happy to say, there is a great deal of talent and ability amongst the Liberal party; and it is a pity they have not come forward during the last four years for the different offices. They should recollect the maxim of Nothing venture, nothing have.' They should consider what has been gained by their party in the kingdom during the last fifteen or twenty years." Now the Conservative party denied the existence of such correspondence, and said that if such did exist the author was not a Conservative gentleman (as he had stated in his printed' address). But the evidence which he (Mr. L) could submit, to substantiate his assertion, would convince the most sceptical party, and he was perfectly willing to refer it to the most ultra-Tory. He could offer evidence to show that the stamp on the paper of .this anonymous letter cor responded with another sheet of paper on which the author wrote him a letter in his own name previously; that precisely the same abreviations were employed in these two letters, and on close comparison had found that the author wrote on both occasions with the same " black lines," though the first letter he had received from, him was nine moDths ago. Still he owed this gentleman no and his letter was a proof that they had conducted them selves in a proper manner.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") And if there.was one among them that had not acted properly, he was altogether unworthy of the cause which he espoused, and .should be disregarded as such. —(Cheers.) And the same remark he may apply to the anonymous writer, or any other of his party. All he could say was, that had any of his (Mr. Lambert's) party written and published such a letter, he ought to be viewed by them in a very suspicious manner. As he had told them on a former occasion, so he would now repeat, that ho was prepared to fight their battles again and again, till, by dint of perseverance, they got a majority.—(Cheers.) Some person had made a reniark by saying, " Get a majority in your munici-: pal affairs, and then you may leave your other matters to the boys I " There , was great truth in this, for he had heard that certain underlings, good men at heart, had been heard to confess that, in their hearts they were on their side--(Cheers) —but were compelled to vote against their consciences, in order to secure their own living. Now he would enumerate about six of those men, who, if they. thus had a majority, would. be on their side—(Hear, hear)—and these six men would reduce the majority of 47 to that of 35. (Cheers.) Then he would observe, that it was not only these men, but there were sextons, bell-ringers, and others, to whom the same remarks were applica ble, so that it was for them to carry out their system,. and finally they would obtain a majority for Members to serve in Parliament. ,He wished to impress on them, that they wanted nothing but honest men on their side; they wanted, as it had been before said, at the election, no sneaking, shirking, or snivelling fellows among them, for such characters he detested. —(Hear, hear.) And if they had none of that character among them, then they would soon be enabled to discover who were their real friends. They, would have no battledore and shuttlecock men, who could be tossed first to one side and then to the other, backwards and forwards con tinually—(Laughter) —for if they were not honest and - firm to their cause, let them go on the opposite side, and God speed them. So if there was any man in the opposite ranks that was not firm to their cause, let him • come to their side, and they would receive him. And if they established them se l ves on a good basis, on the .principles of truth and justice, they must at length prevail.—(Cheers.) With regard to the forthcoming contest, he would repeat that he . had strong hopes of success —(Reiterated cheering) —if they properly exerted themselves, and which they appeared most determined to do. He would now thank them for their very kind attention, and re gretted that he could not remain longer with them. In conclusion, he most sincerely trusted that success might attend their honest endeavours.—(Cheers.) Mr. Lambert then retired, amidst great cheering, after which his health was responded to with deafen ing _applause. Mr. EDWARD VANDiNTIOFF next addressed the meeting at some length, in the course of which he alluded to the qualifications of Mr. Lambert as being very eminent for the office to which he aspired, whe ther they viewed him as a 'man of property, of great attainments, moral rectitude, goodness of heart, and charitable in all his views; constructions, and actions, Amount Stourbridge .

The address of Mr. Lambert was then read, and re ceived with evident marks of approbation, when some gentleman present rose and proposed a gentleman named Fulford, a linendraper of the High-street, who is the opponent of Mr. Lambert, on the Con servative interest, as a fit and proper persoit for their support ; whereupon a third party proposed that a deputation should be dispatched to Mr. Fulford to request that he would be pleased to honour the meet ing with his presence, and to state his political senti ments, and his opinion of the manner in which their municipal elections h a d been and ought to be con ducted; and finally, if re t urne d, whether he would vote that the business o f th e.e ity may be conducted with open doors, or in the dark, as at present. This proposi tion, however, was overruled, on the ground that it would he a waste of time, it being evident that Mr. Fulford would go the whole hog for the Tories, although. Mr. F. had issued no address.
