PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—We revert to our position that price or payment, in private transactions, is no matter for discussion or regulation—except as regards the ful filment of contracts. This position is recalled to our minds by what we can term only vague extravagance —the notions promulgated of the required interference of third parties, or public authorities, in settling the money rate at which labour should be remunerated. It may be deemed just retribution on the landed class that they . should all at once find themselves assailed with precisely similar clamours about oppressing the labour employed by them, to those which, for a series of years, their organs and mouth-pieces have showered on the manufacturers. All such clamours, however, raised indiscriminately against any class— all claims, vaguely insisted on, to rates of remunera tion without reference to means—all assertions of oppression merely deduced from existing distress — we regard as of bad example, and not of allowable imitation. It is not because Mr. Ferrand, or such persons, were cheered on by country gentlemen in their coarse and false aspersions on the classes opposed to the corn-laws, that we shall think our selves free to perpetrate reprisals of equal coarse ness, and equal falseness. Neither do we think ourselves, or any other third parties, or any Legisla ture, competent, or entitled, to fix what money wages such or such employers can pay. Denunciations and demands of this kind are coming thick on the lended interest. They are coming thick on them at A timetwhen, it is too notorious that the solvent part of them are not too solvent—the employers not too ready to employ labour on any terms. Under such circumstances, what can be : the nse of phrases like those of a writer in Fraser's Magazine for the present month, who says that " industrious and wil ling men struggle hard to keep out of the workhouse, even though they be offered for their week's labour no more than eight, or at the most ten shillings." What can be the use of vaguely 4 stating it as the duty of the landlord to see "that his labouring de pendents are remunerated for their work at a just rate of wages ?" What is a just rate of wages? In the writer's mind it seems ten shillings a week are not a just rate. In how many places does the writer suppose farm labour can earn more than ten shillings ? Or by what process are farmers to be made to pay more than the labour is to them worth ? Nothing to us can be more certain than that it is mere throwing the words to the wind to talk ge nerally about this or that rate of wages as the one suitable to be dictated—or—what is worse—de nouncing all rates now paid as unfit to be en dured. Much, much more research into the past than these writers seem to have exercised—much more inquiry into the present money-payments iu other countries (for, be it remarked, we have no longer the sort of monopoly of traffic which placed us do a different level) —much more, in a word, of knowledge of all that enters into prices, and means of payment—is required, before either landlords or essayists can dictate what wages farmers can pay. But these attempts at erecting some fixed standard of money payments—or talking vaguely about some standard, which never has been erected—flow the most naturally in the world from the long blind worship of the golden calf. Why, indeed, should labourers be the only class in whose favour no talk should be made of " remunerating prices," and of securing those prices by direct dictation? Alas, alas I—it is just when all this effort has broken down in behalf of their employers, that it is now idly claimed for the employed ! Equally idle, as it appears to us, is the notion that direct means are available for enabling, in the new style now in vogue, labourers to rise above the class of labourers. ow did Benjamin Franklin rise from the rank of a journeyman printer ? By means open to the common class of minds? By steps adjusted to that end expressly ? Assuredly not ; find assuredly no such stepping stones can raise the ordinary members of any class into another. It is only the most energetic and vigorous spirits in any class that rise out of it; the true object is to enable the mass oVmen to enjoy well-being in the sphere where their lot is Cast. The true subject of complaint is not that those trained to manual labour continue labourers : society has manual - work to be done; and those habituated3to it are, and continue, the fittest to do it. The true complaint is, that the lot of labour is depressed r below the conditions of well-being. The remedy must be sought for this ; and, if found, it will also, be found a remedy for the injustice suffered by the bompara- Lively few, whose energies, if less weighed down, might have raised them to a higher sphere than that in which their lot was originally east. We shall be asked, however, how we ourselves propose to ame liorate the lot of labour. And we should say that a great step in that direction were the perception of having hitherto pursued a wrong one. If the whole effort to keep the higher classes of the agricultural interest at an artificial level has proved a failure—the remedy will likeliest be found in trying back towards a natural state of things. STANDARD.—SeveraI friends have written to us upon the subject of the pecuniary difficulties in which the Rev. Mr. Mathew is said to be involved, asking why we have not alluded to the affair, and also inquiring as to the estimated amount of the reverend gentleman's debts. These inquiries in some measure answer the one the other. It is chiefly because we have, never heard any guess at the amount of Mr. Mathew's embarrassments, that we have abstained from rendering him all the assistance that we could; for none can give the reverend gentleman more credit than we do for the purest and most ardent benevolence none appreciate more highly the benefits that he has con ferred upon the empire ! Here, however, is the difficulty that has perplexed us and that must per plex others a difficulty that the persons who manage Mr. Mathew's concerns can dissipate at once if they please, and which they will please to dissipate if they are honest. Large sums of money have been received in Mr. Mathew's name and on his account, but we are not aware that he has been subjected to any considerable expense, beyond the demands of mere locomotion, which in our day are not exorbitant. No human being will suspect Mr. Mathew of pecuniary meanness or of any other meanness ; but the disappearance of the large sums that have been levied on his account and in his name, must lead to the suspicion that there has been foul play among those about him, and this suspicion will be much ag gravated if it is found that not only has the great amount collected disappeared, but that the reverend gentleman is heavily in debt. If such suspicions are well founded, it is plain that to contribute, as it is called, to the relief of Mr. Mathew would be merely to pamper the rogues who have robbed him, and the public through him. There is another point that calls for explanation before Englishmen and loyal men put their hands into their pockets to pay Mr. Mathew's debts. Is it true, as stated in an Irish newspaper, that great part of Mr. Mathew's debts have been incurred in aiding the outfit of what are called " temperance bands ? ' If it is true, we say at once, loyal Englishmen hold your hands. These temperance bands are really' the most mischievous nuisance in Ireland; they are, without a figure, trumpeters of sedition and of reli gious bigotry ; they are the staff of Mr. O'Connell's rebel army, and the inseparable companions of every insolent or seditious movement. Certainly no pru dent man will be a party to paying debts incurred in organising this most insulting and dangerous nuisance MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Nov. 1.) Suown.—To-day importers of West India Sugar were less inclined to realise, and the demand being good they obtained prices rather above those of yesterday for the lower kinds, and former rates for the better qualities, so that prices closed the same as on Friday last ; 500 were sold to-day, making the total sales for the week 2,200 hbds and tree. REFINED.—A further reduction in prices having been submitted to for Refined goods, the Home trade have been induced to purchase largely ; brown lumps have been selling a 71s to 71s 6d, standard lumps 72s to 72s 6d, tittlers eommon to middling 71s 6d to 745, good 75s to 775, fine 78s to 83s, Timbre.' loaves 72s to 82s, double ditto 83s to 90s, and wet lumps 70s to 71s per cwt.Bastartis at 381 to 425, middling 43s to 465, good 47s to 50s, and fine 51s to 55s per cwt. For pieces there are still several purchasers, but prices are not so high, fine selling at 68s to 70s, good middling and good 66s to 673 6d, middling 62s to 655, and low 57s to 61s per cwt. Treacle is firm in price and good request - boiled from West India Mo lasses at 19s to 193 6d. Patent 21s to 225, and Golden Syrup 23s to 27s per cwt. MAURITIUS.—The supply at market this week has been principally of brown, low yellow, and grey sorts, which are not much wanted, and a decline in prices of is to 2s per cwt has Milo place; mid dling good and fine yellow kinds, "however, have sustained the former currency, and are in demand, but few parcels are to be had privately. At auction, 1,631 bags were disposed of, common brown at 40s to 425, middling 44s to 455, good 47s to 48s, fine 50s 6d, middling grey 521; a few lots of yellow went at 52s for low, 53s 6d for middling, and 60s for good ; 2 casks of very low brown were sold at 35s 6d per cwt ; there has been ono arrival, and the stock is 7,502 bags more than it was last year at this period. BAST INDIA.— Th un is tin afternoon two largo parcels of Bengal Spgar, or amo un ting bags, were brought to public sale, 1,500 yellow, and although they consisted of chrystalised slightly tainted by sulphur, still the whole sold w at er hi ;the v iddling 63s fetched 67s to 6 95, good 65, to a s h r G a d tes, Dobah fino to 63s 6d, damp and washed 598 to 62s l a ov !iar ric o e n s ly fin o e f consisted of common yellow and brown,* remainder consisted which found purchasers at comparatively brown sold at 46s to 47s 6d, good 44s to 44s I', middling 41s, damp and washed 40s to 479, low yellow but bright , - 50s to 51s, damp and washed, 46s to 48s 6d; there was no white in the sale. FOREIGN.—In Brazil there has been only a limited business transacted by private treaty, but importers sup ply the market sparing* : brown is held for the previ bus currency, but for white rather lower rates have been accepted ; 22s having been taken for a floating cargo of 730 chests of Bahia for Refining here under bond, the buyer paying the landing charges. Only 31 chests Pernambuco, all damaged, have been offered at auction, which sold at 16s to 17s for low soft yellow, and 15s to 15s 6d per cwt. for brown. Holders of yellow Havannah have shown firmness, and refused to sell but at full rates. White 26s to 275, middling and good 28s to 30s, and fine 31s to 32s per cwt. Porto Rico is held for the former currency. MOLASSES.-West India are held with firmness, and the market is not largely supplied : a parcel of good Antigua has been sold at 24s per cwt. East India cannot be purchased upon lower terms, but there is at present not much demand : one cask of Madras in bond at public sale was taken in at 7s 6d, and 17 hhds of Ben gal Treacle at 21s per cwt, duty paid. RICE.-For Java less demand has prevailed this week, and former rates are barely supported. Middling white rather broken at lOs to lOs 6d, good middling ditto lOs 6d to 1 Is, and good bold 12s 6d ; sea damaged how ever all sold at es 6d to 9s 6d, ditto and repacked 5s to 9s 6d per cwt.

Bengal mid and good white at lls to 12s per cwt. Cleaned Rice at 23s to 27s fur Carolina, and 13s fid to 18s per cwt for Patna. .. COFFEE.-The market has been better supplied with the superior sorts of Jamaica Coffee this week, and which have met with ready purchasers for home con sumption, at fair but not at high rates. This afternoon a brisker demand existed for Ceylon Coffee; and 979 bags at public sale were all sold at former rates, real good ord pale went at 525, fine ordinary ditto 53s to 545, sea damaged 495, damaged in the country 51s 6d, Triage 12s to 30s 6d ; fine fine ordinary sound colory grey De merara sort 59s 6d to 635, fine ord 56s to 58s, low mid 67s to 745, Pea Berry 70s to 78s, sea damaged 54s 6d to 655, and Triage 32s to 48s. 100 bags low Singapore Java, mixed with blacks, were taken in at 29s per cwt. For public sale on Tuesday 1,000 bags of Ceylon, nearly all plantation ; 550 bales of Mocha ; and for Wednesday 70 casks of Jamaica Coffee are declared.

SALTPETRE.-This afternoon the market was better supplied with rough, and buyers wero less inclined to do business: at public sale 224 bags of Madras, and 1,002 bags of Calcutta were offered, a part only found purchasers at a decline on former rates of 6d for the better, and 6d to is per cwt for low and mid qualities.

INDIGO.-To-day there was less business doing in East India Indigo in consequence of the accounts being highly favourable for the crop ; the general estimates are 140,000 to 150,000 ; some parties estimate it as high as 160,000 maunds; half the crop had been secured in ex cellent condition. OILS.-There has been a large demand for Linseed Oil this week,at 23s 6d to 23s 9d per cwt on the spot, and for forward delivery many purchases have been made at similar rates ; the market is still well supplied with Oil. Rape is not much wanted, and there are sellers at 35s 6d to 36s for pale, and 34s 6d to 35s for brown. For Cocoa Nut Oil 27s to 29s 6d per cwt is the value. Palm 26s to 275. In Olive Oil there has been a good business transacted-Gallipoli at 441 to 44/ 10s, Spanish 411 to 43/, and Barbary, &c. 401 to 401 lOs per tun. For common sorts of Fish Oils there are very few export orders, and the demand has been limited from the home trade : holders have experienced difficulty in ob taining 351 to 3515 s for pale Seal, 33/ for Cod, and 27l to 32110 s per tun for low to fine Southern. The stock of Seal Oil is not above half of what it was last year at this period. In Southern there is little difference ; arrivals of Cod are near at hand. With Sperm 881 to 90/ per tun is the value of fine British. TALLOW -Importers of Russian have been more inclined to realise this week, in consequence of there having been large arrivals, and accepted prices 3d to 6d per cwt under those previously quoted. On the spot, however, there has been a good business trans acted, at 40s 3d to 40s 6d for old, and at 40s 9d to 41s per cwt for new Petersburgh yellow candle; at these moderate rates some of the trade are inclined to get well into stock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Francis Patrick llPDermot, one of the City police men, was brought before Sir John Pirie upon the charge of having been the confederate of a thief in robbing a gentleman. Mr. Timothy Jones, of No. 8, Racquet-court, Fleet-street, stated that on Monday last, at about half-past eleven o'clock at night, he went into the Burton Coffee-house, in Cheapside. He was cer tainly excited at the time, and a man, who appeared to be a Jew, asked him to drink. As witness was leaving the place, the person who tasked him to drink was waiting for him, and struck him. The blow was repeated, and the assailant followed witness and con tinued his violent conduct. Witness missed his watch, and his stick was also lost in the scuffle which took place. Witness went to the defendant, and pointing to the person who had acted so outrageously, requested him to take the offender into custody. The defendant refused to take the man into custody, and witness then said he was determined to go to the station-house and report the case. He accordingly reported the case at the station-house, and the defendant was sent for, but there was some difficulty in finding him, and indeed he was not found at all ; but when witness was going to the station-house he saw the person who had as saulted and robbed him and the defendant speaking together, and a woman was following them. Sir JOHN PIRIE —Had you been drinking? Wit ness replied that he had been drinking, but he knew what he had been about. The stick produced, and the knob to it was his property. Inspector Waller stated, that at six o'clock in the morning of the night of the robbery he was on duty at the Bow-lane station, and, in consequence of information which he had received, he called the de fendant into his room, and asked him if he had heard about the robbery. The defendant said he did know of it. Witness said to him, "Do you know anything about the stick the gentleman had ?" He replied that he did, and that it must be there. Witness said it could not be there, as the thief had not been there; and then the stick dropped from his clothes, and he went into another room to be searched, and the knob of the stick was found upon him. Henry John Teague, policeman No. 402, stated that he requested the defendant to produce the pro perty, and the defendant went into another room with him, and pretended to feel about; he lifted up his trousers, and pulled it out of his boot. David Smith, policeman No. 482, stated that about half-past one o'clock he saw the defendant talking to a prostitute, and he afterwards saw her give him the stick, and the defendant gave him (witness) the stick. Witness sent the female away because the defendant said she was a prostitute. As soon as she went away witness saw defendant screw off the knob and put it in his pocket, and the defendant offered him the stick to take home to his children without the knob, and witness refused it. Sir JOHN PIRIE asked the prosecutor whether he had any doubt upon his mind that he pointed out the person who had robbed him to the defendant, and that the defendant had refused to take that party into cus tody ?—Mr. Jones said there was not the least doubt of the correctness of both statements. He distinctly saw the man who had robbed him and the defendant walking together, and in conversation, towards the Post- office. Sir JOHN PIRIE—WeII, defendant, what have you to say in answer to this charge ? Defendant —Well, Sir, I allow I acted wrong. I know it was all wrong, but I had been out and drink ing a great deal, and I didn't know what I was about. The fact is, I thought it was a mere row the gentle man got into, and I thought it would be better for him to go home and drop it. I know I have acted against the regulations of the force, but I was tipsy, and I am willing to give my own watch to the com plainant in the place of the one he lost. Sir J. PIRIE—Your conduct has been most atro cious, but I regret to say there is not evidence enough to justify me in sending yeu to the Old Bailey. That you have been a confederate to the robbery I have not the slightest doubt. The defendant—l know it was all bad—all wrong, my Lord ; but I was tipsy, I assure you. Sir J. PIRIE—You must go to Bridewell, as a rogue and vagabond, for a month, and of course you will have nothing more to do with the police. The defendant was then committed to Bridewell. WORSHIP- STREET. William Bear, a schoolmaster, in Brick-lane, Spi talfields, was charged with having most cruelly treated one of his pupils, a little boy, nine years of age, named Crowe. The substance of the little fellow's evidence (which, from his extreme youth, was naturally rather imper fect) was, that while cleaning his slate with his hand in the school-room, on Thursday week, the master, without uttering a word of remonstrance, came be hind him and cut him a great number of times across the head and ears with a thick cane. On the next day, in consequence of his having soiled his own brother's book, the defendant kept him in until all the rest of the scholars had left the school but three of them, whom the defendant ordered to stop for the purpose, and then almost stripped the child, and whilst the three boys held him to prevent his making any resistance, beat him very severely all over his back with four canes tied together so as to resemble a rod. He complained of suffering great pain from the in fliction of the punishment, and his person still exhi bited traces of the extreme violence that had been exercised towards him. The child's father (Police-constable 70 II) stated, that on coming off duty, at ten o'clock on the night of Thursday week, he heard the child, who was in bed, breathing very hard and groaning loudly, in consequence of which he examined him, and was ac quainted with the treatment he had received from his master. Pulling down the bedclothes, he found the whole of the child's back, from the shoulders to the feet, so shockingly scarified that it resembled a piece of raw meat, the canes having completely cut into the flesh. His wife urged him to take summary re taliation upon the master, but he resolved, instead, upon bringing him to this Court ; and it being at that time very late, and having to go on duty again early the next morning, he saw nothing more of the child until he returned home the next (Friday) night, at nine o'clock. On entering the room he found the child's face and neck completely covered with blood, owing, as he said, to the violent usage he had again sustained .from his master; and on examining his person he found that one of his ears had been nearly cut through, and that there were several other ter rible cuts about his head and face. The injuries were so severe, that witness was obliged to seek the assist ance of a medical person, who prescribed lotions ; but although these were applied, the child continued very restless, and could not sleep for three continu ous nights. The defendant gave the child a very bad character, said he had smeared his own and another boy's books (as defendant thought) intentionally; and he con sidered that he was only doing his parents a service by correcting him. He was not aware that he had cut the boy in the l back in the manner, described, and declared that it must have been accidental, while the child was trying to screen himself from the other blows. On . the second occasion he made the other boys hold him to prevent the child's kicking them, and that punishment was inflicted with a rod, is the usual way, and not with the four canes, as the child stated. He concluded with an appeal to the magis trate, saying that he was a married man himself, and had children of his own. _ _ To contradict the defendant's statement, Mr. Bryer, an officer of the Court, and Fitzgerald, one of the warrant officers, were examined ; the former said the boy was cut all over his hack, from the shoulders to the loins, and that a great deal more violence had been used than vk as at all proper for so young a child. The latter stated that the father of the child had stripped him for his inspection in one of the cells attached to the Court, and that he found the child " scored, from the bladebone all down the thighs." The injuries had certainly been inflicted with canes, and not with a rod; and Mr. Broughton, who sat when the summons against the defendant was applied for, and who witnessed the state of the child, had ordered• him to attend before ➢lr. Bingham an& give evidence. Mr. BINGHAM said, that considerable latitude must necessarily be allowed to schoolmasters in the in fliction of chastisement on obdurate or contrary pupils, but in this instance he was clearly of opinion that the defendant had gone much beyond the mark. He was very strongly inclined to' send the defendant to the sessions to answer the charge ; but as the father of the child was in somewhat needy circum stances, the justice of the case would perhaps best be met by pe - rmitting a compromise, and preventing the expense of further proceedings elsewhere. He should therefore - allow him to step out of Court with the father but in the event of the parties not coming to a satisfactory adjustment he should send the case to the sessions. The parties retired, and in a short time returned, the father of the child intimating to the magistrate that he had received a satisfactory compensation. . A fine young fellow named William Magness, dressed in the full regimentals of the 49th Regiment of Foot, was charged with being a deserter. As 56 N was on duty on the preceding night in Brunswick-street, Hackney-road, the prisoner's father, a highly respectable man, called to him and told him that his son, who was then out, would shortly return luirne, and that, as he was a deserter from his regiment; he required that he should be taken into custody. Witness waited about till eleVen . o'clock, when the prisoner returned, and then he took him to the station-house.' The prisoner said he had obtained leave of absence from his commanding-officer to 'see his mother, who was in a dangerous state of illness, and on the expira tion of his parol he called at the War-office to obtain the necessary papers to procure his trans mission to his regiment at Weedon barracks, but that, unfortunately he met several acquaintances, who induced him to "take a farewell glass with them, and he got intoxicated. On recovering himself, his leave having expired, he was a'shamed to face his officers, and went home again, where he had since been staying until given into custody by his father, whose object in so doing he could not account for. He was very fond of the service, and intended to give himself up the next day, had not this taken place. Had he intended to desert he should not have walked about in his regimentals, as the magistrate then saw him ; and he trusted, under the circumstances, the magistrate would consent to let an officer accompany him to the recruiting officer who would be convinced of his intentions and pass him to his regiment, with out the disgrace of his being sent to prison. Mr. BINGIIAM intimated to the prisoner that he should communicate with the War-office, and endea vour to make matters straight for him, but he was compelled to detain him until he received an answer from the military authorities.—He was then removed. THAMES POLICE. Yesterday Coulson Douglas, master of the Thomas Baker collier, appeared to answer informations laid by Mr.:Barber, the registrar, under the Coalwhippers' Act, for a violation of the statute, which requires that before discharging the cargo of any collier application be made at the coalwhippers'-office for a gang of registered men, and if the price offered be deemed sufficient the bargain is closed. Should it be refused the master is at liberty, after the performance of cer tain formalities, to employ any gang, whether re gistered or not, provided he pay no higher sum than what had been previously refused by the registered men at the office, and this was the offence which the defendant appeared to answer. A clerk from the coalwlaippers'-office proved that the defendant had of fered 4d. per ton, which was refused. A coalwhipper named Aveling stated that he assisted in whipping the Thomas Baker on the 25th of August, and received 7d. per ton, not from the defendant, but from Bowd ley, the basket man, by whom he was engaged. Mr. Pelham, who conducted the defence, whilst Mr. Holder appeared for the prosecution, called William Bowling, who swore that he engaged to clear the vessel, which was of 368 tons burden, for the sum of 51. 17s. Bd. He engaged with the men for 4d. per ton, but afterwards gave them a gratuity of 225., which would make it amount to 7d. Mr. BALLANTIN E, after commenting on the evidence of the last witness, who evidently edged very closely on perjury, fined the defendant 51., which was in stantly paid. A pawnbroker named Cranbery, of Shadwell, ap peared to answer informations laid by Birch, the no torious informer, for having demanded and taken more than the legal rate of interest. The article was pawned by the informer's wife, and the defendant pleaded guilty, urging that the offence was owing to the mistake of a lad, who was not sufficiently initiated into the routine of the business, having been only three months behind the counter. The defendant was fined lOs. and costs. In the course of the afternoon Birch applied to the magistrate for a moiety of the fine, not so much, he saki, for the amount, as to try a question. Mr. BALLANTINE said he would have no objection, if the application were made by a poor person who had suffered from an overcharge, but he had doubts about doing so at all in what appeared to have arisen from a concerted plan. The allowance would be made in cases where the poor were benefited, but it was an• other matter when a trap was laid. He should, how ever, consider of it. Birch—Am I to understand, then, Mr. Ballantine, that lam refused ? Mr. BALLANTINE—Yes, for the present. Birch—When am I to apply again ? Mr. BAL. , LANTINE-I don't know ; you must take your chance. CLERKEIV WELL. Yesterday John Clemenson, son of a gentleman of fortune, was charged with deserting his child, whereby it had become chargeable to Islington parish. Mrs. Lane, the wife of a labourer residing at Islington, deposed that on the Bth of September, 1843, the prisoner placed his son, a boy about eight years, under her care, and agreed to pay her at the rate of 4s. weekly for his maintenance. He paid, the money for a few months, and thon left off altogether. He never came to inquire after his child, nor took the least interest in him. She sought for him every where, and being informed he had a situation on the Southampton Railway, went there, but he had left a few days before. She then went to Mr. Carr's, at Kensall-green, by whom the prisoner had been en gaged during the summer, but he had left that place too. She had a large family herself, and was so re duced in circumstances that she was hardly able to procure the necessaries of life for her own children. At length she was obliged to place the boy in the workhouse. Mr. COMBE inquired how much he owed her ? The poor woman replied 121. 10s. Mr. COMBE asked what means the prisoner pos sessed ? The woman replied 1001. a year by his father's will. Mr. COMBE inquired if the prisoner had any other children ? The woman answered that he had three, and that he had suffered his wife to die in a hospital. Mr. COMBE—Where are the other two children ? Prisoner—One of them is with some man at Deptford. Mr. COMBE—Have you paid anything for the maintenance of this child ? The prisoner owned that he had not seen the child for five months, nor contri buted a farthing towards its maintenance ; in fact, he did not know what had become of it. Mr. COMBE—Where is the other child ? Prisoner —Dead. Mr Hicks, the overseer, said he considered the case so bad a one that he should certainly press for punish ment unless the prisoner would at once satisfy the parish. The prisoner, when asked if he would enter into an arrangement, admitted that he had been entitled to the receipt of 1001. a year, but gave a s 'irambling and most improbable account of its being mortgaged. Mr. ComnE—Are you willing to maintain your child, and pay this poor woman ? Prisoner—l can't. Mr. COMBE—Why ? Prisoner—Because I can't. Mr. CoMßE—Then you will go the House of Cor rection for two months. He was committed accordingly. Henry Edwards, a stout-built young Welshman, was charged with robbing Mr. David Jones, a con stable, of 11. 10s., his baton, and his son " Davey." The prosecutor accidentally met the prisoner on Tuesday, and, finding that he was a native of Wales, the place of his nativity, and that he had been at the Welsh School in Gray's Inn-road, a companion of some young relatives of his took him to several public houses, where they had drink in abundance, and of every description ; beer, gin, ale, rum, &c. ; when they reached the prosecutor's residence Jones was stupidly drunk, whilst the miscellaneous liquors and the large quantity he drank had the effect of rendering Edwards perfectly insane. In his delirium he rifled the prosecutor's pockets of his money and staff, and at a late hour at night dragged his son, a boy about twelve years of age, out of bed, and carried him in his arms in a state of nudity to a grocer's shop, a quarter of a mile distant ; he laid the boy, who was still asleep, in the corner of the shop, where some humane old woman put her shawl round him. The prisoner fetched a cab, put the boy in the cab, and drove to his own door, where he put the boy to bed, and went to bed in another room himself. The next morning the father was distracted at the loss of his child, and searched every place for him, but at two o'clock in the day when the prisoner awoke he brought home the son, hut was immediately given into custody for the robbery. The staff was found on the prisoner's person. The prisoner, who has hitherto borne an irreproach able character, and whose father is a very respectable tradesman in Store-street, Bedford-square, solemnly declared he did not recollect anything whatever of the matter. He must have been stark mad. The father of the prisoner having indemnified the prosecutor to the full amount of his pecuniary loss the young man was discharged by the wish of all parties. UNION•HALL.
