On reaching Gravesend the captain denounced them to the crew as Pickpockets and members of the " swell mob;" at the same time informing them in language which could not be misconstrued, that they must land at. Gravesend, and which they w ere compelled to do, and where, from the pre judice created against them, they were annoyed by a mob, •and refused refreshments or admission into any tavern in the town. After several ineffectual attempts to get a passage by the steam-boats plying to London, they were compelled, at considerable expense, to take a carriage to town.

This valuable SUCCEDANEUM for STOPPING DE CAYED TEETH, however large the cavity is far superior to anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth for many years, rendering extraction unnecessary. It arrests all further progress of decay, and renders them again useful in mastication. Prepared only by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Ber ners-street, Oxford street. Price 4s. 6d., and will be sent free by post to any part of the kingdom. Mr. Thomas continues to supply the loss of teeth without springs or wires, and has introduced an entirely NEW DE SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which will be found very superior to all others, as they will never decay, nor become discoloured, and their perfect resemblance to nature defies detection even by the closest observer. This method does not require the extraction of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever. The charges will be found much less than most Dentists.

An engine from the Folkestone sta tion was first dispatched, unaccompanied by any carriage, as a pioneer to test the line, and everything having been fount perfectly smooth and safe, it returned to Folkestone, aLtd brought back a carriage, containing Mr. Baxendale, the chairman, with others of the Directors, together with Mr. William Cubitt, the chief engineer, and other executive's connected with the line. In all, four journeys were performed to and from Folkestone, the last train (one carriage) lea vin g Dover for London at four o'clock. This experimental trip has afforded great satisfaction to the directors and engineers. Although there have been great diffieulties thrown in the way of the completion of this portion of the line, both by the attacks of tieptune and the falls of the cliff, and greater exertion has consequentl y b een made to finish t h e wor ks, yet the rails appear to be fi rm l y settled, and t h e t rac tion was so easy as to justify a speed o f upwards of twen ty miles an hour, the distance from Folkestone h av i n g been performed, the last trip, in fifteen minutes. - • DUTY ON TOBACCO.—A memorial has been ad dressed to Sir Robert Peel by the American Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool, praying for a reduction of the duty on tobacco, and stating the advantage which would accrue, both to the revenue and to commerce, by such a measure. Tables are given to show the increase of consumption during the imposition of a low duty, and that to such a degree as to render the source of revenue more productive. Thus, coffee in 1801, at Is. 7d. per lb., yielded 77,6511.; in 1821, at Is. per lb., 379,6501.; and in 1841, at 6d. per lb., 710,524/. Tobacco in 1821, at 4s. per lb., yielded 3,164,6731., and in 1841, at 3s. per lb., 3,314,215/. This difference of duty has not, however, been sufficient to reduce materially the profits of the smug gler,'who is still able to sell his tobacco at 2s. 9d. per lb., which is 3d. less than the duty alone. In 1798 Ireland con sumed 8,000,0001b5. of tobacco, and she now consumes 3,000,0001b5. less, with more than double the population. During the period of extensive consumption the duty was Bd. per lb., whereas now it is 3s. In England and Scotland was consumed, in proportion to the population, only half the quantity of tobacco consumed iu Ireland, the duty in this island being ls. 7d. However, on account of smuggling, the quantity of tobacco ou which duty is paid does not give even an approximation to the actual amount of consumption, and the memorialists declare that in their belief the actual consumption was 53,711,8561b5., instead of 22,094,7721b5., the quantity on which the duty was levied. These statements are followed by a prayer for the reduction of the duty on tobacco to ls. per lb. THE NELSON STATUE FINISHED.—At length the statue of the Hero of the Nile is visible from his exalted po sition in Trafalgar-square, apparently completed as it is " to go down to posterity," as well as stand the criticism and in spection of the present age. It is, undoubtedly, much im proved from the alterations and " clippings" it has under gone, the coil of rope, on ono side, being much diminished, and the left hand tail of the coat being likewise lessened, so as to remedy the curious effect produced by its previous form. Rapid progress is now being made in the completion of the square, which being nearly paved, looks very advan tageously. The displeasing and unsightly hoarding will, consequently, be soon removed, as also the clever and curious scaffolding, that at present surrounds the column, and pre sents such a striking specimen of ingenuity. Lady Oakeley died at Hastings on Friday last, in her 42d year. Her Ladyship was second daughter of the late Lora Charles Murray Aynslev, son of the fourth Duke of Athol, and married, the sth of June, 1826, the Rev. Sir Herbert Oakeley, Bart., Archdeacon of Colchester, and Dean of Barking. ACCIDENTS AT DEVONYORT.—On Saturday morn ing a building in the market of this town, which was sup ported on pillars, and appropriated for hanging the carcases of pigs on the cross-beams attached thereto, fell down on a number of persons who were engaged in business under the roof. The utmost confusion ensued. When the parties were taken from the ruins, it was discovered that a pig dealer from the country had his leg and thigh broken, and was otherwise injured ; an industrious woman, a butcher's wife, had also a leg broken. Four others were severely hurt, and many were slightly injured. The Peel-and-Penny-a the e ine p r r e conspiracysent Ministry. t 1,. Sir the liberties of the British people, as exhibited to the Ihvaosrldseahliedthtehecodnodoun of c i ting of the Irish State Trials, Robert Peel himself predicted that Ireland would prove his great difficulty. It would have established his reputation as a prophet had he foretold that in the Administration of that country his reputed statesman ship would find a grave. Every lover of truth must con fess that a very great, and a very culpable indifference to the grievances of Ireland does exist in the popular mind of England. Nor can it be disputed that a feeling approach ing to a personal jealousy of the great influence of Mr. OConnell lurks at the hearts of some of the leaders of the Liberal English Members of the two Houses of Par liament; and that not a few of the Whigs would secretly rejoice at his discomfiture had the Government only granted him a fair trial. But no Englishman worthy of e. th :, e ; :i r i t i o e can witness, without indignation, the attempt t o find O'Connell guilty by packing a jui v, and by the unheard-of endeavour to establish the crime of cumulative Adrertisa one nitecl nuck [t ii nd 1 ?ight LS• lgek , bees • ills ould re '4 Among the many rumours prevalent, there is one to which credence is somewhat generally • attached. It is that he is speaking against time in order that the speech from the throne may reach Dublin, and be perused by Mr. O'CoNNELL, before he commences his address to•the Court. How far this may be a correct representation of the tactics of the travcrsers lam unable to state. I merely mention it as a pretty generally believed rumour. Mr. WHITESIDE it is understood will speak to-morrow, and then Mr. O'CONNELL will proceed to address the Court on Friday, and close on Saturday night. Thus it is most probable the - whole of next 'Week will be con sumed in those trink---- With respect to the fracas between the Attor ney-General and Mr. FITZGIBBON, yesterday, all parties, of every shade of politics, with whom I have spoken on the subject, agree in condemning the first law officer of the Crown, as one of the most indiscreet of men. The affair has created quite a sensation here, and will no doubt furnish much food for comment to the London journals. FOUR O'CLOCK, P.M. The mail from London has not yet arrived. It is blowing quite a gale, with a heavy rolling sea, and I apprehend the mail cannot possibly reach before *eight o'clock this evening. SUMMARY of the STATE TRIALS (FIFTEENTH DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE QUEEN V. DANIEL O'CONNELL AND OTHERS. The Court cf Queen's Bench sat to day at ten o'clock, when Mr. FITZGIBBON resumed his address to the Court. He submitted, that if the speech alleged to have been delivered by Mr. O'CONNELL at Mallow could bear the construction put upon it by the At torney-General,it would amount to high treason, and that the present charge of misdemeanour would be merged in it—the less in the greater—and that, therefore, the prosecutions must fall to the ground. He commented at considerable length on the sentiments expressed in that speech. The At torney-General, in observing upon the words of Mr O'CoNNELL, that they (the Government) should neve; trample upon him—that they should trample upon hi; dead body first—said, that Mr. O'CONNELL mean: that he would resist the civil authorities wit]• guns, bayonets, pikes, &c. Had subsequent circum stances, he (Mr. FITZGIBBON) asked, warranted suet a construction ? Certainly not. Where WM there a more active and a more intelligen• police than in Ireland, and yet where had the: been able to discover those stores of pikes guns, and bayonets, that were to be thus employed by Mr. O'CoNNELL. No ; Mr. O'Coxxri I. meant no such thing. He meant that in the event of any violent measures being adopted against him by the authorities, he would be ever found at his post among the people making use of those weapons which he best could use—the eloquence and the firmness with which GOD had endowed him. The Learned Couisel engaged the Court the entire day. The latter portiZ'e Of his addree wa§ "directed to show that no con spirator against the ace of the country or the safety of the throneouch,as it was attempted by these prosecutions to prove Mr. O'CONNELL to be, could or would use the language embodied in the very speeches relied on by the Crown for their case, and he quoted copious extracts from Mr. O'CONNELL'S speeches in support of this posi tion. The Learned Gentleman was addressing the Court when our express left. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV. Sin,—The Standard of Monday has an exquisite "leader" relative to Mr. Sheil's speech. After (tacitly) almost admitting the innocence of each se parate act for which Mr. O'Connell and his " co-seditionists" (vide Times) have been dragged into Court,-and put to in tolerable expense, the editor ingeniously discovers that a number of acts separately innocent may be conglomerated into guilt " by the vinculum" (how learned!) " of a common bad purpose." (Of course the "vinculum" is not to be dis covered in the usual vulgar way of inference from the facts, but by some admirable metaphysical process in the mind of an Attorney-General!) Now let us imagine a case :—A. B. on a bright sun-shiny day, mount s hi s h orse at t h e d oor of his residence in Dublin ; rides ten miles to get an appetite for his dinner • meets on the road Mr. O'C onne ll, w i t h w h om h e h as a bowing ac quaintance—exchanges a remark on the weather; returns to the city; puts up his horse; strolls through a street or two; sees a capital carving knife and fork in a window; recollects that he was puzzled to get through with his present one yesterday, it being marvellonsly- blunt and obviously worn out ; buys the knife and fork ; at dinner admires and com ments on the sharpness of the new carver; eats a hearty dinner of roast beef, "settles" it with a tumbler of "poteen," and water, laughs at its potency, and exclaims " Erin go bragh !" in the evening goes to the theatre—the piece happens to be John of Procida ; returns to his domicile, and in a few days is informed that the Government .have pro ceeded against him for a conspiracy " against our Sovereign Lady Victoria, by the grace o f G o d Q ueen o f G re at Bri tain," &c. The poor man protests that he is guiltless—asks what guilt there is in riding, eating roast beef, &c.—and is informed that all these acts may be innocent in themselves, but " become criminal by the vine/Am of a common bad purpose." He inquires how this applies, and is informed that the Attorney-General is convinced of his guilt, and means to argue that the ride in the morning was taken, in order to obtain phy s i ca l v i gour to sustain the fatigues of a campaign against the Saxons, if necessary—the eating roast beef for the same purpose ; that the meeting O'Connell, a repealer and " co-s e diti on i st, " was "doubtless" concerted to plan the details of an insurrection ; that the preference of poteen to Port, and the exclamation " Erin go bragh" were strong proofs of antipathy to English connexion, and that his going to the theatre to witness the performance of a piece grounded on the success of an insurrection (followed by a massacre), proved to demonstration that he was prepared to join in one against Saxon rule, and to massacre all the Pro testants! Are not all these "proofs" as cogent as those produced against " the Traversers ?"—I am, Sir, &c., MOWS. SAVINGS' BANKS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sm—l quite agree with " A Manager" respecting the cause of the increase in the deposits in the Savings' Banks. He says " That the increase in the amount of deposits is no criterion, the description of the depositors can only be fairly looked at." I shall be sorry if the interest be lowered, as it is said that it is likely to be, when the Parliament meets, to " make Acts to amend Acts," &c. &c. lam convinced that many persons have money in the Savings' Banks, who ought not to have. Much of the amounts now in the Banks are not Savings, but Legacies, and as the writer justly states, " the money is vested in trustees for So-and-so." P or on e I hope that the interest will not be lowered, but that a more strict investigation should be made by. the Managers of Savings, and not, as they are now, Legacy Banks.—l remain, respect fully.

DESPERATE REMEDY FOR A DESPERATE DISEASE. —They tell a good story of Dr. Rand. He was called on to visit a hypochondriac patient, who fancied she had swallowed a mouse. On entering the room the lady ex claimed, " Dear doctor! lam glad to see you-1 am in such distress—such pain ! Oh, doctor, I have swallowed a mouse !" " Swallowed—nonsense," replied the doctor, in his mild and pleasant manner. "Oh, no, doctor," said the patient, "it is not nonsense—it is a mouse—a live mouse— he ran down my throat when I was asleep, with my mouth open, and I feel him now, creeping about my stomach, and trying to gnaw out. Oh, doctor, do prescribe something quick, or I shall die." " Prescribe," said he, " yes, I will prescribe something that will cure you in a minute." "What is it doctor, what is it ?—l'll take anything you order." " Well, then, my dear madam, swallow a cat—if that don't cure you, nothing will." SUDDEN DEATH.—An inquest was held on Mon day, before J. Barnett, Esq., Coroner, at the Bee Hive Inn, on the body of Elizabeth Mudden, a woman of colour, born in Africa. It appeared in evidence that she had been for the last 87 years a servant in the family of her late mistress, Mrs. Arbuthnot, of No. 15, Montpellier Villas, having entered the family when only five years old.

COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, Jan. 31. _ THE QUEEN P. P. L. STRACIIAR. It will be recollected that this was an indictment for an indecent assault. The defendant was found guilty. Mr. Kelly now prayed the judgment of the Court upon the defendant. Lord Denman suggested that it might not pefhaps be eon, sidered necessary to read the Judge's notes of the trial. Mr. Kelly said, he thought it might be proper to read the evidence of the prosecutor. Mr. Thesiger, for the defendant, said he feared, then, that all the evidence must be read. Mr. Justice Wightmau then read over his notes of the evi dence of the two chief witnesses. Affidavits were then pat in from Lieut.-Col. Campbell, Who stated that he had been Governor of Sierra Leone, and that the defendant was then in service under him ; that he was employed upon some very important missions, during which time he caught the fever of the climate, and his whole frame became paralysed; and his mind was at times so much Al tered, that he had sent home a certifict is stating his belief that the defendant was occasionally insane. Other affidavits from various medical men were also read, who stated that a lengthened imprisonment would be of se rious injury. Mr. Thesiger then rose, and said that, in addreasins their Lordships on behalf of the defendant, it was impossible he should do so except under circumstances of the greatest em barrassment and difficulty, arising out of the feeling which must be excited from the serious offence of which the de fendant had been convicted. The facts were now so fully before their Lordships, that it was almost unnecessary for I him to make any observations; he should be very far from wishing to make any remark upon the result of the trial. His Lordship, who had tried this case with that fairness and impartiality which characterised him, would do him the justice to recollect that he abstained from making any observations to the disparagement of the boys, althou r ,ell he certainly expected to show they must have mistaken the case, or their conduct would have been different; but he assumed all they had stated to be true. Mr. Strachan had ' offered •no affidavit ; he felt- it his duty to bow to the Court. He (Mr. Thesiger) thought the severe view the jury had takea might have been mitigated, ' and that the count. forAlitt assault only might have been found. He wonld'Atot observe upon the case itself, but there were peculiaN. circumstances in thb case, which, when their Lordsliips he 4 to assign punishment, he was sure they would not lose sight of. It appeared that the defendant heid been, for a period of eight years, in a COMMIS' which had been the grave of so many of his follow-country men—that lie had there been engaged on vary important duties, so as to secure to him the confidence of the officer who had the command of the settlement—that he had turned with a shattere(rconstitution and with a mind en feebled by the disease with which he had been visited, not so as to render him an irresponsible agent, but unqne-tion ably to place him in a situation for• their Lordships' mercy. Their Lordships had heard his character from persons of high station and respectability, who had known him for a consi derable number of years, and he was quite satisfied that all these circumstances would weigh strongly upon their Lord ships' minds, and when they had to discharge a duty, the most awful duty a man could discharge—that of passing , a sentence of punishment—while they looked with that sternness on the offence with which every properly-feeling mind mast regard it, that their Lordships at the same time would feel that compassion for the sufferings, to which this gentleman had been exposed which would induce them, as far as they could, consistently with their high and important duties, to pass a lenient sentence, such as would reconcile justice with mercy. Mr. Kelly, in addressing the Court for the prosecution, said he was persuaded their Lordships would feel that it was quite unnecessary for him to occupy the attention of the Court at any length. By the affidavits a suggestion had been made that the individual now awaiting their Lordships' judgment had been subject to occasional aberrations of mind. His friend had felt himself under the necessity of admitting that this offence could not be said to have been committed by an irresponsible agent. Of the offence it was not his in tention to say more, except that of any offence of this nature was one of the gravest character—if it was possible that it could be aggravated to the highest degree of conceivable enormity, it was the case now before the Court, because the Court would bear in mind the age of the boy, and the fact of its being at Harrow. School, where it was scarcely pos sible to calculate the extent of the mischief. He was quite satisfied their Lordships would give full effect to what had fallen from his Learned Friend, but that they would not be unmindful of what was due to public justice and to the youth of this community. Mr. Watson eras on the same side, but declined saying any iag. 116. Justice Patteson delivered the judgment of the Court in the following terms :—Patrick Leigh Strachan, you have been found guilty of an assault with intent to commit a hor rible and detestable offence, for which offence, if you had completed your purpose, your life would have been forfeited. It appears from all.the evidence that you must have gone down to Harrow for the purpose of attempting something of this kind upon the boys you might meet. with, and that ap parently under circumstances of considerable deliberation. You can never be sufficiently thankful you were detected in the present instance before you had actually committed the offence, and your life had become forfeited; and that it has pleased God to spare that life for some time, and give you an opportunity for repentance and amendment, and I earnestly entreat you to employ your time for that purpose. The sen tence ot the Court is, that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in Clerkenwell Prison for 18 calendar mouths, and in the mean time be committed to the custody of the Marshal. The defendant was then removed in custody. The Court sat till a late hour. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 31. (Sittings in Banco.) LORD NV. PAGET v. THE EARL OF CARDIGAN. Sir T. Wilde showed cause against the rule which was ob tained a few days aFo by Mr. Sergeant Channell on behalf of the defendant, for indgment as in case of a nonsuit. The affidavit upon which the Learned Sergeant relied, stated that the witness Winter went on the morning appointed for the trial with the plaintiff's attorney as far as Ilolborn, on their way to the Guildhall, and that in Holborn Winter parted company with the attorney, observing that he should be at the Guildhall as soon as ate attorney himself. When the plaintiff's attorney, however, reached the Guildhall, he was informed that Winter was net there, and that he would not come at all. The Learned Sergeant said, that affidavits had been filed in support of the rule, negativing impatations which had been cast upon the defendant, but he did not seek to discharge the rule upon any ether ground than that of the plaintiff having used dne diligence. Mr. Sergeant Channell said that the object which the de fendant had in view in applying for the rule was to clear him self of the charge imputed to hint, of having procured the witness to be sent out of the way. His Learned Friend having disclaimed any charge of that kind, he was ready to accept a peremptory undertaking. Rule discharged upon a peremptory undertaking to try at the ensuing sittings. The Court sat till a late hour, but nothing further occurred which was generally interesting. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 1. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord ABINGER and Common Juries.) The following undefended cases were disposed of at the sitting of the Court this morning ; in each case verdicts for the plaintiffs were given :—ln Walsh v. Gates, for 26!. 19s ; Martin r. Ratcliffe, for 351. 3s. 4d.; Cohen and Another v. Lawrence, for 66/. 19s. COOKE V. CIIEIV. Mr. Whateley and Mr. Miller appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Humphrey conducted the case for the defendant. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for false imprisonment. It appeared that the plaintiff, who was a commercial traveller for a mercantile house in the City, en gaged from the defendant a phmton z. for which he was to pay 2/. 10s. a month. Subsequently the plaintiff became involved in difficulties, and having left his employment returned the phaeton to the defendant, at the same time stating his inability at that time to pay for the. hire of.the phaeton. The defendant detained the servant of the plaintiff who brought it back, and having traced the plaintiff to a coffee-house, there arrested him on a charge of felony, and caused him to be conveyed to the Mobr-lane station-house, where ho was confined during the night. The next morning he was taken before Sir Peter Laurie, at Guild hall, who stated his belief that the case was not one of felony, and remanded him to the next day, when the _r . no_ney was raised and the debt paid.—Verdict for the plaintiff 51 HUNTER V. BRAITHWAITE This was an action to recover compensation in damages, Two middle-aged women, named •Elizabeth Todd and Sarah Trussell, were placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, the former charged with having, by means of a forged sig nature, endeavoured to obtain 1161. 9s. 7d., which was depo sited in the Marylebone Savings' Bank, in the name of Mary Todd, and the latter with being a party concerned in the attempted baud in question. The prisoners are kith servants; Todd at a house in Gloucesterplace, and. Trussell in Wilton-crescent, knights bridge. Mr. Feeney, .solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Wilson, from the offiee of Mr. Randall, solicitor, for the prisoners. Mr. Robert William Sheath stated that he was clerk at the bank, and that on Saturday, the 20th inst., the pt . :- kroner Todd produced to him the deposit-book made out iu the name of Mary Todd, and said the wished to with draw the whole of the money, the amount of which was 1161. 9a. 7d. She was asked if it was her own money, and if the account was hers also; to both of which questions she replied in the affirmative. Witness tilled up a notice pa per, and handed it to her for her signature, when she signets it " Mary Todd," ellegirag that that. was her own name. He compared it with Mary Todd's signature in one of their books, and finding that it differed materially, told her so, and that unless she could write it better on the day of payment (which was ten days from that period), she would have rime difeculty in obtaining The money. Are then sthted that she had not got her spectacles with her, and that she had not written for some yearkkat that she would practice in. the mean time, and bringairer spectacles when she next came. She then went away. Mr. Rawlinson—When did you next see her? Witness— Teeterday she came again, when I filled up a receipt (here produced) and requested her to write her other name, which the signed, as you see, Mary Todd." I asked her if she could not write it any better? when she said she would try. and she accordingly wrote it a second time. As 1 was still doubtful as to her being the right. person, I referred kw to Mr. I)oaglae Fernley (one of the actuaries), who if new present. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilson-1 have been clerk in the Savings' Bank nearly twelve years. I receive money when it is paid in. I don't know that I ever saw Todd upon any occasion previoualy to the periods I have spoken to. I did not take the original signature. In the deposit hook there are two entries in my handwriting; bet I cannot say ffont whom I received the money. Mr. Douglas Fennel- deposed that he was assistant-secre tary and actuary at the St. Marylebone savings' Bank. On the previous slay (Tuesday) his attention was called by Mr. Sheath to the signature of the prisoner Todd, and he asked her Jr she was really Mary Todd, to which she replied that she was, and that shoe was the person who had, in the - first instance, deposited money upon the account. He (witness) told her, in the hearing of Truesell, that the signature was not satisfactory, and that he should require a declaration to he made before a magistrate as to her Wealthy, upon which Trussell stepped up and said she knew the pri soner Todd to be the Mary Todd who had paid in the first money, and that she (Trussell) was present at the time of the transaction. Witness asked her if she saw Mary Todd write her name upon the first deposit being made, to which she replied, " No, 1 , was waiting out side." I then said to Trussell, " Have vou any objeetien to make a declaration as to the truth of what - yen have .stated ?" and the answered " No." I prepared a declara tion (now produced) which I read over to both of them carefully, at the same time telling the& that if they signed what wasp of they would be as liable to punishmeat as if they 14t taken a filse oath ; they signed and then left, and in alsout half an hour they returned, when Trued! said, "We come to tell you the truth, sir." Todd thee admitted that the account was not hers, hut that it had been eperted by her sister, who was now dead. I remarked that it wee a serious case, and that I should not hear anything Blither which they might have to say, until my fearer (one of the principals in the Inatitntion) came home.• In a short time my father returned, and the prisoner, YlizabetiaTodd, then said in the hearing of Trnssell, that the account was her sia tea's, but that she (Elizabeth) had paid in nearly all, if not quite the whole of the money, and that it Was hens. She further said that her sister had left a will, and that she bad a son living. Witnes asked Traesell, who admitted that she was present with the reel Mary Todd when the account was opened, how she could have suffered him, under the oircumataticea, .te draw up the declaration which he did, when she made no 'answer, and both the prisoners began to cry. I told theth I thenght I should be obliged to give them in charge, and my father told themae.teo; but 1 said to them, "If vou are suffered te go away now, you must consider the charge as hanging ever your head, and most probably in the *nurse of to-morrow something mere will be heard of it." Th ey b egge d aid prayed that no further proceedings might be taken against them, as th 7 were very sorry for what they had done. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilson—Todd said' she had.always paid the money in, and that upon one occasion she had drawn . Out '9O/. • The father of the last witness said that he showed the•re , ceipt for the 201. to the prisoner Todd, and asked her if it was in.her_owahandwritiog,ite which she replied thatit , w, Cross-examined by Mr. Wilson--I took the account W -011211.1., and witaeeed the eignatnre o f the right party. never, to my knowledge, saw the prisoner Todd anti' the period of the transaction for which he is now here. - Ching, 97 11, proved that en the same morning he took both the prisoners into cnstndv. Todd, on being told that she was charged with attempting to defraud the Maryleboee Savings' Ihmk, said that what she had done was entirely through iplorance, and that Trnseell said that there was na other,object in view than that or moving " legacy duty." Robert Todd was then called by Mr. Wilson, and examined. He stated that he lived at 21, Crown-court, Covent-garden, and that he was the son of Mary Todd, and nephew of the prisoner Eli-zabeth Todd; he was ene of the executors under the will of his mother, who died on Ifith Januare last, and that the whole of his deceased mother's funds was left to 11101 by will, which he proved on Saturday last at Doetere-com moni. It was by his directions that Elizabeth Todd had gone to the Bank to draw out the money, she having told him that nearly the whole of the semis were paid in by her, and that upon one occasion she had drawn out 20!. herself. Ire thought there would be no difficulty in her (Elizabeth) drawing the money as she was so well known at the Bank, and that, for his own part, however innocently and enguarcfrd he might have acted, he had no wish to de wrong. After some . consultation between Mr. Bawlinson and Mr. Fernley, the solicitor for the prosecution, the prisoners were both remanded till Monday next. • QUEEA "8 -SQUARE.

Inquiries were made on the subject of the girl's character, but the answer being unsatisfactory, the prisoner Evans was informed that her character did not suit.

Mrs. Shand ...Was so well satisfied with the character that she took the girl Evans into her service, but in the course of a. fortnight, finding that she was idle and worthless, made some further inquirioa, and ascertained that she had been imposed. upon.

Wednesday Lawrence Opperrnan, a farsiture broker, carry. , ing on business in Rosemary-lane, appeared before 4r. Henry, to account for illegally detaining a Dutch clock, be longing to a poor woman, agairret wham it was alleged he had a distrels-warrant to execute. The poor woman applied, in the first instance, on Startler to Mr. Norton, and stated that though site was only indebted to her landlord Is. in arrear and one week's rent, making altogether 3s 6d., Opperman came to her room in Plotigh street, Whitechapel, to levy a distress upon her goods for that amount, stating he had the landlord's authority for doing so. She made up the money in less than half an hour, and handed it to Opperman, but that person tin receiving it FAR that this sum was the amount of his expenses--namely, halt - - a-crown for the " man in possession," and a shilling for his own trouble, and told her that unless she paid him 3s. 6d. more he would seize some article for the rent. She links tinned his right to do so, when he instantly took down a. valuable Dutch clock and carried it away with him. Yes terday, when asked by Mr. Henry what he had to say to the complaint of the poor woman, Opperman, who is a German, handed to the bench a dirty strip ofpartly written and partly printed paper, which he called his " varrant" for seizing ars the goods. Mr. Henry told Opperman, that unless he at once , lieli.. vered up the clock to the poor woman, he would oanse pror' ceedinga to he instantly taken against him under the Polices Act for an illegal distress, and tilionld impound the document, for that purpose. OpperMati on hearing this dispatched his son for the clock and gave it to the complainant, and after pleading hard ter his " Tarrant." got it back. ARRIVAL OF THE PENINSULAR MAIL.—SOUTH..
