S PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Are the slop-sellers of the metropolis I 'like destitute of the feelings of humanity, the sense • shame, and the consciousness of responsibility ? '1- he fearftil results of their grinding cupidity have been oti ten exhibited, and their cruelty denounced. The • -ess has frequently brought before the public eye the • d scenes of privation, verging on starvation, caused b f the miserable wages they pay to their wretched orkwomen. The lingering death endured by r i uiny of these poor creatures—who, faint, from hunger, Vtigue, and suffering, ply the needle through the g; eater part of the night, unable to procure sus t nance by unintermitting toil during the day—has ben represented in the homely phrase of prose, and ,in the more affecting appeals of verse. Hood's 4, Song of the Shirt ' will perpetuate, for it faith illy portrays, the sufferings of this wretched class the most helpless of the sex. Their weakness • .d woes would appeal to the sympathies of their • iployers—if they were men. If shame were eavable of moving them to virtue they would, 'Le this, have convened a public meeting of I oeir trade, and pledged themselves to each other and 0.) the public, that an advance upon their s c a ndalousl y I , w rates of wages for the making-up of the shirts, t c-users, and other articles of dress, in the sewing to s_ :then of which large numbers of females are daily a,d nightly employed, should take place. And if la_ inanity and shame had ceased to operate, the de taluciations of Heaven against those who " grind . tne face of the poor, and afflict t he soul of the sieecly," might awake those apprehensions of future retribution against which the most obdurate 3:"R not altogether proof. But these considera tions seem incapable of moving the slop-sellers. Their poor work women are ground to the dust, and a i - e even pressed out of life, by the operation of the system of competition which this class of traders persist in carrying on against each other. 'll, he profits they acquire are wrung from the vi tality of the poor needle-women, who starve, while tiley " fare sumptuously every day." Another of these terrible examples is before us. A fine young woman, industrious and virtuous, unable to sup - Fart life upon the wages of shirtmaking, and shrink ig from the alternative which lures but to inflict won its victims a deeper depth of misery, has been impelled to suicide. A double suicide was only pre vented by the timely arrival of a labouring man, who, gm his way to work, was attracted to the spot by a ) ariek, and succeeded in rescuing from death a sister a the wretched girl. They had agreed to terminate t heir miserable existence together by drowning. The vurvivor told the sad tale of their mutual struggles to aastain life by . their unintermitting toils, and of the horrid conclusion to which they came to terminate Ati existence which to them was alike destitute of in riucement, in the shape of possession, or of promise, to prolong it. The Coroner's inquest commenced its inquiry into the cause of the death of the poor suicide on Friday, and glosed it yesterday. The name of the deceased girl was Eliza Kendall—her age ilineteen—the mode of death was drowning—the place selected for the act a secluded spot on the Surrey Canal • jury marked its sense of the cause which led t , ) the catastrophe by the verdict it returned upon the widence :—" That the deceased committed suicide /Mist labouring under a fit of insanity ; and the jury Annot but deprecate the cruel practice of the slop 7•Alers in London, of employing young females at .3.,,edlework at so low a rate of wages as to preclude the fossibility of a subsistence." This was, in fact, a verdict ..f wilful murder against the system by which "the slop : tillers in London" manage their business. The manifest tendency of this system is the destruction of life. To re uce the prices of shirt-making to five farthings each, is • —we will not mince the matter--to consign the poor crea tures who are condemned to toil for such a pittance t./ starvation. The appropriate designation of such cruelty is murder. Rent—food—clothes—firing— candles (for toil by night)—and all these out of sew fig the materials of shirts together at five farthings ieh ! Those who think the thing consistent with t te sustentation of life deserve to be undeceived, by 1 1 ~..ing subjected to the experiment. Human legisla von cannot prevent the horrible state of things. But T, iblic opinion can express its sense of the enormity ; :Ind the public Press can, and will, utter its thunders 4ainst it, and against those who pocket the gains de ) ved from human misery. STANDARD.—The last telegraphic dispatch from Morocco offers a triumphant contradiction to rumours so industriously circulated by the 3 -ench Opposition Press, that Marshal Bugeaud was I ing on his oars waiting for reinforcements, . hich his Government were indisposed to send 1 ; and that in the interim a junction be t , een the troops commanded by the son of the 2 nperor of Morocco, and the main body of the 3 'oorish army would be effected, which would ./ table their united forces to overwhelm the 4 , ,mparatively small army at the disposal of the liarshal. He appears, however, to have wisely anticipated this junction, by striking a decisive blow • once. The affair, judging from the very meagre •w - count supplied by the telegraph, would seem to have been every way worthy the military reputation o the Marshal, and the tried gallantry of the French troops. If, indeed, it be correct that the Marshal let 800 of the enemy on the field, and captured the number of guns and the quantity of munitions o war and baggage enumerated in his dispatch, the moral effect of his victory cannot fail of being 'e( nsiderable, both in Algeria and Morocco; and -8,, far from leading, as a Contemporary suggests, to a prolongation of the contest, will, we hope and .b. lieve, bring it to a speedy termination. The Em le•ror has, undoubtedly, extensive means at his •i. )inmand for protracting the struggle, and greatly e,ihancing the natural difficulties with which I,:s assailants will have to contend. But cui lono ? Under any circumstances, he must be a loser to an extent greater in proportion to his resources than any sacrifices he may force upon the Ir - ench. If the professions of the latter, that they ,ve no intention to occupy ultimately any part of lorocco, be as sincere as we believe them to . Le, the Emperor is fighting for a shadow, and , r.. , y well afford to accept the conditions offered to h• n. If we could suppose it otherwise, and believe :I' it it was the determination of Marshal Bugeaud conquer and take possession of the country, then '1 ould there be no other prospect than that of a long, 4, to the invaders, a most harassing and un -1 war—and we should consider this prelimi ,ry success as tending only to enhance their fu t re difficulties ; for unless followed by the imme i ite submission of the Moors, it will increase t it. :exasperation to the highest possible pitch, t. 311 every foot of the soil will be disputed, and ev •ry means within reach of a barbarous enemy IN sorted to to drive them from the country; the heat of the climate, and the impossibility of .F...ovisioning an army, in many of the districts th rough which the Marshal will have to pass, offering 01 themselves the most weighty obstacles to the en t( It is possible that the conviction that the E-Prich can proceed but little further during the pre pent season, may induce the Emperor to delay his submission. The great probability, however, is, that shall hear of his having accepted the proposed • ms by the next dispatch. The fact that the son of t: e Emperor had joined the Moorish camp would o :.(1 us to infer that the troops of which he was said to be in command had accompanied him, and if so, Ce Moors will have little prospect of repairing their di ;aster, and but little temptation (having been beaten at such tremendous odds) to renew the contest. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Aug. 27.) SUGAR.—Previous rates have been sustained for West iia of all descriptions, and a good demand has p: 'veiled for bright yellow sorts, of which there is y a moderate quantity still in the market. To-day re was less inclination shown to purchase -st India Sugar. From Grocers and Refiners the do nand was limited, and the rates accepted were fid p cwt under those of Friday for brown and inferior ac ts, but good and fine yellow maintained the former ct rency. A public sale of Barbadoes Sugar went hea ✓ y at a further decline in price of 6d per ewt. ; low yt low at 56s to 56s 6d, mid 57s to 58s, good mid 59s to S' good 60s 6(1 to 613 6d, and fine 64s to 64s 6d per " t ; the trade generally still entertain a prejudice to wr.rds this sort of Sugar.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 26. CIVIL SIDE.--(Before Mr. Justice bRESSWELL.) FARRAR V. DEYLINNE. This case, which had occupied the Court from about Friday noon, came to a conclusion this afternoon. The question was (as has been before stated) whether the defendant was, at the time of the liability incurred to the plaintiff, a partner in the firm of Todd and Co., of Manchester. Notwithstanding the great length of the case, it was from the very nature of the point in issue a dry repetition of acts and declarations from which the partnership might be inferred. Mr. BAINES having concluded his case, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL addressed the jury on be half of the defendant, and commented very ably upon those features of the case which bore in favour of the defendant. He did not call any witnesses. The Learned JUDGE summed up the case briefly, without going through the details of the evidence, and the jury after having retired for a few minutes returned into Court, and delivered a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 1,2351. CRIM. CON.-WOOD V. MONK. This was an action for crim. con., alleged to have taken place between the defendant and the wife of the plaintiff. Mr. Knowles and Mr. Hogging appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Atherton for the defendant. Mr. KNOWLES, in stating the case to the jury, ob served that the injury of which the plaintiff had to com plain was one of the deepest that a man could sustain, and which could be brought before a court of justice. The plaintiff was a stone-mason by trade. He had also been the keeper of a tavern. About 11 years ago he married a beautiful young woman, who had since borne him three children, and with whom he had lived upon the most affectionate terms. He for some time resided at Preston. About three years ago he went to keep the Hesketh Arms Inn, at Southport, but in 1842 he returned to Preston, and conducted an inn known as the sign of the Grapes and Punchbowl. The defendant was a person of respectable station in life, being an alderman of the bo rough of Preston, in which town he had for many years carried on an extensive practice as a surgeon. In that character he had been introduced to the plaintiff's house, and had taken advantage of the facility which these cir cumstances and the misfortunes of the plaintiff gave him to effect the ruin of the plaintiff's peace. The plaintiff did not succeed in his undertaking, and was sent to Lan caster Castle, from which place he obtained his libera tion under the Insolvent Debtors' Act. In the mean time, his wife carried on the business of the inn. The defendant was called in to attend her professionally, and taking advantage of those circumstances, effected her ruin. On the subject he (the Learned Counsel) would add nothing, but leave it to the jury to say what da mages such a defendant ought to pay to the plaintiff, whom he had so deeply injured. A woman named Mercer was then called, wbo stated that she had lived servant with the wife of the plaintiff during his absence at Lancaster ; that about the Bth of October last year her mistress sent her to the defendant to tell him to come and see her, as she was ill. The witness went, and soon after the defendant came. He and her mistress went into the back parlour. While there a man came for a glass of spirits, and offered 6d., which witness took to the parlour to get change from her mistress. On opening the door she saw the defen dant and her mistress in a position which she described. She drew back, gave the man his sixpence, and let him go on trust. On another occasion her mistress had a swelling on her finger, and sent witness for defendant. He came, and they went up stairs together. Witness went to the room to ask her to change a half-sovereign for a customer, when she found them both in bed toge• they. Witness was then single, but had since got married. _ . _ On cross-examination she denied that she had ever seen the plaintiff strike his wife till after his return from Lancaster, and that she had not been offered 20/. or 5/. by the plaintiff to prove his case, but had been told she should be well paid, and have her expenses clear. Mrs. Proctor, a married woman, stated that in Ja nuary last she went as servant ,to the inn, and detailed some occurrences similar to those deposed to by the last witness. _ _ _ On cross-examination she admitted that she did not live with her husband ; she had been parted from him three times. He was the ostler at the inn at Boscough bridge. She had lived in the house of the plaintiff since his wife had left. Mr. WATSON addressed the jury on behalf of the de fendant, and urged the immense importance of this case to his client, who, as a married man, with a family, holding a respectable position in life, and b e i ng o f a pro fession in which the most rigid integrity was necessary to insure or retain success, had everything at stake in this cause. He then commented on the nature of the evidence which had been adduced, its unlikelihood, the contradictions between the two witnesses, and all the circumstances of the case, which, he contended, deprived their testimony of any credibility whatever. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to call witnesses to contradict the case of the plaintiff, and the case was adjourned at seven o'clock. CROWN SlDE.—(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) CHARGE OF MURDER.—Owen Leonard was indicted for the wilful murder of his wife, Bridget Leonard, and inflicting several wounds on her body with a razor. Mr. Hulton and Mr. Drinkwater conducted the prose cution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. W. WOubrey. It appeared from the statement of James Leonard, the principal witness for the prosecution, a boy twelve years of age, that his father, the prisoner, was a tailor, living in Peter-street, in this town. The deceased was his mother. There was a family of six children, of whom the witness only was re s idi ng a t h ome . The de ceased was in the habit of letting part of the house to lodgers, and on the 27th of July the attic was occu pied by a person named Livingstone and his wife. 'there was another male lodger in the house whose name did not appear. On the evening of that day this boy had retired to bed in a room on the first floor, where the deceased and the prisoner slept He had on going to bed left them and Livingstone and his wife and the other lodger in the kitchen below. He was awakened by a noise, and found that it was the lodger singing ; and he then heard the voice of his father in angry altercation insisting upon the lodger leaving the house. The boy came down stairs, and found the lodger on the point of dep of arting. very angry. He called the deceased a w —e, and accused her misconduct After Ihveithwaos gone, the prisoner continued one John Guest, who had been a lodger several years before. Soon after the Livingstones went to their room, and were let up stairs by deceased. The prisoner followed to the room on the first floor, and the boy saw his father put something bright into his pocket. He went up to the room o f th e Livingstones and desired his wife to come down stairs. He himself went down to the kitchen and barred and fastened the door and window. The deceased soon after came down, and the prisoner recommenced his abuse of her on the subject of John Guest, and used the same opprobrious epithet as before. She only replied, " Are you sure ?" which she repeated several times. She was sitting in a chair behind the door, and the prisoner struck her with his fist somewhere about the face, and then took:" the bright thing" out of his pocket, which proved to be a razor, and began cutting her about the throat. The boy cried ,4 murder!" and endeavoured to pull him away, but he repeated the bloc s in different parts of his unfortunate victim. The boy at last got the door open and ran for the police. In the meantime Michael Hamilton, a neighbour, came to the door and endeavoured to push it open. The parties were behind it, and he could only get hold of the hair of the prisoner, who again forced the door to. On a second attempt he forced an entrance, and found the deceased lying on the ground, and the prisoner standing over her, striking her with something he held in his hand. He said to the prisoner, " You old villain, what are you doing to your wife ?" He then found that the nose of the unfortunate woman was entirely cut from her face, and she had a severe gash upon her cheek. The witness ran to call the police, and the unfortunate woman in th e mean ti me c rawled parti ally out of the door, saying faintly, e K ee p him in, keep him in ; put something to me , I s h a ll di e ; he has cut my throat." The prisoner th en p us h e d her with his foot, when she fell out on th e p avemen t, an d he shut the door to. Several policemen coming up she was carried to the house of a surgeon, and thence to the hospital, but died from loss of blood before she arrived there. The prisoner was found in the middle of the kitchen floor washing , his hands, and being asked why he had com mitted the act, said she was an old b—h- He seemed to have been drinking, but yet to know what he was about. On examination of the b o dy o f the deceased, it was found that several f r i g h t f u l woun d s h a d been inflicted on the face, neck, l egs , and thighs, one on the latte r b ein g seven inches Ton g an d near s i x i nc h es deep. The lateral jugular vei n an d t h e f emoral artery were divided. Mr. WUBREY addressed the jury for the d e f e nc e , and contended that the p r i sone r was insane ; and that, at all events, under the provocation stated, the offence did not amount to more than manslaughter ; and called several witnesses in support of the first position, but who failed to make out that defence. The Learned JUDGE summed tip the case very elabo rately, and the jury, after a few minutes' retirement, ment, found a verdi c t o f Guilty of manslaughter. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for life. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN.) Thomas While was indicted for a similar offence upon Elizabeth Farrer, a child nine years old. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of an aggra vated assault. The same prisoner was also indicted for a similar offence upon Nancy Burrows, a girl of the same age. The jury returned the same verdict as in the for mer case. There were two other indictments for similar of fences against the prisoner, but they were not pro ceeded with. Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN sentenced the prisoner to be kept to hard labour for eighteen months upon each conviction. William Simmons, 17, was indicted for feloniously killing a mare, the property of Henry Holmes. Mr. Brierly, at the request of the Court, examined the witnesses for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne de fended the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutor is a cowkeeper and milkman, and the prisoner was in his service, and employed to look after the mare in question. On the 9th of July, in consequence of some information he received, the prosecutor examined the mare, and found she had sustained a most dreadful injury, from athfteerewffeacrd. A effects of which the girltheani w m a a s l e d x ie ain dt i s o v e o d aors a witness,threedays who spoke to seeing the prisoner injure the animal a w ls i o th as a p to iteh the fo p r r k is ; b one u r t ,s te evidenceinhtent intention, was as to the asnotvery fa ac c i t e , ar an iy d made out. • The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. This case concluded the business of the session, and the Court then adjourned to Monday, September 16. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) The following cases were disposed of late on Mon day evening : Henry Burton, described as a toll-collector, was indicted for the manslaughter of Henry Spence, at the parish of Whitechapel. Mr. O'Brien conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prisoner. The circumstances of the case will be fresh in the recollection of our readers, as they have been given very fully within the last few days. The prisoner had been very much annoyed and insulted by the de ceased and a number of other boys, and, unhappily, in a moment of excitement, he struck the deceased a blow on the herd, which occasioned his death. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, coupled with a strong recommendation to mercy, and judg ment was respi:led until the next session. William Adttm Postlethwaite pleaded Guilty to a charge of assaujt upon Eliza Augusta Townsend, with intent to commit felony. Judgment in this case was also respited, but the defendant was allowed to go at large upon finding sureties for his, appearance at the next sessions. Henry Stephenson was indicted for maliciously throwing a stone upon the South Western Railway, and thereby e)adangering the safety of the passengers pa , sing upon the railway. The defendant pleaded Guilty. Mr. Bonxiti, who conducted the prosecution on behalf of the 'London and South Western Railway Company, said'. that it was instituted for the purpose of showing the public that such offences could not be committed with impunity. In the hope that the present proceraling would have the effect of prevent ing such offences from being committed in future, the Company wc'.re not desirous of pressing for any punishment, and if the Court felt that such an arrangement could be entered into, they would be satisfied if thi3 defendant entered into his own recog nisance to appear and receive the judgment of the Court when r equired to do so. The COMM ON SERGEANT remarked that the offence was a most serious one, inasmuch as the lives of thousands of the subjects of the Crown were put in jeopardy by it, and it must be distinctly understood that the utra at penalty of the law would be enforced against all pf rrsons found so offending in future. The defer dant, having entered into the required recognisancEx, was discharged from custody. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) ASSAULT. --Davie/ .111'Diarmid, captain of the Pro tomelia, was charged with assaulting Samuel John M'Dowall, on Friday, the sth of July, on the high seas. It appear , ad from the evidence of the prosecutor, a most intelli.gent but friendless boy, that he was ordered to clean a pmrt of the ship. He went for a broom to do so, and the. captain seeing him with it, struck him with his hand, polled the broom from him, and gave him a blow with the handle of the broom. It would appear that the c'aptain acted in this manner, because there was an old broom w hi c h h e m i g ht h ave taken. He was obliged to lie by that night and part of the next day, when he came to 'aim and asked to see the boy's thigh. After having stripped himself, the captain beat him with a rop e about an inch and a half thick. After this he refused to do any more work till they came to London, the assault ha, vino been committed below Dungeness. It also appetared from the statement of the boy that on Sunday, the 7th, he violently pressed his neck, and said if he did not work he would break his neck. When they arrive 3 in London the captain was brought before a magistrate, and was committed to take his trial at this Court. Ti iere was a witness in the case, but when called he was not, forthcoming. Mr. DOANE said that the captain acted as he did under the impression that the boy was feigning illness, in order that he might not work, and the boy admitted that the captain wa s very kind before the assault occurred. The captain wa 4s willing to make him some compensation. The Rs CORDER thought that would be the best way to settle - the matter. The boy had acted in a manly, straightforward manner, in not submitting to be treated unjustly ; but the Court was willing to believe th a t th e captain h a,d acted under a false impression. He would direct the jury to find a verdict of guilty, aux' the Court would then settle the amount of compensation. The jury having found the prisoner Guilty, Mr. DoANE, on his behalf, offered 101. compensation, which was accepted as fair and liberal. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HO USE. Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, having, by the di rection of Sir John Pirie, written on Saturday to the owner of the ship John Campbell, in consequence of a statement made in the justice-room, charging the supercargo of that vessel with desperate offences alleged to have been committed on the coast of Africa, received the following answer, which he handed to the Lord Mayor : " Liverpool, Aug. 26, 1844. " Sir,—ln reply to your letter of the 24th inst., I beg to state, for the information of Sir John Pirie, that my ship, the John Campbell, has not yet arrived from Africa, and I scarcely know when to expect her. I do not know whether any others of the crew are in this country, and I have no reason to suppose Captain Burnley would commit such an act as that with which it appears he is charged by the man Laidlow. A mutiny took place on board the John Campbell soon after her arrival at Calabar, which was quelled by the interference of the King. I perceive that Laidlow, the complainant, was one of the mutineers, and having observed in the Lon don papers a long account of his examination before Sir John Pirie, I have deemed it but justice to Captain Burnley (and to prevent the public forming an erro neous opinion of the case from exaggerated statements), to publish the deposition and statement of the mutiny, which I received from Captain Burnley on the Bth of June last, and to which paper I refer for further parti culars. " I beg to remark that Captain Burnley was put on board the John Campbell by the charterers of that vessel as supercargo only, but assumed the command by my authority on the death of Captain Nelson. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " WILLIAM SHARP. " To S. R. G oo d man , Esq., Mansion-house, London." Sir John Pirie, who, it will be recollected, said, upon reading the written statement of the seaman, which was signed by that applicant and another of the crew, that it was possible the persons who com plained were mutineers, mentioned, upon reading the letter of the owner, that he considered it due to Capt. Burnley to give the same publicity to the statement and opinion of the owner which the extraordinary accusation had received. The LORD MAyoR, acquiesced in Sir John Pirie's view of the matter, and said that the circumstances should be entered into when the necessary informa tion reached hand. Laidlo Tv, the seaman, upon being told that his Lordship would, on a future day, take cognisance of the case, stated that he should be punctually in attendance. Captain Wheeler, of one of the Woolwich steam boats, was summoned for having, by the swell. occa sioned by the rapid motion of the vessel, overset a waterman's boat and tumbled him into the water. Hiram Howard, a waterman, stated that, as he was rowing on Thursday morning, in the river, the steam-boat of which the defendant was captain was proceeding at a most rapid rate, and the consequence was that the wherry was stove in and upset, and the owner's life was endangered. The captain stated that, as he was obliged to look forward, he could not:see the complainant, or he would have eased his vessel in time to prevent the accident, which, however, was insignificant, as the waterman was shot over into very shallow water. He denied that the vessel was going at a furious pace. The complainant said the surf raised by the Wool wich vessels, was often in consequence of the extreme rapidity with which they went along, often seven or eight feet high, and that the depth of the water into which he was pitched was about three feet. The LORD MAYOR—We are passing regulations which will put an end to all those dangers and dis putes, and as no great damage has been done in this case, and we shall rigidly act upon our new by-laws the moment they are passed, I shall allow the defen dant to settle the matter with the Waterman who has sustained the injury. A young man named David Williamson, one of those fellows who are constantly on the look-out for countrymen, was charged by Mr. William Harman , merchant; of Leeds, with h av i ng endeavoured to do him out of 401. The complainant, a person of very comfortable ap pearance, about fifty years of age, went, it appears, into an eating-house, and sat down to a chop, and the defendant walked into the same box, and likewise fell to work with a knife and fork. A conversation commenced, in which the complainant, although a Yorkshireman, very readily joined without at all suspecting his new acquaintance. The defendant said that his father was a man of fortune, and that he came to town to buy a horse to run in a match with another in the old gentleman's phaeton, and that the complainant could assist him in making the pur chase. The complainant consented, and it was quite evident, that if he had happened to have 401. about him, the defendant and some fellows who were co operating with him would have become possessed of it by one of those manoeuvres which prove so frequently successful at fairs and markets. Mr.. Harman, however, not being supplied with ready cash to answer any more than his immediate occa casions, luckily called at the counting-house of a gentleman of the name of Pond, his broker, for the purpose of getting the amount, taking the defendant with him. Mr. Pond, upon looking at the defendant, at once suspected that he was a flat-catcher, and asked Mr. Harman who he was ? " Oh, he is a friend of mine," replied the Yorkshireman. " How did you get acquainted with him ?" asked Mr. Pond. " Oh, I met him at dinner," said Mr. Harman. The consequence was, that the cletl.lidant completely lost his chance of plundering Mr. Harman. It may appear rather surprising that a Yorkshire man was so near being victimised, but it came out in the course of the investigation by the Lord Mayor, that Mr. Harman was not only tempted by the oppor tunity afforded him to serve a gentleman of fortune, but was to have handled two sovereigns as commission upon the purchase of the horse, which was stated by the stable-keeper in whose care the animal had been left for a little while, to be worth no more than 131. A solicitor, who attended for the defendant, sub mitted to the Lord Mayor that there was no case for him to answer. The LORD MAYOR said he regretted that he was obliged to discharge the prisoner. Of the intention of that person to plunder Mr. Harman there could not be the slightest doubt, hut Mr. Pond fortunately was applied to in the nick of time. His Lordship expressed some surprise that a man with so many years upon his back could, merely upon a mutton chop acquantance, have hazarded his money and his reputat ion. The defendant retired from the bar smiling. BOW-S'TREET. Yesterday Francis Hallett was charged with having taken indecent liberties with Mrs. Elizabeth Butter, at a late hour on Monday night, and with violently assaulting Thomas Humphries, who now lies in a dangerous state at the Charing-cross Hospital. The prisoner was represented by his attorney as a person holding a responsible situation under Government. Elizabeth Butter, of 179, Drury-lane, a married woman advanced in pregnancy, stated that she was at the corner of St. Martin's-lane, Castle-street, shortly after twelve on Monday night, in the company of her husband, who had stopped to speak with some friends. With the view of resting herself, she sat down upon a large stone on the footway, which was undergoing repair, and while in that position the prisoner and another man came up to her, when the former assaulted her in the indecent manner charged. Her husband approached him and said, " She's my wife," and re monstrated with him. An altercation ensued, and, during the scuffle, the prisoner raised his sti c k an d levelled a severe blow at the head of Humphries, who was knocked down upon the pavement, bleeding pro fusely and insensible. Humphries had interfered as the friend of witness's husband. Joseph White, of 16, West-street, Sobo, one of the party in conversation with Butter, corroborated this evidence. Samuel Pope, a plasterer, of Exeter, the companion of the prisoner on the night in question, denied that any indecency was committed by his friend, and said that the blow given by him was necessary for self defence, as the whole party were attacking him. William Crick, a by-passer, connected with neither party, also stated his opinion that the prisoner was justified in his attack upon Humphries. The certificate of the house-surgeon, to the effect that Humphries was in a dangerous state, having been put in, the case was remanded for a week. Mr. TWYFORD, after much consideration, acceded to the earnest application of the prisoner's attorney to take bail for his appearance—himself in 2001., and two sureties in 1001. each. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday John Sprolc, who, about twelve months ago was butler in the service of Mr. W. A. M. Mac kinnon, M.P., No. 4, Hyde Park-place, was placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson for re-examination, charged with having stolen a silver table spoon and a silver dessert fork, the property of the gentleman above named. It appeared from the evidence that upon several occasions articles of plate had been stolen from the premises, and it had been strongly suspected that the prisoner was the thief. On Saturday last he (pri soner) called at the house, when he asked to be allowed to speak to the housekeeper, and he was de sired to go into the kitchen. He went down stairs, and was soon afterwards observed to come out of the butler's pantry. The spoon and fork were almost immediately missed, and, on the prisoner being stopped by the butler, the said articles were found in his possession. Police-constable Bewley, 153 D, who was called in, took him into custody, and he then said that he intended to pledge the plate, and redeem it as soon as possible. The prisoner, who had now nothing to say, was fully committed to Newgate for trial. Yesterday Mrs. Annc Watson, a very respectably attired woman, about thirty years of age, carrying in her arms a fine infant, and who at the station-house said that she resided in Rupert-street, Haymarket, was brought up in custody, and placed at the bar, be fore Mr. Rawlinson, charged with having stolen silk of the value of 151., the property of Mr. Rowland Hooper, in an extensive way of business, at 52, Ox ford-street. The husband of the accused was present. William Duggen, assistant to Mr. Hooper, deposed, that on the previous evening, between seven and eight o'clock, the prisoner entered the shop and looked at some calicoes, a quantity of which she purchased; and, while the woman who had served her was hand ing in to the cashier the particulars of the sale, wit ness, whose attention had been directed towards her (prisoner), saw her take from the counter five silk dresses (lengths not made up) and place them under her cloak; he went up to her and questioned her re specting what she had done, when she dropped four of the said dresses on the floor; the fifth he took from her. Hardiman, 76 C, stated that he was called upon to take into custody the prisoner, who denied knowing anything whatever about the silk. Another shopman of Mr. Hooper's was examined, and his evidence was confirmatory of that given by the first witness. The prisoner, who has upon a former occasion been convicted of shoplifting, was committed for trial. CLERKENWELL. Anne Pztrehas, alias Smith, alias Roberts, alias Wil liams alias Heffizon, with a variety of other aliases, was Charged with obtaining money on false pretences from the Rev. T. H. Bullock, curate of Christ Church, Bloomsbury, residing in Everett-street, Brunswick square. It appeared from the evidence of Horsford, the Mendicity officer, that the prisoner has been known to the Mendicity Institution for the last thirty years as a most artful and successful begging-letter impos tor. Her husband had been at one time a thriving tradesman, but even in his lifetime, and when there was no occasion to exercise fraud in order to obtain at least the necessaries of life, this woman betook herself to this species of imposition. At one time she repre sented that her husband had just met with a shocking death ; at another that her son had a leg amputated ; at another that she was afflicted with an intestinal complaint, and produced numerous documents pur porting to be medical certificates, and those engrav ings from truss-makers showing spinal deformities, &c. Then she had warrants of distress filled up in the most formal manner, and testimonials from clergy men in abundance. She had not carried on her system of imposture with impunity, as will appear by the following list (which Horsford read) :—Committed by Mr. Shutt, at Marylebone, for two months, for a fraud on Lady Beverly, on the 21st of August, 1835. On this occasion she represented herself as a widow with five children, which was untrue. 15th August, 1836, committed for one month by Mr. Dyer, for obtaining money on false pretences from Sir J Ramsden. 21st June, 1838, ditto by Mr. Hoskins. August 14, 1838, ditto by Mr. Shutt. 16th Decem ber, 1840, ditto by Mr. Dyer, for a fraud on Lord Fitzallan. January 30, 1841, ditto by Mr. Hard, wick, one month. July 16, 1841, ditto by Mr. Hard wick. September 23, 1841, ditto by Mr. Rawlinson, for three months, for a fraud on the Rev. Mr. Baker. December 23, 1841, ditto by Mr. Greenwood, one month. April 14, 1842, sentenced, to nine months' imprisonment by Sergeant Adams, at the Middlesex Sessions ; the prisoner's counsel, however, had the sentence remitted, in consequence of an informality in the indictment. October 11, 1842, committed for one month, by Mr. Rawlinson. June 5, 1843, ditto for three months, by Mr. Rawlinson. January 22, 1844, ditto by Mr. Greenwood, three months, for a fraud on Mrs. Rashleigh, of Russell-square. The Rev. Mr. Bullock deposed that, on Saturday morning last, the prisoner came to his house, told him her little son, who had been at Christ Church School, was very unwell, and that she wanted a little pecuniary assistance, to enable her to send him to Ramsgate on that afternoon. Witness asked her name, and she said her name was Anne Fielden, of 19, Little Chapel-place, Little Coram-street. Witness gave her four shillings. Her sick son, as she called him, was with her, a lad of about seventeen ye ars . Mr. MBE sentenced her to three months' impri sonment in the House of Correction. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday a good-looking young woman, about 28 years of age, named Maria Clifibrd, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged at the instance of the Rev. Mr. King, Rector of St. George's-in-the- East, one of the Directors, and Mr. Thomas Natt, Secretary to the Guardian Society for the Preserva tion of the Public Morals, an institution at the north side of Bethnal-green, and of which her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent is the patroness, with at tempting to induce two of its female inmates to enter upon a course of prostitution at a well-known house of that description at the West-end. Mr. Natt said that the Institution, of which he was one of the Secretaries, and which was supported by a great number of the nobility and persons of distinc tion, had been founded for the very beneficial pur pose of providing a temporary asylum, with suitable employment, in the shape of needlework and washing, and repairing articles of apparel, for young women, who have deviated from the paths of virtue, and who have either been removed from the public streets by the operation of the laws, or have been awakened by their consciences to a sense of their danger and guilt ; and he need not point out to the Magistrate how essential it was to mire a severe example of :my person yvh ur n t h e y de tected in making imm rat overtures to any of the inmates, or propositions, the tendency of which was to seduce them back to a life of prostitution. There were now upwards of thirty inmates in the Guardian Society's establishment, of whom tlia prisoner, two very pretty young women, 17 years of age, the names of Huff and Fowler, formed three, and t , be cause of his charging the prisoner was this considered beneficial and advi , able !)3 , the Laot i , e ,, Committee, as tending to break the monotony of P si asylum life, that the young women should 11 ° occasional opportunities of visiting their fr ends an relatives, and all the inmates were perfectly hafl with their situation, and contented with these hv; days, with the exception of the two young vre rne Huff and .Fowler, who, from being two of the h s l piest and best conducted. had, since the prisoner ad:nission to the institution, become discontented directly the reverse. This conduct had, at last, be i come so manifest and annoying that the matrons a li t managers were satisfied there must be some imP,r ° ,l. ; cause for it, and one of the servants, who too care of the sleeping apartments, was directed tor a l it out, if possible. On the preceding evelli;' when the girls were about to retire to rest, woman, as they took off their clothes, made a Pei °t4 examining them, and on scrutinizing the Star* Fowler and Huff, she fancied she felt something l o a letter sewn in between the stays and the busk o each of them. She was, consequently, induced t ° 4 their stays open, and upon so doing found her so a r; eions verified by discovering two letters, one ill ea e stay, in the handwriting of the prisoner, strongli v e commending the young women for a life of pros lion, to the landlady of a well-known house of a e rl tain descripiton, in the neighbourhood of Manches te square, and of which it appeared that the prisonerbhie te, self had formerly been an inmate. The instant the discovery was made one of the girls fell to A ground in hysterics, and upon being recovered ,7 0 1, carried to bed ; the other girl likewise became t o larly affected shortly afterwards, and both of t_lo at the moment he was speaking, were then c onfin , ".. a j their beds, and had been ever since subject to a l ie succession of hysterical fits, so that it was impossibi e d produce them before the Magistrate with safety. 00 e0 the young women, in the course of an interval bet these affections was gently questioned as to thean o l of the letters, when she declared that the prisonel74, written them, and been for a long time past taraP;, ing with them, to induce them to go back to so d istence of vice, and promising them, if they '4 consent to go to the house to which e recomMe n them, they would each receive three g uineaS week, be splendidly attired, wear gold wa tches oi chains and jewellery, and have every luxury "b e id d could wish for," and the prisoner's persuasions i et , had such an effect upon them that they had d e a r mined upon embracing the first opportunity of ie fir ing the asylum and following her advice. Th e rot soner was then called in and questioned, when, SO4 from contradicting what the young women hadstsi she fully acknowledged it to be perfectly correet , ool; attempted to justify her conduct, by saying s e , : she had advised the young women for their ()sl i d vantage, as she had learned from them that Dr; e - i they had sought refuge in the asylum,* had been in the habit of frequenting estau ments of an inferior description, and she ate it a pity such beautiful young women should r o t sacrificed. Althouga so late at night witness deepmined to make inquiry about the house in qu est Owith a view to its suppression, and on going t ap found it to be a house of a very respectab' e , oo l3 quiet appearance, and let at a rental, as he imagine, of at least 801. or 1001. per year. 4 l questioned the policeman on the beat, and then ,7, 0 1 to the station house and saw the inspector 00 do who, upon mentioning to him his errand, sent for ,ir other constables, and they all expressed their ee ll te d tion that the house was one of the description st s co r although very well conducted, and no formal, to if• plaint had been made to the police with regaru i ty On receiving this confirmation the managers ° of asylum had determined upon letting the prisou e o main in the institution that night, but to give 11 14 custody the next morning, which had aceo .— been done. oil Two inmates of the asylum, named SlPa fl i a Matthews and Caroline Oade, the latter 20 Se p' age, proved, the first, finding the notes in the yo 1W women's stays, and the second, that they were Ifeaj handwriting of the prisoner, who, the Rev. Mr.fiti, said, had been an inmate also for about four ra ° , 1 ;11: , but would never again be permitted to enter its v ole rhe letters were then put in and read, an d tb d exactly as follows, suppressing the number 0 house and name of its manager : soaS "Miss Clifford's compliments to Mrs. --a re t she would be so polite as to speak to the bee (ey this, Miss C. would take it as a favour, as she be is quite ignorant of the life, and I t" . .. foff' would be a pity that she should be lost.

CLIFF° " Mrs. —, Manchester-square." The prisoner, upon being asked if she wi-%.,a heu o f offer any observation, burst into a violent Iv" - • tears, and declined saying anything.
