ettrti Wbttton FRANCE. The Pope's Nuncio in Paris has addressed a cir cular letter to the Bishops of France, announcing to them that the Pope having carefully considered the Bill on Public Instruction, passed by the Legislative Assembly, and having been apprised of the religious scruples entertained by some prelates against sitting in the Superior Council with Protestant Ministers and a Jewish Rabbi, his Holiness recemmends the Bishops to make all the sacrifices consistent with their duty in order to save society from the dangers to which it is exposed at the present moment. The Nuncio reminds the Bishops that France, at the commencement of the present century, gave an ex ample of as severe a sacrifice in order to preserve and to restore the Catholic religion. .His Holiness expresses his disapprobation of mixed schools, and exhorts the Bishops, in case such should be esta blished in any diocese, to take measures to secure for the Catholic children the advantage of a separate school. " For," says the Nuncio, " the Holy Father, bitterly deplori ng th e progre.,s which indifference in matters of religion has made in France, as in other countries, and which has produced terrific evils by the corruption of the faith of the people, anxiously desires that on this important point all pastors shall profit by every opportunity carefully to instruct the laithful committed to their care on the necessity of a single faith, and a single religion—truth being one— to remind them frequently of their duty, and to ex plain to them the fundamental dogma, that out of the Catholic Church there is no salvation." GERMANY. The Vienna papers of the 15th inst. state that the court-martial of Arad has again published thirteen sentences, of which three awe capital ones. The pu nishment in each of these three cases has been com muted into incarceration for a term of sixteen years. The Bishops of the Tyrol have sent in a petition to the Emperor, praying that his Majesty will be pleased to prohibit the public exercise of Divine worship in the case of all non-Catholic sects. TURKEY. The Wanderer has letters from Constantinople of the Ist inst.; stating that the former Turkish Cabinet went out en the 27th April, and that the department of Finance was given over to Halet Effendi, while the chief direction or Law affairs was taken by Chebik Effendi, late Secretary of Foreign Affairs and Am bassador at Rome and Constantinople. Rifat Pasha has been appointed President of the Council. The insurrections in Bosnia, Smyrna, and Samos, have been suppressed. The Pasha Jochmus, late Minister to the Archduke John, is preparing to re turn to Turkey.

The philosophy of a chimney formed the subject of Professor Faraday's lecture on Saturday last. He endeavoured in the first place to impress on his audience the importance of the duties which a chimney performs, by showing the quantity of deleterious matter removed by that means of ventilation. Esti mating that an ordinary parlour fire burns 401bs. of coals in twelve hours, the amount of gaseous products fatal to life, resulting from that com bustion, would be 42,000 gallons, and not only is that quantity of gas carried away by the chimney, but the draught of air towards an open fire-place causes five times the amount of the actual product of combustion to ascend, and thereby removes the air spoiled by respiration, and tends to maintain a healthy ventilation. The actual weight of matter carried up such a chimney in twelve hours is esti mated to exceed 2,000b5. To illustrate the effect of the ascent of smoke up a chimney, caused by the ex pansion of the column of air by heat, the professor heated a glass tube closed at one end, and then in verted it in a coloured liquid, which ascended in the tube as soon as the expanded air was contract( d by cooling. Several experiments were exhibited for the purpose of showing tee force exerted 15y the a.,- cending column of air, among which was an illustra tion of a descending flue. A coloured flame was held near the aperture ofa tube bent like an inverted syphon, the longer arm of which acted as a chimney. The flame at first rose perpendicularly, but as soon as the tube was heated the ascent of the air in the longer arm drew the flame downwards into the shorter with considerable force. As the ascent of smoke up a chimney depends on the comparative lightness of the column of heated air within, and an equal column of the atmosphere, the longer the chimney the stronger will be the draught, provided the fire affords suffi cient heat to warm the air ; but cases were men tioned in which, by adding to the length of a smoky chimney, it was made to smoke more than at first, because the flue was exposed to the external atmo sphere, and in cold weather the column of air, cooled by exposure, became heavier than the air within the chimney, and forced the smoke downwards. This case occurred at a light-house in the Isle of Portland, which Professor Faraday had been commissioned to examine, because the want of ventilation in winter dimmed the windows, and rendered the light useless at a distance. A model of the light-house chimney was on the lecture table, and the effect of cold air producing a downward current was shown by the application of ice to the outside. A chimney is sometimes made to smoke by the more powerful draught of another chimney communicating with the same room, for if the supply cf air to the fire place of the larger fire be not sufficient, the direc tion of the current of smoke up the chimney of weaker draught will be reversed. The more frequent cause of a smoky chimney, however, is the bad formation of the top, against which the wind strikes. If the chimney-top be properly shaped the wind will tend to increase the draught by being reflected up wards, however violent its force may be. As an ex emplification of the best manner of presenting sur faces to resist the force of the wind, Professor Fara day adduced his personal experience during the past week on Woolwich-common. He said he bad put up his umbrella to screen himself from the wind, but when i n t h e fi rst instance he held it to windward, h e found that the umbrella afforded very imperfect pro tection. He then place d . himself between the wind and the umbrellain this apparently exposed position he found andhimself much more protected than before. To illus t rate this effect a convex glass, to represent an w d as fixed on a rod, and a lighted candle was against the the middle, and the light was moved wi e th air h backwards and forwards. When advanced screen c c o before it, the air rushing in to supply t e t t he g f r i la l s a s ce to flicker; t c h ker ; but pied by the glass caused the flam e when the candle was advanced in fro e nt the flame burned steadily. The application o e f sereen a jet of steam to increase the blast of lo comot i ve engine fur was illustrated in a variety of ways. In the first place the lower end of a bent glass tube was pieced in a dish containing coloured liquid, the upper wad being inserted into a larger and horizontal tube. A jet of high-pressure steam was then directed through the larger tube, which carr ied su c h a rush of air to supply the place of the air expelled by th e steam, that the coloured liquid rose to nearly the top of the perpendicular part of the tube. The effect of the steam jet was shown by the directionofa large coloured flame, and by the smoke of ignited gun powder, the latter being blown out at the further ex tremity like smoke from a cannon, though gun powder was ex pl o ded at the opposite end the Professor Faraday concluded by showing a very curious experi- Inept illustrativ e of the force of a jet of steam. The t f:om a strong di g ester having been di rected up "rdi, he placed an egg in the issuing s t e am, by the forc e of which it was sustained in the air, dancing about with great bri.kness. - --- - BATTERSEA PARK.—The continued delay that has .. taken place in carrying out the Act of Parliament for the . f mnation of this p ar k, has at length aroused the attent i on o f the inhabitant, and clergy throughout the extensive district of Battersea, &c., to adopt measures for urging upon the Government and Commissioners to carry out the intentions of the Legislature, by pointing ou . the evils, as well as in jury to property consequent on further delay. For that pur pose several meetings of the leading inhabitants have been held, and a correspondence entered into, with a view to the sc veral parishes and districts acting in concert with each other, the more strongly to impress upon the Government ti e necesiityfor their interference. To carry such intent on ii to effect, it has been determined that an aggregate meeting • o• the intiabitants of the parishes of Lambeth, &C., shall be held during the present week. •.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS . On Tuesday, M a y u 14 (William C bitt, Esq., pre sident,. in the chair), th e paper read was "On the Con• struction of the Permanent Way of North ivi R a il ways ; i d w l a a i n y t d h , an Account of the Wrought-iron Perm anen t laid down on the Main Li ne o f t h e N or Railway," by Mr. W. H. Barlow, M. Inst, C. E. The author commenced by entering into the ques tion of the maintenance and renew a l o f th e ordinary railways, analysing very minutely th e expenses under the different heads, and sh ow i ng to what causes the derangement of the line might be attributed. The cost of maintenance was stated to be dependent on two causes, the effect of weather, &c., and the disturbance produced by traffic; and from a summary of the expenditure of the dif ferent lines belonging to the Midland Company, it appeared that the former amounted to 90/. or 301. per mile per annum, and the latter varied from 2d. to 2.7 d. per train per mile. After a line was consoli dated, by far the greater part of this expenditure was due to the derangement caused by the passage of the trains, which first produced an uneven juint, then loosened the joint key, and then disturbed the sleeper, so that at length the whole of the permanent way ge nerally was degraded. With regard to renewal, it had been estimated by the officers of the London and North-Western Rail way, that on their line the rails would last twenty years, and the sleepers, if " creosoted," twenty years, but if unprepared only, twelve years ; now as the than wduration eath, it w of service as of the rails was dependent on the amount of n th th e e t L ra o ffi n c, and that of the sleepers on the er, quite do env and iden North-Western, , that orth - o i n v l e i s n t e s 11 , a vi n lessg traffic h pro portionate expense of renewing the sleepers ern w t o h u e ldb ishe. In endeavouringmtruaffichogdri e m a i t n er, and would i ncrease as t h e amount o f to seek a remedy f o r this, the author conceived, th a t , .b y increa s i ng the dimensions of th e b r id ge rail, suffi c ien t width might be obtained for it to t a k e i ts own the use of either bear ingin the b a ll as t, w i t h out transverse s le epers or longit u di na l that supports ; and, moreover, be very du ra bl e , an d b e cwaopualbcilepoosfseshseginregat streng th, renewedat moderate expense. He therefore proposed a b a r e i a dtc h e rail, 13 inches There ) in width, 5i- inches in Messrs. 1261b5. per lineal yard. weighing wast and some difficulty at first in getting it manufacturedb Bolckuw and Vaughan, of Middlesborou to hard metal ees, had overcome all the practical difficulties, g a n d . produced rails of the required size, with n "w in the upper portion, and ductile metal in the lower, by which both durability and strength were insured . The joint was made by either a cast, or wrought-iron chair, or saddle, which received the ends of the rails," and into which they were keyed with wooden keys. The gauge was preserved by means of a tie-bar, fitted and keyed into sockets on the chairs. An experimental length of road on this construction had been laid down on the main line of the North Midland Thiil way, the cost of which 'was 3,3231. per mile ; but it was thought, that in future this might be reduced to 2,4871. per mile, by reducing the weight of the rails to 100Ibs. per yard, and the chairs in proportion, as it was found by experiment, that these rails were greatly in excess of strength, being as much as three times stronger than that of the ordi nary double-headed rail.

Edmund Phipps, the Hon. E. H. Stanley, ALP., the Hon. Charles Hardinge, Sir Edward Ryan, Sir John Davis, Bart., Sir Thomas Phillips, Sir J. E. Tennent, Sir R. Paul Jodrell, Bart., I‘.lr. Joseph Napier, M.P., Mr. James Wyld, M.P., Major Her bert Edwardes, C. 8., Major Rawlinson, C. 8., Sir Henry Ellis, Mr. G. P. R. James, Mr. Robert Bell, Mr. George Cruikshank, Mr. Erasmus Wilson, Mr. Davis, secretary of the United States Legation, Dr. Mackay, Mr. W. Tooke, F.S.A., Mr. John Britton, F.S.A., Mr. George Godwin, F.R.S., &c. The usual loyal toasts having been disposed of, the Chairman proposed " The Church," and the Rev. Henry Alford returned thanks. The next toast was that of " The Army and Navy," in proposing which the Chairman alluded, in very complimentary terms, to the gallant conduct of Major Edwardes in the wars of the Punjaub. Major EDWARDES, in returning thanks, said he could not claim the honour of bearing her Majesty's commission, but he had certainly had the high grati fication of serving in two desperate campaigns in India—the first and second Seikh wars; and he was proud to bear witness, before this great assembly, that no army in the world could have displayed greater bravery than was exhibited by her Majesty's troops in those memorable battles to which he had alluded. His experience had taught him that, al though the armies of many other countries might be larger in point of numbers, there was no army in the world which had been brought to such high perfec tion as the army of England. He could not help thinking that those who expressed the opinion that the standing army of this country was too large were mistaken, for he thought the numbers were not more than sufficient to show that En • gland was well protected against aggression. He said this, not as a soldier speaking for his cloth, but as a soldier speaking for his country. Having said thus much in favour of the British army, he might be al lowed to make an observation respecting the army in which he had the honour of serving. The army of India was entitled to no small share of the credit due to the troops whose valour had maintained the British possessions in the East. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing prosperity to the Royal Literary Fund, said that two objects were kept constantly in view by those who administered the affairs of the charity, viz.—the rigid restriction of its funds to cases in which adversity was associated with honest merit, and the desire not to afford mere tem porary relief, but, as far as possible, to supply sub stantial and permanent comfort. There could be no doubt that such meritorious objects as these were well deserving of public support, and he trusted that all present would exert themselves towards increasing the funds of this excellent institution. The Learned Chairman concluded a very eloquent address by an appeal to the sympathies of those who formed a just appreciation of the beauties and advantages of lite rature. The toast having been most warmly responded to, The SECRETARY read a report, setting forth the object of the society, and the amount of grants awarded for the relief of authors, their widows and orphans during the past year. The chairman's health was then proposed by Mr G. P. R. JAMES, and was drunk with the utmost en thusiasm. The CHAIRMAN afterwards gave "The Health of the Belgian Minister," stating that he was happy to in form the company that his Excellency had kindly promised to preside at the next anniversary festival of the institution. The BELGIAN MINISTER, in returning thanks, said he had always felt a pride in identifying himself as much as possible with the institutions of this great country; and he felt it a high honour in being re quested to fill the position of chairman at the next meeting of this society. Various other toasts were then drunk in succession, amongst which were " The Hon. E. Phipps and the Biographers," "Mr. Robert Bell and the Dramatists," " Mr. Skey and the Writers on Science," "Mr. Na pier and the Literature of Ireland," &c. ; and at the close of the evening it was announced that subscrip tions had been received amounting to 7501, including 1001. from her Majesty and 20 guineas from Mr. Justice Talfourd. The company did not separate till a late hour. RAILWAY RETURNS RAILWAY THAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the same wef•k in the previous year:— A mile of road bad also been laid upon the same ine, with cast-iron sleepers, adapted to the ordinary rail, as introduced by Mr. P. W. Barlow, M. Inst. C.E.; and another mile bad been laid with these cast iron sleepers at the joints only, but having interme diate sleepers of timber. The motion of the trains over their several experi mental lengths was firm and steady, there being no perceptible difference between the two latter descrip tions. In the discussion which ensued, in which Messrs. Hawkshaw, Brunel, Locke, M.P., P. W. and W. H. Barlow, and Glynn, took part, the relative advan tages and disadvantages of the different systems of permanent way in present use were discussed, and also in some slight degree compared with that pro posed by Mr. W. H. Barlow ; but it appeared to be a general opinion, that no one system of laying a per manent road could at present claim a great superiority over any other; and that, in reality, much more de pended on the good quality of the materials used in its construction, than in any particular way of laying it. The objects to be attained were—simpli oil of construction, so that there should be as few parts as possible to get out of order, a perfect joint, and economy of maintenance ; and though the two first of these desiderata were admitted to be obtained in a permanent way with bridge• shaped rails and longitudinal timber sleepers, it was contended that they were, to some extent, counterbalanced in a road laid in the ordinary manner, with double-headed rails, and cast-iron chairs, as, in some instances, after being turned, the second table was found to be more durable than the first. Whatever might be the result of the discussion, it was admitted that the subject was one of great im portance, and that the introduction of any improve: , went in so vital a point as the " permanent way would confer a great boon on railway property. It was announced from the Chair, that the Presi dent's annual Conversazione would be held on Tues day evening, May 28th, for which the co-operation of the members was sought, so that an interesting collection of models of engineering constructions, and of specimens of works of art, might be made ; and the meeting was adjourned until Tuesday next, May 21st, when the ballot for members would take place, and the following paper would be read :—" On Printing Machines ; especially that used in the Printing of the Times newspaper," by Mr. Edward Cowper.

MONDAY EVENING, •METROPOLITAN INTERMENTS BILL. Two meetings have lately taken place en the sub ject of the Metropolitan Interments Bill, which , have shown something more of the animus of the opposition to that measure than was, perhap., intended to he re- ' vealed. The first of the eccasiens to which we allude was last Friday's sitting of the Common Council— s sufficiently decent and:dull affair when compared with the second, which was the meeting held, on Monday night, at the Whitti ng t on Cl u b . At the Common Council, the objectors contented themselves with making foolish speeches and quietly voting against the Government scheme; but at the Whittington Club heads were broken, women were terrified and injured, and a scene was enacted fitter for a set of savages to have played than for the inhabitants of a civilizsd metropolis—all because it had been proposed to abolish a foul, disgusting practice, pernicious to the health and offensive to the feelings of our citizens. The op position came from two parties—from the parochial and civic authorities, who fear the extinction of their powers, and from certain undertakers, who tremble for their profits. Exlmine it on every side, and no other motive is discoverable. To the first class of objectors we can say but little —and that little will be very general. Vested rights and local interests must, doubtless, be regarded, and parochial authority must be maintained, if possible. To these obvious propositions we cordially assent. But when a question arises between the continuance of such a practice as that of intramural interments, and the intact preservation of local and parochial powers, we are bound to prefer the greater good to the less, and not to sacrifice the end to the means. Legal privileges, when opposed to general well-being, must be given up, with such compensation as the nature of the case requires and allows. Intramural burials have been proved to be highly injurious to the public health. The putrescent gases which are evolved from the decomposing animal matter of the 52,000 corpses that are annually laid in metropolitan grave yards—" the slightest inspection," says Dr. Lyon Playfair, " showing that they are not thoroughly absorbed by the soil lying over the bodies"—are dangerous to health at all times, and are fatal to life when breathed in any considerable quantity. Instances have occurred in which frightful diseases have been generated—in some cases, instant death has ensued—when men have rashly or ignorantly delved into graves before time has shrivelled up the putrid remains into mere dry bones. Yet these pestilential gases are daily and hourly diffusing themselves throughout London, from the myriads of corpses festering in her graveyards. And not only the air, but also the water of the metropolis becomes thus impregnated with offensive and deleterious matter. What is not evolved into the atmosphere percolates through the earth into the neighbouring wells and springs. Nor is the evil confined to those wells which are quite close to the churchyards. At a dis tance of 30 feet from St. Pancras graveyard, the odour of the sewer was found to be "peculiarly offen sive, and was known to arise from the decomposition of the bodies"—so active, wide -spreading, and penetrat ing are these horrible gases. Dr. Sutherland, and other medical authorities, have expressed the most decided opinions on the injurious effects of so many bodies being interred in the midst of human habi tations. The greater virulence of the cholera in lo calities contiguous to graveyards, and the constant presence of typhoid fevers and dysenteric disorders in certain districts, where the walls of the houses are damp and wet, oozing with the very matter of decom position, bear out this conclusion. In fact, none but men endowed with the extraordinary amount of men tal inertia which Mr. Lawrence possesses, would ever dream of denying the positive proofs which have been adduced of the extreme injuriousness of this custom. When a Bill, therefore, is introduced to do away with such an abominations is it worthy of humanity to begin wrangling about its details, and to offer to a proposed national benefit an opposition founded on the selfish claims of prescriptive authority ? As regards the actual pecuniary rights of individuals and classes, Government has offered what it could in the way of compensation ; and the common instincts of huma nity—the common decencies of civilization—ought to teach men to forego any fancied interest that they may have in :the preservation of a brutalizing and filthy custom. Those undertakers who seem to have been the chief performers in the disgraceful scene at the Whittington Club have acted in a man ner alike wrong and foolish. They clamour for com pensation before they know that they will lose a half penny of profit. We must have undertakers, whether the gravediggers are paid by the parish or by the Government ; and it is not very likely that any at tempt will be made to introduce sumptuary laws for bidding a man to spend as much as he likes on the burial of his relative. We hope, indeed, to see even tually a better state of feeling established with re ference to this subject than that which now exists— we hope to find the public gradually and voluntarily growing out of their present belief that expense is respectability. This is among our greatest social curses. In every grade there is the same struggle to maintain a costly expenditure—the same sacrifice cf utility and common sense to appearances. We would not, however, interfere with the undertakers' bills if people choose to pay them; but we would teach all classes that a " decent burial" is not one which necessarily causes the temporary— and perhaps the permanent—pecuniary embarrass ment of the survivors. It is one where quiet, so lemnity, and order are observed—where respect is paid to the dead, and where all the decencies are maintained which a healthy natural instinct dictates —not where there are hearse, plumes, sweeping cloaks, useless hatbands, and a large display of hired grief. All this may be what is called "respectability," but it is not the genuine expression of human reve rence to the remains of those we loved. When we remember that the surviving relatives of the dead, dwelling round the metropolitan churchyards, are often smitten, as with a plague, by the foul emana tions of those charnel-houses—when we think of the corpses that are daily dug up to make room for new corners, and of the hacked limbs and scattered bones that strew the ground when we reflect on the outrages which are offered to every human feeling and to every instinct of affection and delicacy —we cannot but regard the op position to a removal of these disgusting abominations, on the ground of sentimental re gard for the "feelings of relatives," as alike puerile, mischievous, and insincere. And yet this is made part of the " cry" against the Metropolitan Inter ments Bill. To the poor, this Bill, with its provi sions for lessening the expense of funerals, would be invaluable. The existing cemeteries are, compara tively, of little use to them, for they cannot trans port inconvenience thr e deadand outlay—andthither e are heavy for them already. Many a family is obliged to keep its dead in the common living-room of eight or ten peopleperhaps for weeks—before it can find funds for the costly ceremony of interment. If, then, the higher classes would set an example of simplicity and unostentatious decorum, they would naturally be followed by those beneath them, and much private misery would be thereby prevented. Without pausing to discuss the details of this measure, we hope to, see the great principle of extramural burial at once adopted by the Legislature. At present the health of the living and the reverence due to the dead are violated in the crowded metropolitan graveyards. Hundreds have died from the pestilence thence disseminated through the atmosphere—hundreds have sickened in their houses which the rank charnel vapour has filled ; and yet " focus of contagion" is the term deliberately ap plied to the proposed extramural cemetery, and we are expected to believe that the feelings of survivors will be outraged if their dead are laid decently i n quiet and reti remen t. It is inconceivable th a t suc h an oppositi on t o a me asure imperatively called f or b y every moral and sanitary consideration c an. e i t h er enlist the sympathies of the public or influence the deliberations of the Legislature.—Morning Chronicle Price.

Edward Wright, the keeper of one of the nume rous sham agency offices in different/parts of the me tropolis, under the pretence of procuring young men situations as clerks, &c., through the medium ut newspaper advertisements, was brought up, charged with being concerned with Sparkes and Stanley (alias Nixon), at present under remand, in fraudulently on tainiog from James Hoare the sum of 201, and also from Alfred Savage a further sum of 51., in the month of February last. The first •named person stated that he was by trade a shoemaker, and answered an advertisement' which appeared in the Morning Advertiser on the 24th of January, requiring. a messenger and collector to . st shipping and emigration office, at 16, Upper Welling ton-street, Strand, .where he called, and saw the pri soner in company with Stanley, who was acting in the capacity of clerk, and having inquired what was to be his employment, was informed by the prisoner that he would acquaint him in a few days, being perfectly satisfied of his competency to fill such a situation, but that the sum of 201. would . be required as a security, as certain sums of money would daily pass through his hands ; upon which he entered into an agreement, which was signed by them, and paid a deposit of Si. in the 'presence of Stanley, for which he got a receipt from the prisoner. After he had paid him the remaining 151., on the 7th of February, witness was to receive 245. a week as a salary, and the deposit money was to be paid to him atter he had given a written notice to quit the service. He entered the service on the 4th of February, before the deposit was paid and previous to the signing of the agreement, such an arrangement being understood by them both. At the conclusion of the first week he was paid his salary, and for the next week only 10i., but nothing for the third ; upon which he applied for his salary, and was told that he might leave immediately if he thought proper. The prisoner promised the repayment of his money, but. on the 26th of March the office was shut up. In answer to questions put by the prisoner witness said that he had accepted as a security for his money a pianofirte and two sets of mahogany chairs from the prisoner's m 'their on a blai,k. pj ee of paper ; after which he wa,s iu xrned her hu-tdnif was crehs- street pli:oe, Una that she had ;:t) ptiwer to wake. such an as,igtitneeit 11, never got possession on a ny portion of the articles, trtiting to the prisoner's of honour to rc nun fdrn his an d w , is u l' i mately informed that the document was f no value. He ired received seve:al le-tets •fror:i tLe prisoner re— questing further time pay the ath.unt Mr. HENRY—AVas it upon the faith of the agree ment - you inenrioil that you parted with your money ? Witness—lt was upon - the understanding that I was to have constant employment. Alhert S.r.vge, a servant out of place, came for ward to prefer :moth- r charge, and said, having, s4.en an advertisement, in th, Times on the 18th f brat; -5• f.r a cl-ri; or ors,- ge" he r'!sweri , :l it ; and, being ref,. red :0 - 11•F:er Wen n.; too- strcet, on the window of ahi i was pai!,te(, in 1,;7;e " Wright and Co., 'r.u.iiooeer:3, apprtis , N, chipping and emigrant agents," he saw the pri-o:rer and Stan ley (who shortly after felt the otile , ), upon which the prisoner told him he woul , i be required to give a de posit of 51, as considerable sums of money would be con-tantly passing through his hands, adding, that it was only a branch office, the principal one being at Hull. On the next day he called again as desired, and being directed to step out a few minutes while the agreements were drawing up, on his return he found Stanley , writing. He then was shown the agreements, which be signed, and paid the required deposit, with the understanding that his salary was to be 1/• ls. per week. On the next day he commenced business, and although he was engaged ten days he received only 3s. from the prisoner. The nature of his duties was to carry messages about town, and ask questions upon frivolous matters. Mr. HENRY—Have you inquired if the prisoner had any agency-office at Hull? Witness—Yes, and have been informed that such was not the case. Prisoner—lt was my intention to have opened one there for servants, and as a house-agent. Thomas Topp, another servant wanting a place, said that on the 3d of April, observing an advertise ment in the Morning Advertiser, he applied at 17, Adam-street, Adelphi, the initials being "E. W.," and having seen the prisoner, an agreement was en tered into for a situation, salary 225. a week, the de posit being 3/., after paying whicb, and signing the agreement, he was sent to deliver letters at Clapham common, and other remote places ; and seeing how business was carried on, he demanded his deposit, having received only 103. as a salary, and was told that it would be paid on a future day. He never could get more money, with the exception of 6d. for something to drink. He was subsequently taken by the prisoner to his mother, who said that the deposit money, should certainly be paid. The first witness being recalled, said that Stanley had informed,him they had a registry-office at Hull, and when he pressed the prisoner for his money, he told him he should first rob some other person before he could pay him his demand. The prisoner again said he was about to take an office at. Hull. Mr. HENRY said the witnesses had spoken to an existing fact which increased their confidence, and considering that false representations had been made, particularly with respect to Savage, the prisoner should be remanded until Tuesday, without accepting bail for his appearance. MA tiLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Davis, a liitendraper'a shopman, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen 155 pairs of gloves, two shawls, and two lace veils, the property of Messrs. Lewis and Allenby, silk-mercers, Regent -street. Mr. Lewis said the prisoner was engaged as assist ant on the 2,1 of March, and discharged on the 26. h of April. Goods were constantly missed during the time the prisoner was in his situation, and as no con fidence was reposed in him he was discharged. From information received by prosecutor, he went that morning to the shop of Mr. Attenborough, pawn broker, Fleet -street, and was there shown 14 dozen pairs of gloves, two shawls, and two veils, which he knew to he the property of the firm. The gloves had on them the private trade mark. After waiting about half an hour in the back parlour, he went into the shop, and the prisoner was pointed out to him in one of the boxes. Prosecutor immediately recognised him, and was recognised by the prisoner, who instantly ran out of the shop, and endeavoured to escape, but was pursued and taken into custody. The prisoner said he was guilty, and appealed to him for mercy. The property recovered was in value about 301., but it only formed a portion of what had been missed. Mr. George Attenborough, pawnbroker, 204, Fleet street, said, on Friday evening the prisoner came to his shop and wished him to purchase a quantity of gloves. He asked him if the gloves were his own property. Ile replied, Yes. Ile inquired if he was in the trade. The answer was, No ; the gloves were the property of his brother. Witness requested to see the invoice. The prisoner went away, and re turned with the parcel and the invoice. Suspecting there was something wrong about the affair, he told the prisoner he wished to see the gloves by daylight. The prisoner consented, and left the gloves, making an appointment to call the next morning. Witness saw that the name of Lewis and Allenby had been erased from the gloves, and he sent to Regent-street to make the firm acquainted with what had occurred. Mr. Lewis came that morning, and remained in the back shop. The prisoner also came into the shop, and on seeing Mr. Lewis he said, " It's all over with me,' and attempted to run away. When stopped, the' prisoner said to Mr. Lewis, " I suppose if I pay for the goods you will let me off." Police-constable Westmoreland, C 27, said he stopped the prisoner, and took him into custody. As they were walking along the prisoner asked him to change arms. Witness did so. On searching him he found two pairs of gloves in his coat pocket, with Messrs. Lewis and Co.'s marks on them. The prisoner made no defence, and was fully coins mi•ted. Joseph Plant was charged with attempting to violate a young woman under these circumstances : Police-constable Hodge, C division, said about twelve o'clock he wali on duty in Regent-street, and when near Little Pulteney-street, he heard a woman exclaim in a feeble voice, " Get away, you beastly fellow." Witne!s went up to the place, and saw the prisoner was attempting to violate the woman. As . soon as the prisoner saw him h e t urne d on one ' s i de, and the young woman fell head foremost into the middle of the street. Witness raised her up, and as her appearance was not such as was usually presented by persons in liquor, he said he should take her to the hospital, and the prisoner must go with him. Witness put the young woman into a cab, and took her to the Middlesex Hospital. The following certificate had been given " A tan' de was brou g ht h ere a t one o'clock by Police: constable E 157, perb-cil) iuseuaitrle, and the symptoms were those of pcnson by some narcotic drug. Udder such ci!euaatatic,s, .1 hive oetairnd the female, who still remains partially unconscious, and have ordered the con stable to tyke the man f aind with her into custody. " Middlt-sex Hospital. "G. CAFE." A • later certificate stated that the woman was now perfectly conscious, but suffering great pain in the abdomen, and not in a fit state to give evidence. The defence of the prisoner was that he met the woman in Oxford-street, with a crowd about her, she being intoxicated. He accompanied her to Regent street, but he denied having attempted to take impro per liberties, or that he had made use of any drug or stupitying application. Mr: Bus Guam ordered the prisoner to be 'remanded ,ill Thursday next: • WESTMINSTER. Shortly before the closing of the court on Satur• day a decent-looking middle-aged woman hastily entered and entreated the magistrate's immediate attention to the following very distressing case : Applicant stated, that a poor woman named Holds worth, living in Cooper.street, Westminster, had on the previous day given birth to a child, anal, owing to the want of the common necessaries of life was fast sinking. Applicant had communicated the circum stances to the parish that morning, at half-past eleven o clock, and one of the functionaries had promised to visit the case immediately ; but, finding that he did not make his appearance, and apprehending that the unfortunate woman in whose cause her sympathies were enlisted might fall a victim for the, want of proper sustenance in her present precarious condition, she again went to the parish official, just before her application at this court, and was then informed that the woman's husband must come and make the appli cation. • The husband, who had been out of wcrk fot• a long period, had only just obtained a situation at 9.. per week, and, if he left his employment, 'would of course lose that scanty pittance. Mr. BURRELL immediately directed an officer to go forthwith to the poor woman's abode, and take with him 103., which, if he found the ease as repre-, sented, he was to leave for present necessaries. Mr. W. Taylor, an inspector Of the 13 division, un dertook the office, and returned in a few minutes with the assurance that it was really a very distressing. case. The poor woman had been confined, as stated, on the previous clay, and there was not a morsel of food in the place. He learned from inquiries, that the husband had been out of work for nine months, dur ing which time they had parted with all their little things to support themselves, and the husband had only got employment within the last few days at the wages stated. Kit. BURRELL presumed he had left the 10s., and inquired whether the inspector thought it sufficient for immediate necessities? Mr. Taylor replied he had I fr 'the money, at:d [hought it sufficient f4r the pre•evt. Surcipr..—On itl4y th•tween seven and eight o'clock, Mr. Hunter, a highly-respectable man, who had for a great many years carried on business as a poulterer in Leadenhall-rnarket, committed suicide by hanging him self.
