[The following appeared in our Third Edition of last night :---] SPAIN. The Chamber of Deputies rej,%cted on the 23d two of the six amendments against the grant of the authorization to levy the tax(..s after the Ist of January, and adjourned to the 27th ult. The Clamor Publico announces that General Figueras would resign the War Department for the Presidency of the Supreme Tribunal of War and larine. Count de Vista Hermosa would in that case succeed him as Minister of War. BELGIUM. The Belgian Senate on Saturday adopted, by 23 votes to 8, the Bill for putting gold money out of circulation. Yesterday the Bill was promulgated in the Moniteur, with the King's sanction. The Inde pendance of Brussels says " Notwithstanding what was said on the subject in the Chamber of Representatives, and notwithstanding the alrea d y di s tant dde of • the measures taken for driving English sovereigns and Dutch Williams out of the country, there still remain so many in Bel gium, and there are also so many French piecei, that the Bill has caused a certain perturbation, and led to a loss which is not without importance. Since the presentation of the Bill, Williams have fallen on the Exchanges of Brussels and Antwerthat p from a 20f. 70.3 e of . to 20f. 50:1., and even 2 01 . 40 is declin from 1 to 12 per cent. Moreover, we have learned from a very good source that in the country district, farmers can only get rid of the pieces they have in giving them at 201. No doubt, the Treasury is not touched by these little sacrifices, but they are not the less real ; and whilst it was necessary to combat the evil which existed, the Bill has aggravated it ; it has alarmed the public, who ought rather to have been re-assured. En attendant the realization of the fears to which the Bill is owing, certain loss is imposed on the country. At the same time official accountants, taking advan tage of the new law, have either refused to receive French gold pieces, or subjected them to reduction. This, however, in only the commencement of the trouble and embarrassment which the new law will occasion. Soon, perhaps, the public will be able to appreciate the lamentable consequences, and to see that in the presentation and voting of it, there has been a precipitation which nothing justified." SWEDEN. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Stock holm, 20th :—" What has been long forseen has taken place. The equestrian► order has rejected, by a ma jority of 316 votes to 89, the Governmental project relative to the representation of the people, and the order of peasants has rejected it by a majo rity of 87 to 18. The discussion on the mea sure was very animated and frequently very warm. Tne Hartmannsdorff pretended that the Bill would undermine the constitutional mo narchy, formally declared that it would never admit the principle of general elections, although it admitted that the present representative system required re forms, and promised to bring in a new Bill which would be more satisfactory. The order of peasants, in adhering to the opinion of the clergy and of the -*equestrian order, has completely separated itself from its old ally the order of the bourgeoisie, and appears to wish to prolong the rupture by proposing to revise the privileges of the towns." THE CALUMNY AND INTRIGUE. A correspondent says :—" In the south of England there resides a family of very high rack. The lady is a Baroness in her own right, and a Marchioness by marriage. She was left a widow when young, and she married secondly an amiable and accomplished gentleman, a nephew of an Irish Duke, and who on his marriage adopted the name of his wife's ancestors. The noble lady and her husband took up their resi dence where the former (who had been left an orphan when an infant) had resided in her youth. Here they have lived in a style suitable to their rank, and have been highly distinguished for their charity and hospitality. Passionately fond of music, they gave a series of musical soirees to the neighbouring nobility and gentry, at which musical amateurs, even of ducal rank, were performers. Although the family are Liberal, almost ultra-Liberal in politics, this was not of course thought of while dispensing hospitality, and the whole of the Tory families of suitable rank in the neighbourhood participated in that hcspi tality. From the influence which the family natu rally acquired in the neighbouring town, by means of their kindness and wealth, the husband was solicited by the inhabitants a few months ago to become their representative in Parliamenn. This he declined, but he recommended an intimate friend professing similar politics as himself, who was, after' a desperate contest, elected. In this contest both the noble lady and her husband took an active and conspicuous part. Now, the representation of this town had always been in the hands of the Tory families in the neighbourhood, and they were en raged beyond description to find it taken from them. They studied what insults and slights they could safely offer to the family that had supplanted them, so as to annoy and drive them from the neighbourhood. It appears that an attaché of one of the most distinguished foreign embassies in London, and who is intimately related to a princely family, bad been introduced to the lady by her husband's uncle as an eminent musical amateur, and one who was competent and would be willing to assist her ladyship in getting up her musical parties. He was of course treated with the utmost kindness by the family, and became a constant guest. About two months since he, presuming on the noble lady's frank and unsuspecting disposition, offered her a gross and unmistakeable insult. Astonished at the outrage, she summoned ber husband, who was in a distant part of the house, to her protection, and he imme diately knocked the scoundrel down and kicked him ignominiously from the mansion. The lady'a poli tical enemies have fAbricated shameful insinua tions from this circumstance, but with such cunning as proves that their cowardice equals their malignity, and they have just now had the audacity to exclude the lady's name from amongst the list of patronesses to a public ball. The great spite ball, as it is termed, was to come off last night. In the mean- time the inhabitants of the neighbouring town have taken the matter up, and, one evening last week, when the noble lady (noble by birth and by many gifts and virtues) entered the Polytechnic Institution in the town, an institution of which she is a munificent patroness, the audience rose en masse, greeted her with the most enthusiastic cheering, and spoke un mistakeably what they thought of har enemies."— Daily News. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK (From the Registrar-General's Return.) The return for the week ending last Saturday shows that 1,196 deaths were registered in the me tropolitan districts; in the first three weeks of De cember they 1,004, 1,090 and 1,166. Tnis increase is considerable, and must be attributed in part to the character of the weather, which has been unfavour able to the public health ; but, as in the previous week, it is also due to some coroners' returns, which were net completed, as regards registration, when the inquests were held, but have been accumulating till the end of the quarter. Po the ten corre sponding weeks of the years 1840-9, the returns varied from 910 deaths in 1845, at a period of rather higher than average temperature, to 1,403 in 1848, when scarlatina and typhus were rife, and cholera had begun, these epidemics having succeeded to the influenza of the former year. The following comparative statement of deaths at particular ages shows that while the mortality of the young was not greater than usual in the last week there was an excess above the average among persons of middle age : _ _ Average of 10 Weeks Last Week. (1840-49). From birth to 15 years 512 514 From 15 years to 60 423 378 At 60 and upwards 232 260 Amongst children, however, hooping-cough, diarrhoea, and small-pox appear on the increase. The deaths from the first of these complaints were 61, from diarrhoea (principally amongst infants) 31 ; while 25 children and 5 adults died of the small-pox. This direase still prevails severely in Lisson-grove, where it was again fatal in 7 cases between the 20th and 25th of December. °illy one of the sufferers, six girls and one bay, had apparently been vaccinated. With reference to a death from small-pox; without vaccination, which occured to a boy in High-street, S'aadw , ll, Mr. Boss observes that " four other chil dren are suffering from the same complaint in the family ; the father refuses to give his children the protection of cow-pox, and such is the result; but the mischief does not end here, for the deadly poison is disseminated through the neighbourhood.' Another death from small-pox without vaccination is recorded by the same registrar in a house at Elm row, Shad well, and here also " four other children are suffering under small-pox, the father entertaining objections to vaccination." The registrar of Hag gerstone West mentions a family at Hoxton, in which the wife, son, daughter, and servant died of scarlet fever, all within a short period. A child in Chapel street, Woolwich, died, according to the medical cer tificate, of "miasmatic poisoning." The class of "diseases of the respiratory organs" coinprises laryngitis, bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia, asthma, and other diseases of the lungs, exclusive of phthisis, and numbers in this return 264 deaths, which is more than the average. From bronchitis there were 120; from pneumonia 90; the former showing an increase on the previous week, the latter a decrease. Three deaths are ascribed to privation of food or clothing, 11 amongst children to want of breast milk, 2to neglect, and 2to intemperence. The death of a girl aged 7 years is rep )rted by the medical a'tendant as caused by " hydropericardium—fright produced by a boy wearing a mask." The births of 658 boys and 712 girls, in all 1,370 children, were registered in the week. The average of five corresponding weeks in 1845-9 was 1,228. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

They announce that aner Pacha was every where victorious over the Bosnia insurgents. The Osservatore Dalmato quotes letters from Vergoras of the 13th, stating that a week before the - insurgents of Mostar attacked liustan Bey, the son of Ali Pacha, who still defends the citadel within the town, called Saraj, armed with twelve guns. It adds that the assailants were repulsed with loss. The chiefs of the insurrection are three rich Turks, named Passa Bey, Agmnirovic, and Cis sisic. Ali Bay had marched from Vizina to meet the troops of the Sultan, and prepared everywhere for their accommodation ; but having reached the fort of Gliubuski, which is in the hands of the insur gents, he could proceed no further. It appears from the latest accounts that the insurgents of Mostar have sent a deputation to the Seraskier, proposing the recal of the old Vizir of Herszgovine. The new Vizir of B Alija having sent his secretary to Mostar, in order to inquire whether he might pass through that town on his way to Bosnia with a suite of only sixty persons, the in surgents refused, unless he was furnished with full powers to treat with them, and to remove their grievances, in which case they promised not only to receive him well, but to obey him also. The resolu tion of the Vizir was not known, but it is certain thin he has proceeded to Buns, to confer with Ali Pacha. The corps of Kayas Paella has disbanded; it is not known whether he has been killed, or has succeeded in m eking his escape. Eleven of his men have been sent as prisoners to S..srrajevo, where the Seraskier is daily expected. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY. — Through a combination of causes, the previous liveliness of our market has given place, since Thnr3d.ty, to a geral quietness, which has been particularly marked to-day. The extensive transactions of the last fortnight leaving the market bare of yarns and pods at large, would na turally be followed by a ditninuthn of activity. And the advance in the rate of interest must, of course, check operations for distant markets, based upon long-dated bills. Practically th 3 rise is one per cent.; and as this hikes away the profits ordinarily made by the agency houses in the discount of such paper, they are not very likely to enter so readily, as has lately been the case, into that kind of business. Besides, there is the check of an inereaset difficulty of obtaining discounts even at the higher rate, and also the additional one of the possibility of its further enhancement. Certainly, the effect of this measure upon our staples is greatly lessened by the very fa vourable position of the producers ; yet it is manifestly felt. Then, the American accounts, showing a tendency to enlarged estimates, and also a decline in cotton at most of the ports—at New York of to of a cent per lb.— have excercised a slightly unfavourable influence, which would no doubt be greeter, but that that giving way is seen to hive been mainly occasioned by the appa rent imminence of war betwixt Prussia and Austria. But for the quietness which has peculiarly charac terised this day's market, we have to thank the Liverpool brokers, whose statement of the cotton on hand shows there to be a stock exceeeding by 70,000 bales the quantity which ought to be held, according to their own weekly returns; and what makes matters worse is, that the representations latterly put forth by some of them had led people to look for a deficiency of 30,000 or 40,000 bales. This enormous excess over what was expected has caused all parties to pause, and inquire what its Effect may be upon the value of cotton. These special circumstances have rendered this last day of the year one of very much less business than it would otherwise haeee been. The trans actions, indeed, are altogether immaterial. However, the quotations for yarns and goods remain unchanged, and a general firmness prevails. As fair and im partial chroniclers of the day, we are bound to tell the brokers of Liverpool that they have been sub jected, on every hand, to the most severe animadver sions, which, in most instances, impute to some of their body something much more culpable than care lessness or want of system; and they may depend upon it that it will be long before the weekly _and monthly returns they make of the receipts sales, and BO forth, have any confidence placed in them, after what has s o strangely happened in the way of blunders, in the same direction, for two years to gether. 7 ROCHDALE, Motip &T.—The market to-day has been very quiet ; but this is generally the case at this season of the year. The wool trade higher prices ar e b e i ng is firmer, and asked; but, only little doing. rr MACCLESFIELD, J. CESDA. I . ..... W e are unable to report any great business doing among the manu facturers, stock taking at this season prevent ing the buyers operating, excepting for imme diate wants, although i n some branches of the trade, such as piece goods, a fair de mand exists. The dyers are well employed, which is an indication that preparations are making actively for the spring trade. Sales of thrown silks have been to a fair extent, but prices are without the least im provement as yet. In raw silk there is no alteration in price since our last. The market is quieter than it was. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There has been a good trade doing to-day in the Cloth Hall, amongst fancies and woollen goods generally, for the American market. There have been a more than usual number of foreign buyers in town for the time of the season. S-venal of the warehouses have been very busy during the week for cnntinental orders, and, altogether, there has been a brisk business doing. There has been rather a stillness in the wool market to-day. HALIFAX, SATUBDAY.—Our Piece Hall has been pretty well attended to-day for the last Saturday of the year, which is generally considered a " dead market." Tne chief b.Aness has been in fancy goods of which a fair quantity is now being manufactured to order. The yarn trade is more buoyant ; and the s hi p ping houses give out orders freely, at advanced rates. There is scarcely so much doing in wool, and the quotations are very firm. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market has been well at tended; and, considering the season of the year, as many goods have been sold as possibly could be ex pec'ed. The woollen trade, generally, is in a satis factory state. The makers being generally fully well employed, and as stocks are not large, prices continue firm, and, with the commencement f the new year, will probably be better established, in consequence of mordants takin stock at present. Not much doing in the werehouses. SUN, BIRTHS IN THE WEEK.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Jon. 1. (Before Mr. Commissioner FoNBLANoNE.) IN RE STEMIEN CLIARLES LAKEMAN. This bankrupt had been in partnership with General Theodore De Iturnigny, aid-de-camp to the late Lo , lis Philippe, as commission agents, carrying on business in 'St. Mildred's-court. The facts of the case have been fully detailed in our journal upon more than one occasion. To- day the bankrupt applied for his certificate. Mr. Linklater appeared to oppose; Mr. Lawrance supported the bankrupt. His HoNoua granted the certificate as of the second class, with a condition that the bankrupt should not go out of the jurisdiction of the court without leave of the Court for the space of twelve months.—Granted accordingly. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2, 18b1 ante. Mr. Barry has, we were informed, given strict injunctions to the workmen not to admit strangers until the chambers are completely finished; but the curious in such matters manage, notwithstanding, to have a peep at the preparations which are being executed. In the course of a couple of months it is expected that most of the committee•rooms of the Lords, the library of the Commons, and the Conference-room, will be finished. There are two doors leading into the Conference-room, the one being fur the entrance of the Lords and the other for the Commons; and during the conference t!..eir Lordships stand on one side and the Commons on the other side of the room. In a few days additional hands are to be engaged in preparing the House of Lords and the chambers attached to it, for the opening of Parlia ment, which is expected to be done by her Majesty in person.

The bankrupt was described as of Lombard-street Chambers, Clement's-lane, dealer in railway and other shares and public securities, commission agent, trader, dealer and chapman. He now applied for his certificate. _ _ . The balance-sheet, extending from July, 1845, to Oztob?r, 1850, showed these results :—To creditors unsecured, 58,8051.; secured, 2,688/.; 965/. ; profits on shares, 17.5621. ; on commission, 1,526/. ; capital, July 1, 1845, 11 068/. By good debts, 2/ ; doubtful. 41. 175.; bad, 8991.; property held by creditors, 2,383/. ; trade expenses, 3,142/. ; interest, 5001.; law costs, 5551.; bous2 and personal ditto, 4,0951.; total loss on shares, 60,4781.; on con sols, 1,5701.; railway circular, 1561. It appeared from the report of the official assignee that the item of capital was borne out by the original entries in the bankrupt's books; and that between the Ist of July, 1845, and the November following, in consequence of a panic in the share market, he sus tained a series of losses, amounting in the total to 78,0401. 2s. 7d.; and notwithstanding this loss (which left him behindhand 66,9721. Os. 43.) he con- tinned trading up to the date of the petition (Oct. 21, 1850), having made in the meantime 17,5621. gross profits. There were no assets in this estate, except ing the 21. standing to his account in the Bank of England. He bad endeavoured to pay his creditors sixpence in the pound, and to enable him to do so he raised 725/. on his furniture, &c. There would be many questions arise, continued the official assignee, if his creditors attempted to prove, the debts arising almost wholly out of bargains in railway shares and the British funds. Only one of his creditors has at present proved. Mr. LAWRANCE applied for the bankrupt's certifi cate, which was granted as of the second class. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. James Thomas Newland, a respectable-looking youth, about 16 years of age, was placed at the bar before Alderman Finnis, charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Wellington Williams, warehouseman, of 34, Gutter-lane, and Henry Het, an old clothes salesman, and Lewis Levy, both members of the Jewish fraternity, were charged with being the re ceivers of the missing stolen property. It will be recollected that on Monday afternoon the officer Webb examined a quantity of woollen and linen goods that had been left at a tobacconist's shop, in St. Martin's-le-Grand, and suspecting that they were stolen, he marked them, and when the prisoner Newland called for them, he watched him to Wide gate-street, and there lost sight of him. The follow ing morning Newland was apprehended in Old 'Change, and examined at this court on Tuesday, when he expressed great contrition for his conduct, and said that he had been led astray by some Jews. The case was remanded till the end of the week, in consequence of Newland volunteering to confess all he knew about the robbery, and the parties who had received the property. The following is the evidence taken on oath : Henry Webb stated—From information I received last night (Tuesday), I applied to the Aldermen of this court for an order to bring up Newland from the Compter this (yesterday) morning at half-past eight o'clock. I went with Newland to Gutter-lane early in the morning, and soon heard the cry of " Old clo, old clo.' Newland, directly he heard the voice said, " That is the man I sold the goods to that I took from my master's warehouse. I know his voice." My bro ther officer, Wardle, had been watching at the end of Gutter-lane, and I was with the prisoner about the middle. Newland, as soon as he saw the man whose voice he had previously recognised, pointed him out to me as the party I was in search of. It was the pri soner Hart. I went up to him, and spoke to him ; and Hart directly stopped me, and asked me in a con fidential tone if I had " any old clo' to shell:: I told him I had not. He then asked me if I had got any thing, as he was not particular what it was. I told him I had. He asked me what it was, and I told him it was an order to arrest him. He looked very much astonished, and I then told him that I was an officer, and that I would apprehend him on the charge of receiving stolen property. Hart then said, " I know nothing about it—l am an honest man." I then told him I should be obliged to take him to the station house. He said, " Very well, I will go with you." He had his collecting bag with him, but had nothing in it. At the station he was searched, but there was only a halfpenny, a tobacco•box, and a cigar-case uir - 1 up George Wardle said—l searched Hart's lodging house at 23, Tenter-ground, Goodman's.fields ' and found these nine pawnbroker's duplicates, relating principally to articles of wearing apparel. This morn ing Levy was pointed out to me by Newland as an accomplice of Hirt, having seen them in company together on different occasions. I asked Levy to come into the gaoler's room, and then called New land up again, and he selected Levy from the midst of about twenty persons, as the party he had seen with Hirt. I then told Levy the charge against him, and took him into custody. Alderman FINNIS (addressing the prisoner Newland) —I understand that it is your wish to make some state ment ; is that the fact ? Newland—lt is, your Worship. Alderman FINNIS—And is it perfectly voluntary on your part? Newland—Quite so, Sir. Alderman FlNNis—Then I will hear anything you have to say ; but it must be given on oath, or it can not be taken as evidence against the other two pri soners. Newland—l am aware of that, and therefore will not offer any objection. The prisoner Newland was then taken from the bar and pieced in the witness-box, when the follow ing was disclosed : James Thomas Newland—l was porter to Mr. Wellington Williams, of 34, Gutter-lane. I was in his employment about four or five months. I first became acquainted with the prisoner Hart about two months ago. I had an old jacket for sale. I saw Hart in Gutter-lane about half-past eight o'clock one morning, and sold him the jacket. He asked me whew I worked, and I told him. He then asked me what my master dealt in, and I told him ladies' collars, gentlemen's shirts and fronts, Indies' habits, and children's made-up dresses. He then asked me if I ever had any soiled collars that I could sell him. I told him I had not. He said, "Perhaps you can get some other things if you can't get collars ?" I told him I could get things, but that I would not do it. He then said, "If you get anything I'll take it from you and give you a better price than any one else." He then left me. I saw him two or three mornings after that, and he repeatedly asked me if I had anything I could sell him. I saw him several times after, and he asked me again if I had anything for him. I then told him I would bring him something, end asked him where I should take it to. He told me to meet him under an archway in Widegate-street. I told him I did not know where that was. He then said, " meet me then in Artillery-lane; you know where that is." I went down to Artillery-lane, and met Hart at a beer-shop. That was about six weeks ago. It was on a Monday or Tuesday, I cannot be certain which day. I took some children's dresses with me, and after meeting him I took them into the beer-shop with me, and Hart followed me in. " He said, " What have you got there ?" I told him tthey were children's dresses. I believe I bad about six or eight. Ido not remember the exact number. He said, " What's the use of these; why don't you bring more ? " He told me to follow him, and I went with him down to the archway in Widegate-stree. I carried the dresses. He asked me how much I wanted for them, and what number the parcel contained. I told him I did not know exactly how many there were. He then said, " Wait here a moment. I'll take them and show them to my mistress? " Hart then took the dresses away with him, and in about five minutes returned with them. He said, " I shall not be able to sell them, they will excite suspicion, I'll bring them up to morrow in the evening, and you must pawn them." I told him I would rather take them back and put them into stock again. He then said, " You must pawn them, and give me half the money, or I'll send you across the water." I left him then, but did not get the goerls back. I met him the folly wing even ing at the corner of Jesiin-street, in Itedcrass-street. He said, "I have got two of them with me, which you must pawn." I told him I would not do it. He said, " There is only one step between you and a prison." I then asked him where I was to pawn them. He told me there was a shop close handy. I took the two dresses into a pawn broker's in Redcross-street, while Hart remained out side. He told me to pawn them in the name of " Leiston," and to ask the pawnbroker to put " Mrs." before the name. I pawned them for five shillings, and gave the ticket and half the money to Hart. I met him again a few nights afterward. I pawned the rest of the dresses, Hart waiting outside, as be fore. I pledged them for twelve shillings, and gave Hart the ticket and half the money. He tore up the ticket, and said " It's all safe now." I saw him a short time after that in Gutter-lane, early in the morning. He asked me if I could bring him any- thing else. He also asked me if I could bring him some lace, and added, " Lion% care what it is, I'll buy it." I told him I could not bring him anymore, and I wished that I could undo what I had already unfortunately done. Ile said " You're a - fool. I have young men like you who sell me as much as two or three pounds worth per week." I told him I would come down to the archway the same evening. He said Bring 51. or 6/. worth with you." I did not go do .vn that evening, and the next morning he was watching for me at my master's doorway, in Gutter-lane. He asked me if I could not bring something down to him that evening. I told him it was a long distance out of my way to go to the archway in Widegate-street, and he then told me I could meet him at the corner of Jewin-street. I went there that evening, but did not take anything. Ile had a small pasteboard box under his arm, and he asked in , 2 if I would pawn the contents for him. I s , ,id I would not. He then offend me 24. if I would do it, but I refused. He did not tell me then what the box contained. Hart then said, " If you don't like to do it I'll expose you, for you are nicely in my hand,.." Upon this I agreed to pawn it, and he told me it was a cloak and hood, and that I was to get ten shillings on it. I said, "I don't like to pawn this," and Hart said, "You had better do it—it comes from Janes Welch and Sons, and there is a young man there who is a porter, and he sells me a great many things, and you might do the same." He then said, I often have a few things from Neville's." Finding I was still reluctant to do as he wished, he said, " You have got no spirit in you. You can do as you like—either pawn the cloak or I'll split upon you." I then took the cloak and hood and pawned them at the same shop as the children's dresses. Hart said I ought to get 123. for them, but I must get 10i. I asked 123., but the pawnbroker would not advance more than ss. I came out and told Hart, and he said that I must take that. I accordingly pledged the articles, leaving Hart outside, When I came out I gave him the ticket and the whole of the money. The pawnbroker did not ask me any questions as to where I got the cloak from. Hart told me to pledge it in the same name as before— " Leiston." I left him then, and he said " I'll see you in the morning." I saw him on the following morning as he had promised, about half-past eight, in Gutter-lane. He asked me if I could bring him any thing down the same evening, and I told him I could not. Ha repeated the same questions several morn ings after, but I would not take him anything at that time. On last Friday week he met me again, and: pressed me to bring him something from my maste rs warehouse. I told him I was going to leave my si tuation on the Saturday week following. He then said, " Yon have got plenty of time, you could get 201. worth if you liked. You run the same risk in getting a shilling as you do in getting a pound's worth. I told him I would bring him something before I left. I saw him again on the following Wednesday in Gutter-lane, and promised to meet him in the even ing early. I did not go to meet him on the Thursday evening, but saw him the next morning at the door of my master's warehouse. I said I would meet him on Satur day evening, but did not go. Oa the Monday morn ing as I was going to the warehouse, I met Hart in Goldsmith-street. I promised to meet him under the archway in Widegate-street, at three o'clock that afternoon. I kept the appointment, and saw Hart about half-way down the street. He beckoned to me and I followed him into a public-house, and we both entered the parlour. There was a strange man sit ting there, whom I believe to have been the prisoner Levy. Hart said something to him, and then took him outside, and in a very few minutes Hart came into the parlour again, and told me that Levy would keep watch outside the door. Hart asked me what I had in the bag I had brought with me ? I told him collars, shirt .fronts, and habits. I had scarcely finished speaking when I heard a whistle, which I believe proceeded from Levy outside the door. Hart immediately seized the bag and threw it under one of the benches that form the seats in the parlour, and went out to join Levy. As he was leaving the room he said, " I shall be back in five minutes, don't go away." He came back in about ten minutes, in company with Levy and an other man, who remained outside the door to keep watch, while Hirt came into the parlour. He again asked me what I had brought in the bag. He looked at the articles, and said he would give me 1/. for them. I said I would not take less than 11.55. Hart then said, " You must bring more this evening, this lot is of no use." lie did not give me the 11. ss. He said, " I shall not pay you for these, until you bring me a good many more down to-night." He then put his hand in his pocket, and drew out a hand ful of gold, and showed me. There was from 151. to 201. He said, " You see I have plenty of money." I told him I would not leave the goods unless he paid me for them. He said, "I will not pay you unless you promise to bring down some more this evening." I promised to meet him accordingly, at eight o'clock. He then came outside the public-house with me, leaving the bag and contents in the parlour, and gave me 11. and 34. in silver, and said he would give me the other two in the evening. I asked him why he could not give me the 24. at once, as he could change a sovereign if he had no more silver. He said it would look suspicious to change a sovereign at the bar, but offered me a pawn broker's duplicate to hold as a security for the payment of the money. lie then gave me the duplicate of the cloak and hood. I promised to meet him again in the evening, but did not do so. I went into a public-house in Leman-street, Goodman's fields, and tried to change one of the shillings ; the barman thought it looked rather dull, and tried it in the counterfeit detector, and returned me the shilling as a bad one. I came out and walked up White chapel, and tried the other two shillings that Hart had given me. They were both so bad that I easily broke them in two pieces in my mouth. I threw them away on finding them bad. I went into a pie-shop, near the City Foundling Hospital, and tried to change the sovereign I had received from Hart, but the young woman in the shep said it was a very doubtful coin, and refused to take it. I then went to Hyde-park gardens, where I met a friend. I showed him the sovereign, and he advised me to try to pass it, and then I should soon find out whether it was good or not. I went into a butter-shop for that purpose, and the shopkeeper having tested the sovereign, said it was a genuine piece of gold, but that it had been well sweated. He gave me change, and deducted Bd. to allow for the light weight. At the time I came out of the public-house with Hart, Levy and the other man were standing at the door, but they went away directly we came out, and Mr. Hart, after paying me returned into the public .house to look after the goods he had left in the parlour lying on the baga telle-board. The piece of the canvass produced, and marked "W. W.," and with the name of " Griffin" upon it, is a part of the bag that I cut off in the tobacconist's shop in St. Martin's-le. Grand, because Hart told me to put them in a bag, but to be very careful that there was no mark upon it. I did not know what quantity of goods there was in the bag when I sold them to Hart. There is a long narrow passage leading through the public-house into some back premises. When I heard the whistle I heard Hart running along this passage, directly he left the room, and had communicated with Levy, who was keeping watch. During the whole of the time the bag with the goods was not removed from the par lour, and when I was about to leave, Hart said " Come outside, and I'll pay you for those things." I have no more to say, except that I did not remain in the house that Webb watched me into more than A minute. I only stayed to drink a glass of ale. Cross-examined by the prisoner Levy—l have seen Levy on two occasions, and both times in company with Hart. During the whole of this statement Hart was con stantly interrupting the witness, by asserting his in nocence in every manner he could devise, and won dering how such a youth could swear away his (Hart's) life. Levy said he had been in the employ of Mr. Law rence Levy for the last eight years, and he was in a position to prove that he was not in company with Hart at all on Monday. Alderman FINNIS—If you can prove that it will tend materially to clear you from this charge. Hart said he knew no more of the prisoner New land, who had just given evidence against him, or the charge, than the child unborn ; and he thought it very hard that a lad should have the power to swear away the life of an innocent and an honest man. Alderman FINNIS—I consider the evidence of such a weighty character, that lam induced to remand this case for a few days, for further inquiry ; but I will allow Levy the whole of the afternoon to pro duce some persons who may be capable of proving that he was not with Hart on Monday last. If what he has asserted with respect to the mistaken identity of himself can be substantiated by any member of his employer's establishment, there will be no occa sion to detain him in custody on the present charge. No ono appearing to establish the alibi Levy set up, all three prisoners were accordingly remanded. William I3all, who had Lis glass ship broken, ac knowledged with thanks the receipt of 10s. from the Hon. Miss IL Rice, of Barrington Park. CLERKENW ELL. _ Mr. Samuel Kendall, dentist, Brunswick-square, was charged by Elizabeth Reid, his servant, an in teresting-looking young woman, eighteen years of age, with having violated her. The case excited considerable interest, and the court was crowded to excess by the friends of the pri soner, &c. Mr. Humphries, the solicitor, attended on the part of the prisoner. The prosecutrix, who was allowed a seat, hav ing been sworn, said that she entered the ser vice of the prisoner in October last, as servant of all•work. On Friday morning last, about eleven o'clock, her mistress left home, she (witness) remaining with the prisoner's niece in the kitchen. The prisoner Ivo in the upper pert of the house, In 1 about five minutes after her mistress had left witness heard the prisoner call " Henrietta," his niece, when she (witness) told him that she had gone out; and he then called h.rr to come up stairs. She went up stairs to her mistress's bed-room to make the bed, and whilst doing so, the prisoner entered the apartment, and locked and bolted the door, on which h.i came up to her smiling, and placing one hand across her legs, a❑d the other across her back, he tried to get her on ........ ...... , - the bed. V She struggled and resisted him, and she was too strong for him, although be exerted all his means, but he put his foot between her feet, threw her down on the floor, and he fell upon her. She still resisted and endeavoured to get away from him, but he effected his purpose. She here detailed particulars which are unfit for publication. She felt faint and cold, and nearly lost her senses. She cried, when the prisoner came towards her smiling. She turned her back upon him, on which he kissed her. When he was going out of the room, she told him that she would leave her situation. She went to her room, — sat down, and cried. She felt very weak, and on going down stairs, she met the prisoner near the dining-room, when he again kissed her, and she went to the kitchen. Her mistress shortly afterwards returned home, but she said nothing to her of what had taken place, as she (wit ness) intended to leave on the Saturday night, and. to inform Mrs. Henson, her only friend in London, with whom she now lodged. She did not communicate the affair to the prisoner's niece, who was 27 years of age. Witness remained in the house at the request of the niece until Sunday, when she lefr, and informed Mrs. Henson of what had taken place. By Mr. TYRWHITT—Had lived as servant at the Brunswick Hotel, Hanover-square. Went to the prisoner's service from the Brunswick. Had also lived at Doney' Hotel, 15, Sherrard-street, Golden-square, and at a coffee-shop in Howland-street, Fitzroy square. Mrs. Henson advised her to inform Mrs. Rendall, who subsequently had an interview with the prisoner at his house in Brunswick-square, when he bounced and swore, called his wife, and said they came to extort money from him, under a threat that he had seduced witness. He attempted to strike her, but was prevented by Mrs. Rendall, who was very much excited, and said to witness, " If you have any regard for your mistress, say nothing about it." On Tuesday she applied at this court, when she was referred to the police, and she gave the prisoner into custody. By Mr. Jarman—She went out as usual on the day of the alleged offence. She once charged Mr. Williams, of Albert-row, Regent's-park, with whom she had lived as servant, at Marylebone Police-court, with having kissed ber. The warrant was discharged on payment of costs. She lived with him three days. Mr. Jarman—Do you not recollect pushing against Mr. Grillion, of the Coburg Hotel, in an indecent manner ? Witness—Oh ! dear no, is it at all likely ? Mrs. Sarah Henson, of No. 44, North- street, Man chester-square, confirmed in part the testimony of the prosecutrix. Mr. William Denny Robertson, resident house sur geon of the Royal Free Hospital, gave evidence as to the state of the prosecutrix. It was evident that the act had been committed. Mr. Jarman here said there was not sufficient evi dence to send his client for trial. Mr. TYRWHITT said he had made up his mind to send the case before a jury, but would take consider able hail for the prisoner's appearance at this court on a future day. Mr. Jarman—You will not commit him on the capital charge, I suppose ? Mr. TYRWHlTT—Decidedly so, what else? The surgeon's evidence, and other circumstances, warrant the course. I will take responsible hail for his ap pearance, two sureties in 2001. each, and himself in double that amount. If the girl had made her • complaint sooner, I would not accept bail at all, but send him at once for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A country girl of considerable personal attractions presented the following letter to the sitting magis• trate, Mr. Hardwick : " Sir,—l take the liberty of addressing you as a ma gistrate and a gentleman, to inform you of my painful si tuation, and to implore your protection, and any assist ance it may be in your power to afford me, until I am able to procure some situation to support myself by ho nest means. On the 15th November I was induced to leave my father's house (Mr. Simmons, late clerk in the goods department, Derby Railway Station) with a young Spaniard, to whom I have been known for twelve years, he promising to marry me on my arrival in London. I fondly and foolishly relied on his honour, and after living with him three days, he promised to marry me every day. He left me without any intimation, and I have never seen him since. I need hardly add, left me al most penniless—for all I had was 15s. 6d , on which, and on the product of the sale of my clothes, I have conti nued to live ever since. lam anxious to redeem my lost character and honour as far as I can. I have written to my father, but have never had an answer. I have brought this letter myself, and wait the honour of seeing you, if it should be your pleasure, and to answer what questions you may think proper to ask me.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your humble servant, " M. A. Simmons." Mr. HA.R.DWICK asked the young woman if the let ter was her own writing ?—The applicant replied it was. She had been induced to take this step from having seen in the papers that assistance was occa sionally given to persons in her unfortunate position. To questions the applicant replied, that the young gentleman with whom she had come to town, was in the Roman Catholic College at Derby, kept by an Irish Roman Catholic priest named Sing. She lived at Derby with her friends, and this afforded the young gentleman an opportunity of keeping up the acquaint ance with her. She was most anxious to get some situation abroad, if possible, in order to hide her shame and to retrieve her character. At present, however, she was wholly destitute of the means of even paying for a night's lodging. Mr. HARDWICK at first thought of sending the young woman to the House of Charity, in Rose-street, for a short time; but afterwards, at the applicant's request, consented to give the means of sending her to Derby, where she had relatione living. The applicant expressed herself very grateful for this seasonable assistance, and left the court in charge of an officer to make the requisite arrangements. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.
