ei 1 41 leiDlatott \ DOE MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN FRANCE. SPIRIT OF THE PARISIAN PRESS. The Assemblie Nationale sa7s : "When M. Louis Napoleon was placed at the head of the Executive Government, the Monarchical party, in its two shades of opinion, afforded him honest sup port and powerful assistance. It was necessary to combat the revolution, to drive it back, and to wrest st society from its fatal e mbraces ; and all, Legitim fend Orleanists, lent their efforts. But it happened that this co-operation was singularly understood by the President of the Republic. He appeared to be- Here and to hope that those who souve gave it would et bdi ca te in his hands their past, nt rs, their ' their rights , and their cause. That was de cei ring himself strangely. The Monarchical parties cannot have any other idea, any other object than the re-esteblishment of a veritable monarchy. They will no make themselves the instrument of an Em pire, or of a Consulate for life. They will not abdi cate. Is it because he has been deceived in this hope, that the Pre sident of the Republic now de mands forces from the revolutionary party ? Already may the reception his a dvances have met with cause biw to refl-ct. The more he e ngages in this fatal P th the more his d in isappointments will lf up to ome eneleittered. It is thus that, giving hi an exclusively pers onal ambition, he has become isolated, and lessened in importance. If he had shown himself impassible and disinterested in the midst of parties, he would perhaps have been pressed to keep a little longer an impartial and moderating power. The President has not had this prudence. There is henceforth between him and the majority, not only distrust, but a question of honour and dignity. This new scission has rendered the ground more unsafe. We cannot in these agitated times guarantee the future, but whatever may hap pen, t h e majority will prove its existence by re maining the courageous guardian of order, of the boys, and of society. The gravity of circumstances a s extreme ; in some parts anarchy has already com mitted acts of savage fury; the faults of the Execu tive Government have caused trouble and disquietude in public opinion. Bat the evil would be still greater ; it would be irreparable if we could not say, with reason, and in spite of the sophisms by which it is endeavoured to misrepresent facts, that there is a majority, and that it will know how to give proof of energy and power." The 1) gat: says :—" The - Ministerial crisis has ad vanced but little, but we cannot say that it has gone back. A journal of the Left had announced that M. Billeult has definitively failed in the mission which he bad received to form a Cabinet. According to reports, which were afterwards in circulation, that journal was ill-informed; M. Billault continued his measures, s t ied had not lost all hopes of success. Now, there is Bo longer any talk of M. Billault, who, it is said, has already set off on his return to Nantes, and the Dames of General Le Pays de Bourjolly as Minister of Foreign Affairs ; General Leroy de St. Arnault as Miedster of War • M. Giraud (d'Angers) as Minister of thy, Interior ; 115. Bineau as Minister of Finances ; M. Ducos as Minister of the Marine ; an d of M. Hippolyte Fortoul as Minister of Public Instruction, Lave been brought forward. We confine ourselves to mentioning these reports under all reserve. The only thing which can be positively stated is, that up to the present time nothing has been definitively decided on, and that apparently nothing will be decided on until the President of the Republic shall have completed the drawing up of his Message. The public waits for the denouement of the crisis with a calmness which is not the least singular trait of the present state of affairs. At the Salle des Conf6rences, as at the Bourse, the petysiognoney is the same ; every one seems agreed to slicew the President of the Republic to be at his ease. It is no the country, it is not the Assembly, it is not the Permanent Committee, which has created the present crisis; is: is not parliamentary exigencies and annoyances which have driven the President into the strait in which he is so painfully placed. It is from his own full and free will that M. Louis Napoleon undertakes to solve such a difficult problem as that of repealing the law of May 31 without openly breaking with the majority, who regard that law as the basis and the corner stone of its policy. It la, therefore, for M. Louis Bonaparte alone to seek an issue from this strait. In remaining an impassable and cool spectator, the country understand and keeps its character. When we say that the problem is difficult, we forget that other writers have found the means of simplifying it. To set aside the obstacle which the resolution of the President is to meet with in the majority of the Assembly, these writers, who are known to be fertile in expedients, have suggested the plan of suppressing the majority. There is no longer a majority. This expression gets rid of the difficulty. Such a puerile remark does not ,merit to be seriously discussed. We are aware that the Parliamentary majority is composed of several pas ties, which, on a capital but reserved question, have contrary views and hopes and engagements ; we know that amoreest it Legitimists, and Orleati iste, Fusionists. But whet we also know is, that beyond these reseread questions, on all others which affect the general safety, and which interest in common the Lfrett nqrry of order, the majority has never been tivi 'ed. What we have not forgotten is, that it gave 433 vor,,s to :11;4 law of May 31, which it i , now pro po ieri to r,,.0ea1. We, for our parts, hope that the majority will not show itself less uoitei in the defence and maintene.nee of that law than it was sixteen months a g o in adopting it. Do those who say that there is no longer a majority understand themselves what they say? For, in fact, if there be not a majority to de fend the law of May 31, how can there be one for its repeal ? This is an enigma." On the other side, M. de Girardin in the Presse says— " On the 30th May, 1850, 433 representatives of the people voted for the suppression of universal suf . - frage. On the 19th July, 1851, 446 representatives voted fir the revision of the Constitution. Such is the double knot of a situation which cannot he untied but by obtaining from those who voted for the law of May 31 to vote against it, and that those who voted against the revision should vote for it. If the 278 representatives who voted on the 19th July, 1851, voted against the revision of the Constitution persist in that vote, the 433 representa tivas who voted on the 30th of May, 1851, fur the suppression of universal suffrage, will also persist in voting fer it. The 433 will justify their refusal of re-establishing universal suffrage by the refusal of the 278 to vote the revision of the Constitution. The 278, in their turn, will justify their refusal to vote the revision of the Constitution by the refusal of the 433 to vote the re-establishment of universal suf frage. Dues not the evidence of the state of things and the imminence of this danger strike every eye that is not blinded by party spirit ? The 433 per sisted in the feeling which on the 30th of May, 1850, made them vote the suppression of universal suf frage! the 279, persisted in the opinion which made them, on the 19,h of July, 1851, vote the rejection of the revision, to what will this pertinacity and this emulation in blindness lead ? They lead, I admit, to maintain the non-eligibility of the actual holder of the presidency, but on one fstal condition—the con dition of civil war. Who can foresee what will be the result of this civil war ? What I know is that, either the traditional monarchy, or the constitutional thinonarchy, or th e consu l a t e , o r the empire, have only c i hance, of retur n . L e t those, therefore, who I.gicady push forward to this civil war accept the political responsibility of it before thd civilised world and before history I" We read in the Pays : °' There is one consideration which should induce the President of the Republic not theot o o f s r e he r p p se a a r la mee t ef theth e revision of the Constitution fromss, jao; of 31st May, in the drawing u and in the composition of his new Ministry. The i co nsideration is this — lt may be balieved prcpcsidg the pur e a n d simple re-establishment ofn universal suffrage, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte hopes and excites a coup- d'etat of the People b y a move ment of gratitude, or by the glare of popularity. B ut if at. the same time he proposes the revision, it is not only his re-election which he endeavours to secure, but, before all, the will of France, which he wishes to consult, and the Government which he wishes to strengthen and consolidate. How much better will his sit ua ti on b e before the Assembly with this object of public safety. It will not be a personal interest which will he at stake, but a social one.

THE SUN, HOLLAND. A letter from Amsterdam, lgth, states that a general meeting of the Royal Institute had been held, and an a ddress voted to the King, praying him to dissolve that body. The address is drawn up in the most re spectful terms, and stated that the grounds of the ap plication are, that the sum of 10,000 fl. (9.0,000 fr.) a year allowed by the State to the Institute is in sufficient to cover its most indispensable expenses, and that all its applications for an increase to the grant have been ineffectual. This step on the part of the first scientific body of the kingdom had caused a very profound sensation. THE LADY OF MANY WILLS. A lady, of considerable beauty and still young, died a few weeks ago, says the Constitutionnel, at the Batignolles. As she had lived alone, the juge de paix of the district took possession of her furni ture and her effects on behalf of the heirs. Amongst other things was a rather large collection of richly bound books. On opening one of the volumes, the uge de paix found a will : in a second there was a second will, and in nearly all the others there were others. Each of these wills was of a different date, These each constituted a different person universal legatee. These legatees were all young men—officers of the army, advocates, shopmen, artists, actors, students, architects, physicians—in short of every profession, and of almost every class of society. Enquiries having been instituted, it was ascertained that the lady had married eight or ten years before, but, being of a romantic disposition, had soon vio lated her fidelity to her husband, and having aban doned him, bad ,indulged openly is intrigues with every young man who struck her fancy. Her re lations with each were, however , of short duration, owing to the fickleness of her disposition ; but having, it appears, a sort of monomania for making wills, she regularly drew up one in favour of every new lover. Each will thu s set aside that which preceded it; but the last of all was valid. The juge de paix caused the person named in this last one to be sought for, and he turned out to be a young artist without fortune. He was warmly congratulated on his good luck, and ca lculated on being placed in com fortable circumstances for life—the lady having an income of 30,000 f. a year. But a few days ago the husband presented himself, and destroyed all the ar tist's hopes by producing his marriage contract, which established him inheritor of all his wife might leave at her death.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The total number of deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week ending last Satur day was 981. They exhibit a small increase on those of the preceding week, when the amount was 953. Taking for comparison corresponding weeks of the ten years 1841-50, it appears that the average was 906 ; but if this average be raised in proportion to the increase of persons now living in London, it be comes 997, which differs not much from last week's mortality. Last week 425 children died under 15 years of age, 367 persons who had reached 15 years, but had not attained to GO, and 184 who were of 60 years and upwards. The table of fatal causes shows that 229 persons, 15S of whom were children, were carried off by one or other of the twenty-one diseases that are classed as " epidemic." These diseases in the aggregate do not at present produce a mortality equal to the aver age of corresponding weeks ; but under particular heads, namely typhus and diarrhces, the numbers ex ceed the usual amount at this season. Typhus was fatal in 67 cases last week (the average being 53), and this disease appears to be on the increase. In the Church sub-district of Bethnal -green three deaths from typhus occurred on the 11th, 12th, and 15th October, at the respective ages of 14, 16, and 23 years ; the first in Cumberland-place, the second in North-street, and the third in Trafalgar-place. Mr. Briggs, the registrar, reports that the occupiers in these loca lities complain of the bad state of the drains. Scarlatina in this return numbers 43 cases, while the corrected average of corresponding weeks is 58. Though the mortality, as collected over the whole metropolis, is not remarkable, the complaint has fallen severely on particular families. At 3, Lower Chapman-street, in St. George in the East, the daughter of a shoemaker died at the age of eight months from " exhaustion consequent on scarlatina (12 days)." This (says Mr. Cbatwood) is the second child that has died in one family within 9 days. The father attributes the illness of both to noxious effluvia arising from an uncovered cesspool in the yard of the house. In Walworth, at Laurel Cottage, Hill street, on the 9th and 13th Oct., two daughters of a a musician,fte thatr day ag s. ed m r r es T pectively_ 18and3years, died of scarlatina, i4fou r t m he em fo b rm . er after ` , l days' illness, the latter disease since the a e n n e d r d s 3 o o d f urf September, e the pa be r, registrar, th e first mentionstwo seve rally I house iiomu siiey o o, n fw t thhoe-lrhs rooms," co .0 nms been suffering from it, this family have died of this of October. Four others have si .s, t t ., e, but c_llno f are l now recovering. The the 2 persons, occupy a small Portland-street, the sonof same sub-district;at 26, ajourneyrnan brass-finisher, aged 3 years, died of 4 , scarlatina the second death in the family from days)." Thi s i s the same corn. within 6 days, one plaint,having occurred on the 9th, and the second on the 15 th October. Also in IVal worth, at 7, Heri - zocl-Ilicken-la ne , two sons of a warehouseman, aged respectively 3 and 9 years, di e d, the former of "scarlatina maligns (7 days), the latter of " scarlatina (1 montl,), dropsy (7 days)." Of five children in this; family the two now mentioned died on the 12th and 15th October, two are convales cent, and one is in a doubtful condition. Besides the above, Mr. Turner in this weekly return reports three deaths from scarlatina in varieua streets, and adds that the di=ease is very prevalent throughout the whole of his district. Fifteen deaths, only one of which was that of an adult, were registered last week as caused by small pox. Two cases in which it is stated that vaccina lon had b een ' child a 7 previ ously performed, occurre d to a reference to months and a man aged 30 years. With town, and t i case which proved fatal in Camden without effect, it vaccination had been performed ila the fauailr. Roll states that two other chil drens! had been sucoessfully vaccinat4d WE DNESDAY and escaped the contagion. An infant is also regis tered this week who died of chicken-pox. Diarrhoea, which numbers 42 deaths, continues to decline, though it is still rather more fatal than usual for this late period of the year. lhe following case also occurred on the 12th October, at 3, Port-place, St. Peter, Walworth :—A journeyman baker , aged 43 years, " choleric disease of stomach and bowels (24 hours), death by asthenia." Phthisis or consumption has been rather fatal dur ing the week, the deaths resulting from it amounting. to 138. This is a greater number than in any cor responding week of seven previous years Fifteen deaths are ascribed to disease of the liver, in four of which cases the fatal complaint is specified as " cirrhosis." The four persons who died of cirrhosis were females. In Hackney, on the 15th October, the daughter of a carpenter, aged two years, died from " inflammation of the intestines, caused by swallowing plum and cherry stones." The following selections are made from the registrars' reports : At 20, Gray's Inn-lane, on the 15th of October, the son of a tailor, aged 2 years, died of " diarrhoea and ulcerated bowels for 9 months." Mr. Holmes adds that " this is about the worst part of Gray's Inn lane : some of the houses are in a filthy state." In Camberwell, at 4, Elizabeth-place, Wyndham road, on the 15th of October, the widow of a porter, aged 45 years, died of " disease of the heart and hypertrophy.i' Mr. Searle states that " this is the widow of Anthony Fawcett, who, on the 30th ult., murdered two of his children, and afterwards corn mitted suicide, being at the time in a state of in sanity."

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge.) Margaret Carey, 24, was indicted for stealing, in the dwelling-house of Henry Lambert, a gold watch, value 131., and six sovereigns, his property and moneys. The prosecutor was a publican, keeping the Cale donian Arms, Caledonian-road ; and about a fort night ago the prisoner entered his service as a maid of all work. It was his custom to keep money in a cash-box, which was deposited in an iron safe in his bed-room, to which there were two keys, one of which he kept himself, and the other was kept by Mrs. Lambert, in a dressing-ease in the bed-room. On Tuesday last, whilst the prisoner was employed scour ing the bed-room, the prosecutor went to the safe, and at that time there were 46 sovereigns in it, but when he went to it again some short time afterwards, he found that six sovereigns had been abstracted. Suspecting the prisoner, and knowing that she had no money when she entered his employ, he examined a bundle belonging to her, and in the pocket of a gown he found three sovereigns, one of which he recognized, by a peculiar mark, as one he had put in the cash-box on the preceding Saturday. Mrs. Lambert's key was found safe in the dressing. case. The prisoner, when accused, was excessively insolent, and a police man was called in and directed to take her into cus tody. The prisoner then said she would not go with out an old petticoat which was in the hack kitchen or washhouse ; but that was disregarded, and she was conveyed to the station-house. Afterwards, on a fur ther examination of the safe, a gold watch was missed, and after a search it was found wrapped up in the petticoat which the prisoner had been so desirous of possessing when she was apprehended, and which was found in the back washhouse, concealed under the sink. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sentenced her to nine months' imprisonment. In the case of Dvda/e, of Iloly well-street, who was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, for having in his possession, with intent to sell, obscene prints andit was submitted on his behalf that n stated on the face of the indictment, ando offenceh to consider whether it would tepublications,C ouwasrt t o 0 k time grant a case on the point, for the decision of the Court of Appeal. The Learned JUDGE now said that he had well matter, and his opinion was that the sufficient. He should, therefore, leave indictment considered the defendant to his writ of error, if his advisers thought it desirable that he should avail himself of it. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREE7'. A middle-aged man named Francis Siarbook, de• scribed as a fruiterer, in Burnett's-building, Bethnal green, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt charged with a criminal assault upon his servant Emma Allen, a girl twelve years of age. The complainant stated that she bad been for a con siderable period in the service of the prisoner, who was a married man with a family of three children. The prisoner had never exhibited any impropriety in his conduct towards her until the evening of Friday se'nnight,lwhen.he called her into the bed-room during the temporary absence of his wife, and without utter ing a word, caught hold of her and proceeded to acts of the grossest description. She used her utmost efforts to escape from him, and screamed loudly for assistance, but the only persons in the house at the time were his own children, whom she had just put to bed, and he succeeded in perpetrat ing the outrage complained of. She had been ever since in extreme personal suffering from the effects of his infamous conduct towards her, but was too much ashamed to communicate the facts to any one until the preceding day, when her illness attracted the notice of her father, in answer to whose in quiries she made a full disclosure of the treatment to which she had been subjected, and he gave the prisoner into custody. Police-constable Middleton, 474 N, stated that on apprising the prisoner of the nature of the charge when he took him into custody the prisoner re marked that he had heard all about it, but that he was innocent of the charge, and was glad that he had an opportunity to clear himself of it. Mr. George Coward, the divisional surgeon of police, who attended the complainant, deposed to ap• pearances which went to satisfy him that extreme violence had been used towards her, and that a capital offence had been completed. The prisoner, who remained perfectly silent during the investigation, and offered no defence, was ordered to be remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Robert Mellish, manager, and James _Douglas, clerk, in the employ of the Patent Silvering Glass Company, Berners-street, Oxford .street, were brought up for further examination, charged with having fraudulently embezzled upwards of 3,0001., the property of the company. Mr. 13allantine and Mr. Wakeling were for the prosecution ; Mr. Lewis for the prisoners. The evidence in support of the charge was developed at several examinations, but, from its extreme length and obscurity, the charge was not very strongly made out. The evidence was mainly directed to prove that fur a length of time the prisoner Mellish, in con junction with Dougias, had committed frauds on the company by paying the workmen one amount of wages and charging another amount to the company, by paying the tradesmen's bills, and by charging higher amounts to the company by the aid of dupli cate hills. Mr. Frederick Hall Thompson said he was by pro fession a surgeon, but carried on the glass silvering business in Berners-street, in partnership with Mr. Varnish and others. In the autumn of 1849, the prisoner Mellish was engaged to manage the glass department. The prisoner, before being engaged, stipulated to have the engaging of all the workmen ; that they should be under his control ; and that he should not be unnecessarily interfered with in his de partment. The pay of the prisoner was to be six guineas a week. Before this engagement had taken place witness entered into partnership with Mr. i Varnish. About five months afterwards the prisoner Douglas was engaged as clerk, to assist the prisoner Mellish. His wages were to be from 2.55. to 30s. per week. In consequence of the large sums paid in the shape of wages and tradesmen's hills, he told Mellish the company appeared to b: led into great expenses without any visible return. The prisoner Mellish always answered, when so accosted, " Have patience." Had never heard of double bills from the tradesmen. Cross-examined—Mellish had the hiring of the workmen. The wages book was actually in Mel lish's desk. Had frequently seen Mellish with pencil in hand examining the wages book. At the end of the week Mellish and Douglas sent the wages book to the chief clerk, Dean. Mellish knew the exact amount of the wages bills. Prosecutor purchased the silvering patent. Mellish had also a patent, but not of the same description. Did not recollect there being a partnership agreement with Mellish. Did not destroy a partnership agreement with Mellish. Some premises were opened in Regent-street in the name of Mrs. Mellish, and goods were invoiced by the company to Mrs. Mellish. The premises were given up, but had a doubt whether the goods were returned. After the discovery was made that fraud had been committed, the books were examined, and 3,0001. was the amount up to the present time pre sumed to be deficient. Mellish had declared that he could prove, either night or day—they were his words—that the accounts were correct, and that vou chers could be produced. It had been discovered that as much as 100 per cent. had been repeatedly overcharged on the workmen's wages. Mr. Edward Varnish, Hyde Park-gardens Villas, in partnership with Mr. Thompson and others, was present when Mellish was engaged, and heard him stipulate to have the control and engagement of the workmen. Had frequently seen Mellish with the wages book checking the accounts. The book was usually kept on his desk. The prisoner Douglas was engaged as clerk at Mellish's recommendation. John Lay, glass engraver, 43, Stanhope-street, had been employed by Mellish to do work for Varnish and Co. Sent in a bill to Varnish and Co. for 14s. Was paid the amount by Mellish, and was told to make out a second bill. Did so, and receipted it at Mellish's request. That bill had been altered from 14s. to 11. 14s. Had given duplicate bills for work done on more than twenty occasions. _ _ • Benjamin Dean, chief clerk, proved that the bill for V. 14s. in thst book was entered in Douglas's handwriting. The prisoner Mellish must have seen the book, as the glass department was under his control. Thomas Harris, glass stainer, had done work for the firm. His bill on one occasion came to 14s. Douglas told him to make out a duplicate bill. Did so, and the duplicate bill had since been altered to 3/. 14s. ld. William Benson had sent in various bills to the company for work done. One bill, for Bs., had been altered to 2/. Bs.; another for 10s., to 2/. 10s.; ano ther for Bs., to 2/. Bs. ; and another 103., to 4/. 10s. Witness, at the request of the prisoner, usually re ceipted two bills. The above was the substance of the evidence placed on the depositions. The alleged embezzlement was found out in this accidental way :—The book in which the payments were entered was lying open, and one of the persons who had been paid, seeing a larger amount entered to him than he received, made the circumstance known, and an investigation was immediately entered upon. Douglas admitted the charge against him, and did not deny that he had made the alterations in the vouchers. This avowal, however, did not relieve Mellish from suspicion, as it was presumed he could not have been ignorant of the alterations in the books and the bills, as he had them constantly under his notice, and it was his duty to see they were correct. The prisoners were fully committed ; but, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, Mellish was admitted to bail. SOUTHWARK. Mary Reddington, a woman of the town, was placed at the bar before Mr. a'Beckett, charged with stealing a watch and chain, value 141., from the person of Mr. Charles Hobson, an engineer, residing in New-street, Southwark-bridge-road. The complainant stated that on Sunday evening last, after coming out of Rowland Hill's chapel, he met a friend named Snelling, and they went and had some refresement at a public-house in Union-street. After quitting the house and taking leave of his friend, as he was walking towards home, he was suddenly attacked and knocked down, and while lying on the ground the prisoner snatched the watch and chain out of his pocket and ran away. He added that he had an opportunity of seeing the features of the person who robbed him, and had no doubt the prisoner was the person. In reply to Mr. A'BECKETT, the complainant said that he had no previous conversation with the prisoner; that he believed it was some of her associates who knocked him down ; that when he was on the ground she then came up and stole the watch ; that he called out when on the ground, but no one came to his as sistance ; and that he afterwards gave a description of the prisoner at the station-house, and that she was taken into custody. He could not be mistaken with regard to the prisoner's identity, and knew that the charge was one of a very serious nature as affected the prisoner. Mr. Snelling was then called, and his account of the transaction was, that on the night in question he and the complainant went to two public houses after chapel, and that he observed the prisoner, who was very desirous the complainant should accompany her, for a length of time following them about. Soon after they left the Crown and Anchor, where they had their parting glass, he (witness) again saw the prisoner when they came out, and she again intruded herself into the complainant's company. He (wit ness) then left them and went home, and when he saw his friend the next morning, he informed him of his having been robbed of his watch by the woman that he saw in his company on Sunday night. Mr. A'BECKETT remarked on the discrepancies in the statements cf the complainant and witness with respect to the circumstances attending the alleged charge, and said that he should not commit the pri soner for trial on the evidence as it stood, but the complainant might have an opportunity of indicting her before a grand jury, who were then sitting at the Sessions House. It will be recollected that a few days since two sis ters from Ireland, named Suban, made an application to Mr. a`Beckett, relative to their distressed condi tion, and asserting that their father had been a butler in the family of the Marquis of Lansdowne; that subsequently to their parent's death they had inha bited a cabin on the Marquis of Lansdowne's estate in the county of Cork ; and that about two months ago they were advised by his Lordship's agent to quit their home, and to come over to London, where, they were informed, they would be enabled to make out a comfortable livelihood ; that, acting upon such advice, they did give up their cabin, and came to London, but found that they could not obtain any em ployment, and would have been reduced to a state of starvation had it not been for the kind sympathy of a Mrs. Johnson, who assisted them with shelter and food as long as she was able, and who accompanied them to this court to make the circumstances of the case known with a view that something might be done for them. On the occasion of the above appli cation, Mr. a'Beckett perceiving the improbability of two such persons as the applicants, both being far ad vanced in life, obtaining situations by which they could earn their bread in London, advised their imme diate removal back to Ireland, a step which has since been carried into effect. In the course of yesterday Mr. a'Beckett received a note from the Marquis of Lansdowne, in reference to the subject above-men tioned. It ran thus:— " Bowood, Oct. 20. " Lord Lansdowne presents his compliments to Mr, a'Beckett, and his attention having been called to a report a few days ago of the procee dings at the South two wark Police-court, in which it appeared that women of the name of Suban represented themselves to be daughters of a person who bad been butler in his family, and that they had been sent from a cabin on his estate in the county of Cork,—he therefore thinks it right to prevent Mr. a'Beckett and the public being imposed upon by stating that he never had a butler of the name of Suban, and that he was never possessed of an estate in the county ark Police-office." of Cory. " G. A. a'Beckett, Bag., Southwa LAMBETH. Mr. Theodosius. Willi ams , the proprietor of the Post. office Coffee-house, 26, St. Martin's-le-Grand, was brought up on a warrant for having neglected to pay to Mary Ann Tinlin the sum of 201. towards th e s upport of his illegitimate child. From the statement of the complainant, a respect able-looking young woman, who had been brought up:in the family of the defendant, it appeared that she had sworn the child t o Mr. Williams, at this court, three years ago last February, and that ever since then she had exprerienced the greatest possible diffi culty in obtaining from him the payment of the ma gistrate's award of half-a-crown a week. Such, she said, was the repugnance of the defendant to keep up his payments of this paltry sum, and her difficulty`in obtaining it, that she lost at least eighteen months' money, by allowing that length of time to elapse be yond the thirteen weeks for which alone the law en abled her to recover. His excuse against paying the eight weeks at present due was the assertion that the child was dead, and for this she had been put to the expense of having the child brought to town from a distance of 200 miles. She sent word to the defend ant where he might see the child if he thought proper, but he declined to do so. The defendant, when asked what he had to say to the charge, replied that he conceived the young wo man bound to produce some evidence besides her own to satisfy him that the child was living, more parti cularly as he could produce evidence of the fact of her having said it had died. The complainant, who seemed very much affected, admitted that she had said so to Mr. Williams's bogsekeeper, but this was at his own earnest oolicita tion, and his going on his knees to pray that she would do so, to procure for him peace and quietness at home. Mr. Williams did not reply to this, and Mr. ELLIOTT, remarking - that the case was made out to his satisfaction, told the defendant that, unless he paid 1/. ss. Gd., the claim and costs, he must com mit him to prison for one month.—The money was paid. GRAVESEND PETTY SESSIONS, Oct. 20. (Magistrates present—R. OAKES (in the chair), E. TicKNER, and C. SPENCER, Esqs.) William Henry Carlin, of Ludgate-hill, London, tobacconist, against whom a warrant was issued on the 16th inst., charging him with violently assaulting Ellen Bishop and violating her person, on the night of the Bth of July last, appeared this day to answer the charge. The court, by the direction of the bench, was cleared of all but the friends of Mr. Carlin, the reporters, and the parties concerned in the hearing of the case. Mr. Humphrey, solicitor, of London, attended for the defence. The first witness called was Mrs. Charlotte Wills, who deposed that she was a widow, residing at 151, Windmill-street, Gravesend, in which house she was in the habit of letting fur nished apartments. Ellen Bishop, the prosecutrix, 'Ad lived with her for a period of seven years at Gravesend and other places, and she had all that time considered her to be a modest and correct girl. On the 16th of June last the prisoner (Mr. Carlin) took her furnished apartments for himself and his wife for three months, and came into occupation of them on that day. On the following day (the 17th) she, after leaving Ellen Bishop in charge of the house and instructing her to be careful in her conduct and at tention to the lodgers, went to Brighton for change of air. The three months, for which time the lodg ings were taken by the prisoner, expiring on the 16th September, she came home on the 15th but did not sleep in the house that night, as no bed had been prepared for her. On the following morning, in consequence of a communication made to her by Ellen Bishop, on her(witness's) return,home, she had an in terview with the prisoner in the sitting-room he occu pied, and she accused him of having committed a rape on the body of Ellen Bishop, her servant. He said in reply to the accusation that he was drunk at the time, and incapable of doing any injury to the poor girl, and added—"you, as a married woman, Mrs. Wills, ought to know that." The prisoner's wife was in the room over the parlour, and might have heard the charge made against her husband. He called his wife down, and told her to go down the street and fetch a chaise, as they were prepared to leave at the time. Witness then called up Ellen Bishop, who, when she came into the room, accused the prisoner of having forced her into his bedroom, and kept her there for five hours; to which he replied, " You must have been dreaming, girl ;" and she re plied that she had not been dreaming, and that she well knew she was telling the truth. The chaise then came to the door, and the prisoner on going uut said to witness, " If you want to carry the matter farther, send your solicitor to me, and I will face him ; but take care of what you are about, or I may bring an action against you for conspiracy." Witness told him ber character was too good a one, and nobody would believe her capable of being guilty of so base an act; and that she fully believed the girl's statement to be true. Prisoner then left the house. There was no other witness present when Ellen Bishop repeated her charge against the prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMPHREY—The girl Bishop told me of the assault on her by Mr. Carlin, on the evening of the 15th of September, shortly after I returned home. The interview I had with Mr. Carlin on the following morning lasted about half an hour. He paid me his bill short of 165., which he disputed and refused to pay, saying it was an over charge. We had some words about it, and I threatened if he did not pay the 16s. that I would :summon him for it. He has not paid it since, but I will make him do so. The girl was not in the room, but she might have heard all that passed, as I told her to be on the stairs in case I should call her to make her charge against Mr. Carlin to his face. There were no other money matters between the prisoner and me. It was after the dispute about the 16s. that I made the accusation against him about the girl. I did not say to him, " Give the girl 51. or 101. and settle the matter with her." This I positively swear. I had been to the house on either the Ist, the 2d, or the 3d of August, but I cannot recollect which of those days. I saw Ellen Bishop, and asked her how she was get ting on ? to which she replied, " Not very well ma'am; I have something to tell you, if you can stay." But I could not stay, as I was afraid of being too late for the two o'clock boat, by which I was to go to London on my way back to Brighton. I had come to the house that morning, and did not stay long. I remarked that the girl seemed scarcely able to walk. I was not at the house again till the 15th of September, or at any time but on the occasion I mention, between the 17th of June and the 15th of September. The parents of Ellen Bishop are living, and residing at Gaole, in Yorkshire. Ellen Bishop, a plain and modest-looking girl, de posed that she was twenty-one years of age, and had been seven years in the service of Mrs. Wills, nearly the two last of which they resided in Gravesend. Mr. Carlin and his wife came to reside in her mistress's house, No. 151, Windmill-street, about the middle of June, and left about the middle of September last. Her mistress left home on the day after they came, leaving her in care of the house. Mr. Carlin used to go up to London every other evening , and cotmhee down house the following morning. Mr. Carl in slept in but o n o two a occasions,bal ball to be given wheni Mrs.nLondonCarlin to was h thd not e o aQ t r t u h ew e e r an e s. .

She refused to do so, and he opened the upper part of her dress at the back, and at length undid all Of her clothes and pushed her into the bed. She had nothing on but her night-gown. He was undressed and got into the bed. (Here, after considerable hesi tation, the witness detailed circumstances confirma tory of the criminal charge against the prisoner.) She added that she had resisted all she could, but (lid not cry out as she thought it useless, there being no one in the house, and the door of the room was locked by the prisoner previous to his getting into the bed. He held her so fast she could not get out of the bed. She remained in the bed till fire o'clock in the morn ing, but did not go to sleep. She was very ill. Be lieves the prisoner slept. He was asleep when she got up and left the room. To the BENCH—The prisoner had gone into her room when she was undressed and brought her her night-gown. She did not then try to leave his room, as he locked her in. When he pushed her into the bed she got under the bed clothes. She struggled as much as she could against him. When he went to her room for her night-gown, she might have followed him out. Mr. Humphrey was proceeding to cross , e x a mine the witness, when The CEIAIRMAN, after a short consultatio n with the other magistrates, said that there was in the o p inion of the Bench no evidence to support the criminal charge set f or th i n th e war r a nt. Independent of the discrepancies between the prosecutrix's statement to the magistrates at the time the warrant was obtained, and her present statement, it appeared to the bench that, according to her own evidence, she was in some degree a consenting party to the violation of her per- Son ; and whatever their opinion may be of the con duct of the prisoner in taking advantage of her un protected situation, they felt bound to dismiss the case.
