Mr. GEORGE HAMILTON wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the attention of Govern ment has been directed to attempts recently made in Kilkenay to intimidate and hold up to odium certain individuals for having exercised their right to petition Parliament respecting the Papal aggres sion ; whether any inquiry has been made by direction of Government respecting the riots and outrages com mitted on the 26th day of May, against the persons who signed petitions to Parliament on that subject, and whether any steps have been taken to bring the offenders to trial? Sir W. SOMERVILLE said police reports had been received giving an account of the outrage alluded to by his Hon. Friend. It appeared that, on the 26th of May, the windows of several of the inhabitants of Kil kenny who had signed the petition were broken. One account stated that the mob consisted of as many as 400 persons, but others represented it to be composed of merely boy 3 and girls. The outrage was premeditated, and so suciden and simultaneous was the attack made that great difficulty was found in identifying the leaders, but two of them had been arrested, and held to bail to appear at the next sessions. THE RIVER BLACK WATER. Mr. ANSTEY rose to ask the First Lord of the Ad miralty, whether any and what measures have been taken or contemplated by Government for the purpose of carrying into effect the suggestions in Captain Frazer's report on:ithe weirs and other illegal obstructions to the fishery and navigation of the River Blackwater. Sir F. BARING said that be could ❑ot say what measures had b-en:taken; all persons, however, had per fect power to take any legal measures which they thought fit, and he thought it was better that parties should be left to their own judgment as to their remedy in such cases. BOARD OF HEALTH. Mr. W. WILLIANIS wished to know what measures had been taken with regard to the appointment of a New Board of Health. Sir G. GREY could not give any information on the subject. WOODS AND FORESTS. In answer to Lord DUNCAN, Lord SEYMOUR said that he would state on Mon day when the Woods and Forests Bill would be pro. ceeded with. KAFIR W .

AYLESBURY ELEC !lON sir F.

The alleged libel of which that gentleman complained was contained in a petition whicn was pre sented to the House, and afterwards published in the Backs Chronicle. The prayer of the petition was agreed to. IRISH WORKHOUSES. Sir D. NORREYS wished to ask the Secretary for Ireland, whether the attention of the Poor-law Com missioners had been called to a resolution of the Clogheen board of guardians relative to the employment of the paupers in maoutacturing articles for sale? Whether the Commissioners are determined to discountenance the conversion of workhouses into manufactories? And whe ther the Commissioners have sufficient power, under the existing law, to prevent such use of the workhouses? Sir W. SOMERVILLE said, the attention of the Poo-law Commissioners had been called to this subject, but they could not consent to put an end altogether to industrial employment in uni on wor kh ouses, f ur if they di they would be acting contrary to the 14th article of the General Workhouse Revision Act; but the Commissioners would not permit any dealings with master manufacturers.—(Hear, hear.)

(LEFT sirriNG.) GERMANY. ... 1 ... 2 ... 3 TRIAL of COUNT and COUNTESS DE BOCARME. The Court of Assizes of Mons re-assembled on Mon ' day, and proceeded to hear the evidence of M. Stas, ' professor of chemistry at the Ecole Militaire, living at Icelles. It was to the effect that after a number of ex periments ho had ascertained beyond all doubt that , deceased had been poisoned by nicotine, and that he has succeeded in extracting a not inconsiderable quantity of that deadly poison from his tongue, stomach, liver, and lungs. On the clothes of deceased, and on the floor of the dining-room of the chateau of Bitre wont witness had also discovered traces of the came poison. He had likewise found nicotine in the partially putrified remains of the grey cat and other animals which the Count was accused of having poisoned. He had tasted the poison extracted from the deceased, and it burned the tongue like a red-hot iron; he had also killed birds by an excessively small quantity of it. It was the conviction of witness that the poison had been given to deceased when he was lying on the floor; he did not think it could have been poured into the glasses by mistake without its strong smell causing it to be observed. He was further of opinion that after taking nicotine it would be impos sible for any one to walk, but ho could not say that they might not cry. A witness then deposed to having taken a consider able quantity of tobacco to the chateau, and a labourer, named Debliquy, stated that he had assisted the Count in making nicotine and other chemical operations. The Court then adjourned. The Countess de Bocarm‘ was so affected at the de tails of the chemical operations on the person of de ceased made by M. Stas, that she became indisposed, and the trial had to be suspended for some time. De Became' paid great attention to the evidence. It will be observed that it tended to destroy his means of defence —viz., that the nicotine had been poured out and taken by mistake. In the sitting, on Tuesday Dr. Zoude, a physician of Tournay, deposed that he had examined the body of de ceased in , the chateau of Bitremout on the 22d Novem ber, and had been struck by the bruises and scratches on the face, and by the burnings, by what appeared to be sulphuric acid, about the mouth. He had afterwards made an examination of the tongue, stomach, and other pans of deceased's person, and the resu l t at which he had arrived was that deceased had been poisoned, and that the poison had been forcibly administered when he was in a horizontal position. He had also examined Count de Bocarta6, and had noticed scratches on his hand, and that marks of a bite were on one of his fingers. In answer to the advocate of the female prisoner, wit ness stated that it was possible, as deceased was a weak man, with only one leg, that the poison.had been forcibly administered by only one person; the person administer ing it bad evidently placed one knee on him and the other on the ground, and that was why a bruise had been noticed on one of the Count's knees. Dr. Marouae, of Tourney, medical attendant to de ceased, stated that he had also examined the body, and that his opinion was that death had been caused by poi son forcibly administered when deceased was lying on the ground. Witness had never observed that the Countess had shown much affection for her brother; on the contrary, she seemed very indifferent to him. De ceased's father had declared on his death-bed that he had been poisoned, but that was because he had taken an overdose of a very violent remedy prescribed by a Frrnch physician. Four witnesses were then called on behalf of the Countess; their evidence was to the effect that she had always shown affection to her brother, and that imme diately after being arrested, she, whilst weeping bit terly, bad said that it was her husband who had knocked down deceased and forced the poison into his mouth. The Procureur du Roi then proceeded to present his requisitory. He began by remarking on the enormity of the crime, on the vile motive which caused it, on the base cowardice with which it was planned and executed. He maintained that it had long been premeditated by both the accused. He denounced the Count as a vile swindler and cheat, as an infamous debauche, as a brutal coward, and as a monstrous hypocrite; and his wife as a vain frivolous creature, without real affection for any one. He then entered into an elaborate examination of the facts of the case, and argued that they fully proved the cool and deliberate perpetration of a carefully planned murder by both the accused. The Procureur de Roi had not concluded when the Court rose. DEATH FROM LOCKJAW.--An inquest was held yesterday, by Mr. W. Carter, at the Rising Sun, Old Kent road, as to the death of James Bagley, aged 44.

Member had, per. hapa. better withdraw his motion after the statement o the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State. Colonel DUNNE was of the same opinion. After a few words from Sir LUCIUS O'BRIEN in reference to the dismissal of Captain Laffan who had been in charge of Mr. Smith O'Brien when he attempted • to escape, The motion was negatived without a division. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, and was n m t b u o r f g t l ih the ferocious,letters of t u h n e p the p eaceable attack made by the Austrian soldiers on account citizens of Hamburgh the following r 9 o t v h ok g e i d v , e an t d i? • nof Altona and the inhabit for the purpose of others who had resorted to that place garrison A rnso conflict has taken place between the tsht.e Pauli and amusement during the Whitsun of the Austrian soldiersb e haved and when the latter ex ho I that one w t ith appears great and attacked him on the rudeness postulated to h a e c d i r v e i w li a h n i s o f ba A y l o t t o neet ts' spot.

A d e t ac h ment of t thattit temain soldiers, under the command of a subaltern, was ordered to disperse the populace, who, it ought to be stated, was having their • row on the Hamburgh territory. On the advance of the troops the mob received them with a volley of stones, and compelled them to retreat. Another detachment of troops was immediately pushed forward, and the soldiers after fired in such a manner as to alarm and not to hurt the frantic mob. This in effectual fire served, however, still further to exaspsrate the people, and the military were at length compelled g to iv fi eu re , a in v r o e lley al earnest. On th e wor d o f comman d b e i ng people, was poured int o th e d ense masses o f t h e which spread death and destruction among them, and the troops advancing in double quick time pro ceeded to clear the dancing booths and other places of amusement at the point of the bayonet; driving men, women, and children before them, and compelling them to leap out of the windows, and, at the peril of their lives, to jump down from the balconies. During this affray, chairs, benches, fire-irons, and other articles of furniture were hurled at the troops, and by the means of these missiles they wounded several officers of the Austrian Commander's staff.: The populace were, however, compelled to disperse, leaving eight of their number killed and 18 wounded behind them. A brigade or Austrian troops has been quartered in the suburb of St. Pauli, and field guns ready charged and primed are in the public square to prevent another outbreak is that locality. The exasperation of the in habitants of Hamburgh and Altona exceeds all bounds. The King of Hanover has addressed the following letter to the Stadr-Director of the capital : "On the occurrence of my 80th birthday so many un doubted proofs of warm sympathy and attachment have been presented to me from the city, that I feel compelled to express to you how agreeable this manifestation of loyalty has been to my heart. Return to the faithful citizens of my residence my sincere thanks.—Yours, &c., "Hanover, June 7. " ERNEST AUGUSTUS." In the last sitting of the Deputies of Saxe Coburg the Ministerial proposition relative to sending a re presentative to the Diet at Frankfort was discussed. Two motions were laid before the Assembly, both agreeing to the measure, though from different mo tives. The motion of the Democratic majority was agreed to ; it stated that " The Assembly declares that, as a portion of the representation of the German people, it could not authorize the Government to send an Envoy to the German Diet; yet considering that the Government had been brought by concessions to the actual necessity of doing so, as appeared by the Ducal decree, it believed it was doing its duty by ab staining from making the Government responsible for the step it had taken." LONDON, THURSDAY PRISON DISCIPLINE. " Such was the treatment to which your petitioner was subjected during two years and one week, the entire period for which he was sentenced; and petitioner begs to remind your Hon. House that the sentence of the judge, as delivered in court, was simply this:—' The sentence of the Court is, that you be imprisoned during two years on the first count, and one week on the second,' coupled with the assurances previously stated; and petitioner begs further to observe that the same treatment would naturally be far more injurious to the health of a man in his station of life than to that of a man long inured to hardships and privations; whereas petitioner can prove that prisoners convicted on infinitely more serious charges were treated in a far more lenient manner. " Your petitioner now solicits the attention of your Hon. House to the treatment he experienced when en deavouring to obtain some alleviation of his sufferings. On the 19th of March, 1849, petitioner, finding his health unable to bear the treatment inflicted, and feeling convinced such treatment was not intended by the Court asked permission to write to the judge who sentenced him, for the purpose of inquiring whether his treatment was in accordance with the sentenced passed; but the permission was refused. Petitioner was then threatened with additional severities of an aggravated character, if he did not cease complaining of his sufferings; he was even told he would be set to scrub the floors of the con victs' cells. Petitioner then applied for leave to see the prison rules, but even this was denied him. Petitioner then desired to see his solicitor, or to write to him, but was refused. Petitioner then asked leave to petition your Hon. House, which was prohibited by the visiting justices, although he stated, as one reason among many adduced for so doing, that he had several serious charges to make against them (the visiting justices) themselves Petitioner then applied to the board to know under what clause, of what Act, he was prevented writing, for the purpose named, to the judge who !sentenced him, and from petitioning Parliament. The board refused even to answer his questions. Petitioner was further told that he should not be admitted to see the visiting justices at their weekly board day, though the Act and the prison rules alike specify such to be the right of prisoners. Petitioner had never abused that right, and had previously to such refusal (during a period of ten months) applied only four times to see the magistrates. The governor thus arrogated the right to himself of admitting a prisoner to see the magistrates or not, at his pleasure. Petitioner was further told if, in his quarterly interviews with his wife, ho alluded at all to his treatment in prison, he would immediately be forced from her presence, though the Act gives no such power. Petitioner wins desirous of acquainting some Members of your Hon. House with the treatment he experienced, and accordingly, in his quar terly letter, directed his wife to write to Mr. Wakley, Mr. G. Thompson, and Mr. F. O'Connor, requesting them to come and see him at the quarterly period of seeing visitors. The prisoner was warned to desist, since it would, he was told, be highly injurious to him to see those gentlemen; every obstacle was thrown in the way of the interview, and, as petitioner persisted, the governor, with his own hand, added a paragraph to petitioner's letter, warning his wife not to write to those gentlemen, under peril of being herself- forbidden to see her husband at the periods prescribed by law. Petitioner's wife, alarmed at the communication, obeyed the governor's injunction, and petitioner had the greatest difficulty in acquainting the gentlemen named with his desire for an interview. Petitioner failed in obtaining attention to his case, owing to the impossibility of again conveying information as to his treatment, and that treatment now beeame more severe than ever. Peti tioner was told, if in his quarterly letters he alluded to his treatment those letters would be suppressed. "The weekly payment of money being seven days in arrear, petitioner was ordered forthwith to resume oakum-picking, though his health rendered him unequal to the labour, and his eyesight was seriously injured by the glare of the whitewashed cell. Petitioner then said that, since, on his oath, he believed his treatment to be contrary to his sentence; since he was prohibited from writing to his judge to ask if such was the case; since he was prevented from petitioning Parliament, acquaint ing his solicitor, friends, or relatives, appealing to the magistrates, or even alluding to his treatment in his usual letters; and since his health was rapidly sinking under the infliction, he, on his part, refused to perform forced labour, but at the same time expressed his willing ness to pick oakum forthwith, upon his being allowed to write to his judge or to petition your Hon. House. Petitioner here begs to observe, that in not one instance during the entire period of his imprisonment did he knowingly break one single rule of the prison; and in the case alluded to he believed his treatment to be con trary to his sentence, but even then resisted it only be cause the common right of every prisoner was denied him, ? and both th e l aws o f the country and rules of the prison were set asid e by t h e aut h or i t i es. Petitioner was hpelirt y p o tuo u n : on the 3d d ay o f May, 1849, ordered by the governor to be l oc k e d up in a refractory cell on bread and wt h i e tho g u o t ve b r ° n ° o k r 4. reOpinied inquiring lon ' g fo a r s h l o c w hoo lo s n e. g I a in at my pl easure, and I take you cut at my pleasure.

" Your petitioner was subsequently conveyed to Tot hill fields Prison, Westminster, and there, during the entire period to which he was sentenced, kept in sepa rate confinement on the silent system, which was en forced with such rigour that he was severely repri manded for even reading the Bible to himself, though in a scarcely audible voice. Your petitioner was further compelled to pick oakum, which he did on his arrival, and which labour was remitted only in consideration of a weekly payment of money. He was made to wear the same dress and parti•coloured cap as culprits guilty of heinous offences, and marched about the prison in the same files with common felons, subjected to convict discipline so rigorous as to make an involuntary smile, turning the head to the right or left, or folding the arms, a punishable offence; supplied with indigestible and unwholesome food, to the serious injury of his health; not allowed a fork, being obliged to use his fingers instead; and not furnished with sufficient under clothing for health and cleanliness. " During the greater part of the months of November and December, 1848 (which were remarkably severe), your petitioner was kept without fire, and with the same clothing as in the height of summer, in a day cell, two windows of which were unglazed, having merely shut ters, and its doors (which closed imperfectly) opening directly on the prison yard. In neither winter during his detention was any addition, even in the most rigorous weather, made to the clothing be wore in summer. Your petitioner was further forced, during the chief period of his imprisonment, to sleep in a small night cell, about 6ft. wide by Bft. long, in a thorough draft, between the window and the door; the former fitting so badly as to admit the rain, and the latter, as did also two large gratings of about one foot square each in that cell where he was principally confined during both win ters, opening directly on the outer air. Such was the damp and fog in these cells during winter that your pe titioner has of mornings brushed the dew off his blanket, and suffered from the humidity of his clothing. Your petitioner thence became afflicted with tic-dolereux and rheumatism, so severe as almost to deprive him of the use of his limbs; notwithstanding this, his cell was not changed while suffering thus, till shortly before his leav ing the prison, and, though afflicted during fire winter months with the most aggravated attack of neuralgia, he was compelled to rise at a quarter past six in the morn ing, and even in snow or rain to walk through two yards, and wash and dress in the open air, under a recess in the wall. " Your petitioner was by this treatment reduced to a state of health so precarious that he lost 161 b. in weight in seven weeks, as the infirmary-books will prove, and was unable to walk across his cell; the sur geon was compelled to order him into the infirmary, where he remained nineteen weeks, at two intervals. On leaving the infirmary the first time, no alteration being made in his treatment, the consequence was the surgeon was obliged to bend him back, after the lapse of a fort night, in a more dangerous state than before. During part of this time, as he then asserted on his oath, and as be still believes, his life was in imminent danger; his wife therefore petitioned for leave that Mr. Cholmon deley, of No. 3, Nottingham-place, Regent's-park, who has attended petitioner and his family for twelve years, might be allowed to see him, but was refused. Mr. Wskley, Member of your Hon. House, applied as such, and in his medical capacity, to see petitioner, but was also refused permission, by both the visiting justices and Sir George Grey. " Your petitioner, after leaving the infirmary a second time, was (with the exception of obtaining, after a while, a larger night-cell) once more subjected to the same treatment as before, the effect of which was the ruin of his health, and the infliction of nervous and rheumatic complaints, from which he is still suffering severely. and from which he believes he can never wholly recover. Your petitioner further begs to state that (with two exceptions) he was not allowed to see any friend or relative more than four times in the year, and then only in the presence of a turnkey, and for twenty minutes each time; that after the first three months he was not allowed to write a letter, even to his wife, more than once a quarter, the permission of writing oftener, after the period named, having been withdrawn without petitioner's having given any cause, or broken a single rule of the prison, but, on the con trary, having been repeatedly commended for his con duct; that not even during the fearful visitation of the cholera, though petitioner made a special request to be allowed to hear from home, was that request acceded to; that he was during the first nineteen months of his im prisonment not allowed the use of pen, ink, or paper (except for a few momenta once a quarter for the afore said quarterly letter); that though petitioner's wife was so ill as to be long in danger of her life, permission was refused her to inform her husband, or to communicate with him, and that when petitioner was himself dan gerously ill, he was not able to acquaint his wife with his condition until the time for writing his quarterly letter had come round. out books, having even his Bible taken away. Petitioner was seriously ill of a bowel complaint at the time; the cholera was then raging at its height, the infirmary being then so full that patients were lying in the common cells, and one died near the refractory cell in which petitioner was locked. Two political fellow prisoners, Sharpe and Williams, received the same sentence from the board for the same cause, at the same time as petitioner; they were in good health when thus sentenced, but both died immediately after the completion of that sen tence, and the inquest commented on the severity of the treatment. EVENING, JUNIII l2, lB5l. "At the expiration of the six days petitioner was sentenced to be sent back to the refractory cell under the same treatment, but the payment of money and the dangerous state of his health prevented the sentence from being carried into effect. From that period, as the infirmary books will testify, petitioner never re covered his health, and he feels convinced that, had bis imprisonment lasted a short time longer than the period of his sentence, ho would never have quitted the prison with life. " Your petitioner therefore prays your Hon. House to grant some investigation of the treatment to which he was subjected, by which the authority of the judge was superseded, by which the rules of the prison were violated, the laws of the country broken, and by which the health of the prisoner was ruined, and his life ina perilled—an investigation that may prevent similar in juries from being inflicted on other prisoners it future. " And your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c. " ERNEST CHARLES JONES." IMPROVEMENTS AT BILLINGSGATE MARKET.—The first po,tion of the new market, namely, the architectural river front and shell-fish market, constructed on the site of the old wet dock, is nearly finished, and will in the course of a few days be opened. The river frontage extends from the Custom-house-stairs to Dark-house-lane; it is in the Tudor style of architecture, built of Dutch brick, with dressings of Portland stone and granite, and consists of a central or clock tower, two wing turrets with an intersecting colonnade, having fifteen distinct river entrances. The bed of the old dock is reached by a double flight of stone steps; here shell fish will be exclusively sold, and its surface will be covered with stalls for the sale of other kinds of fish. On the open ing of this portion of the market the removal of the houses in Dark-house-lane will commence, in order to complete the new market. Tha amount which the Corporation are ex pending in this important improvement is 22,000/. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN ES KEELS AND BISDEN. The bankrupts, James Keele and Robert John Bisdee, of 2, Riches-court, Lime-street, London, merchants, came up upon the question of certificate. The joint balance•sheet, commencing December 1, 1843, and ending January 9, 1851, shows the fol lowing :—Joint creditors, 10,8031.; ditto, holding security, 10,1641.; capital, December 1, 1843, be longing to James Keele, 3791.; profits, 1,678/. ; debtors, good, 1,0241. ; property in the hands of cre ditors holding security, 11,7111. ; property i n th e hands of Beames a n d C o ., 1,617. ; trade expenses, 4,310/. ; partnersWithdrawings—James Kee1e,2,148/. ; J. 13uidee, 1,7101.; losses, 5001. Mr. Lawrence appeared for Keele, Mr. Linklater for Bisdee, and Mr. Alfred Jones, for the assignees, opposed on the ground that new books had been pre pared, and that it was not satisfactorily proved that they were correct copies of the old ones, which were not forthcoming to vouch for the accuracy of the new ones. James Keels, examined by Mr. LAWRANCE—The partnership ccmmenced in 1843. Kept books in the usual way that merchants did. In 1847 it was dis covered that the books had been improperly kept. Bisdee went to Sydney in July, 1847, to adjust some accounts. When the new books were opened every sum was copied from the old ones. There was no reason for opening the new books except the imperfect state of the old ones. Bisdee went to New South Wales to obtain a settlement of a balance due to the firm. Previous to Bisdee's return mace an assignment for benefit of cre ditors. There was no beneficial result from Bisdee's going to Sydney. The charges in the colony upon consignmert were enormous-71 per cent., besides other charges, amounting to 20 per cent., which swallowed up all the profits. Robert John Bisdee examined by Mr. LINKLATER --Each partner was to put into the business 1,0001. within a month of signing the partnership deed. Keele kep; the bocks. Went to Sydney in July, 1847, to Eet money owing to the firm. Believed the firm was solvent in 1847. When he returned from Sydney fund that Keele had made an assignment. The clerk they kept was not an efficient man. Mr. LAWEANCE said it seemed that both these gentlemen started together with a view to mutual advantage; they had each to share in the responsi bility, and on the part of Keele there had not been any attempt at concealment. The books had been kept openly by a clerk, who, it appeared, was b ut moderately p a id, an d that might account for their in accuracies. The question was, whether these gentle men had anything to be blamed for except trading in a distant colony when the markets were falling. The charge which affected the morale of the case more than anything, viz., destroying the books, had been abandoned. If there was any charge against the bankrupts, it was that of imperfect bookkeeping. The trading extended over a period of seven years, and no creditor was there to make any complaint. The bank rupts had not traded either fraudulently or recklessly, but it was from misfortune and unavoidable losses that the failure had occurred, and he called upon his honour to grant ; first-class certificate. Mr. LIISILLATZR said the story of Bisdee was an unhappy one, but so far from avoiding the investiga tion, he courted ;t. tie had been to Sydney to col lect some account s which were due ; he did all he could, and was unsuccessful. The drawings of Bis dee during a perlod of eight years had been only 1,7001., and thatdacluded his drawing money for his passage to Sydney. His drawings, in fact, had been less than his fatter bad sunk in the concern. Mr. Linklater, after (Ailing the attention of the Court to the fact that no preference had been attempted to be given to the fathtr of Bisdee, who had advanced the money, asked foi a first-class certificate. His Hosioua, b giving judgment, said that there was certainly no fraud or concea l ment i n the case before him. But whatever was the state of trade in New South Welts in the year mentioned, there was ample time for tie bankrupts to have known the state of trade in the colony, and to have conducted their affsirs accordingly. He (the Commissioner) must therefore consider that the bankrupts had acted very improvidekly in maki ng l arge cons i gnments to places when it as notorious that returns were at all times difficul t to obtain. In considering the cir cumstances of ttc case, his Honour said be thought it was not a case here the bankruptcy was unavoid able, but that i, was occasioned by improvident trading, the drayings being nearly double the gross profits. He ( 0 3 Commissioner)* should dr aw some s light distinctioi between the bankrupts, because it appeared that Badee was abroad when the large con signments took )lace, therefore he considered he was less blameable lan his partner. The certificates would be of du second class ; that of Keele to be suspended for six months, and that of Bisdee for three months, with Protection. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAZ -LBOROUGH-STREET'. Joseph Grifiths, one of the Foot Guards, was brought up los final examination, charged with having violently assaulted the police. Police-constable Gray was on duty in the park, about ten o'clock on Monday last, when he heard the cries of a woma n for help. He ran to the spot, and found the prison er getting up from off a young wo man whom he had thrown on the ground and had attacked with Ilse intention of committing a capital offence. As ►oon as witness came up, the young woman, who appeared to be a servant of a decent class, cried oul, " Thank God, lam glad some one has come to ay assistance." Witness proceeded to take the soldit r into custody, upon which five of his comrades calm to his assistance and rescued him from custody. Witness sprang his rattle. Another constable named Pritchard -came up and was kicked severely by the prison's. The prisoner took off his belt and struck furioudy right and left, injuring the other constable severely with the brass ornament. The young woman Made her escape as soon as witness went in pursuit of the prisoner after he had been rescued by hi' Comrades. Police-conlable Jones said, he met the constables in Piccadilly ;eking the prisoner to the station-house. As soon as tht prisoner saw him he rushed forward and gave hiss a dreadful kick on the lower part of his person, D. 9 which severe injuries had been sustained. Police-sergeant Pritchard, who had been unable to attend at the first examination in consequence of the violence he bed sustained, now stated that on bearing the first witness spring his rattle he went forward and found the constable engaged in a violent struggle with the prisoner. He attempted to give assistance, but was immediately knocked down. After a violent struggle, in which witness was severely kicked, the prisoner was overpowered and taken to the station house. On :he way to the station-house the prisoner threw himse f down and inflicted a kick on witness, which had ol'liged him to keep his bed for a day or two. The prisoner, who received a good character from his sergeant, made no defence. Mr. BINGJAY said, there was very little doubt that the prisoner would have perpetrated a dastardly out rage on the young woman, but for the fortunate in terference of the police. Th e p r i soner h a d then pro ceeded to comm i t a violent assault on the constables, one of whom had been so injured as to be obliged to keep his room. The case was one which called for a severe example, and he should therefore send the prisoner to the House of Correction for two months. WORSHIP-STREET. Lucy Macdonald, a well-dressed woman but of dis sipated appearance, was charged at the instance of the parish officers of Stepney with ,scandalously neglect § ing and otherwise cruelly ill-treating three children, who had been placed under her care by their f athor, the warder of the gaol at Dartmouth, in Devorishiro. It appeared from the evidence that for a c, wind en able time past the neighbourhood of the prison, sea re sidence, in Queen -street, Cambridge-road, Mile-end, has been in a state of much excitement in consei luence of rumours that the prisoner was in the hi 'bit of most cruelly treating three children placed under her charge, one of whom, a little girl eight y, jars of age, bad been lately seen in the street covered with nothing but rags, both her eyes swolle n and contused, and other parts of her person pre senting manifest indications of having been recently subjected to extreme personal violence. The ex cite ment at length rose to such a pitch that the attei ition of the police was attracted to a mob of about 200 persons collected round the house, who displayeil the greatest exasperation against the prisoner, calling her a second Mrs. Sloane, and declaring that they wculd burst open the door and tear her to pieces. In non sequence of these violent demonstrations a comcuu nication was forwarded to Sergeant Smith, of the K division, who proceeded at once to the office of Mr. Seaborne, the relieving overseer, who accompanied him to the prisoner's house, and on entering a rotsm on the ground floor they found Henry Brooks, the eldest boy, and his sister Catherine, with a younger boy, five years of age, and an illegitimate child be longing to the prisoner herself, all of whom presented the most filthy and wretched appearance, having scarcely anything upon them to cover their skirls ; and it was elicited upon questioning the first three children that their father had left them under the care of the prisoner about nine months previously, when he was appointed to his situation at Dartmouth, but that he had regularly remitted to the prisoner from 17s. to 1/. per week for their maintenance. They stated, however, that the principal food the pri soner gave them was dry bread and a little tea, and that the prisoner was in the habit of cruelly beating them, sometimes with the wooden roller of a blind, and sometimes with an instrument which the children called a heavy stick, but on its being pointed out to tbe officer he found it to be the bottom bar of a window frame. The little boy also stated that he had like wise another brother about ten years old, who had been so cruelly beaten by the prisoner a few months before that he watched for an opportunity of escaping from the house, ran away, and he had neither seen nor heard of him since. The appearance of all the children indicated that they were nearly in a state of starvation, and the youngest child was in such an emaciated condition as to resemble a perfect skeleton. Having ascertained that the prisoner was in a room upstairs, he (the sergeant) proceeded there, and found her lying upon a bed in a state of such helpless intox ication that they had some trouble in getting her down to the lower part of the house, where, in consequence of the threats of the infuriated mob surrounding the place, it was necessary to remove her through an ad joining house in the custody of a person in plain clothes, or she would certainly have been subjected to severe personal violence. The sergeant added, that he had ascertained from the eldest of the children, who com plained that he bad not tasted animal food for a fort night, that the woman had no excuse for her inhuman conduct on the ground of poverty, as she had within that period received a draught for 4/. 10s. from the father of her illegitimate child, an officer in the army stationed with his regiment at Malta, in addition to the usual remittance of 17s. per week from their father. (The sergeant produced the window-bar referred to by the children, which was a piece of wood about three feet in length, three or four inches in width, and of proportionate thickness.) The three children, who had been taken under the care of the parish officers, were brought into court clothed in decent apparel furnished by the union au thorities, and the youngest child, five years old, being exhibited to the magistrate, his half-starved and atten uated appearance excited a feeling of indignant commis seration in every one present. To prove that this was not the natural condition of the little creature a certificate was handed up to the bench from the medical officer of the workhouse, stating that it was not labouring under any disease, but that the deplorable condition it pre sented was solely the result of the gross neglect or ill-treatment to which it had been subjected. Henry Brooks, the eldest, a boy stated to be 15, an ' intelligent but diminutive little fellow, was then ex amined, and stated that at the time his father was obliged to go into the country, leaving them in the care of the prisoner ; they were all provided with comfortable and sufficient clothing, but that his aunt, who was in the habit of drinking very much, pawned the whole of their clothes in a very short time after. They were in consequence kept closely confined indoors, and his little brother, from want of clothing, had not been out of doors for at least five months. They were chiefly fed upon bread and weak tea, and when they did have meat, it was never more than once a week. The boy added, that after enduring this treatment as long as be could, he availed himself of an opportunity of secretly writing to his father, to ap prise him of the prisoner's conduct towards them, in consequence of which he immediately wrote to the prisoner cn the subject, but since then, to use the boy's own expression, " she has treated us worse and drunk more than ever." Several other witnesses, neighbours of the prisoner, were in court, and displayed much anxiety to give evidence in the case; but Mr. HAststrer. did not consider it necessary to hear them at present, as he had made up his mind to re mand the case for a week, and requested the relieving overseer to submit the matter to the consideration of the board of guardians, as he regarded it as a fit case to be taken in hand and prosecuted at the expense of the parish. Mr. Seaborne expressed his intention to immedi ately do so, and the prisoner, who offered no obser vations upon the facts detailed against her, was ac cordingly remanded for a week. LAMBETH. James Manning, a well-dressed young fellow, who described himself as a servant out of place, was placed at the bar on Tuesday last, before Mr. Elliot, on a charge of defrauding, in concert with two others, Mr. Richard Anderson, a clerk of the Gloucester Bank, Gloucester, of four sovereigns, a silver watch and gold guard chain, at Vauxhall-gar dens on Monday night. From the lengthened statement of Mr. Anderson it appeared, that on Monday evening he was stand ing on Hungerford-pier, when he was accosted by the prisoner, who asked if he knew when a boat would start for Vauxhall, saying be was going to Vaux hail-gardens. Witness replied that he did not know, nor did he know where Vauxhall-gardens were. A boat just then came alongside the pier for Vauxhall, and the prisoner and himself got on board, and ultimately went to the gardens. Here the prisoner met with a man who appeared to be Il an acquaintance, and with whom he shook hands, and they all then sat down in one of the boxes to have some refreshments. While there a third man came up, and asked if the box was engaged, and the prisoner replied that it was, but that at tbe same time they could make room for him. This person, who affected to be a stranger to all, sat down, and said the cause of his anxiety to sit there was that on the previous night he had given Si. to a woman whom he had met in the gardens to purchase a shawl, and that she had promised t o mee t him in that very box on that night. The prisoner soon after pro posed to toss with this person for cigars, and then for money, and, having lost three sovereigns to him, turned to the prosecutor and asked him for some mo ney to go on with, saying, he knew a " new dodge" by which he cnuld win his money back. The prose cutor, through his persuasion, first lent the prisoner one sovereign and then throe, and when the strange man had won all, the prisoner, in a whisper, repeated that he was up to a ne w d o d ge by w hi c h h e mus t win the money back again, and induced the prosecutor to stake his watch and chain for 201. The toss for these articles was soon over, and they were as soon con signed to the pocket of the lucky winner of the sovereigns, who told the prosecutor he could have his property back any time he chose to call at his residence in Tavistock-square, the number of which he gave. The for tunate winner left the box, for the purpose, as he said, of ordering a choice bottle of wine at the bar, but forgot to return. The second man, who acted as a stakeholder, also sneaked off, and the prisoner made a desperate effort to get away, but the prosecutor cried out " Stop thief," when he ran away, and was secured by Sergeant Hughes, who was on duty in the gardens. The prosecutor was subje c t e d t o a r i g id cross-ex amination by Mr. Games, the prisoner's attorney, in the course of which he admitted he bad won a shilling by betting while the tossing was going on. He did not, he said, join the prisoner in tossing. The prisoner gambled on his own account, and the prisoner did not tell him how he was to get his money back if the pri soner lost. The prisoner told him that the man who won his watch and chain would give his address, and the latter said he resided in Tavistock-square. Sergeant Hughes deposed to having apprehended the prisoner, an d f oun d on hi m twenty shillings i▪ n silver, a n d some copper money. H e l oo k e d a ft er hi▪ s companions, but did not succeed in finding them. The prisoner was remanded for a week.

CASE OF POISONING. HALTWHISTLE, MONDAY.—Mr. Stephen Reed, coroner for South Northumberland, with a jury, has been hold ing a lengthened inquiry into the death of a farmer named Thomas Teesdale, belonging to Kelloe, a hamlet near Fetherstone Castle, and about three miles from this place. The inquest, which has been adjourned twice previously, was again adjourned to day, to permit of the exhumation of the remains of a former husband of Teasdale's wife, who died between 10 and 12 years ago, and who is b ur i e d i n K na rsdale churchyard, in Tindale. The facts of the case, as they have come out in evi dence, are these:—Teasdale was a small farmer, and was possessed of a little property; he married his pre sent wile a year or two after her first husband's death, and they have had three children. Mrs. Teasdale's first husband was much older than herself, and being of penu rious habits, saved a little money, of which she got bet thirds. He died very suddenly. Teesdale and his wife lived very unhappily together, and he had complained to many of his neighbours and relatives that his wile threatened either to p o i son or stab biro, and that in one or two instances ho had refused to take his meals for fear of being Poi soned. About a year ago he told his uncl° and aunt that his wife had informed him that she had seen a man at Haltwhistle who told her if she would make away with her husband he would come and live with her and manage the farm, bettor than her husband. In consequence of continued altercations, he had issued a handbill °tiering the farm to let, but had been per suaded by his wire to give up the notion, and for a for months previous to his last illness they appeared to lire upon better terms. The deceased had been poorly du ring the winter, but in the ear ly part of May be was seized with an ill ness w hi ch he said he could not under stand at all. The symptoms were a continued vomiting, an intense burning heat across the stomach, rial pulsation over that part, with other alarming BP' pear ances. The man sank very rapidly, and died on the 13th of May, but not before he had been attended by the . minister of the parish and his friends, to whom he de scribed his strange disorder. The clergyman, a t the re quest of Teasdale, made his will, and the whole of t h e evidence at this point went to show that Teasdale v . l: . quite calm and collected, and expressed no desire to die. Deceased was attended by Mr. Smith, surgeon, Halt whistle, during his late illness, who, a f te r e xamining very closely, came to the opinion that he was labouring under the effects of a mineral poison, and treated his case as such. Th e only female attendant on Teasdale during his illness was his wife, and the principal article of diet that was administered to him was milk. portion before Teasdale's death, Mr. Smith procured of the milk he had vomited, enclosed it in a Phial , 50 as Shor . tly • sent it down to Newcastle to Dr. Charlton, to be gn lysed, but in consequence of that gentleman of town it was not got into the hands of Dr. Glover until four days after, and the result of the analysis ad not arrive in Ilaltwhistle until Teasdale was des Arsenic was discovered in the milk. Teasdale's deatha was announced to the coroner, who immediately held being out preliminary inquiry, and ordered a post mortens exarg e ation of the b o d y to b e made. I t was done, and ssr. result of with its contents, sent to Newcastle , to .Is.lt Glover, for analysi s . Th at gentleman gave the u of his experi ments on M onday, which left no doubt that Teasdale had been poisoned with arsenic. There are various rumours about the sudden death of Mrs. Teasdale's first husband, and the coroner Bud jury thought they would best serve the ends of justice by having the remains of the first husband exhumed, $ Dr. Glover said it was quite possible to detect the pre sence of arseni c , if it had been administered, even after the lapse of ten years. 13s 9 1 14a 0", 148 3 " 135 Od 14s Od 13s 3d 145 Od 12s 6d 12s Od 13s 01 14s 0 1 131 0 ", 13s 0 " 13 3 6d 13 5 Od 12s 01 13 s 01 115 64 10 3 6d 141 01 Time. , 13s 0" t t7% .8% t 914 113( BY2 6!4 Direct Crantbw Very quai PROM 104 114 24 4% *514 6% BOAT Threa Mo packets ; Superb() Agent, St, June 1, NO The n of the L letter, p E. 31 or out o Loud 84, 85, Loud , and 3, 1 Brad Shall Tailo makers The: turday, DR.
