The National Assembly of Schleswig-Holstein held its last sitting on the 17th, and the retrograde move,- meat of the Holstein army had commenced; a bat talion reached Hamburgh on the 18th, on its way towards Plon. Another battalion in garrison at Ratz burg, had taken an oath of fidelity to the King of Denmark. The Austrian corps d'armee was being concentrated in Lauenburg, and it was supposed that it would remain some time in that province and in Holstein. The Federal and Danish Commissioners at Hamburgh had resumed their negotiations, and it was not doubted would come to an arrangement. The movements of the Prussian and Austrian troops, which were crossing the Elbe into Lauenburg, have been suddenly suspended. Advises from Hanover state that the Austrian columns have come to a stand-still in that capital. The cause of the delay is not accounted for. Count de Reventlow Criminil, acting for the King of Denmark, has assumed the. government of the Duchy of Lauenburg. It is not true that Austria has been taking active measures for the abolition of the Sound duties. The question has been discussed by Austria and Prussia in the free conferences, but the discussion has led to no result. The Danish plenipotentiary suggested that, if the duties were abolished, Denmark would be re duced to a state of dependance on England and Russia. It appears now to be quite certain that Hol stein, and especially Rendsburg, will be occupied by Austrian and Russian troops. The Copenhagen papers of the 17th protest that no reduction will take place in the Danish army until Rendsburg and Friedrichsort shall have been given up to the troops of the King of Denmark. General Von der Horst, the late Commander.in- Chief of the Holstein army, has addressed the follow ing general order to the troops that are being dis banded or dismissed on leave : " Soldiers! On the occasion of your quitting the army I bid you a hearty farewell, and I express to you the thanks of the country for the faithful service you have done to its cause. The consciousness of having done your duty will accompany you on the path of life; may It add to your happiness and be your comfort in evil days. God bless you, comrades, wherever you go. " The Commanding• General, Von der "loam " Rendsburg, Jan. 18." IMPORTANT SEAMAN'S CASE. On Tuesday, six men were brought up in custody before Mr. Rushton, by police-officer Tuck, on a charge of refusing to proceed to sea in the ship after signing articles. Thomas Ridley said he was master of the Crusader, and the whole of the men had sailed with him in the ship on a voyage to Buenos Ayres. They had been at sea five days, and returned to port, when they refused to go the voyage. One of the men said on the charge being preferred, that they would be obliged if the mate and the steward were sent for, as they would state that the captain bad never been sober since the ship left the river. When the witnesses came, they were sworn, and Mr. Rushton addressed the mate, and said : "These six men a r e b roug h t h ere f or re f us i ng to go to sea in the ship, alleging as a reason that the cap tain had not been sober since he left the river. Is that true ?" The mate, who seemed to answer unwil lingly, said he could not say that he bad been altogether in his proper senses during the voyage. The steward was then called, and he said he could not say that the captain had been in his proper senses during the voyage. He had often given him spirits in his coffee, and he was not capable of managing the ship on a lee shore. The captain said he had never been in such a state. He had had a pilot on board for three days out of the five. He had not tasted spirits of any descrip tion. The steward said, " I saw him fill a tumbler when he was not able to-hold it to the cask." Mr. Rushton—What of ? The Steward—Rum, sir. Mr. Ruslaton said it was a very serious matter. It was Ws duty to take care that the men were not imprie sailed improperly. The sailor bad a right to guard ;against a drunken captain. Here was the mate, an unwilling witness, who was put on oath, and who said the captain was not fit for duty ; and the steward deposed that he was not only totally unfit, but he had seen him drinking spirits by the tumbler, drawn out of the cask. Under the circumstances, and de ciding by the evidence, he thought the men justified in not proceeding to sea. The owner, who was in court, said the men had refused to work when the ship was in danger ; and Mr. Rushton replied, that if such captains were put on board a vessel all confidence was lost. The captain said he had sailed sixteen years out of Liverpool, and referred to his character during that time, when the magistrate remarked that it was a painful thing to do, as respected the captaln, but it was due to the men—they must be discharged. The men were then set at liberty ; but it was under stood that the owners would put a new captain in the ship, and that they would proceed on the voyage. A memorial from them to the owners was also read, setting forth the conduct of the captain in the form of a letter, from which it appeared he had perilled the ship, - not being able to distinguish the lights, and having to give up the command of the vessel to one of the people to pilot her inside the Tuskar rocks, when she was in dangerous circumstances, and when, but for this delegation of authority, she would have been lost. The letter, the magistrate remarked, was extremely creditable to the men.—Liverpool Courier. PAPAL AGGRESSION. ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY FROM THE IRISH PRELATES. The following is the address to her Majesty from the Prelates of the Established Church in Ireland, with the reply of the Secretary of State : " TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " An humble Address of the undersigned Archbishops, and Bishops of the United Church of England and Ireland. " May it please your Majesty,—We, the Archbishops and Bishops of the Irish provinces and bishopric„ of the United Church of England and Ireland, approach your Majesty at this time with the humble tender of our duty, and the expression of our heartfelt participation in those sentiments of devoted loyalty to the Crown, and of unshaken attachment to the principles of the Reforma tion, which the recent proceedings of the Bishop ef Rome have drawn forth so generally from your Ma jesty's subjects in England. " The same laws of the realm which have made one United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, have no less established one United Church of England and LT laud. And the Irish branch of that United Church, as it has always been faithful in the maintenance of the union of the kingdom, so has it ever been and now is equally earnest with the English branch in denying the pretensions of any foreign prince, person, prelate, state, or potentate,' to any rightful jurisdiction, power, supe riority, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spi ritual, within this realm.' "The recent exercise of such a pret2nried right by the Bishop of Rome, in constituting a territorial hierarchy in England, subject to his supreme jurisdiction, is, happily, in that form, as yet a novelty in Great Britain; but, un happily, it is not the first exercise of such pretensions within the bounds of the United Kingdom. For, in Ire land, where the prerogative of the Crown is by law one and the same as in England, the Bishops of Rome have long ago pursued a course not dissimilar to that now at tempted in England. At the period of the Reformation, nearly all the Irish bishops renounced the Papal autho rity; and of these the prelates of the Established Church are indisputably the regular successors. It was not until after the lapse of several years a new and rival episcopate was gradually introduced by the Popes, which has become politically formidable to the stability of the United Church in this country, besides obstructing its efforts to make known the Word of God, and promote peace, unity, and concord among your Majesty's subjects. "We have thought it necessary to advert to these well-known facts relating to Ireland, because they seem to have been almost, if not altogether, lost sight of, in the indignation which has been excited by the recent attempt of the Pope to exert the like power in England. Uneasy apprehensions have been awakened within us by observing that, in the addresses, and resolutions and speeches, which that bold procedure has called forth in England, all the concern manifested has been for the distinct and special defence of what has been called—by a title unknown to the law—' the Church of England.' " We are convinced, indeed, that the silence which has been maintained in reference to the case of the Irish branch of the Church is, in most instances, to bo re garded as merely the result of the peculiar solicitude which men naturally feel for the part immediately as sailed, and which for the time banishes from their mind all interest in, or recollection of, every other part ; and we are persuaded that it would be wrong to understand it as conveying any wish to divide the United Church, or any opinion that, being united as it is, the interests of its component parts may be so dissevered that while both are exposed to the same hostile power, each may be content to defend itself, and still less, that the stronger may provide for its own safety by sacrificing its weaker associate. We trust that a great majority of those who have allowed themselves for a time to forget our case in their anxiety about their own, must be aware that any permanent disregard of it would be a grievous error in point of prudence as well as of principle. But knowing that differ e nt v i ews w ith re f erence to t h e eccle siastical esta b l i shment in the two countries are enter taed by not a few in England, and that some such ccoennsteitepreledted by comprtohmemis,e weas eweennhoatvebugt feel laneedu alarm is a a t c w t actually t evejvm.reayarteenddeteopglyiveimepffreecststed with theososhort- ic sigehotnevdatisocn thatheme. if the excitement now existing in England were to lead to the adoption of any measure calculated to impair the United t et Church,weportions e the i t completeness ecd o t.. f of f et th w e een h t i h n e teg u r n i i t o y n ing- would involve more i n j ury to the whole Church and to the country than any acts of th e B ishop of Rome, or any encroachment from without cou ld possibly eff Tile Irish branch might, and probably would, be the first sufferer from such false policy; but the English branch would ultimately be no less surely its victim. And how deadly a wound its fall would infliet upon ail that constitutes the happiness and greatness of that favoured country, we trus t it ma y not be doomed to know by unhappy experience. by both Houses the " Vie, confide, under God's good providence, i n y our Majesty' s w i s d om , guided and supported of Parliament, to avert all such evils, by maintaining union which happily exists between the countries and between the branches of the Church in both. How the aggressive proceedings of the Bishop of Rome ought to be guarded against and counteracted we do not presume to sugge3t. But we are anxious distinctly to state that we have no desire that they should be met by any restraints affecting the just .rights of conscience of any of your Majesty's subjects. It is our humble prayer that whatever may be the defensive measures determined on for securing the National Church against injury, the two portions of it may not be regarded or treated as having separate interests, but that one and the same legislative protection may be extended to both branches of the Church in common.

MEETING IN THE ROTUNDA. —A notification appears in the Dublin papers to the effect that " a general meet ing of Protestants opposed to Papal usurpation," will be held in the round-room of the Rotunda on Tuesday next; Mr. Grogan, one of the city Representatives, to preside. It is stated that " the Marquis of Duwnshire, the Earl of Roden, the Earl of Enniskillen, the Earl or Glengall, the Earl of Claucarty, Lord Dansany, Mr. George Alexander Hamilton, M.P.; Mr. Joseph Napier, M.P.; and several other influential peers and commoners have signified their intention of being present, and tak ing part in the proceedings." THE INCOME-TAX. If any tokens were wanting to denote the approach of the Parliamentary session, they would be supplied in abundance by the numerous meetings which are being held throughout the country with the view of obtaining relief from this or that particular tax. One financial reformer would pluck one plume from the wings of the Chancellor of the Exchequer; another, another. The result would be, if the demands of all claimants were satisfied, that Sir Charles Wood would have but an empty till to show when the public servant applied for his quarter's salary, or the public creditor for his half-year's dividend. We are not, however, about just now to cii•cuss the merits of these various applications. Oa proper occasions we have not been slow in declaring our convic tions upon the policy of extending relief from taxa tion rather in one direction than another, whenever the circumstances of the country do, in point of fact, admit of the extension of relief to the overburdened tax-payer. We would rather once again call atten tion to the propriety of modifying the method of assessing one tax in particular during the course of the ensuing session. Within a few weeks Sir Charles Wood and his colleagues must again meet the House of Commons upon the question of the income-tax. It appears tolerably clear that no Government will feel justified in allowing so important a head of in come altogether to slip through their fingers—they will demand a prolongation of their powers in this respect. Nor should we feel disposed to resist their appeal if the assessment of the tax were not carried through in a manner revolting to common justice and common sense. The time has arrived for de claring once again that the private income of the Minister issuing from real property or from the funds—or no matter from what source, so it be in fee-simple—is not identical for purposes of taxation with his official salary, even upon the assumption that for the time being they are represented by equal money values. Tno hardy 5,0001. per annum which has cast its roots deep into the soil of an English county, and the fugitive 5,0001. per annum which depends on the numbers of a slave squadron division in the House of Commons, or upon the general vicissitudes of public life, are very distinct matters. The point, however, is one which affects the welfare and comfort of that class of society in England which is destined to the largest share of struggle and anxiety. We defy all contradiction when we assert that in England the cares of life fell with most force upon professional men of moderate practice in their particular lines—on tradesmen of the tbird or fourth-rate classes—on clerks and employes of all descriptions whose means of livelihood are dependent upon the will or caprice of their employers, or upon the continuance of their own health and strength. Without pretending to affix absolute limits with the affectation of exact precision, we would say that in England the struggle for a livelihood and a position is the sharpest and most constant amongst men whose income, issuing from a profession or a trade, varies between 2001 and 1,0001. a year. Every turn of public opinion, every caprice of fashion, every accession of scientific know ledge, every legal or commercial reform, affects some one or other section of persons so situated. As a class there is little doubt that in England generally they are living beyond their means. This circum stance certainly supplies no motive for granting them any immunity from their fair share of taxation, but as certainly it affords no justification for taking them above measure, and aggravates their inability of sup porting financial injustice. The usual argument in favour of the present method of assessment is stated in a few words. In come is only taxed while it lasts; the assessment, therefore, is fair. Let us now suppose the case of a general practitioner in medicine—of a man who, by the most unceasing labour, by the utmost anxiety and carefulness, is earning his 5001. or 6001. per annum in a country neighbourhood. We will give him every professional advantage—he shall be me dical adviser in ordinary to the union in which he resides, he shall have contracted with the Grammar School and the young ladies' boarding establishment in the adjacent town to keep the systems of the pupils cool and comfortable for an annual sum cer tain. He shall be well with the squire ; a sound Churchman, and on dining terms with the rector ; but yet no violent party man, lest the Dissenting pneumonia of the country side should fly for relief to the opposition brass-plate in the county town. He can calculate the exact money-value of the aymotic, and strike an annual average upon the sporadic disease within his beat. Altogether he is in as comfortable and permanent a position as any member of his class can occupy. There is nothing wanting to complete his felicity. He occupies a square white house neatly slated, with a little pill-box of brick and mortar attached, in which he himself or his assistant—who has paid him a premium—spreads the " bergamy" pitch plasters, and " exhibits" the aloes and jalap. Behind the house is the stable with two stalls, whose inmates are never destined to enjoy each other's society, as Mr. Camomile drives one about all day and rides the other round the country all night. Now, at the end of the year, with all his riding and all his pill-rolling, the unfortunate practipners just manages to make both ends meet, for the time has come when little Johnny must go to school to be initiated in the niceties of Roman versification, with a view to making his way in the world at a subsequent period. The eldest daughter, Anna Maria, too, must be gently led in the direction of Cramer's exercises, and be instructed in the art of hem ming pocket-handkerchiefs. Poor Camomile, who was born with a kindly, genial soul, cannot but entertain the local dining club once a year at Opodeldoc-lodge, when the planned furniture of the dining and drawing-rooms is divested of its brown-holland epidermis, and even the tissue-paper which had been pinned round the brosal gilt frame of Mrs. Camomile's portrait for fear of fly-blows is removed for that night only. The expense of that entertainment, which exactly equals Camomile's over-payment to the income-tax, is probably the only expense throughout the year which will not bear the strictest investigation, but it helps, with his necessary outlays, to pull him down. The life no doubt is a hard one, a harder one than great Eoliticians wou ld r ea dily imagine, but still while 4t alth lasts it is tolerable, and not without its compensations to a man of honest and humane tem perament. But the night comes when poor Camo mile, who has been roused from his sleep to assist at a premature birth, at some seven or eight miles' dis tance from his own house, rides there through the pelting rain, and sits during the anxious night by the bed-side of his suffering patient in his wet clothes. A cough follows; he cuts off his dinner, but con- tinues his rides ; his symptoms become aggravated by exposure to the weather, and in a forte ight he is beyond the reach of his own skill, and in a fortnight and a day beyond saving by any physician upon earth. He goes where we all must go, but Mrs. Camomile, and Johnny, and Anna Maria awake from their dream of security to find that their means of support are gone as well. They must content themselves with beiag—as political economists would phrase it --absorbed into the population. That is to say, when the two horses and the planned and. other fur niture, and the house and the stock of drugs, and the galley-pots are sold up, there is just eno ugh to clear scores all round, and pay for the ouly spot. of earth in which Camomile had known the peacef al rest of an hour since the day h e first estahlishs d himself at Opodeldoc-lod ge . Why did he not insu re hi s lif e f or a few h un d re d pounds ? w ill b e t h e comr Dent of many a stron g - m i n d ed person upon this faint ci aline of alife. Simply because it pleased the Finance nini.ster of his country for the time being playfully to suppose that his income would inure to his children after him, and to mulct him accordingly. To b sure he might have dropped his annual entertainment to the members of the Hawthorn Dining Club—but then some of us come from one side of the Tweed, some from the other. It would be idle to contrast with such a career as the one we have so briefly indicated that of a quiet country squire in a small way, or of a fund bolder from his youth upwards with an income equal to that of our friend Camomile. Such an one needs but put his hand in his pocket, and it invariably comes into contact with a sovereign, with no necessity for exertion on his own part beyond that of fingering tne coin. As it was with himself, so it will be with his children after him. All they have to do is to keep clear of vice and folly, to eschew Capel court and its manifestoe, , , and the golden goose will regularly perform its act of incubation on their he. hoof. Yet we are to be told when it is proposed to introduce the system of direct taxation into the coun try that it is equi - able and honest to tax the pre carious income of the professional man in the same ratio as that of his more fortunate countryman. Income is income—that is true, no doubt—but if in comes from all sources are to be considered equiva lents for purposes of taxation, then it is tAn income tax the most impolitic, the most cruel, the most un just tax with which a working population of a country was ever afFlicted.—Tint,:s. THE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION AT WIGAN. On Friday morning last an inquest waa held at the Bowling-green Inn, Wigan -lane, before Mr. Grim sha w, on the bodies of Jeremiah Price and Ann Turton, who had been killed by the explosion of the boiler at Mr. Wood's colliery on the previous Thursday morn ing. John Winuard, the engine- tenter who had had charge during the night, and Thomas Topping, the en gineer who took charge in the morning, were examined, hut their evidence threw no light on the cause of the explosion, as they both declared that they bad found all right when they severally examined the boiler, and that they could assign no cause for its bursting. It was then agreed that the inquest should be adjourned till half-past five o'clock in the evening, and that in the meantime Mr. Peter John son, the foreman of the jury, together with Mr. Atherton, Mr. Swift, of the firm of Tickle and Swift, ironfounders Mr. Brack, boiler-maker ; and Mr. Joseph }hely, manager for Mr. Woods, should examine the boiler and report their opinions as to the cause of the explosion. The jury re-assembled at the hour appointed, when Mr. John son stated that he and the gentleman above-named had examined the boiler. They had collectively arrived at the opinion that as the lead plug at the top of the flue had not been melted there had been a sufficient supply of water in the boiler when the explosion rook place, and that, therefore, the men employed were innocent of any charge of neglect upon that head. Although the boiler had been worked beyond the usual time of cleaning out, they did not think that that fact had in any way contributed to promote the explosion, as the boiler was not more filthy than boilers usually are after being work d for two months. As regarded the cause of the explosion, they were of opinion that there had been a collapse of the tube or flue, caused by the vacuum inside the flue. The crude or black smoke emanating from the other two boilers might have ignited, as it appeared that they had all oeen fired in rapid succession, and the one that had exploded had been fired last. In reply to the jury, Mr. Johnson said that he had repeatedly worked boilers four mouths without cleaning. Working 641 b. to the inch upon the lever would increase the pressure to 79 on the extremity of the tube ; but the boiler was sufficient to resist this pressure if the iron was good. The jury, after a short consultation, re turned a verdict of Accidental Death. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, .lava. 23. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) The Court sat this morning for the purpose of dis posing of bail cases. PROSECUTION BY THE COMMISSIONERS OF INLAND RE VENUE FOR AN ASSAULT ON AN OFFICER. John Goldsmid, of 29, Alecklenburgh square, a member of the Stock Exchange and of an extensive firm in the City, surrendered in discharge of his bail, to meet the charge of an assault upon Mr. George Treveman, an officer of the Inland Revenue depart ment, whilst in the discharge of his duty. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Parry prosecuted at the suit of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue; Mr. Bod kin for the defendant. Dr. Bateman, solicitor to the Board, and Mr. Duelly, of the Inland Revenue department, were also in attendance. The case has excited consideraqle inte rest in consequence of the defence of an alibi being set up by the defendant, in answer to the charge. Mr. CLARKSON, in opening the case for the prose cution, said that he was instructed to appear at the suit of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, by whom the proceedings had been instituted, for an assault by the defendant, John Goldsmid, a member of the Stock Exchange, mad connected with a highly respectable family residing in Mecklenburgh-square, on the person of George Treveman, an officer of Ex cise, on the sth of October last. If the evidence that he should lay before them should satisfy the jury, he had no doubt they would he of opinion that an offence committed on an officer whilst in the discharge of his duty by a person moving in the sphere of life that the defendant did, was most inexcusable, and, if proved, shou:d be visited with a severe punishment. The Learned Counsel then detailed the facts of the case as proved in evidence. The defendant, he said, was represented by his Learned Friend Mr. Bod ki❑ ; but still he thought it would require more than ordinary ingenuity to rescue him from the present charge. He believed that it would be at tempted to screen him from the consequence of the act named in the information by throwing the onus upon some other person whose whereabouts was no where to be found. A summons was obtained and served at a house in question on the defendant, but the observation that was made when that sum mons was delivered he was not at liberty to give, though his Learned Friend might do so if he should think proper. On the part of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue be might say that they had no other feeling in the matter but to obtain justice against the defendant, should it be proved, of which he had no doubt whatever, that he was the person who com mitted the assault. Evidence was then given to show that, the prose cutor was assaulted by the defend at a public-house in the Haymarket, on the sth of October last. - The defence set up was, that at the time named the defendant was at Brighton with his friends; but, upon the cross• examination of the witnesses, their testimony was considerably shaken on certain material points. Mr. CLARKSON then replied, and inveighed in very severe terms on the character of the evidence that had been brought forward on the part of the defence, which he characterised a 3 utterly unworthy of credit. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence with great care, and pointed out the bearings of it as he proceeded. The jury instantly returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. PARRY said he was instructed, on the part of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, in consequence of their having omitted to insert a count in the in dietment for interrupting the officer in the execution of his duty, to ask for the highest punishment for the assault. The Learned JUDGE said that this was really the most painful case he had ever heard, and commented with the greatest severity on the wretched evidence that had been brought forward on the part of the de fendant. He could not think that the witness Win der was a man who ought to have control of a re spectable house, encouraging as he did persons to acts of dissipation. He perfectly agreed with the verdict of the jury, and the sent- , nce of the Court was, that the defendant be imprisoned in the House of Cor rection, Coldbath-fields, for three calendar months. The defendant was then removed in custody, and in a few minutes afterwards was conveyed to prison. The trial occupied nearly seven hours. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A middle-aged, respectably-dressed man, named Theophilus Smith, was brought up before Alderman Hunter and Sheriff Carden, charged with obtaining two pair of gold hand-spectacles, value about 61., from Messrs. Horne, Thornthwaite, and Co., opticians, of 123, Newgate-street, under fraudulent pretences. Police-constable 498 said, he searched the prisoner at the station, and found on him a great varietyof arti cles. (We give the list in full as it may probably tend to induce others to come forward to prefer charges against the prisoner, as there is every reason to believe that he has been carrying on a systematic course of swindling for some considerable time among persons in the above line.) 'lhe following articles were then handed up to the magistrates :--1 velvet pocketbook, containing a variety of papers and me moranda, 2 other pocketbooks, 1 metallic memoran dum-hook, 2 French purses, one containing ten pounds in gold and about seven shillings in small silver, a list of various articles of plate, a gold watch with no maker's name, a bunch of 16 small keys, and a safe-key, some opticians' catalogues, two new office penknives, a gentleman's pocket compen dium, with the name of " Pepys, 22, Poultry," inside as the maker, one pair of steel-ribbed spectacles, with the name of " William Youle, optician, 83, Leaden hall-street," on the case. In one of the pocket-books there was about 2s. 6d. in postage-stamps, four cards with the name of " Mr. W. Baker, surgeon," a letter addressed " Dr. Baker, ship Soubandar, Deal Har bour," a letter addressed " Captain Umfreville, ship SG:1;):1 1 :31r, D, al Harliour, sof.au tobacco, a receipt fur 101. 10s. for rent of 33, Cam bridge-street, tit. George's, Hanover-square; also a receipt for taxes -of the same house, both amounts received of a Mr. Green ; and the names and ad dresses of " Mr. T. M. Shelley," " Mr. R. Hay, of Beechynden-terrace, Southampton," "Mr. A. Key," and " Mr. Ingram, of Ebury-street, Pimlico." Remanded till Tuesday for further investigation. BOW-STREET. William Daniel Pye, a letter-carrier at the Pad dingtun district post-ofice, was charged with stealing a letter containing two half-sovereigns, and two four penny-pieces. The letter had been made up, with two others, and addressed to Mr. Spewing, of 3, Althorp-place, Re gent's-park, with the view of testing the honesty of the servants, a great many letters having been re cently lost by the inhabitants of the district, and es pecially by Mr. Sue wing. The letters were posted at St. Martin's-le-Grand, in the usual way, but the cash-letter in question was not delivered. Inquiries were then Made at the sorting-office of the Paddington receiv ing-house, and nine of the letter-carriers and sub sorters were searched, without avail. Eventually the prisoner, who arrived late, under went the same ordeal, and the letter and its contents were found secreted under the lining of his hat. The prisoner said he had placed the letter there for safety, without any guilty intention, and meaning ultimately to deliver it. Mr. HALL committed him for trial. WORSHIP--STREET. Francis Morgan, an athletic, determined-looking fellow of notorious character, was charged with the following robbery upon a lady named Frober, residing in Britannia-terrace, City-road. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix and that of a widow lady named Nash, that after spending the evening at the house of one of their friends on the Surrey tide of the water, they got into a cab in the Bleckfriars-road, between 11 and 12 o'clock, to proceed to the residence of the former lady, which they had almost arrived at, when, observing that the driver had turned down a wrong street, they lowered one of the windows and apprised him of his error. The cabman accordingly backed his horse, and was in the act cf turning again into the road, when the prisoner and two other men suddenly presented themselves at the window of the vehicle, one of whom hastily took off his hat, and flung it inside, while the prisoner at the same moment opened the door, and sprang in after it. The prosecutrix, although greatly alarmed, immediately raised the cry of "Police," and endeavoured to thrust out the man, who began strug ling with her, and, making a snatch at her boa, dragged it off of her neck, and was in the act of re treating with his booty, when the end of the boa was seized by the other lany, who held it fast, and after another, but abortive effort, to secure it, the prisoner relinquished his hold, and attempted to effect his es cape, but he was fortunately intercepted by a consta ble who was attracted to the spot by the screams of the ladies, and taken into custody. In answer to the charge, the prisoner stoutly pro tested bis innocence, and said that both the ladies were entirely mistaken in his identity ; but Mr. HAMMILL intimated that he had no doubt whatever as to the real facts of the case, and, ordering the depositions to be at once taken, fully committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial. CL ERKEN WELL. Messrs. Sherrard, Smith, and Butler, late gover nors and directors et' the poor of St. Andrew, Hol born, and St. George the Martyr, were summoned under an information to show cause why they refused to pay 651.164., alleged to have been applied by them fur purposes not applicable to the relief of the poor. Mr. Past)ley, the barrister, attended on the part of the Poor-law Board, and Mr. Duncombe for the de fendants. It appeared that on the occasion of the ill-treatment of the pauper children in the establishment of Drouet, at Tooting (the particulars of which are no doubt in the recollection of our readers), several of them died, and a coroner's jury returned a verdict of " Man slaughter " against Drouet, the principal of the establishment. The defendants were at that time governors and directors of the poor, and under an order from the Poor law Commissioners a prosecution was instituted against Drouet. Mr. Mitchener, the auditor appointed under the Act of Parliament, sub sequently audited the parish accounts, and after great attention and a creful examinatio❑ he came to a de cision that the above sum was misapplied, and he dis allowed it. He issued a certificate to that effect, in which be gave his reasons, complying with the statute, and called on the defendants to refund the money alleged to have been misappropriated. This day having ,been appointed for Mr. Tyrwhitt to give his decision upon the matter, the court was crowded to excess by the parish authorities, and con siderable interest was manifested. Mr. Pashley addressed the bench at considerable length on the part of the Poor-law Board, and said that Messrs. Sherrard and Butler hal acceded to the claim made upon them, but Mr. Smith resisted; and he (Mr. Pashley) now claimed the decision of the bench in favour of the auditor, Mr. Mitchener, and urged that costs with the full amount should be al lowed. 261. ss. was now claimed from Mr. Smith, which had been paid to one James Duncombe, who acted as solititor to the defendants. Mr. Butler, one of the defendants, now pleaded " Guilty" to the non-payment of 261.55. Mr. Hale Mitchener proved the audit mentioned in the information, and produced his certificate having reference to the audit and surcharge of the defen (ints ; also the certificate of the treasurer as to the non-payment of 261. s'. with reference to Mr. Smith. John Hardy, 205 S, the warrant officer of this court, proved the service of the summonses on the de fendants. Mr. Parish, one of the late governors and directors, identified the defendants. Heard Mr. Sherrard and Mr. Butler say they were ready to withdraw their plea of " Not Guilty." Mr. Samuel Stripling proved having served a dupli cate of the notice (now produced) on the parties. Mr. Charles Schofield, clerk in the Loedon and Westminster Bank, deposed that the governor and directors of St. A ndi ew's, Holborn, banked at that establishment. The cheque for 651. 16s. was cashed by him in March, 1849, and that item was inserted in the book of that date. Had no recollection of pay ing any other cheque for 65/. 16s. signed by three of the governors and directors of the parish of St. An drew, Holborn. Mr. Pashley wished it to be understood that there was no intention to cast any imputations on the de fendants. Mr. Duncombe, in a lengthened address, urged that his clients were not bound to pay the sum claimed from them ; it had been expended in an assessment of the parish. He contended that they ought not to have been brought into that court under the circumstances, and, if an order was made, that costs ought not to be inflicted upon them. Mr. Mit cheoer was quite safe, as he would be allowed the whole of his costs, and he must say that the Poor law Board and he (Mr. Mitehener), their representa tive, did not appear in that court with clean hands. Mr. TYRWHITT said he must make the order for payment of the sum claimed, but he wished for time to consider as to the costs. Mr. Pashley would not urge for the whole of the costs, but he would press for a reasonable amount. He would have the bill taxed by the Master in a re gular and legal way, and propose that half the costs should be paid, and this he did in a liberal spirit, and if they did not agree to this, he would press for the whole of the costs, for the attendance of witnesses, counsel, &c. Mr. TYRWHITT said, that this proposal ought to be considered by the defendants. He made the order, and said he would give his decision as to the costs on Thursday next. The parties then left the court. THAMES. William East, the youth who stands charged with shCioting Robert Ablett, a labourer, and against whom a verdict of " Manslaughter " was returned on Mon day last by a coroner's jury, surrendered on bail before Mr. Ingham. The particulars of this case have already b een f u ll y detailed, and the following additional evidence was now heard. _ Mr. S. T. Rowe, a surgeon, stated th a t h e h a d made a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased, and found that a bullet had penetrated the heart, which was the cause of death. The ball en tered on the right side below th e n i pple of the breast, took an oblique direction, and i n i ts course carr i e d away the cartilage of th e r ib . H e had no doubt the shot was fired from an elevation. Mr. Richard Stapp, a gunmaker, said he had made some experiments with a gun found in the prisoner's lodgings in London-street, Ratcliff, and fired it with a ball of the) same size as that taken from the de ceased's heart. He found that the gun, with about a drachm and a half or two drachms of gunpowder, would carry a shot more than 250 yards. He fired at a wooden target 250 yards distance, and the ball went past it and raked up the grass. Police sergeant Squire, No. 14 K, stated that he had measured the distance from the prisoner's yard or garden where he fired the gun to the deck of the Lively, where the deceased was shot, and it was exactly 244 yards. Jane Carries said that she lived in the same house as the prisoner, and that on the day the deceased was shot she saw him with a gun in his hand, and heard a report as if it had been fired off. Police•sergeant Squire said that there was a Mr. Lucas and other witnesses in attendance who could speak to their having frequently remonstrated with the prisoner on the impropriety of his firing off a gun in such a crowded neighbourhood. A man, who wile very boisterous, here expressed a wish to be examined for the prosecution, and said he was quite certain the gun used by the prisoner would not carry a ball so far as was represented. It appeared th.!:t be couhi 9 . !7. f:Gl' to such n. conclusion, and his testimony was disp e nsed with. Mr. Pelham, who attended for the prisoner, and who started many curious objections in his cross-exa. mination of the witnesses, said that a man who Was examined before the coroner stated that shots were fired from various* directions on the day the unfortu nate man met with his death. He was quite sure it would be impossible to make out by constructive dence that the shot fired by the prisoner was the one which killed the deceased. Mr. INGHAM did not know that. He wanted S witness who could identify the report of a gun at the back of London-street, where the prisoner lived, With the fall of the man who was shot. Squire said he was not prepared with that evidence at present, but the mate of the Lively, who saw the. deceased fall, and who was only two or thre e fee t from him at the time, was present. e rely The mate of the Lively was recalled, and he m repeated what he bad before stated, that he was deck, when he saw deceased put his hand to his oreas.! t and exclaim, " Oh, my God, I am shot!" a nd 61 dead immediately afterwards. He heard the re p ort of a gun, but he could not say in what direction the shot came Mr. INGHAM said, the police must endeavour to bring forward some witnesses who could identify r ti_; report of the g u n fi re d by th e p r i s oner with the la! of the deceased. He should again remand the Pri• soner on bail, until to-morrow (this day). Mr. Pelham said. that although the coroner's:Pl% had returned a verdict of manslaug hter aga i n st ° prisoner, the coroner, who had some doubts about r_A case, had very prop e rly and v ery feelingly direct. : the officer who held the warrant of committal not execute it until after the examination before the gistrate, and he did so for two reasons. The cora.; did not wish his jurisdiction to clash with that of t he magistrate ; and, secondly, he was desirous that the P and his sureties should not forfeit the re t. c e ; nisances they bad entered into, which would ' B r ie been the case if the warrant had been executed the verdict was returned. He had now to reques t e r magistrate to direct the officer who held the war ra nt not to execute it until his Worship had given hi' fi nd decision in the case. • h th e Mr. INGHAM said he could not interfere w it h th e direutb.re execution of the coroner's warrant. He was to t h s f ,i tisfied that all the evidence that could be give ° r i. been given, and he had therefore remanded the P o . sonar on the same terms as b e f o r e ; an d was now r ss to take bail for him, if he was prepared with it. re , Mr. Pelham—lf he puts in the same bail as halo ,s and is immediately taken into custody on the cor °l ?
