A .letter from Kalisch, in the Constitutional Journal of Bohemia says :—" Prince PASKEWITSCH returned to Warsaw on the 10th. 'He was accompanied by Generals BOUSToURLEIN and ARToRIEFF, and his son TuEODORS, one of the Aides-de-Camp of the EMPEROR. Several generals, who had awaited the return of the Prince, met him at the railway station. The Prince displays great military; activity, which is connected with the extensive camp to be formed and the ap proaching arrival of the EMPEROR. M.

In . a review in the Expositor of this week of Mr. Weale's work, entitled " Lonr!on Exhibited in 1851," we find the following paragraph;— •' In the statistical part, spa king of the London tress, our author says, The evening papers, since the estab lishment of the morning mails enabled the morning papers to reach the country district=, are of diminished importance.' Now substitute early railway trains' for morning mail,' and the statement will bepardy correct. The London morning papers sent by early trains arrive at many large towns before the morning mails start from LonJpu. but; still we cannot say we consider the con tents of such an ev.ning paper as we find The Sun diminished in importance. The third edition of this paper' often con►ains 'the whole of a debate; which, being dispatched by the evening mail, reaches important towns in many parts, cspecillty the north, by post, ten and twelve hours earlier than the morning papers sent off by the first trains, so that few reading and news rooms, public institutions, or first-rate:hotels, are with out that journal. Our author states as a matter of curio sity that one firm of newsagents take as many as 5,000 copiea .of one weekly paper.- We may be allowed to state, if it is a matter the public care to know anything about, that Messrs. Joseph Clayton and Son, news agents, 265. Strand, supply nearly ,double that number of our journal alone to their numerous staff of country agents." Mr. Henry Berkeley, the Member for Bristol, has received a requisition from his constifbents, to deliver a lec ture in Bristol on the subject of the Ballot. The Hon. Member was to deliver his lecture last evening, and has made it a condition tlirt it shouli be for the benefit of the new hospital about to be erected in that city. SPIRIT of . the PUBLIC JOURNALS. T p tlES.—lt has been rumoured for some time that there existed an intention of cutting a. public ride in Kensington-gardens. We bare refrained from noticing the scheme because we did not wish to call down need less Unpopularity on the heads of its originators. It seems, however, that the thing is to be. unless some stern and urgent protest be made against the desecration of the only spot in London which gives promise of quiet and seclusion. What occasion is there for such an act of wanton aggrassiosi? The gardens, as they stacd, are for the convenience of persons who cannot mount on horseback, and seek green fields and quiet at a distance from the bustle of the town. The proposed change is for the iisnefit of Equestrians alone—of persons who within 15 or 20 minutes from mounting might shake cif the town; and find quiet cantering-ground on any side of LondOn they please. The monopoly of Hyde-park fur one your at list4t should be a sufficient concession to the msnagers of the Great Exhibition.• But, it is answered, there is a third interest concerned. Whit is to become of tha equestrians who, during the course of the Lotman season. were in the habit of taking their exer die and meeting their friends in Rotten-row? Now,we are tuiiy prepared to admit that, even if their accustomed rile had not elreany been rzia:ked out for the exclusive use d,carriages, &e., it is impossible to make use cf Hort ii-row as a public rids white the Exhibition lasts. We acknowledge also, to its fulaist extent, the propriety of pru . vidlog a suitable riding-ground for the use of those persona who had been in , the habit of taking their pile pransise c , nter in Rotten-row. There is no reason that michkr--aged gentlemen with a tendency to run to fat should be exposed to a leegibeeed series of dyspeptic phenisusene because of the Great Exhibition. Even settlin g their piteous case aside, we are of those .e who think tha t ' London h as few sights which can D i . _, g Y. tn P 4 r , d in beisul with the public ride in ll "sPatk towards the close of a summer's day wash the, season is at its height. . There is no conts n.en!al capital w hi c h can pie, at .a sp ectacle half so gra tifying to the .y e or t h e pr id e of an Englishmen. The Champs Elystzs or the Bois de Boulogne at Paris, the Cascine of Fl Trance, yield hut pale imitations of the puolio ride in Hyde-park when the throng o f r ider s ie e s its fullest - ' ' Wer e n o t th e feelings of a ~,,c i i on of the public who have a right to cie eseleration concerned in this matter, we should vir;se ,to see the mere show preserved as the Isis; expression of the wealth and beauty of the Bri tish empire. .Having said thus much it will be clear that we do not approach the aubj , cr, in any spirit of vulgar fanaticism We would with to see the rights and pleasar preserved intact. Let th e es of all P'rjes Great Exhibition be provided . with a Acting car riage ':approach, and Let the riders in the Park be also' accommodated with a suitable can tering -ground. Bat both these results may he ob tained without desecrating the single spot in London rotted which the charm of seclusion still lingers, and without inflicting great and unnecessary annoyance on a 7?PigvLb ourhood w isi c t i hes alrOttly. suffered .so severely r_r_wnthe proiimity of the Exhibition. The question remains this form :—Where are the riders to go who wher§is temporarily dispossessed of Rotten-row? , a public ride to be laid out for their use? The answermuperieedy clear.

Ono or other would answer, although, for reasons which we owit for the moment, the first proposition would seem to offer most convenience to the riders. They would not sensibly be disturbed from their old ground. They would ent- r the park by the old gate, simply b •aring away a little to the right, in place of entering RuLten.row to the left. It is at this moment as poßsible for Lord Seymour and his friends to elect for Hyde-park es fir Kensington-gar dens. We bid them fairly be warned of the storm of unpopularity which will be the consequence of their act, if they persist in the latter resolution. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DINNER TO ADDIIRAL SIR J.

REALM . of LONDON during the WEEK, (.From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The return for the week ending last Saturday ex hibits a further improvement in the public health. Tae deaths in boncloo, which in the last week of March rose to 1,418 and declined in the two subtle• queut weeks to 2,059 and 1,042, have now fallen to 998. It appear. from a comparison of the ten corre sponding weeks in 1841-50, that the deaths of last week were exceeded in only one instance, namely, in 1849, when they rose to 1,089. If the average of co.responding week., wticb was 934, be increased in the ratio of supposed increase of population, it be comes 1,019, and on this estimated amount the pre• sent return shows a decrease of 21. As compared with the results of the preceding week, both the class of "diseases of the respiratory organ,. and that termed " tuber cu la r, " of which phtti,is is the most important, now exhibit a dimi nishe ob served i m n ortality.

ARREST OF THE NOTORIOUS KING OF THE " JIGGERMEN." The notorious Charles Barnett, of No. 9, Robin Ilood-court, Shoe-lane, the " King of the Jigger men," has at length fallen into the hands of the officers of justice. His career has been a most re markable one, as having been for years past en gaged in illicit distillation, and connected with neatly all the private distilleries in and around Landon, together with his hair-breadth 'stapes from detection, have earned for him amongst his com panions the title of "King of the Jiggermen." A man was arrested by the supervisor of Buckingham at the latter end of last year carrying illicit spirits, and from some papers found in his possession a clue was obtained that the same had been supplied by Barnett, and consequently Mr. Scott, the s uperintendent of the detective officers, was sent by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue to make inquiries, and he succeeded in tracirg the different package s of spirit to Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and other parts of England. He having suspicion that spirits were secreted at Barnetea house, proceeded thither, ac companied by Mr. Chaster and several police-officers. Upon seeing them enter the house Mrs. Barnett, who knew the object of their visit, took up a large vessel filled with spirits, and threw them on to the fire, and it was with difficulty the house was preserved from de struction from the immense body of flame produced therefrom. For this offence he was adjudged before the Commissioners to pay a penalty of 1001. A levy war rant waeiramediately issued and acted upon; after which a body warrant was taken out for the arrest of Barnett, who by etratagent and cunning had eluded many at tempts at his apprehension, and particularly on one oc casion, when the officers were closest his heels in the house, hut be then baffled them by escaping by the roof of the house. in consequence, therefore, of the difficulty attending the arrest of this notorious smuggler, the Commissioners of Inland Revenue offered a re ward of 20/. for his apprehension. Accordingly, on Saturday morning lest, at an early hour, the active detective officers, Me,srs. Elmy, Pargeter, and Chaster, having taken all necessary precautions, pro ceeded to an obscure house at Islington, and some police-cfficers being placed so as to cut off all chance of escape, they knocked at the door, and on a person's hand being seen cautiously opening it, it was in stantly seized by Mr. Elmy, and on forcing open the door the person turned out to be the farsfamed Cnar!es Barnett, but so completely disguised that it is stated it would have been difficult even by those to whom ha is well known to identify him.

Sergi wit ADAM, Assistant Judge ) ;John Thonas Co; 16, wet-, indicted for unlawfully publishing and having fur sale a number of obscene and indecent prints ani publications. Mr. C:ark.on opoented for the prosecution (which was institutes by the 30cietty for tne Suppression of Vice); and Idr. Pope for the prisoner. The evidence in stpport of the prosecution was shortly this :—lnspector Lewis, of the Thames Police, who was also an offictr under the Board of Customs, and Police•sergeant Chadwick, went to b shop kept by the prisoner, No. 4 Holywell-street, and there, in the prisoner's presence, and without any opposition on his part. took possession of a large quantity of window-tickets and in immense number of prints (chiefly French) and books, which were now pro duced, and which were of a must disgusting cha racter. Mr. PAYNE, on behalf of the prisoner, said he had no defence whatever to offer with reference to the morality or immorality of the prisoner's conduct, but he contended tbatin point of law the evidence did not tender the prisoner liable to conviction, inasmuch as it was not shown that he had the prints and books in his possession openly and expressly for the pur pose of selling them, as the indictment charged, to her Majesty's subjects, or that he had exposed them in a manner that infringed the law. The prisoner was charged simply with having them in his possession, with intent to sell and publish, and that, he submitted, was not sufficient. The L-arned JUDGE, in summing up, told the jury that in his opinion, if they were satisfied that the pri sonar had toe horrible prints and books produced in his possession with the intention of publishing and selling them, they would he perfectly justified in finding him guilty, intimating at the same time, that if the prisoner's counsel thought proper to take the point he had raised to the Court of Criminal Appeal, there would be no objection to his doing so. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. CL&RKSON said that in 1847 a similar seizure had been made upon the prisoner's premises, when an immense number of prints, &c., were destroyed, but the society did not prosecute him on account of his family, and he sent a letter, which he (Mr. Clark son) would now band to the Court, to the solicitors of the society. (The letter was handed to tho lacnoh.) 'rho Learned J ones read the letter. It was as follows : " 10, Holywell-street, Nov. 19, 1847. Gentlemen,—l am desirous through your medium to express to the committee of the Society fur the Suppres sion t.f Vice the very grateful feelings they have ex cited, by sparicg myself and family from the disgrace and ruin which must inevitably have fallen upon them and myself, had the prosecution which im peuded over me been permitted to proceed. Much 05 the time that has elapsed since the committee had the goodness to pardon my fault has been spent in serious reflection on the nature and consequences of the offAice I committed, ihich I view with so much detestation and abhorrence as to make it impossible that any temptation of profit, or any degree of security that could be offered against detection or punishment, amount iug even to a certainty of escape, could shake for one moment my fixed ele , ermination to abandon for ever a:1 traffic in these infamous and dangerous productions. It is, indeed, greatly to be deplored that any such publics ti.ns ever should have existence, or that writers can be found so thoughtless of the consequences to society, and so lost to shame as to prostitute their talents to the com pilation of works so eminently calculate' to undermine the virtue of youth, and to spread contagion and immo rality in every rank, at,cl I entreat the committee to be lieve that not only shall I never again suffer any such pollution to reach my possession, but that to the utmost of my power I shall discountenance and denounce every attempt to give them circulation by others when any such shall come within my observation or knowledge. Such, gentlemen, are the sinc,,re and contrite sentiments of my heart, in the expression of which I find great relief and pleasure, and which I have to beg you will do me the favour of laying before the committee at the first Convenient opp,rtuuity, and taking leave to repeat my very greatful thanks for the lenity they have shown me, of which I am firmly resolved to prove myself worthy, " I remain, Gtnthaten, with great respect, Your most obedient servant, "JoHN TnolgAs Cox. " Messrs. Pritchard and Co., Liticoitei.lnn-tields." Tae Learned JUDGE then proceeded to say that the Court required no other grounds for pas,ing a severe sentence than those stated by the prisoner himself in his letter. The sentence of the Court was (and he was sincerely sorry he had not the power to award hard labour) that he be imprisoned in the House of Correction for two years, that he afterwards should enter into his own recognizance of 501, wit h two sure ties of 251. each, to be of good behaviour for one year, and be imprisoned until such recognizance and sure ties be entered into. Emma Thomas, a respectably-dressed young 'woman, was indicted for stealing from the person of Wilhelmina Wagner a purse, and the sum of Si. ss. 6d. Mr. Addison appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Kinloch, a tradesman in Jermyn-street, stated that, on the 7th inst., he was in an omnibus going from the Haymarket to the City, and the prosecutrix was also a passenger in the same vehicle. In the Hay market the prisoner and two other females entered the omnibus. The prisoner sat next to him, and the other women took sears on the opposite side, next to the prosecutrix. One of them had a basket, and he saw her hand fumbling about the prosecutrix's dress. Directly afterwards she gave a significant nod to the prisoner, who thereupon desired a pas senger who sat nearest the door to request the conductor to stop, which be did, and the prisoner and the two women, with whom she entered the omnibus, got out. Witness noticed in the band of the woman who bad the basket, the end of a scarlet purse, where upon be spoke to the prosecutrix, and having ascer tained that she had been robbed, he got out of the om nibus and, accompanied by the prosecutrix, followed the women. The one that had the basket got away. When the women got out the omnibus was at the Golden-cross, Cnaring-cross, and he followed the prisoner and one of her companions round into Tra falgar-square. They crossed over towards Spring gardens, when, perceiving that they were followed, they ran towards a court. They parted at the end of Spring-garden-mews. He followed the prisoner, captured her, and had her taken to Scotland-yard in custody. The other got away. The prosecutrix, a German lady, proved that when she entered the omnibus, her purse, which was a scarlet one, and which contained a .51. note and ss. 6.1. in silver, was safe in her pocket, and that when Mr. Kinloch spoke to her it was gone. Police-constable Budd, 59 A, produced a purse, which he found torn in two in Spring- gardeh-mews, near the spot pissed by the woman who got away. The prosecutrix identified the purse as hers. Mr. ADDISON, in his address to the jury, said the prisoner was a respectable woman, the wife of a car ver and gilder, and tlie mother of a family. Her answer to the charge was, that on the day in question she was proceeding from her home to the Westmins ter Hospital, in reference to the case of one of her children, who was deformed, and that it was purely by accident that she got into the omnibus with the two other women spoken of. The reason she got when they did was, that when the omnibus stopped to let them out she found that she was going in the wrong direction, and therefore took that opportunity to leave the vehicle. It was entirely by accident that she was mixed up in this transaction, the woman she walked towards Spring gardens with having, at her request, undertaken to show her the nearest way to Westminster Hospital, which, she said, was through Spring-gardens and thence through Storey's gate. Mrs. Gordon, a woman of respectable appearance, said, the prisoner was a married woman and the mother of a family. She was a person of unques • tionable character. One of her children was de formed. She lived in the Old Kent-road. The Learned JoDag summed up the case with great minuteness, and remarked that it was unex. plained how it was that whilst the prisoner lived in the OA Kent-road,she took an omnibus in the Hay market to go to Westminster Hospital. 'me jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner, who had cried bitterly throughout the trial of the case, on hearing the verdict, exclaimed, " Oh, thank God 1" and she left the court with a number of persons who appeared to be anxiously awaiting the result. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. An elderly man, named Thomas Gordon, was charged with obtaining money by representing that he had claims on the Government. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner took apartments at No. 2, Bedford-row, Streatham, representing that he was a half-pay lieutenant in the navy, and would on the 23d inst. be entitled to 1001 as pension, in confirmation of which he requested of Mrs. Pearce, the landlady, to accompany him to the Admiralty to get the money, and to assist him with five shillings to defray the expenses of his journey there and back, to which she agreed; but on arriving with her at Whitehall he contrived to slip aside, and after a short absence came back to say that the money would not be paid until the next day, in consequence of which they remained in town, and at the hour ap pointed next day, having made the same excuse, he made inquiries of the messenger, who informed her that no such person was entitled to a pension of the Admiralty, and that several frauds had been practised by such means. He was then given in charge. The prosecutrix's sister, who corrooorated her statement, stated that the prisoner had said in her hearing that he was entitled to pris' money, having fought at the battle of Angiers ; that his toes had been carried away by a shot on board the Ocean in the engagement. Sergeant Thornton, a detective officer, said that several cases of a similar descripdou could be brought against the prisoner if he was remanded. The prisoner being closely questioned by the ma gistrate, said be had been a mate on board a collier, APRIL and bad been a number of years in India, and also referred to Cdptaia Eden, who he aid would give him a character. Mr. HENRY, considering the case required further investigation, ord. , red the prisoner to be remanded. CLERKEA WELL. John Henry Eaton appeared to his biil, to answer the charge of having violated RizA Smith, a pauper girl in the workhowe of St. Pancras. The particulars of the case have already been de tailed in our columns. The most intense interest was manifested, and the court was crowded to excess by the parish authorities and others who felt an interest in the case. Mr. Ballantine attended for the prosecution ; and Mr. Richard Field, on account of the London Society for the Protection of Young Females, was also in at. tend ance to watch the proceedings. Mr.Huddlestun, with Mr. Wontner, attended fur the defence. What took place was a mere reiteration of wha occurred on the first examination, and the Wendt= was remanded. MARYLEBONE. Sarah Collyer, the young woman who has been twice examined before Mr. Long, upon the charge of having murdered her &male infant, was again placed at the bar, when, after Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, hail read over the whole of the depositions taken by him at some length (the particulars have already appeared), the prisoner, who said that she was delivered of the child in the street, and that it was not born alive, was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Bartholomew, potman to Mr. Street, Trevor Arms, and Charles Brown, son of Mr. Brown, land lord of the Somerset Arms, with their two assistants, John Furger and John Ryan, were brought before Mr. Hard wick, charged with unlawfully selling beer at the Crystal Palace, Hyde-park, contrary to the Act of Parliament of 2d and 8.1 Victoria, cap. 47, sec. 7. Mr. Thomas Westbury Hall, cashier to Messrs. Fox and Henderson, the contractors, stated that for some time past considerable anxiety had been mani fested as to the completion of the Exhibition building within the time allowed by the Commissioners, in consequence of a number of the men getting drunk during the hours of work, and on Monday last, thrmirrh several of the men being in liquor, and excit ing others to join thew, the contractors were under the necessity ofnr-er.;ng th. whole of the men. about 2,460, to leave off work at half-past five o'clock. With a view to discover how the men contrived to get drink sufficient to make them drunk, he went that morning, by order of Messrs. Fox and Hender son, round the building, when he found the defendants selling beer to the workmen. Directly they saw him they offered to sell him some, when, according to instructions received from the Executive Committee, he gave them in charge. lu defence, Bartholomew and Brown said they had been in the habit, ever since the commencement of the building, of selling beer there, and they had ever received any orders to the contrary. They, therefore, were not aware that they had been infring ing the law. Mr. Hall said they must have been aware that they were acting wrong. Bills containing an abstract of the Act 21 and 3d Victoria had been stuck up about the building for some time, and they must have known that the sale of beer, or any other excliseable liquor, was prohibited in the park. The men were allowed to have beer supplied to them when they worked all night; and if it was not for some strin gent restrictions against the supply of malt liquors to the men during working hours, many accidents would happen. On Monday a man fell through the glass and was killed on the spot. A few minutes atter wards another man was found lying drunk and asleep close by the same spot. Mr. HARDWICK said the defendants could not have been thole so long without their conduct attracting the notice of some of the authorities. They were obliged to carry large cans, which the police, who were acquainted with the rules issued by the com mittee, could not fail to see. He was, however, of opinion that the defendants had acted more in error than otherwise, and would endeavour to put them in the right. He (Mr. ffirdwick) supposed that they allowed beer to be sold to those persons who brought heavy goodi to the Exhibition ? Mr. Hall said there was no exception made in the rule to any parties; the only object the committee had in view was to prevent accidents. He (Mr. Hall) added that Mr. Younghusband, the refreshment con tractor for the Exhibition, had provided a room on purpose for the accoinmodaion of the workmen,where they could have a good dinner and a pint of beer for eightpence. There was a clause in the bond entered into by Mr. Younghusband, conjointly with the Executive Committer, compelling him to supply the workmen at that low price, and he was also bound not to supply any of the men with beer after two o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. HARDWICK said there was a clause in the Act which gave him the power to inflict a penalty of 40, for each offence, but as it appeared to him that they had been labouring under some mistake, he would, under the particular circumstances, reduce the fine to 24., in reference to BArtbolomew and Brown the other two defendants, who had acted as assistants, he should discharge with a caution. 4 1 016 S HIP-S 7 REET. A young man, named Joseph Samuel, surrendered to his bail for further examination, before Mr. Arnold, charged with an assault of an aggravated de scription upon the person of his mother's servant, Elizabeth Davey, 15 years of age. Mr. Wontner conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson, barrister, appeared for the defence. It having been intimated by the magistrate that he proposed at present to extend the bail for a week, for the purpose of having the notes of the evidence re duced to regular depositions, preparatory to the de , fondant's committal upon the charge, Mr. Clarkson rose and said, that he should avail himselt of that opportunity to call the magistrate's attention to a report of the former proceedings, which had appeared in one of the papers, and which was written in a manner calculated to be of serious detri ment to the character and interests of the defendant. It was only justice to the gentlemen employed to furnish reports of the cases occurring at the different courts to say, that they were in the habit almost in variably of discharging their duties with perfect fair ness and impartiality- ; but in this instance he had to complain that only that portion of the evidence which went to aggravate the case against his client bad been inserted in the publication in question, and that it was altogether a most unfair and one-sided report of the proceedings. Mr. AarioLn said that be had himself noticed the report to which the Learned Gentleman referred, and that he fully concurred in his observations respecting it. After a brief diseu‘sion as to the propriety of in troducing into the depositions the evidence given by the mother of the accused at the first examination, the same bail was formally extended for the final ap pearance of the defendant on Wednesday next. A man named Thomas M'Arthy, described as a costermonger, was charged with an infamous assault upon a little girl, named Agnes Nayson, six years of age. Evidence was given against the prisoner by the complainant and another little girl of the same age, but the details were wholly unfit for publication. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was ordered to be remanded for a week. LAMBETH. The court was much crowded by persons to prefer charges ag dust a young woman, named Mary TVilson, who has been in custody for some days, and who was brought before Mr. Elliott for final examination. Tne prisoner has been for some months carrying on a must successful system of plunder by stripping the children of re,pectable tradesmen of their cloths, and by various promises and representations coaxing them out of parcels and such property as they might be entrusted with ; and the police, atter a long and a sharp look-out, ultimately succeeded in securing her. As many as twenty charges could be clearly esta blished against her ; but Mr. Elliott deeming four cases selected from the number sufficient to answer the ends of public justice, the deposici,ns were taken in them, and the prisoner fully committed fur trial. THE ROBBERY AT THE WALTHAM ABBEY GUVERNM ENT POWDER-WORKS. WALTHAM, APRIL 22.—The four men charged with being concerned in the da r i ng robbery effected on the n i g h t o f the Bth instant, at the Storekeeper's office of the Royal Powder-works, nt ar this town, were brought up for re-examination this day, before the bench of ma gistrates. who, on this occasion, sat in the newly-erected County Court. Mr. Charles Preston, chairman of the bench, presided, and among the other magistrates present were Mr. John Griffiths, Mr. John Speed Davis, Mr. John Parnell, and Mr. Richard Arabin. The prisoners were brought from Ilford gaol, in the custody of the governor of the prison at an early hour. At twelve o'clock they were brought before the bench. Th. engirt, from the moment the doors were opened, was densely crowded. 'rtio prisoners answered to their 'tames as George Rowe, John Cornish, Charles Ere, and Jesse Griffiths. , Mr. Prentice, a barrister, instructed by Mr. Clarke, so licitor to the Board of Ordnance, iippeari d for the pro secution. Mr. Parnell, the barrister, appeared for the prisoner Charles Eve ; Howe was defended by Mr. John Welt-ling, solicitor, of Clerkenwell ; Corni h by Mr. Sidney Srnith, of 11 , rnarifs Inn ; and Griffiths by Mr. Massey, of Edmonton. Mr. Pieuiii e briefly stated the case for the prosecu tion, and eaid that he prep ised to charge Cornish and Evo with the robbery. Griffitha as en accessory before and afti r the fact, and Rowe with receiving the goods, knowing them to have been stolen. The first witness called was Mr. Henry Topping. He said—l am the storekeeper at the Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Works. Th e r e is an i ron chest in a closet adjoining my office. On the mornin g O f the Bth instant I placed in that chest eighteen 20/. notes, and 961. 18s. 2d. in gold, silver, and eopper moneys. There were nearly as many half-sovereigns !mercies gold mono. There we,4 b o w s , he UST. 24, 1851. about 121. in gold and silver of my own money is the chest. The whole of the other money was the propi-rry of the Board of Ordn ance . 11.-f t my afice between half-past one and half-past two o'clock on the Bth. The money was sale than. I first heard of the rubbery about ball-past six on the following morning. I found the office door open, and the chest presenting all the appearance of having been forced open by gun powder. The numbers of the stolen notes are from, 96.364 to 96.379, and 74,314 and 74,322. I know Cornish and Ifive. They were termed unli-m,u. I be lieve that Captain Tallith can speak more positively as to this. John Barker examined—l sm ofce•keeper and mes senger at the Royal Gunpowder Works. I remember having locked the door of the outer ,ffice on the evening of the Bth instant, about 20 minutes past 5 o'clock. I put the key in my pocket, and went into my garden, which adjoins the office. From this place I should have a view of the office, but not t , f the door. I afterwards came home to my cottage, near the entrance-gate, and hung up the key as usual. I locked the ou er door and ono inner door, and I saw that the other inner door was shut. Iwtnt to the office next morning about ten minutes past six o'clock. The outer doer was un locked. On entering, I found the shutter of the lobby open, and the window flung up; this window was be fore I got to the tint inner door. The inner door had been forced open, and was in splinters. I saw that the next inner door bad also been broken open, and then I came away. I went and asked the master mixer, John Fleming, to come and look. He came, and I then locked the outer door, and went for Mr. Topping, who came with other gentlemen. I know Cornish and Eve. '['hey were mixing-house men and watchmen, and would, i❑ turn, be on duty as night watchmen. Their rounds on Sunday and on holiday nights would be where this office was. William Lane was next called. After the oath had been administered, Mr. el riffiths, addressing the witness from the bench, said in his capacity as a magistrate, he had understood that ho had been threatened, in the event of his giving any information as to the robbery. The bench were desirous he should understand that he might rely upon them for protection, and they hoped the witness would not be afraid to speak the truth. The witness thanked the magistrate, and proceeded to make the following extraordinary statement:— I am a gunsmith employed at Enfield-lock, and reside at Waltham Abbey. I know the tour prisoners. I re member bring at Rowe's puhlic-house on the evening after the robbery, about eight o'clock. Griffiths was there when I went in. He called me out of the tap worn, and we went together outside of the door into the yard. He said, " Bill, I suppose you have heard of what was done last night?" " What?" I said. He re. plied, " The robbery at vie Powder M►lls." I said, "Yes." He said. "Cornish and Eve are the two that done IL" I said, " How do you know?" He replied, "I fetched the tools from Frank Harvey's field, and gave them to Cor nish." Frank Harvey's field is just below the Compasses. Griffiths added, " I had to be in it, but I was shoved out of it:" We retured into the house. Rowe was there. He said tome, " What has Jess been saying to you?" I said, " Nothing." He then said, " What have you been saying to Jess?" 1 replied, " Nothing." Rowe, then, making me of an oath, said, " -- your eyes, I will make you as right as myself it I get hold of the notes." I said, " Hold your tongue, you can tell me another time." Nothing else took place that night. Charles Colverd, Edward Speller, Charles Eve, and his brother, Joseph Eve, were present at the" time. I can't say that these persons heard what Rowe esti(' to me. Grifh hs, I think, did. On the Thursday evening I again went to Rowe's house about seven or eight o'clock. When I • went in Cornish an•l Rowe were in the tap-room by themselves. I was there about an hour; nothing took place during that time, but as I h.ft the house Rowe fol lowed me out and said, "Cornish wants me to go to London and see-what I can get for the notes." He said, " I shall g ► up in the morning with King the horse deal. r." He told me •here were eighteen 201. notes. On the following day I was at the Compae-es from halt-past tour to five. I saw Rowe then: He said, " I have been to London, and I can get 15/. for each of the 20/. notes, which will make 2701." He added, "I have net got the notes yet, but I expect Cornish will come down with them to-night; he promised me he would." I stopped there till about eight o'clock. I then went out, and said to Rowe, "Has he been?" He said, "Yes; but be does not like to let m•e have the notes, for fear I should stick to the lot." He added that Cornish had said, "It would be a pretty thing if he stuck to the lot, and did us all out of them." Rowe said he had told Cornish that if he was afraid to let him have the whole Of the notes, to let him have half, and he would get the money for them first. About ten o'clock on the same night Rowe came to my house and asked me to lend him my stick. I asked him, " Have you got the notes?" He said, "Yes." He added, " I have a great mind to go off to-night. I shall get there before they get to bed." On the Saturday, about six o'clock in the even ing, Rowe came to my house, and beckoned me out. He says, " Here's a pretty thing, I can only get rid of two of those notes out of the eighteen." I asked " Why ?" He said, " Because they had not got the banker's signs• lure on them." I did not uncli-rstand what he meant. He said he bad got 30/. for the two notes he had•chango-d. and that he should stick to. He said be should return the other notes to Cornish. I have seen Rowe since the Saturday. On the Tuesday following I was attacked by Joseph Eve in the market-place for accusing him of be ing in the robbery. I asked him "-Who said su?" He told me John Cornish. I said I had not; I never knew nothing about it, and of course 1 could not say nothing. On Tuesday night I saw Rowe, and told him of the cir cumstances. He said, " Never mind what he says; take no notice of it. If anybody asks you anything about the robbery you know nothing about it." He then took me into his house, and said, "-- your eyes, have a glass of brandy ;" and he gave me one. On the Sunday after the robbery I went into Rowe's taproom. Rowe was there, and some other gentleman.—(Laughter.) I said to Rowe, " Where is my shillelagh?" He called me on one side, and said, " You -- fool, why don't you mind what you say—that is a detectiie police." After sone other unimportant evidence, Mr. Prentice asked the Bench to grant a remand. Mr. Parnell and the oilier legal gentlemen strove hard to get their respective clients admitted to bail, but the Bench unanimously refused the application, and decided on remanding the prisoners until Tuesday next. FATAL IRISH AFFRAY. On Saturdaday an inquiry wee commenced before Mr. John Wood, the coroner of York, into the cif.- curnst inces attending the death of James Flannery, an Irishman, who died that morning in consequen ce of the savage treatment he had received at the hands of some other Irishmen on the Thursday be fore. In the neighbourhood of York, chicory is cultivated to a very large extent by the farmers, and owing to the Irish being employed to a consi derable event by them for the last few years, an extraordinary number of the peasantry of the sister country have locateel themselves within the walls of the city. The result has been frequent disturbances in Bedern and Longclose-lane, where they chiefly reside, and it was in the latter street that the fetid occurrence we have now to describe took place. Flannery was more than 50 years of age, a widower, end the father of eight children, tt-e eldest of whom is upwards of 20 years of age. S Jrne of them are married, and the families resided together in One house. Soma ill-feeling had been created between the husband of one of Flannery's daughters and a man named Donellin, who had called in question her chastity. Three brothers of the Donellin family, named Michael, James, and Henry, created a dis turbance in the street, it is supposed, in consequence of what had previously occurred between the parties in question, and the female was standing at the end of a passage, when James Donellin went up to her and struck her in the face. The father of the girl, hearing the noise, went out for the purpose of separating the parties, when James Donellin struck him over the head with a brush and broke the handle, and Michael Donellin threw a large stone at his forehead which knocked him down. He was also beaten in a brutal manner whilst on the ground. He was taken up bleeding profusely from a wound in the forehead, and on Mr. Mann, a sur geon, being sent for, he found that the skull was severely fractured. Flannery was quite inseusible at the time, but having rallied, Mr. Price, a magistrate, the same afternoon, took his depositions in writing. His statement was to the effect that Michael Donel lin, without any provocation, struck him on the head with a stone, and that James hit him on the head with a stick or piece of wood, whereupon he became insensible, and he knew no more of what took place. He did not implicate Henry Donellin, against whom the evidence appears to be only slight, although he was shown to be among the parties, had struck the decea4ed with his fist, and shortly before the affray had used threatening language. The un fortunate man Flannery became delirious on Friday, and he expired on the following morning. Tne three Donellins were apprehended soon after the affray had happened, taken before the magistrates the same d ay, and were remanded. The coroner's investigation ye as adjourned in order that a post mortem examination of the body might be made. On Monday evening the inquiry was resumed before the coroner. After several witnesses had been examined, the jury re turned a verdict of manslaughter against Michael Donellin, and also against James Donellin, for having aided and abetted his brother.
