Since our notice on Tuesday of the arrangements in connexion with her Majesty's visit to the " good old town," the committees of council have been actively engaged in their respective departments. A general meeting of the committee was held onWednesday, when the reports of the committees were brought forward for confirmation. A report of the proceedings will be found in another column. The general arrange ments, to which we have from time to time alluded, were confirmed. It is understood that in consequence of some dissatisfaction as regards the royal route, the line of progress is to be slightly changed—to iaclude Castle-street as far as the Branch Bank of England and Brunswick-street. It is recom mended that stages be erected on land near the Zoological Gardens ; within the area at the front of the Infirmary ; on the vacant land new the work house in Brownlow-hill ; in Hardman-street, near the Institution for the Blind; iel Leece-street, within the area around St. Luke's Church ; in Church street, within the railings of St. Peter's; and in Can ning. place, near the Sailors' Home. In Lime-street and St. John's-lane stages will also be erected. As a wise precaution, the committee recommend that balconies to windows be supported by props, and that, in all cases competent tradesmen should make an examination as to their security. The stages are to be constructed only upon plans and specifications approved by the committee. The children of the va rious charity schools will be accommodated on the inclosed space round St. George's Hall, and after the Royal cortege has pissed, they will be taken to their re spective schools, and provided with an entertainment. It is expected they will number about 20,000. The Land ing -stage is to be laid out to accommodate from 2,148 to 2,200 persons, and the three steamers placed at the disposal of the committee will each contain 300 indi viduals. Admission to both will be obtained by ticket, 400 being at the disposal of the members of the council, and the remainder in the hands of the dock committee. Accommodation for spectators will also be provided on the piers, and other sites along the line of docks where a view of the river can be com manded. As regards the Town-hall, the Mayor's-room and the adjoining ante-room are to be appropriated as retiring rooms for the Queen ; and the town clerk's room and ante-room as retiring apartments for the Prince. They will all be appropriately furnished. The plans for arranging the ball-rooms have been approved. The larger room will ac commodate 552 person, besides the members of the council ; and the smaller one, which is to be devoted to ladies only, 250. The ladies will be placed on benches on either side of the apartment, and the Queen twill pass down the centre. The dais in the large ball-room is to be covered with crimson baize, and upon it three chairs of state will be placed, one emblazoned at the back with the royal crown, the second with the coronet of his Royal Highness, and the third with the feathers 'and coronet of the Prince of Wales. The Queen will step forth upon the balcony overlooking the Exchange area, and it has been decided to remove so much cf the external wall above the centre window of the ball-room as will enable her Majesty to pass into the balcony on a level with the floor of the room. It is understood that the luncheon for her Majesty- and suite will be provided by Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel. The royal party will consist of about thirty persons, though a larger number may be accommodated by replenishing the tables. The address, as we have before stated, will be deposited in a silver box, ornamented with gold, and appropriately carved. The workmanship of the box has been entrusted to Mr. Mayer, of Lord-street. A new royal standard is to float over the Town-hall ; the area of the Exchange is to be decked with evergreens sad plants from the Botanic Gardens ; and last, but not least, the mayor's state carriage is to undergo a thorough redecorating, in honour of the occasion. The inhabitants are to use their own taste and judg ment as to the kind of favours worn throughout the day, the council making no suggestion on this subject. The members of the corporate body, however, are to be distinguished by badges worked in gold, on royal blue ribbons, with the arms of the corporation upon them in full. The use of the Exchange News-room has been granted, should it be required, as a supper-room during the ball. The secretaries of the various literary societies have applied to the coun cil, requesting that they might be associated in the arrangements for presenting an address to the Queen. On this a resolution has been passed, that the address of the council must be taken to be the address of the whole of the inhabitants ; and a reply has been re turned that applications for the presentation of other addresses must be made to one of her,Majesty's Secre taries of State. It has been decided that each member of the council shall have six tickets of admission to the large ball-room, and four to the smaller ball-room, during the presentation of the address. This would leave twenty-four at the disposal of the Mayor. The boudoir and private drawing-rooms for the Queen and Prince Alhert will, we understand, be fitted up in very chaste and elegant style under the direction of Messrs. Holden and Co., of Church-street. The Zoological Gardens will be opened at nine o'clock in the evening for the admission of company ; and it is understood that the display of fireworks at the north end of the town will be given' to Mrs. Atkins, under the direction of Mr. E. Atkins. The members of the council will have four hundred tickets for the gardens at their disposal. There have been some applications to be e nro ll e d as members of the "guard of honour," but the candidates are not so numerous as was at first expected. Yesterday the followtm; code of reguelruatii7e e si: the re ference to the arrangements for the river was submitted to the dock committee, and adopted : : 76 "w, r ,. A line of st eamers t o h e a nchored at a distan ce o f ." ' r34 two hundred yard.) from the river wall, end 150 r ;t'' :- 7Tyards from each oth e r. The line to extend from •Sri . c . s- :So • the Dingle to the R o ck. O ne ro w boat to be at tached to each steamer. Th'„', masters of steamers are Qt-: t i.. , , requested to assist the authorities in preventing all boats and vessels from passing b e tween them '''''kr, *l - and the river wall during the time the Queen is on N the river, namely, between the h o urs o f t en a nd one. a No boats are to be allowed alongside the steamers, except the row boats, nor will boats be permitted to be alongside the piers, or inside the landing-stage. j Pilot-boats and gentlemen's yachts are to be anchored in the vacant spaces between the steamers. Owners willing to form the line are requested to send in their names to the dock committee. All other steamers are to be anchored outside to the westward of the flotilla, at a distance of 350 yards, leaving a clear course along the Cheshire shore. Ships ready for sea are to remain in dock on the morning of the 9th, and ships arriving are requested to anchor as near as possible in the line. Steamers are re quested not to fire guns while her Majesty is passing. The steamers are to come to their stations not later than seven o'clock, A.M., on the morning of the 9th, and a lithographed plan is to be furnished to each steamer forming the line. An officer will be stationed afloat to assist masters of steamers in forming the line. The Liverpool life-boats, five in number, will be anchored in line between the steamers and the land ing stage. It is requested that all persons intending to view the excursion on the river be on board the steamers at au early hour. The landing stage will be closed from the evening of Monday, the 6th, until Friday, the 10th October, in order to complete the arrangements contemplated for the suitable reception of her Majesty and the ac commodation of the public. 'the royal yacht is to be brought alongside the landing -stage with her head to the south. Imme diately on her Majesty embarking she will proceed up the river to the end of the dock works, as far as the Din_gle ; then crossing over to the Cheshire shore, she will sail down the river as far as the Rock, then re cross and proceed along the north docks to the land ing -stage. One of the fastest steamers, burningcoke instead of coal, with a single officer on board, will precede her Majesty's yacht to clear the way. Admission to the three steamers which are to fol low the royal yacht will be by ticket only, and la dies and gentlemen are to be on board not later than ten o'clock A.M., at which time steamers must leave, on account of the tide. The three steamers are to sail abreast, under the charge of the commodore of the squadron, who is to see that each vessel proceeds at the same rate of speed. There will be deck ac commodation for three hundred persons on each of the steamers. A platform will be erected on the landing-stage to accommodate 2,148 persons; and in addition there will be standing room on the south side of George's-basin and George's-pier in front of the baths. Admission to the platform and landing-stage will be by ticket ; and ladies and gentlemen are particularly requested to be in their places not later than half-past ten. None will be per mitted to cross the bridge after that hour, nor will any parties be allowed to leave the landing-stage or platform until after her Majesty shall have disem barked, passed the stage in her carriage, and driven away. Platforms will also be erected on the King's-pier, to accommodate 1,425 persons ;on the Albert parade and pier, to accommodate 2,375 ; and on the Prince's-pier to accommodate 4,325, making altogether 8,125 persons, calculating that each person will take up .vo feet. Admission to these platforms will be by ticket. Arrangements are in progress for Captain Franklin of the Royal Artil lery, to fire the royal salute on the wall westward of the new graving docks. There will also be standing room on the piers besides. A correspondent informs us, that in addition to other manifestations of loyalty and goodwill towards her Majesty on her approaching visit, the alder men, councillors, and electors of Abercromby Ward, intend dining several hundreds of their poor neigh bours in Gill-street Market, which building has been kindly granted by the markets committee, with the consent of the whole of the tenants. As the tickets will be distributed to indigent persons, male and female, of all creeds and parties, our corre spondent hopes that all the more wealthy inhabitants of the ward will support the committee formed for the purpose, and also that other wards will follow so benevolent and loyal an example, and provide for their respective poor. _ From the London papers we perceive that the royal yachts Victoria and Albert, and the Fairy, are im mediately to prepare for a cruise to Liverpool. It is supposed both vessels will leave Portsmouth on the Ist of October, to be ready to receive her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Court, on the morning of the 9th. It is expected the Court will embark on board the Fairy to take a view of the town, the docks, &c., from the river Mersey. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From this night's Gazette.)

THE LONDON, THE CUBAN EXPEDITION. Now that the expedition has proved only a signal, and were it not for the blood shed on both sides, we might say ludicrous failure, the sympathy in the United States is rapidly vanishing. In fact, the Ame ricans appear rather ashamed of the excitement into which they were betrayed, and, in the meantime, would gladly forget the whole affair. The Central Government have dismissed the Collector of Customs at New Orleans for allowing the Pamperos to sail with Lopez and his companions, without the usual clearance papers. In addition, a naval force was ordered to cruise off the mouth of the Mississippi to interrupt the departure of any vessels with reinforcements to Lopez. But although there were from 2,000 to 3,000 men collected at New Orleans, all professing their eagerness to set out to join Lopez, the intelligence of his fate soon rendered them as anxious to remain where they were. The terrible example made by the Spanish authorities of the first fifty who were captured, and the subsequent sufferings of those who outlived that disaster, only to be shot, starved, or transported to the dungeons of Old Spain, has bad a salutary effect even on those reckless spirits who are so ready to plunge into mischief. The true sympathy belongs to the Governor and authorities of Cuba, who, on the whole, have acted mercifully. On the former attempt they carried their lenity to an undue extreme, as the sequel proves. Resolved to avoid that error on this occasion, they summarily condemned and shot the first fifty prisoners caught with arms in their hands ; but this exercse of authority, stern as it was, took place while the struggle was still pending. Bat no sooner does the final discomfiture occur than they promise life to all who would lay down their arms excepting Lopez the leader, and the cause of all this havoc, who had no title to mercy. It is said that the American Govern ment are employing their good offices with the Cuban authorities to obtain the freedom of this captive rem nant, instead of suffering the same to be sent to the prisons of Spain. It will be a mere question of policy with the Cuban Governor whether he yields to the solicitations of the American Goverment. The right of the Goverment of Cuba to dispose of those men in any way must be distinctly recognised. Their lives have been spared, for, in the circum stances, it would have been perfect butchery to have doomed them to wholesale slaughter ; but should they be decreed a secondary punishment, no one can legi timately censure the Cuban authorities. While the American citizens have been loud and indignant about the destruction of the fifty, it seems to be forgotten that some hundreds of Spanish soldiers, whose lives are as precious as those of American citizens, have been killed while only performing their honest duty. Their sacrifice ought on every consideration to be more de plored than that of men who recklessly and criminally rushed on their fate. After this lesson, we think there will be no more buccaneering expeditions against Cuba. No doubt the Americans are casting rapacious looks on this fair is land, now the most valuable remnant of the once exten sive colonial dominion of Spain. But Cuba, for all that, will not drop into the capacious maw of the Re public. If its eventual destiny should be to become one of the American States, the acquisition must be the work of the Republic at large, and not of a few hundred desperate men, casting off their allegiance, and going in defiance of their own Govern ment. When that day arrives, France may have some thing to say, and England too, for Cuba is not like Texas or California, outlying territory, having no political ties which concern the old world. If the Cuba population (supposing they did not number bond and tree) were to rise en masse and raise the republican banner, begging to be taken under the wing of the American Republic, that might be another state of affairs. But as we have said, there are no signs that the Spaniards of Cuba, who have not lost their sense of nationality, are in any haste to fraternise with the United States.—Caledonian Mercury. NEW ZEALAND. AUCKLAND, ArRIL 20.—During the last week what may be termed an emeute of the Maoris has occurred here, which has startled this town, tranquil and progressing during the last five years, from the state of repose to which her inhabitants have latterly been accustomed. It mayqnot be generally known in England that a considerable portion of the police is composed of aborigines; it is, however, necessary to premise that such is the case. On Monday night last, the 14th inst., a native of the Ngatipoa tribe stole a shirt from a shop in the town, and as the offender was being taken into cus tody a rush of his tribe took place. A fierce struggle ensued between them and the police, several of the inhabitants hastened to the assistance of the latter, and in the contest a great chief, rendered sacred for the time by the Tapu, was knocked down by the baton of one of the Maori police and hurried off to the lock-up, but afterwards liberated. Instantly numbers of the people took to their canoes, and left the town to arouse the tribes. Tuesday and Wednesday, however, passed quietly by; the thief Ngawki was summarily con victed, sentenced by Mr. Beckham, the resident ma gistrate, to three months' imprisonment with hard labour, and the whole affair began to be forgotten. Thursday, however, undeceived those who imagined that Maori threat and Maori vengeance were merely idle words. The sun had scarcely risen over the spacious harbour ere crowds of native canoes began to pour into Mechanics Bay (one of the many bays on which the town of Auckland is situated), and before noon a large body of men, completely armed, and well furnished with ammunition, had assembled. They danced their war dance on the beach, and were evidently bent upon some resolute purpose, whatever that might be. Fortunately for Auckland, his Excellency Sir George Grey returned a few days before this from the southern settlements, and his measures to meet the emergency were taken with the promptitude, energy, and decision which might be expected from his character. Orders were issued to the 58th Regiment, the artillery, the sappers and miners, the pensioner force, and to Captain Oliver, of her Majesty's ship Fly, to hold themselves in readi ness for immediate action. About noon Sir George Grey, attended by Lieutenant-Colonel Wynyard, Lieutenant-Colonel Bolton, R.E., and the principal military and civil officers of Government, proceeded to Mechanics' Bay, where his Excellency, summon ing the tribes, demanded of them the reason of their unlawful assembling under arms. They replied that their quarrel was not with the Europeans, that they had no wish to molest them, but that a native police man had greatly insulted a native chief, and that the offender must be delivered to his particular tribe, to be dealt with according to the laws of his nation. To this demand of course only one reply could be made by his Excellency. He peremptorily commanded them to launch their canoes and leave the bay within two hours; at the expiration of which time, if any remained, the , artillery and the guns of the Fly should open fire upon them without further' delay. The Maoris well knew the futility of resistance. The decorated war canoes were dragged down the long, level beach, for it was low water, and long before the al lotted two hours had expired the last lingering foot amongst the savages had left the sands withi❑ Me chanics' Bay. Friday, however, saw a force of 100 men threatening to unite with the former insurgents, and to enter the town. They were prudently anticipated at every point of attack. Strong military bands pa trolled the town. The Onehung division of the pen sioners, with Major Kenny at their head, were marched into Auckland, and encamped there, while the Howick, Panmure, and Otahuhu divisions re mained under arms at their respective stations. The Maoris are a sharp-wilted race, and soon underatand when they are out-manoeuvred. Although to-day (Monday), there are hundreds of them gathered in Rocky Bay, a place near to the town, but without its limits, no further manifestation has been made, and I think it may safely be said that the crisis of the affair is over. The cause of the determined and vindic tive spirit they have evinced arises from the fact of an individual of the lowest class among them— in fact, a slave—having presumed to strike one of their highest chiefs, and he too rendered sacred and untouchable for the time by means of the mystical Tapu. That they would seize and murder the police. man were it not for fear of the Europeans, and be causo they really have no ,enmity against, but rather a wish to conciliate them, there can be no doubt. As for the poor fellow himself, he remains close in Mr. Beck= s house, in daily fear of his death, which he himself says is certain. What Sir George Grey will do with him is not yet known—most likely send him to Sydney or England; in New Zealand certainly his life is in jeopardy. Altogether, in spite of such a warlike demonstration, there has been little or no fear for themselves felt by the Europeans, and while it shows from what apparently trifling causes wiil spring the deadly vengeance of the savage, it offers no reasonable grounds to dissuade any in tending emigaants from availing themselves of the open and fertile lands, the splendid climate, the in creasing wealth of New Zealand in general and of Auckland in particular. TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 22. The Maoris have all quietly dispersed without any further manifestation of disturbance. ENCROACIIMEIVTS IN GREENWICET PARK. Various proceedings from time to time, in connec tion with the management of this royal park, have produced considerable dissatisfaction among the inha bitants of Greenwich. During the rangership of the Princess Sophia, it will be recollected that a portion of the park next to the house oc cupied by her Royal Highness on Black heath, was taken in as additional ground, with the understanding, however, that it was to be held for the lifetime of the Princess only, and to be restored on her decease. On the occurrence of that event no step was taken to reinstate the public in possession of this ground, which still remains fenced off from the rest of the park ; but, on the contrary, not long since a further invasion was attempted by marking out another portion of the park for building ground. This produced a general commotion among the population of Greenwich, and, owing to the agitation it occasioned, the project was given up. It served, however, to revive the old question of the claim of the public to that 'portion formerly granted for the use of the Princess Sophia. To this claim no attention was vouchsafed by the official authorities, and, as if to withdraw public notice from the long-standing encroachment, the building of a new lodge at the extremity of the park —ostensibly fur the use of the park-keeper —was com menced under the direction of the ranger, preparatory, as was understood, to taking down the lodge in the centre of the park. The propriety of the latter step is held to be extremely questionable by the good people of Greenwich, who not only conceive the old lodge to be ornamental to the park, but consider a lodge in the centre to be absolutely needful, from the great distance of the other lodges, as well as for the preservation of order, and on account of the in quiries continually made by strangers, which could only be answered satisfactorily by a park-keeper on the spot. Among other innovations which have like wise tended to enhance the unpopularity of the park authorities may be enumerated the taking away nearly all the deer, so long justly deemed one of the principal attractions of the park, and which from 200 to 300 are now reduced to 30 or 40 only. Consequent, appa. rently, on this step has been the recent introduction of sheep-grazing in the park, at the rate, it is said, of about a shilling per score per diem. Bills relating to this sheep-grazing spEculatiou are even posted on the walls in different parts of the town, but into whose hands, or pockets, the proceeds derived from it ulti mately fall, does not seem to be very clearly ascer tained, one thing only being certain, that such a thing was never before remembered in the records of the park. Among other plans in contemplation is a carriage drive round the park, a project which is likely to meet with a strong opposition from the inhabitants of Greenwich in general. A vestry is, we hear, about to be held, at which these and other encroachments, completed or meditated, will be brought under public oonsideration.-IWorniug Paper. COURSE OF EXCH.

John Morris was indicted for having unlawfully assaulted one Maria Cooke with intent to commit a rape. Mr. O'Brien conducted the case for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutrix is the wife of a policeman, 465 K; that she lives in Sidney-street, Newport- terrace; and that between twelve and one o'clock on the morning of the sth inst. she was on her way home, in company with a friend of the name of Mary Green, at the house of whose sister they had been passing the evening. As they were going along the road by the gardens between Bethnal green and Three-colt-lane they heard a man following them at a quick pace. That man proved to be the prisoner, and on coming up he addressed them, but they told him they did not wish to have anything to say to him. The prisoner, however, renewed his conversation, and presently put his hand on the shoulder of the prosecutrix, who insisted that he should leave her alone, as she was a mar ried woman. The prisoner persisted in his attentions, and having placed his arm round her waist proceeded to treat her with gross indecency. She thereupon screamed as loudly as she was able, and again declared herself to be a married woman. Her friend, seeing the lengths to which the prisoner was proceeding, called for the police. Eventually an officer came up, and was a witness as he was ap proaching them of the indecent conduct of the pri soner, who was in due time taken into custody. Miss Green corroborated the evidence of the prose cutrix. Mr. BALLANTINE, for the prisoner, said it was im possible for him to struggle against the evidence which had been given. Both of the witnesses appeared to be very prudent women, and there could be no doubt but that the account they had given of the transaction was correct. The truth was the prisoner was in drink at the time of the commission of the assault, for which act he now expressed his contrition, and was prepared to make any compensa tion in his power. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the common assault. The Learned JUDGE sentenced him to three months' imprisonment. Mr. O'BRIEN was sorry to inform the Court that since this transaction the husband and the prosecutrix had lived a life of great unhappiness. The Learned JUDGE remailied that the husband ought to be proud of such a wife, even if it were only for the manner in which she had behaved in court that day in giving her evidence. Elizabeth Goodman, the widow of Thomas Good man, who has died since the commencement of these proceedings, Jane Champ, Esther Davies, and Rachel Davies, pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging them with having kept a brothel in Queen's Head court, Windmill-street, Haymarket. Mr. Ballantine appeared for the parish authorities of St. James's, Westminster ; and Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Trevethan Spicer, represented the several defendants. The defendants having pleaded Guilty, Mr. BALLANTINE stated that the parish authorities had been compelled to institute these proceedings in consequence of frequent complaints having been made by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The prin cipal offender had been called to his final account since the commencement of these proceedings, and his widow now appeared at that bar as the chief offender, while the other defendants would seem to have acted in the capacity of servants only. It should be stated that the owner of the house in question was Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, the Commissioner of the City Police, and he could not but feel regret that that gentleman should be the owner of property of such a description ; but being so he now bad the satisfac tion of handing him the key of the premises which the widow Goodman had given up. He could not but anticipate that Mr. Harvey would now gladly accept the key with feelings of delight at having got rid of such a disreputable tenant. He had been astonished to learn that upon a former application being made to Mr. Harvey that gentleman had said that the rent had always been well and regularly paid by Goodman, and, therefore, that he was not only disinclined to take any cognizance of the complaint, but should refuse to accept the key. He was glad, however, to see Mr. Harvey present in court, and he now, therefore, tendered him the key. Tne Learned JUDGE—WeII, Mr. Harvey, I sup pose you will not now refuse to accept the key ? Mr. Harvey should certainly not accept the key without having previously made some observations in reply to what had now unjustly and unfairly fallen from the Learned Counsel. He had travelled 600 miles for the purpose of being in attendance upon the present occasion. He had come from Lucerne, where he was when a letter reached him intimat ing that this case would come on that day. To enable him to arrive in time he had travelled three days and nights, and now he had come he bad been greatly surprised to hear the observations which had been made by the Learned Counsel. That statement was most untrue, for he had no knowledge of the purpose to which this house had been applied. He had not accepted Goodman as a tenant until he had written to a solicitor of the name of Atkinson, in Carey-street, to ascertain whether Goodman was a respectable man. The reply of Mr. Atkinson was that Goodman was a respectable man, and that he had known him to be so for a number of years. With such a reference he could have no hesi tation in accepting Goodman as a tenant, and the man had always been very regular in the payment of his rent. Now, he did not know, as had been stated by the Learned Counsel, that it was a matter for deep regret for a gentleman to have a tenant who was regu lar in the payment of his rent ; but regular this tenant had been, and he had regarded the fact as a source of gratulation rather than fur regret. This was one of several houses be held under the Crown ; and upon receiving the letter from the solicitor to the parish complaining of the conduct of this particular house he had applied to another tenant of his (" Jem Burn"), who occupied a public-house opposite, and from that person he had ascertained that there was no cause for complaint against Goodman's house. With such a statement from another tenant he felt that he was not justified in adopting the course which had been suggested by other parties, that of turning out an old tenant, still less did he think that he was open to the remarks which had been made against him by the Learned Counsel that day. He had been paid 401. a year for the last 21 years for this house, and he had no doubt but that he should receive the same rent for it for many years to come. He would now accept the key under the direction of the Learned Judge, but in no other way, and he would again say that the Learned Counsel was not in any way justified in making the statement he had upon the present occasion. Mr. BALLANTINE said that, after what had fallen from Mr. Harvey, be felt called upon, in his own justification to read the letter which bad been sent to that gentleman by the vestry-clerk upon the subject of the complaints which had been made by the inhabi tants of the scenes of disgust which were being enacted in this house of Goodman's. Mr. Harvey—And read my answer. Mr. BALLANTINE-Oh, yes; Mr. Harvey should have no cause to complain, for he would read the whole of the correspondence. The Learned Counsel then read the correspondence, which was as follows : "St. James, Westminster. " 50, Poland-street, July 28, 1849. "Sir,—On inquiring into the statements made in the enclosed communication, I find them not at all exagge rated, and being informed that you are the owner of the house in question, I deem it right to make you ac quainted with the circumstances, in the confident hope that you will be able to rid the inhabitants of the nui sance without the interference of the parish authorities. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " G. BUZZARD." " D. W. Harvey, Esq., 26, Old Jewry." (Enclosure.) "July 11, 1849. " Sir,—l am sorry to trouble you with this letter, but the whole of Walker's-court is thrown into great confu fusion, and none of the shopkeepers can gain their liveli hood, unless you, as the parish solicitor, discharge your duty in getting rid of a most infamous bawdy-house, carried on by a person of the name of Mrs. Goodman, at Queen's Head-court, Windmill -street, Haymarket, op posite Jem Barns', which house is open, day and night, for female prostitution under twelve years of age. The neighbours has been watching as well as Sergeant Tyce, who is on duty; for he can inform you the scenes that take place every night at that house is most horrid, and do call your immediate attention to get rid of such an infamous house, to prevent the destruction of young fe males. This woman and her husband has been found guilty for a similar offence for the parish of St. Clement's in the Strand, and are under bail. It is to be hoped that you will see Sergeant Tyce C, who is on duty, and he will inform you of the dreadful house opened in the parish for robberies, as well as female prostitution car ried on, as no children is safe to go out and take a walk but being enticed by women and taken to this house of in famy. The neighbours inWalker's-court hope, you being the parish solicitor, that you will immediately proceed and take the parties into custody, and prosecute them for such offence, "I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, «J. J. W., a neighbour and lodger. " G. Buzzard, Esq." Mr. Harvey's answer was the following : " Old Jewry, July 30, 1849. " Sir,—l am obliged by your communication, which much surprised me. Goodman, the tenant, was recom mended to me as a respectable person and client by Mr. Atkinson, of Carey -street. The report you made to me appears to negative this representation. I shall most readily concur in any course you can recommend by which such disgraceful proceedings can be promptly suppressed and their authors punished. "I am, Sir, your obliged servant, " G. Buzzard, Esq." " D. W. HARVEY. On the 9th of August, 1849, Mr. Buzzard again wrote to Mr. Harvey as follows : " Sir,—Since my letter of the 28th ult. I have bad the clergy of the parish with me on the subject of the house therein alluded to, which I find is rated in your books as No. 5, Old Crown•court. The only course I can recommend you to take is to exercise your authority as landlord to get rid, without delay, of such a disre putable tenant, as I am quite certain that if the case be allowed to be carried to the Middlesex Sessions the As stAant Judge will, on hearing who is the owner of the premises—an inquiry which he always makes—express no little surprise at the parish being compelled to resort to such proceedings. " I am, &c., , . "D. W. Harvey, "GEO. BUZZJILD. Mr. Ballantine, having left other letters unread, said —After this it would be for the Court to form an opinion as to Mr. Harvey's knowledge of the charac ter of this house, and then on evidence he could pro duce as to his having refused to accept the key when it had been tendered to him. Mr. Harvey—That is not true ; the key never was tendered to me. The Learned JUDGE said they were not there to try Mr. Harvey, or whether that gentleman did or did not refuse to accept the key of this house. Doubtless Mr. Harvey would now take the key, and he would also, no doubt, be more careful as to the character of the person whom he in future should take as a tenant. Mr. Harvey begged his Lordship to bear in mind that he bad received a highly respectable character of Goodman from a solicitor of the name of Atkinson, whose letter he had in his hand at that moment. The Learned JUDGE had not forgotten that fact, and he would give a caution to that Mr. Atkinson to be more careful in speaking to the respectability of per sons in future, and not to give a good character to improper persons. That individual had better use more caution in future, or he might chance to hear of his conduct through the medium of a rule nisi in the Court of Queen's Bench. With respect to the present defendants the key of the house was now given up, and, consequently, the nuisance complained of was abated. The Court would therefore order the defendants to enter into their own recognizances in the sum of 201., to come up for judgment when called upon. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-87 REET. Henry Franklin was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with cutting and wounding with a knife two police-constables, and Charlotte Hedges was charged with rescuing the prisoner from lawful custody. Thomas Roche, 35 F, said—About half-past seven last Friday night I was on duty in Dudley-street. A gentleman told me there was a young man attempting to stab his mother in Monmouth-court. I went there and saw the prisoner Franklin lying on the female prisoner. I got him by the neck and pulled him from the top of her, and got him on his legs, and three or four women assisted the woman on her feet. I asked him what he had been doing. The prisoner said they had been upsetting him and putting him cut of temper. I then asked him if he would go quietly home if I would let him. He said he would. He had not got above twenty yards when he struck a woman in the face and felled her to the ground. He then tried to make off, but I got him by the neck, and saw she (Hedges) was bleeding at the face. She gave him in charge for assaulting her. I pushed him out of the court by the neck into Little Earl-street. At the same time Aspinshaw, 37 F, came to my assist ance. Wa had not got above twenty yards when the prisoner struck me in the face, and I felt blood run ning down my face. We want a little further, and he made a jump, and we all three fell down together. Franklin got up before we did, and kept his hand cutting about from one side to the other. He then made a plunge at Aspinshaw, who said di rectly that he was stabbed in the thigh. Franklin then made a run at me, and I exclaimed, "I am stabbed in the thigh." Smith, 43 F, came up then, and Aspinshaw called out, "Take care, he has got a knife in his hand. Strike him on the arm, and we'll try and get the knife from him." Aspinshaw took it from him, and Smith, 43 F, struck him and knocked him down. Franklin then said he intended to kill every belonging to the police, that he had long wanted a chance, and he bad got it at last. The pri soner Hedges and another woman got hold of me by the neck, and I was flung down twice by them. I have been confined at home ever since until to-day. Franklin said at the station it was his intention to take our lives, and he would stab every one belonging to justice, and even the magistrate he was taken before. Smith, 43 F, corroborated the above evidence. Aspinshaw, 37 F, said—On Friday night, the 19th inst., I went to Roche's assistance in Monmouth court. Tne prisoner Franklin was then in his custody. After we got some distance the prisoner kicked me and we all came down. Franklin got up and was flourishing his hands about him ; then he ran at me and stabbed me in the thighs with the knife produced. I said I was stabbed, and that he had got a knife. Smith then came up and hit Franklin on the wrist with his staff, while I took the knife from him. I bled very much and was taken to Charing-cross Hos pital, where I have been up to this day. Mr. H. Dalton, house-surgeon at Charing-cross Hospital, said,—Oa Friday, the 19th inst., Police constable Aspinshaw was brought to the hospital in a weak state. I examined him, and found two punc tured wounds on each thi g h , both bleeding. The wounds were deep, and in a very important region. I have also examined the witness Roche, and find on his right thigh a punctured wound, similar to those on Aspinshaw. I should say the knife produced (a formidable looking instrument, about four inches in length) is a likely instrument to have inflicted those wounds. The prisoners, who said they were much the worse for drink at the time, and knew not what they did, were fully committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr, Edward Nunn, sen., and Mr. Edward .Nunn, jun., cab proprietors and livery stable keepers in the Curtain-road, Shoreditch, were charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with the following violent and aggra vated assault upon Thomas Gouch, a constable of the G division, while in the execution of his dnty. The complainant stated, that while on duty in the Curtain-road, about half. past one o'clock on Saturday morning last, he heard loud cries of " Murder," and " Police," accompanied by a suppressed exclamation of " Oh, don't !" from the defendant's yard, and upon hastening there to ascertain the cause of it was pre vented obtaining admission by the gates being closed. He called out that he was an officer and demanded admission, but no notice was taken of it, and, as the cries still continued, he placed his back against the wicket-gate, forced it open, and, upon entering the yard, found the younger defendant holding a man down against the wheels of a carriage and beating him severely with his fists. He ran forward to rescue the man from the ill-usage of his assailant, but was immediately struck by the younger defendant, and the elder at the same time seized him by the neck, and after severely shaking him relinquishing his hold, but was directly succeeded by his son, who quitted the man he had been previously beating, and struck him repeated blows upon the body. He extended his arm to keep him off, reminding him that he was only performing his duty, when the elder de fendant again seized him by the neck, and, forcing him back some distance, rapped his head violently against the brick wall several times, struck him a blow under one of his ears, which again dashed his head against the wall, and forced his thumb back with such violence that he was apprehensive for some time it was broken. An active struggle then ensued between them, when several other officers fortu nately arrived and rescued him from further illusage, but he had sustained such injuries in the course of the contest that he had been unfit for duty ever since. Symes, 111 G, also deposed to being attracted by the cries of " Murder" in the defendant's yard, and that upon the first witness rescuing the man whom Mr. Nunn, :jun., was beating, the elder defendant came up, seized him by the collar, and threatened to throw him out of the place ; he then left him for an instant, but immediately after renewed the attack, and repeatedly knocked his head against the wall as he had described. The witness added, in cross-exa mination, that in the course of the struggle the defen dant's daughter was thrown down, while be was en deavouring to keep Mrs. Nunn back, and that the reason the defendants were not at once taken into custody was because one of the constables, who ar rived at the conclusion of the contest, advised the complainant to take their names and proceed against them.in the:usual course by summons. The evidence of the preceding witnesses was also confirmed by that of two cabdrivers, named Banbury and Raynes, the former of whom stated that he was the person whom the younger defendant was beating at the time of the officer forcing an entrance, and that the cause of it was that, after being out with one of the defendants' cabs from eight o'clock in the morning till twelve at night, he did not bring home a suffi ciency of money to satisfy the defendants expectations, upon which, after searching his pockets, they punched him about and beat him in such a manner as to neces sitate his calling " Murder" and " Police," in the way the officers had stated. M. D'ExxiCOURT sentenced the elder defendant to CHEESE AMMUNITION.. The strangest ammunition that we have heard of lately was used by the celebrated Commander Coo, of the Monte Videan navy, who in an engagement with Admiral Brown, of the Buenos Ayrean service, fired every shot from his locker. " What shall we do, sir?" asked his first lieutenant, " we've not a single shot aboard; round, grape, cannisfer, and double headed are all gone." " Powder gone,—eh?" asked Coe. " No, sir; got lots of that yet.' "We had a plaguy hard cheese—a round Dutch one—for dessert at dinner to day—do you remember it?" said Coe. "I ought to; I broke the carving knife in trying to cut it, sir." "Are there any more aboard?" "About two dozen: we took them from a drove." " Will they go into the 18 pounders?" " Well, commodore, that's an idea. try 'em," cried the first luff. And in a few minutes the fire of the old Santa Maria (Coe's ship), which had ceased entirely, was re-opened, and Admiral Brown found more shot flying about his head. Directly one of them struck his mainmast, and, as it did so, shat tered and flew in every direction. " What the plague is that the enemy is firing?" asked Admiral Brown; but nobody could tell. Directly another came in through a port, and killed two men who were standing near him; and then striking the opposite bulwark, burstinto finders. " Why, that's some newfangled Paixham or other; I don't like 'em at all," cried Brown; and then as four or five more of them came slap through the sails, he gave the order to fill away, and actually backed out of the fight, receiving a parting broadside of Dutch cheeses. This is an actual fact; our informant was the first lieu tenant of Coe's ship.—American Paper. DEATH FROM A FRACTURED Jaw.—Yesterday Mr. Baker, jun., proceeded with an inquiry at the Brick layers' Arms, Coßingwood- street, Bethnal-green, relative to the death of William Barry, aged 46, a plumber and glazier. It appeared that the deceased had a tooth extracted from the lower jaw, some weeks ago. Shortly after, he went to Mr. Colman, Whitechapel-road, surgeon, who found a con siderab!e swelling and inflammation of the lower jaw, for which he prescribed. Deceased discovered subsequently that his lower jaw was fractured, which he was obliged to tie up, and from the effect of which he was unable to take any solids to eat. On the 22d July he became an out-patient at the Metropolitan Free Hospital, where he continued till the the sth September. A few days before his death he became an inmate of Guy's Hospital, where he died on Wednesday last in a state of great exhaustion. Verdict, " Natural Death from debility.'' Motte.viAN MissioNs.—A public meeting in behalf of the London Association in aid of the above missions was held on Wednesday last at the Guildhall, Weymouth. The treasurer of the parent association attended, and communi cated much interesting information respecting these missions of an ancient Protestant Church, carried on amongst Green landers, Esquimaux, Indians, Negroes. and Hottentots, in congregations consisting of above 69,000 converts, 40,000 of whom are British subjects. The meeting was very well at tended, and the proceedings were of so gratifying acharacter that we should think annual meetings will be held hereafter. The Moravians were the first in the field of missionary la bour, and they have wrought so zealously in the good work as to deserve the warm support of their fellow- Christians. THE GREATEST MIRACLE OF ALL.—Roman Ca tholic priests are very fond of boasting of their wonderful miracles; but there is one miracle which they have never yet been able to accomplish. They have been trying at it for a wearisome number of years—at least they pretend they have —but hitherto their holy efforts have not been attended with the slightest success. The miracle we allude to, as still wait ing for fulfilment, is no less than " the pacification of Ire land." When Ireland is restored to peace and quietness, such as England enjoys, and restored, too, by the pious agency of Roman Catholic priests, we shall look upon the happy realization as the greateot miracle of all Roman Ca tholic miracles, and shall almost be prepared to believe in winking statues, bleeding pictures, St. Peter's chair, St. Ja nuarius's blood, and enormous cabbages —even though the cabbages may be larger, and have as much heart in them as Cardinal Wiseman's sanctity.—Punch. A NEW REGENERATION. —ln Naumberg a man named Mahner is preaching the necessity of a new regene ration, not in the spiritual, but physical sense. He warns a sickly race that it must return to the lost state of "primitive health," or Urgcsundheit, as the means of more fully enjoy ing life and attaining a patriarchal old age. It is to be secured by a diet of bread and water, going barefoot, and letting the hair and beard arow ; in short, making a nearer approach to man's original state in costume than th e decen cies or prejudices of modern society will altogether permit.
