The Right Honourable Gender= proceeded to vindicate the character of the Boardef Trade, and that of the Com mittees of the House from the attacks of Mr. WALLEY. - • After a few words from Mr. WARLEY, Mr. BROTMIRTOR, and Mr. DARBY, the Motion was withdrawn. Mr. \VARLET then moved for a return of the- de- scription of diplomas or licences admitted by the Poor-law Commissioners as legal qualifications to entitle medical practitioners to be appointed as medi cal officers to Poor-law. Unions, which, after a few words from Sir JAMES GRARAM, was agreed to. Captain PECHELL moved for certain returns re lating to the crushing of bones by paupers in work houses, and deprecated their being employed in such labour. Sir JAMES GRAHAM had requested the Commis sioners to issue orders to prevent it, but they could not control boards of guardians in such matters. Lord EBRINGTON defended the employment of Pa' ,upers in bone crushing. If the work was fit for independent labourers, it was net too bad for paupers. Captain PECHELL and Mr WAHLET both animad verted severely on Lord EBBINGTON'S observations. Mr. ROEBUCK taunted the Honourable Member for Finsbury with his former speeches against the Poor-law Commissioners, who, after all, instead or being pinch-paupers, were the defenders of the poor against the inhumanity of the guardians. Sir C. LEMAN defended the employment of paupers in this manner. us, his private secretary, Mr. "D." O'BRIEN, hap pens to be appointed to a place at the new and salaried Board of Railway Investigation Commissioners. It further happeni that the Mr. " W." O'BRIEN, who is the subject of the Economist's statement, had been appointed to that influential post in the South- Eastern Railway, shortly after his brother's nomina tion to the aforesaid Commission. It happens again, according to the Economist, that the Mr. o'pr—b7 a rare felicity of speculative calculation - shares of his own Company's Stock 07 3 ... 44-3-t peverAl hundred Mr. WAHLEY replied to the taunts of the Hon. Member for Bath, and after a few words from Mr. HENLEY and Mr. S. CRAWFORD, the motion was agreed to. - Sir JAMES GRAHAM then rose to move for leave to relative to the conduct of the Messrs. O'BRtEtt, one of whom had once held the office of secretary to the Right• Hon. Baronet, but had since been appointed one of the members of the Board of Trade, and called on the Right Hon. Baronet for an explanation. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in allusion to the accusa_ the very moment that the price has declined considerably in the market, on account of a manifest informality which must have 'been fatal to the appli cation for the contemplated extension of the lines con fleeted with the South-Eastern, according to the standing order of the House of ommons as to rail ways; this session ; but whi?l informality is of the Board of Trade mys teriouslyC,mrnit cured in b fa y vo a u r r eopofrntearly all the said proposed undertakings, and against nearly all their opponents.' Finally, it happens that on the 18th ultimo, the fol lowing notice was posted "on the Stock Exchange in the usual course of business :"—"H 100 New Dover Shares,' bought in the name of WILLIAM O'BRIEN, at gi t prem., are not delivered on the 22d instant, they will be bought in by J. W. SCOTT." So far, the strange statement we have given on the authority specified. Is it a true statement ? Are, the facts as stated, in their relations to Mr. W. O'Barsrs and his posi tion which had , been brought against Mr. O'BRIEN of dabbling in railway shares, stated that that' Gentleman, on whom he passed a high eulogium, had been his Secretary before his appointment to the Board of Trade ; that on his appointment, he had, as far back as October last, sold all the railway shares which he possessed. That the gentleman whose name was referred to in the Economist, was the brother of Mr. O'BazEtv, that he was not con nected with the South-Eastern Railway, and that both gentlemen had solemnly assured him, on their honour, that neither directly or indirectly had they held any communication with the Person alluded to as having taken advantage of information obtained from the Board of Trade. If any suspicion attached to either• of those gentlemen let inquiry be made, and let them stand or fall by. that 'inquiry, but the character of men of honour, • who' had served their country with tion on the Staff of the South-Eastern Railway Com pany ? How did he get there ? Why was he selected for that office ? Are we to infer that it was in virtue of an old Irish mode or manoeuvre of jobbing, wherein a sort of moral' influence used to be brought to bear on the pliant convictions of. men engage d i n the management of private or corporate affairs, that it would be for their interest td,inake a small nest in their establishment for some. very worthy young geptleman, a connexion of some other very worthy person, in a high influential position ? The case as sumes so serious an aspect, that we still think the prope r _authorities ought to be instructed by Parliament to ascertain and report, first, who the Mr. O'BRIEN of the Stock Exchauge notice is; secondly, whether infor mation, in some unofficial shape, was afforded, and by whom, to that Mr. W. O'BRIEN, on the possibility or intention of the Board's overlooking the defective notice, which was afterwards set right by the Board's favourable report on this especial application to the House of Commons ? Now, last night, Sir JAMES GRAHAM most handsomely testified to the high and honourable character of both the Messrs. O'BatEN alluded to in this matter, his former and his present secretary. After the Right Hon. Baronet's dis claimer, we are bound to believe they have, neither of them, any communication with Railway Com panies. We are bound to accept, also, the Right Hon. Gentleman's explanation of the retention of the name of O'BRIEN on certain railway papers and scrip. But Sir JAMES offereclno sort of explanation as to .the grave charge, that secret information of the proceedings of the Board is , notoriously obtained by certain gambling speculators in the money market. In England we cannot tolerate in public or official functionaries, this tampering with the integrity so rigidly demanded of theM by the tone of society and the power of public opinion. The specific allegations of our ConteMporary are still answered but in part. This important question remains :—How came Mr. D. O'BRIEN to concur in the Board's report on these projected lints in connexion with the South- Eastern, seeing that the • notice required by the Standing Orders had . not been deposited within the utmost limit slimed ; that is, by the 30th of November lain ? Perhaps Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET will take the trouble of insti• tuting these inquiries, and apprising Parliament of the result of them. Some positive information of this kind will not be long.dispensed with,. we are very confi dent, either by the House of Commons or the public. credit, ought not tO be whispered away, when direct bring in a Bill to amend the law of settlement. During the recess he had received many communica tions on the subject ofthe measure which he had pro posed laSt year, all of,which he had attentively con sidered. There were many parts of the measure to which no objection' h,id been made. Those parts he, proposed to retain. Great ; objections had been made, to giving the Act a rettospectitevefrect ; and he 7 theYeA fore proposed thEeits operation should be prospective only, and he was also disposed to give up the birth settlement, and ,the five years' industrial residence, but he intended to abide by the ether limitations Which he had introdticed into the measure. He also proposed to substitute union s4fleinenta for parochial settlements, and would allow a sufficient time to elapse before the second reading of the Bill to enable the country well to consider: this important alteration, After a short discussion, in which Colonel WOOD, Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. riROTHEITON, and Mr. B. DENISOI took part, leave was given to bring in the Bill. Lord EBitiNGTON moved for, leave to bring in, a Bill to limit the , exemption from turnpike toll of car riages carrying her MAJESTY'S mails. The motion, 'which was opposed by the CHANCELLOR of 'the EXCHEQUER, was negatived without a division, and the House adjouimed*Twelve o'clock. We have received Madrid journals of the 3d inst., but their contents are without interest. They con tain no accounts of rebellions, or plots, or the pronun ciamentos. The capital is quiet; so are the provinces, and Spain at the present time nay be pronounced one of : the most peaceful states ,Aurope.: so well does despOtism suit the genius ofthe people. On the 3d the Three per Cents. closed at 32i for cash, and 33 at 60 days; and the Fives at 24 at 60 days. When, on Saturday last, we directed attention to the reply of Lord Graarsvnie SOMERSET, in the House of Commons, to a home question that had been addressed to him by Colonel SInTHORP, touching the alleged connexion of certain members of the Board of Trade Committee of Railway Bills Inves tigation; we had really no notion how near at hand was a case for , the protest . we had entered against the possible tendencies of the constitution of the body in qiiestion; both' in that article, and in three or four other previous papers on the same subject, which may be in the recollection of the readers of The Sun. It certainly did appear to us extraordinary at the time that a public servant of' Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET'S high character—a man by no means, la e should venture to surmise, addicted to the saying of very civil things where parties have committed them selves to any impropriety—should have given so jejune an answer to the Gallant Officer's inquiry. It was at least a significant hope that the latter expressed, that there was no truth in the rumoured interest in , • railway speculations attaching' to certain parties among those who were delegated to report to Parlia ment on the merits Of 'new or competing lines of rail road coming before the Legislature for its sanction. If Lord SOMERSET'S reply had been limited to his simple protestation of e,niire ignorance on the subject of this rumour, we should have had no comment to make upon it. But for his Lordship to have coolly replied to a charge against official functionaries so grave as this rumour involved, "that if the parties took his advice, they would get rid of all their shares in such undertakings,rif they had any, as speedily 'as they possibly could," did strike us as a very trifling manner of animadverting upon the mere assumption, even, of so gross and palpable an impropriety. But, if we were to believe the statement which has been published in a . paper of Sunday last, th e ma tt er would almost cello to be any longer one of assurnp tion. It would = like " a great fact." The abuse must exist. Tha*portunities of official station, in this department, must-have been scandalously perverted to purposes of private emolument. There must then have been, in effect, as we surmised there might be, by possibility, an antagonist influence at work in shaping the decisions of the Railway Committee, against which neither the merits of schemes, nor the legiti mate expectations of the enterprising capitalists, could have any just or equal chance. No man ought ever to have permitted himself, we repeat, to sit at the table of that Committee, who knew himself to be, either directly or indirectly, interested in railway speculations of any kind. , That he should be guilty of the indelicacy of adjudicating upon suggested lines, in the success or rejection of which the storing of his own private pockets must be a result immediately in volved, would suppose a recklessness of public opinion, ari unscrupulousnesi of jobbing, an insensibility to the sacredness of a :high State or Parliamentary trust, to which we should feelit difficult to apply any epithet of sufficient strength to - express our reprobation. ~ Now, the same journal had informed the world that shortly after the appointment of Sir J. GRAHAM'S pri vate Secretary to 'a place at this Board, the brother of that individual was engaged, at a large salary, as manager of the South 7 Eastern Railway line. Poor Sir JAMES ! In one respect=only—his official course is very like the course of true love—" It never cloth run smooth." He is always in a false position. Now writing didactic epistles to magistrates or governors of gaols, on the philosophy of imprison ment; or the moral luxuries of inventing model prisons, and enforcing the Penalty of solitary confine ment for certain crimes and misdemeanours ;—now breaking seals and opening letters in the sanctuary of the British Post-office, and afterwards causing them to be forwarded,' surreptitiously re-sealed, or to be clandestinely conveye&--not into the hands of the parties addressed by their writers, but, into thOse of diplomatic ' or other agents of foreign powers, for the secret information of the latter. Anon—his bigotry or his intolerance is within , an , ace of making shipwreck of the Government which rejoices in. his enviable co-partnership; and again, he is at his tortuous modes of defeating large and liberal plans of factory or of popular educa tion; of enhancing the privations and punishment of Parties imprisoned for debt; reforming prison and Poor-law-union dietaries.; or endeavouring to trample under' feet • the 'whole , of , .the general practitioner , branch of the medical profession. In the case before The rage ter speculating in railway schemes is even greater in France than in this country, and has ex cited serious alarm that the 'Oil' will go on increasing till"a panic takes place, the bUlible bursts, and tens of thousands becomes the victims. of their blind cupi ditY. From all accounts this mania is not confined to Paris; but extends very.generally to the provinces, as in England, and has such an alarming appearance, that a Bill is to be brought into the Chamber of Peers with the approbation of Government, with .a view to check the evil. The anomainus state of the laW is thus pointed out by the Journal des Debats, with the main 'provisions of the Bill, which is to be introduced forthwith :-- • . _ " If we are Well4informed, the: spirit of wild speculation which has been exhibited for some time past in railroads is to give birth in an early sitting. of the Chamber of Peers to a proposition -which some of the Members will bring forward with the assent Of.the Government. 'Each day sees a new company start: ft for lines already contended for by nume rous companies. The collective capital of the companies thus raised exceeds ten times the mass of the property that can be 'appropriated to undeitakings Of this kind.

By that means the number of lines, which might serve. as an occasion or pretext for the creation of a company, would be extremely limited. The contraven tion of-this enactment is to be punished by the penalties of imprisonment and fin, inflicted by 'article 419 of the Penal Code against manoeuvres at the , Bourse.- Tel render sub scriptions more. serious, and to . .prevent a real' or ,ficti tious exaggeration of the ' nominal capital of affairs in course of being: organised, it is 'to be enacted that the first payment must - amount to: a' fifth at least. Severe measures are to be taken to , prevent the abuses to which the deposits of considerable sums remaining for a length of time in hands not'very safe might give rise. The time during which a subscription is to remain open is to be exceedingly limited—not more than a month at most. That delay being past, of two things,. one either the subscrip tion has been made up, or the sums subscribed haVe been in sufficient. In the first case all fuhds paid into the projectors are. to be transmitted within a - short 'delay, a week for instance to - the Caisse des Depots et Consignations, which is to pay the interest to the Company, if the latter, having obtained the concession, shall - be definitively constituted, or to the sub scribers individually, if bolder or more fortimate competitor shall become the persons to whom the adjudication is made. Ire the second case—where the capital has not been sub scribed entirely—the repayment of - the sums paid in is to take place immediately after the expiration of the month." The late curious ' results, of the division by ballot appears ; to have made , a serious impression on 'the Chamber . ; as 'well as the Ministry, .and , the proposition of-,M.

In the House of Lords last night, on the motion of the Earl of SIIAr TESIRTRY, it was agreed that no petitions for private ' Bills should be received after the sth of April, and that no report of the judges on such Bills should be received after the sth of June. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice of his inten tion to introduce a Bill on the subject of Charitable Trusts. After the Marquis of NORMANDY had drawn their Lordships' attention to the hasty manner in which Bills were hurried through at the close of a session, Lord BROUGHAM rose to present a petition, com plaining of the delays which took place in the Court of Bankruptcy, in consequence of the non-attend ance of the Commissioners. A short conversation ensued, and ultimately Lord BROUGHAM handed the petition to the LORD CHANCELLOR in order that an inquiry might be instituted so as to give the Commissioners an opportunity of offering some explanation. Their Lordships then adjourned until Thursday. The House of Commons met at a Quarter before Four o'clock, and Sir T. FREMANTLE took the oaths and his seat for Buckingham. After the presentation of various petitions, the Railways Bills Committee of Inquiry was appointed, on the motion of Lord G. SOMERSET. Among the notices of motiou given was one by Mr, WALLACE for the 25th inst., on the subject of the Court of Session in Scotland, and one by Mr. ROE BUCK on the subject of the Acts passed' by' the Cana dian Legislature. Sir J. GRAHAM promised to lay the returns which had been moved for on the subject of the Ecclesiastical Commission, on the table of the House before Easter- The Right Hon. Baronet also stated, in answer to Lord DALMENT, that he thought he should introduce some measure on the subject of the Scottish Poor law during the course of the present session. Mr. WALLACE then rose to submit to the House the motion of which he had given notice on the sub ject of railways. , He objected to the Railway Com mittee of the Board of Trade as an unconstitutional body, but at the same time said that he had no objection to make personally to any member of that Board. He complained 'that, by their proceed ings, they were discouraging competition, and de priving the people of a free trade in railways, without which they must virtually become the slaves of the railway companies. In allusion to the Rail way Committee Which had been appointed in 1844, he said it was a one-sided Committee, consisting prin cipally of persons connected ,vith existing railways, and that its reports .were received with distrust. He attributed all the speculation and gambling which had arisen, to the publication , of the Committee of the Board of Trade of their awards in the Gazette. The Hon. Gentleman then animadverted on the high rate of fares charged on English railways for third class passengers; and on the inconvenient times at which the third-class trains started ; while, in Scot land, in consequence of the railways being exposed more to competition, the poorer classes were better accommodated, and at a cheaper rate. He was op posed to railway amalgamation, as it was against the interests of the public ; but he was - in favour of rail way competition, in order to support which he proposed that companies should be required to give in tenders of the cheapest rate of conveyance. Railways, he contended, were public property, and therefore ought to command the attention of the Legislature. lie proposed that, with a view to ascertain correctly the statistics of railway travelling, a set of experi mental carriages should be worked by the Post-office ; and concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill, repealing the Railway Act of last session. Mr. EWART seconded the motion, but doubted the policy of balling upon the Government to take tenders for the formation of different lines from different companies. He' thought that the Government ought to abstain from all interference in the matter, and proposed that a board of scientific men should be appointed to advise Committees of the House on such matters as might be submitted to them by those Com- mittees. Lord llovezciE contended that, under existing cir cumstances, it would be impossible to constitute an impartial tribunal to adjudicate upon the claims of competing lines of railway, and proposed, as a remedy, the adoption of the plan acted on in France and other Continental countries, 'while, in order to do justice to the projectors of lines of railway, he thought that Parliament might fairly call upon the parties to whom the line should be conceded to make them a proper remuneration. The Noble Lord concluded by urging on the House the necessity of adopting some measure on the subject, or it would be utterly impossible for them to get through the 248 Railway Bills which were to be submitted to their consideration this session. Colonel Sturnoar, although not often agreeing with the Noble Lord, did certainly agree with him on this subject ; but asked how it was that the Noble Lord had not made these suggestions on former occa sions ? The Gallant Colonel then alluded to the ques tion he had asked the other night, as to whether any of the members of the Board of Trade Committee were connected with railway schemes, and said that he at least should be an impartial juror, for he never h►d been, and newer would be, connected with any railway. Mr. GISBORNE deprecated any interference with the policy of the Act of last session, which contained nothing authorising the Board of Trade to publish their decisions in the Gazette. He attributed no dishonour to the members of that Committee, but there could be no doubt but that their decisions had transpired before they were published, and those de cisions had created such distrust, that he thought it advisable that some less objectionable tribunal should be established. Mr. J. S. WORTLEY thought the Committee of the Board of Trade ought not to have published their , decisions until they had communicated them to Pirliament. Mr. .WARBURTON objected to the plan of Lord HOwicK, as tending to divert capital from British to foreign railroads. The. remedy for the evils com plained of was to admit the fullest and fairest com petition, and to give every opportunity to new com panies to compete for new lines. Mr. BANKES complained of the preference given by the Board of Trade to the Great Western over the South-Western Company's line of railway, through the part of the county with which he was connected. Sir ROBERT PEEL hoped the House would post pone coming to any decision on the subject. If it could be shown that the Board of Trade had come to an, impolitic decision in rejecting any line, he felt assured that the line would receive every consideration and attention. The value of the decisions of the Board would rest entirely upon the grounds which they could give for their decisions. Until those grounds should be known, it would be utterly im possible for the House to determine definitively what course it should adopt. In the meantime, he hoped that no interference would take place with the present practice . of the House.

The official document may be expected shortly.—Falmouth Packet • GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER RAlLWAY.—Yester day an accident trifling in its ultimate result, but of great ankinuni nent danger at the moment of its occurrence, was well nigh marring the hopes and wishes of the partisans of this railway. The return train at nine o'clock having arrived in full speed in fifteen minutes from Rochester, the carriages were unhooked at the terminus, when the engine, unchecked in its. velocity—the break not having as it seems been put on—darted through the great gates at the terminus, which were closed, and, to the terror and dismay of the multitude outside, proceeded to within three feet of the edge of the basin of the canal, which fronts the gates within about a hundred and fitly yards of them, where an obstruction fortunately checked the en gine's progress, and saved it from Immersion in the basin, which in this place is nineteen feet deep. During the day not loss than four hundred people went between Gravesend and Rochester by the railway, and not twenty by the coaches and omnibuses plying between those towns. THE ROYAL SLEDGE.—WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—In consequence of the heavy fall of snow at Brighton (which appears to have been general throughout the country) during a great part of yesterday, a special messenger was dispatched from the Pavilion to Windsor last evening, with her Majesty's commands for the royal sledge and ponies to be forwarded to Brighton without delay, for the use of the Queen and Prince Consort. The magnificent sledge and splendid pair of ponies, which have been trained for sledge-driving, left Windsor this morning early, for Slough, proceeding thence by the first np-train to Paddington, to arrive at the London-bridge terminus of the Brighton Railway in time for the half-past ten o'clock train, and to reach Brighton between twelve and one o'clock. An immense quantity of snow fell throughout this neighbourhood during the past night, in many places to the depth of between two and three feet. Should a rapid thaw set in, there - is no doubt that the low lands, especially in the vicinity of the Thames, will be flooded to a great extent. His Majesty the King of Hanover has become a member of the New Conservative Club House, St. James's-street, which will be opened on Tuesday, the 18th inst. ATTEMPT TO SET FIRE TO THE QUEEN'S THEATRE, MANcREBTLA.—MANcriEsTEit, MoNDAY.—Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, flames were discovered issuing from underneath the large stage-door at the hack of the Queen's Theatre. Au alarm was iin nunediately given, and by the prompt assistance of the persons pre sent it was speedily extinguished, when it was found that some com bustible materials bad been thrust under the door, and could only have been recently ignited. The damage done is very trifling. A reward of 501. has:been offered by. the police for the Also:wen , of the party.

(Sittings in Banco after Term.) THE VEIN •. THE COMMISSIONERS Of EXCISE.--JUDGMENT. Lord DENMLN pronounced the judgment of the Court lo this case. This was an application for a writ of mandamus to compel the defendants to grant a permit for the removal out of bond of two casks of spirits , which had been imported from Jersey. It ap peared that the spirits had been regularly imported, but when they came in it was urged, on the part of the defendants, that they were subject to all the Excise regulations to which spirits manufactured in England were subject. Amongst other things it was necessary that a request note should be delivered, and it was clear that in this case no sufficient request.note had been delivered ; but for the applicant it was contended that this was net necessary. That question depended on the 52d section of the 4th and sth of William IV., and upon looking at that Aet the Court were of opinion, that though the applicant had taken all the steps enume rated in that section, yet, because there were other steps to be taken which were omitted by the applicant, and because he refused a proper request.note, they thopght that the rule must be discharged. TER BARON DE DOVE V. THE QUERN. The arguments in this case were renewed this morning by Mr, Young, who addressed the Court on behalf of the suppliant. BAIL COURT.-(1 HIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius before a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V GONIPEETZ. This case bas been left over till the Easter term. The jury who were in attendance complained of the Intolerable hardship of being called upon some five times, and hoped that definite arrangements would be come to to prevent such a thing in future. COCKER V. MUSGROVE. This was an action brought against the late Sheriffs for Middle sex, for an imperfect return to a writ of execution, issued by the plaintiff against a person named Strenitz, a manufacturer of teaselated paving. The defendant pleaded that there were five other executions on the premises, and that therefore the latter could not stand. . . . The case, which was equally uninteresting as it was lengthy, had not concluded in time for press. LAMBETH.-(THIS DAY.) ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE IN ONE OF THE CEI.I.B.—,SOTRAI Freeman, a woman about forty years of age, apparently under the influence of nervous excitement, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton, charged with creating a disturbance in Arlington.street, Waterloo-road, and with attempting to commit suicide by stran. gling herself, in the cell in which she was confined at the Tower_ street station. Police.constable 159 L stated that at half-past twelve o'clock last night he found the defendant making a great noise in Arlington. street, by screaming and calling out " Murder I" and " Police!" She was in an excited state, and though not absolutely drunk, she was under the influence of liquor. Police-constable, 67 L, stated that when he locked the defendant up she told . him that she would never come out alive. Shortly afterwards she made an attempt to strangle herself with her apron. string, and would no doubt have destroyed herself tf he had not prevented her. Serjeant Evans, of the L Division said, that the defendant was now under , bail foi having attempted to commit suicide by jumping off Waterloo-bridge. _ _ . _ In answer to , questions put to her by Mr. Norton, the woman, who trembled violently and cried, stated that her husband, who was a water Man, and to whom she had been married four years, was continually in the habit of brutally ill-using her. She had been to fetch him from a public•house last night, and had some beer with him. On their return hothe be knocked her about, and she ran out of the house for protection, and unless she had done so be would have murdered her. Mr. Nonvors.--But how could you think of such a dreadful thing as to commit suicide? The defendant—l was not in my right senses. Sometimes I do not know what I am about. My husband does not give me his earnings. Fre quently, I do not get more than Is. 6d. a-week. I a unit endeavouring to jump off Waterloo-bridge. My husband's bad temper drove me to it. Police-constable, 67 L, stated that the husband, who came to the station-hOuse, and who had some marks on him, said that be had been strtick'by the defendant. The defendent admitted striking' Mm, but added that it was in self-defence. Het husband took her by the hair of her head and dashed her against a copper. She had been cruelly treated by him. Mr. NoaToX directed the officers to obtain the attendance of her husband, and remanded the defendant until he could be brought before him. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY. John Shea was charged with robbing Emma Thompson of ss. A weighing' machine was placed in Phoenix-street, Somers. town, as a decoy for the simple passengers. A crowd soon col. lected, anxious to have themselves weighed, most of whom had their pockets lightened in a very short time. The prisoner was caught pickisig Miss Thompson's pocket, and it clearly appeared that he was one of a gang of thieves who infest the neighbourhood. The gentleman who presided over the weighing department de. camped' as soon as the members of the lightening corps found their vocation spoiled. The prisoner was fully committed for trill.
