TUBE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 24 1 1851, GERMANY. . i rahlifort journals state that, independently of ides the promotion of its other plans, Austria —Tose, as soon as the sittings of the Diet open, t,ahlistiment of a Central Executive, specially for ;ring the public security throughout all the If the Confederation. The former police not c'- .rganized for rapid and common action for one , was inefficient, and the present plan will strengthen it and give it a more military organiza tion, or place under it a large portion of the mili tary force of each state, to carry out immediately the orders of the Central Commission, which will be se parated from the Executive Government of the Bund. ~~~ Ste STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCIIESTEIt, TUESDAY.—The increased excess of receipts at the American ports has contributed to a still further weakening of public confidence in the present value of the raw material; and this effect has, in its turn, operated utifavouranly upon the market for yarns and goods. In general, an impression that some fur ther . decline in prices must take place has kept the buyers y.'ry much aloof from business; and the a4gre gate of the da"'s transactiens is thereore inconsiderable. 'lh-re in some respects, a good deal of variance be tween the experience of different persons—some having bad more offers or found rather more inquiry; others making an opposite statement; all agreeing, however, as to an unfavourable tendency in prices. There is no doubt that the German merchants (whose advices show an active consumption at home, with very scanty sup plies) are restrained from operating lamely in yarns , rolely by the view above re:erred to; arid, as it is , Porno of thy in have been induced, by the concession of o r id. per lb., to venture upon purchtves of fair amount. Same i,f the makers of domestics have also succeeded in selling on slightly reduced terms. • noCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has been a quiet market to-da) ; a thin attendance of buyers, an d a 119,ited num ber of sales. The wool market has bee n dull, with litle duietr, and prices stationary. We h a ve no alteration to MACCLESFIELD, TUMIDLY.— en tho state ofthe n 3 vtry little business is doing;a7dutyesterday goods trace; being Easter r closed for the Mond , y, most of the warehouses were usual holidays. In thrown silk . there is absolutely no thing doing, the recent transactions in raw, which it is now ascertained were done at a reduction of ls. 6J. per lb. on previous prices, havieg destroyed all confidence fur the present. TIJESDIT.—In our market of to-day EIUDDERSFIEL flittwas has prevailed, and generally not so much bu,i ness is transacted on a holiday Tuesday. The stocks in the Clouds Ball are visibly on the increase; and the trade . Woollens, of the lower qualities, is flat at pre sent. A fair business has been done in the fancy trade; an d light goods, of new puterns, have taken very freely. The waT enousc-.9 have been doi ng a f a i r h ome tr .d e dur iag t h e week. The export warehouses are flat at present. HALIFAX SATIMDAY.—There were not many buyers in our Piece Hall to-day; and they manifested great settle ance to purchase to any extent. There is more doing in yarn, and the quotations exhibit a little more firinuess. The same may be said of wool, which is selling more traly, at fully late rites. LEEDS, I• CEsDAY We nave had only a quiet market to-nay at the Cute Halls, but there bac been a fair quan tity ef goods delivered to order. Business continues rather dull in the warehouses for the home trade; but the shipping houses are busier. THE CHARGEAGAINST THE MASTER OF ST. PAI‘CRAS WORKHOUSE. Oa Tuesd4y the usual wek kty coveting or toe oirectors and gu4rdians of the poor was het t in the Board-room of St. Pancras Workhouse, Mr. Churchwarden Bltsr in the chair. Al te r some general conversation respecting the charge preferred against the mater of the workhouse, Mc. E. HICK:HAN said that he observed in the report of the proceeding , befure the mogistrate, that Mr. Combo ordMed that the master shouia have no communication with the girl Edz t H. (sir. IL) did Lot under stand how the magi,trate's order could be enforced v+ hile the master was in full pa-session of his olEcv, which he continued to execute.—(H-ar, hear.) Me. Churchvvarden FRAZER said that every card was taken to prevent the comusunication. The girl was placed ucder the care of a paid nurse, who was directed to prevent her seeing the waster or any one else, except ing the surgeon. Mr. liICKMA.N—Who could or who dare prevent the master seeing or speaking with the girl? If any one dared to prevent him he (the master) could discharge the person. Mr. Coos. (the clerk)—lf the nurse disobeyed the or ders of the board she would be dismissed.—(Hear.) Mr. HICKMAN cared nothing about ‘• ifs" or buts," he only wished to be informed whether all communica tion tier ween the master and toe girl was prevented? Mr. Churchwarden FRAZER—The aorta was ordered not to allow any communication between them; and way further inturmed that a disobedience of the order of th , hoard would be attended with her dismissal. Mr. UICKMAN put the question as a matter of duty, becauae Mr. Combo had emphatically forbid any com munication between the master and his accuser. . Mr. Cooss—That was not correct, for Mr. Combe not only interdicted all communication between the master and the girl, but also between her playmates, and all par ties likely to influence her.—(Hear.) Mr. HlCKMAN—Justice to the master, to the girl, to the public, and to themselves, rendered it necessary that the magistrate's order should be strictly observed. Mr. DANE—And so it MIS. Mr. Churchwarden FRAZER—She was not left in care of the schnolmivrress, b‘ecau4e a repnrt prevai:ed that a bad feeling exis'ed between her and the master. Tne subject here dropePd. the nnard adjourned. THE FitIiVILEY GANG. EXTRAORDINARY DISCLOSURES. LEWES, TIIESDAY.—Since the committal of James llamil',on (the magistrates having refined to take his evidence on behalf of the Crown), he has made a fall confession of all the burglaries which he and the gang hive been engaged in during the last twelve months. The document is of a very evraordinary character, and shows the immense amount of daring posses,ed by these He has also made tome revelations to the police officers engaged in the case, by which they have been enablA to discover the receivers of the stolen property, but from obvious reasons we are at present prevented from mentioning their names. It is, however, believed that some portion of the great amount of valuable pro perty watch has been stolen may yet be restored to the owners. Hamilton, in the commencement o of his confession, states • that the gang co ns i s t e d wood and Samuel J f t himself, Lani Her - one+ ( , huz u f m or an t i hemurder of Mr, Holiest), Samuel Harwood, Edward jt Isaacs, Wirliatn Brooks, Joseph Carter. John and alit a m s e m s Hones,, alias smith, Hiram Smith, Thomas Toot, William Hillyer, John Brooks, Mary Crowder, Sarah White, and James Junes. John I-sacs was duly elected captain, and all the others acted under his direction Tdey were all sworn to obe y the orders of the captain, and if - any one attempted to back out, or refused to take part in any robbery or murder, if necessary, he or she Wara to be instantly shot; and if any one left the gang without the consent of the ca p tain, he or she were to be followed, and if overtaken to be shot." _ A.C.cr giving the particular s of the burglary at Kird ford, which has been already published, he goes on to s " y:—" The second day after this Isaacs and John agt ; ed l t eam* , to me again at Farnham common, and coomac ior me to meet them at Dorking Homewood- Hoops n- Isaacs ' brother, Ned, came to me, also John house . and James Hones. We all wrnt to an old man's (a farmer near Horsham). They heard he had got a goocrde l of from thiati.,m a money. We all went, two at a time, Mr. Broadw eed a7ood. Six oF us met in a wood war. a lodge, and then we the farmer' s h, went from there to in in at the backdoor. One got in at the window and let the old man heard us -door. We all went in the kitchen. Tne es , and teamed out, and we all 1-. it the houses. Four - ot Isaacs, went William Brook+, and JAMBS and Edward 114 w: i t down to a house on Hayward's Heath, near the et stien, where two or three ladi-s of the name of keurthard lived. This robbery was planned by William Brooks, who knew the Dame. There Was a mats servant who was ill, and' a msid servant, who slept in the same room to watch e;; suss[ the window,•whera l. him. Her bed was right thpeutight w..s. The servant because it the man was ill burnt a light all night, I found a long ladder, and the window. It c e p a i servanttn one side.

They coll,cted all the property that ther e. wmePeii the Tn e y threatened to blow out the brains of the larliesi th,y gave any alarm. We were there two hours, during which time I sat down in a chair with the two servants, 4 eurt k-pt ta . lking to them all the time. It was just get ting daylight when we left the house. We came back looped a time until we got to Copthorn. There we - , u the pro rt over, and shared what money there Was; at . z F ie y foreign • s. each was shared. There was a deal of amongst nlone, which I took to be French; this was put gold the plate , and 111 guineas in gold, and that was Put with the go ._ ld watc-hes • There were two g.

These The three guns we re hid b y the roadsire after it. companions all went t o g ether to London, an d t h ey l#37 three d gaveat thorn-common, where we had four tents.. About an hour after I had left the me n, and bad returned to CoP thorn-coMmon-and was pack in g u p my thin g s, tw o licemen came along. They k new Brooks's wife, andtn t quired for Brooks; and they came and asked me where I was going? I told them I did not know, as I was a stranger to the country. They searched the tents, but they did not search me, although I had the money on me which I had shared. This was the same morning as the robbery at Hayward's-heath. Whilst the men were sharing the money the women hid the clothes, and that was wby the policemen did not find them. The po licemen knew the women, and watched them, and talked to them for half an hour. I then moved to a place called the Chesnut., by myself, but one Sent with John I2aacs's wife, afterwards came there. The two 4rooksea and John lia,acs and myself bad each oilb wife and one tent, and I had a little girl with my wife. John Isaacs was to meet me at the Chesnuts", after he had sold the property. He was gone a week or better. When ha came back he said there was only 30s. each, besides the guineas, of which he had only sold one, with the other gold, to see what it would fetch, keeping the others back, so that the Guildford mau should not have his share of them. He took the guineas again to sell, and gave me a sovereign down, on a promise to pay me the remainder; but he did not give me any more money. There was a quarrel amongst us about a large quantity of plate, which some of them said Isaacs had concealed and bought h is waggela with- Shortly after this Dell in with Win. Brooks again, near Heufield, in Sussex, and I and Ned Isaacs went back again with Brooks. We all three met in Winchamd - line, neat Henfield, and from t here to a place cal:e Hamnledon, Surrey, to break open a shop there. B(ooks and Ne f Isaacs broke it open, whilst I watched in front; they got in and took out two large old cheeses, a quantity of tobacco, and a quantity of tea, and about a pound weight of snuff, a loaf of bread, and a pound of new butter. They drunk what wine they liked, and brought me out some in a quart pot, and then filled a three quart bot;le to bring away. We three returned back to and I uud Ned Isaacs did nut meet W inch an-lane ag ain, John I,aacs at the tune expectid. We aferwards went to Copthurn-common fur Es iew days; I think we itayed there a week. On the afternoon of Tuesday, the 31st of December last. we, James Hamilton, John Li 4 4 CS, Joseph Carter, alias Cockrnan, John Smith, alias Hones, James Smith, alias lienes, Themai Toot, alias Morgan, William Hill yvr, and William Brooks met. After various mes,ages and communications between ourselves, I (Hamilton) and Brooks and his wife, and James Smith, came on from Edenbridge to Crowboroa;h. The other five men whom we met at Elenbri,ige agreed to meet us at Groombridge, at a barn there just outside. These five men went to break open a public-house of Master Ken nard's, called the Oid Pie. These five men met us out of Groombridge next morning, just about daylight. Brooks went to look after them, and found them in the corner of the wood clerk, to the road. Trey geve us a plum-cake and a bottle of wine, and some whisky, and tebicco dune up in pennyworths. I (Hamilton) had four, James Smith had four. We (same) three men and the wo•ean went on again, having agreed to meet the Eve men the same afternoon (Wednesday) just off Orowborough-common, in a foreign on the tlekfitla side. Three of us, Isaacs, Carter, and myself, went into Miss Farncombe's house, and gut there between eight and nine o'clock to lay in front tithe house and see how many lights and watch th.m to bed. We saw the latter fasten the front door. When the house was dark and quiet we were to go back te some haystacks close by, where we eight were to meet until it was time to go. We all met at the haystack between the pay gate and the house, on the opposite side to Miss Ferncombe's. We all went to Miss Farncombe's house, and as we were going we met a woman and either two or three men on the road. We were all- eight together then. We had left Brooks's wife back at her uncle's, at Crowborougb. There are two gates to Miss Farncombe's house, one for a foot road leading to the beck dour, and one the carriage road. We left James Smith just inside the little gate to watch. Some of us went down the big gate, having me (Hamilton) to catch these in case any one came along be road, and to give notice if any one should. Torte or tour men came along soon afterwards. I watched them safe away, and did not give any alarm to those in thi house. In a little while two more men came along and passed. I think they were gamekeepers. Just befor' they got into toe house, one of them came out to me end said,. • I am going to stand near that little bush.' Thomas Morgan and he desired me to give him notice any one c 'tee, and he would let teem Reuse. Wheu the two gam keepers came along I snit to telt I/Orgill, gird did nut find him; and soon after he (elorg.n) cruse to we and brought me a bottle of wine. He said they had got in, and were rutematsine below. Morgan wen: bark to the house, and a little atterwards he returned to me again, and he said, • They be all come out, and they think they heard somebody.' They all came out up to this little gate, and there tney all stripped and pulled oft their clothes and shoes, and pat on their masks, and said, •We will tali go up.' We were all eight together then•. I left the gate to meet them, and after talking about . leaving some one ourside, we all agreed to go into the house together. We all eight went in through the pautry window, but Morgan, who was first ready, ran forward to the house and got a light. We seven, seeing the light, thought there was somebody come down. Isaacs, with an oath, said, Oh, come alone:, follow me; give me the pistols, and I will go and fix him.' When we got to the house we found it was Morgan with the light. Then we all went in through the pantry window to the kitchen or front parlour, where we found the butler's coats and some of the females' bonnets. Brooks put one of the bonnets on, and Carter put un another; and we put the butler's coats on, and I (Hamilton) put one on handed me by Morgan. We all searched about the house. W. found the canisters. Four of us went up one pair of stairs, and four the other. Isaacs, John Smith and myself, and another, went up one stair case. The first room we went into there were two ladies. ',sacs gave me the candle, and I followed him. There was no violence in that room. Isaac:. broke open everything that was broken open, and I held the candle to him. Issacs asked the ladies where the plate was. The ladies said, • That is in the pantry, down stairs.' Isaacs and the others took all the valuable things in that room. They went into another room, leaving me behind, holding the candle. I did not take anything in that room. They left me there to mind the doors, and the ladies begged of me to go outside, for they would be still. 1 had a mask on all that time. I went outside, holding the door in my hand. I never left the door but once ail the time the rest were rum waging about the house, and that was while they were going into another room where there was, I believe, only one lady. I heard the lady scream, and ask, Is that. you, William?' I said, Yes, it is William, maul, don't be frightened; nothing is the matt--r.' Carter was at the door with a pistol in his hand, and when I made answer, It is William,' he turned round and was going to shoot me, only I sung out, all right.' Then I returned back to the door again to mind the two ladies, and there I remained until they were all ready to leave the house. Isaacs returned back to the room where I was, and said, Take that little box under your arm.' The ladies had before that begged that it might not be taken, because it belonged to their grand tether, I think they said. I took the box down stairs. amid we all went away together. This was between fuur anti five o'clock iu the morning. When we came out we turned to the left and went up the road. We al► eight kept together until we cattle to Crowborough common, to the sorest near the road as we came. We turned off the main road at the top of the hill to the let'', and went across the common and a wheat-field anti down into a wood, and there we all eight sat down, and had some breakfast from what we had brought from the house, consisting o f some hare, veal, roast mutton, and I think some hog's-meat, some loaves of breed, two whole cheeses, amid two raw hams. We all shared this after breakfast, a sovereign and 7s. each iu money, but there was a deal more money smuggled amongst them selves. I (Hamilton) bad a 51. note also, which I got out of a pocket-book which Isaacs gave me as we went along to carry, and put it into my pocket. There was a good many more notes in the book. I gave him the book. and Isaacs took out the notes and gave me the book agein, because the others knew I had gut the book. He said he would give me half what he got for the notes This was going along before our breakfast. After the breakfast and after the sharing of the money we looked the plate over, and broke up what we thought was not silver. There were two gold watches and two silver ones; the two gold watches were along with the plate, and tne silver plate which came from the Old Pie public house was put along with it. The two silver watches were put up amongst us for those who would give most tor them. Carter was the highest biddy r at Ils. for the small watches; and the other one, a double cased one, was taken by Morg la for 255. I' he trinket, were all ti•-d up togeth,r and put with the plate. bates took all the plate, &c. in a fl ig basket. A cutlass w is taken Irma the house. and a tree chopped with it. Hillyer took the cutlass. We stayed in the wood until nearly ten o'clobk in the morning. We parted at the wood that Thursday morning. I and James Smith and John Smith came away and parted from the other live, who went another way up through toe wood. We agreed to meet at another place, and before Lases took toe plate to L )ndon we were all eight to meet at Wallitigham on tne Fridity night. We three went on to Groom bridge, and John Smith was so tired that we could Dot get him along the road. We went into the public-house at Grotimnridc, where we had a good deal of beer. We there got tipsy. I dropped a sovereign, and John Smith picked it up and put it into his picket, and took a shilling out of the other pocket amid offered it to me. I hid him taken by the constable. The sovereign I dropp d was what was Oven me in the wood. The constable took John Smith into custody upon my charge to Tunbridge Wells that (Thursday) atternoon. I slept at Groombridge tnat night in the inn, and James Smith was put into the stable. Wheo I was t i PsY the laadlord took 184. 61 from me to take care of. In the morning, when I gA up, I asked the landlady for my money, which she re used to give me until she had seenh the constaole. I went to the constable, and told ort I would r ath e r l o se the sovereign, and pay a i n n d his ex penses, than go on with it. Toe constable told me the e xpenses to make it up would be a so vereign;ht I had betcerle a a w v a e y th as e 18s. 6d6d. y * 's hands, and g et fast as I c ou ld , rather than go to the Wells. I and James Smith start e d on the road for Tunbridge Wells, and then turned into a wood; and after we had got two miles half a dozen persons were after us, and took us. The beginning of all this was I was living at Woking common with my wife, and Eituyer lodged with me. About a week before Christ mas a man named Thomas Gaines came to me at Woeing-common, with a message f r om Isaacs to send Hilly er after T om Toot, alias Morgan, to Shotter's mill, at Sarsams. Idillyer started away the day after Christmas-day after Toot, and re turned with Toot to my house on the Saturday, and Issues was to come himself by the first third-class train from Reading to Woking, and I was to meet him. I met him there. lie came to my house the same Saturday afternoon, expecting to flud Hillyer and Toot that Satur dayh did nut come. Isaacs stayed with night. Th e y me all Sunday n i g h t. Isaacs went alone on Sunday morning to Edenbridge, and on the way met t he t wo Hones, alias Smiths, and asked them to be of the party. Toot and Hillyer were t here before us. Broo ks and Carter were there also. That made eight." It is estimated that the amount of property stolen by these men during the last two years cannot be less then 1 ,,,1. 54301 - When Isaacs was apprehended at Frome Mr. the superintendent of the Tunbridge Wells Police, succeeded in tracing to the possession of the pri soner a valuable diamond ring, a gold chain, and a silver hunting watch, which were a portion of the property stolen from the Misses Farnoombe in December last. These articles were on his person, a nd in the house where he was st a yi ng , Mr. w a t eu immediately seized them, and the friends of the prisoner firthwith applied to the county court at Frome, and procured a summons, which has been served on Mr. Morton for the amount of 10/. 10s., the alleged value of the articles. It will be seen, from the statements above given, that the band of burglars known as the " Frimley gang" is now c impletely broken up. At the last sitting of the magistrates, the Chairman of the bench publicly stated that the whole credit of the capture of these daring men, and the exposure of their system, was due to Mr. Bid deleombe, the superintendent of the Surrey police.

THE REV. DR. WOLFF —This enterprising and indefatigable missionary traveller has Just started on a tour behalf of the funds s t u h i r t ou o g f h b t i h s e ev n a o u r g t e h l e ie r al n p l o a r b t o io u n rs s o o n t the kingdom, in pur for promoting Christianity among the Jews. While wait ing at a railway station, about midnight on Monday last, our attention was attracted by certain little eccentricities peculiar to the Bokhara traveller, with whom we soon fell into an interesting conversation. The Rev. Dr. was formerly f low -pupil with .the present Pope, and is now vicar of Isle Brewers, Stamerset ; his immediate destination is Glasgow and the northern parts of Scotland, including the Orkneys and classical lona, the burial place of St. Columba and of a host of Scottish monarchs. He will visit Sir John and Lsdy Matilda Maxwell at Pollock, and while in Glasgow will e g h o u t rc c h on a s l i o d u er e a b b e l i y ug in arrear, the debt remaining in the lecture b on behalf o f th e J ew i s h mission funds, wh i c h i t seems F a re ' : 3,0001. Notwithstanding his ad vanced age, and the undoubted trials and hardships which the African traveller has endured, he still looks well, and, on the occasion to which we have alluded, the railway officials had ample evidence that his physical strength and the vi gour of his lunge are not as yet materially impaired... Live rpool Chrpnicif. MIDDLESEX SESSIOIVS, April 23. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge.) John Thomas Cox, 46, WAS indicted for unlaWftilly publishing and having for sale a number of obscene and indecent prints and publications. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution (which was instituted by the Society for tne Suppression of Vice) ; and Mr. Payne for the prisoner. The evidence in support of the prosecution was shortly this :—lnspector Lewis, of the Tnames Police, who was also an officer under the Beard of Customs, and Police sergeant Chadwick, went to a shop kept by the prisoner, N 0.4, Holy well-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 an 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 thatin point of law the evidence did not ender 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 Learned JUDGE, in summing up, told the jury that in his opinion, if they were satisfied that the pri soner bad the horrible prints and books produced in his possession with the intention of publishing and selling them, they . would be 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 rained to the Court of Criminal Appeal, there would be no objection to his doing so. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. CLARKSON 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 be (Mr. Clark son) would now hand to the Court, to the solicitors of the society. ( The letter was handed to the bench.) The Learned JUDGE 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 for the Suppres sion of Vice the very grateful feelings they have ex cited, by sparing myself and family from the disgrace and ruin which must inevitably have fallen upon them and . myself, had the prosecation which im pended over me been permitted to proceed. Much of 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 offence I committed, which 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 ing even to a certainty of escape, could shake for one moment my fixed determination to abandon for ever a:1 traffic in these infamous and dangerous productions. It is, indeed, greatly to be deplored that any such publica tions ever should have existence, or .that writers can be f eind 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 calettlatel to undermine ;be virtue of youth, and to spread contagion and immo rality in every rank, and I entreat the committee to be heve 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 ob,ervation or knowledge. Such, gentlemen, are the sincere 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 oppertueity, 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, Gentlemen, with great respect, Your most obedient servant, " JOHN TIIO3ISS COX. " Messrs. Pritchard and Co., Lincoln's Inn-tields." The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to say that the Court required no other grounds for passing 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 50/., wi h two sure ties of 25/. 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 Wilheltnina Wagner a purse, and the sum of 51. ss. 6d. Mr. Addison appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Kieloch, a tradesman in Jereayn-street, stated that, on the 7th inst., he was in an omnibus going nrom 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 seats on the opposite side, next to the prosecutrix. One of them had a basket, and he saw h'-r hand fumbling about the prosecutrix's dress. Directly afterwards she gave a significant nod to the prisoner, who thereupon desired a pas senger whu sat nearest the door to request the conductor to stop, which he did, and the prisoner and the two women, with whom she entered the omnibus, got out. Witness noticed in the hand of the woman who had the basket, the end of a scarlet purse, where upon he spoke to the prosecutrix, and having ascer tained that she had been robbed, be 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 Gulden cross, Charing-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. G 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 garden- mews, near the spot passed by the woman who got away. The prosecutrix identified the purse as hers. Mr. AoutsoN, in his address to the jury, said the prisoner was a respectable woman, the wife of a car ver and gilder, and the mother of a family. Her answer to the charge was, that on the day in question she was proceedin g 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, end 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 • ionable character. One of her children was de formed. She lived in the Old Kent-road. The Learned JUDGE summed up the case with great minuteness, and remarked that it was unex plained how it was that whilst the prisoner lived in the Old Kent. road, she took an omnibus in the Hay market to go to Westminster Hospital. The 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 P' and she left the court with a number of persons who appeared to be anxiously awaiting the result. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. An elderly man, named Thomas Gordon, was charged with obtaining money by representing that he had claims on the Government. It appeared froin 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, be 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 corroborated her statement, stated that the prisoner had said in her hearing that he was entitled to prize 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 description could be brought against the prisoner if he was remanded. The prisoner being closely questioned by the ma gistrate, said be had been a mats on board a collier, and had been a number of years in India, and also -referred to Captain Eden, who he said would give him a character. Mr. HENRY, considering the case required further investigation, ordered the prisoner to be remanded. CLERKEN WELL. John Henry Eaton appeared to his bail, to answer the charge of having violated Eliza Smith, a pauper girl in the workhouse 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. tendance to watch the proceedings. Mr. Huddleston, with Mr. Wontner, attended for the defence. What took place was a mere reiteration of what occurred on the first examination, and the defendant was remanded. about 121. in gold end silver of my own money in the chest. The whole of the other m iney was the property or the Board of Orinance. I 1-ft toy office between half past one and half-past two o'clock on the Bth. The money was safe then. I first heard of the robbary about half-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 stGlen n,tt,s ace from 96,364 co 96 379, and 74,314 and 74,322. I know Cornish and Eve. They were termed I be lieve that Captain Tulloh can speak more positively as to this. John Barker exantinei—l am office-keeper and mes senger at the Royal Gunpowder Works. I remember having locked the door of the outer office 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 plsee I should have a view of the office, but not of the door. I afterwards came home to my cottage, near the entrance-ga'e, and hung up the key as usual. I locked the ou er d• or and ono inner door, and I saw that the other inner door was shut. I sv,nt to the office next morning about ten minutes past six o'clock. The outer door 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 first inner door. The inner door had been forced open, and was in splinters. I Saw that the next inner door had also been oiloken open, and then I came away. I went and asked the master mixer, John Fleming, to come and look. Ho came, and I then locked the outer door, and went for Mr. Topping, who came with other gentlemen. I know Cornish and Eve. They were mixing-house men and watchmen, and would, in 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. Griffiths, addressing the witness from the bench, said in his capacity as a magistrate, he had understood that he 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 extraordinery statement: — I am a gunsmith employed at Enfisldslock, and reside at Waltham Ahbey. I know the tour prisuuers. I re member being 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 ' room, and we went together outside of the door into the yard. He said, " Btll , I suppose you have beard of what was done last night?" " What?" I said. lie re plied," The robbery at the Powder Mills." I said, "Yes." He said. "Cornish and Eve are the two that done it." I said, " How do you know?" He replied, "I fetched the tools from Frank Hervey's field, and gave them to Cor nish." Frank Harvey's field is just below the Compasses. Griffilhs added, " I had to be in it, but I was shoved out of it." We retured into t h e house. Rowe was there. He said to me, " What has Jess been saying to 3 ou?" I said, " Nothing." He then said, " What have you been saying to Jess?" 1 replied, " Nothing." Rowe, then, making ti,e of an oath, said. " your eyes, I will make you as right , as myself if I get hold of the notes." I said, " Hold your tongue, you can tell me another time." Nothing else took place tha; ni g ht. Ch ar l es 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 said to me. Grifils, I think, did. On the Thursday evening I again went to Rowe's house about seven or eight o'clock. When I wont in Cornish ani Rowe were in the tap-room by themselves. I was there about an hour; nothing took place during that time, but as I 1, 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 go up in the morning with King the horse dealer." He told me there were eighteen 201. notes. On the following day I was at the Compasses from halt-past four to five. I sew Rowe then. He said, "I have been to London, and I can get 151. for each of the 20/. notes. which will make 270/." He added, " I have not 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 he does not like to let me 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 " Wh3?" He said, " Because they had not got the banker's signa ture on them." I did not understand what he meant. He said he had got 301. for the two notes he had-changed. and that be 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 Jes -ph Eve in the market-place for accusing him of be ing in the robbery. I ask. d him " Who said so?" He told me John Cornish. I said I had not; I nev.er knew nothing about it, and of course I 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.

FATAL IRIsH AFFRAY. - On Saturdaday an inquiry was commenced before Mr. John Woud, the coroner of York, into the cir cumstances attending the death of James Flannery, an Irishman, who died that morning in consequence 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 extent by them for the last few years, an extraordinary number of the peasantry of the sister country have located themselves within the walls of the city. The result has been frequent disturbances in Bedern and Longelose-laUe, where they chiefly reside, and it was in the latter street that the fatal occurrence we have now to describe took place. Flannery was more than 50 years of age, a widower, and the father of eight children, the eldest of whom is upwards of 20 years of age. Some of them are married, and the fsmiilies 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 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, bearing 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 atone 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 fur, he found that the skull was severely fractured. Flannery was quite insensible 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 deceased 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 sam e d ay, and were remanded. The coroner s investigation w 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 a ga i nst Michael Donellin, and also against James Donellin, for having aided and abetted his brother.

MARYLEBONE. Sarah Collyer, the young woman who has been twice examined before Mr. Long, upon the charge of having murdered her female infant. was again placed at the bar, when, after Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, had 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 Mi. Street, Trevor Arms, and Char/es Brown, son of Mr. Brown, land lord of the Somerset Arms, with their two assistants, John Furger and John Ryan, were brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with unlawfully selling beer at the Crystal Palace, Hyde-park, contrary to the Act of Parliament of 2d and 34 Victoria, cap. 47, sec. 7. Mr. Thomas Westbury Hall, cashier to Messrs. Fox and Henderson, the contractors, stated that for some time past considerable a nx i e ty 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, through several of the men being in liquor, and excit ing others to join them, the contractors were under the necessity of ordering the whole of the men, about 2,460, to leave off work at halt-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. Rix 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. In defence, Bartholomew and Brown said they had been in the habit, ever since the commencement of the building, of selling beer there, and they bad 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 2 i 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 exciseable 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 after wards another man was found lying drunk and asleep close by the same spot. Mr. HARDWICK said the defendants could not have been there so long without their conduct attracting the notice of some of the authorities. Tney 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. Hardwick) supposed that they allowed beer to be sold to those persons who brought heavy goods 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. Youngbusband, the refreshment con tractor for the Exhibition, bad provided a room on purpose for the accommodation 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 Committee, 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 40i. 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 Bartholomew and Brown : the other two defendants, who had acted as assistants, he should discharge wiih a caution. WORSHIP -STREET. 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 yea's of age. Mr. Wontner conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson, barrister, appeared for the defence. It having been intimated by the magistrate that be proposed at present to extend the bad for a week, for the purpose of having the notes of the evidence re duced to regular depositions, preparatory to the de fendant's committal upon the charge, Mr. Clarkson rose and said, that be should avail himself of that opprtunity 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 calcu►ated 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 had been inserted in the publication in question, and that it was altogether a most unfair and one-sided report of the proceedings. Mr. ARNOLD said that he had himself noticed the report to which the Learned Gentleman referred, and that he fully concurred in his observations respecting it. After a brief discu , 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 iJl'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 against a young woman, named Mary Wilson, 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 most successful system of plunder by stripping the children of respectable tradesmen of their clothes, and by various promises and representations coaxing them out of parcels and such property as they might be entrusted with ; and the police, after a long and a sharp look-out, ultimately succeeded in securing her. As many as twenty charges could be cleverly esta blished against her ; but Mr. Elliott deeming four cases selected from the number sufficient to answer the ends of public justice, the depot•itions were taken in them, and the prisoner fully committed for trial. THE ROBBERY AT THE WALTHAM ABBEY GoVERNMENT POWDER- IVORKS. WALTIIAM, APRIL 22.—The four men charged with being concerned in the daring robbery effected on the night of the Bth instant, at the Storekeeper's office of the Royal Powder-works, near this town, were brought up for re-examination this day, before the b2ncho 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 GriffirbA, Mr. J,ihn Speed DAvis, Mr. John Parnell, and Mr. Richard Arabia. The prisoners were brought from Ilford gaol, in the cu,tody of the governor of the prison at an early hour. At twelve o'clock they were brought before the bench. The court, from the moment the doors were opened, was densely crowded. The prisoners answered to their names as George Rowe, John Cornish, Charles Eve, and Jesse Griffiths. Mr. Prentice, a barrister, instructed by Mr. Clarke, so licitor to the Board of Ordnance, appeared for the pro secution. Mr. Parnell, the barrister, appeared for the prisoner Charles Eve ; Howe was defended by Mr. John WA ' l i n g• solicitor, of Clerkenwell ; Corni:l by Mr. Sidney Smith, of Barnard's Inn ; and Griffiths by Mr. Massey, of Edmonton. Mr. Prentice briefly stated the case for the prosecu tion, and said that he proposed to charge Cornish and Eve with the robbery, Griffiths as an accessory before and aft , r the fact, and Rowe with receiving the goods, knowing them to have been stolen. The first witness called was Mr. Henry Toppin g . He said—l am the storekeeper at the Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Works. There is an iron chest in a cleset adjoining my office. On the morning i,f the Bth instant I placed in that chest eighteen 2ul. notes, an d 961. 18s. 2 d. in gold , silver, and copp e r moneys.
