The National Assembly of Schleswig-Holstein held its last sitting on the 17th, and the retrograde move•- me nt of the Holstein army had commenced ; a bat talion reached Hamburgh on the 18th, on its way towards Plon. Another battalion in garrison at Ratz burg, had taken an oath of fidelity to the King of Denmark. The Austrian corps d'armee was being concentrated in Lauenburg, and it was supposed that it would remain some time in that province and in Holstein. The Federal and Danish Commissioners at Hamburgh had resumed their negotiations, and it was not doubted would come to an arrangement. The movements of the Prussian and Austrian troops, which were crossing the Elbe into Lauenburg, have been suddenly suspended. Advices from Hanover state that the Austrian columns have come to a stand-still in that capital. The cause of the delay is not accounted for. Count de Reventlow Criminil, acting for the King of Denmark, has assumed the government of the Duchy of Lauenburg. It is not true that Austria has been taking active measures for the abolition of the Sound duties. The question has been discussed by Austria and Prussia in the free c onferences, but the discussion has led to no result. The Danish plenipotentiary suggested that, if the duties were abolished, Denmark would be re duced to a state of dependance on England and. Russia. It appears now to be quite certain that Hol stein, and especially Rendsburg, will be occupied by Austrian and Russian troops. The Copenhagen papers of the 17th protest that no reduction will take place in the Danish army until Rendsburg and Friedrichsort shall have been given up to the troops of the King of Denmark. General Von der Horst, the late Commander-in- Chief of the Holstein army, has addressed the follow ing general order to the troops that are bebig dis banded or dismissed on leave : " Soldiers! On the occasion of your quitting the army I bid yea a hearty farewell, and I express to you the thanks of the country for the faithful service you have done to its caiLie„ The consciousness of having done your duty will accompany you on the path of life; may it add to your happiness and be your comfort in evil days. God bless you, comrades, whers.ver you go. " The Commanding-General, Von der Boum " Rendsburg, Jan. AS." IMPORTANT SEAMAN'S CASE. On Tuesday, six men were brought up in custody before Mr. Rushton, by police-officer Tuck, on a charge' of refusing to proceed to sea in the ship after signing articles. Thornes Ridley said he was master of the Crusader, and the whole of the men had sailed v..ith him in the ship on a voyage to Buenos Ayres. They had been at sea five days, and returned to port, when, they refused to go the voyage. Oee of the men said on the charge being preferred, that they would be obliged if the mate and the steward were sent for, es they would state that the captain had never been sober since the ship left the rive!, When the witnesses came, they were sworn, and 'Mr. Rushton addressed the mate, and said : " These six men are brought here for refusing to go to sea in the ship, alleging as a reason that the cap tain had not been sober since he left the river. Is that true ?" The mate, who seemed to answer unwil lingly, said he could not say that he had been altogether is pis proper settees during the voyage. The steward was.then called, and he said he could not say that the captain had been in his proper senses during the voyage. He had often given him spirits in his coffee, and he was not capable of managing the ship on a lee shore. The captain said he had never been in such a state. He had had a pilot on board for three days out of the five. Lie had not tasted spirits of any descrip tion. The. steward said, " I saw him fill a tumbler when he was not able to hold it to the cask." Mr. Rushton—What of ? The Steward—Rum, sir. Mr. Rushton said it was a very serious matter. It was his duty to take care that the men were not impri soned improperly. Tile sailor bad a right to guard aglieat a drunken- captain. Here was the mate, an unwilling witness, who was put on oath, and who sal • the captain.. was not fit for duty ; and the steward deposed, that he was not, only totally, unfit, but be had seen him drinking spirits by the tumbler, drawn out of the cask. Under the circumstances, and de cidiog by the evidence, be thought the men justified in not proceeding to sea. The owner, who was in court, said the men had refused to work when the ship was in danger ; and Mr. Rushton replied, that if such captains were put on board a vessel all confidence was lost. The captain said he bad sailed sixteen years out of Liverpool, and referred to his character during that time, when the magistrate remarked that it was a painful thing to do, as respected the captain, but it was due:to the men—they must be discharged. The men were then set at liberty ; but it was under stood that the owners would put a new captain in the ship, and that they would proceed on the voyage. A memorial from them to the owners was also read, setting forth the conduct of the captain in the form of a letter, from which it appeared he bad perilled the ship, not being able to distinguish the lights, and having to give up the commend of the vessel to one of the people to pilot her inside the Tuskar rocks, when she was in dangerous circumstances, and when, .but for this delegation of authority, she would have been lost. The letter, the magistrate remarked, was extremely creditable to the men.—Liverpool Courier. PAPAL AGGRESSION. ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY FROM THE IRISII PRELATES. The following is the address to her Majesty from the Prelates of the Established Church in Ireland, with the reply of the Secretary of State:— . " TO VIE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. And humble Address of the undersigned Archbishops, and Bishops of the United Church of England and Ireland. " May it please your Majesty,—We, the Archbishops an d Bishops of the Irish provinces and bishoprics of the United Church of England and Ireland, apporach your Majesty at this time with the humble tender of our duty, and the expression of our heartfelt participation in those sentiments of devoted loyalty to the Crown, and of unshaken attachment to the principles of the Reforms- Akin, which the reccut proceedings of the Bishop cf Rome have drawn forth so generally from your Ma jesty's subjects in England. Ttie same laws of the realm which have made one United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, have no less established one United Church of England and Ire land. And the Irish branch of that United Church, as it has always been faithful in the maintenance of the; union of the kingdom, so has it ever been and now is equally earnest with the English branch in denying the pretensions of any 'foreign prince, person, prelate, state, or potentate,' to any rightful jurisdiction, power, supe riority, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesiastical or spi ritual, within this realm.' " The recent exercise of such a pretended right by the Bishop o f Rome, in constituting a territorial hierarchy in England, subject to his supreme jurisdiction, is, happily, in that form, as yet a novelty in G reat B r i ta i n; b ut, un happily, it is not the first exercise of such pretensions within the bounds of the United Kingdom. For, in Ire land, where the prerogative of the Crown is by law one and the sam e as i n England, the Bishops of Rome have lon g ago pursued a course not dissimilar to that now at tempted in England. At the period of the Reformation, nearly all the Irish bishops renounced the Papal autho rity; and of these th e prelates of the Est ablished Church are indisp uta b ly the regular successors. It was not until after the lapse episcopate was grade a several years a new and rival has become politically 3i introduced by the Popes , w hieh this f ormidable to the stability of the United Chur c h in hi it s efforts t o make p r omote peace, u n i ty , and cwonncord knocouritry, besides obstr uctin g the Word of God, and among your Majesty's subjects. " We have thought it accessary to ad ver t to t h ese we ll-known facts relati ng to Ireland, Isec a use they seem to have been almost, it not altogether, lost the indignation which has beenexcited sight of, i n attempt of the Pope to exert the lik e power in Engl an d . the recent Uneasy apprehensions have been awakened withi n us called b by observing that, in the addresses, and resolutions and speeches, which that bold proced ure has f or th in England, all the concern manifested has f or the distinct and special defence of wh a t has beer c alled —by a title unkaown to the law---' the Church ofn .England.' .‘ We are convinced, indeed, that the silence which has been maintained in reference to the case of the Irish brancli of the Church is, in most instances, to be re garded as merely the result of the peculiar solicitude which m.n naturally feel for the part immediately as _ aailed, and which for the time ba nishes from their mind all interest in o r recollection ef, every other part ; and we are persuaded that it would be wrong to understand it as conveying any wish to divide the United Church, or any Opinion t h at, b e i ng united as it is, the interests of its component parts may be so dissevered that While bctn are exposed to the same hostile power, each may be content to defend itself, and still less, that the for its stronger may provide own safety by sacrificing its W e weaker associate.trust a great majority that ft of those who have allowed themselves our case in their anaiet for a time to orge about their own, must be aware that any p rmanent disregard of it would bo a grievous error in point of prudence as w knowing that different viewswithe lzl reference as But Sia3tiCA establishment i n t he + of principle. to the eccle . tained by Dot few in England,' and countries are enter that some suc h ill cousidered compromise a s we h ave g contemplated by them, we cannot bntlafneeelcdalaartmis s a t e tual what ever may tend to give effect to so short-sighted a scheme I "We are deeply impressed with the conviction that if the excitement now existing in England were to lead to the adoption of any measure calculated to impair the integrity of the United Church, or the completeness of the union between the two portions of it, such proceed ing would involve more injury to the whole Church and to the country than any acts of the Bishop of Rome, or any encroachment from without co uld possibly effect. The Irish branch might, and probably would, be the first sufferer from such false policy; but the English branch would ultimately be no less surely its victim. And how deadly a wound its fall would inflict upon all that constitutes the happiness and greatness of that favoured country, we trust it may not be doomed to know by unhappy experience. " We, confide, under God's good providence, in your Majesty's wisdom, guided and supported by both Houses of Parliament, to avert all such evils, by maintaining the union which happily exists between the countries and between the branches of the Church in both. How the aggressive proceedings of the Bishop of Rome ought to be guarded against and counteracted we do not presume to suggest. But we are anxious distinctly to state that we have no desire that they should be met by any restraints affecting the just rights of conscience of any of your Majesty's subj e cts. It is our humble prayer that whatever may be the defensive measures determined on for securing the National Church against injury, the two portions of it may not be regarded or treated as having separate interests, but that one and the same legislative protection may be extended to both branches of the Church iu common.

MEETING IN THE itc.TUNDA.,—A notification appears in the Dublin papers to the effect that " a general meet ing of Protestants opposed to Papal usurpation," will be held in the round-rcom of the Rotunda on Tuesday next; Mr. Grogan, one of the city Representatives, to preside. It is stated that " the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Roden, the Earl of Enniskillen, the Earl of Glengall, the Earl of Clsncarty, Lord Dunaway, Mr. George Alexander Hamilton, M.P.; Mr. Joseph Napier, M.P.; and several other influential peers and commoners have signified their intention of being present, and tak ing part in the proceedings." THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDA THE INCOME-TAX. If any tokens were wanting to denote the approach of the Parliamentary session, they would be supplied in abundance by the numerous meetings which are being held throughout the country with the view of obtaining relief from this or that particular tax. One financial reformer would pluck one plume from the wings of the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; another, another. The result would be, if the demands of all claimants were satisfied, that Sir Charles Wood would hare but an empty till to show when the public servant applied for his quarter's salary, or the public creditor for his half-year's dividend. We are not, however, about just now to discuss the merits of these various applications.. On proper occasions we have not been slow in declaring our convic tions upon the policy of extending relief from taxa tion rather in one direction than another, whenever the circumstances of the country do, in point of fact, admit of the extension of relief to the overburdened tax-payer. We would rather once again call atten tion to the propriety of modifying the method of assessing one tax in particular during the course of the ensuing session. Within a few weeks Sir Charles Wood and his colleagues must again meet the House of Commons upon the question of the income-tax. It appears tolerably clear that no Government will feel justified in allowing so important a head of in come altogether to slip through their fingers—they will demand a prolongation of their powers in this respect. Nor should we feel disposed to resist their appeal if the assessment of the tax were not carried through in a manner revolting to common justice and common sense. The time has arrived for de claring once, again that the private income of the Minister issuing from real property or from the funds—or no matter from what source, so it be in fee-simple—is not identical for purposes of taxation with his official- salary, even upon the assumption that for the time being they are represented by equal money valuee. Tne hardy 5,0001. per annum which has cast its roots deep into the soil of an English county, and the fugitive 5,0001. per annum which depends on the numbers of a slave squadron division in the House of Commons, or upon the general vicissitudes of public life, are very distinct matters. The point, however, is one which affects the welfare and comfort of that class of society in England which is destined to the largest share of struggle and anxiety. We defy all contradiction when we assert that in England the cares of life fall with most force upon professional men of moderate practice in their particular lines—on tradesmen of the third or fourth-rate classes—on clerks and employes of all descriptions whose means of livelihood are dependent upon the will or caprice of their employers, or upon the continuance of their own health and strength. Without pretending to affix absolute limits with the affectation of exact precision, we would say that in England the struggle for a livelihood and a position . is the sharpest and most constant amongst men whose income, issuing from a profession or a trade, varies between 2001 and 1,0001. a year. Every turn of public opinion, every , caprice of fashion, every accession of scientific know ledge, every legal or commercial reform, affects some one or other section of persons so situated. As a class there is little doubt that in England generally they are living beyond their means. This circum stance certainly supplies no motive for granting them any immunity from their fair share of taxation, but as certainly it affords no justification for taking them above measure, and aggravates their inability of sup porting financial injustice. The usual argument in favour of the present method of assessment is stated in a few words. In come is only taxed: while it lasts; the assessment, therefore, is fair. Let us now suppose the case of a general practitioner in medicine—of a man who, by the most unceasing labour, by the utmost anxiety and carefulness, is earning his 5001. or 6001. per annum in a country neighbourhood. We will give him every professional advantage—he shall be me dical adviser in ordinary to the union in which he resides, he shall have contracted with the Grammar School and the young ladies' boarding establishment in the adjacent town to keep the systems of the pupils cool and comfortable for an annual sum cer tain. He shall be well with the squire ; a sound Churchman, and en dining terms with the rector ; but yet no violent party man, lest the Dissenting pneumonia of the country side should fly for relief to the opposition brass-plate in the county town. He can calculate the exact money-value of the zymotic, and strike an annual average upon the sporadic disease within his beat. Altogether he is in as comfortable and permanent a position as any member of his class can occupy. There is nothing wanting to complete his felicity. He occupies a square white house neatly slated, with a little pill-box of brick and mortar attached, in which he himself or his assistant—who has paid him a premium —spreads the " bergamy" pitch plasters, and " exhibits" the aloes and jalap. Behind the house is the stable with two stalls, whose inmates are never destined to enjoy each other's society, as Mr. Camomile drives one about all day and rides the other round the country all night. Now, at the end of the y ear , with all his riding and all his pill-rolling, the unfortunate practioners just manages to make both ends meet, for the time has come when little Johnny must go to school to be initiated in the niceties of Roman versification, with a view to making his way in the world at a subsequent period. The eldest daughter, Anna Maria, too, must xcis, be e gentlyd b led e i the direction of Cramer's er instructed in the art of hem minges pocket-handkerchiefs. Poor Camomile, who ann l entertain the local dining club once a y ear at Was born with a kindly , , genie soul, cannot but Podeldo o -l o d ge , w hen the planned furniture of dining and drawing-rooms is divested of its brown-h 11an d epidermis and even the tissue - paper which had been pinned round the broad gilt frame 0 , of Mrs."Camonilles portrait for fear of fly -blows is removed for that night only. The expense o f ( that entertainment, w hi ch over-payment to the income-tax is probably come-tax, the only expense throughout exactly equals Camomile's not bear the strictest iuv it helps, with his necessary outlays, t atigation, but . the year which will great politicians would readily a t life no doubt is a bard on o e, pull him down. The harder one than while health lasts it is - tolerable, compensations to a man of honest and without its n irgine, but still tmiane tem perament. But the night comes when Camo mile, who has been roused from his sleep peooora C. st at amo a premature birth, at some seven or eight tance from his own h ouse , r id es there !through the pelting rain, and sits during the anxious night by the bed-side of his suffering patient in his wet clothes. A cough follows; he cuts off hie dinner, but con tinues his rides ; his symptoms become aggravated by exposure to the weather, and in a fortnight he is beyond the reach of his own skill, and in a fortnight and a day beyond saving by any physician upon earth. He goes where we all must go, but Mrs. Camomile, and Johnny, and Anna Maria awake from their dream of security to find that their means of support are gone as well. They must content themselves with being —as political economists would phrase it —absorbed into the population. That is to say, when the two horses and the planned and other fur niture, and the house and the stock of drugs, and the galley-pots are sold up, there is just enough to clear scores all round, and pay for the only spot of earth in which Camomile had known the peaceful rest of an hour since the day he first established himself at Opodeldoc-lodge. Why did he not insure his life for a few hundred pounds ? will be the comment of many a strong-minded person upon this faint outline of a life. Simply because it pleased the Finance Minister of his country for the time being playfully to suppose that his income would inure to his children after him, and to mulct him accordingly. To be sure he might have dropped his annual entertainment to the members of the Hawthorn Dining Club—but then some of us come from one side of the Tweed, some from the other. It would be idle to contrast with such a career as the one we have so briefly indicated that of a quiet country squire in a small way, or of a fund holder from his youth upwards with an income equal to that of our friend Camomile. Such an one needs but put his hand in his pocket, and it invariably comes into contact with a sovereign, with no necessity fur exertion on his own part beyond that of fingering the coin. As it was with himself, so it will be with his children after him. All they have to do is to keep clear of vice and folly, to eschew Capel court and its manifestoe9, and the golden goose will regularly perform its act of incubation on their be hoof. Yet we are to be told when it is proposed to introduce the system of direct taxation into the coun try that it is equitable and honest to tax the pre carious income of the professional man in the same ratio as that of his more fortunate countryman. Income is income—that is true, no doubt—but if in comes from all sources are to be considered equiva lents for purposes of taxation, then it is an income tax the most impolitic, the most cruel, the most un just tax with which a working population of a country was ever afflicted.— Times. THE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION AT WIGAN. On Friday morning last an inquest was held at the Bowling-green Inn, Wigan-lane, before Mr. Grim she w, on the bodies of Jeremiah Price and Ann Turton, who had been killed by the explosion of the boiler at Mr. Wood's colliery on the previous Thursday morn ing. John Winnard, the engine. tenter who had had charge during the night, and Thomas Topping, the en gineer who took charge in the morning, were examined, but their evidence threw no light on the cause of the explosion, as they both declared that they bad found all right when they severally examined the boiler, and that they could assign no cause for its bursting. It was then agreed that the inquest should be adjourned till half-past five o'clock in the evening, and that in the meantime Mr. Peter John son, the foreman of the jury, together with Mr. Atherton, Mr. Swift, of the firm of Tickle and Swift, ironfounders; Mr. Brack, holler-maker ; er•d Mr. Joseph Heely, manager for Mr. Woods, should examine the boiler and report their opinions as to the cause of the explosion. The jury re-assembled at the hour appointed, when Mr. John son stated that he and the gentleman above-named had examined the boiler. They bad collectively arrived at the opinion that as the lead plug at the top of the flue had not been melted there had been a sufficient supply of water in the boiler when the explosion took place, and that, therefore, the men employed were innocent of any charge of neglect upon that head. Although the boiler had been worked beyond the usual time of cleaning out, they did not think that that fact had in any way contributed to promote the explosion, as the boiler was not more filthy than boilers usually are after being worked for two months. As regarded the cause of the explosion, they were of opinion that there had been a collapse of the tube cr flue, caused by the vacuum inside the flue. The crude or black smoke emanating from the other two boilers might have ignited, as it appeared that they had all been fired in rapid succession, and the one that had exploded had been fired last. In reply to the jury, Mr. Johnson said that he had repeatedly worked boilers four months without cleaning. Working 641 b. to the inch upon the lever would increase the pressure to 79 on the extremity of the tube ; but the boiler was sufficient to resist this pressure if the iron was good. The jury, after a short consultation, re turned a verdict of Accidental Death. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEENS BENCE], Jan. 22. (Sittings in Banco, at ‘Vestminster, before Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL, Mr. Justice PATTESON, Mr. Justice COLERIDGE, and Mr. Justice WIGLITMAN.) A BARER FINED FOR REFUSING TO WEIGH HIS BREAD. THE QUEEN V. KINGSLEY. In this case the defendant, who carried on the bu siness of a baker, at Hitchin, in Hertfordshire, had been convicted and fined by two of the county magis trates for refusing to weigh some bread which had been purchased of him. This refusal to weigh the bread was contrary to the provisions of the 24th sec tion of the 6th and fith Will. IY., c. 37. The defen dant appealed against the conviction of the justices to the Court of Quarter Sessions, and that Court con firmed the conviction. A rule was subsequently ob tained to remove the proceedings by writ of certiorari into this court. Mr. Hawkins now showed cause against, and Mr. O'Malley, Q-C., and Mr. Parnell supported the rule. Lord CAMPBELL gave judgment, and said there was jurisdiction in the magistrates to inflict a penalty of 5/. cn a baker for refusing to weigh his bread, when requested to do so. The 6th and 7th sections of the Act provided that the baker should weigh the bread sold in his shop, and also the bread carried out to be sold. The. 7th section was the one which in flicted a penalty upon a baker refusing to weigh bread. With regard to the distinction as to the amount of penalty to be inflicted on a London and a country baker, there was some difficulty; but the Legislature might have had some reason for making the difference. It was an absurdity to say, as it had been contended, that there was an enactment against the baker for having false weights and measures, and to say that there was no provision for his being punished for hav ing no weights at all. Reference had been made to " the London Act" upon this subject; but that Act, in his opinion, did not affect the present question. The exceptions which had been taken to the conviction could not be maintained, and looking at all the cir cumstances the rule must be discharged.—Rule dis charged accordingly. BAIL COURT, Jan. 22. THE QUEEN V. LATIMER. Mr. COLLIER moved for a rule to show cause why the Rev. Mr. Prinn should not pay the costs in this cause in pursuance of the Master's allocation. A criminal information had been obtained on behalf of Mr. Priori, against the defendant, as the publisher of the Plymouth Journal, for an alleged libel. The matter was tried at the last Exeter assizes, and a ver dict found for the defendant. The costs in the cause bad been taxed by the Master, who had issued his allocation.—Rule granted. PETRE 77. DIINCOMBE. In this case a rule nisi had been obtained, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the damages upon a writ of inquiry before the Under-Sheriff, should not be reduced in the amount of interest, whieh formed a part of those damages. It was an action upon a covenant in a deed entered into on the 28th of February, 1822, and was brought by the per sonal representative of the Hon. Edward Robert Petre. The deed set forth that Mr. Duncombe had sold for 5,0001. an annuity of 6001. to a Mr. Down, and that the plaintiff had joined Mr. Duncombe as his surety in covenanting to pay the annuity, and that Mr. Duncombe had agreed to indemnify Mr. Petre for his share in the covenant. Certain property was also conveyed to Mr. Petre on the trust that be should indemnify himself from all costs in the trans action. The plaintiff covenanted to pay the annuity. In 1841 it was agreed that 5 per cent. interest should be charged upon the amounts which Mr. Petre had advanced in payment of the annuity. It appeared that he (Petre) had paid almost the whole of the annuity. The point at issue was, whether, as a surety, Mr. Petra could recover that interest as damages for a breach of the covenant ; and, if so, whether the inte rest ought to be at the rate of 6 per cent. The ver dict of the jury was at per cent., and amounted to 3,4441. Mr. Wiziis showed cause against the rule, con tending that the plaintiff was entitled in point of law to recover, and that the amount settled between the parties in 1841 rendered the defendant liable for the interest. Mr. E. JAMES and Mr. Roma, in support of the rule, argued that there were two points ; fi rs t, w h e th er by t he proper construction of the instrument the plaintiff had a right to recover interest ; and, secondly, what was the effect of the amount of 1841. To have entitled the plaintiff to recover 5 per cent. he should have commenced proceedings within a reasonable time. It was then contended by the Learned Counsel that the plaintiff could not recover. Mr. Justice ERLE said he should take time to con sider his judgment. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 22. (Sittings in Banco, before Chief Justice JERvis,_ and Justices MAULE, CRESSWELL, and WILLIAMS •) THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY V. BRETT. Sir F. THESIGER applied to the Court to know when it would be convenient to their Lordships to deliver judgment in dila case. The reason for aßking the question was, that an applica tion had been m ade for an en l argement o f t h e time for which the patent was to exist and the Privy Council had fixed the loth of February for lleariog the matter. Mr. Justice MAULS doubted whether they would be able to give judgment by the 10th February. There was a great deal of evidence and some confu• ..ion in the cese. As the late Chief Justice had left the court, they could not communicate with him, and when they would be able to settle the matter he could not tell. He had read a great many books and papers upon the subject, but he did not seem to get on much. No doubt if they were locked up until they agreed, they would come to a speedy conclusion— (A laugh)—but otherwise he was doubtful. Sir F. THESIGER—If he had the power to use the remedy suggested he certainly would do so.—(Re newed laughter.) Mr. Justice MAULS had thought of appointing the 20th of February for giving judgment, as on that day the Court would hear the appeal from the County Court. The parties must give them some indulgence, or from the nature of the thing the matter could not be properly done. The Court was occupied nearly the whole day with the new trial paper, but no case was taken which was worthy of being reported. COURT OF lALAND REVENUE, Jan. 22. (Before THOMAS HARRISON, Ebq., C. J. HERMES, Esq., and ALFRED MONTGOMERY, Esq.) John Perkins and Mary, his wife, of Long's buildings, St. Luke's, were jointly charged o❑ an in formation with removing spirits, with the intent to defraud her Majesty of the legal duty thereon. Mr. Inspector Brennan stated that he held a com mission as an officer of Excise, and on the 22d of September last, at about eleven o'clock in the morn ing, he was proceeding towards the defendant's resi dence, which is a marine store shop, and the defen dant himself was standing at the door. As soon as he saw him he rushed into the house and passed into a back room by an inner door. He then saw the fe male defendant, with a decanter and a quartern mea sure in her hand, and immediately behind her on the floor he found a bladder filled with spirit. He snatched the decanter from her, upon which she ran to a pot of water which was boiling on the fire, into which she dipped the measure, for the purpose, he believed, of destroying all trace of what it had con tained. The decanter contained a pint and the blad der upwards of a quart of spirits, which were of illicit manufacture. The CHAIRMAN said the Court had no doubt what ever that the defendants had the spirits in their pos session, and should give judgment against them in the penalty of 1001. John Stanley, of No. 14, Wellington-street, Covent garden, coffee•shop keeper, pleaded guilty to two in formations, charging him with retailing spirituous liquors on the mornings of Sunday, Oct. 13 and 27, without licence, and . at a period when the licensed houses were closed. _ _ _ The COURT gave judgment in the mitigated penalty of 201. The defendant requested that time might be allowed him to pay the money, but The COURT refused to grant it, and said it must be paid forthwith. Thomas Drain, a coffee-house keeper, of No. 4, Leicester-street, Leicester-square, pleaded guilty to a similar information. He said that he had no re membrance of the occurrence, and had been in the house but four months. The COURT gave judgment in the penalty of 101. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. William Farinator was charged with stealing a coat from the Bankruptcy Court, on Tuesday, the 7th of January the property of a Mr. Tebbot, of the Isle of Wight, and who was then undergoing his examination as a bankrupt before the Commissioner. The prisoner was remanded. Mr. Charles Joseph Byrne, the well• known emi gration agent. lately carrying on business under the firm of C. J. Byrne and Co., of Pall-mall East, and San-court, Cornhill, emigration agents and merchants, appeared in answer to a summons charging him with an assault upon Mr. Richard March, the editor and proprietor of the Natal Journal and South African Reporter. Alderman COPELAND-I ' ll settle this case very quickly as far as I am concerned. The defendant must enter into his own recognizances of 201., and find two sureties of 101. each, to appear and answer this charge at the sessions, but he must keep the peace in the interim. Defendant—Will your Worship have the kindness to bind me over to keep the peace ? Alderman COPELAND—I have no evidence before me to induce me to think such a course necessary' Mr. March—He threatened to charge me some time since, and I dared him to go to the Mansion house and do it, and he then said he would forego prosecuting me if I would not put his name in my journal. Defendant—This man, who was formerly my clerk, has done all he can to injure me by sending a copy of this journal, with libellous articles in it, to the Commissioner during the hearing of my ex amination. He has also sent copies to Sir George Grey and the heads of the Government as well as to the colony, where I have no means but through that same journal of refuting the accusations made against me. Mr. March—That is entirely untrue, Sir. Alderman CorEnAND—I can do no more in this case now ; you must settle the difference between you at the sessions. In the course of the morning bail was forthcoming, and Mr. J. C. Byrne was accordingly bound over to keep the peace, and to appear at the sessions. BOW-STREET. John Cobb, a solicitor, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with forging a cheque for 121. 15s. _ _ Mr. Ribton appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr. Wontuer, solicitor, defended to prisoner. William D. Dickesson stated that he was landlord of the Exeter-ball Hotel, in the Strand, and knew the prisoner, who was in the habit formerly of visit ing his house. On Saturday evening, the 12th of May last, he called on witness, and, showing him a cheque upon the London and County Bank for 121. 155., said, " Have you any cash t o s p are , as thi s i s a cross-cheque, and must be paid through a bank ?" He owed witness 181. 10d. at the time, and he pro posed that this amount should be deducted, and that the witness should give him half a sovereign —the remainder to be paid to him on the following Monday. Witness gave him half a sovereign, and executed an order for a bottle of wine and a luncheon for two, which were sent to the prisoner's chambers on Sunday morn ing. He never afterwards called at witness's house, although he had once or twice seen him, since that time, in the streets. During the conversation about the cheque the prisoner asked witness where he banked. Witness replied, "At the London and County." He then observed, " That is singular, as I bank there myself." The cheque was signed " William Charding," and was made payable to Mr. Cobb ; but, on being presented, it was returned with an intimation that no person of that name had an account there. _ _ Cross-examined—l have been promised that this prosecution should not cost me anything. Mr. Martin, who has got it up, was formerly the clerk of Mr. Cobb, the prisoner. I do not know that he was dismissed from Mr. Cobb's service. The prisoner has been through the Insolvent Court since the trans action in question. I did not appear against him, as my claim was too small; but I gave the cheque to Mr. Pullen, who opposed his discharge. I used to be very friendly with the prisoner. I and my wife have been to the Opera with him. Thomas Windsor, a clerk in the London and County Joint-Stock Bank, stated that no one named " William Charding" banked there. The prisoner never bad an account there either. _ The prisoner—Why, I banked there for two years, as you may learn on inquiry of the secretary. John Pullen, a tailor, of the Strand, said he had known the prisoner for many years, and used to be very intimate with him. He identified the prisoner's writing on the cheque produced. When the cheque was shown to the prisoner in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, he declared th a t h e k new n othing about it, and never saw it b e f ore . Cross-examined —H e did no t give any explanation respecting it to th e C omm i ss i oner . Mr. Wontner said he had a complete answer to the charge, but reserved it for the trial. Mr. HENRY committed the prisoner to Newgate, and refused to take bail. John K. White and William Roberts, a potboy, were charged with stealing 601. from the Sun and Punchbowl, in Holborn. The case was further remanded owing to the con tradictory evidence elicited from the several wit nesses. Roberts was traced to Canterbury by Ser geant Thompson, and apprehended with 401. of the money in his possession ; but White called six of his fellow-lodgers in the model lodging-house, King street, Drury-lane, who slept in the same room, and swore that he was in bed at the time of the robbery in qaestion. Mr. HENRY said the requisite time must be taken for further inquiry. WORSHIP-STREET. William Bores, the proprietor of a scholastic esta blishment in Shacklewell-lane, Kingsland, who stood charged with a series of infamous assaif.ts upon little girls, the daughters of persons residing in the same neighourhood, was brought up before Mr. Arnold for final examination upon those and other charges. Mr. ARNOLD said that the cases gone into involved such a serious violation of public morals and decency that he felt it his duty to send the prisoner to meet them before n jury, and he should therefore require him to produce approved securities t the amount of 1201. for his appearance on that day week, that the depositions might be formally cr•ilpleted against him. LAMBE Philip Tuffnell, a smart young fellow, the son of a respectable shoemaker L'eckham, was charged before Mr. Elliott with being in the house of Mr. Solomons, in Rye-terrace, Peckham, for an unlawful purpose. FT - Otil the statement of Mr. Solomons, who is a fruit salesman, and who was accompanied by his solicitor, it appeared that on the preceding afternoon at about half-past three o'clock he and his wife ar rived at their house in Peckham-rye from their shop in Covent-garden market, ani in the back kitchen, concealed behind a cupboard door, he found the pri soner. He at once demanded his business there, and the prisoner in a confused manner said he had come to take the measures of two young ladies, his daugh ters, for two pairs of boots Believing this to be a falsehood, as his daughters had no authority from him to order boots, he (Mr. Solomons) at once charged him with being in the bous.e with a felonious attention, and gave him into custody. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, Mr. Solomons said the prisoner, when he found him, had a blue bag in his hand, and on telling him that he had come to measure his daughters, asked to be allowed to leave the house, but he refused to permit him. He (wit neso did not ask the family then whether they had employed the prisoner, but concluded he had told au untruth, as his daughters had no authority to employ him. Mary Daniels, the servant of Mr. Solomons, de posed that Tuffuell had frequently called at her mas ter's house to inquire if tilere was anything for him to do, and the witness had given him orders for two pairs of boots, which he had made for her. On the day before the prisoner came to the house and was admitted, but had riot been there more than ten mi nutes when Mr. and Mrs. Solomons came home, and her master found him in the back kitchen. Both her young mistresses had seen the prisoner in the house, and she (witness) understood the young ladies had sent for Tuffnell to tell him, as she believed, that he was not to come there again. Both the Misses Solo mons spoke to the prisoner on the day before, after he had been admitted into the house, and this was not the first time they had seen and spoken to him in the kitchen. The accused here exhibited a letter which he had received from one of the Misses Solomons, inviting him to call, and it was only in deference to the wishes and feelings of the young ladies that he concealed himself, and not from any fear of being seen. Mr. ELLIOTT did not think there was the slightest pretext for giving the young man into custody on such a charge; for had Mr. Solornons only given him self the trouble to make a few inquiries from his ser vants and daughters, he must have been satisfied the prisoner was not in his house with any criminal in tention, and in giving him into custody, and locking him-. up, he had rendered himself liable to an action for false imprisonment. The father of the accused expressed his determina tion at once to proceed against Mr. Solomons by action for false imprisonment, and the accused was immedi ately discharged. _ _ EVENING, JAN UARY 23 1 lB5l . THAMES. William Hughes, a lad 16 years of age, who looked three years younger, was brought before Mr. Yardley on retnalid, charged by his mother, Martha Hughes, with robbing her. A few days since his mother took home a quantity of slopwork, and bed set up night and day to finish it to obtain food for her children. She left her son at home with directions to follow her in a few minutes with another bundle of slopwork. She waited at the slopseller's warehouse for some time, and her son not arriving, "her heart completely miss-gave her," and she ran home as hard as she was able and found the boy in the act of carrying off two blankets. One of them was concealed about his person. On looking about the place she missed a child's coat and a flat iron, which the young scoundrel had disposed of while the was absent from home. He was given into the custody of a policeman named Nichols, No. 210 K, to whom he stated that he had sold the coat to a Jew dealer named Abraham Raphael, of the Back road, Shadwell, and he had pawned the flat iron for 4d. with another Jew named Cohen, in the same neighbourhood. The boy, who expressed great contrition and sobbed loudly, said he was very sorry for what be had done. Raphael, who keeps a "dolly" shop, and has been three times convicted for illegally carrying on the business of a pawnbroker, got into the witness-box and said he had no recollection of purchasing the coat of the boy. Mr. YAUDLEY was afraid that Raphael would come to the court once too often ; and then recommended the mother of the prisoner to overlook her son's mis conduct and give him another trial. He would order ss. to be given to her from the poor-box to redeem the articles which the prisoner had pledged, and to buy others as a substitute for those which had been sold. The woman expressed her gratitude to the ma gistrate. Raphael—lf I can find the coat among my stock I will give it up without the money. Mr. YARDLEY—You had better do so. You can find the coat if you look for it. SOUTH IVA RK. Henry Beevor and Thomas Hodgson, two powerful young men, were brought before Mr. A'Beckett for final examination, charged with breaking into and robbing the houses of Mr. Wells, of Lemon-valley, Rotherhithee, and Mr. Page, of Brunswick-place, Grange-road, Bformondsey, and ste:4ing a large quan tity of property, principally consisting of wearing apparel of different descriptions. The prisoners, who merely denied the charges, were committed. John Smith, a well-dressed, delicate-looking youth, wearing a black cloth paletot and black trousers, was placed at the bar, charged with picking a woman's pocket in the pit of the Surrey Theatre. Coombes, a policeman, stated that on the previous night, while on duty in front of the Surrey Theatre, he observed the prisoner lurking about there, and at length saw him attempt to pick a woman's pocket.. He did not, however, succeed in the attempt, and he was then seen to pass into the pit of the theatre, where he was followed by the constable, who had not been watching him long before he observed him pick another woman's pocket of a silk handkerchief and e penny piece. He (the policeman) then took the pri soner into custody, but the woman refused to press the charge, expressing her determination neither to give her name or address, nor appear as prosecutrix against so " genteel a youth." The policeman pro duced the handkerchief and the pennypiece. added that the prisoner had not been long out of Brixton Gaol for a similar offence, and that his re spectable appearance gained him admission to places of amusement, and, being an adroit pickpocket, he usually confined his practices to ladies, and generally managed to escape detection. His hair had been cut short while in prison, but by the aid of oil since his liberation the growth had been increased, and he ex- hibited a plentiful crop at the bar. The prisoner said it was all a mistake, and that he picked up the handkerchief and the pennypiece at his feet in the pit, and was going to hand them to the owner, when he was most unceremoniously pounced upon by the officer, and taken into custody. He contended that the officer was not justified in appre hending him, and that there was no owner present to prove that he or she was robbed, and added that it was a gross attack on the liberty of the subject to de tain him on such an unfounded accusation. Mr. A'BECKETT said, that as the prisoner had been summarily convicted before, he should now be sent before a jury to be dealt with, and for that purpose he should commit him for trial. SHIP NEWS.
