THE GOVERNOR-O.2NERAL OF INDIA. Wrens the Daily News.) We are not unprepared to find some dissentients from the judgment we were among the first pub- , licly to express, respecting the administrative incom petence of Lord Canning. Opinion in this country Is habitually slow to believe that a man deliberately selected to fill an eminent station, and who is known to have sought the trust confided to him, is after all an utter failure, that neither he himself nor those who appointed him could have ever had any ade quate reason to expect the contr a ry, and that, con sequently, his original nomination was no better than a solemn and dignifiedjob. But public opinion, when once awakened to the suspicion that it has been duped by names of popular sound, and pre tensions resting upon gravity and circumspection of personal deportment, is apt to quicken its pace, and to make up by the decision and energy of its tone for the drowsy and good-natured credulity in which it finds out that it was caught napping. A marvel lous change has rapidly come over the minds of men within the last few weeks, and even within the last few days, respecting Lord Canning. At the com mencement of the Indian revolt there was a preva lent indisposition to suppose that the conduct of the Executive Government at Calcutta was as inefficient as it looked. Full of anxiety and misgiving though they were, people would not b e p ersua d e d th a t t h e y knew all hat was done or doingto retrieve early disasters and to prevent others. As in the case of the Crimean expedition, the boldest critics held their breath for a time. Some explanation of appa rent irresolution would turn up, some well-planned measure of circumvention or suppres,ion would be developed, and then the world would see how much of self-possession and of statesmanship was really concealed under the seeming un-preparedness of the Governor-General. But as the bloody scroll of time was unrolled the eye sought in vain for the resources or the reasons it had a right to expect. Gradually the miserable conviction forced itself upon all, that the plan and purpose, reason and re sourse were wholly wanting ; and th a t f or a ll th a t the noble viscount had done, was doing, or evinced the capacity to do, victory in India there might as well be none. Amid a tempest of alarms, perplexi ties, and dangers, Lord Canning appears to have occupied the conspicuous and central post, around which a perfect anarchy of suggestions, counsels, schemes, and projects of every varied hue of vigour anp concession eddied tumultuously. Ascendancy of will, of knowledge, or of genius the Governor- General manifested none : and this deplorable and unpardonable want constitutes the head and front Of his offending. We havecalled the want unpardonable not unad visedly; and upon calm reflection we think all just and thoughtful men will so regard it. The Govern ment ofgreab empires cannot afford to pardon flagraat incapacity in high office. No man in our day has ad ministrative greatness thrust upon him. No English peer is liable to serve as governor of a distant de pendency, and to take upon himself the charge of its remote and onerous affairs, contrary to his own free will. Nobody aske I Lord Canning to unler take the functions of Chief Ruler of Southern Asia. He sought that Imperial trust himself, as a favour and a benefit he wished to have conferred, and for which he admitted his sense of personal obliga tion. It is no reproach to him that he happened to be a favourite with the ci devant Prime Minister, and that the present Premier should, for various reasons, have not been unwilling to serve him. Neither is it a reproach to any man that, possessing but a slender fortune, he should be willing to expa triate himself for a time in order honourab'y to im prove it. The Governor-Generalship is the biggest plum in the patronage pie ; and what George Can ning, in the zenith of his fame, was not unwilling to accept, his faint and feeble representative might well chuckle at obtaining. But the grave question remains—What was Lord Canning ; what had he done ; what did anybody believe he was ever likely to do, to justify his appointment as Governor-Gene ral of India ? If the office be worth maintaining, if the government of a continent inhabited by 150,000 of people is to be conducted in subordina tion to him who fills such a position, the least which justice and policy demand is that it should be filled by a man—a man not merely in the vulgar sense of the term, as one possessing ordinary intelli gence and physical pluck, but a man in that higher sense which constitutes the only real right di vine to bear rule and to have sway. Coleridge's division of a library was two-fold—books that were books, and books that were not books. In civil and military affairs mankind are similarly divisible, into men that are men, and men that are not men. Lord Palmerston will find it difficult to justify his con ferring the greatest and most responsible office under the Crown upon one of the latter class. We have no desire to be needlessly hard on 1,-.rd Canning. His fault and that of those who sent him to India is heavy enough for any an, to bear, with out exaggeration. His fault is this—one of the gravest a public roan can commit—that he is a usurper. A mere diligent tier and un-tier of tapes all his life, a man withont even the eloqu-nce of a political impostor , wfthout even th e dignity or pre sence of a sham king, without even the routine familiarity of military or civil , rvice in the East to compensate for his want of natural gifts—he must have been criminally conscious of his utter unfit ness to take upon him such a charge, -and, we are compelled to add, Lord Palmerston must have been equally aware of it ? What is the first duty of the first adviser of the Queen ? Confessedly to seak out fit and proper men to carry on, in their respective spheres, the arduous and accountable business of the Empire. The very expression we use as equiva lent to the nomination of a man to be Prime Mini ster vividly indicates this: he is said to be called upon "to form a government." It is an apt and expressive phrase. It points out., as plainly as any words can speak, the primary behest laid upon him. And if the choice of one who is to exercise for the time being all but absolute sway in the Queen's name over her vast dominions in the E3B`, be not an essential it?nl in the performance of the Pre mier's duty of :electing the materials of efficient government, wo couft-sa we know not in what that duty consists. The choice of a Governor-General for India—we sty it fearlessly—is the gravest and most responsible act which the Rime Minister has to perform : and looking at the awful consequences Which have lately followed fie m sending there an unfit, incompetent, dull, and vacilating shadow of mere aristocratic respectab lity, instead of a vigoe rous, able, and reeolu , e type of the moral an 1 in tellectual manhood of the nation, we cannot but hold Lord Pahnersten answerable in this matter. Lord Canning is what is called in party politics a safe and mo lerate man ; which, bing_ translated into plain English, means that he is one who has served in turn under any Government that he thought would la-it, and that was willing to em ploy him, with mercenary impartiality. His official career begen under Sir Itebert Peel, by whom his really noble, though un-coroneted father was hurried to a premature grave. When Protectionists abjured Protection he clung tenaciously to office until office was literally taken from him. Lord Derby judged him to be sufficiently Tory for his purposes in 1851 ; but lie failed to convince the calculating. Lord Canning of his ability to hold power; and his offer, therefore, was refused. The coalition promised better, and Lord Canning became Postmaster-General ; and when by degrees every other member of the section to which he pro fessed to belong bad quitted office, be, and he alone, was willing to remain, and was raised to a a at in the Cabinet of the present Whig Premier. For which of these performances, or for what other stop in his hungry and humiliating career, was this man made by Lord Palmerston Governor-General of India ? (Prom the lorning Chronicle.) Lord Canning is perhaps the least to be envied of all men in the public service at the present time. Of the vicissitudes attending political life he has bad more than his share. How short a time has elapsed Since he was looked upon as the most for tunate of men ! That rich prize, the Governor- Generalship of India, to be bestowed upon a com paratively young and unknown public servant, who had no chinas beyond an illustrious name, and some useful service in a department of Government the furthest removed f rom th a t which he was called on to direct Ytt now, in all probability, there are n w o h t o h w al o f u a li dze n men' in her Majesty's dominions post, if it were a tbereversion of Lord Canning's ere a condition annexed that he should share in th eo s nr a p i ularity which has so suddenly burst up-:n The only consolation Lrrd tCanning can enj o y, under the circum s t ance, is in t o reflection that to be unpopular is not always to ( is le h szre unpop u l ar it y. It is not necessary, indeed it determine to what exte n t the ab se P rt ' vlbile, yet to de serves the censures that have be en so freely beeeertonYweThe public here labour under th e disadvantac,e(oli being.in almost total ignorance of the subjew, a n d therefore of the value of those cen,ures. As in the case of the Earl of Ellenb To-agli, they are favour ably placed for being made the dupel of a " cry ;" but there is not at the present day, a D u k e o f Wellington, powerful , influential, and magilini mons enough to stand up between Directorial Caballers or Newspaper Thrnagogues and their destined victims. Without safe guides, therefore, the public are exposed to the imminent danger of arriving at a false conclusion, or of conniving, in utter helpleseneffs, at the sacrifice of an individual to save a B Ystern. Hitherto Lord Canning has seareely had a word said in his favour, while every thing that could be accumulated against him has been paraded with a reckless • • injustice. There are already sign: an d b Da n , oru a tobe misunderstood by experience d readers of political riddles. To those in responsible authority it is ob vious that the outraged feeling of the British com munity will require some sacrifice to the manes of the hapless victims at Cawnpore and elsewhere, and i some atonement for the errors which imperilled our sway in India. Woe to the luckless Minister or Statesman who happens at such a moment to offer a convenient substitute for real delinquents. No thing is more , easy than to direct the lightnings of public wra.h in the desired direction, and from that moment the neighbours of the unfortunate victim are safe. One wan was in this way made respon sible for all the mismanagement in the Crimea, and his equally culpable colleagues have ever since ruled the country. It is nothing to the purpose, that the momentary error of passion has been long since discovered. Nations are seldom penitent, or at least their penitence seldom takes the shape of atone ment. It would be as premature to affirm that Lord Canning is innocent, as it certainly is unjust also, to prepare the public mind for his condemnation. It is permissible, however, to point out a few con siderations which might operate as a warning to the public here, not to let themselves b 3 made the tools and instruments of selfish tyranny. If Lord Canning, instead of being a man of statesmanlike sympathies too large for a period of trouble, had been the model of a stern practical Dictator, be would still have a very poor chance of escaping the fate, which, unless we are very much mistakes, is even now being prepared for him. In these cases it is the position of the man, rather than his actual conduct, that invites the caastrophe. Louis the Sixteenth was a mild, virtuous mo narch, by comparison with his predecessors, yet they died in• their beds and he perished on the scaffold. Many a wise and patriotic Minister has been sacrificed to popular caprice, in favour of rivals false, venal, tyrannical. Accident, rather than any law of justice, rules in these cases, and Lord Canning, unluckily for himself and his reputation, happens to occupy a position in which almost all the chances are against him. When he was nominated Viceroy of India, all the world ad mired the 'magnanimous gratitude which led Lord ' Palmerston to show his respect for the father by ' rewarding the son. It is now doubtful whether the menaced Governor-General could count even on the ostensible support of the fickle and time serving Minister, whose ill-judged kindness, or popularity-hunting instincts, placed his protege in a position demanding such vast powers of mind and experience. It is a very general opinion that the Company will no longer be entrusted with the Government of India. It is equally supposed that Lord Canning will be the last, or at the utmost the Last but one Governor-General under the present regime. This unfortunate position renders him the centre of at traction for attacks inspired by the most opposite interests, and ' conducted on the most opposite grounds. It is therefore—without affecting to pre judge the question whether or not he has been culpable—that we would warn the public here against being misled by mere clamour. His assail an' s are legion. In Calcutta and elsewhere in India, the rule of the Company has long been hated by large classes of the European community—by almost all. indeed, except those who are actually in the service of the (government. It is natural, 'hen, that Lord Canning, as the Chief Representa tive of tbat Government, should be the object of their fierce hostility. Of this the Calcutta petition was an example. To the other independent Euro peans must be added the journalists, whom Lord Canning has co overfed into i rreconcile able enemies, by his precautions against venomous garrulity. That the military authorities should be among the assailants of Lord Canning is only naturally to be ex !Acted when we reflect that there has at all times been a feudbetween the civiland military powers, and that it has been brought to ahead by this rebellion. No bet'er proof of this' state of things is needed than that afforded by the order of the day of General Wilson to "give no quarter," following so soon after those general instructions of the Government at Calcutta, which have been made the subject of animadversion by the Press of this country. It would not be at all surprising if the falling "rulers" of Leadenhall-street sought to save the n selves by sacrificing their representative in India. Such a policy would be quite in accordance with their past conduct. Whether crushing a Napier or an Ellenberough, because they consulted the wel fare of the nation or the consolidation of the Impe rial domini mar or abandoning a Canning to the fury of his enemies, because he had only too faith fully fol!owed the traditions of the Company's ru'e, the selfish motive and the short-sighted policy would be the seine ; nor is it likely that those Dic tators would hesitate 13, tween. their supposed in' er.gats and the pr. copti of a nobler policy. Against this long array of antagonists, the Go vernor-General might reasouMly count on receiving the support of the; Ministers of the Crown. This question will mainly depend for its solution on the result of military operations during the next two or three months. If the restoration of our rule appears assured, Lord Canning may count on sup pott frem his loving colleagues. If, on Vie con trary, early delays, and arrogant obstinacy of opinion, shall be proved to have been the cause of sufferings that might have been averted, then every effort w:11 be made to save the Vernon Smiths and the Panmures, and the 'scapegoat will be found in the City of Calcutta. DR. CULLEN ON THE INDIAN RELIEF FUND. (From the Times.) Lies are very wrong things, very shocking things, but it must be admitted, nevertheless, that there is one excuse for them—their extreme facility. A lie is the easiest crime which a man can commit ; it is achieved by the simple natural motion of the tongue in the mouth, all the evolutions and rikvolutions of which instrument come of themselves, and performs the mind's bidding at a moment's notice, without any difficulty whatever. There is a proverb,or say ing about the tongue sticking in the mouth when a man tells a lie. It is wholly untrue ; the tongue works quite as ea , ily, glibly, and. smoothly, its motion is as lithe and slick, when a statement is liase as when it is true, and Sheridan's correc tion of - his friend, who said he wanted to go down a coalpit in order that he might say that he had heen down one, is 'strictly and accurately true— " You could say that without going down a coal pit." Lying is in substance simply speech '• it is speech, indeed, which is contrary to fact, but this circumstance, does not interfere with and has nothing to do with speech as such, which is a wh. lly neutral and strictly impartial natural organ, performing its functions with a disinterested—we o,ight alm,st say an equitable and judical--m . dif fereaoe to tho question of fact of one way or an ether. The tongue is no partisan, no sectarian ;it is a citizen of the world ; it does not undertake to decide between the merits of truth and falsehood. It performs its proper services to each in its turn, as it happens to be called upon. It is a perfect machine for the production of truth ; it is also a perfect machine for the production of falsehoo 1. Such is the remarkable facility which nature affords for untrue statement to those who are willing to avail themselves of it. rt puts the instrument int) their hind, all ready for ute and in working order, and they have only to touch the handle. I'4 hat an admirable, what on inviting, what a tempting engine ! Is it not a shameful waste if we neglect so admirable a contrivance as this, —an actual instrument' for creating facts, or what are as good as facts for the time, and creating them without the smallest difficulty ? Who does not like to have things his own way ? who would not like facts always to speak for - him? Very well, th-n, if thefacts du not speak for him he speaks for the facts. It is only a difference of means to the same end. Is not,ly;ng a part of the legitimate doininiOn of - man over nature ? A good deal, we think, might Le said in support of this thesis. The theory has a touch of boldnes4 ' but after it had got over the difficulty of its fi rs t start it would gain ground and win over many sheals of casuists. Surely, when Nature herself turns temp tress, and puts such an instrument into our hands, a man must hea moral hero or a saint not to use it occa sionally. Thanks, indeed, to a stern voice within, there are individuals who think it wrong to lie, but sects and parties, especially religious sects and parti( s, can hardly be said to be of this opinion. The sect is a natural liar, it is born with a lie in its mouth, which grows up with its growth, and multi l' paes. Every sect has its favourite custom ar y se t of statement, which it palms off upon the world for the purpose of adding to its respectability and reputation—statements of which it does not care to examine the truth, and of which it does not wish the world to examine tho truth either. formed by per tare) a It is a custotharyßoman Catholic statement that half of the d e f ence o f this country is I Oman O a th o ! !ct. Our Protestant public s _ ually li...ti e a t t hi s at first, but half acquiesces grad in it, from thinking- that, a fact would not be stated tfromso boldly if i t Iv, re not true. Simple minded pu IL: ! Th e remarks which we have just made will have enlightened you on that point. The Romanist sietemout is made up, first of a gross exa4gerat:on, and next of a s ti ll grosser suppression. Irstead of one half of our soldiers, hardly one-third of them are Romanl s t i . B ut this statement leaves out the Navy altogether, which numbers 70,000, of which not more thanltc one or t wo per cent, are- manist. So that, takin g the two services together, t one-half which the Itotnanists claim of the defensive farce of this country dhutnishe s t a about one 9ixt' , . But wa are not conceilltd with t!lis fact any more tl,au as it is connected with a subject about which Archbishop Cullen. published THE SUN, LONDON... FRIDAY E,VE.NING OCTOBER 30, 1 857. some statements a little time ago—the Patriotic Fund. We are not whole-length admirers of the general administration of this Fund, and we have objected to the Indian Relief Fund going into such dispensing hands, but, having made particular in quiry, we are obliged in common truth to say that Archbishop Cullen's complaints of the religious par tiality shown in its management are grossly incor rect. There appears to be not one word of truth in the whole tissue of statements which the Arch bishop has published against the official dispensers of the Fund, and it is only just to them to say that they court inquiry on this subject, and ere ready to give the fullest and moat accurate information about their own proceedings. Archbishop Cullen's first charge was, that " the Catholic clergymen of Dublin had not obtained one shilling for the widows and orphans of soldiers killed in the Crimea for whom they bade made ap plication ;" and to this the reply of the Executive Committee is, that its agents disburse now in Dublin alone 2,4001. annually. It is worth mentioning that the whole subscription of Dublin Ito the Fund was 11,0001., a large proportion of which came from Protestants. We do not say that a Fund.ought to be dispensed on any local principle such as this, but the fact should be observed. Ire , land as a whole receives an annual sum of 80,0001. from the Fund, the Capitalised value of which, taking the average of 18 years for the lives of the recipient widows, is 180,0001.—the whole of the Irish subscriptions having been only 60,0001., of which probably far the larger part came out of Pro testant pockets. Scotland gave 148,0001., and only receives 5,0001. annuagy. In short, it is as well ascertained as anything can be that there is not in the whole of Ireland a single widow of a Crimean soldier who has been refused relief on any ground. And, with respect to the agency for the adminis tration of the Fund, the executive committee deny point blank Dr. Cullen's charge of having always employed " parsons" in Dublin, not one single Protestant clergyman having ever been employed , for this task, but always either staff-officers of pen sioners or its own special agents. The charges of religious partiality in the matter of education of the children are equally groundless. It js quite true that the offers of the Sisters of Mercy and of St. Clare for this purpose were'not accepted ; but why ? Because the mothers, upon the offer being put before tiem, declined it in be half of_their children. But, though the children have not been put under particular Roman Ca tholic orders to be educated, they have been sent to Roman Catholic schools, not one single Roman Catholic child above the age of 7 not having been thus provided for in the way of instruction. Dr. Cullen complains of 2,5001. having been given to two Proitestant day schools at Portsmouth and Plymouth out of the Fund, but he should really remember that a very large part of this fund is Pi otestent money, and that Protestant children require education as well as Roman Chathollc. Cousidering that, as we have said, nore more than or 2 per cent. of our sailors are Roman Catholic, this is by no means an extravagant sum to give towards the education of children of the very large Protestant remainder. The truth is, the gross religious partiality with which Dr. Cullen charges the/ Committee of the Patriotic Fund would be impossible at this thy. Public opinion would not allow it, and with respect to original admission to the benefits of the Fund, such a fault is excluded by the very machi nery of its administration, which gives no clue whatever to the religion of the applicant, excepting the medium of application chances to be a Roman Catholic clergyman, in which case the clue is very soon lost, inasmuch as no record of the medium of application is kept.

It appeared that about half-past 11 o'clock the prisoner with another man, and a woman who sells ballads in the streets, entered the tap-room of complainant's house in a state of intoxication, and remained for some time Without having anything. He began to behave himself very inde cently, and prosecutor went into the. room and ordered him out. Prisoner refused to go, and placing his short pipe in his hand so that the end of the stem projected t irough his fingers, endeavoured to strike him in the face. By suddenly stepping baek complainantavoided the blow, but the point of the pipe-stein came within about half an inch of his eye. Complainant snatched up the poker and guarded himself with it, warning the prisoner that he would strike if he (the prisoner) attempted to close on him. The prisoner, however, sprang o❑ him, and a des perate struggle followed, in which, although he used the poker, the pri-over, who had him by the throat, was gaining the advantage, and he was almost exhausted, when a policeman came to his assistance. The prisoner then released the prosecutorand turned on the policeman, saying, " We shall see whether a- peeler shall take me out" He then attacked the constable, who, however, soon overcame him, as he, was somewhat reduced by loss of blood from a wound in the head inflicted by Mr. Fitzgerald with the poker. The policeman took him to Cnaring-cross Hospital, where the house surgeon dressed his wound, which was not of a serious character. When the constable entered, • complainant was bleeding from the mouth and nose. _ _ The prisoner alleged that he was attacked first, but ad mitted that he was too drunk to know muck about it. Fined 3/ , or one month's imprisonment. WORSHIP-STREET.—Edward Jacksor, a portly, well-dressed man, described as an oil arid colourmau, carrying on bn-iness in Leonard-street, Finsbury, and his wife, Anne Jackson, were charged on suspicion of having feloniously received various articles of dress which bad been stolen, with a travelling trunk, nontaining jewelery and other property belonging to the Countess of Ellesmere, to the amount of 15,0001. The prisoners were also charged, in corjunction with Chas. Steadman, a ticket-of-leave convict, with having been found in pos session of a further quantity of valuable property, the supposed produce of other robberies. ,Ir. Lewis, jun., of Ry-place,attended on behalf of the prisoners Jackson, and Steadman was defended by a solicitor bearing the same name as himself. On Tuesday, the 22d of Jan. last, the bag, with its contents, was abstracted from thereof of a carriage going from Cleveland.square Co the Great Western Railway,. from which the Countess of Ellesmere was about to pro. coed to Windsor Ca , tle, on a visit to her Majesty. Police Constable Evans, G 175, stated that while on duty in Old-street, between 1 and 2 o'clock in the after noon of Sunday, the 18th inst., he met the prisoner Jackson and another man, who hastily parted company, and moved off in different directions as soon as they caught sight of him. Having recognised both of them as suspected characters, witness followed Jackson, whom he overtook in an adj oningetreet, and as he refused to di— cl iee the contents of a bulky package which be bad with him, witness took him into cust )dy. On searching the bundle at the station-house he found it to contain up wards of 100 yards of ribbon, two dezen scarfs, and' sundry ether expensive articles of haberdashery, which the prisoner alleged he had purchased at Bethnal: green from a man named Woodward, with whose x let address he was unacquainted. Witness pro seeded with other officers to the prisoner's house in, Leonard-street, a n d h av i ng s t ea lthily e ff ec t e d an en trance, he made his way t) a mail room behind toe shop, where he found Jackson's wife in close con ference with the prisoner Steadman, who was sitting opposite to her. The fernile prisoner was in the act of inspecting a plated goblet, which she hail apparently just received from Steadman, who had some money in his Land. Witness questioned him with regard to the goblet, and after a good deal of shafliog, prisoner said that he had picked it up in the street. Witness proceeded up stairs with the feiu&e prisoner, searched several of her drawers, and . discovered therein various articles of wearing apparel, a portion of which had been since identified as the property of the Countess of Elles mere, two of whose servants were now in attendance to give evidence in support of the charge. Mary Anne Eiding, Lac'y Ellesmere's maid, who had assisted in packing up the trunk, identified several of the articles, one of which was her lady's bridal veil of old point lace, and which she ',mid positively swear to, from the rare quality of the fabric, which could not now be purchased. After some observations from Mr. Lewi4, to the effect that, according to hie instructions, his clients would be fully prepared on a future occasion to furnish a satis factory explanation with regard to their possession of the article •, Inspect,r Breckuold requested a remand, f. r the dis. covert' of the owners of the property which had not been identified,. and which he Lad reason to believe was the part produce of a 'went ettensive burglary In the City. Tne prisoners were amordiugly remanded, but bail was acceptel for the appearance of Jackson. CLERKENWELL.—MIen Gladstone, aged 26, re: siding at b 7, Payne-street : Islington, a marred woman, was charged with being en the banks of the Regent's Canal for the purpose of minnlitting suicide. Polies-constable Cranni', 71, N, found the defendant in the custody of two men on the banks of the Regent'i: Canal. She was raving out in a very excited manner that she was "mad, mad,' and that she would follow her father and go to heaven. When he took her into custody she had neither shoes nor stockings on, and was half-naked, and said that she was de - terms:3d to commit suicide; that she bad jumped off Blackfriars-bridge, and would do so 4galli. • The husband of the defbndant said that his wife had been very depressed in spirits, in consequ,nce of her rather, who died a few days since, telling her on his deathbed that she would bring herself to ruin if she did not leave off drink. She was a good wife when sober, but a foolish and violent woman when drunk. He would take her home and look after her if the wor.by ruag,s trate would discharge her. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a great pity that a woman like the defendant should give way to the devilish drink. If she continued that course of clnd act, she would bring herself to ruin ; and bad it not been for the young man, she would most assuredly have lost her life. After a few more remarks of a most feeling nature, Mr. Tyrwhitt dilcharged the prisoner with s caution, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Eliza Turner and Mary Ann Smith, two young women who were attire.l ie a fashionable style, were charged before Mr. Bingham with attempting to pick the pockets of several ladies in Regent-street. It appeared, from the evidence of Cole, an active officer of the A division, No. 317, that on the previous alter coon, about two o'clock, he WAR standing at the corner cf Argyll-place, when he saw two ladies stop and look 'at the photographic portraits exhi .iited at Mayan's. They had r o`. been there long when his attention was attracted to the - two prisoners, whom he knew to be pickpockets, who passel him and went and stood directly behind the ladies before-mentioned. He watched them, and ob served Turner lift up the mantle of one of the ladies, and ut her hand in her pocket, apparently without success. Tre prisoner.; then walked on, and he went upend asked the lady if she had been rubbed; She replied in the negative, and he then proceeded after the prisoners and mime up with them in Oxford-tercet, where he saw Tur ner manipulating the pockets of two ladies while Smith covered her from view. The prisoners did not seem to be successful in their avocati .11R, and on turning round t go away they caught sight of him, and immediately jemped into an omnibas which happened to be passing. :Ie ran after the vehicle till it stopped at the corner of Tottenham-court-road, when he informed the conductor of the sort of characters he had got in his 'bus. The centhictor fetched them out and inquired if any of the passengers had lost alltbing. They s aid they had not, and witness then conveyed.thern to the station house, where they were searched, and on Turner was found a valuable gold watch and chain, and 51 in gold, wrapped up in a piece of newspaper. Oa Smith three sovereigns, also wrapped up in paps, were found. He had no tur ther evidence to offer at present, and thought, if they were remanded, he should be able to bring forward a lady who would identify the prisoners as having robbed her of notes to a large amount in an omnibus, on last Wednesday week. The prisoners were remanded for a wee's. SOUTH WARK.—Pbilip Doyle, a young fellow aboist 20 years of age, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with defrauding Sergeant Anthony . Choyne, of the 3d Royal Surrey Militia, out of le., and absconding after enlisting in the 231 Foot. The sergeant stated that he..wai instructed by the War-office to enlist recruits f6r the line, and in the mid dle of last month the prisoner'eame to him and wished to enlist in the 23d Foot. Witness asked him whether he had been in the army before, when he replied that he bad not. He also answered the usual questions about being free, able, and willing to serve her Majesty, when witness handed him the enlisting shilling. He then took his, address, and told him he would require to be in attendance bef 're the doctor on the following day. He, however, did not appear, and witness left a notice at the address he bad given, but he saw no more of him until Saturday, when he met bun in the Through and gave bins into custody. The prisoner denied being the party alluded to, and he had no recollection of ever seeing the s:reeant bdore. Ho never bad his shilling. Sergeant Choyne informed his worship that he was psitive as t o the pr i scner ' s id ent i ty . L a t e l y a b out twenty young f e ll ows h a d a b scon d e d a fter r e ceivi ng th e enlisting s hilli ng, which was a fraud on him, and the War-office a u th or i t i es were d eterm i ne d t o pun i s h a ll parties so offending, as a caution .to othees. Many young fellows had actually enlisted a dozen times over, and he believed the prisoner had twice. Mr. Cenabe asked him whether he could positively swear to the prisoner as being the party who received the shilling from hire. The sergeant replied that be could. He pointed him ont immediately to the policeman when be met him. Mr. Combs, after perusing the Act of Parliament, said he was of opinion that the prisoner must bs deemed a deserter, therefore he should commit him t) the county 4E61, to b) dealt with by the authorities at the War ()LETP. His worship clenched the usual deserter's desciiption to be made out and f 2rwarded to the latter place. The prisoner, who st• 11 persisted that be was not a recruit, way then committed to pri.nn.

The following appeared in a part .of our impression o f yesterday :- The race for 501. a-side bet wean George Drouett, o f Chelsea, and Thomas Day of Wandsworth, from Barnes ',ridge to Putney, took place yesterday, and considering the unusually ear'y hour fixed for the race, a consider ,h'e number of spectators assembled on board the Citi zen N, which was chartered for the occasion, it being generally anticipated that a most exciting match would be witnessed, the men having contended together a few weeks ,ince, when after rowing an excellent race for above two miles, a foul took place, which was decided in favour of Drouett. Day, not being satisfied, immediately chal lenged his opponent again, who readily accepted the same, and hence the present match. It being arranged that the race should be rowed down the river, about half-past twelve the men proceeded to their stations. Drouett, under the guidance of the veteran J. Phelps, and Day attended by Driver, of Wandsworth. Mr. W. Blake being umpire for Drouett, and Mr. T. Salter for Day; Mr. J. Parish, the well-known cox swain of the Leander Club, acting as referee. Betting brisk at even, and ultimately 6 to 5 on Day. At 40 minutes past 12 the start took place in the tniist of a pelting shower, the men rowing very even for the first quarter of a mile, Day having slightly the advantage, but pressing his man rather too closely in, Drouett, in crossing over, getting more room to work, succeeded after a severe struggle in obtaining a decided lead, which he gradually increased for the remainder of the distance, coming in the winner by about six or eight lengths.
