COMMITTU ES 0 , , PRIVATE BILLS YORK IMPROVEMENT. The object of this Bill, which is promoted by the corpora tion of York, is to construct a bridge called Lendale-bridge, and to take land and house property in order to make ap proaches thereto. Lord Ingestre is the chairman. Mr. Hudson, M.P. (who was examined by the title which he bears. tamely, x Lord Mayor," and " Your Lord ship," as Lord Mayor of York, which sounded rather strangely to the a-s of those accustomed to hear the Honourable Gentleman examined in his railway capacity), gave evidence in favour of the Bill, in which he explained the various ar rangements which had been come to between the corporation of Yo k and the North Midland R3ilwav Company, of which he is the chairman, with respect to making improvements in the approaches to the station, &e. The Hon. Gentleman was examined at considerable length by Mr. LastAN, of York, to show that the property of a Mr. :gorrison was not required for the purpose of the improve ments sia.ight to be made by the Bill. Mr Birkenshaw, the surveyor, was examined at consider able length. He considered that the proposed improvements would be of great advantage to the city. Adjourned wail to-morrow, at one. BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS DOCK ACTS AMENDMENT. This Committee met for a short time at twelve o'clock, and went through the remaining clauses of the Birkenhead Commissioners Duck Acts Amendment ( as to construction of sea wall along Wallasey Pool), and then adjourned. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. Yesterday the an nual meeti ng of the memb ers an d friends of this society was held at Exeter HalL Samuel Gurney, Esq., presided, and was supported by the Earl of Chichester, Lord Ebrington, Sir Walter Stir , ling, Bart., R. Vernon Smith, Esq., M.P. IL P own e , Eiq., John Wilkes, Esq., William Tooke, Esq., Rev. Mr. Burnett, Rev. Mr. Binney, Rev. G. Clayton, and other ministers and gentlemen. The CHAIRMAN. iii his opening address, regretted the absence of their president (Lord John Russell), a cir cumstance which he believed was not attributable to any declension of interest on his part in the great cause of unsectarian education. He (the Chairman) gave the Noble Lord credit for being as friendly as ever to their society, and presumed that his absence was entirely owing to his pressing political engagements. From the report, which was read by the secretary, it appeared that the number of studeats in the society's training schools was 233, of whom 44 were in training at the date of the last report; 18S had been received since that time; 23, from various causes, had withdrawn from:the institution. In the female school there had been 350 s iolars during the year, making a total since its foundation of 17,425. 146 new schools had been esta blished in different localities—namely, 32 in the manu facturing districts, 49 in towns and villages, 11 in Lon don, 6 in places not coming within these denominations, and 48 in North and South Wales. The receipts of the year had been 14,7421. 11s. 2d. The report con cluded with an urgent appeal on behalf of the society. The Rev. GEORGE CLAYTON moved the adoption of the report. The Right Hon. VERNON SMITH, in seconding the resolution, regretted the absence of the Noble President Lord John Russell, of Lord Grey, and those other gen tlemen who had so ably addressed them on many past anniversat ics.—(Signs of disapprobation.) He was glad to say that it was not the intention on the present occa sion to make that platform the arena of gladiatorial dis cussion, however desirous they might be on such an oc casion to protest against that invasion of privileges which certain parties in the country had lately been called upon to submit to.—(Hear.) The resolution was adopted. The Earl of CEIICHESTER moved the second resolution to the following effect:—" That this meeting respect fuliy and gratefully acknowldiges the continued favour and munificent support of her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert." In sup porting this resolution, the Noble Earl congratu d the meeting that the same motive which in • citic , :d the Queen's grandfather to take the British ar.d Foreign Sceeol-society under his especial patronage, anima . ed her Majesty to give it her illustrious support. —(Hear, hear.) Ile admired the society, because it was a constant and standing witness of the great truth taa often ;oriuttcn in the strife and contests of the world, that whatever might be the difference of opinions existing among them, whatever the shades of belief that separated and divided them, yet if they were Christians at all, their religion was one.—(Cheers.) He was not permitted to express his opinion upon the sub ject of the recent minutes of council, but he might de clare his conviction that, whatever might be its merit or &merit in other respects, the Government plan would tend to gave f res h i mpetus to the existing means of in struction, and it would be a matter of rejoicing to all if it should be found to have that eff,ct. Mr. Sergeant THOMPSON seconded the resolution, and it was carried nem dis. The Rev. S. R. HALL moved a resolution expressive of thanks to the Duke of BNlford for his continued sup port to the society, ani to Mr. Gurney for presiding. Lord EBRINGTON seconded the resolution, and Mr. GURNEY acknowledged the ccmplimeut contained in it. The Rev. Mr. BURNETT having been loudly called for, addressed the meeting. After some routine - business the meeting separated. ALARMING FLOOD AT MAN CHESTER. The heavy fall of rain which took place here ou Saturday has been the cause of very serious alarm, and the destruction of a considerable amount of property, by the river Medlock, which passes through the town, having overflowed its banks in the neighbourhood of " Little Ireland." This "river," which in the dry season is an insignificant and dirty brook, supplies a large number of factories, and other workshops on its banks, with water, by which to work their steam-engines. In consequence of the insufficient supply of water at certain seasons. sluices have been erected at a point between the fac tories of Messrs. Birley and Fairweather, to dam up the water to the required height. These sluices are situated near Cam bridge-street, and just below "Little Ireland," and it seems should have been opened on Saturday night, but this was neg lected, and hence the mischief. i From inquiries made on the spot, it appears that about three o'clock on Sunday morning the water rose above its banks, inundated a large factory, part of which is occupied by Messrs. Whitworth, boiler maker, carried away about thirty yards of stout brick wall, and then forced its way into the whole of the houses in Wakefield -street, Smith-street, Anvil-street, Frank-street, William -street, and the courts and alleys adjoining; and some of the inhabitants were awoke by the rushing in of the water through win(' ows, doors, &c. Those who were asleep in the upper apartnia as were awoke by the screams and cries of those below. About four o'clock on Sunday morning the scene is said to have been most distressing, women and children screaming for help, and men escaping through windows and doors, and wadin.; up to the middle in water which covered the streets and grounds about for many yards round. At this time the police had to use boats to get the inmates released from their wretched habitations, and tablet, chairs, beds, and bedding were, during nearly the whole of Sunday, 11 atin about in indiscriminate ma tie;. The, water, in all the houses, was from four to six or seven feet deep. There could not be much less than 200 of these wretched abodes, in some of which there were three or four families which have been thus wished by this ealamity. About six o'clock on Sunday morning some one succeeded in opening one of the sluices already referred to, when the water rushed with such force against a n.'wly-erected sane wall, belonging to the new gas -works row in the course of erection there, as to force it completely over, and instantly inundated a large pit which had just been excavated, of 100 feet in diameter, for a new gasometer, which should have been commenced this morning. Serious injury has also been done to another, which had just been completed. The damage done here cannot be less than from VOL to 300/. But perhaps the largest amount of damage done to any single establishment is that sustained by the extensive one of Messrs. Birley, the ground floor of their largest mill being, during the whole of Sunday, many feet de-p in water, and the bobbins, cotton, &c., fl 'kiting about on the water. A large weaving -shed, in which are a great number of power-looms, is also flooded several feet deep. During the whole of yesterday many hundreds crowded the neighbourhood to view the havoc made by the flood, so that the police had some difficulty in keeping back the crowd. It is not a little singular that while one mill of Messrs. Birley was flooded and sus taining great injury from water, another on the opposite side of the street bad a narrow escape from fire, as about the same time that the water broke into the one (three o'clock) a fire was discovered in the lower floor of the other. Fortunately, however, it was early discovered, and a large cistern being placed on the roof, it was got under by the time the fire-engines arrived, without any very serious damage being done.

THE S2UN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 12, 1847 THE BILL FOR THE CONSERVA TION OF THE RIVER THAMES. On 31,nda a Court of ALlt reo-n ha% inr been sr m' ned to ess:Mhle it the Oki upon. the subject of th.• B II in Parliament for the conserv,tion river Thames, and for the regul don, management, and improvement thereof, several aldermen assembled soon after eleven o'clock, and the Lord Mayor took the chair. Mr. Firth (of the Town Clerk's office) read the follow ing report upon the subject, now considered of para mount importance in the City of London :—" In obedi ence to an order of this Court of 7th May inst., to confer with the chairman and other members of th e consoli dated Committee of the City Common C ounc il , as to the alteration in the clauses in the Bill to provide for the conservation of the river Thames, and for the regula tion, management, and improv ement t h ereof, affecting the honour and privileges of this Court, and to take such such other steps as we may deem advisable, aad if ne cessary to confer with the Government thereon forth with-7e whose names are here un t o su b scr ib e d , your Committee of Privileges, do certify that in the first in stance we heard the Recorder on the clauses, as affecting the Lord Mayor, as conservator, and the rights and pri vileges of the Court connected with the conservation of the river Thames; that we also heard the Remembrancer upon the Bill, and on the course he should feel it his duty to pursue in the event cf this Honourable Court determining to petition against the objectionable clause s contained in such Bill. That we subsequently helda con ference with Cale consolidated committee of the Court of Common Council, consisting of Richard Lambert Jones, Esq., their chairman, Mr. Deputy Cornet', Mr. John Wood, Mr. Deputy Wright, Mr. Lawrence, Mr. John Dixon, Mr. T. H. Hall, Mr. W. H. Ashurt, Mr. Aitchi son. Mr. Lart, Mr. Conder, and Mr. Waterlow; when Mr. Recorder stated the views and opinions of the Hon. Court upon the several provisions in the Bill, and par ticularly— " • 1. That the Lord Mayor for the time being should be a member of the superior board. "• 2. That the election of the five aldermen as con servators, and their removal therefrom, should he in the Court of Aldermen, instead of being nominated by the Court of Aldermen, and elected and removable by the Court of Common Council. " • 3. That the Recorder for the time being should be a Commissioner by virtue of his office ; and " •4. As to the powers and privileges of the Court of Aldermen connected with the present Court of Con servancy.' " The attention of the Consolidated Committee was also incidentally drawn to the disproportionate number of Aldermen to be Commissioners. " A discussion at some length then took place be tween the two committees upon the various points sub mitted by the Recorder, and the members of the Con solidated Committee withdrew, and having returned delivered in to us a resolution thereon to the following effect : " • That this committee having considered the sug gested alterations, are of opinion they could not advise the Court of Common Council to agree to them gene rally.' " We have, therefore, felt it our duty to report the same to this Honourable Court. Dated this 10th day of May, 1847." Alderman C OPELAND , as Ch a i rman of the Com mittee of Alderman, having thanked the Re corder for the manner in which the Learned Gentleman had stated the views of the Aldermen, at the conference, said the deputation from the Consolidated Committee had acquiesced in the suggestion relating to the position which the Lord Mayor and the Recorder should hold in the conservancy, but objected to the proposition that the Court of Aldermen should have the veto as to the members to be chosen from that body. The motion having been seconded, Alderman WILSON moved, " That the Remembrancer having respectfully declined to obey the order of the Court of Aldermen to attend the Sheriffs of London, according to ancient custom, in presentinga petition of the said Court of Aldermen to the House of Commons, against the Bill to provide for the conservation of the river Thames, and for the regulation, management, and improvement thereof, that the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Sheriffs, be requested to see the Speaker, commu nicate the circumstance to him, and make an appoint ment for the presentation of the petion."—" That the Lord Mayor, Alderman Copeland, Alderman Johnson, the Recorder, Sir James Duke, and the Sheriffs be re quested forthwith to wait upon Lord Auckland, Lord Morpeth, and Mr. Ward, to state the objections to the Bill, and to ask them to concede the same, or to postpone the Bill for a week." These resolutions were unanimously agreed to, and the Committee adjourned. Commissionby the Lord-Lieutenant of Cheshire.

A general meeting of the shareholders of this under taking took place this day at the London Tavern. JOHN BARNES, Esq. in the chair. The CHAIRMAN informed the meeting that the affairs of the company were very prosperous. They required, however, a little more money for the purpose of pur chasing land. If they got that for the next six months they would not require to call again. The finance account not having been published, seve ral shareholders expressed their discontent, and required that the meeting should be adjourned until such was done. A lengthened report was read to the meeting from which we extract the following:— For the purchase of land, houses, Fr. A &c., necessary for the laying down of the railway 441,000 or 17,640 For monthly payments to contractor, for execution of work, up to the 31st of March 482,000 or 19,280 For engineering expenses, including the works of the tunnel, excava tions, &c. &c 218,000 or 8,720 For plant, bricks, fencing, &c., and sundries 146,500 or 5,860 W.

Total 1,287,500 or 51,500 A long discussion arose as to whether the present company could legally enter into an amalgation with the Luxembourg Railway— but it was the opinion of M. Constant D'HofLchmidt, who addressed the meeting in French, and who was late Minister of Public Works in Belgium, that they could. Monsieur HoffsChmidt also expressed his strong opinion of the advantages of the line, and that it would pay a large per tentage on the capital. The report of the directors was adopted. A second resolution, declaring that all the unpaid shares should be forfeited save those allotted to Mr. Sarte, who will be compelled to pay up. Upon all the shares 4/. per share had been already paid. The following is the proposition for raising money:— To each proprietor of a 201. share in the Louvain 3 la Sambre Company, on which 61. shall have been paid, it is proposed to give, upon payment of 10s. per share, a new scrip certificate of a half share of 101., and to credit the same with 21. 10s.; such new share to bear upon it an obligation to pay an additional 10s. on or before the 30th June next, and also a further sum of 11. on or before the 31st October next, which several payments, amounting together to 21. only, being duly completed, these scrip certificates will be exchanged for stamped certificates of 101. shares (41. paid), made out either to " Bearer" or in the name of the proprietor, at his option. These stamped certificates being credited with 4/. paid, leaving only 6/. to be paid, by calls of 11. each, at inter vals of four months, and—bearing interest at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum, from the date of their issue— will thus at once yield to their holders (who will have paid but 21.) interest upon 4/., or at the rate of 101. per cent. per annum.

This was an action to recover the sum of 881., for goods sold and delivered by the plaintiff to defendant. Mr. Thomas appealed for the plaintiffs, and Mr. James for the defendant. The plaintiffs are smiths and a.xletree-makers, and the de fendant is a coachmaker. The action was brought for a number of axletrees supplied b y t h e plaintiffs for the use of the defendant. The defendant pleaded that the goods were not supplied for him, but were sent to him to get them sold by commission for the plaintiffs. The son of the defendant was called.—He stated that in 1839, he went out to Sydney as commission agent for the plaintiffs and several other persons, and in April, 1841, he re ceived a consignment of goods for sale to the value of 754. and on the 13th of June, in the same year, he received another parcel to the value of 131. 7e. 6d. With these goods he received invoices written and signed by Mr. Shorthouse. After he received the goods he wrote back to state that the goods marked on the invoices were of inferior qua li ty and much too high in price, and requesting to be informed what he should do with them. He subsequently sold the goods, but, in consequence of the very bad state of trade in the colony, the parties to whom he sold them became insolvent, and he received no return. Finding that his business in Sydney did not answer, he returned and saw the plaintiff in his father's house. The plaintiff asked him what he had done with the goods, and he said that he had received them, but had lost the return in consequence of the insolvency of the parties to whom he sold them. The plaintiff said, that in that case there was no more to be said about it, and he then took an order tor goods from witness's father to the amount of 171. That sum has been paid into court. Witness made no charge for com mission, as there were no returns, and the plaintiff himself had, at the interview of which he had spoken, distinctly ab solved himself and his father from all liability. By Mr. THOMAS—The line with fresh ink at the bottom of the invoice, and stating that the goods were to be con signed to witness at Sydney for the purposes of sale, is in the handwriting of Mr. Shorthouse, and the invoice was sent out to him at Sydney with that writing upon it. Mr. TZOMAC addressed the jury, and contended that these goods were supplied by the plaintiffs to the defendants for their own use, and not to be sold. The line in the invoice to the effect that the goods were to be sent out and sold were in fresh ink, and not discoloured by time like the rest. It had also the appearance of being written on old and dirty paper. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 10. Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LOAD CHIEN autos, and Middlesex Common Juries.) JACOBS V. AIDE. This was an action on a bill of exchange made by the de fendant, and endorsed to Levy and others, and eventually to the plaintiff. The affirmation of issue lay with the defendant, whose coansel, when the pleadings had been read, proposed to put in a final order of Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque in favour of the defendant. The plea said that this was a final order of protection and distribution, both which statements were denied in the plaintiff's replication. It was now contended that this order was made under the sth and 6th Vic., c. 116, and also under the 7th and Bth Vict., c. 96, s. 22. The former of these statutes enacted that a final order in bank ruptcy was a bar to an action for a debt previously incurred; and the second did not repeal that provision. On the part of the plaintiff it was submitted that the order of the Learned Commissioner of Bankruptcy gave protection to the person only. The LORD CHIEF BARON said he was clearly of opinion that this order was not one of protection and distribution, for the express words of the statute had been struck out by the Commissioner. The verdict must therefore be for the plaintiff. The jury, under his Lordship's directions, returned a ver dict for the plaintiff, with damages as in the declaration. May 11. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the Loa. CHIEF BARON and Middlesex Special Juries.) VIZ ATTORNEY•SENERAL V. HOWE. This was an information filed by the Attorney-General against the defendant, charging him upon several counts, which varied the offence, with conniving at a fraudulent de livery of sugars, without the payment of duty. The Attorney and Solicitor-General, with whom were Mr. Watson and Mr. Wilde, appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Pigot for the defendant. Mr. Henry Goodyer and Mr. Dengard were examined at some length as to the course of routine business with refer ence to the payment of duty on goods at the Custom-house. Mr. J. Richardson, a superintendent of lock ers a t th e Cus tom-house, stated that the defendant was a locker in the Cutler-street warehouse in 1846. Thesignature to the warrant produced is in the handwriting of the defendant. A locker's order would warrant the delivery of the goods mentioned in the order. Such an order ought to be en tered by the locker in a book, after comparing it with the dock-warrant, to see if they tallied. In the lockers' book there is a sort of charge upon the one side, and a discharge upon the other. Cross-examined by Mr. PlGOT—Cannot say how long Mr. Flower has been in the department. Believes that he has been there several years. The locker-box is open during the dav, and every body has access to it. The order is brought by the proper messenger in a tin case. Witness has seen them brought without the tin case. The locker is sometimes absent from his desk, in which case he would go to the other locker to give it to him. It might sometimes happen that a slight clerical error might creep into these orders. If a locker is absent for a day, the other locker would attend to his business for him, but would sign his own name to the war rant. A silk-locker might sign a locker's order for sugar. The orders are not kept carelessly ; but he remembers that Howes complained of their being kept carelessly. He had a lock placed on the order box at his own expense. The locker's order-box is like a sentry-box, so that two people can sit in them. The orders are kept in pigeon -holes there, and quite open. It sometimes happens that from the press of business, the entry into the book by the locker might be deferred for a day or two. The locker's order may some times be deficient in the mark of the goods. It might some times happen that on the warrant and the locker's order, the number of the goods is omitted. Witness has been 35 years in the department. The defendant has sometimes complained to witness that the number of his orders have been incorrect. If too great a number was men tioned on the order—to extend to more goods than were in dock, the mistake would be at once discovered, but it not some goods would be released without the payment of duty. Goods are never delivered without the payment of duty. The order might come unsigned by the controller, but they would be immediately returned. The defendant always sent back his orders to have such errors rectified. By the ATTORNEY-GENERAL —Witness bad acted as a landing waiter. The dock warrants are made out by the company. It is the duty of the locker to compare the locker's order with the dock warrant, and if he finds any error or difference between them he ought not to sign the order. Mr. Henry Palmer, a delivery foreman in the service of the Dock Company. His signature on the back of the war rant produced shows that he delivered the goods as men tioned in the warrant. The date is the 28th of August. The signature of the defendant is at the bottom of the war rant. The signature of Howes is witness's authority for letting the goods go—that is, as far as the Custom-house is concerned. By Mr. Proiox—Howe did not attend to the delivery of the goods. Has no doubt whatever about the signature Should act upon it at once. Mr. Richardson recalled—The book produced is Mr. Howe's lock-book. Mr. Dugard recalled—Knows the book produced. Has examined the book carefully, and finds no entry of the thirty bags of sugar mentioned in the warrant. It was the duty of the locker to enter the order in the book. Has searched among the ship papers for the duty paid warrant, but found no such document. Searched for the same purpose in the warrant and landing books, and in the register, but found no entry with regard to these goods. If things had been re gular these thirty bags of sugar would have been mentioned in all these books. Cross- examined.—There are several entries of several quan tities of sugar from the same ship as those thirty bags were taken from, approaching pretty nearly in number. If an error of thirty bags had by any means crept in, the error would be discovered. For all these entries from the Flora found the regular warrant, but none for the thirty bags. Mr. Goodyer re-called, stated that he had carefully ex amined all the documents which ought to have contained the entry of the payment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then went into similar evidence upon twelve other warrants, in which frauds were alleged to have been committed. Mr. PIGOT addressed the jury for the defendant at con siderable length, and submitted that the evidence adducedon behalf of the Crown, went to establish omission and errors only, as had prevailed notoriously in other departments of the Custom House. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied; and, the jury found a verdict for the Crown, with penalties in the sum of 7521., which the law triples after the finding. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 10. :Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and a Common Jury.) Several actions on bills of exchange were tried, but the details are perfectly uninteresting. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, May 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner HoLnoyn.) IN RE GOULTY. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a mast and oar maker at Milbank, came up for his certificate. Mr. Nictiou.s said that the bankrupt's expenditure had very greatly exceeded his profits during the two years over which his balance -sheet exteeded ; the profits had only been 896/. 95.; his trade expenses 693/., leaving a net profit of 202/., and during the same his household expenses wf-re 8871. 95. 4d., but as there were good debts to the amount of 2,500/., and the prospect of a fair dividend, the assignees did not wish to pre,3 an opposition. The bankrupt said his expenses had been so large in con sequence of havieg taken a house at 13rixton, in the hope of establishing his daughters in a ladies' school. His Hosoun said, that under all the circumstances he would grant, the certificate. GILPIN V. EGGG. Tliis was a summons under the Small Debts Act; the plain tiff is a tailor, the defendant a surgeon, and this was a de mand of 91. 7s. 4d. debt, and 141. ss. co: ts. It appeared that th e plaintiff had un d e rtaken to give c re di t for eighteen months, but brought an action before that time had expired . The d e f en d ant p l ea d e d to the action, but not having pleaded in proper form a verdict went against him. It was now urged that the defendant had vexatiously de fended the action. not vexatiously, b u t His lioNoun;aid th e d e f en d an t bad very properly done so, and it was only by the error of his at torney that the plaintiff , a as not nonsuit ed. He (his ) had power to depri ve t h e p l a i nt iff o f cos ts. The defendant was ordered to pay 10s. per month. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Giovanni Cavagnotti, an Italian boy, was brought before Mr. Hall upon a charge of begging. He had been found begging in the street by a policeman of the F division, who immediately took him in charge. lie WU lame of one leg. An interpreter having been sent for and obtained, the pri soner was informed of the nature of the charge against him, and called upon to give some account of himself. He said that he was a native of Parma, and had been brought to this country by two brothers named John and Thomas (Giovanni and Thomaso), who lived in Saffron hill. He had agreed to remain with them for eighteen months. He was turned out by them in the morning, and desired to go and " pick up what be could." He would be glad to return to his own country, but his "masters" would not let him. Mr. HALL desired the officer to go with the prisoner to the office of the " Society for the Protection of Italian Boys in London," and request them to pass him to his native place, or at least take him out of the hands of his masters. The interpreter observed, that these boys were very cruelly treated by their masters, and he knew several instances. He would go with the prisoner to explain the case at the so ciety's ogee. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. Patrick Quin, a sturdy young fellow, was placed at the bar, charged with picking the pocket of Colonel Joseph Harris, of the Oriental Club, Cavendish-square. The prosecutor stated, that he was walking up Brook street about a quarter to nine that morning, when the pri soner came up to him and asked for charity, as he was starving and out of work. He (the prosecutor) seeing that the prisoner appeared to be well fed and decently dressed told him to go about his business and work, if he could not get work to enlist for a soldier. The prisoner replied that he had tried to enlist, but could not get into any regiment, as they would not have him. He then proceeded on his way, but hearing some person walking stealthily behind him, turned round and saw the prisoner with his (the pro,e cutor's) pocket-handkerchief in his hand. The prisoner threw the handkerchief on the pavement and ran away. Witness pursued him, and gave him into custody. Police-constable D 15, was on duty in Oxford-street about nine o'clock that morning, when he saw the defendant run ning, pursued by the prosecutor, who was calling " Stop thief'!" Witness stopped the prisoner and took him to the station, where he was searched and two other handkerchiefs found upon him, secreted in his trowsers. The prisoner said he bought the two handkerchiefs for is. 6d., and denied picking the prosecutor's pocket. Ile would not be guilty of such an offence for the world. Several police-constables recognised the prisoner as an old (ffender, and said that he had been repeatedly con victed. Mr. BINIIHAM remanded him till Wednesday next. William Folly, a notorious beggar, was charged before Mr. Bingham with begging and assaulting the police -constable in the execution of his duty. Police-constable F 82, said he was on duty at Saint Giles's Church about eight o'clock on the previous night, when a gentleman came up to him and called his attention to the prisoner, who was almost in a state of nudity, with the ex ception of a few filthy rags which bore some resemblance to a nether garment. Witness desired the prisoner to leave the place, and not to annoy the people as they came out of church. The prisoner told him to "go to hell and mind his own business, for he had as much right there as witness bad." Witness then laid hold of him for the purpose of taking him into custody, when the prisoner kicked him in the lower part of his person with such violence that witness was almost disabled. He also struck him in the face, and no doubt would have proceeded to further acts of violence, had not some of the bystanders procured the assistance of another constable, who took the prisoner to the station. Police-constable 66 E, corroborated the evidence of last witness, and added, that the prisoner was one of the worst characters he had had to deal with tor some time. The prisoner, in defence. said he had been into church, and was merely standing at the door to see the congregation come out, when the constable came up to him, and, to his very great surprise, said he must go to the station. He could assure the Magistrate he did not intend any harm, and as to hurting the policeman, he (prisoner) would not hurt a worm. Mr. BINGHAM said he could not entertain any doubt but that the prisoner was stationed at the church for the pur pose of begging, which he must know was against the law. He had also been guilty of a gross assault upon the constable while in the discharge of his duty. He (Mr. Bingham) should therefore commit him to the House of Correction for one month, with hard labour. Eliza Smith and William Cox were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a shawl, the property of Mrs. Sarah Ann Tanner, No. 9, Loyd's place, B rom pt on . Police-constable, 140 C, said he was on duty about two o'clock that morning in the Haymarket, when two boys came up and informed that a lady had been knocked down and robbed of a shawl, and that the thieves had made off in the direction of St. Martin's-lane. Witness immediately went in pursuit, and in Orange .street came up with the prisoners. Directly they caught sight of him the man ran away. The woman dropped the shawl, now produced, and was about following her companion's example, when witness took her into custody. On their way to the station the male prisoner came up, and told the woman " to keep it dark, and it would be all right." Witness then took him into custody, and, after some trouble, managed to get them both to the station. John Hatton, an intell gent lad, about 14 yearsof age, said he was in the Haymarket about two o'clock that morning, when he saw the female prisoner walk up to a lady, and, after knocking her down, take a shawl from her shoulders. She then ran away, folio» ed by the other prisoner. Witness sub sequentiy gave information of what he had seen to a police constable. Sarah Ann Tanner said she got out of a cab in the Hay market about a quarter to two that morning, and was pro ceeding towards Piccadilly, when the female prisoner, whom she had previously observed following her, came behind her and knocked her down. The blow was so violent that it was some minutes before she recovered from its effects, when she discovered that her shawl had been torn from her shoulders. She proceeded to the police-station, and gave information to the inspector on duty of the robbery. Whilst she was doing so the two prisoners were brought in by the first witness, when she identified the female prisoner as the person who had knocked her down. She also identified the shawl as being her property, and worth about 41. The prisoner Smith denied the charge, and said she had never seen the shawl. Cox, in defence, denied all knowledge of the female pri soner, and said he was employed at the Lyceum Theatre as a supernumerary. He was on his way home from the latter place when the constable came up to him and took him into custody. The prisoners were remanded till to-morrow (this day). WORSHIP-STREET. William Collins, a ruffianly looking fellow, was charged with stabbing his wife in the head with a table-knife. Mary, the wife, stated that she had for a length of time past undergone a series of ill-usage from her husband, and that although he had plenty of work, she was almost starved by him. On Saturday night last she requested of him a little money, which request he treated with the utmost disdain, and at length, snatching up a knife, he thrust it into her head; but this charge she would not press, as all she wanted of him was a small allowance per week, and to be separated from him. ofonraN a o t y w t a h l said that te only could g ven h e her at husband present ine she treat. felony,arge r. co A urse he could recommend her to adopt, if h persisted in not pressing that charge, would be to apply to the officers of the parish in which she resided. The poor creature, who cried most bitterly, said she cer tainly could not think of pressing the charge of felony against her husband, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded. Henry Stanborough was charged with breaking the jaw and otherwise ill-treating a woman named Harriet Taylor, with whom he formerly cohabited. Police-constable 383 N, handed in a certificate from Mr. Coward, the district surgeon, testifying that the unfortunate woman was not out of danger. The prisoner said he could not deny the fact of having struck the woman, but the injury she had sustained was more the effect of her fall than the blow she had re ceived, as she was very drunk. She had called upon him at the early hour of three o'clock this morning, and smashed five pains of glass and tore his shert. The defendant was ultimately admitted to bail to appear again in a fortnight. James Stillfoid, formerly in the employment of Mr. Thomas Jennings, newavender, NO. 5, Crown-street, Finsbury, was charged as follows LATEST PRICES OF SHARES.

Mr. Jennings stated that the prisoner was in his employ ment up to the 20th of March last, but that during that day he had left it. On the 22d he found that he had called at one of his customers in Artillery-ground, and demanded the paper, which was given him. On the 29th he went to the house of Mr. Brunkard, No. 7, Queen-street, Finsbury, and received the Times newspaper, and 9d. for the reading of it, and since that period witness had discovered that he had em bezzled various sums, and obtained newspapers of several of his customers in a similar manner. The prisoner, on being asked if he had anything to say, re plied, " Nothing," and the depositions were ordered to be made out for the prisoner's committal, but he was ordered to be brought up again. SOUTHWARK. Thomas Ambrose, a powerful young man was charged with assaulting the police, and rescuing two prisoners (since tran sported) from custody. It appeared that on the evening of the 30th January, po liceman 44 it, went into the "Red House," Gravel-lane, for the purpose of appr e h en di ng a man for robbery. The pri soner, who was there at the ti me, swore that he wou ld knife" the policeman if he did not quit the house. The latter, however, proceeded to take a man named Witty into custody when he was knocked down by the prisoner, and kicked while laying on the ground. Witty escaped, but was afterwards recaptured; and, on a subsequent occasion, the same policem an was again attacked by the prisoner in effect ing the apprehension of a man named Muir, who has been since. tried and transported. Mr. CorritiGnam said that two of the prisoner's compa nion, whom he had attempted to rescue, had since been tried and convicted; that the prisoner himself had been guilty of great violence towards the police, and as it was a most serious offence, instead of d ea ling summarily with the charge, he should commit him for trial.

With reference to the murdered man, the inhabitants of Dagenham, assisted by the constables of the K division, have entered into a subscription for the purpose of placing a mo nument to his remains in Dagenham Churchyard. The mother of Clarke has recently visited the town, and has de tailed the particulars of a dream which she had. In re counting the dream she states that she was sitting on her son's grave when it opened, and she saw him lying in his coffin. She asked him who had done it, and he replied a person who is not in custody. This by the lovers of the won derful is looked upon as proof positive, and that party is now as freely made the murderer as Parsons was a short time since. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MAY 10.
