The One Test of the Session of 1857 is about be applied, Meaning—Mr. HENRY BERKELEY'S motion on the Ballot. Everything else coolly helved and quietly cushioned until 1858—The Ballot at leapt, thanks to the Hon. Member for Bristol, will still, according to annual wont, be ventilated in the popular branch of the Legisla ture. The re-distribution of the Electoral Districts , nay be set aside, for the time, as superfluous. The xtension of the Franchise, whether among the borough or county electors, may be once more for AD interval conveniently ignored. The Church- Rate Problem may be again shut up hastily in its )Icl cupboard, like Mr. THACKERAY'S grimly lotion of the Family Skeleton—a thing, to th e Nation at large, not to be talked of, or looked at, or scarcely even thought about ! And so with All the rest of the barely numerable Hydra-heads requiring to be lopped off with the sword of Re form. All these Liberal Measures, the commu nity have been so long dreaming about, are placed under a taboo. A year is indeed to be " wasted" —Mr. DISRAELI was right after all in his sar lonic prophecy—and it is to be wasted thus lesignedly. Everything, in short, is to be 4iven the go-by—everything affecting in the . -- re motest degree the c om pl ex ques ti on o f R e - form everything but TEE BALLOT.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1857 rfi E SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 16, 1857 hesitate before they reject a measure, which has been carried by a clear majority of 140, and on which the most distinguished men of their own party have opposed the narrow and almost sec- tarian views of their followers. The names of Lord LYNDHURST, of Mr. DISRAELI, and, we re joice to add, of Sir JOHN PAKINOTON, should exercise no ordinary influence with her MAJESTY'S Opposition ; and the memories of Sir ROBERT PEEL, Lord ELLESMERE, and Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, should add to the weight fairly at tached to the living Statesmen. The first division was on the question very un wisely raised by the Roman Catholic Members. They should be the last to desire the retention of any species of intolerance, considering how long and how improperly they were denied the enjoyment of their political rights, and yet the course which they pursued might have endangered the success of the bill, and prevented the smooth ing away of one of the chief difficulties that im pedes the attainment of the object which they may naturally desire to promote. We do not say that there was not great justice in the views which Mr. DEASY so temperately, yet so powerfully put forward, and if the single question of the Roman Catholic oaths were at issue, he would have merited, and received far greater support than he actually ob tained. It was, however, the injudicious amalga mation of two distinct propositions that was to be deprecated, and the only effect whereof would be greatly to endanger, if not absolutely prevent, the measure from obtaining the legislative sanc tion during the present session. However invidi ous might be the distinction between the oaths taken by the Roman Catholic and the Protestant Members however desirable to adopt one form that might be taken by per sons of every creed, it would have been more graceful to have abstained from taking advantage of the occasion, and seeking to prevent others from obtaining much required re:ief, unless they themselves received a portion of the benefits to be bestowed on their more injured fellow citizens ! It was, as we have stated, this view of the case that led to the rejection of the amend ment by a majority of 290, and of the subsequent one, moved by Mr. ROEBUCK in a similar spirit, by a majority of l'T5 ! The great struggle, however, took place on the amendment of Sir F. THEsmest, which was prac tically directed against the admission of Jews to the House. The mode by which that was to be achieved was, the retention of the words, "on the true frith of a Christian," a mere form which, it was universally admitted, was not originally aimed against Jew members, but merely intencied to ren der the adjuration more binding on the con sciences of those by whom it was taken. The words are not used or taken in any other oath. They are not required to give a religi ous sanction to the obligation. A purely accidental circumstance is made use of to deprive a number of good and valuable citizens—men who have stood by the nation in the most trying emergencies, of the rights and privileges to which they would unquestionably be entitled but for the contingency. The most important feature,. in last night's debate, was the straightforward and honourable recantation by Sir JOHN PAKINGTON of his former opinions. The Right Honourable Gentleman felt that the time had arrived when he could no longer consistently resist the just claims of his Jewish fellow subjects, and he very clearly and ably explained the causes of his change of senti ment. Ou one point we differ from him, very ' materially. The subject has, in our judgment, been brought forward in the very best form, and the Government acted far more wisely than in bringing in a separate Jewish Pill, and establishing a separate Jewish Oath. The more the swearing is simplified the better for all parties. Oaths are but " springes to catch sensitive conileiences," not affording the Tightest security, but rendering what should only he resorted to on the most urgent occasions far too familiar, and thus depriving it of a great portion of the solemnity, and mitigating the awe that every man must feel when calling the DEITY to witness for the first time. " Custom-house" oaths had passed into a proverb in the olden time. When resorted to fur the most trivial purposes they ceased to have any weight. They became in fact worse than useless, for they prevented the adoption of suitable and far more efficient pre cautions against the contemplated danger. All have heard of the numbers of conflicting constitu ,ions sworn to by Prince TALLEYRAND during his career, and there are thousands of others who might be placed iu the same category. The British law recognises the distinction be tween promissory, and other oaths. A man who swears that he will perform any act at a future period cannot be indicted for perjury, and in any degree legally punished for its violation. Wh y then retain the useless form in any way, save in matters wherein it cannot (perhaps) be dispensed with ? There are few persons on whose testimony reliance might be placed who w ou ld not prove equally truthful, on a simple affirmation, to state " the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the ,rutb," while those who would violate their so• [elan asseveration, would scarcely respect the oath ',hey had taken. We trust that 'the bill may now finally pass both Houses, and that it will speedily be followed )3 , another measure, sweeping away all useless ab- 'uratione,, and simplifying as much as possible ,hose which must still be retained. Parliament. It was scarcely to be expected that this year, of all years, he would deny himself the gratification of finding out another of his old plea surable opportunities. This particular year of grace, when he might actually, by means of his accustomed motion, test the views enter tained in regard to the Ballot by the aggre gate wisdom of a newly-elected Parliament. A test, moreover, especially desirable under the circumstances—remembering that this newly elected Parliament is positively, (so far as we can judge of the opinions of Members, from the views expressed by them at the Hustings) to a very con siderable extent a Ballot Parliament I A House of Commons, at any rate, to say the very least of it, among whose members many new Advocates of Vote by Ballot may be confidently anticipated upon Mr. BERKELEY'S next Division. Provided always the popular representatives are not alto gether forgetful of the promises, either volunteered by, or extorted from, them at the period when they were merely candidates for the suffrages of their constituents Bearing in mind the interest attaching to the revival of the Question of the Ballot by its inde fatigable champion, the Member for Bristol —we cannot feel any surprise that the Ballot Society, in anticipation of the Test of the 30th instant, should have called a meeting for the eve of that Momentous Tuesday —an aggregate meeting, to be presided over by Mr. GEORGE WILSON, the famous Anti-Corn-Law League Chairman of Manchester ! Our astonishment would have been great, had they not resolved upon such a course of proceed ing. We exult in the proof thus afforded by the Ballot Society to the Liberal Reformers through out the country, that they are in very truth, alive to the importance of the occasion. Never yet have the prospects of the Ballot looked at any period more propitiously. Let its sincere and earnest advocates, one and all, be true to it and to themselves —and a step onwards is already accomplished. We have not forgotten our pre mise as to this next Division upon the motion of Mr. BERKELEY. We have not forgotten it, and we shall not forget it—that promise distinctly made some time back, and since then more than once deliberately reiterated. We shall not merely be watchful and observant ourselves, but we shall enable others, by means of type, ink, and paper, to be watchful and observant likewise. We earnestly exhort our pro vincial contemporaries generally to cc-operate with U 3 •in these endeavours. Let each liberal local journal throughout the country re produce in its columns the division list con spicuously priutcd with somo particular mark, (whether by capitals, or italics, or asterisks), notifying to the locality the part taken in regard to this division by each respective representative. Remember the present is a very notable turning point in the pathway leading right on to All Re forms generally, and to this one great Reform of the Ballot, in particular. GREAT HANDEL FESTIVAL —Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert have intimated their intention of being present - at the Crystal Palace at the performance of Handel's oratorio "Judas Mecca bacus" on Wednesday (to-morrow), the 17th of June. Her Majesty and Prince Albert will be accom panied by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, his Imperial Highness the Archduke Maximilian of Austria, his Royal Highness Prince Frederick William of Prussia, their Royal Highnesses'the Princess Royal, Prince Arthur, Prince Alfred, and a numerous suite. The party will be conveyed in 9 royal carriages. In order to remove a misapprehension which appears to exist on the subject, we are requested to state that seats of both de•criptions, in excellent positions, are still to be had, and that both the guinea and half-guinea tickets can be °flanged for reserved seats on payment of the difference in price on the spot. We have also been re quested to state that as a very considerable number of the representatives of the provincial press from the prin cipal musical towns have visited London specially to at tend the Handel Festival, the c .nnittee of the Sacred Harmouic Society have intimated that on presenting their festival tickets at the Central Ticket-office, Exeter Hall, this day, they will receive an invitation for the performance of Mr. Costa's "Eli" to-morrow (Wednes day) night. Her Majesty, yesterday, inspected the engraving, by Mr. Thomas Landseer, to be dedicated to the Queen, of Madlle. Rosa Bonheur's picture of the " Horse Fair." The Archduke Maximilian of •Anstria, attended by Lord Charles Fitzroy, went yesterday morning to St. Paul's Catoedral, and afterwards inspected Westmin ster Abbey and the new Palace of Westminster. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Augusta Bruce and Sir George Cowper, arrived at her residence, Clarence House, St. James's, yesterday morning, from Frogmore. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary arrived at their residence, at St. James's Palace, last evening, from Cambridge Cottage, Kew. His Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, ac companied by Sir John Login, has arrived at Cl ar id ge ' s Hotel, from Castle M e nzi es , N.B. The Countess Craven gave an elegant ball last even ing, at the family mansion in Charles-street, Barkeley square. Their Serene Highnesses the Hereditary Prince of Saxe Meiningen and the Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe Weimar were among her ladyship's guests. Lady Hogg had a ball last night at her mansion in Carlton-gardens. Lady Halt of Llanover's evening assembly will take place to-morrow, the 17th inst., and not on the 17th July. Lady Molasworth entertained at dinner, last evening, his Excellency the Ambassador of France and the Coun tess de Persigny, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lon donderry, his Excellency the Sardinian Minister, Maria Marchioness of Aile ,, bury, the Marquis of Clsericar le, the Eirl of Mannesbury, Viscount and Viscountess Newport., Hon.

THE GRAND CALEDONIAN llALL.—Yesterday the committee of the ladies patronesses of this fancy dress ball met at Willis's Rooms, for the purpose of couplet ing the arrangements for the 22d. At the meeting the customary resolution was pas ecl, that the members of the Royal family and the foreign ambassadors and their ladies should be invited, Frum what can be gathered, there is every prospect of a very full and brilliant ball. LYCEUM THEATRE.—The second representation of " Catnma" by Ma lame Ristori, last night, attracted the largest audience that has yet assembled to witness the great tragedienne during her present engagement in England. Her performance possessed all the merits which we noticed in detail on Saturday, and excited a similar en thusiasm. MAIDSTONE.—REVIEW BY THE DUKE Or CAMBRIDGE. —Ye his Royal Highness the G eneral Corn rnanclitengr-daY ili-Chiet, attended by a numerous staff, arrived here by the 12 15 train, North Kent, and reviewed the troops of the garrison, the object being to give the colonels of the several cavalry regiments an insight into the "system of equitation" practised at the depot, pre viously to the dismissal of the "rained" men to their respective regiments.

Mr. George Wilson, of Manchester, is ex pected to preside. We are requested to state that the committee hope all friends of the ballot will attend on the occasion. RATE OF DlscohNT.----A. few of the speculative pur chases in the Stock-Exchange yesterday were said to have been Nadi) on the anticipation of a lowering of the rate of discount on Thursday next. The stock of bullion and the reserve of notes are cqnsiderably beyond the points at which they stood in May last year, when a re duction to 6 per cent. was adopted ; but among many parsons an impression prevails that no immediate move ment wi I be made, toe transient character of every re cent recovery being assigned as the reason for hesitation. Some of the principal letters from Paris express doubts of any reduction being made next Tnursday in the rate of discount of the Bauk of France. Others assert not , only that an alteration will be resolved upon, but that it will be to the extent of 1 per cent. The directors, it is said, greatly desire that tne first step should be taken by, the Rink of England. • . . LAW IWPJJ.TGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Westminster before Lord Campbell and a Special .Tury.) THE QUEEN V. CAPT. ERLAIL-ABDITCTION, It baying been rumoured yesterday that the trial of Capt. Erlam, charged with felony in the abduction of a Jewess, named Rosa Goodman, removed by certiorari into this court from the Central Criminal Court, would be tried this morning, gr, at interest was manifested as to the result, and long before the hour appointen for the corn• meneement of the husine,s of the court, the Court of Queen's Bench was crowned by persons anxious to ob tain a sight , 'f the parties and hear the details connected with this extraordinary case. Lord Campbell, however, to facilitate the business of suitors, took special jury ca-es in the Lord Chancellor's Court, whilst Mr. Jus ice Wighttnan proceeded with common jury cases in the usual Queen's Bench Court. Had therefore, the case been proceeded with, many, from not knowing the ar rangements, woad have been disappointed. On his lordship taking his seat, Mr. Serjeant Shee said that it would be very conve nient fur all parties concerned in this case if, as the case st rod the seventh on the list, his lordship would allow it to stand over till tomorrow. Lord Campbell said that it appeared to him that it would be impossible to r,Nicli it to-Jay, and that if either of the parties was not quite prepared to go on with the case to-day, he would acquiesce in the application. Mr. Sergeant Shee said he was not quite prepared with the defendant's case, and he therefore asked his lordship to aliw the case to stand over. Lord Canipt ell—Very well. The case therefore stands over for hearing to-morrow, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE T. RUSSELL.

The following is the address with which the Pre sident of the National Council of Switzerland closed its late session : - - - - "Gentlemen,—We can now close our extraordi nary session, devoted solely to the Neuchatel affair, for that matter may now be considered as terminated. We may declare with joy that the termination has been a fortunate one. When in Sept. last we received a report of the Federal Council on the events which were passing, and when we were summoned to de liberate on the question, public opinion declared itself more and more loudly to the effect that S witzer land ought to profit by these circumstances to obtain for a full amnesty to the royalists of Neuchatel the re cognition of the complete independence ofNeuchatel. What we then considered as the object to which we ought to direct our attention may be now re garded as attained. May we nut be allowed to c mgratulate ourselves on such a result and is it not the more valuable that it has been oetained at a time when little sympathy existed for the re publican State!, and when relations with abroad are difficult, particularly fur petty States ? The deliberation of the questions which have become the object of diplomatic relations in the legisla tive councils having numerous members presems different obstacles. Gentlemen, you have acted in your delibe:ations on the questions of Neuf chatel with a prudence, a moderation, and a tact which have been justly appreciated abroad. We likewise mist all acknowledge with joy that the excellence of our Federal institutions has been completely confrmed by the conclusion of the affair of Neuchatel. What the Fed.-ral authorities created by the present constitution of the Confede ration would nct have been obtained at all, or could only have been attained with difficulty, or in another manner, by the old Diet with its twenty two deputations bound by the instructions of their Grand Councils. -With the cry of The Confedera tion and Neuchatel for ever !' I declare this memo rable extraordinary session of the National Council to be now closed.'' THE PRINCIPALITIES. ----- A letter from Bucharest of the sth, in the _National Gazette of Berlin, says ;—" The la bours of the international commission have at length commenced ; it met two days back and decided that the presidency should be exer cised in turns. Satet Effendi, the Turkish commissary, is president for the present month. An account of the proceedings will be kept by a secretary of the president, but at the first sitting the Prussian secretary drew up the minutes. It appears that the discussion was very warm, and that serious differences of view have already been erpressed by the members. The commission de cided in a sitting it held yesterday on concerting with the Caimacan ' in a confidential manner, on the modificati ons to be introduced into the con vocation of the divans. This step is, however, one of pure form, for the commission is prepared to accept the modifications proposed in the document addressed recently by the Wallachian government to the Porte and to the commission." RUSSIA. A letter from Sebastopol of the 18th ult., in the liloniteur de la Plotte, gives some details which show the state of that port, and points out what has really been effected with regard to getting up the Isrevenltt athayesen:Try" It is well kno wn th a t of the allied fleet i n t o S siun eb o a kr s ea t ne oi r :o teo l s , spe the Russian Commander-in-Chief sank in succession three lines of vessels, one behind the other, and that in the night which followed the capture of the Malakoffand the town of Sebastopol, the Russians sank all the other vessels that hap pened to be in the port. A certain number which ware anchored near the shore, and in rather shallow water, were grounded rather than sunk, and received but very trifling damage. These are the vessels which were taken up, and which have been repaired at Nicolaieff. Among them are the Pruth, the Chersonese, the Reni, the Danube, the Et o il e du Nord, the Si latch, and the Ordinanetz, all small steamers. As to the line-of-battle shi ps , f r i gates, and other vessels, either steamers or saili ng ones, w hi ch were sunk to form the three lines alluded to, it has been found impossible to move them. Tney are deeply embedded in the sand, above the bilge, and are heavily laden with stones and other ar ticles, which were conveyed on b oard i n order to keep them firmly is thei r p l aces. As their masts and rigging have been removed, they do not in any way impede the navigation, whichj is confined to merchant vessels, since, according to the tt-ruas of the treaty of Paris, vessels of war are excluded from the Black Sea, with the exception of a certain number of small ones. At the time of the destruc tion of the Russian fleet, it only comprised 3 steamers, among which were the fine frigate Wlidimir, of 400-horse power, two corvettes, the Bessarabia and Gromonosetz, of 260-horse power. All these have . been or may be got up with more or less success, but as to the others, should they even be raised, they would not be worth the expense incurred in the operation. As to the reconstruction of the land and sea forts for merly defendi ng S e b astopo l, w hi c h h as b een men tioned by s evera l fore i gn journals, the sta , etnent is a pure in ven i on. The port of gel)astopol is now almost entirely abandoned by naviga , ion, as it is less advantageeus for commerce than that. of Katniesch, and is only frequented by a few fishermen, who sell their cargoes to the persons who h twk fish about the interior of the country. The point to which the Russian Government now directs all its efforts is Th eo d us i a or Kaffa, an excellent port, situated more to th e sou th, which is to be o n e of the he a d s o f the line of railway, and is likely to become a great maritime and commercial point."

Jul of Victoria, cap, 94, and vests the lands of each see, on the next avoidance, in the Ecclesiastical Com mi.,sioners for England. The advices from Ptrn received yesterday lead to the hope that, now that Vivanco has lost his army and given up his fleet, the revolutionary spirit will settle down, and the resources of that fine country be applied by honest and able hands to strictly fulfilling its pecu niary obligations, and will add to its internal improve ment. From Buenos Ayres accounts have been received of the address of the new President, Dr. Alsina. In an nouncing the arrangement effected with the English bondholders, subject to the approval of the Chambers, he expressed his satisfaction at the prospect of the affair being acljosted "in a way that will equitably conciliate all interests."

On Saturday night she sat up in bed trimming a bonnet, and while so doing went to sleep. The bed clothes, by some means or other, took fire from a candle which she had left burning by the bed side, and before the fire could be put out by the per sons whom the screams of the deceased brought to her assistance she had received fatal injuries. Two children who were sleeping in the same room were also burnt, but not severely. THE GLASGOW POIS )NING CASE.—On Saturday night last Miss Madeline Smith was served in Glasgow prison with an indictment to stand her trial before the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh on Tuesday, the 30hh inst. The indictment contains three counts, but practi cally they resolve themselves into a charge of murdering, in attempting to murder, Pierre Emile L'Angelier, by administering to him arsenic at different times, but par ticularly on the night between Sunday, the 22d, and Monday, the 23d of March last. NETLEY HOSPITAL.—Tne Government are determined to proceed with the erection of Netley Hospital. They have a host of medical authorities to testify to the salu brity of the spot oft which it is building. The corpora tion of Southampton have ordered Dr. Cooper, the officer of health to the corporation, to prepare a report for the government, to show from medical statistics the fallacy of the stateinents which have been made in Par liament and the public press relative to the insalubrity of Southampton stri the neighbourhood of Netley.

REFUSAL OF CERTIFICATE TO A BANKRUPT BANKER. —At the Bristol Bankruptcy Court yesterday, a certifi cate was refused to George Worrall Jones, banker, Crickhowell. In his judgment his Honour (Mr. Com missioner Hill) observed that the Bankrupt Law was not meant to hold out its benefit , to persons who systemati cally set at nought all the safeguards against ruin which honest traders had devised for their own pro ection and that of their creditors, and which now formed the estah fished usages of cnnimerce. In this case it was quite clear that the bankrupt had neglected these safeguards, and he must therefore now bear the consequences of the conduct he had pursued. A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE AND ITS END. —You ng ladies of a romantic turn of mind may derive some wholesome experience of the misery which awaits iil assorted matches from a case now before the Paris tri bunals, in which a Madame Chabre seeks to be divorced from 11 , r husband, Mons. Chabre, alias Lightning. The lady it appears is the daughter of a noble Belgian family, and she was sonic years ago possessed of beauty, youth, and 7,2001. sterling. It happened that while visiting the famous circus of M. ajean, Brussels, she fell desperately in love with the clown of his establishment, surnamed Lightning, probably from the marvellous manner in which he blazed away. She foll.wed the intere-ting object of her passion to Paris, where she and Lightning were united in the holy bonds of matrimony. But the ungrateful clown, after spending the property brought to him by his romantic wife, , :eserted the latter, .aud flashed away with a young lady connected with Fran collet., whose talents in jumping through no end of paper hoops captivated his practical mind. THE TURNER COLLECTION.—From a passage in the account of the Turner C•dlection which appeared in The Times of yesterday, it might be inferred that we attri• buted to Mr. Woroum the task of actually cleaning and restoring these pictures. This labour has been performed with great skill by Mr. Bentley, of Sloane-street, while on Mr. Wornum fell the arduous duty of general super intendence and arrangement. In this labour that gentleman has been uninterruptedly engaged fur several months past, and to his patience and discrimination in recognising these pictures, begrimed with soot aid dirt, by the descriptions to be found in ell civalogues, the public, among other tiring,,, are indebted for the excellent insariptien on each picture which fixes its sub ject and year of composition. To the same gen Liman the public are also iniebted for an excellent authorised catalogue of the British pictures in the National Collec tioc, which has recently made its appearance.--Tiiitezz, CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) WATCH ROBBERY.—Ed ward Crawford, 23, a coach spring maker, was indicted for stealing a case and four watches, the property of Charles Augustus Duve, from the person of Johanna Dave. Mr. Payne appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner. The prosecutor who is a watchmaker in the neighbour hood, of Regent-street, sand about ten days previous to the date of the robbery, which took place on the 12th of May, he came to his shop, and asked to look at a certain article, but he did not pur chase anything, and, up.m the day in question when the robbery was perpetrated he again went to the shop, when the prosecutor's wife and a little boy only were present. He asked to lo ik at some watches, and Mrs. Duve showed him a case containing six. He was in the shop altogether about 10 minute, when a whistle was heard, and someh , dy out,ide gave a signal, and the prisoner immediately seized the csseand was about to make off with rt. Mrs. Duve seized him and a struggle ensued, during which two of the watches fell from the case, and the prisoner then ran out of the shop with the property. Information of the robbery was given to the police, and in a few days afterwards the prisoner was brought into the shop, when Mrs. Dove immediately recognised him as the person who bad committed the robbery. Upon being closely questioned by the counsel for the prisoner, she said she had not the slightest doubt as to the prisoner being the person who stole the watches. For the defence it was attempted to prove an alibi which entirely failed. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. It was here intimated to the court that the prisoner had on a former occasion been convicted of stealing plate, and bad been sentenced to nine months' im prisonment and had only been out of prison a few months during which time he had been the constant associate of notorious thieves. The Court seriteuced him to six years penal servitude. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in disposing of Mint prosecutions. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH STREET. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Vincento Pallassano, and John Rigi, two exceedin g ly ill-looking I alians, were placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, charged with stealing seven and a half ‘ards of c'otti value 28 , ., the property of Benjamin Barron, tailsr, No. 292, Oxford-street, Henry Barron, porter to the prosecutor, stated that about ten o'clock this morning he was down in the area, when he saw the two prisoners go into the shop, and in about a minute afterwards the prisoner Pallassano ran out with two pieces of cloth under neath his arm, and the tickets hanging down from beneath his coat. Witness immediately came up and ran into the street after the prisoner, with whom he came up a few yards from the shop, with the cloth in his pos session. He directly collared him, and took him back to the shop, where he found the prisoner Rigi engaged in conversation with the prosecutor. As soon as the pri soner entered the shop he dropped the cloth, and swore be bad not touched it. The prosecutor said about ten this morning the pri soners came into his shop, and Rigi asked to look at some trousers, and while prosecutor was engaged in showing him several patterns, he observed the prisoner Pallassauo moving about the shop in a must suspicious manner, and all at once he missed him from the shop. In about five minutes afterwards the prisoner was brought back by the last witness, who charged him with stealing the cloth produced. Witness then sent for a constable and gave them in charge. The prisoners, who are suspected of being concerned in other robberies in the city, were remanded for a week. Miles Lefevre, a Frenchman, was charged with stealing six plate brushes, value , the property of Mr. Cooper, brush maker, 61, Pmcaddiy. It appeared from the evidence of Sergeant Simkins, 16 C, that this morning, about nine o'clock, he was on duty in Piccadilly, when be saw the prisoner go up to prosecutor's shop and deliberately take the brushes from a hook in front of the shop and walk off with them. He pursubd him and took him into custody. A previous conviction having been proved against the prisoner he was committed for trial. SOUTECWARIC.—CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.—WiIIimu Goddard, a re spectable-looking mail, was brought before Mr. Combo charged with embezzling various sums of money, re ceived for and on account of his master, Mr. James Phillip, rope and twine manufacturer, Union-Street, Southwark. Mr. Neale attended for the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner bad been in his employ as traveller and collector about two years, and it was tile duty to collect orders and receive money from the custommrs, which latter he ought to have paid over to witness directly atter receiving it. A short time ago he had some suspicion as to his honesty in conse quence of the non-payment of several sums from custo mers who formerly paid so regularly. He inconsequence went round to then and ascertained that he had received about 291. in less than a month, which he bad not accounted for. Witness then called in a police•constable and gave the prisoner into custody. He then admitted having received the money and converted it to his own use, and he begged to be allowed a day or two to see his friends and settle the matter. Witness, however, re fa.ed to do so, and the took him into custody. William Snoden, of 40, Red Lion-street, Holborn, said he was a customer of the prosecutor and gave the prisoner orders for him. On the 15th of last month he paid him 31. Os. 7d. on his account, and the prisoner receipted the invoice. Two other cases of a similar nature were proved, when Mr. Combo said they were quite sufficient for the sessions. Mr. Neale said that if his worship intended to send his client for trial he should reserve his defence. Tiae prisoner was accordingly committed for trial. S, A VIOTIAI OP THE THAM ROYAL E BRITISH BANK.—EIIa Marian Gerrard, or Jirrard, a widow, about fifty years of age, of lady like appearance and good address, was brought before. Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing various articles from her ready furnished lodgings. Mrs. Louisa Plank, of No. 10, Leslie-street, Stepney, said the prisoner hired ready furnished apartments of . her a few weeks since, and had paid her rent very irregularly. She had suspected the prisoner was con tinually robbing her, and her suspicions were confirmed on Saturday, when she ini3sed a new shawl worth two guineas from her bedroom. She taxtd the prisoner with stealing it, and after some hesitation the prisoner delivered the shawl to her, and said she was going to Pay a visit to a friend, and intended to wear it for a short time. Since then, she had missed a blanket, sheet, towel, and various other things, and discovered that the prisoner had pawned them. Joseph Jones, assistant to Mr. Tilley, pawnbroker, produced a blanket, sheet, and towel, vawned by the prisoner on the 29m of May and 13,h of June. Tne pro perty was identified by Mrs. Plank. Tne prisoner, who was deeply affected and sobbed loudly, said she had been involved in p-euniary difficul ties, Owing to the failure of the Royal British Bank, iu which all her fortune was invested. She had undergone great privations, --She would admit having Pawned Mrs. ' SPORTING NOTES. ST. JAMES AND ST. GILES. S.
