.EVENING EDITION.: ONE I MA ever, at a loss to know if their apprehension be well fnunc'ted, as though a great deal is i written on the sub ject, we find it nowher e stated n precise term.; to what measures the Conference mean to resort. Every thing depends on the resolution taken by Ibrahim Pasha to rest on the defensive in Syria, or to march on Constantinople. If the former, negotiation will go on and a nominal blockade i e es tablished ; but if the latter, the British fl: et will move to the Dardanelles, and a Russian army debark in Asia Minor. The answer of Mehemet Ali to the Count Walewski was as decided as that given to Ri fat Bey, and the old Pasha declares himself determined not to yield one inch of ground. It is said, however, that when M. Walewski spoke of the mediation of France—the real object of his mission—Mehemet Ali protested that he desired nothing better, and that he was ready at once to submit himself, provided the Con ference would do the same, to the arbitration of Louis Philippe. Whether this offer was tendered with the hope, on its being accepted by Mehemet Ali, of making out a case against the Great Powers, or its being rejected by the Conference, we know not, but it is generally understood at Paris that M. Walcwski was sent to feel the pulse of Mehemet Ali, before the allies were spoken to on the subject. The mediation of France would certainly be the best means left of extricating that nation from a false position, and of saving Great Britain from a great deal of embarrassment. The sooner the eastern ques tion is settled, the sooner the Anglo-Russian alliance is dissolved, and every sacrifice of form should be made to keep Russia from the Levant. The French papers do not exhibit much confidence in the peaceable intentions of Great Britain, and they assert, on the authority of a letter from Malta, that we have determined to take possession of St. Jean d'Acre. No event could occur more likely to increase the hostility of France. But it is useless discussing a campaign before it is opened ; and we wait with patience for the first operations of Mehemet Ali, or of the Conference. A report pre vailed in Paris on Saturday that the Russians had sus tained a very serious defeat in Circassia. (From the Horning Post.) The French capital has been the scene of serious dis turbances for some days past. The st.ske of the Pari sian operatives, commencing in passive resistance, has broken out into open violence. Collisions have taken place with the authorities, blood has been shed, lives have been lost, and the whole community threatened by an insurrection. It has been calculated that up wards of 40,000 workmen have paraded the streets of Paris, unarmed, it is true, but presenting all the indica tions of military discipline. The men are composed of various trades and callings, and it does not seem so much to be a strike for a rise of wages as for a change in the rules of the respective employments. Thus, two classes of workmen, marchandeurs and tacherons, are par ticularly objected to by the majority of the operatives. The latter are those who work by the piece, and the former are a superior kind of workmen, who engage subordinates to complete jobs, a species, in fact, of jobbing labourers. Without entering into the trade technicalities, it is sufficient to say that the main object of the operatives is to reduce the hours of labour, to increase the wages, and to get rid of the masters' rules of trade which exact and insure the completion of any particular work or labour. With some real grievances are undoubtedly mixed up imaginary wrongs, all arising from that melancholy state of society in France, en gendered by the present rulers having founded their authority on the vox populi. The doctrine of resist ance inculcated by the French revolutions is one which is naturally resorted to by these misguided men— they are strictly logical, only the moment is inoppor tune. In 1830 the masters gave their workmen a holi day, that the latter might be let loose upon the streets to assist in the barricade revolution. In 1840 the work men quit the shops and yards of their masters to ob tain some advantages for what they fought and bled for ten years before. Where is the illegality ? It is in success or failure. The present strike may have no political cause, but it looks, it must be confessed, very suspicious. Sums of money have been found on the persons of some of the workmen arrested far be yond their means. Two countries divide the honour of this outlay—England and Russia. As for us, the ac cusation is absurd. For the information of French editors we will mention that our secret service money is so small that it barely suffices for diplomatic purposes— getting news. As for Russia this is not the first time she has been thus accused. Louis Philippe could communicate something on this subject. If the Crouy Channel correspondence could see the light it might establish that Russian gold was in the Bonapartist plot of last year. Durand, of the Capitols, openly avowed that this journal was established by supplies from Russia. To return to the strike. It appears that on Friday the aspect of affairs was very alarming. All the workmen had turned out, and assembled in va rious parts of the capital. The authoritier, however, were on the alert, and the garrison of Paris had been strwthened by additional troops from the surrounding pia - Ns. On Friday the Ministerial paper assures us that the proclamations of the Prefect had produced their effect, and that the mingled threats and en treaties had induced some of the trades to abandon the strike. Several hundreds of the ope ratives have been arrested, and an immediate prose ; cution of the leaders was in progress. This is all very well—the Government has vindicated its autho rity, but something more must be done to remove this state of anarchy. If the Parisian population could be inspired with respect as well as fear for power, then something might be hoped ; but superior force triumphant to-day may be in the other scale in a future outbreak, and the reminiscence of the past will not be so easily effaced. It is the curse of the French people that they have no notion of constitutional modes of obtaining redress. Their remedy for oppression real or imaginary is an entente, and what other code of mo rality can be expected from a nation whose dyiiasty and institutions emanated from that source. The illegiti macy of power in France weighs it down. Have we not seen in the corn riots—in the little outbreaks of towns and villages—that resistance to authorities is the very first thing acted upon. There is co respect for the law, and nothing but brute force can influence their perverted understandings. In respect to the details of the deplorable scenes in Paris, they will be found else where in extracts from the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday. TY NEWS (SATURDAY EVENING.) POST.—We understand that another effort is about to be made by the holders of Foreign Bonds, the di sidends of which are suspended, to obtain their due ; and we are of opinion, assuming that what we hear as to the coarse proposed to bo adopted is correct, that much may be expected from it. It is said to be in the contemplation of some of the more iorlucriti 1 of the number, as no substantial good has been effected by either of the separate Committees foran - ,l for the pro tc-ction of specific classes, to take measures for uniting them, and to see what can be accomplished by a combination of the whole. A general Committee of Foreign Bondholders, if properly supported, as we should conceive it would be, so many persons being interested in the loans contracted in England for the ueof different States abroad, might exercise an im mense influence by its own immediate proceedings in co nneetion with such States alone ; but there is an in fluence of a local and passive kind that it would possess from which infinitely more important results might be anticipated. The foreign bondholders have considered themselves ill-treated by the English Government. They have considered, and with a great appearance of justice, that as, in the cases of Spain and Portugal more particularly, they were encouraged to lend their pro perty ter the promotion of certain political objects of the Administration, it was base in the latter to allow the Governments of the two nations to act so dishonestly by then as they have done. In ordinary cases it is no doubt desirable that Ministers should steer clear of all partici patios in foreign loan affairs, but when they come to see their countrymen made the dupes and victims of borrowing States, it appears to us to be their bounden duty to interpose. There is the civil law to prevent one British subj ec t f rom c h eat i ng anot h er, b ut w h ere nations a criminals, it is the Government alone that can obtaffi redress for the injured party. It is, we be lieve, the purpose of the individuals who propose to form the general Committee of foreign bondholders to bring the Parliamentary influence it may have into operation. Toe sufferers are spread over the whole face of the errantry, and the idea is drat Government may be coerced into action, candidates being required to pledge themselves on the hustings to withhold their support fr.un it in the event of further refusal. The sum of money at stake is so enormous as to render the honest discharge of foreign dividends a matter of national im porter:toe. Directly and indirectly, it is of importance to all classes of society, and we arc satisfied that a move must be una - de sooner or later. CHRONICLE.—We have more than once alluded to the subject of the acknowledgment of the indepen dence of Texas by Great Britain—a step which was adopted some t•mc since by Prance, and followed up by an international treaty between that republic and France. The other day, in noticing some remarks of the Ame rican press, we mentioned we had reason to believe that they originated in the circumstance of Mr. Pakenham having offered his friendly offices to bring about an arrangement between the two Republics, which had been favourably received by the Mexican authorities. It has always been understood that Texas was willing to take upon itself a proportion of the Mexican foreign debt, as the prise of its recognition as an independent state by this country , and that the sum of one million sterling had actually been as good as offered by a Texian envoy. W Q have received a communication on this subject from a correspondent, in which he justly observes, that as " Ow territory of Texas is pledged by deed to the bondhoers," Lord Palmerston has good grounds for stipulating that the English creditors should participate in the benefit of the recognition of Texia n independence, should th a t me a sure be deemed expedient by her Majesty's Government ; and we hope that his suggestions may meet with attention in the proper .quar:er. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNA PROM THE MOKNING PAPERS OP THIS DAT. ( Fronk the Morning Chronicle.) If we thought that the Priests were at the bottom of the Repeal agitation, as the Standard alleges, we should deem the matter very serious indeed. But what evi dence is there of the priests mixing themselves up with Repeal ? Till we have some evidence of this, we shall hesitate to believe that the priests generally counte nance Repeal. We do not, of course, suppose that the insults oontraually heaped by Protestant clergymen oe the Roman Catholic religion and its ministers are peculiarly calculated to reconcile the priests to the anomaly of the Establishment in Ireland of a Church from which the great body of the people derive no be nefit. Wore the Union dissolved, the Establishment, which even the Union will sot be always able to main tain, would no doubt receive at once its death-blow. But the Priests are not, we trust, such fools as to suppose that the separation of Ireland and Britain can be as easily eifeeted as was the separation of the Union be tween Belgium and Holland. Belgium was twice as popttlaus as Holland, Britain is twice as populous as Irehead—these ore slight differences, to say not:king of the still more striking disproportion in point of wealth. Brig will ; never consent to repeal, and repeal cannot be wrtis. from Britain at the sword's point. Th e very attempt, however, would entail on both islands this most fearfel calamities. Blood would be shed in torrents but the retire of peace would not be tke return of pros perity. Who can think, without horror, of the long years of misery which would necessarily flow in the train of suppressed rebellion l No, the priests cannot en • tertain the thought of a separation to be effected by ioice—the only mode by which it could possibly be ob tained. It has been said that " priests of all religions are the SIU10." It is ce;tain that priests, like all other men, wish to obtain ag much money for as little labour as possible. On the other hand, a religion is most advanced by a poor clergy. The Church of Rene, at the period of the Reformation, was rich ; and its clergy were notoriously lazy. The Reforma tion spread with rapidity, and in a comparatively short period threatened to become universal in Europe. Siemondi tells us that in France the great majority of the nobility and the middle classes of towns belonged to the Reformation, and that the lower orders chiefly re mained Catholics. It was all but secure in Poland, and GeAntway might be said to have embraced the Reforms. tion. Even in Spain and Italy, as Dr. M'Crio has shown, the Reformation at one time had made great progrees. Stript of her po3sessiens, and her authority renounced throughout the greater part of Europe, the Church of Rome reformed herself and made the most stupendous exertions. The Jesuits were one of the main instruments by which Rome recovered her influence. They shrunk from no labour ; they established excellent schools and taught gratuitously. Church after church was won back, Prince after Prince renounced Protestant ism, till, at the period when Gustavus Adolphus entered' Germany, it became doubtful whether it could maintain its ;mind in any part of the Continent. But the Jesuits who performed these miracles were poor ; they became in time rich, and lost their zeal and energy. W e wish the Bishop of London, who states that the .Protestant clergy of England may he managed with case, could inform us in what manner they can be cured of their propensity to abuse the Catholic priests. It is suite clear that abusing the priests does not advance the eause of Protestantism. Instead of grudging the Catholics the establishment of Maynooth, sound policy would dictate a still more liberal treatment. The Ca tholic laity are strongly opposed to any connection between the- Government and their priesthood ; but we question very much whether, if the priests were at liberty, they would feel ane strong indisposition to sa laries from the State. (From the Morning Aduertiser.) It must be evident to all who consider the subject, that ere are on the egg of a great change with regard to out trade in the Eagt. By this time there is little doubt edr naval armaments have carried terror, and with terror tromrs--ternis favourable to the increase and the security of our trade—to the Government of the Celes- I *dal Empire. Tae success of our expedition to China will met be confined to that country—the moral and the mereamile effect rill be felt in Java, Borneo, Celebs, the ?hill:pine Nandi, Cochin china, Sham, &c.—all which piaceet steel be made %Tit markets for our produce, and slonbtleen will he, if wisdom sit at our Colonial Board, tad ostorpris o animate ciur capitalists.

They will willingly trade with us, if t h ey are permitted, for anythi ng we have to offer, vided they can get it cheaper f rom us than fromcth p e r r o s - Nor is this all.

In fact, whatever turn affairs take, it seems certain that good must arise to India. If our cannons produce a treaty of commerce upon more favourable principles than before (certainly, we shall not take less), Indian productions may be sent direct in ex change for the teas of China. If otherwise, we mutt cultivate, in the Assam oountry and towards the feet of the Himalaya mountains, the tea plant, which is inch. genous to those localities, and sugar, it well kno wn , can be grown and manufactured in India quito equal to any ever produced in Jamaica or the West Indies, A small Company have been for some time very quietly growing and manufacturing sugar JD India, di?, under the same of the Dhobah Company, and their sugars, it is Allowed, are the most beautiful in the mariee:, It is now discovered that the East India sugar generally imported did not contain so much saccharine matter as that of the ',Vest Indies, solely from the ignorance and carelessness of tile native makers, who allowed acetous fermentation to take ie l ece, which European West India planters know how to prevent.

(From the Titnes.) During the whole administration of Lord Normanby, even from the first drawing up of his theatrical Excel lency's curtain, the great object of his management was to create the illusion, that under the I'Vhig dynasty the public peace bad been re-established throughout the sister kingdom. What outrages were now committed, belonged, said the Whigs, to the agrarian, not to the political class ; and, whatever their nature, there was, at all events, a vast diminution in their number. The Lords' Committee, which inquired last year into the general state of Ireland struck a death-blow to the agra rian theory. The evidence taken before it, from all sorts of witnesses, established beyond the pos sibility of doubt, that in a large majority of all the Irish counties there were organised lodges of Rileand men, constituted for purposes not only political but revolutionary, with secret oaths, secret signs, and secret passwords, exercising a fearful iuiluence over the minds of the lower classes, and affiliated with the discontented associations of the manufacturing dis tricts in England. In 1839 the Ministers assured us that the whole story of Ribandisin was a mere party in vention to alarm the country, the raw-head and bloody_ bones of a drunken Tory imagination. In 1840 they are taking credit with Parliament for having instituted Rband prosecutions all over the country. So much for the real character of the disturbances, proved against the Ministers by their own indictments, as well as by the examinations of the Lords' Committee ; to which proofs we will cow add but one little pithy line, taken from the testimony of one of the witnesses on the !ate inquiry—" I never knew the country," said he, "to be in so disturbed a state as dur ing the year previous ;" " and," says he, " the out rages arc not agrarian." This evidence brings down the refutation of the Government theory to the end of the last winter ; and it is entitled to a special weight, because the witness who gives it, Thomas E. Davenport, Esq., is one of those who were called on the side of Mr, Jackson, that is of Mr. Jackson's employers, the Ministers for Ireland. It certainly appeared from Lord Normanby's citation of the official returns of crime in Ireland, that the number of "serious offences" committed there in the earlier months of the p resen t year, though large in comparison with the criminal calendar of any other equally populous country calling itself civilized, was somewhat smaller than the number committed during the corresponding period of former years in Ireland. And here has been the grand point of refuge for the Irish Government. Whenever they have been convicted of misconduct in other particu lars, they have pleaded the diminution in the number of " serious offences" as evidence of their prudent and Popular sway. There are still, they have said, some outrages ; some there will always be ; but compare tlie returns with those which were filed in the days of Tory Governments, and then you will2see what pecifi caters we have been.' So lately as the 3d of last month, on Lord Charleville's ° motion for the papers connected with the Pallaskenry disturbances, Lord Normanby assured the House of Lords that the number of outrages committed within that district in the first five months of 1840 was but 31, being less by one than the num ber committed there in the same period of 1839. In the county of Limerick, where the district situate, this statement seemed wholly inexplicable • is because at the moment when the Noble Marquis w ' as deliver ing himself to this effect, it was matter of notoriety to every inhabitant of that county that the number y o f such offences, so far from being diminished, was increased to an a mount which had spread insect!: curity and consternation through all the country round. ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE. NORTIIERN CIRCUIT.-I,ri-E2tpoor., Snrr, 4 HAWLEY V. WAGG. This was an action for libel. The plaintiff is an excavator and the keeper of a beers Lop at Greenhedge, near Winchester, and the de fendant is a police-officer at Stavelef. In the month of February last the latter published the libel com plained of in the Manchester Courier and the Derby shire Chronicle. The libel was headed " Dispersion of a Gang of Thieves—Capture of one of their Leaders ;"' and stated that the neighbourhood of Chesterfield for some time had been the theatre of considerable depre dations ; and so systematically had the delinquents con ducted their practices, as to elude the vigilance of the police ; that in January the house of a Mr. Britt and and another gentleman in the neighbourhood were robbed, in consequence of which, Wagg, the police officer of Staveley, instituted a vigilant inquiry, and at length obtained such a clue of the robbers, that he went to the house of John Hawley, a hear-house keeper at Greenhedge, where he found property which justified him in placing Hawley in custody. Evidence was called to show that this statement had materially injured the reputation of the plaintiff. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 20/. SATUJIDAY. JOULE V. JACKSON. This action was brought against the defendant to recover damages for an illegal distress. The plaintiff is a brewer, and the goods seized were his casks, by which he carried on his business. The question in the case was, whether casks so employed were liable to seizure. On the part of the plaintiff, several witnesses were called to prove the custom of trade, and they stated that it would be impossible to carry on a brewery unless casks were protected. Oa the part of the defendant it was urged, however inconvenient it might be to brewers to have casks seized, the law, as it was now constituted, gave the right of seizure. It had bee❑ decided that a loom lent to a weaver to finish his work could be seized for rent, and this was analogous to that case. A verdict was finally taken for the plaintiff, subject to a motion to enter a nonsuit. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A Frenchman, named Albert, who was stated to be a commission agent, was summoned before the Lord Mayor by his countryman, Monsieur Henri Lavine, eatinghouse-keeper in St. Mary Axe. The complainant said, in very indifferent English, that the defendant had some time ago incurred a debt of fourteen shillings for cooked victuals and drink, and that he treated all application for the amount with the most annoying contempt. The LOAD MAYOR—I am sorry to Lear it, but I can't interfere. It is a mere debt, and you must sum mon him to the Court of Requests. Defendant—Ah ha, sare ; it is a debt, care, and dat viii pay de all of it (throwing a printed piper on the table, and looking about exultingly). Mr. Hobler—This paper, my Lord, is Mr. Albert's discharge under the Insolvent's Act.—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—Oh, this is your answer to the demand, is it ? Defendant (putting his arms a-kimbo) —Ah ha, yes, care, dat is my ansare. Dat is all de mony I give him. The LORD MAYOR-4f is very dishonest in you not to pay, for you seem to be well able to do so, and he is a very poor man. Defendant (grinning)—Ah, ha, put your eye dere (pushing the paper towards his Lordship) ; read, :read. You rill see de mony vas paid by dat paper. The LORD MAYOR—I see you have passed through the Insolvent Court since you ran in the poor fellow's debt. Defendant (laughing heartily)—Oui, oui ; ah, I did eat and drink before dat paper come to me ; but, my my Lor, dat paper pay all my debts. I don't owe no ting, noting at all. The LORD MAYOR (to the complainant)—Well, my poor man, I am sorry I cannot prevail upon him to pay you ; he is a very bad fellow indeed. Defendant—Ah, ah, my Lor ; your Lordship act veil —you can't make a me pay my debt no more. No, no, I no pay noting more, sare. The LORD MAYOR—I wish I could compel you. Defendant—Ah, sare, you are de just man ; you know de law (taking his discharge and clapping it into his pocket); it is good law, sare, vera good good law. The complainant, in language scarcely intelligible, re gretted his los s t o th e L or d ° Mayor, especially as the defendant had struck him a violent blow when he pressed his demand. The LORD MAYOR—IAsat! did he blacken your left eye in that manner with his fist ? Complainant— Oui, mi Lor, he did strike vera much ; he push his eye in my left fist, and it knock de fire out, and de black in. Defendant— Ah, because he talk big words. He come in my house, and he say, " kb , all! you pay me fourteen shillean vat you owe. The LORD Nl...You—And then you struck him ? Defendant (closing his fist and striking the tablo)— Den I push him in the left eye.—(Laughter.) The LORD Mal-mt.—Then you shall have the full measure of justice. Come if you don't immediately pay this poor man his fourteen shillings, and the expenses in curred, I shall fine you three times the amount for the blow.--(A general burst of laughter.) Defendant-I%ot you say, tare ?—(Pulling out his (lischarge)—l vont pay no fourteen shilleen. Look dere, dat is de law. The LORD MAYOR—I don't care a pin about that now. If you refuse to discharge this old bill of fourteen shillings, I shall positively fine you forty shillings and expenses, and if you won't pay the fine you shall warm your shins on the treadmill for a fortnight. Come, which will you have? Complainant_Mi lor, he can pay the fourteen shilleen, and he can warm his shin too.—(Laughter.) Defendant (with an altered countenance)—Vot is warm de shin on the treadmill ? Complainant—lt is yen you come up de step de step come down to you. The Lotto MAYOR—I shall decide immediately. What do you say ? Defendant—Vell, I sail talk vid my good friend Monsieur Levine. The LORD MAYOR—No, no ; which will you pay fourteen or forty shillings ? Defendant (with a very bog face)—Four shilleen'. veil, I viii pay it. The LORD MAYOR—If you do not pay fourteen this instant, you shall be fined forty. Defendant (pulling out his discharge)—Von't you let de law pay it ? The LORD MAYOR —No ; there is no law in that now. Defendant (throwing down a sovereign)—Vell, yell, sare, dere is de money. Give me de change. The LORD MAYOR—Let the poor man be paid his fourteen shillings, and four shillings for his expenses. Monsieur Albert, have you blacked the eyes of any more of your creditors? Defendant—No sare. I pay them yid de law. I pay no more vid black eyes. GUILD-HA L L. A boy, of the name of Perrin, eleven years of age, was charged with stealing from the premises of his mother a coat and waistcoat, of the value of 10s., the property of a man of the name of Nelson. The mother gave a lamentable history of the ex• ploits of the young transgressor, who had robbed her and other relations several times, and sometimes by breaking locks and using other violence. He had al ready been tried at the Old Bailey, but acquitted on account of the imbecile testimony of his aged grand father, who was prosecutor. He had been fostered by the Children's Friend Society, but he ran away, and his general conduct was so bad they would have no more to do with him, and she had made ineffectual attempts to get him into the Philanthropic. Another person said, young as the boy was, be herded with a set of juvenile thieves and prostitutes of tender age. He was at Union-hall only last week, charged with stealing a peck of apples. The owner of the coat s,rid that the coat and waist coat, worth 10s., had been sold to a marine-store shop. keeper, in Cow-cross -street, for twopence. He had seen the woman, who admitted that she bought the coat only, and sold it to a Jew for fourpence. The mother entreated the Alderman to send her son to Newgate for trial, as it would have the Effect of placing him in some place where he would be under re straint. He was committed accordingly, MARLBOROUGH -STREET. BURGLARY FRUSTRATED.—Thonzas Peake, alias " Flash Tons," Robert Brown, and John James, were charged by the police with having been found in an empty house in Oxendon-street, for a felonious purpose. Police Constable Deane found the door of the house No. 8, Oxendon-street, open, and upon ascertaining that some persons were inside, he procured assistance, and an entry was made through the window. Police Sergeant Gray went up stairs, and took Peake into cus tody, Police Sergeant WWI took James, and a police constable succeeded in capturing Brown, who had es caped into the area of an adjacent house. On searching the house, the police found dark lantern and other matters ; and from what they discovered, they were of opinion that a burglary had been contemplated in the neighbourhood. The house No. 8, Oxendon-street, street had been indicted as a house of ill-fame, and a con viction having ensued, the owner, Mrs. Davis, had left it unoccupied, without, h owever, taking away the fur ni articles ture.‘h were c found nthepro to property was exami ne d, a goo d many have been stolen. Th e police said they well knew Peake and James, but not Brown. The explanation given by the prisoners was, that they were all drunk ; and finding the door of the house open, they went in, but without any bad intention. The police said they were sober when brought to the station-house. Mr. LONG remanded all three till Thursday next. LAMBETH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION. —.0n Saturday, George Beer, alias Wilson, alias Thompson, alias Cum ming, alias Shephcard, who had been examined at this office on Thursday last, on a charge of making a false accusation of robbery against Mrs. Harriet Reid, the wife of respectable master mariner, was brought up .~ THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPrEMBER 7, Isl4o. from the New Prison, Cl.srken well, and again placed at he bar before Mr. Bingham, for further examination. It will be recollected that when the charge against Mrs. Reid was made at this office on the 19th of last month, that respectable female was remanded ; but sub sequently, on the horrors which she was likely to endure by her obstinacy in declaring her total innocence of the charge, (such as an incarceration of a fortnight while the prosecutor would be in the country, or a commit tal to Newgate, and the very probable chance of trans portation,) being pictured to her by an office: belonging to the court, she paid the thirteen sovereigns, which amount, it was alleged, she bad stolen from the prose cutor. The circumstances would have rested here, and Mrs. Reid would not only have lost her money but her character had not the circumstances gained pub licity, and the result had been the bringing to light some of the most scandalous and nefarious tricks pract'sed upon weak females. As on the previous occasion, Mr. Pelham, attended fur the prosecution, and Mr. Downes fur the prisoner. At the request of the latter gentleman Mrs. Reid was recalled, and in reply to his questions she said that, from the time of his makin g the charge against her at the Court until lie was taken into custody, she had no communication directly or indirectly with the prisoner. She also said it was not true that the prisoner had slept in her bed at her house in Bedford -street, nor did he ever sleep there at all. Previous to her going to live in Bedford-street she resided in Heath-street, and Langdale-street, Commercial -road. Mr. Downs—When you lived in Heath-street did you know a person named Andrew Anderson ? Mrs. Reid—Yes, unfortunately. Mr. Downs—What did you know about him ? Mrs. Reid—Nothing further than that he owes me 5/., which I unfortunately lent him. Mr. Downs—Did his wife ever come to your house, and find her husband and you in bed together ? Mrs. Reid (indignantly) —No. Did Mrs. Anderson ever come to your house to com plain of your harbouring her husband? Mrs. Reid— Certainly not. Mrs. Anderson, who is now dead, and myself were on the most friendly terms. Mr. Downs—. When you lived in Langdale-street, did you know two persons of the name of Edlim and Wm. Anderson ? Mrs. Reid—l did not. Mr. Downs—Did any persons of the names I have mentioned visit you for certain purposes at your house in Langdale-street? Mrs. Reid—Certainly not. Mr. Downs here said he had to apply to the Magis trate for a summons against those parties.; Mr. BINGHAM replied that such testimony would not be admissible. If the witness stated anything in the course of cross-examination that was not correct, he (Mr. Downs) would be at liberty to indict her for per jury, if he thought proper. Mr. Pelham applied to have the statement wade by the prisoner at this office when he charged Mrs. Reid. Mr. BINGHAM did not think that this was necessary. The witness, Mrs. Reid, had distinctly sworn that she had not robbed him or done anything of the sort, rind that ho thought was sufficient for the present inquiry. Besides, the Court was in possession of the facts. Miss Mary Ann Barton, a very good-looking young woman, was next called, and examined by Mr. Pelham. She stated that she was a single woman, and re sided at 13, Sydney-street, Commercial-road, and had known the prisoner about a year and a half by the name of George Thompson, and never knew him by any other name. She first met him in the Commercial-road, at about six o'clock in the evening, when he escorted her, and after some conversation he asked her for her address, which she gave him. He subsequently used to call upon her at her sister's, but nothing improper took place between them during his visits. The prisoner subsequently visited her at the house of Mrs. Reid. Mr. Pelrnan—Were his visits visits of courtship? Wit ness—Yes. Mr. Pelham—What did he describe himself as ? Witness—As a widower, and said he lodged in Bedford square. He never asked her, that she recollected, about the property of Mrs. Reid, nor had she seen him in Mrs. Reid's bed or bed-room. In her cross-examination she positively denied that there was any improper inti macy between her and the prisoner. It was nut usual with her to give her add ress t o any person s h e met w i th, but she h a d done so on the present occasion. In con versation she told the prisoner how her sister was situ ated, and he said he pitied her, and would call and see her ; and he did call about four or five days after. Since that time she had discovered that the prisoner was a married man, and had been married at the time he paid his addresses to her as a widower. Miss Ann Dye, the neice of M rc . R e id, state d t h at she had b een stan ding at the door with her aunt on the night of the 18th of last month, when the prisoner came up and got into conversation with Mrs. Reid ; while in the kitchen the prisoner took liberties with her by put ting his hand into her bosom, and she slapped his face and broke his pipe. The prisoner shortly after took his right shoe off, and said it was late, and he should stop there that night ; and on her aunt telling him that he could not, as she had no accommodation for him, he put his shoe on again, and almost immediately afterwards said he had lost his purse. Rs subsequently called the pollee, but at the same time wanted to get out, but she held him to prevent his doing so, and insisted upon his being searched also ; and in the struggle to keep him back she tore his coat. She did not observe her aunt sit on the knee of the prisoner, and was sure she did not do so except once, when she was pulled upon it by the prisoner himself: When she was returning with the last bottle of wine she saw the prisoner coining from the direction of his own residence, and go into Mrs. Reiti's house with her. This witness was cross-ex amined at some length, but nothing particular was elicited. Mrs. Ann Patterson, a widow lady, residing at No. 16, May's-pond, in the Borough, on being sworn, de posed that about four years ago she became acquainted with the prisoner, by his taking apartments at her then residence, in Tratalgar-square, Stepney. Mr. Pelham—Now, Mrs. Patterson, I wish to ask you if, before the prisoner took apartment; at your house, three persons in the garb of females did not call at your house to view your rooms? Witness—Yes. Mr. Pelham—Now, I wish to ask you if you noticed anything peculiar in the appearance and manner of those people, and whether, in point of fact, you did not suspect one of them to be a man in woman's attire ? Witness—Yes, I did. Mr. Pelham—Then state to the Magistrate whit that was. Witness—Why, one of them was very tall ; he had a handkerchief tied up over the chin, and when they were coming down stairs the other two said she was very near-sighted. This induced her (witness) at the turning on the stairs to put her hands round the waist of the tail figure, and then she discovered that it was a man, or, at least, she strongly suspected it to be so. The prisoner came to live at her house some time after. when he represented his name to be Wilson, and said he was a widower. Soon afterwards he professed a vio lent attachment to her, offered her marriage, and a day was subsequently appointed for the wedding, her wed ding dresses purchased, and cards with the name Mr. and Mrs. Wilson printed.—(Laughter.) While at her house the prisoner on one occasion dressed himself in her servant's gown and her bonnet, and his appear ance then bore so strong a resemblance to the figure she had before described as one of the party coming to look at the house, that she felt almost satisfied it was the same. The prisoner remained at her house about eight months, and during that time had borrowed from her 173/. in cash at different times, representing that it was to pay his men—that he could not at the time draw money from the bank—that he had a vessel at sea and houses in Devonshire, and down to the present moment she could not get a shilling from him. Mr. Pelham—You were induced to g;ve him this money from his having expressed his determination to marry you, and his having professed to have a ship at sea and houses in Devonshire ? Witness—Yes, Sir, certainly. Mr. Pelham—Then have you since found out that he was a married man at the time ? Witness—Yes. The witness further stated that the wife of the prisoner and the prisoner afterwards came to her house and so annoyed her that she left the neighbourhood. Mr. Downs—Now, Mrs. Patterson, is it true that you sent for the prisoner, by his own daughter,. while you were ill, to come to see you, and said that if he did not came y ou would die ? Mrs. Patterson—No, I did not ; but w hil e I was ill the prisoner came as far as my bed-roo m d oor to know what was the matter with me. Thomas Watkins, a b arman at the Crown and An_ chor, i n S torey - street, Stepney, said he recollected the day o n w hi c h M rs. Reid was b'ronght to this office, .nd on the night b e f ore he saw the prisoner at t h e h ouse of his master. lie had a glass of gin and water in the par lour, and p a id t h e lad for it and left about eleven o'clock. O n t h e following if he had n o t g i ven half-a-sovereign on t h e night before to the lad. morning he called an d asked No. 2, Lim e kil e -hi ll, Mrs. Mari a Harris, the wife of Robert H ar r i s , of known th e p r i soner at the bar about e l even or tw e lv e Limelouse, deposed to having years, during which time he went by the different names of Cummings, Vincent, Beer, and Thompson. He lodged at her house, a n d from time to time borrowed money from her, and owed her at the present time as much as 451. He once charged her with stea lin g mone y from him, o n a Sunday morning, when he got in a great passion, and said he had been robbed of seventeen shil lings. She denied the charge ; told him no person had been to his room ; sent for a policeman, and after he came, the prisoner fond the money ; the policeman was not present when he found it ; this occurrence took place about eight years ago. Io her cr oss-examination, the witness admitted that, since this occurrence, both she and her husband had given the prisoner money, but it was in the hope of being able to get what he owed them. At this stage of the proceedings, Mr. Downs, on be half of the prisoner, addressed the Magistrate at some length. He complained of the case being reported in the public papers until it had been concluded ; and said that its publication had prevented a respectable person, who had long known the prisoner, from bailing him. Mr. BiNnitAm replied, that he had no control in the matter. He then desired the officer Shelwell, who had been mixed up in the affair, and whose conduct had Shelwell, in answer to the prisoner's attorney, said he had no conversation with die prisoner between the time Mrs. Reid was remanded and her discharge. Richard Maroay, police constable, H 167, deposed to having apprehended the prisoner in Sydney-street, Commercial-road. He told him at the time that he wanted him on a charge of felony, in extorting money from a lady. He said he had not done so, and ob served, " Pray let me go, and do not collar me like a thief, I'm a respectable gentleman." He (witness) told him he cared not who or what he was ; that he must come with him to the station-house, where a charge would be made. On the way to the station-house he said, " It is keeping b i d com p any th at h as b rought me to this." Mr. Downs here made some femarks on the evidence; and said, that after Mrs. Reid had been remanded, the prisoner proceeded to his family in Kent, understand ing that she was to have been brought up on the fol lowing .day, and on attending on the following day was surprised to find her discharged. With respect to the ) prisoner assuming different names, he would admit that it was done for an immoral purpose, and he was not there to defend his morality. Mr. Pelham applied to have the prisoner remanded to another day, while Mr. Downs urged that there was no ground for the Magistrate doing so, as his defence would prove. Mr. IliNnniNr observed that sufficient had been proved before him to render it imperative on him to send the case before a jury. The prisoner was accordingly committed to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court. UNION-HALL. James Reynolds, lately out of his apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner, applied for advice, stating that he answered an advertisement which was in the Morning Advertiser on the 14th July, addressed to jobbing cabi net-makers, and describing that a young married nsan, who was a good workman, was wanted that from 235. to 30s. per week would be given, and that the person en gaged would be required to live on the premises and fur nish a room for the advertiser. Applicant called at the ad dress, Rectory-green, Clapham, and was engaged by a man named Mills. In accordance with the agreement, the applicant removed his furniture into the house, and it was shortly afterwards seized upon for rent ; he had never had any work or received any wages ; he added that he had ascertained there were three or four per sons engaged in the trick. He begged to be informed whether Cie could obtain any satisfaction from the par ties, and was also desirous that the circumstance should obtain publicity, as a caution to others. The MAGISTRATE told him he had not used sufficient caution himself, but as he had received no wages, he might bring an action against the parties. The poor fellow said he could not afford to enter an action, and, if he could, most likely the parties were worth nothing. A respectably-dressed woman applied for advice, stating that in May last she entered into an agreement with the lessee of the Victoria Theatre to take what was called the " front of the house," namely, the saloon, &c., with the privilege of supplying the audience with refreshments ; she agreed to give one hundred pounds for the permission, and so much a month afterwards ; she paid down the above sum, and kept up her other payments. On Friday she went to the theatre to make arrangements in her department for the opening, which was to take place next week, and was told that another person had got the appointment ; she had the keys in her possession, and refused to give them up unless the 1001. was returned, but the lessee said that was out of the question, because her interest had ceased on the closing of the theatre ; lie added, that if sho retained the keys, the doors would be forced, and whatever be longed to her would be placed outside. She wished to know if the lessee would be justified in bursting open the doors where her property was, as she still had the keys, unless he returned the money. The applicant was referred to a lawyer.

There are near l y ten thousand organ s in n the human body, and each of them has a multitude of parts, which arc themselves divisible, until we arrive at atoms subject to molecular affinities. Then setting out from this point, ascending from harmonies to harmonies, from one organic sphere to another, we arrive at the ensemble, the whole, the sensitive and moral unity, the I. This is man. But of what does this vital and plastic force consist ? What is the hidden bond, the primordial element, which generates this surprising variety of actions ? The unknown quantity in this problem has not been discovered. All the parts of the body have life, but not a life, and yet they converge towards this unity, with an admirable concord; every faculty terminates and loses itself in the abstract and hyper-organic faculty of personality. By what means does nature effect this great phenomenon ? The triple scale of ignorance still covers our feeble eyes. What pro blems to resolve! What veils to lift !

Shclwell then made the following statement :—After the examination I went out of the office with Mrs. Reid, her daughter, and niece, and instead of taking her into the et-11 at that time, she went into the lobby with her daughter and niece, where she sat far about ten minutes. While there she asked me what I thought would become of her. I said, as this man gives his evidence so straightforward, I think you will be remanded. Cook, the gaoler, tl; em came in, and I said to him, this party is remanded, the other two are discharged, and he then locked Mrs. Reid up. After she was locked up I went into the cell, understanding from some one, I can not now say from whom, that the prisoner would not proceed further if he got his money, and she asked me, in God's name, what she should do. She said that her husband was a respectable man, and when he came home lie would turn his back upon her. I said, if you have the purse of this man, name it to me in confidence, and I will go to your house, and get it. She strongly denied that she had it. She again asked me what would be the consequence of these proceedings. I said if this man perseveres in his evidence you will be committed, and if con victed, you will be liable to transportation. She says I have some money, but I have no means of getting it while lam in this cell. 1 said, Ido not know whe ther you had the money or not, but, as your friend, I will say, that if I were in your situation, I would re turn the money, if you have it. She said she had not got it. I then asked her whether she would send her niece to accompany me to her house to bring a receipt, which she said she had, in ordet to get money from the bank. She then sent her niece with me, and, on going to the house, I found the receipt in the place she represented, and brought it to her. I then went with Mrs. Reid to the London and Westminster Bank, when she drew 1.5/. She then came back with me, and in the lobby of the office she handed me 13 sove reigns. I then mentioned that the 13 sovereigns had been paid to me, and Mrs. Reid was again brought up at five o'clock, when nobody appearing against her, she was discharged. After that I went with her to a public house opposite, when we had some half-and-half, where she seemed very thankful for obtaining her liberty. She asked me how she could replace the 15/. stock, so that her husband might not have been aware of the transac tion. I said that if she had two respectable house keepers to become securities for her, she might get 151. from a Loan Society by paying six shillings a-week. She then asked me whether, if her husband should come before she could replace the 15/., I would say that her house had been robbed, and that I had been sent there to discover the robber. She said to me afterwards, how am I to satisfy you, I cannot afford much. I said I would leave that to her own gene rosity. She gave me altogether fifteen shillings. That is a true statement of the facts. I made no demand on her for money. Mr. BireoHaist.--.The statement made by the officer is consistent in substance with that made by Mrs. Reid, with this material distinction, that it appears that the advice given by the officer was in answer to Mrs. Reid, and not volunteered on his part. I think this difference so great, that it absolves him from the blame of doing anything intentionally wrong. It is natural that a person not highly instructed, after hearing the statement sworn to by the prisoner, should have apprehended painful consequences to Mrs. Reid,and have offered his recommendations accordingly. It It would, however, be of the worst consequences to police -courts if their officers were allowed to give such recommendations ; and this should be a warning to all officers in this Court never hereafter to give such advice. In the present instance, I have no doubt that the advice was given sincerely, but it might be given for the worst of purposes, and in order to extort money. The facts of the case were these .—Mrs. Reid had been remanded until five o'clock in order that her house might be searched, and at five o'clock no prosecutor appearing, she was discharged. No other course could have been taken. It is a matter of great regret that these conversations with the officer oc curred, and I close these observations by warning all officers of this Court never again to give any advice under such circumstances. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Ilainpshire Independent.) PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. s.—The Queen, 110, has been masted and painted, but no orders have been received ' for commissioning. She and the Warspite still remain in the basin, the latter having her internal fittings completed. The Britannia still remains in the harbour, and not withstanding the great activity which the London papers state to be observable in our sea-ports, every thing here is as dull and quiet as the most ardent lover of peace could well desire. There is not a seaman to be got, and the " bringing Jorward" of ships for com missioning is, therefore, a perfect farce. The Britannia will no doubt go to Spithead as a " demonstration," but as for her going to sea, it is out of the question, she not being half manned. The Cygnet brig, Lieut. Wilson, is hourly expected from the eastward, on her way to the Cape of Good Hope and the coast of Africa. The Shear water steamer, Lieut.

On Thursday night, a young girl of rather pre possessing appearance, named Ann Walker, 15 years of age, was received into St. Bartholomew's Hospital, having sustained some severe injuries in her feet, legs, and back, jumping from the first floor back window of her mis tress's residence, under the following somewhat singular but cruel and disgraceful circumstances :_From the poor girl's statement (which has, to a great degree, been corro borated by that of others) it appears that her mistress keeps a shop in Brick-lane, Old-street, St. Luke's. On Wed nesday night her mistress missed a pair of shoes belong ing to one of the children, and the following morning about eight o' c l oc k, w hil st s h e was i n the above room, her mistress came up stairs to her, and accused her of stealing thein, which she, however, strongly denied, 11cr tnistrea then, having locked her in the room, said that she would keep her there without food until she ac knowledged the theft; and although she had begged hard repeatedly curing the day for a drop of water, it had been refused her, and she was actually kept without food of any description the whole of the day ; and about eight o'clock in the evening her mistress came up to her, and said, " You will catch it when your master comes home." She (the mistress) then opened the window which she pointed to, saying, " You may do as you please, but you shan't come down stairs." Finding both hunger and thirst assail her, and fearing the consequences thereof, she jumped from the window into the yard below, where she was picked up in a state of insensibility, and conveyed to tho above hospital, where she lies in a very precarious state.-- Morning Herald.
