Some weeks since, on Thursday the 13th ult., it was our pleasing duty for ourselves and on the part of the community, to tender our best thanks to the Earl of CLARENDON for the prompt and efficient means adopted to meet the national wishes, by supplying immediate information on the interesting and all-important events in India. The despatch containing the telegraphic intelli gence was only received at 5.26 p.m., and within a few minutes copies were transmitted to our own and other offices. There was perfect impartiality. Every journal that could render the news available received it, without a moment's unnecessary delay. Its consequence of its receipt at that time we were enabled not only to circulate it throughout the metropolis before seven o'clock the same evening, but to forward it by post to our country sub ecribers in every district throughout the length and breadth of the land. The vary natural anxiety wag thus allayed in the best possible manner, and the Foreign-office earned for itself g ild ° l - 1 opinions from all classes. 13ut such deferenc e to public opinion was al to gether opposed to the dictates of red-tapism. The "Pet3r Dicks" of the national " ateliers" could not be expected to display such unwonted energy on many OCcasions. It was so very remarkable that than k should b e ten dered for extraordinary promptitude, SO wholly e mtrary to every established precedent, that it was essential to make a total alteration i n the practice. Accordingly, we have just b eet favoured with a communication from the Foreign. office, intimating the new regtaatione that have been, adopted. It is couched in very cour teous terms, but the purport of it is t'iat the " Times" will henceforward be the favoured Organ, and that every other journal must wait until it suits the convenience of the Leviathan to communicate the anxiously looked for tidings. Vie letter of the Chief Clerk is as follows : " Mr. Hammond presents his compliments t > the editor of The Sun, and is directed by the Earl of Claren don to acquaint him that an arrangement has been made . vrM the Times newspaper, according to which copies of telegrams containing intelligence from India, which may he received at the Foreign-office will, as soon as possible, be forwarded to the office of the Tidies, from which office cop'.es will be supplied to The" Sun. " This arrangement has been made in eonsequence o f THE r r v SA r r D A y EVmNi irmi the uncertainty as to the time at which such telegrams I reach the Foreign-office, and the impossibility, when 1 they arrive either in the night or out of office hours, of immediately making so many copies of them as would be required for supplying the information separately to the papers and telegraph offices ; and the consequent probability that the papers and the public might be dis appointed in obtaining early communication of intelli gence from India received by her Majesty's Govern. ment. "But, simultaneously with sending the manuscript to the Times Office notice of the arrival of the telegram will be sent to The Sun. "Foreign-office, Sept. 4, 1857." A similar arrangement was formerly adopted for a brief period, and it elicited such an all but unanimous expression of disapprobation from journals of all shades and varieties of poli tical opinions, that it was forthwith abandoned by the Government. As might easily be expected, the Times did not by any means hurry itself. The despatch remained until a new edition was ready for publication, and the pro mised copies were not transmitted to other journals until the Sunday newsvendors' boys were howling at the top of their respective voices—" third edition of the Times—new and important despatches from the Crime►." The Jupiter Tonans of Printing-house Square was, of course, contented. It would under take the Government on a pinch, and be prepared to assume functions as multifarious as even Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself, according to the estimate of the late SYDNEY SMITH. But the question is, whether the community at large - will be contented with such a monopoly? Whether it will not earnestly protest against a system which, without any adequate cause, may delay the publication of the most vitally important accounts in many districts for some 12 or even 24 hours. It is quite obvious that if the system announced by the foregoing letter had been in operation on the 12th August, there would have been very great and unneces sary delay. The Times never publishes an edition at so late an hour as 5.30 p.m. ; and even if it did it would not be heard of in the country. Our subscribers know that they may rely on obtaining the latest news up to the post hour, and they seek nothing else. The Sun was received by the morning de livery in almost every part of England, and at many railway stations, the same evening, where the Times, or any other morning journal, could not be seen for many hours subsequently. It is the new rule, then, that may "occasion public dis appointment in obtaining early communication of intelligence from India received by her MAJESTY'S Government." The pretexts resorted to are so palpably nnten- able that it scarcely requires argument to ex- pose their absurdity. The impossibility of making so many copies as would be required for supplying the information separately to the papers and telegraphic offices is hinted at. Why, what can be the meaning of this twaddle. Has Lord CLARENDON, or any of his subordinates, ever heard of " the Copying Machine ?" Can he or they have any con ception of the time required to multiply the copies? Is "flimsy" utterly unknown in Downing-street ? If so, they must be even behind the Admiralty itself, for we have received many communications in that mode from the naval department. The attendance of many " Peter Dicks," would not, therefore, be re quired. All that could be required would, with proper material, be prepared in less than one minute from the time that the original docain ent for Printing-house Square was completed. Now, we may remind our readers that in going to the Times office, the messenger who is " to give notice of the arrival of the telegram," must pass the offices of The Sint, th 0 Globe, the Morning Post, the Morning Herald, the Morning Chronicle, the Daily News, the Morning Advertiser, the Stand- ard, and several others. It would occasion a considerable loss of time for each of these journals to send special messengers to Printing house-square, and to wait until the delivery of the promised copy ; and if they do not do so they will have to wait long enough, particularly at the critical hour when the mail is making up. Besides a very important class of our contemporaries, the Sunday journalg, will ba altogether excluded. If the news should arrive at a late hour on Saturday, their readers will hear nothing of it until the following week. Now it is but justice to say that that they are entitled to more courteous treatment, not only on account of the overwhelming number of their readers, and the magnitude of their cir culation, but from the excellence of their manage ment, and the soundness of the principles which, generally speaking, they advocate. We respect our weekly contemporaries, and would not calmly witness so great a slight on them, and the millions for whom they are so peculiarly adapted. We trust, then, that they in common with the daily press will take up the case and con demn the new rule, nominally adopted for the purpose of saving trouble to the _clerks of the Foreign-office, but really for the purpose of afford ing a monopoly to thelTimes, We unhesitatingly repeat that the public despatches are the pro perty of the nation, and that they should be given to all who can make them available without fear, favour, or affection. The only interest that should be looked to is that of the people, and the Minister that acts differently is unworthy of his high position. The promised Reform Bill of 1858 has a pros ' pect, we fear, of being shelved by our Asiatic difficulties. There is a possibility, if not a pro bability, of thislindy that ought to be looked at boldly, and talked of plainly, and examined into scrutinisingly. And all this—betimes. Other wise we shall most certainly run a very great risk of finding another session of the new Reform Parliament frittered away without yielding us any material advantages in the way of internal im provement. Recollect what is actually the case i n regard to the session just completed—,that the one "precious boon" of that session is the Divorce Bill 1 An enactment that may be described as constituting, to all intents and purposes, the be ginning, the middle, and the end (for this 20. h 21st of VICTORIA) of our grand legislative achieve ments. After which we are naturally enough fain to ask, What nex, and next ? according t) the phrase of the poor snuffed-out and extinguished ex-member for Haddonfield. Another matrimo nial cautery cannot possibly - , during two years in succession, absorb the attention of the nuu!titude —and satisfy it—somewhat upon the old prin ciple, literally driven to death, by ST. JOIIN LONG, that of counter-irritation. Once in a way the 4 P t erri may prove successful, as it has done vtitY recently in both Houses of Parliament. But "Hansard" requires more variety in its themes, a more wholesome administration of Dings with S iyings, than ca n b e anywhere found iu the re cord of the last quarter ' s discussions within the walls of the Legislature. However much, therefo re , a Mi n; -I —or, ....LIMERSTON m ay calculate upon the distractinc, influence of the Wars in Asia as affordi him the chanc3 of another delightful opportunity f ur a fresh Put Off for that obnoxious Necessity (sooner or later) called a Reform Bill—we do not think so meanly of the present House of Com monsas to imagine for an instant that the majo rity of it will consent without a murmur, or rather at the very least without some show of restiveness, to the prospect of a second tricky evasion ! Even a new divorce measure won't do in the way of compensation. If we can't hope this time to get " The Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill"—at any rate we mnst try and get a bit of it. We must make a dash for it, at last, even at the hazard of finding we have snatched at the shadow rather than at the substance. Warlike difficulties have been too long accepted as constituting sufficient excuse for our adminis trators refraining from even an attempt at inter nal legislative improvement. We must waken at last from this frivolous subjection to a sophis try so manifestly illogical. It is simply prepos terous to argue that because we are at war, there fore we must forego for a while (as long, indeed, as that war may chance to continue), even the hope of our social, political, or commercial ad vancement. This is really tantamount to saying that the war department embraces within it all the other departments of our administration ; and that beca . use the energies of our military authori ties at the Horse Guards and at the Ordnance were, in a manner, absorbed a year or two ago in the events then transpiring in the Crimea, a tem porary paralysis necessarily fell at the same time upon the Home Secretary and the Colonial Secre tary, and all the other members of our motley system, not immediately or directly implicated in the struggle then going on before the walls of Sebastopol. It is the simplest mockery ima ginable this evasion of duty upon the plea of preoccupation. The preoccupation being all the while departmental ! The duty being at the same moment at once imperative and in alienable. There is no doubt whatever, of course, that we have a tolerably clear prospect of baying a great deal to do in 1858 at the opposite extremity of the eastern hemisphere—in consequence of all our Asiatic complications. Not a doubt of it. We take the truth of this to be universally ad mitted. There is Persia scarcely brought under submission. There is India requiring to be dealt with rigorously and energetically. There is China, which will have to be reasoned with by the logic of bayonet and. cannon-ball immediately after wards. Enough and to spare, certainly, for one year in the way of warlike collisions—even sup posing the lapse of time in the interim brings about no supplementary complications elsewhere. Yet—while acknowledging all this at once, and as a matter of course—we do assuredly conceive, at the same time, that the manifestation of military and maritime energy need not be regarded as incompatible with the evidence of a no less deter mined resolution in other departments of the Go vernment. For example, Sir B. HALL has accus tomed us to look for such a continuous dis play of vigour in his department that we count upon the office of Public Works yielding us in 1858 no appreciable disappointment—the In dian and Chinese wars to the contrary notwith standing ! As with that department, so with the others. As with Public Works, so with Reform. The country has the right to look, even at these crises, for no such wholesale disappointments. Reformers, therefore, we maintain, should be on the alert—lest, again, upon a most irrelevant and inadequate plea, they should be deprived of an ther entire session. It behoves them to be pre pared by anticipation, otherwise they will inevi• tably, when too late, find slipping from their grasp—eel-like or sand-like—another golden opportunity. " Nothing venture, nothing have" —it is a trite proverb, of course, but the truest proverbs are often the tritest ; and remember, Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S admirable definition of what a proverb is—" The wisdom of many and the wit of one !" To enjoy the hope of even a modicum of reform, let us, at least, try to obtain it. Rather than content ourselves with sitting down quietly for another while, cross-legged and with arms folded, let us, at any rate, be up and doing ! While our gallant fellows are fighting the good fight in Asia, let us at home here bo fighting the good fight too, for them and for our selves. LATEST NE WS; PARIS, SEPT. 5. The King of Wurtemberg has quitted Biarritz to return to his capital. It now appears certain that the Emperor and Empress of the French have resolved to return the King's visit, and that their Imperial Majes ties are expected at Stuttgardt on the 25th of this month. From that place the Emperor of Russia will have gone to Baden to rejoin the Empress Maria. Both will remain at Baden from the 20th to the 24th, and arrive at Stuttgardt on the latter day, where they will stay till the 28th. It may, therefore, be looked upon as positive that the interview between the two Emperors will take place at Stuttgardt. The most perfect understanding exists between the French and English Governments on the sub ject of China. If the Court of Pekin does not give immediate satisfaction to Lord Elgin, war against the Celestial Empire will be declared simultaneously by the two Governments.. Intelligence has been received from:Constanti nople to the 29th ult. The Sultan was about to send an envoy to Spain to consolidate his - relations with that power. Nothing new had taken place concerning the principalities. From Palestine the intelligence was not satisfactory, as disorder was increasing. At Jerusalem, the Latin Patriarch was so menaced that he bad tendered his resigna tion. The consul of France had interfered. Throughout Syria nothing was hoards but threat s against the Christians."

DELHI AND THE EAST INDIA. HOUSE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. notice that yourself and the Times are advocating the utter annihilation of the city of Delhi, that it may be as Sodom and like unto Gomorrah. By all means, Mr. Editor, let there not be left one stone upon another. But on this work intent, forget not that another " time honoured" place should be levelled at the same time. Let the India House, with its Court of Direciors, its Vernon Smiths, its Charley Woods, Hobhouses, and all its and their incapacities, mis managements, infamies, partialities, ignorance, and routine be as utterly annihilated. Let them all go down alive into the same pit, and let not our chil dren be able to point out where either Delhi or the India House once existed.—Your obedient servant, GRAVES. Hull, Sept. 4.

The Moniteur publishes the order of the day of the Emperor addressed to the troops on his arlival at tue camp, and which we have already given ; it adds a letter dated the 3d, from the camp, which says : " The Emperor personally superintends and ex arnin,s into all the details for the quartering of the troops, and everything that can tend to secure the comfort and health of his soldiers, so that the camp, which is unexampled both as regards its extent and its conditions of salubrity, cannot fail to be attended with the bast results. The diffdrent arrangements are so far advanced that in a few days the grand manoeuvres, commanded by the Emperor in person, will commence. Yesterday began the manoeuvres by regiment. The Emperor is constantly riding about the camp, express orders having been given not to take any notice of his. presence. He is generally accompanied by two or three officers in undress, and he sometimes stops half-an-hour before a regiment to observe its operations. The Debetts depicts the situation of the English at Hong Kong, and after dwelling on the treacherous character the Chinese in general, proo.3eds t consider what effect the present state of hostilities ought to have eventually on the relations of France with the Chinese empire. It says : " The present relaxation in the English operations in China must necessarily have some influence on those which France appeared to have proposed to her: elf tsi carry on in these parts. Will the inconsiderable forces which we have sent there, and which were intended to support onr just demand, wait for the termination of this forced inaction on the part of the English, or if they act alone, are they strong enough to dispense with a co-operation which appeared to be secured to them ? Since we have done so much as to go to China, it would be perhaps desirable that we should by ourselves, and independently of any foreign action, there acquire an influence advantageous to our commerce and to the ulterior views whic's we might entertain with respect to that part of the Eastern world. It is the only one which Europeans have not yet seriously entered into, and which in its present state of internal disorgan isation is open to the action of a great maritime power. The English, who had perceived that such was the case and had hastened to profit by it, haVe for some time past been turned away from their projects by the events in India. But this is not a reason why we should slacken our particular action, and is perhaps rather a reason for ha•ttning it." The money market article of the Pays contains the following flittering tribute to the capitalists of England :-- "The firinne s of Consols at a moment when Englsnd is engaged in a gigantic struggle with India cannot be vie wed without admiration. It proves on the part of English speculators a patriotic and unlimited confidence in the strength and extent of the resources of their coun• try. We are forced to acknowledge that they offer us an example which we Tight to have followed in far less serious circu me.tsn s.'

The t iwn of Ghent remained undis turbed by any popular movement on that occasion, owing to the energAic measures adopted by General Capiaum( nk, who was in command of the garrison. The communal council of the town, however, far from lyiiing grat , :ful f r the assistance afforded by the general, considered it its duty to examine whether the co-operation of the army in the days of the 30th and 31st May was not Hie gal, and resolved the q uestion in the affirmative, declaring that, as the intervention of the army had not been called for by the civil authorities, the conduct of the troops was contrary to law. On a report against that decision being presented to the King by the Minister of the Inierior, a royal ordi nance has just bean published in the Belgian ltioni tcur, annulling the deliberation of the communal council of Gher.t as having been founded on error, and on a total misapprehension of the state of the law on the subject.

ARRIVAL 01 TRW RIPON WITH PASSENGERS FROM INDIA. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ripon, Capt. Duudas, (Admiralty agent, Lieut. Sea ward, R.N.) - arrived at Southampton yesterday, with the heavy portion of the India, Chine, and Australian mails. Her dates were Alexandria, Aug. 21 ; Malta, 25, and Gibraltar the 30th. She brought 157 passengers. Amongt her cargo- were 2,308 bales of silk. She spoke the troop ship Syria, Sept. 2, all well on board. She passed the Colombo on the 27th ult., and the Tagus on the 31st ult. Lord Lyons' squadron left Gibraltar for Thnis on the 29th ult. The Ripon's mails were contained in about 600 boxes and bags, and were de by special train of eight vans and carriages to Lon don at noon yesterday. Among the passengers in the Ripon was a young lady, named Stallard, who • escaped the massacre at Meerut.,. In escaping she had to swim over a river. At one time she was in a carriage in which there were six persons, of whom .only she and two of her companions saved their lives; the rest were miirdered, Tha Rev. Mr. Hay, an American missionary, and hit wife and family, were passengers in the Ripon, and they also narrowly escaped with their Jives from Meerut. They, lost all their property and clothes. One of the passengers of the Ripon was a civilian, who left Delhi just before the mutiny broke out there. In travelling down to Calcutta be saw unmistakeable signs of the mutiny. He met a lady travelling by dak to Delhi, and he and his party persuaded her to turn back, as the country appeared to be dangerous. She turned back with them to Cawnpore, but there she was persuaded by others to resume her journey. An Indian colonel, who came home in the Rip.an, had a whole company of European soldiers,'consisting of nearly a hundred persons, cut to pieces by mutineers. The'Calcutta passengers on board the Ripon believe that Delhi must Boon fall ; the mutineers are in want of ammunition, cholera is raging amongst them, and when they make sallies they are slaughtered in great numbers by the be siegers. It is believed that when Delhi has fallen the mutiny will spread still further over the country, by great numbers of the mutineers escap ing to various parts of India. The Ripon's passengers confirm all the reports about the atrocities committed. Infants and chil dren were literally, fur sport, thrown into the air and caught on the swords and bayonets of the Sepoys. Whole European families—husband, wife, and children—have been exterminated in India by the native soldiers. The Ripon spoke the following. vessels during the voyafre :—The English screw steamer Brenda, off and for Malta ; the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship C 101nbo, 110 m , les west of Galita, for Malta; the D utch screw steamer Trieste, off' Alglers, steering east ; the Englizh brig Gem of the Sea, off Cape de 4atte, bound ~vest ; the English screw steamer Vasco de Gama, off Cape de GaVe, steering to the eastward ; the English screw steamer Orontes, off St. Vincent, steering south ; .the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Tagus, off and. for Liston ; the troopship .Hersilb, 100 miles north-east of Cape Finisterre, six days out, bound to Madras, a'l well on board ; the schooner Conquest, 170 miles north-cast of Cape Finisterre, steering t) the sou'h-west ; the screw steamer Saxon, on the 3d inst., off 11. , haut, steer ing up Channel. THE AFFAIR OF LERRU ROLLIN AND MAZZINI. At the sitting of the Court of Aasizea on Thurs day, the pnblic pfosecutor called on the court to pass sentence on Ledru Rollin, Mazzini, Massarenti, ' and Campanella, who are accused of having, in com ' plicity with Tibaldi, Grilli, and Bartollotti, already condemned, formed' a plot to assassinate the Em peror of the French, but who have not surrendered to take their trial. The indictment and other do cuments having been read, the court, after deli beration, gave a judgment to this effect :—lt ap peared from the examination before a magistrate, from documents produced, especially from letters of Mazzini, Masearenti, and Tibaldi, and from the disclosures of Bartolotti and Grilli, that in the course of the year 1857 Bartolotti and Grilli having been recruited at London and York by Massarenti, an agent of Mazz . ni, were taken to the latter,' " who sent th©m to Paris to make an attempt on the life of the Emperor," addressing them to Ti baldi, his agent in Patin, who was charged to di rect them and to remit to them the necessary instru ments- from those which had been deposited with him, and which consisted_ of sixteen pistols, loaded and primed, and of seven poignards. It appeared that Ledru-Rollin, who in 1853 had caused 50t)f. to be given to a man named Kearsch, who admitted having formed at that time the project of at tempting to kill the Emperor, was present at Mazzini's when Bartolotti for the first time wtts ,taken there ; he took part in the diecusion which ensued as to the time at which the Emperor was accustomed to go out ; his presence at a conference essentially secret revealed the motive which took him there, and, his participation in the plot ; and stly, he supplied Bartolotti and Grilli with fends for their journey from London to Paris. It ap peared that Bartolotti and Grilli left for Paris with passports in false names, and on their arriv a l went to Tibaldi, to whom they made themselves known by a password agreed on ; ar.cl that that person took them to places at which they could approach the Emperor, and gave to Grilli two of the poignards deposited with Lim. Massarenti had brought Bartolotti up from York. and had menaced him with the aaecr of Mazzini for having left his post. Tibaldi, in a letter to Mazzini, had given an account of the measures taken by him with respect to Bartolotti and Grilli, terminating his letter w:th these significa,rit.wo • ds:--" Our sick Min (meaning the Emperor) is no better he cmnes from time to Vine. I believe that, from this, it will be diffreult to cure him, but we shall neeleet nothing to attain the desired object:" In order the better to secure the execu t ion of hi s homicidal project,Mazzini adhered to the proposition madetoht m by MassArenti to send two other indiv:duals to Pails with the same object as Bartolotti and•Grilli ; on that occasion he *rote from Genoa, on the Mh.Jati leo y, to Campa nella, at London, to come to an unders'anding with Massarenti on the afftir at Paris, which was more • than ever urgent and desirable, and for which two persons had already been sent to Paris=-*--announeing to him that two others proposed themselves, and in sist:ng that the four me n should act two by two, inde pendently of each other ; adding that that was the best` lan to folio w, and recommending that the two new men should be sent to Tibaldi, who was in pos session of the materiel,"; at the same epoch he gave similar instructionste Massaren i, adding that if the friend bad left (the E•nperot, Who'a: that time was at Fontainebleau, was so designated), "nothing cool l be done," and that hi s return from the coun try must be waited for ; and, 1144, Mazzini joined to the lett -r a few words of recommenda tion to Tibaldi, to the effect that he should receive the two new men as 'he had received the two others, and should treat them also without re serve, again termina'ing by the 1'03(1m-reed ttion that they " should alt independently of each other, as that was the best for all." From all these cir cainstance.s," the Court declare I thee, "a 1 esolutiou l e nd been t-tgr eat.' on and concerted between Mazzini, Ledru-Rollin, Campanella, Massarenti, Tit ald~, Bartolotti, and Grilli, to attempt to kill the Em peror—which resolution h d been followed by an aet cdcula'ed to prep . are its exe 311 ! ion—whereby the erim r of forming a plot (crime de, complot), punished by Art. 89 of the Pen d Code, had been committed." It therefore condemned Mazzini, Ledru-Rol!in, Campanella, and Massarenti, all four absent, to deportation.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) MANSION-HOUSE. A POLICEMAN AT FAULT.—PoIice -constable 101 M, Metropolitan Force, was summoned by Henry Ivy, a cabman, for refusing to pay him his lawful fare. Complainant deposed that on Monday week defendant called him off the rank in Adelaide-place, King William street, to take up two ladies and two children from the steps nearly opposite. Complainant accordingly drove to the steps, when defendant asked him his fare, and he told him is. 6d —is. for distance, and 6d, for the two children whereupon the defendant insisted that he bad no right to charge for children in arms, and told one of the ladies who had entered the cab to get out again and he would get her another. The lady did so, and complainant then demanded 6d. kr being taken off the rank, which defendant refused to pay, at the same time threatening to summon complainant for refusing to take a fare. Defendant averred that complainant agreed to carry for ls. before leaving the rank, bat upon arriving at the steps demanded is. 6:i., which defendant refused to give, conceiving it to be an imposition, as both the children were babies in arms. The cabman steadily maintained that no bargain was made before be left the rank; and, as neither party had witnesses, The Lord Mayor decided in favour of the cabman, and ordered defendant to pay the expense for calling, com plainant off the rank, and 3s. costs.

A CANDID THIRF.—A wretched-looking youth named Smith was placed at the bar charged with picking the pocket of a gentleman in the City of a pocket handker chief. The facts of the case were plain and of the usual. character, but the defence was rather a novel one. The prisoner said he had lately been following a honest life, but on this occasion the gentleman's handkerchief hung so temptingly from his pocket that he could not withstand the temptation, and he accordingly appropriated it. (Laughter.) He pleaded guilty that the alderman might deal summarily with him. Mr. Alderman Rose—How many times have you been convicted ? Prisoner--Only twice. Mr. Alderman Rose—What was your last sentence I Prisoner—Two months. Mr. Alderman Hale then sentenced him to e months' imprisonment with hard labour. MARLBOROUG a -STREET. CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—EIIen M'Oartine, John Wynn, Michael Leonard, Dennis Healy, Wm. Hunt, and John Kent, were brought before Mr. Beadoo, charged w ith violently assaulting Mary Ann D;oks, and John Abra ham., an attorney's clerk. Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, prosecuted ; and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, defended the prisoners. Mr. Lewis, in opening the case, stated that his client, Mrs. Dicks, occupied the premises N 0.22, Panton-street, where ehe carried on the business of a tobacconist. The prisoner M'Cartine was the landlady of that house, and Mrs;Dicks paid her 8/. a week rent, which was regularly and up to the present time not a single farthing was due. On Friday night, about eight o'clock, the woman M'Cartine, accompanied by the prisoner Wynn, entered her house and demanded a fortnight's rent. His client told them there was no rent due, when the two above-named prisoners 'called in the other pri' soners, and they then com.nenced a series of atrocities which were only excelled by those recently committed in India. Mrs. Dicks, to escape their violence, ran up stairs, followed by the whole of the prisoners, who seized hold of her, and attempted to throw her over the balustrade, and no doubt they would have sue' ceeded, had not the police made their appearance, and took them into custody. Ile (kir. Lewis) would n oW call Mrs. Dicks to corroborate his statement, and then request that the case might be sent to the sessions. Airs. Dicks, on being sworn, deposed that she had occupied the house No. 22, Panton-street, for some months, under an agreement to •pay 8/. a week. The prisoner McOertine was her landlady. On the previous evening about h'oclock, the prisoner MeCartine, accom panied by the man Wynn, entered her house, and, lean ing over the counter, demanded a fortnight's rent. She told them there was no rent due. They then called in toe four ocher prisoners, and two men not in custody, and proceeded to turn her out, and take foicihle pos session. Mr. Abrahams was there on business, and they took hold of him and tried to throw him into the street. She then rushed upstairs, and all the prisoners followed her, and threatened to throw her over the balustrade. She begged of them not to do so, when Wynn said to them—" You are paid to do your duty, and you must do it." She was then seized by the hair of her head, and they pulled her down stairs; she screamed out, and the police broke open the door and rescued her from the clutches of the prisoner?. She had no notice to quit, and had paid her rent 11 1 . advance. Sergeant Oliver, 294 A, stated that about half-past, eight last night the prisoner Wynn ca me t o him and said he should want his assistance as he was going to distrain for rent, and having engaged several roughs he was fearful of a row. Witness told him he could not interfere, and went away. Shortly after ha heard orieg of " Murder" and went back, and saw Mr. Abrahanig thrown out. He also saw the affair just as described by the prosecutrix. At this stage of the procceedings Mr. Lewis, for the prisoners, requested to have the further hearing of the case postponed, as he had an important engagemen t tu attend to in the City. Alter some discussion Mr. Beadon remanded the case fk.r a week, and consented to take bail for the .appear ante of the whole of the prisoners on that day. THAMES, SINGULAR CHARGE OF ROBBERY.—Fanny Evans, a huge black woman, with large features and well know° in the port of London as a laundress for American car tains, mates, and seamen, was brought before Mr. Safe , charged with stealing a 10 dollar gold piece, two 5 clo l ' lar gold pieces, an English sovereign, and some silver/ from the person of Henry Wilson, a seaman. The prosecutor said he belonged to the American sh l P Imogene, in the Commercial Dock. Last night he wa s drinking in the Red Lion public-house, Whit ec hapo and fell in with the black woman, who began talking about the United States. He was rather the worse for liquor, and he accepted an invitation which the prisoner had offered him, who said , k she had good accommodation for him to go to he i r house and have a bed there. On reaching h er dvre'' ling he sent out for more liquor, and soon fell asleer , When he awoke he missed a leather horse, which contained a gold ten dollar piece, two gold five dollar pieces, an English sovereign and a few shillings in silver. He went in search of a policeman, and gag e the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, in defence, said that she met the sailor in the Red Lion, Ratcliff Highway, not, in Whitechape l f and he changed a ten-dollar piece there. The linciladf asked him to leave his money in her care, which 11 1 refused to do. Several girls got ab ou t hi m , an d woul d have st3len all his money if she had not protectea him. She took him home, and as. a great many bad girl; were about him, she took his money for the purpose 0 taking cire of it, and not with the intention of robbing, him. She offered the money, which consisted of 1 ell piece, 1 sovereign, and a few shallop to the 'midi tdy of a puldic house, but she refused to have any thing to d° with it. Moseley, a police constable, No. 51 11, said that whe n be took the prisoner into custody she dropped an Awe' rican gold piece from her mouth, and he persuaded be t to give up an English sovereign, which_ was also in bet mouth. He took soine Eoglish silver coins in her bane' It appearing that the prisoner had actual y ffered th e money taken from her to Mrs. Fisher, the landlady of * public house, and that she was never iu custody bele ° for any act of dishonesty, Mr. Selfe said he could not accept the evidence of * drnnken man unconfirmed, and there was no doubt the sailor had made a mi-take about the ,amount of h i : 11 money. He should have liked the case better if the 10' ; soner had not denied possession of the rnor ey when Or° spoken to by the constable. He ordered the money to be restored to the sailor, and discharged the prisoner. Fatl), Evans here made an appeal to the sailor 0 give her a shilling to start with. Mr. Selfe—Yes, do the handsome thing ; g i ve her * shilling. She has taken care of your money. I doo f t believe she ever intended to steal it. ACCIDENT AT EUSTON -SQUARE STATION.
