EVENING EDITION. PUSEYISM, (From the ar7drd•Chtonicle.) • A well-known Clergyman in •Lendon has just pub , lished. a.little work, entitled- ." - A Doctrinal Catechism of the Church of England, in which all the answers are given in the language of the HOS - nines, Articles, and Li turgy ; to which are added Scripture proofs, and also _ a chapter on . Mibisters, shoaling who are the true preachers of Christ." In this cateatiina the doetrriei -- or, the Puseyite au thor, whi i ch he has 'the audacity to term the doctrines of the Church of England, are thus set forth. We , .q . uete the intolerant and unchristian stuff with which this man and his party, the Puseyites and Tories toge .tjaer, f ire endeastOuring to poison the youthful mind. • ", I. Who are your lawful and spiritual pastors ? , The Ministers cf the Church of England in these realms. " 2. What are they ceed?—Bishops, Priests, and Deacons. „.. "3. Are not Dissenting teachers natnisters of t h e Gospel ?—No ; they have never been called after the manner of " 4. But do not they say that God - has called them inwardly ?—YeS ; but if he had, he would have called them according to the order of his ward, outwardly. " 5. What do you mean by the order of his word ? They should have been appointed by those who haws public authority given unto them in the congregation to call and send Ministers into the Lord's vineyard,' and who are also the apostles' successors. " 6. Who are they ?—The Bishops of the Church of England, in the English Church. " 7. Who consecrated the Bishops ?—Their spiritual predecesaors, and they theirs, and so on, until you come to apostolical times and apostolical men, and so to Christ, the founder of our religion. " 8. Who ordains Priests and Deacons ?—The Bi shops, with the help of their presbyters. " 9. Is it not very wicked to assume this sacred of fice?—lt is; as is evident from the case of Borah, Dathan, and Abiram, mentioned in the 16th chapter of Numbers. " 10. Who appoints Dissenting 'teachers ?—They either wickedly appoint each other, or are not appointed at all ; and so in either case their • assuming the office is very wicked. " H. But are not Dissenting teachers thought to be very good men?—They are often thought to be such, mil so were Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, till God showed them to be very wicked. d 12. But may we not hear them preach ?—No ; for God 'Says,' Depart from the tents of these wicked men.' 13. Who, then, are. we to,hcar and be taught by ? —The ministers of the Church, with whom Christ says, He will he to the end of the world. • "14. 'Hew is Christ with his ministers to the end of the :solid ?—By his holy spirit, blessing the ordinances of prayer, praise, 'reading and preaching the word, to gether with the blessed steratnenti." again we ask—are these the doctrines of the Ch!srch of England? If they be, ought the national ftmds and influence to be devoted one !moment longer • to the . suPeert of such an anti-Christian system of hieotry and intoleranee ; and &they be not her doe ' triees, should tile preacher and teacher of item be par th:L.ted to use her name and ,aothoritY, her pulpits, and sv.'- - .Ath. for diFserninating them?

It is not surprising that an article, every one of whose religicus views it pure Popery, should have received the pip; youal, compliment of praise in Papal journals.

COURT ,OF COMM ON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of seal ing the contract for the foundation of the New Royal Exchanga, and on other business. THE DITESESSED POLES. Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Cortazzi, and Mr. R. G. inDonnell, appeared as petitioners from the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, and were received with the greatest respect by the Lord Macor, Alder men, Sheriffs, and Members of the Court. The depu tation were invited to take seats on.the platform next to the Bench. Mr. Wu. PRITCHARD said that he had the honour of being intrusted with the petition, on the merits of which it would be unnecessary for him to address the Court, as the subject of the distress of the Poles was not new to them, and Lord Dudley Stuart would take the op portunity of making such observations relative to the matter as appeared to him to be necessary under the circumstances. The-refugees had already experienced the bounty of the citizens ; but their deplorable deri tution, as well as the cause which led to that extre mity, gave them a claim which could not be denied or neglected.—(Cheers.) Lord DUDLEY STUART then read the following pe- tition " To the Right Hon.•the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons, in Common Council assembled,— " My Lords and Gentlemen,—Your petitioners ap proach the bar of your Honourable Court, to which your patronage and protection in behalf of those unfor tunate Polish exiles, who have nothing to depend on save the sympathies and charitable exertions of the hu mane and benevolent. In doing so, your petitioners feel a strong confidence that their request Will meet a favourable reception, for they remember with deep gratitude the indulgence extended towards them on for mer and similar occasions by your Honourable Court. "The reasons which then influenced your Honour able Court to come forward with true English gene rosity, and hearken to the voice of the oppressed and the exile, are, alas! at this moment stronger, if pos sible, than ever. The months which have flown since your petitioners stood at the bar of your Honourable Court have brought no diminution of suffering, no alleviation to the misery of the destitute Polish exiles. Another winter is fast approaching, and, to the scanty food, want of sufficient Clothing, and indifferent lodg ing, is about to be added the unmitigated severity of the season. The friends, who have never ceased to watch over the interests of the Polish Refugees have done all in their power to relieve their wants by raising subscriptions, by fetes, and by public statements of their unhappy condition. Your petitioners would not feel justified in approaching the bar of your Honourable Court were they not able most truly to as sert that they do 'so only after having exhausted every practicable scheme for raising funds to relieve the imme diate and pressing extremity to which the exiles are now reduced. For this purpose the Council of the Literary 1 Association of the Friends of Poland got up with much trouble and expense a fete at Beulah Spa, and another at Cremorne House, for the benefit of the Polish exiles. The proceeds of the former amounted to a mere trifle, in consequence of the wretched state of the weather whilst a similar reason rendered the latter fete at Cremorne House not merely unprofitable, but even a loss amounting to upwards of 1301. The Council ; feeling that it would be adding, sorrow to sorrow, were this ' less to fall en the diminished funds that re mained for the support of the exiles, a few of its t . i4n.bers subscribed from their own pockets the defi ciency 'of 1301. Having now done all in their power, having exerted themselves in every possible way,' to alleviate the heart-rending misery of the refugees and having, failed, through'eircumstanees over which it was, utterly impossible for them to exercise any control,' they therefore hope your Honourable Court will take into consideration those various. (nisfortunes which hav e .' absolutely forced them •to thrdw themselves once more, on your benevolence and kind indulgence. " Your petitioners know thpt in this,hall, and amongst the high-minded and independent British men assembled here, the voice of the destitute and suffering, if they be,, deserving, is ,never raised in vain. Shall pot, therefore, the gallantry of those whose present want is the best commentary on their virtuous patriotism, find an an swering chord in every true English heart that beats within these - walls, " There are 52 Polish exiles' whose entire and sole dependence for bread is on the e fforts of the Council of the Literary Association _of the Friends ,of Poland to awaken public sympathy in their behalf. Shall these 52 ,men ask for bread, and must they be sent away starving ? " Their request is a simple one ; yet though easy for your, Honourable Court to grant, on its success depends the probable welfare or misery. during the weary months of a long winter, of many a brave but unfortunate man. " Your petitioners, therefore, pray, that they may be again allowed. by your,ilonottrable Court the use of the Guildhall,, for the purpose of giving therein a ball for, the.henefit of, the Polish refugees at present, dependent on. them, pr .that such . other :relief .maybe granted to those exiles As your Honoura'sle Court shall in its wis dom doom fit:and proffer. , " On behalf of the Council, ". DUDLEY COUTTS STUA,RT,,ViCO President. " RICHARD GRAVES MAJONsELLL, HOn. Sec." Lord DUDLEY STUART ellen proceeded to address the Court. He deemed it a very high privilege, and it was one of which he felt most proud, to be permitted to ad , dress the, Corporation on the subject which had brought i the, deputation before them, that day.. -He had always .o;periPnced, so much. kindness from the members col lectively and individually, that the, dif f idence which he Ishould otherwise have.felt in coming f orwar d, was i n a great measure alleviated. He came to. plead: the cause of those who had already received great benefits from the Corporatioo-o4soltdon-Cireers.) - : Perhaps it might be said. gist' fliet.mie.a xettafin altbie he. should not appeal' aeon the present, occasion as a petitioner for further favours. He' trusted, hoWeiter,' that his explanation would' justify his conduct. These tinforttinate per Sons, -for *ham he implored the 'humane considerAtion of the Court, were ' plunged in distress. All that had been recently done to alleviate•their miteries, bad been ren dered unavailing by elrenmatahees which could opt be controlled, and they knew not where to turn for bread, and must perish if not aided by the benevolent. It was no flourish to say that. there had been instances of the fatif effects'of the destitution to -which the poor Poles had been subjected., "lii the experience Which 'he had 'had, he had known ; that some had died from want, that come had died in their attempts to obtain sustrnance, by labour to' which they were tirifitted and - unaccustomed, and that the'intellects of others had. been destroyed 'by the necessities to which they were subjected.—(Hear, hear.) Yes, there were several of those unfortunate exiles unde'r 'confinement in consequence of this mental aberration, whiehhad grown out of their extreme distress. It was in the cause of tbitt gallant, but unfortunate band,. he appeared.— (Cheers.) He had no idea of entering into the great political question i'dvolvkl in their Condition. He merely addresseel himself to the charitable feelings of the Court; but the cause in which the Polisleexiles had been engaged, and for their attachmerit to which they were now dreadful suffeiers, was acknowledged to be a righteous cause by perians of all 'politics and per suasions. —(Cheers.) In Parliament their claims were admitted by those who were opposed - to each other on another questions ; and the subscription lilt had in its catalogue the names of Pratestarde, and Catholics, and Jews, .and boasted of 'the recent addition' of the highest r ecclesiastical names in the country.—(Loud cheers.) He trusted that the Court saw that he came forward upon substantial grounds - to ask' them lb? a'repetition of the indulgence which had already proved so highly serviceable to the cause. It might be said that the conduct of some of the Poles was objectionable. At though he had 'been called an enthusiast in the cause, he was not So blind as' not to admit that there were in dividuals amormst them who' had acted in such a manner as deserved reprobation ; but the Courf would not allow that to imply an imputation ngainst'{ttse general body.—(Hear, hear.) There was onepoint worthy of node() with reference to those un happy exiles. -It was asked; 'how long was the applica tion for relief to last ? Was the country for ever to be giving assistance to the Pales ? He would reply to these questions by saying, that so long as they remained in the condition in which they were placed is conse quence of the efforts they had made in' the great cause for which they suffered, so long would British - liberality stand between them and starvation:—(Cheers.) People who were provided for in their blindnesi and deafness, and other defects or maladies, continued blind and deaf, and incapable of maintaining themselves from those causes, and yet charity was not wearied. Those poor exiles appealed to Englishman uijOn the' unanswerable plea that they were deprived of their home. They asked for bread and shelter, and he was convinced they would not be denied.—(Cheers.) Mr. PRITCHARD, after a few words (many were unne cessary), moved that the prayer of the petition be granted.—(Cheers.) Mr. WELLS, who has been in the habit of opposing p pw e tlio tinie the ti 4 ii b o o n uh sfor pecuniary relief, rose, to the astonishment of ev ery b o d y, to second the mo ti on .--(Cheers.) 'Mr. S TEVEDIS t h oug h t i t wou ld b e advisable questionto:post deaja the streets. fora ( week, ,e.s as there' might be appli cations 'f or the Hell for the benefit of the British poor M W ILLIam r. * t h e p olls •,,s also threw out a hint that relief to gnt to follow assistance to our own claim ants. • Mr. ANDERTON strongly advocated the cause of the Poles iihO had, aftei nci claim ox cept upon the humanay of the public'; and the grant of the Rail involv'ed no expense to the Corporation.

Upon the motion ofMr. R. L. JONES, the Report was unanimously agreed to, and the City Seal was attached to thC contract. The works will commence immediately. GREAT METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. R.

It seems that he had been un fortunate at the "previous examination'! (better known as the' Little Go''), which was held the day before at the Senate House. :On Monday night the names of those whpm the examiners had approved of and passed were sent viand, at about half-past nine to , the different colleges, and on hearing that his own was not ift the list aentto Cotherine hall, it is supposed that the unfortunate young man had determined upon putting an end, to his existence. He ap plied at two Chemists to purchase laudanum, but the quan tity he required, and his excited manner creating suspi cion, he was very properly refused. At the third chemist's where he presented hiniSelr, the shopman, it would appear, was less obsei vent. Mr. Holman went in through Cathe rine Hill-gate, at twelve o'cloCk on Monday night. On Tuesday morning his gyp knocked at his bedroom door several times without receiving any answer. The door being forcibly opened, the young man.was_ found stiff and lifeless in bed. A surgeon was sent for immeciately, who pron,,unced life extinct, and that the melancholy effect was produced by poison. He was of melancholy and soli tary habits. His age was about twenty.five. His pros.. pects lay in the Church. It is said that he is an only son, and that hiS mother', a widow, liveS in tire neighbourhood of Epsom.

Mr. Gibson's reply, we believe was in the following terms;—" I am in favour of a perfectly free trade in corn, and consider that the interests of the com munity would be best consulted by the immediate as well as the total repeal of the Corn-laws." A general meeting of the Asiociation was held - on Saturday evening last, in their rooms, Newell's-buildings . ; and the report (of which the question and answer given above form the ma terial part) having been made, it was proposed and adop ted that the 'question and the reply of Mr. Gibson should be entered on the minutes of the Association's proceed- - ings. --Manchester Guardian. • - SINGULAR AND SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE NIG:NIX GAS WORKS.—Wednesday afternoon a most sin gular accident, attended with serious Consequences, oc curred to Dennis Connell, a lad 16 years of age, at the Phcenix Gas-works, Bankside. The Company'are erecting anew retort house. The chimney, which is 130 feet in height, being completed, the workmen were engaged in striking the scaffolding around it, when by some means a large brick fell from the top down the shaft of the chim ney, and, rebounding against the sides, in a most inexpli cable manner, escaped from the chimney through a hole in the shaft made for the flue of the retort-house, about 40 feet from the ground, and struck Connell on the head with such violence as to fracture his skull. He was taken up in a state of insensibility, and conveyed to-St. Thomas's Hos- pita!, where he lies in a hopeless state. - What renders' the accident more remarkable is,,that Connell was standing at the distance of several feet ,from thebase of the chimney, and was surrounded by several workmen, all of whom,for tunately escaped unhurt. .

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS (FROM THE, DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) . (From the Globe.) The sentence of the Court-martial on Captain R. A. Reynolds may not overstep military principles of judg ment on such cases. We will not undertake to say that it doesthe will lcsoanuct of the' H orse G uar d s in y j however, is -that, taken in the previous case (we shall, of course, be understood to conjunction ; what ha t w withe refer to the case of Captain J. W. Reynolds), it proves that gentlemen in the army have, at present, no protec tection whatever against treatment which gentlemen are not in the habit of submitting to anywhere else. We say the sentence of the Court-martial completes the demonstration of that fact. And surely it is a fact o f some gravity to the honour of the service. That chastity of honour, whichfeels a stain like a wound," has been hitherto understood to be the cha racteristic of British officers. The Court-martial would hardly 'carry their views of subordination so far, as to say that the hand of a subordinate must not be raised against a commanding officer who should seek to inflict 'actual wounds upon him. Evidence as to the fact of such an assault could scarce be " stamped with repro bation," as " totally subversiv e of the fundamental principles by which all armies are governed." No a. my can be governed by madmen, or by men who ,•annot govern themselves ; and therefore the very " fundamental principles by which all armies are go verned" appear to dictate the reception, and not the rejection' of evidence to prove' p rovocat i ons w hi c h , it alleged truly, strike at the root o f a ll m ili tary subor dination, because they strike at th e root o f a ll m ili tary . men can be caned or chidden int o su b m i ss i on . Th ey can neither be brought under th e co d e o f R uss i a , nor Turkey. There must be " subordi na ti on o f t h e h eart ," It is riot, we suppos e , i mag i ne d t h at gentle , or there will be no subordination amongst freemen. Well, then !—what must be the effect of a sentence like the denial of any Court-martial in the former case ? that of this Court-martial, vie we d i n connec ti on w ith What but that of a formal and authentic announce ment that the authorities at the head of the Army will neither redress grievances pnblicly, nor allow the parties who feel themselves aggrieved to seek redress privately ! The wrongs of honour must therefore remain unheard and wiredressed altogether, whenever a Coalman ing-officer is deficieht enough in English spirit (we do not mean in courage, but in the freeman's spirit of fair play) to take advantage of his military rank to indulge his temper with impunity. No man in private life can permit another to wreak his caprice upon him, without calling for an explanation of any approach to an insult which that caprice may dictate, or may be said to have dictated. No man in private life would dream that he could withhold that explana tion. It appears, however, that an officer at the head of a regiment has as much more latitude than other men, as his inferiors have less; and that while they may not require from him that satisfaction of private feelings, which any gentleman is entitled to demand of another, ' lie may satisfy his feelings of resentment or revenge against them, by saying whatever he pleases'about them, without being called on fdr an explanation. (From the Standard.) We have hitherto, from that respect which we feel to be always,due to the administration of justice, cau tiously witbheld any remarks upon the proceedings of the court-martial upon Captain Reynolds ; 'and even now, considerations connected with one of the partiPs to that process forbid that we enter particularly into the merits of the - case, which has been decided in the main point: as every one feels that it must have been decided without an open transgression. of the articles ,of war. .An .officer :has been „cornsicted ,- upon clear testimony, _indeed parlor officer to fight a ,duel in language the reve rse admission, ,of having challenged a su upon his ownadmission, of respectful ; be has for that Offeee,,t, been dismissed the. serviee,.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. William Bates, described as a barber, was indicted for stealing, on the 18th Sept., two bags, and eighty sovereigns, forty half sovereigns, four Bank of Eagland notes, of 5/. each, and a quantity of silver money, the property of Mr. Edward Scotchman, proprietor of the Crown, Henry-street, Portland-town. Mr. Adolphus conducted the prosecution, and Mr. • Phillips appeared for the defence. Mr. Scotchman deposed that he was the landlord of the Crown, as above stated, and the prisoner was in his service. On the morning of the 18th September, when he came down stairs, lie placed in the bar-parlour two bags containing together, in gold and notes, money to the amount of 130/., and two cheques of the value of 31/. Shortly after he had deposited the bags, the prisoner came in and went in to the tap-room, and from thence into the kitchen, where he would have an opportunity of seeing the property that was lying in the bar-parlour. The prisoner, then asked for some rum and gin, which liquors were placed in bottles by witness. There was a cow murication from the kitchen to the bar, and he saw the prisoner go in that direction, as he, witness, was stand ing at the bar. The prisoner then came up to Ilia), and seemed all of a shiver, and said that lie had been very' ill all night, and asked - him to give him some brandy, and witness accordingly gave him some ; and while be was drinking it, witness observed some person go out of the house, and he asked the prisoner who it was, and he replied that he did not know. The'prisoner then went out with the liquor that had been measured, and imme diately afterwards witness missed the bags and their con tents from the table on which he had placed them ashort time before. Witness gave information to the and when the prisoner returned he told him that the man whom he saw leave the house had robbed him, and he again said that he dii not know the man. He said nothing more to the prisoner that day, but on the fol lowing day he was induced to give him into custody on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery. 'rtie pri soner was examined before a Magistrate upon the charge, but was discharged, as-the evidence against him was not sufficient to implicate him in the transaction at that time. On the 27th of September following a per- I son named Burnham called upon him and made a cont . munication :to him respecting the robbery, and Witness sent for an officer named Taylor, and when he arrived Burnham produced a bag, which on being opened was found to contain 80/. in sovereigns and halt 'sovereigns. Burnham•and Tayl or t h en went away toget h er, and he. •tellowed them to a public house' called the New Sun, where they found the prisoner; and 'be was taken into . custody.

The priioner, atter he was discharged, served - him with a Writ," With a view to proceeding against him furfalse imprisonment. - Re-examined.— Witness - was the only Gerson who was - examined at the police-office. - Jahn Burnham deposed that he had known the pri soner for '2O years, and on the morning of the 22 1 Sep •tember he• met him near - Abe prosecutor's honse, and witness told him that a - men' had been taken up for , robbing Mr. 'Scotchman, and that he was going-to see him. The prisoner 'said that he would go- with him.; and they accordingly went together to the Police-office, and saw the man who was'in cuitodY,' and -the prisoner remarked that he was 'not the man, for he was not big enough, and he then went away, Ile met the prisoner again on the same day, and later in the day be, went to the New Sun, where the prisoner`was, and the prisoner asked him what the news 'was? and he re plied, " Very - bad." When . they had conversed a little, he said to the prisoner, - ' Billy, you arc concerned in this?" He replied, " I know I am, but they can't find me out, as I had none of the silve.r, and no person saw me take the other, which I have stowed away, so that I can take alittle of it at a time, as I want it." Witnesg then asked the prisoner what he had done with the notes and cheques, and:he replied that he had.burned them. The prisoner then gave him a sovereign to pay for some brandy and water, and they. went to Hampstead together, and ,the prisoner gave him' more triiiney to purchase heef 7 steaks with. Witnesi then asked him where he intended to go, and .he said he did 'net know where to. go. They-then went the New Sad, and to Chalk Farm, where they had more refreshment; and as they were going home,-. witness said to . t'heinisoner; " Billy, this will. all b e f oun d our, and 'you 'will be Iranspor:ed.7 He .then asked the' prisoner how ,much of the money was left, and he re plied that he had got about eighty or ninety pounds. He then said that se had much better let him give that back to' Mr: Seotchtnan,qs he thought he. would rather have that, than transport him. .The prisoner upon this, burst into tears, and said, " Ou ray dear coil: dren." The prisoner then ,took him out into the garden, and he raked up the earth and produced a bag, and they opened it together, and he counted out eighty pounds in gold, and wit- . ness then took the bag and told him that he would go to Mr. Scotchrnan and offer him the money, and if he refused. to- take it he said he would" bring it:hack-tri,hien, and it was arranged that the pri soner. must, wait for him al the :Newt Sun:- -"WitnesS . accordingly took: the , money" to, Mr. Scotcliman, •and .

It-iwas picked , up and he was • I • given ; into custody. , This witness was cross-examined at some 'length by Mr—Phillips, and persisted. ia the statement he 'had made, and his evidence was• not at all'shakerr. • John Taylor, a police sergeant of -the S division, de posed that he apprehended the prisoner on the 18111 of September, and at his request be went and searched his house, and found a silver snuff-box, and tti/o sove reigns and some silver, and the prisoner was sub sequently taken to Marylebone, Police-office and (-mutinied,. but was • discharged.

Mr. Phillips addressed- the Jury, and called witnesses who gave -the prisoner a good character. • Mr. Justice ERSKINE summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prosecutor applied for the restitution of the money found in the prisoner's possession. Mr. Justice Easxlmt said there was no doubt it was his- property, and he would therefore, of course, take' it. Mr. Seotehman said there was no doubt that the silver.snuff-box found at the prisoner's house, had been bought with his money, and asked whether he ought not to have that also? -Mr. -Justice ERSKINE directed that lie 'should have that also.

The gipsies did not interfere, but the prisoner made a most desperate re sistance, and hit the constable through his fingers seve ral times, and likewise kicked him and hurt him severely, end it required the assistance of three other man before he was secured. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Cour sentenced hito to be transported for fifteen years. David Fitzgerald, aged 22, a well dressed young man, a notorious thief, was indicted for stealing a purse and a half sovereign, the property of Anne Kingston. It appeared that the pro.oeutor, who is servant to a gentleman at Carshalton, went to Croydon Fair on the 2d October, accompanied by two fellow-servants ; and, as they were walking up George -street, Croydon, which leads to the fair, the prisoner was seen to put his hand into her pocket, and take out the purse. It was, how ever, snatched from his hand, and he then ran away, but was pursued and taken into custody, and he was immediately identified as the party who had committed The robbery.

Inspector Pearce stated on • Wednesday evening ho I called at the residence of Mr. Attwood, Delahay-street, WeStminster, Where 'he bad been informed the prisoner Gifford lived, but he was told by the servant girl that he was not at home, and about 11 o'clock, seeing him go to the door to get in, he went and asked him if his name wit' not Gifford, and if he lived in the house, when he said " Yes." Witness asked him if he had changed a 401. note at the Cherry Tree, Southgate, on the 11th inst., and he said that he had. On inquiring hOw he b ecame possessed of it, he said he had received it from a female. Witness asked him who the female was, and he replied that she was his cousin, who had gone to Bristol, but he could not tell in what part .of that town she was stopping. He then told him he was an officer; and on vexed him to the station house in 'Gardner's•lane, where, upon being further questioned, he said that on Saturday week. the 10th inst„ he was at his cousin's house, 4, Cumberland - street , . Blackfriar's-road, when she g a ve it , to nun tne afternoon, no other person being present at the time ; and on being asked if she was a married woman, he said she was the wife of a tailor, and har words were, when she handed it to him, You are to get this'ehanged for me by some of your trades people, as I want to go to the country to see my friends," but she did not say. what was the amount of the note, and that she had_ saved it up without the knowledge of her husband. The prisoner also said that he met her on Monday in Oreat . George-street, where she was waiting for him to return, and that he had given all the change to her, consisting of two 101. notes, two 51. notes, and the remainder in sovereigns, and that he had also given her a 51. note at the time ho received the note from her. The prisoner was consequently detained, and being conveyed to the station-house in the neigh bourhood of the ,Court, witness told him that it had been stolen, when he said that he had seen the female prisoner on Sunday last, at the same time mentioning her name, and where, she lodged, and the name of her -husband, who was present, when he received the note. On Wednesday night, when the prisoner was in cus tody he said that it was no longer any use for him to say that he did not know what situation the fe male prisoner's husband filled, when he said, " Well, I'll tell you, he's a general postman." About ten o'clock on Thursday morning, witness proceeded to the lodgings of the female prisoner, at. 12, John-street, Blaekfriars, where she had removed on the Saturday previous, when, on questioning her respecting the pri soner Gifford, she said sbe did not know him; and, on being asked if such a person did not live with Mr. Att wood, in Delahay-street, she said Yes, and that she had given him a 401. note to change, which she had picked up near to the Temple Gardens or Whitehall Gardens on the .day she had given, it to him is Great George street ; and she received at two . different times eight , sovereigns as change, and no more, f l o te 7 e. of On nhicbl being i i l o l g e gave her when she handed him the asked what she had done with the 51. note she had got t from, him, she . said she had bought a sofa (P u o t irti a n t g sh : a new one, and a new table, in the roo.mei)) contained; t four had no money, having lost her purse, sovet Cigna, and on searching, tl estatien-house room.
