Voss's qazette of Berlin quotes a letter from Vienna, o f he 25th ult., which says :—" It is now known to be ,a ositive fact that not only part of the Italian regiment egismund went over to the enemy on the 24th, or else unded arms, refusing to fire on their countrymen, but hat the Italian regiments Wernhard and Aleman have also hown that discipline cannot always neutralise national . _ . feeline b A number of deserters froni these regiments have 1 &ought in here, and it is certain that ninny of them, hub-officers included, have been shot.

FRANC' PARIS, Thursday Evening. —The scanty and unsatisfactory account of the battle of Solferino given.. in yesterday's Wifoniteur , is the only one, except the still more meagre telegrams, which the public is favoured with as yet. The War-office acts as if it thought it was no concern of the tonblic; and perhaps deems it very strange of them to show any curiosity or anxiety as to the fate of their relatives and friends to whose valour Victor Emmanuel will owe his large of territory. It is certain that :much irritation silence of the official journal. It is ru on authority, that General Dieu has died of d that General Ladmirault lies in a very story , is told" of brotheis "who was' in the army, on Major, ad the third as I killed at Montebello; the third at Ma; at Solferino. The circular addr sed by M. Caiour to tt Sardinian Ministers at foreign Courts information than we had last January - of the projects - which were then matured of wresting Lombardy from Austria. The Papal" States will be left as the last to be devoured , by the Piedmontese Cyclops, for they are a difficult morsel. There are, In point of-fact, , two Popes now ruling at Rome —Generat•Goyon and Pie Nono. To a person who happened to say not ling ago to' one highly placed in the Pontifical service, "Now, at least the Popeis a free agent; it was answered, " No ; the real Pope is the French General. A Sovereign cannot be said to be a free a g ent if he cannot escape." ' A letter has been received in Paris from a non commissioned officer of a regiment of light cavalry who was present at 'the battle of Solferino. He says that his regiment was one that suffered least, and • still there were two chefs d'escadron (majors) killed. He adds that there are some of the French infantry regiments abbne's, meaning that their were nearly eta to pieces. As for the Piedmontese army, 11; says it suffered so severely, that it is incapable of forming 'a line of battle. In a few days will appear a new - work, to which the great question of the day (now discussed by rifled cannon and armes du precision on the plains of Lombardy, and soon by ships-of-war and gun-boats in the AdriatiC and the laguaes of Veni ce ) w ill give more th an ordinary i n te res t. It is - entitled . La Grande Italienne, or, Mathilde de Toscani, and i s from- the pen of M. Amedee Renee, 'the principal editor of the Constitutionnel, and already known by his work „Les Nie'ees de Iffazarin. The subject,, as well as title, was suggested by - the Emperor Napoleon, who perused the manuscript shortly before his departure for the army of Italy. The Princess , Mathilde (th'. Emperor's cousin) contributes to the adornment of the volume the portrait of her celebrated namesake, copied from an ancient miniature in her possession. The life of the Countess Mathilde, about which little is generally known, forms one of the most interesting episodes in the great struggle between Hildebrand (Gregory VII.) and 71 e ry IV. of Germany, on the right of investiture. At this period the Sovereign not only granted territorial property to ecclesiastics, but -also exercised the right of investing them with the ecclesiastical functions 'of their office. Hildebrand applied Ms whole energy to wresting from the secular power that privilege, and-endowing the ecclesiasti cal authority with investiture .as well as canonical insti-. tution. In this great struggle 'between Rome and the: Empire the pope was greatly assisted by three Princesses, all of them of the Imperial family,—namely, the' Empress Agnes, the mother of Henry ; the Duchess Beatiii, - his aunt ; ,and, more especially by the Countess Mathilde, his cousin-german. Mathilde, who had separatdd from her two husbands—Godfrey, the hunchback, and Quell V., Duke of,.Bavaria devoted herself with the most extraor dinary zeal to the Pope, whom . she received, when hard pressed, in her . fortress of Cavessa, near Reggio, for Mathilde was then Sovereign ornscanv, 13 also a part of Lombardy. It was at her castle that Jim ry IV. came to make his submission, and where he underwent for Three - days the moat humiliating penance.. On the _fourth only would _ _ t*regory, at the pressing instance of Mathilde, consent to receive him; on condition of his laying , aside all his state, and even his garments, except the tunic of a - pilgrim. This devoted woman carried on war for years against the Emperors, lost and recovered 'several of her fortresses on the Po, and left the whole of her domains to the Pope, to the detriment of her sec on d h us b an d , w h om she had long . quitted. The Jesuit Mainbourg (Decadence de i'Empire) gives the following account of the extraordinary influence Gregory possessed over the mind of this fair enthusiast :-- " Mathilde, being then alone, and absolute mistress of her States, as the Duchess - Ifelfrlx, her mother, died shortly after the death of GParey, she attached herself more- strongly than before to following the counsels of Gt . egory, who became complete master of her mind, her 'conduct, and her property. In fact, according to the custom of these good devotees, who think that all would be lost for them if their directory was not near them, and to whom they are sometimesa little too lunch attached, she did all she could not to lose sight of him. She followed him assiduously everywhere, she rendered him a thousand cares and a thousand services with incredible affection. She acted but by his orders, which she executed with marvellous exactness ; and, though she was the greatest Princess of Italy, she preferred to that quality the humble one of servant and dear daughter, regarding him and treating him as her father.. and 'her master, with great respect—in truth, with zeal and devotion, but also, perhaps, with a little less of prudence and discretion than she ought, if we may,dare to say so w i thout in anywise diminishing the hono ur which ought to be paid to the memory of so illustrious a Princess." 3 1.athilda died in 1115, having survived Gregory 30 years. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF WASHINGTON. The screw steam-ship City of Washington arrived off Queenstown about ten o'clock last night, with 439 passengers, being a portion of those having taken passage in the Edinburgh, which latter vessel, it will be remembered, was struck by an iceberg, and is at present at St. John's, Newfoundland. The City of Washington also brings $501,398 in specie, and dates from New York to the 18th ult., and Boston to the 23rd. 'AUSTRALIA, PLYMOUTH, Friday.—The ship Francis Henty has arrived here to-day, in 87 days from Melbourne. 'Tan non-electors of South Essex have determined on inviting Mr. It. B. Baker, the late member, to a public dinner. The gathering is to take place in August. The falling off in the stamp duties during the past quarter is attributed to the general election, which compel attorneys to put off their ordinary tax paying business. THE Archbishop of Vienna has prohibited in that city the performance of a play called The Monk and the Soldier, on the ground that it is improper for any ecclesiastical costume to be exhibited on the stage. IMPERIAL PARLIA.MEN T. DOUSE OF LORDS_-. FRIDAY On the question of the third reading of the Red Sea and India Telegraph Bill, Lord Stanley of Alderley explained the circnmstanceEr under which a Government guarantee should bd given• to a private company. Some remarks were made on the same subject by Earl Granville and the Earl of Derby ; after which the Bill was read a third time and.passed. The Lord Chancellor introduced a Bill, diminishing by two years the period during which articled attorneys were compelled to serve, When they had previously graduated at either University. Lord Lyndhurst defended the appointment of Mr. John Blackburn to, the vacant Judgeship. He bore testimony to legalthe great knowledge and ability of that gentleman, and his eminent qualifieations for the office. Lord Campbell said he had not been influenced in making the appointment by any consideration but that of the fitness of Mr. Blackburn. The appointment was further justified by Lords Wensley dale and Cranworth. .Lord Vivian having inquired what were the intentions of the Government in reference to the Volunteer Rifle Corps, The Earl'of Ripon gave an explanation similar to that made by Mr. S. Herbert in the House of Commons. The Duke of, Newcastle having . made some observations to the same effect, and after a brief discussion, the subject dropped. Lord Brougham inquired whether the report was true that the Ministry intended to reduce our naval expenditure, and took occasion to introduce a series of remarks touching the present war in Italy. The Duke of Somerset declared that no exertions would be spared to place our navy on. a proper footing. He entered at some length into the details of the subject, declaring that it was mont still furt .er to extend the eff both in the building of ships, and still more in taking. .overn- for. manning them: The Earl of Hardwick -declared_ the country could not be considered safe without -three fleets—one in the Chan nel, another in the Mediterrancnn, and a third in the German Ocean. ' The Earl of Ellenborough reprobated the ambitiOUS designs of the Emperor of the French; who would not rest till he had carried out the projects of the first Napoleon, and from whom an invasion of this country must be ex pected when he had exhausted the power of Austria. Their: Lordships adjourned at 7.30 p,m.. HOUSE OF COMMONS.- FRIDAY Mr. Cobden took the oaths and his seat for Rochdale, as did Lord Bury, and Mr. Gibson, after their respective re elections. Sir J. Shelly asked the Secretary of State for War, whether Her Majesty's Government would adopt the views of the late adinintstration, with respect to volunteer corps, or whether they will be disposed to supply a sufficient quantity of arms for practice. Mr. S. ,Herbert said, the present Government intended to carry out the views of their predecessors, with regard to the Rifle Corps. Arms will be furnished to 25 per cent. of • • • the volu locality were a sa y inspection In reply to a far Mr. S. Herbert wlication bad been made for e preient act only referred to England, and an alteration would be necessary for Ireland. Mr. Kinnaird asked the Secretary of State for India whether the proclamation confiscating: the soil of Oude to the Crown is being acted upon, so that 'the right of the .Talookdars have been restored, while in many instances those of the peasants are considered to be forfeited. Sir, C. Wood said that no further confiscation was in - -:- progress, the Talookdars having sent in'their submission.' In reply to Mr. T. Duncombe, Russell' said there would at present be st rong objection to the production of the: reports mad e by th e military commissioners sent to . the . head-quarters of the French, Austrian, and Sarniniat armies. • .On the triodon of 'adjournment till Monday, • Mr. Stanley called the attention of the house to a state ment made by Mr: Denni;i at a public meeting at North ampton, that an offer had been made to Mr. Gilpin, by the agents of the late Government, to influence his vote in Parliament, and to call upon the secretary of the Poor-Law Board to cornniunieathlettefs referred 'to by him, with the name of the pets -n froni'whom they originated, to the house. Mr. Dennis had complained 9 that the offer Was not a pecuniary one, but ,relited to an appointtnent. That offer was Said to have come from a lady, and held out the prospect of a colonial governorship if Mr. Gilpin gave his .vote far Lord Derby. As Mr. Gilpin had made political capital, out of:the affair, it became necessary that further inquiry should be instituted, and that the house should be enabled to judge whether the charge was true.or.false. Mr. Gilpin could only repeat what he had already said — that an offaibad 'been made to him, tending to bias his political conduct; that he could not trace them to an agent of the Conservative party; and that he had not intended to pursue the matter further ; and was surprised that a gentle man, in the position of Mr. Stanley, should require him to give 10 the name of alady under such circumstances, which. he, without hesitation, declined to do. Mr. Palk, in reference to. the charge made by Mr. Stanley, that the late election had been improperly influenced by the Conservatives, called upon him for a proof of the chargé:, . • . . Mr. Clay thought such a matter , ought not to be treated seriously; if such an offer had been meant in earnest, it would not have been made to Mr. Gilpin. After some remarks from Mr. Brady, the matter dropped, Mr. Crawford asked the late _Secretary . for India if he was aware, when he proceeded, on Thursday, the 21st of April:last,' to 'receive and adjudicate upon the tenders invited to be sent in for the. spared. True, two of the boats were washed from the davits Indian loan, of the fact, that the Austrian ultimatum, to Sar dinia had been made known to her Majesty's Government on the previous evening by .a telegram from Vienna, and also by a written communication from his Excellency the French Ambassador to the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, as the market was greatly - influenced by the last news, it ought not to be withheld at such a time. Lord Stanley said that neither himself nor any one else engaged in the negotiations of the loan nor in the Indian department, were aware of the intelligence respecting the Austrian ultimatum, until the tenders of the loan were finally adjudicated. This was done at one in the afternoon. The ultimatum was communicated for the first time at a -Cabinet Council held at four on the same evening. Mr. Henessey asked Sir J. Pakington what steps the late Board of Admiralty had taken, with reference to the com plaints which had been submitted to the Board, respecting the treatment of Roman ,Catholic Sailors in the Royal Navy. Sir J. Pakington replied that he had written to Lord Derby on the subject, of the late memorial addressed to him, admitting that Roman Catholic Sailors were not upon the same footing with soldiers of the same religion, and that they ought to _be so placed. He further said that the majority of the complaints were well fcrunded, the impend ing change of the Government only prevented his conced ing such points as could fairly be allowed. Mr. Newdegate warned the House that this was but the first of a series of combined attacks upon the Established Church, against which it behoved them to be on their gUard. Mr. E. James asked the Attorney-General if it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to bring in any measure to remedy the' delay which now exists in the trial of causes in the Matrimonial and Divorce Court, and to direct his attention to the- arrear of causes now existing in that-court. The Attorney-General said the actual business now before the court was not to be taken as a proof' of what it was to be hereafter, as many of the causes now under trial referred to circumstances which occurred many years ago. It was, however, in contemplation to give additional sttength to the court. The motion for adjournment till Monday was then agreed to. ' On the motion for the second reading of Newspapers Bill, Sir G. C. Lewis said that he should not oppose the' mution, reserving his opinion on several points, especially that doing away with the registration of newspaper proprietors. The bill was then read a second time. The Jury Trial (Scotland) Act Amendment Bill was also read a secund time. Mr. John Locke obtained leave to bring in a bill amending the law relative to weights and meaures, The House then adjourned at 6.15 p.m. MAIL NEWS.--There is still no news of the over-due Calcutta and China mails. On Thursday, a deputation of the Catholic Clergy and Laity had an interview with Lord Palmerston on the subject of prisons and workho u s es .

ISI °FULLER:4 TIMES ()FFICE, SATITILD/LY, 9 A. 31 MR. COBDEN AND THE. CABINET Mr. Cobden has declined' to accept the seat in the Cabinet which was reserved 'for hint at the formation of the present Administration. ...... The Post says that Mr. Cobden came to the conclusion that the consistent purposes of his 'public life will be best promoted by . his remaining an independent member of Parliament; in which capacity, however, there is reason to expect that he will give a friendly support to the present Administration. The Times remarks that the Liberal party will hear of Mr. Cobden's decision with great regret ; and asks how are the middle classes to be represented, if such opportunities are thrown away ? Mr. Cobden's presence, and that of Mr. Gibson, in the Cabinet, would have represented the substantial defeat of the old Whig monopoly of office. The man who could unite in his own person the free qualities of parliamentary orator, popular leader, and cabinet minister, would be no insignificant personage at a time like the present.. Aa a member of the Cabinet, Mr. Cobden's opinions would carry with them great weight. Even though he might be outvoted by his colleagues in the long run, it is in the cabinet that the incubation of measures takes place, there it is that the leading idea is originally started, amplified, modified, or denied. • The laming Post announces that the• vacant office of President of the Board of Trade will be filled by the appointment of Mr. Milner Gibson. The cabinet will thus remain composed of fifteen members. THE NORTHERN TIN2S; SATURDAY; JULY 2 If 5,59 THE WAR IN ITALY. At Paris there is an impression that the severity of the losses on both sides in the war will' increase the prospects of any pacific diplomatic intervention that may be contemplated. The Paris correspondent of the Post telegraphs that the King of Sardinia has refused all dictator- ship or protectorate in the Pontificial States, and will confine himself to sending officers charged with the maintenance of good order, and to satisfy certain exigencies of public opinicin, without in any way with the rights of the Pope. interfering THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA • The Times correspondent at, Vienna telegraphed last night, (Friday) that, the Emperor will probably stay iti Italy. The Minister for Foreign Affairi has just left Verona. - FINANCES OF THE SMALL GERMAN STATES. The Times states the house of Rothschild, at Frank fort, has taken a new 5 per cent.

The cause at present is unknown, but supposed to have originated near Tomb-street. At two o'clock this morning the fire was still raging furiously with no apparent hope of its abatement. COMMERCIAL. .The Funds opened with 'a strong appearance, owing to the continued rise on the Paris Bourse, the favourable revenue returns, and the declaration of neutrality reiterated by ministers. After attaining a fresh rise of I f per cent., however, Consols became dull in the afternoon, and the last' quotations were k per cent, below those of yesterday. In the other departments of the Stock 'Exchange the late rise is very well maintained. In the Discount Market the choicest paper was taken at 21 per cent. Preparations are now bem ,, made for the bills maturing on the 4th (Monday). A further sum of £20,000 in Australian gold was taken to the Bank to-day. A fresh parcel of about £40,000 in Rusiian gold came to hand, and .was , taken for transmission abroad. Daily Hews City Article, .Friday Evening.

THE JESUITS AT MILAN A letter from Milan, of the 25th ult., gives some details of the movement which had taken place in that city against the Jesuits : " The evenining before last the people of Milan made a threatening demonstration against the Jesuits, who, after having•been kept away •from the eity .by Mgr. Aisruch, a German ArChbishop, were recalled in 1852, and 'protected by an Italian one, Mgr. Romilii, who recently died. The . people were much irritated against the boly, whom public rumour accused of keeping up a secret correspondence with Austria; and they would, in their fury, have broken. open' the doors of the convent, but for the intervention of' some Piedmontese carbineers, French gendarmes, and the• national guards.. A search of their house was, however,... ordered, and there is reason to believe that papers of a cora, Promising character were. found there, since on the following day a decree was issued, expelling them from the country. This decree is, moreover, in conformity with the laws of 'Piedmont, from which country the Jesuits and the Dames du S.acre Coeur were ordered away in. 1848. On that very day the convent of the Jesuits was empty, but in the.middle. of the night a National Guard, wko was posted at some. distance from.the house, saw one of the fathers, dressed in plain clothes, go to the door and put a key into the lock to open it. The national guard asked him what he was doing there, when the answer was, I am entering my house,' What are you going to do there ?' asked the other. The father replied that he was going to say mass ; but the national guard thought the most prudent plan was to put the pocket and wa lk th e pr i est off to the gti own It is thought that several of the o th er mem b ers es k t e u y r e. in of the body have doffed their Jesuit dress, and aro concealed in Milan." in view arrangements which would involve great sacrifices i to Austria, and which ; consequently, cannot yet be proposed, I but which the farther success of the French will no doubt' cause to be specified.

Mr. Cra.ven, vicar of the place: Some five or six-weeks ago, Mrs. Tomlinson died, and the husband, within‘a fortnight or so,' removed to, Sutton, near this town. TOnilinson had a son by his former wifb of the name of Webster, who was apprenticed in the village as a shoemaker, with .Mr. Thomas Harrison. Report says that the lad and his father were not on the best terms - that, in short, the fdimer hid been treated with marked unkindness. However. that may be, it is quite certain-that Webster Tomlinson entertained great affection for his stepmother, and that this was in. a great measure re turned; for-she supplied him with- most ofhis little necessi ties, as lie lived with his master, and altogether behaved to him in the kindest manner. Webstees visits to his father's house naturally brought him in contact with- his step mother'S•nurse, and there seems no reason •to doubt that a warm affection sprang up between them. They.were in the habit of repeatedly walking together, and after it had trans pired that the young woman had contradicted the marriage that was at first spoken of, they were looked . upoivas lovers. After the death of the second Mrs:. Tomlinson , the airl Johnson went to reside with her cousin,_ at Great .Cowden, another village near Aldborough. Webster Tomlinson was 18 years of age, and Anne Johnson- was either 17 or 18. Some friends of the yuuth had attempted to persuade him that his ' connection with the' young Woman- would never bring happiness to either of them, but the acquaintance was kept up with the customary devotion, repeatedly drawing _down the remonstrance of the youth's master. On Friday last, both of them , were seen together in the evening!' Webster was . a lad of shy and reserved manners, but he was not observed to be more so than usual on this particular day. On the other hand, the girl was less chatty to her friends, but no observation was made until afterwards. There is no doubt they passed the•evening together. Between eight and nine o'clock they passed the shop of •Mr. Thompson, grocer, and the girl bought half an ounce of tobacco, while Tomlinson remained outside. From thence they proceeded a little way to the north of the village of Aldborough. Some where about half-past nine o'clock the foreman at a farm house saw them, and we believe between eleven and twelve the farmer himself was disturbed by 'the • loud• harking of his dogs: as though some persons were loitering about r, nothing more was heard of then morning, as an old man' named , Nightingale was proceeding to the sea§kle to folloW his avocation of gettitiggravel and cobbles, his attention was articles of female - annaret laid on the sand, out 6rliriv, sundry of the tide, and nearly opposite what is called Raime's pasture. These articles included a mantle, .a couple o skirts, and a crinoline. His suspicions 'ere, at aroused, and on lobliinz• aboUt hd iaiv , to his horror -the bodies of two persons in the w . . distance., They were being dashed 'about kr the receding tide, in what is locally called the "Group { " that is to sav, between the two sand-banks occasioned by the action of the sea. Unable to remove them, he went for assistance, and then the bodies were drawn to land, and proied to be the two young people of whom we have - been speaking. Their resolution. to, die together was proved - by the remarkable circumstance that they were tied tog;ether.by the neck, the handkerchief which united them being , twice round the throat of the girl. They had been dead some hours. She was in her - ordinary attire, with the exception of the articles found under the cliff ; her bat, however, was nowhere to be found, Wing probably been carried away by the sea. YOung•Tonainson was in hiS ordinary clothes, with the ex ception of his cap, which, we believe; was subsequently picked up. at Mappleton. - The bodies were taken to Mr. Gawthorp's, the Spa Inn, and an . • inquest was held by Mr. Iveson. The evidence adduced merely bore out the circum stances as. we have detailed them, and the jury thought fit to bring a verdict of " Found drowned."*—Eastsrn Counties Herald. -...., 1 ,1,.._____..-.. THE BANK OY LONDON. In-the case of the Bank of London v. Tyrrell, in the Rolls' Court, London, on' Friday, Sir John Romilly gave jndg ment. It is considered to he an important case, involving as it does a large amount of money, and : the names of Sir John Shelley, Bart., M.P., the Chairman of the Bank of London ; Alderman Sir: Henry. Muggetidge, Mr. Benjamin Scott, the Chamberlain of 'the City of London and Mr. Tyrrell, a gentleman holding a high position in the City of London, and others. The case . having been heard on previous days, Sir John Romilly proceeded to give judgment. It appeared that Mr. Tyrrell, who is a solicitor, was one of the founders iu connection with • Mr. Benjamin Scott, the ; Chamberlain of the City of London. As soon as the scheme was conceived, and some few preliminaries arranged, Mr. Tyrrell applied to Sir John -Shelley, Bart , M.P. for Westminster, to become the chairman. To this proposition the lion. baronet appeared to have had no objection, for he at once accepted the proposition, and was asked to name another director. Proposals were pqt out for the formation of the company, and it soon appeared that it would prove a well supported and successful undertaking. Mr. Tyrrell had at the outset acted in the capacity of solicitoNto the com pany, and when it 'was . legaily formed he was apPointed in due form, all the acts hehad done in his individnal' capa city having been confirmed by an -entry to that effect made in the books of the bank. Prior to this a Mr. Reed had been a party with other "adventurers" to the pnrehase of the Hall of Commerce in Threadneedle-street, ,and when the bank, was formed Mr. Tyrrell induced the' cotnpany to purchase it, he having previously secured a heavy interest on it in connection with Reed, thus snaking a large profit of it when the bank took it off their hands Reed kept the 'matter secret, and the bank had no knowledge that Mr. Tyrrell was making any profit out of the transac tion, but when they discovered what 'had been done; they called upon him to refund on the ground that he was their agent, and had no right to make such 'a profit. Mr. Tyrrell denied the agency on the ground that he could not be an agent to a non-existing company, which was the fact when he entered into the negotiations for the purchase of the property with Reed. The learned judge held'that Reed would never have relinquished certain rights- he had in favour of Tyrrell had it not been that Tyrrell was the legal adviser of the bank, and would induce that company to take the premises off • their hands, enabling both of them to reap a large profit. He held that as this was the case, and that- as Tyrrell was. clearly theagent of the bank, he must , aceount to the company for all the money he had received in connection with the Hall of Commerce over and above , that which ho could legally charge as their solicitor, and , he must make an Order to that effect. With regard to the,nnsold part of the 'property, he would make an" order appinst. Tyrrell for that also if the directors' of the bank required-it-, but perhaps the bank would. not insist upon that, considering the circum stances of the ease. Sir H. M. Cairns- said he would con sult with his clients, and mention the matter another day. SirJ. Roneilly said that of course the • directors of the Bunk of Londoa must be paid their costs.

Failing in this,• he shouted burglary, as loud as the depressed state of breathing organs would admit, bet this proved a blank also. He next tried what an alarm of fire would do, and although he cried that all the houses in the street were in a blaze, the police in Scam Schaohtz !would have heard' Min as soon as those in Whitechapel. Necessity being the•mother of invention, it occurred to Mr. Plant that if he called for the police to come and take " two pennorth" with him, that he might possibly be heard. He tried—he called' "Officers, officers, here is plenty, of drink, will none : of you , corrie and take a gill ?" The words were not.well out of his mouth; when he was surrmindedsby a quarter of a hundred' (egg count) of vigilant men, batons in hand; ready to slay all before them, btit when , they, found that they had. been hoaxed, duped, disappointed, and " sold," they did' nearly slay both Mr. Plant and Mr. Carey, who was dancing the Catch-eye catch- you.-on his body ! In reply to Mr.. Mansfield, both gentlemen said they were going home after their night's work, and knowing each other very well, they thought they would amuse them, selves a bit, but they. had no more animosity to cools other than the, blessed , babe that's not born. Mr. '.llansflad inquired of tho hridewell-keeper if the gentlemen were drunk? and that functionary .said they were very Inca infused (drunk) indeed, and his Worship ordered them to pay ss. each.

BARE FACED, PLUNDER.—WiIIiam Prichard and John lievingston, two coal cart drivers in the,employmont of a Mrs. Walker, were charged for having stolen three.loads of coal, over two tons each . load. Mt: Muck appeared to watch. the 'case for a Mrs. Mulholland, who. had pur chased two, leads of the coals. The. facts were these. On the twelfth, seventeenth, and eighteenth May, a man named' Jiobri Gladstone, who is. the. keeper of Messrs. Brombow and Haydock's coal-yard,. in Crown-street, sent the prigoners with the coal, to Messrs. Horsfall's steel and iron works, and the prisoners returned, producing a ticket If 'tr.
