GIIoTTO PASSAGE RAGGED AND INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL.

On Saturday the annual onsetiug of the friends
end supporters of the Rang- d amid Industrial School and
Refuge tor Destitute Bova and Oirls, Grotto.nlace, was
held at the New Lecture Doll, Edward's-street, Portman-
square. Mr. W. 0. MAXWELL, in the absence of the irl
of Soaftesbury, was called to the chair. T.ie report of the
committee fur the past year was read. After giving a
favourable picture of Om progress of the charity during the
yell., it recommended an extension of the accommoda-
tion afforded by the refuge. Twenty lads had been lodged,
boarded, and educated, the average duration of whose stay
was nine months; in most cases they bad been sent, as
occasion offered, to the colonies, apprenticed to the sea, or
otherwise provided with situ:diem in the colonies. Eight
had been sent to Australia, four to Canada, three into the
nurchant !service as apprentie c, and three as domestic ser-
vants. One was apprenticed to a shoemaker; three only had
left of their own accord. Most satisfactory reports had been
received from those who were sent to the colonies. Twelve
young men and boys had been sent out r emigrants, six by
the funds of the 'togged School I:nion end six by private
subscription, their outfits having been liberally provided
for from the funds at the disposal of the committee. The
total number sent out amounted to 78. The program of
the industrial school was also satisfactory ; the products of
the industry of the children W.ll disposed of as
occasion offered. The report spoke favourably of
the progress made in the day and evening school. The
committee acknowledged the liberal support gives by the
Ragged School Union. The Shoe-black Society had
worked satisfactorily, and la had been received from
their exertions. The receipts during the year amounted to
6821., the expenditure to 6851.7 s. The debts and liabilities of
the committee amounted to 1./W., and they earnestly soli-
cited the siapprt of the charitable to clear eff this amount.
The report having been adopted,
A vote of thanks was then poured to the noble chairman
(the Earl of Shaftesbury having entered the meeting, and
taken the char during the proceedings). who, in acknow-
ledging the compliment, expressed his satisfaction that the
institution was able to effect so insets goad. Ile knew no
institutions which deserved greater public support ;for they
were the means of conferring the greatest benefit on society,
by withdrawing the young fr..m haunts and scenes where
they were sure to be educated in vice and crime, and instil-
ling into their minds rein/lima and moral ider:

SWINDLING EiTkAORDINAIIY.—At the Dover
quarter sessions, on Friday, the lion. William O'Brien
Fitzgerald, alias William Bennett &then, underwent his
trial for obtaining various sums of money to the extent of
1470 i. from a gentleman named Payne, a solicitor at Dover,
under fraudulent pretences. The cage excited very great
interest, and amongst those on the bench was the Right
Hon. the Earl of Carlisle. The prisoner had the appear-
ance of a foreigner, sad was well attired. His wife claimed
the title of Lady Emily Fitzgerald, and represented that
she was the widow of Count Eltz—that her mother was
related to the ninth duke of Norfolk, and her name was
Lady Ann Isabella Howard, and that her father was
General William O'Brien Fitzgerald, of the Guards. Such
statements were false. The prisoner was formerly a
member of the Stuck Lacking.. Some four or five
years ago the prosecutor was residing with his children
at Eyethorne, and while there he became acquainted with
the pri-oner and his wife, la the course of last August ho
tee, seed a letter from them. Both were confined in a pri-
son at Pau, in the south of France, at the base of the Py-
renees. The latter stated that they had fallen into an aw-
ful predicament, from the negligence of their agent, who
had failed to remit them 3,000“ ; that they had the misfor-
tune to loss 1,800 francs on their journey ; and that about
4001. would s.:t the in right. The prosecutor proceeded to
the continent, and found them prisoners, as they had de-
scribed, in the prison of Pats. He took instructions front
them there as to their family connexions. They stated that
Linty Emily wee the daughter of Lieutenant-General Sir
William O'Brien Fitzgerald, formerly of the Guards, fie.,
and that they were known to the Reel of Carlisle and the
Duke of Sutherland. The Sutherland children, she said,
visited her mother's, but, in consequence of their marriage
not being sanctioned by Lady Emily's parents, the friendly
intercourse with the Sutherland family had fallen
Lady" Emily added that her husband's
soother was the Princess Camaglioni. They had been
conhned in prison more than twelve months, having
been denounced as swindlers. Finding they were suf-
fering great misery, prosecutor paid 4.101. for their debts,
and 2401. as security to the Court of Appeal for their ap-
pearance when required. Ile pleaded for them at the
Court of Appeal and obtained their liberty. Ile then
brought them to Dover, and supported them. They then
asked the prinecutor for 40/. to go to the north of England
to see some relations, when they would soon get some money
I from them to repay him. The money was advanced, they
went away, and nothing more was beard about them. Their
reprisentations about being connected with high families
and their agent were discovered to be untrue, and in the
I coarse of some wren or eight months they were splice.
heeded at Barnard Castle, near Durham. In the prisoner's
hoe was a letter Elated July, 1850, from the Earl Powie to
Lady Emily, which had contained loot. sent to their relief.
The Right lion. the Earl of Carlide gave evidence that his
family were unacquainted with the prisoner or his wife,
and that their representation of being related to the Nor-
folk family was perfectly false. hlr. Addison addressed
the jury for the prison, r, and the Recorder having summed
up the jury found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner said
he was innocent of the charge Ile could have put WI PP
questions to the noble lord who had been examined which
would hare readily acquitted him of false representations,
but he refrained from doing so for the sake of Ludy Emily's
family. The prisoner was sentenced to transportation for
seven years.
