TURKEY.

The journal des Debate haa the following from
Constantinople :
It is known that, some months ago, the Turkish autbori-
, ties ordered that nimbi on their arrival should be visited by
the quarantine agents, in order to ascertain if the lists of
the crew and passengers were exact; so that M every boar

tho iamb, of the vessels, in spite of capitulation.* (which
ought to be more strictly maintained than um), and of the
sanitary tegulations, which expressly interdict the Turkish
autherides from entering French ships. Complaints on
the subject were made from all parts to the Fronde
embassy. To the violation of treaties and regulations
were joined the vexations of all kinds which them visits
occasioned. Prejudicial delays wen awed; and there was
indecency in allowing women who might be on board to be
subjected at any-hour of night to the inspection of subal-
tern agents, mast of whom were unqualified for their deli-
cate minion. The marquis de Lavalette demanded of
the Porte some time ago that these measures should be
abandoned. Evasive replies were given to him. At
leagth, a few days back, the Ambassador declared to the
Turkish government that, after waiting patiently so long,
he was determined not any longer to allow treaties to be
violated to the prijudios of the honour of the French flag,
which ought to protect our ships; and that he would call
On the commander of our fleet in the Levant, which was
'mimed at Smyrna, to second him. The Porto was
obliged to yield to this energetic protest, which was based
on the most indisputable right. Immediately orders were
sent to all the quarantines that the measures complained of
should cease to be executed on board French ships.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCING-LANE, SATIIRDAY MORNING,

There has been rather more Steadiness in the colonial
markets this week, and some articles show improvement in
value. Sugar has been more freely deal:. in, and former
rates have been obtained. The sales of coffee have gone off
rather heavily, but without much alteration in prices; the
native sorts of Ceylon, however, have declined fully ls. per
cwt. Large sales of spice have been held, which have gone
off with spirit. Nutmegs have advanced above 2d. per lb.,
and pimento has risen id. per lb., but black pepper has
again declined about id. per lb. The tea market maintains
former prices, with not quite so much activity as last week ;
nevertheless, the dealers are free buyers of all qualities not
held up to full rates.

SMITHFIELD HAY MARKET.—THIS DAY.
Mr. E. J. Davis reports the trade heavy, at the following
quotations:—Prime meadow Hay, 784. to 844.; interior,

METALS.—Mr. Moate's circular states that the
iron market, with the exception of Scotch pig, has main-
tained the same firmness, and makers continue to be fully
supplied with orders at full rates. The demand for rails is
unabated, and is likely to remain fully equal to the supply
for a length of time. Scotch pig iron, owing to the forced
sale of several thousand tone, has dropped about 109, per
ton since last week. There is scarcely any for sale in this
market at the prices quoted, vie., 625. 6d. caSh fr,t mixed
numbers. The market is very unsettled, and a reaction up-
wards is expected. Spelter is quiet, hat steaol at 201. is.

FRIDAY XVININO.
The railway market opened without animation,
but as business progressed, and it was found that
sales were not pad, whilst the bears continued to
buy back, a lral set in, which was maintained to
the close of business. The chief business was in
bitnchester and Sheffield stock, which was decidedly
better.

In French lines there was a marked recovery from
the late fall, the chief influence being exercised by
large purchases made on the Paris bourse yesterday.

generally regarded u not innocent of these opera-

TURKEY.

The Vienna Gaulle contains intelligence from
Constantinople of the 20th ult., according to which
Admiral Prince Mcnzikoff, the Ruasian Commis-
sioner, had arrived at Constantinople. His mission
concerns the still vexed question of the "holy
places," and the Porte has resolved to propose the
submission of the whole dispute between France and
Russia, on the subject, to the mediation of Prussia.
The Vienna Gazet'e should, from its official charac-
ter, be exempt from error on this topic. The
King of Prussia has of late years maintained the
best possible relations with the Porte, and, moreover,
stands well with his relative Nicolas. But nothing
has yet transpired to show that a quiet and honour-
able solution to the difficulty would answer the pur-
pose of the Czar.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Sir Robert W. Carden, upon takins the chair, yesterday,
fur the Lord Mayor, said he thought it accessary to make a
few observations upon the subject of the reported proceed-
ings of the day before in the Court of Aldermen. It would
appear. from the words attributed to him in the discussion
upon the question proposed by Alderman Wire, that be
might be supposed to have included in his condemnation
of the course pursued by pretended brokers. the conduct of
the members of the Stock Exchange. Nothing could be
more erroneous than such a supposition. He omid not be
guilty of libelling a body of gentlemen, with wham ho-
pourable principles and liberal dealings ho had been for so
many years well acquainted, by comparing them with the
persons whom he was in the habit of denouncing in the
Court of Aldermen, for practising a system of plunder which
the regulations of the court, if strictly acted upon, would, he
had no doubt, considerably diminish, if not altogether
put an end to, end he felt the deepest regret that any mis-
conception or misrepresentation of what had fallen from
him should have occasioned a painful feeling amongst his
brethren of the Stock Exchange. Upon the repeated occa-
sions on which he had called the attention of the Court of
Aldermen to the objectionable transactions of persons who
bad sated as brokers, and spinet whom complaints had
been.Nsade in the Court of Aldermen, he had drawn a con-
trast between the characters of such persons and that of the
gentlemen of the house, and nothing could be more remote
from his disposition or intention than the idea of ascribing
to the letter a discreditable motive in any of their transac-
tions. Of the high sense of honour by which their dealings
were characterised, there was constantly recurring proof, in
the enormous amounts of money which passed between
them upon mere verbal agreements.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

Last night a public meeting of the working-classes
of Finsbury was held at the Britkh School Room•, Cowper-
street, City-road, in favour of opening tho Crystal Palace;on
Sundays. Mr. PRIDELUX. was unanimously called to the
chair.
The CRAIRMAN said they had determined to act in a dif-
ferent manner to that of previous enoetiegs, and allow any
I person who might think proper to discuss the merits of the
question. It had been asserted that the Crystal Palace
Company had furnished funds for carrying on this move-
ment; hat this he most unequivocally denied. It was en-
tirely conducted and carried on by working men them-
selves, who were advocating a step in the progress of civil
liberty. (Hear.)
Mr. C. NICHOLLS said there were men who seemed to
think that nothing can be done in the way of refinement
and morels unless it had religion attached to it. This was
not a religious question, but purely a moral one. It was
one that would require no legislation if it were not for some
old act of parliament that stood in the way. The mass of
the middle sad working classes did not go to church or
chapel on Sundays. They took advantage of ezeunion
trains, chartered their pleasure vans, and went to tea-
gardens to seek for wholesome recreation of their weary
limbs. (Hear.) And yet, because the Crystal Palace is
built to enable them to have a more noble and refined
recreation than they had at present, they were told that
religion was to be overturned and annihilated. Recreation
the people would have, whether the palace was opened or
not; and he believed that those who now clamoured so
much is favour of religion undervalued it in a way which
would be injurious to it with the people at large. He con-
cluded by moving—" That in the opinioa of the meeting
the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays would give
to the working classes an opportunity of spending that day
in moral recreation and usefal enjoyment, and would
thereby promote great improvements in the habits of the
people, producing a more moral employment of the day of
rest than is now resorted to." (Hear, hear.)

Mr. Batt/ seconded the resolution.
I Mr. DENNISON proposed an amendment in terms directly
opposed to the resolution, but the meeting expressed its
disapproval by frequent interruption,.
Mr. NEWTON, an engineer, supported the original
resolution.
The CHAIRMAN then put it and the amendment to the
meeting, when the resolution was carried with but few
disseutients amidst tremendous cheering.
A petition to parliament in favour of opening the palace
on Sundays was then adopted, and received a large number
of signatures.

1110112 AUSTRIAN EXECUTIONS IN ITALY.
The Opinione ofTurin quotes letters from Milan
elk 3rcl, announcing that three persons were to
be hanged at Mantua on the same day, namely, a M.
Speri, of Brescia, an amnestied refugee • Count Mon-
team, of Verona, and the mitred abbot of Revere,
lisithirty. Twenty-five more have been condemned
death or to twenty years hard labour in irons at
*atm ; 108 more are still under prosecution.
The court martial at Milan has set about sixty pri-
soners at liberty.
To nearly the same purpose is the intelligence re-
ceived from Venice by the Trieste Gazette.
Among the many
.condemnations pronounced by
the military commission of Vienna (says the Doha
• Popoto) we notice the following:
Anna Celzera, a young woman, aged 22, for in-
sulting expressions towards the military authorities
and the German nation, twenty-five stripes with
rods.

Placido Sivero, for possession of a subversive com-
position, six weeks of arrest in irons.
Gaetano Cisarini, Ferdinando Berne°la, and
Andrea Conati, for having sung subversive songs,
14 days of arrest in irons, and in the case of Conati
10 blows with a stick.
Pietro Guiso di Campofontans, for having held
subversive conversations, forty blows with a stick.
Francesco Tarmigioni, gentleman, for anti-political
demonstrations and subversive expressions, three
months of arrest in irons, with two days in every
week on bread and water.
The Piedmontese government denies, through its
constituted organ, that any restrictive change in the
laws regulating the press is intended.

LAND AND BUILDIAI SOCIETIES.

TO TIII =ITO& OP TIP =PEW.
Sts,-1 observe it was suggested, in the course of
lut night's debate upon Mr. Wilson's motion for a com-
mittee of inquiry into the constitution and operations of as-
surance *faces, that benefit societies should be included
therein. From my experience in benefit societies of various
descriptions, I am sure it would he haged by the members
as a source of great gratification if they could be assured by
the certificate of some officer appointed by g eat for
that purpose, or by the adoption of a set of tables published
under government sanction, that the inducements held out
to them could be realised; and when it is considered that
the incomes from benefit, building, freehold land, and other
benefit societies is little or nothing short of 6,000,0001.
sterling, it must be conceded that the matter is one of suf.
fici.nt importance to call for all the protection and care it
is possible to afford. Large as the number of member, of
these different societies is, it would be increased manifold if
the present uncertainty were removed, and the correctness
of the calculations upon which they are based were placed
beyond doubt.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Wm. Seim" a well-known begging-letter writer, was
brought before /dr. Bingham, charged with having ob-
tained money from H. G. Liddell, Esq., M.P., and several
noblemen and gentlemen, by false and fraudulent pre-
tences.
The prisoner said he was willing to admit that the peti-
tion was a forgery.
Me. Biaghem decided upon dealing with the case salsa-
marily, and committed the prisoner for the full period of
three months to hard labour.

Patrick Maloney. an Irish labourer, about 40 years of
age, was brought before Mr. Hendon, on the charge of in-
decently assaulting a young Irish girl, named Johanna
Connor.
The complainant, who appeared to be about 17 years of
age, deposed that her sister, who was a married woman, oc-
cupied • small room in a hones in Kensington-buildings,
and the prisoner also lived in the same apartment. There
were two beds in the room ; and witness, her sister and her
husband, their baby, end a brother, slept in one of them ;
and the other was usually occupied by the prisoner, his
mother and son, a boy about 7 years of age ; also the pri-
soner's sister, a young woman about 26 years of age, And
nother person, making in all 10 persons, who lived in the
one nom. On Tuesday last, about 11 o'clock, the pri-
soner, who had been out to seek for work, returned home
at the time witness was nursing her sister's child, and he
took the baby from her arms and threw it upon the bed.
His son was in the room, and he took it up. The prisoner
then threw witness upon the bed and indecently assaulted
her, and also tore some portion of her clothes. She struggled
very much, and also screamed loudly for assistance, which
brought to her aid a young girl living nest door. The pri-
soner's eon was in the room all the time, and sat by the fire
crying. She subsequently communicated with the police,
and the prisoner was taken into custody.
The prisoner asked the witness several questions, and she
admitted having slept in the same bed with the prisoner on
one occasion, and that was in consequence of her sister
having had sonatwords with her husband. There were five
persona of both acre. in the bed at that time. She had
been on good terms with the prisoner, but he took
liberties with her before. He had spoken to her about
putting the banns up for marriage, but she told him that
she did not wish to have anything to do with him, as he was
old enough to be her father.
The prisoner denied the charge.
Hr. commented upon the conduct of so many
persons of both taxes esepiog in one apartment, and said
nothing could be more terrible than the account of their
prowedins in the evidence given by the young girl. Be-
fore he came to say conclusion in the cue, he should re-
quire the testimony of the girl who entered the room in
consequence of the screams she had heard, and saw some-
thing of the affair; and he, therefore, remanded the pri-
er for that purpose.

The telegraph informs us that in its sitting on the
7th, the Second Prussian Chamber rejected the third
article of the law for abolishing the exemption from
the payment of land tax at present enjoyed by the
nobility. The abolition had been previously voted
by the chamber; the article in question referred to
an indemnity to be granted to the nobles, and this
being rejected the government withdrew the bill.

THE PANIC IN THE COURT OF VIENNA.
The following is translated from a letter written
by the present Archduke Rainer at Vienna, on the
day of Libeny's attempt, to the Archduke Albert, re-
sident at Pesth:—

FIB. 20.

Dear Albert,—ln the greatest hasto I seize my
pen to write two or three lines to you upon what has
lately happened here. On the 18th I was sitting in my
chamber reading, about half-past 12, as my Jager
shed into the room and cried, " His Majesty is
coming up stairs bleeding." I told him to get a basin
and cold water, and was running out of the door
when his Majesty entered. His first words were,
"They've tried the Milan game on me at last." I
was stunned when he showed me the handkerchief
saturated with blood, which he took from the back'
of his head. O'Donnell and I applied cold
water, and afterwards I left him to continue
the work while I went out for the nearest surgeon.
The wound extended over an inch of surface, gaped,
and bled very much. His Majesty's shirt was
drenched with blood down to the hips. O'Donnell's
handkerchief, as well as his, was full of blood. When
all was in order I ran out into the town, found See-
burger (a physician) on the way, and told Urunne
(the Emperor's chief aide-decamp and mignon).
Dionne turned as white as snow, and could hardly
As I was coming back Karl (another Arch-
duke)e came in, and was sent immediately by
his Majesty to Sophia (an Archduchess, and
mother of the Emperor). We then placed his
Majesty in the carriage, and took him to
the Bella:is. While I was applying the cold
water to his neck his Majesty told me that he had
received a shock on the head like that of a pistol
shot, and that at the moment a flash like lightning
darted across his eyes. The next moment as
he looked round he saw O'Donnell who had got a
man on the ground. O'Donnell told me that he
suddenly saw a man springing upon his Ms jeelly
with a knife, and at the same moment he sprang at
the man and dragged him to the ground. [This does
not agree with the prom verbal, according to which
Libeny was aiming a second blow when captured.]
His Majesty observed to me, "O'Donnell has saved
my life." O'Donnell had already half-throttled the
man when several people came to his aid. They
were about to strike him, when his Majesty told
them to hand him over to the guard. All was in a
moment in commotion. The lines were daft& mili-
tary possession was taken of the railway station, the
troops were consigned, and orders telegraphed for
two batteries to be sent at ones to Vienna. I hope
it ali goes well with you in Blida.

COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE ON THE

MIDLAND RAILWAY.

BRISTOL, MARCH 9.
This morning intelligence was received of another
fatal railway accident having occurred within a short dis-
tance of this city, upon the. Bristol and Birmingham branch
of the Midland Itiilway. It was ascertained that a col-
lision, which had been attended by the loss of two lives, and
the serious injury of some other of the passengers, had
taken place. The down north mail, which is due at
Bristol at 6 a.m., upon reaching a sharp .curve near the
Mangotsfield station, about five miles front Bristol, from
some defect in the engine, broke down, and came to a stand
still. The engine driver and stoker instantly got dr the
engine to put matters to rights and ascerta'n the cause of the
stoppage, and while doings°, the shock of a fearful collision
was felt throughoutj the train. It was found that au engine,
which had gone up to Gloucester in the night with the
goods train, was returning to Bristol, when not antici.
paling any obstruction on the line, and the morning being
very foggy, it ran into the mail train, which was at a stand.
still on the line, with considerable violence, completely
smashing the two hinder carriages, in which there were
several passengers. Assistance was immediately rendered
by the guards and paoisagers in the other carriages, and,
spin ceasing away a portion of the debris of the carriages,
it waa found that two of the passengers had been killed and
about four others were more or less injured. The wounded
passengers were removed to the George Hotel, Bristol,
where they received assistance.
The following is a list of the persons killed and injured :
Mr. Thomas Jones, Gloucester killed; Mr. Wm. Antill,
Gloucester, killed; Mr. James Moreton, injuries about the
head ; Mr. Bennett, Post-office guard, head and face se-
riously cut; Mr. Chas, a foreigner, severe injuries of the

SPAIN.

The first act of the Spanish Senate is one of oppo-
sition to the lioneali cabinet. In the sitting of the
2nd, it was announced that four of the new senators
were about to take the oath, when the Count de Lu-
aus rose and protested against an act which was
contrary to the regulations, as the Senate could
not receive oaths until it was definitively eon-
, stituted. The President of the Senate insisted,
alleging that ho had consulted the bureau, who
i were of opinion that the reception might take
place without waiting for the definitive constitu-
tion
of the Senate. The Count de Lucena replied,
and the discussion then assumed by degrees the
impedance of a serious question. The Count de
Vefle and MM. Hunt, Rodriguez, and Vahamonde
supported the views of the President, and insisted
principally on the point that the Senate being a
regularly constituted body, it did not require,
I like the Chamber of Deputies. to wait until a defi-
nitive constitution had taken place. On the subject
being pal to the vote, it was decided that the four
new senators should not be admitted until the bureau
had been definitively formed. A ballot afterwards
took place for the four secretaries, when M. Ruiz de
la Vega, the Marquis de San Felice., General Messina,
and M. Canter°, all belonging to the opposition party,
were ekcted.

The railway market opened flatly, under the in-
fluence of sales of the heavier stocks, especially Mid-
land, which declined, in consequence, to 731. The
general tone subsequently became firmer, the im-
provement in Consols, amongst other circumstances,
inducing purchases against " bear" accounts. Lon-
don and North Western and Great Western remain
the best supported of the leading stocks, the latter
remaining scarce for delivery. No pressure was,
however, felt from to-day's " buying-in," and few
names were posted for stock overdue, but as dealer.,
are in the main more or less oversold, the market is
quickly affected by any advance of the funds.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN WARNER.—This gentleman,
so well known for his inviation of what was popularly
termed thi. " long range," died very suddenly this week,
baring twin a day previously in the apparent enjoyment
of perfect health. It appears that recently Captain
Warner was very sanguine of coming to some arrange.
mint with the Turkish government for the use of bis in-
venting; and whether the excitement arising from this
expectation had any connexion with his sudden death, is
matter for conjecture. We regret to bear that there is a
widow and Wit n children, as ter as is known, without any
provision. It is not yet ascertained whether the "secret "
of the invention is lett in deceased's papers; but he usually
declared that it would he. The rank of Mr. Warner was
that of Master in the Royal Navy.

LIVERPOOL, Dac. 7.
CLOWN COUST.—INTOIN If t. SALON MORMON.

Thomas ropeland was placed at the bar for the wilful
murder of Richard Sunderland, a police officer, on 'the Ist
of November last, at Liverpool. From the deposition of
several witnesses, it appeared that on the day in ques-
tion an election of Aldermen took place for the
borough. At Shaw's public house in Cavendish-street,
where there were a number of voters, a mob of about a
dozen assembled, and threatened that if they did not get
drink they would break the voters' heads. In consequence
of the excitement among the crowd, two of the voters
went for the assistance of the constabulary. On th, it arri-
val they went to the opposite side of the street, when they
kept shouting and hissing. The prisoner was observed to
take a prominent part in the mob. lle was heard several
times exclaiming, " they must have drink," and " we won't
let the car go' —referring to the car which the
voters had stopping on the outside of Shaw's house.
The crowd was very soon dispersed, however, and Welsh,
one of the police, followed prisoner up to the corner of
Cavendish-street, shoving hint and telling him to get home.
At the corner of this street prisoner became very furious,
when Welsh arrested him to bring him to the Bridewell.
Prisoner made a sudden dive under his arm, and struck
Welsh on the back of the head, at the same time making
off. Welsh pursued him, followed by Sunderland (the
deceased) to a court where he resides. On issuing through
the room on the ground floor, prisoner was observed lifting
a large knife off the table, and running up stairs. Before
he got to the top of the stairs, Welsh had overtaken him,
and a scuffle ensued, which lasted for some minutes.
Deceased then came to his assistance, and they endeavoured
to get prisoner so far as the front door, holding him by the
throat, arty n he put his right hand into his trousers
pocket, taking therefrom the knife and stabbing
the unfortunate man in the groin. Deceased exclaimed,
" Oh, " and then fell. lie was removed to the Northern
Hospital immediately, when death put an end to his suf-
ferings in about ten minutes after.
The prisoner was defended by Mr. A'kinson, who ad-
dressed the jury in an eloquent speech on his behalf.
The jury retired, and after an hours' consultation re-
turned into court with a verdict of " Manslaughter."
His Lore:ship in passing sentence said that the prevalence
of the use of the knife in Liverpool required an awful
example to be made. The sentence is that you, Thomas
Copeland, be transported for the term of your life.

SCHOOL.

-

On the Gth instant, at the Cheltenham County
Court, George John Mickenright, aged 13 (by his father, a
clerk in a solicitor's office), sued Mr. Andrew Livingstone,
the drill sergeant of the Grammar School, and Dr.
Humphreys, the head master, for two assaults on the 2-sth
of October and the Bth of November last. The damages
were laid at 4 guineas. The assaults complained of were
floggir.gs administered by the drill sergeant, under the
directions of the head master. The first consisted of twelve
stripes, inflicted with a riding whip, for quarrelling with
some of the boys belonging to Cheltenham College, with
whom the grammar boys seem to have been at feud. The
second punishment was for throwing a cracker in
the fire during school time, for which he was ordered
six stripes. The boy, however, refused to take off his coat,
flung himself on the ground, and gave the sergeant (as he
stated) four or five violent kicks. The Doctor then said,
" For his obstinacy give him eighteen, sergeant." The
result was that the boy's back was, as described by one
witness, "lashed from the neck to the waist, and had the
appearance of newly-cut meat with a thin skin over it.
It was in a dreadful state. Tue skin, however, was not
broken ; there was no blood." The boy was confined to his
bed the next day and spat blood. Another boy who had
also twelve stripes on the first occasion, said that he had a
fit the next day. For the defence it was pleadel that the
whipping was only a reasonable and moderate chastisement.
Witnesses coo nected with the school described the sergeant
as a very kind man and universally beloved by the boys.
It was also stated that Dr. Humphreys was averse to flog-
ging, and that there was much less corporal punishnieut in
the school than usual, considering the number of boys and the
excellent state of the discipline. The judge (Mr. Francillon)
decided that the whippings were assaults in law, and must
carry damages. He must soy he di•approved of the 11'.F•
gings by the drill sergeant, and thought, although the
master might have a rieht to delegate his authority to
another, it ought to be delegated to au educated person. He
had no doubt that Dr. Humphreys, in what he had done, bad
been only actuated by good motives, and that the error
committed was an error of judgment only ; he trusted the
decision in this case would not operate injuriously either to
himself or his aM,csol, hut, under all the circumstances,
judgment must go for the plaintiff for four guineas, the
amount claimed.

The proceedings occupied nearly eight hours.—Ch, /(C5

AUSTRALIA.

Papers have arrived with dates--Sydney, the 19th
of June; Melbourne, the IS!h of Jane; and Adelaide, the
6th of July. The Sytlnt y Herald says goods were being
offered freely. " Our importati,ns continue heavy, and
at the preseat rate of consumption tar in excru of the de.
mend." The later private letters also describe a tendency
to decline, anal buyers were apparently t eery day be.
coming less willing to operate. The pruilutliveness of the
gold fields of New South Wales had, however, considerably
increased. The mincs at the Oct ns RUIC I.l,evrise yielding
largely, and new deposits were from time to time dis-
covered. The prices of stocks and share, at Syuney re-
mained steady. Gold was at 75a. per ounce ; wool, ls. Bd.

Ja rea Joh* Da an eccentric individual, wearing his
ltair a...d be ta a wait remarkable fashion, was charged
with err.iing a disturbaum outside his fathees house on
Mon,.. night.
The iirisoner, who it is stated has occasionally repre-
sented tinsel, to tie Jesus Christ, was charged at this court
a itew weeks hams when it was thought he was insane,
but the prison surgeon's report entirely removed that im-
pression.
George Turner Dow said the prisoner was his brother,
and came to his lather's house on Sunday night, and again
on Monday ingot, and demanded his wife, who was then
living apart fri us her husband at his father's 12, St. An-
drew's hill, Doctor's Commons. The wife went out to pri-
soner and told him she would not live with him, but he
continued to knock at the door and abuse his father, and
created such a diMurbanee that a mob soon collected, and
witness was obliged to give him into custody.
Prisoner-1 went to demand my wife, and they had no
right to keep her front me. I demanded her under the
laws of God ..n I my marriage rights, and it in so doing a
crowd collected, I could not help it.
Alderman Cubitt—Judging from your extraordinary ap-
pearance, it does not require any great stretch of imagine-
uoa to believe that wherever you show yourself people will
atop to gaze at you. If you will make your appearance so
conspicaous you must take the consequence.
Prisoner—lt is my religion and my belief for which I
have always been permeated.
Alderman Cubitt—lug have committed an offence and
rendered yoaself amenable to the laws, and I cannot let you
tears this court unless you promise not to go near or annoy
your father again.
Priee.ner—l'll not make any promise against the laws of
God, for the Scripture says, " Ye shall make league with
no m .n."

Alderman Cubitt—l am not going into a theological dis-
cussion with you here, and as you are not inclined to make
the promise I require of you, 1 shall have you bound over
to keep the peace for three months, and further call upon
sou to find one sure, in 201. to do so. I regret being
obliged to sand you us prison, but if the surety be not forth-
coming 1 have no alternative.
Prisoner—Of course, sir, you must do your duty. You
arc sworn to do it against the laws of God. You can do
as you like with me; I am en honest hard-working man,
and am ready to be penitcuted by you or any one elsi..
The prisoner was ultimately removed in the vea to the
prison at Holloway, were he will pass the next three months
' unless he puts in bail in the interim.
