ML'TINY AMONGST THE CONVICTS AT WOOLWICH.
—On Saturday afternoon, the convicts who had been at
work during the day in the dockyard, on their return to
the Warrior convict ship, where they sleep during the
night, showed symptoms of insubordination and defiance of
their guards, by several of the gangs mashing into one of
the compartments set apart for one gang, and refusing to
separate sod go to their proper places until their grievances
were redressed. The mutinous convicts, about 130 in num-
ber, complain that the authorities have broke faith with
them, as certain periods had been fixed when, if they
conducted themselves well in the interval, they would
be seat out of this country, and ()Mein tickets
of leave on their arrival at their destination.
The time at which several of the convicts expected they
would have been sent out of the country having been ex-
ec ded, owing to the dilliculty experienced by the autho-
rities in finding localities where that class would be re-
ceived, bas been the cause of the present insubordination.
The whole of the convict guards were kept on board the
ship during the night, in ease of any outbreak, as threats
were used; and on Captain 3.1.0 u. • Stopford, act-
ing superintendent of the dockyard, being made ac-
quainted with the mutiny, he ordered the crew
of the Fiegard flag ship to remain under arms
during the whole night. The dockyard police of
the It division were also under arms, in case any violence
should have been attempted. On Monday, Captain Whitty
and several of the authorities from London visited the
Warrior, and examined several of the ringleaders, but the
result of what took place has not been made known. In
order, however, to prevent being taken by surprise, the
whole of the convict guard who did duty during the day in
the dockyard were kept under arms all night.

The Goldvnuth's Company have forwarded their annual
donation of 201. to the poor-box.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A person of military ;v1;;;;;17e with an Irish
accent, applied to Mr. Bingham on behalf of the British
remnant of " Cuban patriots," who had just reached Lon-
don in a state of deplorable destitution. The speaker said
the parties on whose behalf he solicited temporary assistance
were 28 in number, and mostly Irishmen born, but who bad
subsequently acquired the privileges of American citizens.
They hail, however, been liberated by the Spanish govern-
ment, and sent to this country by the British consul. as
British subjects. They were wholly destitute, and even
without the means of procuring nightly shelter. lie had
been requested to state their forlorn case in the hope of ob-
taining such advice as would help them out of their '
difficulty.
Mr. Bingham said if the applicants were in a state of
destitution they must apply to the relieving officer of the
parish in which they last slept, and they would then be
sure both of relief and shelter.

The spokesman said the destitute applicants would be
very reluctant to go into the workhouse. All they sought
at present wu for a little temporary assistance, to enable
them to reach Ireland or the American States.

Mr. Bingham doubted whether any parish would incur
the serious expense of sending so many persons back to
Ireland, or their places of settlement, wherever they might
be. Still less could he hold out any hopes of parishes pay-
ing for transmission to America. He should advise the
parties to apply to the American consul.
The spokesman said application had been made to the
American consul, who had positively refused to render any
assistance or sympathy.
Mr. Bingham did not think any sane human being in
this country, who knew the facts of the ease, would be in-
clined to yid,: the smallest sympathy to persons who had
been so misguided, or he would say deceived, as the ap-
plicants professed to have been. The only class likely to
sympathise with them, to whom an application might be
made with any chance of success, were those jobbers at
New Orleans who had profited so largely by the fully of the
Cuban invaders. _ _

Mr. Bingham was at first disposed to give some small
assistance from the poor-box; but, after a little considera-
tion, he said he did not feel warranted, under the circum-
stances of the case, in disposing of any part of the small
funds in the poor-box for such a purpose and to such per-
sons. The only advice he could give was for the applicants
to apply to the parish authorities, who were bound to let no
one die of starvation in the streets; unless, indeed, they
could contrive to interest persons in their behalf who were
ignorant of the zeal circumstances of the ease, and who, in
proportion to their ignorance, would be likely to display
increased seal in their cause.

The spokesman thanked the magistrate, and promised to
communicate the particulars of the interview to the rest of
his destitute comrades.

The annual donation of the Goldsmiths' Company, of
2W. to the poor-box, has been received.
Mr. Spryng, of No. 20, Little Pultency-street, Golden-'
square, made an application to the magistrate fur advice
under the following circumstances :
On Tuesday the 9th instant, a man in his employ, by
name Edward Palmer, as given in charge for having
embezzled the sum of is. belonging to complainant. At the
examination on that day at this court sufficient evidence
was gone into to induce Mr. Hardwick to remand the
prisoner until the following Fri lay. On that day the case
was further gone into, and at the earnest application of the
prisoner's solicitor, and in consideration of his wife and
family, the complainant, the present applicant, took a mer-
ciful view of the matter, and, with the magistrate's sanc-
tion, consented to Palmer's discharge. Since that time
Palmer had subjected applicant to very great annoyance by
spreading absurd reports that he had been discharged with fly-
ing colours, and that applicant had trumped up the charge
out of spite. In another instance Palmer went to an insti-
tution of which applicaut was a member, and got a vote of
censure passed upon him for daring to prosecute the man
who had robbed him. These statements tended to injure
him in she eyes of his brother tradesmen, and he thought
if such false and malicious reports were not put a stop to,
the man might circulate other falsehoods, and thus injure
him in his business. Applicant now respectfully wished to
know how he could proceed to restrain Palmer from mak-
ing such statements.
The magistrate said, since applicant had consented to
Palmer's discharge, he had no jurisdiction in the matter.
Had applicant pressed the charge against the man, he
would most assuredly have committed him for trial. He
now advised the amlicant, if the man Palmer persisted in
his present line of conduct, to go to a respectable solicitor
and put the matter into his hands forthwith.
