Miles Simpson, silk manufacturer, occupying rooms in Albert-
street, stated that on Saturday last he locked up the premises
at three o'clock when all was safe. On Sunday morning he

to Mr. Thoma

quarter

.
;owed a communication from the last witness, in cons

quence of which he went to the premises of his employer,
when he found that an entrance had been effected through
a window, and that several bundles of silk warps were
missing. He at first thought that the value of the property
stolen would be about £lOO ; but since then he had ascer-
tained that the value of the missing goods was about
£l4O. Access had been obtained to the premises by the
thieves crossing the river. Inspector Maybury, of the de-
tective department, stated that, on Sunday evening, accom-
panied by Inspector Buckley and others, he went to the
house of the prisoner 'Walker, who is a silk manufacturer,
at Collyhurst, near Manchester, and has twenty looms at
work. He told Walker that there had been a large quantity
of silk warp stolen from a mill in Albert-street ; that the
silks were of blue and black colours, and a quantity was
boiled off and in a wet state. He further told Walker that
he was charged with having received the stolen silk that
morning, and asked him for it. He said, " Well, I did re-
ceive something, and there is a part of it there," pointing to
a bundle on a chair. Witness looked at the bundle, and
said the stolen property was not all there. Walker replied,
" No, the other part is at my son-in-law's house." The
property was found accordingly in the house of the son-in-
law, which is distant from that of Walker about 300 or
400 yards only. Walker said that certain parties
had brought the goods to him, and that 'he had
advanced £l2 upon them. The parties charged with
stealing the property were apprehended, two in one house
and. two in another, at four o'clock on Monday morning.
Mr. Brown was re-called, and identified the goo Is produced
as the property of his employer. All the missing has been
recovered except the boiled-off silk. The prisoners were
remanded till Thursday.
BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON A FEMALE. —At the City Police
Court, yesterday, a person named john Watson, was placed
before the magistrates, charged with having committed an
unprovoked and brutal assault upon Mrs. Billman, who
keeps a stall in Smithfield market. Mr. Francis Robinson,
solicitor, was for the complainant ; and Mr. Rigge, solicitor,
I •

for the 'defendant. It appeared, that the Complainant,
Mrs. Mary Ann Billman was the wife of Mr. Edward
Billman, fishmonger, Smithfield market, and that the de-
fendant was also a fishmonger somewhere in the same
neighbourhood. On Tuesday last, the defendant was fined

by 'the magistrates for assaulting a person named Littlewood,
in the service of the complainant, and on the following day,
(Wednesday) he went to the complainant's stall in the
market,'where he used the most abusive language to her,
threatening, that if he found her husband, he would be his

butcher, and eventually taking hold of her by the hair of
her head and assaulting her, although she was considerably
advanced in pregnancy. The case was clearly made out,
and the magistrates fined the defendant in a penalty of £5
and costs, or in default, one month's imprisonment, with
an intimation from the bench, that if he ever came into that

court again in_ a similar charge, • he would either be

prison under the recent act, or committed to take his tra.
at the Sessions, and that they hoped, if sent to that tribunal
the recorder would make an example of him.

A GRATEFUL NATION.—A wronged man I have
been—more wronged than this world tells of, for ever the
public good has guided me in suffering as in action ; but when
falsehood is in vigorous activity, with encouragement and
support from power; when even from the judgment seat
insolence and oppression are dealt forth, the dignity of human
nature gives a right, without imputation of vanity, to avow
good services. To me also as an inspired truth has come that
passionate burst of eloquence with which Charles Fox repelled
foul enmity. " There is a spirit of resistance implanted by
the Deity in the breast of man proportioned to the size of the
wrongs he is destined to endure." The spirit prompts me to
vindicate a claim to better usage. I have won victories, sub-
dued a great kingdom by arms and legislation, governing so as
to enable a million of human beings to enjoy life and lift their
heads in freedom. I have opened a vast field for commercial
enterprise by the Indus, augmented' the revenue of the Indian
government by millions ; and in a moment of imminent peril
saved the Anglo-Indian Empire from mutiny more formidable
than ever before menaced its stability. The return has been,
twice to drive me from high and .honorable positions, and all
but proclaim me a public enemy. In parliament vilified by
men without truth or honor; out of it libelled, and from the
bench with vulgar insult refused protection against slander, I
leave my actions to history,—Sir curio israpier,
