jamas who might be in the City
farm purpose, what they saw the prisoner looking
about, an they put some questions to him. The answers
he gave were very unsatisfactory, and the ofSoen felt it to
be their duty to take him into custody, but upon their
to do so the prisoner drew • clasp knife and
PwrOrndeeddil.he cater Gilbert oa the wrist, but the injury,
fortunately, was not of a very serious character. He was
remanded in order that some inquiries might be made
about him.
A letter was handed to the Lord Mayor from Mr. Gibson,
the surgeon of Newgate, in which that gentleman stated
that he had had several conversations with the prisoner,
and found him labouring under many delusions. One of
these was that he WWI suspected of being • Fenian, and
that he wee about to be arrested and sent out of the
country. Mr. Gibson added, in his letter, that he had no
doubt that the prisoner was of unsound mind.
The Lord Mayor said that he could not deal with the I
; question of the sanity or insanity of the prisoner,. and the
I only nurse left open to him was to commit the prisoner to
take his trial for unlawfully wounding.
The prisoner was accordingly committed to Newgate to
, take his trial for that offence.

THAMES.
Bessl,Criscourt, a young man, was brought before Mr.
Paget c with stealing various rums from a till in
tbeßruns Arms public-bouse,Wellclossequare,White-
chapel
Himry Adolph Hasleworth, the landlord of the
Brunswick Arms, aid that the prisoner lad been a lodger
in his house for some months, and in the course of that
time, and not before, he bad frequently missed cash from
the till. His suspicions of the prisoner were aroused,
and in consequence of a communication from his bar-
maid, he deposited Gs. Rid. in silver and copper moneys in
his till on Tuesday night last.
Kr. Paget hearing that another witneu could give more
direct evidence against the prisoner, requested the witness

to leave the box.—
William Skipper, of No. 40, Smith-street, Stepney,
paper-hanger, said he marked 80., three sixpences
, and
two threepenny pieces, which be deposited in Mr. Hanle-
worth's tilL Ile remained in the bar parlour concealed all
night. At half-past five that morning the prisoner came
downstairs. He saw him look at the clock, say something
in German to himself, go to the kitchen, come back again,
and get over the counter into the bar. The prisoner then
put his band into the till, took some money out and put it
m his pocket. The prisoner had a knife in his hand,
which he did not like the look of, but he was not to be
frightened by • German thief, and he laid hold of him, and
gave him into custody. He searched the prisoner, on
whom he found 2a. fijd. in pence and halfpence.
William Cowley, 175 H said that the prisoner was given
into his custody, and while the hat witness was searching
him, he said, " Here it is, Mr. Haaleworth," and banded
to him the marked money.
The evidence of the witness having been interpreted to
the prisoner by Mr. Wintjen, the interpreter of the court,
he said he wished the case to be settled, at once.
Mr. Paget—Does he plead guilty or not guilty?
Mr. Wintjen—He says he is
Mr. Hasleworth recommended the prisoner to mercy,
and said he was a person of respectableto connections.
' im-
Mr. Paget sentenced the pawner three months
prisonment and had labour.

THE PENIAN MOVEMENT.

A day or two since the carpenters, joiners, car-
vers, chairmakers, and other working men in the employ-
ment of the large firm of Messrs. Holland and tone,
Banelagh Works, Pimlico—numbering altogether nearly
400 men—having been asked by their employers whether
they would consent to be sworn in as special constables at
the present crisis, held • meeting at the works to consider
the matter. Nearly all the men were present, and several
speeches, marked by sound judgment and plain common
sense, were made, which went to show that, in the opinion
of the speakers, nothing could be more reprehensible
and criminal than the recent outrages committed by
the Fenian, but, at the same time, Gut there has been
much exaggeration as to the proceedings of the conspi-
rators. All through the addresses there ran • devoted sen-
timent of loyalty and attachment to the throne and con-
stitution of the country. Eventually, the following reso-
lution was agreed to.—" That we, the employes of Mears.
Holland and Sons, Etanelagh Works, Pimlico, whilst ex-
pressing our loyalty and devotion to the Queen and to
the constitution of our country,j and whilst severely
condemning _ the horrid outrages committed by
the so-called Fenians, believe the doings of these
misguided men to be greatly exaggerated, and
the uneasiness and alarm consequent thereon to
be greatly intensified. We therefore decline to pledge
ourselves to be sworn in as .special constables under the
present government, lest such power be used for the sup-
pression of legal and orderly public meetings. At the
lams time, we hereby resolve to form ourselves into a
special guard for the purpose of defending the property of
the firm. It was then decided by the men to protect
their employers property by relays of men—the first to be
on duty from 7 p.m. to 12.30 a.m., and the seoond relay
from the latter hour to six in 'the morning. The men
were faithfully at their stations up to last night, and will
continue to be so. The members or the firm appear grati-
fied with the anxiety of their workmen to aid in the pro-
tection of their large and valuable property.
A rigid inquiry has been made by the authori-
ties at Woolwich into the circumstances attending the two
vessels found hovering about the arsenal on the night of
the first alarm of an intended Fenian attack. It altipears
that one of the suspected vessels was the Anne looter,
from Quebec, which had • crew partially composed of
Americans and Irish. The reason of her making for the
Arsenal was that she had some condemned rifles and
anumanition ea board for that establishment, which it
was at first psowed to discharge there ' • but she after-
wards pomaded up the river to the Surrey Canal, from
whence the enummition and arms were sent down to the
Arsenal in HOWL The other suspected vessel was the
lunch osaa-eiser Beaumonier, which was found to he
attempting to moor herself to 'the powder buoy of the
Royal Arsenal, without previously reporting herself to the
ceases of the port, It appeared that, by some reciprocal
arrangesset, the French man-of-war had permission of
Ithe government to take in ammunition at the Arsenal
powder buoy ; but such an arrangement being unusual,
and occurring at • moment of sudden alarm and excite-
ment, at a time when Fenian vessels were expected, and
the Arsenal was bristling with bayonets and guns, it was
not surprising that the vessels referred to should be is-
prded with some degree of suspicion.
SPECIAL CONSTABLES IN Sr. PAUL, COVENT-
°Amis.—The magistrates, who have continuously formed
• bench during the past fortnight, sat yesterday and
admi-
mastered the oath to 355 persons in this pariah, making •

impressive address to the whole body, and expressed

a rumour was generally current that an attempt would be
made to blow up the vestry offices in which the magi,-
trates had been sitting, and after communication with the
I police authorities at Bow-street the sitting magistrates

Sir Tuos. OABIEICL then addressed the children, con-
Wasting their present condition, well-fed, well-clothed,
well-housed and cared for according to the station in life
they would probably occupy, with the condition in which
they were before they were admitted to the refuge, having
to seek shelter and rest in moms shed, house, or empty
cart. There was little prospect of the homeless child being
able to obtain en honest living, and, sitting as a magis-
trate, be bad often shrunk from punishing dishonesty
when the crime had been committed for the purpose a
procuring bread. In • population of 3,000,000 the number
of children deserted end left to prowl about the streets
must always be large, and an institution which received i
these children and provided them with jest the amount of
training and no more than they required to start them
in
life must accomplish • greater amount of both physind and
moral good than any other be knew of.
Mr. W. S. FrrtvauLui, chairman of the Ship-commit-
tee, moved, and Mr. J. Menonsoon seconded, a vote of
thanks to the chairman, which was carried amidst
uproarious applause ; and • similar compliment to Mr.
Williams, the searetary, met with equally hearty
response.
