short dark-featured young girl, who gave the name of
Rosev Nye, vas charged by Mr. Kean, the stocking-man,
15, Price-street, under the following circumstances..
From the prisoner's 'manner 'she seemed •to be riot alto-
gether right in her mind. 'The prosecutor stated that
the prisoner and other two girls entered his shop vest( r,
day afiernoon, and purchased goods to the amount of
£2 6s. She ordered some more goods, value £1 ss. 6d.
She began to make presents to. the other parties, such as
dresses, bonnets, Sze. She still said she had not not
sufficient, and ordered sonic wedding-bonnets and (Ali' r
things to the amount of nearly £4O. She said she was
going to be married in a day or two to a lieutenant
belonging to her :Majesty's ship Hastings. He made
her the bill out, and she went down to the other
end of the shop to see how much of it the other
girls would pay. She came back and said that they had
•no money, also that she had been robbed of
£3O. He then called a policeman in, and as he sus-
pected, from her manners, that she was insane, ho gave
her into custo-ly on that charge. The prisoner sairt she
• -came from Manchester on Saturda-f. The other two
girls also came on board the boat. She was with them
all day Sunday. having three -ClO notes in her posses-
sion, which her broti.ers sent her, and she missed them

Man'sfield But are you going to be married forthwith :
Prisoner Yes ; 1 am going to net married h licence to
George White, a lieutenant -on boarl the Hasting,s.—
Mr. Mansfield said it was evident that • the prisoner was
- a stray sheep, and she would be remanded for three days.
Ronnanv is A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—Francis Coffee,
a corporal of the 29th Regt., was charged by Sarah Kenny,
wife of -- Kenny, also a ruddier in the saute regiment,.
with fobbing, her d•-c„:4 18s. 2d., tWontilwav tickets, and
-a pocket-book. Mr. R. Cobb appe wed for the prisoner. It

had rec.sived 'about £2 for washing. She paid for
'tickets for herself and hu:band, and placel them and the
£4 18s. 21. in her poc,;ket-sbao'r.. She put the pocket-
book in a small hag and inserted it in her bas Om.
The prisoner was in the same earria7,e with them, and she
fell asleep when near Liverpool. Oil bting awoke when
near Liverpool, she discavered that the poTAc-book had
=been taken out 'of the bag, and •the hex retarned
-to- her breait. The prisoner being the only person
•in the. carriage, he was given in charm The officer

• ATTEMPTED ROTITIERY 01, a 'WATCH, AND 'VIOLENT
71i.ssAui:r..—Peter .McCormick Ttil Thomas Smitii, two
-stoat-built robust-loOlting fellows, were chOr:r'efl. John
McMillan with violently assaulting him, and a't
to steal his watch. The prosecutor stat d t''
awl the prLT:. -Ts had been drinking in a •

hull said he' could not place any con!idone3 in Co• o •-,-
secntor's evidence, as he was intoxicated at the tints.--

Discharged.
Cirxuoss or Bro.ory.—Bridget Lenorbar was charged
by Patrick Mooney with the above offence—Mr. It.
Cobb, who 'appeared for the prosecutor, said that his
Worship had hid the prisoner before him before, for
ass trilting her husband and children. Mr. Mooney had
led, a life of perfect misery with her, and yesterday he.
received the happy information that she had got married,
to another man about two years ago, havinf, been five
years previous married to the prosecntor.-20ffieer 39
said, as he was taking the prisoner into custody,.
she admitted to him that her husband was sent to gaol
soon after their marriage, and whether. he died in gaol
or not she could not say.--71temanded till to-day.
Itonuesty IN A. Buo-rnEL.—Catherine or Bridget
Burns, -Mary Ann Healey or Pemberton, and Jane
Wilson or Lewis, were charged .by Robert Davis, who
said he resided at 10, oldhall-street, with robbing him
of ,L2O. Mr.-Cobb defended.—Officer 618 said that he
was called into this brothel, in a court in Albion-street,
to take the-prisoners in custody on a,charge.of robbing
hint of £20.:, He knew the house to be a brothel,-but
yesterday. the. whole of the furniture had been shifted •
out of it.---The prosecutor stated that he was a tea-

dealer. He was that drunk that he could not tell where he

met the prisoners, but he had .£2O in his pocket when he
went to bed, and he missed it when he got up next
morning. The girl he slept with was in the room when
he got up, and he said he had lost his purse. She got
him i~ from the side of a box, but there was nothing in
it. He charged them with robbing him, and the mistress
(one of the prisoners) took £3 from the girl's pocket and
-mave it to him. In cross-examination by Mr. Cobb, the
.‘
witness said he did play at cards with them, but he did
not show them any tricks or tell them that he was a gam-
bler.. lie did not show them £4 18s. before he went to bed,
or remark, that if he was robbed, he knew who to
blazne.--Mr; Cobb : Have you any friends in Liverpool,
because we don't know but what you are a gambler ?
Witness: Yes, I h ave.—Mr. Cobb: Name one ?—Witness :
Do you know Samuel lIolme?—.-Mr. Cobb : Yes, I do.—
'itness : Then sod° I. (Laughter.)—Mr. Cob b said the rea-
-son why the furniture had been sold out of the house was,
that the mistress, one of the prisoners, saW the evil she
was committing, and was d?termined to reform, and go
back to her mother.—Mr. Mansfield said that, as there
was no one to corroborate the prosecutor's statement,
and as he was very drunk at the time, his evidence,
could not be relied on. Discharged.
ROBBERY AT A FlRE.—James Feardon was charmed
by Mrs.. Hickey with stealing three pairs of stays, value
12s. The prosecutor's shop adjoins the premises of
Messrs. Buttner and Schonstadt, in Mersey-street, and
she being frightened that the fire would extend to her
-honso, resolved on taking the goods out. The
prisoner was one of the helping hands, and was walking
off with the stays when he was_ met by an officer, who
took him to the bridewell.—The prisoner was committed
for six months. •
OBTAINING MONEY BY FICTITIOUS LETTERS.—A re-
spectably attiredperson,who gave her name as Mrs. Simp-
son, but refused to give her address,was charged under the
following circumstances. Detective-officer Lanigan stated
that in consequence of information he received he went
down to the customs, and found the prisoner there
- offering letters in order to obtain money. One pur-
'pOrted to be written by the Rev. Mr. Tobin, of Egre-
Anont, stating that she was a widow with several
children. Ire asked her where she got them, and she
said a woman ga'e her them.—Remanded for inquiries
to be made.

CHARGE OF ROBBING A BURIAL SOCIETY.--John
Thompson was charged by Henry Lee, who appeared
on
behalf of the Imperial Burial Society, with robbing
e said society of 2s. 6d. Mr. Lee said the prisoner
-was a collector for the society, and there was 2d. more
on several cards that he had not accounted for.—Mr.
Mansfield : Are the persons here who paid him the
- several sums ?—Witness No, sir.—lnspector Keogh
said' officer
he had told the to have them here, but lie
had not done so. The prisoner said there were num-
ber of collectors, and sometimes they went rouanci and
got the money of the other collectors,
the andi
paid tthe it
on the Friday night. This had beencasewh
but he was not allowed until Friday to see the other
collectors.—Mr. Mansfield said, as there was no one here
to prove that the prisoner received these sums, he must
be discharged.
CASES.—Charles Miller, who was re-
REMANDED
manded "from Monday, on a charge of stealing a sove-
reign from William Murray, at Hunter's public-house,
in' Mill-street, was committed for trial at the sessions.
Michael Connolly, who was remanded from last week,
on a charge of obtaining £77 7s. from Mr. nson,
of the firm of Robinson and Co., was also com-
mitted for trial. Mr. Cobb stated that he had
advised his client to pay Mr. Robinson the amount of the
cheque. and then endeavour to find out the party that
gave him it, and bring an action against him ; but he
refused to do so.
(Before Messrs. BENN and Tonal.)
DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE.—Margaret Paton, a quietly-
attired young woman, charged one James Stoby, stone-
mason, with assaulting her. Mr. Worship appeared for
"the complainant, and stated the case. He said that the
young woman had been entraged to be married to the
defendant, and that she hadbactually left three different
situations for the purpose of being united in the
bonds of matrinion
y, but, alas ! on each occasion her
Intended proved to be a " gay deceiver." On the 6th

instant the complainant met the defendant in Pembroke-
place. They had some conversation, in the course of
which she asked the defendant to give her five 'shillings
which she had lent him, He heplieA that he had it not
about him, but if she went along with him to his
lodgings in-Hyde-street he-would give her the money..
She consented, and on arriving in -Hyde-street, she was
surprised to find that he was keeping a" woman. She
began to upbraid him, - when he turned round, struck
her,- knocked ber'down, and did her some serious bodily
harin.—The complainant 'was called to prove the above
facts.---Mr. Parker appeared for the defence, and en-
deavoured to show that it was -the woman's own fault.
She was in the habit of fullow.ng the 'defendant to his
work and exposing him—, until at he was the " rep;a-
lar laughing-stock of the yard."—The magistrates said
that the girl had certainly not been well treated by the
defendant, and there was not the least doubt that the
assault was committed. Defendant must pay a fine of
20s. and costs.

MAJOR EDWARDS ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

At a banquet given by the Mayor of Beverley, on
Friday, in returning thanks for the borough member,'
Major Edwards, M.P., after some local topics, said—
The late Government were defeated by a majority of
thirteen only, and that majority has been already swept
away by the decisions of election committees, so that in
the next session, as the numbers are so equial, it is im-
possible to say which party might be in power. But
whoever is in office, I hope that political animosity will
cease, and that all will unite in promoting the welfare
and safety of this country. There are clouds in the
political horizon in America, China, and Italy. I trust
the Government will act prudently, but energetically, in
vindicating our rights on the North Pacific coast Against
the encroachments attempted by one of the United States'
generals, and which it is. to be hoped his own govern-
ment will disown. There is much difference of opinion
as to the question of right at Peiho in the recent unfortu-
nate engagement there, but after the occurrence, Eng-
land cannot recede with honour, and China must be
taught to respect us. As to Italy, there is a cloud hang-
ing over that beautiful country we should all like_ to see
dispelled; but, I would ask, what good has resulted from
the French Emperor's invasion except to gratify his
army and the national prestige for military glory, and so
Arangthen his own position. ,Bat the foreign question
which more directly interests us in France and her Em-
peror. I ant far from wishing to call in question
•the sincerity of Louis Naneleon's professions of good
feeling to oar Queen and nation, but we must not
forget that. absolute as his power appears to be,
there is a power above him, the army of 600,000 men,
who are the guardians of his throne. • Events have
proved that it was not the liberation of Italy, but to
conciliate that army by conquest, that lie undertook the
Italian campaign. The ianumse naval preparations of
Franco—her, new dockyard at Cherbourg and others in
contemplation—cannot be looked upon by Englishmen
without anxiety and jealousy. It is therefore the duty
of our rulers to look to our national defences and increase
our navy. The anolication of steam to ships of war has,
altogether changed the system of naval tactics. This is.
a most important point., and one, I. fear, too much over-
-1 > -.1. The ohl prestige of the superiority of British

t in -her naval preponderance. It is, I repeat, no longer
a. inatt•T of choice but of necessity, and her position as a
great nation, even as an i:sdepenlant nation, will greatly
:depea,l. on this. 'But it is rot sufficient to depend on our
naval defences alone..• The. facilities of steam navigation
may enable France to throw. in a single night a power-
ful army on some ungarded part of our coast. Our re-
gular army is so limited that we mast -encourage to the
utmost our auxiliary military forces:—the militia, the
yecunanry cavalry, and the volunteer rifle corps—so that
they may,' at every point, be ready to assemble and. act
with the regular tro ips.- With such a -.neighbour as
France, our best security for- peace is to be prepared
for war.. I cannot refrain from calling your attention
to the ominous change that has recently taken place in
French manifestos. In the first years of the second
empire, when the throne was not yet well established.
non-interference was the great Imperial maxim to blind
the European nations—"L'Elnpire. eat la paix "—but
this has now given way to a less satisfactory policy.
Wherever national liberties are oppressed, there she must
go forth to deliver ! Hence she marches 200,000 men
over the Alps to deliver Italy—a bloody tragedy, fol-
lowed by the farce of Villafranca, and a confederation
under Papal supremacy! Who does not see that the
whole affair is to gratify the French- army and the mili-
tary vanity of the nation ? What country is to be the
next object of attack ? Not England, I hope. I fear.
gentlemen, I may have wearied your patience, bat- I
have dwelt longer on matters connected with foreign
policy, because really it is these that now loom chiefly
on the-political horizon. -I cannot sit down again with-
out again thanking you for the great .kindness I- have
experienced at your hands, and all the proofs of your
confidence,' which I shall make it'my endeavour to merit
as long as I live.

THE STRIKE.—This contest still continues, accom-
panied with indications that it is beginning to tell
seriously against such of the men as persist in their
I refusal to resume work. At a meeting held on Monday
night in St. Martin's-hall, Mr. Potter admitted that
the dividend paid that day at the Paviors' Arms was
smaller than usual. This shows that the supplies from
the provinces are falling off, and, with the winter setting
in, the prospect for the men is gloomy. The recent
returns of the Registrar-General prove that the mor-
tality among the wives and families of the operatives in
the building trades is excessive. In fact, there
is too much reason for the painful reflection that
scores of innocent persons and young children are
perishing from sheer want.. At the meeting on Monday
night, a resolution was passed appealing to the public for
support,—on what ground we hardly know ; and the
tone of the speakers was such as to induce the im-
pression that they themselves had not confidence in the
continuance of pecuniary aid to the extent to which it
has heretofore been given them. William Perham, a
leading member of the Masons' Society, was summoned
on Mondu to the Clerkenwell Police-office on a charge
of inducing a- number of men to leave their employ-
ment ; but, some necessary, witnesses being absent, the
hearing of the case was adjourned.—Times.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF JERSEY.—The grave has
barely closed over the venerable head of the House of
Jersey, before his successor has been also taken away.
The Earl of Jersey, who succeeded to the earldom on the
death of his father on the 3rd inst., expired on Monday,
at Brighton, The deceased nobleman had for months
past been in declining health, and early in the last
spring repaired to the south of France, but his Lordship:
only received temporary relief. 'Since his return home
he has gradually continued to get, weaker until Monday,
when he succumbed to his disease—consumption. The
Right Honourable George. Augustus 'Frederick, sixth
Earl of Jersey, Viscount Villiers, of Dartford, and
Baron of Hoo, county Kent, in the Peerage of
England, and Viscount Graridigon, of Limerick,
county Leitrim, in that of Ireland, was eldest son of
George Child Villiers, fifth Earl, and 'Sarah, eldest
daughter of the 10th Earl of Westmorland, and heiress
of 3lr. Robert Child, the wealthy banker of the city of
London. The deceased peer was educated at Christ
Church, Oxford, at which lJniversity he graduated B.A.
in 1830, and M.A. in 1837. Shortly after he attained
his majority he entered the House of Commons for the
borough of Rochester, in conjunction with the late Mr. R.
Bernal, and in 1831 was elected for Minehead. From 1832
to 1836, he sat in the House of Commons for Honiton.
