WORSHIRATREET.

BIiNGLADT AND Homisenv.--On keturday last, a young man
mooed Woe. griffon, was brought before Mr. Twyford, chargtd
with the commission of a burglary and robbery, In the house of
Mr. Hart, No. 1, Lower-place, Islington.
Ann Thomas, Mr. Hart's servant, deposed that the night before,
her master being from home, she sat up for him, and the other
inmates of the house were in bed. Her master not having returned
at every late hour, elle went up to her room and laid down. About
three o'clock in the morning she thought she heard a knock at the
street door, and on going down stairs she found the place in con-
fusion. The door of the back parlour was standirg wide open,
and many of the things were displaced. She was then about to
enter th• front parlour. but seeing the prisoner then.", she held the
door and 'eked him s bit he was doing there? He begged her
pardon, but she, greatly terrified, ran up stairs and opened a
window and gave the alarm. The prisoner made his way out of
the kitchen window, through which he had effected his entrance,
but was taken at the distance of about 100 yards, by Price. a parish
officer. He was then without shots, having left them in Mr.
Hart's kitchen.

tin searching the prisoner at the watch-house, a pair of kfr.
Hart's spectacles were found in his pocket, and a trinket watch
taken front Alns. Hart's work-box, in the back parlour, was found
concealed under the knce•band of his small-clothes.

A phosphorus box was afterwards found ien the spot where the
prisoner was taken. lle was fully committed for trial.
Shortly before the alarm was given, and the prisdner apple-
handed, Price the officer, and a watchman, observing two men
lurking about Mr. Hares house, stopped arid searched them, but
Ending only a few trifling articles upon them, set them at liberty
again. During the examination of Allison, the watchman in-
timated to Price his suspicion that the men were then at the pablic-
house next to the offieet, having probably come there to learn the
fate of their companion. The officer went into the tap-room,
where he kaptasitly recognised and accosted them. They strongly
denied Isrellog peeviously met him. Price, however, on searching
one of them, found in hts pocket a farthing. and a piece of sealing
wax, which he lied found there on their first rcncontre.

They were taken beture the Alsgistrate, who committed them for
three months under the I'olice Act, there being nothing to directly
implicate thern with Wilson in the felony.

ISIORAL EFFECTS OF THE CHRISTIAN EVIDENCE SO.
CIETY,—OR Saturday a dandyish looking youngster. named Hus-
band, was brought up to this office, from the watetrhouse of St.
Nary, Whitechapel, charged with haring assaulted hie fuller, and
repeatedly sad violently threatenesktee3o h,Ro seam bodily
The father, a respectable-looklng 'man, addressed the
tote, and said, that the object of his application was not . isswieh
to punish the prisoner for the present assault, as to procure their
protection ngainat the execution of the threats which he had held
out, and it possible to reclaim him :ram certain pursuhs in life
which he feared, if not abandoned, would lead to a dishonourable
eed.

Tbrk Worships exprmed a alb!' that be would enter into a
fuller detail of the businem

The unhappy parent, who appeared much affected, gave the
following detail :—He said, that from the prisoner's earliest in-
fancy he had endeavoured to give him the best education his
avould admit of, and lost no opportunity of impressing on him
the principles of religion and almighty. His instructions were at-
tended to, and promised to reward all his trouble, until within a short
time past, when, unfortunately, all his past labour was rendered
abortive, and all his fatherly wishes blighted, by his devoting his
entire time, and spending every nixpercc he coati collect, at those
coffee-shops and public-houses where religious and political, or re.
ther irreligious and seditious, subjects, are discussed, under the
presidency of (isle Jones, and, as he denominated him, the anti-
Cheintian evidence society man, Taylor. fly his attendance on
those debates, his mind became so perverted, and his morals so
completely undermined by their pernicious tendency, that, would
yon believe it, said the wretched parent, he asserts that there is no
difference between our Saviour md alahomet, and that of the two
the divinity of the latter was more to be depended on, inas-
much as his followers consisted of a greater multitude. He
had frequently endeavoured to prevent his attendance at these
Injurious discussions, by withholding from hits these pecuniary
supplies which even at these enlightening assemblages is made an
indispensable requisite ; but this attempt was fruitless, as in his
(the applicant's) absence he used, by means of threat,, to compel
his aunt, en old woman, of eighty years of age, to give him the
needful, and, indeed, on one occasion, when she delined to
comply with his wishes. had the unmanliness to violently assault
and knock her down. When the father had concluded, the son,
who had been listening to him with a coolness that was quite dis-
gusting, denied the main part of the accusation, and was proceed-
ing to enter on • long list of imaginary grievances., and an advo-
cacy of his free •genet•, when he was interrupted by the Magis-
trate, who, after lecturing bins on the criminality and undutifulneas
of his conduct, and the probability of what, if persevered Ir, must
be its termination, informed him that it' a repetition of it was
brought under his crornistance he would send him to a residence
where he might make shre of not seeing either his political or reli-
gious incructors, Mows. Jones and Taylor, for three months,
utiles . indeed, it might so happen that they would pay him a
compulsory visit.
The charg2 of assault was given up, and the father, not wishing
to press the business further, the young offender was discharged.

ATTEM."T TO BREAK OUT OF NEWCATE,
DUBLIN.

IVednesday morning, at an early hour, it was discovered that-a
breach had been made in the wall of the corridor, on the ground
floor of Newgate. A. man nsmed•Bytne, who was confined. pursu-
ant to the sentence of the Recorder's Court, and whose term of im-
prisonment Will txpire in a few days, was left in the range to clear
the cells; a emtvict named 111. Coatelloe, who is under sente,ce
of transportation for burglary and robbery, contrived to conceal
himself in a room where Byrne was engaged, and when they were
locked in Ceritelloe told him the businesa he was intent upon, and
commenced his operations with a large iron bar, which had been
placed across the kitchen chimney, to prevent t ny of the prisoner.

what means this bar was obiatned„ or that It was even missed ; but
it has been ascertained that only one bar remains in that particular
chimney, nut of three that should have been there. The father of
the prisoner Byrne having called to vi.it hi. son, learned the circum-
stance, which led to the investigation and subsequent discovery of
the nttampt.. . . .

The breach that lic.d been effected was about four feet In leng►h,
and in a very tt!tort time the opening would have been completed.
The examination which took place on this occasion enabled a
Magistrate of Police to go into a minute survey of the state of the
gaol : when it appeared that the stone steps leading to the different
evlls have got into such a stale of decay. thu the iron balustrade
could be loosened without any extraordinary exertion a and that
auy person intent upon escape could thus readily area himself with
a formidable weapon. The wall also on that side of the prison ap-
peared to he ctremely rotten, and not at all calculated to LIS WIT
the purposes for which it was originally built.
