COMMITTAL OF THE FEMALE IMPOS-

TErz AT CANTRIEBURY.

CANTERMITRY, Monday.—At the St. Augustine's
petty sessions, before Edward Foss, Esq., and other
county justices, the rival of Alice Gray, Mary Eliza Tre-
maine, with ntany other aliases, has just been committed
to prison for two months, on the charge of obtaining
board, lodging, and money under false pretences, at the
parish of Ospring,e, on the 7th inst.
From the statement of Superintendent Waker, of the
Kent constabulary, and a pile of letters which he had
received since the remand of the prisoner, it appears
that for the last fifteen years she has run a career of
imposition, under ♦arious characters—that of a con-
vert to Romanism being a favourite one. Her real
name is Tremaine, and she is the natural daughter of
a gentleman of the name of Chippendale, who placed
her at a boarding school in the north of England,
from which place she ran away when hardly 15 years
of age, and immediately commenced a course of life of
so gross a nature as to cause her friends tp discard
her. Her mother was burnt to death. In 1843 she
obtained access into the house of Major A. A. Young,
of the Coast Guard, at Sheringham, Cromer, while his
family were residing at Whitmore, Staffordshire, where
she remained for six weeks, when the imposition was
discovered, and she left, and proceeded to Liverpool. In
1846 this imposter was taken to the office of the Men-
&city Society, in London, under the name of Mary Hal-
lawap, and represented that she had been a nursery go-
verness, but was in great distress, in consequence of
having been thrown out of employ. Inquiry was insti-
tuted, and it was ascertained that she was one of the
greatest adepts at fraud in the metropolis. Two years
afterward-, in IS4B, she was found apparently in a fit in
Liverpool, and plaoed in a seminary by a lady residing in
that town, where she subsequently committed a felony,
and was imprisoned for nine months in the Liverpool
Borough Gaol. Some little time afterwards she made her
appearance at Darlington, where she was found in the
streets in great distress. Joseph Pease, the quaker, hear-
ing of her c3ndition, placed her in a good school, where she
remained for about nine months, and then ran away.
In 1852 she succeeded in imnosing upon a Mr. Rogers,
at Norwich, and a Mrs. Wiseman, at Tivetshall, near
Stole, Norfolk, and was taken before the magistrates,
but disebargesi, as the offence could not be clearly made
out against her. She had then, according to her state-
ment, run away from her father's house, for the purpose
of being married, belt had missed her suitor. In October
of the same year we find her in custody of the county
police at Bedford, on charges of obtaining money under
false pretences, in the name of Matilda Jane Callaway
nook, Lyle, Dale, and Chippendale, In July, 1853,
she was sentenced to fourteen days in Windsor gaol,
having obtained things under false pretences, represent-
ing that she had just arrived from Australia, and was
in search of her sister, a member of the Baptist deno-
mination of that town. At another period of the
same year, the ♦icar of Trumpington plaoed her in
a private asylum, with the view of effecting her
reformation, when she confessed to a great deal
of deceit and imposture, and pretended to be
desirous of abandoning her then mode of life. This turned
out, however, only another of her schemes of imposition.
The early part of 1854 found " Mary Eliza" at Dover
and Canterbury, running away from her father, a bap-
tist, who wished her to join that persuasion ; but she
rather inclined to the church of Rome, and was then in
search of a convent. She then wended her way to Der-
byshire, and under pretence that she was the daughter
of Dr. Hoek, of Leeds, obtained access to the house of
Mr. Smedley, near Matlock, and was treated very kindly
for about three months. Ia the following November the
kindness of Mr. Pease was repaid by the impostor repre-
senting herself as his daughter, obliged to leave home
because she wished to be married to a gentleman not be-
longing to the Society of Friends. For that offence she was
imprisoned in Northallerton House of Correction for three
months. During the past summer her "ladyship" was
boarded and lodged in the house of a London missionary
for three months, when she suddenly disappeared, taking
with her several articles belonging to her benefactor.
After visiting Oxford, the workhouse, the gaol, and seve-
ral private houses, "Mary Jane" proceeded to Henley-
on-Thames, from which place she was sent to Oxford
Gaol for throe weeks. It would appear that she then
wended her way to Canterbury. In addition to the
above facts, it may be stated that she has been placed in
a great number of asylums and schools.
The magistrates ordered her to be imprisoned with
hard labour for two months as a rogue and vagabond.

THE LORD ADVOCATIC OV THE PARLL4-

MENT AND THE WAR.

A soiree was held in the Assembly-rooms, Leith, on
Friday, which the Lord Advocate end several other gen
tlemeo attended, by invitation. The chair was occupied
by Provost Taylor, of Leith ; and there were also on
the platform several of the magistrates and councillors
of the burgh, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Mr.
sheriff Loean, the Rev. Dr. ,Stevenson, the Rev. Dr.
Harper, and other clergymen, Mr. Gibson Thompson,
Mr. D. Thom, Mr. W. Lindsay, &e. The hall was
tilled by a most respectable assert-Naze.
The Lotto ADvocATE said he had been requested to
say a few words on the " Responsibilities of the British
Parliament," a topic which was somewhat grave and
weighty at a meeting like this, which had been convened
for social, and not for political or electioneering
pur-
poses. Redid not mean to make a constitutional spt cob
en the privileges of Parliament. He would rather
look at the position of a representative in relation
to his constituents, as at the present day and the pre-
zent crisis of affairs. He had been four years in Parlia-
ment, and ho could assure the audience that it was a very
neculiar and remarkable assemblage. It had many sin -
eular and curious characteristics which no body of Inert
who ever met possessed in an equal degree. There was
'n the atmosphere which pervaded the whole place that
before which meanneot and hypoctisy could not stand ;
and there was in it a sense and instinct of honour which
withstood at once any attempt at double dealing or false-
hood. There was a touchstone there. One could not say
where it was ; but so sure as the false metal rung, su
curdy was its resonance heard in that house. There was
ao place where pretension or hollowness was more epeetlily
cted than there. It was a place she e comparatively
Ability was second to bone ;ty, and where a man who was
honest and earnest in his purpose, and had made himself
,naster of his sulject, was always certain of a hearing,
.c here the more flashy, and probably more clever, man,
who intruded himself into matters with which he u as but
superficially acquainted, or with which he had nothing
to do, would not command an audience for a quarter of
en hour. Therein he thought lay the wonderful influ-
ence of the House of Commons, or rather here was the
true reflex and reverberation of the free government of
this country. It showed how truly there percolated
through the constituencies of the true genuine ore of
free constitutional government., and as long as that tem-
perament belonged to that house, thovgli it might fluc-
tuate in men of talent and thought, having the genius
of Pitt and Fox in one generation, and comparatively
little ability in another, yet as tang as there were these
true instincts in the representatives of the people, so
long, they might depesid upon it, free institutions and
free governments would flourish in this land. The Lord
Advocate then proceeded to characterise various classes
of members, as for instance, those that spoke to the re-
porters, the members who spoke on everything (and he
he had only known one man who spoke on every thing
with a knowledge of everything, namely, Joseph Hume),
and the members who feared their constituencies, of
whom he hoped lie was not one. His lordship then re-
ferred to the subject of the war. He said a year had
passed since last he had been among his constituents at
any public demonstration. A t this time last year, Alma,
flalaklava, and Inkerruan were past, and on the back of
these glorious but atiil calamitous days there came that
long dreary winter where wee heard from time to time o
those gallant troops wasting under an enemy more inglo-
rious but mere disastrous than Russia ever was. A year
bad passed since then—a year of great events. Our army
then stood before Sebastopol (it was now within it), and
in the prospect of a second visit from the icy hand of a
Crimean winter. He believed they did not congratulate
themselves too soon in saying that, in every essential
respect, the position of the army would be entirely re-
versed, and that our countrymen in the Crimea would
spend their Christmas in comparative plenty. He did
not think, though a member of the Government, that
he claimed too much for Lord Palmerston and Lord
Panmure when he said that the state in which the troops
now found themselves was such as to entitle these
noble lords to the gratitude of the country. (Renewed
applause.) There were some men of talent and respecta-
bility—but constituting a very small minority—in the
country, who thought there were no reasons for ourgoing
to war, and that we might have allowed Turkey and
Russia to fight the battle out, and they have pointed,
not without reason, to the horrors of war and to the de-
solation it carried into many happy houses. This was all
very true ; but might not this war be the very means of
keeping the invader from our own shores ? For years no
foreign foe had planted his foot upon this land, just be-
cause the world knew we were able to protect ourselves;
but were we to throw away our means of self-protection
on mere speculation as to the pacific inclinations of the
world, we should run the risk of horrors too dreadful to
contemplate. He believed we were not a day too soon
in'ientering upon the war, for if we had allowed Russia
to take Constantinople, to augment her fleet within the
Black Sea (of which she would then have been the un-
controlled mistress, to improve her navy as she had im-
proved her artillery), and to strengthen her fleets
Aft Ake had done tier if the one should be'
as unknown in this country as the other was—and if then
at some convenient time when, perhaps, our relations
with the Continent were not so agreeable as they ware
now, she had come down upon our shores, where would
we have been if we had reduced our war establishments
to the level which some pacificators some years ago
would have wished ? When he heard men speaking of
this war as of a bootless expenditure of human life, he,
on the other hand, felt that we were now fighting on
more advantageous terms to ourselves the very battle we
should have had to fight if we had waited till the Rus-
sians had landed in the Forth or Thames. And though
no statesman, no lover of his country could for a mo-
ment wish that war should continue, for it was fraught
with many evils, still he would say this, that if we
had not struck the blow when we did it would soon
have been too late. He wished no evil to Russia, for Russia
contained many valiant, many eminent, many well in-
formed and educated men ; but he believed we were new
fighting for all that was near and dear to us, for our own
liberty, and for the liberties of Europe. Therefore,
dreadful as the struggle might be, and the shorter the
less dreadful, the more we put forth our strength now
the less we should have to do it hereafter. He rejoiced
to think that, though we had sustained many hardships,
and though many hardships might be to come, the na-
tional spirit of the people had not flinched an inch, or
liven way one jot. He believed the feeling of the
people was still more intensely now than at the first
that we must carry on the war with vigour and effect.
He had spoken of the responsibilities of Parliament, and
when he looked back on the past session, he was free
to say that he did not regard it with any great amount
of complacency. His feeling was that the people of this
country had shown a clearer and better discernment in
some respects than their representatives. He quite agreed
that Parliament should always be jealous of Government,
and more especially when they were engaged in carrying
on a great war ; but, on the whole, it appeared to him
that Parliament had not raised this country, in tke estima-
tion of Europe by the way in which it had dealt with this grat
question of the war. That was not a subject on which he
liked to sneak ; but, as he was called to speak upon it
among h;tt constituency, he thought the best way was to
say plainly what he thought about it. This time last year
there was a very great outcry made as to the state of our
troops in the Crimea, and there was, unhappily, too great
reason for the representations given of their condition,
which first, he believed, had transpired through the chan-
nels of the press, but he had always thought that a most
unworthy and most disingenuous use was made of these
unfortunate facts. There was, no doubt, a great deal to
require amendments in the various departments, every
one knew that before the war began ; but WAS it possible
to imagine that we could transport such an enormous
number of men to an unknown region, without find-
ing that a great deal of the most necessary things had

had had in some matters a great deal of intercourse with
that noble lord, particularly in business connected with
Scotland ; and in all his dealings with him he had found
in him nothing but the most
- - open, straightforward, and
candid conduct ; and he (the Lord Advocate) was satis-
fied that, whatever went wrong with the administration
of the war during his Government, his only anxiety and
wish was to carry on the war with vigour and effect.
(Cheers.) No doubt great disasters came upon us ; but
what he called the ungenerous and unjust application of
these facts was this—that there was a kind of political
trading carried on in the misfortunes of the country. It

good fortune not to be subjected to those particular
causes of maladministration, had come better off, that
would have gone a far way to show that their statements
were well founded ; but he did not believe that there
was the slightest difference between the two armies in
that respect. He believed that the Crimean winter had
overtaken both unprepared, and unprepared because there
were no means of making preparation. It seemed to him
unworthy of a great nation, and not the spirit in which a
groat contest should be conducted, that on the first re-
verse we were not only to lose heart, but to turn round
and accuse those who had the conduct of affairs with im-
becility, weakness, or connivance with the enemy. He
did not think the people generally went along with that
feeling, and he thought nothing could be more disastrous
to a great enterprise than that, before we had planted
our standard on the enemy's citadel, we should fall out
as to who was to blame for this or that reverse. The
Lord Advocate then referred to the power and influence
of the press, and to the responsibility that rested on
those who wielded its power. He said he could not
help regretting to think how much individual character
had been assailed—how much the very character of the
nation itself for some time had been lowered—by writ-
. ings in the public press on the subject of this war. The
instance of Lord Raglan was sufficient iu itself to justify

that observation. Sir Colin Campbell had but lately
been made the eulject of a dieperaging article in one of
the public prints, and in a very few days the imputa-
tions there made had to be unreservedly retracted.
The general now commanding in the Crimea had the
one day been the subject of disparaging, remarks, an
the other the subject of an elaborate euloginrn coming
from the same quarter. When he remembered all these
, thinks, 1 e ti.o lit this cotn';ry should Leep the swill
tenour of its way undisturbed by these eternal fine
tuations of sentiment and opinion. They were ussfn.
guides to show how the wind blew, but it would neve
do if the character and reputation of our offictre and
soldiers were to denend on the voice of so very fluctu-
ating a tribunal. He read the other day that Kars had
been taken owing to the supineness of our War Minister.
Our War Minister could not, he thought, be accused of
supineness. Ho bad been at his poet from day to day,
and. he had borne 71! against the crushing anxieties of his
position with a spirit that ho thought 'deserved well of
his country ; and it was most unjust for any writer to
make this statement, in total ignorance, as we yet were
of the circumstances in which Kars fell, or as to whether
it could have been relieved or not, or who was the party
that could have relieved it. But so it wee, the
moment
that there was any chance of a little pnblic rumour run.
ning in the direction against the War-office because of
some little di-aster, up came this straw to see how the wind
blow, the chance being, however, that in a short time all
this would have to be unsaid. This was not tho way to
manage a great war, to begin at the first reverse to abuse
our generals and statesmen ; neither was this the spirit
of the peephe, for he did not think that among the great
body of the people there was the slightest sympathy
with those fluctuating and premature expressions of
opinion. • Pa sing from this subject i e might have a'•
lulled to many questions of domestic interest, were nat
these all absorbed in the greater topic of the war. In
regard to education, he had had a long battle to fight.
He would not say who had been right and who wrong
in this matter; he would only say this— that in the edu-
cation of the people, which was but a corner of the
great social subjects which were preying on our atten•
tion, the enemy he found the most difficult to encounter
was indifference. If he could only arouse his country.
men to a sense of the absolute necessity of doing some-
thing in this great work, we should soon hare an educa-
tion scheme, whether more in favour of the established
church or of the dissenters but few would care, could we
only ,ecure to every chill in the country a common
education. (ipplause )
The proceedings then terminated.
