CRIMINAL COURT.-(THISDAY.)

OLD COURT.

These Sessions commenced this morning before the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Lainson and Sir Chapman
Mlrshall, the Sheriffs, &c.
There are between and 300 prisoners for trial.

The RECORDER (the Grand Jury having been sworn)
proceeded to deliver his charge to them, in the course of
which the Learned Judge regretted to find that the charge
of assaults upon children of tender years was upon the in-
crease, there being several in the present calendar. The
Learned Judge, after shortly adverting to several of the
more prominent cases in the calendar, concluded by ex-
pressing his firm conviction that the Grand Jury would dis-
charge their public duty with justice and impartiality.
The greater part of the morning was occupied with
swea,-ing in the Petty Jury.

IRELAND.

In our last Number we stated that a correspondence be-
tween Mr. Mo well and the Irish Government had taken
place in relation to a complaint against Major Vokes and
the Constabulary, of whom it was alleged by Mr. Mon-
sell that they had not afforded sufficient protection to the
freeholders. Lord Morpeth, in his reply to the memorial
forwarded from Limerick, says, " The following extract
from Mr. Smith's report will show that the Constabulary
were very far from remaining indifferent spectators of the
disturbance adverted to :

" Chief Constable Clements and his party instantly
pushed across the street into the crowd, and at the same
instant I ordered Chief Constable Power to .rile his men out
through the door-way, and to proceed to the spot. This
occupied about two minutes, as the crowd was t'ery thick,
and we could not easily pass through them ; and on our
joining Chief-Constable Clements, the whole of tile dis-
turbance was quelled. The whole, from first to last, lam
confident, did not hold three minutes.'"
THE PADDY 11.1`KEWS.—Of these miscreants we have
more than once spoken in recent Numbers of The Sun in
terms of execration. They are wretches who live on per-
jury and crime. One of these scoundrels, it will be seen
by the following account, has been discovered in his attempt
to play upon the credulity of Government by a pretended
disclosure of a Ribbon plot :
A PADDY M'KEW.—The Government have consented
to admit the Paddy M‘liew (otherwise Ekins), who was
confined since last assizes in our county prison, to bail. The
extraordinary circumstances of the case were as follows :
Ekins was in the police, and stationed at Carracrin,
near this town. A short time previous to the last as-
' sizes he was escorting two men from the neighbourhood of
Ballinafad to gaol. He stated that from a conversation,
and a confession made by the prisoners to him, he had dis-
covered a deep laid plot of Ribbonism, in which many
of the country people were leagued together by secret signs.
and illegal oaths. Having given this information this Paddy
M'Kert was in no way sparing in also giving down the names
of the conspirators, to the amount of forty. This valua-
ble information and discovery was instantly communi-
cated to the Government with all dispatch. Govern-
ment (not now, thank God, infested with such blood hunt-
ing underlings as heretofore employed by Lord Stanley)
suspected the accuracy of the report, and ordered an inves-
tigation. That upright stipendiary magistrate, A. Cross-
ley, Esq., and some of the neighbouring magistrates and
chief constables, held a private investigation in the gaol,
the minutes of which were transmitted to Government. A
further inquiry was ordered, some of the persons accused
were summoned, and the cloven foot of poor Paddy Al‘Kew
was discovered. Informations were instantly received against
him, and he was carefully handed over to the safe keeping
of that vigilant officer, the governor of our county prison.
Some application has, however, been made to Government
to have him admitted to bail. We do not wish to give ex-
pression to our feelings on this subject, as the wretch is to
tried at the ensuing assizes.—Roseonnizon Journal.
DUBLIN ELECTION.—A discovery has been made which
has cast utter dismay into the Orange camp, with regard to
the Dublin election. An order was issued from the Castle
to the Paving Board, giving instructions to grant both
parties every facility in their power to gain such informa-
tion from ,the books of the Board as they might deem re-
quisite. Yesterday was the first day that reference was
made to those books, and it has already been discovered
that upwards of 60 of the Orange voters have not paid
their taxes, whilst on the other side, knowing that a
petition and scrutiny would have been resort7d to, there
is not a single voter whose taxes have not been paid. It
is the general opinion that this decides the fate of the
petition, and that the Orangemen will abandon it.
Recently in Dublin there was a dreadful case of murder,
which arose from poison having been administered to the
unfortunate victim. The person poisoned was a young
woman in the service of Major Burrowes, of Collens-
town, and the person who administered the fatal draught
was her fellow-servant, ani was actuated by jealousy.
The deceased was a handsome interesting young woman,
and much regretted by those who knew her. A Coroner's
Inquest was held, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" re-
turned. The woman was apprehended and sent to prison.

HAYMARKET THEATRE..—A new drama, in
two acts, by Mr. Searle, called The Queen (f the Beggars,
was produced here on Saturday evening, and save some dis-
sent, which seemingly emanated from a party, wh►Cb, at an
early stage of the performance and during its progress,
evinced a decided hostility to the piece, was very favour-
ably received, and is not unlikely, with some necessary cur-
tailments, to become a public favourite. The story is
neither very new nor very probable, but Mr. Searle has
shown dexterity in the management of his materials.
CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S NEW NOVEL, &C.—We
are requested to state that the new edition of " Snarley
Yow ; or, the Dog Fiend," by the author of " Peter Sim-
ple," " Jacob Faithful," &c., is published this day by Mr.
Colburn of Great Marlborough-street, and may be had of
all booksellers throughout the kingdom. Mr. Colburn has
also just ready for publicathn the following :-1. Miss Lan-
don's new novel, Ethel Churchill ; or, the Two Brides ; 3
vols. 2. The Life of the great Sir Edward Coke, the an-
cestor of the present Earl of Leicester, by Mr. Cuthbert
Johnson, the Barrister ; 2 vols. Bvo.—and 3. Stories of
Spanish Life, edited by Lieut.-Col. Crauford, Grenadier
Guards ; 2 vols. post Bvo.
STOKESHILL PLACE ; OR, THE MAN OF
BUSINESS.—AIthough the sketches of high life contained
in this new novel of Mrs. Gore's have been pronounced
as some of the most perfect that have ever appeared—yet
we understand that this work is attracting, and justly so,
the attention of a numerous class of persons by qualities of
a more sterling, and of a totally different description. The
hero, Mr. Barnsley, belongs to a numerous class—by a
fortunate marriage he has risen from poverty to affluence—
his ambition is to be a great public man—the practical
knowledge he acquired in his youth as an attorney, he
volunteers to all who need his services ; hence he becomes
the " man of business" in his immediate locality—yet,
though an excellent arbitrator in the affairs of others, he
commits sad blunders when his own or his family interests
concerned. This is no " fancy's sketch," at all events ; it
were not difficult to produce a thousand originals from
real life !

In her new novel " The Vicar of Wrexhill," Mrs.
Trollope prose.•`s her readers with a series of scenes
stronger in sarcasm and richer in humour than any to be found
even in her famous " Domestic Manners of the Americans."
The object of the tale is to lay bare to derision those Dis-
senters who preach in the disguise of Clergymen of the Es-
tablished Church. The characters are various and strongly
marked. We have the sordid, manmuvring, heartless vicar
himself—his toad_eating curate—the knavish and saintly
attorney—the Jew-Christian Missionary—widow Simpson,
the lover of love feasts—the deluded Mrs. Mowbray, and
others.
