WORSHIP-STREET.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Mary and Elizabeth Welland, two young women who
get their living by needle-work, were charged with pawn-
ing an old quilt for a shilling, which belonged to Dede-
rici Feeoff, a German, the keeper of a house in which
they lodged. The poor young woman stated that they
were driven to starvation before they pawned the quilt,
and that they had been without work for some weeks.
Their famished appearance bore out the truth of their
assertion, and Mr. Norton made an appeal on their be-
half to the German, who doggedly insisted that they
should be sent to gaol. Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, then
attempted to intercede with the obdurate man, but with-
out success, and he humanely paid the money for the
women. The German then asked how he was to get a
few shillings rent due to him from the young women, and
left the office in a very sulky and insolent manner on
hearing that he must apply elsewhere.

SUNKEN VESSEL IN THE NARROW PART

" Sir,—With reference to the memorial of the
Glasgow Emancipation Society, dated the 25th of Oc-
tober last., on behalf of the negroes who took posses-
sion of the " Amistad," and were subsequently carried
to New London, in the United States of America, I
am directed by Viscount Palmerston to state to you,
for the infoirnation of the above-mentioned Society,
that his Lordship has directed her Majesty's Minister
at Washington to interpose his good offices in their
behalf, in order that they may be re stored to liberty ;
and his Lordship has further instructed her Majesty's
Charge d'Affaires at Madrid to call upon the Spanish
Government to issue immediately strict orders to the
authorities of Cuba, that, if the request of the Spanish
Minister at Washington is complied with, the negroes
in question may be put in possession of their liberties.
" Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at Madrid has
likewise been instructed to urge the Spanish Govern-
ment to cause the laws ag'ainst the slave trade to be en-
forced against Messrs. Ruiz and Montez, and against
all other Spanish subjects concerned in the transaction
in question.

" I am, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant,
" W. FOX STRANGWAYS.
" William P. Paton, Esq., &c., Glasgow."
