him doing any injury, and as he (constable) was getting
him out of the hou'e he was kicked very severely by him.
The female prisoner was lying on the top of the man to
prevent his being taken into custody. The female slapped
his face and pulled his hair.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST AN UNCLE.—AL-
LEGED RAPE.-Mr. Frederick Clark, described as an ac•
countant, but slid to be a retired grocer, of Canonbury,
Islington, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with commit-
ting a rape upon his niece, Adelaide Elizabeth Sophia
Butler, 12 years of age, living with her parents at 3, Fre-
derick-street, Hampstead-road..

, -
Mr. Thomas Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for
the prisoner, who is a respectable-looking man, about 54
years of age.
Adelaide Elizabeth Sophia Butler, the girl, said—l live
at my father's, and the prisoner is my uncle. On Wednesday
week my uncle took ms out for a walk into the Regent's-
park in the afternoon. We afterwards went to a coffee-
shop in Rathbone-place, where we had some tea. While
there he put his hand up my clothes. I told him to leave
off, or I would tell my mother. (Some evidence was here

was no one else in the roam besides my uncle and me.
By Mr. Tyrwhitt—We were in the house three-quarters
of an hour altogether.
By Mr. Beard—l told him I should tell my father, but I
did not do so, or take any notice. I have only once stayed
at my uncle's house for three weeks, and Sunday was the
first time I mentioned it to my mother. My uncle was
given in charge last night at his own house. I have got a

The boy from the coffee shop, Joseph Crossingham, was
called and said—The gentleman asked if they could go up
and wash their faces, and he sho'wed them to a bedroom,
but they were not there long.
Mrs. Sophia Butler, mother of the girl, said—On Sunday
I spoke to my daughter, who complained of illness. She
told me that she had been ill ever since she went out with
Mr. Clark, and that she had dreadful pains. I afterwards
had her examined by Dr. Davis, who said she had been
shamefully illused, and then 1 had the prisoner taken into
custody. I saw marks of ill-treatment. My daughter is
an intel igent child. I am on good terms with the prisoner.
_ _ _

Mr. Beard said the prisoner was a man holding ;
it respect-
able position in society, and was scarcely possible to be-
lieve that he would act in the way stated, and he (Mr.
Beard) was prepared with witnesses to speak of the pri-
soner's high moral character, he being a married man with
grown up sons.
Mr. Tyrwh!tt said he should remand the prisoner till to-
morrow week for the attendance of the doctor.

Bail, on the application of Mr. Beard, was taken f-r the
prisoner's appearance, himself in £3OO and two sureties in
£l5O each.

THAMES.

A HARD CASE.—A BANKRUPT BURIAL SOCIETY.—A
poor woman named Mary Macdonald, dwelling in Lima-
house-causeway applied to Mr. Selfe a few days since, and
stated that she was the widow of John Macdonald, formerly
a soldier in the BGth regiment of Foot, and for many years
a pensioner, who died in Chelsea Hospital on Friday, the
3d of January last. On the Ist of October, 1817, a burial
society for the benefit of the widows of Chelsea pensioners to
assure the payment of £5 on the death of a member, was
established at the Pension-office in Tower-street, Mr. Mills
of that establishment being the secretary. The society was
called "The First Eastern Division Chelsea Pensioners'
Burial Fund," and the contributions were 2s. per quarter.
Her late husband joined the society at its commencement,
became a free member in 1843, and regularly paid
his quarterly contributions. The last, a sum of 25., was
paid by herself on Dec. 31 last, four days prior to her hus-
band's death. On applying to the secretary for the £5 to
which she was entitled by the rules, he said the society was
broken up, and gave her a sovereign only. The applicant
produced her contribution book to prove that 2s. a quarter
had been regularly paid for 15 years.
This morning, Howland, 89 H, one of the summoning
officers of the court, said he had made inquiries of Mr.
Mills, the secretary of the Chelsea Pensioners' Burial
Society, who said the accounts of the society were audited
in December last, and a balance of Bd. only was all that the
society possessed, and that the bankrupt state of the society
was owing to the many deaths among the members
last year, and the consequent heavy demands on the society,
that a committee was formed, and it was suggested that the
contributions should be increased to 3s. per quarter to meet
any demands that might arise, but the suggestion was not
adopted.
Mr. Selfe asked if the society was enrolled.

Howland—lt was not, sir.
Mr. Selfe said he was very sorry indeed for the poor
woman, who had paid in fifteen years £6, exclusive of the
interest on the money, and had only received £l. The
tables of the society must have been very badly calculated
to lead to the results stated. As the society was not an en-
rolled one he could not grant a summons, but he could not
help observing that it was somewhat extraordinary the
secretary should have received 2s, of the poor woman on
the 31st of December last, when he knew the society was
bankrupt and unable to meet its engagements.

THE REVISED CODE-LORD S 7.

LEONARDS' _RESOLUTIONS.

The following are the resolutions in regard to
the revised code of which Lord St. Leonards has
given notice, but without fixing a day :

1. That it is inexpedient altogether to exclude religious
subjects from the examination.
2. That the new system is based upon results. No result
is more important than the general aspect and condition of
a school, which therefore should be encouraged and paid
for as a result.
3. Writing of itself is a most important branch of learn-
ing in national schools, and should therefore be encouraged
and paid for upon its own merits. For writing from dicta-
tion a small additional sum might be given. The heading
in the code is "Writing ;" the thing required is " writ-
ing from dictation."

4. The requirements in arithmetic in groups 111. and IV.
are beyond the ordinary capacities of the boys and girls to
be examined in those groups, and should therefore be
moderated.

5. Although arithmetic is required for girls as well as
boys, yet girls do not require the same extent of knowledge
on that head as boys do, and distinction, therefore, should
ex by age is
altogether inadmissable; no school ever was or ever can
occupation.
6. Grouping be made between the sexes. Girls, besides, have daily to
learn plain needlework, so important to them throughout
life, whilst
the
no
purposes corresponding o f
examination
be carried on upon that system ; and the examination
should be regulated by the actual state of the classes and
up boys
g forhav e
arrangement of the schools. Centuries have proved that
schools must depend for their efficiency upon the spirit of
emulation amongst the children—on their industry and
capacity. Age devoid of that spirit, but with idleness and
want of capacity, would excite ridicule if placed at the head
of a school.
7. Age cannot be admitted, as proposed in the code for
the groups; because in national schools many children of
11, 12, 13, end 14 join the schools at all times without a
knowledge of reading, writing, or arithmetic, sufficient to
qualify them even for the lowest class, yet the code would
them in the highest placegroup. The exaltation of in••
competent children because they were old, and the dis-
placing the competent children because they were young,
would in fact degrade them all, and greatly grieve their
parents, and would have a tendency to break up the schools.
8. The trial of the examination according to the pro-
posed groups upon a village national school, as shown
by the annexed papers, goes far to prove the necessity of
revising the grouping before the revised code is called
into action,

At the Atlantic Telegraph
Company's meeting
yesterday the report was adopted. Hopeful views were en-
tertained, and it was stated that Lord Palmerston. would
receive a deputation on the subject nut week.
