Tn➢ SWELL MOB AT THE EXHIBITION.—John Clare
and Mary Williams, a ♦ery fashionably attired man and
woman, were placed at the bar charged with attempting to
cpmmit robberies at the Exhibition.

John Share; 16 X, said—l was on duty at the Exhibi-
tion yesterday afternoon at a quarter to four, when I saw
the prisoners in the North Court. There was a piece being
played, accompanied by a flute, and a number of persons
listening. I saw the female prisoner, accompanied by the
man, walk up by the side of a lady and stand close to the
right of her. The man then placed himself behind the
female prisoner, and I saw her place her hand in the lady's
pocket. After that the female prisoner walked away,
followed by the man, who spoke to her. I asked the lady
whether she had lost anything, when she replied that she
had not, that she had only got a handkerchief in her
pocket. The prisoners then followed three ladies, and the
female placed herself on the right of one of them, the man,
as before, going behind her. The female then placed her
hand in another lady's pocket, but got nothing, and left. I
then followed and took them into custody, when the female
dropped a pair of scissors used for cutting ladies' dresses.
Female Prisoner—lts a mistake altogether about the
scissars, I was picking my nails with them, and they fell
out of my hands.
Policeman continued—l found £4 in gold and silver upon
the male prisoner, and £2 6s. on the female, £2 of which she
had iu her hand. I found a gold watch and chain upon
each of them.
Mr. Arnold—Were they wearing them ?
Policeman—Yes.

Mr. Arnold—Openly ?
Polioeman—Yes.

- _
Mr. Arnold—Why did you take them from them?
Policeman—We always take everything from them.
Mr. Arnold—Do you take their hats, their mantles, or
their boots ?
Policeman—No. _ _ _

Mr. Arnold—Then why take anything else ;they wear ?
Have you any reason to believe they were stolen?
Policeman—l have not.
Mr. Arnold—Give them their watches at once.
This was accordingly done, and the prisoners, who are
expert old thieves, were remanded.

ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING.—( This Day.)

This afternoon a very large meeting assethbled at the
I London Tavern, at which Lord Brougham presided. His
lordship, in opening his address, said he was there that day,
after sixty years' warfare, to do battle in the cause of the
freedom of the slave. He thanked God that the inhuman
traffic in England was not now called a trade, but a
crime--(cheers)—but, notwithstanding that, Spain, who
had received so large an amount of the British
tax-payers' money for the suppression of slavery, still con-
tinued to foster and encourage it in the island of Cuba.
lb that place all the ruined nobles of Spain were succes-
sively appointed governor-generals, in order that they
might reinstate their shattered fortunes. He asked the
meeting whether such a course of proceeding did
not merit their utmost condemnation. And he
trusted the influence of that great assembly before him that
day would tend' to bring Spain to a full sense of her obli-
gations. After the noble lord had concluded a very elo-
quent speech, a number of resolutions were adopted by the
meeting, all expressing the utmost detestation of slavery.
