WESTMINSTER.

The person styling himself Colonel Count Dembicki,
who was charged at this Court on Monday with going
about to obtain charitable contributions under fraudu-
lent representations, the particulars of which were de-
tailed in our paper of the following day, was brought up
for re examination.

The accused was attired, as on the previous occasion,,
in a sort of undress blite. uniform, and wore some orders
;n one of his button-holes.
Police-constable Itoper;hiriingrelielited his testimony
given on the former examination, stated that the signa-
tures of the Russian, French, and Belgian Ministers on
the subscription lists found in the prisoner's possession,
with the sums (which varied in amount on the different
papers) opposite their names were fraudulent: they bad
neither placed their names there, nor subscribed in any
way.

Lieutenant Szulciewski, the secretary to the Literary
Association of the Friends of Poland, and Horsford, the
chief officer of the Mendicity Society, completed the
account of the prisoner's character. Lieutenant Szulciew-
ski said, that all that could be ascertained from the
result of the most diligent inquiry was, that the pri-
soner was an ancient forest keeper—and had he ever
served, as be had represented, in the army, there of
course would be many who could prove it. He had tra-
velled through Rome, Italy, and Spain as an impostor,
and last year, availing himself of the state of that coun-
try, went to France, but on the restoration of order he
was expelled again. The rank he then assumed was
r that of a colonel. Hors'ord stated that he had known
the prisoner between eight and nine years as a gross
impostor. He apprehended him with a woman in 1845,
in Charles-street, Berkeley-square, where they were
soliciting charitable contributions. The lady called her-
self a countess, and, at any rate, was the prisoner's
countess at that time.

Mr. BURRELL said that the case was clearly made out
against the prisoner, and committed him for three
months to hard labour.

It was stated that amongst other false representations
made by the prisoner in the course of his frequent de-
ceptions, was one that he was brother to the late King
of Poland. Several newspaper reports were produced
of the examinations of the prisoner and his wife at the
various police-courts, and an extract, printed in the
shape of a handbill, of the examination at Marlborough-
street Police-court.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Timothy Leary, a powerful Irishman, was brought up
before Mr. Arnold, charged with the following brutal
and unprovoked outrage upon a journeyman shoemaker,
named Thompson, living in Little Wentworth-street,
Whitec-hapel, and also with seriously injuring Ante
Thompson, his wife.
The wife, whose head was partially covered with ban-
dages, stated, that while in bed with her husband at three ,
o'clock that morning, sbe was roused from her sleep by
a noise on the stairs, and immediately afterwards the
prisoner, accompanied by three or four other men, burst
in the door, and rushing into the room, advanced to the
bed where she was lying, from the side of which he
seized a heavy stool, and, without the slightest observa-
tion or reason for such conduct, dealt her a violent blow
on the head with it, inflicting an extensive ga-1, from
which the blood poured in a stream down her neck.
This was instantly followed by a second blow over the
eyes with the prisoner's fist, and would have been suc-
ceeded by further ill-usage but for the interposition of
her hu:band, upon whom the assailants then proceeded
.to wreak their vengeance, and the witness ran down
into the street, where she was screaming for assist-
ance, when all the nit n rushed past her and escaped. A
constable, however, shortly after came up. and, from the
description she furnished him of the men who had com-
mitted the outrage, he took her at once to an alley in the
neigh bourhood, called Mulberry-court,where the prisoner
and two other men were standing, and she immediately
identified the former as the man who had assaulted her,
and gave him into custody. The injuries both she and
her husband had sustained were of so serious a character
that they were obliged to be conveyed to the London
Hospital to have their wounds dressed, and she had suf-
fered the most acute pain ever since.
Benjamin Thompson, the husband, whose face was
shockingly disfigured with contusions, and whose upper
lip was cut completely through, stated that upon seeing
his wife struck with the stool, he leaped out of bed
to her assistance, and was met by the prisoner,
who had a file in his hand without a handle,
with the sharp end of which he made a blow at his
face, and the tail of the file cut through his lip and pene-
trated the flesh of his mouth. At the same moment
another man struck at him with a knife and on witness
attempting to ward off the blow with his arm the blade
decended upon his band, and cut a piece out of one of
his fingers ; while another man, whom he believed to be
the prisoner, jobbed some sharp instrument into the
back of his head, inflicting a deep wound, from which
the blood flowed down his back. The whole of the men
then commenced an indiscriminate attack upon him,
beating him furiously about the head and face with their
fists, until he was reduced to the condition in which he
then was, when they appeared to have become alarmed
by the screams of his wife in the street, and the whole
of them ran out of the house. The prosecutor added
that he was wholly at a loss to account for the brutal
attack which had been made upon him, as he had never
before even spoken to the prisoner, who was an entire
stranger to him, was not aware that he bad ever offended
any of the other men, and could only imagine that they
had been hired to ill-treat him by some one else who en-
tertained malice against him.
Bolton, a constable of the H division, stated, that
upon hearing the cries of " Murder," he ran to the
spot, and found the wife of the prosecutor standing un-
dressed at the door and bleeding fearfully from a wound
in her head. Upon her pointing out the prisoner as the
man who had attacked her, the prisoner denied that he
had been near the house at all, swore that he would not
be taken, and, flinging himself upon the ground, fought
so desperately, that it was only with the greatest diffi-
culty that he, and a cumber of other constables, could
overpower and get him to the station.
The prisoner protested his innocence, declaring that
the prosecutor and his wife were entirely mistaken in his
identification; hut
Mr. ARNOLD, who considered it a gross and lawless
outrage, ordered the prisoner to be remanded for a week
fcr the completion of the evidence against him, and di-
rected the police to make unremitting exertions in secur-
ing the other men who had aided him in the commission
of the offence.

GRAND CALEDONIAN BALL.—The ladies pa-
tronesses of this ball met in committee on Thursday at
Willis's Rooms, for the purpose of making preparatory
arrangements. The Duchess of Roxburgh, the Coun-
tess of Kinnoull, the Countess of Morton, the Countess of
Camperdown, the Countess of Seafield, the Countess de
Flahault, Lady Willoughby de Eresby, Lady Anne
Mackenzie, the Baroness Stratheden, Hon. Mrs. Hoath-
cote, and the lion. Mrs. Ferguson (of Pitfour), were
among the ladies present. The chief business of the
meeting was the arrangement of several fancy quadrilles,
in which large parties of the junior branches of the aris-
tocracy will take part. Herr Strauss is engaged to t
tend with his full orchestra, and a very brilliant ball is
anticipated. The Duchess of Somerset, whose active
hcaos-
operation in this, as in many other works of charity,
the
been of such essential service on formert.occtasosionst in
,is
un-
fortunately prevented from taking any active part

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITP.—The alterations
which have been ordered for the new street,
ee ,
commencinglteratn
ios
at Cannon-street, are rapidly advancing.
Clthe
immense mass
of
Within the
last few days nearly
the whole of
houses, bounded respectively by oak -1 ane Little St.
Thomas the Apostle, and Queen-street, have been re-
moved, as we.l as a large cluster between Dowgate-hill
and Watling. street. The old burial ground of St. John
the Baptist and St. John Zachary is covered with vast
piles of rubbish, and will, when cleared, form a portion
of the new street. Immediately the materials of the
houses already demolished shall have been removed, the
workmen will proceed with the new thoroughfare in its
advance towards St. Paul's.
SHORT PARLIAMENTS.._.. A Bill has been brought
into the House of Commons, in accordance with the
recent vote of that Assembly, for shortening the du-
ration of Parliaments. It is prepared by Mr. Tenny-
son D'Eyncourt and Lord Dudley C. Stuart, the Mem-
bers for Lambeth and Marylebone. Clause 1 repeals
the Act of Ist George 1., cap. 38 (second statute); and
clause 2 enacts that henceforth this present and all
future Parliaments shall and may respectively have
continuance for years, and no longer, to be ac-
counted from the day on which the then Parliament
was summoned to meet by writ, unless sooner dis-
solved by her Majesty, her heirs, and successors. The
blank speck will be filled up in Committee, as the House
may determine,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
Another anniversary of the " glorious" First of June,
1794, affords us an opportunity of once more congratulat-
ing the surviving heroes of that great event on the services
they that day rendered to their country. Death, we
lament to say, has thinned their ranks since the last
anniversary; and now among the lists of the navy we
can only muster the following officers:—
Admirals—Sir E. Codrington, G.C.8., T. Merchant
Gosselin (who commanded the Kingfisher, and the only
surviving officer who bad a separate command in the
action), Sir John West, K. C. 8., J. Cochet, H. R. Winn,
Sir G. E. Hamond, Bart., K.C.8., Sir C. Adam, K.C.B.
Vice-Admirals—Sir Edward D. King, K C.H., Sir W.
Parker, Bart., G.C.8., M. Buckle, Sir C. Bullen, K.C.8.,
W. B. Tremlett, Lord W. Fitzroy, K.C.8., Sir C.
Richardson, K C. 8., Sir F. Meson, K.C.B. Rear-
Admirals—Edward Betsey, C. S. J. Hawlayne, Sir W.
IL Dillon, C. 8., W. F. Owen. Retired Rear-Admirals
—Sir F. Beaufort, G. Morris, F. A. Down, 11. F.
Davies.

Captains—W. Black, C. Strachey, R. Ramsay, T.
Renwick, Sir C. T. Jones, S. Burgess, llindmarsh, Lord
Digby Middleton, J. M. Farland.
Commanders—C.. Bayley, R. Lowthian, J. S 3 kes, J.
Barrell, W. H. Dickson, J. Nugent, G. N. Tremlett, T.
Consitt, T. Smith, D. Fernandes.

Lieutenant—J. Stone.
Paymaster and Pursers—Simon Little, 11. Wells, S,
Giles.

Royal Marines—General George Jones.
To the above, however, we have again the gratifica-
tion of adding the name of that brave and gallant, but
now venerable, seaman (William Burke) who nailed the
noble Commander•in-Chief's flag to the mast of the
Queen Charlotte, amidst the crashing turmoil of the
battle.

In this gallant action no less than 52 line of battle
ships were engaged, the number on each side being the
lame; but the disparity of force was as 17,241 Engliah
to 19,987 French, and the broadsides of the British 1,087
guns to 1,107 French. The loss on our side was 290
killed, and 858 wounded ; but the entire lose of the
French was never ascertained, although in the six
French ships captured it was no less than 690 killed,
and 598 wounded.
Rear Admiral Manly Dixon, the commander-in-chief
at Cork, will most likely have Lieut. W. A. Manton
(1844) as his flag-lieutenant pro tern.
Lieutenant Charles H. -May (1843), and Thomas
Tickell (1842), have been appointed to study at-the
steam factory at Woolwich.
Mr. Lang, of Woolwich 'dockyard, and Mr. Edye, of
Devonport dockyard, master shipwrights, are ordered to
Portsmouth on _the 11th instant, to be present at the
examinations of candidates for the promotion of assistant
master ihipwriglits.
The success, old line-of-battle ship, at Portsmouth,
and the Meteor, at Sheerness, are ordered to be broken
up at these ports.
The Niger and Basilisk, steam-sloops, have left Devon-
port for their ten days' trial steamings and sailiegs in
the Channel. The course of experiments with these
vessels is of the most important and interesting character.
The Sphynx, steam-sloop, Commander Hewlett, left
Deal on Thursday for the westward.
The Reynard, steam-sloop, Commander Cracroft. is in
the stream ready for sea. She will go out of Ports-
mouth harbour to-day, and will proceed to Plymouth, to
take on board the mail for the coast of Africa, and sails
with it on the sth inst. From St. Helena she goes on
to the East Indies, and relieves the Inflexible.
The Apollo, troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, has
bent sails and fidded her topgallant masts. She will
go out of Portsmouth harbour to-day, and probably sail
for Cork on Sunday, to take on board the 59th Regi-
ment for Hong. Kong.
The four pinnaces belonging to the Excellent were
out of the harbour's mouth on Thursday, exercising
small arms and their great guns.
_

The Arrogant, 36, screw steam-frigate, Captain
Fitzroy, sailed, on Thursday afternoon, from Spithead,
for the Mediterranean, touching at Plymouth.
The electric telegraph recently placed at the Land-
port terminus of the South• Western Railway, com-
menced operations last Wednesday; it will be a great
convenience to the people of Portsmouth .
The Plumper, screw•sloop, was taken into dock on
Thursday, and is waiting for some part of ber machinery
from Woolwich.

PLYMOUTH, MAY 31.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel
the Columbia was paid wages, and sailed on Monday for
North America and Bermuda on a survey.
The Gladiator steam-vessel arrived from Pembroke on
Tuesday, and was placed at her moorings in Hamosze,
with the reserve steamers.

The flag-ship Hibernia, 104, Captain Charles Wise,
has been some time expected here from the Mediterra-
nean. Her officers will not be paid off, but on arrival
will be transferred to her Majesty's ship Queen, 110,
which continues off the dockyard, under temporary com-
mand of her Master, Mr. James B. Tucker.
Tho frigate Spartan, 26, Captain Thomas M. C. Sy-
monds, shortly expected from Gibraltar, will be paid off
when she returns home.

The Government convict ship Stately, Captain Gin-
der, with female convicts for Hobart Town, Van Die-
men's Land, put in here on the 24th inst. in consequence
of heavy weather, and consequent sickness among the
prisoners. On Sunday morning one of the cases proved
fatal, and the next day an inquest was held, and a verdict
returned of " Died of erysipelas." On Tuesday, Dr.
William Rae, Medical Inspector of the Royal Naval
Hospital, minutely examined the fittings of the Stately,
and the condition of the convicts, and expressed himstlf
well pleased with the internal arrangements of thee ship,
, and the medical treatment of the prisoners. The Stately
will probably sail cn Saturday or Sunday.
CitaTnam, JUNE I.—The Castor, 36 guns, Commo•
(-lore C. 11 }will, Commander Bunce, fitting fur the flag
ship at the Cape of Good Hope, will not be ready to
proceed to sea before the 11th instant; she is ordered to
be fitted with Messrs. Brown and Barratt's patent con-
trol ler s.

The Cleopatra, 26 guns, Captain Thomas L. Massie,
towed from Chatham on the 29,h ult. by the Pigmy
steam• vessel to the Nore, sails this day for Plymouth, at
which pace she is now ordered to be paid in advance.
This ship is fitted with a portable anchor, invented by
Mr. George Costell, master-smith at this dockyard; its
weight is 39 cwt. 2 qt.!. This anchor consists of two
parts—the shank, the arms and palms. The parts are so
I constructed that they embrace each other by means of
clamps or jaws, and are firmly held together by a bolt. •
Its principal dimensions are the same as the Admiralty
anchor, the shank and arms are flattened to give more
strength in the line of the strain, and the inner
surfaces of the palms are kept straight to the
proper angle, which will cause the anchor to nip tho
ground readily, and to hold firmly, when once inserted.
For the purpose of weighing or tripping the anchor the
external curvature of the arms is preserved. It is very
simple and strong, may be cheaply made, and easily re-
paired, can be fished, catted, with facility, and pos-
sesses all the properties of the ordinary anchor with the
advantages of portability. It is presumed from the con-
struction of this anchor that under excessive straining it
will be less liable to be broken at the crutch than the
ordinary anchor. The angle of divergence may be
somewhat increased, and still its holding properties re-
main unimpaired. There is no actual deflection in this
anchor until the strain becomes very great. This an-
chor was made pursuant to an Admiralty order, 25th of
February, 1848.
Mr. Childs, the newly appointed store receiver from
Pembroke-yard, has arrived, and commenced his duties
yesterday; also, Mr. Peter Suther, surgeon, of Wool-
wich-yard, appointed to this yard, in consequence of the
death of Dr. Warden.

Professor Moseley paid his annual visit to the appren-
tices at this yard, for the purpose of selecting two youths
as students at the central mathematical school, at Ports-
mouth, and left yesterday afternoon for Shcerness Dock-
yard, in order to make a selection of one youth for ad-
mission into the same school, at Portsmouth.

FRENCH AND ROMAN REPUBLICANS.
ODE TO LOUIS NAPOLEON.
Louis Napoleon—l won't say that he
" Who drives fat oxen should himself be fat,"
But a Republic's I'resident shou'd bo
Republican himself—l will say that.
When Rome shook off her priestly yoke,
What right had you to put sour spoke,
I beg to ask you, in her common weal?
What ground had you for interference,
When of the Popo she made a clearance?
Pray, who called you with her affairs to deal?
The Romans may be right or wrong.
I don't care which, in turning Pius out,
And sending all the Cardinals along
With that good Pontiff to the right about;
But let them choose their form of government,
And what's the odds, so long as they're content?
Are you to cram down their reluctant gullets,
The kind of Constitution you think best,
By means of swords, and bayonets, and bullets?
Against such tyranny I must protest.
I really wonder you've the cheek
To talk about your Republique.
In dignity you merit an advance;
There is a post which you are fitter far
To fill tha❑ to be President of France;
Instead of that you ought to be the Czar.
The Roman people to coerce and menace,
You send your howitzers and bombs,
With Oudinot to play the modern Brennus—
What of this intervention comes?
Disgrace, defeat—in point of fact,
Your troops got regularly whack'd.—Punch.

TIIE AUSTRALIAN COLONIE6.—On Thursday was
published a series of papers relative to the proposed
alterations in the constitution of the Australasian colo-
nies, lately presented to both Houses of Parliament by
the royal command. These papers occupy a space of
some 45 pages.
A CHINESE ARTIST ON FEMALE BEAUTT.—LuIn-
qua is called by Europeans the Sir Thomas Lawrence of
China, and he well deserves this proud distinction, as
the colouring of this artist's oil-paintings is exceed-
ingly flue; although his ideas of female beauty differ
materially from our own. In the course of conversation
we asked his opinion of an English belle then at Can-
ton, and the reply was completely characteristic of
Chinaman's ideas of female beauty; her face is too
round, she has colour in her cheeks, her eyes
ate too blue, too large; she's too tall, too plump,
yi-yaw; her face talks: (meaning the countenance
+a+ expressive) and she has fretso large that she can walk
upon them. In Lum-qua's a. eiirr we saw many portraits
both of Europeans and Chinese, many of which were
excellent likenesses, and although deficient in light and
shade, were executed in a most masterly manner.—
China and the Chinese. _ _

LEICESTER TRADE.—This being holiday week,

glove hands still remain on strike, and have been peram-
bulating the streets this week, seeking assistance from
the inhabitants.—Natingliant Journal.
