W 0 RSHIP- STREET.

George Williams, a member of the swell mob, was brought
up for re-examination, charged with stealing a roll of black
silk, valued at 101., the property of Mr. Elijah May, draper,
Chiswell-street.

The prisoner was remanded on the plea that he had a good
character, and he gave references where application might be
made on his behalf.

It appeared from the evidence of two youths of the names
of Chadwick and Hall, in the employ of Mr. May, that for
some days previous to last Monday, the prisoner, every morn-
ing as soon as the shop was open, came, in company with
another man, and bought some trifling articles. One day last
week Mr. May was robbed of a roll of waistcoating, valued at
61. On Monday morning the prisoner and his companion
called, when the prisoner was giving an order for a handker-
chief, his companion, who had on a large Mackintosh cloak,
went out of the shop. When the prisoner left the theft was
discovered. He was in consequence pursued, and appre-
hended by a City patrol of the name of Ebenezer Brain.
The prisoner denied all connexion with the other man.
Several policemen said that the prisoner was well known,
and that he was one of the swell mob.
Sergeat Seal, of the G division, said that he had inquired
at the different directions given by the prisoner, where he had
referred to for a character. He bad described himself as a
plumber, painter, and grainer, but he was not known at any
of the references.

Police constable Wallen, G 230, said that he had made in-
quiries, and ascertained that the prisoner is the son of a most
highly respectable broker in the City. He was once cast for
death, but Otained a reprieve owing to the interference of his
relatives. His name was not Williams.
Mr. CODD said that he supposed the prisoner would rot
deny that his name was not Williams.

---
Tile prisoner, who was sensibly affected, and turned a
de3dly pale colour, said that he could not.
Mr. CODD told him that he would be committed for trial,
and he directed the police to endeavour to find out his com-
panion.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 17.
The sales of Cotton effected at this day's market were ex-
tensive, fully 5,000 bags, having met with purchasers. The
trade now wears a very steady appearance, and holders have
great confidence. We cannot at present alter our quotations,
but the extreme point of yesterday's prices was obtained for
all the transactions of to-day. 100 Bahia, 7id. to 8/d. ; 700

4, ENGLAND VERSUS IRELAND."—With this
prefix the Dublin Pilot of last Wednesday publishes the pro-
mised letter of Mr. O'Connell, the professed design of which
production is to answer the Liverpool Mercury, and to reassert
that " the great majority of the people of England are
bigotedly hostile" to Ireland. The Mercury, it may be re-
collected, took occasion on the 21st of September to deny the
truth and fairness of this charge, brought by Mr. O'Connell
against the great body of the people of England ; and while
refuting the charge, ventured to allege that the Learned Gen-
tleman, in making it, was guilty of " gross ignorance" or
" wilful misrepresentation." Proposing to ourselves on the
present occasion nothing more than the bare mention of the
fact of publication, without entering into the controversy, and
showing, as we easily could demonstrate, the groundlessness
of Mr. O'Connell's hypothesis, we yet must be permitted to
protest, as before we have often protested, against that Learned
Gentleman's crotchetty, gratuitous, and even ungenerous
assumption of England's indifference to Ireland's interest and
well-being. To us, we are free to confess, it appears that,
on this particular point, Mr. O'Connell is remarkably
forgetful of Nor is he less prejudiced in predi-
cating continued indifference, apathy, abuse, and so forth,
from the people of England against the Irish. For,
alluding to the Precursor petitions now preparing, he
writes What assistance shall we get from the English
people ? Abundance of abuse, plenty of sneering sarcasm—no
aid, no effort to assist us. Few or no petitions, apathy, neglect
(indifference at the best), hostility in the great majority."
This accusation is scarcely fair. Why, the fact of all our
English newspapers, day after day, cheerfully finding room
for Mr. O'Connell's appeals, although repeated by him in
rapid succession, and occupying frequently a very large space;
indeed, if it do not conclusively prove the existence of much
sympathy, affords, we think, at least, no evidence corroboratory
of Mr. O'Connell's charge against the great majority of the
people of England.
HEREFORD HOPS, OCT. 15.—The picking has
now been concluded, and the result, as was anticipated, is a
mere apology for a crop. It is thought that there will not be
one quarter of the number of pockets brought to the annual
fair on Saturday next that were exhibited last year, when the
old Town hall (which has been so renovated and modernised
that it can hardly be recognised by its oldest acquaintances)
was piled to the very roof. By Christmas, when the stock of
hops will be much exhausted, they will doubtless attain a very
high price. Among the evils of the failure of the crop were
the diminished means of employment to the poor, only half the
usual number of hands having been engaged, and those by the
bushel instead of the day. The hop-yards of some of our principal
hop-growers afforded work for a fortnight only, the usual pe
rind being a month, and in some cases the pickers could net
cat n 3d. per day There will, therefore, be full opportunity
for the efforts of the benevolent towards the poor in the ensuing
winter, and no doubt they will be liberally exercised.
