The subject is undoubtedly one of the deepest inter

welfare and prosperity of thousands, or their Q 0:

too, for the decision of the directors of the
several railway companies is of no ordinary difficulty;
they have been elected for the purpose of
watching over and guarding the interests of their con-
stituencies, the shareholders, of advancing those in-

state that they can suffer no other element to be ad-

nothing but whether it is for the advantage of the
company which they represent to continue or suspend
their operations. The latter course may, under
peculiar circumstances, which must vary in each case,
be attended with very considerable loss and inconve-

with their contractors which, as honest men, they are

EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1847.

Prisnner—T know it was wrone: the fact ;Q. T have
been unfortunate and lost a great deal of property one
way or another. I have been starving of late, and
reduced to the greatest distress. When I gave the
cheques I intended to have paid,:the persons from whom
I borrowed money when I got it, and to have taken
the cheques back; but I never supposed that they
would have presented them at the bank. I could not
be so foolish as to believe the bank would cash such
paper.
Mr. COTTINGHAM said that, however great his
distress might have been, he was not justified in adopt-
ing such a course, and that he should have no hesita-
tion in sending him for trial if the Society of Bankers
consented to prosecute.
Mr. Mullins said, that since the first examination
of the prisoner it was ascertained that he had not
presented any of the cheques for payment, and that the
Bankers' Society, therefore, did not feel called upon to
prosecute for the forgery, for, in point of fact, no
money had been raised from them upon the documents.
Mr. COTTINGHAM said, that it would be a pity if a
prosecution was not instituted against an offender like
the' prisoner, and that it was out of the power of the
poor man Sullivan to bear the expenses of such a pro-
ceeding.

Mr. Mullins said, that the bankers were anxious
that tradesmen should be more circumspect than they
were in taking cheques, and that their object was to
induce them to be cautious from whom they received
such documents. It did not appear, however, that the
prisoner belonged to the class of persons who were in
the habit of forging on the bankers of the metropolis,
but that he drew these fictitious cheques with the view
of depositing them as security in the hands of those
from whom he borrowed small sums of money. Mr.
Mullins then inquired if the prisoner could not be
punished as a common cheat?
Mr. COTTINOHAM said that the prisoner was in-
dictable for forgery as well as for obtaining money
under false pretences. With regard to the former
offence, however, he was inclined to believe that the
prisoner had written out the cheques, not with the
intention of uttering them and obtaining money at
the bankers', but merely with the view of depositing
them in other hands as security, in order to raise
money when he fell into distress. At all events,
there were clear cases of misdemeanour against him,
and as the bankers were not desirous of proceeding
against him, he thought it would be the most
judicious plan to send him for trial for the latter
offence. As, however, it was absolutely necessary to
ascertain the full extent to which the prisoner had
carried on these transactions, he should remand him
for another week, in order to bring forward all the
evidence that could be procured bearing on both
charges.
Mr. Mullins intimated that he should take special
care to be present on the prisoner's trial, and should
lend his aid in forwarding the proceedings the magis •
trates might think necessary to adopt against the
accused.

THAMES.

STABBING. John Robinson, an elderly grey-
headed man, who was formerly in the army, and is at
present in the receipt of a pension, was charged with
feloniously wounding Mr. Edward Hodges, landlord
of the White Horse public-house, Poplar.
It appeared that, yesterday morning, as Mr. Hodges
was standing in the passage of his house, he heard his
barman having a dispute with some person, and on
inquiring what was the matter, the barman told him
that the prisoner had been supplied with twopenny
worth of rum, but positively declared he would not
pay for it. Mr. Hodges on this collared the prisoner.
Angry words ensued, and Mr. Hodges's daughter,
who was present, suddenly exclaimed, " Oh, my God,
father ! he has a sword in his hand." This naturally
made him draw back, and at the same time he felt the
point of something enter his left thigh, which he found
to be the sharp edge of what is termed a sword-stick,
and which the prisoner was brandishing in his hand.
On examination, Mr. Hodges found a small wound
on his thigh.

Watkins, the police-constable, who took the pri-
soner in charge, produced the sword-stick, which was
a most murderous looking weapon, the blade being
shaped like a bayonet, very long and pointed as a
stiletto.

In defence the prisoner alleged that if he touched
Mr. Hodges at all, it must have been by accident.
Mr. YARDLET said his duty was to commit him to
take his trial for the felonious wounding.
SO UFHWARK.

Two young women, inmates of St. George's work-
house, were brought before Mr. Seeker, charged
with creating a disturbance, and threatening the life
of the matron.

The latter said that the prisoners were a complete
terror to all the other inmates, and had been twenty
times in prison for riotous conduct. That morning
they refused to get up at the usual hour, and upon
being remonstrated with, used most dreadful lan-
guage. At ten o'clock they came down stairs,
exclaiming that they would murder her unless they
were served with their breakfast. Witness was then
in the bread-room, and the prisoners attempted to
force their way into the place; and had not the
porter and some of the females come to her assistance,
she really believed that she would have been mur-
dered. The police were then called in, and they
were given into custody.
In answer to the charge, the prisoners said that it
was all a tissue of falsehoods.
Police-constable 80 M said that when he was
called to take the prisoners into custody, they used
most disgusting language, and threatened to murder
the matron.

Mr. SECKER said he should sentence them to
twenty-one days' impri,ontnent each.

CLEI?KENIVELL.

James Moss, a pauper was charged with selling a
suit of workhouse clothes, the property of the direc-
tors of the poor of St. Pancras parish. The prisoner,
it appeared, had been in the workhouse, and supplied
with clothes on three occasions, with which he ab-
sconded and sold them.

The prisoner acknowledged his guilt, and said he
would repeat the offence every opportunity he had.
Mr. COOMBE sentenced him to the extreme penalty
of the law, viz., three months' imprisonment with
hard labour.

"For those who're young and those who love
What's natural and truthful,
If old in years, yet young in heart,
'Tis that which must be youthful."
The latter class—namely, those who are young in
heart though not in years, will find subjects of inte-
rest in a tale of Heligoland, called " Trine," and in a
very beautiful, but simple and pathetic sketch, en-
titled " The Most Difficult Path." In this little tale
is narrated how a hardy mountaineer, equalling the
chamois in his climbing capacities, happened to have
his hut in an almost inaccessible acclivity. Leading
to this hub were several paths, all difficult to others,
but comparatively easy to him. A wandering visitor
inquired of him which path he found the " most
difficult ?" and then, with all the exquisite pathos of
nature, is told how the mountaineer related that once
he had been to the valley to have a child buried, and;
returning from the funeral and going home to his
silent hearth and weeping wife, he had found climb-
ing up the mountain that day " the most difficult
path." Younger readers will hardly find so much
amusement in this as in the other Christmas books.
The first article, " The Merry Wedding," gives an
amusing criticism of " Cock Robin's Funeral," and
contains a somewhat similar piece—similar in style
though not in subject—namely, "the merry wed-
ding. " The Malcontents" is an interesting sketch,
in which the toes, or, as the French call them, the
doigts du pied (fingers of the feet), complain bitterly
because they are treated with so much less respect
than the fingers of the hand.

THE PLAYMATE.
Though we have placed it last, '° The Playmate" is
certainly not the least among the juvenile Christmas
books. What child is not glad to have a playmate ?
and this " Playmate" need make no exception to the
rule. It has all the requisites a child's book should
have, containing numerous amusing and interesting
stories, several old ballads, always attractive to per-
sons of every age, sundry enigmas and charades, with
other articles of a more useful character. One very
interesting little tale, the " Madonna della Sedia,"
contains an account of the supposed origin of
Raphael's celebrated picture. This volume is, of
course, profusely embellished with illustrations.

MARYLEBONE.

EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF ROBBERY.—John Phillip-
son and Henry Anderson (a showily dressed man),
alias Fair, were placed at the bar before Mr.
Broughton), for re-examination on the charge of
having broken and entered the dwelling house of
Major-General Fleming, No. 11, Baker-street,
Portman-square. They were also charged with
having violently assaulted a female servent, by whom
they were discovered in the apartment in question.
The particulars of what previously transpired in
reference to this case have already appeared, and it
will be rem-mbered that the prisoners were remanded
at the request of Inspector Barker of the S division,
who alleged that he should no doubt be able to sub
stantiate another case of extensive and daring plunder
against the accused parties.
The Inspector now brought forward witnesses
with regard to the connexion of the prisoners with
others concerned in a large robbery at a furnished
but untenantA house, belonging to Hugh Riley, at
36, Upper Grosvenor-street.
The evidence was exceedingly voluminous, but the
short facts are these :—On the 2d ult., in the evening,
some one went to the house of Mr. Dark, a carman,
in Robert-street, Grosvenor-square, and ordered that
a ran should be sent to Mr. Riley's house, for the
purpose of removing goods. The van was accord-
ingly sent at once, and on its arriving there a large
quantity of property, consisting of no fewer than
seven beds, thirty-Iwo blankets, some carpets, cur-
tains, pictures, Stc., were placed in the vehicle, which
was completely loaded by four men, who were on the
premis( s, two of whom were the prisoners; the ran,
with its various contents, was, agreeably to direction*
given to the driver, drawn up at the shop of a shoe-
maker named Ray, in Tenter-street, Spitalfields (he
has since absconded, fearing that he should get into
trouble, as it was well known that he had been in the
habit of receiving stolen goods), but as there was a per-
son then present who was a stranger, when he (Ray)
was requested to take them in, the van went on some
distance further, and it was ultimately taken posses-
sion of 1w Mr. Barker, who had received such infor-
mation from the said visitor at the shop as fully satis-
fied him that an extensive robbery had been perpe-
trated.

The property found in the van was proved to belong
to Mr. Riley.
The prisoners were committed for trial upon this
charge, and also upon General Fleming's.

LONDON. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 30, 1847.

Another session has opened on the Guiaot Admi-
nistration, and never, we may safely aver, has that
Administration appeared before the representative
Legislature in a position so peculiarly perilous. The
Speech delivered by his Majesty the KING of the
FRENCH on Tuesday afternoon is expressive in every
syllable of the uncertainty with which Louis PHIL-
LIPPE is himself agitated by the state of political
parties in his dominions. Language could not be
more obscure ; allusions more indefinite ; inuendoes
more vague ; anticipations more shadowy ; rhetorical
flourishes more idle and profitless. Every sentence
shows that the SOVEREIGN was conscious
of the delicacy of the various questions
to which he was compelled to make more
immediate reference. Even with the guarantee which
is at last afforded for the remission or reduction of
the salt duties, there is associated the recollection of
the continual obstructions hitherto raised against this
concession to the wants of the community by a nig-
gardly and avaricious system of commercial policy.
And in the promised diminution of the amount of
postage demanded upon letters there is manifest only
the intention of a partial improvement, instead of such
a comprehensive innovation as the one effected in our
own country by the intelligent suggestions of Row-
LAND HILL. Other measures are enumerated by the
MONARCH with a sort of grandiloquent distinct
. ness, which would almost induce one to imagine that
he anticipates
of the
from their operation the full develop.
" morality and welfare " of his people !
These measures being none other than bills upon
commercial property, upon the mortgage system,
upon savings-banks, and upon pawnbroking. As if
the morality of his
kingdo,no cou.ld be insured by the
triple-balls of the Mont
t de Pate f As if the evil 1
deeds of an unprincipled Cabinet were to be made I
palateable by affording a tittle more security to a
mortgagor, or by increasing, by r
a tew centimes, the
casual profits of a mortgagee ! As if, indeed
the ill repute acquired by Governmenthis,
were to be swallowed cam grano saris! Yet,
it is to these dribblets of political reform and
social improvements that Louis Puturez appends
the magniloquent declaration—" It is my constant
wish that my Government should labour, with your
co-operation, in developing, at the same time, the
morality and welfare of the people !" There is
something as ludicrously inappropriate in the context
of the paragraph as though Mr. BARNUM were to
narrate in sesquipedalia verba the life and adventures
of General Tom THUMB. It is the antithesis of
Pa
~....:e• et'S .bathos—the sudden expansion of the petty to
(frirlireeer--• the sublime, instead of the abrupt contrac-
-1 t •
on of the sublime to the petty. It forms a worthy
,i - comiletkclium, however, to the recent seta of
::. • - * poli which would appear to draw its inspiration

CL. 14.

Similar measures may also be enforced against
those states which, by the granting of monopolies and
privileges, or insisting on the compliance with other
regulations, may place obstacles in the way of the
trade and navigation of the states of the union.
CL. 15.

The principles laid down in clauses 8-10 shall be
the basis, as well in respect to all treaties for trade
and navigation, to be concluded on the part of the
union with other atates, as also to serve to regulate
the conduct to be observed towards other states where
no directions prescribed by treaty may exist.

CLERKENWELL.

James Moss, a pauper was charged with selling a
suit of workhouse clothes, the property of the direc-
tors of the poor of St. Pancras parish. The prisoner,
it appeared, had been in the workhouse, and supplied
with clothes on three occasions, with which hit ab-
sconded and sold them.

The prisoner acknowledged his guilt, and said he
would repeat the offence every opportunity he had.
Mr. COOMBE sentenced him to the extreme penalty
of the law, viz., three months' imprisonment with
hard labour.

ception, conclude separate treaties with other states,
this may only be done under the condition and with
the reservation, that the state so contracting with the
particular state of the union, shall grant to the trade
and navigation of every state of the union, if it be
required, like advantages or privileges, on such state
also agreeing to afford similar or reciprocal advan-
tages.

CL. 6.

The states of the union reserve for themselves to
facilitate on their interior lines of customs, the traffic
and reciprocal trade; and particularly to favour the
reciprocally bringing in and out of their respective
productions of the soil and manufacturing industry,

outward duties, and to prom ite the trade with other
countries, in so far as shall be deemed necessary, by
the abolition or reducing of the transit duties.

They reserve no less to agree as to the adoption of
a uniform system of coinage, weights, and measures.

CL. 8. '

The states of the union expect that all other states
shall recognise the union flag to be agreed upon, and,
accordingly, that every vessel carrying this flag shall
be treated on entering the harbours of such other
states, in respect to dues and impositions on ship and
cargo, as if the vessel had come from a home port with
productions and crew of the country of such vessel;
notwithstanding the port from which the vessel
came, and the productions and crew were those of
some other state of the union.
CL. 9.

The states of the union are willing to grant or
continue the same rights mutually agreed on to the
vessels of other states; but they expect that other
states will, on their part, concede like privileges in
their harbours to the vessels of the union.
CL. 10.
The states of the union are willing to treat the ships
and productions of all other countries, in regard to
the ship dues and customs, on a footing of equality;
and not to give the ships and productions of one state
a preference before those of another. But they ex-
pect that their ships and productions, on entering the
harbours, or within the customs' districts of other
states, shall be treated as favourably as the ships and
productions of any other state.

of the union all the rights enjoyed by the vessels of
such state, in such manner that every cargo which

from the ports of all or any other country, may be
imported into or exported from such ports, without
any difference being made between national vessels

of the union, on arrival or departure, in regard to the
navigation and harbour dues fur ship or cargo, or of
the inwards, outwards, or passage dues.

CL. 4.

flag in common.

to terminate as soon as possible all treaties of com-

poetry—some that are familiar to us as household
words, and others that appear ever new and attractive.
Among these are " The Burial of Sir John Moore,"
16Casabianca," " I,lwelyn and his Dog," " John
Gilpin," Scott's " Death of Keeldar," the sarcastic
eulogy of the " Famous Victory" ofßlenheim, given
by old Caspar to his grandchildren—
" And everybody praised the Duke,
Who such a fight did win.
But what good come of it at Litt?
Quoth little l'eterkin.
Why. that I cannot tell, said he,
But 'twas a famous victory."

That astonishing and perfectly bewildering assem-
blage of words, which tells " how the water
comes down at Lodore," numerous ballads and
other poems of every imaginable variety. But
the poetic contents of this volume are not its only
attraction—it is not only a " verse," but a "picture,"
book. Every page is ornamented with some fanciful
embellishment, and almost every page is adorned
with some most beautiful illustration. Birds, flowers,
landscapes, historical scenes, domestic groups, and a
variety of other subjects are all pourtrayed with
exceeding grace of design and exquisite delicacy of
finish.

Similar measures may also be enforcel against
those states which, by the granting of monopolies and
