WOOL WIC H-SUNDAY.

The Gleaner steam-vessel, 130-horse power, recently serv-
ing on the North American and West India station as a ten-
der, was brought round to Woolwich from Portsmouth by
Mr. Bellamy, assistant master-attendant at that port.
The Spiteful steam-sloop having now been made ready,
will be navigated to Sheerness to-morrow, by a part of the
supernumeraries from the Fisgard, and the stokers, on her ar-
rival at Sheerness, are to be transferred to the Termagant
steam-frigate for the purpose of trying the latter vessel under
steam and canvass, and if she is found to answer, to take her
round to Portsmouth.

The Advice steam-packet, SO-horse power, Lieutenant-
Commander Petch, has been ordered round from Pembroke to
Woolwich, but has not yet arrived at this port. The other
vessels formerly employed on the mail-packet service on the
Pembroke station are also expected here, the forwarding of
mails by that route by the coast of Ireland being discontinued.
Mr. Thomas Elson, master-attendant at this dockyard, died
suddenly yesterday morning at three o'clock, after an apo-
pletic attack about half an hour previously. Mr. Laen, for-
merly master-commander of the Rhadamanthus steam-vessel,
acted as master-attendant here during a recent illness of the
late Mr. Elson, and it is expected he will be appointed to
succeed him as master-attendant.
Mr. Chatfield, assistant to the master-shipwright, is or-
dered to submit to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty
a plan of a 50-gun frigate.
Mr. Sergeant Channell, Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr. Carpmael,
civil engineer, Mr. Peachey and Mr. Sherwin, solicitors,
visited Woolwich Dockyard at half-past six o'clock yester-
day evening to witness Cochran's machine erected at the
saw-mills' in operation, having been engaged to conduct a
process issued against Mr. Cochran charging him with hav-
ing infringed on a previous patent. The case was postponed
some time ago, but it is expected to be tried during the pre-
sent week. A large piece of timber was cut by the machine
in the presence of the visitors to show the principles of Mr.
Cochran's invention, and every information given by the
workmen.

THE WEATHER.—Since our last the weather has,
on the whole, been finer, though with occasional showers
night and morning. The temperature, too, in the evenings,
has been low. On Wednesday and Thursday the highest
point was 64 degs. Fahrenheit. Yesterday was quite fine
and clear ; but the evening was wet. The returns by tele-
graph from various parts of the country exhibit a wonder-
rul prevalence of fine weather, at seven yesterday morning,
over a tract extending from Glasgow and Edinburgh to
London, Southampton, and Gosport :—Glasgow, S.W , fine;

IN RE JULLIEN. :Xi ,:.,;1--.:1; iit:
Mr. Commisioner FANE gave judgment as follow,' :2 , V .11
I have earefully considered the suggestion that I should 71---------

I shall not adopt it. I have long thought that the Bank-
rupt Act was over harsh towards the unfortunate debtor,
and absurdly lenient towards the dishonest one. The
proper mode of dealing with the dishonest debtor, who
has not accounted for his property, would be to with-
hold his certificate, restore each of his creditors to his
original rights, and by subjecting all property found in
the possession of uncertificatedbankrupts to the law of
reputed ownership, enabling each creditor to seize it us
he could find it. Such a law would prevent conceal-
ments by effectually thwarting their object, which is
future undisputed enjoyment. But though such may be
the proper mode of dealing with the dishonest debtor,
the proper mcde of dealing with the honest bankrupt
who has delivered up everything, is to make him a new
man, to enable him to re-enter the world of industry
totally unshackled. If he has no property, he should,
at all events, have no burdens. A contrary course is, in
my opinion, equally unjust and impolitic; impolitic, be-
cause its probable effect must be to check future exertion,
and thus to defeat its own object. It is difficult enough
to get on in the struggles of life without capital, and
with the discredit of former failure; I will not add to
that difficulty the burden of old debts in a case like the
present, where there is not the least reason for thinking
there is any property concealed. True it is that Mons.
Jullien produces nothing for his creditors; but why is
this? Because the principle of the law is, that the cre-
ditors of an insolvent may scramble for his property, and
the fortunate scramblers in this case were au attorney
and a sheriff's officer, who between them have divided
property worth nearly 5,000/. I hope that M. Jullien's
future career may be more fortunate, and if he should
hereafter be enabled to do anything for his present cre-
ditors, and he should, in accordance with the honourable
sentiments he has expressed, make any payments to them,
I shall be happy to hear of it; but it-shall be the result
of a moral, not a legal obligation. He shall have the
credit of having done voluntarily what the law would not
compel him to do.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(SATURDAY.]
BOW-STREET.

In the course of the afternoon, William Cuffey, of consi-
derable notoriety as a Chartist delegate and leader, and who
described himself as a tailor, living at 11, Holles-street, War-
dour-street, was brought up on a warrant and placed before
Mr. Henry, charged with attending the meetings of the dele-
gates at the Lord Denman beer-shop, and taking part in the
conspiracy to disturb the public peace, and commit certain
outrages upon the metropolis.
The appearance of the prisoner has been already described
in our columns. He is extremely short, and has the face of
a mulatto.

Mr. Clarkson said he wished to 'have the prisoner re-
manded till the day fixed for the further examination of the
other prisoners.
Thomas Powell examined—l know the 'prisoner at the
bar, and saw him at a meeting of Chartist delegates at the
Lord Denman beer-shop in Suffolk-street, on Tuesday even-
ing last. He was there when the proposition was made
respecting the retirement of the deputation to arrange the
course of proceeding by the organized Chartists, and also
when Mullins, the chairman, stated that they must come
armed, and that there must be no flinching. (The evidence
given by the witness on Friday was here repeated. It re-
ferred to the appointment of the Chartist leaders.) Cuffey
said to the chairman, " Make haste, because all my men are
ready and waiting, and you know I take the western divi-
sion." Cuffey was also present at a meeting on the previous
Monday evening, at the Orange Tree, in Orange-street,
where he received one of the tri-coloured ribbons distributed
by Brewster among the Chartist delegates. I omitted to
state that at the meeting on Tuesday, held at the Lord
Denman, and in the presence of the prisoner, some one
called upon the chairman to propose a " pass-word" for those
who were going to join Ritchie. The chairman called upon
one of the delegates to propose one, upon which a person in
the meeting suggested that it should be " Frost" or " Mit-
chel." Another delegate then rose and moved as an amend-
ment, that the pass-word should be " Justice." The amend-
ment was put and carried, it being arranged that when they
applied to be admitted Ritchie should say to every man,
" What do you want ?" and every one who did not reply,
" Justice," was to be refused admission at the Orange Tree.
Sergeant Thompson said that he apprehended Cuffey at
bis lodgings, on the third floor back, in Holles-street. He
was in the room with his wife. An officer, who accompanied
him, began searching the place, while witness explained the
nature of the charge. The prisoner said, "Oh, I know all
about it ; I'm a Chartist ;" but seemed disposed to offer some
resistance. Witness saw the prisoner opening a drawer, and
fumbling for something inside of it, and presently he took
out a small pistol. Witness immediately attempted to take
it from him, and a scuffle ensued, during which the prisoner
dropped the pistol on the floor in endeavouring to pass it to
his wife. Witness took it up, and it was loaded with a bullet,
and primed. (Thompson here unloaded the pistol in Court.)
The blue flag produced, bearing the inscription" Westminster
district," was taken from the room, but nothing else material
there.
The prisoner—That is the flag we had in trio ~.tn
at Hertford, on the purchase of the first piece of land y
the National Land Company. The place was called Har-
risgate, but has been since called O'Connorford, in honour
r,a. 6133 VI (AMUOre vr e atso ban the nag in Y.errangton-
common on the 10th of April, and at other Chartist pro-
cessions.

This statement was added to the depositions.
The prisoner said he had no questions to put. The wit-
nesses would make the most of it no doubt. He resisted the
cflicer because be did, not show his warrant.

Mr. HENRY, after telling the prisoner that he might be
taken without a warrant, the charge being one of felony,
remanded him to the 31st inst.

The prisoner, on leaving the Court, wished the gentlemen
Good day," and assumed the utmost indifference.
