CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.
OLD COURT.
CONTINUATION OF THE TRIAL OF CUFFEY,
FAY, AND LACY.
Mr. Baron Platt and Mr. Justice Williams took their
seats on the bench at ten o'clock.
Superintendent Rutt (L division) deposed to going,
With a number of constables, to the Angel. Webber-
Street, Blackfriars-road, about five o'clock on the evening
of the 16th of August. Ile found thirteen persons in
the tap-room. Their names were Nilspear, Iron,
Proutten, Conway, Corbett, Taylor, Cocks, Poole, Gibbs,
Herbert, Norton, Corbett, and Samuel Morgan.
Mr. BALLANTINE objected to the reception of this
evidence, as there was no evidence to connect the pri-
soners with any proceedings there.
Mr. Baron PLATT considered the evidence admissible,
since the meeting at Webber-street formed part of the
alleged conspiracy.
Sergeant Rutt said he saw weapons taken from several
of the parties, and produced two powerful pike-heads,
taken from Conway, who had them under his coat.
There was much confusion.
Cochrane, 108 L, corroborated Sergeant Rutt's testi-
mony.
Harris, 6 L, gave similar testimony, adding that he
found seventy-five rounds of cartridges in a handker-
chief under a seat..
L 21 proved searching Nilspear and finding a breast
plate between his shirt and waistcoat, and a pike-head,
which were produced. Found a sword behind the door
of the room.
Baker, 112 L, proved finding a dagger, a pike-head,
and a screw wrench on Proutten.
Slaymaker, L 124, searched Cocks, and found a card
in his coat-pocket, showing that he was a member of
the National Chartist Association, April 3, 1848.
Collins, L 1E24, was also at the Angel. Searched
Mc rgan, and found a pike- head and fifteen ball cartridges
in his pocket.
Insiector 'ttogers L, deposed going to a house in
Market-atre'et, Borough, on the evening of Wednesday,
the 16th cilE August. Morgan occupied the first floor.
Mr. PARRY objected to the reception of evidence with
respect to what was found at Morgan's.
The ATVORNEY-GENERAL considered the evidence ad-
miasible, hut would not press the question.
Inspect or Hawes proved searching the house of Lacy,
entitled the Charter Coffee-house, Strutton-ground,
Westminster. Found some books in a club-room in the
first flour, ccntaining names, addresses, and subscriptions.
One bad reference to the members of the " Wallace
Bridg ate branch of the Chartist Association"—Mr.
• Lacy last. He also found a printed plan of the mode of
orgartisation recommended by the Chartist Association.
All'the books and documents were handed in and read.
Took a person named Jones into custody at the coffee-
house, on whom were found two pistols, loaded with
ben and primed, a canister in his hat containing
pound of gunpowder, a small box of cartridges, a pistol
earew, &c.
Mr. Eagle, jun., proved the hand writing of a plan to
be in the handwriting of Mullins.
Thomas Barry, shoemaker, said he was a member of
the "Robert Emmett Brigade," which held its meetings
at two places—one section met at a beer shop in Shoul-
der-street, and the other in Beer• street, in the neigh-
- botrhood of the Edgware-road. Had heard Mullins
speak at one of these meeting places several times. The
witness detailed the proceedings at these meeting
places a short time before the arrest of the prisoners.
The prisoner was cross-examined, and admitted having
been committed to prison for a month for poaching, and
for four months for stealing three half-quartern loaves.
• Never attempted to induce any one to Join the physical
force movement. Was a moral force Chartist. Had

munity. Went about now, accompanied by a policeman.

.New York Daily Tribune.
The Gazette of last night contains an order in
council, giving directions for bringing into operation the
Act of the last session to prohibit the importation of
sheep, cattle, or other animals, for the purpose of pre-
venting the introduction of contagious or infectious dis-
orders; and it further enacts, that ifssany sheep or lambs
imported or brought into this country appear at the titne
of their importation to be infected with or labouring
under the variola ovine, or sheep pox, such sheep and
1 tuabs, and all other sheep and lambs imported or brought
into this country in the same ship or vessel with any
sheep or lambs which appear to be diseased, shall be
seized and detained by the officers of Customs at the
port of import; it enacts also that the circumstances of
such seizure shall be forthwith reported by such officers
to the Commissioners of Customs and the Board of
Trade; and if it be certified to the former board by any
veterinary surgeon appointed by them to inspect such
sheep that they are infected with such disease, that they
may, if they think proper, cause such sheep or lambs to
be forthwith destroyed. Directions also may be given
for further detaining or destroying all or any other
of the sheep or lambs which may have been imported
into this country with the diseased animals, or for re-
turning them to their owners, subject to any conditions
which may be prescribed, and on the payment of any ex-
penses incurred by the Commissioners of Customs in
respect of their detention.
THE STREET-SWEEPING MACHINE.—We under-
stand that it is intended to extend the operation of that
useful instrument, the street-sweeping machine. The
state of the streets on Saturday and Sunday last, and
yesterday, afforded the best proofs that some change is
necessary to render the streets in any respect passable
wi.hout being covered with mud. The present mode of
cleansing the streets is perfectly inadequate. It is not
regulated by any system, and the clumsy and careless
way in which the sweepings arc removed forms another
nuisance.
MONEY MARKET.—The price of gold at Paris is
131 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of
31 17 141. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.481; and the exchange at Paris on Loudon
at short being 25 30, it follows that gold is 0.72 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. The price
of gold at Hambargh is 436 per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.101; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.81,
it follows that gold is 1.03 per cent. dearer in liamburge
than in London. The course of exchange at New York
on London is 109 per cent., and the par of exchange
between England and America being 109 23-40 per
cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.58 per cent
against England; but the quoted exchange at New
York being for bills at 60 days sight, the interest must
be subtracted from the above difference.

-
crATioN.—Yesterday evening, at half past six
numerous meeting of the ministers and supporters of the
churches and chapels connected with the West
the Middlesex Congregational Association, was held at E
end Chapel, East-end, Finchley, for the purpose of re-
ceiving the report of the various ministers on the pro-
gress of the association. Mr. Walker, treasurer of the
association, iu the chair, and there were present the Rev.
Dr. Morrison, the Rev. Mr. Cumming, the Rev. Mr.
Harrison, the Rev. Mr. Baker, &c. The Chairman ob-
served that he was deeply impressed with the import-
ance of the object they had that evening assembled to
support, believing that they would effect the dissemina-
tion of the principles of Christianity as they were incul-
tattd in the Scriptures. Dissenters and Independents, by
uniting together in the way proposed by the association,
would be enabled to carry out those views, and he was
happy to say that there was a strong disposition among
Christians of various denominations to unite for such a
purpose. Resolutions in support of the association were
agreed to unanimously, and several reverend gentlemen
addressed the meeting upon them, after which thanks
were voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated.

had a very narrow escape, the ox having run at him, but
he managed to escape by striking it on the forehead with
his hat, and seeking refuge behind a barrel. The animal
now became much infuriated, turned off by the road
leading from the station to Pilgrim-street, and nits
course encountered Mr. Clark, the auctioneer, who,
median ly he saw it approach him, endeavoured to save
himself by placing himself against the wall. The
mal, however, attacked him, knocked him down, tore
part of his clothes, and bruised him severely about the
head. Fortunately it proceeded without doing him fur-
ther injury, and rushing up Pilgrim-street it attacked
Mr. Nicholson, plumber, and after giving him a toss
with its head proceeded onwards up Pilgrim-street,
where it was shortly afterwards secured. Mr. Nicholson
fell upon his shoulder, and, with the exception of a few
bruist s, is not materially injured.—!Newcastle Journal.

to the witness, who stated that it contained the informa-
tion he gave to the superintendent of the meeting on
the 15th of August.) He did this, because witness
could not read.
Inspector Marks of Greenwich, deposed to writing
the statements in the' way vouched to by the witness.
(The trial was proceeding when our report left.)

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.)
Thomas Collins, aged 27, and Mattin Etvil, aged 51,
paviours and'mason's.labourers, were indicted for stealing
k quantity of paving stones the property of Mr. Chad-
wick, the contractor, and of the Commissioners of Paving,
for the city of Westminster.
Mr. PRENDERGAST, who appeared for the prosecutors,
stated the quantity and value of property of this kind
which was plundered, far exceeded anything that the
jury, or many in court could be aware of. It was
necessarily much exposed, and it was only the day before
the alleged robbery by the prisoners, that an entire load
of granite blocks was carried off from the same stone-
heap in Weymouth-street. In consequence of the recent
robberies, a watch was set, and the prisoners were seen
to wheel a truck up to the heap, and had partly filled it
when they were taken into custody.
Their defence was that another man employed them
to fill the truck, and that they thought it was all right.
They had both been in the employment of Mr. Chad-
wick many years, and they said he was in court and
could give them a good character.
Mr. Leckie, warden of Westminster House of Correc-
tion, said he knew them well, and they were " always
alternately in and out of prison," for assaults and
drunkenness.
Mr. Chadwick did not respond to their appeal, and the
jury found them Guilty.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE sentenced them to be impri-
soned four months, and kept to hard labour.

_
CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Edward Squires was charged before Mr. Combo
with stealing a chair from the shop of Mr. Gilts, High-
stree t, Stoke Newington, upholsterer.
It appeared that a policeman meeting the prisoner in
n
the street, not far from the prosecutor's,
offering to sell the chair to the shopkeepers and to
passers by, took him into custody, not being
that he
satisfied
with his account of the possession, which was
Dad found it in the road.
Mr. Gilts was positive that the chair was in the
shop half an hour before the prisoner was taken,
but wished the magistrate to deal leniently
with the prisoner, as it might be that he took the
chair in a drunken lark ; besides, there were
children about the door, and it might have got pulled
out into the street, which would give some colour to the
prisoner's defence, as he was so very drunk at the time,
and might imagine it was " treasure trove."
Mr. CO MBE said (at first) that Mr. Gilts must con-
vince a jury of that, but at length, in consequence of the
prosecutor's unwillingness to press the charge, and the
fact that the prisoner was drunk when he took the pro-
perty, and was not a known offender, he discharged him.

lATERAT CUE.
THE QUEENS OF EAGi AND. Ey Agnes
Strickland. Vol. XII. a7;d last.
Cordially do we congratulate Miss Strickland upon
the accomplishment of her arduous and ambitious
undertaking—the " Lives of the Queens of England."
Che volume now before us completes a work as in •
,tructive as history, and as interesting as romance.
Übe biographies of the Queens of England, A% bile
hey are fraught with that individual interest which
s inseparable from biography, have an additional and
drnost a peculiar value in an historical point tf view.
l'he history of the royal ladies who have worn the
English crown constitutes a not unimportant chapter
in the history of England. In unravelling the mys-
eries of their domestic lives, we, at the same time,
unravel many political knots which have baffled the
.ngenuity of many philosophers. But, apart
*rum the political interest of the history 01.
We Queens of England, there is another tied
a higher attraction in the perusal of such a wok. A
Noble Lord (Lord Palmerston, if we mistake not)
:once observed at a scientific meeting that by an ac
quairitance with astronomy men are at once rendered
proud and humble,—proud to find that it is given to
man to discover the mysterious secrets of nature, and
tumble by a sense of their insignificance when con-
trasted with the immensity of the universe. A feel-
ing very similar to this is called forth by a minute
acquaintance with the private history of the great
ones of the world. In perusing these royal biogra-
phies, for example, the commonest among us may hold
his head a little higher on discovering that, despite
the jewelled diadem and the ermine robe, kings and
queens feel and think as he does, while, at the same
time, the proudest may for a moment be staggered
by such a revelation of the instability of human
hopes and the worthlessness of human grandeur,
as is afforded by such a history. Morally, his-
torically, and politically, therefore, such a work as
that just completed by Miss Strickland is valuable
and interesting. The biography of Queen Anne,
which fills the twelfth volume, completes the series ;
that of Matilda, the wife of William the Conqueror,
commenced it. Between these two royal ladies a
group of very various but for the most part attractive
characters intervene, some celebrated for political
glory and some fur domestic virtues ; some con-
spicuous for their personal charms and others for
tY eir mental and moral qualities. Many incidents
connected with the Queens of England have been
familiar to most of us from our youth upwards—inci-
dents, perhaps, partly traditional and partly imaginary,
but for that very reason more attractive—" beloved
as fable and believed as truth." Who, for instance,
is not familiar with the picture of Eleanor sucking
the poison from her husband's wound, or of
Philippa of Hainault interceding for the burgesses of
Calais? Who is not acquainted with the infamy of
Isabella abandoning Edward 11. to the tortures of
Berkeley Castle, and then endeavouring to shield
from the just vengeance of her son " her gentle Mor-
timer ?" Who is not familiar with the broken
French of the bashful Katherine, when she responded
to the wooing of the royal soldier, as set forth by the
faithful pen of Shakspere ? Who cannot conjure
before him a glimpse of Margaret of Anjou and the
robber in the wood ? Who is not familiar with the
memorable words of Elizabeth Woodville, when
before her marriage with Edward IV. she told
him " she was not good enough to be his
wife, but too good to be his mistress ?"
Who is unacquainted with the seraglio of the English
Bluebeard, or the regal glories of the great Elisabeth?
Who has not been interested in the romantic court,
ship of Prince Charles and Henrietta Maria, and who,
again, that ever once perused the narrative has not
been haunted with the remembrance of Mary of Mo-
dena escaping by night with her infant in her arms ?
By the agency of incidents such as these the Queens
of England are more or less familiar to us all, but this
familiariaty, so far from diminishing, only enhances
the attractions of an accurate and elaborate history of
those Queens such as has been penned by Miss
Strickland. But not only is the theme
interesting and important in itself, the in-
dustry and ability of the fair authoress have
considerably increased and developed its interest and
importance. With a most unwearying and praise-
worthy patience and perseverance, Miss Strickland
has delved into the hidden stores of antiquity, and
brought to light whatever served to illustrate her
work. Her patience in collecting materials fully
quals her taste and discrimination in making use of
them. That patience, that taste, and that discrimina-
tion, added to Miss trickland's known eloquence of
style, have combined to render her work a most
valuable addition to modern history, and a most in-
valuable acquisition to that innumerable class
of persons who love to be amused as well as
instructed. In bidding (for the present only, let
us hope,) farewell to Miss Strickland, we have one
question to ask her. Why has she concluded
the " Queens of England" with Queen Anne ? We
are well aware of the delicacy and difficulty which
must have been attendant upon any delineation of
the royal ladies of recent times, even the Queen of
the third George, is perhaps too proximate for his-
tory, and the wife of George 1., the unhappy Sophia
of Zell, cannot rank as a Queen of England—of that
England in which she never set foot. But what does
Miss Strickland say to Caroline, the consort of George
11. ? Her history is not too recent for investigation,
and most assuredly it is a history well worthy of
Miss Strickland's searching analysis. Caroline was,
perhaps, as politically powerful as even Elizabeth
herself. Caroline's name is as much associated with
the records of the time in which she lived as is that
of her coadjutor Walpole. It is, moreover, almost
necessary that a faithful history should be written of
this Queen, because different contemporary accounts
render her character most incomprehensible. Her
great ability and her great political influence are
unquestioned, but there are two opinions as to her
individual disposition. For instance, there is a well-
known anecdote told in evidence of her never refusing
any of the King's requests. It is said, that when he
would ask her to walk out with him, when ill-health
rendered her incapable of such an exertion, she would
bathe her feet in cold water, in order to acquire a
little temporary strength, by which she was enabled
to accompany him in his promenade. Some com-
mentators cite this occurrence as an evidence of her
deep sense of her conjugal duties, while others de-
clare it was only an instance of her continual habit of
stooping to conquer. It is to clear up such points as
these, and to furnish us with a correct portrait of this
really remarkable woman, that we call upon Miss
Stri,kland not to pause in her historical labours until
she has added Caroline to her gallery of regal portraits.

rtirtur ACCUSATION.
Let us pass on to my next crime :—I have abstracted
twelve hundred thousand francs, or two millions of
money, from the public treasury. I have paid my
debts ; I have purchased lands in France, and houses
in England.
Here I must acknowledge, at ence, that I am very
much embarrassed, for I do not even know, at this
moment, whereabouts the public treasury is situated,
if it is not at the official residence of the Minister of
Finance, a Minister with whom I have never had any
communication whatever, and all whose operations
are submitted to ordonnances and verifications without
number, besides being supervised, figure by figure,
under the Court of Accounts which the Republic
allowed to continue in vigorous operation—in
such a manner that a single centime could
not be taken from the cheats without their
being able to trace it back to its source, or
without their following its vestiges to the hands of
its possessor through the whole labyrinth of the for-
malities and regulations of the Exchequer. My ac.
cusers may therefore remain in perfect tranquillity.
If I have really discovered these chests of the public
treasure, and if I have despoiled them of their ccn-
tents in the presence of the innumerable responsibili-
ties by which they are guarded and encompassed, and
in the presence of the innumerable officials who have
audited the accounts for their registration and verifi-
