change. They make industrious men idle, and tempt
sober men to drink. They empty the workshops and
fill the public-houses. All the excitement, the alarm,
the noise, the fuss of these things is so much, at the
week's end, out of poor people's pockets. Mr. Charles
Cochrane does not seem to be a man much given to
thought ; but possibly he does possess the faculty, in
a latent form, of connecting causes and consequences.
lie may, at any rate, assure himself that contemp-
tuous and indignant public reprobation will be the lot

at the expense of the labouring classes, and who ob-
stinately courts notoriety in the character of disturber
of the public streets.

persons from Leicester-square to the Home-office,
yesterday, for the alleged purpose of presenting a
petition to the Home authorities on the subject of
pauper grievances. The police, however, acting on
instructions, gave notice to Mr. Cochrane that the
procession would not be permitted. About 100 or
150 persons assembled in Leicester• square, where
there was a carriage said to belong to Mr. Cochrane,
and a van covered with pictures containing repre-
sentations of scenes which were asserted to take place
in various union workhouses. The carriage and van
were permitted to move off towards the Home-office,
but the few who were disposed to form the procession
were stopped by the police, and required to disperse.
The defendant was very violent—he used coarse
language to the police, and ultimately struck a con-
stable a violent blow on the face. He was imme-
diately taken into custody and brought to this
court.

The prisoner's answer was the same which he in
the first instance made, viz., that he bought the fowl.
Mr. Collard remarked that there had been so many
robberies committed by the company's servant 3, that
a determination had been come to that all cases which
seemed at all clear, so as to afford a chance of convic-
tion after trial, should be followed up, with the view
of punishing the delinquents.
The prisoner was committed for trial ; but, upon
the application of his solicitor, he was permitted to
put in bail, himself in 801. and two sureties in 401.
each, to answer the charge at the sessions.

had paid over the amount to the proper parties, has
since written to make inquiries, and has received the
following reply :

• " Sir,—ln reply to your letter of April 13, I have

CLERICAL DELINQUENCY.
The parish of Rawmarsh, near Sheffield, has lately
been the scene of very remarkable doings on the part
of the officiating clergyman. In November last the
rector of Rawmarsh, the Rev. W. R. Mahon, having
resolved upon spending the winter months in Ireland,
took steps for procuring a gentleman to assume his
pastoral duties in his absence, and through the medium
of an advertisement in the Ecclesiastical Gazette was
brought into communication with an individual who
represented himself as the Hon. and Rev. B. C. D.
F. Fairfax. Aarangements were speedily completed,
and Mr. Mahon departed for Ireland early in Novem-
ber, not having had an interview with Mr. Fairfax,
but the latter gentleman having undertaken to appear
in the pulpit on the ensuing Sabbath.
True to the compact, Mr. Fairfax arrived at Raw-
marsh rectory—his future home—on the Saturday
evening, preparatory to the assumption of those im-
portant duties that had been delegated to him. He
was a young man—perhaps twenty-five, or he might
be a year or two older. In stature he was tall and
slender, of dark complexion, with large expressive
dark eyes, and jetty hair. The ladies thought him
handsome. He soon made confidants of divers of the
villagers, and upon the minds of these he most sedu-
lously imprinted the fact that he was nobly born, and
one of the mighty ones of the earth. His private
fortune was represented at 20,0001. a year; and the
profuse liberality that he began to display seemed to
warrant the assertion. The children of the schools
were regaled sumptuously during his first week with
claret, &c. Like a faithful minister, he was inces-
santly active in every part of the parish, and was
markedly attentive to those who did not form part of
his congregation, or who were known to cherish a
spirit of hostility to the Established Church. All
these were asked why they did not go to church ; and
if a want of suitable personal habiliments was named
as an impediment—which, during the. existing dull-
ness of trade, was no doubt in many cases the fact—
the obstacle was at once surmounte d by an order
upon the village tailor, or hater, or shoemaker, or
bonnet maker, according to the necessities of the
individual. •

" To Mr. George Hall."
It is suspected also that a collection for the dis-
tressed Irish has shared the same fate, but this is not
certainly known to be the case. It now turns out,
too, that the money which this worthy has received
on account of the clothing club, with the exception
of the receipts for the first fortnight after his arrival,
has not been paid into the bank, as it ought to have
been, and there is a deficit to the extent of between
201. and 30/. Mr. 'Fairfax made many allusions
to his aristocratic mother, Lady Fairfax, whose
residence he said was at Leeds Castle, Maidstone,
Kent, and which august personage he pretended was
about to pay him a visit at the rectory. We can
state as a fact that no such person is known at Leeds
Castle. We believe that in days of yore it waa the
seat of the Fairfaxes, but the family have been obli-
terated from the locality centuries ago, having " gone
and left no address."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Emma Young, a well-dressed woman, who stated
her age to be thirty- one years, was brought before
Alderman Gibbs, in the custody of Daniel Forrester,
the officer, charged with having attempted to utter a
forged note purporting to be of the issue of the Bank
of England for 51.
A gentlemap attended from the office of Messrs.
Freshfield, solicitors to the Bank of England, for the
prosecution.
William Smith, clerk to Messrs. Ridgway and Co.,
tea- dealers, King William-street, said Between
eleven and twelve o'clock that day, the prisoner came
to the shop for a pound and a half of tea, and ten-
tered the note produced, numbered and dated 30390,
Nov. 16, 46, and signed W. Peskin. Upon looking
at it I thought it not genuine, and I took it inside
and found the same opinion was 'formed. It was
then taken to the Bank, where it was pronounced a
forgery.
Mr. Freeman, inspector of the Bank, said he at
once detected the forgery, and went to Messrs. Ridg-
way's shop, where he saw the person seated. Upon
being questioned she said her name was Young, and
that she resided at No. 24, East-lane, Walworth, and
was a married woman. She said she did not get the
note from her husband, but from a gentleman, with
whose name or address she was not acquainted. Upon
being told she must be detained, she observed that
such would be a very arbitrary proceeding.
Alderman Glans (to the prisoner)—Do you wish
to ask the witness any question ? Prisoner—No. He
will not say that I was not willing to come here ?
Witness—You were not unwilling.
Daniel Forrester said that when be took her into
custody she said a young man had given it to her to
go into the shop and get it changed. The people at
East-lane knew her when witness called upon them
on the subject. She did not reside there it appeared,
but her relations did ; and they stated that her hus-
band was a seafaring man, and she had not lived with
him for some time.
The bank-note was in some respects admirably ex-
ecuted, but it was extremely defective in other points,
which the Bank inspector did not consider it abso-
lute wisdom to specify, inasmuch, as when officials
from the establishment have mentioned on any occa-
sions were errors lay, they were sure, in the next
issue of spurious paper, to find great ingenuity exer-
cised in the correction. In the present case the
figure at the corner of the note was as like as possible
to that in the genuine note.
The prisoner was remanded.
BOW-STREET.
A strong-made man, in the service of the Woods
and Forests, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall,
charged with brutally assaulting a little boy, under
eight years of age.
From the tender age of the boy Mr. Hall did not
think it proper to have him sworn or examined.
Inspector Lun, of the A division, stated that the
complainant, with another boy, was endeavouring to
press the spring of one of the pumps belonging to the
Woods and Forests, in order to get some water to
water some flowers which they had. The prisoner,
who is in the service of the Woods and Forests, and
has charge of several of the pumps, came up and
struck the boy several times in a violent and brutal
manner on the side and other parts of the body,
knocked him down, kicked him, and injured his
finger, which bled profusely. The prisoner was then
taken into custody. The public had a right to use
the pump, which was placed there for public use.
The prisoner said that he had only struck the boy
on the shoulder with his open hand. He was bound
to protect the property, and the spring of the pump in
question had been broken several times before by boys
who attempted to press the spring.
The inspector stated that the prisoner struck
the boy several times with all his force with his
clenched fist.
A Mr. Eason, who represented himself as the son
of the engineer of the Woods and Forests waterworks,
stepped forward and said that the prisoner had been
three years in the service, and had always acted with
humanity. Although nothing could justify so brutal
an assault, he wished to state that the prisoner bad on
two or three occasions taken boys to the station-house
for interfering with the spring, but no punishment
had been inflicted by the magistrate.
Mr. HALL said that the assault was a most brutal
one, and could not be justified under any;leircum-
stances. He was sure the Woods and Forests would
be the first to reprehend such conduct. The prisoner
might have discharged his duty to his masters by
giving a slight slap to the boy, even supposing him to
be acting:improperly- With respect to what had been
said as to boys who had been given into custody before,
and dismissed ;without punishment, the magistrate
had only to administer the law, not to make it; and
if those boys had int:tinged no law it was not in the
power of the magistrate to punish them. It fre-
quently happened that those who, like the prisoner,
were most apt to break the law, were the first to
complain most loudly that magistrates did not enforce
it. The prisoner was evidently a man of a violent
and brutal temper, and it was necessary that he should
be punished for committing

The prisoner cried and whined very penitentially,
and attributed his violence to the effect of too much
drink.

Mr. BINGHAM said, the unmanly exhibition which
the prisoner now made satisfied him that there was
no sound cause for apprehending that he meditated
any very desperate invasion of the public peace. He
wished, however, for the defendant's own sake, and
the sake of others, that the defendant was at that mo-
ment in France, and kne,w French sufficiently to en-
able him to comprehend what was passing there at
this moment. Before the revolution, there was one
man out of every two who was without work or
settled means of subsistence; while in this country
the proportion was not more than one man out of
every ten, and with this advantage, that here there
was a poor-law and a workhouse to resort to, while
in France there was nothing of the sort. Since the
Revolution things had become much worse, and there
was neither employment nor means of subsistence for
the working classes in. Trance. About 30,000 men
were supported in the Municipal Guard, and when
that source failed, he kn ew of nothing that could be
resorted to for a supply of funds. As he was inclined
to think the defendant was not likely to use a pike or
fortmghies imprisonment only.

It is only just to Mr. Mahon to state, that, to use
his own words, " the references and testimonials,
&c. (of Mr. Fairfax) appeared quite satisfactory,
and I selected him in preference to others who were
proposed."
We understand that the missing one's creditors,
feeling themselves so shamefully duped, have re-
solved to use every means of redress that civil or
ecclesiastical law affords them. No doubt they will
communicate with the bishop of the diocese.—Shef-

had fallen on to the floor of the bar from the

ankle deep, and several nen were employed for four
or five hours in baling it out with cans and bowls.
Two hundred gallons of different kinds were, by the
malignant and shameful proceeding of some parties,
rendered valueless to the : prosecutor. About 10s. in
silver and copper mone, r, as also wearing apparel, a
plated candlestick, and a ome other things of no great
value, were missed from the house. There was no
direct evidence against the prisoners, but circum-
stances of a strongly suspicious nature regarding both
of them were adduced. 'They were in the tap-room

Billy Mann, and all of them quitted the room in

We recollect very well one fine summer day, in the
year 1812 or 1813, of taking a walk down to the
Broomielaw, to see the shipping, the gabbarts of 50
and 60 tons burthen, and the " fly-boat," with its
coarse red painted awning, &c. It was no difficult
matter then to walk to the bottom of the quay ; but
at the extremity of it, on that day, there lay a sort of
toy, a small steam-vessel, named the Comet, which
everybody laughed at, which the sailors jeered at ;
and the maker, Henry Bell, was talked of as a " half-
daft, crazy man," for producing such a foolish affair
in the face of day. Nothing daunted with this, as the
vessel was about to sail, we took a passage to
Greenock, in that little craft, the precursor and the
germ of all the splendid steam-ships which now move
along the waters in every sea. The Comet was the
subject of merriment to the sailors and spectators, as
we smoked out of the harbour—in fact, she was
always so, whenever she smoked; and the indignant
saying of the old " fly-boat" captain at the time,
namely, that " he had the pleasure to sail with the
Almighty's wind and not with the devil's reek," may
serve as a sample of the feeling which was entertained
at the outset of the new invention. The Comet had
an engine of three horse power, with a raised deck,
like the canal passage-boats, the company entering
by a door before the helm. To have ventured past
Greenock at that period, and for a considerable time
after, in a steam-boat, would have been accounted a
tempting of Providence.
On the 20th April, 1848, we again took a walk to
the Broomielaw. But such a change 1 The quays
upon both sides extended as far as the eye could
reach, and the harbour was filled with leviathan ships
from every quarter of the globe. The place of the
little Comet of three-horse power was supplied by
dozens of magnificent Liverpool steamers, and Dublin
steamers, and ships of war, and ships from China;
and there is the Niagara, just nearly ready for sailing.
How we do wish for a sight of the Comet of 1812
alongside of this splendid floating palace, of 1,800 tons
burden, and 700-horse power I Having stepped on
board, we discovered, through the politeness of our
friend Captain Rylie (who is an accomplished and
genuine seaman), that the Niagara belonged to the
British and North American Royal ;Mail Steam-ship
Company ; that she was built by Mr. Steel, of
Greenock, and fitted up with engines by Mr. Robert
Napier, of this city, as a companion to the other
splendid new steam-ships the America, the Europa,
and the Canada, all of the same class, and belonging
to the same company. We had no time to take
down any detailed account of the internal fitting-
up and workings of this wonderful vessel, but we
learned that the number of berths was 180, and
we saw that the steward's pantry, under the
able superintendence of Mr. Emans, was all that could
be wished for in a voyage across the Atlantic, or any-
where else. We then:entered the grand saloon, and
we must say that a more noble and chastely decorated
apartment we have never seen. It is impossible, in
this short notice, to do anything like justice, but as
we shall take a look at it again, and report, it may
only be necessary here to state that the beautiful
paintings (scenes in the Prairies) and elegant deco-
rations, are the workmanship of Mr. W. B. Simpson,
of West Strand, London, under the able and judicious
superintendence of his foreman, Mr. Hobbes, a gen-
tleman possessed of the most exquisite taste and skill
in his delightful art. Truly, such a noble vesSel is a
proud trophy of the energy and wealth of the proprie-
tors, as well as of the talents and skill of all concerned
in its formation. The Niagara sails on Saturday for
the Gareloch to have her compasses adjusted. We
hope that Captain Washington (who praises the river
trustees the one day for their exertions to improve
the river, and condemns them the next) would come
to witness the sailing down the Clyde of this mighty
vessel, which

tional.

By the time that his Reverence boa been a month
or so in his new quarters, and wh. an he found his
credit among the tradespeople unlimited—which,
by the way, he had pretty well tested, for his
own external appearance had undergone a won-
derful improvement—he began to make some
important additions to his household, which hitherte
had consisted of only one female dos nestle. There
arrived one day at the rectory a youth whom Mr.
Fairfax described as his page, a youth about whom
there appeared a great deal of mystery. There also
arrived another personage, even more mysterious
looking than the former, whose sex purported to be
masculine—at least the dress so indicated. This

guise. If this was so, her relation to the occupant of
the rectory will be easily inferred, Lad the necessity
for the disguise will be apparent.
However good Mr. Fairfax's cretlit might be, it
soon became evident that he had very little money at
command. The few payments that :he made—and
they were few—were mostly in four penny pieces, a
description of coin which the villagers brought to him
in profusion once a fortnight, as mit ributions to a
clothing club. From this source he received about
71. a fortnight. He was straitened in :his finances, he
said, on account of his father's stew and having ab-
sconded with a very large :sum of money. When
allusion was made to his family cow aexions and ac-
quaintances, he made the most con tradictory state-
ments. He laid claim to America as the place of his
birth, and said that he had very e:xtensive estates
there. He also stated that he was the only surviving
son of Lord Fairfax, who was an intimate friend of
Earl Fitzwilliam ; but that nobleman, who resides in
the neighbourhood, disclaims any kno tvledge of either
Lord Fairfax or his reverend son.

The time allotted for Mr. Fairfax's: sojourn draw-
ing to a close, sundry tradesmen's accounts were
presented for payment. Mr. Mah.Dti returned to
Rawmarsh on Friday, the last day in March, and
then odd parties dropped in at the rectory, and begged
that they might have a settlement .of their small
accounts, but not a farthing could they get—
nothing but excuses. Suspicions thon I arose among
them that they had been dupe d, and their
worst fears were soon strengthened.. Mr. Fairfax
left the rectory on the following Mo n.day, under the
pretence of spending a few days at IV histon rectory,
and saying that he shculd return in a few days ; but
it was ascertained that he Lid taken -up his quarters
at the Prince of Wales' Hotel, at Mas biro', whence he
departed by train in a northwardly d irection, at four
o'clock on the morning of the fol lowing Friday,
without having paid one shilling to his creditors.
He took away with him an immense quantity of lug-
gage—property that he got from tradespeople at
Sheffield, Rotherham, and elsewhere. The page and
"Johnny" had been dispatched by t rain in opposite
directions.

After Mr. Fairfax's disappearance I om Rawmarsh
under such discreditable circumstance: s, it occurred to
the mind of one of the churchward e ns, Mr. Hall,
that Mr. Fairfax had received the atriount of a col-
lection made in the church on Sunday, the 12th ult.,
in favour of the Propagation Society, i n obedience to
the Queen's Letter. The sum collecii :d was about

Dinner at Six o'clock punctually.
Tke Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolence
tmdcr circumstances of more than usual urgency.
It is now two years since the last festival.
During that time, while the prevalence of epidemic disease and
general distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, and
the cost of maintaining the charity has been further augmented by
klgh prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans
for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the
bviilding. They have thus incarred expenses and liabilities to a large
Mount.
*reserved fund of upwards of 5,0005. has been exhausted, and a
debt of 1,1501. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been
"Peudeat for its maintenance on a loan from the Treasurer.

,21113 charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the
and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open
"w▪ l
a free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the pnr-
Ifesse
of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen
:"a Ministers officiating in the surrounding parishes are invited to
'end Patients.
Of the annual cost of maintaining the charity on its present footing
aahl:elety is contributed by the Med Val School of University College,
Cnit 2.5001. being annually paid over by the Council to the Hospital
~'araittee as the amount of students' fees for clinical instruction.
he disbursements amount to 5,0001. ; a deficiency of 1,9001. has to
aThrsidesi for every year.
Beds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an-
t of supporting the ccuants of 60 additional beds is es-
:"ated at 1500/. The ambero pof beds which the Hospital is now
Pablo of containing is 200.
number of patients was last year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were
14a,tlents, and 503 women in childbirth, attended at their own ha-

aPPlicants.

A. BUSINESS RHYME for EASTER TIME.
I'll weave a rhyme for Easter time,
That holiday of spring ;
When flags display their colours gay,
And merry changes ring.
Hail, Easter, hail ! Thy joys prevail,
Wherever we may turn ;
Thy hours give birth to scenes of mirth,
Which none but stoics spurn.

The Nay fair, where crowds repair,
Or animated park,
Has ever been a cheerful scene,
Which thousands gladly mark.
'Tis there we view the dresses new,
From MOSES' noted Mart ;
Unmatched attire, which all admire,
As elegantly smart.

MOSES and SON have ever won
The highest approbation
For Easter dress, which all confess,
Unequalled in the nation.

These garments prime, for Easter time.
Claim fashion's palm for MOSES ;
And all admire the choice attire
Which such such a Mart discloses.
