LAMBETH.

The court was much crowded by persons to prefer
charges against a young woman, named Mary Wilson,
who has been in custody for some days, and who was
brought before Mr. Elliott for final examination.
Tne prisoner has been for some months carrying
on a most successful system of plunder by stripping
the children of respectable tradesmen of their cloth: s,
and by various promises and representations coaxing
them out of parcels and such property as they might
be entrusted with ; and the police, after a long and a
sharp look-out, ultimately succeeded in securing her.
As many as twenty charges could be clearly esta-
blished
.against her ; but Mr. Elliott deeming four
cases selected from the number sufficient to answer
the ends of public justice, the depositions were taken
in them, and the prisoner fully committed for trial.

County Court.
Mr. Charles Preston, chairman of the bomb, presided,
and among the other magistrates present were Mr. John
Griffiths, Mr. John Speed Davis, Mr. John Parnell, and
Mr. Richard Arabia.
The prisoners were brought from Ilford gaol, in the
custody of the governor of the prison at an early hour.
At twelve o'clock they were brought before the bench.
The court, from the moment the doors were opened, was
densely crowded.
The prisoners answered to their isanses ac George
Ro.e, John Cornish, Charles Eve, and Jesse Griffiths.
Mr. Prentice, a barrister, instructed by Mr. Clarke, so-
licitor to the Board of Ordnance, appeared for the pro-
secution. Mr. Parnell, the barrister, appeared for the
prisoner Charles Eve ; Howe was defended by Mr. John
Wakeling, solicitor, of Clerkenvvell ; Corni,h by Mr.
Sidney Smith, of Bsrnard's Inn ; and Griffiths by Mr.
Massey, of Edmonton.
Mr. Prentice briefly stated the case for the prosecu-
tion, and said that be proposed to charge Cornish and
Eve with the robbery, Griffiths as an accessory before
and after the fact,
and Rowe with receiving the goods,
knowing them to have been stolen.
The first witness called was Mr. Henry Topping.

at the bar, when, after Mr. Fell, the chief clerk, had
read over the whole of the depositions taken by him
at some length (the particulars have already appeared),
the prisoner, who said that she was delivered of the
child in the street, and that it was not born alive, was
fully committed for trial.

PORTUGAL.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the
19-h, and from Oporto to the 20th instant.
The insurrection may be considered as virtually at
an end ; the Count DE CABAL, the Governor of
Oporto, had refused to pronounce in favour of SAI,
DANIIA, and the latter, who had failed to off,ct a
junction with the sth Cacadores, under Colonel Joa-
QUIM 13hNTO, was endeavouring to effect his escape
into Spain. This intelligence is confirmed by the
receipt of the following telegraphic dispatch in Paris
from Madrid:—

" THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER OF

ceived by evil designers, who, wherever they may appeal
disturbing the public tranquility, and in wh,:,ever man.
ner, shali be apprehended arid ieveruly

Conde DE CABAL.

GERMAN Y.

The Ministerial journals of Berlin of the 21st,
state that Austria has proposed, in case of certain
events, to march 200,000 troops through Piedmont.
This proposnl, which has been submitted to the
Cabinet of - Turin, bas made a deep impression at
Berlin.

The same papers mention a secret treaty between
Russia and Austria, and that they endeavour to gain
the support of Prussia.
The object of the secret Austro-Russian treaty is
to protect Europe against the results of the crisis
which is impending in France. The Ministerial
papers contain an official contradiction of the rumours
which were lately circulated respecting Chevalier
Busisssr, the Prussian Ambassador at the Court of
St. James's, and protest that the Chevalier has not,
as has been asserted, been insulted by certain German
refugees.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
At the commencement of the month Austria and
Prussia came to an understanding on the course of
proceeding with respect to the Duchy of Holstein.
The Federal Commissioners will remain until a defi-
nitive Central Federal Power is organized, when
the latter power will administer the Government of
Holstein, and not restore it to the King of DEN-
MARK till he acknowledges all the rights of the Ger-
man Confederation. The Diet will finally settle the
relations between Holstei❑ and Schleswig.
The Danish Commissioner for Holstein, Professor
RAVIT, has claimed, in the meetings of the Commis..
sion charged with the settlement of the frontiers, the
province of Eidersledt for Holstein. He rests this
claim upon a concession of it by the Emperor
CHARLES V. This claim was quite unexpected by
the othei Commissioners.
London, England, 1851-04-24

WORSHIP-STREET.

A young man, named Joseph Samuel, surrendered
to his bail fur further examination, before Mr.
Arnold, charged with an assault of an aggravated de-
scription upon the person of his mother's servant,
Elizabeth Davey, 15 years of age.
Mr. Wontner conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Clarkson, barrister, appeared for the defence.
It having been intimated by the magistrate that he
proposed at present to extend the bail for a week, for
the purpose of having the notes of the evidence re-
duced to regular depositions, preparatory to the de-
fendant's committal upon the charge,
Mr. Clarkson rose and said, that be should avail
himself of that opportunity to call the magistrate's
attention to a report of the former proceedings, which
had appeared in one of the papers, and which was
written in a manner calculated to be of serious detri-
ment to the character and interests of the defendant.
It was only justice to the gentlemen employed to
furnish reports of the cases occurring at the different
courts to say, that they were in the habit almost in•
variably of discharging their duties with perfect fair-
ness and impartiality ; but in this instance he had to
complain that only that portion of the evidence which
went to aggravate the case against his client had been
inserted in the publication in question, and that it was
altogether a most unfair and one-sided report of the
priiceedings.
Mr. ARNOLD said that he had himself noticed the
report to which the Learned Gentlemen referred, and
that he fully concurred in his observations respecting it.
After a brief discussion as to the propriety of in-
troducing into the depositions the evidence given by
the mother of the accused at the first examination,
the same bail was formally extended for the final ap-
pearance of the defendant on Wednesday next.
A man named Thomas llPArthy, described as a
costermonger, was ctairged with an infamous assault
upon a little girl, named Agnes Nayson, six years of
age.
Evidence was given against the prisoner by the
complainant and another little girl of the same age,
but the details were wholly unfit for publication.
The prisoner, who denied the charge, was ordered
to be remanded for a week.

OUR NATIVE LAND.

"Our Native Land; or, England and the Seasons,"
is the title of a new diorama exhibited at the Gallery
of Illustration, Regent-street. It consists of anum-
ber of views, some apparently wholly imaginary,
others representing various picturesque localities in
England, arranged in four divisions, according to the
seasons, and peopled with groups engaged in the rural
labours or sports appropriate to the time of year.
The period chosen seems rather to be the last than
the present century, fur the peasants are engaged in
the now almost extinct sports of the harvest home
and the Maypole, while the gentry are attired in the
costume and engaged in the occupations of Sir
Roger de Coverly and his companions. Besides the
views which are intended to convey a representation
of rural life, there are several others of localities in-
teresting for their historical associations, or for their
beauties or scenery. Amongst these are views of the
North Foreland, the Town and Castle of Windsor,
Greenwich H'spital, the Thames at Twickenham,
Dever, &c. The diorama has been painted by Messrs.
Gripve, Telbin, and John Absolon, and the numerous
groups of animals which it contains, by Mr. J. F.
Herring, sen.

TUE THIRD EDITION OF THE SUN.

In a review in the Expositor of this week of Mr.
ViTeale's work, entitled " Lonoon Exhibited in 1851," we
find the following paragraph
In the statistical part, spe king of the London press,
our author says, The evening papers, since the estab-
lishment of the morning mails enabled the morning
papers to reach the country districts, are of diminished
importance.' Now substitute early railway trains' for
' morning mails,' and the statement will be pertly corrEct.
The London morning papers sent by early Irainv arrive
at wetly Jar...) towns before the morning mails start from
L mama. Bu' still -co cannot say we c')neider the con-
tents of such an ev .nlng paper as we find The Sun
diminish"•d in importance. The third edition of this
paper octen contains the whole of a debate; which,
being dispatched by the evening mail, reach( s important
towns in many parts, tsp.ci,lly the north, by post, ten
and twelve hours earlier than the morning papers sent
off by.the fir.t trains, so that few reading and nt-ws
rooms, public institutions, or first-rate hottli. are with-
out that journal. Our author states as a matter of curio-
sity that one fi-m of news-agents take as many fl 3 5;000
c,pies of one weekly met. We may be allowed to
sr Ire, if it is a matter the pub:No care to know anything
about; that Messrs. Joseph Clayton and Sou, news-
agents, 265, Strand, supply nearly double that number
of our journal alone to their numerous staff of country
agents."

Mr. Henry Berk-ley, the Member for Bristol, has
received a requisition from his constituents, to deliver a lec-
ture in Bristol on the subject of the Ballot. The lion.
Member was to deliver his lecture last evening, and has made
it a condition th it shoul i be for the benefit of the new
hospital about to be erected in that city.

GERMAN Y.

The Ministerial journals of Berlin of the 21st,
state that Austria has proposed, in case of certain
events, to march 200,000 troops through Piedmont.
This proposal, which has been submitted to the
Cabinet of Turin, has made a deep impression at
Berlin.

The same papers mention a secret treaty between
Russia and Austria, and that they endeavour to gain
the support of Prussia.
Tt:e object of the secret Austro-Russian treaty is
to protect Europe against the results of the crisis
which is impending in France. The Ministerial
papers contain an official contradiction of the rumours
which were lately circulated respecting Chevalier
BUNSEN, the Prussian Ambassador at the Court of
St. James's, and protest that the Chevalier has not,
as has been asserted, been insulted by certain German
refugees.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
At the commencement of the month Auoria and
Prussia came to an understanding on the course of
proceeding with respect to the Duchy of Holstein.
The Federal Commissioners will remain unul a defi-
nitive Central Federal Power is organized, when
the latter power will administer the Government of
Holstein, and not restore it to the King of DEN-
MARK till he acknowledges all the rights of the Ger-
man Conf. deration. The Diet will finally settle the
relations between Holstein and Schleswig.
The Danish Commissioner fur Holstein, Professor
DAVIT, has claimed, in the meetings of the Commis-
sion charged with the settlement of the frontiers, the
province of Eidersledt for Holstein. He rests this
claim upon a concession of it by the Emperor
CHARLES V. This claim was quite unexpected by
the other Commissioners.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

Mr. James Anderson, lessee and man iger of the Theatre Royal

general, as well also Messieurs les Stranlera, that he has determined
upon a GREAT REDUCTION IN THE PRICES OF ADMISSION

In order to avoid the reproach of taking an unworthy advantage
Of the time, and those who h-nour us with their presence, the
essee has arranged his scale of prices so that they may tally, as near
as possible, with those of the continental theatres. And as every
one who visits these shores must of n,cessity be desirous
of visiting the National theatre (so liberally patronised by the Go-
vernin'oot, the Court, and the country) to witness the representation
of the Immortal works of our great dramatist, the Lessee has, in
order to facilitate the wishes of all parties, deteradned upon the fol-
lowing scale of prices :

ROYAL DISPENSARY FOR DISEASES OF THE EAR.-
The annual meeting of the friends of this charity was held
yesterday afternoon at the institution, Dean-street, Soho, the
Hon. and Rev. W. H. Legge in the chair. The report of
the committee stated that the institution had now been in
operation upwards of thirty years, and during that time it
had become justly celebrated as an institution which had
been the means of restoring an important faculty to thou-
sands who would otherwise have been disqualified from fol-
lowing their daily vocations. During the past year 976
patients had been received, of whom 550 were cured, 160
were relieved, and 266 remained under treatment. The pa-
tients consisted generally of clerks, needlewornen, domestic
servan s, artisans, distressed foreigners, sailors, soldiers, and
police. The chief causes of loss 3f hearing were living in
confined or damp localities, intemperance, want of cleanli-
ness, and out-of-door exercise, insufficient or adulterated
food, wet feet or clothing, and sleeping in damp beds or
rooms. While these causes of disease remained in operation
it was impossible for the medical man to do more than miti-
gate the symptoms. No class of disease seemed to be more
subject to quackery and empiricism thin that of deafness, and
a variety of inefficient operations and absurd remedies were
suggested for the relief of those whose cure depended entirely
upon a regular and scientific course of treatment. In no one
instavce had the treatment adopt-d at the institution pro-
duced injurious results, even where it had failed to restore
hewing. In concluding their report the committee earnestly
solicited the aid of the public to maintain this valuable
charity, and to extend its sphere of ope-ations. On the
motion of Mr. Burt, seconded by Dr. Richards, the report
waiadopted, and the meeting separated after thanking the
chairman.

SHEERNESS CHURCH or FIRE.--On Sunday morn-
ing, during service, two men who were walking through
Minster churchyard, discovered the roof of the church to be
on fire. They instantly made an ala?m, and prompt assis-
tance being given by many of the congregation, in a short
time the fire was extinguished, very little damage being
done. The caaie of the fire, it is supposed, was a portion of
soot from a funnel chimney being blown off and lodging
against the lead covering of one of the hips, which resulted
in the ignition of one of the
the slating boards, rafters and a small portion of

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, APRIL 21.—The new postal con-
vention concluded between the Netherlands and
Prussia, and consequently including also the territory
of the German Austrian postal treaty, has just come
into operation. It is to be in full force until the close
of 1560, when the German-Austrian treaty likewise
terminates.
Holland will now send via Prussia all the corre-
spondence for Austria, Germany, Rtl9.la, and Poland,
as well as for Wallachia, Moldavia, Sweden and
.Norway, whenever the latter goes by Stralsund and
S'ettio. The correspondence for Italy, Greece, the
L-vant, the lonian I-lands, Egypt, India, &c., goes
via Prus-ia, whenever this is the shortest route. The
postage is reduced to 5 cents. for a distance below, and
10 cents. for a distance above, 10 leagues fur the
single letter of 15 grammes. Newspapers, &c., are to
pay 5 cents per oz.
Recomnv- oiled letters must be pre-paid, and an in-
demnity of 25f1. paid by the post-office which has lost
such recommended letter. No postal pre-payment is
allowed. The Netherlands may send closed mail
bags to the colonies via Prussia, and Prussia may send
to, and receive from, England, America, and Bel-
gium, via Holland.

OUR NATIVE LAND.

" Our Native Land; or, England and the Seasons,"
is the title of a new diorama exhibited at the Gallery
of Illustration, Regent-street. It consists of a num-
ber of views, some apparently wholly imaginary,
others representing various picturesque localities in
England, arranged in four divisions, according to the
seasons, and peopled with groups engaged in the rural
labours or sports appropriate to the time of year.
The period chosen seems rather to be the last than
the present century, for the peasants are engaged in
the now almost extinct sports of the harvest home
and the Maypole, while the gentry are attired in the
costume and engaged in the occupations of Sir
Roger de Coveriy and his companions. Besides the
views which are intended to convey a representation
of rural life, there are several others of localities in-
teresting for their historical associations, or for their
beauties of scenery. Amongst these are views of the
North Foreland, the Town and Castle of Windsor,
Greenwich Ilnspital, the Thames at Twickenham,
Dover, &c. The diorama has been painted by Messrs.
Grieve, Telbin, and John Absolon, and the numerous
groups of animals which it contains, by Mr. J. F.

referred to Captain Eden, who he said would give him
a character.

Mr. Haan; considering the case required further
investigation, ordered the prisoner to be remanded.

John Henry Eaton appeared to his bail, to answer
the charge of having violated Eliza Smith, a pauper
girl in the workhouse of St. Pancras.

The particulars of the case have already been de-
tailed in our columns.

The most intense interest was manifested, and the
court was crowded to excess by the parish authorities
and others who felt an interest in the case.

Mr. Ballantine attended for the prosecution ; and
Mr. Richard Field, on account of the London Society
for the Protection of Young Females, was also in at.

with Mr. Wontner, attended for the defence.
What took place was a mere reiteration of what
occurred on the first examination, and the defendant
was remanded.
