o say ? Prisoner-I'll tell you candidly. ve
ben lately very much reduced. I have served in
the navy, and walked down to Chatham to try to get
a situation as writer to the First Lieutenant on board
the Thunderer ; but being unsuccessful returned to
town yesterday, and went to the house of com-
plainant, as he has stated.
Mr. RAmaNsoN—You appear to have received
a good education ? Prisoner—Yes, Sit ; but to
account for my having soy knowledge of the classics,
I was intended for the same profession as Mr. Gray,
but I absconded from my friends.
The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday to
ascertain whether he was known to a society called
the Begging Letter Society, as also to inquire into
the truth of what he had stated.

PARISH APPRENTICES.—Mr. Hall, the beadle
and assistant overseer of St. Botolph Without,
Aldgate, brought a little girl, named Pa,:st, aged
ten years, before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. COMBE,
for the purpose of binding her as an apprentice to
a tailoress.
Mr. BALLANTINE, on being made acquainted with
the nature of the application, appeared much sur-
prized that a child of such tender years should be
brought there for the purpose of binding her. He
inquired if her parents were in attendance, or if
their consent had been asked.
Hall said the girl was an illegitimate child, and
her father and mother were dead. She had lately
been passed to the parish of Aldgate from St. Se-
pulchre's, Snowhill.
Mr. BALLANTINE—She is very short. Do y'
mean to say she is ten years of age ? There is
nothing of her. Hall—She was passed to us as
being under ten, but she is a very robust, healthy
child, and her intended mistress, with whom she
has been on liking, has taken quite a liking to her.
Mr. BALLANTINE—She certainly appears healthy
enough, but she is too young. What business is
her mistress ?
A very respectable and intelligent woman here
stepped forward and said she was the intended
mistress. Her business was that of a tailoress, and
the girl was very willing to be her apprentice.
Mr. BALLANTINE-1 shall ask her about that by
and by. You make waistcoats, I suppose ? The
mistress—Yes, Sir.
The
Mr. BALLANTINE—Have you any family
mistress—l have two children, Sir, a boy and a
girl, aged eight and ten years. My boy goes to
school.
Mr. BALLANTINE—That is the very place this
girl ought to go to. If you set her to hard work
you will stop her growth, which appears to be much
curtailed already. Are you willing to be a tai-
loress, girl ? Has this woman used you well ? The
girl said her mistress was very kind to her.
Mr. BALLANTINE asked if theirl habeen edu-
cated ? Hall—The parish have instructed her in
the usual way..
BALLANTINE—What, is the usual way ?
Hall—She has leaned to read, Sir.
Mr. BALLANTINE-LI suppose she knew how to
read when St. Sepulchre's parish sent her to you ?
Hall admitted that she did.
Mr. COMBE—Then Aldgate have not done much
for her since she has been with them.

cholera prevails in the small town of Middleton, county of
Armagh, and in the town of Emyvale, in the county of
Monaghan. We are sorry to learn also that the disease
has appeared in Ballybay, in the latter county. The
number of cases in the town of Monaghan amounted to
106 ; deaths 58 ; recoveries 48. In Tanderagee, the
Luinber of cases was SS; deaths 39 ; recoveries 49 ;
convalescent 10.—Enniskillen Chronicle.
THE WESTERN LITERARY AND SCIEN-
TIFIC INSTITUTION.—Yesterday evening this institution
held its half-yearly meeting, when a general view of the
state of its affairs was taken before a numerous assemblage.
From this exposa it would seem that all the arrangements
!or forwarding the very meritorious objects of the esta-
blishment are in excellent state, and that its library is
considerably augmented. From some cause or other,
however, the number of its members does nct increase,
and, consequently, its funds are not in a very palmy state.
A good deal of discussion took place in the course of
the night's proceedings, in which we regretted to observe
not a little confusion and inurbanity. Sir .1 •hn Cam
liobhouse, who presided on the occasion wish much good
temper, intelligence, and address, had on the occasion
every need for such qualifications of chairmanship.
