it highly necessary that the dignitaries of our Church
should bestir themselves, and keep a rather more
watchful eye than they have hitherto done over the
spiritual interests committed to their charge and su-
perintendence, so that whin the dangers threaten us
to which the Church must nece-s,rily he expoied
f:rotn the and in,ali,.as attack, of her ene-
mies, we may be ready to look to our guides and
authorities in religious matters fur advice and en-
couragement, and that they may be prepared to show
us those steps which will go a long way towards dis-
arming religious apprehensions and doubts.—(Great
applause.) And now I resume my seat, glad of the
opportunity I have had of meeting to address you,
and very grateful for the attention with -which you
have listened to my observations, as well as the flatter-
ing reception you have given me. Important matters
vvill be brought before the consideration of the House
of Commons during the next session, and I trust you
will give me credit for an impartial and conscientious
discharge of my Parliamentary duties. I apprehend
that after the lapse of time, when we shall compare
notes, I shall have as much gratification in meeting
you on public grounds, as I am sure I shall always
enjoy in meeting you on private, and that you, the
constituency, may be enabled to express your nth.,
faction at the fact that amidst the shoals of conflicting
opinions and the shallows of contending parties, I have
judiciously steered my course into this welcome har-
bour of refuge. (On resuming his seat the. Hon.
Baronet was rapturously applauded. In fact, the
matter of his speech, no less than the style of delivery,
produced an electrical effect upon the company, and
many were the comments of comparison and remarks
of congratulation that circulated throughout the
room.)

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.

Charles Schonster was brought up for re-examina-
tion, charged with stealing two silver forks and spoons
from Simpson's Hotel, in the Strand.
Mr. Dawes, a partner of Mr. Simpson, identified
the property stolen, which had been offered for sale at
Mr. Tate's, pawnbroker, by the prisoner.
The evidence in this case appeared last week, and
nothing further having been elicited, the prisoner
was committed for trial at the Central Criminal
Court.

James Joseph Stanley was then placed at the bar,
on remand, for stealing a silver fork and spoon from
the Kent Tavern, Brownlow-street, Holborn.
The depositions having been completed, the prisoner
was fully committed.
He was then charged with stealing a fork and spoon
from Wood's cavern, Portugal street.
George Morson, shopman to Mr. Fleming, pawn-
broker, Farringdon-street, stated that on the 11th of
January, prisoner came to the shop and pledged the
fork and spoon produced for 184. He could swear it
was the prisoner who pledged the fork, but could not
be certain as to the spoon.
Anthony Pittard, waiter at Wood's Tavern, recog-
nised the fork and spoon, and stated that on the 11th
of January they were missed from the coffee•room
a his master's.

Prisoner was committed on this charge also.
A third charge was brought against him for
stealing a silver spoon from the shop of Mr. Ehr-
hard, paArycook in the Strand, on the 13th of
January.
The case having been proved. he was committed
for trial on this ch,rge likewise.
There were several other similar cases apinst the
prisoner, who appears to have carried on his nefarious
practices to a large extent.
THAMES.

Dennis Driscoll, an Irish labourer, and Ellen Dris-
coll, his sister, were brought before Mr. Ingham,
charged with committing violent assaults on George
Ball, police-sergeant 21 H, and Robert Creese, a con •
stable, 37 H. This case disclosed one of the most savage
affairs ever brought under the notice of the magis-
trates of this court, in the district of which very
sanguinary outrages have been committed. All the
parties had been grievously bruised and wounded.
Their clothes were saturated with gore, their faces
covered with adhesive plaster, and their hands band-
aged. The female prisoner, as she stood in the dock,
with her hair dishevelled and clotted with blood, her
face bruised and swollen, and the top of her head
covered with a patch, presented a very hideous ap-
pearance.
Creese stated, that about a quarter past three that
morning he was passing along his beat in Marmaduke-
street, St. George-in-the-East, when he saw Dennis
Driscoll standing close to his door, and as he ap-
proached him he began to abuse the police, made use
of very bad language, and struck him a violent blow
on the side of the head. He directly turned round
and seized the prisoner by the neckerchief.
The prisoner laid hold of him by the col-
lar and dragged him into the passage, and
at the same time struck him on the mouth,
and caused it to bleed. A struggle took place, and
the woman came up, got between them, and, after
biting him and scratching his face, rescued her bro-
ther. He was then forced into the street and the door
was closed upon him. He waited in the street oppo-
site the house for half an hour, until Sergeant Ball
came up. After some delay a person in the second
floor of the house flung the key of the street-door into
the street, and admittance was obtained. They de-
manded an entrance into the prisoner's room, which
was refused, and after waiting about five minutes the
door of the apartment was forced in, and both prison-
ers immediately attacked him with great fury. Wit-
ness was very savagely beaten, and was now in great
pain from the injuries received.
William Walker, 445 K division, saw the woman
rescue her brother from the last witness, and tear the
constable's face. He went round his beat, and about
an hour afterwards, hearing there bad been a very
murderous attack made on Ball and Creese, went into
the room where it had occurred. Everything was in
confusion and broken. The place was covered with
blood and was like a slaughter-house.

Sergesnt Ball, who has received fearful injuries,
and was in a weak state from loss of blood, stated that
he found Creese bleeding profusely from the nose and
mouth. On obtaining admission into the house he
called the male prisoner by name and asked him to
open the door, which be refused to do, and swore with
.an oath he would kill any -- policeman who en-
tered his place, and be hung or transported for them.
He waited five minutes, and expostulations and intrea-
'ties being found _useless he broke open the door.
Dennis Driscoll immediately struck at him with a
heavy billet of wood (produced), the blow from which
he received on his arm and fingers, and was partially
disabled by it. He closed in upon the prisoner, who
managed, however, to strike another blow with
the billet of wood on the top of the head, and inflicted
a dreadful wound. His skull was laid open by the blow.
They struggled and fell, the man on the top of him, and
be seized witness by the stock and nearly strangled him.
By a desperate effort he threw the prisoner off him,
upon which Ellen Driscoll flung herselt upon bim, and
forced her fingers into his eye and attempted to gouge
it, and tore his flesh open with her nails. He got up
and was compelled to use his truncheon. The pri-
soners got him down again, and while he was down
he was kicked and trampled on, and the woman got
her fingers in his mouth, and made an attempt to
tear it open. He bit her fingers, and she desisted for
a time, and got her fingers into his mouth again, and
was dragging his lips asunder, when he bit her fingers
again and made her let go. A furious contest ensued,
and while the prisoners laid about them, one with
a poker and the other with a billet of wood,
he and his brother officer were obliged to use
their truncheons, and ultimately captured the pri-
soners.

Mr. INGrrAm—l see your mouth and face have
been dressed by a surgeon, and your head is bandaged.
Were these wounds inflicted by the prisoners ?
Ball—They were, Sir. My eye is very much
swollen and inflamed, and I have received many
wounds.

Mr.INGIIAM—What time was it when you went up ?
Ball—About four o'clock. There was no light in
the room. We were in the dark.
The prisoners in defence said, the police were the
aggressors. Dennis Driscoll urged that he was stand-
ing at his door and Creese interfered with him and
struck him, and that long after he had gone to bed
and fallen asleep the police broke open his door,
drsgged him out of his bed, and beat him with their
truncheons. 'When his sister interfered she was also
unmercifully beaten, although she was a little weak
creature. The woman confirmed her brother's state-
ment, and said the police broke a truncheon over her
head and used her brutally. The sergeant nearly bit
her fingers off.
Mr. INOLIAX said, he could not distinguish the case
of Ellen Driscoll from her brother's ; that both had
committed a most barbarous outrage. He never heard
of anything so savage in his life. He sentenced the
prisoners to be imprisoned for one month in the House
of Correction.

Water, water ! is the cry everywhere in the me-
tropolis just now; and a very important cry it is. It ought
to be reiterated, as we said long and long ago, as loudly as if
half London were on fire. Cleanliness (" next to Godliness,"
it has been said, but not thougnt ), health, public safety, mo-
rality, general progress, are all involved in it. Pure water,
and plenty of it, xnuA be had : the question yet to be solved
is, " Where from ?" Builder.

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.--A colliery acci-
dent, attended by fatal consequences, occurred on Wednesday
last, at the Bwlch Cons, is Allue, near Aberystwith. Two of
the workmen, Morgan Hughes and David Williams, were at
work in onl of the levels, when the bottom suddenly gave
Way, and the unfortunate men were precipitated to a depth
down a shaft of fifteen fathoms, a large quaßity of the earth-
work of the sides of the level falling in upon them. An
alarm was given, and the unhappy fellows were got out, but
they were both dead...titre/ord Timm
