ITALIAN VAGRANCY.--Yesterday FranciscoEnaa-
noe/s, an Italian boy, about eight years of age, with
a small cage of white mice, was brought to this
office in the custody of Goodyear, a constable of E
division, charged by him before Mr. Sergeant SEL..
LON with begging.
Goodyear, on Monday night last, as he was
passing through Russell-square, saw the prisoner
sitting on the step of a gentleman's door, completely
screwed up in a corner, with the cage of white mice
on his lap. He was cold and trembling, without
shoes or stockings, and scarcely a morsel of clothing
on his person, so that his wretched appearance,
coupled with his simplicity and youth, excited the
sympathy of passengers, to whom he touched his
cap as they passed, and they relieved him. Witness
questioned him, and he told him in broken English
that he had no friends and no home, on which he
rook him to the station-house.

An interpreter who usually attends at this offieg
when required, said that he had been the cause of
twenty-eight Italian boys like the prisoner having
been sent to their own country within the lasr
month. The Austrian Amba,sador had determined

n sending all Italian vagrant boys to their native

country.
Goodyear said it was scandalous to witness the
number of Italian boys who were wandering about
the west end of the town, and especially the squares.
They were brought from their own country by a set
of Italians, who sent them to beg, and would not
suffer them to return► to their homes unless they
brought with them a certain sum of money ; they
were half starved and ill-treated by their masters,
who lived in the neighbourhood of Laystall-street
and Little Gray's Inn-lane, Saffron-hill, and White-
chapel. They had numerous boys about the same
age as the prisoner, upon whom they entirely lived
in indolence and profligacy.
Mr Sergeant SELLON—WiII you promise to take
the prisoner to the Austrian Ambassador's if I dis-
charge him ? Interpreter—l will pledge myself to
do so, your 'Worship.
The prisoner was then discharged, and he quitted
the office with the interpreter.

THAMES-P 0 LICE.
Yesterday John Harrington, a tall powerful
young man ; Dennis Harrington, his brother, a lad;
and Michael Crawley, coalwhippers, were brought
before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. COMBE, charged
with committing a violent assault on two police
constables.

Mr. BALLANTINE convicted John Harrington, and
Michael Crawley, in the full penalty of .5/. each, and
in default of payment to two months' imprisonment;
and the boy, who had been led on by an older man,
he fined 405., and in default to a month's confine-
ment.

All the prisoners, being unable to pay the fines,
were sent to the House of Correction.

A QUALIFICATION.—A merchant lately
advertising for a clerk " who would bear confinement,"
reeeivi,d an answer from one who had been seven years
in gaol.

LElTH.—During the violent storm of yes-
terday week, a beautiful partridge took shelter about seven
o'clock, evening, in a grocer's shop in the Kirkgate. Mr.
Corstorphine gave it a kindly welcome, at the risk of
the game laws, and so tame did the poor bird become,
that in less than half an hour it was picking from the
hand with the greatest fondness. It is not yet regretting
its confinement, nor has it evinced the slightest symptoms
of desire for emancipation.

LORD W. BERESFORD AND THE O'CON-
NELL TRIBUTE. —On Sunday last it so happened that
Lord William, who is a subaltern in the 43d regiment,
now stationed in this city, had to march the Catholic
soldiers to Mass at the Great Chapel. The collectors were
standing at thedoor discharging their patrioticduties: Mr.
Robinson, a patriotic Protestant gentleman, as one of the
collectors, bavinz no idea who the officer was, and sup-
posing him of course a Catholic, acquainted him that they
were collecting the national tribute to O'Connell. His
Lordship hesitated a moment, advanced a few steps into
the chapel, and emphatically vociferated—." I'd see him
damned first." lie the❑ went up to the gallery and
remained there till mass was over to march bade the
soldiers.—Waterford Chronicle.

" We proud English reprobate the Spaniards
and Italians with shutting up young women in convents ;
but it appears that in England there is a state of political
economy which leads to far more unnatural suffering of
this kind than was ever inflicted by priestcraft. The
allusions to this subject in the new work entitled • Eng.
land and America' are bold without being indelicate, and
are fit to excite deep emotions even in the least generous
natures."— Courier.

THE FACTORY ACT.—AIr. Rickards is now
in Manchester. His visit is to advise the mid owners and
others of the measures necessary for the execution of the
Act. In Manchester from 20 to 30,000 children are eat.
ployed in factories. Supposing the lowest of these num-
bers should come under the protection of the Act, and
allowing 500 children for each school, forty schools will
be required. But no provision has been made for sup.
porting these estdalishments before the weekly deductions
of one penny in the shilling from the wages of those chil-
dren whose parents or guardians do not provide schools for
them. Each factory and school will be visited twice a
week ; the number of superintendents to be employed will
lie considerable, and to be appointed by the Secretary of
State.-111ancheseer Herald.
