BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Alfred Dean, the ill-looking youth who was last week
charged with committing an unnatural offence upon a boy of
weak intellect, aged 14, one of the paupers of St. Paul's,
Covent-garden, was to-day brought up for re-examination,
and fully committed.
Very little additional evidence was given, but the pri-
soner made a statement. which of itself is likely to go far
to convict him. When taken, upon the officer saying " You
are my prisoner," he said, " Do you think they will hang me ?
I wish I had not done it. I know lam guilty ; but don't you
think I may get off as the boy is foolish ?" To-day he said
Smith asked him often to commit the offence, but he never
would be so great a blackguard ; and that on the morn-
ning in question Smith bolted the door, and they were
stripped, because he wanted to wash himself previous to going
out of the workhouse. Once he interrupted a witness, and
said the testimony was false, for there was no one but Smith
and him in the ward at the time, then how could any one else
know any thing about it? He charged Mr. Corder, the vestry-
clerk, with having an intention of getting him transported for
seven years, but he was quite willing to go whenever they
liked without giving them any further trouble.
The witnesses were all bound over to give evidence at the
Sessions.

William Jale, one of the crew of the Sylph steamer, plying
between Woolwich and Hungerford-stairs, was charged with
an assault upon Old Heath, who rejoices in the title of the
River Attorney-General.
Complainant, in a most loquacious manner, stated that he
came up fr, m Woolwich in the above-named vessel. The
mate came round and demanded Is., for which he gave him,
without being asked, a piece of paper which they called a
ct k. When they arrived at the stairs, Mr. Heath, not wishing
to incommode any one, was al‘ost the last to get out. When he
attempted to leave the vessel,defendant put his hand on his breast
and demanded his check. Witness having another purpose
for it to answer, refused to give it up, and there he was de-
tained a prisoner full five minutes. He said he kept the bit of
paper upon the same principle as he would do, if his Worship
were to put a 201. note into his hand. Surely in such a case
it would be optional for him either to keep it or not. He
wanted the check to prove in another proceeding that the cap-
tain of the vessel plied for hire and reward, against the terms
of the act of' parliament in such case made and provided.
Mr. MINSHULL did not consider that Mr. Heath had any
right to retain the check, for upon its face the words " to be
returned on leaving the vessel" were plainly printed ; he did
not think either that an assault had been proved, and dismissed
the case.

Mr. Heath—Well your Worship, though I differ in opinion
with you, I must submit and try it in another way.

ARRIVAL OF MR. O'CONNELL IN WATER-
FORD.-On Thursday Mr. O'Connell arrived in Waterford, to
which city he was escorted from Dunmore by at least fifty
thousand people. On Friday evening he was entertained by
the citizens of Waterford at Cummins' Hotel, and on Satur-
day proceeded to Cork. In the course of his address to the
people of Waterford, on Thursday, Mr. O'Connell exposed
the conduct of Mr. Galway in Parliament, and stated of Mr.
Barron, that though not as bad as Galway, he was quite bad
enough to be put out at the next election.—Dublin Morning
Register of Monday.

ODILLON BARROT.—This popular orator was a
member of the secret society, called Carbonari. In the revo-
lution of July, he was the first to take the uniform of the Na-
tional Guard, and go to the Hotel de Veille, where he assisted
Lafayette in the quality of Secretary. Sent with Araga and
Lafitte to stop the effusion of blood during the troubles of June,
the King distinguished him, and when he said, " Your Ma-
jesty may have confidence in us, for we are influenced only by
our attachment to France and your Majesty; I am ready to
sign with my blood a declaration that I do not wish for any
place under your Government." Louis Philip, striking him
on the shoulder, said, " I will never accept such a declaration
M. Barrot."_L'Abeille de Londres. ,

SHOCKING DEATH.—A workman in one of the
lime-kilns in Whitemarsh township, Montgomery county, lost
his life a few days since, under the following circumstances, as
detailed in the German Town Telegraph :—While in the
act of measuring out lime, it seems that the arch gave way,
and completely buried him beneath the burning stones.
The weather was intensly hot, and the lime so much so
as to require thick leather gloves to handle it ' • still the
most untiring exertions were made by the friends of
the unfortunate sufferer to extricate him before life
was extinct, but their efforts were, however, wholly fruit-
less. The groans and calls for help of the wretched
man for ten or fifteen minutes were truly heart-rending, his
distressed associates being compelled to be witnesses to the
most excruciating agony, without the power to render effectual
aid. When they at length succeeded in extricating the body
from the kiln, it presented a shocking spectacle, the greater
part being dreadfully burnt, and the head and shoulders dis-
figured by many severe contusions, which of themselves would
have occasioned his death. The deceased was a young man
of good habits, and but recently from Philadelphia, where his
pare is re;:lde..—.Pliikdelphiez Paper.
