cross—Waterloo or the Suspension. While so engaged,
the policeman came up and ordered them to quit the
spot, at the same time saying, as long as he wag on the
beat be would not allow girls of their description to stand
about the streets. Her sister feeling indignant at such an
I .
2 imputation, remonstrated with him, and she (the wit.
ness) told her to take his number. He then took
hold of Mrs. Simmons and convoyed her to the
station-house. The husband of Mrs. Simmonds was
a higly respectable man-
Mr. Hall ordered the policeman to be recalled, and,
he having made his appearance in the witness-box, the
1 magistrate addressing him said—You have heard what
has been stated, what answer have you to make to it ?
The policeman said his evidence was true.
Mr. Hall—Do you know this young person ?
Policeman—No.
Mr. Hall—Then you have done wrong in bringing her
here. The act of Parliament states, that persons liable
to be taken into custody for the offence with which you
have charged her with must be known to be habitual
night walkers or prostitutes, and you have no right to
bring such a charge as this, neither have you a right to
say to any one that they shall not stop on your beat,
without you know them to be bad characters. lam
always ready to uphold the police in the proper discharge
of their duty ; bat as long as I have a seat on the bench,
I will not permit any tyranny to be exercised by them.
It is very easy to make such a charge as this against
any female ; but it is a most difficult one to remove.
You must be more careful for the future. I clearly see
how this case has arisen. When you were threatened
with baying your number taken you lost your temper,
How long have you been in the force ?

Policeman—Not long, your worship.
Mr. Hall then again cautioned the policeman, and
ordered the young woman to be discharged.
The husband, a very respectable man, was about to
address the magistrate, but Mr. Hall told him whatever
application he had to make, he would hear after the
business of the morning had been disposed of.
We understand that the husband intends to lay the
whole facts of the case before the Commissioners of
Police.

Iservices the young Englishman joined the force
of the Vendeans in several encounters with their
foes. Fanny Fleetwood had many narrow escapes
in France, then in a state of great tumult, and her
position was rendered still more distressing front
her being the prey of many machinations, devised
from various motives, principally revenge on
Claude, to whom she was engaged, and who, from
his 'peculiar circumstances, possessed many ene-
mies. The numerous attempts which the hero
made to recover the important documents, which
were necessary to reinstate him in his patrimonial
estates, are vividly sketched, and render the narra-
tive in many parts exciting. On the whole, many
may spend a pleasant hour in the perusal of this
book if they desire life and spirit in the detail and
description of scenes and events. There are to be
met with likewise some sea stories, which add to
the variety and vigour of the style; and there is an
animated account of some naval encounters, where
Claude captured a French vessel near Calcutta, as
well as the dangerous epoch when he was unsuc-
cessful and taken prisoner to France.

The Austrian Dungeons zn, Italy. By Felice Or-
sini. Translated by I. Merriton White.
A deeply interesting narrative of the author's
fifteen months' imprisonment in, and final escape
from, Abe fortress of St. Giorgio, in Mantua. An
ardent patriot, busied from his youth upward in
schemes for the liberation of Italy, Signor Orsini,
after being frequently imprisoned, was pounced
upon by the Austrian authorities in Hermanstadt,
in December, 1854, while travelling on a political
mission. From liermanstadt he was forwarded to
Tienna, and from thence to the fortress from which
he contrived to make his escape, for examination
and punishment. The reader has presented before
him pictures of prison life as experienced by politi-
cal offenders under Austrian sway, and is shown
by what vile and cruel arts Austria succeeds inper-
petuating her accursed yoke in Italy—notwith-
standing the dislike and positive hatred of the
great majority of the people. The story of the
author's escape possesses a thrilling interest, which
must insure its general perusal. A deeper sense
of satisfaction will, however, be found in the hopes
the narrative both directly and indirectly holds
out of Italian independence at no distant day, if
the wishes, and energies, and valour of the people
may avail against the myriad armed cut-throats
that hold her in bondage, while others maintain a
perpetual observation of her movements.
