Applicant—Yes, sir ; for there I can get work.
Mr. Bingham—Well, I will seed you home to-morrow
morning by a Parliamentary trail'. Let the applicant
have some assistance from the poox-box to get himself
food and lodging until the morning, when Mr. Welch,
the gaoler, can see him off by an early train.

The poor applicant, with tears of gratitude in Lis eyes,
hanked the worthy magistrate and retircti.

THAME.

ROBBING A SAILOR,—Jus. Fagan, an elderly reariner,
was charged with stealing a pair of drawers, a pair of
trousers, and a pair of braces, the property of Edward

Corner.

The prosecutor and the prisoner were both lodging in
Collins' boarding-house for seamen, 2, Rateliff-street,
Ratcliff-highway. Last night the prosecutor missed the
clothes above named from his chest. Suspicion fell upon
the prisoner, who was actually wearing all the stolen
articles under his own clothes.

The prisoner insisted that the property taken from him
was his own, and that he bought all the articles of a
Jew in Ratelff-highway, on Monday.
The prosecutor said he bought the trousers produced
in Calcutta, and brought them to England, and the
drawers and braces were purchased by him on Satur-
day last.
The prisoner—They are all mine.

Mr. Collins, the prisoner's landlord, said that Mrs.
Collins lengthened the braces for the man Corner on
Monday, and he could swear to them.
Mr. Selfe asked the prisoner why he wore two suits
of clothing yesterday,
The prisoner—To keep me warm. (A. laugh.)
Mr. Selfe—This is curious weather to wear extra
clothing. Have you a ship ?

The prisoner—Yes, sir. My ship goes away this
afternoon's tide.

Mr. Selfe—l fine you 155., and you had better pay it
directly, or you will not be able to go away with your
ship.

SOUTHWARK.

ROBBERY OF A VALUABLE GOLD WATCH AND CHAIN,

—Two well-known females, named Collins and Cooper,
were brought up for further examination, charged with
stealing a valuable gold watch, chain, and locket, the
property of Mr. J. Friedlander, a Prussian merchant,
residing at No. 38, Finsbury-square.

Mr. Louis Buenfield attended as interpreter, the pro
secutor not being acquainted with the English lan

guage.

It appeared from the evidence that on Tuesday even-
ing the prosecutor met Cooper near the railway station,
London•bridge, and after treating her to some spirits in a
public-house, close by St. George's Church, he accom-
panied her to Collins's house, in Reed's-row, a very
low locality, at • the rear of the Police-court, and
then he sent the latter out for some spirits.
While she was gone he partially undressed himself,
placing his watch and appendages on the table, and his
trowsers on a chair. Collins then returned with the
spirits, and as soon as she entered the room Cooper
snatched up the watch and ran off with it. He at-
tempted to get hold of her and stop her, but Collins
kept him back. Prosecutor immediately dressed him-
self, and went for a constable, who returned with him,
and took the prisoners into custody, but his watch was
not found. Prosecutor added that he had fift7 sove-
reigns in his trowsers pocket, which he was fortunate
enough to secure.

The prisoners at first protested their innocence, and
the magistrate decided on committing them for trial,
but after being locked up two days in gaol they altered
their minds, and when brought before the magistrate to•
day they pleaded guilty, leaving to the magistrate the
power of dealing with them.

They were accordingly cournit`ed for three months
each with hard labour.

SHOP LIFTING.—Mary All7l Moore was charged with
stealing a piece of printed cotton from the shop of Mr.
Powell, linen draper, 67, Lower Marsh, Lambeth.
The prosecutor said he saw the prisoner enter his
shop about nine o'clock on the previous eve:ing, and
snatch up a piece of printed cotton, worth eleven shil-
lings, which she ran out with. He pursued htr and
caught her near the Victoria theatre, where he gave her
into custody.

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and it being her first ap•
pearance at this court for felony, Mr. Seeker committed
her for three months?, under the Criminal Justice Act.

THE NEW PARLIAMENT OF NEW

BOUT II IF A LBS.

About 90 gentlemen will meet together on the 23d of
May, in the novel corporate capacity of the first Parlia-
ment of New South Wales. They have been chosen out
of the rest of the community, partly by popular suffrage,
partly by Royal nomination. The special purpose of
their union is to make laws. The guiding principle
which they are to follow in making these laws—the
polar star which they aro always to keep in view—is
" the good of the country." Turn to the reports of
the speeches of candidates, and in all of them, under
different guise and in varying phrase, this same senti-
ment will be avowed. They have. sought legislative
position, not from vanity or ainb.tion, not from inte-
rested mot-yes—certainly net from is desire to do inie.
chief—but with the avowed object of rendering the
State some service. The nominated eeeators, tto
they may not have publicly avowed the same purity
and singleness of purpose, have virtually brought thear-
selves under the same obligation. Legislative influence
was offered to them on the implied condition that it
was to be used as a sacred public trust, and their ac-
ceptance of it was a virtual recognition of the agree-
ment. Each cne of the 90, before giving his vote or voice
for or against any particular measure, will consider, there-
fore, how it stands related to the public good, and will
throw the weight of his influence on the one side or the
other accordingly ; not to secure personal advantage,
not to put or keep his friends in power, not to obtain
distinction, not to curry favcur with the great, not to
win a passing popularity with the mob, not to keep
well with his constituency, not from spite, not even wits
indifference—no, but because in his borest judgment he
believes it to be best for the country. Such are the
principles on which they are all going to legislate—at
least such is the theory, and far be it from us to assert
that it will not he realised in practice. What may net
90 such men achieve, all possessing honesty and identity
of purpose, and combining in the aggregate all the re-
quisites of cleardleadedness, good souse, acquaintance
with philosophy, and knowledge et affairs ? What
question is there likely to turn up that they could not
satisfactorily deal with ? What is to prevent such ex-
pectations from being realised ? - The capabilities of the
men being known, and their guiding principle being
clearly avowed, what is there to stand in the way of the
obvious results ? There is one danger visible in the
horizon, all the more fatal ireauee by many it is more
likely to be courted than shunned, and that is the
danger of party spirit. Have our new Parliamentary
legislators, who are coming to their work with clean
bands and unsophisticated purpose, considered whither
the machine of responsible Government which they
are going to work will lead them ? Have they at all
calculated on the allowance that must be male for the
power of that party spit it which will be its certain ad-
junct—for the deflections which this new force will
create in the line of their original purpose? Have they
settled with themselves how much is to he justifiably
conceded in this direction, and determined what arc the
limits at which they will stop ; or are they leaving this
delicate question of poltical morality to be settled here•
alter as occasion may require, and when a severe calm-
ness of judgment may be biassed by the heat of debate or
the urgent solicitations of friends ? A strong, even a
bitter party spirit, has accompae'ed the development of
responsible Government in the mother country. The
same phenomenon may reappear in ,New South Wales,
probably will.—Syclecy Morniiiy lie aid.

By the Royal Charter, on Wednesday, the al null re-
port was received of the Burra Burra Mines of South
Australia, submitted at a meeting on the 16th April.
These mines have now been 11 Sears in work, and
toe yield of ore for the past six
.months had linen
greater than in any similar period since 1352, the
amount being, 5,450 tons, estimated to contain 27 per
cent. of cooper. The estimated surplus profit to accrue
Was 85,6541., bting the largest sum ever held by the
association for division among the shareholders. It
was therefore contemplated to declare further dividenes
in June and September. The variaus operations at the
mines were proceeding eati4actorily, and the number
of persons was 688.
