YORK AUGUST MEETING.

York, Wednesday Night.
Owing to the fineness of the weather and the attraction
of the Two-years old Stakes, the company to-day was much
larger than yesterday; the sport, also, turned out very
superior. The betting on the Thirty says. Stakes is still
very fiat, neither Julius, Fang, or Francesca having ar-
rived, nor is it yet known whether they will mike their
appearance.

THIS DAY'S RACES.
Sweepstakes of 20 sous. each. T. Y.C.
Mr. Watt's Belshazzar, br. to Belzoni 1
Mr. S.Fox's Tesane, by Whisker
Mr, Powlett's br. f. by Lottery—Miss Fanny 3

The following horses also started but were not placed;—.
Colonel Cradock's br. c. Partner, 2 yrs.
Duke of Leeds's f. by Lottery, 2 yrs.
Mr. W. Crompton's Satan, 2 yrs.
Mr. Jaques's ch. f. by Swiss—Comedy.
_ .

Betting, 6 to 4 agst Belshazzar and 2 to 1 agst Tesane.
Atter two false starts they went away well together, Te-
sane, Miss Fanny, Partner, Mary, and Belshazzar forming
the front rank till near the stand, where Partner and
Mary died away, and Tesane appeared to be winning ; Bel-
shazzar, however, was still in reserve, came up, challenged,
and won by about half a neck—ridden by Nicholson,
Tesane by Johnson, and Miss Fanny by Nelson.
One third of the Great Subscription of 25 soya each, and
50 added ; for tour-years old, Sat. 71b. ; fillies Set. 41b.
Two Miles. Twelve Subs.
Mr. Walker's b. c. Consol, by Lottery 1
Mr. Houldsworth's b. c. Contest, by Catton 2

sto 2 and 3tol on Consol. The horses took it very
easy for about 200 yards, after which Consol broke from
a walk into a moderate pace, which gradually increased
to good running ; at the distance Contest went up, and a
very pretty set-to followed, Consol winning by only half
a Lead—jockeyed by Scott, the loser by Darling. On the
judge calling out the result of the race, the crowd under-
neath the chair (owing no doubt to the resemblance of the
names) mistook Contest for Consul, and much confusion
ensued on the judge repeating that it was the latter who
had won. Lord Kilburn and Mr. C. Wilson inquired
into the matter and confil med the decision, which, in fact,
we can vouch for being perfectly correct, despite the noise
and brawling of those who were interested in upsetting it.
The Corporation Plate of 50/. 3 yrs., 7st. 71b.; and 4 yrs.,
Bst. 81b. ; fillies allowed 31b., and maiden colts '2lb.
The winner to be sold for 200 guineas, &c. Heats a
mile and three quarters.

Mr. Wilkins's Ballochle

The King's Plate on Tuesday was decided just as the coach
went past the course, and we were unable to give any parti-
culars of the running and betting. We now subjointhem.
6 and 7 to 4 on Rodolph, and 3 to 1 against the win-
ner. Catillus and Romulus made the running at a fair
pace to the too-mile turn, where Scott brought up Ro-
dolph, took the precedence, and went on at a merry tune
till near the distance, closely followed by Philip and Stot-
forth ; between these three a struggle ensued, Philip's dis-
comfiture being completed at the stand ; the other two
fought it out resolutely to the end, Stotforth by dint of
whip and spur winning by half a neck only. The rest
were beaten a long way, especially Catillus, who pulled up
at the wood, nearly a mile from home.

YORK, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

We extract a paragraph from an evening pa-
per, in which it is stated that a camp is forming
at 'Windsor, and that troops are assembling
from different quarters, to devour the provisions
there collected, or to engage in the exercises
there to be performed. The citizens of Lon-
don and of the neighbourhood, therefore, who
may be desirous to witness the image of war in
the midst of peace, or to be amused with the dis-
play of bravery by our gallant countrymen in the
absence of an enemy, will be able to gratify their
taste or to indulge their curiosity at a small ex-
pense. No deeper feeling, we are persuaded, will
be engaged. In England, where from the ad-
vantages of our insular position, and the strength
of our powerful navy, we have long been relieved
from any apprehensions of an external attack, we
have generally regarded the disposition or distri-
bution of our domestic army as a matter of su-
preme indifference. We hear, indeed, of its
movements, when a rebellion is threatened in
Ireland, or of the display of its admirable disci-
pline in Hyde Park, when some foreign Prince
arrives who may be gratified with a military re-
view ;—but the public in general take as little
interest in such matters as in a new melodrame
at one of our minor theatres. We have had our
militia, our velunteers, and our yeomanry cavalry
in the country—we have had our garrison bat-
talions, our guards, and our artillery forces, in
and round the capital or about court for half a
century, but we never conceived ourselves on
that account a military nation at home; we never
thought that our army was to be separated
from the people ; and we never raised
our grovelling ideas to the splendour of
a camp at Windsor ! Of camps in England we
have often heard, but they were Roman or
other foreign camps,—they were monuments of
ancient tyranny or violence,—they were rather
subjects for the antiquarian than for the existing
Commander-in-Chief at the Horse-Guards. Of
camps abroad we have known more. The
Bourbons, in the last year of their reign, had
camps at St. Omer, and in several of the other
military divisions of France. The ordinances
of Charles X. were proclaimed and resisted—

marched towards Paris on the 28th and 29th of
July, under the white flag, returned to their
camp on the Ist and 2d of August, under the
tri-colour. We mention these facts with no de-
sign or desire that they should be applied to the
state of our happy country, or to the conduct of
our beloved King. We are, indeed, quite
convinced, that though the report of the en-
campment may be true, his Majesty and
his constitutional advisers have had nothing to
do with this absurd military demonstration.
Any influence that it could produce on the public
mind,—if seriously intended to overawe opi-
nion,—would be, of course, perfectly con-
temptible. The amount of our domestic troops
would not be sufficient to guard the old Homan
encampments to which we have alluded, though.
the country were again covered with forests, as
in the time of Caesar ; and though the number
of our people were reduced to their ancient di-
mensions, before Birmingham had its iron trade
or Political Union,
and before the villa,e of

Manchester had learnt to maintain its hundred
thousand inhabitants by manufacturing the cotton
brought frpp t,be ugkepro,wpstefo.world. We
take, therefore, the %Vole project of camp at
Windsor, to be either a fiction of some disloyal
anti-Reformer, or the plan of some Tory par-
tisan, to throw odium on a Reforming King,
and suspicion on an orderly and peaceful nation.
—Times.

The people of Ireland were informed last night,
by the Lord Chancellor, of a material distinction
between the natives of the two islands. The
Irish Habeas Corpus Act is of comparatively
recent origin, having been passed towards the
close of the American war, and contains no
clause against the imprisonment beyond the
seas of any
.2f his Majesty's subjects. But
there is another still more material distinction
—the Irish Habeas Corpus Act can be sus-
pended without the instrumentality of Parlia-
ment. The cases in which it may be suspended
by the Lord-Lieutenant, are invasion by a foreign
enemy, and domestic rebellion, and whatever is
deemed rebellion by the Executive Government
for the time, is in law to be considered rebel-
lion. These, of course, are most extensive
powers. Tell me your man, says a Scotch pro-
verb, and I'll tell you the law. The liberty of
every man in Ireland depends on the fiat of the
Executive. It becomes,. then, of consequence
t:-) know what the Executive Government—the
sole Judge—shall deem to be rebellion. And
here the Lord Chancellor made a very significant
revelation :
" As a lawy, r (he said), and as a Member of that
House, he did not hesitate to say that rebellion as much
consisted in such acts, or such a course of conduct as,
by bringing together in any part of the empire great as-
semblages of people, and producing such excitement as
to place the laws in a state of abeyance—in a word, to
annihilate their operation—accompanying such conduct
by acts of outrage conformable to the design of compassing
those objects,—that, he would say, was as much rebellion
as any other act or any course of conduct."
His Lordship added—
" Surely the state of things to which he alluded was in
all reason and common sense rebellion, as truly as the
insurrection of a whole province, or the bringing out
bodies of armed and disciplined men to oppose by force the
constituted authorities of the land. Those acts were, of
course, admitted to be acts of rebellion, by ti e universal
consent of the least informed of mankind ; but there was
no one familiar with public affairs who would not readily
acknowledge that the other proceedings to which he ad-
verted were likewise acts of rebellion. In _such an event
he had no doubt that the Government, proceeding upon
its own responsibility, would manfully exert the authority
which it possessed, at the same time that he could not
view otherwise than with the utmost repugnance and
abhorrence the necessity for even exercising its judgment
on such a question."
The above declarations will unquestionably
produce a great sensation in Ireland. But really
we. do not see that the powers in question can
add much to the powers of the Government.
They will at most affkird a handle for declama-
tion. Earl Grey, in answering the Marquis of
' Westmeath, asked, " Would the Noble Mar-
quis propose the re-enactment of the Insurrec-
tion Act ? If' the Noble Marquis wished to
apply that remedy, then he said that this would
be no remedy at all for the existing evils of Ire-
land. The true remedy existed in the vigorous
execution of the existing laws." Now, unfor-
tunately, the Irish consider their grievances to
arise out of the law, so that they are not likely
to consider the execution of the existing laws
the true remedy for the existing evils of Ireland.
But more—the Irish, like all other nations,
who have long been the victims of bad laws,
have taken up the notion, that the evils im-
posed on them by law would never be
remedied if the law could be executed,
and they, therefore, conceive they have an in-
terest in the law not being executed. They say,
if we bad only been willing to pay tithes, we
should never have heard anything of the possi-
bility of improvement in the distribution of
tithes ; and being suspicious of their masters,
they conceive, that if the law could be carried
into execution, the faith or the possibility of an
improvement in the distribution of tithes pro-
fessed by those masters would soon cease. They
are no doubt wrong in entertaining such suspi-
cions ; but the fact is certain that they entertain
them. An improved distribution of tithes would
contribute greatly to the execution of the law.
So long as the Law-Church exists in splendour,
so long will the people oppose themselves to the
execution of the law. What is going on in
Ireland affords only another to the many previ-
ous proofs, that remedial measures, which at one
time would be efficacious, if delayed too long,
cannot be applied with advantage. The Church
of Ireland has allowed the time to pass when it
might have obtained favourable terms from its
opponents.—Morning Chronicle.
Ministers by connecting the suffrage with the
payment of rates and taxes before a day certain,
have hung a millstone round their own necks.
Colonel Evans, in moving an Address to his
Majesty to prorogue the present, and convene
another short Parliament, to take into conside-
ration the unexpected disfranchisement produced
by certain restrictive clauses of the Act, stated
44 that these clauses would operate very power-
fully for bribery ; that there were two places,
in one of which 1,1001., and in the other 9001.
had been advanced to pay the rates ; that the
number of persons everywhere disfranchished
would be very great ; that, for example, not
above 750 persons in Manchester had paid their
rates ; in Ashton, 74; Bury, 42; Oldham, 42;
Bolton, 84 ; Blackburn, 78 ; Rochdale, 66 ;
Salt-Ord, 40 ; Warrington, 38." We quite agree
witb the Colonel in thinking there is something
in this result, of a very alarming nature, and that
it is enough to endanger the
.Administration.
The people, who feel these very difficulties
caused by excessive taxation a bar to their ex-
ercising the franchise LT which they might re-
medy the evil, will naturally enough be savagely
disposed towards Ministers. Men in the rank
of Ministers know little of the difficulties with
which the people who struggle to keep up ap-
pearances have to contend. It is athousand pities
they did not, instead of a qualification of this
invidious kind, take some broad and ob-
vious one, not calculated to embitter the people,
who find themselves tantalised by the promise of
a qualification of which they are unable to avail
themselves. Colonel Evans said, " lie had heard
the disappointment was so great that the people
were again talking of not paying the taxes, and
of running upon the Bank for gold." That
would be absurd. But the disfranchisement
must. make the present Ministers very unpopu-
lar, and perhaps destroy them. Mr. Htnne ob-
served that "if the population of the large towns
were disfranchised to the extent of three-fourths
or four-fifths, it would be a most serious evil,
and would produce nothing else but dissatisfac-
tion." Lord Althorp admitted that lie knew
nothing certain of the matter; but not believing in
the-n.tent,of,the disfranchisement; he could not
hefieve-thse..eitent of the dissatisfaction." This
is a matter of too_great importance to be left to
accident. WeTear Ministers will be found to
have eried.egregtously in their. estimate of the
- alacrity with. which rates and taxes are paid.
-'Lord Althpipssaiil, that " it should be remem-

bered that the period fixed by the Bill allowed
three months to be in arrears." To his Lordship
three:months may appear a long arrear, but this
only proves how little his Lordship knows of
what passes among the people. The brokers
could have told him something on this subject.
—Morning Chronicle.
The wretched product of Ministerial inca-
pacity, the Reform Bill, again excites some
degree of public attention. As we said long
since, it satisfies no party, but is contemplated
with general disgust. The Radicals are now
quarreling with poor Lord Althorp for not
consenting to repeal the only clause which offers
the slightest security against an overwhelming
pauper constituency, and that too before the
measure has come into practical operation.
Those who cannot or will not pay the taxes due
in- April by the 20th July, and give one shilling
each for the registration of their illustrious names,
are not permitted by the Bill to exercise the
privilege of voting ; they are assumed either not
to be able to pay their taxes, or not to feel suf-
ficient interest in the subject to give it the re-
quisite degree of attention. The first class are
excluded by their pauperism, and the second by
what the Attorney-General describesas a species of
treason against the community. But most un-
fortunately these two classes are found to include,
according to the Radical Journals themselves,
about two• thirds of the new metropolitan con-
stituencies. The reformers now ask for the re-
peal of the obnoxious clause, and it therefore
appears from their own showing that their object
is to place a preponderating influence in these
elections within the reach ofa class of men who
are publicly stigmatized as paupers or traitors.
The Reform Bill, bad as it is, does not go quite
so far as this, and hence it is already an object
of contempt and loathing to its recent supporters.
Lord Althorp brought forward a motion to
modify this clause, but hastily withdrew it at
the first. notice of opposition. The motion
was made to keep things a little smooth with the
Radicals ; it was withdrawn as a matter of course.
Ministers could not dream of altering this
clause without the grossest conceivable breach
of faith. The clause belongs to the very es-
sence and vitality of the Bill, as much so as the
political extinction of Gatton and Old Sarum.
Touch the pecuniary limitation to the right of
voting, and the Anti-Reformers would have a
right to insist upon the restoration of schedule
Ain all its integrity. It was insisted upon from
first to last by the Whigs, and their organ, the
Times, that the Bill was a Conservative Bill ; the
close boroughs were to be given up ; but, on
the other hand, crowds of scot and lot voters
were to be disfranchised, and none were, on any
pretext, to be permitted to vote but those re-
spectable and steady householders who occupied
a ten-pound house, had paid their taxes, and
would pay a shilling for registry. These were
to be the tests of the new constituency, and the
Times actually proclaimed it as a peculiar feature
of the Bill, that under its provisions, « every
voter would be a man of property !" The clause
was no mistake, its tendency was accurately
calculated, and a perfect understanding existed
among all parties, that so far as these poor
tests went, the new Legislators should
be respectable. To attempt to alter the arrange-
ment now, without restoring schedule A, or
giving the aristocracy some other equivalent,
would be a gross fraud upon the whole country;
and particularly upon those who called out so
loudly and so wisely for " the Bill, the whole
Bill, and nothing but the Bill." *Lord Althorp
felt this as a man of honour, and instantly with-
drew the proposition when its real nature was
pointed out. Why he introduced it at all is a
question which his Lordship may settle at his
leisure with his late radical friends. Let it not,
however, be supposed that, because this clause
limits the pauper constituency, the Bill is on the
whole more acceptable than it was to the great
Conservative party. Their objections went deeply
into the essence of the measure. They objected
to the wantonness of needless change, to the
destruction of corporate rights over the bul-
warks of practical liberty, to the neglect of the
great principle of prescription on which half
the British Constitution rests, to the unfair
preference given to Whig interests, to the total
want of science and judgment evinced in the
distribution of the franchise, to the excitement
of absurd and necessarily abortive expectations,
and to the tendency of the whole measure to
bring about alternate intimidation and corrup-
tion in their worst forms among large bodies of
electors. These objections are not answered by
the circumstance of multitudes of the less re-
spectable classes not having availed themselves
of the opportunity presented of making them-
selves electors. On the other hand, let no one
imagine that the party who are now styled Con-
servatives are necessarily opposed to the exten-
sion of the elective franchise. They only wish
the great interests of the State, those interests
by which alone the mass of the population can
be sustained in comfort and prosperity, to be
fully and impartially represented, that the
powers of the Government may not be
vested in the hands of any faction. That
object they considered to be accomplished,
at least to a considerable extent, under the
recent system, to which the various interests of
the community had gradually accommodated
themselves, and they were reluctant rashly to
change that system till there was reason to be-
lieve that the proposed substitute would better
accomplish the object. Many of them strongly
supported the principle of temperate and impar-
tial Reform, while they opposed the Ministerial
Bill as deficient in all the requisites of a useful
national measure. They were defeated for a mo-
ment, but the subsequent experience of every
hour proves the soundness of their views, and
they have now a right to hope that the returning
good sense oldie people of England will do them
that justice which was confessedly denied to them
during the madness of popular excitement. The
Reform Bill, being now law, they would not
probably seek its repeal, but, mindful of the
hazards of further and indefinite change, would
be content with such modifications as reasonable
Men of all parties perceive necessary to the
formation of an extended and respectable con-.
stituency, and an efficient representative body.
We are far from despairing of the speedy
formation of an Administration at once liberal
and conservative, which should unite the suf-
frages of moderate men throughout the com-
munity. We are convinced that if the sense of

the people were fairly taken, Conservative prin-
ciples would now achieve a splendid triumph.
We are not aware that the Statesmen who are
obviously most competent to govern the country
are now opposed on important questions to any
large section of the people. We beg to submit
to the holiest portion even of the Radicals and
Unionists whether we have not had changes
enough in all conscience of late, and whether we
should not do well to betake ourselves at once
to a policy which would protect the permanent
interests of the country, instead of one which

only scatters them to the winds. We take it as
a settled thing that the present blustering Cabi-
net cannot possibly go one much longer ; and
we ask the intelligent friends of order and free-
dom, without whose cordial support no Admi-
nistration can long exist, or ought to exist at all,
whether it is not high time to rescue the fore-
most empire in the world from the calamities
with which it has been visited, and under which
it still suffers, in consequence of eighteen months
of democratic misrule ?—Morning Post.
If Lord Grey intends, as we hope he does,
to continue at the head of his Majesty's Coun-
cils, and carry into effect the glorious measure of
which he has been the author, we would frankly
tell him that, previous to another Parliamentary
campaign, he must recruit his forces, and, above
all, remodel his staff'. We would not, nor would
circumstances justify our appealing to the thread-
bare corps we allude to being such as no com-
mander would march through Coventry at the
head of, but oil the contrary, we would rather
have our own joke, and say that some of them
might be sent to Coventry, and would never be
missed. It has been generally the misfortve of
the Whigs, when in office, to show a marked
deficiency in business-like qualities, and those
of the present day do not seem to be one jot
behind their predecessors, either in this respect,
or in a remarkable thirst for office, whether fit or
unfit for its duties. The attainment of this was
unfortunately mischievous, yet attainable enough,
while a faction of boroughmongers could send
their nominees to maintain it ; but with the
passing of schedule A the ability to do this,
either by Whig or Tory influence, is extin-
guished, and one of the first fruits of the Reform
Act will, we confidently hope, be to drive in com-
petent men from office, and put competent ones
in their place. If we have any leaning upon
this subject, it is, as we have frequently declared,
that the fruits of the great measure of Reform
should proceed from, and be gathered by, those
who have themselves planted and watered the
tree ; and though we are convinced that it is ut-
terly out of the power of any set of men, how-
ever inimical to then), to defeat its objects, yet
we know too well what enmity, and even hollow
friendship, can do in the way of thwarting ob-
jects, not to wish most heartily that Reformers,
and not Anti-Reformers, may be at the head of
affairs till the very name of the latter has ceased
to be remembered. But Reformers, to be so
indeed, must not only be sincere in their inten-
tions, but firm of purpose, and competent to
that which they undertake. How far too many
Members of Lord Grey's Administration have
shown themselves otherwise it would be equally
painful and invidious to enumerate. The coun-
try owes them (we had nearly said one and all) a
debt of gratitude for the past, which must make
it anxious not to throw avoidable doubts
upon the future. At the same time convic-
tion and experience speak a language which
goes home to the mind of every man ; and we
wish it were, on the subject, and towards the
persons of whom we are speaking, any thing
but what it is. Put there are, we fear, those
upon whom incompetency has put its mark in
characters too legible to be misunderstood.
Some men live and learn ; but the persons we
allude to appear to live and unlearn—at least,
according to Scripture phraseology, their last
sets are worse than their first. Of this incom-
petency the Premier himself has exhibited no
proofs. On the contrary, he has shown a
firmness, accompanied by a temper, tact, and
generalship, which could alone have ensured
the victory which he has won. He is now avow-
edly among the first of the Political Generals
of the age, and, as such, is entitled, and in-
deed called upon, to weed his ranks of those

_
who are unworthy of, or unfit for, their stations ;
and to replace them by those who are competent
to sustain the honour he has acquired. This,
and this alone, can sustain him in a station

which all honest men wish to see him fill, and
which his own merit, in the highest degree, en-
titles him to.—Morning Herald.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday being the day appointed for the further exa-
mination of William John Little, alias Butler, of No.
40, Kensington-Nuare, and of No. 26, Little Albany_
street, Regent's Park, the office was crowded to excess
by tradesmen of every description, who had been duped in
some manner by the prisoner out of their property.
After the business of the office was over, the prisoner
was placed at the bar before Mr. GREGORIE, and no
sooner was he placed in the dock, than there was a gene-
ral buz of " That's him !" some asserting his name was
Little, and others Butler.
The evidence of Mr. Wyse, a hay-salesman in Cumber-
land market, which was taken at the first examination,
was read over, and his charge fully substantiated against
the prisoner.
Several tradesmen then stepped forward to prefer their
charges against the prisoner, for obtaining from them goods
to a considerable amount; but it appeared they had acted
very incautiously, and the charge amounted to nothing mote
than a debt.
Mr. GREGORIE said, that it was astonishing to him
they could have been so credulous as to have given him
credit.

An ironmonger stepped forward and said that the pri-
soner came to him and purchased a number of grates of
hitn,which were sent to his house. fie had determined not
to leave them without the money, but wben he went with
the goods, the prisoner was not at home. His wife, or
his woman, was there, and her manners were so insinua-
ting, that he left the goods without the znoney.—(Shouts
of laughter.) The prisoner afterwards ordered eight
more grates, but he fortunately did not execute the order,
as be found him out.
Mr. Serjeant, a butcher, at Pimlico, stepped forward,
and described a novel mode that the prisoner had of pass-
ing his small bills. It appeared, that about eighteen months
ago the prisoner lived in Kemp's-row, Pimlico. He dealt
with Serjeant for meat, and ran up a small bill. Finding
that he could get no money of him, he summoned him to
the Court of Requests, for 1/. 19s. ; but he had no sooner
served the prisoner with a summons, than he served the
butcher with a copy of a writ, for a fictitious debt, by his
attorney, which bad put him to a great expense. Mr. Whi-
ting, a baker, and Girlder, a milkman, at Pimlico, to whom
he was indebted, he served also with a copy of a writ,
and they were also at a great expense. They had all got
executions out against the prisoner, but had never been
able to find him out before they saw the account of his
first examination in the newspapers.
Other tradesmen began to detail how they bad been
`• done" out of their property, from which it appeared
that there was scarcely an article of property, from loads
of bricks and mortar to silk goods, but what he had traf-
ficked in, without paying for it.
Mr. GRTEGORIE (to the tradesmen)—All I can say is,
that you have all been duped, and I hope you will be more
cautious for the future.
A tradesman at Brentford now stepped forward to prefer
a more serious charge against the prisoner, and produced
a bib paid by the prisoner for goods, the acceptance of
which, he said, was forged.
Some discussion now took place, and the charge of for-
gery was adjourned until the witnesses could attend.
Another charge of forgery was also adjourned.
Mr. GREGORIE fully committed the prisoner for trial,
for fraudulently obtaining a load of hay and 10s. from Mr.
Wyse, after having sold the haystack to another person,
and the parties were bound over to prosecute,

kase I whident lend bet me bellows? which she borry'd
of me once afore, and kept a whole wake."
" Don't he after taking a false oath, Mrs. Maloney,"
vociferated Mrs. M'Carty. " I'm a poor lone woman,
plase your Wertchip, and I gets my living wid a wheel-
harry and a little bit o' frute. Divil a wod did I spake to
Mrs. Maloney till she locked me out of me own room,
which I pay 18d. a wake tint for."
" Sorrow a halfpenny of rint did I get of ye, Mrs.
M'Carty," said Mrs. Maloney, " barring an ould flannel
petticoat, that dropped to pieces wid the first wash."
" But," said Mr. CONANT to Mrs. M'Carty, " how
came you to break so many windows ?"—" I did it in my
own defince, plase yer Wertchip," said Mrs. M'Carty,
curtseying.
" Well, then," returned Mr. CONANT, " I must fine
you 125., or send you to prison for fifteen days "
" D'ye hear that, Misthress Maloney ?" said Mrs.
M'Carty, in a rage. " What will Ido with me five
fatherless children? Ocb, the cholera morbus 'll catch
you for that same."
Mr. CONANT directed the children to be taken care of
in the workhouse till the term of their mother's imprison-
ment had expired.

THAMES POLICE.

Yesterday, James Murray, a middle-aged Waterman,
well known to the Thames police, whose person and clothes
were covered with mud, was brought before Captain
RICHBELT., charged with breaking into the warehouses of
Messrs. W. H. Harton and Co., merchants and ship-
owners, of No. 3, Norway-place, Limehouse, and stealing
property to a large amount therefrom.
William James Pearce, a police constable, No. 177, K,
stated, that about three o'clock that morning he was on
duty by the side of the Limehouse.cut, a branch of the
river Lea, when the prisoner passed him at a very quick
pace, with a large bundle under one arm, and something
in his hand. He stopped him, and asked what the bundle
contained, and he replied, only some twine and some
biscuits which be bad brought from Gravesend. He
seized the bundle, and called another policeman, who was
a short distance off, when the prisoner threw a quantity of
biscuits into the canal, and leaped into the water. Wit.
ness and his brother officer instantly lost sight of him,
and concluding he was drowned, procured the drags, but
after dragging the canal for an hour, could not find him.
He remained about the spot until five o'clock, when wit-
ness observed the prisoner's head just visible above the
water, partially concealed behind some piles. His body
was wholly immersed in the stream, and had been so for
two hours. Witness no sooner caught sight of him than
he jumped into the river, swam across, and dragged him
out by the collar. The prisoner, on being brought ashore,
appeared half dead ; but he gave him some cordials, re-
stored him, and conveyed him to the station-house, where
their clothes were hung up and dried. The witness,
whose vigilance and courage were highly praised, produced
the bundle, containing skeins of new twine, which were
at once identified by Mr. Harton.
Roberts and Castleman, two other policemen, Nos. 53
and 236, K, observed the prisoner waiting about the
warehouses late on Wednesday night. On the banks of
the river, near the spot where the prisoner jumped in,
they found two bolts of new canvas, each containing 140
yards, placed against the wall. They were identified by
Mr. Harton as his property.
Aylott, the prosecutor's foreman, said he had some re-
collection of the prisoner, and believed he was formerly
employed in the warehouses.
Captain RICHBELL committed him to Newgate for trial.
TO TEN-HALL, SOUTHWARK.
Emma Lemon and Anne Hookey were placed at the
bar, before Mr. Alderman ANSLEY, charged with stealing
from the person of a countryman, named Edward Robin
son, 2501. and upwards, under the following circutn,

stances:—
The prosecutor on Saturday last arrived in London from
Glamorgan. in Wales, and upon his arrival, he called upon
several persons with whom he had dealings, and paid each
of them their accounts, and by this time it was dusk, and
wishing to see a relative whom he had not seen for many
years, and who resided in Walworth, as he was journeying
thither, on his road through the Borough, not knowing
the direct way to Walworth, he inquired of the prisoners
his best road. They said they would show him, and
for this civility he invited them to take some wine; to
pay for which he pulled out his purse containing gold,
silver, &c. After drinking their wine they all journeyed
on towards Walworth, and in a crowded part they bade
adieu, the prosecutor returning many thanks for their ci-
vility. But 10, on arriving at his relation's house he
found he had been robbed of all the property he had- He
had not spoken to any individual after he had left the
prisoners' company. He was perfectly sober at the time
he left the prisoners, and was quite so on arriving at his
relative's house,
This latter part was confirmed by his relative, who
added, that he had been to the Bank of England to stop
payment of the bills. There were two for 1001. each;
one was S 3, No. E 4,880, Aug. 3, 1832 ; another for a
similar amount, S 3, No. E 4,879, August 3, 1832; one
for 50/. S 3, No. E 4,889, August 3, 1832; and it was
fortunate that the prosecutor had called upon his trades..
men. for he might have lost all be had when he arrived in
London.
John Bentley, police-constable, No. 53, division M, was
on duty on Wednesday night, when the prosecutor and his
relative came to him in the Borough, and stated the cir-
cumstances of the robbery, and from the description he
gave of the prisoners, he took them where the prisoners
used, and on seeing them, the prosecutor instantly, and
without being questioned, pointed them out. Witness
secured them.
Alderman ANSLEY in the hope that publicity might do
good, should remand the prisoners until Saturday next ;
but as to the purse containing the gold and silver, &c.,
there was no probability of that being recovered.
THAMES POLICE.
FRAUDS ON LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—Four fellows
of shabby-genteel appearance, named John Barrett, Al-
fred Sussex, Daniel George Whaley, and Robert Brad-
bury, were charged with consuming a great quantity of
provisions, beer, ale, liquors, and cigars, at the house of
Mr. John Hahne, the Kinder's Arms, Little Joiner-street,
Commercial Road East, without having the means to pay
the score. On the previous afternoon, the prisoners, who
had just got rid of their beards at a neighbouring barber's
shop, to make them look as decent as possible, entered the
Kinder's Arms, and took possession of the parlour. The
landlord making his appearance, they asked him what he
had got to eat in the house, and ordered dinner for four.
Mr. Hulme apologized to the gentlemen, and said he had
no meat in the larder, but recommended a fine large piece
of pickled salmon, weighing three pounds, the remains of

his own family's dinner. "Bring it in directly," exclaimed
it•T'sheth
tulated himself that he had so well hit the tastes of his ens-
tomers, and began to lay the cloth, when Barrett said
there was no occasion for one, as they were very peckish,
and wanted to begin eating without delay, and one knife
and fork would do for all. Mr. Mime replied that he
did not like to serve gentlemen in that kind of way ;
the cloth was laid in proper trim, the salmon was brought
and quickly devoured, with plenty of bread, three pots of
porter, and a "small drop of brandy and a bit of cheese,"
ordered after dinner to promote digestion. The prisoners
were loud in their praises of the good accommodation
afforded them, and called for cigars. Mr. Hulme brought
those which be generally serves to his customers, but the
gentlemen" said they were not good enough, and the
landlord sent to a tobacconist's close by for some superior
ones. The " gentlemen" then requested a pack of cards,
but Mr. Hulme replied that he never allowed card-playing
in his house. He was, however, at last induced, on their
promise not to play for money, to let them have cards.
Some rum and water was then called for, and the prisoners
pronounced it the best they ever drank, and Barrett said he
should never use any other house but the Kinder's Arms.
A second, third, and fourth glass of hot ruin and water was
called for, and despatched in quick succession ; and sub.
sequently, as a cooler, ginger beer was ordered. The
prisoners, at this time, began to cast many an anxious
look towards the door, which excited the suspicions
of Mr. Hulme ; and they also went out one at
a time to reconnoitre, but were closely watched and
no chance was given them to run away. After drink-
ing some mare drops of brandy, rum and water, gin-
ger beer, and ale, with now and then a biscuit, the bill
was called for and brought. It amounted to 1/. 135., in-
cluding dinner; and Barrett, after examining the items,
observed, "It is very reasonable, landlord; I wonder
how you could do it so cheap." " Very reasonable in.
deed, wonder how it could be done so cheap," echoed the
others. Barrett then stood up, and told the landlord they
bad no money; but Mr. Hulme believing this was said
in joke, left them a short time. On his return, he was
again told they had no money, and they wanted to go.
Mr. Hulme refused to let them move a step until his bill
was paid, and after some altercation Bradbury asked, if
the landlord would allow him to go alone and fetch the
money ? This was agreed to ; but he had scarcely left
the house before his companions said he would not return,
and they would
not pay their shares if he was allowed to
so away.
Mr• Hulme accordingly brought him back,
and during a scuffle in the passage he wilfully thrust his
hand through a pane of glass and smashed it. Mr. Hulme
now thought it high time to call in the police, and the
