Mr. Car:teen :eel Mr. Bodkin reenliecti tl-re preee-
cutien ; Mr. Pere ,11 eppearetl foe le, pr'eorier.
Mr. CneeksoN heving stated the :xec, proceeded to
call the following evidence :
Mathew Peak, a police-officer, attached to the Post-
office stated that the prisoner had been a clerk in the
Inland Department, and it was part of leis duty to sort
letters. On the morning of the 14th of November wit-
ness received instructions to place himself in such a
position as to command a view of the prisoner, without
the prisoner seeing -him. The prisoner had previously,
been suspected of stealing letters, *He obeyed his in-
structions, and about seven o'clock, on the morning al-
ready mentioned, he watched the prisoner sorting in
the Great Western Division. He watched him till be-
tween eight and nine o'clock, when he saw the prisoner
fumble with a number of letters, as though he were
crumpling one up, and then retire from the sorting-
room. As the prisoner left the room witness observed
that he had some letters in his right hand, but the
other hand was shut, and suspecting that it
held a money letter, which the prisoner wished
to parloin, he immediately disclosed his sus-
picions to Mr. Bourne, the superintendent of the
department. That gentleman directed witness to come
with him, and they both went in search of the prisoner,
whom they found in Mr. Buckingham's office, but Mr.
Buckingham was not there. Mr. Bourne said to him,
" Cunningham, you are suspected of stealing a letter—
you must let the officer search you." The prisoner re
luetantly consented to this, but nothing was found upon
him. A bundle of letters, however, was lying near
to the prisoner, and witness said to Mr. Bourne, " You
will find a money letter under them." Mr. Bourne ac-
cordingly took up the letters, and at the bottom was erne
crumpled up, with the seal unbroken. Mr. Bourne thee
directed witness to take the prisoner into custody. At
the police-court. the letter, which was addressed to
" Mrs. Williker, 28, Charlotte-terrace, Morristown,
Devonport, Devon," and contained a shilling, a sixpence,
and a pawnbroker's duplicate.
John Forbes, another constable attached to the Post-
offic‘, saw the prisoner come out of the Great Western
division office. The prisoner had one letter in his right
hand, and one or two between the thumb and forefinger
of his left hand, but the other three fit gers were pressed
down upon the palm of the hand crushing a piece of
paper, which looked like a crumpled letter. Witness
watched the prisoner into the " tick" room, and kept
his eye upon him till Mr. Bourne came down.
Mr. Henry Bourne, -one of the presidents of the
General Post-office, stated that the prisoner was a clerk
in his department, and had been in the service since
1849. • On the 14th of November, in consequence of a
communication from the previous witness. he went down
into the " Tick" room, where he sew the prisoner talking

to one of the clerks. He waited till he came out, when
witness observed that he had a letter in his right hand,
and others in his left. The prisoner said he had been to
ascertain if the letter he held in his right hand was re-
gistered; but witness, taking no notice of this remark,
requested the prisoner to follow him. They retired to
Mr. Buckingham's room, where witness took the letters
from the prisoner's left hand, and placing them on a
table, he said to the prisoner, " I suspect you have a
letter secreted about you somewhere." The prisoner
protested that he had not, and allowed Peak to search
him. Nothing, however, was found upon him; but Peak
raid he was positive the prisoner had a crumpled letter
in his left hand, and asked witness to examine the let-
ters on the table. Ho did so, and at the bottom of about
fourteen letters the letter in qucstion was discovered. It
ertimplt d, and had the appearance of having
been dOubled iii-three. •
Cross-examined by Mr. PARNELL —lt was the priso-
soner's duty to ascertain if the letter was registered, but
he should have come to witness, and not have gone to
the " Tick" room, though the information could be ob-
tained there. . .

William Lugsdale, the " Tick" clerk, stated that, on
the morning of the 14th of Novemlx,r, ale prisoner
came to him and asked if a letter he held in his right
hand was entered in the Dover bill? Ile did not notice
any letters in the prisoner':, left hand, nor did the pri-
soner appear to be at all confused.
Cross-examined—There was nettling strange, or un-
usual, or peculiar, in the prisoner's asking nth a

question.
Mr. Robert Walker, a master i❑ the Royal Navy,
identified the let V-r as one which he had posted r.t South-
sea, on the 13th instant.

This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. PARNELL addressed the jury, and insist( d that, at
the most, the evidence only made out a case of suspi-
cion, and the jury would not be justified in convicting
the prisoner of the charge imputed to him.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up with his ac-
customed clearness and precision,
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The prisoner was again indicted for stealing another
letter, containing a shilling, the property of the Post-
master General. He pleaded not guilty.
M. CLARKSON, having stated the case to the jury,
called the following witnesses:—
John Forbes, a messenger iu the Inland Department,
stated that en the morning of the 13:h, about half-past
eight o'clock, he saw the prisoner sorting letters in the
Great Western office. He watched him and eventually
he observed him crumple up a letter in his left hand.
Shortly afterwards the prisoner retired to a water-
closet, and witness followed him. Witness took up a
position in the adjoining water-closet, where he could
see the prisoner threugh a side-grating without being
seen himself. He saw the prisoner sit down on the seat
of the water-closet, and then °con a letter with a red
seal. He could perceive that the letter was dated from
Rochester, and commenced "My dear father." It con-
tained something which the prisoner took out and placed
in his pocket. The prisoner afterwards seemed to read the
letter, and then tear it into four parts, dropping the pieces
with the envelope down the pan of the closet. Witness then
gave an alarm to another officer, who caused a plumber
o open the pipe of the closet and get possession of the
fragments of the letter. He watched the prisoner back
to the sorting-office, having previously taken care to
lc ck the cloaca which was a self-acting one, and a
few minutes afterwards the pieces of the letter, which
he now produced, were brought to him by the plumber.
Cross examined by Mr. PARNELL on behalf of the
prisoner—Witness gave information of what had passed
to the superintendent of the department immediately;
but it was not till the following day that the prisoner
was arrested. He watched the prisoner through a
grating which was put up partly for the purpose of let-
ting air into the closet and of enabling the Post-office
authorities to keep a watch on all suspected persons en-
gaed in the service.
John Russell, another constable, employed at the
Post-office, corroborated the testimony of the last wit-
Iles's. He, with his brother constable, watched the pri-
soner through a grating placed between the two water-
closets. The prisoner was in the one, and witness with
Forbes was in the other.
Cross-examined—The prisoner was not searched
when be came out of the closet.
William Blackburn, the plumber, stated that in ac-
cordance with directions which he received from the
last witness, be opened the pipe attached to the water-
closet, and amongst the deposit he found the envelope
and pieces of paper which had already been produced.
Frederick James Fry, of Rochester, deposed that the
fragments of paper produced made up a letter which he
wrote to his father at Axminster, on the 12th of the
present month. That letter ho placed in the envelope
produced with Is., and posted it on the 12th at Roches-
ter. Had sealed it with red wax.
This was the case for theprosecntion.
Mr. PARNELL having- addressed the jury for the de-
fence,
The Learned JUDGE summed up the whole of the
evidence, and
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
ho CoURT deferred passing sentence till to-morrow.
BURGLARY.—George Rouse, aged 17, described as a
potman, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him
with stealing three bags, 33u shillings; 14 half-crowns,
121 sixpences. and other moneys, the property of George
Seatons in his dwelling-house, and afterwards bur-
glariously breaking out of the same dwelling-house.
Mr. CLARKsON informed the Court that the burglary
was committed in the Chalk Farm Tavern, but there was
a second indictment charging the prisoner with cutting,
stabbing, and wounding William Godson, the constable,
who arrested the prisoner, to prevent his lawful appre-
hension. •
Tne CoURT intimated a wish to examine the con-
stable and the medical witness on the subject of the se-
cond charge. It appeared from the evidence that the
prisoner stabbed the constable in the temple with a
knife, inflicting a serious wound, of about two inches in
length.
The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for life.
THE BURGLARY IN THE BEGENT'S-PARK.—This
case was fixed for Saturday.
PERJURY.—On the application of Mr. Ballantine the
trial of Mr. William Sobieski Kildabl, a proctor of

Dublin, who stands charged with perjury at the instance
of the Baron Von Steink, was put off on the ground
that the Baroness, who was a material and necessary
witness, had been suddenly taken ill, and was unable to
attend the court.

terday protponeil passing it on account of the prisoner
having stoutly denied that she had been before convicted,
although she was charged with having been so iu the
indictment.

four persons connected with the House of Correction at
Brixton stated that the primmer had bean confined iu
that gaol no less than four times since 1845.

his kft-hand coat pocke:, and at that time one of the
prisouer'ii friends sat next to aim. Directly- afterwards
he missed his pencil-case, and he communicated his sus-
picions to the proprietor of the house, that the prisoner's
friend had been sitting next to him at the time he lost.
his pencil-case. He was instantly surrounded by the
prisoner and several of his friends. The prisoner said,
"You accuse my friend of sterling the pencil-case!" and
immediately struck him a violent blow upon the face,
which was afterwards swollen. On reselling Maiden-
lane the prisoner again attempted to strike him, but was
prevented by the interference of the constable, who took
him into custody. •
The prisoner admitted that be struck the complainant,
and it was under circumstances of great provocation. He
accused his friend of robbery, and he certainly did strike

Mr. HALL said if the prisoner wished to act the part
of Don Quixote in protecting all his friends he must put
up with the consequence. He thouzht the complainant
had behaved very mildly in acquainting the proprietor
of the house cf his loss and his suspicions, whether they
were true or not. The prisoner had no right to assault
him in that outrageous manner. He fined the prisoner
the full penalty or 51, or one month's imprisonment.
The fine was immediately paid.

CASE BETWEEN THE CHURCH
OF ENGLAND AND THE PUSEYITES.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlP,—.The way in which the public has responded
to the letter of Lord John &ritell, encourages any
endeavour to confirm and support that remarkable
document.

No part of it evinces more of the (hellion and ac-
curacy which designate a leader of men, than that
which refers the actual outbreak to the invitations
held out by professed members of the Anglican
Church.

A step towards getting a bird's•eye view of the
case, will be to review the circumstances under which
the Anglican Church took its rise ; and if your
readers will be patient, the preliminary matter shall
be run through as rapidly as possible.
The Founder of Christianity and his contemporary
followers, promulgated a religion very slightly cere•
monial, and directed almost entirely to the effects
upon the life and conversation of its receivers. The
principles were embodied in documents either at the
time or soon after ; and the documents have re-
mained, with litt/e er no dispute upon the text, to the
pr,-Rent hour.

But no prevision was made against the tendency
to deterioration which attaches to all in which human
creatures are concerned. The Founder himself re-
ci,r(l,,d a doubt whether at a future coming he should
" find faith upon the earth ;" and the most active of
his apostles avowed a distinct prospect of a "man of
sin," " sitting" not in partibus but " in the
temple of God," and a, " mystery of iniquity" of
which he felt and saw the roots and beginnings, for it
" cloth already work." The apostles had their quar-
rels and disputes like other men ; and it so happened,
that on the most signal of these occasions (Galat. ii. 11),
the very one for whose supposed successor is claimed
the power of the keys, was put down and overruled by
a comparative neophyte, who had never seen the
Founder upon earth. Of all clear things the clearest,
is that if anybody was infallible nobody knew
it then, and that so far from security being pro-
vided
against the developement of error, its progress
and actual eommencement were announced in the
strongest terms, by those who had best right to know.
And as well these forebodings were ful-
filled. Of all theories of spiritual power the '
most convenient, is first to claim infallibility,
and then back it by declaring all reformers
to be schismatics, and consequently orthodoxy
identical with the conglomeration of abuse.
Political power soon added its temptations; and the
end was that nothing was too puerile or too atrocious,
to find its representation in the creed and practice of
what called itself the Church. During all this there
was no want of protesters against the process ; but
these were to be put down with fire and sword, by the
token that they did protest. Paulicians, Albigenses,
Waldenses, Lollards, kept up an unbroken fire of
remonstrance and heresy. Often locally suppressed,
the resistance was always there ; and when the re-
vival of learning turned the balance in favour of
recurrence to the original authorities, the conflagra-
tion burst out in all the most energetic portions of
European society.
England was not behind ; and the practical genius
of Englishmen conceived, what after all was the great
and useful idea, of taking the property of the corrupt
hierarchy, and out of it constructing a physical bul-
wark in defence of what they deemed more sound.
This might not keep pace with all the romance of
reform ; but though unromantic it was effective, and
the proof is that at this hour the enemy is running
his head against the same walls.

Here then were the elements out of which the new
hierarchy was to be formed. Men of all shades of
opposition to the general foe, and every gradation of
enlightenment upon the reasons, were to be com-
bined into something like a whole. It was as clear
that some must be kept below what they individually
would have aimed at, as that some must be
carried further. Everything was by necessity, within
limits, a compromise ; and to insist that either the
best informed or the worst should have everything
their own way, must have been ruin to the whole.
From temperament, habit, or accident, one man had
a lurking leaning towards one piece of silliness and
another to another - so that instead of its being strange
that traces of the Old follies should be found, the only
wonder is there were no more. And whatever their
number in detail, they formed no connected whole,
and were incompetent to conceal the existence of one
grand current directed against that species of falsifi-
cation of documents, which consists in burying them
beneath.a mass of interested additions under the title
of developements. As opposed to this, the fancies of
individuals were of little more ultimate account, than
the differences of stature and complexion in the con-
stitution of an army.
True it was, that the new army of the faith did not
thenceforth do everything a cultivated intelligence
might have desired. In bad times it was fond of
leaguing with political tyranny. But even then, it was
keeping out a worse ; and when the crisis came, it
sided with the right. If it did not exert itself till
threatened in its own existence by the ancient enemy,
this amounts to proof that it existed to the purpose of
the founders. The Seven Bishops might not be
everything an ardent imagination could devise ; and
their predecessors and successors may come under
the same category. But the Seven Bishops and the
mass they represented, drove civil and religious
despotism from the realm of England ; and it re-
mains to be seen whether the old bulwark has not
some virtue left.

themselves by copying"whichH e Here, then,

Laud's "mops and mower"
before the symbols. Another of the Anglican Fathers,
inly shocked at the paucity of Sacraments he saw
impending, bad conceived the bright idea that if Mar-
riage was not to be a Sacrament, something might be
done by tacking it to a Sacrament, and so ob-
tained the addition in
the rubric which states
it to be " convenient " that new-married per-
sons should receive the Communion at the time
of their marriage, or at the first opportunity after-
wards. Ground sufficient for an upstart of the new
apostacy, to frame a kind of " House that Jack built,"
and refuse to marry a couple where the man
could not be proved to have been confirmed, confir-
mation being somewhere stated as a preliminary to
the ceremony hinted at as "convenient" in the rubric.
The old power of Absolution had manifestly been the
subject of regrets; and these had been got over in
the most prominent place, by one of the most re-
markable specimens of theological evasion the world
has witnessed. The ancient priesthood claimed the
power of granting or withholding absolution upon
particular confession, with the same plenitude of
power that a chemist adds or withholds the mixture
which from two fluids is to produce a salt. The
genius of the Anglican Church devised the making a
general confession by the congregation that they
were miserable offenders, and then announcing
on the part of the priest, that power is given
to God's ministers to declare the absolution
and remission of their sins " to his people, being
penitent." In which the fraud is not in attempti g
n to
put off for true anything which is not, but in at-
tempting to put off one thing which is true, as being
the same with another which is not. The Church, or
some individual in it haunted with the ancient scru-
ples, wanted to preserve the utmost possible of the
ancient claim ; and most awkwardly it was performed.
But this was not the worst. In an adjunct to the
Communion Service, " the benefit of absolution" was
allowed to creep in without an attempt at palliation ;
and in the Service for the Visitation of the Sick the
power of the Church to absolve sinners, and of the in-
dividual priest to absolve the individual applicant, are
expressed in terms which might satisfy Pius the
Ninth at the present moment; and addition is made of
bordering on an invitation to auri-
cularthough room for evasion is
limiting it to cases where the
prsomethingovi
decdo n feh sysi closelyo
ni ,i
sufferer shall " feel his conscience troubled with
any weighty matter." Still these were more of
the nature of slips, or of submission to strong tempta-
tion, than anything else. No man doubts or has
doubted, that the broad general creed of the
Anglican Church on the remission of sins, is
the same as that of the Protestant Churches
in general, and that the rest is " leather
and prunella." But all t
apostasy. It was high
these made grand oppor-
tpurnotnitioetsinnfofror the modern_
curate to be troubling the beds
of the sick with demands for auricular confession,
and as gratifying to him as to any of this ascetics of
the olden time, to be deemed the conduit through
I,which the mercy of Ileum was conveyed into the
pariah, •

• Bishops too had their temptations, as well as en-
I rates; and there was one mystification of early
origin, which particularly attracted their patronage.
The great struggle of Protestmtism hail been on
the second of the two rites to which it conceded
the name of Sacraments. But there was another on
which it was possible to play the traitor, and the
game was played accordingly. The Founder of
Christianity had appointed an initiatory rite of simple
form, and had declared that those who believed in his
mission, and in evidence of it submitted to the rite, should
be partakers in the benefits he came to bring ; and
those who did not believe (not a word about the de-
claratory rite) should not. Nothing could he simpler,
or more remote from anything like a priestly conjura-
tion. The proffer was to such as were addressed,
being evidently voluntary agents and capable of un-
derstanding. But an unexpected complication soon
arose. The early Christians, partly from feel-
ings easily accounted for, and partly perhaps
from the progress of the superstitious notions which
after times were doomed to see increased, introduced
the custom of baptising their new-born infants. By
this they " made the glints first, and then they kill'd
them." Of what use could baptism be to an uncon-
scious infant ? The intellect of the time saw but one
way of escaping the difficulty ; and that was,
to suppose that baptism w;:s a conjuration,—a
ceremony not dependent for its efficacy on
the effect on tee mind of the recipient, but
possessing another effect not dependent on the reci-
pient's having a mind at all; in short, a superhuman
process, with which were to be connected the opera-
tions of an unseen world, as in a cognate case the
Daemon was obliged to avoid places sprinkled with a
certain water and a certain brush. It was the same
gross material silliness as had so sorely perplexed
Christendom in the interpretation of the other Sacra-
ment. Words descriptive of a type and a ceremony,
were to be interpreted in a mechanical sense for the sake
of getting up a sacerdotal miracle. And this was the
pet of our Bishops. When the clergy under their
charge went further than they liked in the matter of
other follies, they declare they had no authority to
interfere. When an Anglican clergyman let fall
words which looked like non-acquiescence in the pet
folly of the episcopal bench, then they could find
power to prosecute and to annoy, and it was as much
as the secular arm could do to rescue him from their
gripe.

On other points they showed an equal determina-
tion to shock the vulgar good sense of the Protestant
mind. If they combated the pretensions of Rome to
Apostolic succession, it was only to raise the plea that
the real Simon was themselves. Who taught them this
trumpery of an Apostolic succession at all ? Is not a
Methodist class-leader a successor of the Apostles,
if he demeans himself as the Apostles declare an
overseer ought, and teaches with a sincere mind the
Apostles' doctrine ? The Anglican Reformers, in
their anxiety to make as little change as possible,
may have inserted doubtful words about a " Catholic
Church," which they would probably have inter-
preted to mean everybody who in any age or clans
was ever a good Christian ; but they never advisedly
went into the quackery, of claiming to be the " one
true " by virtue of an unbroken succession of touches
for the Soul's Evil. Our modern Bishops were the frogs
that thus tried to puff themselves into the ox ; and
they must take the consequences.
Among the Bishops too were the supporters of the
attempt, in opposition to the clear direction of what
is emphatically called the Apostle of the Gentiles, to
re-introduce the obligation of the Jewish law on the
subject of the Sabbath ; an obligation the Anglican
Church had distinctly refused to recognize in its com-
mentary on the Jewish Commandments in its Cate-
chism. They would have called for the restoration of
Circumcision, if it had held out equal prospects of
spiritual domination, and had been leas personally
unpleasant. They carried their attempt so far, that
the Government and people united to put it down. A
hierarchy which had been discovered and put down in
the attempt to maintain a glaring falsehood, could not
fail to have lost ground in the estimation of the Eu-
peen public.
Under all these circumstances, who can wonder
that the restored puppet of the French army at Rome
was up and doing ? Whether it was politic to com-
bine it with so much of insult as in ways direct and
indirect has attended, is what time must show. It is
with two hundred thousand Austrians in 'its train,
and Russian reserves not specified, that " the compact
solid globe" is shown to us by the English Ca-
tholics as " rolling forward in happy ruled order."
We have heard such words before ; but did
not expect to find the Holy Alliance so soon
brought to our own doors. None of this would have
happened if Mazzini and Garibaldi had held their
ground ; no wonder, therefore, that the same agents
of British breed who were in Don Carlos' camp in
Spain, were found at the table of the French General.
France in her turn will probably be waked some morn-
ing with the armies of the coalition on the frontier,
" giving encouragement to the well-disposed within,"
and playing over again the game of which Frenchmen
set the monstrous example at the gates of Rome; which
if it happens, let none pity, but all rejoice at seeing the
wave so spend itself, and calculate upon the future.
But foreign politics will take care of themselves, as
they always do. The more immediate business is
with things at home.
And here the first point which impresses it-elf, is
that, without denying the full efficacy of the maxim
that nobody must be oppressed, there is an end of
everything that depended upon confidence in any
altered feeling in the Catholics as a whole. They are
at the direction of a foreign potentate, who if he
tells them to repeat the attempt of Guido Fawkes must
be obeyed, unless by the sceptical portion who chuse
to risk eternal damnation by refusal. In general they
no more dare decline, than a Popish governor of Malta
dared allow British hospitality to an Italian refugee.
We Protestants do not know what a serious thing it is
to expect to be damned; we have lurking notions of the
possibility of escape, which make us only half at the
disposal of any ghostly threatener. But if we believed
a foreign man had only to put on a triple cap and bid
the devil take us, we should be as unfit to be good Bri-
tish citizens as the others are ; we therefore should be
moderate. Still we must not be taken asleep; and we
have had an escape as it is. Its n'ont rien oublii, ils n'ont
rien appris, is as true as it was of those to whom it
' was originally applied. The hydrophobic patient has
been tried, and the first use of freedom was to snatch
at the hand that helped him. There may be
worthy individuals to whom the whole is matter of
great regret ; but bodies must be judged by the ac
tions of their officials. Does anybody, for instance, .
feel confident, that if circumstances had been such as
to invite the French fleet in Torbay to make a point
on Plymouth with the Pope's Bull for restoring Ca-
tholicity in England, an average Popish governor
could have been expected to do other than signalize
his attachment to the Holy See, like the Governor of
Malta ? There is nothing like looking things in
the face ; and if we do not, we have had fair
warning. If the facts had fallen in with less
favourable times, as for example when the Ileir
Apparent was supposed to be under the influence of a
Romish mistress or wife, there would have been new
Boynes, and possibly new Blenheims. As it is, we
must try to come off with less. But promptitude, not
letting alone, must be the way. A single proceed-
ing, or promise of proceeding, tending to throw the
protection of present or future law about the supre-
macy of the domestic legislature, though going no
further than a 40 shillings' penalty, would have settled
the question, which now seems likely to be left to the
strongworkings of popular energy. It is pity that Eng-
land should, for six months in every year, be without
the popular branch of government while Parliament
is partridge-shooting ; and enemies are quite intelli-
gent enough to take advantage of it. There will
probably be nothing done, but as the people call for it.
If there is a law, why is it not executed ? Six attor-
neys, duly retained, would tell us in twelve
hours whether there is a law or not. If there is not
a law, why is not a statement made, that something
is to be done or nothing ? But the Government is
not the only quarter where duties are to be discovered.
What is the Evangelical portion of the Church doing,
that it does not in the Spanish phrase " pronounce" ?
The Primate, and others of the Anglican leaders, have
shown themselves worthy of the public confidence
hitherto ; why do they not do more ? But do not
let them put the clergy upon controversy. The pub-
lic will only laugh, at dull discourses directed to prove
that Martin or Jack, and not Peter, is " the real ani-
mal." But a Primate who would bring up the old
Protestant principle in its substance and not in its
phylacteries, would take his seat by the men of the
olden time. The Queen's Ministers too, though they
cannot unmake a Bishop, at least without more
trouble than it is worth, might mend the breed.
Make Gorham a bishop, as a persecuted defender
of Scripture and common sense would have been
in the days of our fathers ; and see if that does
not balance a half-dozen of traitors. There are ways
for everything; and when men mean it, they take
them.
Lastly, what a luckless time was this for making a
disorderly retreat before the enemies cf Secular Edu-
cation. If men dare not w ith their tongues avow an
education which shall not involve the bending of the
mind by some priest or other, what is to be ex-
pected but that the boldest shall carry the day ?
Protestantism is not a series of dogmas ; it is a
branch of the mathematics, and holds of the same
cultivated reason, as the belief that the earth turns
upon its axis. The discovery of Euclid in the
Greek gave a fillip to the Reformation ; and what we
want, is people so educated that they shall be able to
distinguish between a document and its " develope-
meats. ' Wee want men taught and trained in such
soul's habits, as shall enable them to decide for them-
selves on the truth or falsehood of the oldetPro-
testant assumption, that " developemente','-, lan a
testament after the decease of the testator, are
forgeries. We do not want children to be
told so, in formularies that make them sick,
and which the other side can neutralize by formu-

laries of their own. Wo want the introduction
of those sources and means of knowledge which en-
abled our forefathers to pick their way when all the
religious teaching of the day was against them, and
when the cry was, as now, to bar "godless" in-
struction. The Protestant public knows what "god-
less " instruction means, and yet it cannot take the
hint. Let us conclude with the hope, that the
Government, without whom nothing is done in this
country, will see the accumulated interest given to the
question, and that the banner of " Secular Education,"
so strangely lowered before the enemy at the Lanca-
shire meeting, will be raised under its patronage.
With permission, on another opportunity inquiry
shall be made into the constitutional meaning of the
Queen's Supremacy ; which is already involved in
some of the positions taken.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

Showcth,

That your memorialists are deeply sensible of the
claims to the acimiration and respect of all civilized na-
tions which the Turkish Sultan has acquired by his re-
fusal to violate the sacred laws of hospiinli:y by deliver-
ing up to the Austrian and Russian Governments the
Hungarian and Polish refugees who had sought an
asylum in his territory.
That with these sentiments they venture to express
their approval of the sympathy jointly evinced by the
Governments of France and England with the high-
minded Sovereign of the Ottoman empire.
'But that your memorialists beg, nevertheless, to ex-
press their earnest hope that the refugees may be re-
leased without further delay from their present impri-
sonment, as its protraction inlan unhealthy climate, at
the instigation of their enemies, is calculated to render
nugatory the protection originally afforded to them by
the friendly powers of Europe, and insidiously to accom-
plish by indirect means the cruel and vindictive designs
of their implacable oppressors.
That as the term of banishment was originally meant
to be confined to a short space of time, and the personal
safety of the refugees, as well as the maintenance of the
independence of the Turkish Sultan, formed the grounds
of the interposition of the Governments of England and
France, the entire object of that interposition will be
frustrated by the continued detention of the Hungarian
and Polish exiles, under the dictation of Austria and
Russia, in a country where they are daily exposed to the
most imminent danger from the attacks of disease and the
stratagems of the assassin. •
That your memorialists beg respectfully, yet ur-
gently, to express their deep conviction that the honour
of the British name is irrevocably involved in the protec-
tion and prospects of these unfortunate but illustrious
men, and they venture to express their anticipations that
on this, as on former occasions, your Lordship will
firmly and worthily sustain the character of the British
nation.

DEATH OF LORD NUGENT, M.P. FOR
AYLESBURY.

The Right Hon. George Grenville Baron Nugent, of
Carlanstown, in the county of Westmeath, whose death
we announced in our paper of yesterday, was second son
of the first ➢larquis of Buckingham, by the only
daughter and heir of Robert Earl Nugent, who was
created a baroness in her own right in 1800, with the
special remainder to her second son, the late peer. He
was born in December, 1789, succeeded to the title in
March, 1812, and married, 1813, Anne Lucy, second
daughter of the late Major-General Hon. Vera Poulett,
and niece of Earl Poulett. Her Ladyship died in 1848,
leaving no issue. Lord Nugent will be remembered as
having taken an active part in favour of Queen Caroline,
and as the author of " Lands Classical and Sacred," and
other works. In politics he was ever a Whig-Radical.
He represented Aylesbury from 1812 to 1832. In the
latter year, he was uppointed Lord High Commissioner
of the lonian Islands, and remained there until 1835,
when he returned to England with the usual decoration
of G.C.M.G. In 1837 he again offered himself for
Aylesbury, but was defeated; and in 1839 once more
contested that borough, but was again unsuccessful. In
1543, in conjunction with Mr. George Thompson, the
present M.P. for the Tower Hamlets, he addressed him-
self to the constituency of Southampton, and sustained
another defeat; but, on again appearing before the elec-
tors of Aylesbury, at the general election iu 1847, his
Lordship was elected in the room of Captain Baillie Ha-
milton, to represent his early friends. It has already
been generally anticipated that the late Lord's successor
will be a staunch Protestant Protectionist, in the person
of Mr. Sergeant Ryles,

TIIE EXPOSITOR. No. IV.

A splendid engraving of the interior perspective of
the Crystal Palace invests the new number of the
Expositor with more than usual interest. The spec-
tator is supposed to be looking towards Kensington
Gardens, the view being sketched from near the
transept. A better or more vivid idea could scarcely
be conveyed of this stupendous undertaking. Among
the minor embellishments are some singular and in-
teresting woodcuts of a very novel invention—namely,
of some ornamented bricks, and other architectural
decorations, patented by Messrs. Bowers, Challinors,
and \Vooliscroft, Tunstall, Staffordshire Potteries.
The following description of these contrivances, as
beautiful as they are unquestionably new, will be
read, we doubt not, with curiosity :
" These ornamented bricks and decorations, which we
are glad to notice as an improvement of no small pro-
mise, following so speedily upon the abolition of the ex-
cise of bricks, are made from a mixture of clay and
other ingredients, calculated to vitrify with the clay, pre-
cisely in the manner described in the very fully illustrated
account of the Birmingham brick manufacture given in
our second number, with, however, more careful selec-
tion, grinding, and combination of the clay, and other
ingredients, and the use of the hydraulic-press in the
process of the moulding, by which all air and moisture
are so completely forced out as entirely to obviate the
necessity of exposing, as described, in our former article,
the moulded material to the process of slow drying before
they can with safety be baked. There hydraulic pressed
bricks and clay decorations come from the mould ready
for the kiln, and are baked in the usual manner, when,
from the nature of the ingredients, they assume a vitre-
ous character, lose all absorbent properties, and become
impervious to damp and rain, and can be painted and
grained with the utmost facility, so as to imitate any kind
of oak, rose, satin, or other woods, or sculptures in stone,
or be gilded without injuring the brilliancy of the gold
leaf. They may supply the place of wood carving in
architectural decoration, and, from their fire-proof na-
ture, add to the safety of the buildings; besides being
about the tenth of the cost of wood carving. Many
places now left bare from the expense of such decoration
can, by this equally excellent, if not superior material,
be handsomely adorned at a trifling outlay. Wood
carvings, similar to those we have witnessed in earthen-
ware, would cost from 70s. to 80s. per yard; whereas
the price the patentees affix to their material is 7s. 6d.
per yard. The architectural purposes to which it is
fitting are all internal and external decorations of
churches, public buildings, mansions, houses, and shops;
comprising cornices, mouldings, skirting boards, finger
plates for doors; to match in design any style of archi-
tecture, or the taste of any private individual; and orna-
mental bricks suited for arches as well as for facings of
pilasters. In complying with the new Act of Parliament,
with regard to the joining of shop fronts, which requires
that a distance of nine inches on each side must be left
between every shop front, consisting of a party wall,
proof against fire, by erecting a pilaster of these orna-
mental bricks, not only will a space of nine inches be
gained, a thoroughly fireproof division be erected, but a
graceful appearance, adding to the attractiveness of the
marts of commerce.

" The centrepiece ornament for a ceiling, intended for
the great Exhibition, from the nature of the material,
displays a freedom and grace rarely accomplished in
similar works, with a sharpness of outline that shows its
capability for minute productions. It is equally appli-
cable for picture-frames, upholsterers' fittings, bed and
window cornices, and all other purposes in which mould-
ings and wood-carving are used. The ornaments can be
fixed by means of screws or liquid cement in any place
where required. From the varied capabilities, fireproof
nature, imperishability from exposure to the weather,
beauty, and price, there is little doubt they will rapidly
come into general use. The inventor is Mr. J. H. Bad-
deley, of Shelton, Staffordshire."
Besides these illustrations, the paper contains some
attractive details respecting the building in Hyde-
park, and a capital sketch of the navigable balloon
recently exhibited in Paris at the Hippodrome.

FRANKLIN EXPEDITION.—Captain Forsyth, R. N.,
has addressed the following letter to the Gutta Percha Com-
pany, Wharf-road, City-road, London :—" 14, Stratford-
place, Camden-square, Camden-town, November 18th, 1850.
Gentlemen,—lt gives me much satisfaction in being able to
bear testimony to the value of Gutta Percha in constructing
Boats. The Gutta Percha Boat presented to Lady Franklin
by Messrs. Serle and Co., for the use of the Expedition under
my command to the Arctic Regions, proved an invaluable ac-
quisition to the Expedition. Whilst the other Boats con-
structed of wood suffered much by the cutting of the young
ice, the Gutta Percha Boat was not in the least damaged,
and returned to England in almost as good condition as
when she left, although she underwent all the rough 'Nvork
of the voyage.—l remain, Gentlemen, your obedient 'servant,

RUMOURED DAMAGE TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—
It was rumoured throughout London, in the course of Mon-
day, that the storm of Sunday had done serious damage to
the works in Hyde Park, and the damage was estimated at
ettms varying from 1,0001, to 4001. The fact is, however,
that, with the exception of a few unfastened planks which
twee blown dOwn.from a scaffold, and the dektruction of about
tea square feet of glaos.(which, from ,not,,baving been pro-
perly secured on Saturday night, was in, tything but a fit

ATTEMPT TO MURDER A POLICEMAN

IN ESSEX.

William Wood, a young determined-looking fel-
low, who has often been in custody for poaching and
other offences, was yesterday brought before Mr. D.
Ede and Mr. Spitty, county magistrates, sitting in
petty sessions, at the Town-hall, Billericay, Essex, for
examination on a charge of having made a desperate
attempt to murder Robert Bambrough, an officer in
the Essex constabulary, by violently maltreating him
and, when insensible, dragging him into a pond, and
leaving him for dead. It maylbe necessary to mention
that in the course of last week the prisoner was found
poaching on the estate of Lord Petre, in this neigh-
bourhood. After much difficulty he was captured by
the keepers, the gun which he had with him being
broken in the scale. Two pheasants were found in
his pockets, and on being examined before the magis-
trates he was committed to the county gaol at Chelms-
ford. On Thursday morning the injured officer was
conveying him along the road to Brentwood, prior to his
removal to Chelmsford, end on nearing a pond by the
ways!de he suddenly turned round upon the ufficer,
who from kindness had only fastened the handcuffs
to one wrist of the prisoner, the constable having
hold of the other end. Succeeding in throwing the
officer down, and hitting him with the end of the
handcuffs, and jumping up3n him, he dragged bim
into a pond and made off. As quickly as possible Mr.
Coulson, the superintendent of the district, had a full
description of the ruffian circulated. lie was shortly
traced along the road to Tilbury Fort, where he was
found to have crossed the Thames to Gravesend, some
gentlemen from motives of charity having given him
3d. for the ferry. Mr. Coulson, considering that he
would be making the best of his way to Chatham to
enlist, two expert officers were sent in that direction,
and, on their arrival in Chatham, they found the pri-
soner in custody. He was in a beer-shop in the
Military-road, when the landlord, singularly
enough, read a paragraph in one of the
London papers relating to the affair, and thinking
that the description of the escaped assailant corre-
sponded with that of his guest, the police were called
in, and the prisoner arrested. On the officers of the
Essex constabulary reaching the town, they duly
identified him and removed him to Billericay. The
prisoner, securely ironed, was brought over from Brent-
wood Gaol yesterday morning by Mr. Coulson, the
superintendent, for examination. The wounded officer
being totally unable to leave his bed, the magistrates
arranged to take his deposition at his cottage, the pri-
soner being present. Bamborough, in his evidence,
gave all the particulars of the assault up to the time
when he was rendered insensible. The prisoner after
striking him with great ferocity, dragged him into
the pond and threatened to drown him, pressing his
knees upon his throat, and filling his mouth and nos-
trils with mud.

A little girl, named "latch, partly corroborated
the evidence of the officer, and one or two per-
sons living in the neighbourhood spoke to finding him
in the pond in a state of insensibility, and dreadfully
injured by the blows he had received.
The prisoner was ultimately committed to the
county gaol.

NEW REML DY for SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS.
It has been remarked that many of the happiest
discoveries in science have been the result of mere ac-
cident ; and although to a certain extent this may be
true, yet we shall find, on examination, that we are
less indebted to the accident itself than to the mind
by which it was perceived. In other words, there are
persons who possess the peculiar faculty of seeing
things through a medium of their own. They are
original thinkers, who view the most ordinary sub-
jects under new aspects, and enjoy a quickness of per-
ception which enables them to seize hold of the prin-
ciple which binds facts together, and is the great
secret of their mutual dependency. The appearance
and relative position of the fixed stars were known to
the Chaldean shepherds before the genius of Coper-
nicus and Newton revealed the laws which appear to
govern the order and harmony of the universe. The
anatomical facts connected with the valvular
structure of the veins and heart indicating the ne-
cessary current of the circulation and the motion
of the blood itself, were known to Eustachius,
Servetus, and Fabricius, long before Harvey pointed
out the physiological principles which govern the cir-
culation. In chemistry, too, it is the same. The
alchemists themselves were well acquainted with the
existence and properties of a vast variety of substances,
the analysis of which only yielded to the superior
abilities of those original thinkers who, like Black,
Cavendish, Sir Humphrey Davy, &c., observed phe-
nomena for themselves, moving in no fictitious atmos-
phere and bowing to no preconceived immaculate
authority. Such men live in a world of their own ;
they see not with the eyes of ordinary observers.
They perceive, with intuitive quickness, objects in
new relations ; and suggestions spring up in their
minds, like the imagery which rises up creatively in
the imagination of the poet. Such philosophers make,
not one discovery, but many discoveries. One new
principle of science found out affords a clue to the
solution of a whole series of mysteries. The thread
of the labyrinth once gained, its intricacies are then
easily explored. When Sir Humphrey Davy, by the
aid of a powerful voltaic battery, decomposed one
earth and pointed out its metallic basis united with
oxygen, it was easy enough to extend the experimen-
tal h.quiry to other earths, and decompose in succes-
sion potash, soda, magnesia, &c. So also is vegetable
chemistry. The discovery of Veratria by Dr. Turn-
bull suggested to his mind the discovery of Aconitine ;
therefore we ought not to be surprised that in this
instance also one original thinker, in following out
his own peculiar modes of thought, has the good for-
tune to discover many things which were not before
" dreamed of in our philosophy."
We make these remarks in justice to Dr. Turnbull,
who now appears before us as the inventor of a new
remedy for short-sightedness, an imperfect condition
of vision which is one of the " class diseases" of civi-
lized society. We have all of us probably noticed that
short-sighted people very often partially close their
eyelids, in order to make distant objects more clearly
perceptible. The doctor, in making this observation,
began to reflect on the physiology of the case ; and as
the iris, in such instances, is more or less unusually
dilated, it occurred to him that any medicinal agent
that would act upon the iris so as to cause it to contract
would correct the defect. He also naturally enough
reflected, that as the cause of short-sightedness de•
pends on the convexity of the cornea, as well as on
the convexity of the lens, the effect of contracting the
iris would be to extend the axis of vision, thereby di-
minishing apparently the convexity of the cornea;
the effect of which must be to make the rays of light
pass in a direct line through an approaching plane,
and thus bring distant objects within its range. The
truth of this theory was established by the result. The
doctor found that the tincture of ginger and the tinc-
ture of pepper, made of a certain strength, and rubbed
over the forehead according to his directions, produced
contraction of the iris; and after this had been ap-
plied, and the plan of treatment he prescribes perse-
vered in, short-sighted persons have completely over-
come the imperfection, and been enabled to lay per-
manently aside their concave glasses. The value of
this discovery is greatly enhanced by its simplicity,
and it certainly deserves a fair trial by the profession.

PROTESTANTISM IN THE UNITED STATES.-111.8
subjoined statistics of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
the United States will doubtless prove interesting to our
religious readers. It will be remembered that this church,
allowing for difference of country and institutions, is affirm.
tive with the Church of England. Of this Church there are
in the United States—Dioceses, 29 ; bishops, 32 ; priests and
deacons, 1,557 ; whole number of clergy in the United States,
1,589. Baptisms—adults, 2,698 ; infants, 1,516 ; total,
4,214. Confirmed, 7,461; communicants, 87,794. The num-
ber of clergy! is as follows in the several dioceses :—New

DEATH OF MKS. GORE BELL MARTIN.—The
American journals announce the demise of this lady, which
took place in New York shortly after landing from a voyage
across the Atlantic. Mrs. Martin had been prematurely
confined at sea, and from that moment gradually sunk.
Mrs. Bell Martin was the daughter of the late Mr. Martin,
M.P. for the county of Galway, the proprietor of the exten-
sive estates of Connemara. In 1847 she married Mr. Gore
Bell, the nephew maternally of the late Mr. Dillon Browne,
M.P. The decased lady was the author of several valuable
literary productions, and had proceeded to American on a
literary tour.

ASSASSINATION OF AN ARAB BEAUTY.-111 Arab
girl, named Majauba, well known at Algiers for her beauty,
has just been assassinated at her residence in that place.
This girl, who was known to be always dressed with a cer-
tain quantity of jewellery about her, was sitting alone,
smoking on her divan, when an Arab, named Sliman-Boug-
cloud, suddenly entered, and stabbed her in several places
with a poignard. At the same time he commenced tearing
her ear-rings from her ears, and her necklace from her
bosom. The cries of the young woman gave the alarm, and
just as the murderer was leaving the house with the jewel,
in his hand, he was met by persons who had heard the out-
cry, and who arrested him. He has been lodged in prison
to take his trial. The poor girl expired shortly after, and
her body was found stabbed in thirty-three places.—French
Paper.

THE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY AND
THE DANISH GOVERNMENT. - The British Government
having, as we lately stated, placed 40,000 Ordnance blankets
at the disposal of the Danish Minister for the use of the army
in Schleswig, the General Steam Packet Company have de-
livered them free of charge to the Danish authorities at Ton•
ningen. For this act of sympathy for the Danish nation,
the Count Reventlow, the Ambassador of Denmark, has, in
very handsome letter, conveyed to the secretary of the com-
pany his warm acknowledgments.
ULSTER CANAL AND RAILWAY.—A Bill will be
applied for in the next session of Parliament to make a rail.

_now almost the sole proprietor of the
canal, is the promoter of the railway, and the work will be
prosecuted at his GiVil expense. The distance is about seven
statute miles.

HUDDERSFIELD, TIJESDAY.—We have bad a little
more doing in our market this week amongst the
stripes and large checks. More buyers have attended
the market to-day than have done so for the last few
weeks. Doeskins and pilot cloths have been in better
request for the home market. The Taney trade con-
tinues much the same, being generally dull, and
nothing doing, except in new patterns which meet
with pretty ready purchasers. Yarns continue firm.
The wool market is flat, except fur colonial wools, of
a low quality.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—With the exception of a
few orders for fancy goods, there is scarcely anything
doing in the worsted trade; and the aspect of our
Pleci3 Hall, to-day, has been unusually dull. In yarn
and wool, there is nothing doing, and prices may,
thr.refore, be regarded as nominal.
LEEDS, TIIESDAT.—There has been a very fiat
market to-day at the Cloth Halls, and, with the ex-
ception of a few deliveries of winter goods, there is
bat little doing to order. Business in the warehouses
continues dull.

FATAL ACCIDENT.--RAILWAY PASSENGERS' As-
BURANCE.—DISt week an engine-driver named James
Shiells, while on duty, was sevcr,ly crushed be-
twixt two carriages, and was taken to the infirmary,
and died on Wednesday night from the injuries
then received. We learn that in this caso en in-
surance had been effected with " Trio Railway Pas-
sengers Assurance Company" only a few months pre-
vious for 500/., which now falls to deceased's widow,
thus rendering her, to a certain extent, independer.t
of grants from the railway company, or petitions for
support of herself and lamily. This case is to
striking contrast with that of the guard, killed n
few weeks ago, who, not being insured, left
s wife and family totally unprovided. tn.. Cases liko
• these bring out the advantages to be derived from
• life insurance; and we are glad to Learn that it is in
contemplation by some railway companies to make it
imperative. on all their servants to insure, as the pre.
mTm is so trifling as not to inconvenience the lowest
paid servants, in comparison with the advantages secured
is case of accident. The company have also had another
engine-driver, of the name of W. P. Graves, who was
reterborougb, Oct. 22d-

began:—
" The B.'s of R.," said Mrs. Bull, getting, by this
prudent device, over the obnoxious words, " caused your
poor father a world of trouble before any one of you
were born. They pretended to be related to ns, and to
have some influence in our family; but it can't be allowed
for a single moment—nothing will ever induce your
poor father to hear of it; let them disguise or constrain
themselves, now and then, as they will, they are by na-
ture an insolent, audacious, oppressive, intolerable race."
Here little John doubled his fists, and began squaring
at the Bulls of Rome, as he saw those pretenders with
his mind's eye. Master C. J. London, after some con-
siderable reflect'on, made a show of squaring likewise.
"In the days of your great, great, great, great, grand-
father," said Mrs. Bull, dropping her voice still lower,
as she glanced at Mr. Bull in his repose. " the Bulls of
arose were net so utterly hateful to our family as they
are at present. We didn't know them so well, and our
family were very ignorant and low in the world. But
we have gone on advancing in every generation since
then; and now we are taught, by all our family history
and experience, and by the most limited exercise of our
rational faculties, That our knowledge, liberty, progress,
social welfare and happiness, are wholly irreconcileable
and inconsistent with them. That the Bulls of Rome
are not only the enemies of our family, but of
the whole human race. That wherever they
go they perpetuate misery, oppression, dark-
ness, and ignorance. That they are easily made
the tools of the worst of men for the worst of purposes;
and that they cannot be endured by your poor father, or
by any man, woman, or child of common sense, who
has the least connexion with us."
Little John, who had gradually left off squaring,
looked hard at his aunt, Miss Eringobragh, Mr. Bull's
sister, who was grovelling on the ground, with her head
in the ashes. This unfortunate lady bad been, for a
length of time, in a horrible condition of mind and
body, and presented a most lamentable spectacle of dis-
ease, dirt, rags, superstition, and degradation.
Mrs. Bull, observing the direction of the child's glance,
smoothed little John's hair, and directed her next obser-
vations to him.
Ah! you may well look at the poor thing, John!"
said Mrs. Bull; for the Bulls of Rome have had far too
much to do with her present state. There have been
many other causes at work to destroy the strength of her
constitution, but the Bulls of Rome hare been et the
bottom of it; and, depend upon it, wherever you see a
condition at all resembling here, you will find, on in-
quiry, that the sufferer has allowed herself to be deslt
with by the Bulls ef Rome. The cases of squalor and
ignorance, in all the world most like yonr aunt's, arc to
he found in their own household; on the steps of their
doors; is the heart of their homes. In Switzwrland,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEMTORS' COURT, Nov. 27.
(Before the CHIEY CCMMIsSIONER.)
MARSHAL HAI NAIT'S RETREAT AT BANKSIDE EE
WILLIAM BENFIELD.

This insolvent, the keeper of the George public-house,
Bankside, where General Ilayneu retreated on being at-
tacked by B inlay and Perkins's draymen, applied under
the Protection Act on his interim order.
Mr. Dowse supported.
There was no opposition by the creditors to the ap-
plication.
The appearance before the Court was attributed to the
profits of the' George (now known as "Marshal Hay-
nau's Ile.fugt4") being totally intrlEvate to meet the ne-
Fenlry expein,s of the bn%inesF. Strange to gay, the
insolvency was owing to the nututrr of vi.,ltors to the
Place, by which the regular customers left the house.
Crowds had visite i the premises out of curiosity, without
partaking of refreshments, end the customer who had
lunched and dined at the place departed in consequence
of the vi,itnre.
Thc: Court named a day in th2ceimber for the consi-
der ation of the final order.

The accounts from New York this week contain
nothing of importance. The arrival of the steamers from
California, mentioned by the last advices as having been te-
legraphed, with 650,0001. of gold dust, and bringing intelli-
gence of a further sum of F5l
,0001. waiting at the Isthmus
of Panama for shipment, had again increased the confidence
regarding California- The dates thence are but three weeks
later, namely, to the i;th of October, but the intelligence re-
ceived presents no new features. The passengers arriving
home by the steamers are described as speaking highly of
their gains, and a large proportion of them are said to con-
template a speedy return.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

FORGIMY.— George Harcourt, aged 29, described as a
litrk, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering
a receipt for the sum of 501., with intent to defraud the
Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway Company.
the prispoer pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Clarkson end Mr. Parnell conducted the case for
he prosecution; and Mr.l3allantine, with whom was Mr.
fluddlestone, defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the opening statement of the Learned
("ounsel, and the evidence which was afterwards called,
.has an interest' warrant for 41. ss. 10d., payable to Mr.
ouncroft, a shareholder in the Wbitehaven and Furness
•Tunctio❑ Company, was made out by the prisoner on
the 17th of January, 1848, and entered in the cash-book
if the company as having been duly paid. `Oa
the follo►wing 12th of February, another warrant
'or the same amount was issued in the name of a Mr.
Wingate, an insurance broker in Glasgow, but the cor-
esponding entry in the cash-book represented the
f/. 10d. to have been paid to Mr. Duneroft. Now
Mr. Wingate was in arrear of one call on his shares, and
vas therefore not entitled to the interest. It was, how-
'ver, alleged that the prisoner forged the name of Win-
sate to the warrant to obtain the money from the
')anker's, and made the false entry in the cash-book
to deceive the company. On the 16th of February
mother warrant was issued, in the prisoner's hand-
vriting, for 41. ss. 10d., payable to Mr. Wingate, and
t was so paid by the bankers, and entered in the cash-
hook, though Mr. Wingate never received the ineney,
nor had he authorised any one to sign the receipt to this
Afarrant, which was not in his handwriting. 'rho first
of these three warrants was duly paid to Mr. Dencrofr,
and quite legal arid regular, but the other two were al-
eged to be spurious, atsd the receipts to be forgeries,
,n the prisoner's handwriting.
Mr. George Hill Wingate, an insurance broker at
raaagow, deposed that in February, 1848, he was a
shareholder in the Whitehaven and Furness Junction
Railway Company. At this period he was one call in
irrear, and this would have disentitled him to receive
any dividend. The receipts to the two dividend war-
rants now produced, bearing date respectively the 12th
and the 18th of February. 1848, were not written by
ital. and if he had paid his call he should at this time
►ave only been entitled to the payment of one dividend.
At the period when the receipts bore date witness was
in Scotland.

Mr. W. Bailey deposed that he was accountant to the
.ompany iu question. The prisoner had been employed
as one of the clerks to the company; the cashbook which
qe produced was kept by him, and the entries in it were
n his handwriting. Among the shareholders of the com-
pany was a person named Duncroft, and ho was entitled
to a divicknd in 1848, aed on the 17th of January in that
year there was an entry in the prisoner's honk of a sum of
U. ss. 4d. being paid to him as dividend; and on the
t2ili of February there was an entry of another sum of
41. ss. 10d. being paid to the same person. A dividend
warrant also appeared by the prisoner's book to have
been issued to Mr. Wingate, and on the 16th of February
in the prisoner's , book there was an entry of a sum of
tl. ss. 10d. being paid to Mr. Wingate; and it also ap-
peared that a second dividend warrant Shad been issued
,n the name of Wingate, but the entry in the cashbook
'made the payment apparently to refer to Mr. Duncroft.
\fr. Wingate could not under any circumstances have
been entitled to have received two dividends at this time.
These warrants were all signed by Mr. Meyer, who at
,his time acted as secretary. The several documents re-
ferred to were then handed to the witness, and he ex-
xessed an opinion that the forged receipts were in the
undwriting of the prisoner.
By Mr. BALIANTINE—WitI3ASS was merely the ac-
cAtatant of the company, and did not succeed Mr. Meyer
in the office of secretary. The (chairman of the com-
pany was Lord Lonsdale. He knew nothing of the pri-
o.iner till the month of June in the present year, but he
,sad seen:him write two or three times. Mr. Roy was
the solicitor to the company. He had examined the
books i❑ the presence of that gentleman, and Mr. Roy
ailed h s attention to the figures 41. ss. 10d., and said he
was sure they were written by the prisoner. Mr. Roy
was the solicitor of the company, and he had also acted
as solicitor for this prosecution, but he did not know
where he was at this time. He could state distinctly
:hat he Bair the prisoner write upon one occasion, and he
formed his opinion of the prisoner's handwriting from
this fact, and from comparisons he had made with other
documents. and from what Mr. Meyer the late secretary
bad told him.

Mr. R. 11. Knight, a clerk in the office of Messrs. Roy
*lid Co., also spoke to his belief that the forged docu-
ments in question were in the handwriting of the pri-
soner. _ _

Upon cross-examination the witness said, that Mr.
W. Roy attended to the duties of the Whitehaven Rail-
way Company. He might be the solicitor. He consi-
dered that the firm were the solicitors to the company.
The firm was composed of two gentlemen. Mr. William
and Mr. Richard Roy. It was more than he could say
where Mr. Roy was at that time. He might be at home
ill perhaps.
Mr. CLARKSON here interposed and said he had sent
for Mr. Roy.
The cross-examination was then continued, and in
answer to further questions that were put to the witness
',e said that he saw Mr. W. Roy at the office on the
previous afternoon, and he understood that ho had met
with an accident by falling from a chaise. He believed
that the solicitor fur the prisoner had called at the office
with a sub; mars for Mr. Rey to produce a letter, and
this fact might have been mentioned to Slr. Roy, but he
did not know that it bad. He remembered a trial
connected with the company taking place in Scotland,
but he had no quarrel with the prisoner upon that occa-
sion, There was a meeting of the company More this
trial, and he remembered Mr. Ray telling the prisoner
to take the minute book home to the residence of Mr.
Meyer, in order that he might insert a resolution be-
tween the last minute and the signature of the chairman.
Lord Lonsdale, so us to make it appear that the resolu•
tion bad been passed at the meeting. The alteration
had reference to the period for making a call, and the
hook which contained the entry was put in process in
the Court of Scotland. He had never heard that the
prisoner had accused Mr. Roy of making false entries in
the books of the company, and thereby appropriating
large sums of money to his own use; but he believed he
did write a letter to Lord Lonsdale complaining of his
being discharged from his situation, but in which nothing
was said of any misappropriation of the funds of the
company. The prisoner was not given into custody till
tbree months after he had written this letter:

calling out, the other man proceeded to strangle her by
twisting sorm.thing round her neck, from the effects of
which she fell down and became quite insensible. She
further said that on the Saturday night previously,
during the temporary absence of her master and mis-
tress from home, a wan wearing a mask called at the
house, and the moment she opened the door he wanted
to get into the house, saying he know where her master
kept his cash box in his bed-room, and that he (the
stranger) wanted to get it. That instead of letting him set
his foot inside the slammed the door in his face, and that
soon afterwards her master and mistress came home. She
further represented that the same man that had come there
with a mask had met her in Chiswell-street, when she
was going up to see her mother, who lives in Wilton.
gardens. Tabernacle-square, Hoxton, and induced her to
go into a house with him in that neighbourhood, where
he seduced her, adding that she had seen the same man
on other nights when she went on errands, and that he
was frequently loitering about the house where she was
in service. Acting upon the information thus given,
Mr. Superintendeut Haynes had an interview with the
young woman on the subject of the attempt at strangu-
lation she asserted was made upon her, and although
she at first persisted that her description of what had
happened was true, she afterwarcli, upon being closely
pressed, admitted that the greater portion of her state-
meat was untrue, and that she had tied the cord round
her neck with a view to make it appear that some per-
seu had attempted to deprive her of life. The superin-
tendent added, that the medical man who was called to
attend the girl pronounced it as his opinion that she
could not have tied the curl in the manner it was found
round her nt'ck, and that it must have ueeessarily
been done by some other party. " Now," said the
superintendent " if the girl had died on the spot where
she was found, and under the circumstances -described,
with this ligature (producing the cord) round her neck,
the supposition would be that she had met with her death
from violence, especially after the elector's opinion had
beet; expressed, and no doubt it would have caused much
excitement. That in consequence of her having subse-
quently confessed that she did the act herself she was
taken into custody on the charge of having attempted to
commit suicide.

By Mr. CLARKSON—The entry to which ho had re-
ferred related to a call, and the alteration was made in
order that the date of the notice of the call should appear
more clearly.''
Baron ALDERSON—This shows the value of the evi-
dence derived from entries in books of this description.
Two other clerks in the service of Messri. Roy were
lien examined, and they expressed their belief that the
forged receipts were in the handwriting of the prisoner.
Mr. W. Roy was then put in the box, but the only
questions put to him by the counsel for the prosecution
were whether he was not the solicitor for the prosecution,
and whether he had not met with an accident on Mon-
day last; to both of which he replied in the affirmative.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he had no questions to put to
the witness.

John Forrester, the officer, deposed that warrants were
placed in his hands, on the sth of October, for the ap-
prehension of the prisoner and Meyer. The latter ab-
sconded, and he was unable to find him; but ho appre-
hended the prisoner at his own house, and he expressed
himself ready to accompany him to meet the charge that
was made against him. After his committal he was ad-
mitted to bail.

This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. BALLANTINE then made a very earnest appeal to
the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and, after comment-
ing upon the manner in which the affairs of this com-
pany appeared to have been conducted, observed that it
seemed to him to be a very extraordinary circumstance
that, although it was perfectly clear a great number of in-
dependent persons must have been well acquainted with
the handwriting of the prisoner, no witnesses had been
called to prove the alleged forgery but the clef ks who
were in the employ of Mr. Roy, the solicitor for the
prosecution. He then remarked upon the fact of Meyer,
the secretary to the company, having absconded, and
urged that it was impossible for the jury to entertain any
doubt but that he had been west ext -nsively tnixe i up
in these transactions, and that in all probability he was
in reality the guilty party.
Several very respectable witnesses were calledon behalf
of the prisoner, some of whom had been on intimate
terms with him for a great many years, and they ex-
pressed their opinion that the forged signatures were not
in his handwriting. The prisoner also received a very
high character for integrity and propriety of conduct.
Mr. CLARKSON having replied upon this evidence,
. -

Mr. Baron MARTIN summed up tlie whole case, and
The jury, after deliberating a short time, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.
There was an attempt at applause by parsons in the
court when the verdict waa delivered, but it was re-
pressed by the officers.
There were other indictments of a similar kind against
the prisoner, and the counsel for the prosecution inti-
mated their intention to proceed with them before the
same jury on Friday morning.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTHWARK._

In reply to Mr. A'BECKETT,
Mrs. Denham, the prisoner's mistre3s, said that the
prisoner had been in her service about three months,
and that she behaved well during that period, the only
fault that was found with her being that of staying
out longer than was necessary when she was sent on
errands.

The prisoner, who stood at the bar with her hands
covering her face, replied that she could say nothing in
extenuation of her offence—that she did nut know what
could have induced her to act in such a manner as had
been described, and that she sincerely regretted all that
had happened.
Mr. A'BECKETT said she had acted a most wicked
part. The Magistrate added that he should call upon
the prisoner to find sureties. •
The prisoner's mother, who seemed in much trouble of
mind, stood forward, and s‘id that she could not account
for her extraordinary conduct, and that she WWI always
a virtuous and well-conducted girl; that she (the mother)
had no reason to believe her daughter had been se-
duced; and that if she were now liberated she should be
taken home and looked after.

ANOTHER CASE OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. —Yester-
day Harriet Sewell, a young woman in the service of N,lr.
Charles Denham, No. 1, Canterbury Cottages, New
Kent-road, was placed at the bar More Mr. A'Beckett,
charged with attempting to commit suicide under cir-
cumstances of an extraordinary nature.

Mr. Superintendent Haynes stated that on Sunday
night last Mr. Denham came to the station-house for the
purpose of giving the following information:—He (Hr.
• Denham) proceeded to describe that about nine o'clock
the same night, the servant girl, Harriet Sewell, wax
stunt to a public•honse in the neighbourhood to order
cone beer. As she was absent longer than was con-
sider( d necessary for the purpose, ho went out to se"
what was the reason, and on passing through the front
garden he heard some person moaning hnavily, and on
going to the spot he bawd that it was the servant girl,
who was lying stretched on the grass. lie, with the
assist.:.:•ce of a gentleman who was staying in his boase
with his family, carried her in, and it was then dis•
covered that. she had a piece of cord tied firmly round
Ipr neck, and that strangulation must have soon taken
place if he had nut immediately severed the cord. As
is w,o,S, however, she was black in the faee, her tongue
protruded, and froth was issuing from her mouth,
and she was in a state of tt.sensibility. A medical man
was sent for, and the recess-ay stimulants having been
resorted to, the patient 'o'ne limo afterwards recovered
sufficiently to be enabled to describe the eircumstancs
connected with bar having been founrl in the situati.un
abive mentioned. Her statement was, that on the night
in question, as she was crossing the front gardop4-,i go..
for the beer, she was suddenly seized by two men, and
that while one held her and stopped her mouth from

Mr. A'BECKETT consented to give the prisoner up to
her friends on her father entering into sureties for her
good behaviour, and on her promise not to repeat such
conduct again; and the Magistrate added that the super-
intendent (Haynes) acted very properly in investigating
the circumstances when they were first brought under
his notice, and which led to the discovery of the extra-
ordinary conduct of the prisoner in the matter.
