CLERKENWELL.

Mr. Edward ridden was summoned to answer the
complaint of Mr. Macey, superintendent of the G divi-
sion of police, for having knowingly let a house inCum-
berland-row, Battle-bridge, St. Pancras, for the purpose
of unlicensed theatrical entertainments.

Mr. Wilkins, the barrister, appeared for the defendant.
The summons was laid under the Police Act, which
subjects the party so offending to a penalty of 20L It
u ill be recollected that on the night of the 28th ult., the
audience and actors at this wretched exhibition, consist-
ing of more than 80 persons, were captured by the police,
and brought before the sitting Magistrate at this Court
on the following morning. On their examination, it
clearly appeared that the place was the constant resort
of the lowest characters, and as the Magistrate properly
termed it, " a school of vice."

Mr. Wilkins, in extenuation of his client's guilt,
pleaded his ignorance of the law. _

- Mr. GREEN WOOD fined the defendant 41.
iVillia►rc Charles Pellut was charged with threatening
to murder his mother.

The complainant is a decent and most industrious
poor widow, carrying on business as an egg dealer in
Bloomsbury- market. Her affection for the prisoner
verifies the expression of Washington Irving—" there is
an enduring tenderness in a mother's love for a son,
which surpasses every other affection of the human
heart." Ever since the prisoner become an adult he has
never ceased from plundering and maltreating his
parent. He has been frequently brought before this
Court and Hatton-garden, charged with robbing or ill-
using his mother. On one occasion he was sent to the
House of Correction for three months, during which
time the affectionate mother was the chief support of the
prisoner's wife. On another occasion he was sent for
trial, but the mother's tenderness so far overcame her
judgment on the trial, as to occasion his acquittal. Not
in the least affected by his mother's fondness, he became
on his liberation more cruel and depraved than before.
The threat having been fully proved,
Mr. GREENWOOD, after commenting on the brutality
of his conduct, required him to find bail, which not being
forthcoming, the prisoner was committed to the House
of Correction.

A man named Jones, was charged with an assault of a very
violent and unprovoked character, on the person of Mr. Night-
ingale, a lodging-house keeper, in Saffron-lull.
Mr. Nightingale was sitting quietly in his parlour on the
previous night, when he heard a great noise in front of the
house ; he ran out, but had not advanced more than a few
paces into his own passage, when he was met by the prisoner,
who struck him a violent blow on the face. He had never
seen the prisoner before, and had not given him the least
provocation. His face was greatly swollen from the blow.
He cried out " police," and a constable came to his assistance.
The prisoner was in liquor.
Police-constable Ware confirmed Mr. Nightingale's testi-
mony, and added that the prisoner's language, when in cus-
tody, was of a most violent and disgusting character.
Waddington, the jailor, said the prisoner was a coster-
monger, and a fellow of very bad character.
Mr. GREENWOOD said the assault was violent, and altoge-
ther unprovoked. He would fine the prisoner 30s.
Prisoner—l have not a farthing.
Mr. GREENwoon—Then you must go to the House of
Correction for a month.

MR. PAKENHAM AND THE
OREGON QUESTION.

(From a New York paper.)
A reproachful expression uttered by a scurrilous
paper in this city, to the effect that the Pakenham
family might find another New Orleans in the Oregon
question, has created universal disgust among all the
respectable portion of the community, and meets
with approbation nowhere. Even if it were true that
Major-General Pakenham, who commanded at New
Orleans, had tarnished the honourable name which he
bore, it would be the most ungentlemanly meanness to
quote that fact in connexion with the name of the
Right Hon. Richard Pakenham, the newly-arrived Mi-
nister from England. The doctrine that one man is re-
sponsible for the sins of another, merely because he
bears the same name, or is connected with the same
family, is at least not a republican doctrine. But, so far
as we know, the only reproach which rests upon the
memory of Major -General Pakenham is, that he bravely
fell in an unsuccessful conflict, while in the discharge
of his duty to his country. So did General Montgomery
at Quebec. Yet we rank Montgomery among our list of
heroes, and his memory is embalmed in the hearts of his
countrymen.
It is some comfort to be able to say, that the editor
who put forth the disgraceful taunt above alluded to is
not an American, and shares little in the feelings of
the American people. In every point of view, Mr.
Richard Pakenham is entitled to the highest considera-
tion and respect. To say nothing of his private vir•
toes, or his personal merits, he is the representative of
the most powerful nation on earth, and comes on an em-
bassy of peace. He comes in the hope of effecting the
adjustment of the only question between his country
and our own which is liable in any way to inter-
rupt our friendly relations. It is at least as desirable
to us as to England that this question should be settled
without delay. In sending her minister here for the
purpose, she has manifested a generous confidence,
as well as a disposition to preserve the good under-
standing which now happily exists. We trust the
overture will be met in the spirit which prompted it.
The question is surrounded with difficulties, and it is not
easy to see how it is to be adjusted to mutual satisfaction.
One party or the other, or more probably both, must
make large concessions before they can meet. We claim
to the 54th degree of latitude ; England to the 49th
and how much further we know not—perhaps to the
Columbia river. We take it for granted, now that the
negotiation is, or is soon to be, commenced, that the
subject will be dropped on the floor of Congress. That
it ought to be, is in effect admitted by the Washington
Globe, which a few days since remarked as follows:
" Mr. Pakenham, we hear, is expected daily from Eng-
land, and 'it is supposed that he will bring with him
powers to treat on this subject. After his arrival, and
pending an actual negotiation, it might be considered
indecorous to the Power with whom we were in treaty
to interfere by debate or otherwise. But now, before
any negotiation is commenced, while we are still un-
committed, itr is most desirable that we should have
some expression of public sentiment, especially from the
popular branch, in regard to a matter so vitally im-
portant as the question whether or not we shall cede, by
treaty, to a nation noted for her encroaching spirit, a
district of territory containing not millions only, but
hundreds of millions of acres. We have already offered,
during the negotiation of 1826, to cede to Great Britain
upwards of 100,000,000 acres, the northern portion of
the territory of Oregon, and even that far too liberal
concession Great Britain refused. Before we make
oilers still further comprising the national honour, still
further curtailing the national territory, we wish to hear
the representatives of the people speak out."
