shop breaking and larceny, and 1 for feloniously return-
ing from transportation.
The grand jury having been empannelled and sworn,
The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge to
them. He had no doubt that the gentlmen who formed
the present grand jury were sufficiently experienced in
the duties they were celled upon to perform to render it
unnecessary for him tet dwell upon them. They
were called together for the protection of the
subjects of the Queen from unfounded charges,
and unnecessary punishment and delay. The institution
for which they were constituted in that box was one of
the great bulwarks of the liberty of the subject, and one
that was entitled to the greatest respect and considera-
tion, and whatever opinions might be entertained with
respect to the value of grand juries, whatever difference
there might be in that respect, this at least was clear,
that it was a great privilege that persons of every grade
in society might be called from time to time together to
prevent their fellows-subjects from being charged, and
unnecessarily subjected to trial in a criminal court. He
was happy to congratulate the grand jury tthe
hat
there was nothing in the appearance of
present calendar that e ould require from
him any spacial remark, and he was happy also to add
that from the information he had received from the
officers of the court, that, as compared with this time
let year, crime was not on the increase, but had
diminished, The opportunity he had had of running
over the depositions, as welhags the nature of
a enabled
him to state that there was none of any peculiar
atrocity, or which called for any special (direc-
tions to the grand jury from him. There had, 1,0
doubt, of late been notoriously considerable alarm
excited its the public mind at the different
burglaries, attended with violence, that had lately taken
place, these events had been strongly commented upon,
and had alarmed the public mind, but he was happy to
say that the present calendar did not disclose any case
to justify that alarm. The cases that had principally
caused alarm were not within the jurisdiction of tat,
Court, and had occurred in districts to which the effi-
cient exertions of the inetropitlitan police did not ex-
tend; :and for his own part he believed that the com-
mittal of such crimes might be attributed to the want
of a proper organiz Laub of a force to de-
tect and prevent crime in those districts to
which the jurisdiction of the police did net ext--nd.
There had, however, occurred cases within the jurisdic-
tion of that court which bad caused some alarm, aid
which called for increased r xertions on the part of the
police to put down. In cases like these it became the
duty of the officers of justice to attend most vigilantly to
the security of the poorer classes, as they had trot such
remedies in their power to prevent the intrusion
into their dwellings of the burglar as the rich had.
As to the rich, they had the means in their
own hands, because they had always a great
number of inmates in their dwellings, and had the power
of having their houses amply secured. In the case to
which he was alluding he could not but express the gra-
tification he felt at the course adopted by the inmates
who were left in possession of the property; it was richly
deserving of praise, and required only to be imitated to
put an end to the crime of burglary altogether, for never
was there a greater truism than that crime and cowardice
went hand in hand. With respect to the other cases in
the calendar, there were oily three he considered re
quired any special notice from him. The first
was the case of a foreigner who was charged
witk forging and uttering a true security of
a foreign country, namely, notes upon the
Austrian Government. Now, with respect to that case,
all he need say was that such forgeries by Act of Par-
liament were placed upon the same footing as forgeries
upon any bank or firm in this country. The grand
jury would, therefore, have no trouble in that respect.
The two other cases were charges in which two human
beings had been deprived of life. The first was the case
of an unhappy young woman causing the death of her
child, and the other the death of a party caused by the
ill usage of the police officers in attempting to
take him into custody. In the first case the
grand jury were bound, before they returned a true bill
either for murder or manslaughter, to c uisider well the
evidence, in order to ascertain whether the death had
been caused by accident or design; and in the latter case
the jury must bear in mind that no officer was allowed
by law to use more violence in endeavouring to capture
an individual than was absolutely necessary. It would
be for the grand jury to say. after hearing the evidence,
whether they considered that undue violence had been
used, and it they thought there had it would be their
duty to put the case in a train fur further investigation.
Tne Learned Judge then remitted the grand jury to the
discharge of their duties, and the Court proceeded to
swear the petty jury.

(SURREY SESSIONS.—THIS DAY.) '
The adjourned quarter sessions for the county of
Surrey commenced this morning, at the Court, House,
Newington causeway, before Thomas Puckle, Esq., and
full' bench of magistra'es.
The calendar contained the names of forty-eight
prisoners.
The grand jury having been sworn, the Chairman ad-
dressed th-in as to the nature of their duties.
James Stroud, 23, was indicted for stealing, at Ber-
mohdsey a watch, pair of stocking,, and other properly,
belonging to William Farning.
The prosecutor, a young man in !.he employ of a but-
cher at Bermondsey, said, that the prisoner was a'so in
the same service prior to the 17th of September, and
slept in the same room with him. On that day he ab-
sconded, when witness found that his box had bet n
broken open, and that his watch and other articles had
been stolen.
Mary Pearch, a lodging-house keeper in the City-
road, said the prisoner formerly lodged at her house.
and on the night of the 17th ult. he came to her and
handed her an old-fashioned silver watch to take care
of. He slept there that. night, and on the following
morning he went away, but returned shortly afterwards
for the watch. A few days after that she received
information of the robbery, and as soon as the prisoner
came to her again she sent for a policeman ands gave
him into custody. Witness produeetl a pair of tocings which he left with her, and were identified by the
pr.secutor.
In defence the prisoner denied all knowledv,e of the
robbery, and said what the ftmale C
stated was false.

IVIARLBIIO'STREET.-(T HIS DAY.)
A FOOLISH WOMAN.— Harriet Bowler, toe wile of. a
cabman, was placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged.
~ith
attempting to commit suicide by throwi,lg herselt into
the Serpentine, Hyde-park.
John Parsons, a boatman in the employ of the Royal
Humane Society, stated that on Saturday evening, abt.ut
six o'clock, he was standing by the bolt-house on the
north side of the S. rpentiue, when he saw the defendant
rush from amonst several persons and throw herst.lt
into the water, which ay. that place is about three fret
deep. lie immediately went to her assistance, but be-
fore he could get to her a gentleman had jumped to and
pulled her out. She was then Olen into the receiving-
house, and subsequently to Sr. Ge rg,e's workhouse.
In reply to the charge, the defendant said she was
driven to attempt suicide by the ill-treatment sbe had
received from her husband.
The prisoner's. husband, a respectable-looking man,
denied this, and said he always had treated her with
the greatest kindness, and allowed her "30s. per week"for

household expenses. She was of a most violent temper,
and had repeatedly threatened to do him some serious
injury. Oar Saturday last he was obliged to take her to
Clerkenwell Police.court, when she was bound over to
keep the peace towards him, and he agreed to give her
ss. per week, and paid her a week in advance. She no
sooner received this money than she called a cab, and
drove directly to the Serpentine.
HARDwicK severely lectured the prisoner on her
foolish conduct, and on her promising not to repeat it he
discharged her.

WESTMIN STE t.-(THISi DAY.)
James Miller and George Preston were charged under
the following circumstances :
Po!ice-constable 190 B, from information he received,
went last night into No. 4, Gardnßea-buildings, and,
looking over the wall into No. 5, he saw the prisoners
emptying a cesspool into a pit which they had dug in the
garden. They had been so careless that the street was
in a most boastly state, and the nuisance to the inhibit-
ants of the neighbourhood was intolerable. He got over
the wall to take them iht.) custody, when one of thi:m
ran out of the front door and the other tot up a chim-
ney. Both of th, m wore, however, eventually secured.
The prisoners said they were in ov..reni,-, poverty, and
were glad to do anything to .zet st shilinug.
Mr. PAINTER he could no: allow them to ritk
the lives et others for that purpose. He should there-
fore order them each to pay a fine of 20s. or be impri-
soned for three weeks.

FUNERAL OF THE QUEEN OF THE
BELGIANS.
(From Galignani's Messenger.)
The remains of this illustrious and amiable per-
sonage were on Friday confided to their last resting-
place. Before ten o'clock the Ministers, the Presidents
of the Chambers, the corps diplonudique, the first ,
pre-
sidents and procureurs- general of the Courts of
Cessation and Appeal, the Mies and gentlemen of
the King's household, and a long list of senators,
representatives, public functionaries, and eminent per-
sonages, were assembled. The church was hung with
black. Four colonels stood at the corners of the cof-
fin with drawn swords, and around them were twenty
old non-commissioned officers, who had been selected
to bear the.coffin to the vault.
At a quarter to eleven o'clock the cannon announced
the departure of the King and the Royal Family from
the château of Laeken. They were received with
marks of the greatest respect by the crowd which had
assembled, and the Civic Guard, who formed a line
from the chLeau, presented arms. The Cardinal Arch-
bishop of Malines, and the clergy received the King at
the entrance to the church. The Cardinal addressed
a few observations to the King, but his Majesty could
only reply by tears. The King entered first with
Queen Ainelie leaning on his arm. He was so affected
that he could scarcely walk. On passing the cata-
falque, his_Majesty was observed to stagger, as if over-
whelmed with emotion, and the Queen addressed. some
observations to him, and took his arm in hers to
support him. This incident excited a most painful
sensation. The King's sons, the Duke de Brabant
and the C irate de Flandre, accompanied by the
Princess Clementine followed, and then came the
Duke de Nemours, who seemed profoundly
afft cted, the Prince de Joinville, who was paler than
usual, the Duke d'Aumale, and the Prince Augustus
of Saxe Coburg Gotha. The Royal party was en-
comia Allied by the Duke de Cazes, General de St.
Yon (Minister of War under Louis Philippe), De la
Rue (formerly director of Algerian affairs at the
Ministry of War), de Montesqaiou and d'Houdetot,
the Dukes de Meunier and de l'revise, &c.
The funeral service then commenced, and lasted for
about an hour. The voice of the Cardinal who offici-
ated was frequently broken by emotion, and all per-
sons in the church were in tears. When the venerable
Prelate turned to bless the congregation, subdued
sobs broke the solemn silence. On the conclusion of
the requiem, the King and Royal Family retired. The
non-commissioned officers then removed the coffin to
the vault, the Cardinal casting holy water upon it, and
throwing on it a handful of dust, saying, "Dust thou
art, and unto dust shalt thou return." The coffin
having been duly deposited, the vault was closed, and
lossthe
of the sn d ceremony terminated.
