was done by a contederate.
Mr. ILtauwica.—You must have made some mistake,
nod, unknowingly, put your pure in your right-hand
poi ket instead t f the left.
The prosecutor persisted in stating that he was correct
in his statement, and the reason he so frequently felt in
his pocket was because he hail heard that many people
110,1 been robbed while riding in an omnibus.
The defendant, in indignant terms, denied the charge,
and called about a &sten gentlemen, amongs=t whom were
Mr. Walter, of Great Metfylebone-street, and Mr.
Walter, of Goswell-street (brothers of the defendant),
the former of whom stated that, last night, his brother
(the defendant) called at his house to fetch two young
ladies who had teen spending the eve uing with him.
Defendant subsequently went, to sup with a gentleman
at Kensington, and on his return the present unfortunate
circumstance occurred.
The other gentleman said it was impossible for the
defendants to commit such an offence as that ho was ac-
cused of. The complainant must be labouring under
some mistake.
Mr. 11ARDwrcK, from what he had heard, thought the
sta!ement of the prosecutor highly improbable.
The complainant said he was not willing to press the
charge further.
Mr. HARDWICK said the prisoner no doubt must feel
exceedingly obliged to you for such an offer, after un-
dergoing the indignity and inconvenience of beirg lucked
up in the station-house all night. I should advise you
to make such an apology or recompense as it is in your
power to do. The defendant is discharged, and leaves
this court without the slightest imputation upon his cha-
racter.
The prosecutor tendered an apology to the defendant,
but by the advice of his friends it was not accepted.

EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION
OF ORPHAN CHILDREN.
From the returns of the Board of Trade pre-
sented to Parliament, it appears that for the ten
months ending sth of November, 1849, there were
imported from foreign countries to the United King-
dom the following quantities of flax and tow, or cor-
dilla of hemp and flax 1,553,472 cwts. ; flax seed and
linseed, 437,131 quarters; and oil-seed cakes, 43,955
tons. If in a proportionate quantity for the following
two months, that is one-fifth to the above, the quan-
tities for the year will be as follows :—hemp and flax,
1 864,166 cwts. ; flex seed and linseed 524,557 qrs.
Oil-seed cake 52,746 tons. If these various products
from land sown to flax had been produced in this
country they would have given constant employment to
above '220,000 boys and girls, or about 20 in every
parish in England. A school of industry, therefore,
might be established in every parish for twenty chil-
dren, to cultivate flax, in addition to all the flax now
grown in England, Ireland, and Scotland, without
exhausting the demand for these articles in our own
market. Why then, it may be asked, is not flax
grown to a greater extent than it has hitherto been
in this country ? The reasons are-Ist. Under a
mistaken notion that flax is an exhausting crop
to the land, there is a clause in many of the old
leases prohibiting the tenant from growing it. After
potatoes, flax almost always grows in perfection, par-
ticularly on light loarns, on clay, and on chalky soils.
It is sown in the latter end of March or beginning of
April, and pulled in July or early in August. This
al,o ws full time to prepare the land for an early sow-
ing of wheat, and wheat is more certain after flax
than after any other spring crop. If the linseed is
consumed by cattle on the land, and the flax also
worked out, leaving the refuse on the land, only a
very small proportion of the crop, viz , the fibre, is
taken from the soil, and it needs not, therefore, be an
exhausting crop. 2. Heretofore the flax has been
fermented in pits in order to separate with ease the
fibre from the woody parts of the stem. This fer-
mentation in pits caused a very unpleasant smell
which led the landlords and farmers to discourage
the growth. On the new plan no such pitting is
necessary, and there is therefore no smell occasioned
by the process of fitting the flax for market. 3.
Whilst corn fetched a high price the farmer had no
inducement to let his land for a flax crop, or to put
himself to the trouble and expense of pursuing a branch
of manufacture to which he was not accustomed.
Nor can he be expected to do it now at his own risk.
If done at all it must be undertaken at first by
persons who see the importance of combining their
energies to confer a great advantage on those who
ure at present ill-trained, if not wholly neglected, in
almost all the agricultural districts of the country. A
successful example only is wanting to lead to a gene-
ral and most beneficial change in this respect all over
England. In the three counties of Dorset, Somerset,
and Wilts, there are 115 public charities. In 1818
the proportion of paupers in Somersetshire was as one
to every three houses. In Wiltshire, one to every
two houses. In Dorsetshire, the same. In the same
year the amount paid for poor's rates was as follows :
--Wiltshire, 274,2641. 103. (Id., Dorset, 129,2211.

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—On Saturday next, being St.
Matthew's-day, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs,
with the governors of the several royal hospitals, will attend
Divine service at Christ Church, Newgate-street, where a
sermon will be preached by the Rev. Joseph Harris, M.A.,
of Pembroke College, Cambridge, assistant-master of the
City of London School. After which they will repair to the
Great Hall, in Christ's Hospital, where four orations, on the
benefits of the royal hospitals, will be delivered, according
to annual custom, by four of the senior scholars :—ln Latin,
by Alfred Sweeting ; in English, by C. S. D.
GTownsheWnd; in
Greek, by H. C. P. Jones; in French, by
. . Brown.
Six poems will also be recited by others of the senior scholars,
viz., a Latin Alcaic ode, on Westminster Abbey, by H. B.
Parkin; a translation of Prince Henry's Apology, and the
King's Reply, from Shakspere, into Greek lambi
G. cs, by

Gill; Latin Sapphics, on Boadicea, by
J. Gau ;
Latin Elegiacs, on the Death of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, by R. A. Lloyd ; Greek Sapphics, on
Hannibal at the Altar, by 11. D. Sweeting; and a translation
of the Apostrophe to Philosophy, from Thomson's Seasons,
into Latin Hexameters, by C. G. Bell.
FlRE.—This' morning, shortly before six, a fire
broke out on the premises occupied by Mr. Corbett, a dealer
in pictures, 115, Long-acre. Messengers were immediately
dispatched to the va, ious stations of the London Fire Brigade,
whose engines were shortly after in attendance. The flames
were confined to the premises in which they originated. The
cause of the fire is unknown.
GuousE.—These birds are this season somewhat
more plentiful than usual on the heath lands around here, a
gentleman having informed us that he has bagged several
very fine birds in the neighbourhood of Parkstone.—Poole
_Herald.
EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—On Sunday afternoon
a chill, of about three years of age, of the name of Boland,
residing in Commercial-road, Glasgow, having been left ia
bed during the absence of its parents for a short time, got
out, and managed by some means or other to get outside the
window, which is three stories in height, and was hanging
by the hands, when the father and mother fortunately came
in sight, and had the presence of mind to spread out a shawl
under the window, holding it by the corners at some distance
from the ground. The child fell into it, and, strange to say,
escaped without having sustained the slightest injury. North

DEATEI OF SIR GEORGE HAMILTON.--We regret
to state that Sir George Hamilton, Minister Plenipoten-
tiary of Great Britain in Tuscany, died at Florence on the

A
WARNING TO RATE-PAYERS:An old woman,
in a parish near Caine, who had been receiving parish relief
for forty years, hasjust been discovered to have hoarded up
1751. in cash, which she kept concealed in her room. On
further inquiry, it was found that she also possessed 4001. in
the savings banks.
STATISTICS OF RUSSIA.--The European provinces
of Russ,a cover an area of 99,489 square miles; Transcau-
casia, 2,825 ,• Siberia, 208,601) ; the Steppes of Kirgis
30,000; the Islands, 1,100 ; American Colonies, 17,500 ;
making a total of 359,5 A square miles. Reden, the geo-
grapher, calculates that the number of inhabitants of these
vast countries annunts to 60,000,600, and among them
50,000,000 Sclayonians and 4,331,000 Poles. The census of
1763, according to Schlozer and Storch, showed a popula-
tion of but 20,000,C00 ; that of 1782 showed an increase
of' 6,000,000 ; and the census of 1835 reached
figure of 55,000,000. In the European provinces of Russia
the population averages 6 9 on a square mile. The most
populated districts are those of the central provinces, where
one square mile contains about 2,000 inhabitants. The mini-
mum of population exists in the Governieent of Archangel,
where a square mile is inhabited by sixteen people. Of
Russian subjects there are 50,552,000 (88 per cent. of the
population of Russia) belonging to the Greek religion,
6,744,145 are Roman Catholics, 3,409,330 are. Protestants,
1,601 767 Jews, and 566,320 Mohametans. 'The rest of the
inhabitants belong to various sects, or they are considered as
temporary residents and foreigners. 154 periodicals are pub-
lished in Russia.—viz., 168 in Russian, 29 in German, Bin
French, 1 in Italian, 5 in the Polish, and 3 iu the old Lettish
language.—Kolner Zeitung.
A story is told of Sully, the painter, a man dis-
tinguished for refinement of manners as well as success in
art. At a party one evening, Sully was speaking of a belle
who was a great favourite. " Ah," says Sully, " she has a
mouth like an elephant." Mr. Sully 1 how can you
be so rude?" " Rude, ladies ! rude! what do you mean? I
say she has got a mouth like an elephant, because it is full of
ivory."
THE ITAnvE.i.,T IN FIFE.—The weather has been
exceedingly dry and fine for the last ten days, and harvest
operations have gone on uninterruptedly. The crop is almost
all cut down in the lower districts, and fully three. fourths of
the whole crop over the country is already secured in excel-
lent condition. Wheat is giving very general satisfaction,
and it is no doubt much the best crop we have. The early
barley, we have been told, is threshing well out, and the ap-
pearance and quality of the grain are uncommonly fine. The
oat crop is much complained of, and in some districts the
quality has not been so inferior for years. Oa good land, in
some instances, the weight per bushel is as low as 351b5., and
the sample has more resemblance to fore gii oats than the
usual plump arid rounded pickle. The rains which fell in the
east of last month were quickly dried up by the winds which
fol'owed, and turnips are now generally suffering much from
want at moisture. If there is not
twatg of IN eather in the
I out such a full one as former appearances led us to expect.—
cow se of eight days, we suspect this crop will not turn
Scotsman.
ERRATUM —The word "engines a' Was inadvertently
used yesterday instead of " cylinders" in the description of
