IYZISCELLANEOUS.

A large meetiniwas—hTklitCoveniriT:iii Monday, for the
purpose of expressing its deep sense of the injustice involved
in the late trial of Daniel O'Connell and others, for conspi-
racy, believing, that both as to the principle on which it was
founded, and the manner in which it was conducted, is was a
violation of the constitutional liberties of the people of this
realm. Mr. O'Connell was present on the occasion, and was
received with the most rapturous applause. Resolutions in
accordance with the object of the meeting were unanimously
adopted. Want of space compels us to postpone the report
of the proceedings.
An Anti league Meeting-was held at Aberdeen on Friday,
the 15th inst., when a number of country gentlemen made
speeches and voted resolutions against the free-traders.

Railway—the whole route—willibe made on Monday next.

almost unknown to the generality of Dublin citizens.

SINGLE V. GLUMER.
This astion was brought by the plaintiff, an auctioneer and
surveyor, to recover from the defendant, a builder, residing
near Blackheath -hill, the sum of 71.185. 6d., expenses incurred
in the sale in June, 1843, of a house, formerly the property of
the defendant, who was employed to dispose of it by auction.
A bill was produced in Court specifying various expenses
incurred by the plaintiff, on behalf of the defendant, amount-
ing to 4/. 10s., which the defendant, by his solicitor, contended
was the real amount in which he was indebted to the plaintiff,
no further work having been done, and consequently no further
which the bill was sent specifying the above
amount, expenses incurred. The plaintiff, however, contended that
, contained other inclosures containing the
full amount claimed, which, as it was not attached to the
other bill, was not produced in Court.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE

- -
• BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)
Two boys, named Ford and Fitzgerald, were sentenced to
fourteen days' imprisonment each, for stealing coals from the
wharfs along the Adelphi.
It appears that great complaints have been made by the
wharfingers of the depredations committed by boys. They
-go down-to the vessels which are laden with coals, and, under
the pretence of playing about the barges, kick from time to
time pieces of coal into the water. As soon as the tide re-
cedes their gambols cease, and their labours commence,
each being provided with a bag, in which they deposit the
coals they find in the mud. The persons in charge of the
barges state that they lose several tons of coal weekly in
this manner.

UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Stiff and John Peacock, two young "sprigs of
fashion," with riding whips and spurs, were charged with
being drunk and furiously riding along the streets.
The defendants, it appeared, had been at the London
Docks, " tasting" wines, on leaving which they got on horse-
back, when one of them (Stiff) in riding along East-cheap,
was thrown into the road. He was picked up, and having
re-mounted his steed, they both galloped over London-
bridge, and when they got to St. George's Church, Stiff was
thrown off again and stunned, and the policeman, seeing
they were both under the influence of liquor and very abusive,
took them into custody.
Mr. TRAILL said that Stiff had been before him on three
other occasions for furiously riding in the streets. He fre-
quently had observed him gallopping along the town to the
danger of the passengers. •
Stiff said that he lived on his property, and that he
" tasted" rather too much wine at. the London Docks ; that
his horse shied, and that was the way the accident happened.
The other defendant said he would not visit the London
Docks again for some time.
Mr. num. held Stiff to bail to keep the peace ; and the
other defendant was held in his recognisance to be of good
behaviour.

Amelia Grant, a young woman, was charged with at-
tenipting to commit suicide. "
The defendant was supported by some of the Thames-
police into the Com t.
From the evidence of two men; named Weller and Duncan,
bargemen, it appeared that about four o'clock this morning
they were aroused from sleep on board their barge, lying near
Waterloo-bridge, on hearing cries of "a woman in the
water," and had just time to jump into a boat alongside,
when they rescued the defendant from drowning. It ap-
peared that she had jumped off the bridge, and was seen by
two gentlemen who were at some distance from the spot from
whence she precipitated herself.
Mr. TRAILL said the bargemen deserved the rewards from
the Humane Society. He then held the defendant to bail,
herself in4ol. and two sureties of 201., and in default com-
mitted her to the county gaol.

DEATH FROM OVER-EXERTION.—Last evening, at
a late hour, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the White Lion,
High-street, Shadwell, on the body of Mathew Brady, aged
forty-six. It appeared by the evidence that deceased was a
ballast-heaver, and on Friday morning, after partaking of a
hearty breakfast, he proceeded, in company with his brother,
to St. Katharine's-docks, where he was employed for several
hours in loading a vessel with 40 tons of ballast. On his
return hame he complained of sickness, accompanied with
violent pains in his stomach. Mr. Arthur, a surgeon, was
sent for, but deceased expired on the following morning,
Mr. Arthur attributed his death to a rupture of the intestines,
induced by the severity of his exertions in the way of his
business.—Verdict,." Natural death."
