CLERKENWELL

Two young man, named Russell and Payne, were charged
with endeavouring to commit the following imposture :
On the previous evening the prisoners went into the beer-
shop of Mr. Abourne, in Cross-street, Islington and called
for a pint of half-and-half. The liquor was supplied to them,
and, as payment for it, they handed the potman a yellowish
piece of metal, having the appearance of a sovereign, but
which, on inspection, turned out to be one of those little gilt
medals sold in the streets at a penny each. The prisoners
repeatedly affirmed that it was a sovereign, and demanded
19s. 9d. as their change. They were given into custody.
The prisoner Payne made a desperate resistance, but was even-
tually secured.
Sergeant Pagan said that Russell was a very bad character.
The prisoners were in liquor on the previous evening, and
each of them had eightpence in coppers on his person, with
which the porter might have been paid for.
The prisoners were held to bail.
Two young women of very miserable appearance named
Selina Harrison and Sarah Carter, were charged with robbing
ready-furnished lodgings of bed, bed-clothes, and other
articles value 31., the property of Mrs. Pinnock, 12, Mount
Pleasant, Gray's Inn-lane. The prisoners are boot-spring-
makers ; they took a single room from Mrs. Pinnock in De-
cember, and on Monday she discovered that they had pawned
everything in the room. The bed had been pledged in the
beginning of January, so that the unfortunate creatures had
nothing to lie upon but the boards since then. The officer,
Philips, saw nothing in the room but a dirty sheet, a piece
of a blanket, and two chairs, but no food.
The prisoners who cried bitterly, admitted having pawned
the articles, but declared they were driven to do so by des-
titution.
The landlady said all she wanted was to get back her pro-
pertv. She had no desire to punish them.
The prisoners were remanded to give them an opportunity
of coming to an arrangement with the prosecutrix.
Mr. Philip John, a surgeon, .residing in St. John-street,
was summoned to answer the complaint of Mrs. Murket, the
wife of a foreigner, living in St. John's-lanes for an assault.
The complainant deposed that on Saturday last she
answered a knock at her door, and the defendant asked if her
husband was at home ; she replied in the negative, upon
which he pushed by her, and set himself, unasked, down
upon a chair in the kitchen, saying he would wait until Mr.
Murket returned. She directed him to go away, saying it
was not a fit thing for him to stay in the same room with a
lone young woman ; he refused ; she said she would send for
a policeman ; but, as he still persisted in remaining, she
seized the chair for the purpose of dragging it away from him,
when he caught her by the throat, and flung her over towards
the other side of the room, and this he did five or six times,
so that her breast was covered with bruises, and her little
child frightened almost to death. A portrait-painter in the
next room, hearing her screams, rushed in and interfered.
The doctor said, the fact was, he had obtained an order for
the payment of 165., in the Court of Requests, against Mr.
Murket, and it was to serve this upon him that he went to
the house: He had been a long time kept out of his money,
which was for professional attendance. He did not strike the
complainant, but she struck him, and tore his coat in flitters ;
he firmly believed her husband was concealed in a closet the
entire time.
Mr. COMBE advised Mrs. Murket •to pay her doctor's bill.
It too often happened that tenants and other debtors, instead
r
of paying the lawful demands upon them, sought a pretext f
going to law and injuring their creditors. He would dismiss
the summons.

THE MARINERS and GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY.
Expressly established for Insurances on the Lives of Mariners,
(whether members of the Royal or Mercantile Navy) and Military
officers.—lt is to he noted that the Policies of this Company will
cover voyages of every description and service in every part o f the
globe.
The LiVes of Fishermen and Boatmen also insured.
High rates of premium have hitherto operated against this kind of
Assurance, but as the scale now adopted will be found as low as is
consonant with the risk, it is believed that this fact, coupled with
other advantaaes, will Induce a great increase of insurers.
• Deferred Annuities to Mariners granted upon very moderate
Premiums. .
The Premiums for General Assurances are based upon a new ad-
justed table of mortality.
Ten pound per cent. of the profits to be applied in making a prbvi-
sion for destitute and disabled Mariners.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
Established by Act of Parliament in 1834.
DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most
perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCOME being UPWARDS of 60,000/.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1834, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :
Sum Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added
Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured. Assured. to Policy.
£5OOO 6 yrs. 10 mths. £683 6 8 £5OOO 4 years £lOO
5000 6 years 600 0 0 5000 2 years 200
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.
Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident
Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 8,

MEN THOUSAND POUNDS REWARD !

This reward will be give by MOSE 3 and SON,
(Who have certain good: easons for what they've done,)
To any, applying, when once they have shown,
A warehouse whose articles rival our own.
We refer not alone to the City's small sphere,
But the whole of Great Britain's wide land, far and near.
Nay more! we will challenge the universe round.
And w!4enever the MOSES'S rivals are found,
Th • " Reward," above mentioned (don't misunderstand),
Will, without hesitation, be paid on demand;
Though " Ten 'Thousand Pounds be the sum that's at stake,
We are, certainly, far from beginning to quake !"
For we know that throughout the whole world there is none,
That can rival the warehouse of MOSES and SON."
Our Clothing, besides being best in the trade,
Is sold at such prices as never were paid.
We're choice" Taglioni's," with " lining right through,"
As low as " nine shillings"—what more can we do ?
We've beautiful " Chesterfields," made in first styl ,"
" Ten shillings and sixpence" (no wonder you smile)!
Our "strong Winter Trousers," which " warmly we line,"
" Four and sixpence" will buy ; and we've " doeskin" for nice."
" Three and Sixpence," a " Warm Winter Vest" will obtain,
And a " Dress Coat" (" well.edg'd") "twenty shillings" will gain.
For " Thirty-two shillings" we'll make one to measure,"
And the " very best," " Fifty-five shillings" with pleasure.
Our " Trousers to measure," you'll say are not dear,
For " Twenty-six shillings," we've " best Kerseyntere,"
And " doeskin to order" for " Ten" are made here.
We could mention a Thousand inch prices as these,
But that we will beg to deer, if you please.
One question we'd ask (for we've very good graunds),
After making our statements, which, doubtless, astounds,
What chance do you stand of your " Ten Thousand Pounds I,"
N.B.Any article purchased or ordered, if not approved et, ex.
changed, or the money returned.
CAUTIOTC—E. Moses and Son regret being obliged to guard the
public against imposition, as they learn that the untradesmanlike
falsehood of being connected with them, or it's the same concern,
has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons.
Tney have no connexion whatever with any other establishment,
and those who desire genuine Cheap Clothing should call or send to
151, .es, to guard against disappointment, &c.

SPEN CER'S CELEBRATED CHINESE
LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who are
had te pleasure of usin
Spencer's Chinese Liquid bilk Dye, pronounce ith to be the only Dye
extant which will effectuallYchange, in a few minutes, red or grey
hair to a dark brown or black, and it can be proved incontestibly
that it is the safest dye in its use that ever was prepared. Red or
grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, moustaches, &c., are changed without
trouble, by simply using a comb wetted with the liquid; one applica-
tion will produce a pleasing and a permanent change. The colour
it imparts to the hair can never be discovered to have been ef-
fected by dye, it being so perfectly natural, and neither washing, per-
spiration, or anything will in the least tads or affect the colour pro.
duced. Hundreds of ladies who wore faille hair, because their own
became grey, wear new their own. Also, thousands of gentlemen
who had grey or red whiskers, a hich was a great disfigurement, have
become quite dark from the use of ,PENCER'S CHINESE LI-
QUID HAIR DYE. Any lady or gentleman may dye their hair
with case and secresy in a few minutes. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 103.

Spectacle Lenses, &e., of the greatest transparent power. Imme-
diately these newly invented Spectacle Lenses are placed before ex-
tremely imperfect vision, either by day or candle-light, that mist and
dullness which appear before the eyes arc at once removed, every
object becomes clear and distinct, vision becomes preserved and
strengthened, and very aged people arc enabled to employ their
sight at the most minute occupati n, and can see with those Lenses
of a much less magnifying power, nor will they require the frequent
changes to further helps, as the Spectacles now in common use, so
that the most aged imperfect sight becomes bright and brilliant, and
is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state ; those objects
being accomplished is a matter of much deeper consequence than can
be imagined.

be observed.

111. SCALPEL'S ANATOMY of the PEERAGE ; forming a com-
plete History of the Peerage of the United Kingdom, for the Informa-
tion of its People.
The WEEKLY CHRONICLE is now printed on superior paper of
the largest size, containing more reading matter than any other Lon-
don weekly paper. Great care is bestowed on the condensation and
arrangement of its general news and Parliamentary intelligence, of
which it gives a much fhller and far more satisfactory summary than
any of its Contemporaries. And this it is enabled to do from the
principle on which its contents are selected and adjusted; for while
the Weekly Chronicle will be found to give due attention to literature,
science, the fine arts, the drama, and even to sporting intelli-
gence, so far as this latter can be said to interest the general
reader, neither sporting, nor any other feature of minor interest, are
allowed to supersede the proper objects of a newspaper—those sub-
jects of breathing, living import to the progress of society, and to the
well-being of the people throughout the whole length and breadth of
Home and Colonial England. The Weekly Chronicle is the advocate
of extended suffrage—of the ballot—of a shortened duration of Par-
liament—of free trade—of systematic colonisation—of the education
of the people on the principles of civil and religious liberty—of a re-
adjustment of the revenues of the Irish Church, and of other measures
of justice calculated to consolidate the union—of peace at home and
abroad—of a repeal of the odio income-tax, with a reduction of the
expenditure ; and not to extend the catalogue, it may be said that it
treats all other public questions in a kindred spirit and tone; whilst
its means of information may be judged from the fact that it was,
among other instances of early intelligence, the first to announce to
the world the visit of the Queen to France—the determination of the
Government to arrest O'Connell apd his friends—both which facts
were announced in the Weekly Chronicle for several days before they
were communicated to the Government press. The Weekly Chronicle
also announced recently the intended recal of Earl de Grey—a state-
ment which was contradicted at the time by the whole of the Go-
vernment press, but which the Weekly Chronicle never shrank from,
and which now passes unchallenged as a fact.
Arrangements have been made for bringing down the news con-
tained in the Weekly Chronicle to a much later date than asual, in
some instances anticipating the average of last year by a week ; and,
to effect this, every department of the paper has been scrupulously
revised and efficiently re-constructed. For the convenience of our
friends, the three following editions are published ; and, by attending
to these directions, the substitution of any other edition for the one
preferred, and for which the order should be distinctly given, may be
prevented :
I. An edition for exclusive circulation in the provinces on the Sa-
turday, marked " Country Edition."
2. An edition for circulation in London on the Saturday, and in the
country on the Sunday, marked " Town and Country Edition."
3. An edition for exclusive circulation in the metropolis and its en-
virons on the Sunday, marked " Town Edition."
The price is 6d., for which the Weekly Chronicle may be obtained
of all respectable newsvenders ; and by post, paid in advance, at a
subscription of 265. per annum, 13s. the half-year, and 6s. 6d. the

THE never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of
Gout and Rheumatism have secured to them a celebrity unequalled
by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give
relief in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to
madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but restore to
perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are
equally speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute,
lumbago, sciatica pains in the head or face, and indeed for every
rheumatic or gouty affection ; in fact, such has been the rapidity,
pei feet ease, and complete safety of this medicine, t hat it has asto-
nished all who have taken it, and there is not a city, town, or vil-
lage in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its
benign influence. The following recent case, selected from among
those with which the proprietor has been favoured, is submitted to
the public :

TO MR FROUT, t 29, STRAND.
Hurst, Sussex, Nov. 8, 1843.
Sir,—l have the pleasure to inform you that a person holding an
official situation, noticing in ono of my bills that I was agent for
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, was induced to try them ; he sent
for a box, and had only taken them one day before he found wonder-
ful relief. The second day he was akle to walk without his crutches,
and on the fourth day was completely cured and able to perform his
ordinary occupition.
Previous to this he was generally laid up every year for several
weeks, alter leeche- and fomentations had been applied, and medicine
taken to no purpose. I have cbtained the above statement from a
personal interview, and have sent this for publication if you think it
worthy, and shall be most happy at any time to satisfy any party
desirous of ascertaining its m
luathenticiri ty.,

DEAFNESS CURED.--u ARNICA MONTANA." - A
paper of considerable importance to sufferers from nervous
deafness was read on Saturday afternoon, by Dr. Cronin,
Craven-street, Strand, physician to the Free Dis-
pensary,arnica montana " in the cure of
on the efficacy of "
this distressing affection. The lecturer observed that deaf-
ness was more prevalent than was generally imagined—that
there was a marked difference between nervous derangement
and structural changes, and that he believed the frequent
failure of aurists in the cure of deafness arose from a total
inattention to the difference between disorders arising from
either mere torpor or increased irritability, and those to
which were superadded structural alterations. He next
called attention to the natural history, chemical constitution,
and medical properties of the arnica, observing that, having
found it highly beneficial in several distressing nervous af-
fections, he tried it in nervous Redness, and had much plea-
sure in alluding to the cases of several highly respectable per-
sons completely relieved by its use. Dr. Cronin then com-
mented on the mutilation practised by some aurists of re-
moving the uvula and glands of the throat, and remarked
that operations of this kind tended, from the shock produced
on the nervous sytem, to increase, rather than diminish, the
disease, and concluded some highly-interesting observations,
by stating that the College of Physicians omitted in their last
" Pharmacopoeia " this valuable remedy, but hoped it would
be restored in their next.—Standard. An abstract of the
lecture will shortly be published by Mr. Cronin.

This morning, about ten o'clock, they proceeded to the
Castle. Mr. Justice Coltman took his seat in the Crown
Court, and charged the grand jury; and Mr. Baron Rolfe
proceeded to the Nisi Prins side.
The business is remarkably light. On the civil side there
were only three causes, all of which were undefended, and
were disposed of in less than half an hour from the com-
mencement of business. The Learned Baron then rose, but
afterwards returned to Court, and tried two or three Mint
cases and a case of simple larceny.
The calendar contains a list of 17 cases, nearly all of the
ordinary kind usually tried at quarter-sessions, and nearly all
of which were disposed of before five o'clock. It would be no
difficult matter to finisk the whole in the day. Two or three
will, however, remain for to-morrow.
Nothing of interest, or indeed worth recording, occurred
during the day.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 20.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Jus-
tice TINDAL and a Special Jury.)
FRASER V. RAGI2EY.—CRIM. CON.

At the sitting of the Court on Tuesday the evidence on
the part of the plaintiff in this case was resumed. Its ten-
dency was to confirm the testimony of the witnesses examined
yesterday ; but no new facts were elicited beyond those given
in the testimony of the persons examined on behalf of the
plaintiff's case on the first day.
That evidence being concluded,
Mr. F. KELLY said that he should be able to prove that a
great deal of what his Learned Friend had been instructed
by the plaintiff to state, in his opening of the case, was
utterly false and unfounded; and he then proceeded to con-
tend, that under-none of the circumstances in this unfortu-
nate business had the plaintiff a right to come into this Court,
and ask for damages for the loss of his wife's society. Mr.
Fraser had been led by motives ofcupidity and avarice, to seek
a union with his unhappy and persecuted wife, passing, and re-
presenting himself as a man of fortune and substance, at a
time when, in point of fact, he had not a shilling which he could
call his own. The lady, at the time a widow, had 10,0001.
of her own, in addition to an annuity of 3001. from the East
India Company; 6,000/. of this money was previously to the
marriage with Mr. Fraser settled on herself, but the other
4,000/. he got possession of, and squandered in acts of extra-
vagance. He should prove that it was the money, and not
the lady, which the plaintiff sought in his union with her ;
and he should show that he led the life of a reckless and
abandoned man ; that he was never at home during the day,
or in the evening, except on Sundays, and on such occasions'
as he expected company ; and that often, while he was sup:
posed to be absent upon his professional avocations, he was
spending his substance on other persons. To talk of the
plaintiff's being deprived, of his wife's society by any act of
the defendant, was utterly absurd. He never had it, for he
was scarcely ever at home; and Mrs. Fraser was an object of
sympathy with all who knew her.
Shortly after six o'clock the case was again adjourned.

THE ANTI-LEAGUE.

It has long been a matter of regret to all who like to see things
well matched and fitted, that the " League " has not yet fallen
in with a respectable and suitable antagonist. That most pugna-
cious of knight.errants has too long been permitted to fling about
challenges before sympathetic audiences, and provoke the void air
to disputation. The desideratum, we now rejoice to say, is in a
fair way of being supplied. Yesterday witnessed the first actual
steps towards an Anti-League—a grand combination of numbers,
money, wisdom, and eloquence, competent to fight the League on
its own ground of popular agitation. As the new body has not yet
quite emerged from the alluvial mud and artificial compost in
which it has been engendered, it may, perhaps, be premature to an.
nounce positively its final organization, name, and functions. At
present it is known as an intended " Central Agricultural Protec-
tion Society." The object of this new creation is noble and com.
prehensive. One can hardly venture to say what it does not embrace.
It is nothing less than "to protect the most important interests
of the country," as we are informed on high legal authority;
and if the view seem a little narrowed when we find
in the second resolution that its object is to maintain
protection for British agriculture, at least equivalent to that at
present existing, we may rest assured this latter object is only a
means to an end. That some larger and more popular design is
intended than ever yet was conceived in the timid and bashful
bosom of agriculture may be inferred from the plans and the agents
now adopted. The " farmers' friend," the pride of yeomen, the
noble Chandos, is now but " the shadow of poor Buckingham"—
in fact, he is reduced to play the second fiddle to the more political
and economical Duke of Richmond. The subordinate agents also
appear to be of a rather more active and versatile class than the
dull Indigenous English farmer. A slight doubt hangs over their
real qualifications for the office; but this is covered by an im-
portant hint, that they will be abundantly supplied with the sinews
of war—to what exact extent, and from whom, it would of
course be impertinent to inquire. But something deeper
and darker remains to be told. Whether because there
happens to be a panic just now among political associa.
tions, or because there really is some wonderful scheme of
agricultural " repeal" in contemplation, certain it is this new
body suspects itself. It recoils from its own shadow. Frightened
by its consciousness of concentrated ability and intense determina.
Von, or perhaps at its own numbers, it has recourse to a lawyer to
assuage its terrors, and confesses to him its hidden fund of doubt.
ful intentions. But innocence, and we suppose a fee, is rewarded
with a kind paternal encouragement. The agriculturists are dis-
missed with a legal benediction, and the assurance, in which we
heartily concur, that they are likely to prove perfectly harmless.
Such a Fanionium of British agriculturists must be one of the
most interesting scenes that the poet or the painter could find in
this barren world. Doubtless there were present all those great
lords of the soil whose names are counties, and hundreds, and hills,
and dales ; round these Corinthian props of the cause were mustered
solid ranks of gentlemen and yeomen ; these " oplites" of the rural
army, as Mitford would call them, were flanked by a vast multitude
of sturdy labourers, with their wives and children; but in
the foremost rank, the strongest, the most affecting auxiliaries,
thousands of happy, peaceful old men and women, contented
cripples, comforted widows, and smiling orphans, pointing to
their sleek little bodies and decent raiment—all the undeniable
fruits of agricultural protection. With such a body of friends
and clients, the agriculturists need "not be ashamed when they
speak with their enemies in the gate." No fear, no misgiving,
no doubt of success, could by possibility mar the joy of so bright
and unanimous an assemblage. There is one only difficulty in
its way. What plain could be found large enough for so im-
mense a body ? All England from sea to sea is cultivated up to
the throat; not a heath, not a moor, not even a village common,
is left; Salisbury Plain is now turned up right to the very stones
of Stonehenge ; and to such admirable perfection and exactness is
the system of succession husbandry now carried, that there is
not even an acre of fallow to be found. So where—in what
new agricultural Runnymede—are the assembled millions
to vindicate the " most important interests in the coon.
try ?" Alas for the poet and historian! Alas for the
agriculturist ! There is no difficulty whatever. A zealous friend
comes up to town, and follows the stream—not to Hyde-park—not
to Lincoln's Inn-square--not even to the large room of Exeter.
hall, but—to Freemasons'.hall. There, there, packed and ticketed
in that snuggest of rooms, he finds a handful of farmers and non.
descripts—tenant.farmers, ho»orary farmers, and farmers by
courtesy. It is left to imagination to supply the rapturous ap-
plauses of the full.fed labourers, and the extatic satisfactions of the
old men, widows, and orphans.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MARY LEBONE.
Mary Madden, a pretty-looking female, about eighteen
years of age, who had an infant in her arms, was placed at the
bar before Mr. Rawlinson, charged under the following
circumstances :

Police constable Ovendon, 80 D, stated that on the previous
morning, between five and six o'clock, he saw the prisoner
walking up and down on one side of Manchester-square.
He desired her to go away, telling her at the same time that
if she did not do so, he should be compelled to take her
somewhere else, when she directly used abusive and obscene
language towards him, in consequence of which he con-
veyed her to the station-house. Witness added, that he be-
lieved her to be a prostitute.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Was she doing nothing more than walk-
ing; in the square when you took her into custody? Witness
—I knew her object in being where she was, your Worship.
There's a gentleman living in the square, who encourages
girls at his house continually, and many of them are no more
than twelve years of age. lam sorry to observe,_ too, that
the person I speak of is a man of title, living at No. 21.
Mr. RAWLINSON—We have no secrets here. What is his
name ? Witness—Sir Hugh Munro. 1 have spoken to
some of the girls after they have left his house, and they
have told me that they stand upon the door mat in his hall,
where he talks to them indecently, and that they use lan-
guage of a similar kind, in return for which he gives them
money. A number of the inhabitants in the square have
complained more than once of the nuisance, and I have been
stationed there to do all I can to abate it. The son has also
written to complain of his father's goings on.
Our reporter has, from subsequent inquiry made by him,
ascertained that the constable was in error. It was the ne-
phew, and not the son who communicated with the police
upon the subject.
Mr. RAWLINSON—(to the prisoner)—Whose child is that
which you have in your arms ? Prisoner—lts my own, Sir.
I am no prostitute, I assure you ; and I was waiting for a
friend when the officer took me.

Now, this won't do. If the times are not ripe for a better ex.
hibition, let things alone for the present. The actual strength of
the League consists, not in the length either of its purse or its
talk, but in the fact that some millions of men, women, and child-
ren, rightly or wrongly, happen to identify themselves with it,
and consider their prosperity involved in its success. The agri.
culturists boast that they have three times as many millions on
their side of the question. Why not produce them ? Nobody
expects or wishes labourers to enter into theories of political
economy ; but why are they not grateful ? Why are they not
anxious for the continuance of the existing system ? Why don't
they identify their own comforts with the splendour of the aristo.
cracy t They do not, and will not, so long as they have no other
prospect than living—wife, children, and all—on is. or Bs. a week,
and dying in a union workhouse.—Times.

Mr. RAwtmcsox—You are discharged now, but take care
that you are not brought here again. The Magistrate, then
addressing Inspector Black, said, would there be any harm
in your calling upon this gentleman, or sending some one, to
acquaint him of the nuisance, in order that it may be abated?
Mr. Black—lt's rather a delicate matter, Sir, and I don't
know how far we can interfere as to what may be done in-
side the house. It is not in my district, but I'll represent to
Inspectors Tedman and Brown all that has been here stated
in reference to the case.
CLERKENWELL.

Two young men, named Russell and Payne, were charged
with endeavouring to commit the following imposture :
On the previous evening the prisoners went into the beer.
shop of Mr. Abourne, in Cross-street, Islington, and called
for a pint of half-and-half. The liquor was supplied to them,
and, as payment for it, they handed the potman a yellowish
piece of metal, having the appearance of a sovereign, but
which, on inspection, turned out to be one of those little gilt
medals sold in the streets at a penny each. The prisoners
repeatedly affirmed that it was a sovereign, and demanded
19s. 9d. as their change. They were given into custody.
The prisoner Payne made a desperate resistance, but was even-
tually secured.
Sergeant Pagan said that Russell was a very bad character.
The prisoners were in liquor on the previous evening, and
each of them had eightpence in coppers on his person, with
which the porter might have been paid for.
The prisoners were held to bail.
Two young women of very miserable appearance named
Selina Harrison and Sarah Carter, were charged with robbing
ready-furnished lodgings of bed, bed-clothes, and other
articles value 31., the property of Mrs. Pinnock, 12, Mount
Pleasant, Gray's Inn-lane. fl'he prisoners are boot-spring-
makers; they took a single room from Mrs. Pinnock in De-
cember, and on Monday she discovered that they had pawned
everything in the room. The bed had been pledged in the
beginning of January, so that the unfortunate creatures had
nothing to lie upon but the boards since then. The officer,
Philips, saw nothing in the room but a dirty sheet, a piece
of a blanket, and two chairs, but no food.
The prisoners who cried bitterly, admitted having pawned
the articles, but declared they were driven to do so by des-
titution.
The landlady said all she wanted was to get back her pro-
perty. She had no desire to punish them.
The prisoners were remanded to give them an opportunity
of coming to an arrangement with the prosecutrix.
Mr. Philip John, a surgeon, residing in St. John-street,
was summoned to answer the complaint of Mrs. Murket, the
wife of a foreigner, living in St. John's-lane, for an assault.
The complainant deposed that on Saturday last she
answered a knock at her door, and the defendant asked if her
husband was at home ; she replied in the negative, upon
which he pushed by her, and set himself, unasked, down
upon a chair in the kitchen, saying he would wait until Mr.
Murket returned. She directed him to go away, saying it
was not a fit thing for him to stay in the same room with a
lone young woman ; he refused ; she said she would send for
a policeman ; but, -as he still persisted in remaining, she
seized the chair for the purpose of dragging it away from him,
when he caught her by the throat, and flung her over towards
the other side of the room, and this he did five or six times,
so that her breast was covered with bruises, and her little
child frightened almost to death. A portrait-painter in the
next room, hearing her screams, rushed in and interfered.
The doctor said, the fact was, he had obtained an order for
the payment of 165., in the Court of Requests, against Mr.
Murket, and it was to serve this upon him that he went to
the house. He had been a long time kept out of his money,
which was for professional attendance. He did not strike the
complainant, but she struck him, and tore his that in flitters ;
he firmly believed her husband was concealed in a closet the
entire time.

Mr. COMBE advised Mrs. Murket to pay her doctor's bill.
It too often happened that tenants and other debtors, instead
of paying the lawful demands upon them, sought a pretext for
going to law and injuring their creditors. He would dismiss
the summons.

STATE OF IRELAND.
LORDS' PROTEST.
Dissentient,—Because the military occupation of one-third
of the United Kingdom, avowedly on the ground of the gene-
ral discontent of the people, is a state of things which calls
for the immediate attention of that Parliament to which are
entrusted the interests of the whole United Kingdom.
Because those discontents are not confined to that portion
of the Irish people who advocate the repeal of the union, nor
even to our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects alone. The
grievances of this country are felt strongly and stated dis-
tinctly by some—the highest in rank and most influential in
position—of the residents in Ireland of all religious per-
suasions.
Because the attempt to govern a country possessing the
framework of free institutions through the exclusive influ-
ence of a small minority never did and never can succeed.
Because no satisfactory explanation has been given of the
vacillation and subsequent rashness shown by the Govern-
ment, in dealing with the present agitation in Ireland.
Because the recent legal proceedings have been conducted
in a manner to deprive them of that weight in public opinion,
which belongs to the due administration of justice.
Because the measures announced by her Majesty's Govern-
ment, even if admitted to be in the right direction, are ut-
terly inadequate to meet the wants of the Irish people.
Because, under the system pursued during the first four
years of her Majesty's reign, the value of property in Ire-
land had increased, in consequence of the tranquillity pro-
duced by confidence in the impartial administration of the
laws. Since then, Ireland has become the chief difficulty of the
Executive, and for this reason, that those who, as legislators,
had previously impeded the full extension of equal laws, have
since, in the conduct of the Government, neglected to secure
to that people the practical enjoyment of equal rights.

A wretched-looking woman, named Smith, residing in
Dawes-court, Gunpowder-alley, Shoe-lane, complained to
the Magistrate that the Clerkenwell parochial authorities
had refused to relieve her. She stated that her husband was
working in the yard of industry, attached to Clerkenwell
Workhouse, but did not always get employment there. Som
days he earned as much as a shilling, but upon others not
more than fourpenee. Herself and their two little children
were reduced to the greatest distress. Her husband had ob-
tained a settlement in Clerkenwell parish.
Mr. COMBS said he would mention her case to the paro-
chial authorities of Clerkenwell as soon as they came befe
the Court.
A young man, named Green, was remanded on a charge of
burglariously entering the house of Mr. Evans, boot and shoe
maker, Paddington-street, Marylebone, and stealing there-
from a large quantity of property.
The burglary was effected on the night of the 21st ult. but
the only portion of the plunder yet traced is a pair of boots,
which the prisoner sold to a man named Cripps. The prisoner
had been in Mr. Evans' employment, and left it on the night
immediately preceding that on which the burglary was com-
mitted.

Lord Brougham is suffering severely from lum-
bago. His Lordship was unable to stand upright when
speaking in the House on Monday night.
MISS STRICKLAND'S " LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF
ENGLAND."—We observe that a new edition has just been
published by Mr. Colburn, of Miss Strickland's "Lives of
the Queens of England." This new edition has received the
benefit of a most complete revision by the authoress; and
also embodies all the accessory information which she has
been enabled to obtain through her own careful research, and
the kindness of those numerous friends who have placed the
various valuable historical documents, of which they were
the possessors, at her disposal. The increasing popularity of
this work is a gratifying proof of the estimation in which
Miss Strickland's labours are held by the public. " The
Lives of the Queens of England" will certainly form one
of the most standard works m our historical literature.

The pugilistic contest, between Merryman and
Maley, will be given in Bell's Life in London of Sunday,
Feb. 25. -

DEATHS IN ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.—Last even-
ing Mr. Payne held no fewer than three inquests at St.
Thomas's Hospital. The first was that of Joseph Freeman,
aged 42 years, a dray man in the employ of Messrs. Barclay,
Perkins, and Co. On Friday, the 9th instant, deceased was
riding on the shafts of a waggon, loaded with empty casks,
over London-bridge, when, in his endeavours to jump off, he
slipped and fell beneath the wheels, which passed over his
left leg, and fractured'it in a dreadful manner. lie was con-
veyed to the hospital, where the limb was amputated. He
survived until Sunday morning last, when he died, the house
surgeon said, from exhaustion. The second case was that of
Elizabeth Callow, aged 42 years, who resided at No. 2, Queen
Elizabeth's Cottages, Greenwich. On Sunday, the 11th inst.,
deceased was in the act of assisting her aged bedridden pa-
rent, and whilst so doing her clothes by some means caught
fire, and she was so much burnt that she expired on the 18th
instant. The third case was that of Emily Marshall, aged
16 months, the daughter of James Marshall, of No. 6, Bear-
lane, Gravel-lane, Southwark, who was so dreadfully scalded
by the upsetting of hot water over the upper part of her
body, that she died in a short time after her admission to the
hospital. The jury returned a verdict in each case of—
" Accidental death."

GRAND CELTIC ENTERTAINMENT.—The celebrated
Highland pipers and dancers, who had the honour of being
selected by the Marquis of Breadalbane to perform before
her Majesty and Prince Albert, at Taymouth Castle, during
the Royal progress in Scotland, have arrived in London, to
give a series of entertainments, similar in character to those
with which her Majesty expressed so much gratification.
Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to patronise the ob-
ject. The Highland Society of London also liberally assisted,
and many of its most influential members were present last
evening at the Music-hall, Store-street, Bedford-square,
where the first entertainment took place. The performers
were five Highlanders, attired in the same national costume
as when dancing before the Queen and Prince Albert, and the
nobility of Scotland, at Taymouth Castle. The programme
consisted of a selection of pieces from the most popular Celtic
music. Amongst the tunes most applauded were—" Pio-
baireachd," " Sleam fein an gleaun ;" or," The glen is mine ;"
" The Highland laddie ;" and " Queen Victoria's welcome to
Dunkeld ;" and amongst the dances, the " Gillie Callum, or
Sword dance " (by Archibald M'Donald) ; "The Highland
reel," and " The Marquis of lluntley's reel," were encored.
The dancing of Archibald M'Donald, in the character of a
Highland Shepherdess, was encored amidst enthusiastic
plaudits. The performance was announced for repetition on
Friday evening. A national song, in keeping with the music
and the dancing, now and then, dining the evening, would
be an improvement to these entertainments.
THE IRISH PEASANTRY.—Whatever may be said
of the Irish peasantry, it is an indisputable fact that they are
hard-working and faithful servants, as faithful as the dog to
his master; and anything that is given them they are most
grateful for. Notwithstanding the before unheard-of logic of
the Attorney-General, that the monster meetings, because of
their perfect peacefulness, were the more to be apprehended,
they have stamped upon the Irish peasantry everlasting
credit. Probably the fighting Attorney-General considered
intemperance and a breach of the law the most secure, and
that may explain for his challenge to Mr. Fitzgibbon.
THE ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAIL-
WAY.—The unfortunate man, Weller, is still lying in St.
Thomas's Hospital in a very precarious state. He remained
perfectly insensible up to yesterday, when a slight return of
consciousness took place. It is stated, however, that very
little hope of his ultimate recovery is entertained.

Saturday night, at the Tuileries. Nearly 4,000 persons all
were
present. After receiving the diplomatic body in the Salle du
TrOne, their Majesties entered the Salle de Marechaux at
about nine o'clock, and dancing commenced immediately.
The King retired to his cabinet at ten, to write and transact
business, but returned at twelve, and took his seat by the
side of the Queen. At one o'clock, their Majesties, followed
by the foreign Ambassadors, proceeded to the Salle de Spec-
tacle, where covers had been laid for supper for four hundred
persons. The scene was here exceedingly splendid, from the
immense number of wax lights burning, and the elegance of
the ladies' dresses. The King and Duke de Nemours re-
mained standing at the entrance whilst the ladies were at
supper. The party did not break up till four in the morning.
Lieutenant-General Pajol, in leaving the ball, fell, frac-
tured his left thigh, and received other injuries. He was im-
mediately conveyed home, and as soon as the King heard of
the accident, he sent his own surgeons to attend

The Duke de Montpensier arrived at Marseilles on Thurs-
day morning, and was to embark in the evening for Algiers.
A Toulon letter of the 14th states, that the brig-of-war
Palinure has received orders to proceed to Alicant, and that
some other vessels-of-war are to hold themselves in readiness
to sail for the coast of Spain.
The question of the execution of the great lines of rail-
road has been provisionally resolved, by the Government,
in favour of the mixed system established by the law, of the
11th June, 1842. Consequently, a Bill will speedily be pre-
sented to the Chamber of Deputies.
Tho Journal de Manheim states from Constantinople, Jan.
24, that the differences between the Porte and Persia have
been settled by the influence of the English and Russian
Commissioners.

A letter from Vienna, in the Augsburg Gazette, states that
a notice, signed by the President of the Aulic Chamber, was
posted up at the bourse on the 9th inst., expressly prohibit-
ing all transactions in public stock or shares that are not
quoted in the official list—in fact, that have not received the
sanction of the Government. The letter states that the ex-
tent of gambling in Leghorn railroad shares has rendered
this order necessary.
