Yesterday George Walker, Joseph Hoiles, Henry Turner,
James Ayres, John Bush, and -James Seabrooke, six well-
dressed boys whose ages, varied from 13 to 16 years, were
finally examined before Mr. Bingham, charged with having
assaulted and wounded Mr. Charles Grills, a tea-dealer, living
in Sherwood-place, Bethnal-green.
' Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon of Wed-
nesday, the 17th instant, as the brother of the prosecutor, a
boy 14 years of age, was engaged in cleaning the outside of
the shop window, he was suddenly surrounded and assailed
by the prisoners, one of whom snatched a handkerchief out of
his hand and ran away with it. On observing their conduct
the prosecutor came out of the shop, and endeavoured to re-
cover the handkerchief, upon which the prisoners simu.-
taneously attacked him, and after striking him several times
about the head and face they dragged him to the ground,
and continued beating him until he became insensible. He
was rescued from further violence by some of his neighbours,
'who found him bleeding profusely . from the ears, nose, and
month, and carried him home apparently lifeless.
In their defence the prisoners, who displayed throughout
the most unbecoming levity, admitted that they were all
present on the occasion ; but each of them endeavoured to
exonerate himself at the expense of the others.
Mr. BINGHAM said that it was far too serious a case for
summary adjudication, and he should therefore commit the
prisoners for trial at ie ensuing Clerkenwell sessions.

(From the South Eastern, at Headecrn).
The Provisional Committee have the satisfaction to state that
they have entered into an arrangement with the Directors of the
South Eastern Company, subject to the approbation of their Pro-
prietors, by which that Company will engage at any time within
five years from its opening to take a lease of the Hastings line
for 21 years, at such a rent as shall guarantee to the Proprietors
4 per cent. per annum on the cost of its construction to the ex-
tent of the estimate, with a moiety of the net surplus profits
beyond the rental, thus giving to the Proprietors of this under-
taking the opportunity of working the contemplated line them-
selves for five years, with the option, should it be deemed more
advantageous at any time within that period, of requiring the
South Eastern Company to take a lease for 21 years, at a rental
securing to the Proprietors a certain fair return for their ca-
pital with a proportion of the surplus benefits likely to arise
from union management and a consequent reduction of expenses.
Power will be applied for in the Act, to allow interest, at
4/. per cent. per annum, on Deposits and paid-up Calls.

1-irises and those of neighbour. He desired them to enelea',

asked for the boy; andtold him hellould take him into cus-

confess everything. In consequenCe of the statement r wade
by the.bov, he took the two prisoners into custody. ,
Arthut:l3rown,the apprentice, was sworn as a witness,,and
stated that he saw the prisoners each fling a stone last w
and heard the glass break. They did it for fun.
Sir J. DUKE said it was a gross case of misconduct, an ahe

They were removed to tridewell.
George riomas.Adams, a Custom-house agent, residinrg

of his confession Messrs. Cockburn begged to recomi nend
him to mercy.
Sir J. Du Kr. adjudged him to forfeit the value of the g pads,
and to pay a fine of 21.—The prisoner paid the amount, .;and
was liberated.

Yesterday William Holder, a respectable-looking man, tra-
veller and collector, in the employment of Messrs. Flockton
and Co., the tar and turpentine distillers of Bermondsey, was
broughf before Mr. Traill, charged •with embezzling various
sums of money, the property of the firm.
Edward Symonds stated that he was cashier in the above
firm, and that the prisoner had been in their employ for the
last twelve months, as collector, and that it was his duty to
have paid over all sums of money he received for his em-
ployer on the day following that on which he received them.
The witness added, that of late it was discovered that the
prisoner had collected various sums of money of the cus-
tomers, which he had not accounted for, and on subsequent
inquiries, it was ascertained that he had converted them to
his own purposes.
These facts were proved, and the prisoner, who said nothing
in his defence, was committed.
Thomas Sparhes, shopman to a pawnbroker in the New-
cut, Lambeth. was charged with stealing 401., the property.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOUR,ALS.
FROM THB MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. - •
TlMES.—Everybody is looking forward vith anxiety
to the Queer's speech, and thinking-that it raust,neees-
sarily contain an explicit declaration of MinisteriaLin-
tentions. For our own parts, we are inclined to-believe
that the- forthcoming speech from the Throne wilt dis-
appoint public curiosity, just as mach as many of its
predecessors have done. Looking, indeed, to the as-
pect of the times—the partially developed plans of public
men and parties, and especially to the habitual caution
of the Premier—we are much disposed to think that in-
dications of his future policy will be especially avoided
in the Queen's speech. Advantage will doubtless be
taken of the unexampled peace—and the prospect of
continued peace—by which our foreigri, relations are
now happily distinguished. The sentiments of Louis
Philippe towards England may be gracefully recipro-
cated towards France, in Queen Victoria's ad-
dress to an English Parliament. Nor will her Ma-
jesty's Ministers fail to express their grateful thanks
for the blessings of an increasing revenue and a re-
viving trade. These are tangible benefits, which a na-
tion feels more quickly, and acknowledges more readily,
n the fruits of the most..,p,rpfound speculative legisla-
tion. Of Ireland we apprehend that little will be said ;
Silence on the subject of its evils and their remedies
will be justified by the prosecutions which are pending
and the commission which is sitting. Nor will our ex.
pectations be disappointed if, after all, there is not me
syllable about the corn-law. This silence may be ex-
plained by the caution of the Minister, the previous in-
activity of the agriculturists, and the divisions among
the different advocates of free trade. But though there
be no mention of these topics in the Queen's Speech, we
do not doubt but that the Queen's Ministry will speak
out in response to the pressure of the Opposition. There
will be no excuse for silence or for ambiguity afforded
either by the moderation of their foes or the complais-
ance of their friends ; and we have seen no indication of
solicitude to conciliate the former, or to play into the
hands of the latter.
ADVERTISER—It is confidently reported that Mr.
Roebuck means to move an amendment to the address.
We hope the report will prove correct. It will be
strange indeed if her Majesty's speech be so satisfactory
to the country as to cut away all ground for amend-
ment ; and it will be a grave reflection on the patriotism
of the Liberal Members of the House of Commons if, in
the event of an amendment being needed, there should
be none to undertake the performance of so important a
duty. Rather than have such an important duty lest
undone, we would willingly accept the services of even
Mr. Roebuck. We have not heard the precise nature of
the rumoured amendment ; but we are informed it re-
lates to the inexpediency of any longer upholding the
Church Establishment in Ireland. We hope our in-
formation is correct. A more popular amendment
could not be moved. The Church of England, " as
by law established," is one of the monster evils of
Ireland. It is the daily source of infinite mischief.
The idea of the religion of 400,000 being made the es-
tablished religion of a country in which there is a popu-
lation of 8,000,000, is one of those things which con-
found all reflecting men by ithe very perfection of their
audacity. It is not merely that sixteen Catholics are
compelled to pay for the support of the religion of one
Protestant; but that these Catholics are forced to sub-
mit to the gratuitous insulte which are daily offered to
themselves and their religipn by this one Protestant,
he possessing all the power and importance which
invariably belong to those who have the law on
their side. All who have reflected on the state of
Ireland, must have been struck with the prominent
part which the Established clergy have played in the
drama of that country's wrongs. We are satisfied
that the extinction of the Church of England, as an
Established Church in Ireland, would go far to tran-
quillise that unhappy country. It is the eye-sore to
nineteen-twentieths of the population; for the Presby•
terians of Ulster, and the Independents, Baptists, and
Wesleyan Methodists scattered throughout the other
provinces, are now beginning to regard the Episcopal
Establishment in Ireland with quite as much aversion as
the Roman Catholics themselves. Its destruction would,
therefore, give the greatest satisfaction to the people of
that country—to all in it with the exception of the small
minority whose clergy live by the plunder of the large
majority. The Minister who will have the sense of jus-
tice and the moral courage to bring in a measure for
laying the Irish Church in the dust, will thereby make
himself the most popular Minister whom modern times
have produced. Will Sir Rpbert Peel earn that dis-
tinction? Is he the man whom the emergency in Irish
affairs requires ? We shall see. In the mean time, it
is to be hoped that no squeamish delicacy—no false no-
tions of respect for the Sovereign, will prevent any Libe-
ral Member from giving his most hearty and strenuous
support to the rumoured amendment of Mr. Roebuck.
It will have been observed, from an advertisement
which has repeatedly appeared in our paper, that a tea
meeting of those in favour of Complete Suffrage is to
take place this evening in the Crown and Anchor. The
attendance, we have no doubt, will be numerous : as
little doubt is there that the intellectual entertainment
will be of no common order. The meeting, it is ex-
pected, will be graced by the attendance of several of
the most distinguished of the Liberal Members of the
House of Commons. Such meetings do good. They
bring the friends of the principles for whose promotion
the meetings take place, into close and kindly contact,
and create a feeling of cordiality which enables them
afterwards to act more harmoniously together. The
Complete Suffrage cause is making some, though com-
paratively silent progress. Its principles are steadily
making their way in all parts of the land. They are
penetrating the remotest corners of the kingdom. We are
confident the meeting of to-night will give a new and sen-
sible impetus to the cause. The time is well chosen: it is the
eve of the day on which the Legislature re-assembles. It is,
moreover, a time in which past disappointments in all
other quarters whence the people had looked for help,
have driven large masses of our country.men who were
strongly opposed to extensive changes in the suffrage,
to the conclusion, that nothing but a completeness of the
suffrage, approximating to universal, will successfully
cope with the evils of the country. There cannot be a,
doubt that the session of Parliament which commences
to-morrow, will witness great political changes. We
are not so sanguine as to anticipate that any very great
accession of new adherents to the Complete Suffrage
movement will be made within the walls of Parliament;
but we do expect that there will be large reinforcements
to the ranks of the Complete Suffragists out of doors,
through the proceedings which will take place in
connexion with the cpieStien on the floor of the
House of Commons. The more the subject is
mooted, the more it will gain—the more it is
agitated, and the more the claims of the movement party
are canvassed, the greater will be the progress of the

General Post letter-carriers, on a charge of stealing- a letter,

his duty.
The prisoner, who was about thirty-five years of age, gave
his name Frost, and his residence N.o. 26, Goswell-street,

bricki, and his wife, and a Mr.' Louis Sosnowski,
be Count Den-
e of
were charged
with having committed an annoyance by ringing at the bell
of the house of Lady Coutts Trotter, in Grosvenor-square.
The defendants, who were extremely. well dressed, and
who call themselves Polish refugees, but who are disowned
by the Association, have beenlong known as peresonsions

truding upon the nobility and gentry w

containing fabricated claims to compassio T
fendant. Dembricki, is reported to have no claim Whatever
to the title of Count.
William Best, butler to Lady Trotter, said some time ago
he had, at the request of her Ladyship,
come to this Court,
and made known the fact of the two defendants, man and
wife, having sent in a petition for money to her Ladyship,
be-
the
statements in which petition there was good reason to
lieve were fabricated. Since that period the defendants had
' taken every means in their power of annoying him. Yester-
day morning they had g the bell, when he went to the
door, they asked to see Lady Trotter, or Sir Dudley Coutts
Lindsay. Witness told thein he knew they were impocstloFse,

and then Sosnowski began swearing at hl

shut the door. On relating what had occurred,
He went

Yesterday Williant Harrwood was placed at the bar, before
Mr. Rawlinsou, for final examination, upon the charge of
having attempted to murder his son; Arthur. aged 16, by
striking him on the head with a fire-shovel.
The appearance of the poor lad excited the commissera-
tion and sympathy of all present; his head was bound
round with a handkerchief, which concealed from view nu-
merous wounds, and upon his face were several contusions;
his eyes and nose were also much distigurecl, and lie was so
extremely weak as to be scarcely able to stand. The worthy
Magistrate therefore ordered fur him a chair, in which lie
sat close to the Bench.
The
evidence now given, coupled with that before ad-
duced, went to show that on Sunday, the 14th instant, some
words took place between the prisoner and his son Arthur;
ifiet:lplements named. In the

upon a chair,
were called in, and 01 their arrival they found Arthur in a
state of insensibility, old completely smothered in blood.
All that could be gatherer I from what fell from him prior to
his being taken to the hospital, were the words, "Father

The prisoner stands comn:itted for trial, but will be brought
up again this day, when the 'whole of the depositions will be
read over.
Ellen Turner. a very well-dres;sed young woman, was
placed at the bar charged with haying stolen property of
different descriptions to a consideral)le zonount, belace,lougin, to
her mistress, Mrs. Harriet Bennet, 23, Poilman-p fdg-
ware-road.
It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Bennett that
the
prisoner had been in her service about three months, n
that having missed a cloak, she questioned her respecting it,
when she at first denied all knowledge as to where it was,
but subsequently said that she had lent it. Her box WIIS
searched, and in it were found a pair of gold ear-rings, thir-
teen handkerchiefs, and other articles, all of which Mrs.
Bennett identified as her own.
The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday next.
A young man, named William Green, was placed at the
bar before Mr. llawlinson,- for re-examination, charged on
suspicion of having been concerned in plundering the shop of
Mr. William Evans, a boot and shoe-maker, in an extensive
way of business, at 25, Paddington-street, near this court.
The prisoner was committed on a charge of stealing a pair
of lady's boots, but he will be again brought up, when it is
expectsd the robbery of a large amount of property will be
traced to him.

Complete Suffragists. All that is wanted to insur the
speedy triumph of the cause is, that it be kept cons tly
and prominently before the public. The hint, w are
sure, will not be lost on those for whom it is intended.
A word to the wise is enough. There is no danger of
our being misunderstood. From Mr. Thomas Dnn-
combe, Mr. Sharman Crawford, and several other Mem-
bers of the Commons, we expect—an expectation which
is shared by the public—great things in the way of
keeping the question of Complete Suffrage continually
before the House. We know the subject is unpleasabt,
to the great majority of our legislators; but we are not
to Ise deterred from our purpose by that consideration.
They must be made to hear many unpleasant truths—
they must be made to listen to many discussions which
may grate in their ears. It is high time they were
taught the lesson, that it was not to please themselves,
but to attend to the complaints, and redress the griev-
ances of the people, tfrat they were sent to St. Stephen's.

TIMES.—The Greenwich Railway meeting, as was ex-
pected, proved a very stormy affair, although the topics dis-
cussed were the same as have been frequently brought before
the public. It appears, by some oversight at the last meet-
ing, the contract with the Brighton Company for reduced
• tollage• was not confirmed by the general body of share-
holders, find hence to-day arose a debate as to the expedi-
ency of doing so, which occasioned a contrary feeling among
certain parties, who desire to see the maximum rate enforced.
The majority of the meeting took a different view, which
ended in the confirmation of this agreement, and the passing
of a resolution expressing willingness on the part of the Com-
pany to submit to a similar reduction in the case of the South-
Eastern and Croydon lines, provided it was understood that
these Companies would do all in their power to facilitate
and conduct traffic to the London-bridge station. So im-
portant is this point considered, that the Greenwich Com-
pany have determined only to aftbrd assistance to the Croy-
don Company in the coming contest for the Epsom branch,
on the condition of a spirit of co-operation to work out this
desirable end. No dividend was declared, in consequence of
the deficiency of profit to pay one, which default introduced
the question of the right of the preference shareholders to
receive their five per cent. in a form likely to give some
employment to' the lawyers. It is contended on the one
side that the preference shareholders have only a lien on
the profits of the Company, and not as a mortgage debt.
a lien on the capital ; and hence it is argued that they
can only be paid out of the profits, and not, as some
of the shareholders insinuated, out of capital, as seemed
by the appearance of the accounts. It was admitted
that on this view of the case the question might subse-
quently arise whether, if the profits of the one half-year
failed to satisfy these claims, the deficiency would not be an
accumulating debt against future profits. On the other side
it was stated that the preference shareholders are paid out of
the profits after deducting the usual expenses ; but, as it ap-
peared the wish of the shareholders to have the point settled
at once by reference to the highest legal authorities, the
Directors did not oppose the motion, with the view of being
corrected or set right with the public, and for future guidance
in making up the accounts of the Company, and determining
the actual position of the preference shareholders a .com-
mitte of legal gentlemen were appointed. to draw out a case
to be submitted to the Attorney-General and Solicitor-
General, two representing preference shareholders, and two
original shareholders, so that the interests of both classes of
proprietors may be fairly set forth.

CAPTAIN PECHELL, R.N., M.P., ON
THE CORN-LAWS.
(Abridged from the Brighton' Guardian.)
On Saturday last Captain Pechell hid his annual audit and
rent dinner at the Horse and Groom Inn, Patching Pond.
After the cloth had been removed, and the usual loyal toasts
were disposed of,
Captain Pechell rose and said—lt now falls to my duty,
presiding over this company, to propose to you what I con-
sider to be the toast of the evening, which is " The health of
the tenants and friends of mine who have done me the ho •
nour to be present on this occasion." Upon these occasions
it has always been my custom either to congratulate you or
to condole with you upon the result of your several under-
takings. Last year we had a thanksgiving for a bountiful
harvest ; and this year it has been represented, and by per-
sons who really' ought to know better, that the farmers
would be well rewarded for their exertions by the abundance
and excellence of their crops. Now, residing among you, as
I do, I have made it my business to inquire, and I cannot
congratulate you upon the result of your labours last year.
—(" Certainly not.") You are told that your distress, which
means, that you have not remunerating prices, is owing to
certain causes; and the first person who figures as having
stated the causes of your not having remunerating prices is
the Prime Minister himself. I was present when lie told the
Members of the House of Commons that he acknowledged
there was great distress in the agricultural districts, that that
distress was in part owing to his law and in part owing to
the abundance of the harvest.—(Oh.) So putting these two
things together, we see that the law of Sir Robert Peel, with
the abundance of the harvest, have brought about the ruin of
the farmer.—(Hear.) There are other parties who have as-
cribed the distress to the present law and to the rents—par-
ties whom I call the intelligent portion of the community.
They state that with high rents and low prices they find their
capital dwindling away. These opinions have been stated
by very eminent farmers in different parts of the country,
who have declared that with declining prices and without
protection, they and their families will soon be brought to
ruin.—(" That is right, Sir.") Another party has declared
the cause of the distress, for distress is universally acknow-
ledged—the landlords of the country have declared, and they
are now raising the country from one end to the other, in or-
der to persuade you, the tenants, that your distress is owing
to the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law League. They de-
clare that it is to the Anti-Corn-law League that the present
distress in agriculture is attributable. Now it is all very well
to say that the landlord's and the tenant's interest are inse-
parable. We have heard it said lately at all the agricultural
meetings, that we row in the same boat, and that—how very
affectionate—we are to sink or swim together. But I say it
is not honest, it is not fair, to say this is a tenant's question,
and that you are to be brought into collision with the
Anti-Corn-law League upon a subject with which, in my
opinion, you have nothing at all to do.—(Hear, hear.) A
law was passed, altering the duties on the importation of
corn, which law was supported by the landlords. You find
fault with that law, you consider that you are injured by it,
you attribute the falling-off in your receipts and in your pro-
fits to the operation of that law, and you boldly say that that
law has injured you. But the landlords tell you it is not
that law which has injured you ; and they draw your atten-
tion away entirely from the subject, and ask you to go to a
meeting to battle with the Anti-Corn-law League, when the
question which is to be proposed there has no more to do with
you than it has with the Archbishop of Canterbury, except
so far as he is a landowner.—(Hear.) Now, that is my opi-
nion as to one of the causes of the present distress. There
are two antagonist principles. There are some farmers whose
names figure in the public prints as having attributed the
present distress tope new law ; the landlords attribute it to
the Anti-Corn-law League. Now, it is very right that you
should understand what that protection means. They also
call out for protection. It does certainly appear to me that
" protection to the tenant " is, in other words, " protection
to the rent of the landlord."—(Hear.) Though the interest
of the tenant goes in a great degree along with that of the land-
lord, still it is not for you to fight the battle of the landlord
for high prices, to keep up high rents. You have seen that
these high prices, which have been promised to you by the
several Acts of Parliament, have not made your fortunes.
You cannot find a farmer in this country who has retired
from business with a fortune and a provision for his family.
Show me any other trade, a grocer or a miller, in which this
is so. In every other business, except farming, men have
laid something by for their family. Here we have been since
the close of the war, in 1815, with the landlords always call-
ing out for protection, and still there has been agricultural
distress. All you ask for, or ought to ask for, is steady prices,
that you may know exactly what you are about. At present
no man knows how he stands. Your interests have been
most deeply affected and your landlords call upon you to join
with them in calling for protection and for the annihilation
of the Anti-Corn-law League. They say that their estates
are no longer saleable, that property is depreciated, and that
the stability of our institutions is affected by the machina-
tions of the Anti-Corn-law League. Nay, lam not sure that
they have not attributed the blight and the smut and the
grub of Mr. 011iver's wheat to it.—(Loud laughter.) I sun
sure I am addressing honest and intelligent men who will see
that the call which has been made upon them for protection
to the tenant clearly. means ‘!, protection to the landlord- and
high rents for the tenant."—(Cheers.)
