MARYLEBONE.

Robert henry Attwopi, a very respectably dressed lad, was
placed at the bar, charged with the gentlemanly amusement
of ringing bells and creating a disturbance.

Police —constable 209 S stated that the prisoner was busily
engaged this morning, about one o'clock, ringing the bells in
Clarendon-place, Edgware-road. When he saw the witness,
he said to a companion who was with him, but who did not
join in the amusement, that " here was a policeman," and upon
his being taken into custody he offered a considerable sum of
money if he would be permitted to go away. Witness, how-
ever, refused the bribe, and landed him in the station-house.

Mr. RA*LINSON—You seem to enjoy your position amaz-
ingly, Sir—pray, what are you ? Prisoner—l was secretary
to an Irish gentleman.

Mr. RAWLINSON—Has the Irish gentleman dispensed with
your valuable services now? Prisoner—Yes, I now reside
with my mother.
Mr. RAIN-Limo:l—You are fined forty shillings, Sir, and I
hope you may find the amusement too expensive for daily
practice.
Prisoner—Well, I think you are too hard.
The prisoner's further remonstrances were cut short by
Mitchell, the gaoler, very politely handing him out of Court.

UNION-HALL.—
Jeremiah llPCarthy was charged with wilfully damaging a
table belonging to the Grand Masonic Lodge of England.
The table, which was described to be 300 years old, was
produced ; it wds of a circular shape and very neatly inlaid
with different kinds of wood.

Thomas Murray stated that on Saturday evening at eight
o'clock, he was carrying the table on his shoulder in High-:
street, when the defendant who was behind came up, and
striking it with all his force knocked it off, and falling on the
pavement it sustained very much damage. The defendant
was not sober, and accompanied the blow with a vulgar ex-
pression.

The defendant said that he ran against the table acci-
dentally, as he had a " drop in" at the time.
Mr. TRAILL said the defendant was liable to pay the
damage, besides a fine for being drunk, and that if he did
not do the former he should be committed to gaol. -
After a good deal of quibbling, the defendant endeavour-
ing to lessen the estimate of the damage, he consented to pay
it, and was discharged.
Mary Easton, servant to Mr. Fennell, grocer, of Ber-
mondsey, was charged with stealing a cash-box containing
201. in sovereigns and silver, besides 1791. in cheques.
It appeared that the prisoner had taken an opportunity of
getting possession of the cash-box on the preceding day
about two o'clock, with which she absconded and went to
Chelsea. When she got there, she gave the cash-box to an
old fruit woman to try and open, but not succeeding in the
eflbrt, the latter person took it to a beer shop keeper on the
spot, who, suspecting it was stolen, detained it and gave in-
formation at the station house. This led to the detection of
the robbery, and the prisoner being taken into custody, she
was forthwith lodged in the station house. She said nothing
in her defence, and was committed for trial.

THE MURDER AT BATTERSEA.

ADJOURNED INQUEST.

Yesterday being appointed by Mr. Carter, the Coroner
for Surrey, for the further examination of evidence touching
the death of Sarah Eleanor 111Tarlane, the Swan HotA
where the inquest was appointed was thronged long
before the hour of meeting, in consequence of a report having
gone abroad, that the supposed murderer Dalmas, would be
brought before the Coroner ; and that he would attempt to
establish an alibi. In this expectation, the wonder seekers
were disappointed, for no arrangement had been entered into
with the magistrate at Wandsworth (Mr. Clive) by Mr.
Carter to ensure his attendance.

After the jurors' names had been read over, the Coroner
proceeded to read the evidence already adduced.
Frances Scott was examined—l am a single woman, re-
siding at 9, Bolton-place, Upper Church-lane, Chelsea. I
am in the service of Mrs. D'Oyley, and on the night of
Monday week a girl came into the house as servant. The
girl now present (pointing to Augusta Dalmas) is the person.
Superintendent Bicknell—l must really have some clear.
ance in Court for the admission of witnesses.

Mr. CARTER—My Court is an open one ; but I am sure
that the gentlemen present will give every accommodation
to witnesses. _ _

Examination of witness continued—The girl arrived at
Mrs. D'Ovley's at half-past eight at night in company with a
female. 'They proceeded down stairs to the kitchen, re-
mained there about ten minutes, and then bade each other
good bye. I let the female who accompanied her out of the
front door, and also out of the gate of the small garden.
I did not observe her join any one, but I saw a man walking
on the opposite side of the road, as if he were waiting for
somebody. The person seemed coming to the gate, but
when it was opened by me he went away again. I could
not perceive whether his coat was black or blue, as it was
rather dark, and I did not see his face sufficiently well to
identify him.
By a juror—l did not see who brought the girl's boxes.
The first time I saw the boxes was when the females came
to the door. They had the boxes then in their hands.
By the CORONER—I did make ' a remark to the
female that her husband was waiting outside, but the girl
said, " No, he is my father."
The last witness was recalled, and in answer to the Coroner,
thought that the time when she let the female out was about
a quarter to nine.
Sergeant Lynes, 5 V—About twenty minutes to nine
o'clock on last Monday evening I saw a man walking up
and down in Bolton-place, and he was looking very anxiously
towards No. 9in that row of houses. I looked very hard at
him in passing, and went round the corner of Black-place
and stood there to watch him. At the time when the three
quarters past eight was striking I saw a woman leaving
No. 9, and this man then went over the road and met her
They took arms and went towards the Queen's Elms, Ful-
ham-road. When I found what he was waiting for I didn't
watch him any longer. I noticed that he was dressed in black.
Mr. CARTER—Do you see the man here? Witness (look-
ing round him)—l don't see him, Sir; but I should know
him out of fifty.
Mr. CARTER (to the jurymen)—You see the position I am
placed in. Here is a witness who can speak to the identity
of the prisoner, and yet the accused person is not here. (To
Mr. Superintendent Bicknell)—The man Dalmas is in cus-
tody, is he not? Superintendent Bicknell—lle is, Sir.
Mr. CARTER—I have no wish to parade any man, but I
think it is highly necessary that the prisoner should have
been brought here. It would then have appeared on my
notes that the man Dahlias had been identified by this wit-
ness as the person waiting in Bolton place.
Elizabeth Shepley, widow, and barmaid with Mr. Theo-
dore, of the Stag, Fulham-road.—On Monday night, April
29, I was attending behind the bar, about half-past nine,
when two persons came in, a male and female The female
had on a light gown and straw bonnet. The man—
Mr. CARTER, to the Superintendent—lt is absolutely ne-
cessaly, for the guidance of the jury, that the prisoner should
be brought here to be identified. We have a public duty to
perform, and it is necessary that it should be done pro-
perly. I think I shall be under the necessity of adjourning
the Court until the man supposed to be guilty is brought
before us. I do not suppose that the Magistrate would go
into an ex parte statement, and I cannot see that this Court
should do so. _ _ _ _ .

Mr: Superintendent Bicknell could say nothing on the
subject.
Mr. Parkins, whose evidence has been already given in
The Sun, was then called.—He added to his former statement
that in his exclaiming " Good God, the woman will bleed to
death," the deceased seemed to reply, "Oh dear !" He did
not at any time hear her say who had inflicted the injury.
By a juror.—He was standing up at the time Mr. Gosling
and the policeman asked who had committed the injury.
They were stooping and could hear her reply, but he did not.
Langton, 36 V, was next examined, and his evidence read
over.—He was positive the woman knew she was in a dying
state when she mentioned that " Dalmas had done it."
Mr. Messenger was called.—He had seen the prisoner at
Wandsworth, but could not swear that he had seen hint on
the bridge.

Sergeant Cummings, 3 D, said a person gave himself into
his custody on the morning of Saturday. He had never
seen him before to his knowledge. He is not here. Exa-
mined him in the station-house, and found no instrument
upon him. •

Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and, on our ad-
mission, we found Mr. Carter addressing the jurymen. He
recapitulated the chief features of the case, and dwelt con-
siderably upon those portions of the evidence which seemed
to point to the man in custody as the person who had com-
mitted the murder.

After an address of considerable length, strangers were
ordered to withdraw, and, on their admission, it was an-
nounced that the jury had found a verdict of " Wilful Murder
against Augustus llamas."
Mr. CARTER said that the jury had, upon full deliberation,
returned the above verdict; but it would have been much
more satisfactory to have had the prisoner before them.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—A most dreadful accident
occurred yesterday in a colliery near Llanelly. It ap-
pears from the particulars we have been able to gather,
that between two and three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the engine in the Penbwlchgwyn colliery, about two
miles from Llanelly, caught fire. After a short time the
engine, with a tremendous crash, fell into the pit, shut-
ting out every chance of escape for the hundred men
and children who were working in the pit. All at-
tempts to put out the flames were vain. Exertions to
extricate the sufferers were used incessantly, but at
eight o'clock last night not one of them was got out of,
the pit. It is much to be feared, therefore, that every
soul has perished.— We/shy/lan of Saturday.

the Committee appear to have bestowed agood deal of labour
and pains in collecting information, and the language of the
report, it must also be allowed, is temperate, and not app.-
rently overcharged.
The case made out in the report of the Committee is de-
eisive, that Ireland is greatly deficient in banking capital
and accommodation. An interesting contrast in this respect is
drawn between the present condition of Ireland and Scotland.
The whole banking capital paid up in Ireland is only
1,600,0001., deducting the capital of the Bank of Ireland all
lent to Government. The whole available banking means
of Ireland is thus stated :—Average circulation, 5,500,0001. ;
deposits, 6,000,0001., and paid-up capital, including the whole
capital of the Bank of Ireland, 4,230,0001., making a total of
15,730,0001. With these means so little benefit is derived
from the banks by way of accommodation, that the average
amount of the discounts by all the banks of issue are estimated
not to exceed 4,000,000/.
By way of contrast, the number of joint-stock banks in
Scotland is 29, with a paid-up capital of 9,000,0001. ; de-
posits, bmaaknksinghat‘h-ee
siroocuxolatiotn,
340 branches, and the Irish 137, being in the former case one
tlstalits,b2anrinrmealqnsall3d9c,
bank to every 7,750 persons, and in the latter one to every
60,000. The banking capital of Scotland is 151. per head to
the whole population, and in Ireland 11. 18s. 6d. per head.
These are, certainly, singular contrasts, and indicate a widely
different state of society in the two sections of the empire.
The Committee endeavour to bring all these facts and de-
ductions to bear against the special privileges which have
been conferred upon the Bank of Ireland, and for this pur-
pose they have evidently drawn the contrast with Scotland,
where banking_ has been left entirely free. That they make
out some very strong points against the monopoly of the
Bank of Ireland is undeniable, but the main cause of Ireland
being so far behind in the race, compared with Scotland, is
much deeper seated than banking monopoly, and must be
socght for in another direction.—Herald.

The 38th annual meeting of this Society was held yester-
day in the great room of Exeter-hall. Lord J. Russell, M.P.,
presided.
The centre of the hall was densely crowded by Dissenters
and members of the Society of Friends ; and amongst those
on the platform we observed Lord Monteagle, Admiral Sir
E. Codrington, Sir C. Lemon, Bart., M.P. ; Mr. D. Barclay,
M.P. ; Mr. S. Marjaribanks, M.P. ; Mr. C. Hindley, M.P. ;
Mr. S. Gurney, Mr. W. Tooke, Rev. J. Burnet, Rev. Dr.
Morrison, Rev. J. Shurman, a German missionary from
Benares ; Rev. W. Arthur, from Mysore, &c.
The Noble ChAnt3imr, after briefly explaining the origin
and objects of the Society, proceeded to say, that at no time
within his recollection had the great cause which they were
then assembled to advocate been brought before the public
under such favourable auspices or with se fair a prospect of a
happy issue. The propriety of educating the people was no
longer a problematical question. Men of all parties were
agreed as to its necessity, however much they differed as to
the mode in which it could be most effectually accomplished.
Upon that point those who formed this Institution bad
never entertained any doubt whatever. They had long felt
the want of a system of education which should comprehend
every denomination of persons, and their only difficulty was
how that want was to be remedied. They had two points
to consider. The first was the existing. means—the next,
the inadequacy of those means, and in what way that
deficiency, could be supplied. They found that the
State, as a State, took no charge of theeducation of the people.
The Church, if it had the inclination, had not the means
wherewith to establish a great national system; but even if
it had these means, there we)many without the pale of the
Church who were not likely to avail themselves of such a
provision, for reasons to which he should not then more par-
ticularly advert. It was proper here to remark, that there
wee• endowments applicable to educational purposes, which
might perhaps have been made available, but owing to the
will of the founders it was found impossible to apply those
funds in a practically useful manner; they did not apply to
the purposes of general education. It was, therefore, found
necessary to provide a substitute by means of voluntary
subscriptions. That Society had grown up out of the vo-
luntary principle. Amongst its earliest supporters were
his late Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, his late Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex, whose death they had re-
cently to deplore, his own lamented father, the Duke of
Bedford, Lord Brougham, and that great and good man,
William Allen, whose benevolence and philanthropy had
through a long and useful life associated him with every in-
stitution which had for its object the improvement of man-
kind. It was under such auspices that the Society had
commenced operations. Its objects were, in the first place,
to provide the people with the means of scriptural instruc •
Lien; in the next, to secure to them the advantages of
secular knowledge. The next question was, how these ends
could be attained so as to include the greatest number of the
people ? As had been truly observed, the people of England
were a Protestant people—it was no less true that the Bible
was the religion of Protestants ; therefore, by giving them
the Bible, in that sense all could unite. With respect to
secular education, he saw no reason why it should not be
carried to the greatest extent, provided the means were ade-
quate. The Society had existed, he believed, thirty-eight
years, and during that time great improvements had taken
place ; owing to the example set by the Society schools were
established where they had not previously existed. In three
or four years after the formation of that Society the Church
interested itself in the cause ; the schools of the National
Education Society were formed, he would not say in rivalry,
but they were put in juxta-position with those of that Society.
During the last year the means of education had been con-
siderably increased, the details of Which would be learned
from the report. The efforts made by public bodies had
stimulated individual exertion; and here he had the hap-
piness to inform the meeting, that his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, whose enlightened views on the subject of education
must endear him to the people of this country, had contri-
buted a donation of 100/. to be applied to the purposes of the
Society.—(Loud cheers.). His (Lord J. Russell's) brother,
the President of the Society, had also sent his annual sub-
scription of 100 guineas.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, the Noble
Lord expressed his ardent hope that the Society would go on
and prosper—that by giving the word of God with sound and
useful knowledge to the poor child; he might become worthy
of a Christian country and a free State.
The SECRETARY then read the report, which commenced
with a tribute of respect to the services of the late Mr. W.
Allen, the Treasurer, and announced that Mr. S. Gurney had
accepted that office. During the past year 781 boys and 450
girls had been admitted into the parent school in the Bo-
rough-road. The total number received since the commence-
ment were-27,140 boys, and 16,162 girls ; total, 43,303. The
normal schools were represented to be in a state of great effi-
ciency. The report then adverted to the Society's foreign
operations in France, Russia, Greece, Belgium, Sweden, Ca-
nada, Africa, the East and West Indies, &c.
Mr. S. GURNEY read the financial statement; the receipts
of the year (including her Majesty's annual subscription of
1001., and 1001. donation from the Fishmongers' Company),
amounted to 1,081/. ls. There was a balace of 6041. in favour
of the Society at the beginning of the year, to meet liabilities
amounting to 8401.
Lord MONTEAGLE moved the adoption of the report. The
principle wisely adopted by the Society was to afford the
means of education without the compromise of conscientious
feeling. They were only following out, in that respect, the
fundamental principles of the Reformation. No man was
called upon to surrender the right of private judgment, but so
to use his privileges as not to offend the judgment of others.
Sir C. LitaioN, in seconding the motion, observed that
there was one part of the report in which he did not agree.
It was said that a system of national and combined education
Was hopeless. He trusted that such a system would yet
prevail.
The Rev. G. CLAYTON moved the next resolution, expres-
' sive of congratulation at the extensive efforts made by the
different denominations of Christians i 4 favour of elementary
education. He was not disposed to treat education in the
light of a denominational question. The ministers of religion,
no matter of what teed, were not likely to have worse hearers
from the enlightenment of the people. He trusted that he
should live to see one general system, without any compro-
raise.of the rights of conscience. Sectarianism was bad eaough
in adults, but the young snould not be made to regard each
other with antipathy.
Mr. J. SiIEPIIERD seconded the motion.
The Rev. W. Anraun, in moving the next resolution,
pledging the meeting to increased efforts for the promotion of
education in foreign countries, and in the British colonies
more especially, entered into details relating to the state of
education in British India, where he stated that the grossest
ignorance prevails.
The Rev. A. SHURMAN, from Benares, who seconded the
motion, bore testimony to the degraded state of ignorance in
the Indian empire.
The Rev. J. BURNET moved that the respectful thanks of
the meeting be accorded to her Majesty for her gracious pa-
tronage of the Society, and to his Royal Highness Prince
Albert for his munificent donation. The Rev. Gentleman
said that the Church had offered to take the trouble of edu-
cating the people off the Society's hands; but as they had
preferred adhering to the voluntary principle, it was the duty
of the Society to exert itself in that good cause. He was nut
inclined to blame Sir James Graham for having set them the
task; but the State would have ajust right to condemn them
should they leave the country uneducated.
Sir E. CoDRINGTON seconded the motion.
Mr. D. BARCLAY, M.P., moved a vote of thanks to his
Grace the Duke of Bedford, as President of the Society, and
to Lord John Russell for taking the chair on that occasion.
Mr. W. TOOKE seconded the motion, which was carried by
acclamation.
Lord J. RUSSELL acknowledged the compliment, and the
meeting separated.

METROPOLITAN IMPROVE-
MENTS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
If the improvements taking place in the east end of the
metropolis are to be continued to the narrow streets of
Wapping, the sooner they aro commenced the better for the
respectable portion of the neighbourhood. Since the re-
moval of the business of the old Thames Police-office, another
wharf has been erected near this spot, the approaches to
which are very narrow, and this place presents a continuous
scene of disgraceful disturbance. On Saturday, during the
forenoon, the thoroughfare was completely blocked up, and a
hackney cab was overturned upon the pavement. The
swearing and abusive language of the sabmen and
others was so shameful, that the children and all juvenile
members of society, who always congregate on those occa-
sions, cannot faillto be dreadfully demoralised by such conduct.
Surely there ought to be some efficient remedy found for
the increasing evil. Should not the wharfingers be sailed
upon to abate the nuisance ? Or is it not a duty on the part
of the parochial authorities to call upon the Commissioners
of Polite to attend to the removal of it ?

Bras Tor., 3,lo>rDAv.—lnformation has just reached this
city of the loss of the above vessel, plying between this city
and Newport. The Severn and the Avon are two new vessels
lately put on the station by a new company, Messrs. Stothert,
Slaughter, and Co. They were propelled by the Archime-
dian screw, and by high pressure engines, and they have
only been running about three weeks. It is necessary to
explain that there is a very strong current setting in with
the tide at the spot where the Severn was moored, near the
Newport bridge in the river Usk, and it is customary to
swing round the head of the vessel as soon as her cargo is
discharged, in order to be read for steaming off with the tide,
but on this occasion such precaution was not adopted, owing
to there being so 'little water in the river on the arrival
of the vessel, that she took to the ground before her
cargo could be got out. Whilst she lay in the river a new
screw was substituted fur the old one, and that only a few
minutes before the vessel attempted to get under way, the
screw was all clear, but on the captain giving the word of
command to " reverse" the engine, and almost at the same
moment to "let go the stern rope," it was found that the
screw would not act. The vessel was, therefore, drifted
rapidly with the tide, and in a few minutes struck against
the sharp angle of the bridge, which made a " dent" in the
bow ; the water began to flow in, and the pumps were set
to work, but she rebounded, and again struck broadside
against the bridge with such farce, that it was almost mira-
culous she did not turn right over. The sceenne

THAMES ANGLING PRESERVATION SOCIETY.
Yesterday the annual meeting of the members of this So-
ciety, whic,l has for its object the preservation of the fishing
in the river Thames, was held at the Freemasons' Tavern,
Great Queen-street. Henry Perkins, Esq., presided. The
report read by the Secretary stated that much had been ef-
fected during the year towards carrying out the objects of
the Society, and that through the exertions of the bailiffs ten
convictions had taken place for illegal trespasses, &c. It
appeared that the total receipts for 1843 were 130/. 10s. ; and
for 1844, 228/. 10s. 6d. The financial statement for his
former year was not read at the last annual meeting, in con-
sequence of the absence of the treasurer. It appears that
there is at present a balance against the Society of 661. 10s. sd.
After the usual business the meeting separated.

A singular case of bigamy has been discovered in
Liverpool. A married woman, named Mar6ret M'Neal,
living with her husband,, got married with his consent,
about three years ago, to their lodger, named Michael De-
vinne, and they have since lived happily all together. The
woman when taken into custody had a Child in her arms.
THE MONSTER BELL.—Subscriptions amounting
to about 800/. have been received towards the great bell
at York, which is to be christened the Great Peter Bell.
It is to weigh ten tons and not eight, as at first intended.
A gentleman subscriber has offered an additional sub-
scription of 11. for every cwt. above eight tons,
more to
con-
sequently by this alteration he will have
pity.—Leed,s Times.
