' Charles Garner, a parish beadle, stated that since th
prisoner had absconded every effort had been made to trace
his retreat, but without success, until about a week ago,
' when it was ascertained that he had established himself in
business at Exeter, where he was living under the assumed
name of Brown, in cohabitation with the woman with whom
he had eloped. Witness accordingly proceeded to that
place with a warrant for his apprehension, and on his ar-
rival was directed to a well-stocked mercer's shop, with the
name "Brown" inscribed over the front; and after waiting
' some time the prisoner made his appearance with a quantity
of goods he had just purchased. The witness immediately
addressed him by his real name, and charged him with
abandoning his wife and children in London ; but the pri-
soner, with affected indignation, declared that he was mis-
. taken, as he had been in business in Exeter for many years,
I and threatened him with the severest consequences if he
ventured to act upon the false information he had received.
Witness, however, was so positive as to his identity, that lie
. at once took the prisoner into custody, and brought him to
. town, when he was immediately recognised as the person who
had absconded.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that when he
left home it was his full intention to return to his wife and
family as soon as possible, but having been seized in the
country with a rheumatic fever, he was reduced to such a
state cf destitution, that he had not the means of carrying
out his design. He was now both ready and willing to enter
into an arrangment to relieve the parish of the burden of sup-
porting his family, and would defray all the expenses that
had been incurred in their behalf.
Mr.BROTIGIITON said that a more heartless and profligate
case of desertion had never come before him, and he
should be wanting in his duty to the public if he did not •
visit it with adequate punishment.. He should, therefore,
convict the prisoner of being an idle and disorderly person,
and commit him forthwith to the House of Correction for
one month's hard labour, and at the expiration of that period,
the parish authorities might still proceed against him fer
the amount of their claims.
THAMES.
A POLITICIAN.—Paddy Donnelly, a broad-shouldered,
big-featured, son of the sod, who, though 35 years in this
country, is quite as vivid in his political feelings, ns when
recens tmbutus, was charged with assaulting police-con-
stable Mumford, 207 C, whilst in the execution of his duty.
Mumford stated that about ten o'clock on the previous
night, as he was going through Cannon-street, St. George's
in the East, he heard cries of " Murder," " Police," which,
on coming up, he found proceeded from the prisoner. He
said, " I am a constable ; what do you want ?" But the
prisoner continued his cry, and created such a disturbance
that witness was compelled to take him to the station- house.
On arriving there, the prisoner, without any provocation,
gave him a blow in the mouth, which cut his lip, and made
him look down his nose, as if he had stolen a hammer, say-
ing, " Take that, you Orangeman." :
Mr. BALLANTINE—Mby, Mumford, I think you're an
Englishman ?
Mumford—l am, your Worship. •
Mr. BALLANTINE—Then it is not likely that you'd indulge
in any of these silly disturbances.
~.........A
Done] ly—Paith then did he, your Worship. Arrah, was'nt ,
it himself that made me cry murder? There, this is the iva3:,4,.
~,.4,
of it. film and me had some little talk about politics, whenX-
he took something amiss, and began to pummel me right and ':.
left. May be I had no right to cry out murder afther I
was kilt.
Mr. BALLArrrsiz—lf you are well advised, Mr. Donelly,
you'll abstain from political discussions. The subject is rather
too exciting for the generality of your countrymen.
Donelly—l had the best of the argument, and that's the
raison he struck me. Shure any one that was kilt that way
would cry out murder..
Mr. BALLANTINE—I cannot believe your statement. As I
observed before, Mumford is not aware of the silly disturb-
ance to which you allude, and for the assault on the con-
stable I shall send you to the House of Correction for four-
teen days.
Paddy was led from the dock with the conscious dignity
of a political martyr who is proud to suffer from the avowal
of his opinion.

A CRIMPING COMMITTEE.-- William Fieldgate, a lodging-
house keeper for sailors, and a dealer in their advance notes,
was charged with stealing a suit of clothes, the property of
a Jersey lad. The case, in all its phases, showed the impo-
sitions to which seamen are at present liable from the par-
ties with whom they have to deal during their short so-
journs ashore.

It appeared from the evidence, that on Saturday three
weeks the prosecutor left the Jersey Lass, and went to lodge
with the prisoner, at 41, Lower Grove. street, St. George- in-
the-East, taking his kit with him. He stayed there three
weeks and two days, during which time he gave the pri-
oner the whole balance of his wages, amounting to 41.175. 6d.,
and an advance note for 2/. 55., which he received on joining
another vessel called the Cumberland. When his bag was
sent on board the Cumberland, he missed the suit of clothes
for which the prisoner had paid 4s. 6d. out of the money ad-
vanced by the prosecutor. He asked the prisoner for them
on Sunday, when the latter said he had pawned them for
145., alleging that the 4/. 17s. 6d. cash, and the advance note
for 2/. 55., did not make them square as to the clothee, diet,
and lodging. On Thursday evening again the prosecutor de-
manded his clothes, but the prisoner, who was standing at
his door, which was elevated by two steps, gave him a kick
in the mouth. He was then given to a constable on the pre-
sent charge,
Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the defence, said the pro-
secutor had given his client permission to pledge the clothes
for abalance due for board and lodging, as well as for cash
advanced at different times. a
This, however, was denied by the prosecutor, who said he
never gave him leave to pawn the articles, nor had he received
any cash.
Mr. Pelham said if, es he would call evidence to prove, his
client had taken the clothes, the case was the same as if a
landlord distrained for rent.

Mr. BALLANTINE—Not exactly, for in this case your client
has broken bulk and pawned the articles. In any case which
looks like a felony, where these lodging-house keepers are
conceme,l, I shall certainly send it for trial. A law will soon
come into operation which will act as some check upon them,
by compelling them to take out licences.
The fact of pawning was fully proved against the prisoner,
who was committed for trial; Mr. Ballantine observing that
there was one peculiarity connected with it, namely, that as
the prosecuter, being a witness, could not join his ship, the
advance note became valueless.

The ship's husband applied to know whether he could
not have the prosecuter committed to hard labour for thirty
days for not joining the Cumberland, but the idea was
scouted.

The tailor who sold the clothes (not worth 21.) for 41. 6s.
then presented himself, and asked to have evidence heard for
the prisoner ; but Mr. Ballantine told him a jury must deter-
mine the merits of the case.
The prisoner was then removed, with permission to put in
bail, himself in RI. and two sureties of 4.01. each.

O PENING OF THE NEW PUSEYITE
CHURCH IN LEEDS.
The Puseyites are next week to commence a new
and forward movement in this town. It is known
that through some munificent donations of persons at a
distance, a church has been built in Leeds, of a very costly
and splendid architecture, and bearing many of the features
of the churches prior to the Reformation ; and that it is
designed as a model of the churches approved by the highest
Puseyitos, and as an exhibition of the modes of worship
and of the doctrines approved by that sect of Oxford
churchmen. The name given to this church by its un-
known founder was very significant of the al-
liance between Puseyite and Romish doctrine,
being that of the church of the Holy Cross. But
the Bishop of Ripon, notwithstanding his timid caution,
positively objected to consecrate a church bearing
that name ; and it has therefore been changed for the
name of St. Saviour's church—which title to us un-
learned Dissenters, has always appeared very absurd,
and as designed either to reduce the Saviour to the rank
of the Saints, or more probably elevate the Saints to
the dignity of the Saviour.

St. Saviour's Church, however, is, according to the
official announcement, to be consecrated by " the Lord
Bishop of Ripon," " on the ensuing Feast of St. Simon
and St. Jude ;" which be it known to those who are not
learned in Saints' days, falls upon the 28th of October.
And though the Lord Bishop is to preach in the morning
a sermon whichwill doubtless be quite inoffensive, there is to
come on in the evening of the day the Apostle of
Anglo-Catholicism or Semi-Popery, the Rev. E. B.
Pusey, D.D., of Oxford. All the world knows that
this gentleman was suspended from preaching for two
years, by the University of Oxford, for his sermon
on the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, which made
the doctrine of the Church of England, according
to his interpretation, hardly distinguishable from the
Romish doctrine of Transubstantiation. All the
world knows, too, that Dr. Pusey was the colleague of
the Rev. Mr. Newman and the Rev. Mr. Ward, writers in
the Tracts for the Times, both of whom, with several
others of the school, have since openly left the Church
of England and joined the Church of Rome. To Evan-
gelical Dissenters of every class the doctrines held by
Dr. Pusey, and propagated by him with ardent zeal, ap-
pear to contain all the essential qualities of Popery, and
to make a very near approach to an acknowledgment of
the Roman Church as the true and infallible church.
The real closeness of the connexion between Dr. Pusey's
Anglo-Catholicism and absolute Roman Catholicism, is
evident from thn fact, that so many of the ablest cham-
pions of the former system have found themselves com-
pelled by their own principles to go all the way to Rome.
Several of the Evangelical clergymen in this town are
so scandalized by the bringing of Dr. Pusey, and by the
outrage which they conceive to be committed on the
Protestant feelings of the country, that they have de-
clined to attend the Bishop at the consecration of a new
church. Of course Dr. Hook is not one of this number.

We perceive from the official announcement of the
services at the consecration, that a series of services is
to be kept up for seven days, on every oneEof which (ex-
cept Sunday, Nov. 2) they are as follows :—" At 7 A.M.,
Prayers ; at half-past 10 A.M., Holy Communion and
Sermon ; at 3 P.M., Prayers ; and at half-past 7 P.M.,
Prayers and Sermon."
If the above chruch had been one avowedly Roman
Catholic; we should not have noticed the fact, ex-
cept as a mere article of news, however much we
might lament the spread of those doctrines. But
believing, as we do, that Puseyism is Popery in
disguise and treason to Protestantism, we feel not only
solemn regret, but that indignation which disguise
and treason naturally provoke. We regard this new
Church in the light in which we believe all Evangelical
persons in and out of the Establishment look upon it,
namely, as an edifice from which substantial Popery is
to be diffused by public and private efforts, in the struc-
ture itself, and from house to house, through the town
and the country.—Leeds Aro cury.
