We understand that the venerable Bishop of Norwich
attended at the House of Lords on Friday last, with the
'view of presenting a petition from that town in favour of
the Jews ; and that, not having received the petition, in
consequence of some unexpected delay in dispatching it,
he honoured Mr. Goldamid with a visit, at Champion
Hill, on the following day, in order to express his regret
that he was obliged immediately to leave London, and
would thus be deprived of au opportunity publicly to
express his anxiety for the complete success of the mea-
sure brought by Mr. Grant before Parliament.
Friday evening, about eight o'clock, a serious and
most distressing accident occurred in M'Alpine-street,
Anderton, Glasgow, in the yard of Mr. Neilson, boiler-
maker there. A number of heavy iron bars were resting
on a thin brick wall fronting the street, at the side of
which a number of children were playing. In the course
of their play one of them had made a stone strike the
window of a shop in the neighbourhood, and the shop-
keeper came out to frighten them. On this all of them
but two ran off, and, at the very instant, down came the
wall with the heavy iron rods on the top of the two
children who were sitting below, and who were crushed
to death. A long time elapsed before they were extri-
cated, and the confusion and anxiety which was created
in the neighboorhood was immense. Females were run-
ning in all directions in search of their children, all un-
certain whose it might be who were buried in the ruins.
It was at last discovered that the two sufferers were two
boys, one seven and the other nine years of age, belong-
ing to a coach-driver of the name of *Neil, at present
out of a situation, and who has, within the last few
weeks, buried the eldest of his family.

A SPRIG OF ROTAL;I( T3T 115;;;;;zse.—Yesterday, ,ti:,
Wilmot, a good-looking young man, 23 years of age, was brui,o,
before Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN, having been found in a state u
destitution in the streets.

A watchman of Cripplegate stated that about two o'clock %e,.
terday morning, he found the prisoner sitting on the steps of a L.,.
in Fore-street, when he ordered him to move on ; but the prisuL,,
declared he had no place to shelter himself in, and if he did mos.
on it was only to seat himself on the steps of some ether d 0,,,. Th
watchman asked him who be was P To which he replied this h.
was the son of no kis a than her Royal Highne.% tht
Princess Olive of Cumber al receiving this informatiol, th,,
night guardian deemed the least respect he could pay to royalty
to accommodate her royal highness's son with a lodging inch,

Alderman Warruseax asked him if it were true that he was t I .
son of the celebrated Princess Olive?

The prisoner replied that it was, and produced one of her roya,
highness's pamphlets, with which he had been presented by Stock.
dale, the publishes.
The alderman expressed his doubts of the fact ; but one of th,
marahalmen said that he recollected when the prisoner was brought
to the Mansion-house some time ago. On that occasion he made
the same statement, and, it being inquired into, it was aseertaine,.
that the prisoner really was the person whom he represented him.
self to be.

Alderman Waithman asked him how he had been getting Ls
living hitherto?
He replied that he had been to sea, but, one voyage to India
having effectually cured him of all penchant for " ploughing on the
deep," he supported himself with hawking about a placard for the
Weekly Dispeseek. This kind of itinerant advertising getting oat
of fashion the placard was laid aside. After which he engaged with.
one Adams, the master of an equestrian corps, with whom he wen.
to the Irish metropolis. He filled the situation of property-lad I
the company while they performed in Dublin ; but Adams broke up
his establishment there, and proceeded with his equestrians on a tow
through the south of Ireland, performing in public for 'hater--
they could get. However, when they were at Mallow, the famous
watering-town in the county Cork, poor Wilmot was discharged,
there being no property to look after. This was on the Bth o;
March last, and since that time he has been making the best of his
way to London.
Alderman AVASITEX/SW—lf the Princess Olive be your mother,
how does it happen you do not go by her name ?
Prisoner—l am an iltimate son of her's, and was born during
a separation from her husband. My father was a captain in the
guards, but was killed at Waterloo. While he lived he provide!
for me ; when he was killed I was left entirely destitute.
Alderman Warrumax—Why don't you apply to your mother'
Prisoner—She won't own me, nor can I discover where site liver.
I applied to Mr. Stockdale, the bookseller, who gave me tire pant.
phlet, but he refused to tell me where to find her. If any doubt
exists u to the fact of my being her son it will be at once removed
by an application to the medical man who attended my mother i.
the Isle of Wiffitt.
Alderman 'el arruseart—Have you no parish to apply to?
Prisoner—l am entirely ignorant in what parish I was born.
Aldermen WAITHMAX—We have no funds from which I could
assist you, but I think if you were industrious you might be able a-,
got something to do.
Prisoner—l assure you, sir, that my distress arises from no want
of exertion on my part to get a living. I may have faults, to b.
sure, and the principal one was to indulge a passion for the see,
contrary to the wishes of my foster parents, by which I lost then
countenance and protection.
Alderman WAITIIMAN—You ought to try and get some one !,,
recommend you, and you may be able to get a situation in the no.
police, for which your appearance would qualify you. It were bet.
ter for you to do anything, even clean boots and shoes.—(prole on.
dor ! a princess's son ! )—than starve.
The unfortunate young man, whose conduct while at the bar
created an impression in his favour, having neither shoes nor stock.
togs, an order was given fors pair at the Compeer. The Aldernia:.
gave him a few shillings and desired him to call at the office again.
when he would speak to some of his brother Aldermen and try it
they could do something for him.
BOW-STREET.
Yesterday morning Pkrenee Donovan, a laughing Irish hodman.
was brought up before Mr. HALLS by Mr. Thomas, the superin.
tendent of police, charged with having been concerned in the murder
of a female named Catherine Bryan, at a place called Boynedagh, is
' the county of Cork, perpetrated between 15 and 16 years ago.
Mr. Thomas stat 4 that he had caused the prisoner to be taken
into custody that morning in consequence of information which he
had received from a young Irishman named Jeremiah Bryan, who
stated himself to be nephew to the murdered woman, and that ti:e
prisoner was the man who committed the deed.
Jerry Bryan, a raw Corkoalan, here stepped forward to dechre
that the prisoner at the bar had " kilt" his aunt.
Mr. ILtans—How do you know that P
" Why, then," said Jerry, " I don't know it of my own know.
barin I'm towld so by a man what does know it."
Mr. HALLS—Can you bring that man forward?
Jerry said he could.
Mr:HALLS then directed that Florence should be detained
further inquiry should have been made.
Florence—Your wortship may do wid me just as you plebe. to;
I'm innocent, and I don't care who knows it ; but it's a hard cast
to be taken away from work at the New University.
Jerry, being father interrogated by the magistrate, stated that
the name of the murderer of his aunt undoubtedly was Florence
Donovan. He war living at the time as servant to a gentleman in
the neighbourhood, but absconded immediately after the murder :
and, although a reward of 501. was offered for his apprehension,
tale or tidings could be learned of him until the present time.

and John Hattie*, the first about 16 years of age, who is lame, act:
walks with a crutch, the second 13 years old,were charged yesterday
by Mr. Jones, the silversmith in CarobllL, with robbing him of 3
child's silver cup. value 335.
Mr. Jones stated that on that day fortnight the prisoners came
into his shop, and asked to look at a silver thimble. He was bus)
in serving a lady who purchased a child's silver cup. Three cups.
which the lady had rejected, were standing on the counter. His
thopman attended to the prisoners, who, after looking at the thim-
ble, went away without buying h. Soon after they were gone h:
missed one of the cups.
Reynolds, the high-constable of Whitechapel, said he met tit:
prisoners that morning, and from information which he had re-
ceived apprehended them and sent for 31r. Jones, who identif.ed
them as the lads who robbed hint.
The younger prisoner (Daniels,) who seemed perfectly at ease
about the matter, said that fir. Jones stated the robbery was com-
mitted a fortnight ago. lie had not been out of Newgate a for.
night.
Mr. Jones said he could speak positively as to the lame prison:l
(Hopkins,) but not to the other. He had no doubt, however, b..
that he belonged to a gang of thieves who had visited his shop s:-
veral times, and he had lost many valuable articles by their .s•
pertness.
Reynolds said that numerous robberies had been committed ultc.,
various shopkeepers by the prisoners, and if time were allowe,i,
sufficient evidence could be advanced to convict them both.
Mr. Maio 'nett ordered them to be remanded until next Wed-
nesday.
The prisoners were dressed in the most superb stile, and are welt
known to the police. Their depredations have been very extensive.
especially upon watchmakers and jewellers.
