CHARGY: OR UTTERING BASK COIN--ASAULTOII A POLS=
OFFEER.—Thomas Powfall, an lriantuan, was kausght before
Mr. Hall, on Saturday, charged with Laving uttered a counter-
feit shilling to Mrsa Cross, a publican. Mrs. Cross stated, that,
on the pteceding evening, the prisoner entered her house, and
(ailed for twopennyworth of gin. He gave her half-a-ctown,
and requested to have the change returned. Mrs. Cross said she
had a strong suspicion, that the prisoner was about to practise
some dishonesty, as he had, last ThiiiSday, passed a bad shilling
to her, under circumstances nearly similar to 'those which she
was about to detail. She gave the• prisoner change as 14
desired. He took the money from 'her hand, and, observing
that there were two shillings in silver, andfoorpence in copper,
Said, I would rather have the two shillings in,eOpper, if yott
please." With these words he laid two shillings on the, table.
She immediately saw that one of those shillings was aleal one,
which he had substituted fur a good one whirl) she had given
hire. She exclaimed, "Oh ! you rogue !—I have caught you,
have I ? You want to do the again, as you did on Thursday."
She seized his hand, and, being a powerful woman, she suc-
ceeded in getting it open, when she found the fourpence in cop-
per and a good shilliog. She immediately called police-officer
Bishop, and gave the prisoner intircustody. Mr. Hall inquired
what, had become; of the bad shilling which the prisoner bad
paid her on Thursday; wben it turned out, that she bad, unfor-
tunately, thrown it into the fire, for tear of any mistake. It is
in all cases doubtful wither the Mint will prosecute where only
one piece of coin can be proved to have been passed by a pri-
soner. While Mr. Hall was deliberating as to the course to be
pursued, Bishop said, that he bad sustained a -violent assault
from the prisoner. The latter, the officer said, went' quietly
enough for about a twitched yards, when he suddenly threw him
to the ground, and endeavoured to effect his escape. Witness,
however, stuck fast to him: but, the prisener being a powerful
man, knocked bins down several times, kicked him, and even
severely bit his hand. As a second magistrate had taken his
seat, Mr. Hall determined to punish the prisoner for thearisault.
In reply to the charge, the prisoner said, the officer had struck
him with his stick. Bishop said, that until the prisoner had
knocked him down he was walking very peaceably, and be had
no occasion to strike him ; afterwards, when be found the pri,
soner abusing him so.severely, he canlessed he had struck lan.
'There was no other officer at hand, and he believed that the
prisoner would have hurt him still more severely. had not two
gentlemen come forward and assisted to rescue him. He
(Bishop) then called a car, and iu that manner took the pri-
soner to Bridewell. The prisoner, on hearing this, said, in
respect to the bad shilling, he knew not that he had it about
him. The assault be hoped Mr. Hall would look over, as he
was intoxicated at the time. Mr. Hall said, this was no excuse,
and the offence was not one that could be looked over. The
officer was taking him very properly, and when officers wero
doing their duty they should be protected as far as possible from
aggressions of this desciiption. The prisoner ass ordered to
pay a fine of £2 and costs, or, in default of payment, to be
committed to the Borough House of Correction for one month.
As the prisoner was leaving the dock, Mr, Hall told him, that
the punishment for the assault could not affect the tither case,
which would await the decision of the Mint.

A PICKPOCKET. - Martin Hagan, a lad, aged about fourteen
years, was placed before Mi. Hall, on Saturday, charged by
Mr. Superintendent M•anial I. The latter stated, that on the
preceding day he was passing along Marylebone, wh"n he sail'
the prisoner and another lad walking behind a gentleman. The
prisoner advanced cautiously to the gentleman, and, taking
hold of his coat tails, lifted them up, and tried what was in the
pockets. The Superintendent went forward and seized him.
The other lad,' seeing this, ran away. On hearing this, the
prisoner loudly and impudently exclaimed, " It's false, gentle-
men. Ile's took a false oath. I never did nothin' o' the sort.
He has a spite agin' me ; because one day, when he cotch'd
me, I run away from him, and he cotild'ut find me. I never
did none sitch a thing in my life." Mr. Parkinson, the keeper
of Bridewell, said, the prisoner was a 11108 t notorious thief, and
had but just been disdiarged from Kirkdale Gaol. The pri-
soner was ordered back to triS old quarters for a term of three
months " Crikey !"! said• he, as he left the dock, "I shan't
see the Queen's ceownation !" •

- THEFT Br AN ERRAND-BOY.—Thomas Appleton, aged about
14 years,'Was, on Saturday, placed before Mr. Hall, charged
with having robbed his master, Mr. Hauck, furrier, Bold-
street, of, three sable. skins. It appeared. that the prisoner was
taken into the service of Mr. Hauck, on Tuesday last, the latter•
having received him without making any inquiry respecting
his character. On Wednesday the prisoner called upon a Mr.
Caldwell, a fur dresser, residing in Crosshall-street, and offered
for sale three sable skins. Mr. Caldwell inquired how much he
asked for them : the lad replied, ten-pence a-piece. As Mr.
Caldwell knew that they. were, worth more than ten times that
scrfri, he became suspicious. to try the youth. he asked him if
sixpence each would not satisfy him. The, prisoner agreed to
take sixpence each for the skins. Mr. Cardwell asked him if
he had any more : he replied, that he could procure more. Mr.
Caldwell then paid him fdr those which he had brought, and
told him to come again with. some more, and he would give him
a goon price for them. As soon ris the boy had departed, Mr.
Caldwell conceived that he (the boy had not procured the
skins honestly, and went out ' with the determination of dis-
covering the owner, if possible. He called at the shop of Mr.
Hauck, and there saw the prisoner; whom he immediately re-
cognised. He informed Mr. Hauck what had occurred, and
showed rim the skins. Mr. Hauck immediately. knew that
they had been taken from his stuck, though he had not pre-
viously missed them. The three skins were stated.tO be worth
40s. The prisoner was committed for trial at the neat borough
sessions. ,
EXCHANGE No ROBBERY —Yesterday at the police-office, an'
Irishman ii-imed Kelly, was placed at the bar charged with
having robbed a young man on Saturday night of his hat, con-
taining a pair of stockings. The complainant stated that on:
Saturday night he was walking along Whitechapel, when thitt
prisoner came behind him and seized his hat off his head and
ran away with it, at the same time throwing his own hat into
the street ; in his hat crown he had a pair of stockings. A
liceman stated that seeing the prisoner running, and hearing
the complainant shouting after him, he gave him chase, and
with some difficulty apprehended him with the complainant's
hat on, containing the stockings. lie also produced the hat
which the prisoner had thrown away, which, as may be ima-
gined, was a most " shocking bad hat." When asked what he
had to say in defence, the prisoner said—" Why, I passed him
in Whitechapel wid a young woman on'his harram, and said be
was a pretty sort ov a chap to be duin' in dhat way, an' he
called me a prig an' tould me to be aff, an' wid drat struck me
and-knocked affane hat. an' I struck him an' knocked aff his
hat, an' he shouted out pelise, an' I picked up_a hat which I
thought was my own, an' ran away.' Mr. Hall—"A very
likely story. There might have been a mistake ie. there had
been no stockings in the hat. The informations for his trial at
the sessions were ordered to be taken.

FURIOUS DnlVlNG.—Yesterdkiy at the police-office, a young
man named Samuel Robinson, who stated that he was a clerk
out of employment, was placed before the magistrates charged
with furiously driving a gig through the streets whilst in estate
of intoxication, and running over a child. A policeman stated
that on Saturday night the prisoner was drunk and furiously
driving a gig in the streets, and ran over a child and seriously,
injured it. When taken to Bridewell be had behaved very
riotously and broken three windows. The prisoner said
he pulled up as soon as ever he could. The prisoners mother
here stood up and said she had seen the child, and the injury it
bad received was very trifling. Its leg was only bruised, but
the skin was not off. Mr. Hall—A very trivial injury was it?
Mother—Oh, very trivial ; and he called to the child; but it
was too young to get out of the way. Mr. Hall—Perhaps you
will make it out that the child was drunk and not the prisoner ?
lie must pay 40s. and costs, and in default of payment be com-
mitted for one month to the Borough Jail. . .

REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS.—The usual notices to wither
having a qualification to vote in the election of members for
the Riding, whoie names do not at present appear on the regis-
ter, to make a claim have been issued by the Overseers, in com-
pliance with Ihe provisions or the Reform Act. Parties interested.
must make their claims before the 20th July, and on presenting
it must pay one shilling to the Overseer. Borough electors will
do well to remember, that all rates due on the 6th of April must
be paid before the 20th July, or their names will not appearon
the forthcoming register.
A CIIKAP Rtost.—One Samuel Meredith, a. labourer at War-
riegton, at a time when he was in his cups, bad a mind for a
ride from Newton races;—accordingly, taking advantage of the
temporary stoppage of a luggage train at the Newton Junction—
he caught hold with both hands on the top board at the back of
the last waggon, and, thus suspended, rode some three Miles on
the Grand Junctibu line. On Wednesday last, he appeared be-
fore the magistrates to answer for his folly—a moderate fine only,
was inflicted; but the ride must be considered dirt cheap when
we state, that independently of the risk be ran of breaking hie
neck, he hail twenty-three shillings to pay for the trespass.-7
Manchester Courier. •
'The crank axle of the " Shark" locomotive engine, which
set out for Liverpool with the eight o'clock train on Friday
morning, broke near the Junction at Newton. No accident
occurred, and the Vixen engine having been procured from the.
Warrington station, the passengers were forwarded to Birming-
ham after something like an hour's delay.
The rain which fell so generally throughout this country
during the week, has dono considerable injury to the grass
meadows. The Edinburgh mail, owing to the breaking down
of a bridge on the Warrington side of Wigan, did not arrive'
in time for the train on Tuesday evening. and consequently the
bags were not forwarded until the next morning.
WanniNGToN.—,Nearlv ten thousand pounds weight of beef
has already been provided fur the entertainment of the poor
inhabitants of Warrington on the coronation day. Each person
is to receive a pint of ale and a good dinner. It is expected
that about two thousand will dine in the Cloth Hall. The com-
mittee have also determined upon giving threepence each to
three thousand Sunday and National School children, who walk
in procession on the occasion.

CAUTION TO RAILWAY PASSENGERS.—OD Tuesday after \
noon, Mr. Chorley, the treasurer to the Grand Junction
way Company, made an attempt to get into a coach just as the
train was on the move from the Warrington.station—his foot
slipped, and his life was placed in the greatest jeopardy. For-
tunately, he escaped with the loss of One toe, alid the injury of
two others.

How To WIN A RACE:—John M'Connell, a laboUrer, em-
ployed at the St. Helen's glass works, was on Monday brought
before the magistrates at Warrington petty sessions, to answer
a charge preferred against him by Mr. Owen, the constable of
Newton. It appeared that the prisoner, and two other men,
were at Newton race course on Friday, and that they having
backed the Earl of Derby's horse rather too freely, were fearful
of the result. Seeing their favourite loosing fast, they set a dog,
at the heels of- the other horse, which Lit it severely, and was
nearly the meausiof unseating the jockey. Mr. Lyonicautiened
the prisoner against a repetition of such disgraceful conduct,
and on it being proved that he was intoxicated, ordered him to
pay a fine of five shillings to the poor of Newton parish.
OEoLOGICA DISCOVERY.—An interesting geological speci-
man has just been discovered, at the depth of 37 feet below the
surface -of the rock, in the new red sandstone of Storton-hill
quarries, four miles from Birkenhead, in Cheshire. It is a
series of impressions of footsteps. in relief, of an extinct animal.
called by Professor Caup the Cherotherium, the existence of
which, in,former ages, has been known only from similar marks
having been found. .The impressions bear a strong resem-
blance to the human hand. Mr. Toinkinson, the lessee of the
quarry, on being made aware of the value of the slabs on which
these marks appear, has, in the most liberal' manner, not only,
given one up,.withoot charge, to the Natural History Society
of this town, but will convey it to its destination at his Own ex-
pense. He purposes, also, to send another to the Loudon
Geological Society. Professor Buck land has given an account,
I illustrated by engravings, in his Bridgewater Treatise, vol t,
p. 263, of the impreisions of footsteps of the same extinct
animal discovered in the qirarries Hessberg, Saxony. The
slab of sandetone is in the British Museum. • ,

So has the Church retained her place,
And nobly Babel's storms withstood; .
And still shall stand, by covenant grace,
Though all her stones be bat/i'd in blood.
Firm as the everlasting hills.

Mr. Villiers last night affected to treat w•ith.contempt
,Thein:erest even expressed for the factory children, by
Lord Ashley, and ,other conservative gentlemen ! If
they really pitied the poor, these gentlemen would re-
peal thecorn-laws!

And if the corn laws were repealed to-morrow, the
condition of the factory children, and of all who live by
thesale of their labour, would be rendered, beyond com-
parison. more miserable than it is. Cheap corn is to be
the preliminary to what Mr. Villiers would deem cheap
latrbrir; and Heaven knows, that in England labour is
Id° cheap already. ! But Mr. Villiers is a regular Sara-;

inanition, the natural result of blood-letting and a water

(Flom the ifunchexter Courier.)

try it fiouession of the following important inforrna-
tide 7.-

" We 'have learned with pleasure that her majesty's minis-
tf-rilltiVioffere, to appoint Mr. O'Connell Chief Baron of the

I,,nd; broth which app iintments will give great satisfaction."
We cannot for a moment permit ourselves to doubt,
the accuracy of the statement contained in the first pa,-
-ragraph 'Of the foregoing extract,. corning as it does front
a journA.that has contrived to .place itself in the confi-.
dence of the ministry. 'But, in what a contemptible
.poiatt, of does it place a body. of men, who, for the
last three years, hue industriously laboured to spew,
!that their connection with the Irish mendicant. agitator
has consisted only in thevoluntary support which he.has
•chils-en to render them. Here is a man who has actually
been branded by the British Haase of Commons as a
common liar and slanderer Offered one of the highestiu-
dicial otr:_es that can be confer red on a British subject ;.
and thus the nation is insulted .through its represents-
-tives—and by whom? By a parcel-of the most misera-
bleep(' contemptible drabs that ever tarnished the ho-,
noticof a great ,and powerful people—by, a .clique of
insignificant pretenders, who have been all but
voted a 'r,Ablic nuisance.
We been very .:exactly informed, on authority
171.“'ehre cannot question, that Lord Melbourne has la-
k. !,..and still takes, every opportunity that presents it-
• r`; disown anything like a connection with •O'Con-
It, yet veil nigh before the announcement has cooled
• our cars, we learn that, "with bated breath and
hun:bleness," the--cabinet of which he him-
se rlii,leacler, has solicited the- mean and low-bred agi-
tatorto.a.ccepra high and valuable appointment. Is it
p-eaibl that my Lord Melbourne.can have acquiesced in
tht:-%-oceetling ? Is it- .possible,thst his,deep-mouthed
an.i .-,stentations -pride isas succumbed -• to expediency •?
Bitt.lio is Lord. Melbourne, that we 'SliOuld thus flout
• assuorrt.:: that nature has endued him with high
`..(1 ,ourable r.elings becoming an -English nobleman ?
t • i:end !if more notorious -men, who have- not -
I ..• honesty—,the mere cnurage, to tell their

! ,1 ;tut ; know anything of the Lambs, it is no
'beltuai thr •its house to say, that although its
,-..'.9riltreprrlenta!/ve is a coward, and a traitor to -his
• -• •'ry, he casts blot on its heealdry..
Lad then, again, the downright absurdity and wicked-
ot.offdriog a .hig,h judicial' post to a matt, vitiO..has

rittronly-beeiidenounced from the throne as a miscreant,
firebrand agitator, but has• actually knelt clown in the,
streets, and htinibled hiniself..before the instruments of
papal tyranny in Ireland. Yet such is the.,4l4aracter of
the-Inan.oltotn Queen Victoria's ministers would raise
to the.. bench. As if Popery had not already a sufficiedt
n-uniber of accessories in its attempts Lu overthrow the
established religion of the country—as if its representa-
tives did not already stifle the voice ut• the English peo-
ple in the National Senate—as if its creatures and tni
nions did not already defile and pollute the atmosphere
of a young queen's court—as if- it did not even now pos-
sess all these actvantAges, and many more besides,--r-une
of the meanest, most servile, and withal one of •the most
inischievovs of •its pimps, is offered a post which com-
mands u.direct and immediate control over the adminis-
tration of the laws. Thus are the rights of a Protestant
people openly invaded; and thus, whilst -the forms re-
main, the first principles of the constitution are vio-
lated.

IVe learn by the latter part of the foregoing extract,
that O'Connell has refused the post held7out.to his ac-
ceptance, and that two of his. followers have been pro-
motect ta the
.vacant offices. Although this may be ra-
ther more satisfactory-to the country; than if he had con-
sented to his own elevation—although it.may have saved
many an honest man the pain of reflecting that a miscre-
ant and thrice-proved perjurer had been raised to power
and distinction—it places the ministry in a most de-
graded position, because it at once. proves that O'Con-.
nell did not consider the Irish Chief- Barony an equiva-
lent for the assistance which he has rendered them ; and
proving this, it at once establishes the fact, that his power
in Downing-street- is far greater. than the Cabinet,
through g sensitive regard for their damaged reputations,
are disposed to admit, and that the boons which they in-.
tended to confer especially upon him, he regards merely,
as patronage at his own disposal, holding, of -course, 'in
.prospectus a distinction for himself far greater than any.
they have purposed bestowing, but not tot great for hini
to demand, ,and.:force. them to concede. Were ever an
honest, confiding, and noble people, so basely betrayed ?
Was ever a country so .cursed and disgraced by a weak.
and corrupt government ? •
If the nation Should survive the injuries inflicted upon
it, by a faction who have no principle in common but
that of plundering-Its.7coffers, trampling on its honours
and institutions,sdestroying its trade, and invading the
civil, political, and religious rights of its people, poste-
rity must ()tier up its thanksgivings to a kind and merci-
ful Providence • for it is morally .certain, that nothing
short of so high and powerful interposition can save it
from the consequences of having been governed by coun-
sels which include a Viscount Melbourne as Prime Mi-
nister, a Spring Rice- as Chancellor of the Exchequer,
a Russell, a Palmerston, and a Glenelg, as Secretaries of
State, a POulett Thomson as President of the Board of
