Michael Malley, remanded from last Monday, charged
with being a suspected character, and the accomplice of
dissolute women, was brought up to-day ; but no further
evidence having been obtained, to prove that he had dis-
honestly come by the gold rings he had pledged, and the
duplicates for which were found in his possession, he was
discharged.

STEALING PROM A PAWNSTIOP.—AIice Gilmour, charged
with stealing three dresses from the pawnshop of Mr.
Healing, in Scotland-road, on Saturday evening; and,
h stealing a shawl from the shop of Mrs. Wilson,
~, Scotland-road. Both cases were proved, and the pri-
soner, who was known as an old offender, was sentenced
to be imprisoned for three months.
STREET ROBBERY.—Michael Newman and Margaret
Jones were charged with having knocked down a man
in Wilbraham-street, on Tuesday night, and robbing him
The parties were taken into custody on
The property had not been found, and the
prisoners were remanded.
STEALING IN BRIDEWELL.—WiIIiam Hughes, a young
man who had been charged with stealing some carpenters'
tools on Thursday last, and lodged in bridewell on Satur-
day, was now charged with that theft, and also with
having robbed a tall raw-boned Scotchman named Cooley,
in Bridewell, he having been found drunk in the streets,
and locked up for safety. From the statement of Camp-
bell the bridewell-keeper, it appeared that Cooley was
searched on his being put in, but nothing of consequence
was found on him. The prisoner Hughes was put into
the same cell, and a scuffle ensuing Campbell looked
through a slide wicket in the door and saw Hughes
take a parcel out of the drunken man's pocket. He im-
mediately opened the door, and on searching Hughes
found in his pocket a parcel containing 19 sovereigns and
two half-sovereigns ; while 13s. 6d. in silver were found in
his other pocket. Hughes' pockets were, he said, care-
fully emptied when he was locked up. Cooley said he had
recently come from America, and was on his way to join
his wife and family in Edinburgh. He identified the par-
cel containing the sovereigns as his, and also claimed the
silver money. Hughes was sentenced to be imprisoned
for two months.
IRISH FACTION FIGHT.—John' Hugh, and. Patrick
Daly, three brothers, were charged before Mr. Mansfield
and Mr. Smith with a violent assault on John Lovell, a
dock porter. All the parties live in Frederick-street. On
the night of Monday, the 9th instant, the prosecutor, who
admitted he was in liquor at the time, sat down on the
door steps of his own house when he was assaulted by the
three prisoners, who dragged him off the steps, threw
him on the ground, trod on him, and kicked him in the
face in such a manner as to knock several of his teeth out.
It appeared that Lovell and his,Fife belong to the Orange
party, the prisoners being Ribbonmen. The assault and
the unprovoked as well as savage nature of it were proved
by the prosecutor, his wife, and a neighbour ; while for
the prisoners several witnesses were adduced who dis-
tinctly swore that they were not the guilty party, which
was perpetrated, they said, by persons whom they did not
know. They likewise averred that the prosecutor and
his wife were the assailants, and insinuated that they
were bad characters. They differed, however, considerably
from each other on minute points, and after a painstaking
investigation, which occupied a long time, Mr. Mansfield
said the assault had evidently arisen out of one of those
party riots which so greatly disgrace the Irish population
in their own country, and which habits they carry with
them into other places. He said, notwithstanding the
bold conflict in the testimony of the two sets of witnesses,
his brother magistrate and himself had no doubt as to
the prisoners being the assaulting parties, and he sen-
tenced each of them to pay a fine of £5 and costs, or be
imprisoned for two months.

A NOVELTY roil LADIES.—A Parisian modiste has
suggested a chapeau, which obviates the inconvenience of
wearing bonnets, at dejeliners, and other occasions,
within doors, by converting them into caps. This is done
by removing a portion of the bonnet, as easily as a gentle-
man can take off his hat ; when there remains on the head
a coiffure of the most tasteful description.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—Her Majesty's ships Tal-
bot and North Star (lately returned from the Arctic
regions,) with the crews of the abandoned ships, are still in
the basin at Sheerness, completely dismantled. The Lords
of the Admiralty have ordered a series of investigations to
take place into the manner in which Sir Edward Belcher
has failed to carry out the instructions under which he
proceeded to the Arctic Seas. The Court-martial about to
be held upon Commander Osborne, Pioneer ; Captain
Kellett, Resolute ; Commander M'Clintock, Intrepid ;
Captain Sir Edward Belcher, Assistance; Captain M'Clure,
Investigator, &c., was to have been held on Saturday, but it
is said to have been postponed till this day, (Tuesday.)

A WHISPER. TO A. WlFE.—Study your husband's tem-
per and character, and be it your pride and pleasure to
conform to his wishes. Check at once the first advance to
contradiction, even of the most trivial nature. Beware of
the first dispute. Whatever might have been concealed
as a defect from the lover, must with greater diligence be
concealed from the husband. The most friendly and inti-
mate familiarity cannot surely be supposed to exclude
decorum. Let your husband be dearer and of more con-
sequence to you than any other human being ; and have
no hesitation in confessing those feelings to him.

A Duo of OIL.— Every man who lives in a house,
especially if the house be his own, should oil all the various
parts of it once in two or three months. The house will
last much longer, and will be much more quiet to live in.
Oil the locks, bolts, and hinges of the street door, and it
will shut gently, with luxurious ease, and with the use of
a small amount of force. A neglected lock requires great
violence to cause it to shut, and with so much violence that
the whole house, its doors, its windows, its very floors and
joists, are much shaken, and in time they get out of repair
in all sorts of ways, to say nothing of the dust that is dis-
lodged every time the place is so shaken. The incessant
banging of doors, scrooping of locks, creaking and scream-
ing of hinges, is a great discomfort. Even the bell-wire
cranks should sometimes be oiled, and they will act more
certainly and with such gentle force that there will be
little danger of breaking any of them. The castors of
tables and chairs should be sometimes oiled, and they will
move with such gentle impulse and so quietly that a
sleeping child or old man is not awakened. A well-oiled
door-lock opens and shuts with hardly a whisper. Three
pennyworth of oil used in a large house once a year will
save many shillings in locks and other materials, and in
the end will save many pounds in even the substantial
repairs of a house ; and an old wife living and sleeping in
quiet repose will enjoy many more years of even temper
and active usefulness. Housekeepers, pray do not forget
the oil. A stitch in time saves nine, and a drop in time
saves pounds.—The Builder.

SERF LABOUR IN POLAND.—In every village is an
overseer, whose duty it is to call in the evening at each
hut, and notify the inmates as to the part of the planta-
tion where they are to meet the following morning and be
ready to start for work. Men, women, and children are
included in this order, of course ; they assemble as directed,
and are then driven like so many oxen to their labour.
Of whatever kind the work may be, the women are com-
pelled to toil as the men; the children are assigned light
tasks, as picking stones, &c. Over each division is placed
an overseer, having in his hand a whip of braided straps
of leather, and should any one presume to stop even for a
moment, the lash is unmercifully applied—children are
not exempt from this infliction, and whoever may be the
object of punishment, he, or she, is obliged to kiss the
hand and foot of the inflictor. Should any one refuse to
do so, as is sometimes the case, the poor creature is laid
upon the ground, and receives forty additional stripes, then
with blood trickling from his back, returns again to work.
In some instances (the overseer being in an unusual rage),
children, perhaps a son and daughter, are required to hold
down a parent, whilst another member of the same family
is made to administer the lash with his utmost strength.
These things seem heart-sickening to relate, nevertheless
they are true, and not a day passes without many indi-
viduals being subjected to such treatment. When they
leave their miserable homes in the morning each peasant
carries upon his back a coarse cloth sack, containing the
dinner of its bearer ; this consists of a loaf of brown bread,
having the appearance of baked sawdust ; and if the bearer
has been so fortunate as to have recently killed a pig, he
takes with his bread a piece of raw pork. Before com-
mencing work, these sacks are deposited in heaps upon
the ground, and at noon, when the signal is given, they
rush with the speed of half-starved animals, every one for
his bag, and then commences a devouring of bread and
salt in the most ravenous manner. Each gang is allowed
a mug for water, and this is passed from one to another
until all have been served. Such is the manner in which
these poor creatures toil on through their period of ex-
istence, without a ray of hope to cheer or a single solace
to alleviate their woes.—Allen's Autocracy in Poland
and Busoia. -
