MA RIAOROVON STRlll7.—Yesterday a geniesillibing
girl, attired in a very handsome dress, wee brenklit to
this oflice by an elderly man of respectable apemen nee,
who requested the Magistrate's advice how wadi the
girl lesdnibie said, some d r of her own.
The applicant then related the following affecting
story :—The girl was his niece aml as orphan; be had
brought her •p since she was 18 months old, and had
some time since, when she became of a proper age, sent
her to a very excellent seminary, within a few miles of
the metropolis, and was to pay a very heavy sum for Ler
education and 'hoard; hut he lamented to say a.kind of
fatality attended her ; be not long after she was.atsibeta
received a letter from her governeas, stating, that tint,
girl had evinced to a very alarming degree an. oafoitill-.
nate disposition to pilfer, sod she had filched.frons o.*

The g concluded by requesting him to take
immediately from the school; consequently he wi
obliged to bring her home, and then she for the first
time seemed inclined to rebel against his authority. SIM

not seen his thoughtless niece; and although every IF
(fairy was matted, no trace could be obtained of wherel
she was. Having a suspicion that she had been inveigled
into some haunt of infamy, he and others nightly per-
ambulated the public hallow of the victims of profligacy
and mistress, hut not among the wretched women could
he find his niece. His distress of mind at the prospect
which appeared to him of her fnture vice and misery, al-
most laid him upon his bed in a fit of severe illness: but he
aroused by the recollection of his dying brother's is-,
'tractions and injunctions respecting his daughter ; sad
he again pursued most unremitting inquiries ; he sought 1
again all the haunts of the poor, friendless, houselese,
unpitied victims of seduction, and endured all the Neel
series of many inclement nights, in the hope of finding
her. His search was at length successful ; he met her
walking in the streets, in a splendid dress, and he, le
accosting her, was affected by the alteration in her ap-
pearance which was then so perceptible, she bursting
into tears, and calling on him for mercy for the sake of
her father. lie could not refuse such an appeal, sod
with difficulty supported his poor, last, ruined brother's
child home. On recovering from the dreadful agitation
of his feelings, he from the poor penitent girl heard the
following detail :—She was carelessly roaming through
the fair, when, to all appearance, a respectably deemed
lady accosted her, and baying entered into converse-
lion, gave her cakes, &r., took her into several of the
%how-booths, and finally invited her borne to tea : thee,

promise of very rich presents, she is a moment of ink's-
ication was rendered up a victim to the infamous rape.
city of this base woman : being then afraid of sestet
her uncle or friends, she knew not what to do, and was
persuaded to seek a base subsistence by prostitution;
she described the many revolting scenes of vice to which
she was a witness, and also the en 3rinons charges made
on her for board and dress, and to defray those charges
she was sent out by her unfeeling keeper, and when she
was met by tier uncle, she was endeavouring to Ovell‘
come the natural modesty of her sex, not being the-
roughly versed io the necessary qualities observed by
the more experienced prostitute. The applicant said, is
conclusion, his object in bringing her was to serk ad-
Tice how he should art.

•
The girl was in tears and hid her face daring the re-
cital, and showed by her land sobs that she, when too
late, was convinced of the folly of rejecting the advice
of her real and more experienced friends.
The Magistrate said lie could not do any thing : if
she WU again guilty of theft, she should be brought to
the office.

--„.
The applicant said he should attend to this advice,
and also observed he would proceed against the base
woman who had been the means of his niece's destruc-
tion.

made himself responsible for the payment of the rent.
Witness, however, hail received no money, and on the
4th inst. the yonng lady left the 'souse, and has not
been heard of since. On Sunday she had the door of
the apartment opened, and to her utter astonishment
she found the young lady had contrived to carry away
all the table and bed linen, silver spoons, /cc. with her.
On Wednesday last, meeting with the prisoner, she gut
him into her parlour and accused him with being ac-
cessory to the robbery, which he strongly denied, cnr
did he know what had become of his grand-niece. Wit-
ness asked for his address ; he first said Knightsbridge,
and afterwards, 27, Kilbura.
Buckeridge, the officer, deposed to taking the pri-
soner into custody, and on sear.:liing his pockets found
a quantity of duplicates of articles pledge' in various
names and shops ; among the duplicates were two f.,r
watches—a gold one for 101., and a silver one for al.:
the officer also found in his coat pocket a key, which
opened the apartment occupied by his grand-niece,
which Mrs. Commiffcossidered was kers. 'the prisoner 1
told him he resided in St. Alban's-place, St. James's,
and his wife lived there. The witness then asked who
the duplicates for the watches and key belonged is, to
which he replied that he found them on Monday last in
Chelsea road.

The prisoner, upon being called upon to answer the
alleged charge against him, entered into a long narra-
tive respecting the young lady he called his niece, and
admitted that it was false, as she was do relation of bis
whatever, and said that a short time since, as be sod
his wife were walking together in St. James's, they ac-
cidentally met the young lady, who said sbe bad just
arrived from Portsmouth, was a stranger in London, and
was seeking ber uncle: this induced him, lions Imam-
nity only, to render the young woman his assistance,.
He was remanded. _ .

TIUMW' POLICI.-Mr. John !I`Alinsm, a tea-dealer,
was brought up, charged by tioodn is and Skellin, two
of the Bow-street patrol, with having possession of a
quantity of tea without a permit. Skellin stopped the
prisoner in the Commercial-road, with a bag of tea con-
taining 1-11 h. They asked him for his permit, and he
had none, which led them to suppose the tea was prohi-
bited, in consequence of which they seised the prisoner,
and brought him before the Magistrate.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he had obtained the
tea legally, but it being too late for a permit that night,
and as he bad customers waiting to purchase tea of him,
he was hastening home with it, and intended to get the
permit on the following morning, which by som►. means
Or other he obtained, and dated Wednesday, the 9th of
October.

The Magistrate ordered the tea to be sent to the Ex-
cise, and it' the prisoner hlti obtained it legally. he
might make application to the Excise Board, and they
would return it.

On Tuesday night, in the neighbJurbood of Denoy,
about 12 o'clock, a driver of a cart was accosted by three
fellows, who requested a ride. The carter concluding
they were travellers, assented to their request. Before
they bad proceeded far, they began to say that that was
the horse which hail drawn the radicals, Baird and
Hardy, to the place of execution ; and they rather eon-
eluded that the present driver was owaer and managerof
the horse on that occasion. Immediately they assaiJed
the unsuspecting carter with their bludgeons, beat him
unmercifully, and left him with a broken arm and a Mita-
her of bruises and contusions.—(Ediabargh Oiserrer.)
