MARYLEBONE.• Yesterday William Harswood was placed at the bar, before Mr. Rawliuson, for final examination, upon the charge of having attempted to murder his son Arthur. aged 16, by striking bins on the head with a fire-shovel. The appearance of the poor lad excited the commisseration and sympathy of all present ; his head was bound round with a handkerchief, which concealed from view numerous wounds, and upon his face were several contusions ; his eyes and nose were also much disfigured, and lie was so extremely weak as to be scarcely able to stand. The worthy Magistrate therefore ordered for him a chair, in which he sat close to the Bench. The evidence now given, coupled with that before adduced, went to show that on Sunday, the 14th instant, some words took place between the prisoner and his son Arthur ; and that in the afternoon of the same day one took up the poker and the other the tongs, but no injury was inflicted, either by father or son, with the implements named. In the evening, Arthur, who had been out for a few hours, returned home, and, sitting on a stool, fell asleep, with his head resting upon a chair, when the prisoner, while he (Arthur) was thus lying, caught up the tire-shovel, and struck him with it repeatedly on the head, with such force, that the shovel was much bent by the blows. A scuffle had previously occurred, in the course of which Arthur struck the prisoner, who said he would have redress for it. The police were called in, and on their arrival they found Arthur in a state of insensibility, and completely smothered in blood. All that could be gathered from what fell from him prior to his being taken to the hospital, were the words, "Father - asleep." The prisoner stands committed for trial, but will be brought up again this day, when the whole of the depositions will be read over. Ellen Turner. a very well-dressed young woman, was placed at the bar charged with having stolen property of different descriptions to a considerable amount, belonging to leer mistress, -Mrs. Harriet Bennet, 23, Portman-place, Edgware-road. It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Bennett that the prisoner had been in her service about three months, and that having missed a cloak, she questioned her respecting it, when she at first denied all knowledge as to where it was, but subsequently said that she had lent it. Her box was searched, and in it were found a pair of gold ear-rings, thirteen handkerchiefs, and other articles, all of which Mrs. Bennett identified as her own. The prisoner was remanded.till Tuesday next. A young man, named Witham Green, was placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, for re-eamination, charged on suspicion of having been concerned 11 plundering the shop of Mr. William Evans, a boot !Ind shoe-maker, in an extensive ,I,,insss. at '25, Pa m ddirton-street, near this court.

Complete Suffragists. All that is wanted to insure the speedy triumph of the cause is, that it be kept constantly and prominently before the public. The hint, we arc sure, will not be lost on those for whom it is intended. A word to the wise is enough. There is no danger of our being misunderstood. From Mr. Thomas Deneombe, Mr. Sharman Crawford, and several other Members of the Commons, we expect—an expectation which is shared by the public—great things in the way of keeping the question of Complete Suffrage continually before the House. We know the subject is unpleasant to the great majority of our legislators; but we are not to be deterred from our purpose by that consideration. They must be made to hear many unpleasant truths— they must be made to listen t.. many discussions wh;ch may grate in their ear.,. It is hgli time they were taught the lesson, that it was nut to please theniselves„ but to attend to the complaints, and redress the grievances of the people, that they were sent to St. Stephen's.
