      of in ikin" profits which other persons would be prevcnteddoine . The hon . gentleman then gave notice of sera *! a : ar-Bd « r , « ita he intended to propose in tbe various ««« « f tie bill -hen it wen . into committee . And he expressed the hope , a ., Mr . "Williams m ' wht see , there was no chance of going into cumiaifiec tin * evening , bo would consent to name sonic otber day for that purpose . Thesuoject wa * one of a mise-5 religious and social nature , and was surrounded with great difficulty , be trusted therefore that the house would agree to the amendment of his hon . and learned friend Mr . Anstey . Mr Lesxahd beius of opinion that the information possessed by the house was very imperfect , and that other bu-iness of more importance should be proceeded with , would move that the debate be now adjourned .

      Ttw gallery was cleared for a didswn , but none took place . , , , Mr . Williams consented to tlie postponement of tbe bill for a forrniL'ht . The other orders having been disposed of , Mr . Mcllisgs obtained le-i . 'c to bring in a bill to extend tlie acts for tU commutation of manorial rights , for the extinguishment of heriots and reliefs , and of rig hts of lo rds of manors to timber aud trees on lands parcel off any manner , and for tbo gradual enfranchisement of binds of copyhold or customary tenure ; and afco for extinguishing free rents , reliefs , duties , and services payable or to be performed in respect of freehold lands parcel of any mai-or . The house adjourned at half-past five .

      THURSDAY , May 1 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tbe bouse met at six O ' clock , when Sir G . Grev brought in the government bill for supplying water to the metropolis , -which was read a first time and referred to the private bills comiiittee , and an order was made postponing the sitting of tbe committees on all bills for supplying London with water to the 27 th of May . SirO . Ore ? stated , in answer to a question from Mr . W . Williams , that the Board of Health had hitherto failed in their efwrts to obtain possession by private arrangement of the metropolitan cemeteries for the purpose of putting a stop to intramural interments , but they hoped yet to succeed in some instances , and iu others tbey would resort to the powers entrusted to them by law .

      Oath of abjcsathkc ( Jews ) Bill , — Lord J . Bnsssti . then mor < -d the second reading of the Oath of Abjuration ( Jews ) Bill , which was met by Mr . Sewdegatb with an amendment for putting off that stage of the measure for . < ix months . Mr . Robbbck spoke iu favour of the bill , and Strongly animadverted on the bigotry of those who , assuming the relig ion ia which they had been educated was tbe right one , refused equal civil privileges to those who had been educated ia a different religion . Mr . Wioium contended that as the majority of the country was Christian , the Legislature ought not to admit to the governing body any who were opposed to Christianity .

      The Solicitor Cesehal supported the bill , upon the broad principle tbat , when you imposed upon any class the burdens of citizenship , yoa were bound to extend to them all the rights and privileges of that position , lleferring to the Great Exhibition , he remarked tbat those who came to take part in it , knew that the political superiority which they envied was owing , in a great measure , to the respect which was always paid to public opinion in this country—and seeing how strongly public opinion had been expressed on this subject , he should indeed regret , whatever might be the advance made by us in arts aud manufactures , if in this particular we had rctrogaded , and fallen back On the insolence and bigotry of power .

      Sir R . Isglis spoke of tbe property qualification as being equally opposed to the enjoyment of that light of citizenship which consisted in a seat in Parliament , as tbe oath which prevented Mr . Itotbschild from sitting in tbat bouse . He was opposed to the Jews being admitted to political or municipal offices , and suggested that those' of that persuasion who were dissatisfied with those disabilities whicii the constitution of this country imposed upon them , might leave it . He opposed the bill , as being at variance with the Christian character of the country .

      Mr . J . A . Surra urged that Mr . Pease had been allowed to draw out * ni « gn a declaration which was taken in Boa "f ihe onU at that rimorcquired from qnakers , and he thought the same course should have been followed in tbe case of Baron Rothschild . He repudiated an insinuation thrown out by Mr . JJewdogate , tbat tbe baron was indebted to bribery for his return , contending that where there was a majority of 3 , 600 , it was absurd to taik of bribery . Tho Jews had entitled thsmselves to the enjoyment of civil rights by the conscientious and faithful discbarge of their civil dnties . Mr . Gooxbohs opposed the bill , which he said went further than either of the previous bills on the Same subject , for it proposed to admit Jews not . merely to parliament but to every office in the land , even to those from winch Roman Catholics were

      still excluded . Mr . Asstet followed in support of the bill . Col . Sibthobp having intimated his intention to Tote against the bill , Lord J . Rosseu , remarked that the question in some respects assumed a different aspect from that in which it had presented itself on f ormer occasions . The House of Commons had hitherto refrained from altering the oatb so as to admit the Baron Rothschild out of deference to the Lords , and not wishing to appear to be taking on themselves the functions of a legislature , but having done this they bad a right to expect that the Lords would now pay deference to the wishes of the Bouse of Commons and the rights of the constituent body . ThfttjiifcsiMm was , were the 40 , 001 ) 3-ws in this country to remain under a badge aud stigma on account of their religious opinions , while political Tights were given to the members of all other religious persuasions ?

      On a division the second reading was carried by 202 to 177 . The Civil lasts , & c . ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time . Some other bills were forwarded a stage , and the house adjourned at a quarter past twelve .

      FRIDAY . Mat 2 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —In answer to a question by Mr . Hume , Lord Sevmoue said that owing to the encroachments upon . Rotton Row , arising from the accommodation recently provided for visitors to the . Industrial Exhibition , it bad been considered proper fo construct a new ride & r the equestrians in Kensington Gardens , but the violation of those precincts would continue only for a few months . Mr . Chudees here put some queries , respecting the Diocesan Synod summoned by the Bishop of

      Exeter , in his late pastoral address . Lord 3 . Rbssbll feared tbat some doubts hung abont the legal import of the proceeding contemplated by the Bishop of Exeter . The law officers of the Crown were of opinion that Provincial Synods , though they had long been in abeyance , were not contrary to statute . It was , therefore , not the intention of the government to interfere , especially as the prelate repudiated any intention of passing canons to bind the church . IscotfB Tax Bnx . —On the motion that the Speaker should leave tbe chair , preparatory to the house going into committee upon the Income Tax

      Bill , . Mr . W . Williams rose to move , as an amendment , . that the bill , as far as regarded tbe imposition of the tax on the interest of the public debt , salaries and emoluments of public officers , pensions and sinecures , he extended to Ireland ; bnt , being precluded by form from making the motion , he contented himself with calling attention to the reason ? he offered in favour of the proposition . The house then went into committee .

      Upon the first clause Mr . Hume moved that , instead of three years , the duration of the tax be limited to one year , with the view of making an inquiry by a select committee into the mode of assessing and collecting the tax , so as to make it equitable and just . The amendment was supported by Mr . Alderman Thompson , Mr . Mowatt , fir . Buck , Mr . Mac ^ reger , the Marqnia of Granby , Mr . W . Miles , Mr . Bisraeli , Mr . Montr , and Mr . Roebuck , and was opposed by Mr . dobden , Mr . J . Bell , Mr . S . Herbert , tbe Chancellor of the Exchequer , Lord J . Russell , and

      Mr . Geach . . The debate , always discursive in committee , diffused itself over a greater variety of topics than usual . Upon a division the numbers were—For Mr . Hume ' s amendment •» 244 Against it 230 - Majority agamrt tbe Ministers —U Thd Chairman then reported progress , and had leave to ait again on Monday . Tie remaining business having been disposed of , the house adjourned at half-past one o ' clock until Monday .

      Election Intelligence. Plymolth.—So Far ...

      ELECTION INTELLIGENCE . Plymolth . —So far the only real public movement having reference to the representation of the borough of Plymouth in the next Parliament , has been , tbe publication of the address of Mr . R . P . Collier to tbe electors , but lbs private negotiations appear to have been many . The practical result of the whole , however , may be expressed in a few words . Mr . Roundell Palmer will , in all . probability be rejected , and Lord Ebrington elected . Mr . Wigram Crawford has resigned .

      Sovm Oasts . —At a meeting of the Hants Loyal Political Association , held at the Black Swan Inn , Winchester , tbe following resolutions were passed : — First : "' 1 bat a requisition be forthwith drawn up for the signature of the constituency of South Hants , calling on Lord Charles Wellesley to resign all pretensions to the support of the South Hants electors at the next eIectioD . " -Second : — " That a similar requisition be drawn up , intimating to Mr . Portal tbat he has lost the confidence of the electors of North Hants , by his vote on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill , and calling on him not again to offer himself to the electors for their suffrages . " , North Basis . —It is said that Lord Henry Choimondeley will come forward in conjunction with Mr . Portal , on the Conservative interest , as a candidate for the representation of the Northern Division of Hampshire , in the place of the present Speaker of the House of Commons , who it is expected will be elevated to the Peerage .

      West Nohfolk . —In consequence of the expected dissolution of Parliament , and the electors of West Norfolk being dissatisfied with their present member , the Hon . E . K Coke , steps are being taken to ensure , if possible , the return of two Protectionist representatives ; and the electors of the Western Division of the county of Norfolk have signed a requisition to Messrs . Bagge and Pierrepoint , expressing their unqualified satisfaction at their conduct as their representatives , and requesting their permission to be put in nomination in the event of another election , and they pledge themselves to ensure their return . Islkok-Wight . —Mr . C . C . Clifford , a barrister , and son of Sir A . Clifford , Bart ., has just issued an address to the electors of the island . Mr . Clifford states that he stands on Protestant , Free Trade , and Liberal principles . He is at present the only candi » date in the field , but a Protectionist opponent ( Mr . T . W . Fleming ) is spoken of .

      Atleshurt . —The petition presented to the House of Commons against tbe return of Mr . Bethell , sets forth tbat he was by himself and agents guilty of bribery and corruption at the last election , and did , by means of money , promises of employment , and intimidation procure votes-and forbear to have them given in favour of Mr . Ferrand , the opposing candidate ; that meat , drink and entertainment were given , intimidation and duress resorted to , and gross and systematic bribery ; that Mr . Calvert , whose return had been declared void , became an agent , friend , manager , and partisan of Mr . Bethel !; and that

      Messrs . Acton Tindal , J . and J . Ward , C . Wheeler , R . Benson , G . Defraure , J . James , J . Jones , J . Pric * kett , and a certain individual known as the " Man in tbe Moon" alias Crouch , and others who bad been tbe agents of Mr . Calvert , were the agents , friends , managers , and partisans of . Mr . Bethell ; that the votes of many persons not legally entitled to vote were accepted ; and that many , votes were not allowed as good votes on behalf of Mr . Ferrand . The petition , which is of unusual length , concludes by praying that the house will declare the return of Mr . Bethell null and void .

      The Refugees And The Press. We Give The ...

      THE REFUGEES AND THE PRESS . We give the following from the Refugee Circular : " So much misrepresentation exists in tbe country respecting the conditions on which the refugees left Turkey —( occasioned by the falsehoods so industriously circulated by a portion of the Liverpool press ) , —that we deem it advisable to reprint Major Wolynski ' s Answer to the article which appeared in the Liverpool Mercury , of March 7 tb ,

      1851 . ' " I may not pass over the mis-statements which 1 am informed are to be met with in the different Liverpool papers , more especially as they affect our honour ( dear to every soldier ) , and place our intentions in a false light before the English public , to whose sympathy aud opinion we cannot be indifferent . " When , after a six week ' s voyage , we arrived at Liverpool , I from the first thought it best not to communicate our intentions as to the future , to

      any agent of a Colonisation Society ; and I cannot tell , therefore , how it could be known fo any such agent that ; it was our firm intention to emigrate to America . Oar resolution to remain in Europe had been made long ago , as a part of the duty which we owe to our country . "We considered America only as a last refuge , and we did not keep that secret from the British Ambassador , Sir Stratford Canning . We told him plainly that OUT wish was to land at Liverpool , with which ho complied , with no other view than tbat those who deemed it better to remain in England should do so .

      " Our democratic countrymen were long ago perfectly aware of our intention , as we had acquainted them with it when we appealed to them , as friends , to assist us on our landing , in finding the means of support . Our venerable countryman , M . Stanislaus Worcell , came to Liverpool , on being informed by us of our arrival at the Irish port of Kinsale ; from all which-it may easily be seen that we did not need any persuasion to stay in Liverpool ; and that Mr . Worcell ' s object was no other than to welcome his countrymen and companions in exile , and to render us his assistance in a strange land . But the object of certain philanthropists was to persuade us to go to America , a promised sum for every one enlisted being held out as an inducement . The Hungarian gentleman and his companion were careful to explain to us the happiness which awaited us in America , and to show the state of this country in the worst light .

      " Lastly , it is necessary for me to correct the imperfect knowledge of the Hungarian gentleman with regard to our organisation . In the time of the Hungarian campaign , I was commander of two squadrons of Lancers in tbe Polish legion ; but when we went into exile , our military institutions were succeeded by civil organisation . At the head of the Refugees is a Committee composed of seven members , elected by the majority ; and I am not the chief of the Refugees , but only a member of the Committee . "All , therefore , that tbe Hungarian gentleman states about my commandership , as well as about tha willingness to go to America manifested by me , or by my companions , or about tbe change Of determination produced by Mr . Worcell ' s visit on board of ship , is , to say the least , totally incorrect . " I am , Sir , yours , " TfiADEtrS Womnski . "

      ' Worship-Street.-A Meu.Vciioly Case - J...

      ' WORSHIP-STREET .-A Meu . vciioly Case - Johanna Hearn , a midd ! e-: igod woman , whoso face was greatly contused , and ber bead enveloped in bandages , was brought up from the London Hospital , before Mr . Arnold , charged with tbo following determined attempt to destroy herself : —William Phillips , a chair-maker , in Bol ywell-lano , Shore * ditch , stated that the prisoner and ber husband bad lodged for some time in bis house , with their four children , and she had always conducted herself with propriety and decorum until a few weeks since , when she suddenly displayed an unusual wildness and eccentricity in her conduet and deportment ,

      which induced a suspicion that her mirid was affected . On the morning of Thursday last , while engaged in bis workshop adjoining ihe bed-room occupied by tbe prisoner , he was alarmed by the sound of a heavy fill iu her apartment , followed bv an exclamation of " Oh God , my child ! " and on hastening into Iter room he found the prisoner lying upon the floor , with blood streaming from hov mouth and nose , and upon raising ber he observed a p iece of ribbon tied tightly round her neck , and it was manifest that she had been attempting to hang ' herself , as there was a chair placed immediately underneath a beam in the ceiling , to which was secured the opposite end of the strinsrs , wbich had no doubt broken under her weight . On

      questioning her as to tbe motives lor committing such an act , she only answered with a feeble moan , and finding that she was fast sinking into a state ot insensibility , he sent for a surgeon in tlie neighbourhood , who advised ber immediate removal to the hospital . The prisoner ' s husband , a decentlooking man , who was much affected , said that he was utterly at a loss to account for the recent alterations in tbe conduct and condition of bis wife , who had always previously conducted herself in the most irreproachable manner to him & elf and his children ; but without any apparent cause , she had latterlv given way to a settled despondency , and

      displ ayed other symptoms , which gavubim greac fears that she was labouring under mental aberration . — Mr . Arnold said , that it was a great pity , as tbe witness ' s attention had been directed to the woman ' s , melancholy Condition , that he had not taken some effectual means for her protection , and Ke could not consent to her discharge without having a sufficient guarantee to insure her safety . —After an earnest assurance from tho husband that he would exercise such a strict supervision over her as should prevent tbe recurrence of such an act , the magistrate ordered tho wife to be discharged upon his entering into recognizances for her good behaviour for the next six months .

      Assault . —Mr . Joseph Samuels , who stood charged with an aggravated assault upon his mother ' s servant , a young girl , named Elizabeth Davey , appeared in discharge of his recognisances for final examination . —Mr . Talbot , secretary to the London Society for the Protection of . Young Females , accompanied by Mr . Richard Peild , attended to watch the case , that society having undertaken to carry on the prosecution , and Mr . Norton appeared for the defence . —The depositions , which were very volumnious , having been completed , and read over by Mr . Hiiriston , the second clerk . —The defendant was fully committed to take his trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court , for a criminal assault , but was again admitted to bail , himself in £ 100 , and two sureties in £ 50 each .

      THAMES . —Gambling . —Joseph Joshua Cusbin , of 23 , Back Church-lane , Whitechapel , appeared before Mr . Yaruley , to answer a summons , on the complaint of Inspector Ellis , of the IX division , for knowingly permitting unlawful gambling in his house . —This was a complaint under the 44 th section of the Police Act ( the 2 nd and 3 rd Victoria , chap . 47 ) , and it appeared that numerous complaints had been made by the inhabitants of Whitechapel and the surrounding locality , that the defendant encouraged children to gamble in his house , and that many of them had been , ruined by the bad habits tbey had contracted in Cushin ' s shop . On Sunday morning last , in consequence of information , Police-Sergeant Eves , 14 H , and Dunaway , a constable ,

      So . 129 II , went to Cushin s "dolly shop , " as it was termed , where quantities of sweetmeats were exposed for sale , aud several boys playing at a game of chance called " dolly dodge , " by , which the defendant was enabled to deprive them of their money . Tho gambling machine was on the counter , and consisted of a spiral figurecalled a"dolly , " and a circular board with small boles grooved out in it , in which numbers were painted . ^ The stakes were only a penny a side , and each juvenile was provided by the defendant , with a marble , which was dropped in tbe interior of tbe figure , and rolled down to the board , and lodged in one of the holes . If the boys won they were rewarded with a piece of hardbakeor some other sweatmeat , a bun , or a

      , bottle of ginger beer . The marble , however , had a marvellous disposition for rolling into a hole in which some low number was painted , and in that case the young adventurers got nothing at all . — Mr . Yardley asked if any of the children ever won ? —Dunaway replied in the affirmative ; but when they did all they obtained for their penny was a sweetmeat , or a bottle of , stuff called giiigerboer . If the marble did not roll into the right hole the defendant retained his customer ' s penny and gave nothing in return . One little urchin won , and w « s resvarded with a piece of sweet stuff ; two other boys , who each staked a penny , got nothing . —Sergeant Eves said , he had seen children from six to fourteen years of age gambling at the " dolly , "

      wbich was a very profitable game for tbe defendant . —Mr . Yardley bad no doubt it was . The winners , however , were almost as badly off as the losers . The defendant never lost . —The defendant said , he had not kept the- " dolly" more than six weeks . He thought it no harm to indulge children in little play ; those who were in his shop on Sunday morn - ing had been out all night , and wanted refreshment . —Mr . Yardley said , the gambling carried on in the defendant ' s shop was decidedly illegal , and could not be tolerated . The defendant set up a strange excuse when he said he took the children ' s money because they had been out all night . The case was made out , and he fined tho defendant 20 s . and costs , and in default of payment committed him to prison for eight days .

      AssAMr with a Knife bta Fobeioner .- Joseph Mehon , a foreigner , for whom Kormoil , 133 H , an expert linguist ; acted as interpreter , was charged with assaulting and attempting to stab Barker , 92 H . About two o ' clock on Sunday morning the constable was endeavouring to disperse some disorderly prostitutes , when the prisoner , in a menacing manner , and uttering what appeared to be threats , in a language which Barker did not understand , rushed at him with an open knife , and would have done himserious injury , had he not succeeded in striking down his arm . He , however , rushed at him a second time , and after knocking him down threw

      | away the knife and fell on him . A young man who came to his assistance helped him up , but the prisoner again knocked him down , and a severe struggle ensued . Some other constables were attracted to the spot , and the prisoner was secured . —In his defence , tbe prisoner denied having a knife , and stated through Normoil that his ship was to sail the ensuing day . —Mr . Yardley said , that by right he ought to imprison him for a long time , but as he bad shown compunction for the first dastardly act , he should be allowed to escape with a fine of 20 ? ., or eight days * imprisonment . —The fine was immediately paid .

      Thb late Abouctioji Case . —The case of the young woman Newman , who bas several times been before the magistrate to complain of abduction and criminal assault , effected with tbe aid of a young man named Day , was again brought forward . So evidence was adduced against the young man , but it came out that the letter on which tbe y : nvng woman pretended she had met the accused party , was written with her own cognizance , and by her own direction . —Mr . Yardley remarked that tbe case was out of bis hands .

      GUILDHALL . —Forgert . —Will iamWalhWhitc and Lucy , his wife , were placed at tho bar " before Alderman Salomons , charged , the foime ' r with forging a bill for £ 20 , and tbo latter with aiding and abetting the escape of her husband as the officers were about to apprehend him—Mr . Goddard appeared for the prosecution , and , after , stating tbe case , said , with regard to the female prisoner , he was aware he could not charge her with conspiring with her husband , and he would therefore consent to- ber being discharged . —Lucy White was discharged accordingly . —Samuel Baker Morris was then called , and stated as follows ; The prisoner opened an account with me for millinery goods in October last . Ho saii that tha 5 rm consisted of

      Joseph Frederick Whiffen , of Brentwood , brother to his wife , and himself . I agreed to give him credit to the ' amout of £ 25 or £ 30 . He paid the first and second months by account , but at the expiration of the third month there was a balance due of £ 39 5 s . 9 d . He was unable to meet my demand upon him , and asked me to draw upon him for the whole amount . I accordi ng !} drew upon him for £ 20 at a month . Prisoner accepted tho bill in my presenco . It was drawn in tbe name of Whiffen and Co ., and when it became duo it was dishonoured . I went down to Brentwood on Wednesday last to make inquiries , and was informed by Mr . \ VhifIen that he was not a partner of the

      prisoner , neither did ho authorise either him or his wife to make use of his ( Mr . Whiffen ' s ) name . —Mr . Goddard hero stated that he wished the case to be remanded , as Mr . Whiffen ' s evidence was of "real importance , and it would be necessary to brin ° him up from Brentwood to appear here . —Alde ° rman Salomons said it would be better first to tuke the officer ' s evidence . —Gunn , 8 G , said he went to the prisoner ' s house on Saturday night , and finding he was in bed witlrhis wife told them he would wait while prisoner dressed himself . In the mean tir ^ e prisoner , assisted by bis wife , made his escape out of the window . —Andrews , 255 , said he took prisoner into custody at Mr . Morris ' s warehouse yesterday

      ' Worship-Street.-A Meu.Vciioly Case - J...

      morning ; he ( prisoner ) having , called upon Ml ' Morris to try and settle the affair .-r-Mr . Buchanan , who appeared for the prisoner , said be had no objection to the case being remanded , and it would therefore be unnecessary to go into . fuvtbei-evidence . —R emanded accordingly . A ttempted Suicides . — Three persons were broug ht before the Lord Mayor , for having attempted self-destruction . One of them , an industrious bricklayer ' s labourer , aged nineteen , had taken the pledge against strong liquors , and kept it eleven months twenty-seven days , and was then tempted to swallow a dodger of gin , which led to another , and finally to the most intolerable compunction . He was found iu an out-house hanging from a beam .

      round which be bad tied a silk handkerchief , which lie had tig htly fixed round bis neck . A minute or two more would certainly bave finished bis earthly career . Tlie second person charged was a common labourer , who' appeared while at the bar , to suffer excessively from delirium tremens . He had been drinking gin , and be walked into an unfrequented part of the bouse , wbich appeared to him to be a fit place in which to perpetrate the dreadful act he contemplated . He , too , was cut down when completely senseless . He was described as black in the face , and with eyes starting from their sockets . — The first of these unhappy men thanked God for having been saved , and ascribed the inclination to suicide tonot ) iing"buttheglass , *' whichhesaid was the only thing that made him mad . Tho second said he was in' employment , and that he had no

      recollection of any attempt to do violence to himself—that in fact he should never have entertained such a thought if he had hot taken a drop extra . —The third suicidal attempt was made byayoung woman , the servant in a house in Gracechurch-street , and the complaint was made by ber master , who said that , she had acted , in all probability , under the impression that ber mistress would discbarge her , in consequence of her having received the frequent visits of a young man , who paid his addresses to lier in the absence of the family . Upon being spoken to upon the subject , she said she would drown herself , and . when her master prevented her from leaving the house to dispose of herself in that way , she ran up stairs , with the intention , as be believed , of throwing herself into the street . —The three prisoners were remanded .

      CLERKENWELL . —Chiminal Assault . —Mr . J . Henry Eaton , the master of St . Pancras Workhouse , was again examined on a charge of criminally assaulting Eliaa . Smith , agtd sixteen , au inmate of the workhouse . For some time prior to the opening of the court numerous parties attended iu the passage anxious to be present to hear the proceedings , and by twelve o clock the place was crowded by respectably dressed persons . The parish authorities were in attendance , with Mr . Cooke , the vestry clerk of St . Pancras . The following additional evidence was adduced : George Phili p Lamb deposed that he WRS porter at St . Pancras Workhouse . Ihe accused was the master of tbat establishment . Knew the prosecutrix . In tbe latter part of January , at about half-past three o ' clock , to the best of bis recollection , she went out with the master . It was in the afternoon .

      I he master returned at a quarter , twenty minutes , or half-past eight o ' clock in the evening , in the first instance alone . Witness opened the door to him . Mr . Eaton asked if tho girl Eliza Smith had come in , or something to that effect . —Mr . Ballantine suggested for him to repeat what he said in the first person . Witness : He said , " Have you seen the girl Smith , or has the girl Smith come in ? " I said , " No , sir . " He appeared as if ho had suddenly missed the girl . He turned round and went from the gate , crossed over the road by the timber yard just opposite the workhouse . He returned in about two minutes . Witness then closed the gate . He returned again in about two minutes . The girl Eliza Smith

      was with him . Mr . Eaton made no remark . The Southampton Arms is not far from the workhouse , —By Mr . Huddlestone . —I leave off duty at nine o ' clock at night . It was half an hour before leaving off duty that Mr . Eaton returned with the girl . —Mr . Donald Fraser , senior churchwarden of St . Pancras parish , No . 1 , Oakley-square , Camden-town , was present at the investigation into the affair beiore the board of directors , & c . Both Mr . Eaton and th- ? girl Smith were present , and he ( Mr . Eaton ) heard all that took place on that occasion . Witness put a great many questions to them , all of which they answered . They were taken down in writing by Mr Seston . Mrs . Price was examined . Witness asked her whether she had received any money from the girl Smith ; she said she had received 2 s , Cd .

      Asked her when ; she said tbe doy after she returned from Hampstead with Mr . Eaton . She was quite sure it was the day after she returned from Hampstead , and not the day after she returned from service . Don ' t believe that Mr . Eaton made any observation or statement with reference to the 2 s . 6 d . the girl alleged to have been given to her . —By Mr . Huddlestone—He denied the whole of tbo charge at tbe close of the proceedings . — Ann Webb sworn : She once lived as servant in a brothel , in Brunswick-buildings , Cromer-street , St . Pancras . She identified the girl Eliza Smith as having been there . Could not say when she saw her there , She ( witness ) never saw tbe gentleman ( Mr . Eaton ) at the bar in tbe house with the girl . She was accompanied by a fair man . She described the dress she wore . She had left three

      months . —Mary Sullivan , a nurse in the workhouse , gave evidence as to the corresponding dress worn by the girl . —Sergeant Brown , 45 S , traced the house in Brunswick-buildings . —Mr , Ballautino said this concluded the ease for the prosecution . — Mr . Combe said ho would carefully and attentively persuo the depositions before calling on Mr , Eaton for his defence , and he remanded the case until Monday next . —The investigation lasted till a late hour , when bail was accepted for tbe appearance of the accused . Crowds assembled outside the

      court . Stabbing . —Thomas Humphrey 13 years of age , was placed at the bar before Mr . Combe , charged by William Burton , 87 E division , with having stabbed him with intent to murder . —The Prosecutor , whose left arm was in a sling , and who was in a weakly state in consequence of loss of blood , having been swovn , said that on Sunday morning about two o ' clock he was on duty in Brunswickbuildings , St , Pancras , when several men and women were hallooing and causing a groat disturbance , to the annoyance of the inhabitants . Ho remonstrated with them , and requested them quietly to desist and go home . He knew them to be bad characters , and one of them , named Smith

      called him names and abused him violently . Witness collared him . A woman named Caroline Smith ,- alias Bishop , struck and kicked him , when he let go the prisoner Smith and seized her , and on their arrival in a dark place in Brunswick-street , St . Pancras , the prisoner Humphrey came behind him and struck him a violent blow on the back of the neck , and be then saw him put his hand into his pocket and pull something out of it , but he could not see what it was . He then struck him ( witness ) several times , and one blow which was given on his left shoulder caused bis arm to drop powerless by his side . On his arrival at the station house , he found that be had been wounded by some sharp instrument in two places—one on tbe arm ,

      and tha otber on the breast . He was not aware that he bad been stabbed before he arrived at the station bouse . His upper coat was cut through in no less than six separate places , and his under garments were also cut through . The wounds were bleeding . He was taken to the London University Hospital , where his wounds were dressed by tho surgeon . —William Broom , 155 E , said , that he was on duty at tho station house when the charge was brought in . He saw Humphrey pass something behind a woman- to another woman named Bishop , who dropped it into a boot in the dock . On searching the boot , a large clasp knife was found therein , —Sergeant Dyer , i E , said it was a dagger-knife with one blade and a sprinff . —

      Prisoner : That is not my knife . I stabbed him with a knife which I threw away in Cromer-street , on our road to the station bouse . —Mr . Combe examined the knife , and remarked tbat it was a dagger only fit for an assassin to carry about him . — Mr . Baxton Shilloter , house surgeon of the London University Hospital , said that at a quarter past two o ' clock on Sunday morning the injured constable was brought to the hospital . His clothes we ' re , very much cut . The wounds on his person were clean cut wounds , such as might have been inflcted by some sharp instrument , such as that now produced . —John Bosfer , net and tent manufacturer , of tbe New-road , St . Pancras , was passing by and saw the prisoner Humphrey in the custody of Burton , 87 E , struggling with him . Saw him strike him several times , but could not say that ho had a knife in his band or not . He struck liim on the body and arms .

      Heard- some one exclaim "For God ' s sake stand back , he has got a knife ; he deserves all the police can give him . "—The prisoner again said : I threw the knife away with which I stabbed the constable . He beat mo about so much that I did not know what to do . If it was a boy I would have taken my coat off , and fought with him , but when a man comes up and strikes mo I do not care what I do . —Mr . Combe : ( to Broome ) Have you heard the prisoner make that statement ? lie replied in theafiirmative . —Mr . Combe now cautioned the prisoner thathe wasabout to commit him for trial , and he was not bound to say anything . Was ho willing to sign tho statement he had made ? The prisoner expressed bis willingness to do so , and the clerk took it down in writing and the prisoner signed it . . He said he was emp loyed as porter at Mr . Edwards ' s , cheesemonger , of Marcbmont-strett , Brunswick-square . He was fully committed for trial .

      Richard Luppoy , John Smith , Alfred Ilatton , Caroline Bishop , and Emma Bishop , wero then charged with having been concerned in assaulting the officers and inciting the mob to violence and to rescue tho prisoner Humphrey . The prisoners pursued the constable Burton whilst- he had ¦ the prisoner in custody . They , with some ofthe mob acted with considerable violence , pelted him with atonea

      and called for . a rescue . The prisoner Smith first attacked the officer , and was rescued from the constables . Emma Bishop was discharged ; Caroline was sentenced to one month ' s imprisonment , with hard labour ; Luppey and Smith 20 s . each , or fourteen days ; and Hatton 40 s ., or a month ' s imprisonment in the House of Correction . BOW-STREET . —Charge op Embezzlement . — Edward Webster , remanded on several charges of appropriating to his own use several sums of money entrusted to him by his master , E .- H . Cardwoll , Esq ., M . P ., to pay tradesmen ' s bills was

      re-exammed . —It appeared that the friends of the prisoner bad paid two of tbe accounts since his apprehension , but the brewer declined to receive the amount of his bill , as the prisoner was in custody , although he had been pressed to accept the amount ( £ 2710 s . 6 d . ) by the prisoner ' s friends . — Mr . Henry said it was wrong in the other tradesmen to have received tbe amonnt of their bills on the part of tbe prisoner after he was in custody , — Tbe depositions of tho witnesses were then taken and read over , and the prisoner was committed for trial .

      MARLBOROUGH STR . EET . -Selling Beer at tub Exhibition . —J . Bartholomew and J . Furzer , two young men in the employ of Mr . Street , landlord of the Trevor Arms , Knightsbridgc , were charged with unlawfully selling beer in Hyde-park , contrary to the act 2 and 3 Vict ., c . 47 , s . 7 . —Mr . T . W . Hall , cashier to Messrs . Fox and Henderson , the contractors , said . that he wns instructed to appear against the defendants by Mr . Digby Wyatt , the secretary to the Executive Committee ofthe Crystal Palace , in consequence of tbe defendants persisting in selling beer in the vicinity of the Crystal Palace , notwithstanding the caution they received from tho magistrates on Tuesday last . On Saturday afternoon the defendants were in the

      park , near the Crystal Palace , selling beer , wbicn they had with them in large cans . As they had been previously convicted of a similar offence , he gave them in charge , —Tbe defendants said they were not in the park at all with their beer cans . Tbey were outside the park railing when one of the workmen at the building called to them for a pint of beer , which was supplied to him , and as tbey were leaving the building Mr . Hall gave them in charge . —Mr . Hardwick said ho explained tbe law fully to them when they were brought before him on Tuesday last . On that occasion , in consequence of their promising not to offend again , he let them off with a , slight fine . As a cautwa to thm for th & future , he should fine them 40 s . each .

      A Distressed Pole , —A foreign person presented the following note to Mr . Hardwick : — " Monsieur le Magistral ,-. Pere des malheureux vous aurez la bonte de pardonner a un infortune ' exule . Ne pouvant rien avoir de la societfi , etant sans travail et ne connaissant pas le langue de ce pays . Sans chemises et autres effe ' t ? , je me trouve dans une aSreuse position . Ayant entenrfu de votre bonte , je viens vous supplier , d ' avoir pitie de moi , en me secournt commo il vous plaira . Dieu vous rendra votre charit 6 et la reconnaissance sera eternelle . Je suts aveo respect , Joseph Miebzei willie , Refugio Polonais . "—Mr . Harkwick put some questions to the applicant , and elicited that he had taken refuge in France some time ago , but

      having got his passport vised for Lyons about a fortnight ago . As soon as he reached Lyons he was placed in the custody ot a gendarme , taken to Boulogne , and from thence compelled to go to England . Being without work or friends , and in a state of utter destitution , he had written the above note , in the hope of obtaining some temporary assistance . —Mr . Hardwick requested the applicant to wait for a short time , and then sent an officer to the Polish Society with a message relative to the application . —M . Sulzcouski , the secretary , made \ , js appearance , and having been informed of the treatment the applicant had sustained at the hands of the French authorities , said ibis was an exceedingly common case . For some time past it had been the

      open practice of the French authorities to clear their country of idle , profligate , or criminal foreigners by sending them to England . He believed that not fewer than 800 doubtful characters bad been within a limited period sent to this country , This practice would account for the appearance of the applicant here , who , though with a passport to Lyons , was compelled , when he got to tbat city , to leave it , and to embark at Boulogne for England . The French government bad doubtless found tbat tbe applicant was without visible means of subsistence , and had , in the customary way , provided means for getting him out Of France into England . —Mr . Hardwick said , it was a monstrous system to convert England into tbe Botany

      Bay of foreign countries . —The secretary said the practice of sending foreigners to England waa not confined to France . The society had ascertained that Polish refugees had been sent from Hamburgh and from Switzerland here under the same circumstances . With respect to the applicant , it was certain he had not been sent from France merely from political causes , and as he had no papers with bim , it would be an almost useless task to apply to the French embassy for information , —Mr . Hardwick considered something ought to be done to stop . 1 system that added materially to the load of pauperism and crime already imposed upon England . He hardly

      knew what . step to take in the present case . If he relieved the applicant , it would be only encouraging others to come to the court , and no real good would bo done , as the applicant , could not expect to get employment here , when every department of industry was overcrowded . If the applicant was allowed to continue in a state of starvation , he might be driven to crime , and thus a magistrate hardly knew what to do under such circumstances . Something effectual , however , ought to be done to stop a growing evil of such magnitude . —Arrangements were made with tbe secretary to give the applicant some trifling temporary relief , ' and he was then dismissed .

      MARYLEBONB . —Tub Transport Escapeb from WooLwwn . —On Tuesday George Martin was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton , for further examination , charged with having , before tho expiration of his sentence of transportation , made bis escape with two other convicts from the Warrior hulk , at Woolwich . It appeared that the prisoner got away from the bulk in a boat , and tbat ho was ultimately captured by Smith , of the detective police , on tbe night of tbe 23 rd ult ., shortly after he had made his egress from a public house in Great Portlandstreet . He did not deny the charge against him , and the remand took place in order to afford time for Mr . Masterman , the superintendent of the Warrior , to ascertain by applying at the Home-office as

      to whether the prisoner should be handed over to the authorities at Woolwich , whence he had made his escape , or be sent for trial for the offence . It was further shown in the course of tho inquiry , that the prisoner had been in " trouble" prior to his sentence of transportation , for the crime of housebreaking in High-street , adjacent to this court . A communication was now made to the magistrate iu reference to his worship ' s remarks upon the former inquiry , as to the Home-office authorities being made acquainted with tbe particulars of the case , and the prisoner was , after proof being given by 153 E , as to the sentence of ten years' transportation passed upon him at the Central Criminal Court , committed for trial .

      SOUTHWARK . — Cutting and Woukdino .-William Conly was placed at tbe bar , before Mr . A'Beckett , charged with assaulting and wounding Charles Percival in tbe throat with tbe point of bis umbrella , with intent to do him grevious bodily harm . —In consequence of tbe serious nature of the injury inflicted on the complainant he had been confined to his bed and was incapacitated from attending to give evidence against his assailant until the present occasion . At one period , shortly after the alleged outrage ,, the complainant ^ life was considered in imminent danger , but he is now pronounced by his medical attendant as convalescent . — The complainant , on being sworn , deposed as follows : On Monday , tbe 7 th ult ., I at

      tended this court for the purpose of applying for a warrant against Mary Ann Edwards , who struck me a violent blow on the head with a pint pot in consequence of my having interfered to prevent ber from striking a female . Tho woman Edwards is cohabiting with the prisoner Conly , and the app lication against her having been granted , a day was appointed for bearing the evidence against ber at this court . Previously , however , to which , on the afternoon of Wednesday the 9 th ult ., about five o ' clock , as I . walking along Newingfon-causeway towards the Elephant and Castle , I sawtheprisoner with an umbrella in his hand . H e was coming from tho opposite direction , and near the King ' s Head , when he made a sudden spring

      towards me and thrust the point of the umbrella with such force into my mouth as . to knock out some of my front teeth , and the point perforated my throat to aconsiderable extent , and injured me so severely that I was rendered incapable of securing my assailant , or making any effort for that purpose . The prisoner then , under the impression that I was about to retaliate upon bim for the attack he made upon me , ran towards an oyster stall which stood near the door of the King ' s Head public-house , and snatched up a knife to defend myself ; but I was quite unable either to mabo any alarm , or even to see what had become of him , and I was compelled to be taken home , where I have ever since been

      confined , and attended by a surgeon for tbo serious injuries inflicted in my throat , under which I am still suffering . He added , that he had never given the prisoner any offence , nnd was confident that it was in consequence of his having applied for a warrant against the woman with whom ho cohabits that he made the attack upon him . —Hidddington , of tbo City 'Police , stated , that I e knew tho prisoner Io belong to the " swell mob , " and bearing tbat lie had assaulted the complainant in the manner described , and moreover that he had since deserted bis usual haunts , he kept a look-out for him in the 'City / thinking it likely that he would try and do "business" there while keeping out of the way of the metropolitan police . In this expectation lie was not disappointed , for on Saturday , the
