      • ommending a return to the system of in-door relief as practised in 1833 , declaring that the taxing powers now vested in the vice-guardians were objectionable , and their administration extravagant ; and that it was unjust to throw upon the land alono = the maintenance of the li i ; h poor . The operation of the existing law was encouragingtho growth of pauperism , until it threatened to engulph nearly the whole population , and costing sums which promised to absorb nearly the whole resources of tho country . Lord Naas , in seconding the resolutions , contended that the power of granting indiscriminate out-door relief tended to retard the improvement which was now gradually becoming manifest in Ireland .

      Sir W . Sombbvulb excused himself from the necessity of tracing tbe past history of the poor law by the fact , that the topics referred to in the resolutions before them , and especially the question of out-door relief , had been recently in vestigattd before a committee , and debated in the legislature at ample length . Without expressing any abstract approval of the system , he contended that the late introduction of out-door relief had been absolutely necessary to avert the most deplorable sacrifice of human life . It was , however , only admitted under the overwhelming pressure of distress ; and at present the relief of p aupers out of the act was much diminished , that of able-bodied persons having decreased from 168 . 000 on May 12 th , 1849 , to only

      102 in the corresponduyr week this year . The right hon . baronet proceeded to vindicate the vice-guardians from the charge of mal-administration and extravagance , and enbirged upon the difficulty of the position in which they found themselves during the crisis ofthe Irish famine . As that country was now improving , he trusted that the resolutions would not be persisted with , as they might retard the consolidation of the new industrial condition of the people , without holding out the prospect of any practical result . Col . Dvsse supported the resolutions ; which were opposed by Mr . Sosous Crawford and Mr . P . Scbqpe . The latter hon . gentleman added a variety of details relative to the mismanagement of the Castlebar workhouse .

      Sir L . O'Betes defended the guardians ofthe inculpated unions , and declared that the promulgation of similar w parte and scandalous statements or the working of the poor law system was producing the most injurious effects hi Ireland . Mr . O'FLiijKBrr gave a general support to theresolutions . The house then divided—For the resolutions 65 Against 99—25 The report on the Railway Abandonment Bill was brought up , and two new clauses , having reference to Scotland , added , the discussion of the amended bill being postponed by consent until the thud reading .

      Oa the motion for the second reading of the Tenements Recovery ( Ireland ) Bill , 3 Ir . P . Sceope remonstrated against passing at the present conjuncture a measure designed to factlita te the process of ejectment in Ireland . He mo ved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six months . Mr . O'Flahkstt opposed the measure as being illtimed . Mr . Hatcheu . also considered the bill unnecessary , as the Irish law already offered sufficiently ready means for dispossessing tenants of their holdings at the will of the landlords . A miscellaneous discussion ensued , which occupied some time . Ultimately Mr . Fuewes declined to persevere with his measure against the opposition now offered to it , and the amendment being agreed to the bill was lost . The house adjourned at half-past one o ' clock .

      WEDNESDAY , June 5 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Edocahosai , Bitx—The debate on the second reading of Mr . Fox ' s Educational Bill ( adjourned on the 17 th of April ) was resumed by Mr . Ansiey , who expressed his codial concurrence in tbe principle of the bill as a wise and liberal measure , which , whilst it enlarged the means of secular instruction , recognised the necessity of religious education , and tbe rights of parents to teach their children religion in the form they preferred . He examined at much length the objections urged against the bill , the rejection of which would indirectly sanction the existing insufficient system . Mr . Hekbt Dbemmosd observed that it had been

      unanimously agreed in this discussion that the State should educate the people ; but there was a confusion between the terms education and " instruction , " which differed in meaning and object . Education was the drawing forth of that which is good , and the non-development of that which is evil ; and he believed that State education was an impossibility . Mr . Wood defended the educational foundations and institutions connected with the Church , which treated man as a spiritual being , and , whilst improving his intellectual and moral qualities , deemed it of paramount importance to educate his spiritual faculties . He showed that the Church of England had not been , as alleged , behind hand in the establishment of schools , and that since 1811 , the date of the National Society , there had been an immense improvement ia the system adopted in the application of the Parliamentary grants for

      stimulating education , the Church schools in 1847 amounting to 6 , 200 , and the scholars to 400 , 000 . The sum expended annually on Church education alone was £ 874 , 000 ., whereas ihe whole amount of Parliamentary grants from the faegimiing was only £ 720 , 000 . Everything in the present system of education was in progress ; the best p art was only three years old , and a cut and dried p lan , like that in the bill , founded upon a philosophical principle , would interfere with that progress . When there was a real check to the expansion of education , it would be time for the legislature to interfere ; but the subject should he taken up by the government . Giving credit to Mr . Fox for sincere and even exalted views , yet , believing that education demanded highly qualified teachers , or the care of pastors or parents , he conk ' not consent to place children in schools where they would receive a precarious instruction .

      Mr . M . Gmsox said there was no question in which the working classes took a deeper interest than that of unsectarian education . If Parliament made school attendance compulsory upon persons employed in factories as a condition of earning bread , « ought to provide schools , at the expense of the community , which all religious denominations could attend . He did not approve of giving the Privy Council power to levy rates in support of schools ; he wished the power to be permissive only . He was not indifferent to religious education , but that was left where it is by the bill , which did not interfere with the machinery for relicious

      education . Ao less than £ 10 , 000 , 000 was annually spent in England for what wa s called religious education , twice as much as was expended in any other country ; the bill did not touch this enormous sum , so that religious instruction was amply provided for , and now it was asked to provide secular instruction that should be within the reach of the people . Secular instruction was not the province or function of the Church ; if it was , what a reproach would it be to the Church that forty per cent , of the adult population of England and Wales could not write their names in the marriage registers !

      Mr . Namer believed the exact principle of this lull to be this—that it is the duty ofthe Legislature to compel a provision by rate upon property for an education in which the exclusion of religion was an essential element . Hitherto education in this country had been based upon religion ; the morals of Christianity were the highest form of morals , and Mr . Locke connected even intellectual refinement with Christianity . Religion aud Christianity having been recognised as the necessarv basis of another kind . It was said that an instruction should not be given to children which their parents did not approve of , but he maintained that it was the duty of the State to give such an education as a l / hnstian parent would approve of .

      Mr . Fox accused the opposers of the bill of misrepresenting its nature and object . Ho did not seek to exclude religion ; be sought to extend instruction , founding his measure on the demonstrated principle , that something could be done , not in demolishing the existing educational institutions and reconstructing them , but in improving the agency now at . work , and making it so harmonize with the new that a greater amount of good might be accomplished , lie repeated some of the facts he had stated on introducing the bill , showing the deficiency of education in the country , which pointed , he thought , to some flaw in the existing system . Theological teaching , unaccompanied by expansion ofthe intellect and amelioration of the heart , took no root aud produced no harvest . The divisions prevailing amongst educational bodies proved that something more was requisite to keep education from retroeradine , as it was reallv doin . 2 in some

      districts . He denied that tbe terms " secular" and " religious" were antithetically opposed . It was a monstrous , an almost impious , assumption that studying the works of our Maker led the mind aw ay from reli g ion . He regarded religious and secular instruction as auxiliary to each other ; they could not be combined whilst so many diversities of opinion existed in matters of ™ u & i . The Charch of England had a higher 3 ^ secular education ; its cl e rgy were not -2 SuVib £ - ^ huasters . Moreover , whilst Suublic ^ 1 te ] n » - K ^ tei an outlay of rwtt ^ sS ^^^ s ^ 'iizssx ^ iftsarf lar and religious mstruetion whicfi was indispen sable to the attainment of the full amount of / Sod

      —of an education that should not leave children ignorant of the most importamVearthly matters connected with their daily interests . ;< Ho "did : not propose education as a panacea ; but it was : an essential condition , without which the best efforts to subdue or mitigate social crime and misery wouiu lose their efficacy . j , " .: ' . " . .. „ . Mr . Mustz sujported thebilh He did notohject to Church education , but he . knewtbat the . working classes were decidedly against the n *?™™™ the Church in this matter . The question then was whether theirchildren should go altogether without education , or have such an ' education as this bill ^ Chouse divided , when the motion for the second reaS was negatived by 287 against 58 , so ^ fwliS and ' Measures Bill went through committee pro forma , and the Titles of Religious Congregations Bill was read a third time and The " house adjourned at six o ' clock . THURSDAY , June 6 .

      HOUSU OF LORDS . — Parliamenxam Voters ( Ireland ) Bill . —Marquis of Lahsdownk moved the second leading of the bill , which , after a long discussion , was read a second time , and their lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Faciobies Bai ,. — The house then went into committee on this bill . Mr . Bakkes said it was some time since the attention of the house was occupied with this very interesting question . He had now to state that the important amendment , which was to be introduced hy the noble lord the member for Colchester ( Lord John Manners ) would not be proposed at this stage of the proceedings , but on tne bringing up of the report . He ( Mr . Bankes ) made this explanation on behalf of the noble lord , who was unavoidably

      absent from the house , and was at that moment attending a public meeting in a distant part of the country . The amendment to which he referred had in view the confining the work in factories , of young persons and young females to ten hours a day . Mr . Elliot rose to move the following amendment : —Clause 1 , page 2 , line 8 , leave out all words after the word "that , " for the purpose of inserting these words— " it shall not be lawful for young persons and females to be employed or to work in any factory for more than ten hours daily , between half past five o ' clock in the morning and half-past eight in the evening ; and it shall . be lawful for said young persons and females to work by sets . or relays . Provided . always , that each such set or relay

      shall , during the hours between half-past five in the morning and half-past eight in the evening , be absent from the factory for a period of not less than three consecutive hours . Provided always , tbat on Saturdays the period of work of such young persons or females shall not exceed eight consecutive hours , exclusive of mealtimes , between the hours of half-past five in the morning and four in the afternoon . " The hon . member proceeded to refer to the relay system at present adopted among the factory operatives of Roxburgh , Berwickshire , Selkirkshire , andPeebleshire . Those persons were at present working contentedly and happy , and earning good wages ; but for some reason or other they were now to be at once discharged from their

      work , and thrown on the parish for a subsistence . He wished to know why such a calamity was to bo inflicted on so large a manufacturing district as that ? Mr . Horner s reports stated , that if it were possible to keep the machines in mills going all through the twenty-four hours , it would be much more advantageous for all . He protested against any law being passed which would have the effect of placing the mills in his part of the country on the same footing as the mills in tho north of England , which were generally owned by large cap italists . The bill as it stood would have a very injuriouseSect upon the owners of water-mills , for in winter time it was impossible to say when the mills would commence working , owing to the floods , and

      i in dry weather , when they would be compelled to stop . Indeed , he thought tho bill would ruin many of the millowners , and be the means of throwing out of employ a great number of labouring people , who would bave no other means of livelihood . Although he was quite ready to admit that only one rule was to be applied to all mills and factories , yet he had to remind the house that , while that one rule would not interfere with the operations of one class of the persons who were to be affected by the bill , it would act in a very injurious manner to another class . ( Hear . ) He , therefore , thought it his duty to propose the amendment of which he had given notice . Sir G-. Grey said the amendment of the hon . gentleman was opposed to the whole spirit arid

      purpose of the bill . He was quite ready to admit that a general law of this kind must operate somewhat unequally in different parts of tne country : but that was an objection not only to this bill , but to the whole course of legislation on the subject , and his hon . friend had , in fact , raised the whole question whether there should be any legislation at all as to the duration of labour in factories . If he thought mills worked by water-power should be specially exempted , he ought to have proposed a separate clause to that effect , and not proposed a general alteration ofthe law , which would have the effect of sanctioning the relay system throughout the whole kingdom , subject , of coarse , to bis suggestion that the workers should have an interval of

      three hours during the day . Rather than have the alteration inserted in- the bill , he would leave the present law as it stood , because the effect in the former case would be to keep the children employed in factories away from their homes during a period of fifteen hours . As to water mills , a clause would come under their consideration , which provided that under certain circumstances mills might work until a later hour , to make up for lost time arising from a too deficient or a too abundant supply of water . But as the amendment of the hon . gentleman would have the effect of sanctioning the relay system throughout all the manufacturing districts , he felt bound to give it his opposition . Mr . IiETwooD said if there was one thing iu

      factory legislation more to be deprecated than another it was provisions of a partial nature . He regretted that the Right Hon . Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department should have given the sanction of his name and the sanction of Government to any departure from the Ten Hours Act . ( Hear , hear . ) Before the Right Honourable Baronet , however , gave that sanction , he ought to have found out what really was his own meaning and the meaning of the Legislature in reference to the Factory Enactment . If the Right Honourable Baronet had discovered that the intention ofthe Legislature was in favour of a relay system , the better course would have been for Government to have introduced a bill declaring that henceforth the relay system

      should be tolerated , though for his own part he was prepared to vote for any proposition that would have the effect of restoring the Ten Hours Act to its integrity . ( Hear , hear . ) He had sufficient confidence m the enterprise and stability of English manufacturers to believe that they could overcome almost every restriction that mi ght bo imposed upon them by factory acts , but so long as so much uncertainty prevails on the subject—so long as the system was tolerated of having one law this year and another next , it was impossible for them to carry on their operations with success . ( Cheers . ) He approved of the Ten Hours Bill when it was passed , and he did so now because he believed the hill was for the protection of women and children

      who were unable to protect themselves . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He never wished to place any restrictions either upon manual labourer machinery , and he was still as hostile to that as ever ; but as far as regarded women and children , he was quite ready to adopt restrictions for their safety . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Edwards supported the bill . Lord AsaxET denied that he had ever considered himself the champion ofthe factory operatives , but he had considered himself their friend —( hear , hear ) —and he declared before God that he had done that he had done that which he conceived to be best for

      their interests , in giving iu his adhesion to the Government Bill . —( Hear , hear . ) He had sacrificed much of his time in advocating their interests , and now it appeared he had scarificed his reputation by giving his adhesion to that measure . ( Loud cries of "No , no . " ) The Noble Lord concluded by stating that he wonldvote against tbe amendment . - Mr . W . Brown supported the amendment . He was quite ready to admit the Zealand talents of the Noblo Lord who bad just spoken , but he thought he was very much misinformed . There was a great spirit of hostility to tbe manufacturing interests abroad which attempted to refer all the vices . and miseries of tho workinn-olassea to the mills .

      Mr . AoiaoNBvand Mr . Williams supported the bill . Mr . B . Desisos said he believed the working classes in the West Riding felt grateful tothenoble lord , for the efforts which he had made to settle a vexed and difficult question . Ho thought he had done wisely in accepting the compromise whioh had been offered to him , and the operatives of the operatives of the country would have reason to thank him for tho remainder of their lives . ( Hear . ) Mr . BnorniEBTON did not hesitate to say , that this bill would be moro efficient and be more beneficial

      to the working classes than any other bill which had been passed into law , and he should give it his cordial support . Ho thought if thoy adopted the r elay system that the bill would ho rendered a complete nullity . ( Hear . ) Mr . Unionr supported tho clause , and suggested that a Select Committee should be appointed to consider the propriety of sanctioning relays , before the house passed the bill . The committee divided , and the amendment was negatived by a majority of 246 votes to 45 . The clause was tfaeu agreed to . Lord . Ashley moved an amendment to a subsequent clause , by which the hours wherein children , between the ages of eight and thirteen were , to be

      •- ¦ . ¦ .V;V.. 'L Ui^Wimosdai > Junb 3....

      allowed to work in factories , ; were limited to the twelve hours , from six a . m . to six p . m . . Mr . Bright remarked that the effect of the amendment would be to limit to ten and a h alf hours the time : during which the machinery of factories could be kept going . . Some prolonged conversation on this proposition was closed by a division , when tho numbers stood : For the amendment , 72 ; against it 102 . Lord Ashley , declared that he should bring forward the claims of tho children to protection . from over-toil again before the bill had passed its last

      stage . The remaining clauses were then passed by the committee , and the house resumed , the report being ordered to be brought on Monday . Mbtbopohian Inxebment Bill . —The house then went into committee on this bill , beginning at the 19 th clause , and the discussion engaged the house until midnight , when cluuse 23 having been agreed to the house again resumed . The other orders , and a discussion raised upon a motion of Mr . Sbarraan Crawford ' s regarding tenant right in Ulster , occupied tho rest of the night .

      FRIDAY , Mat 31 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Bill for the Abolition of Susdat Faibs was read a second time , on the motion of the Earl of Carlisle . Lord Lucan moved the second reading of the Distress fob Rekt ( Ireland ) Bill . The . motion was agreed to , and the bill read a second time . Susdat Tbadino Pbbvbhtioh Bui . —The Earl of Harrowbt moved tbat the house should go into committee on this bill . Lord Brougham looked upon measures of this sort with great anxiety . No ono had ever felt the deep importance of Sabbath rest more than he had , but if they attempted to do too much , his fear was they would defeat the object they had iu view , and render the consecration ofthe Sabbath unpopular with the multitude . If they strained too hard , their

      penalties would all bo in vain . Why should this measure be confined to tho metropolis ? and why should a person there be allowed to buy milk and cream on the Sunday , but no tea and coffee ? Shaving and hair dressing after ten o ' clock were to be prohibited ; but people might buy newspapers , they were one of the absolute necessaries of life . They could not buy a bible , a prayer-hook , or a sermon , but they could buy Bell's Life in London , if they wanted to know anything about the Derby or the Oaks . ( Hear , hear . ) He must take this-opportunity of expressing his-surprise at the outrageous address agreed to in the other house , by which all Post Office labour , and consequently all business ,, was to be suspended for twenty-four hours , for it appeared all the mails were to be stopped on Sundays . ' ?• The Earl of Mounicasuell . — That is not'this

      bill . . Lord Brougham . —Did the noble lord think he was such an idiot as not to know that ? ( Great laughter . ) He knew very well it was not the bill before the house , but if they passed the measure now under consideration , the other might follow in its wake . All ships , he supposed , were not to sail on the Sabbath ; these men seemed to think that idleness was the best way of keeping the Sabbath . He had been in many countries , not only in those which were Catholic , but in Genera and the Lutharn states of tho North of Europe , and he thought it was only just to this country to state that nowhere , excepting perhaps in the towns of Scotland , was the Sabbath better observed than in England . He knew no great city in which the Sabbath was less broken than in this metropolis .

      The Earl of Harrowby said , that in the poorer districts of the metropolis more business was done on Sundays than on any other days . In reference to newspapers he wished to err rather on the side of indulgence than severity . His object was to put an end to useless Sunday trading , without interfering with that which was absolutely necessary . He hoped the house would allow the bill to go into committee . The Bishop of Si . Asaph supported the bill , and instanced the New-cut and Seymour-street , in Lambeth , as places which were a disgrace to any civilised country ou the Sabbath . ' After some further discussion , the bill passed through committee .

      Australian Colonies Bill . —Earl Gret moved the second reading of this bill . Dwelling upon the rapid progress of the ' colonies in . question , where the population had increased tenfold , aud tho exports fifteen fold , within the past twenty years , the noble earl explained the object of the present bill to be the provision of a free , regular , and constitutional government for the British dependencies in Australia . Some discussion ensued , after whioh the bill was read a second time . Their Lordships then adjourned .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Sir E . Boston moved a resolution , declaring that it is unjust and impolitic to expose the free-grown sugar of the British colonies and possessions abroad to unrestricted competition with the sugar of foreign slave-trading countries . The question , he observed , was one of great importance to the West India colonies , but . of stillgreater importance to the interests of humanity ; and his object was to consider the question as one of humanity and of high moral principle rather than of trade or as affecting the prosperity of our colonies . He traced the history of the alteration hy the . sugar duties from 1841 , when those on slave grown sugar had been reduced to a scale which it was supposed would have enabled our colonial sugar to compete with its rival in the British market to 1846 , when the measure was introduced against

      which he complained . Though the effects of that measure had been mitigated by the alteration in 1848 , whereby the colonists were granted a comparative respite , there was nothing in the condition of our West India colonies which warranted the supposition tbat when the differential duties were brought to a level the distress in the West Indies would not be as great as before . Reminding the house of the misery and destruction of life attending the slave trade , he urged tbat , if the slave grown sugar of Cuba and Brazil were admitted to free competition with our own sugar , we must make up our minds that we were promoting a system which produced as much misery and degradation as could exist in any human condition , and which was the worst enemy of civilisation and of the .-diffusion of tho Gospel in Africa . Mr . R . Evans seconded the motion .

      Mr . Hume concurred in believing that the West Indies were subjected to an unfair competition , but believed that they did not so much require protection as the abolition ofthe laws which prevented their obtainiug a full supply of free labour . By encouraging the importation of African neeroes as free apprentices , wo should place the West Indians upon an equal . footing with the planters of Cuba and Brazil , and thereby diminish the demand for slave labour , and do more to destroy the traffic than could be effected by all our

      efforts at forcible repression . The hon . member concluded by moving as an amendment to the motion the addition of words denouncing tho obstructions interposed by the Legislature , iu the sugar growing colonies , to the supply of free labour from Africa and elsewhere . Mr . Mangles supported tho amendment . A long discussion ensued , and the house divided—For tho motion 234 Against .. 275—41 The house adjourned at two o ' clock .

      Sheepwalks And Blackcocks In Sombbsetshi...

      Sheepwalks and Blackcocks in Sombbsetshibb ' . —Mr . Pusey reports the following as the result of his examination of Exmoor :-- " I was . " says the hon . gentleman , " surprised to find that 'moors which had formerly appeared to be fitted only for the pursuit ofthe blackcock and the deer , consist , in greater part , of sound land—not in my opinion merely , but in that of the farmers , one of whom said to me , 'there was land enough idle to employ the surplus population of England . ' The expression , I now believe , would be literally true if applied to the country at large . On the Exmoor wastes you find the heath growing knee-high—a proof that the land has strength ; you frequently find tall ferns mixing their bright green or yellow fans with these purple bushes ; yet fern is an unfailing sien

      that tho land has depth as well as goodness , and wherever fern crows , unless , indeed , the elevation be too great , wheat might be reaped . But in that neighbourhood there is a wonderful indifference in the owners to the use of land , which struck me more because I had not yet observed it elsewhere . The moors are divided into largo sheep-walks for neighbouring farms . Tho sheep , a dwindled breed , are kept for their wool , and are sometimes left to die on the hills of old age , in tho snow . The rent may be one shilling or two shillings an acre . Sometimes you find large pieces ofthe best land

      onclosed with a high fence , and you hope that thc owner is about to begin tilling his freehold . On tbe contrary , the object of this improvement is to keep out the only sign of farming , the sheep , and to preserve the best of tho land—because where the land is best the covert is highest—an undisturbed realm for the blackcock . Every blackcock killed by an owner of these moors has cost more , I was convinced , than a full-fed ox ; though , indeed , it is nothing now that sporting should impede farming . " It is rumoured that not less than 1 , 000 military invalids are expected home from India in tho course of the ensuing year . .

      BOW-STREET . — Attempted Suicide . — A wretched-looking young woman-was charged with attempting ., to commit suicide . —Police-constab le 174 F stated that on Sunday he was on duty in Long-lane , about three o ' clock , wheu he was called into Neal ' s-yard , Seven-dials , where he found the prisoner , who appeared to be suffering from the effects of drink and poison . She had swallowed some sugar of lead ; but being drunk , her hand was . too unsteady to hold the phial straight , and she therefore spilt some of the poison . She was conveyed to the station , where an emetic was administered to her , which operated effectually , and she soon recovered . —The prisoner said she had been

      drinking freely during the day , and on her return home she looked in the cupboard for something to eat . She , however ^ found nothing but the phial ; and fancying that it contained gin , she endeavoured to drink it . —She -was discharged with a severe reprimand . ... ... ' WORSHIP-STREET .-A Police Trap . —Philip Morgan and James Roach , alios Brown , the latter of whom was recognised by the police as a returned transport , were charged with . having feloniously entered the dwelling-house of Mr . Edward Hogg , postmaster and money-order office keeper , of the Hackney . district , with intent to plunder the premises , and also with having violently assaulted Eliza Chapman , ono of . his female servants . —Inspector Cowardof the N divisionstated that in

      , , consequence of information he received on the 11 th ult . from a man , named Myers , who apprised him that he had been solicited to take part in a concerted plan to enter and rob tho Hackney Post-office , in conjunction with two desperate housebreakers , and that it was their intention to carry out their design on an early Sunday evening , when it was known that the family were usually absent , he proceeded to the house and kept watch there on the evenings of the 12 th ult , and two following Sundays , but nothing occurred to confirm the information so given until Sunday last , when ho again proceeded there , with . several others , and having posted Sergeant Attwood in a coal-celler at the end ofthe passage , immediately fronting the street-door , secreted

      himself and Sergeant Brenian in a darkened room adjoining , the prosecutor , pursuant to previous arrangement , having left home with ins family . They remained so concealed till about ten o ' clock / when akriockoamo at the door , which was opened by the female servant , and he heard the prisoner Morgan inquire if her master was at home . On telling him that he was not , he asked her to allow him to wait till he returned , and she conducted him down to the kitchen , from which he came up in about teri minutes , andcalled out to the girl that he would let himself out , as he could not wait any longer . He then opened the street door , and the prisoner Roach , and the man Myers , who had given the information , immediately rushed

      n , and Morgan closed the door on tho outside , leaving thom both in the passage . A violent struggle then ensued between the servant-girl and one of the men , followed by a heavy fall in the passage , and on witness and Breman hastening out they found Attwood engaged in a contest with Roach , whom they overpowered and secured . Boach was then conveyed to the station-house , where he was searched , and two pieces of a strong cord , with a running noose at the end of ono of them , together with a . crowbar and a strong clasp knife , were found in his possession . The prisoner Morgan was at the same time brought in by Clarke , another constable , who had been watching outside , and secured him as he was leaving the premises . —Eliza

      Chapman , the prosecuiors ' s servant , corroborated the detail . given by the inspector of tne circumstances which occurred after the entrance ofthe prisoner Morgan until he admitted the two other men , and added , that the instant ho got into the house the prisoner Roach rushed towards her , and grasping her tightly round tho throat with his loft hand , struck her with the other several violent blows in the face . After knocking the candlestick out of her hand he again struck her a heavy blow , which foiled her to the ground , but before he had time to renew his violence he was seized by the officers , who rescued her from further ill-usage . She remained , however , iu a fainting condition for some time , bleeding profusely from the face , which was

      much bruised and swollen , and she was still suffering great pain in her throat , caused by the force with which the prisoner had grasped it . — Sergeant Attwood also deposed to the desperate attack which had been made upon the servant-girl by the prisoner Roach , who , after knocking the candlestick out of her hand , was pressing her neck with all his force , when witness rushed out to her assistance , and , falling helplessly against him , she dropped to the floor . The prisoner then commenced an attack upon him , and whilst defending himself with his staff the inspector and Sergeant Brenian hastened to his . aid , and the prisoner was ultimately secured . —The prosecutor , Mr . Edward Hogg , deposed to the nature of the arrangement he had made with the police , which had originated in a previous communication

      he had received from the prisoners' supposed accomplice , Myers , and that , had the" robbery been effected , he must have sustained a severe loss , [ as he was necessarily compelled to keep a largo quantity of cash and stamps upon the premises . — The prisoners declined offering any defence , and were ordered to be remanded for the completion of the depositions . —On Wednednesday the prisoners were finally examined and committed to Newgate for trial . —The prisoners were' next charged upon the information of Myers with having stolen sixty yards of carpetting from the shop of Messrs . Rowlandson , furnishing-warehousemen in the Whitechapel-road , and an elderly woman , named RosaHatley , the wife of a general salesman in Wentworth-street , was charged with having feloniously received tho stolen property . —The whole of the prisoners were

      committed . MARYLEBONE . —Extensive Foroebt upon a Clerovman . —Elizabeth AnneChambers was brought up for re-examination on the charge of having uttered forged acceptances to the amount of £ 400 , in the name of the Rev . Charles Randolph . —The evidence gone into was to the effect that in April , 1849 , the prisoner took a furnished house of Miss Goodman , Nottingham-terrace , New-road , at an annual rent of £ 160 , and that in the same month of last year she quitted without giving any intimation of her intention of doing so , leaving her two servants behind ; some months prior to this . Miss Goodman advanced her money upon two billsone of them for £ 300 , and the other for £ 100 ,

      purporting to be drawn by the prisoner upon and accepted by the Rev . Charles Randolph , Kempton Rectory , Andover . The first bill upon its being presented when due was not paid , and as doubts existed as to its genuineness , the rev . gentleman was written to respecting both the acceptances , when he declared , in answer to the communication , that they wero not his . It also appeared that Miss Sutton , of Piccadilly , had been applied to by the prisoner , to obtain a house of business for her , and that she ( Miss S . ) had agreed with a party for the purchase of a concern for £ 350 for her . A bill ( one of those above alluded to ) was given , and Miss Sutton had been compelled to pay the amount off by weekly instalments . The prisoner was ultimately

      taken into custody at a house in the Borough , and on her being taken to the Marylebone-Iane stationhouse she gavo Inspector Jackson of the D division to understand that she and the Rev . Mr . Randolph were cousins , and that upon the death of her father he ( Mr . Randolph ) furnished her with money to pay her parents debts . There was also an understanding come'to , that if ever she wanted money she was to make use of his ( the rev . gentleman ' s ) name , and she had done so upon several occasions , believing that she was not doing wrong . —The Rev . Mr . Randolph was examined , and deposed that the acceptances were forged , and that he had not given the prisoner any permission to put his name upon bills . —The prisoner was committed for trial .

      WESTMINSTER . —Begging-letter Impostor . — A Frerichman , between thirty and forty years of age , who gavo his name Ponos Trydon , but who has a number of aliases , and Is stated to be a well-known begging-letter impostor , was charged with imposing upon the Duke and Duchess of Montrose . About a month ago the prisoner obtained some money from the Duke of Montrose , by representing himself to be a foreigner in distress . Inquiries , however , were instituted respecting him by order of his Grace , and it was ascertained that his character and conduct were such as to disentitle him to sympathy or

      relief . In a few days after ho had made a similar application , assuming a different character , and he was given into custody when he called for an answer to his letters . —Horsford , the officer of the Mendicity Society , requested a remand , as from information he had received he had reason to believe the accused had "boon operating on an extensive scale upon the benevolent . —Mr . Broderip having askcd the accused whether ho wished to sny anything ?—Defendant replied , in very good English , " 1 am guilty . "—Mr . Broderip said he should remand him for a week , in order to give an opportunity of exhibiting other charges .

Shepherd , the lessee , considered it his duty to the public to give the prisoner into custody . —In defence , the

      prisoner said he was extremely sorry for what he had done . It was a mere "lark , " having made a bet with orie of his friends that he dared not hand him a light . He had no intention of doing any injury , and was willing to pay for any damage he had committed . —Mr . A'Beckett told him that a gentleman in his station of life ought to have known better than to act in such a disgraceful manner , in a public theatre . He should fine him 40 s ., arid order him to find two sureties for his future conduct . —The magistrate ' s orders having been complied with , he was discharged .

John Singleton , described on the police sheet as gentlemen , were charge ! with being drunk and riotous , and assaulting police-constable 136 C—The constable stated that on Tuesday morning , about three o ' clock , he was on duty in Leicester-square , when his attention was called to a disturbance in Bearstreet . On going to the spot he saw the defendants fighting , surrounded by a crowd of prostitutes . Witness requested them to disperse quietly , whereupon the prisoner . Singleton said that ho would fight as long as he liked . As they still persisted in creating a disturbance , witness used some force in jetting them away . The prisoner Singleton

      resisted violently , and struck witness several times with his stick . Macdonald also struck him with his fists . Witness , with the aid of another constable , succeeded in securing the defendants , and conveyed them to the station . —The defendants , who gave a general denial to the charge , were fined 40 s . each . Mock Agency Offices . —Edward Wright , sen ., who has for years kept mock agency offices in different parts of town , and who is considered to be the originator of such establishments , was placed at the bar , before Mr . Jardine , charged with obtaining the sum of £ 10 from William Davis , a civil engineer in search of employment , by . false representations . —The prosecutor stated that , in the latter end of last November ; an advertisement

      appeared in a morning paper -for a clerk and messenger , respecting whioh inquiries were to be made at 457 , New Oxford-street , where he called ; and having seen the prisoner , who told him that the amount he would require as a deposit was £ 20 , as a sort of security for the large sums of money daily passing through the hands of any one appointed to fill the situation , ho said he should take time to consider . The prisoner told him that he would give him until the afternoon , when he should provide himself with another ; and , on his making a demand of a sovereign , in part payment , be gave it to him . The prisoner finally agreed to take £ 5 , with the understanding that witness should com * mence on the following Monday morning , " and on

      his arriving at the office in New Oxfm-d-street , the prisoner pointed out to him an advertisement in a weekly newspaper respecting a house to let , requesting him . to make inquiries , telling him that his salary was to be twenty-five shillings a . week , with a commission on every house he could let , and also upon every ton of coals he could sell . The next day a similar order was given to him to execute . Circumstances having come to his knowledge from different quarters , he took the liberty of opening one of the numerous letters handed to him by the prisoner for delivery , which removed all doubts of his being greatly imposed upon ; and upon his threatening to expose to every applicant the infamous transactions , the prisoner said , " If you do you will ruin me , as I must rob others to pay

      you . " But witness said he would persevere , and in the Sresence ofthe prisoner cautioned upwards of one undred persons not to pay him any money , as he , had not the means of providing them with employment . The prisoner said he would rather conduct business in that place than at his other office , that he might more easily " chisel . '' Sparkes , Campbell , James , and Stanley , were his partners , and his son was connected with Nixon in an office ofthe same kind at Hull . The only wages he had ever received was 10 s .-, and on another occasion 2 s . 6 d ., when the prisoner , requested he would absent himself from the office , to give him an opportunity of obtaining money from another person . —The prisoner denied having any connexion with the four

      persons committed for trial on similar charges , and that he never violated his contract with the Prosecutor , as he not only gave him employment , ut had made arrangements for him to be employed at Cheltenham by his brother . —Sergeant Thompson said that the prisoner had already been convicted , ard that there was a still more heinous case against him , which could be proved by a Eerson in attendance , who bad been spoken to y the prosecutor . —A young man named Curson paid him a deposit of £ 15 for a situation he never obtained , £ 3 ofwhiph he took from a sum belonging to a relative , who lodged it . in his hands to pay his rent , the prisoner promising to > make it up

      before the day came round , which , as might be expected , he never did . The consequence of which was , that tbe poor young man was prosecuted , and being convicted at the Central Criminal Court was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonraent . but hating laid a statement of the case before Sir George Grey , an order was immediately issued for his discharge . The young man had suffered seriously in his health from the treatment he bad received . — Mr . Jardine said he would commit the prisoner upon the charge that had been so clearly made out , but he thought it necessary to have him brought up again , to ascertain if he was implicated with the others at present in Newgtae for such offences .

      MANSION-HOUSE . — Charge of Dilapidation . —A man named Richardson was brought before Alderman Gibbs , charged with having sold the fixtures of a house which he had rented of Asher Barnet . —The complainant had , as it appeared in evidenco , let a bakehouse and premises in which ho had carried on business , to the prisoner , who was formerly in his employment . Tiiere were at the time the prisoner took possession several fixtures on tho property . For some weeks the prisoner paid the rent , but on the 10 th of May some of the fixtures disappeared from the house , and the prisoner himself was absent without notice . It was soon ascertained that the fixtures had been sold to one of those eccentric tradesmen

      wh . o are called " general dealers , " who sold them to another general dealer at a small profit , the rapidity of exchange being considered to be sufficient ground for an abatement of price . The sale ofthe goods by the prisoner left no imputation upon the character of the party by whom they were purchased , the prisoner being known to him , and having applied to him to become a purchaser upon the pretext that the City of London as well aa his company were persecuting him to take up his freedom and perform other acts which were supposed to be necessary operations to a City tradesman . The complainant , upon finding that

      the tenant had vanished , and that the premises wore stripped , applied to the police , and the prisoner was apprehended . —The prisoner said he had upon taking the premises agreed to purchase all the fixtures for the sum of £ 100 , to be paid to the complainant at tho rate of 15 s . per week , and that he had actually paid off some of the debt , together with his rent , and he called a man to prove tho fact of the existence of a contract to that effect . The . witness , however , failed to prove anything but . that the prisoner himself had described such an agreement to have taken place . —The prisoner was committed . fortnal .

      A Juvenile Delinquent . —Thomas Sheppard , a diminutive boy , apparently about nine years old , wa charged with having attempted to steal a piece of goods which was tied at a shop door . " The prisoner had boon on Friday charged with having committed a robbery in conjunction with two well known little thieves , and discharged , while his associates were being whipped in his hearing . The shopman of tho premises last plundered said ho had observed the prisoner about the door with two other boys some time before , and afterwards tho prisoner

      untied the parcel , and was caught in the fact . —The wretched boy said " How could I get the property when I had no knife to cut the string ? I aint answerable for what other people do . —Some of the policemen prosentsatd they had long known the boy to bo a thief . —The Prisoner : " I have got no father or mother . "—Alderman Gibbs : Let him be remanded for a few days , in order that inquiries may be made about him . —It was said that the unfortunate child had been frequently seen with a boy who is called Jack Sheppard , from his audacity in committine depredations .

      GUILDHALL . —Desperate Conflict with tub Police . —James Hart , a ferocious looking man , about 33 years of age , was placed at the bar , charged with violently assaulting police-constables Montague , 97 , and Narborough , SCO , in thc cxecuof their duty , under the following circumstances : — It appeared that about a quarter to three o ' clock on Tuesday afternoon Sergeant Montague was called iu by tho prisoner ' s sister to quell a disturbance in Greon Dragons-court , Doctors ' -commons . As ' soon as the officer got inside the door-way prisoner struck him a blow with his clenched fist in the face , and

      followed it up by several others . Thoy closed and had a desperate struggle for some time , during which they both fell , when tho prisoner contrived to fasten his teeth in the fleshy part of tho insido of the officer ' s right thigh , and kept his hold with bulldog ferocity until he had separated that portion between his teeth from the rest . Narborough , 369 , came in to Montague ' s assistance , and after great difficulty succeeded in removing the prisoner , who immediately turned round upon the now corner and commenced a violent assault on hivn . Prisoner than , assumed a quiet dem-eanonr , as , if he intended
