In the course of the «< cvW . venin- ' 200 people came and had whiskey , brandy , van . and rum cordial- ( U > ar . ) An order came to let the them have drisk . " He would now refer to the cvi-. dei demo of several respectable inhabitants of these

      bu burghs . The respectable portion of tbe inhabitants of of such borghs would be greatly to blame if th-.-y dii did not denounce the scenes of dissipation tbatthe > sa saw arouad them . Even seven righteous men might St sate suck a burgh front becoming a political Germ morrali . Dr . Hamilton , of Falkirk , returning home tl the niffht before the election , states , — " I observed t \ two vonths lying in tbe middle of tlie road , and f « found them both in a beastly state of intoxication . G On . i . i dre .=- -instbem . one escJauned'Oh . there s 0 open house to-night at Waugn a . Tie Rev AleXa andcrAfP . irl . ine , minister of the united Presbyier rian Charch , states— " I was coming home the x nisht before the election from the Carron Works . 1 I met a « reat m'my people , and saw so much

      dei moralisaiion as to make me believe that it would I neutralise all the » ood that might have been « otiieraise effected by ministers of the Gospel . " ( ( Hear . ) He ( Mr . Cobden might be told that these i men so brutalized were not electors . If anything 4 could make the demoralisation more demoniacal it i was the very practices that bad prevailed at the ' . Falkirk election . There were some spirit-dealers ¦ whose votes it was thought desirable to have . If ¦ the candidate had invited the voters into a room , ; and given each £ 5 , it would have been virtue itself < compared with what had been done , for publicans had been ordered to admit men , women and children , and to give them as much drink as they pleased . The evil one himself could not have

      devised anything so black and detestable . The hon . member then referred to Linlithgow and Linark , where he saw the same system of biiiery existed . Now , was he to be met upon this occasion with the pica tbat there was some technical form of the House which prevented their dealing with this case ? He asked them to deal with him as they had dene with tbe honourable member for Sheffield EOme time since , and to treat this as a case without precedent ; for he believed tbat there could be no -precedent for such abominable transactions . They were chat ac tensed by an iniquity which could not be equalled . In consequence of a word which he had incidentally dropped in that house he had been

      overwhelmed with appeals upon thu subjectamong others from Temperance Societies , from the provosts , and with three petitions for the disfranchisement of the burghs . Sow , he wished to ask were elections for the boroughs of this country to be carried by such processes as this ? If so , let them mark what the consequence must be . Who were to sit in tbat House if the path were to be through some hundred gin-shops and publichouses , with bills of some £ 40 , £ 50 , £ 100 , or £ 200 at each ? The expenses of this election to the sittins member bad been variously estimated at from £ 5 , 000 to £ 15 , 000 . Who were to occupy the seats of that house ? Would it be the territorial

      aristocracy , who lived upon tbeir rents , and generally bad not a very large surplus in hand ? Xo , it would be your moneyed men , who had hard cash at their banker ' s , £ 10 , 000 or £ 15 , 000 in ready money , who could alone find an entrance into that house . ( Hear . ) He asked honourable gentlemen opposite If that would be likely to improve the character of the representation , or if we bad not better have remained under the old regime when gentlemen were returned from the influence of family claims or the prestige of rank f ( Hear . ) For himself , he wonld rather live nnder any oligarchy , and

      despotism , than be ruled by men who entered that house by such means . ( Hear . ) To what tribunal then must they resort to put down these practices ? The house claimed for itself exclusive jurisdiction in matters of P . irliamentcry election ; then he asked the House to include this case hi tbe commission that was to be appointed to inquire into the misdeeds of the borough of St . Albans . He begged to move , as an amendment , after the words "St . Albans , " to add tbe words , " and of bribery , treating , and corruption in the Falkirk districts of burghs . " ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Baird satd be did not wish to stifle inquiry . ( Hear , bear . ) All he could say was , that he gave no sanction to the opening o f public-houses , and he helicjed that none of bis agents had done so either . If the bouse wished for inquiry he had no objection . With regard to the scenes of drunkenness , no doubt eome of those took place , but that was a common practice in those burghs . ( A laugh . ) It was not to be wondered that there was a great deal of drunkenness at the election , because the population there earned wages tothe extent of £ 10 , 000 a-week , and the principals of the great works in the neighbourhood were all engaged in the election . He did not think that a very regular course of proceeding had been taken in this case . ( Hear , hear . ) The local agent of the petitioner had gone through the whole ofthe town ; but , after a precognition of two or three weeks , finding that he was unable to establish a single allegation , the petition had been withdrawn : ( Hear , hear . )

      The ATTon . vKr-GE . VEmi . recommended Mr . Cobden not to mis up two cases which were essentially distinct . One of these cases rested upon tbe report of a committee presided upon evidence taken npon oath , and the bill if it passed this house would be sure of success elsewhere ; bat it might be endangered by that case being coupled with the other , which stood upon a different footing . Mr . Roebuck supported the amendment , and considered that , after the allegations put forward by Mr . Cobden , Mr . Baird would be branded if he bad not an opportunity of exculpating himself , and he could only have that opportunity by means of such an inquiry . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . E . Eluck objected to the Falkirk case being engrafted upon the other , which would place tbe bill in jeopardy .

      Mr . Baxk . es said , without reference to difficulties elsewhere , the amendment was utterly inadmissible . He did not object to the introduction of the bill , though be hoped the house would keep the inquiry in its own hands . Mr . Hume recommended Mr . Cobden to withdraw the amendment . Lord J . Rcs ^ ku , could not say that there ought sot to be some inquiry into the transactions stated by Mr . Cobden ; but he could not agree that the two cases should be tried by the same commission . ; After some remarks by Mr . Frbshtield , Mr . LocRHART . and Mr . H . Bkrkelet , Mr . Cobdes withdrew bis amendment , suggesting tbat the duty of instituting an inquiry lay with the govenvmwnt . The motion was then agreed to , and leave given to brim ? in tbe bill .

      The house then adjourned at twenty minutes to two . TVEDXESDAY , Mat 7 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Railway Avoir Bill . —On the motion for going into committee on this

      hill , , Mr . LAuoncHERE said , that though bethought tbe bill would not be productive of much good , yet he would not oppose its going into committee that its detiils might be considered . He did not approve ofthe principle of the bill , because he thought that a railway audit , to be useful , should be continuous , and should also be wholly independent of the railways . He refrained from bringing in any bill to carry out his own views , for be felt that the railway interest in that house was too powerful for him to contend with : while , on the other hand , tbe public was so apathetic upon the subject that he could not look for support in public opinion to bear up against such powerful influence . Mr . B . Demsos thought the question was one which should , above all others , be taken up by the right bon . gentleman . After a very desultorv discussion .

      air . Locke said the bill was prepared hy forty gentlemen , deputies from tbe shareholders of the Tarions . railway companies , and was therefore entitled to great consideration . Mr . Chapux moved , as an amendment , that the bill be committed that day six months . After some further discussion , The house divided , and the amendment of Mr . Chaplin was negatived by a majority of seventy-two to forty-nine . " The house then went into committee on the bill , and the remainder ofthe day was occupied in the discussion of iu clauses .

      ner as be was interior with regard to wheat . Competition was therefore not to be dreaded on this point ; and the agriculturist , if thus helped , would b « . cnab'ed to endure Uie struggle entailed upon him by our free trade policy . The hon . member then moved the preliminary resold ion , necessary for the introduction of a hill creating tbe gradual and prospective repeal of the malt tax . Mr . Alcock supported the motion . ' - , A lone discussion took p lace in which several mamberajoinel . . „ . « ,.,, defended the

      The CiMxciiixoR of the Exchequer tax , contending that few branches of revenue were collected more cheaply and conveniently , or exercised a pressure so light in comparison with the amount derived from it . The stationary character o < " t ' ift consumption of malt was attributable to the ch inee'l habits of the people , as testifi-. nl by the vastly increased quantities of tea and coffee that wre consuiced notwithstanding the heavy custom duties still imnosed upon those ariisles . It was gratifying to record this change , and desirable to foster it . After commenting upon the random assertions and loose computations by which the motion had i > e « -n supported the ri <» ht hon . baronet referred to former occasions when thet-vx had been

      modified , to show that the benefit to he realised b y the consumer from the sacrifice of the duty would he exceedingly small . He denied that the tax prevented the poor man from brewing at home , and declare * th . it its abolition would largely increase the practice of illicit distillation . Turning to the financial side of the question , he demanded how it was possible to replace nearly five millions of revenue by imposts less oppressive than tbe malt duty . The Protectionists had pronounced in favour ofthe abolition of tbe income tax , and he called upon them , in consistency with tbat principle , to resist the attempt to strike off another chief source of national income .

      Mr . Disraeli pleaded tbe extreme distress of the firmeis , whose loss from free trade had been admitted by the Free Traders to be thirty millions , and was now probably not less than seventy millions . As the withdrawal of protection left tbem no chance of profit on the wheat crop , they were thrown hack upon barley , and it was not just to exact from this article an amountequa ! to one-tenth the whole mass of taxation . Prosperity could never besecured to the country , until tbe owners and occupiers of land were placed on a level with the

      rest of the community . He asked not tbat the commercial policy lately adopted should be reversed , but that it should he made consistent , and the agriculturists relieved from their unfair hurtSenses they had been compelled to resign the advantages they once possessed . Otherwise he saw nothing but gradual and inevitable ruin ; and as a protest against the unjust and injurious course which the ministry seemed determined to pursue , he intended to give his vote in support ofthe motion before the house . After some remarks the house

      divided—For the motion 122 Against ... 258—136 The remaining business on the paper was disposed of , and the bouse adjourned at a quarter to two o ' clock . FRIDAY , Mat 9 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Lord Littleton rose to present two petitions from Van Diemen's Land , praying for the cessation of transportation to the colony , and after detailing the grievances which the colonists suffered under the present system , called the attention of the government to the necessity of supplying its place by some better arrangement . .. . The Archbishop of Dontra bore testimony to the excellent working ofthe penitentiary system .

      _ Earl Gret . defended the experiment now being carried out as reearded convicted criminals , contending that our Australian colonies , and especially Van Diemen ' s Land , which owed its creation to the penal system , had no right , after deriving great benefits from convict labour , to turn round when it suited their convenience and throw all the burden of supporting convicts on the mother country . After considerable discussion , in which the Bishop of Oxvonn , Lord Monteaole , the Duke of Argyll , and Lord Wodehoose took part , the subject dropped , and their lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Refugees is Turkey . —In reply to a question put by Mr .

      Enqu-HART , Lord Palmebston stated that , according to the last advices , some of tbe Russian troops had begun their march from the Danubian Principalities , and that within a fortnight the whole would have reached the frontiers of Wallacbia , the Turkish troops evacuating the principalities simultaneously with those of Russia . With respect to the maintaining Hungarian Refugees , he said the endewours of the English and French governments to obtain their liberation had not been successful , the Turkish government not having , at the date of tbe latest accounts , determined npon their release . Occcpatiok of Rome bv the Fbekch Troops . — To another question , by Mr . T . Doxcombb .

      The noble Lord replied that tbe Occupation Of Rome by the French troops bad been undertaken by the government of France uiTon its own discretion and judgment ; the British government was no party to the measure , but though it could not be said to concur in the occupation of the city , and had an opinion upon the subject , it had no particular right to interfere , though be could not say that the result of the occupation bad been the establish * ment of good government . With respect to the prolongation of the occupation , friendly

      communications had taken place between her Majesty ' s government and that of France , but the latter having once occupied Rome , tbe withdrawal of its Harmon might lead to the re-occupation ofthe city by some other power , wbioh might prove leas advantageous to the people aud to the interests of Europe . The French government , which never entertained any project of territorial acquisition , must judge for itself , with due regard to all the interests concerned , as to the period when the occupation should be terminated .

      Papal Augkessios . —On the motion of going into committee on this bill , Mr . UnooHAEr moved a resolution declaring that tbe aggressive act of the Pope had been encouraged bv the conduct of the Ministry , and that Lord J . Russell's published letter to the Bishop of Durham had stimulated an expectation of legislative remedy which the bill he afterwards introduced had disappointed . The motion , he remarked , was not designed as a vote of want of confidence , but as a censure npon the government , and the result he aimed at was to get rid of the bill new before them , which was at once null and persecuting . The motion was seconded by Mr . Sadleir . After considerable discussion , the bouse divided : For going into committee ... 280 For the amendment ... ... 201—79 Anotber warm discussion took place respecting the nomination of the Committee on the Kaffir

      tribes ; in the end , tbe question was deferred until Monday . The house adjourned at a quarter to two o ' clock until Monday .

      * MURDER AT SHEFFIELD , On Sunday morning , about two o ' clock , the wife of John Wilkinson , who lived near Duke-street , Sheffield Park , obtained admis-ion to the h < mse of a neighbour , alleging as her reason for leaving her own home , a family quarrel . In the course of the day she sent the wi . man in whose house she had taken refuge with a message to her husband'shbuse , when his body was discovered in one of the rooms lying in a pool <> f blood . The furniture , w . i \ ls , and ceilings were a ' so be-prinkled with it . Wounds were found on the head and throat , and a pocket knife was discovered under a cbair at the feet ofthe deceased . Information was immtdi tely eiven to the police , who at once arrested the woman Wilkinson , and subsequently during the

      evening a man named Battersby , a cousin ofthe deceased , and who had lodged with him up to Saturday ni ^ ht . A jealous feeling seems to have existed on the part of the deceased . Battersby was reported to have left the house on the nigbt in question . On Sunday afternoon he reached his parents' dwelling , near Worksop . Hearing that policemen had been there in search of him , he , by the first train on Monday morning , returned , and to the scene of the murder , where he was for'hwith arrested . That the murder » vas one attended with much violence appears from the statements <> f a neighbour , who alleges to having heard great noise in the house soon after midnight . The prisoners Eliza Wilkinson ( aged twentysix ) , and William Battersby ( aged twenty-two ) , on

      Monday afternoon - * ere brought up at the 1 own-hall , before the Mayor . —Mr . Raynor , the chief constable , stated that the prisoners werecharged with being concerned in the death of the husband of Wilkinson . A post mortem examination was being made of the body , and there was not the slightest doubt that death bad bpen occasioned by a dreadful blow on the top of the head , which could not have been done by the unfortunate man himself . A wound also appeared on the neck , ofthe deceased , but was of too slight a character to have caused death . There appeared some probabili'y of its having been inflicted to give the impression that the deceased had died by his own hand . This suspicion was strengthened by the fact , that the case was reported to the police as an ordinary suicide .

      THE IKQUEST . The inquest on the body was held on Tuesday afternoon in the Town Hall , when the following evidence was taken : — Elizabeth , wife of Samuei Jonssos , collier . —I reside next door but one to the deceased . About a quarter past seven o ' clock on Sunday morning Mrs . Wilkinson ( his wife ) came to my house .- Mrs . Wilkinson told me that she and her husband bad been having some words , that she was afraid of her life , and had jumped out of her chamber window . She said her husband had to go to feed his horses , but the chamber windo w and house shutters were as she bad left tbem , and she wondered whether he was eone or not . I said to her , " Must I go and

      see if the key is in the door ? " She said " Yes . " went and looked , and saw the key inside the door , which was fast . I said , " Must I ask him for your boots ? " She said" Yes . " I went and shook the door three or four times , and called very loud for Anne ( the deceased ' s daughter , ) who was in bed in tbe garret . She got up and came down stairs , and opened the house door . Mrs . Wilkinson came to her house door while I was waiting , and ias soon as her daughter opened the door she made a grasp at her daughter ' s arm , then went into the kitchen , and looked into the inner room . Mrs . Wilkinson went into the room , and then held up her arms and said , " Ob , dear , come and look , mistress-come and look ! " I went to the inner door and looked

      into the room , and saw the man lying on the floor on his face with blood under him , and ran out and made an alarm . My husband returned with me to Wilkinson ' s house , and we there found Thomas Johnson and Mr . Wilson , the owner of the property . Mrs . Wilkinson had then gone back into my house . My husband saw a white-hafted spring knife lying under a cbair . I observed that the door and a table standing in tbe kitchen were sprinkled with blood . A piece of beef and a pound of butter , and a basin of milk , which were on the table , had also spots of blood on them . There were also spots of blood on the ceiling of both kitchen and room . Mrs . Wilkinson , after she got to my house , said she wished she had remained in the house with her

      husband , and stood her ground , and let him kill her too . I asked what time it was when she jumped through the window , and she said about twelve o ' clock . I said it was very strange , for I was up and down the yard myself three or four times about twelve , and my husband too , and asked her where she had been all the night . She said she came to tbe door and tried it , and picked up some pebbles in the yard and threw at the window , but could not wake us ; tbat she was afraid to make a noise , as her husband would have heard her , and she was afraid would have followed her ; that she went and sat in the " petties" in the yard till about two o ' clock , when she called Mrs . Lund up ; that Mrs . Lund let her in , and she remained there till

      she saw our door open . I told her there was a wound on her husband ' s head , and she replied that he must have done it with falling down . I told her that tbe men were taking Battersby ' s clothes , and she said , "is there some blood or anything on them , for he cut his finger on Thursday , and perhaps it might have bled on them . " I told her I did not know . She said she hoped there would be no blood found on bis clothes . I did not go to bed till ten or twenty minutes past twelve o ' clock , and fell asleep soon after . I did not bear anything thrown at our window . If she had thrown any stones at the window I should have been sure to have heard them . Mrs . Wilkinson and her busban I quarrelled occasionally . The knife produced

      by Mr . Raynor is the one which was under the chair . It was quite clean at the time . The policeman handled the knife when his bands were covered with blood in raising the body , and some blood then got upon it . Thomas Johnson , cowkeeper . —I reside next door to tbe deceased in Wilson ' s-yard , Duke-street . On Saturday night about five minutes past twelve o ' clock I was retiring to bed , and heard an unusual noise like tbe " rumbling" of chairs and tables , or something of that sort . The noise continued two or three minutes , and then subsided . A little before eight o ' clock I went into Mr . Wilkinson ' s house , and found him lying on his face on the house-floor , with a deal of blood about him . I observed a white-hifted knife lying open in one corner

      of the room . The knife now produced is the same . There was no blood upon it then . Asse WiiHiflSos , an intelligent child , eleven years of age . —John Wilkinson , . the deceased , was my father . My father and mother have sometimes bad words . A week or two ago they had words about a coat . My mother wanted him to wear it longer before he had a new one , and he said he would not . They have not quarrelled about anything else . — " Have' you not said they have had words about your mother going Out with William Battersby ? " Yes . My mother wanted to go with William Battersby into the town . My father told her she was not to go with him , but she said she would . Father said she was too friendly with

      William ( Battersb y ) . Battersby and father had words a month or two since , but no blows . My father and mother returned home from the market on Saturday night , between ten and eleven o ' clock . Battersby had come in before them . Father , mother . Battersby , and I all got supper together . No words passed at supper . 1 went to bed a little after eleven , leaving father , mother , and Battersby up . Battersby had fustian trousers and waistcoat with sleeves on when he came in on Saturday night . He was a porter at the Manchester Railway Station . I sleep in the garret . ( The knife found on the house fl ior was shown the witness , and she identified it as one which she had seen Battersby have . ) Marv Lord , wife of Edward Lund , residing in the same yard as the deceased , deposed , —About two o clock on Sunday morning I was awoke by Mrs . Wilkinson

      throwing something at our chamberwindow . I went to the window and asked what she wanted . She asked if I would let her come into my house . I went down st urs and let her in . She told me tbat her husband and she had been quarrelling about buying a new coat , and he was in such a passion that he drew a razor to cut her throat , and therefore she jumped out of the chamber-window to get out of his way . 1 then left her on the hearth and went to bed . I wanted to light a candle , but she told me not . She seemed very much fluttered , and trembled . She said she was shaking with cold , having been in tbe petty most tn hour before sheoalled me up . She unlocked the door , and went out of my house about seven o ' clock before we <* ere up .-I never saw the deceased in a passion . He appeared a quiet and good-tempered man . His wife is r . itber passionate .

      James Roosrs , a policeman , deposed to the position of the body . ¦ " Mr . J . Farewell Wright , surgeon . —On Monday , the 5 th inst ., Imaueapostmor iemexamination .. fthe body of John Wilkinson , in the presence of Mr . Carr and other surgeons . The deceased ' s coat was bloody on the collar and sleeves , as were his coat and shirt . The ri ght hand was bloody in the palm ; there was a wound on the upper surface of the thumb near the first joint , and another on the inside of the fourth finger , near the second joint , and a slight contusion on the right arm a little above the wrist . The left hand was bloody . Across the throat there was a wound about two inches in

      length , dividing the integuments , and partially dividing the windpi pe . There was a slight bruise on the left side of tbe chin , and another on tbe left temple above the eyebrow , a wound dividing the scalp above the forehead , about two inches in length ; several extensive wounds on the back part of the head , two or three of them of irregular form these wounds vary from one to three inches in length , and completely divide the skull . From the result of my examination , I attribute the death of the deceased to injuries of the brain produced by fractures of the skull . In my opinion , the fractures ofthe skull and injuries to the brain , from their position and extent , could not have been caused by the deceased himself , but were produced by some

      some distance towards the west-end of the ouuo ine when the defendant ran away through d ™ ot aef ions " o No . 22 , the section where his master was W tness got up to him , and again desired S ' to go out , and on putting his hand gently on Is shoulder to eject him from the building , the defendant ^ ucAim on the head and knocked his hat off Witness then took him into custody for the assault . —In reply to the charge , the defendant said he had a ticket when he entered the building in the morning , but he left it with his master . He had not tho least idea he was doing wrong in going

      into another section than the . one he was em ployee in ; and if he did strike the constable it was not done intentionally—Mr . Bingham said defendant ought to have paid obedience to the . constables orders , especially at such a time and in such a cause as tbe Great Exhibition ; and , as a warning t » others , bo should fine him 20 s . for the assault . The money was immediately paid . Robbery at the Crystal Palace . —T . Seanlan was charged with stealing from the Crystal Palace a quantity of scaffolding-rope , the property of Messrs . Fox and Henderson , the contractors . — Best said that on Tuesday morning he was on duty at the south entrance of the Exhibition when he saw the prisoner , who was carrying a large bae of bulky appearance , in the middle of the road .

      Witness asked what was in the bag . The prisoner said " On , nothing particular , only some rubbish I have picked up . " Witness then opened the bag , and found it to contain a considerable ^ quanti ty of scaffolding-rope , and as the prisoner ' could not give a satisfactory account as to the manner in which he came by it he took him to the station . —Thomas Handford , gatekeeper , in tbe employ of Messrs . Fox and Henderson , at the Exhibition , identified the rope as the property of his employers . —The prisoner said he picked up the rope in the park , and thinking it of no . use to anyone he put it in his bag . —Mr . Bingham , who thought the prisoner might acted under that impression , dealt with the case in a summary manner by committing him for ten days for unlawful possession .

      THAMES . —Brutal CosntjCT in a . Railway Carriage . —Two respectably-dressed men , about twenty-four years of age , named Upton Cooke and John Taylor ( the former a watchmaker , residing at 10 , Lower-road , Islington , and the latter a watchmaker , of 3 , Sandwich-place , St , Pancras , ) were charged with being drunk and assaulting two respectable married women , named Charity Dunn and Sarah Davis . It appeared that about twenty minutes to ten o ' clock on the previous night the complainants got into a train at Blackwall to return to their residence , at Butcher ' s-row , Shadwell . The prisoner and another man were the only persons with them in the carriage . As soon as the train started , Cooke pulled Mrs . Dunn off her sear ,

      and , clasping her round the waist , attempted to kiss her , which she resisted , and Taylor attempted to take similar liberties with Mrs . Davis . When they found themselves repulsed they called the complainants prostitutes , adding , "thatwhen prostitutes travelled by railways they must put up with the consequences , " . They threatened to cry out " murder , " upon which the prisoners said they'd thrust them out of the window , and Cooke , catching Mrs . Dunn by the neck and thigh , was absolutely proceeding to do so . Mrs . Davis , remonstrated , telling him that he might injure her friend for life , to which he answered carelessly , " Oh , it ' s nothing ; you won't be tnefirnt women that have been thrown out of a railway carriage . " After that they

      proceeded to further and grosser indecencies , disarranging the dresses of the complainants and breaking the combs in their heads . Complaint was made whin the carriage stopped at the Stepney station , and Preston , an officer , being telegraphed , was quickly on the spot , when the prisoners were given into his custody . Even then they continued their gross discourse , and called the complainants by the most opprobrious names . —Cooke , in his defence , said the statement of the prosecutrix was a tissue of falsehoods from top to bottom ; and if tbe sergeant who took the charge were present , he would prove that they said at the station-house no one had touched them . — Mrs . Dunn ; I don ' t know what I said at the station . I was so agitated at the time that I do not remember anything . —Cooke : It ' s all a hatched-up

      affair . I was for the most part asleep during the time . —Taylor : I deny it in toto . The women were larking , and making so much noise that our friend , who is not here now , told them not to make such a noise . I told them they were a nuisance , and ought to be put out ; and that is what they have construed into a threat to throw tbem out of the window . If you allow time I'll get my friend here who was with us at the ^ time . —Preston , the constable , said that on taking the charge he understood that the friend was as bad as the others . When the women came out of the carriage they were crying , and appeared to be much exhausted . — Taylor : Idid not think the charge would have assumed so serious a character , or I should have evidence to rebut it . —The case was remanded for the production of evidence for the defence .

      CLERKENWELL . —The Charge against the Master of St . Pancras Workhouse . —G . Henry Eaton was again brought up charged with having committed an indecent assault upon Eliza Smith , aged sixteen , an inmate pauper of that establishment . —Mr . Elliott , relieving officer of the parish of St . John , Hampstead , was called to give evidence for the defence . —Mr . Ballantine questioned him , but he fenced and hesitated so much that Mr , Combe cautioned him that if he continued such a course he would not believe him . —The witness admitted that he obtained a situation as master cook in St . Pancras workhouse throug h the influence and recommendation of Mr . Eaton ; and that he had also recommended him to his present officeat

      , St . John ' s , Hampstead . He gave evidence as to a point of time , with a view to prove that the accused could not have committed the offence imputed to him , as described by the girl . —Mr .. Aldridge , master of the Hampstead workhouse , gave similar evidence . —Several females , inmate paupers of St . Pancras parish , were called to prove . that the prosecutrix had told them that an old man with spectacles had taken liberties with her , and to state other facts with a view to impugn her testimony and credit . The investi gation lasted from two until after six o ' clock in the evening , . when Mr Combe inquired of Mr . Ballantine , whether after having heard the defence , he would press for Mr

      Eaton ' s Committal for trial , as he had expressed his intention to that effect ?—Mr . Ballantine Said he felt it to be his duty to do so in justice to his client and tho public . The girl ' s statement had certainly not been confirmed , but she adhered to her first statement , and her character never had the least imputation cast upon it during the fourteen , fifteen , or sixteen years that she had been in the workhouse , and therefore penury oupht , not l-n be attributed to her . He said on ' tlie contmv the man Elliott and the female paupers wer "Snt J influenced by Eaton ' s position as master of the workhouse . Under all the circumstances he would press upon the bench , to commit the accused to take his trial before ajury . -Mr . Combe : Then I commit him for trial . He accordingly then stood

      committee , uui eventually responsible bail was accepted for his appearance at the sessions . -Great excitement prevailed outside the court , where immense crowds ef men , women boys and girls assembled , and remained under the expectation of seeing Mr . Eaton leave and to express their feelings towards him : but he left with some friends bv a private entrance , and went off in a cab . On Wednesday a most extraordinary degree of interest and excitement was manifested at this court , which was crowded to excess by . the parish authorities of St . Pancras parish ana others n consequence of a report that the charge against John Henry Eaton , the . master of St . Pancras workhouse for au indecent assault upon Eliz a Smith , one 5 the inmate paupers under his 6 aro , would not bo prosecuted by the parish authorities . Mr Ballantine said that the case against a person n ^ i . t !„

      Henry baton bad been hwd for- an indecent aV « iu ! t upon a girl named Eliza Smith , a pauper a „ d from time to time had occupied a co ^ Xa ?] / pot . on ofthe time and attention ofthe court . Attho ¦ art examination , after listening to the evhlence he ( Mr Combe ) asked him ( Mr . Ballantine ) whethS he would press for a' committal of the accused t , take his irial . He did so , and he ( Mr o « mh !\ L mitted himfor trial . Sinc \ thtiSVcS hfe

      weighed over in his mind the statements made by the various witnesses , and had arrived at a conclusion , in which he felt ho-doubt the bench would concur with bim . Be was of opinion that if the case was sent before a jury , a conviction would not take place ; and he felt it ' to be his duty to communicate this to him ( Mr . Combe ) . ' Mr . Bidlantioe then made some remarks oh the evidence , and alluded to the weak intellect of the girl Smith , which involved the question , ^ whether she was not impregnated with a false notion . Under these circumstances he would , now ask for his discharge , and he hoped it weuld prove satisfactory to the court and the public—Mr . Combe listened attentively to tho learned gentleman ' s addiess , and said

      he had felt considerable difficulty m the case , and after the speech of Mr . Ballantine he would discharge Mr . Eaton , but , he added , " I purposely absiidn from making any further observation . ' WESTMINSTER . —Serious Charge against a Tradesman . — Three boys , named White , Michael , and Popo , varying in age from ten to fourteen years were charged with stealing a £ o note . —ihe prisoner White , the youngest of the party , on being left a destitute orphan some years ago , was , from motives of charity , adopted by Mrs . Holland , a ady residing at Chelsea , and continued under her hospitable roof until tempted to commit the present offence . Mrs . Holland on Saturday last placed a £ 5 nolo of the Gloucester Bank in a box where

      she ordinarily kept money , and in a hour or two afterwards discovered tbat it was stolen and that the boy White had absconded . A relation of Mrs . Holland ' s went in quest of White , and having found him he produced 10 s . 9 d . ; declaring that was all the money he bad left out of tbe note , which he and some companions had sold for £ 1 . The two other prisoners , who were seated to have been with him at the time , were also taken into custody , and it then transpired that White gave the note to Mitchel , who took it into a toy-shop , and having received the amount above stated handed it over to him outside the door . —In reply to the charge , White , admitted that he stole the note , arid Mitchel repeated the statement before given , that he sold it for £ 1

      to a tradesman at tbe west end of the town , who said he could not give more than £ 1 for it asit bore last year ' s date . —Mr . Symonds having intimated that the boy who- sold the note had expressed his willingness to accompany a constable and point oht . the place , which he was unable to describe , requested the magistrate ' s consent to that course . — Mr . Broderip immediately acquiesced , and shortly before the closing of the court Police-sergeant Forde returned with the boy and William Cave , a very respectable looking young man , described as the . proprietor of a toy warehouse , in Rathboneplace , whom he had taken into custody . —The Sergeaht stated that be went to the prisoner ' s ( Cave ) re-idence that afternoon , and having stated that he

      wished to speak with him particularly in private , was shown by the accused into an up-stairs private room , where , in order to disarm suspicion as to the real motive of bis visit , he had recourse to the ruse of telling Mr . Cave that there had been some forgeries upon the Gloucester Bank , and that he thought he had traced one of the spurious notes into bis possession . Accused replied that he had received one on Saturday from a boy , who was in the babit of bringing goods to the shop , and that it was now in his desk below . After making a statement corresponding with the defence given below , Mr . Cave handed the note to the constable , who told bim that he must consider himself in custody . —In reply to the charge of receiving the note , the accused said

      it was a very serious matter for him . The boy in question had been in the habit of coming to his house to bring parcels , and on Saturday he came , and pulling out a note , which he aaia he had picked up , innocently inquired if it was a good one . He ( accused ) replied he did not know whether it was good , but he would not mind giving him a sovereign for it . The boy asked if he could not give him 30 s . for it , but he replied " no , as he had never heard of the bank , and as it might have stopped payment , " and the boy agreed to take the sovereign . —Mr . Broderip remanded the accused , with the boys White and Mitchel , the boy Pope being liberated . On Wednesday the two prisoners were again brought up , when the prisoner White

      admitted his guilt , and Nichols said White had offered another boy Is . to get the note changed . —On the part of Mr . Cave it was submitted that there was nothing to show a guilty knowledge in receiving the note ; he did not know the boy had not picked it up . The boy was in the habit of coming from a wholesale manufacturer of toys , and Mr . Cave did not think for a moment he was doing any wrong in buying it .. He was a highly respectable man . He had been twelve years in his present shop , In buying a country note Cave incurred a risk tbat tbe bank might break , and gave sufficient value for it . —Mr . Broderip : It is my duty to send the case for trial . It will be for the jury to say whether the

      ¦ prisoner Cave received the note under such circumstances as would raise a fair presumption that he must have been aware it was stolen . ' A boy comes into a tradesman ' s shop , says he has picked Up a note , and instead of sending for a policeman and giving the boy into his hands , he haggles about the price , and then gives him a sovereign for a £ 5 note . —The Solicitor applied for Mr . Cave to be admitted to bail . —Mr . Broderip refused , and remarked that the moral state of the prisoner ' s mind must be an odd one if he . could not consider he was doing wrong in acting as he bad done , All the prisoners were committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court . The court was thronged with the friends of the prisoner Cave .

      GUI Ii-D HALL . —Felony . — Thomas Lucas and Frederick Melluisb of the respective ages of seventeen and nineteen years , were placed at the bar charged with felony under the following circumstances : — Alfred Green , a detective officer of the City force , said , about half-past ten on Sunday morning he received information , in consequence of which he went to the premises of Mr . Reeve , 118 , Fetter-lane , oil and colourman . Having concealed himself in the shop for tbe purpose of watching , ho presently saw Lucas make his appearance from a trap-door in the floor of the shop , and communicating with the cellar beneath . This was about a quarter-past eleven o ' clock . Lucas then went to the desk and took something out . Melluish came

      into the shop at the same moment , and Lucas handed him something ; upon which witness left his place of concealment , and pounced upon Melluish , and took him into the counting house , where he found on searching him , in bis waistcoat pocket , one five-shilling piece , five single shillings , one sixpence , four fourpenny pieces , and fivepence in copper money —all marked . Witness then took Melluish to the station , and Lucas was taken by another constable , where be was searched but nothing was found on him relating to the robbery . Witness afterwards returned to the shop , and there found that the prisoners must have effected an

      entrance into the cellar by means of a trap-door communicating with the kitchen door , and fastened it so that no one might follow them . —Edward Lacy Price , shopman to Mr . T . W . Reeve , said he marked a crown piece and three or four shillings on Saturday week last , and on Saturday he marked about 5 s 2 d ., consisting of Shillings , sixpences and fourpenny pieces . The coins produced as having been found on the prisoner , Melluish , were the same he had marked . His employer bad been robbed of money in a similar manner on four previous occasions , and Lucas , living in tbe house , was suspected and detected accordingly . —Remanded .

      MARYLEBONE -Extensive Robbery at Sir William Clayton ' s . - William Serle and Phoebe ul ¦ e » were P lace ( i at tne uar . charged with having stolen proper ty of different descriptions to a considerable amount , belonging to Sir . William Clayton , Bavt ., 19 , Gloucester-place , Portmansquare—The evidence went to show that Sir William and hu family left town in July last , and recently returned , when it was ascertained by some of the servants on the day previous to the family ' s arrival , they ( the servants ) having been directed to get everything ready and in proper order , that the prisoners , who had been left in charge of tbe residence , had quitted the same , and tbat various apartments had beeen plundered of bed and other
