      Monday, Jviie 16. House Of Lords.-Lordbr...

      hon . member had quoted Mr . Mayne in support of the . issertion thafc the present law on Sunday trading was a dead letter ; but he ought to have stated that Mr . Mayne had expressed an opinion that any other law ontbe subject would be equally inoperative—tbat a great improvement had taken place in the observance of Sunday , and that the stringent enforcement of such a bill as the present would retard that improvement . In fact , the bill would not touch tome of tbe most glaring desecrations of the Sunday , and would give a sanction to many practices which were not iu strict conformity with the law . His own opinion was that the question was one which ought to be left to the good feeling of tho people , and tbat every person in his sphere ought to set the example of refraining from purchases on that day . Ue concurred with those hon .

      members who had asked for the withdrawal of the bill ,, but he could not join in the recommenda tion , that it should be again introduced next year . ( Cheers . ) Sir B . Haix said that as one of the metropolitan members , he heartily pined in tbe request for the tritii'lrawal of the measure . He altogether objected to the desire which had been manifested of late years to legislate specially for the metropolitan districts ! on this question . Any bill on the subject should be for tbe empire at large , or for that particular district of the metropolis which desired such legislation . He would recommend the hon . member to withdraw the bill , and as he believed ifc had only oaen brought forward by the hon . member in consequence of an election promise , he would recommend him , in order to test the sincerity of the promoters of it , to subject it as a private bill to the or « e-: l of a committee . The bill would extend to

      the lowest tradesman in the Sew-out . But any measure on tbe subject of Sunday observance should apply not merely to poor tradesmen but to perams in higher ranks . A friend had mentioned to him a glaring case of what some would call Sabbath desecration . His friend , passing through one of the most fashionable squares on a Sunday , saw a brhzskaaithedoorof one of the mansions , with fine horses , a well-dressed coachman and footman , and wishing to see the lady whom he imagined was about to step into tbe carriage , he stopped , but was greatly mortified at seeing two dogs brought out— - a Kia § Charles spaniel and a Newfoundland—and "which , having taken their place in the carriage , were driven to Hyde Park for amusement . The bill * rould not touch a case of that kind , and was a mosi partial measure . "

      Mr , HisMRT . saw no chance , if the present bill was withdrawn , of carrying a similar measure at any future period , and hoped the hon . member ¦ would not withdraw it . The right hon . baronet opposite had declared that the difficulties were inherent in tbe subject itself , and if that were so tbe house ought to reject the bill . He believed tbe time was at hand when the observance of the Sunday would be made a hustings question , and when no liii-tropolifan member would dare to ask another ion . member to withdraw a measure like the present . He supported the bill on the principle of giving to tradesmen tbe liberty of tbat one day in sevi . % of which they were now deprived .

      Sir . T . Dcvcombe was not ignorant that the hon . men . l : erforAshton bad been a dabbler in Sunday legisl . -ttion . ( A laugh . ) For his own part , ever since the days of Sir Andrew Agnew , he had opposed this contemptible legislation . ( Cheers . ) The hon men . ier for Ashton bad told them tbat this would be a hustings question , and that he—he ( the member for Ashton )—( a laugh)—would undertake to say tbat no metropolitan constituency would accept a candid i te who was opposed to this bill . Now he bad opp <> s-: d bills of this sort , and had been elected after having opposed them . He denied that the working classes were in favour of the bilL They were almost io a man opposed to it . He had been waited on hy a deputation from the order of " Old

      Fneu'l ^ " a society composed of the working classes and numbering about 40 , 000 members , and he was told by the deputation that not twenty of their society were in favour of the bill . Some awkward questions had been put to the hon . member for Lambeth on this subject at a meeting which he had attended of the working classes at Cowperstrect , St . Luke ' s , and at which the hen . member told the meeting that they had thrown a new light npon the subject . His hon . colleague had backed out of the bill in consequence of the representations made to him , and both he and the hon . member were ; iUd to get out of Co « per-sireet . The select com & kiee had taken no evidence as to the bill , and

      his constituents complained tbat tbey bad had no Opportunity of offering any . A great many of the . working classes received their wages so late on Saturday night that it was impossible for them to lay in a stock of provisions till the following day . 3 f th :- question was one which ought to be entertaine ::, the government ought to take it in hand ; but iu < t only the right hon . baronet opposite , but also tbe right hon . baronet the member for Ripon , had confessed that legislation on the subject was impracticable , and that they must trust for the observfiuce of the Sunday to the good feeling of the people . And tbe example of the rich . He should vote , as be bad always done for the last twenty-six years , against such legislation as tbe present .

      Air . Alcock- would divide with tbe hon , member for Lambeth if he went to a division , but at the same t-. me would advise him to withdraw tbe bill . Mr . v . - jLiiAMs rose to make some remarks , but Has v formed he was out of order . The house then divided—For the motion 42 Against it ... 77 __ Majority against the motion ... —35 Th ' - -remainder of the day was occupied in commillet ; on the Landlord and Tenant Bill .

      THURSDAY , Jose 10 . HOUSE OP LORDS . —In the House of Lords , on Thursday night , a fen bills were advanced a stage , without exciting any discussion of interest , and their lordships adjourned at an early hour , until Monday next . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —At the noon sitting of the House of Commons , on the motion for going into committee on the Smithneld Market Removal Bill , ( the government bill , )

      Sir J . Dcke moved that the bill be committed that day six months . He objected to tbe monopoly which the bill would place in the hands of the government , who had not told the metropolitan public what they bad a right to demand , either the site of the proposed new market , or the names of the commissioners into whose discretion its selection and construction was to be committed . Since the measure left the select committee , moreover , the schedule of fees had been increased to nearly double their present amount .

      Sir . G . Gbet stated that the site for the new market was not yet fixed , neither were the commissioners nominated , even in prospectu . The practical execution of the bill would , indeed , be left almost entirely in the charge of the City of London . A prolonged and miscellaneous discussion ensued , when the house divided , and the amendment was negatived by a majority of sixty-four to . twenty-six —thirty-eight . The house then went into committee , and the several clauses of the bill were passed , several amendments upon the details haying been discussed and negatived on a division . On resuming , the house adjourned for two hours . The sitting was resumed at six . o ' clock .

      Mr . Hbtwood moved tbat the house should resolve itself into committee , to consider the religious tests imposed either by the authority of the crown or by act of parliament as qualifications for any privilege in Oxford , Cambridge , or Dublin University . . The motion was seconded by Mr . Ewabt , and opposed by Mr . Gampbsll . Lord J . RcasEti . narrated the progress that had already been made towards relaxing the tests interposed between various sects , and the privileges attached to the Universities . In Cambridge no religions qualifications were required for the enjoyment of the opportunities of education there provided , and tbe attainment of an honorary degree . Further than this , he did not think that concession could properly be made , and be therefore declined to consent to the motion for going into committee OB the subject .

      Mr . Moans Gibson contended that Dissenters -ought not to be deprived of any privilege , which the -Bombers of the Church were entitled to enjoy . Tha hon . member was proceeding when the house ¦ was counted oat , at half-past seven .

      Polytechnic Institution. On Tuesday The ...

      POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . On Tuesday the chemical professor at the abovenamed establishment , Mr . Pepper , commenced a course of lectures " On the Minerals and Crystals at the Great- Exhibition . " De commenced his lecture by describing the valuable gems , tbe diamond , the ruby , and pearl ; he stated tbat considering these represented the most beautiful creations of the mineral kingdom , it could be no more a matter of surprise when people sought after them than visiting a rare collection of animals or flowers . To illustrate hia lecture numerous diamonds , rubies , and other precious stones were exhibited , kindly and

      lent by Messrs . Hunt and Roskell , Bond-street , other jewellers ; copies of the great diamonds , by Professor Tennant , were all shown to great advantage by the oxy-hydrogen light ; he demonstrated in the most decided manner , and proved , thafc those shown in tbe Great Exhibition by day-light could not be appreciated . The lecturer then proceeded to tell his audience that the most brilliant diamond was nothing but charcoal ; the most perfect rnby was alumina , the chief characteristic of clay ; and the most lovely pearl little more than chalk and white of egg , or albumen . The lecture was highly instructive throughout , and the audience appeared greatly pleased by the learned professor ' s description of his subject .

      Cosmorama.-Pjilvce Of Wales's Bazaab, Re...

      COSMORAMA .-PJILVCE OF WALES'S BAZAAB , REGENT STREET . This elegant building is well worthy the attention of our frienda who may visit town during tbe Exhibition season . The fancy articles , for sale , are of the most varied and elaborate description ; and the Picture Gallery contains many excellent paintings by the old masters . In tbe Cosmorama are several well-known scenes , such as Mount St .. Bernard , Mount Blanc , Interior of St . Paul's Cathedral at Rome , the Pleasure Grounds at Versailles , & c , & c . These paintings are cleverly executed , and possess a life-like appearance . Tbe most interesting and novel picture , however , is the Great Fireat Edinburgh . The city is partially lighted by tbe moon , while the fire , * which rages in the centre , throws its lurid

      glare upon the surrounding objects , the most prominent of which , is the Toihoota . The dioramie effect of this scene is awfully grand . Now the destroying clement rages fiercely—the flames , sparks , and smoke rise higher and higher , and the conflagration may he presumed . tobeatits height—the church , spire , tbe walls , roofs , and chimnies are illumined , and the light of the moon is eclipsed by the fiery glow . Anon , the flames gradually decline , the reflection of the fire as gradually leaves the objects before alluded to , and the moon again resumes her placid reign . Indeed , the slightest flicker of the Same baa its proper effect of light and shadow upon the whole scene . The Bazaar and Picture Gallery are open free to the public , and the Cosmorama is well worth the price of admission .

      Queen's Theatre. A Very Interesting Melo...

      QUEEN'S THEATRE . A very interesting melodrama , called the Night Shriek ; or , a Tale of Convict Life , has been produced at this theatre for the holidays , in which Miss Cooke , a young actress of great promise , personates the heroine . She possesses a good figure , excellent voice , clear enunciation , and considerable skill , and , with care and perseverance , might become a firstrate arfi ' sfe . The principal parts were well sustained by Messrs . Green , Chester , and Burford , and tbe piece gave evident satisfaction to the audience . A new ballet , entitled the Fair Maid of Switzerland , followed , in which the charming danseiise , Miss Sate Kirby , made her appearance . She was ably supported by Mr . Bigwood and Miss C . Gibson . The performances concluded with The Dogs of die Grange , in which Mr . Smith , and his celebrated dogs , Hofer and Bruin , appeared .

      Haymarket Theatre. The New Comic Opera P...

      HAYMARKET THEATRE . The new comic opera produced on Wednesday night , called The Cadi ; or , Amours among 3 foors , \ a a version of Ambroise Thomas ' s opera Le Caid , which has had great popularity for these two seasons past at the Opera Comique . Soon after its production at Paris this opera was performed with some success by Mr . Mitchell's French company at the St . James ' Theatre . It is a piece of sheer buffoonery , without a vestige of serious interest ; but its very extravagance is amusing , and there are some capital burlesques on the bravura singing , and the conventional passion , of the Grand Opera . Both in its fun and in its burlesque it is essentially French ; neither the one nor the other can be fully enjoyed by an English audience . This was felt to a considerable extent when the piece was performed in its original dress ; and is much more so now , when it is performed in an English version , and by English actors .

      The scene js laid in an Algerine village , where a Parisian hairdresser is established in trade , and Mdlle . Yirginie , a grisette , carries on business as a miliner . A French drum-major quartered there , a dashing impudent fellow , has contrived to make lore to the Cadi ' s daughter . M . BiroHeao , tbe coiffeur , seeks to make bis fortune by selling a pretended secret to the Cadi , who proposes to pay him by giving him his daughter in marriage ; an arrangement to which tbe hairdresser , though engaged to marry Mdlle . Yirginie , makes no objection , as in that country he can make the young lady his wife number two . This transaction makes the imbroglio of the niece . The grisette is furious when she bears that ber faithless lover is going to marry

      the Cadi s daughter—that damsel is dcsolie at losing her drum-major—the drum-major determines to cut the throat of his rival the coiffeur—and the stolid Cadi is in a state of mystification . AH this gives rise to scenes ( as we hare said ) of burlesque passion , comic on the French stage , bnt spoiled on Wednesday sight because our actors , mistaking the character of the piece , thooght it necessary to be in earnest ; all but Miss Louisa Pyne , who played tbe little grisette with a gaiety and lightness entirely Parisian , and sang the florid mnsic of the part in a manner that could not have been surpassed by the rossionol

      of the Opera Comique , Madame Ugalde herself . The music is , altogether , exceedingly pretty . It is very much in the style of Auber—melodious sparkling , and full of vivacity ; simple and free from elaboration , but at the same time ingenious and masterly . Some of the concerted pieces are highly dramatic , and the instrumentation is delicate and skilful . It was carefully and correctly performed ; the principal singers being Mr . Donald King , Mr . Weiss , Miss L . Payne , and Miss Harriet Cawse Mr . Caulfield was very good in the part of a drunken domestic . The reception of the piece was favourable , but by no means enthusiastic .

      Actios ion Lima . iOAissr the Publisokss of " Pouch . "—A rale baring been granted by the Bail Court a few days ago , against Messrs . Bradbury and Evans , tbe printers and publishers of Punch . Mr . Baddeley moved , on Monday , that the rule be made absolute . Mr . Wells . appeared to show cause against the rule . From his statement it appeared that a dinner took place in Galway on tbe 17 th of March last , at which the Rev . Peter Daly presided as chairman . There were about sixty persons present . In the course of the evening one or the toasts given was that of " The Press , when an individual of the name of Blake responded to it , and used language of an extraordinary kind . Tha language as set forth in the affidavit was this : " He proposed tbat there should be selected 100 '

      men like himself;—that forty should be sent'W Liverpool , thirty to Bristol , and thirty to Portsmouth , who upon a certain day should 8 e £ -ffife"tO and burn the English fleet , and . ., ao / destroy ber " Majesty ' s government . " Thi $ r $ pguage was uttered in the presence of the '' reverend gentleman , who it appeared indignantly protested against the use of such language . Mr . Blake was silenced on tbat occasion , partly in consequence of the protest of the reverend gentleman and partly on account of tbe protect of the other persons present ; and the festivities of the evening went on . By an unfortun ate mistake tbil language was attributed to the reverend gentleman instead of to Mr . Blake .

      Lambeth.'—Dbrbt-Dav .Amusements.—Charles...

      LAMBETH . '—Dbrbt-dav . Amusements . —Charles James Proedy ' and George Thpmas ^ Preedy , .. two beardless youths , the soils of a surgeon residing in the vicinity of Gray ' s-ihn-road , appeared before Mr . Elliott , 'to answer to a charge of' assaulting Mr . ttenry Dobson , a coachmaker and , livery ' stable keeper in Go ' swoII-streefc , by throwing bags of flour and injuring his clothes on the Derby-day . —From the statement of Mr . Wontner , and the testimony of several witnesses , it appeared that Mr . Dobson , while proceeding with two friends' in . a / phaeton to the Epsom i $ ce course on the Derby-oay , passed one of Grainger ' s pleasure vans the . other side of Tooting . Mr . Dobson having on an outside coat of somewhat conspicuous appearance , ' the defendants ,

      one of whom was sitting alongside Mr : Grainger , the driver of the van , and the other . on . the roof of the vehicle , commenced chaffing , him ' about his " Moses'duffer ;" and hot content with thiSi began to throw pellets of flour at them , until Mr . Dobson and his friends were completely smothered in flour . Enraged at their conduct , Mr . Dobson . got OUtof his phaeton , and , laying hold' of the defendant Charles by the coat , he endeavoured to drag him off the box . He did not , however , succeed ,, and in his effort he tore his coat and trousers . ' A . number of the persons inside the van' ther . got out , of the vehicle , and , with the defendant George ,. made a fierce , attack upon the complainant , so that , the consequences might have been very serious to the latter

      had he not been assisted by some gentlemen to whom he had appealed for protection .. As it was , however , he got very roughly handled , was struck on tho face with a stick by one of the . defendants , who tore ' away a portion of the front , of his trousers ; so that , with his clothes covered ! with flour , he presented a most ridiculous appearance , and his pleasure was destroyed for the dayi' Mr , Dob ' BOQ had some knowledge of the defendants from their having some time ago brought an old chaise to . his place , which they wished him to exchange for a better one , but he should have remained in . perfect ignorance of their names and addresses had not one

      of them instructed an attorney to bring an action against him in one of the superior , courts at Westminster for the injury done to his . clothes . —Mr . Cooper called a number of witnesses , whose evidence differed considerably from that given , on the part of the complainant . —Mr . Elliott remarked that it was quite clear that the defendants were the first aggressors , and convicted them In a penalty of 40 s . each , or in default of j-ayment to fourteen days ' imprisonment . —The father of the defendants said tbat so scandalous" had been the conduct of the complainant that he should not pay a shilling of the penalty ; and the youths were sent to prison .

Henry Fraser Dimsdale , the son of Baron Dimsdale , was brought up in custody by Adam S & undevs , one of the summoning officers belonging to the court , on a warrant , charging him with assaulting Mr . Jarman and others , by pelting them with eggs and other missiles , on their return from Epsom on the Oaks day . Saunders deposed that he holdVi warrant for some days for the apprehension of Messrs . Henry and Thomas Dimsdale and Captain Williams , but up to Wednesday morning he had not succeeded in finding either of the parties . Information had reached him on that morning that Mr . Henry Dimsdale was about to appear at the Court of Queen ' s Bench , Westminster , as a witness in a case set down for trial ; he attended there and after some delay succeeded in finding Mr . Dimsdale in a coffee-room of a tavern in the vicinity of

      Pa-1-ice-yard . On seeing him he asked the gentleman if his name was not Mr . Henry Dimsdale , and ho at once replied that it was , and he then told him he held a warrant for his apprehension , on a charge of assaulting Mr . Jarman and others , by throwing eggs at them on the Oaks day . Mr . Dimsdale did not make any reply , and he took him in a cab to the court . —The solicitor who attended for Mr . Dimsdale , but whose name did not transpire , begged to assure the magistrate that his client , Mr . Dimsdale , had not kept out of the way from any wish to evade tho law in this case , but had left England on business of a private nature before any complaint bad been made , and only learned the fact of the complaint through tho columns of the newspapers . —The prisoner entered into his own recognisances for £ 40 , and Mr . Henry Frederick Dolt , cf Charing-cross , solicitor , and Mr . Appleyard , of Lincoln's-inn-square , solicitor , in £ 30 each , when the prisoner was liberated .

      Ciurgb OF Bioamv . —Mr . Wm . Gordon , a middle-aged man of clerical appearance , who was described on tho police sheet as a " scripture reader , " was placed at the bar on a charge of bigamy in intermarrying with Miss Mary Eliza Peters , the daughter of a highly respectable tradesman , his former wife , Susan Sussex Gordon , being still alive . —From the certificates put in and the evidence adduced it appeared tbat in the month of July , 1841 , the prisoner had been married to his first wife at the parish church of Horthen , in Devonshire , and the issue of that marriage was two children . On the 19 th August last , having previously paid his

      addresses to Miss Peters as a single man , ho wan married to that lady at the parish church of St . Ann , Wesroinster . Some circumstances had recently occurred to lead Mr . Peters to believe that the "former wife of the prisoner was living ; be caused an inquiry to be set on foot , the result of which was a confirmation of his suspicion , and ho in consequence applied for and obtained a warrant against the accused . —The prisoner ' s defence was that he had been completely drawn into the first marriage at a time when he was perfectly unconscious of what he did , and , therefore , he did not consider the ceremony a legal one . —He was remanded for tbe attendance of tho necessary

      witnesses . WESTMINSTER . — Daring Shop Robbery . — William Smith was finally examined before Mr . Burrell on a charge of stealing a gold watch and silver watch from , the shop window of Mr .

      WORSHIP-STREET .-Despekate Encounter WITH Burgiabs . —Michael Butler , who has been repeatedly in custody upon charges of burglary and highway robbery , was placed at tbe bar before Mr . Tyrwbitt , charged with having been concerned with another man not in custody , in breaking into the premises of Mr . Henry Bateman , a wheelwright in Holywell-lane , Shoreditch , and also with having assaulted and wounded the prosecutor , with intent to murder him . It appeared from the evidence of Mr . Bateman , that between twelve arid one o ' clock on the night of Friday , the 15 th of February last , he returned home from tbe house of a friend with whom he bad spent the evening , and found that the outer gates leading into his yard were closed and

      locked as he had left them , but on crossing over to the side entrance of his dwelling-house he observed that the door was partly opened , and heard a low whispering of mens voices inside . He immediately closed the door and retreated underneath the window of the bedroom in which his brother slept , to whom he was calling loudly by name , when two men suddenly rushed out upon ' him through the street door , one of whom dealt him a . violent blow on tho head with a life-preserver , which caused him to stagger back , and before he could recover himself the other attempted to knock him down with the butt-end of a horse pistol . Witness instantly closed with the foremost of his assailants , and a desperate struggle ensued between them , in the

      course ot which the other man kept beating him incessantly over the head with tho life-preserver , inflicting several severe wounds , from which the blood poured down his face and person , but he still pertinaciously retained his hold of the first man , and while grappling with him they both rolled over and fell into an adjoining horsepond . The struggle was there resumed between them , and after receiving repeated blows from the pistol , which almost deprived him of consciousness , he at length succeeded in wresting it from bis assailant ; and two or threo policemen having now made their appearance at the front of the gates and demanded admittance , the two burglars hastily made their way on to the top of the external wall and effected their

      escape , ine constables were then admitted by his brother , who had been disturbed b y his cries and on searching the pond ^ and yard they discovered the hone-pistol ! an d [ life-preserver now produced , the latter of which had been surmounted by the head of a heavy bronze eagle , which had been broken off from tbe handle by the force of the blows inflicted upon him , and the beak of which had cut through his hat in different places , producing several deen wounds m his head and forehead . The officers also found a " jemmy or crowbar lying in the neigh-, bouruood of the same spot , and the skirt of one of the burglarSijcoats , which he had torn off during ' ^ 'TM ^ T ih *? ' ?? d tne remainder of which ^ oat was afterwards picked up in the street , iSF & iVP * ' *?? Pockets a »« k handkerchief , % b , ich had been stolen from the premises . Witness

      ' #%% in the meantime conveyed upstairs to bed , Where he remained under the care of a surgeon for a considerable time in a very dangerous condition , and upwards of two months elapsed before he had entirely recovered from the effects of the injuries he had sustained . In answer to questions from the magistrate , the prosecutor stated that he was himself unable to identify the prisoner , the sudden and desperate nature of tbe attack bavin afforded him no opportunity to scrutinize the persons of bis assailants . Police-constable Chambers swore to tbe identity of the prisoner , as tbe moen was shining brightly at the time , and ; be was well acquainted with his person from having seen hint repeatedly , prowling about the 'neighbourhood . — Police constable- Evans stated that m consequence of infownatioh of the burglary haying been lodged

      at the station ' house , he and other constables had been " eyersince engaged in searching for the prisoner , but unsuccessfully until last Saturday evening when he succeeded'in tracing ' him toa ' public-house in Boot-Street , Spitalfields , and after a desperate resistance took him into' custody . ' ' With the assistance of another officer' ho forced him on for some distance in the direction of the station house , when the prisonerafteranotberstrenuous effort to escape suddenly asked him what good it could do him to " settle" him , and offered to present him with £ 10 , if he would consent , to " square " it . —The prisoner was recognised by several constables in attendance as having been repeatedly in custody- for highway robbery and other serious offences , and ifc was stated by Morrell , an active detective officer of tho N division , that the prisoner had been no Jess than four times convicted , and sentenced upon one of those occasions' to seven years' transportation , but thafc ifc was afterwards commuted , to a

      twelvemonths'imprisonment . —Remanded . . FonoKBv . —Mary Johnson ,-an elegantly attired young woman , of considerable personal attractions , was placed at the bar before Mr .

Blackwood , the

      publishers , and made payable at . the banking house of Messrs Child snd Co ., requested him to accommodate her with cash for the amount . Tbe prisoner afthe same time intimated that she had received it direct from Messrs . Blackwood , as a remuneration for some literary productions which she had furnished for their Magazine . Witness , thereupon , cashed it for her , and about two days after she again called with a similar promissory note for £ 20 , which he was likewise induced to discount upon the faith of the same representations . On the 3 rd inst . the prisoner brought him a third promissory note for £ 40 , which sljealso wished him to cash ; but suspecting from the frequency of her visits that there might be something doubtful about

      the security of the transaction , he objected fco cash the note , but consented to advance her £ 5 upon it , which the prisoner accepted , and immediately after she had left despatched a messenger to make inquiries at the banking-house , where it was ascertained that Messrs . Blackwood kept no account at that establishment . On communicating the result to the prisoner , she expressed herself in strong terms of indignation against Messrs . Blackwood for their remissness in not lodging the amount of the notes where they . were made payable , and begged him to wait a few days until the second one came due , when she would call and discbarge them both . He consented fco do so , but in the interval made such inquiries as satisfied him that they were

      forgeries , and therefore sent for the prisoner , and upon communicating to ber what he had ascertained , she again assured himthey were genuine , and invited him to proceed with her to the residence of Sir G-. Armytage , in Cambridge-suuare , Hyde-park , whom she designated as her cousin , and that the matter would be speedily and satisfactorily arranged ? . He accordingly accompanied her there in a cab , from which the prisoner alighted at the house , and after remaining a considerable time inside again joined him , and , without entering into the particulars of her visit , directed the cabman to drive to tho residence of Lord Tillicrs , in Charles-street , Berkeleysquare . Having been informed by the porter on their arrival there thafc his lordship was not at

      home , the prisoner desired fco be conveyed to the house of Mr . Mackenzie , a solicitor , in River-terrace , Islington , with whom she also had an interview , leaving witness in the cab , and on coming out told him she had been advised by'her solicitor to proceed at once to Leamington * to procure the money , and requested further indulgence , but witness refused to part with her , and ultimately gave her into custody . —The prisoner , who listened to the evidence with an air of coolness and perfect self-possession , declined putting any questions to the witnesses , and made no observations in answer to the charge . —Mr . Hammill intimated his intention to send the case before a jury , and ordered the prisoner to be remanded for the formal completion of the depositions . MARYLEBOiVE . — A " Gentlemak . " — A tall

      well-dressed person , of military appearance , who gave his name John Francis Bigge , and said that he resided at No . 62 , Queen-street , Edgeware-road , was charged with an assault upon Sir George Armytage , Bart ., 27 , Cambridge . square , Hyde-park . —Complainant said at two on Monday afternoon , as I was walking with Lady Armytage and Miss Morgan , in the Edgeware-road , we met defendant , who immediately turned round and spat right in my face , saying , " I have done it , and here's my card , " at the same time handing his card to me . A policeman , who was close by , took him in charge at my desire ) and at the station-house he wished to make me an apology , but I objected to accept one from him . He stated that there was a banditti in London who wero constantly insulting him , and

      he had recently done the same thing to a Frenchman which he did to me to-day . —Miss Morgan and the police having corroborated this evidence , Defendant said : 1 was returning from a short walk when some gentlemen made an insulting sign to me . I passed on , and was going towards my home , when , at the corner of Burwood-place , I saw the complainant and two ladies walking together . Complainant made to me a similarly insulting sign . I turned round to him , when ho gave me a most insolent look , upon which I went forward and spat in his face , I thought be intended fco challenge me , and I therefore gave him my card . I did it merely as an example , to show him that he should not do such a thing again . I think , however , tbat

      it must have been a mal-entendu , since Sir George states that he never saw me before . He is a gentleman , and I am a gentleman also . —Mr . Broughton You surely don't mean to say thafc what you are charged with was the act of a gentleman . —Defendant - . I don't know . The Count Rossi , and others , have done the same thing . —Mr . Broughton ( to complainat ) : Bid you make any sign whatever to the defendant when you met him ?—Complainant : None , sir , whatever . —Defendant ( much excited ) : At tbe station I expressed my sorrow at what had taken place , and offered what I thought was all tbat was necessary , but he ( complainant ) said he would not be satisfied with an apology . —Complainant : Defendant admits that he spat in a Frenchman ' s face , a few days before he committed the

      same act towards me , and I consider that upon public grounds I am right in bringing this case forward . —Mr . Broughton ( to defendant ) : I can look upon your conduct in no other light than that of a most gross outrage upon the complainant , and that it was of such a nature that he could not , as a gentleman , pass it over simply by an apology such as you offered at the station-house to make . — Defendant : 1 protest , sir , against your view of the matter . —Mr . Broughton , who had been interrupted while making bis observations , sentenced defendant to pay £ 3 , or to be imprisoned six weeks , in addition to which he was ordered to enter into his own recognisances in £ 50 , for his keeping the peace towards Sir George Armytage for two months .

      Attempted . AssAssiYAnoN . —Thomas Treretfc , a broker , living at Kent Cottage , Charles-lane , Portland-town , was brought before Mr . Broughton npon the charge of drunkenness , disorderly conduct , and assault ; and also with the very serious offence of having attempted to stab a police constable with a bayonet . —Holland , a policeman ; said : On Tuesday evening , at about eight o ' clock , I saw a large mob assembled in Charles-street , and on going to see what was the matter , I found the prisoner in the midst of the crowd , stripped to hia shirt . He was extremely noisy , and swore he would fight anybody ; and knowing that he lived near at hand , I desired him to go quietly home , but he swore he would do nothing of the sort . I laid

      hold ol him , and having led lam to his house , put him in-doors . . Soon after this I heard loud cries of " Murder , " and I endeavoured at once to make niy way in , but could not do so as the prisoner bad fastened the door . Afc last some one opened it and I entered , when I found the prisoner standing on some bricks in the yard , with a bayonet in his hand , and on his seeing me he threatened to kill me if I approached , I dared him to come down , upon which he threw at me a wooden spout , and jumping from the heap of bricks , upon which he had placed himself , he made a desperate thrust at my head with his bayonet , but fortunately by dodging on one side I prevented him from doing me injury . I closed with him , when a violent struggle took

      place between us , and at that period some other officers came to my assistance . ' ' Prisoner was then , after offering all the resistance in his power , conveyed to the station-house and locked up . —Thomas Kerslake , a labourer : I followed tho police into the house , imagining from the screams I heard murder was being " committed ,- and I am satisfied that Holland would have been dangerously wounded , and perhaps killed , if I had not rushed upon the prisoner , and wrested the bayonet from his grasp just as he was a third time making a stab . It was further stated , that while the prisoner was locked

      up iu a cell at the station he made attempts to commit suicide , once by stuffing his socks down his throat , and twice by thrusting iiia head into the water closet . He swore that if he had but a knife in his possession it should find its way fco his heart ; aud so determined did he appear to be upon belf-dcstruction , that it was considered necessary for two officers to be in close watch upon him throughout tbe night . The prisoner , who said he had no defence to offer , was sent to hard labour in the House of Correction for two months , 'being one month for each of the two assaults ; aiid Inspector Champneys was told thafc afc the expiration of . the time alluded to the prisoner might bo proceeded

BOW-STREET . —Fruits of Bad Company—Michael Downey , a young man , genteely dressed , was charged with having in his possession four bad sovereigns , and with being drunk . —A Police Constable stated , ' that on Tuesday night the prisoner was drunk and disorderly in Rihg-s ' creet , Westminster , and when taken to the station house four counterfeit sovereigns , and some silver , were found in his possession . —The prisoner stated that ho hud been in company with two women , and had obtained change of a £ 5 note from a publican in Ordiard-streot , where he had some gin ; and , to questions by Mr . Henry , said he did not charge the

      publican with having given him the base coin , but was informed in the morning thafc be had so much bad money in his pocket when taken np . He was in the employ of the Rev . Mr . M'Goee , Roman Catholic clergyman , of 4 , Sutherland Place , Westmoreland Row , ' Bayswater , at a salary of 27 s . a week , as clerk to a chapel of which the foundation stone had been laid . He had taken out a loan to enable him to purchase the suit of black in which he appeared ; and tho rev . gentleman had kindly given him a £ 5 note on account to pay the loan . — Mr . Henry said there would be no use in making inquiry of the clergyman if the prisoner ' s statement were not true , but as he persevered in making that statement inquiry should be ' made , and the prisoner wasremanded accordingly .

      Caroline Reed and Martha Hastings , the women who had been with the prisoner , were , for tbeir disorderly conduct , each committed to the House ot Correction for a week . ' ' MARLBOROUGH-STREET .-RoBBBBY .- William Gamely a boy , was charged with stealing three or four small bits of sugared chocolate , the property of Thomas Gatti . The prosecutor said he had a machine at work showing the process of manufacturing chocolate . The boy was employed

      to clean the machinery . Several parcels of chocolate had lately been stolen , and no doubt , the theft had been committed by the prisoner . The value ol the chocolate was not the consideration—but the mischief that had already been done . Her Majesty had signified her intention of examining the oleaginous . substance in the form of butter procured from the cocoa berry . A quantity was prepared , but when her Majesty came to inspect it the butter was nowhere to be found . —Mr . Hardwick sent the boy to prison for ten days .

      Begoisg Petition Impostok . —Walter Scott was brought before Mr . Hardwick charged with having attempted to obtain money from the Duke of Roxburghe , by false and fraudulent pretences . His Grace the Duke having clearly proved the casewhich presented no feature of interest—Mr . Hardwick sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment in the House of Correction . GUILDHALL . — Forgery . — James Smith , a young man of gentlemanly appearance , was charged with forging two cheques—one for £ 73 , and the other for £ 10 . —Prisoner is the son of a clergyman in the west of England , where he was apprehended

      on Sunday last at his father ' s residence . His own account of the affair , as given to tbe ofbeer , is as follows-. — " I met a lot of skittle sharpers in Oxiford-streefc , who invited me to a neighbouring public-house , and subsequently persuaded me to bet upon their play . I did so , and lost all my money . They then persuaded me to pledge my watch , the proceeds of which tbey procured in a similar way . I was then left without a penny in my pocket , and without even tho means of securing a night ' s lodging . I afterwards thought of a Mr . Lewis whom I knew , and accordingly drew a check in his name for £ 10 on the London and Westminster Bank .

      Having succeeded in getting the money , I started for Somersetshire again , but when I got as far as Slough , near Windsor , it struck me that I might go back and get more money . With this view Istopped afc the Slough station and asked the porter for a piece of paper , and wrote out a cheque for £ 73 in Mr , Lewis ' s name and on the same bank ; I returned to London , presented the cheque , and obtained its pretended value . I have spent all the money with the exception of a few pounds in riding about the country . The remainder is in the coal cellar . " The offijer found in the place indicated £ 10 7 s lOd . —Mr . Lewis , of whose name prisoner had made clandestine use , had ( eftthe conrtwhen his evidence was required . —Sir Peter Laurie strongly animadverted on this proceeding , and immediately adjourned the case . MANS 1 ON-H ODSE . —Abso . v . —James Hoggins , charged with setting fire to a house and premises in Lime-street was re-examined . The previous depositions having been read , some additional evidence was heard , and the accused again remanded .

      GREEN WICII . —Attempted Murder . —Robert Thomas Moore , a very respectably-dressed man , aged forty , residing at No . 2 , Lucas-street , Newtown , Deptford , for many years foreman of the caulkers in her Majesty ' s Dockyard , Deptford , was charged by police-sergeant Weale with cutting and wounding Mary Ann Moore , his wife , with intent to murder her , and from whose evidence it appeared that while on duty at the station , at twelve o ' clock , the prisoner came to the station , and said he had come to give himself up for murder . Upon being asked whom he had murdered , he said his wife ; thafc she was standing reading a book , when he took a shell from the mantelpiece and struck her on the back of tho head , which stunned her ; that

      he then seized hold of the poker and beat her several times on the head with it , breaking the poker in doing so . On receiving the dreadful information he ( witness ) sent into the police court for Inspector Mark , who was attending the magistrate with the night charges , and to whom he communicated the facts . The witness then proceeded to the prisoner ' s house , by order of the inspector , taking with him Dr . Cowcher , of Florence-place , Deptford . —Mr . Kingston Mark , inspector of police , deposed that he found the wife of the prisoner with her head most fearfully cut and completely saturated with blood , and in a corner of the room where she had lain was also a pool of blood . —Mr . Cowcher stated tbat he bad just left the unfortunate woman . He found her jaws broken in several places , and her head and face covered with deep wounds . There was a lacerated wound of three inches on the left

      temple ; one on the nose two inches ; one of three inches on the left cheek ; the lower jaw bone broken in several pieces ; the back of the head with cuts from three inches to one in length ; in fact , she was one entire mass of bruises and cuts . The left side of the neck also was extensively injured . He dressed her wounds , and then left her in a state of insensibility , in the care of a nurse and other persons . Witness considered there was little or no hope of her recovery . The wounds were inflicted with a large shell and a poker . —Mr . Seeker ( the magistrate ) remanded the prisoner , intimating that the unhappy woman should be constantly under medical inspection , and that , should she rally so as to be able to make any declaration , the police might promptly inform him of the fact , when he would accompany the clerk for that purpose . —The prisoner has since stated the deed was done under temporary excitement .
