Slaxev moved the second reading of this bill , which he had broneht in upon the recommendations of two successive committees , its object being to give to industrial and provident a-sociations ofthe humbler classes tbe advantage ot havin a cheap tribunal . He bad communicated with the risrht " honourable gentleman opposite ( Mr . Henley ) , and found that the principle of granting such a tribunal was general ly admitted . But with tbe view of presenting the bill in the most acceptable shape to the house , he proposed io read it a second time now , and then refer it to a select committee .

      Mr . IlEStfiT was extremely glad the subject bad been brought under the consideration of the house , because a great number of persona were interested in it , and were very sanguine in their expectation of benefit being derived from Fomesuch measure . It was necessary , however , that the bill should go to a Select Committee , for desirable as it might be in the first instance to bringa measure of this nature within tho provisions of the Friendly Society s Act , yet the question required the most serious consideration , lest new and greater difficulties were created than those Which already existed . .,. , »_ j „ . „ j t » v „ Tbe bill was then read a second tune , and ordered to be referred to a select committee . The Proclamation for Assembling Parliament Bill was read a second time . , ... ... , The Burghs ( Scotland ) Bill was read a third time and The house adjourned at twenty minutes past five o ' clock . THURSDAY , Aran 22 .

Alban ' s Disfranchisement Bill was , after some discussion , read a second time . - Lord Rkdesoale then moved that counsel be heard at the bar in opposition to the bill . After some discussion , in which the motion was supported as being conformable with precedent by Lord Campbell , and opposed by Earl Grey , and other noble lords , The Louse divided—For the motion 41 Against it 15 Majority « —26 Tbeir lordships then adjourned . BOUSE OF COMMONS . —Kkw Mbuher . —Sir Fimrot Jlellt took the oaths and'his seat for Harwich . The hon . and learned gentleman was introduced to Sir It . H , Inglis and Mr . Masterman . Numerous petitions wero presented .

      TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE . Mr . Milser Gibsos brought under the notice of the Louse the policy of deriving revenue from Taxes upon Knowledge , for the purpose of moving , in separate resolutions—that such financial arrangements ought to be made as would enable Parliament to dispense with the duty on paper ; that the newspaper stamp ongbt to be abolished ; and that the tax on advertisements ought to be repealed . Be wished to be understood as not representing any particular interest , neither that of the paper maker , nor tbe newspaper proprietor , nor the publisher of cheap productions ; therefore , if he were told that certain paper makers , newspaper proprietors , or publishers were opposed to tho repeal of these taxes on the ground of vested interest , that would be no answer to ' the motion . Neither could he

      permit this to be treated as a party question . His motion was amply that the duty on paper ought not to be considered as part of our permanent system of taxation . The Excise regulations connected with the manufacture of paper were most oppressive aud vexatious ; yet they were not sufficient to protect the honest against the . fraudulent manufacturer . . Notwithstanding the precautions of the Excise , it was a notorious fact that large quantities of paper were sold which had never paid duty , ^ nd they came in competition " with tho goods of the fair and honest trader who was subject to taxation . Be beld in his band a letter from Mr . Herbert Ingram , the proprietor of the " Illustrated London News , " to the Chancellor of the Exchequer , in which he clearly showed the evils arisins from the existing system , and the great

      l ) enefit 3 that would result to the pnblic as well as to the trade if the Excise impost was removed . Ha mentioned that when the manufacturer obtained straw from farmers to use in the production of paper , that simple article was taxed 100 per cent ; Therefore , as an agricultural question , he submitted it to Hon . Members opposite . If the tax were repealed , it would have a most beneficial effect in increasing the employment of capital and labour in Ireland . There was no reason why tbe people of this country , Under a judicious system , should not become tbe exporters Of paper as well as cotton to all tho world . ( Hear , hear . ) Bis argument was , that the paper duty did not so much increase the price of cheap literature as it retarded its good . We have cheapness in onr literature , but we wanted goodness too , and he would now , with the permission of

      the House , point out how the duty interfered with its quality . Mr . Cassell , a large publisher of penny works , one of which was called the " Public Instructor , " paid £ 100 per week to the government for duty , and if that tax were abolished , the money would not go into his pocket , or to reducing tbe price of his publication , bnt rather to improving the literary matter which it contained . It was a monstrous thing that a man before he could circulate such useful publications as he had in bis eye must pay £ 100 a week to the public Exchequer , and though he had failed to make his position intelligible to the bouse , he hoped the day was not far distant when tbe paper duty , which rightly belonged , not to the government , but to the literary man , wonld be struck out of the statute book . Upon this branch of the subject he had received a letter

      from Mr . Charles Sn'ght , wherein be proved that in the Case of many valuable publications the government derived more profit from them than " the writers or the contributors . Nothing could stop tbe progress of cheap literature ; and it was , therefore , ofthe utmost importance that it should be rendered as good in quality as possible . Tbe paper-duty only yielded £ 1 , 00 , 000 ; and he called upon tho house to decide whether that was a fair set-off against the moral good which it prevented in the country . The fact was the tax like the stamp and advertisement duties , was put on in , a time of war , not so much , lie suspected , for the purposes of revenue , as to . give the government some control over the press . The advertisement duty , which produced £ 160 , 000 a yeas . was as stupid as it was as nnjdst . 2 feed he point Out that it

      was lor the interest of the country that its commerce and trade should be as free as the air we breathe . ( Hear . ) "Well , what was it that stood in tho way of one man making known his wants to another but this very advertisement duty ? In America , where no such duty existed , there were 10 , 000 . 000 advertisements inserted in the newspapers every year , but in this country the number scarely reaches 2 , 000 , 000 a year . But the injustice of thistax was abominable . The servant girl was charged the same as the nobleman or the pnblic company " possessed of boundless wealth : while a line was charged the samp as a page , —but the fact was , he repeated , the tax was intended to cripple our newspapers , and not to raise revenue , or why was not the same tax imposed on advertising Tans , omnibuses , and dead walls ? He would now pass to tbe question ofthe newspaper stamo . and show

      that it was nsver intended as a revenue tax . How was it originated ? On the 17 th January , 1711 , there was a message from the crown , and , at the end of that message , there was a complaint of the licence that wag than taken in publishing libels , and recommending the bouse to devise - some remedy . The house in its reply admitted the evil , promising to find out some remedy , and in accordance with that promise certain resolutions were passed , amongst which was one establishing the newspaper tax . So the house would see the origin of this tax , as well as the advertisement and paper duty , was to Supersede the office of censor , lie , for one , did not object to the stamp , so far as it related to the postal transmission , but the tax traw imposed on 80 . 000 , 000 of papers annally , while only 33 , 000 , 000 availed themselves of the post office . What he

      wanted then was that oniy the latter number should be taxe <» , and he was glad to say that Rowland Hill thought with iiim . Mr . Gibson referred to the contents of certain unstamped productions to show that the tax did not accomplish its ori ginal purpose—that of checking the dissemination oi mischievous matter Prom this topic he returned to the vast circulation ofthe " Times , " which , he said , seemed lo be eating up the rest of the press ; the effect of its extra-01 dinwy popularity bein ^ , as Mr . Gibson argued , a serious evil , by creating a kind of monopoly and limiting the diffusion o , intelligence , and which he endeavoured to trace to tne tax in question . After some general remarks upon the poncy oi these Jaj . es , and the embarrassments to which they might lead , he contended that parliament was justified in dealing with them upon broadpublic grounds

      , . m ^ T - f seeonde » Ac motion , dwelling upon the etteets ot the advertisement and stamp duties , which , arguing from ike example of America , he maintained , limited the circulation of newspapers in this country , and robbed the poor of an innocent enjoyment . The Chascbixob of the Exchequer assured Mr . Gibson that tie present government were not actuated by any sinister feelings towards the newspaper press , or any apprehension respecting its influence . He was bound to coneider these questions , not under pbilantbropical or popular aspects , bnt as a financier . With regard to the paper duty , he did uot contest the accuracy of Mr . Gibson ' s observations upon the effects of the Excise regulations upon the manufacture of paper , but be was not aware that their

      injurious operation was limited to that manufacture ; he could make out as good a case for soap . The question was whether they wore not n-cessary evils . With every desire to relieve industry and to promote education , but considermg , as he must , the iff < cs of these propositions upon the credit and fiuanc s of the ronntry , he did not feel justified Mi assai . ting to them . Oa Friday , the 30 th , he would place ceiore the houie the real sfr-ite of tbe finances of the country , and when Mr . Gibson and his friends were in possestw ot that statement it would be open to them to declare dufiLi ? ^ vitl 1 re spect to the advertisement and stamp " «?* .

      duty yerymuoh from the duty on paper , which was so largo that every one should hesitate before he consented to reliugnieh it . AU these matters , however , depended entirel y upon the state of the finances , and the House must feel the great inconvenience of coming to a . premature decision on questions of this kind . -: ; He . reminded the House that there wag a determination on its part not to impose new taxes ; that the two great sources of our indirect taxation had been attacked , and that a committee was now making war upon a principal source of bur directtaxation . Under these circumstances the House should pause before it adopted a motion that wonld reduce the menue nearly £ 1 , 500 , 000 , and he thought it was not . asking too much to call uuon it to permit him to make his financial statement without the incumbrance of such a vote .: ne , therefore , felt it to be his duty . to oppose the motiop ; Mr . Wakmt suggested that : after this declaration the debate should not be prolonged , and he moved that it ; he . adjourned ' " '

      . .. j ^ -mS Mr . Cobden concurred in this suggestion , as well as Mr . Gibson , who , baying been absent from the house during tho speech of Mr . Disraeli , wished to have a distinct uiiderstanaing whether the subject of these duties was to be taken into consideration by the government . ., . . , The Chahcbllor of the Exchequer said , what hehaa stated was not with reference ts this motion . In reviewing the taxation of tbe country these duties could not be omitted from consideration , but it was not to be supposed irom any statement he had made that they had been specially considered . No terms had been made as a condition of tbe adjournment . .. After some observations from Mr . Hume , Mr . wowait , and Mr . Frewen , the debate was adjourned . The other business was soon disposed of , and the house adjourned at a quarter past eight o clock .

      which it involves , feel tt to be their solemn duty to assert the great : principle that the civil power , whether viewed in its legislative or administrative functions , has no right , authority , or title to interfere with tbe religions ' opinions or to direct and control the religious practices of the people . That applying this principle to religions endowments and schemes of national education , this meeting feels bound to withhold its support from any and every candidate who is not prepared to oppose any attempt to endow one sect at the expense of others , or to the extension of the principle of endowment or state support to all sects ; and who is not prepared also to defend . and support the religious education of . the people , unfettered by state pay or state control , as the . most precious guarantee of the civil and religious liberties of this country .

      THE ENGINEERS'STRIKB . . . .:.- A oase of considerable importance to both masters and men bas been brought under the consideration of the Hon . G . C . Norton , at the Lambeth Police-court . Two men , named Francis Keene and Richard Oram , operative engineers , and members of the Engineers' . Amalgamated Society , were brought before that magistrate on a warrant , charging them with having assaulted James Goodman , one of their own class , in the employment of Messrs . Maudslay . and Field , the extensive engineers in Lambeth . James Goodman said : —I am an engineer in . the- employment of Messrs . Maudslay and Field . On Saturday last , the 10 th inst ., I left my work at four o ' clock , and went alone to the Tower public-house . After ! had been there about ten minutes the two defendants came in . together ,

      and two others accompanied them . The defendants asked if there were many , at work at our place , and T replied there were a great number of them . They said ,. " I suppose you have signed the document " ( a declaration'by those who have signed it that they had no connexion with tbe Amalgamated Engineers' Society ) ,, and I replied , " Yes . " Richard Oram addressed me first . I . then added that we had a great number at work , and that a great many others would like to come too if they . had a chance .. They then called me all the '' knobsticks " they could think of , and used bad language . Afriend of mine named Gumming was present , and he , / addressing them , said , " Why don ' t you let the young man alone ? " Up to this time I had hot spoken to them , but tbey immediately began cursing and swearing at me as hard as they could .. ( The witness here corrected

      himself by saying that Oram alone had used bad language to bim . ) Cummiog then went for a policeman , and the defendants followed him out , and I walked behind . . I then saw two friends of the defendants oh tho opposite side of tho way . All four came . 'across tbe road and ran after Cumming , and struck him . Oram struck first . I received several blows on the nose , and while striking me the defendants made fcse of a bad expression , saying you are one of them . ( The witness exhibited marks on the face . ) . In CroSs examination the witness said—I am . not , and never was , a member of tho Amalgamated Society , but I did receive eigbteenpence from them for ; eight days . ! am not a working ingineer , but an engineer ' s , labourer . . 1 will swear that before any words were spoken by the defendants , neither Camming , nor the others present , . bor myself , nor

      anybody in the employment of Messrs . ' . Maudslay , began shaking our pockets and ringing our money . Twill swear that 1 did not see any money shown to tbo defendants . I did not bear anybody present say to the ' defendants ,. '' . You poor Amalgamated— . "No threats were used towards them . —James Joseph Cumming , an englheeringlabqiirer , in the employment of Messrs . Maudslay and . . Field , corrobo > rated the greater , part ' of . the statement of the last , witness . In bis cross-examination this , witness said he never belonged to the Amalgamated Society , but had received altogether 8 s . 3 d . all the time . he was »/ outi" . He had never applied to the society ' to support bim . He niade SO direct application to tho society , but understanding that the committee were sitting af the Crown publichouse , he went there , and received 5 si * 6 ' iit of " do .

      nations received . at two public-houses , and altogether only got 8 s . 3 . d—A witness nametT James Swaih said he saw the complainant and defendants sta-Uding neirHheend of the Watherloo-road on the day in question . " ' The former bad his hands in his pockets , and kept ' calling after the latter that they , bad money in . them . ' / A'scuffle then ensued , bnt it was very soou . over . This " witriess- 'denied being a member of the Amalgamated Society , though he acknowleged receiving money from . " the ^ society . — Stephen Shorthouse , a blacksmith ; who " wits in company with tbe last witness , completely corroborated his evidence , and added that the complainant put his finger to his hot *

      and pointed towards the defendants . This witness admitted being a member of the Amalgamated Society , ahd receiving pay from it . —Mr . Norton said it was blear that the evidence ofthe complainant did not bring ' the case within ' the terms ofthe Combination Act , and he was inclined to think they had in a great measure provoked the treatment they had experienced , by reason of their having called after the defendants , and acted offensively towards them , after having parted peaceably . He should not , therefore , send the case to the sessions , but impose a fine of 20 s . each , 5 » nd . theci-st of the warrant , or , in default , to stand committed to prison for twenty-one days each . —The fines were immediatel y paid , and the defendants at once discharged .

'The prisoner , who was a lawyers clerk at the time , finding her with so much comfort about her , wrote to the gentleman under whose protection she was for his permission to marry her . The comp lainant in an evil hour gave her consent , and about six months ago they were married . The prisoner soon lost : his situation , led a life of idleness , and lived , as it was represented was his intention , on the property of his wife , by pawning and Belling ifc . This led to various disagreements between the parties , and on theSIst of last month the prisoner was held to bail , but since then he had gone to the lodgings of his wife , and made use of threats to take away her life . — I he

      magistrate thougbtthat sufficient had been shown tojustify his calling on the prisoner to find additional bail for his good behaviour for six- months . —A Mr .

She expostulated with the prisoner , and begged of him hot to act in such a barbarous manner , on which he commenced swearing at her and threw some of the articles she had in her market basket into'the road . She picked them up , and he then laid bold of her and

      wanted to walk alongside of her , and treated her very roughly indeed . She broke away from him and hastened towards ber home . Believing she had got rid of the fellow altogether , she began to slacken her pace , when ho suddenly pounced upon her again and forced her into the road way . She called out for help , and he made use of a most dreadful expression and struck her a tremendous blow with his clenched fist under the jaw . which felled her to the ground . Some bystanders interfered and secured the prisoner . Her shawlwas torn by the prisoner when he first attacked her . The prisoner , in a most insolent and boisterous manner , said be was in a public-bouse when the woman came in and said" HallooJack ! Here you are !"

      , , and asked him to treat her , and , on his refusal to do so abused him most shamefully and lore his clothes . — The complainant , who is a very modest women , of retired habits , appeared astonished at the statement made by the prisoner , and being recalled by the magistrate said , it was quite untrue . She was in no public-house with the prisoner . —Roche , the gaoler , said the prisoner had not long been out of gaol , and belonged to a gang of ruffians who were in the practice of standing at the end of ah alley in the Mile-end-road , insulting women as they passed , putting their feet out aud tripping them up . —Mr .

" The prisoner was also charged with having violently assaulted the police , whilst in the execution of their duty . —Mr . Price having been sworn , said that on Monday forenoon , at about twelve o ' clock , the prisoner entered his house , drunk , and called for some liquor , which he refused to serve him with . He became very violent , and commenced breaking the gas ornaments and glasses , and subsequently he made , a murderous attack upon him ( Mr . Price ) , beat and kicked him in a dreadful manner , and no doubt would have murdered him , had it not beonfor the interference and

      assistance of bis neighbours . The prisoner escaped into a house , 21 , Baldwin ' s-gafdens , and the police were sentfor . — Henry Tyler , 43 O , whose hand was bandaged up , his finger having been nearly bitten off by the prisoner , deposed that he received information that an Italian had nearly murdered Mr . Price . He proceeded to Baldwin ' s-gardens , and entered the house No . 21 , into which the prisoner had escaped . He saw the prisoner , and told him the nature of the charge against him , and to consider himself in his custody . . . The prisoner became excedingly violent , and he was immediately surrounded , by about a dozen Italians , who swore that forty policemen should not take him . Witness deemed it prudent for his own safety to leave the place and procure assistance , and ho soon afterwards returned with a

      strong party of officers , with whom he entered the house , when the'prisoner rushed at him , knocked him down , kicked him , and , seizing his arm , forced his finger into his mouth , and nearly bit it off . They had a desperate struggle , and the prisoner clung to the banisters , which gave way , and they fell down stairs together . The other Italians pulled . out long knives to fight against the police , who were necessitated to use their staves to protect their lives . After great resistance the prisoner was secured in the station-house . —Mr . Tyywhitt ordered that the prisoner should pay the full amount of the damage done , or a week ' s imprisonment ; 20 s ., or a week , for the assault on Mr .

Shortly after six o ' clock that morning , he had occasion to proceed into the yard at the rear of his house , and had only been there" a short time when he heard the shrill cries of an infant , which evidently arose from the bottom of the closet adjoining his own , and attached to the . house in which the prisoner resided . After

      listening for about two minutes to the sounds , which graduall y subsided into a stifled moan , resembling that of a cbild iri the act of suffocation , he at length looked into the place whence the cries proceeded ; and distinctl y saw a heavy stone'br brick , which had evidently been dropped through the aperture of the adjoining closet . After a short interval tie observed a second stone fall down upon the spot , and the cries of ] the child , which had still continued after the descent of the first missile , were instantly hushed . He communicated what he had witne ' ssedto ono of his neighbours , who accompanied him into prisoner ' s'house , at tho back door of which they met'a young woman , whom he believed to be her daughter , in the act of entering from the yard , and on intimating to her what he had seen and heard , she'declared that h ' 6 must be mistaken , as ho one but herself had beOn there . On repeating his suspicions , however , she hastily passed him iind hurried up stairs to her mother ' s apartments , arid witness immediately repaired to tbe station-house ; and gave information

      of tbe occurrence to the police . —Green , } l 61 , proved that upon searching the place indicated ., by ttfe last witness , ho observed there a large brick and a flag stone , on removing which tho body of a male infant , which was still warm , and evidently : newly born , was discovered laid beneath them . After- wrapping up tbo body , which was quite naked , and placing it in the charge of another officer , he proceeded to the prisoner ' s room , and ori ' questioning her as to the condition of her daughter , who was lying upon a mattress on the floor , she stated that the latter hud gone to ; bed in apparent health , but had afterwards been ' taken ill , and had been twice down stairs during the night . Mr . 'Mears , the divisional surgeon , was then sent for , who examined the young woman , and directed her immediate removal to the infirmary of tho workhouse , to which the body of the deceased child was also conveyed , to await the coroner ' s inquest . —Mr .- D ' Eyncourfc said that it was ayery painful case , but as there was no evidence whatever to implicate the prisoner , he should at once order her tohe discharged , '

      DISGUSTIHG CHARGE , AGAINST A SURGEON . At the Marlborough-street Police Court , on Wednesday , a modest-looking girl came forward and said she had been invited . by another girl , an inmate of tbe same institution , about three weeks ago to take a walk , and had been token by that girl to a heuse in Portland-roadj where She had been introduced to a person who had attempted to commit a capital offence , but the attempt had been frustrated owing to her cries and resistance . She did not state what had happened , but on discovering that the same girl induced another ofthe inmates to promise to accompany her to the same gentleman ' s house in the Portland-road ; she made a communication to the matron , who at once 'informed the coinmittee . of what had been stated . As there appeared to be a strong-presumption that a system of entrapping young girls for immoral purposes could be established , tho committee deiermined upon taking magisterial advice on the case . —Mr . Hardwick , having questioned the girl , immediately directed a warrant to be issued against the person

      A Batch Op Ruffians. At The Hammersmith ...

      , comp , . Richard Amble , surgeon , of No . 1 , Portland-road , was brought in custody to this court , and placed before Mr . Bingham . —Mary Ann Newberry was then sworn . She said : I am nearly eighteen years of age . I am at present staying in a charitable institution , No . 0 , Rose-street . One of the girls , Harriet Berrington , a clergyman ' s daughter , asked me to take a walk about three weeks ago . I went with her , and she took me to a house , No .. l , Portlandroad . I stayed in the kitchen , and Harriet Berrington went upstairs . She remained so long , , that I sent the servant up to say IcpuW not wait any , longer . Sbe came down , accompanied by the defendant , whom I had never seen before . I was asked to go upstairs . I went into the drawing : room ,. and the defendant asked me how I did I said " Very well . " Tha defendant went

      , into a bedroom . ' with Harriet Berrington , but came out in a few minutes , and locked . her in the bedroom The defendant then looked the drawing-room door , and a abort time afterwards ho took mo by the shoulders , dragged me down . on . the floor , and attempted further violence , but I kept screaming loudly , and resisting him . I heard the girl Berrington kicking at tho door while I was screaming . In consequence of my screaming the defendant desisted , and I got up and immediately left tbe house . — Mr Bingham asked if the house in Portlaud-road was a house of ill-fame ?—Mr . Chapman said it was a private house , where , the defendant carried on business as a surgeon . —Mr . Bingham asked if there was any other case ?—Mr . Chapman said there was np other case . The other girl had only been asked by Berrington to go to the defendant's

      house , but she had been stopped from going . Tne comp lainant said Berrington had told her the defendant had p srsuaded her to bring as many young girls to him as she oould . —Defendant : ' I am perfectly innocent of the charge . I had no felonious intention . Miss Bi'rrin ^ on ' a father , a clergyman , lived in my house , arid I was very kind both to father and daughter ; in fact , I almost supported both of them . The daughter sometimes called upon me , and once when she called she told me she was staying in a place of refuge near Soho-square . The last time she called she brought a young girl with ber . That girl bad been three or four times to my house before , and had taken wine with me . Instead of screaming out , as she says , she did nothing but laugh and giggle ; and if I had any such intention as she has stated I might have succeeded without

      any difficulty ; but I had no such intention . The girl Newberry was recalled . —Mr . Bingham . —Have you been three or four times to the defendant ' s house , and have you had wine with him as he has stated?—Mary Ann Newberry : I went with Berrington once before , but the defendant was not at home . I only saw the defendant onthe last occasion , and it was then he offered us wine , and I drank some . —Mr . Bingham : The Rev . Mr . Berrington is well known at this court , and , if I mistake not , has stood more than once at fhat bar . —The defendant said his knowledge of Berrington and his daughter was but slight . —Mr . Bingham ( addressing Mr . Chapman ) : Have you reason to think the girl Berrington was in the habit of taking other girls to the defendant ' s house ?—Mr . Chapman : I cannot say for certain . —Defendant : I am a highly respectable man , —Mr . Bingham ( to Mr . Chapman ) : If you think there is no chance of any further charges of this sort airainst the defendant—that of inveigling or inducing girls

      from your institution to come to his house . I am of opinion this oase ought to be sent to the sessions ; but , if you insist ¦ upon it , I am ready to dispose of it here . But , if you have any notion that other girls have been taken to the defendant ' s house , I think it ought to go to the quarter sessions . —Mr . Chapman : I cannot say there have not been other girls taken there . I understand Berrington stated to the matron that tbe defendant induced her to take other girls to his house . —Defendant : I deny that . The girl Newberry has been at my house three or four times . She came there with a felonious intent , and that I might do what I pleased with her . I certainly kissed her , and unpinned her shawl , but that was all , There were persons in the house at tiie time , who must have heard her screams , if she had made any noise . But I was taken in the street quite unprepared , and brought to this court . —Tho defendant was ultimately ordered to enter into his own recognisances in £ 200 to appear the next day .

      At the Marylebone Police Court , Mary James was placed at the-bar for final examination on a charge of robbery and fraud to a considerable extent , —The prisoner , who had nothing to say , was fully committed for trial upon several charges brought against her .

      AN ARTFUL DODGE .-CAUTION TO THE BENEVOLENT . At the Lambeth Police Court on Tuesday an artful attempt was made to impose on Mr , Elliott , and diminish the funds in the poor box , by a female who had represented herself as the wife of one of the victims of the engineers ' strike . —The applicant , who gave her namo Jane Carpenter , and who enacted her part to the utmost , perfection , represented that her husband , at the time of the , engineers ' strike had been in the employment of Messrs Maudslay and Field , and turning out with the other men had brought ruin and destruction on himself and family , and the object of her application , she said , was to obtain such assistance from the poov-box as would enable her to proceed to the residence of her friends at Portsmouth , to whom she had previously sent her three children . While she . was making her application she shed abundance of

      tears ,, and deplored tho folly , as she called it , of her husband and others like him allowing themselves tohe dictated to by the Society , to the total destruction of their homes ahd familiesj'in so affecting a manner as to enlist the sympathy of all ; present , , aiffl the magistrate considering tho case one of great distress , said he should grant her request provided he found her statement to be true . —It was fortunate that bis worship took this wise precaution , for Lopkyer , the officer instructed to make inquiries , reported to Mr . Elliott that no such person as Carpenter had been employed at Messrs . Maudslay ' s nov was the applicant known at either of tho places she had given her address , and he ( Lpckyer ) had no doubt whatever that she was a gross impoater . —That the offlcer . was correct in his conjecture there could be no doubt , as the applicant , who promised to be in attendance tho next day forenoon , never made her appearance .

At the Clerken well Police Court , on Wednesday , Thomas Stone alias Stanley , alias Hamilton , alias MvivtoH , alias Whitmore , < fcc , was placed at the bar for final examination , charged , at the instance of the Mendicity Society , with having obtained various sums of money from Mr .

" Ifc stated that" T . 'C . M . " was the daughter of a deceased merchant , who , about two years ago , died in a railway carriage . Sbe was then in good circumstances , but had been reduced to tho greatest distress , and the smallest donation would be thankfull y received . A letter , ( fee , was to be directed to Miss T . C . -M ., post-office , Ran ' dolph-street , Camden-town . Witness sympathised with

      the writer , and addressed a letter enclosing half of a £ 5 note , requesting particulars , on which he received an answer which induced him to forward her the other half of tho note .. The letter was signed " Frances Morton , " and he was then requested to direct his answer to No . 27 , Cromcv-street , Brunswick-square . He subsequently received letters from the same person , requesting an interview , and representing that she wished to put her child out to nurse , as she had received the offer of an engagement as teacher in a gentleman ' s family , at St . John > ivood , and that £ 2 or £ 3 would enable her to manage comfortably . Witness advanced in all £ 10 , -Mr . Tyrwhitt fully committed him to take his trial .
