      and could forget SELF when he is writmg . There tos a time when vx too should have been ready to exclaim , "Verily , welrreinjfrange times ? but , after tfte llWV »" ofj > artie 5 "in the Reformer itself we cannot be tnrprised at anything . There never existed on this farib two men who had formed so mean and so tow an r rin » on of each other , as the two " we * s" of the " centre of the three kingdomsf opiuions which ( hey both stuT faftrtai » , if-there'be troth or faith in man . And when -we have seen tt « e two raite la a concern "which does SOT pes ? we cannot be surprised at "friend" Watkins coming in for it most confoundedly , from him ¦ Bho ought to have been the last to have said a word against one who has been so unscrupulous in serving his purpose . The castigation , however , has been adminisTered ; and we trust " friend " Watkins feels easy

      under it ! It has been administered on theassumption , jai he is the author of the letter in Boyd ' s News paper ofthe Uth inst , taMng " THE Reformer" most severely to task for Ms present " notions" on Land and Currency ; an extract from which letter was quoted by Mr . O'Connor in his letter of last week . Xow , we believe jj , at" THE Reformer ' s '' assmnptionis not correct . We incline to flunk that the assumption of Mr . O'Connor , that James Hill is the author of that article , is far likelier to be true . The letter itself bears internal evidence of this . It is , as a whole , a " puff" for the scheme of ' * ' assurance ' -which Mr . Hill hopes to " get his bread" by . It , moreover , betokens " reasoning powers" and "knowledge" on the questions of Land and Currency , both of which " THE Rtformcr " denies to Mr . Watkins . Of course we do not know who is the

      author : perhaps Mr . O'Brien does . At all events , he point-blank says it is "friend" Watkins . But even if it should turn out not to he so , the " portrait" will s-i ] l remain . There it is for Air . Watldns to look at , drawn for him by his "friend" " J . B . 0 » B . " He now knows fhe estimate formed of Ms integrity and powers , by one he has done so much to serve ! He now knows that" THE Reformer" thinks Mm capable of selling Mw-«?/ fob filthy hike—though he also thinks that the party buying him have but a sorry purchase ; for "his knowledge is terj limited , " and "his reasoning powers very defective V By-the-bye , could not our " profound genius " retort back on " THE Reformer , '' and bid him "forget SELF when he is writing V We expect this

      at the least : and a "fancy sketch" of the portrait painter into the bargain . It wonld be hard work for one whohad urach less of sat in Ms composition than Mr . Watkins has , to stand as much as he has got from a "friend , "' without retort ; and it would be cruel indeed not to let the readers of the Star have a laugh vA this pretty quarrel ofthe " pan" and the " kettle . " The Whig-hade Widow , Mrs . Ellis , gratefully acknowledges the receipt of 5 s . from Bilston , £ 1 from Rochdale , and £ 1 12 s . Cd . from Preston . She informs her kind friends that Post-office orders remitted to her should be made payable at the Burslem Post-office ; her address IS— "Bleak-hill , Cobridge , near Burslem , Staffordshire . "

      j . Macthehsoh , Abeedeen . —The account of the Aberdeen meeting which appears elsewhere , was in type when his favour came to hand . We thank Mm for Ms kindness is sending , and are glad that thebrave men of Aberdeen have set an example to the rest of their brethren in Scotland , which it would he well for themselves to follow . Respecting the interest taken in the Aberdeen meeting , Mr . Macpherson says : — " The rain which had been felling at intervals during the day began again shortly after the opening of the meeting , and continued to fell heavily till its close , notwithstanding which about three thousand maintained their position for about two hours , besides ah who came and went during the proceedings . The new bill appears to he regarded with , horror and disgust by all parties in the town . "

      W . Haiw & bd , Lower sjtbeatbah . —At the usual time , the Poor Man ' s Companion will be published . On re flection , we concluded that it would not be well to break in on the usual form of publication . y /_ jl . jjo-ks , Leigh . —His fiivour was received , and shall have Attention as soon as we can . PcBUCDS , Lixlithgow . —Any opinion we could give on the subject he names would not be worth depending on . We confess we do not know enough of the law of Scotland , in relation to the heritors , the provost the town council , and the church , to enable us to say what power they have , either conjointly or separately , over the bunding in the churchyard . It appears to us to be unreasonable that any or all of them shonldhavethepower to demolish or remoreit , contrary to the will « f the

      inhabitants : but then we too often find that what is most reasonable is directly opposed to law . Our friends should take the opinion and advice of some "lawyerfriend , " who knows all about the "ins and outs" of Scottish law and custom in relation to the management of public affairs . Will our correspondent be pleased to say what we are to do with the amount" he forwarded tons ! K . Hdstswomh , Macclesfield . —Mr . Hobson duly received this gentleman ' s communication , dated April 24 th , and has pat iently waited for the performance of the promise contained in it . He now thinks it time to remind all concerned , that their engagements ought to have heenkept : ana that he expects to hearfrom them forthwith . 5 khak » Mabsbes , Pksios , —His iavonr next week .

      Horrible Murder of a Magistrate . —The following versions of a most atrocious murder of a magistrate of Cavan are published in the Evening Moil . It is to be observed that , in consequence ot inherited property , to which the family nameattached , the unfortunate gentleman , the victim of tiie conspiracy which now rages in the north , was indifferently named Booth or Bel ) , orsometiraescalled both . This is necessary to account for the difference of names in the several accounts : — " Cavan , Sunday , June 22 , seven o ' clock , p . m . —Although you will likely hear it through other sources , yet , lest you should not , I do not wish to allow thepostto go out without informing you of a barbarous murder that was committed this day , about half-past two o'clock , and within four

      miles of this town . Mr . Booth Bell , a magistrate of this county , was the victim . He was returning from church in his gig , with two of his children beside him , when the ruffian fired at him , and then made his escape . All here are in asad state of excitement . Where it will end it is hard to say ; no one is safe . Mr . Bell was shot dead on the spot . "— "Cat / an , June 22 . —A very horrible outrage occurred this day . Mr . George Booth , on his return fromKilmore Church , with his two young sons , in his gig , was shot . This was done in a very public place , at Mr . Bell ' s gate—I mean a back gate a few perches above the front gate , and on the same side , nearerto Bingfield . He got the shot through the head , and diedina very few minutes . One ofthe boys fell out ofthe gig , by which his thigh

      was broken , You see what a state ot things tins country is brought to by the' Molly Maguires ! ' This is the most daring occurrence that has taken place in this country , or any other—done in such a public place , and at such an hour—about two o ' clock . It appears there was onlv one concerned in the affair . Hegotoffin the direction of Hermitage , and on by Castlecosby . The police force are out . I fear there is no chance ofcatching the villain . I cannot conceive the cause of Mr . Booth being shot , except that he may have done some act as a magistrate against some of these * Molly men , ' aa they are called . This affair has caused the greatest alarm in this town . I am just told that Mr . Booth ' s child is not likely to survive . " —The following is from a gentleman who

      arrived at the spot shortly after the fatal occurrence : — " Cavan , June 22 . —I have just returned , from the village of Crossdoney , in the vicinity of which a most barbarous murder was committed this day . At a quarter past two o ' clock , Mr . George F . Bell Booth , of Drumcarbin , was returning from Kilmore church , in his gig , with two of his children , one five , and the other six years old ; his eldest son , a boy of about eleven rodebehindhimonaponey . Whenhe arrived at * the Rooks , ' the residence of the sub-sheriff , Mr . William Bell , he was met by a man , who walked coolly and deliberately along the road , smoking a long pipe . The villain walked up to Mr . Booth , presenting ahorse pistol It is thought Mr . Booth stooped Ms head , and that , on his doing so , the murderer fired . The ball entered the upper part of

      the forehead , and lodged within the skull ; neleii instantly from his gig—he was dead . The horse , frightened by the report of the shot , ran away , throwing the two children on the road—one of them had his arm broken in the fall , or by the wheel of the gig passing over it . The body of the murdered gentleman lies in the house of the sub-sheriff , where it will remain until an inquest is held upon it . Mrs . Bell , of' the Rooks , ' whose carriage had just broken down , passed the murderer on foot a few seconds before hefired . On hearing the report , she turned round , and saw the body fall from the gig . There is as yet no trace of the murderer , who crossed into the fields and escaped . The country about is thickly planted with hedges and hedge-rows , a circumstance favourable to the concealment of the assassin . "

      Affahixg CiRcoMsrASCE . — A coroner ' s inquest was held on Monday last on the body of William Wallace , who was shot by his master , Mr . John Hamilton , under the following circumstances .- —The deceased was a servant of Mr . John Hamilton ( of Drumads . near Coagh , a most respectable and influential farmer ) for upwards of twenty years , and his masterandheleft Coaghfair together on the 13 th . When they had returned home , Mr . Hamilton took down a blunderbuss , to which was attached a spring baronet , and proceeded to the fields . The servant

      persuaded him to return it , and took it into his own hand , but , on putting it down to adjust the harness on a horse close by , it was seized by lu ' s master , who discharged it at him . He survived only a few hours . He then espied another man , ofthenameofM'lieon , and cried out , " You saw me , and as you may betray me , I'll kill you too , " stabbing the man at the same time , who now lies in a dangerous state . A sudden outbreak of insanity can only account for this . Mr . Hamilton has been sent to Omagh gaol . Seldom has our quiet part of the north had a tale ofso awful a nature to tell . —Belfast Neivs-Lctter .

      The Late Mysterious Death of a Mother and Child at Hampstbab . —On Wednesday forenoon Mr .

It will be remembered that at the last sitting of the jury , Mi * . Lord , the surgeon , who had opened the body , and Professors Taylor and Johnson , who Lid analysed the

      contents of the stomach , distinctly proved that deceased had died from the effects of a poisonous leaf called savin , and that the inquiry was adjourned for the production ofthe alleged father of the child , Mr . Gains , who was n ow in attendance , accompanied by his solicitor . The jurv returned a verdict , " Tliat on the loth of Mav , Caroline Hillman died from the mortal effects of a certain poison called' savin , ' but whether taken for the purpose of destroying life or procuring premature labour , there was no evidence to show . That the infant male child of Caroline Hillman died a natural death . "

      Bxmr op Jowra Somes , Es q * M ; P . ~ Mr . Somes , the member for Dartmouth , expired on Wednesday at his residence , Newgrove , Mile- ** ' irW a very brief illqeas , He was fte-ssdntect ofhls own fortune ; zaa . succeeded in accumulating very considerable wealth . His principal pursuit was that of a shipbuilder , bat he took a very active part in the affairs ofthe New Zealand Company , being governor of that corporation ; it was not , however , till within the last year that he aspired to a seat in Parliament . When Sir John Seale died he offered himself to the

      constituency of Dartmouth , where he was opposed by Mr . Moffat , the numbers being—for Mr . Somes , 125 ; for Mr . Moffat , 118 . Mr . Moffat petitioned , on the ground of his opponent being a contractor , but on investigation by a Parliamentary committee , it appeared that the contracts referred to by the petitioner had been for some time previously in the hands of Mr . Somes ' s partner , and he was therefore seated by the decision of the committee . Mr . Somes occasionally spoke in the House of Commons , but not very frequently , nor in any manner to attract particular attention .

      Frightful Steam-boat Accident . —On Thursday afternoon , between two and three o ' clock , a fearful accident occurred on board the Eclipse , Chelsea steam-boat , to a young man named Fenn . The boat was on her way between Chelsea and London , and whilst off Lambeth the man tried to mount the paddle box , by stepping on . theskylight immediately over the engine . The motion of the boat overbalanced him , and he fell in upon the piston , which was ascending at the time ; the consequence was that it jammed him several times against the beam above before it could be stopped . When extricated , it was found that his thighs were completely smashed , and that he had received other injuries , which preclude any chance of recovery . The boat * instantly put him ashore at Chandler ' s boat-house , Millbank , from whence he was conveyed to the hospital .

      The Great Western Railway , Friday Evening . — As the express train to Paddington , consisting of four passengers' carriages and a luggage van , had nearly reached Salt-hill , the engine-driver observed that the luggage van was off the rail . He immediately slackened the speed , and stepped the train before it had proceeded a quarter of a mile farther , without causing the slightest alarm to the passengers . The driver then proceeded with the engine to Slough , and returned with the necessary assistance to replace the van , which was done in half an hour , and the train proceeded to town . Fortunately the van was in the rear of the carriages , or the accident might have proved of serious consequence . The passengers during the delay did not leave the carriages .

      *' ¦ ¦ ¦ MANSION HOUSE . i Satobdat . —Tub Late Gas Explosion is Tetterlake . —William Leonard and John O'Brien were placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor , they having been previously remanded until such time as Mrs . Recng , who was much injured by the explosion , and had been iu the London Hospital , was enabled to attend and prosecute . —Mrs Ellen Reeng , who now appeared with both hands bandaged up , and was evidently in a weak state , deposed , that on tiie 31 st of last month the prisoners at the bar came to her house , the Black Horse , Fetter-lane , accompanied by a tall female , with whom she was not acquainted , and wished to go into the parlour ; when she ( witness ) said , "Mr . O'Brien , I do not

      allow females in the parlour . " The female then went into the yard . Mr . O'Brien wished her to light the gas . He then , accompanied by Leonard and the female , came to the bar , and Leonard asked for a pot of sixpenny ale , with which she supplied him , and they went into the taproom , where O'Brien very much annoyed the Children , She desired him to desist , when he said " they will be more annoyed and persecuted before they go to bed , and you will feel persecution ' too" Her servant then came down stairs , and she complained to her of the smell of gas , and desired her to open the parlour windows . She afterwards found them open—she was quite sure the gas-pipe was quite safe only one hour before this time ( eight o'clock ) , and no one , with the exception of the prisoners at the bar . had been in the room . When she went

      into the room to light the gas , shortly after , it exploded , and she made her escape by the window , and was immediately conveyed to the London Hospital . — Timothy Reeng , abe-y ( son ofthe landlady ) , corroborated the evidence given by his mother . —John Crawley also corroborated the previous evidence , and stated that he assisted in extinguishing the fire caused by the explosion . —Mary Murphy , servant to Mrs . Reeng , and D , Rourke , a lodger in the house , confirmed the evidence ofthe principal witness . —Leonard admitted being at the house , in O'Brien ' s company , on the night in question , but was quite innocent of the offence charged . —O'Brien said he was also there on the occasion ; he had been there many times previously ; he had likewise been there since the

      accident , before his arrest , and , as Mrs . Reeng admitted , he had always been on good terms with her . As to what he was charged with saying to the children , he assured lus lordship he was not capable of it ; he had six little children of his own , and he had no motive to induce him to do what he was charged with , and which he was quite innocent of . —His lordship said he had formed a veiy strong opinion of the case . He had searched the several Acts of Parliament , and could not find a clause strong enough to meet his view of the case ; he should , therefore , commit them to take their trial at the Central Criminal Court for an aggravated assault . —Upon application by O'Brien , his lordship said he would take bail , themselves in £ 100 each , and two sureties in £ 50 each . They were then removed in custody .

      Monday . —Chaeoe of Forgery . —Bran Evans , a man who has been employed between three and four years in houses of extensive trade in London , as porter or messenger , was brought before the Lord Mayor , in the custody of John Forrester , the officer , charged with having presented for payment , at the banking-house of Messrs . Jones Loyd and Co ., a forged cheque for the sum of £ 730 , on Saturday last . —Mr . John Drake , cashier to Messrs . Jones Loyd and Co ., banker ; , stated that on Saturday last a cheque for £ 780 was presented at the counter , at about four o ' clock , by the prisoner . The witness here produced the cheque , which was made payable to Holt and Son , and purported to be signed by " Reid , Irving , and Co . " He saw by the character of the writing that it was a forgery , and he went round the counter and took

      the prisoner and the cheque info the room of one of the partners . —Sir John Rae Reid , Bart ., stated that he was a partner in the house of Reid , Irving , and Co . The signature to the cheque produced bore some resemblance to witness ' s signature # f the firm ; but it was not a genuine signature . He considered it to be decidedly a forgery ; and it did notresemble the signature of any of the partners in any respect . He did not know anything of the prisoner , and had not authorised the prisoner to take any cheque to tho house of Jones Loyd and Co . —John Forrester said he took the prisoner into custody at the banking-house of Jones Loyd and Co . The prisoner stated that a man gave him the cheque in Pope ' s Head-alley with directions to get the money , and take it to the first door in the Cnstom . house . Witness accompanied the

      prisoner to the Custom-house , and used every effort to find the person described ; searched about for twentyminutes , aud went into a public-house to watch the neighbourhood . The prisoner then said that in consequence of an advertisement in the newspapers some person called upon him at No . 6 , Ivy-lane , to which address he had referred in the advertisement for a situation as a messenger , and after some conversation sent him to the Bank of England to procure change for ten sovereigns ; that he had brought back the silver to the person who had so cmployed him , and then tliat person delivered to him the cheque , with directions to take it to the second door at tiie Custom-house . —In his defence the prisoner said , I advertised for the place of a messenger in the newspapers , and this person called at my landlady ' s on Saturday , and my landlady , Mrs . Rces , to whom I gave the reference , at No . 0 , Ivy-lane , asked him whether he came on account of the advertisement ? He replied that he did , and I was called down to him . He asked me what wages I expected ,

      and I said thirty-two shillings per week , and he said that was too much , and offered mc thirty shiUings . We , however , came to an agreement thatl should have £ 80 a year , and I was to meet him in Pope's Head-alley , and he was to go after my character . And then he said , " I must go and put on a clean coat , as his master liked to see a person look respectable . " I went accordingly to Pope ' s Headalley , and I saw him thcre . and he said he had seen the head clerk at Messrs . Shoolbred and Cook ' s , and I should go to the Bank of England . So he gave mc an old bag to put ten sovereigns in , and get silver for it . When I returned with the silver he was waiting in the alley , and he said he should want me to assist him a good deal that day , and asked me whether I knew the banking-house of Jones Loyd , when I said no ; he said it was in Lothbury , near the Bank , and that I must take a cheque there and bring the amount to him at the second door of the Customhouse . I said , "What name , sir ? " And he said the name is there on the cheque ; they will know it directly you present it . The prisoner was then remanded .

      BOW STREET , Friday . — Extensive Robbery at BucKinghjm Palace . —John Taylor , a cabinet maker , residing at 7 , Gilhngham-street , Vauxhall-road , was brought before Mr . Hal ) , charged with stealing a quantity of plate , and other valuable property , from Buckingham Palace . Mr . James Edward Seymour , 38 , Long-acre , being sworn , said , on Friday evening , the 13 th instant , between six and seven o ' clock , the prisoner entered my shop , for the purpose of selling a quantity of broken-up silver . Seeing that the articles were of a superior descri ption , I told him I could not come to any understanding with him unless he first gave me his name and address , which he did , and havinghanded it to my foreman , he gave it , as I understoood ,

      to a policeman who was standing outside the door . Having demanded £ 8 for the silver , 1 gave him £ 5 10 s ., as he said he required some money to go into the country , and my I . O . U . for the remainder . He then went away . I have purchased silver in the same way from the prisoner on former occasions , the first of which was about six weeks back , consisting of about thirty ounces , at 4 s , 4 d . per ounce , when I thoug ht it unnecessary to ask him any questions , as his appearance was respectable . The silver had since been melted down , and appeared to be part of a silver frame , upon which a silver telescope had been mounted . The second lot consisted of the parts of a silver fi gure , which I have since burned down , and which 1 purchased about a week after . It was about thirty ounces in weight , and I remarked at

      the tan ^ thatit appeared tohervery valuable property . — George Hurs \ 76 F divisiv ^/ isiS he was . acting gaoler at the station-house , when the prisoner requested id s « nd » message to his wife , and having givcii him a pencil and paper for the purpose , he wrote the following note : — " Dear Wife , —I hope you wUl make yourself happy as you can . Be shure you take this note to Mr . Watson , and be particular in saying those words at the office when you are asked . I shall state a forene gentleman gave it to us about two yeers ago , and boded and loged with us at thirty shillins per week , and he told us he must be off to france , as he ad got some verry particular business , and he would leave some old silver which he had by him , and ifhedidnot return in three months he should not come back to England and

      we might consider it our own property . Be shure and here in mind he could not give any riference as we had been emty some time of any lodgers , and he was the only one we ad at the time he was lodging at our house , and we ad no servant during that time , and be shure and say I asked if we got into trouble about selling it ; say I give the name as Mr .

' Witness showed the note to the inspector on duty , and he kept it in his possession ever since . "—Mr . Henry Saunders , Inspector of Royal Palaces under the Lord Chamberlain ,

      said the prisoner had been employed as cabinet-maker for upwards of seven years in Buckingham Palace until the month Of March of last year ; but he was occasionally engaged since , and on the second week in April he was again taktu for a continuance until he was given in in charge . The different pieces of silver produced were the property of her Majesty , and consisted of part of a silver equestrian statue , with two moveable heads , one representing in armour Louis XIII ., and the other Marshal Saxe , being eleven and a half inches in hei ght . They were taken from the enclosed book-cases in the lower library in Buckingham Palace . I had not missed them before I saw them in the possession of the police , and I value them at forty guineas . I also identify the vase , which is turquoise blue , ground reeded spirally , and painted in flowers , ormolu stand , and ram-head handles , as being the property of her Majesty , and value £ 10 . It stood in an empty book-case in a closet adjoining the library from which the statue was taken . It was safe about twelve

      months ago , and I never missed it till I heard it was m the possession of the authorities at Somerset-house . In consequence ofthe information I received from Mr , Seymour , I made a further search among the ornaments in the book-cases , and missed a silver microscope , wliieh I believe was safe about twelve months back , value £ 200 , the entire of which was taken away , and the fellow of which 1 now produce . They both appear to have been manufactured about eighty years ago . The prisoner was employed in all parts of the palace , and had frequent opportunity of entering the rooms where the property was deposited , which were left open during her Majesty ' s residence at the palace . The several witnesses were then bound over in the sum of £ 100 to give evidence , and the prisoner was removed .

      Saturday . —Robbery by a Prostitute . —Sarah Rose , a good looking young woman , was charged with the following robbery before Mr . , Iwyfora , On the previous evening , as the prosecutor , a young man of the name of John Williams , was going home , he met with the prisoner at the bottom of Ludgate Hill , and on her inviting him to go home with her he consented . They adjourned to a house in Newcastle-court . While preparing to retire to bed , he noticed the prisoner put something into her breast . His suspicions being excited , he examined his pockets , and in doing so he took ost his purse inadvertently , which contained £ 5 and some silver . The prisoner 110 SOOnei" saw it , than she darted at it and took possession of it . A struggle ensued for the recovery of

      the purse , and in the scuffle one of the windows go broken . This excited the attention of the police man on the beat , who came up to the place The prosecutor threw up the window and in formed the policeman of what had happened . The lat tcr then obtained admission , and came up to the roon door , demanding admittance , the door being locked The prisoner at first hesitated to admit him , but at las consented , having first placed the purse in the prosecu tor ' s hand . On its being examined two soveriegns am some silver were found missing . On her way to tli station she admitted having taken one sovereign out o the purse . The charge being established by the evidenc adduced , she was fully committed to take her trial at tli sessions . GUILDHALL . Tuesday . —Extensive Robberies . — Riehard Cooli ink manufacturer , of No . 22 , New-street , Cloth-fair , am John Harding , aservawt , in the employ of Messrs . Arnoli and Co ., 135 , Aldersgate-street , were brought up for re examination before Alderman Farncombe , charged , th < latter with robbing his employers , and the former witl receiving the goods thus obtained , knowing them to b stolen . From the evidence taken at the former examina tion it appeared that Cook had been about five years ii Messrs . Arnold's employ , but had since set up in busines for himself . ' Harding had also been in their employ fo

      the last fifteen years . Mr . Wontner appeared on behalf of the prosecutors , and Mr . Mellor for Cook . A number of witnesses were examined relative to ink being bought of Cook with Arnold ' s labels on , and also to other facts tending to prove the guilt of the parties . Mr . Mellor , on behalf of Cook , cross-examined the witnesses at some length , particularly the prisoner's shop-boy , who said , that on the principal witness ( James Deane ) being discharged from Cook ' s service , he declared that he would serve him out for it . Alderman Farntombe said he thought it necessary , for the sake of all the parties , that the case should be adjourned until Friday next .

      QUEEN SQUARE . Saturday . —Femaub Qoarrels . —Mary Ann Perry was this morning charged before Mr .

According to the statement of the complainant , the defendant was continually threatening to " do for her ; " and on the previous evening threatened that " she never would he quiet till she took away lier b—y life . " These threats induced the complainant

      to apply for a summons . —The defendant in reply , denied that she threatened the life of the other party , but admitted she had been angry with her , as she was in the habit of taunting her with having had a bastard child , and also vAth having improper connections with men . The complainant she represented to be a very bad character , who would swear anything ; and said also that she had been convicted of passing counterfeit coin . After some recrimination between the two , thestatement ofthe complainant being confirmed by a witness , Mr . Burrel ordered the defendant to find bail to keep the peace , — This not being forthcominA ' , she was removed in custody .

She had got intoxicated , and while in that state she began seizing hold of every gentleman that happened to pass her in a very rude and unbecoming manner , A mob having at last collected round her , the police interfered , and she was taken to the station . After a very severe reprimand from Mr . Burrel , she was committed for ten days to the House of Correction .

      Monday . —Plate Robbery , —Emma Wilmott and Sarah Vick , two yespcctable-looking young married women , were placed at the bar , the former charged with stealing a large quantity of silver plate from the residence of W . P . Jcrvis , Esq ., of No . 59 , Cadogan-place , and the latter with feloniously receiviug the property , —Ann Chamberiaine , housekeeper to Mr .

After availing herself of the opportunity thus presented , she took five table spoons , six dessert spoons , and a pair of asparagus tongs , which , on being apprehended , she acknowledged that she had pawned . Mr . Bond committed them for trial , but he woidd take Vick's husband's bail , if he were a respectable man , for her appearance .

      Tuesday , —Daring Robbery , —Frederick Farr . a man about 40 years of age , who was dressed as a waiter , was charged with stealing a lady ' s reticule , containing a handkerchief , some silver , and some papers of value , — From the evidence it appeared that about three o ' clock yesterday afternoon , a sudden shower came on , and Mrs . Bayley , of No . 9 , Park-terrace , King's-road , Chelsea , who was at the time walking through Chester-square , Pimlieo , retreated for shelter under the portico of an unfinished house . She had at that time her reticule hanging on her arm , containing her purse , handkerchief , and some securities ofthe value of £ 20 . The prisoner ran past her , and seized the bag . He was pursued by a young man named Briant and taken , after he had thrown the bag into a garden , whence it was recovered . He was committed .

The name and address were evidently fictitious . —Police-constable Chilman , C 75 , said , about three o ' clock that morning he saw the defendant enter a doorway in Bolton-row , and placing his back against one side of the door and his feet against the other , make an unsuccessful attempt to wrench oft * the knocker . The defendant then deliberately proceeded to

      Messrs . Storr and Mortimer ' s shop , in Bond-street , and there he repeated the same process , but with better effect , for he broke off the knocker , and pocketed it . Witness went up to him , and took him into custody . In the defendant ' s pocket was found a second knocker—obtained beyond all doubt in a similar way . —Mr . Hardwick : What do you say to breaking off these knockers 1—Defendant . O , it's all right . —Another witness came forward to claim one ofthe knockers found on the defendant . —Defendant : O , yes .

The affray attracted the notice of some other constables , and all three were eventually lodged in the station-house .

Bingham , charged upon his own confession with having attempted to murder his wife , bycutting her throat ; and also with having made an attempt at self-destruction . The prisoner , a young man of very decewt appearance , had been brought to tlfe court in a cab from the London Hospital , and seemed in such a state of exhaustion that he was allowed to be seated during the proceedings . The affair took place on the night of the 18 th inst ., in Bethnal Green-road . The prisoner , on being asked ifhehad any answer tomnke to the charge , saidin a faint voice , thathehadbeen prompted to the commission ofthe act by the exasperating conduct

      of his wife , who had repeatedly declared that she had received overtures from another man to abandon her home and two children . On the morning in question , while he was at work with a knife in his hand , she again expressed her determination to leave her home and family , and his feelings were in consequence wrought up to such a pitch of phrenzy , that he instantly seized her by the shoulders , and drew the knife across her throat . She struggled violently , and escaped out of the room , and he then made the attempt upon his own life , and staggering into the passage , fell down in a state of insensibility . Mr , Bingham said it was a very deplorable case , but it was his duty to remand the prisoner until that day week , by which time the fate ot his unfortunate wife would most probably be decided .

      SOUTHWARK . Saturday . —The Rival Roses . —William Figgins , a coachman , in the employment of a gentleman well known in the neighbourhood of the police-court , was brought up charged with an assault on a rival "John" , he having " smashed" the nose of the said rival in an affray in the Blue Boar public-house .

" The witnesses fuliy attested the fact , and master William having nothing to say in defence , " ' ccpting that he was wery much aggrawated , " was fined 10 s . and costs . The fine was immediately raised by the riends in court . LAMBETH '

      Saturday . — Jullien ' s Concert Monstre at the Zoological Gardens . —Two swellish-looking gentlemen with formidable mustachios , and who seemed to be foreigners , were charged this morning with being drunk and disorderly the previous evening , and while in that state endeavouring to force an entrance into the Surrey Zoological Gardens . Their unruly conduct called for the inter , ference of the police , and they were , after some resistance , captured , and taken into custody . The charge being fully proved , they expressed sorrow for what they had done , laying all the blame to the drink , and hoped the magistrate would pass lightly over what they had done . Mr , Norton fined them each a sovereign , which was immediately paid , and they were liberated .

      MABYLEBONB . SATUKBAT . —MA 0 BMH IN Customs . —Two young men , Who gave their names as Jefferson and Saunders , were this morning charged with drunken and disorderly conduct in the New-road , near to the Yorkshire Stingo , during the previous evening . The two unfortunate wights presented a very laughable picture , as their habiliments were of a very laughable and ludicrous combination of the ancient and modern . Jefferson , who is a tall gaunt youth , was dressed up as the "Thane of Cawdor , " being equipped in a tawdry theatrical dress , intended to represent the costume of "Scotland ' s King , " over which he wore a thread-bare great coat , evidently intended for a much larger person . In addition , he sported a pair of WeBington boots . The other was a

      small , sentimental youth , dressed up to represent the " Ghost of Banquo . " He sported aprodigiouj £ pair of burnt cork whiskers , and exhibited a large daub of red paint on his neck in the neighbourhood of . the jugular vein , intended to represent the murderous gash with which he appalled the great usurper in the banquet scene . The dress was covered partially by a dress-coat , in which several large rents were apparent , derived from " the ups and downs" the party had played in the street . The charge against them was , having been found rolling on the pavement , and shouting at the pitch of their voices the favour , ite passages of the immortal bard . The prisoner admitted having been drunk , and stated they had been at a private theatrical rehearsal , where they had partaken rather freely . Thoy we ' re severally fined 10 s ., or in default of payment , fourteen days' imprisonment .

      THAMES . Wednesday . —Ruffianly Assault . —JamesMahoney , a ruffianly but powerful-looking young fellow , was charged with a desperate assault , in cold blood , on police-constable 328 K , who , whilst giving his evidence , seemed to be suffering severely from the injuries which he had sustained . It appeared that the prisoner , having collected a mob of boys about him by his extraordinary behaviour , took it into his head to be displeased , and attacked a man , who stopped to look on , in a most unexpected and cowardly manner , kicking and cuffing him whilst on the ground . A poor coal-whipper who was going by , indignant at seeing such foul play , went up to interfere , but the prisoner , anticipating his purpose , tripped him up with great violence , and he fell heavily against the kerb-stone , whereby

      his eye was severely injured . A gentleman named Per . kins , who happened to pass at the time in company with Mr . Glazin , proprietor of the Queen ' s Head , Cambridgeroad , called the constable ' s attention to the fellow's violence . The officer went across , and touching the prisoner on the shoulder used a few words of remonstrance , upon which the latter drew back a couple of paces , and stooping his head like a ram about to but , sprang forward and pitched right into his stomach , levelling him as if by a shot , and at the same time catching him tightly round the loins fell with his full weight upon him , When down he changed his hold , and caught the officer by the throat , and compressed it until he became quite black in the face . Mr . Perkins , and his friend Mr . Glazin , apprehensive of fatal consequences , hastened to the rescue of the officer , and endeavoured to disentwinc the prisoner ' s fingers from his throat , which they found to be a task of no little difficulty , as they seemed to have the tenacity of a vice . It ultimately took no less than six men to rescue the

      constable from his perilous position and secure the prisoner . The prisoner , in his defence , said that he had had a drop to drink , and as the boys were hooting him he got into a gateway to avoid them . The constable came up and told him to go on , but as he did not go on quick enough , the officer made a " wonderful blow" at him , and after that he ( prisoner ) did not remember anything more about it . — Mr . Broderip told the prisoner that he must not be surprised to find in this country a natural indignation excited against brutal and cowardly conduct . The poor coalwhipper , whom he had so severely injured , though but a labouring man , with the prompt instinct which always actuates an Englishman under such circumstances , interfered to prevent a savage attack upon a fallen man , and was grossly maltreated for his humanity . For this offence the prisoner should pay the fullest penalty , namely , £ 5 , or suffer two months' imprisonment ; and for the assault on the constable , he should be sent to the House of Correction for one calendar moivth .

      CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT . Mosday , June 23 . —Custom House Frauds . —Robt . Maclean , a Custom-house agent , surrendered iu discharge of his bail , to take his trial on an indictment charging him with fraud , preferred against him by the Commissioners of Customs ., The trial terminated in the acquittal of the defendant . Cuin . vG ami Wou-ywso . —James Quantock , aged 43 , cab driver , was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding James Dowling , -with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had been charged by the prosecutor ( a private -watchman ) with stealing a nurse from a drunken man , whom the prosecutor was

      conducting home , which had caused great ill feeling on the part of the prisoner , who had been discharged from Bow-street police court for want of sufficient evidence , since which time he had been heard to utter violent threats against the prosecutor . In reference ^© the present indictment , it appeared that about six o ' clock on the morning ofthe 19 th of May last the prisoner entered the bar of the Red Lion public-house in company with a female , and communicated to hex * the charge which five months before had been preferred against him by the prosecutor , and again vowed that he " would slip his wind . " During these threats the prosecutor entered the public-house as he was leaving his beat . The prisoner at once sprung upon him , and seizing him by the neckerchief , . threw him , n the ground , and
