      Paciory "Workers' Strike. --Iee-Isc Of D...

      PACIORY "WORKERS' STRIKE . --iEE-ISC OF DELEGATES . . . . . . . On Thursday evening , 19 th inst ., a pubhc meeting of delegates from trades , shops , and factories in Glasgow and the "West of Scotland , was held in the Democratic Hall , -fclson-street , here , for the purpose of taking farther steps for protecting the ¦ workers of Messrs . Simpson , Bridgeton , from the invasion of their privileges under the Ten Hours Bill . There were upwards of 150 delegates present , and the proceedings were condusted with the utmost unanimity .

      3 _ r . Joh . v E _ E-C __ n having been called to the chair , briefly explained the object of tho meeting , after which Mr . Duncan Livingstone rose , and reported that a deputation from the factory workers ofthe West of Scotland had , since last meeting , waited upon Mr . Simpson , with the view of bringing about a friendly State of matters between the _ opposing parties , bnt that gentleman declined to hold anv conversation with them on the subject . Mr Dcvcax SnEKnixGios then addressed the xoSl-T Ate . reading an article which appeared in the Wvoilnew spaper in £ ™ nr « J ° X . lovers and a » ainst the workers , he submitted the £ Eng letter as the rep ly ofthe men who struck , and intimated that it contained a statement ot the leading facts of the case : — " TO THE _ MTO _ OF THE MAIL .

      " Sir , —We noticed in your paper of Tuesoay , the 10 th inst ., an article in vindication of the Messrs . Simpsons ^ of Bridgeton , in relation to the strike of the self-acting mule workers , concerning their hours of work . You state that the circumstances of the case were not correctly stated at the meeting of the trades . We beg to say that the version you have g iven of the affair was laid before us ; but the meeting seemed to take a different view of it than that you have taken . It was never stated that they intended to violate the present act , but it is certainly an evasion of the very worst kind , to say the least of it , to discharge from their employment all the females and young persons now engaged at the

      works , for the purpose of enabling them to continue those males abore the age of eighteen , whatever hours they may think proper . But , Sir , there is B 06 a WOrd in your article of discharging the females and young persons now employed . It is insinuated , and would be . considered by those ignorant ofthe facts , that those females and young persons were not to be discharged , bat only to be displaced at sis in the evening , to make way for those whom the law allows to work longer than ten hours and a half per day ; but the fact is , the whole of the females and young persons were to be turned off , in order that they mig ht be above the law , now observed by all the respectable millowners in the country .

      " Also you state that the hours of adult labour in this country have always been left fur personal arrangement . Sow , Sir , this is the thing contended for by the male adults in their employment . Their -wish was to work the same hours as are now wrought in all other factories in Scotland , and no more ; and they wished to be parties in making the bargain , which was to determine the hours they were to ¦ work ; but they were distinctly told that if they refused to comply with their arrangement , that there was no more employment for them ; SO that you will see that the workers were just contending for the very princip les for which you contend , namely , that of having a voice in the making of a "bargain which was so materially to affect their comfort . You would have us believe that it would only be in consequence of a pressure of orders , that would induce them to work this system . Bnt , Sir ,

      are the Messrs . Simpsons not m the same position with other honourable and fair-trading merchants ? And as yet we hear of no preparation being made to _ neet this anticipated pressure of-orders ; and it is wot necessary , neither is it for the benefit of the employer or the employed , that long hours be resorted to for the purpose of meeting a pressure of orders . But the Messrs . Simpsons' workers having had some knowledge of their former system of working , and of the little care they had for the comfort of those employed under them , they were afraid to trust themselves under such a system , now when they had a chance of being freed from it . "Sow , Sir , " if you wish to be fully informed on this matter , the committee will be happy to give you all the information in their power . —We are , sir , your obedient servants , 11 The Men who Stbuck , "

      Such , said Mr . Sherrington , was the men s reply , and it clearly showed that while the Messrs . Simpson professed to comply with the terms of the Factory Act , they , in reality , took the most effectual means for evading its provisions . It was perfectly clear to him that the Messrs . Simpson were determined to be bound to no stated hours , and that they were just taking such steps , by which , if not checked in time , the other mill-owners of Glasgow might set the law of the land at defiance .

      Under these circumstance ? , he urged upon the delegates present the necessity and importance of using then-utmost efforts to support those who had been thrown out of employment by the Messrs . Simpson , as it was only by doing so they could prevent the factory Act from being completely destroyed , and ail their prist labours for its achievement rendered worthless and in vain . Mr . Duncan Sherrington concluded by moving the adoption of the following resolutions , which were seconded and carried by acclamation : —

      "That in the opinion of this meeting the system adopted by Messrs . Simpson , of Bridgeton , in endeavouring to evade the Act of Parliament for restricting the hours of labour for females and young persons in the factories of Great Britain deserves the condemnation of every factory worker in Scotland , as well as the public generally . ' ' " That we , the factory workers of the West of Scotland , in delegate meeting assembled , agree to enter into a subscription to support those persons who have left their employment in consequence of being compelled to work twelve hours per day , while every other male adult in Scotland is receiving the full benefit of the Act intended for the protection of females and young persons . "

      It was nest resolved that a sum of not less than One penny per fortnight be paid by every factory worker in the city and neighbourhood , to support the hands of the Messrs . Simpson ; that the above resolutions be printed and circulated , and that the delegates meet once a week to report progress and support the strike . A deputation was then appointed to meet with the operative cotton-spinners of the "West of Scotland in Paisley on Saturday last , and also the powerloom tenants , with the view of raisin ? funds .

      A vote of thanks was tendered to the Chairman , which terminated the proceedings . Pow _ R > L . o _ i Testers . —A meeting of the powerloom tenters of Glasgow and neighbourhood was held on Friday week in Charlotte-lane , Gallowgate . Mr . Robert Langmuir in the chair . After transacting their ordinary business , the tenters received a deputation from the factory delegates of the West of Seot ' and , in reference to the strike now going on in Bridgeton , when it was moved , seconded , and unanimously resolved to raise the necessary funds to enable the workers of Messrs . Simpson to resist the inroad attempted to be made by their employers on the provisions of the Ten Hours Bill .

      Jenn Y Ltnd In America. —A Private Lette...

      Jenn y Ltnd in America . —A private letter from New York , speaking of the Jenny Lind furor , says , — " The Lind , you will see , has arrived safely . Tickets for her opening concert sold very high ; the first for 223 dollars ( about £ 45 sterling ) , but the second fetched twenty-five dollars only ( £ 5 sterling ) . It seems to be considered that Barnum got a personal friend to ran up the price atthe outset , to induce the public to follow , but at snch prices few ofthe verdant school were to be found . The folk here are decidedly zoad after Jenny . A friend told me he saw a number of men and boys sitting on Stewart ' s new building , opposite the Irving-house , about six p . m ., watching ' for the Nightingale . On returning about ten tho mob still remained . Two or three ladies were on the

      balcony , bat it was too dark to distinguish whether Jenny was one of the select party . The crowd , however , imagined she was there , and that was sufficient for them . One of the ladies , after eating a peach , threw the stone over the balcony , when a tremendous rush took place to secure what was presumed to be a precious momenta of the fair songstress , and a regular street fight nearly ensued . This my friend tells me he saw , and it is a fact . Another story freely circulated is , that a g love of Jenny ' shas been picked up , and the fortunate finder is charging ( so it is reported ) one shilling f or an outside , and two shillings for an inside kiss of the article . The old aphorism , dulce est , <_ c ., will well apply under such circumstances . ' The _ » ew Feiendit Societies Act . —The Act

      recently passed to consolidate and amend the laws relating to friendly societies contains fifty-two sec-Cons , besides several schedules . It is an important piece of legislation , and was passed , according to the preamble , to make further provision for protection ofthe members against" fraud and the misapplication of their funds . " The laws are now consolidated into one statute , and the other Acts are repealed , except so far as they are required for matters to he transacted or perfected , The objects for which friendly societies , may be fornxs * under the Act are detailed , arising principally frc _ death , infirmity , or sickness . There is a clause in this Act to prevent a recurrence of the horrible scenes

      arising from -tonal Oiubs , from which money was obtained on the death of . children . _ J 0 w for a « hild under ten years no money is to be paid , except fertile actual funeral expenses , and then not exceding £ 3 , nor is the money to be paid except to the undertaker or person by whom the funeral is conducted . In cases of members dying , it is necessary to produce a certificate of a surgeon or coroner , that there was no reason to attribute death to poison , violence , or criminal neglect , and that to fhecoronerit did not appear that the party had Seen deprived of life by means of any person beneficially interested in obtaining burial money from any society . The Act is now in force .

      Fire At Pentonvi__E.—On Friday Night, Sh...

      Fire at Pentonvi __ e . —On Friday night , shortly before ten o clock , a fire broke out in the premises belonging to Messrs . John , Thomas , and William Barns , carpenters and builders , carrying on business in Queen's-row , Pentonville , immediately facing the chapel . Numerous engines of the London Brigade , Parish , and West of England Company , attended as quickly as possible . Before , however , any impression could be made upon the flames , the roof fell in , and the fire was forcing its way into the offices and stores . The carpenters' workshops were gutted , the storehouse considerably burned , and the windows in the offices demolished .

      SnocKis a Accident at -foinsG-inxL . —On Friday a coroner ' s inquest was held by Mr . Wakley , jun ., at Xo . 4 , Chepstow Villas West , -Jotting-hill , to inquiro into the death of Mrs . Ada Seogh , aged 20 , the wife of Mr . Keogh , provision merchant , of Thames-street . On Tuesday ' morning last , about eleven o ' clock , the unfortunate lady was- playing with her infant upon the hearth rug , in the iront parlour of the house , when her dress , which was of a very lig ht material , caught fire , and although her servants and some of the passers by came to her assistance almost immediately , the burns which she received were so severe and extensive that she gradually sunk and expired the same evening . The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . ' '

      Tragical Event . —loKK , TnuKSDA _ . _ -Two events of a painful and tragical nature have occurred in this city , viz ., the suicide of one female , and the supposed death , by her own act , of another . Tho first victim was a woman about forty years of age , named Burton , who , along with her husband , kept a lodging and coffee-house for the accommodation of railway passengers , opposite the station in Tanner-row . She has had a family of two or three children , and she and her partner have lived very comfortably together , but for the last three quarters of a year she has been afflicted with an internal complaint . For this she had been at Buxton , and it was thought that her health had much improved . Nothing peculiar was observed in her conduct on

      Tuesday , but she attended her domestic duties as usual as well as her strength would allow . In the evening she went up stairs , and some time afterwards the door of her room was discovered to be fastened . _» ladder was obtained , by which the room was entered and the door unfastened , and . on the husband going into the room with a candle , a dreadful spectacle presented itself . His wife was laid extended on the bed with two fearful gashes in her throat , and life quite extinct . There was a razor aud a pool of blood on the floor , and a portion ofthe blood had trickled through the flooring into the room below . Mr . Keyworth , surgeon , was sent for , but , of course , too late to render the female any assistance . An induest was held on

      Wednesday before Mr . Wood , the coroner , and the jury returned a verdict that " the deceased had cut her throat whilst labouring under temporary insanity . " The second inquest was held tho same day on the body of a young female named Smith , who had drowned herself . This event happened on the same night . The deceased had been labouring for some time under a depression of spirits , and had complained that she could not appear in as decent clothes as any other person . She had declared she would drown herself . She was ' heard to fall into the Ouse by some person near , and immediately to utter the exclamation , " Oh dear ! " An alarm was raised , but no assistance could be rendered , and she sunk . There was no positive evidence as to

      bow she got into the . water , and therefore a verdict of " Found Drowned" was recorded . [ . i . Murder of a -Lanolord and Maoistrate . —Another murder has been perpetrated in the - county of Westmeath , the victim being Mr . Roger ' -Tort- ? J . P ., of Kilduff . house , King ' s County . The following particulars are given in the King ' s County Chronicle : — " It appears that on Monday afternoon , Mr . 2 forth left his residence to go to his farm at Garryduff ; on Ms return home between four and five o ' clock , when walking alone on the public road at Mountrath , about a quarter of a mile from Kahu House , and quite close to the boundary of this ccunty , he was fired at and shot dead—no less than twenty-five slugs having entered his right side and chest . Some persons have been arrested on

      suspicion by tho Ivilbeggan police . An inquest was held on the body by Mr . Marcus Kelly , coroner . Mr . Forth having been obliged to take proceedings against some tenants , is the reason assigned for his assassination . " Tan Gbeat Fire w the Cut . —Notwithstanding that upwards of a week has elapsed , there was , as late as nine o clock on Thursday night , a quantity of fire still remaining in the ruins of the premises destroyed . The salvage , it is now feared , will not be worth one-half of the amount it was , expected at first , owing to the fire acting upon / it for so many days . From the inquiries made by the surveyors to the different fire-offices they have ascertained that the losses will far exceed the amount they originally expected .

      Chud Left in a Railway Carriage . — On a lady and gentleman getting into a first-class carriage on the Greenwich Railway on Wednesday evening ; to proceed to London by the half-past nine o clock train , they were astonished to find a fine child lying on the seat , evidently about four or five weeks old , and very elegantly dressed , Information was immediatel y given to the inspector , and an injury made , but . the party was not to be found . The child was removed to the workhouse . Fatal Termination o . a Sham Fight . —A letter from Cologne of the 19 th , in the Independence Beige says— "The manoeuvres of the troops collected

      here terminated yesterday by a sham fight . The 18 th jRegiment , composed almost exclusively of Poles , was opposed to the 34 th , mostly Prussians and the inhabitants of the Rhenish provinces , the fire having opened between these two corps ; at the first discharge three fell mortally wounded . The 18 th had , it appears , loaded with ball . Orders were at once given to cease firing , but it was with difficulty that the officers could get the order obeyed . Among the three victims is a young man named Diet ., formerly the editor of an opposition journal . An investigation has been ordered , but it is not likely that it will be attended with any result . "

      Poisoning by Lead . —Mr . Herapath , the Bristol chemist , writing " as to what quantity of lead may be taken by human beings without injurious effects , " states that a river in the West of England , the water of which was immemorialjy used by the inhabitants of a village on its banks , became impregnated with the refuse of a lead mine , and the consequences were indigestion , loss of appetite and flesh , and colic . On analysis , the water was found to contain only 1 , 500 , 000 th part of carbonate o lead , or one grain in nine gallons . Cruelty to Animam . —Among the acts passed on the 14 th ult . was one for the more effectual prevention of cruelty to animals in Scotland . It is similar to the one passed last year for England . It should be known that in Great Britain persons who offend against either act can be apprehended without a warrant and taken before a magistrate .

      Whale Fishing . —A letter from the mate of the Alexander of Dundee , of date 25 th July ; states that seven vessels are expected to have got through the barrier of ice at the top of Melville Bay , viz : —The Home , with four fish ; the Pacific , with one ; the Joseph Green , clean ; the Lord Gambier , clean ; the Begalia , clean ; the Chieftain , one fish ; and the American , clean . Seven vessels had come south , viz : —The Alexander , clean ; the Princess Charlotte , one fish ; the Advice , clean ; the Jane , one fish ; and the St . Andrew , clean . The other three , of which no accounts are sent , are the Truelove , Abram , the Ann of Hull , It would appear there had only been a partial opening in the barrier , which had again shut , and prevented the last mentioned vessels from getting through . Those that have got through will have a good chance . _> o mention is made of the vessels sent out in search

      of Sir John Franklin , except the two Americaus , which were then west of the Devil ' s Thumb . If may reasonably be concluded that Captain Penny ' s and Captain Austin ' s expeditions had got through Melville Bay early , as otherwise they would probably hare been seen by the whaler .. The Poole Election , on Wednesday last , terminated in the triumph of the Free Trade candidate the numbers being—Seymour , 188 ; Savage . 1 C 7-majority for Seymour , 21 .

      Mansion-House.—A Strange Case.—An Immens...

      MANSION-HOUSE . —A Strange Case . —An immense crowd of persons Assembled opposite to the door at which persons charged With offences usually enter for examination in the justice-room , on Monday , in consequence of the report that an American slave in woman ' s apparel was to be brought before Alderman Gibbs . Before eleven o ' clock a cab stopped at the door , and out walked a person in female attire , accompanied by a policeman . The presumed woman was dressed m a light cotton gown with stripes , and a straw bonnet , and Certainly had a most feminine appearance . —Alderman Gibbs ( to tho prisoner ) : What is your name ? The prisoner :

      Eliza Scott . —J . W . Tanner , 52 : In consequence of information which I received from a gentleman in the Minories , I apprehended the prisoner on Saturday , at a quarter to twelve o ' clock , in Fenchurchstreet , dressed in woman ' s clothes ; and as I was taking him to the station-house he resisted in a most violent manner ; and endeavoured to escape . I charged him at the station with having annoyed gentlemen in Fenchuroh-street , having seen him frequently following and addressing respectable persons in that locality , I made a distinct charge of the most serious kind against him . I then asked him whether he was not a man ? He denied most positively that he was a man , and called God to witness that he was telling truth in denying the

      imputation . I then handed him over to the searcher , who intimated the fact of his sex . During the last week I have seen him about nine in the evening till about one or two in tho morning , walking Fenchurch-street and the Minories in the same dress , and I always considered that he was a woman , and that he belonged to the wretched class who live by prostitution . —W . C . Potter ( K 212 , metropolitan force ) : I have known the prisoner as living at No . 5 , Angel-gardens , for nearly six months , always dressed as a woman . Within the last fortnight I have seen a man in his company , The prisoner walked the neighbourhood of the Thames Tunnel and Ratcliffe-highway , and I have frequently seen him with sailors , and always considered him to be a

      woman . —B . J . Martin , merchant ' s clerk ; said : On Friday morning last , about three o ' clock , as I was returning from a party towards my house in the Minories , the prisoner came up , in his present dress of a female , and asked me if I was goodnatured : . . I , of course , thought he was a woman , and we walked together . As we went into a more retired place , the prisoner lifted up her veil which was fastened to the bonnet , and then I for the first time observed that the face was that of a person of colour . I soon suspected , from the growth of the beard , that I was speaking to a man , and as soon as I saw a metropolitan policeman 1 gave him in charge ; but the constable refused to take the charge , and the prisoner then began to load me with abuse , and to declare

      loudly that he was a woman , and would prove that fact upon the spot . When the metropolitan policeman refused to take the charge , the prisoner walked down the Minories , and I told a sergeant of the City police , but the prisoner had disappeared . While he was abusing me , the prisoner said he was a married woman , and had two children . —Alderman Gibbs : Prisoner , do you wish to say anything in answer to this very serious charge ?—The prisoner , whose voice is effeminate , said : I have not much to say . I am almost a stranger in London , and have been here only about six months , and I brought a letter here ( the Mansion-house ) , to see if I could get back to America . The captain who brought me over was to have seen mo back again , but he is gone away

      without me , and I never could get any place . He promised positively to take me back to America ^ but he never did so . I was a slave in America , - aha ran away to the West Indies . The captain was sick on the passage to England , and I used to attend upon him . . He did not perform his promise , and I have nothing more to say . —alderman Gibbs said it was quite palpable that the prisoner had walked about in the disgraceful disguise for the worst purposes , and committed him to Newgate for trial ; Stealing a Bank-note . —G . Ewart was charged with having stolen a £ 5 note . —Mr . W . H . Gardner , ofthe George public-house , Fenchurch-street , said , on the 13 th inst . I gave the prisoner a £ 5 Bank of

      England note , to get changed at Mr . Ive ' s , No . 14 , Aldgate , and he was to bring me back the change , but he was a long time gone , and I went to make inquiries and received some information frOm Mr . Ive about the prisoner , whodid not return . —Policeman 215 M : 1 took the prisoner in . 0 custody at Brunswick-place , East-road , City-road . I told him I took him for stealing a £ 5 note , and asked him whether he had been to his master to make it all right . He said he did not know what I meant , but after some hesitation he admitted that he had committed the robbery , but said . that he and his father had made it all right with his master . —Committed for trial ; ¦ >

      GUILDHALL ' .- —Violent Assault . —Julia Bresnahah ; was ' ' placed at the bar , before Mr , Alderman Finnis , charged with violently assaulting John Chich , an engineer , residing in Brooke ' s Market , Ilolborn , with a quart pot , with intent to do him some serious bodily injury . —The prosecutor stated that between ono and two o ' clock on Wednesday morning hewas in the Noah ' s Ark public-house , in Shoe-lane , drinking with some friends , when prisoner asked him to treat her to a little drop of g in . On his refusing to accede to her request , -he seized hold of what he believed was a quart pot , and struck him several severe blows on the head , inflicting two very extensive wounds ; ono was a deep incision over the right temple , and the other a most

      frig htful gash over tho left eye . In a very short space of time he was completely covered with blood which flowed rapidly from-the wounds . Ho was taken to the hospital , where he was immediately attended to . Prisoner ran towards the back portion of the premises , and ho did not see her again until the officer brouget her to him to identify . —Police-constable 325 said , that about half-past two o ' clock on Wednesday morning he was on duty in Shoe-lane , when he saw comp lainant at the Noah ' s Ark , bleeding freely from a couple of wounds on the head , which appeared to have been recently inflicted . He made inquiries for the prisoner , and some of her friends said she had gone into the street , but the landlord said he

      was sure she must be on the premises , for she had not left the house . He then searched tho house , and , after some trouble , he found her secreting herself behind the door of the kitchen . He then took her into custody , and , on being identified by the complainant , she was locked up at the station . The prisoner said that complainant had" thrown a glass of liquor in her face , and that was tho reason she assaulted him , but it was not with a quart pot that the wounds on bis head were inflicted , but with a-tumbler , which she broke over his head . —Alderman Finnis then directed the inspector to see that a summons was taken out

      against the landlord of the Noah's Ark for keeping a disorderly house . He said the assault committed by the prisoner , whether tho instrument used ; -was a quart pot or a glass , was excessively brutal . and unprovoked . He would therefore fine her 40 _ ., or , in default of payment , order her to be imprisoned for two months . The complainant' here applied for a summons against the landlord ,-for assaulting him at the time of the disturbance—Alderman Finnis immediatel y granted the summons , and directed that both that and the one he had ordered to be taken out against the same person should be heard on the same day .

      LAMBETH . —Defraudin g Tradespeople . —Eliza Jones , alias Long , and Esther Stone , two welldressed married women , were finally examined before Mr . Elliott on charges of defrauding tradespeople by . the following means : —The prisoners , who generally dressed in the style of servants to respectable families , entered the shop of tradesmen , principally grocers , and gave a small ordergenerally two ounces qf ^ tea ^ nd a pound of loaf sugar , and obtained change foV a sovereign . When the change was given ihey took" exception to the price of the sugar , refused to tftkeithe things , and got the sovereign back . They ' then changed their mind again , ana offered to take the goods upon the tradesmen returning the change with the goods .

      They then asked for some other Small articles to divert the attention ofthe shopkeeper , and haying paid for the latter they carried ' away the goods , the change , and also the soverei gn ; and since their commitment for re-examination several communications have reached the mag istrate to prove that they carried the system of imposition to a vast extent . —One of the witnesses , Mr . Gannon , a grocer , in Duke-street , Lincoln ' s-inn-fields , deposed , that about two years ago the prisoners , with a third woman in their company , entered his shop , and Jones having given her usual order , and getting tho change for a sovereign , played off the usual trick of returning the goods and ultimately taking them , and when asked for the soverei gn all three women used the most solemn asseverations that he had taken it up . He ( Mr . Gannon ) felt morally certain he bad been " done" at the time , but he still submitted to it , and on counting his cash at nieht he

      was satisfied he had been swindled . ' In about six months after the prisoners again called at his house , and having gone over precisely the same course as respected a small order , attempted by the same means to defraud him of another sovereign . He told them , however , that once was quite enough to be done by them , and desired his servant to go to Bow-street and fetch a constable . The prisoners assured him he was much mistaken in their character , and begged he would not g ive them into custody . He , however , declared he should ; upon which Stone stooped down , and exclaiming , " Why , here it is , " took the sovereign from the floor , and gave it to him . He did not then wish to have any trouble with them . — -John Spittle , a city officer , deposed to having had tho prisoners twice in custody on charges of defrauding tradespeople b y the means above described , but upon both occasions they had been discharged . —The defence set up was that the prisoners were the wives of' two young men , journeymen carpenters , who had always borno good characters , and were in excellent employment ; bat

Harrington , a young . man working in a tan-yard at Bermondsey , was placed at the bar with his face disfigured , so as to render it almost impossible to distinguish a single feature , charged with committing a rape on Emma O'Dbnnell , between seven and eight years of ago , the daughter of a man in the same employment .-Mr . Binns attended for ; the orisoner . The prisoner and the father of the lvttlo £ irl had for some years worked together m a tanvard at Bermondsey , and on Saturday last the ¦¦„¦¦> .

There were two beds in one of the rooms , m one of which the prisoner slept with the father ot the children , while the latter occupied tho second ,. On Sunday night O'Donnell and bis sister , the aunt of the children , went out to visit some friends , leaving them at home to mind the house . Between eleven and twelve o clock the prisoner ( the lodger ) returned , and , having procured a candle from the eldest daughter , a girl about twelve years of age , proceeded upstairs to bed , leaving herm a room below waiting the arrival of her father . The prisonerhowever , instead of going to his own bed ,

      , got into that where the two children were asleep , and when tho elder sister afterwards went up into the room , she found Emma , her sister , crying piteously , and when asked what was the matter with her , she described the manner in which she had been treated by the accused , and , exhibiting her neck , showed marks of violence , which she added had been inflicted by the prisoner to prevent her from making a noise or calling out while he was assaulting her . . Soon after this discovery ofthe prisoner ' s brutal treatment of the child , O'Donnell , the father , returned home , and the circumstances attending it having been Communicated to him , he immediately rushed upstairs in order to inflict summary vengeance on the child ' s assailant . At that time the orisoner was in his own bed pretending to

      be asleep , when O'Donnell ordered him to get up and get Out Of his house , declaring if he did not , after his infamous behaviour to the child , he should drag him out , and throw him downstairs . The prisoner , finding that it was useless ' to remain quiet any longer , vociferated that he was innocent , and entfbated the father to let him remain there until the morning , and that he would then explain all . O'Donnell , however , was not to be appeased , and he at once carried his threats into effect by dragging the prisoner out of bed , and inflicting such chastisement upon him , in the height of passion , as to render it a matter of difficulty to distinguish a

      feature in the offender ' s countenance after it was over . The prisoner was to ill after the punishment to be conveyed to the station-house , but on the previous afternoon he was taken into custody on the charge . —Mr . ' Caudle , a surgeon , of Guildfordstreet , stated that the child ' was brought to his house , and on examination , he had no doubt a capital offence was committed . He described the particulars , which were unfit for publication . —The prisoner said that he got into his own bed the moment he went upstairs , and never stirred ' out of it until he was dragged out and cruelly beaten by the father . The prisoner was committed on the capital charge .

He ( the officer ) had considerable difficulty in finding him , till the previous night , When hediscovered him in Francis-street , Blackfriars-road . On the way to the police station

      he suddenly turned round , knocked witness down , and dragged him several yards , inflicting severe injuries on his legs and arms . The prisoner then ran away , but witness pursued him , and succeeded in recapturing him . In defence tho prisoner said he was not the father ofthe child , and ought not to be apprehended . —Mr . A'Beckett said that as a protection to the officer of that court , he should commit him to the House of Correction for ten days . He must be further committed for a month for neglecting to pay the order .

      BOW-STREET . —Robbery bv a Servant—John Burlett , a potman in the service of Messrs . Moore and Locklin , landlords of the Duke on Horseback public-house in Holland-street , Blackfriars-rbad , was charged with stealing a cash-box , the property of his employers . —The prisoner was met by SO F on Sunday morning , the 15 th instant , passing Temple-bar , going westward with something bulky under his coat , and having refused to say what he carried witness conveyed him to the station , and discovered that the cash-box contained £ 13 10 s . in gold , in addition to some valuable documents . —The prosecutors identified the property , and said that the prisoner only a short time previously to his apprehension absconded , taking tho box with him .

' Constable F 94 said that he saw Hewson and the youn ^ woman in a narrow court near the Artichoke public-house , after twelve o ' clock at night , and told them to go away . They refused to do so , and Hewson , who was drunk , said that they lived there , it being the side entrance to the public-house . Witness did not believe this , and , after two other useless attempts to make them " move on , " he went to the Artichoke to ascertain if they did live there . He was followed by them , and an altercation took place in the house , during which witness was assaulted by Hew .

      son , while the woman relieved him of the staff . In the meantime Miller , who lived in the house , came down stairs in his shirt- and helped the others to eject him from the place . They succeeded , but witness returned with a brother constable , F 130 , and , having regained possession of his staff , proceeded to . take them into custody . They were resisted with savage violence , witness being severely beaten by Miller , who employed a tin-kettle and a rolling-pin to attack him with . A clasp-knife was flung at them during the affray , but he could not say by whom . Witness struck Miller a smart blow with his staff , and eventually ho went willingly to the police-station . The defence of Hewson and the girl was that they were out late , looking at an Irish

      wake which had been going on , and that the interference of the policeman was most unwarrantable . —Miller said , he was disturbed by the noise , and got out of bed to see what was the matter , when he was treated with great brutality by the police , who also used imfamous language . Corroborative evidence was given by Mrs . Hewson , who resided in the house , and by her son , a youth about fifteen , who- slept with his mother and a _ married sister on tho night in question , and was , with them , disturbed in their bed by the fighting on the stairs . Both these witnesses declared that they had not such a thing as a " rolling-pin" in the house , but had always iiad to borrow one . —Mr . Jardine believed the statement of the constables , and was

Cartwright , a private in the Coldstream Guards , was charged with brutally assaulting a female , named Elizabeth Alexander . The prosecutrix , who lives in Short ' s Gardens , Drury-lane , said on Monday ni ght as she was returning home with a female friend along Chandos-street , she met the prisoner , who was very drunk , and walking with a female . As she passed them the prisoner made use of very disgusting language towards witness , and she turned and asked him what he meant . He made no reply , but pushed her against the doorway of a house , and , while holding her handsjhe struck her a tremendous blow upon the side of her face with his clenched fist . Her mouth was cut , and it bled very much for some time afterwards . Her teeth were also

      loosened . He then struck her several violent blows upon the breast as fastas he could , from the effects of which she was still suffering . She screamed loudly , and a police constable came to-her assistance—Police-constable , 108 F , corroborated the witness ' s statement , and said while the prisoner was in the dock in the station house he took off his cap and threw it violently at witness . It struck him in the face . —The serjeant of the regiment to which the prisoner is attached , said the prisoner was a very bad character , and had been charged at that court on a former occasion . He had been twice in custody . —Mr . Jardine inflicted the penalty of £ 3 , or three weeks' imprisonment . For the assault on the constable he fined him 10 s „ and if he did not pay the fines he ordered him to be imprisoned for one month in the House of Correction . The prisoner was removed in the ran .

      Assault on the Police . —Dennis Sullivan and James Williams were charged with brutally assaulting the police in the execution of their duty . —The two prisoners were fighting in Charles-street , Drury-lane , on Tuesday afternoon , and a most disorderl y mob had collected in consequence . The police interferred , and the wrath of both persons was instantly turned against the officers , who were attacked with great ferocity by them . Two of the constables had their heads broken open with a lifepreserver , while further injuries were inflicted . by a volley of flowerpots and other missiles , aimed at them from the houses , or the mob by whom they were , surrounded . Eventually , by the arrival of other officers , the two prisoners were lod ged at the station . —Three cases of assault were proved against each of the prisoners , and Mr . Henry committed them to three months hard labour , being one month for each assault .

      Neglecting a Wipe and Family . —William Wadman , a tailor , was charged before Mr . Henry with having deserted his wife and two children , Mr

      Mansion-House.—A Strange Case.—An Immens...

      £ bck _ -rt the reiieying ; bffiOe , r ' ; or stated that the prisoner was convicted 6 f thesame offence three or four years ago ; and -underwent a term of imprisonment . SOon afterwards , however , he again deserted her , and ' went into the country with another woman , The parish had since then assisted the mother , with out-door relief , and their bill against the husband , on this ' account , amounted to £ 12 . He had been away from her nearly two years and a half . —Hannah Wadman , a respectable young woman in delicate health , stated that she was the prisoner ' s wife . He deserted her without any cause or intimation ' of his intention , and she never heard from him durin g his absence . She had two little girls , tho issue of their marriage to support . —Peterkin , a warrant officer , attached to the t * _ : „ 1-l , n .. {¦ * Vi « «« i ; rt „ : «~ -. ffl««— > w ^ - CJ * . Ann ' o '" C !* ... 0 _

      court , stated his belief , from what he had heard , that the prisoner had married another woman in the name of Robinson , with whom he was living in lodg ings in London when the warrant was served upon him . Mrs . Wadman , he believed , had seen the certificate of tho prisoner ' s second marriage , but she seemed reluctant to prefer a charge of bigamy against her husband , for whom she still appeared to be affectionately attached . Mrs . Robinson , the womau referred to , was in attendance outside the court . —Mr . Henry desired the officer to call her in . —A young woman of very inferior appearance then stepped into the Witness-box , and commenced a spiteful invective against the lawful wife of the prisoner , declaring that she was a person of loose character , and totally unworthy of her

      husbaud . Witness stated that her own name was Robinson , and that she was a married woman , but she lived with tho prisoner because her husband ( Robinson ) had deserted her . . She knew nothing of Robinson now , and could not tell where ho was , living or dead ; but she did know , she ^ witness ) was not the woman to drag her own husband into a court of justice . This was said with strong emphasis , and a savage glance at Mrs . Wadman , who cried bitterly during the examination of the witness . Mrs . Robinson added , that before she was deserted by Mr . Robinson , he had formed a guilty intimacy with the prisoner ' s wife . —Mr . Henry : You may leave the box . —Both the relieving-officer and Peterkin , the constable , expressed their belief that there was not a word of truth in the statements of the woman Robinson . Mrs . Wadman , who lived

      with her mother and worked hard for the maintenance of herself and children , which she accomplished with the slight assistance of the parish , bore an excellent character . . Her home was highly creditable to her , and formed a striking contrast to the wretched state in which he found the domestic arrangements of' Mrs : Robinson . ; In spite of the assertion to the contrary , they had reason to believe , that the charge of bigamy could be made out , if time were granted to procure the witnesses to the second marriage : —Mr . Henry would give every opportunity for the prosecution , on the more serious charge , if it could be sustained . —The prisoner , in his defence , said that his wife knew he was going to leave her , and gave him £ 1 to go with . He made no allusion to the charge of bigamy . —Mrs . Wadman denied the statement of the prisoner , who was committed to hard labour for three months .

      M ARYLEBONE . —Caution to Railwat Passengers . —Mr . A . Shever , jun ., a draper residing at Cheltenham , was charged by Mr . Collard , surpeintendeht Of the Great Western Railway Company ' s police ; with having , by throwing a glass bottle out of the carriage in which he was riding , inflicted injury . pf analarmihg nature upon J . Wise , one of the company ' s guards . —The defendant , who was a passenger in an excursion train from Cheltenham to London , while passing through the Farringdon-road , station , threw a glass bottle out of the window of the carriage in which he was seated , and the missile struck two persons , a railway porter and a guard , who were on the platform . The former escaped with very trifling injury , but the latter was knocked

      down and so seriously hurt about the head that it was found necessary to procure surgical assistance . The defendant , on being taken into custody , said that he had flung the bottle away at the request of a person who handed it to him for the purpose , and that he did so without having the remotest idea of injuring any one , in fact he did not think he was near a station at the time . —Mr . Broughton : I cannot allow you to be at liberty until I have some information as to the condition of the guard ; he may , for aught I know , have by this time lost his life through the injury he has sustained . I do not for a moment believe that you intended to do the poor fellow any harm , but under the circumstances I cannot Jet you depart without good security for

      your re-appearance . —Mr . Collard said that he would proceed at once to the Farringdon-road station and obtain a properly authenticated' certificate as to the wounded man ' s condition . The defendant was , prior to the closing of tho court , liberated upon two responsible persons putting in bail in the sum of £ 80 each . On Wednesday the defendant attended , pursuant to the recognizances entered into , for his being forthcoming . In repl y to tho Magistrate / Mr . Collard said that he had obtained acertificatefrom a surgeon named Keddle , residing at Briston , as to the present condition of Wise . It was handed to the magistrate , and it set forth that Alfred Wise was suffering from a severe contused wound on the forehead , and that some

      weeks would certainly elapse ere a euro would be effected . —Wise , the wounded man , who had been brought up by the train , under the care of Mr . Collard , was put into the witness-box . He seemed very weak , and his left . temple was strapped up with adhesive plaster . He made a brief statement , to the effect that he was struck by a bottle and knocked down , and that when he arrived at a state of consciousness he found himself in one of the rooms at the station . He was subsequently carried to the house of a surgeon in Wantage-road , b y whom the wounds which had been inflicted upon him were dressed . —Mr . Collard produced sundry p ieces of glass which had been picked up at the spot ; and his opinion was , judging from the pieces

      m question , that it was a pint porter bottle which was thrown from the window . —The solicitor addressed the magistrate on the part of the defendant , and said that as the unfortunate occurrence was purely accidental , and as there was no danger whatever to be apprehended , he trusted that his worship would permit the defendant ( his client , ) to make compensation to the guard for any injury which he might have sustained . —Mr . Broughton said he could not consent to anything like a compromise , as suggested by the solicitor , inasmuch as the offence was one of a nature in which the public generally were interested ; he had given due and attentive consideration to the case in all its

      bearings , and was of opinion that what had arisen could not he looked upon as an " accident , " although he believed , at the same time , that there was no intention of doing injury to any particular person ; he had , however , the power to commit the defendant for trial . The Magistrate , after some further remarks , enlarged the recognizances until Wednesday next , and it was understood that in the event of the magistrates in the part of the country where the offence was committed holding ad interim their sittings , Mr , Collard should give notice to the bail in order to insure the attendance of the accused . The defendant and his friends then left the court .

      CORN . Mark-une , "Wednesday , Sept . 25 . — Owing to the removal of many of the stands , in consequence of the injury sustained on Saturday by the falling in of the wall ofthe adjoining warehouse destroyed by the late fire , the busi . ness on our market was in a very unsettled state to-day . There was , however , a good show of wheat samples from Esses and Kent , the best qualities of which sold pretty readily at last Monday ' s prices . Fine foreign wheat maintained its value , but the demand was very limited . French flour was rather saleable on rather better terms . Boiling peas were dull sale and rather cheaper . Grey peas scarce and wanted . In barley , malt , and beans , no alteration . Oats were in large supply and met a slow sale on rather easier terms to the buyers . Richmond ( Yorkshire ) September 21 . — We had a good supply of wheat this morning , but only thin of other grain . —Wheat sold from _ s Gd to GsOd : oats 2 s 4 dto 8 s Id ; barley 3 s 9 dto _ s ; beans _ s 3 d to is Gaper bushel .

Owing to the change in the weathtr , and to tha heaviness m the demand at Newgate and Leadenhall , the bcei trade ruled exceedingly heavy , and , in some instances , prices declined 2 d per Bibs , without effecting a clearance . There was a slight decrease in the supply of sheep , all breeds of which came to hand in gooo condition . Generally speaking , the mutton trade was heavy in the extreme .
