      The Case Of Thomas Jones, The Last Of Th...

      THE CASE OF THOMAS JONES , THE LAST OF THE CHARTIST VICTIMS .

      On the 17 _& of September last Thomas Jones ' s sentence of t _* o years ' imprisormenfc expired ; on that day the required sureties for his good behaviour for five years were in attendance , at the Westminster Police-court , but , oa the _friends . who then assembled applying ta _Tothill Fields Prison for his release , they ¦ were informed b y the authorities that , in addition to the above sentence , he had to pay a fine of £ 10 tothe Crown , and be further _imprisoned until snch fine be paid . A committee was forthwith formed to raise the amount , and thereb y effect his liberation ; and they resolved to make a fall inquiry into the cause , or causes ¦ wh in his case , the fine was demanded , when , in all the others , such fines had been remitted ¦ f

      . _ .. Ou _yis'ting Thomas Jones in prison , the Committee learned that ho had been most brutally and cruell y treated . "Not being sentenced to hard labour , he had refused to work for the benefit of the prison authorities , and being a boot-mater he was determined that his labour should not compete with his fellowmen in the labour market . That as bis late emp loyer had agreed to send him work into the prison , he had appealed to the Visiting Justices to be allowed to do ifc , afc the same time

      proposing to pay five shillings per week for his keep , and that what remained of his earnings should be devoted to the support of his family . This most _jusfc and reasonable proposition the Magistrates positivel y refused their assent to , and being of an unyielding temperament , he refused to snbject himself to the prison ruleswas deemed refractory—and , in consequence , had suffered much crnelty and privation . He had been many times locked np iu the black hole , on bread and water , and , during tbe last five weeks of bis sentence , had been SO

      confined for six days out of every seven . The Committee on learning these _factB considered that a great principle was involved in this case ; they , therefore , resolved to exert their utmost energies to represent the same to tbe government . Accordingly , a deputation waited on William Williams , Esq ., M . P ., for the purpose of soliciting thafc gentleman to use his influence with Sir George Grey to get the fine remitted ; but on attending at his _residence the deputation found that Mr . Williams was out of town . A full statement of tbe case

      was , however , forwarded to Mr . Williams , and the result was , that Mr . Williams , on his return to London , took such interest therein tbat be immediatel y visited poor Jones in tbe House of Correction , Westminster , and also on the same day commenced the following correspondence with Sir George Grey on the lubject : — Park-square , September 28 . 1850 . Sib , —I beg to lay before you the case of Thomas Jones , one ofthe ( 3 harti _« fc Prisoners , whose term of imprisonment has expired . In addition to imprisonment he was sentenced to pay a fine of . £ 10 , and to find sureties for good behaviour . Responsible persons are , lam informed , ready to become his sureties ; bufc he has no means whatever to pay the £ 10 , -or anv portion of it , being quite destitute , and he is

      now detained in prison from his inability to pay that sum , which—small as it may appear—is an excessive fine imposed upon a poor penniless working man , and , if enforced , must inevitably subject him to imprisonment for life , which , doubtless , could sot bave been the intention of the Judge who passed the sentence upon him . He has been subjected to much suffering for infringement of the prison rules . The Irregularity of his conduct has , in my opinion , been tho consequence of impaired intellect , to which you will no doubt remember I called your attention when I waa one of the Visiting Magistrates of the "Westminster House of Correction , - where he" was confined . As he is the last Chartist Prisoner , and ii now incarcerated for being too poor to pay £ 10 to the Crown , I cannot doubt but you will deem this a proper case to be recommended to the Queen s benevolent consideration .

      I have the honour to be , Sir , Yonr most obedient servant , "William Williams The R t . Hon . Sir G . Grey , Bart . M . P .

      Dear Sib , —I have directed an inquiry into the recent conduct of Thomas Jones , in order to enable me to judge how far I shall ha justified in ordering his discharge . It was solely owing to the _unfavourable report- cf his conduct some time since , tbat he was not _discharged at the same time with some Others convicted at tbe same time of the same Offence , and the term of whose sentences was considerably shortened . Yours faithfully , * W . Williams , Esq . M . P . George Geet .

      House : of Correction to the House of Detention , _Cierltenwell , on the 30 th of September , where he has since been confined with persons imprisoned for want of bail . As one of the _Visitins Justices ofthat Prison I beg to state , that the officers' reports of his conduct have been unexceptionable , and his mind _Beemsmuch more composed . _Havingsufficient bail ready , he is now imprisoned for inability to pay * fine of £ 10 to the Crown ; I therefore respectfully submit to your consideration , whether it be Just to put . the County of Middlesex to the expense of maintaining him in prison , as a debtor to the Crown . 1 have the he SOI - to be , Sir .

Bnt he regrets to say , that the last report of hii conduct , up to the period cf his removal from the House of Correction at Westminster , on the 30 th of last month , was of a nature which precluded any mitigation of his senfence .

      Serious Accident On Tub London And North...

      Serious Accident on tub London and North Westerx Railway . —Birmingham , Thursday . —An _accident ofa most serious nature occurred between three and four o ' clock this morning , on the Loudon and North Western Railway , about three-quarters of a mile from their station in thia town . At the point where the acoident occurred the public ro id is spanned by a large central arch , and on either side are lesser arches , some of which are mounded up and filled with rubbish . It appears that ns the three o ' clock a . in . goods traia to Loudon was passing over , an exp losion of a most violent character took place . The eng ine and tender were thrown with great violence from the rails ; tbe engine driver and stoker wero hurled over many yards below the crown of the viaduct , which was shivered almost to atoms . No noise whatever was heard ;

      and up to the present time the accident in not accounted for beyond the supposition , that the gas pipes which intersect the arches of the viaduct had become leaky— that a large quantity of gas had in consequence become deposited in all the interstices ofthe brickwork and rubbish beneath , and that a cinder from the firework , as the engine passed on to the viaduct , caused the explosion . The stoker was very seriously injured , but the engine driver escaped with less injury . The Plats Robberies . —Mr . Sirrell appeared before Alderman Gibbs , at the Mansion-house , on Thursday , for final examination npon the charges of havin g received stolen articles of plate , with the knowledge that they had been stolen , the particulars of which will be found in our seventh page . No additional evidence was produced , and the prisoner was discharged .

      Extensive Post-Office Robberies at Leeds . — On Thursday afternoon , a young man named John Warren , the son of a stuff-weaver at Leeds , was brought before the Mayor and F . Carbutt , Esq ., on a charge of having purloined from the Leeds Postoffice letters containing _eumi ol money to a very serious amount . He was arrested that morning at his father ' s house , and on his person were found Bank of England notes and gold of the value of no less than £ 742 . After the examination of several witnesses ifc was determined to adjourn the further hearing till Monday next .

      Charge of Rape against a Clergyman . —Brentwood , Thursday . —Tho charge of felonious assault brought against the Rev . Mr . Johnstone by the girl Ann Doe was again brought before the magistrates this morning . The particulars of thia case will be found in our seventh page . Superintendent Coulson had not succeeded in discovering the " g irl , Ann Doe , and the case was remanded for a week . Mr . Johnstone was a very popular preacher in this neighbourhood , and has taken rather an active part lately in reforming sonie abuses _, connected with a _foundation school in the town . At

      Chelmsford , only three weeks since , he preached a charity sermon , which made a great sensation , and netted a large sum . The Lord Bishop of Rochester , in whose diocese _Ingrare is situated , has been made acquainted with the circumstances , and has signified his intention of proceeding ecclesiasticall y against the accused . Explosion op Fibe Damp at Haydock Colliery . —A gloom of sorrow and mourning was cast over Haydock and Ashton , early on Thursday morning * , hy a report which spread like wildfire , that many lives had been sacrificed afc Haydock Colliery . On

      inquiry ifc proved , alas ! too true . The sad catastrophe occurred at a pit , known as No . 13 , about eight o clock . Immediately afterwards nine bodies were brought to the bank :, and several persons , severely bruised and otherwise injured , were taken out of the pit . There were about twenty men and boy * at work in the mine at the time , and four ponies . The ponies were all found dead . No . 13 pit is the property of Turner and Evans ; it is 208 yards deep , and situated by the roadside opposite Haydock School . On tho 5 th of November , 1846 , thirteen lives were lost in tho same pit , and by the same agent—fire damp . —Liverpool Mercury ,

The deceased was on the outside step of one of the carriages of his train , which was stopp in- ; at the station , when another train came past and knocked him down upon the rails : he waB removed to Leeds in a dying state , and expired almoBt immediately on his arrival in thafc town . The deceased was fearfully crushed and mangled . He kept a public house at York , and has left a wife and eight children behind him .

      The Papal Hierarchy In Enolia-Kp.., , .....

      THE PAPAL HIERARCHY IN _ENOliA-Kp . ., , .... . " ' - .. . _•^ _-Jii- _^ _wtCY "' THE BISHOP OE LONDON'S Vi 6 Il _& T $ " _^ On Saturday morning the Bishop of tondot _^ cdmmenced his Visitation at St . Paul ' s Cathedral ? The charge may . be described as consisting of two parts—the former occupied with the baptismal controversy , and the latter chiefly , with the Romanist movements . The former is briefly characterised by the Guardian as " a review of the judgment in Mi * ' 'Gorham ' s case , involving a searching inquiry into its merits / ' "With , respect to the judgment itself , and the question involvedin ifc , the Bishop of London / unlike the Bishop of Exeter , in his famous dissection of the question , has directed himself _brincioall y to the vindication of the . Catholic truth

      unhappily called in question by it , and the exposure of Mr . Gdrham ' s departure therefrom ; and has only secondarily , and by way of deduction , noticed the inaccuracy and unsoundness of tho document with which he has to deal . In a word , his lordship has pointed out clearly that what ' , the ' . Judicial . Committee state to bo Mr . Gorham ' s doctrines for the purpose of absolving them , are very far short of what really appears in Mr . Gorham ' s book . But , if this be so . the judgment does not legalise Mr . Gorham s tenets at all , but only as much of them as itself recites . Leaving the jud gment , and . proceeding to ' Mr . Gorham , the Bishop takes occasion to enter upon an examination of the whole question of the efficacy aud meaning of baptism . On the

      " Romish aggression , " tho Bishop only reiterateB the opinion and advice he has given on the addresses presented to him . As to "innovations , in the service ofthe Church , " he repeats the language he held eig ht years ago , and regrets it was not more effectual in checking 'hem among his clergy . He warns them , also , against tendencies ! in an opposite direction—thatof _latidunarianism , or German heresy ; " a sea without a shore ,, aud with no pnlestar to guide those who embark on it but the uncertain light of human reason . " From this more danger is apprehended than from Rome . The concluding topics of the charge are—the increase of exertions , one ofthe best notes i of a true Church—the question of Protestant

      sisterhoodsnational education—and the opportunity offered by the expected congress of all nations for 1851 , for the circulation of the Scriptures among the strangers in their own tongue , and for the' due provision of tho means of worshi p for the mot y throng . The Bishop concluded with the following peroration : —The most likely method of healing . the wounds inflicted upon the Church by our intestine divisions—of . softening that asperity of feeling which religious controversy is so apt to engenderand of bringing us by degrees to a common understanding upon questions of vital . importance—is for every one of us , in his proper sphere of action , honestly to fulfil the duty laid by the Church upon all her ministers . I cannot but think , that if every

      clergyman were to direct all his energies and endeavours to the task of feeding the Lord ' s family with the wholesome food provided for tbem in the Bible and the Church , to the instruction of the ignorant and the conversion of the sinful with earnest _prayerr-the stud y of God ' s word , and a devout and punctual observance of -the Church ' s , rule , confining his efforts , except in special cases , to the field of labour which has been assigned to him , he would do more to tranquilise and strengthen the . Church than he could effect by stepping out of . his allotted station to enlist himself in the ranks of angry polemics , under others banners than _those of the Church herself , unfolded by : the authorised Btandard-bearers .

      The Parishioners Of St. Dunstan's, Fleet...

      The parishioners of St . Dunstan ' s _, Fleet-street , met on Wednesday in the . inquest-room adjoining the church , to consider the recent conduct of ' the Pope , andto adopt an address to her Majesty . Resolutions and addresses were unanimously adopted . * Coventry , Nov . 2—A meeting of the clergy in the archdeaconry of Coventry and diocese of Worcester has been held here to-day , in consequence of a requisition presented to Archdeacon Spooner , the object of the meeting _being to deliberate on the steps to be taken , in consequence of the intrusion into the diocese of a Roman Catholic Bishop of Birmingham .. Between three and four hundred of the clergy assembled ; in fact , the large room at the King ' s Head was completely filled , and

      throughout the entire proceedings the excitement evinced was of a most extraordinary character , having in view the character of tbe assembly . The Rev . Mr . Sandford , of Dunchurch , the rural dean , presided . The Rev . chairman having alluded to " gunpowder plot" and massacres in Ireland , said _, but it was reserved for the 19 th century the fullblown pretensions , of papaoy—and for Pius the Ninth to seek to propagate on British soil the errors and superstitions of his faith ; a prelate with all the audacity of a Hildebrand and a Thomas A'Beckett , without either their courage or their ability . ( Applause . ) The weak but daring head of the Romish church had thought fit to send to this country a cardinal-archbishop and a complete

      hierarchy of bishops , full of puff and paraphernalia , ready to explode at the shortest notice . ( Excitement . ) Now , then , was the time fer true _protectants to nail their colours to the mast . ( Hear . ) There must be no more trafficking with Rome , no more inhaling from the cup of > her witcheries and her fornications , but tho Union Jack of protestantism must be unfurled ; that flag which had braved so many battles , the spirit which animated Vie reformers of old must again be seen abroad ip the land , and with trumpet tonpuo must be proclaimed the everlasting _goapeli of Christ . Afc this stage of thc proceedings , the Rev . Mr . Cragg _. of Leamington suggested that the meeting should have commenced the prayer . —The Rev . Chairman said that tho omission had been an inadvertence , and prayers were immediately offered . The memorial to tbe Queen was adopted , thereafter the Rev . Mr .

      Cook , ofthis eity , seconded by the Rov . Dr . Marsh , of Leamington , moved an address to the bishop of the dioceB « ( Worcester , ) soliciting his lordship ' s aid to stay the catholic invasion . ¦ A somewhat stormy discussion followed on the word "catholic . "—Dr , Marsh of Leamington suggested thatFoxe ' s " Book of Martyrs" should be sold to the people at a cheap ate . Thb Popish Usurpation , —On "Wednesday a vestry of the united parishes of St . Olave Jewry and St . Martin Pomeray was held in the vestry-room of the church , Jewry-street . Tbe Rev . Dr .. Roxb y , the rector , presided Resolutions strongly condemnatory of the recent papal appointments , calliug for the interference of the legislature for the protection of tho royal prerogative and the protestanfc church , and agreeing to suitable addresses to the Queen and the Bishop of London , were unanimously agreed to .

      ¦ • I Lord John Russell And The Papal Ag...

      ¦ i LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND THE PAPAL AGGRESSION . TO THK RIGHT KBV . TIIE BISHOP OF DURHAM , Mt Dear Lobd , —I agree with you in considering " the late aggression of the Pope upon our protestantism" US " _inBoJent and insidious , " and I therefore feel as indignant as you can do upon tbe subject . I not only promoted to the utmost of my power the claims ofthe Roman Catholics to all civil rights , but I thought it right , and even desirable , that the ecclesiastical By stem of the Roman ' Catholics should be the means of giving instruction to the numerous Irish immigrants in London and elsewhere , who without such help would have been left in heathen ignorance . This might hare been done , howerer , without any such innovation as that which we have now Been .

      It is impossible to confound the recent measures of the Pope with the division of Scotland into dioceses by tbe Episcopal Church , or the arrangement of districts in England by the _Wesleyan Conference . There is an assumption of power in all the documents which have come from Rome—a pretension to supremacy over the realm bf England , and » claim to sole and undivided away , wliich is not consistent with the Queen ' s supremacy , with the rights of our bishops and clergy , and with the bpiritual independence of the nation , as asserted even in Roman Catholic times .

      I confess , however , that my alarm iBnofc equal to my indignation . f . ¦ Even if it shall appear that the ministers and _servants of the Pope in this _country have not transgressed the law , I feel persuaded that we are strong enough to repeal any outward attacks . The liberty of Protestantism has been enjoyed too long in England to allow any successful attempt to lmposo a foreign yoke upon our mind and consciences . ' No foreign prince or potentate will be permitted to fasten his fetters upon a nation which has so _lohff and nobly vindicated its right to freedom of opinion , civil , political , and religious . Upon this _Bubject , then , I will only say that the present state of the law shall be carefull y ' examined and the propriety of . adopting , any proceedings with

      reference to the recent assumption of power deliberately considered . Thero is a danger , however , whieh alarms me much more than any agression of a forei gn sovereign .. Clergymen of our own church , who have subscribed tbe Thirty-Nine Articles , and acknowled ged in explicit terms the Queen ' s supremacy , have been tho most forward in leading their Hooks , " step by step , to the very verge of the precipice . '' Tho honour paid to saints , the claim of infallibility for the church , the superstitious use of tke sign of the Cross , the muttering of the Liturgy so as to

      _disgmso tho language in which it is written , tho recommendation of auricular confession , and the administration of penance and absolution—all these thiiiifl are pointed out by clergymen ofthe Church of Eog ' land ai . worthy of adoption , and are now opoi-ly-rP prohended by the Bishop of London in his _charged * tbe clergy of his diocese . : «* 4 "What , then , is the danger to be apprehended fri > : i » a foreign prince of no great power , compared' toj the danger within the gates from the unwoiW sons ofthe Church of England herself ? - ¦ ¦ zopw * ¦ - _> mm .

      ¦:* . The Fifth Of November. The Recent ...

      ¦ : * . THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER . The recent unpopular proceedings ' of the Pope has had the effect of g iving quite a new oharacter to this—of late years—almost forgotten celebration ; From an early hour , on Tuesday morning the bye streets of the metropolis and its suburbs were rife wifch the effigies of- " Guidy Fawkes . " As the day advanced , "Guys of larger growth" _presented themselves in the . more frequented thoroughfares , attended by numberless idlers , who kept up a running fire of pellets against the Pope and Popery . In some cases an attendant carried a bowl of white- ' wash and a brush with which ever arid anon he inscribed on the walls and pavement , in rude

      characters , ? ' No' Popery , " "No wafer gods , ' "No Catholic humbug , and similar anti-Romanist ex _preBsions . The Guy 8 were received with more than usual welcome by the populace , and the conductors of the several groups found no difficulty in levying handsome " mail" on the passengers . A great many persons assembled about mid-day in tno vicinity of the Catholic cathedral in St George ' sfields ; _Two or three householders , probably apprehensive from the proximity , of their residences to the Romish church that thoy might lie considered followers ofthat faith , " and _thus " ineet with rough treatment , exhibited placards , bearing loyal and anti-Romanist inscriptions . One lusty Protestant , in letters three inches deep , called upon "God to

      preserve Queen Victoria from the Pope and Popery ;" ¦ ¦ another inveighed against the worshi p of "wafer gods ; " and a third expressed his unmitigated contempt for all" Catholic humbug . " About _halfah hour after noon , there issued from the purlieus of Farringdon-markefc into _Fleet-stfeet , a " group of Guys , " which—as well from / - ; their colossal size , as by the amusement and laughter they : occasioned ' ¦ ' on . their progress through the streets—must be fairly pronounced the pageant of the day . This group had evidently been " got up " by some zealous anti-Romanists , regardless of cost . It consisted of about fourteen figures—animate and inanimate—presided over by a colossal Guy , about sixteen feet in height , who elevated in his chariot

      —a van drawn by two horses—was compelled to bow down considerably before he could be made to pass beneath Tcmpje-bar . This pajreant included an animate _^ effigy of the new Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster , attired in the '' . gaud y' canonical robes of the Romish church , and wearing ' the red and broad-brimmed hat appertaining to ' . his office . The cardinal was supported on the right by a _waggiah fellow / habited in the robes of a nun , and upon the left by a jolly fat monk , who leered impudently under his mask at the passers-by . There was also a second figure of a momk looking very lugubriously , and labelled " St ; Guy—the Martyr !' An animate figure , ' holding a brush and a pail ot whitewash , ' inscribed , " Holy water for the peh ' tehtf !"

      A man in barristers' robes , and three or four masks , completed the group . The van bore two large inscriptions , the one "Cardinal St , Impudence going to take possession of his dioceHe in _Westminster ; and the other "Guy Fawkes going to be canonised in St . Georgo ' _s-fields ; " and some smaller ones , such as "No Popery ! " _'< fcc . On its appearance in Fleet-Street this group attracted an immense crowd , wfio greeted it with loud cheers and laughter . ; I Several police officers were in attendance , nnd , accompanying the procession tothe confines of the city , gave to it something of an official character , ' After

      passing through Temple-bar the " cardinal" and the "Guy" were convoyed'through the Strand and _Uovent-garden Market , thence back to the Strand and _Charing-cross , and * after passing up Regentstreet and down Bond-street , returned through Whitehall over Westminster-bridge to St . _Georgesfields , where they arrived shortly after four o ' clock _. Although a greait concourse of persons attended this procession throughout ths whole route _indicated , there was no attempt at disturbance of any kind during the day . The next most imposing " Guy " perambulating the streets was an equestrian effigy —also : of _colossal'size—which confined its

      wanderings to the eastern dretnots of the metropolis , and , like its western prototype , was decompanied by a very great crowd of spectators . Other •' smaller fry" thronged the streets until a . late hour . At seven o clock several thousands of personsassembled in the' Cambridge-heath- _** oad , Bethnal-green , arid the various avenues adjoining , for the purpose of witnessing tbe destruction b y fire of the effigy of Cardinal Wiseman , with those bf the eleven bishops . The piece of ground selected was the Green ,: which was granted for the purpose by Miss Eastman , tlie freeholder . On this space a pile of several loads of faggots , under which were some tar barrels , was placed . The effigy of the cardinal was raised on a stage properly suspended hi the

      centre of the pile , and those of the bishops were attached to the poles . A splendid display ot fireworks followed , a band _playirg the National Anthem , which was enthusiastically responded to . About dusk , notwithstanding the precept from the ' Lord Mayor , some thousand persons took _possession of Tower-hill , and a continuous discharge of pyrotechnics was kept up without the least intermission for several hours . Whilst the fireworki were being let off , a large figure , representing " _HisHoliness" on a donkey , was lead into the ground . The animal wore a cardinal's hat , and round his neck was hun _« a'large bill , on which was printed _'•• ' Wiseman . "

      Several persons , representing " rig htrev , fathers , " walked at the . side of the animal . So great did the crowd at length get that it was found necessary to have a large body of police under Mr . Inspector Todhunter , to preserve something like order , and guard the property of the inhabitants . At Bonner ' s fields the _effigy of the Pope , in his full canonicals , was destroyed in the presence ofan immense number of persons , who testified their approbation by hearty cheers , mingled with cries of "Down with the Pope" and a continuous discharge of fireworks . Atthe Surrey side of the water similar expressions of public -disapprobation were evinced .

      At Richmond the inhabitants showed their disapproval in every conceivable way of the appointment made by the Pope . The discharges of fireworks , and the destruction of the Pope ' B effigy , proceeded with great spirit . At Hampton Court , Kensington , Blackheathpark , Guildford , Godalming , and various other places , there were also anti-Popery demonstrations . Notwithstanding these general expressions of tbe popular feeling , no outrage of any kind appears to have taken place . f At Exeter about £ 30 was raised and devoted to tbe anti-Papist-demonstration . In tlie course ofthe day forty seams of wood were brought into the Cathedral-yard , and piled for the bonfire in the roadway , about eoui-distuit from Broad-cate to the

      western entrance of the ancient edifice . At a _quarter-piist nine o ' clock , a grand procession marched out of tho College , where it had been about an hour and a half in forming . It extended more than 150 yards , and was composed of above 200 persons , in ' , characteristic dresses . First came the bareheaded friars , with torches , of which there were about thict y , and by their li g ht was seen a gridiron , shackles , and thumbscrews , with a placard ' . 'the instruments of torture . " Next came the Inquisitor-General , a gigantic effigy , in sombre habiliments , with a crape mask , symbolical of the office , and by its side two men , similarly attired , as officers of the Holy Inquisition . The chief object of attraction followed , home by men : it w . * is " a

      gorgeous effi gy of Pope Pius IX . in full pontifical robes ; sitting in a chair of stite , two censer hearers preceding : he wore the triple crown , magnificentl y ornamented with a profusion of jewels . A large white shoe was prominent ; , supposed to encase that important functionary , the Pope ' s tbe , or p apal , chamberlain , by whicli the faithful , who liKcd , were introduced to his Holiness , The less _» er star , Dr . _Wincnian , was only divided from the _sovereign pontiff by an immense crosier , and his effigy also was dressed in perfect keeping with his rank ucardinal , the hat and collar and robes included . Behind him twelve _men , dressed in white , with a red cross on each of their backs , and head coverings of a combination of mitre and helmet , significant of the Romish' church being militant , bore each a placard of

      his title ; and although there was no time to read the names , no doubt all the twelve bishoprics were there . Then cume placards and banners ad infinitum , A intervals the _tccnic effect was increased h y some beautiful- coloured lights , red , green , violet , aud purple . Having completed the circuit amid the discharge of rockets , Romati candles , & c , the procession conduced the figures to the bonfire and the Pope and Cardinal bavins been placed back to back on th « summit , whilst , the band played the '' Rogue ' s March , " alight _wns applied , a dischargo of rockets followed , up mounted the flames , consuming the effigies amid the deafening shouts of the beholders . Tho bishops- and the inquisitor-general were then kicked round tbe bonfire , nnd then kicked into it , the band playing * ' God save the Queen . "

Clark , who appeared to bo about fourteen years of age , was brought before . Alderman Gibbi

      in tho custody pf Deady , the officer , charged with having ' robbed a great number of little bovs of bundles of clothes and other property . In moat of the cases tbe goods stolen consisted of articles for which poor washerwomen were responsible , and had been taken from their children when either going to or coming from their customers . The circuml stances excited much interest , and caused a vprv crowded justice-room —Deady having heard that a boy named Bennett , the son of a laundress , wa * robbed near St . Paul ' s a few days ago of a bundle of linen , apprehended the prisoner upon that information , and introduced him on Saturday to Alder . derman Gibbs , who , upon learning tliat upwards of a . 8 cpre . of children had been plundered by him

      remanded biro till Tuesday , and directed the officer to . get together . ; some of his accusers . "Dead y ae . cordingly appeared . at the justice-room , followed by upwards of _twenty'boys , aged from seveh to fourteen years . —Bpnnett ; _ased twelve years ; said , as I was going along near King ' s _Head _^ court , with a bundle of clothes from my mother , who takes ia washing , the prisoner came up . and said he would give me a rabbit . So he took the bundle to put the rabbit in it , and away he slipped downthe court . I went afterwards with the officer to St . Paul'j Churchyard , and pointed out the prisoner to him . —The second boy , eleven years of age , ' was robbed in the following manner : —As the boy was * carrying a bundle of , clothes to "the wash , " the prisoner en .

      tered into conversation with him , asked him whether he would like a rabbit , persuaded him to leave _, the bundle at a shop until his return from the place where the rabbit was waiting , contrived to lead him astray , and then slipped back to the shop ' and applied for and received the clothes , as the brother of the child who Had left them there . —The third boy , ten years of age , was asked by the prisoner in the street to carry a bundle , and consented to do this ior three halfpence . As they walked alon _* . ' the prisoner asked him whether he would like a rabbit , to which ; he replied that his father would riot allow himto keep one . " But what would you think , " said : the prisoner , ¦ of a pair of pi geons' ? " The offer of the pigeons was immediately accepted , and

      fche prisoner , who pointed at a public-house where he said he lived , desired : the boy to wait outside while he should go to his mother for tho bundle and the pigeons , "But , " said ... the prisoner , " where will you put the bird ' s ? " " I have no where to put ' , " replied the boy . " Oh , " cried the prisoner . " your coat will do . Just slip it off , and 77 / fix them in it . " Off the poor childtook his coat , and gave it to the prisoner , who ' went into the publichouse at one door and out at- the other , leaving his victim shivering with the cold ; and , in about a quarter of an hour , trembling with expectation of a sound flogging on reaching home . —The fourth boy was promised a rabbit while carrying a bundle of clothes from "the wash ; " but the prisoner ,

      finding that ; the boy was not worth expending _ingenuity upon , he first induced him to turn down a court to be out of the public gaio , slipped away the bundle from hia arms and suddenly disappeared round the corner . —In the fifth case the prisoner played the " rabbit rig" with a little boy , from whom he took the opportunityof snatching a pair of trousers , not considering that the " swag" wiis worth more trouble . —In the sixth case a boy lost his place in _conquenco of the rascally trick of tbe prisoner , who adopted the " pigeon rig" upon him , took hiin to a public-house when be was carrying bis master ' s coat to a tailor to be button-stitched , left him outside waiting for the pigeons , while the other door afforded the means of escape , and the coat and the

      prisoner disappeared at the same time . The master of the unfortunate dupe would not believe this statement , and , having fears for other property , got rid of him immediately : but , upon finding that the robbery wa ? real , assured , the Alderman that justice should be done . —Deady : I cannot find any « body who knows anything about him . He gave me an address in . Mint-street , which I find to be false . I expect that thirty or forty cases can be proved against him , and , from what I am able to learn , ha is the most cunning and desperate young thief in London . —Alderman Gibbs : I shall remand him for some days , to give you an opportunity of bringing forward other cases , and I dare say some good _flowing may be of service to him .
