      On Thursday evening , 19 th in 9 t . _r , a public meelimr of deleirates from trades , shops , and factories in Glasgow and the West of Scotland , was held in the Democratic Hall , _Xelson-street _, here , for the purpose of taking further steps for protecting the workers of Messrs , Simpson , _Bridgeton , from the invasion of their privileges under the Ten Hours Bill .

      " u- „„« m » m r » n .. " _* _** ' TO THE EDITOR OF THE MAIL . « _gu , _ We noticed in your paper of Tuesday , the 10 th inst ., an article in vindication of the Messrs . Simpsons , uf Bridgeton , in relation to the strike of the self-acting mule workers , concerning their hours of work . Ton state that the circumstances of the case were not correctly stated at the meeting of thc trades . We beg to say that the version you have g iven ofthe _afiair was laid before us ; but the meet * ing 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 ofit , 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 above tho age of eighteen , whatever hours they may think proper . But , Sir , there is not a word in your article of discharging the females and young persons now employed . It is insinuated , and would be considered by those ignorant of the facts , that those females and young persons were not to be discharged , bHt only to be displaced at six 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 might be above the law , now observed by all the respectable _miUowners in the

      country . " Also you state that the hours of adult labour in this country have always been left for personal arrangement . Now , 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 JOU will Bee that the workers were just contending for the very principles 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 conseanence of a pressure of orders , that

      would induce them to work this system . But , Sir , are the _Messrs . Simpsons not in the same position with other honourable and fair-trading merchants ? And as yet we hear of no preparation being made to gieet this anticipated pressure of orders ; and it is v _» ot necessary , neither is it for the heneSt 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 thelittle 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 . "Now , Sir , if you wish to be fully informed on this matter , the committee will he happy to give yon all the information in their power . —We are , sir , your obedient servants , "The Men who Struck . "

      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 Faetory 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 _, tinder these circumstances , he urged upon the delegates present the necessity and importance of using their utmost eiforts to support those who had been thrown out of employment by the Messrs . Simpson , as it was only by doiug so they could prevent the Factory Act from being completely destroyed , and all tbeir past 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 foil benefit ofthe Act intended for the protection of females and young persons . " It was next resolved that a sum of not less than

      one penny per fortnight be paid by _fnery factory worker in the city and neighbourhood , io 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 ihe operative cotton-spinners of the West of Scotland in Paisley on Saturday last , and also the power * loom tenants , with the view of raising funds . A vote of tbauks was tendered to the Chairman , whicb terminated the proceedings .

      Powkr-Loom 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 Scotland , in reference to the strike now going on in Bridgeton , when it was moved , seconded , and unanimously resolved to raise the necessary fuuds 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 .

      Jessy Lind In America.—A Private Letter ...

      Jessy Lind 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 225 dollars ( about £ 40 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 at the outset , to induce tbe pnblic to follow , but at such prices few ofthe verdant school were to be found . The folk here are decidedly mad after Jenny . _ A friend told me he saw a number of men and bays sitting on Stewart ' s new building , opposite the Irving-house , about six p . m ., watching for the Nightingale . On returning about ten thc mob still remained . Two or three ladies were on the

      balcony , but it was coo 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 ladie 3 , after eating a peach , threw the stone over the balcony , when a tremendous rush took place to secure what was presumed to be 3 precious _momsnto of the fair songstress , and a regular street fight nearlv ensued . This my friend tells me he saw , aud it is a fact . Another story freely circulated is , that a glove of Jenny's has heen picked up , and the fortunate finder is charging ( so it is reported ) one shilling for an outside , and two shillings for an inside kiss of the article . The old aphorism , duke est , tzc , will well apply under such circumstances . ' The Sew Eriendlt Societies Act , —The Act

      recently passed to consolidate and amend the laws relating to friendly societies contains fifty-two sections , besides several schedules . It is an important piece of legislation , and was passed , according to the preamole , 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 be transacted or perfected . The objects for which friendly societies may he form *?* 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 aris-Burial Clubs

      ing from " , " from which money was Obtained on the death of children . _Now for a child under ten years no money is to be paid ' except for the actual funeral expenses , and then not exeeding £ 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 w as no reason to attribute death to poison , violence , or criminal neglect , and that to ihe coroner it did not appear that the party had been deprived of life by means of any person beneficially intere sted m obtaining burial money from any society * The Act ib now in force .

      _^ ma _& g _^ _amm LATEST HOME NEWS . TragicalEvent . —York , Thursday . —Two events ofa 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 . The 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 , hut 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 . A ladder was obtained , by which the room was entered and the door unfastened , and on the husband going iuto 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 and a pool of blood on the floor , and a portion of the blood had trickled through the flooring into the room below . Mr . Key worth , surgeon , was

      sent for , but , of course , too late to render the female any assistance . An inquest 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 the same day on the body of a young female named Smith , who had drowned herself . This event happened on the same night . Thc 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 hy 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 how she got into tho water , and therefore a verdict of " Found Drowned " was recorded .

      Murder of a Landlord and Magistrate . —Another murder has been perpetrated in the county of Westmeath , the victim being Mr . Roger North , J . P ., of Kilduff-house , King's County . The following particulars are given in the King ' s County Chronicle : — "Itappears that on Monday afternoon , Mr . North left his residence to go to his farm at Garryduff ; on his return home between four and five o ' clock , when walking alone on the public road at Mountrath , about a quarter of a mile from Rahu 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 the Kilbeggan police . An inquest

      was held on the _bedy by Mr . Marcus Kelly , coroner . Mr . North having been obliged to take proceedings against some tenants , is the reason assigned for his assassination . " Tab Great Fibe is tbe City . —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 inthe ruins of the premises destroyed . The salvage , it is now feared , will not he 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 .

      Child Left is a Railway Carriage , — On a lady and gentleman getting into a first-class carriage on the Greenwich Railway on Wednesday evening , to proeeed 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 immediately given to the inspector , and an injury made , but the party was not to be found . The child was removed to the workhouse . Extensive and _Destructii'i : Fire at Bristol—Avery alarming and destructive fire broke out on Friday morning , at the Grove , near the floating harbour , Bristol , and notwithstanding the efforts used to subdue it , it conld noi be got under until the premises occupied by Mr . Humphreys , corn

      merchant , Messrs . Whitwell and Allward , ship chandlers , Messrs . Smith and Downing , provision merchants , and Mr . E . Reed , sailmaker , had been completely gutted , and considerable damage done to a house in Queen-square , occupied by a person named Bayley , as a lodging and boarding house . The fire broke out at about two o ' clock , on the premises of Messrs . Whitwell and Allward , whose stock , being of a very combustible nature , caused it to burn with great fierceness and rapidity , soon wrapping tho adjacent buildings in flames . The fire continued to rage with unabated fury for many hours , placing the shipping in the floating harbour , among which were many first class vessels ready for sea , in

      jeopardy . Indeed , had the wind been from the northward , some of them would , in all probability , have sustained damage . When the house in Queen-squave caught the inmates were in bed , and many of them had to make their escape in their night clothes . The total damage cannot be estimated at less than £ 6 , 000 . Among the property , either destroyed or greatly injured , were a number of fine paintings by the old masters , belonging to Mr . Gomersall , jun ., tbe comedian , who was a lodger at Air . Bayley ' s house . Mr . Humphreys and Messrs . Smith and Downing were insured . Messrs . Whitwell and Allward partially so ; and Mr . Creed uninsured . The cause ofthe fire is not known .

      Accident at Birkenhead . —On Thursday afternoon a serious accident occurred at the new _ dock works , by which six men -were more or less injured . It appears that the men were emploved m hoisting large blocks of stone by means of a moveable crane or jenny , the stones being placed on trucks for removal to a distant part of the works . While so engaged , one of the stones , a block about six tons weight , proving too heavy , the crane gave way with a heavy crash , falling upon the unfortunate men . One of them had both thighs broken , a second received a fracture of the skull , and a third had his legs very much injured . These were conveyed to the hospital , where they lie in a very dangerous state . The remaining three were cut and bruised about the head and other parts of the body , but their wounds are not considered of a dangerous character . It is said that the accident arose from an imperfection in the crane , which had been out of use for a long time .

      ExTEAORDiNARv Case op Self-Amputation . —On Friday , Mr . W . Baker , coroner , held an inquest at the London Hospital on the bod y of Edward Murry , aged fifteen , who met with his death under the following shocking circumstances : — Charles Dale , sawyer , employed at Hickmoth _' s steam saw mills , Charles-street , Mile-end New-town , said the deceased was employed as a stoker to attend to the fire of the steam-engine , which is a considerable distance from the machinery . On Saturday , the 14 th inst ., shortly before one o ' clock , witness was removing some timber from the saws which were in motion to the other end of tho building . He had been absent two or three minutes when he was alarmed by a piercing shriek , and on hastening to the spot he found the deceased lying close to the

      saws in an insensible state , his left arm completely cut through between the shoulder and elbow joint , and only adhering by a small piece of skin . He had him removed immediately to the hospital . The deceased had no business at that spot , and he had frequently chastised him for playing with the saws . After the accident he picked up a small piece of wood , partly sawn through , which deceased admitted he was playing with when the action of the machinery was too strong for him , and he was pulled over it , his left arm falling across the working saw . —Mr . Mountford , house surgeon , stated that the left arm was cut through as clean as if it had been amputated scientifically . The deceased went on very well for somo days when fever supervened , which caused his death on Wednesday . Verdict , "Accidental death . "

      Poisoning by Lead . —Mi * . 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 immemorially used by the inhabitants of a village on its banks , became impregnated with the refuse ofa lead mine , and the consequences were indigestion , loss of appetite and flesh , and colic . On analysis , tbe water was found to contain only 1 , 500 , 000 th part ef carbonate of lead , or one grain in nine gallons . The Poole Election , on Wednesday last , terminated in the triumph of the Free Trade candidate , the numbers being—Seymour , 188 ; Savage , 167 > majority for Seymour , 21 .

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

      MANSION-HOUSE . —A Strange _CASBo-An immense crowd of persons assembled opposite to the door at which persons charged with offences usually enter for examination in the justice-room , oil 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 in a light cotton gown with stripes , and a straw bonnet , and certainly had a most feminine appearance . —Alderman Gibbs ( to the 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 tha 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 imputationI then handed him over to the searcher ,

      , who intimated the fact of hia sex . During the last week I have seen him about nine in the evening till about one or two in the 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 Dearly six months , always dressed as a woman . Within the last fortnight I have seen a man in his company . The prisoner walked tne 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 ofthe beard , that I was speaking to a man , and as soon as I saw a metropolitan policeman I 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 ofthe 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 broug ht mo over was to have seen mc back again , but he is gone away without me , and I never could get any place . He amuriua

      promised positively to take me oacK w ¦ , but he never did so . I was _* a slave in America , and 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 . Stealisg 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 ne was a long time gone , and I went to make inquiries and received some information from Mr . Ive about the prisoner , who did not return . —Policeman 215 M : I took the prisoner into custod y , 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 . —Violest Assault . —Julia Bi _* _psnahan was placed at the bar , before Mr . Alderman Finnis , charged with violently assaulting John Cliich , an engineer , residing in Brooke ' s Market , Holborn , with a quart pot , with intent to do him some serious bodily injury . —The prosecutor stated that between one and two o ' clock on Wednesday morning ho was in the Noah's Ark public-house , in Shoe-lane , drinking with somo friends , when prisoner asked him to treat her to a little drop of gin . On his refusing to accede to her request , she seized hold of what he believed was a quart pot , and struck hiin several severe blows on the head , inflicting two very extensive wounds ; one was a deep incision over the right temple , and the other a most

      frightful gash over tho left eye . In a very short space of time he was completely covered wiih blood which flowed rapidly from the wounds . He wa 3 taken to the hospital , where ho was immediately attended to . Prisoner ran towards the back portion of the premises , and he did not see her again until tho 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 complainant 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 ho

      was sure she must be on the premises ,-for she had not left the house . " He then searched the house , and , after some trouble , he found hev secreting herself behind tbe door of tho 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 , aud that was the reason she assaulted him , but it was not with a quart pot that the wounds on his head were inflicted , but with a tumbler , which she broke over his head . —Alderman Finnis then directed tho inspector to see that a summons was taken out

      * - -- -- .... .. ilH l against the landlord of the Noah ' s Ark for keeping a disorderly house . He said tho assault committed by the prisoner , whether the instrument used was a quart pot or a glass , was excessively brutal and unprovoked . He would therefore fine her 40 s ., 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 tbe time of the disturbance . — Alderman Finnis immediately 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 . —Defrauding 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 of tea and a pound of loaf sugar , and obtained change for a sovereign . Whon the change was given they took exception to the price of the sugar , refused to take the things , and got the sovereign back . They then changed their mind again , and offered to take tho goods upon the tradesmen returning the change with the coeds

      They then asked for some other small articles to divert the attention of the shopkeeper , and having paid for the latter they carried away the goods the change , and also the sovereign ; and since their commitment for re-examination several communications have reached the magistrate 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 the change for a sovereign , played off the usual triok of returning the goods and ultimately taking them , and whon asked for the sovereign all three women

      used the most solemn asseverations that he had taken it up . He ( Mr . Gannon ) felt morally certain he had heen " done" at the time , but he still submitted to it , and on counting his cash at night he was satisfied he had been swindled . In about six months after tho 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-streefc and fetch a constable . Tho prisoners assured him he was much mistaken in their

      character , and begged he would not give 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 by 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 youne men journeymen carpenters , who had always borne good characters , and were in excellent employment ; but

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

      the present inquiry has disclosed the fact that tbe prisoners had been married from a house of ill-fame , where they had resided for some years before . —The prisoners were fully committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court on four charges . SOUTHWARK . —A Heartless Scoundrel . — D . 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'Donnell , between seven and eight years of age , the daughter of a man _ in the same employment . —Mr . Binns attended for tne prisoner . Tne prisoner and the father of the little ffirl had for some vears worked together in a _tannUcant _inrtnW

      yard at Bermondsey , and on Saturday last the former went to lodge at the house of the latter , who is a widower , occupying with his three children a small tenement in Noah ' s Ark-lane , Bankside . There were two beds in one of the rooms , in one of which the prisoner slept with the father of the children , while the latter occupied the second . On Sunday night O'Donnell and his 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 her in a room helow waiting the arrival of her father . The

      prisoner , however , 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 of the prisoner's brutal treatment ofthe 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 prisoner 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 entreated the father to let him remain there until the morning , and that he would then explain all . O'Donnell , however , waa 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 , ho 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 .

      Assault on a Warrant Officer . —T . W . Parmenter was charged with committing a violent asault on the officer who apprehended him . —Winch informed tho magistrate that some time ago the prisoner was ordered to pay 2 s . 6 d . a week towards the support of an illegitimate child . He , however , refused to pay tho stipulated sum , and warrants were granted against him . 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 onhis legs and arms . The prisoner then ran away , but witness pursued him , and succeeded in recapturing him . In defence the 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- tea days . He must be further committed for a month for neglecting to pay the order .

      BOW-STREET . —Robbery by a _SERVANi-John Burlett , a potman in the service of Messrs . Moore and Locklin , landlords of the Duke on Horseback public-houso in Holland-street , Blackfriars-road , was charged with stealing a cash-box , tho property of his employers . —The prisoner was met by 30 F on Sunday morning , the 15 th instant , passing Temple-har , going westward witli 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 £ 13 103 . 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 . The

      prisoner was fully committed fov trial . Assaults on _inB Police . —Thomas Miller , salesman in Covent-garden market , Thomas Hewson his nephew , and Rose Symonds , were charged with several violent assaults on the police . Constable F 94 said that ho saw Hewson and tho young 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 Hewson , 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 tho place . They succeeded , but witness returned with a brother constable , F 130 , and , having regained possession of his staff , proceeded to tako 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 tho affray , but ho could not say by whom . Witness struck Miller a smart blow with his staff , and eventually he went willingly to the police-station . Tlie defence of Hewson and the

      g irl 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 Mi _* b . 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 thoso witnesses declared that they had not such a thing as a ' rolling-pin" in the house , but had always had to borrow one . —Mr . Jardine

      believed the statement of the constables , and was resolved te protect them in the fair execution of their duties . He fined Miller £ 3 , and Hewson £ 1 , Tbe girl was discharged . Cowardly Assault by a Soldier . —T . 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 g ht as she was returning home with a female friend along _Chandos-streot , 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 hands , he struck her a tremendous blow upon the side ofher 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 hev several violent blows upon the breast as fast as he could , from the effects ot 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 tbe 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 tho 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 ono month in tho House of Correction , The prisoner was removed in the van .

      Assault on tue 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 disorderly mob had collected in consequence . The police _interfered , and the wrath of both persons was instantly turned against the officers , who wero 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 tho houses the mob by whom they were surrounded . Eventually , by the arrival of other officers , the two prisoners were lodged 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 bis wife and two children . Mr .

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

      stated that the prisoner was convioted of the same offence three or four years ago , and underwent a term of imprisonment . Soon afterwards , however , he again deserted her , and went into the oountry 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 delioate health , stated that she was the prisoner ' s wife . He deserted her without any oause or intimation of bis intention , and she never heard from him during his absence . She had two little girls , tho issue of their marriage to support . —Peterkin , a warrant officer , attached to the

      court ) Stated his belief , from what he had heard , that the prisone _** had married another woman in the name of Robinson , with whom he was living in lodgings in London when the warrant was seryed upon him . Mrs . Wadman , he believed , had seen the certificate of the 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 the prisoner because her husband ( Robinson ) had deserted her . She knew nothing of Robinson now , and could not tell where he 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 , wbo cried bitterly during the examination of the witness . Mrs . Robinson added , that before she was deserted b y 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 Pe-. terkin , 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 oat , if time were granted to procure the witnesses to the second marriage . —Mr . Henry would give every opportunity foi * 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 bim £ 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 .

      MARYLEBONE . —Caution to Railway Passengers . —Mr . A . Shever , jun ., a draper residing at Cheltenham , was charged by Mr . Collard , surpeintendent of the Great Western Railway Company ' s police , with haying , by throwing a glass bottle out ofthe carriage in which he was riding , inflicted injury ofan alarming 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 be 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 let you depart without good security for

      youv 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 the 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 reply to the Magistrate , Mr . Collard said that he had obtained a certificate from 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 cure 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 ono of the rooms at tho station . He was subsequently carried to the house of a surgeon in Wantage-road , by whom the wounds which had been inflicted upon him were dressed . — -Mr . Collard produced sundry pieces of glass which had been picked up at the spot ; and his opinion was , judging from the pieces in 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 understeod that in the event of the magistrates in the part of the country where the offence was committed holding ad interim their sittings , Mr , Cellard should give notice to the hail in order to insure the attendance of the accused . The defendant and his friends then left the court .

      MARLBOROUGH-STREET .-RoBBERY .-Geo . Burton was placed at the bar charged with stealing seventeen silver forks , value £ 17 ., the property of Messrs . Thomas and Son , silversmiths , 153 , New Bond-street . —Mr . Francis Boone Thomas stated that about a quarter to six o ' clock on Saturday evening last Jbe was sitting in the shop , when he heard a smash at the window , and on turning round he saw the prisoner ' s hand grasping some forks . Witness immediately ran out and secured the prisoner as he was in the act of walking away with seventeen silver spoons in his possession . Witness detained him until a constable

      arrived , when he gave him into custody . —The prisoner , in defence , said he was starving , and took the spoons for the purpose of obtaining the shelter of a prison . —Mr . Hardwick committed him for trial , Combination . —J . Carnegie and G . Pigott was charged with having assaulted William , Alier , German . —The parties are all journeymen in the employ of Messrs . Erard and Co ., pianoforte and harp makers , whose principal manufactory is in Paris , but who have a branch establisment in Great _Malborough-street . An association has heen formed among the workmen , British and foreign , for the purpose of preventing a reduction of the usual rate of wages . An attempt has been recently made to effect a reduction in the price of work , principally through the introduction of foreign artisans , the

      majority of whom are Germans . This has caused considerable ill feeling , and the following assault roso out of tho existing state of things . —The complainant , a German , said on Saturday last he was in a coffee-shop in Blenheim-street , when the defendant Carnegie and two others camo in , and Carnegie said—Here is that — German , and immediately struck him on the chest , Complainant called the landlord to his assistance ; and ongoing into the yard he was assaulted by _Tigott , who also struck bim . In reply to a question the complainant said it was jealousy on the part of the defendant because he was a German that made them act in this violent way towards him . —Mr . Bazard , the

      manager , after alluding to tho combination which existed among the journeymen , intimated that he had no desire to press the charge ; he only wanted to convince the men of the folly and ille _» alitv of their conduct .-The defendant stated that Alier had joined their society , but afterwards in an underhanded way had introduced two of his countrvmen to work at lower wages .-Mr . Hardwick said combination of workmen against employers were not to be tolerated . The men had a right to seek to maintain a hi gh rate of wages but _iemasteis Si ?

The other three , of whieh no accounts are sent , are the True . love , Abram , the Ann , of Hull , It would appear there had only been a partial opening in the barner , which had again shut , and prevented the lasfc mentioned vessels from getting through . Thosa that have got through will have a good chance No mention is made of the vessels sent out in search of Sir John Franklin , except the two American s 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 woba . bly have been seen by the whalers .

      A Lionebs for thb Queen . — Among the pas . _sengers by the Madrid , whioh arrived on Monday at Southampton with the Peninsular mail , was a fine young lioness , about a twelvemonth old , from Lisbon , and which has arrived in this country as a present from the Queen of Portugal to the Queen of England . The lioness was in a large caga on deok , and was so tame that its keeper used to go into the cage during the voyage to play and wrestle with the animal . Foreion-Opfice , Sept . 23 . —The Queen has been pleased to appoint Daniel O'Connell , Esq ., to be Her Majesty ' s Consul at Para .

On SuRday and Saturday the arrival of homeward ships that had been detained in the Channel wind-bound , some for threg weeks , were equally numerous .

Great Western _Railwav . —On Monday the excursion train from Oxford and Banbury brought 1 , 000 persons up to Paddington . The one out of London on Sunday took 1 , 200 and returned with them in safety .

      Clerkship of me House of Commons . —It is understood that Sir Denis Le Marchant will succeed the late Mi * . Ley as Clerk of the House of Commons , on a reduced salary of £ 2 , 000 per annum . Mr , Booth , the examiner of recognisances , and counsel to the Speaker , is likely to succeed Sir Denis Le Marchant as legal secretary to the Board of Trade . Mr . Booth ' s office will be abolished . These changes will cause a considerable saving . Mr . Paine , who says that he can extract gas from water , is spoken of by one of the American papers as " the gentleman who has discovered the process by which you may light your pipe at a pump . " The Duke of Cambridge ' s " monument commit _, tee" declare in their prospectus that " the whole life and fortune of the deceased were devoted to the protection and affectionate care of the sick and the afflicted . " What an extravaganza !

      Fatal Termination of a Sham Fight . —A letter from Cologne ofthe 19 th , inthe Independence Beige says— "The _man-ceuvres of the troops collected here terminated yesterday by a sham fight . The 18 th . Regiment , 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 fch 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 Dietz , formerly the editor of an opposition journal , An investigation has been ordered , but it is noi likely that it will be attended with any result .
