Worthington , brother tothe complainant , stated that the defendant committed the assault upon tlie complainant ' s _refusal to do any business with him . —The _defendant declared that hc had treated the complainant with the indignity _described , because the provocation given was one of the most insupportable insults . The complainant had , without rhyme ov reason , applied the name of scamp" to liim , and the act complained of naturally followed such a description . —The Lord Mayor said the assault was clearly proved , ami he should hold the defendant to bail in the amount of i 20 to answer

Tcesdat . —Shocking Hkpbavitv . —Caroline Evans , a housemaid at Buckingham Palace , was finally examined , and fully committed Ior trial on tliree separate charge- " _» f felony . The robbery at the Palace was established at the _previous examination . Evidence was _iion-g jrcn to show that , in September last , after the prisoner had called upon s _sisier living in the service of a gentleman residing at St . _John's-wood , a silver spoon was missed from thu house . Since _thi prisoner ' s apprehension it was discovered that it was pledged by lier at a pawnbroker ' s shop in CamberivelL The third charge was of precisely tlie same hind : the prosec tor , Sir . Wilkinson , a Mirgeun , of Southampton-terrace , Peutouville , having missed two silver spouiis

      _* fter one of the prisoner ' s visits to her sister then in his terrice . Tliis property was also found at a pawnbroker ' s . In the latter case the sister , who was deeply aft ' ected daring- her examination , attributed _llfr dismissal from the prosecutor ' s _emr-U _^ to t \ w . _luss of the spoons ; hut when _Jlfr . Wilkinson stepped forward and denied the assertion in thc most positirc term .- * , declaring that he never suspected her . and that lier discharge , at the time in . jutsiimi _, was iu consequence of her ill-health , thc poor girl retracted htr statement . Mr . Wilkinson , however , did not explain away the fact that , upon tha dismissal of the sister , the value of the s ;« xms was deducted from her wages . It is due to that gentleman to add that the money was repaid to hrr when he considered that her innocence was _established hy the late disclosures respecting her relative , the prisoner .

      Thursday . —A Swindler . —A young man , of respectable appearance , named Richard ilollcbonc Martin , who had been brought from _Marlboroughstrcet 0 frice , where hc had been _arraigned on a charge uf swindling , was placed at thc bar , before Ilr .

IS , Cornlnll , stated that on thc Sth instant the prisoner called at his shop and selected . considerable quantity of goods , which hc directed should be sent to his lodgings in Craven-street . Strand , and in tlie course of the day ;> n assistant was sent with tliem , to whom strict orders were given not to part with any ofthe property without thc money ; and , on his arriving at the house , the prisoner told

      hiai he would require other articles , by wliich mraus he induced thc young man to accept a cheek for the amount , which turned out to be a forgery . Joseph Pamplin said , tbat in accordance with the orders he received from the last witness he took home the _£ oods , aud on the prisoner _wanting him _toleaye them without the money , be said hehad received strict directions to bring back the money or the goods , and theprisoner then wrote the cheque produced upon _Cali's bank , which lie took back to his employer . 3 Ir . Taylor said that he sent the cheque lo be presented two days after he received it , and thc answer was that the prisoner was not known there ; and , moreover , that another forged cheque had lately bpen _presente-l at the bank in thc same name . Thc Prisoner was _remandotl .

      " . VOHSIIIP-STfiEET . _JXIoshas . —Stacking . —A . young man r . _amed Charles Gibson , described as a sawyer , was placed at the bar , before -Mr Broughton , on the charge of stabbing a man -named Moses Isaacs , who was not now present , and also with cutting aud wounding the police-constable who had taken him iuto custody . Police-constable Davis , II SO , whose upper lip was covered with adhesive plaster , stated that while on duty iu Kcatc-strcet , _-S-iituilkMs , nt one *» _Voch that morning , he saw the prisoner engaged in a vh _. _U-nt _struggle with the man Isaacs , who called loudly for assistance , and exclaimed that he had been stabbed with some sharp instrument . Witness instantly hastened tu the spot , and _obserriuga stream of blood _xushingfroni the uu-e of Isaacs , he attempted to seize the prisoner , when the latter made a Wow tit htm , whicli disabled trim

      in a _m-. nient , and he found that the bach of his hand had heen laid open to tlie bone . Witness then attempted , to secure him with tlie other hand , when the prisoner made a sudden blow at his face , and he felt liis upper lip completely CUt through with some sharp weapon , which struck violently against his teeth and filled his mouth with blood . _i'intU .-i _^ that he was unable , from thc injuries hc had received , to retain his hold of thepri .- _* oiier , the complainant , Isaacs , took the rattle from his pocket and sprung it , but before any assistance could lie procured the pr isoner had succeeded i \\ < i \ % xim % Ms escape . Sergeant llavhcr and _iiilicr officers shortly afterwards came up , and after an active pursuit thc prisoner was traced to a coffee-house ia Sortoa-Fulgate , aud taken into custody , but no kui _* * e or «! h _? r instrument was then found in his possession . A _certificate was handed to the bench from ilr . Meeres . the

      -iivisional ] mlico surgeon , which * t < ited that the uiticcr __» ad received a wound through the upper lip , penetrating into the mouth , which had evidently been inllicted with ionic cuttiug instrument , and that he had also sustained a second wound upon the hand , inflicted apparently with the same _wc-apon . Tu answer to the charge , the prisoner said that a quarrel having arisen between himself and his friend Isaacs , the policeman had most unnecessarily interfered ; and although he admitted having struck him several times . with his list , he positively denied having made use ofa knife or anv other weapon of that description _, ilr . JBroushlon said that he should commit the prisoner for _euilillgailil Hv _. aji . _linjr lhe policeman , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm ; aud should issue a summons to compel the attendance of the mau Isaacs , on whose appcarauce the depositions wou'd be taken for his fiual committal to _Newgate on both _eharges .

Ynnn , who appeared forthe prisoner-, _addressed " _llic magistrate on behalf of his client , and said that , as the prosecutor was now cntir . ly out of danger , and fast progressing towards recovery , he hoped the latter would be permitted to forego the _prosecstion , ta which course he had himself assented , on condition that he received an adequate compensation for

      the suff . _'rini : s hc had undergone . Jfr . Combe said that he could not for a moment listen to the _proposed arrangement , as hc was bound to consider thc _interests ofthe public , which required that such wanton and serious mischief as the prisoner had inflicted should be stringently dealt with . Jir . Vann then applied for thc liberation of thc prisoner upon bail , wliich his friends were prepared to tender to any aniouut that might be required , but thc application was positively refused . The depositions were _accovdvngly tak * e * ft arid the prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial .

Hrougliton , charged , at the instance of the authorities of St . Luke , with luring deserted his wite und five children , who had _iicen upwards of two -years char _^ eahlc to that parish . The prisoner ' s wife , a woman of very lady-like address and deportment , stated tbat her husband had fora length of time held a _comiucrcial appointment in the city , at a _salaiy of £ 200 per annum , and that they had lived together in comfort and happiness -until about two years and a half ago , when she discovered that he had formed a clandestine intimacy with a wnman of abandoned character . About a week

      after the fact had come to her _knowledge , the prisoner suddenly left home under pretence of being called into the country upon urgent business , and she had never sines eithcrseen or heard of him until thev had met that day in . court , _llavins no friends to appiy to for assistance , herself and children were reduced to the utmost distress ; and they were at length reluctantly compelled to throw themselves upon the parish , hy which they had been entirel y supported for thc last two years . Charles Garner , a * parish beadle , stated that siuce the prisoner had _absconded every effort had been made to trace his retreat , but witliout success , until about a week ago , wiicn it was ascertained that he had established himself in business in

      Exeter , where he was living under the assumed name of Brown , in cohabitation with the woman with whom he had eloped . Witness accordingly proceeded to that place with a warrant for life _appreliesis-iun , and on his arrival was directed to a _well-stocked mercer ' s fihep , wiih the name * ' Brown" inscribed over the trout ; and after waiting some time the prisoner made _" _« s appearance with a quantity of goods he had just p urchased . Thc witness immediately _addressed bim ui - _JSr- n , an _\*> _A" } _char-ed lum with abandoning _vM-ir _™ _- } - l .

      _positive as to his identity , that he at once took the prisoner into ' custody , ' and brought him to town , when he was immediately recognised as the person who had absconded . Air . Broughton committed the prisoner as a " rogue and vagabond" to the House of _CoiTCJ-tion for one month's hard labour . The _magistrate added , that at the expiration of that period , the parish authorities might still proceed against the prisoner for thc amount of their claims .

      _JMAULBOROUGII STIIEET . _TllDBSDAT- —A JlillUMv Didou-r . —Robert Martin , a stilish young gentleman , was charged with obtainill" goods under fraudulent pretences from a number of West-end tradesmen . Mr . Wm . Henry Martin , whip and umbrella maker , Burlington Arcade , said that the defendant called at his shop in September , and conducted himself so as to impress him with the belief that he was a distinguished member ofthe sporting circles , lie ordered a tandem whip , a hunting whip , two canes , and a parasol , to be sent to his apartments in _Uans-placc , Chelsea , on approbation . The goods were left - , but when a call was made to ascertain if they suited , it was discovered tbat the

      customer and goods had vanished . Complainant discovered that a portion of his goods had been pledged at llochfort ' s , a pawnbroker in the district . Mr . " Hardwick replied that the law did not reach the present case . Morally , the defendant might have swindled the coniplainant out of his properly ; but legally , it was a debt . As it was stated that many other charges of the same sort could be produced , several otlier tradesmen were examined , but their cases possessing similar features , met , of course with the same liite . Mr . Hardwick was informed there were also charges of passing forged checks against the prisoner . These , however , being within thc Bon-street district , the prisoner was remanded to that court .

      SOUTnWAKK . Tcesdat . — Juvenilis Df . _veavity . —Mary Benson , a girl thirteen years ot age , was brought before Jir . Jeremy ( who sit for Mr . Trail ) , charged with _robbing her father , and abscondiu ;; from home . The cumplainaut stated thai lie hail occasion to bring his daughter to a police-court before for plundering hiin , aud that , through thcinterces . sion of Mr . Cottingham , she was admitted into an asylum for the reformation of juvenile offenders at Tottenham , instead of being ssnt for trial . She , however , hnd not been Ions there when she effected her escape l > _y climbing over a high wall at the rear of the premises , and since thon had joined a number of her dissolute companions , with whom she had been leading au abandoned lite . She afterwards returned home , but she had been there scarcely

      twenty-four hours when she absconded , taking with her ail her clothes , and had been away eight days when he at length traced her , and brought her up to this court , as he could do nothing witli her . The magistrate said it ivould be a wiste of words to endeavour to make any impression on such a heartless girl , that as the articles she was charged with stealing were the _garments she bad on her Ut the time of abscimdiinr , thc lather could not proceed against htr criminally for the act , and therefore must give her another trial and take her home . Tho poor lather said he was a hardworking nian . and that the prisoncr would take advantage of his absence , and leave borne in spite of her mother , who was laid on a bed of sickness , owing to her anxiety of mind about her unhappy daughter .

      LAMBETH . Mosdat . —The Bashing _Victijiizek . —Mrs . Ellen _I . avier , « Kaj Evans , uh _' _iw Edwards , who has been in custody for several days on a charge of victimising several surgeons in the vicinity of Clapham , as well as in other parts ofthe metropolis , was brought before Mr , Henry for final examination . _ In addition to the cases already taUcn against the prisoner , the following witnesses were called : — Miss Aim Cochrane , an assistant to Miss iticiianls , who keeps a lace warehouse , 158 , Cheapside , deposed that early in the month of April last the prisoner drove up to the shop in a cab , and on entering inquired for . Miss Itichards . She ( witness ) told her that Miss Itichards nas then enraged , but that as soon as She was _disengaged she should sec her . She then Said SllC WHS going out of town by the Layton coach , and feared she

      should be too late if she stopped anytime , and that having unfortunately forgotten her purse , she called to ask Miss liichards , whokneiv her , for 3 s . to pay hercab hire . Witness ashed llliat name she should give tu Miss _Iiieli'U'ds , and theprisoner replied , ' Miss Evans , Grove House , " and she sent one of the young persons in the shop to Miss liichards . The answer returned from Miss Hichurds was , that she kneiv no person of ilie name of Evans , cf Grove _House , and therefore could not give any money . The pri . soucr , upon hearing this , expressed mtu-h astonishment , said she was sure that if Miss liichards saw her she would at once comply with her reipuost , and exprosed a wish to see htr . Her manner was So urgent , that a second _message wasseilttO Miss Itieharik _. _blitthelatterperemptorily refused to give any money . The prisoner then stated that she was sure if the pretty-looking young woman was then iu thc shop who used to serve there she would at once have given her'the money , and described a young woman who had previously lived there so accurately , that witness

      thought her representations were correct , and also fancied Miss liichards might have known and forgotten her . Under this impression , and influenced by the highly respectable appearance of the prisoner , she ( witness ) save theprisoner 3 s ., one of which she had to borrow from her felloiv-shopwoman . Miss Margaret Clayton , nn assistant to Miss Itichards , corroborated the whole of the evidence ofthe last witness and said she had lent a shilling to Miss Cochrane to give to the prisoner . Miss l _' riscilla liichards declared she had never , to her knowledge , seen the prisoner before that day , and that she never had a customer , _i ; vr liad she been acqiiaintod with , a Miss Evans , of dove _UvKise . This concluded the evidence against the prisoner , and Mr . Henry committed her to Newgate , to take her trial - . it the Central Criminal Court , upon the distinct charges of fraud aud obtaining money by false representations . The prisoner , who is considerably altered since her apprehension , on hearing the decision of the magistrate dropped iii the dock , and was obliged to be carried out of court .

Mr . Charles Shaw , a solicitor , residing at Xo . 11 , Terrace , _VTuhvorth-road , deposed that tlie _priSOlll-r Mary Cumming had been in his service , but had been succeeded by her sister Caroline , about ten years ago , when she ( Mary ) ivas strictly forbidden ever coming near the house again . Some months ago a lad y , a friend of his , being about to travel , had placed in his ( Mr . Shaw ' s ) cliarge a chest full of p late - , and the chest , being locked and corded , was placed under his bed in his bed-chamber . On Tuesday Jast , the lady returning , dined at his house , and having expressed an anxiety to wear a portioii of the jewellery in the- box on the following Tuesday , the servant , Caroline , was desired by Mrs . Shaw , on Monday , to take the box from underneath the bed , when it was found that the lock was

      broken , and the box itself perfectly empty . This circumstance led to his ( Mr . Shaw ) making an examination of his own plate , when lie also discovered that a quantity of it , together with a gold watch , and otlier articles of jewellery , were gone . Since that time the nineteen duplicates he then produced were found , all relating to plate and jewellery belonging to himself and the lady he had _befurc _. mentioncd . A shopman iu the service of Mr . Turner , a pawnbroker in the _Walworth-road , produced a gold watch , and various articles of plate , which had been pledged by the prisoner Mary Cumming . The witnees said that prisoner was well known at his master's shop , she having been in Ilie habit for more than two years past of pledging various articles of plate and jewellery , which she represented to belong to her uncle on the Terrace . She had also been in the habit of taking some articles out and pledging others . The prisoners , who declined saying anythiii _^ m defence , were , as requested by the prosecutor , remanded to a future day .

When the shopman disturbed him he ran oftj pnrsucd by Miss Jones ' s dog , who captured him , and held him fast until the shopman came up . —The prisoner made no defence , and was committed for two month ; , with hard labour .

      THAMES . Fbiday . —A Cbimpiso Committee . —William Pieldgate , a lodging-house keeper for sailors , and a dealer iu tilth * advance notes , was charged with stealing a suit of clothe . * - , the property of a Jersey lad . The case , in all its phases , showed the impositions to which seamen arc at present liable from the parties with whom they have to deal during tlieir short adjourns ashore . It appeared from the evidence , that on Saturday three weeks the prosecutor left the Jersey Lass , and went to lodge with the prisoner , at 41 , Lower Grove-street , St . George-in-the-East , taking his kit with him . He staid there three weeks and two days , during wliich time he gave the prisoner the whole balance of his wages , amounting to £ 1 1 "* . Od ., and an advance note for — OS ., Which lie re _» ccired on joining another vessel called the Cumberland .

      when Ins bag was sent on board the Cumberland , he missed the suit of clothes for which the prisoner had paid Is . _G'L OUt Of the money advanced l _. y the prosecutor . He asked the prisoner for them on Sunday , when the latter said he had pawned them for 14 s ., alleging that the £ 4 17 s . fid . cash , and thc _advance note fov £ -1 5 s ., did not make them square as to the clothes , diet , and _lodging . On Thursday evening again the prosecutor demanded his clothes , hut the prisoner , who was standing at his door , which was elevated hy two steps , gave him a kick in the mouth . He was then given to a constable on thepresent charge . —Mr . Pelham , who appeared for the defence , said , if , as he would call evidence to prove , liis client had taken the clothes , the case was the same as if a landlord distrained for rent . —Mr . Ballantine : Not

      exactly , for in this case jour client has broken bulk and pawned the articles . In any case which looks like a felony , where these lodging-house-keepers are concerned , I shall certainly send it for trial . A law will soon come iuto operation which will act as some check upon them , bv co mpelling them to take out licences . —The fact of pawning wa 3 fullv proved against the prisoner , who was fnlly committed for trial . The tailor who sold the clothes ( not worth £ _* . _' ) for £ 4 ( is . then presented himself , and asked to have evidence heard for the prisoner ; but Mr . Ballantine told him a jury must determine the merits of thc case . The prisoner was then removed , with permission to put in bail , himself in _i- 'SO , and two sureties of £ 40 each .

The prisoner , who was elegantly dressed , upon being placed in the felon ' s dock , appeared excessively " affected , and during the trial was seized with such violent fits of hysterics that it required the united exertions of three of the prison keepers , and two of the female attendants , to control her . Her screams and sufferings were of a _ptiiwful chavatter _, and caused a deep sympathy iii the court . Mr . Lcll vivas engaged for tbe prosecution , and Mr . Ba « Iey fur the detenec . The former gentleman stated the ease to the jury , the brief facts of which were these ;—On Wednesday afternoon , the Sth inst , the prisoner and two others set out from her residence iu

On reaching Blackfriars-bridgc the pony tumbled with the prisoner , and was no severely injured that tliey put it up to livery at the Horse and Leaping-bar in the Black friars-road . The prisoner being a good deal alarmed and shaken by the fall , called for a bottle of sherry at the llovso and Lcaping-bar Tavern , and she and her friends having finished its contents , started for Norwood in a gig . Ou arriving atthe King ' s Head Inn they desired thc ostler fopuc up the horse , and requested to be shown to a private room . This was done b y the chambermaid and they called for half a pint of gin . Thoy remained there for three quarters of an hour , when tliey left , as they said , to have their fortunes told by a well-known gipsey in that neighbourhood . On returning to the inn they were shown into the ordinary parlour on the ground floor , WllCIl tliey called for a second half-pint of gin . Sonic time after

      Mrs . Mablcy , the landlady , fancied she heard some noise on the stairs , and immediately ' after observed the prisoner come down stairs , and go out at thc front door . She suspected all was not right , and instantly rushed up stairs , when she missed from the drawers in her bed room four pieces of satin which she had placed there in the morning with a piece of paper over them . On making this discovery , Mrs . Mabley sent her pot-boy first , and then her 'daughter , to bring the prisoner back , and upon being told the landlady wished to sneak to her , she threw the pieces of satin in the ditch . On her returning to the inn , she was met by a policeman , who accused her of stealing the pieces of satin , and her reply was , that if she stole it she must have been dreaming at the time . The jury found _tfte prisoner Guilty , recommending hoi' to the mercy of thc court . The chairman sentenced her to twentyeight days solitary confinement iii . Horseiiiongcr-laiie Gaol .

      The Factory Question. Bolton, Oct. 21.—A...

      THE FACTORY QUESTION . Bolton , Oct . 21 . —A very numerous meeting of thc factory operatives of this district was held nt the Swim Hotel , for the purpose of presenting an address to Lord Ashley , M . F ., for his zealous exertions to shorten the hours of labour in factories . The noble Lord , was enthusiastically cheered upon his entrance into the room . Mr . J . Gregory , a spinner , who presided , briefly ., exr plained the object of the meeting . Mr . Turner , after a . very neat and appropriate speech , proceeded to read thc address , whieh , after rel ' eilng iu grateful terms to the noble Lord ' s humane , disinterested ; and persevering eflbrts in behalf of the whole body of factory operatives , expressed a eontident hope that those _eiTorts would he eventually crowned with success . Mr . J _llobl'rtS having seconded the address , it was carried by acclamation .

      Lord Ashley , in reply , observed , that much as he valued that unaffected approval of his humble efforts , it was still more gratifying to him to find that the factory people Were resolved to persevere in their most righteous cause , manifesting at the same time a conciliatory course of conduct towards their employers . He would take that opportunity of explaining to the meeting why it had been thought _unadvisable to introduce thc question to rarlhmeiit during the _Lut session , it would i > e recollected , that in 1844 he had attempted to get thc insertion of a clause iuto the Government measure , the effect of which clause would have been to limit the hours of labour to ten . He had contended fov that with much earnestness , bat had been defeated after two divisions . In thc succeeding session , he had not met with thu support he had anticipated . On the contrary , he found ti

      great deal of reluctance amongst members , of all shades of opinion , to allow the ten hours' clause to be inserted , until , as it was said , the bill had a fair trial . However , in another session the same impediments would not be presented , not at least to the same extent . He had good hopes that they would ultimately succeed . The noble lord then proceeded to reiterate bis opinion on the Ton _Honrs * question , as set forth by him at the preceding meeting at Manchester , a report of which appeared in this paper last week . The noble lord concluded his speech as follows : —Great efforts had been lately mndu to improve the education of thepeople , but so long as the whole time of the working man was devoted to labour there could be no practical moral improvement . The moral aud physical condition bf the people must keep pace with each Other . Exertions were

      _iiiakinjj- to provide part's and grounds for healthful recreation ; but of what value were they to a man who had not one hour of the day to pass in them Not one of these improvements was available to _tllOSC Who wove doomed to never-ending and exhausting toil . The agitation had been con _d ucted throughout in u maimer highly creditable to the good sense of tlic working men . It was that wliich enabled him to take up their cause , and he feltconfidcnt , that be the issue of the st ruggle what it might , tliose ivhom he represented would never allow themselves to be " betrayed into improper courses . If they did not succeed in the next session , it would certainly be another trial of their patience -, but of final success he extertained no doubt whatever , if they adhered to the same course of constitutional agitation . The noble Lord sat down amidst deafening plaudits .

      • several operatives then addressed the meeting upon various points bearing on the short hour question , and a vote of thanks having been passed to the supporters of the Ten Hours ' Bill ill and out of Parliament , the proceedings terminated .

" The policeman told him be was quite right , there ivas a strange craft a-head iu the- shape of a prostitute , but it" he would pnt himself under his convoy he would pilot him safely into port . Jack readily as .

      sentetl , but inquired with some amazement where that port was , for certainly they were on a strange shore .

" The officer told him to never fear , for he would undertake to get him a safe berth , and Straightway conducted liim to tlio station-bouse . Jacfi hud no great mind to his berth at iirst , but upon being told that they would make him as comfortable as possible , and give him a glass of grog in the morning , lie gently laid himself down , and full fast asleep .

Traill , charged with running away from his master , the captain ofa collier , to whom lie was bound apprenticed by tlic parish authorities of Saint Olaves , Southivark . The prisoner was clothed in tilth * _, rags , and seemed in such a weak condition , as hardly to be able to stand . A City policeman said , that on the previous day hu observed thu prisoner lying on the pavement in Cheapside . lie had written in chalk , " 1 am Starring , and destitute . " Finding a mob collecting round liim he told hhn to go away , but thu prisoner said that he could not walk , lie , however , helped him up , and assisted him to the station-house , where he was supplied witli coll _' ee

Tho Lord . Mayor accordingly ordered him to be brought to this court . —Mr . Traill asked whether any oftlie parish-officers were in attendance . —One of the relieving ollicers stepped forward , and sa . d that there had been looking after the prisoner some time . lie was apprenticed , two years ago , to Captain Gf . bson , the master of a collier trading to South Shields , and about four months ago , while ihe vessel ivas lying at the hitter place , he made his escape , The officer produced a copy of the prisoner ' s in . den ures , and his register from the Custom-house . The parish had given £ 5 with him , and it was very hard that the parish sliould be robbed by lads whom tliey

      apprenticed . He had also to inform the magistrate thai Captain Gibson would prosecute him if he was remanded for a week , when he would be in London . Mr . Traill said that he should not like to send tlie prisoner to gaol on the ex-parte evidence now produced . He might have been induced to have left his vessel _oiviiis ; to acts of violence committed bj his master . He asked the prisoner what version he could give of the atEiir . The prisoner said , that about six months ago a new mate came ou board tlie vessel , aud grossly ill . used him , so much so , that he asked the captain for loavc to quit the vessel . The hitter gave his consent , and told him hi would burn thc inden ture , when nothing move would be said about him . He then quitted the vessel at Shields , but Captain Gibson refused to give liim either clothes or money . He made his

      way up to Loudon in search of employment , but was unsuccessful , whereby he became so reduced as to be in n state of starvation and disease , in whicli he was found by the officer . The parish officer said that he had . received a letter from Captain Gibson , which expressly said that the prisoner hud run away from the vessel without thc consent of any person on board . Mr . Traill said that he could not take the latter as evidence , and under those circumstances he should not send the poor fellow to prison . He appeared in a very weak state , -And he _considered that tllC best tiling hu eould do , would be to send him to the workhouse , where he could remain until the return of the captain . The prisonet seemed very gratelnl at the worthy magistrate ' s decision , and left the court in company with the hard-hearted relieving officer .

      ing in thc Prcsse : —Monsieur du Petit Manleau bleu seems to have found a rival , or rather an emulator , with this difl ' _t-rcnce _, that our new philanthropist lias hitherto preserved the strictest incognito , by assuming the aarb , and tone , and language of the lower orders . About a week or ten days ago , a few minutes before two in the afternoon , a man dressed in a blouse entered the shop of a trnitcur in the Faubourg St . Antoinc , where hundreds of workmen come at fixed hours to take what they call their ordinary , lie was served with a plate- of soup , which he swallowed like a famished man , then a portion ofthe beef , which he _dliVoltl-Gil with equal appetite , and lastly a cup of wine , which he drank at one divi tight . This done , he got up and went to the bar , demanding what he

      had toipay . The landlady summed up— " An ordinary 7 sous , wine 3 sous , and 2 sous ior bread , in fill 12 sous . " " Good , " replied the guest . " Now tell nie how many workmen come here to their dinner . " " Why ! you see there arc sixteen tables for four each , and in a very few minutes they will all be filled ; that will make sixty -four . " "Good , that makes oSf _., and adding my score it will amount to 3 !> f . . Here is 401 ., and you will tell all tliese good fellows that their dinner is paid for to-day ; " and throwing eight five-franc pieces on the counter , he disappeared . At daybreak the next morning a man entered one of the numerous lodging-houses for workmen in the Rue de l'ilotel de-Villi * frequented by journeymen joiners , and cried out , " Well , emnnanioiis . how many of you are ill want of work V

      Ten men jumped up together and preferred their claims . " Well , " continued our eccentric but humane friend , ' * Pick up your legs , and I will get you engaged for the whole winter . But you must make haste , for 1 am in a hurry . " Believing that tlie . V hfttl to do with a brother chip , the ten men lost no time in following liim to a master joiner in the Hue du Clierche Midi . Here , addressing the master , he said , "I have brought you ten good workmen , ami you must employ them . " "But lam not in want of any , for I cau hardly lind work for my own people . " " Good ' . good ! still engage these , and you sliall not find work fail you . Jn the lirst place you must make for me 50 school desks of heart of oak , tivc metres long by oue and a half wide , and as many benches of thc same stuiF , and then wc will talk of

      more . " The worthy joiner , however , stammered and hesitated . "Oh ! you don't know me . True—true , therefore you must have something in hand . " Taking out a dirty pocket-book and producing a bank note for 1 , 0001 ' . * he thrust It into the joiner ' s baud _.-inddeeamhed . For tliree successive days iu last week the same person put in requisition all the women who earn their living by carding mattresses , and paying each her day ' s work in advance ; hc divided them into squadrons , and ordered them to go and card gratis all the mattresses in thc lodging-houses fer workmen in the neighbourhood of the Place de Grevc .

      Anecdote of the _Emi-ehou Nicuolas . — . The Emperor was proceeding down the Newsky prospect , alive and watchful as he is when he catches sight ofa uniform , when hc espied a soldier of our regiment in the condition we call' slave bogu . ' It means' _jiraicc to the Lord ;* and answers-to your French expression of * being-in the Lord ' s vineyard . ' Ina word , he was very drunk . ' Come here , ' said the Emperor , ' jump up behiud my sledge and I will give you a ride to your barracks , and order you oOO lashes , Here , hold on by the sleeve of my cloak that I may feel thatyou have not rolled down in the snow like a beast , as you are-. ' The soldier thanked liim very fervently ancl humbly , as soldiers and peasants-do with _ws when promised favours of Hint description . It deprecates wrath , they say . Now thc Emperor

      held © n at the cloak just as an angler feels the ( hdi at the end of his line ; and away they drove for thc barracks . When they arrived the officer on duty was called out , ' llarkjc , _* " said Nicholas , - take that drunken hound , who is behind my _sledco , and shut him up till lie is sober , then give him 500 lashes . ' ' 1 hoar and obey , ' said the officer ; ' but please your Imperial Majesty , I see only two soldiers in the street —two mounted Cossacks just turning the cornerwhom I will instantly pursue . Which is it V ' Ah ! fool ! whose mother 1 have defiled !' said the Emperor . ' I mean the man who is behind my sledge . ' But as thc Emperor turned mechanically round Ito look , there was no soldier there ; but the sleeve of his cloak was cunningly fastened to his snsh . ' Oh !'

      roared the Emperor , ' I have defiled thy mother I 1 have defiled thy mother ! 1 have defiled thy mother ! The _vascal has got off ; Ult I'll be even wilh liim ; be shall not escape . Drive on . ' The next morning the regiment was drawn out in one rank , and the Emperor himself came to inspect it . Ile quietly desired that the delinquent would step forward ; but thc delinquent knew better . Then thc Emperor's brow lowered , and he walked along the line , looking into every man ' s face , and making his teeth chatter . But you know he endeavours to sort the men so carefully ) ho causes the soldier ' s hair to be cropped * so close , and their _moustachios to be cut so exactly in the same trim and blackened so accurately to the same hue with tallow and' lamp-black , that for once hewas utterly at fault . 'The limpet or chafed ; the colonel was in despair , anil in vain implored the offender to come forward , andbc Hogged , for the credit

      of the regiment . At length a tree pardon was promised ; but yet no one came forward . Still Nicolai Paulovilch swore that he would lind him out ; and then hc offered * not only a free pardon , but 100 roubles and a week ' s holiday . Now , TOO roubles to a poor solder , who receives only about Is . a year nnd is fond of brandy , was too strong a temptation . He stepped forward and confessed . Tlie Emperor looked at him , and sent him back into the ranks—bis curiosity and his anger were gratified - , ' His curiosity , ' said Horace , ' but not his . _inger , for I suppose ho kept his promise . ' ' Oh j es , as to tile pardon , and so he did as to the 100 roubles ; but then thc soldier drank , and of course the colonel found that be was drunk . He was condemned to run the gauntlet tlirough 300 men , and when liissentenoc was sent to the Emperor for approbation , he wrote down approved , but to run the gauntlet twice through 600 men . And serve the fool right , for he had' ib all liis own way once .

      _ExPEDlENts to .

An old gentleman ofthe party said that he always deposited his money in his boot ,, keeping only some silver-in his waistcoat pocket to pay his common expenses . About midnight , as they were passing a lonely momysome robbers made their appearance , who attacked the coach , and finding but little in the pockets of the old gentleman , cursed him as an unprofitable prize . After rifling all the others , they came to-a . young man who had been amusing the company for sonic hours by the tales before named , and demanded , bis _pui-sc . "I never carry any money , " was his reply . "' \ Vc will not take your word for that , " said the thieves . . He , repeating his former assertion , added , " my uncle always pays for tis both , and thevo he is

      with tho money m his boot , " upon which he pointed to tho old gentleman in the corner , who wpon this unfortunate expose was dragged out , his boots pulled oil , and thirty pounds discovered . Ho again took his _SCilp and tllC COadl dl'OVC Oil , while imprecations were poured on tlic head of the treacherous traveller , nhoi appeared abashed , but said nothing . "U pon reachiii " the inn , many miles distant , tho travellers were ushered into the SaittO room , _wltcatLe betrayer of the secret approaching the old gentleman , said "I have indeed to ask your pardon , my dear sir , and to thank you ior the fortunate expedient with which your confidence furnished me , I now return you thirty pounds m place of that which the robbers took iou will excuse what I have done when I tell you i-nnn i a .

The "Smut of the Haymakers , " and " Summer is nigh , " loyt : _iblv _* i- mind us of the evils that need remedial measure } to alleviate thc _sullcriiigs of the aged , the infirm _and ' tlip p o or , hilt unwillingiillui _* . Such limsas the tollowi ,,, aro of little avail to those parties : — °

      " Hold fast ! " cries the waggoner , loudly and quick And then comes the hearty " Gee-wo !" While the cunning old team-horses manage to VitU A sweet mouthful to munch as they go . 4 The tawiiy-faeed children come round us to _piar And bravely they scatter the heap Till the tiniest oue , all outspc . it with the fun Is curled up with the sheep-dog asleep . Old _iijji ; sitteth doivn on the haycock ' s fair crown At the close of our labouring day ; And wishes his life , like the grass at his feef May be pure at its " passing aivav . " Theti a song and a cheer for the bom * jt . j . recil stack Climbing up to lhe Sun wide and high ; ' '' For the pitchers and rakers , and merry liavmakers And the beautiful midsummer sky . *

      The association of ideas suggested b y the above are pleasing—nay , more than plcismg . " ] i ;• _-. i , _- they should be marred by the thought of how ii \ _u * they would serve to iill an empty stomach . _Al _$ 0 the following from the " Summer is Ni gh" : — The richest of perfumes and jewels arc mine . While the dog-roses blow , and the dew spangles shine And the softest of music is wakened for nie , By thc stream o ' er the pebble—the wind in tho tree . Xature , kind mother , my heart is content

      with the beauty and mirth thon bust lavishly scut : Sweet summer is nigh , and my spirit leaps high As the sun travels further along the blue sky . # * * # I sec the rife buds on thc wide spreading bough , Soon ,, soon they will shadow my _tliought-lndvn broil I see the bright primroses burst where I stand , And I laugh like a child as they drip in my hand . Nature , hind mother , thou heavest me breathe My devotion at altars where wild . 'lowers wreathe ; None other cue knows how my warm bosom glows , As I watch the young daisy-fringe open and close . I see the blue violets peep from the bank ; I praise their Creator—1 bless und I thank ; And the gossamer insect at play iiv tlvii beam is an atom that bids me adore the Supremo . 2 \" nt « re , kind mother , mv heart is content

      With the beauty and mirth thou hast _Invishly scr . S ; Swuet Summer is ni gh , and my PpiiK leaps high _. As the sun travels further along the blue sky . Such sentiments'do honour to the female who penned them ,, and Jir . _Frascr ' _s method of bringing tliem before the public is calculated to impress them lastingly upon the minds ofhis audiences , but neither the , gay and . laughing manner of Miss-Feasor , nor the melodious and m eli . tones of Miss i \ l . Fraser , nor tlie powerful bass of Mr . Fraser , nor yet the harmony produced by the nicely mingling _aiuleveiil . v-balauced voices of the three ,, could prevent us froni thinking what a farce it would be to sing the two hist named pieces to the bone crushers of the Andover Union ; their song should be—Tho _I'iel . isst ol prefnmes and _jpwrlB-arc mino When-old bones with , the meat or the marrow do * shine .

      _| Tis precious little soft music whiehthey hear , their melodies being _strioily confined to thc harsh gratings of the devil _Kings' _miniona . The freedom of "tho stream o ' er the pebble , " OI * "tiie Wllld ill tllC tree , , scrvi _* so « l ; v to make-their imprisonment moro apparent and more galling . ' . Nature is not a "kind mother"to tliem , or , ifslie is , theirkind friends have rubbed them of her blessings , - but , after all , the contrast of the-happiness _wciiiigiifct' _/ ijoy _xvith-themisery endured by the many , will eventually have a benelicia ! inlluence . Those of our friends who have the chance * may safely avail themselves of the opportunity of passing a rational hour in listening to such holy sentiments as those- contained itithc poetry of _Eliza-tJotik _, and conveyed to tho mvud by the delightful singing ofthe Frascrs .
