      TO THE CHARTISTS ABDBEADERS OF THE "NORTHERN STAR . " ^ JL \ J J . lA . hi GjlLA . 1 v . L 1 . oTS A ^ ZTY TJ"P atvcr c !

      "THiat breastplate like heart untainted ' Ihnce is he arm'd who hath his quarrel just ; And he hut naked—though locfd up in steel—Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted . " Shakspeee . 3 Jt Feiesds , Such . 30 U have teen , and such I Lave no doubt you will continue to be , notwithstanding Mr . O'Connor ' s letter in last Saturday ' s " Northern Star . "

      I must remind you howthis controversy commenced . In the Star" of March 3 rd , Mr O'Connor published a letter , which partly consisted of animadversions on " Republicanism , " and partly of beseeching appeals to you to " wean your nihids from the consideration of foreign questions , "—accompanied by warnings against " the apple of discord , " which , according to Mr . O'Connor , some persons , whom he did not name , were about to throw " amongst our ranks , " hy raising " the cry of Republicanism . " In the " Star" of the

      10 th of March , there appeared an address in reply to Mr . O'Connor , signed by 3 Ir . Barber and five oihers " on behalf of the Republicans of Nottingham . " In the same paper appeared a letter addressed "To tbe Working Classes , " signed " L'Aini du Peuple , " also commenting on Mr . O'Connor ' s letter of the previous week , correcting that gentleman's errors of argument , and shoving that there was no attempt being made—or in contempl itionby those who cherished Republican principles to supersede the Chartist agitation by any movement or cry" for Republicanism , -

      If you will carefully re-read the j ^ btting hani address , and my letter signed "I / 'Ami du Peuple , " yon cannot fa \\ to come to the conclusion that both "were respectfully worded . My letter , from the beginning to the end , was unsullied by anything like ofiensive personality . From the first line to the last , my dissidence from ~ Mr . O ' Connor ' s views was expressed in " the language of courtesy and good feeling . " And how has Mr . O'Connor responded ? I leave to you the reply . If the " apple of discord" has been tlmnvn amongst you , it has not been thrown by me . If evil arises from this controversy , the responsibility thereof I disclaim .

      In last Saturday ' s " Star I gave sufficient explanation of the course I pursued in publishing the Nottingham address and my own letter , without submitting Loth , or either , to Ml ' - O'Connor before publication . Mr . O'Connor ' s complaint concerning the Tower Hamlets Chartists committing the sin of addressing their communication to the Editor with the words "A letter having appeared in YOTJR paper of the 3 rd , written by Mr . O'Connor , " &c , can onl y provoke a smile . Howwou'd he have the public address their

      communications to the Editor of HIS paper ? Did not the Tower Hamlets Chartists follow the universally recognised rule ? Take up any paper—daily or weekly—and you will see correspoHdents * writing " to the Editor" as follows : — " Sir , —A letter ( or * an article ') having appeared in your paper ; " or , — " I shall be obliged by the insertion of thp following letter in your paper ; ' * or , "The Committee of the request the insertion of the following address

      in yow paper , " &c ., &c . Sometimes these introductions are not eontained in the body of the address , or letter , but are sent in private coinmunicatious to the Editor , in which case they are usually omitted , but invariably , in the ' one shape or the other , the request for insertion in " your paper" accompanies every document sent to an editor for publication . "When Mr . O'Connor asserted that which ivas unfounded—namely , that the men who

      cherished Republican principles were about to throw the apple of discord amongst our ranks , it was but charity to presume that he had been misled by some fool or designing knave indeed , he says in his letter of last week , that lie has received many letters assuring him that a Republican party was doing much damage to the cause of Chartism . I assert , that the writers of those letters , whoever they may be , have furnished Mr . O'Connor with false

      information and impressions unwarranted by facts . Such writers , I can only regard in the light of kuaves or fools . But I most earnestly protest against what appears to me to be an insinuatioii on the part of Mr . O'Connor , that I have ever condemned Mr . Duncombe as a fool or designing knave . Mr . Dnncombe says , " that Chartist advocacy of Republicanism would raise hosts of enemies . " Perhaps so , but up to this time , at any rate , there has been no Chartist advocacy of Republicanism . It will be observed that Mr . Duncombe objects to mixing up " Repeal" or any other question with that of the Charter . If the policy of mixing np Repeal with the Charter was unwise , Mr . 0 ' Connor knows "who was chiefly responsible for that policy .

      It is no part of my design to review the " arguments" advanced by Mr . O'Connor , ill opposition to those advanced bv me , in my letter in the " Star " of March 10 th . If Mr . O'Connor is satisfied Avith his arguments , I am satisfied with mine , and am content to leave the decision with you . I confine myself to questions of fact Mr . O'Connor , speaking of " L'Ami du Peuple , " says :- — "But latterly , every line of this miter which has ap-Iteared in the " Stak , " eo far from keeping the Chartist JiiuTi'ment distinct , has been devoted to foreign policy , and the anticipated glories of Kepuhlicauisin .

      By turning over the " Stars" for the last three months you will see for yourselves , that of twelve letters signed "L'Ami du Peuple , " onl y two , and a portion of a third , have been devoted to foreign questions . Mr . O'Connor says , "Your friend appeal's t « be in very extensive communication with foreign countries . " I have not that good fortune , but I must , nevertheless , correct Mr .

      O'Connor's mistake , embodied in the assertion , " That the mechanics , artificers , and artisans of Ghent are just as ' much subject to priestly dominion as the rural peasants . " He might just as well assert that the working men df Lyons are as priest-ridden as ihe peasantry of La Vendee ; or that the working men of Manchester are as ignorant as the agricultural labuorcrs of Buckinghamshire !

      -Mr . O'Connor's strictures on his successive editors the sums he paid them—and the conduct of the agents and correspondents of tbe " ^' art / tern Star , " cannot hare anything to do with the subject under discussion . "What has Mr . So-and-so ' s salary , or Mr . Sucli-anone ' s conduet , to do with the question of Republicanism ? ^ lr . O'Connor announces that he employs three editors , and writes all the articles himself . On the other hand , he complains not less than six different times in the course of

      his letter , of "irresponsible writers" presuming to poach on the domains of " responsible teachers . " He intimates that the principal Editor and " L'Ami du Peuple , " are one and the same person . As to Mr . O'Connor writing all the editorial articles , he must , as the sailors say , tell that story to the marines . } Tis true , that Mr . O'Connor writes much more than he need to do , if he would allow the Editor to do his own v oric . I write less editorial matter now than ^ hen I was Snb-Editor of the " Star , " but

      ftat is not my fault I first joined the " Star " * the week ending Septemher 13 th , 1843 , ^ d that very week wrote , at Mr . Hobson ' s ^ uest , a Bhort article on "The Victims . " ^ tilst Mr . Hobson continued Editor , Mr . 0 Connor onl y occasionally contributed edito-^ matter , whilst I generally contributed one ° more articles . I remember one , which , a lftougjt on a " foreign" question , and cont aining , perhaps , some " exciting language , " n ererthe ! ess , I fetter jnysel £ did the " Star " *> me credit ; at-any rate , I know it was T& J generally approved oi It was en-

      Untitled Article

      titled " Has Rome now no Brutus ? Has Ital y no Tell ? " That was written so far back as April , 184 £ , long betbre I ceased to be sub-editor . It would not be difficult to point out many articles contributed by me , both before and since I became Editor , which have elicited the expressed approval of Mr . O'Connor . Yet it is true that I write fewer articles now than at the time I had iar less control over the management of the paper . I repeat , that is no fault of iniue . For some time after Mr . Hobson left the paper , Mr . O'Connor so plied the office with editorial matter that th&re was , generally , no room for any one else to say a word . I remember that on the occasion of Mr . O'Connor raising iny salary after Mr . Hobson ' s dismissal . I wrote iH-i ^/ i <« _ t « Tj-n . i

      to Mr . O'Connor , apprising him that I wished to write at least one article weekl y , when I received for answer that he would rather that I confined myself to the general management of the paper . Still I occasionally wrote articles . Subsequently , Mr . Ernest Jones was engaged to assist in the " getting up'' the " Star . " Mr . Jones was supposed to write two articles weekly , which , I should say , 1 ig was ever as ready as he was able to do . Sometimes , however , I wrote one or more articles , and then Mr . Jones only wrote one . I desire here to pay a passing tribute of respect to a man with whom , during our connexion , I had a perfect community of feeling , and whose more than ordinary talents , thorough courage —and , I believe , genuine patriotism—I am proud to aclcnowledge and pay homage to .

      Mr . Jones writing one or two leaders weekly , Mr . Fleming contributing one weekly , and Mr . 0 ' Connor often contributing one , and sometimes more , often placed me in the awkward position of finding myself , " shut out , " when I desired to write , but could not do so for " want of room . " Having reason to believe that my manner of writing pleased not a few of the "Star ' s" readers , ihe thought struck me that I might , with credit to myself and the paper , give utterance to my views in the guise of a correspondent . I determined to act on

      this notion , and assumed the signature of " L'Ami du Peuple . " My firstletter appeared in the " Star" just one . year ago , March 25 th , 1818 , and had for its subject , the life and knaveries , overthrow , and flight of Louis Philippe . The sittings of the Convention , and the turmoil of agitation prevented the appear ance of a second letter until a few weeks had elapsed from the publication of the first . The otters then appeared pretty regularly until I had tliemisfortuno—ami sfortunesharedbyothers—• tolibel MisterFowler . M ylettersthenceased for a time , hut I did not cease to write in the paper ; for instance , in one number of the " Star , " published two or three weeks after the apof

      pearance my libel on Mister Fowler , I had four columns of editorial articles from my own pen . The abuse heaped upon the " Stttr" by . Messrs . Drummond and Hume in the House of Commons , induced metoresume my letters , but this time I wrote under my own name " 6 . Julian Harney . " I continued this course , and wrote , several letters with my own name att iched thereto . I did so because I desired to take upon myself all the moral—though I could not take the legal responsibility of what I wrote . I abandoned that course only when desired to do so by Mr . O'Connor , who himself suggested that I should resume my old signature of ' -L'Ami du Peuple ; " his reasons I do not presume to divine .

      I presume that after this explanation , you will come to the conclusion that Mr . O'Connor ' s oft-repeated complaints in his last week ' s letter , of the presumption of irresponsible writers , was uncalled for . I am as anxious as man ever was , to take upon myself the responsibilit y of all I write , say , or do : if I am forced into an irresponsible position , it is my misfortune , not my fault . I have written but few "leaders" lately , hardly anything , indeed , boyond appeals for the Victims and then * families . Mr . O'Conuor's volunteer editorship was one reason for abstaining from the use of the " WE . "

      There Was another reason , v / hich at present I do not think it necessary to name . Confining myself almost exclusivel y to my Letters , I had the satisfaction of finding that those Letters were appreciated . Thus far "L'Ami du Peuple" has had ample encouragement from the people , to persevere in his labours for the advancement of the people ' s cause . This plain , unvarnished statement of the history and mystery of my editorship , and the letters of "L'Ami du Peuple , " has been forced froin me , by the utterly uncalled for comments of Mr . O'Connor . 1 have now to call your attention to the following paragraphs , extracted from the seventh column of Mr . O'Connor ' s letter : —

      I have often told you hoiv easy it was to tieHe the fervid imagination of brave and suffering millions with exciting appeals , which may drive the feeling , the enthusiastic , and bnive to face death in any shape , while the exciter mav shelter himself under the mantle of irresixmsibility , .-md smile at the woe that he has created . What would you say of me , even you—youhraveltepuhlicans of Nottingham —if I appeared before an enthusiastic and excited audience in a garb descriptive of nationality and valour , and said , " When you see me next I will come to proclaim the Charter , or this national bad ge shall be saturated with the Mood of the martyr . ? " And what would you say if I did not make my appearance before the same audience , although the Charter was not piwlainied—although blood was not dhed in the struggle to achieve it ?

      What would you say to me now , if , in 1839 , Ih : d appeared before you with the Cap ofliberty , and declared tluit I was ready to tuck up my sleeves and go at it , and if , when the struggle came , I was won ett hmentus ? What would jou say , if , during the Lancaster trials , when rampant Toryism and Whiggisra looked for a large Chartist saciifice , I had turned a puling spooney , with my face bathed in tears , lest I should suffer the penalty consequent upon my struggle for freedom ? What would you say , if , upon the 9 th of April—when I was assured by scores that I was to be shot upon the 10 th , —I had called a secret meeting of delegates , and if I had proj > osed to that meeting that the meeting on Kennington Common should not take place ? Oh , iii such a case , how poor and pitiful are the strictures now written by enthusiastic Democrats , compared to what their denunciation , their just reviling , and reproach would then have been .

      That in these paragraphs Mr . O'Connor aims his blows at me , I cannot assert , but I know that not a few of his readers consider me the aggrieved party , and foully wronged by these uufair and imjust imputations . It is for Mr . O'Connor to say who he means . In the meantime , supposing that he may mean me , I embrace this , earliest opportunity to reply—First . —That I did wear ihe Cap of Liberty and am no ways ashamed to own it .

      Second . —Mr . O'Connor knows that I have , before now , refuted the lying story about tucking up my sleeves , &c , when . it was applied to me . I do not pretend to understand what he means by the particular " garb descriptive of nationality and valour . " I have yet to learn that there lias been any " struggle " which would havewarrantedfolkin either dying themselves , or dying their badges . My Cap of Liberty , and some other matters which Mr . O'Connor may possibly allude to , belong to the year . 1839 . Eight years after that date , I find Mr . O'Connor -writing to the " Old Guards of Chartism , the Fustian Jackets , the Blistered Hands , and Unshorn Chins , as follows : —

      "And see , again , what advantage I myself derive from the knowledge of the past ; it has taught ine men '* characters , men ' s value , and men ' s honesty . You remember how William Rider was denounced for his proper estimate of the character of the Convention of 1839 ; you remember how the young and enthusiastic Harney was denounced for his enthusiasm ; and how , rather than be suspected among the suspicious , Rider abandoned his large weekly salary as a delegate , aad betook himself to poverty ; and now that m ™ i nasthe sole , the entire management of my money anairs . Ihousands , and tens of thousands a year pass through his hands , while I am devotiramy time to the ma-£ r ? e l _ £ y ° "r atts ; while the principal management a ^ ^ ° I thern s f « r has devolved upon &e denounced enfeuswrf , George Jmum Harney . »_ yortft « m Star , Sept 25 ,

      Leaving « Lancaster " to the last , I come to the alleged " secret meeting of delegates . " I will only say , that if in this paragraph I am the person pointed at , I am ready to meet Mr . O'Connor ' s constituents—who were my constituents when I sat in the Convention—at any time they may think fit to call upon me to appear before them to answer for my conduct as their delegate . Even Mr . O'Connor appearing as my accuser would not cause me to shrink

      Untitled Article

      from the ordeal of inquiry . For the present I content myself with quoting the following , written by Mr . O'Connor , five months after the Kennington Common meeting . "Of all the delegates who advocated physical force in 1539 , William Hider , Richard Marsden , and H / oney , am the only three who have IlEMAIXED FIRM to the cause of Chartism ; and who , I believe , have long since discovered the folly of measuring questions by other men ' s enthusiasm ' . —Northern Star , Sept . 16 th 1 S 4 S . A . n . » . - i i t * . j . t

      The strongest language would fail to express my wounded and bitter feelings when I read the paragraph concerning the Lancaster trials , under the supposition that it was intended to apply to me . If it was intended to apply to me , I can only pronounce the charge therein contained as calumnious as it is offensive ; and utterly devoid of truth . This I shall prove not by mere assertion , or declamation , or denunciation of any one , but by evidence which cannot be controverted .

      Mr . O'Connor himself , in the report of the Lancaster trials—a volume edited by him and published under his superintendence—says in the " Preface" thereof : The friends of Chartism rejoiced at the standing—the bearing—assumed by the conspirators , during the whole trial . It may appear trivial to notice the details of such a matter , hut they operated most powerfully in extorting ait amount of respect and attention which in its turn supported the cause , of whose humanising operations it was itself ihe result .

      There is no exception made ; all the conspirators were praised tor their courage and noble bearing , and in the very last page of the volume Mr . O'Connor tenders his "love to the valiant crew who refused all invitations to abandon the tossing vessel that we were embarked in—for then- valour in the storm , and their mildness in the calm—for their bearing , their demeanour , their eloquence and their courage . " But here tlio conspiratora are spoken oi generally , I am spoken of at page 215 as follows : —

      It would , perhaps , be invidious to point particular attention to the address of any Individual where all acquitted themselves so well : but the speech of IIAHNEY willOc re . d with peculiar interest , jasd fully justifies the position WHICH HE OCCOPIED i-STIIE IIBST SPEWtEB . This is not the way Mr . O'Connor should have written of a " puling spooney . " I dare say I have said and quoted sufficient to satisfy you that the puling spooney , whoever he was , was not G -. Julian Harney . To set this matter at lest , I will , however , add the testimony of two of my co-accused at Lancaster .

      1 EME 11 PB 0 M WllilAJt BEES 1 BT . " Accriugton , March 2 Dth , 1849 . " Mr Dear Hahxev , —I caunot to-day get to see the numbers of the Star you mention , namely , those of March 3 rd , loth , uud 17 th , but I \ viU at once say what I have often said , thiitfl moremanlj f defence than yours was never mad f « 6 » Thine Fraternally , William Beeslei . "

      LETTER H 5 O 51 JAMES LEACH . " Kirkdale Prison , March 21 st . " My Beau Humey , —I cannot think that that portion of O'Connor ' s letter referring to the Lancaster trials can be intended to apply to you . I am certain that every man who wituessed youv conduct on that occasion , must have admired the manly and honourable manuei in which you acquitted yoursel £ 0 * S « Accept my best wishes for your welfare , and be assured that I am , "fours most truly , Jv » . UES LEACn . "

      A few more words will suffice . I have now been employed by Mr . O'Connor for two years and upwards as Sub-Editor , and three and upwards as Editor of the " Northern Star . " I am not in the habit of boasting , but lean tmly say , that to the best of my ability I have faithfully performed my duties . My conscience tells me that I have acted justly by Mr . O'Connor , but my conscience also bids me act justly to myself , by steufastly adhering to principle , fearless and regardless of consequences . 1

      "I have always held , said Mi . O'Connor , in the " Northern Star , " of March Oth , 1847 , " that a virtuous , independent public writei was the most valuable of all public functionaries . " It is my aim to be such a writer , and whether in this world ' s struggles . I perish or succeed , I shall , under all circumstances have the crowning pleasure of an approving conscience . I am , Friends , and Brother Chartists , Your devoted fellow-labourer ,

      EARTHQUAKE IN HEW ZEALAND . Advices of November 17 th , from Wellington , Xew Zealand , bring the important news that Port Nicholson had been visited by a series of earthquakes of a most alarming and prolonged nature , and by which the flourishing town of Wellington had been reduced to all but a heap of ruins . Friday , the 13 th of October , was a fine day , but very sultry , and on Saturday there was wind and heavy rain . This lasted all day on Sunday , and at half-past one on Monday morning , a distant hollow sound was heard , the sound travelling at a most

      rapid rate , when almost instantly , and in the course of a few seconds , the whole town was labouring under the most severe shocks of earthquake ever experienced . This continued at intervals until halfpast seven . Two-fifths of the chimneys were thrown down , and various public buildings were damaged . On Tuesday , the shocks were again felt , and the houses quivered like ships in a gale , one or two partics being killed by the falling ruins . The colonial and military hospitals , the gaols , < fcc , were so much injured that the patients and prisoners had to

      be removed . On Wednesday all was tranquil , but on Thursday renewed shocks were felt , and , being more violent than ever , completed the destruction . The Wesleyan chapel and other buildings -were thrown down , several cracks appeared in the earth , especially along the beach , and in the sky there was a fiery glare . On Friday , the 20 th October , thirteen successive shocks were felt , and on Tuesday , the 24 th there was a renewal . On that day the earthquake appeared to have subsided , and up to the 17 th Uo-TJmber nothing more was felt . The shipping had afforded refuge to the inhabitants ; and the officials , in conjunction with the residents , were maKing great efforts to repair the damage . The earthquake was felt in other parts of } Jew Zealand , but we have no particulars of damage done .

A constable in pkia clothes waited till site came out , and in Cornwall-terrace she played the same trick as before . The officer then told her she must consider herself in custody Upon which she jumped up and abused him in the

      most gross and infamous language . She had stated to the lady who had assisted her in the first inst ' ince that she had had nothing to eat for a day or two and in consequence was seized with a violent attark of spasms , which caused her to fall down , it was shown that the prisoner had upon many former oc canons been brought up to this and other courts for begging .

      conferred upon them . —Mr . Broughton , after remarking upon the consummate impudence of the prisoner in making tho allegations which he had against gentlemen of so much repute in the literary world , gave him to understand that if he had stolen nnvthing he would have been sent for trial , and perhaps transported ; as it was , he ( the magistrate ) should deal with him at onco , as severely as the law would allow him ; and , accordingly , committed him to hard labour in the House o ? Correction for three months .

He replied in the affirmative , adding that he had no doubt that she would be well taken care of : Uis wife also gave her assent . The magistrate said a , clear ease of crueltv had been made out , and as

      lie was bound to afford all the protection in his power to the child , he should order Mr . Thomas to enter into his own recognisance in £ 50 , and to find two sureties in £ 30 each , for himself and his wife keeping the peace for twelve months . —Mr . Thomas : I am afraid I shall not be able to procure the bail , sir , for , owing to the notoriety caused by the publication of the matter in the papers , many friends to whom I have applied to assist me have refused to do so . —Mr .

The prisoner became \ ery clamorous , and finding- time he had no chance of escape , ho knocked her down and ran to the door to get away . He was ultimately secured , and two paiva of shoots were discovered wrapped round his body . — Two Othoi 1 similar eases having been proved , the policeman stated that there was a former conviction against the prisoner , who was tried foy robbing coffee shops , and sentenced to six months' imprisonment .

A constable hearing a disturbance , found complainant lying in the kennel , and the prisoner who was the worse for liquor , but not drunk , ovev him . Witness

      attempted to remove him , when he struck him a heavy blow , which felled him . Another constable came up and found the man who had been removed to the London Hospital , apparently lifeless , and the constable , Welch , stretched beside him . The prisoner became very violent , flung himself on his back and kicked out furiously . The constables wore almost exhausted , and it took upwards of an hour to convey him to the station-house . — Mr . Yardlcy said , that as he never had been charged before with felony , he would acquit him and all connected with the cap and kerchief . For the assault on TYcIch he would sentence him to seven days' imprisonment , seven more for the assault on Kearney , and order him to pay a fine of £ 4 or to he imprisoned for six weeks for the assault on the sailor . These punishments were irrespective of what he had rendered himself liable to for the assault on the man in the hospital . —The prisoner was then locked up .

      HAMMERSMITH . —A Father in Search of his Daughter . —A person of respectable appearance applied to Mr . Beadon for his advice and assistance . The applicant said lie was a resident at Liverpool , and that his name was Arnold . About three months ago he was absent from home in another part of the country , and on his return he found that during his absence a gentleman of the name of Garbinelli , living in Kensington , had induced his wife to consent to his taking a daughter , fourteen years of age , with him to town , as a lrind of servant , for three years , at £ 6 a year . His wife told , him that Mr . Gfarbinelli was introduced to her as a respectable gentleman , and he wrote out a sort of agreement , which applicant had left at Liverpoolas to the

      , term he would keep her , her wages , and also that she would . write to her parents every week . He very much diaapyroved oi what his wife had done , but some of his friends persuaded him not to interfere with the arrangement made unless he had reason to do so . The first letters that were sent were in his daughter ' s writing , she having had an excellent education ; but about three weeks ago the letter sent was evidently in a man ' s handwriting , and last week no letter at all came . He felt alarmed , came to town , and on making inquiries in the neig hbourhood , he received unfavourable information respecting the person in whose hands his

      daughter was , and on . going to Mr , Garbinelli ' s house he was refused admittance , or even an inT terview with his daughter . He , however , saw her at a distance , in the passage , and she afterwards called to him from the top of the house , " Father , I dare not come to you I am forbid to see you . " He wished to know how he ought to act under the circumstances , as he was most anxious to see his child , and remove her from Mr . Garbinelli ' s house . —Mr . Beadon told the applicant that he had an undoubted right to see and also converse with his daughter , but he doubted whether he could remove her without a writ of habeas corpus . He had also ft doubt wbetaer , after the agreement Jiis wife

      had made with Mr . GnrbincHi , a charge of abduction could be sustained . Mr . Garbinelli had , however , been some months since charged at that court with misconduct towards a girl in his service , on which he was discharged . He would advice tho applicant , under the peculiar circumstances of the case , to apply instantly to a judge in chambers , and get an order " to see his daughter , and ascertain from her if she had any complaint to make respecting her treatment . WESTMINSTER . —A Womax attempting to TlinOW HERSELF U . VDEB THE QUEEN ' S CARRIAGE . — Mary Covvdry was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of hei-self .

      duty in the Vauxlmll Bridge-road , when , as the carriage of the Queen , was leading the bridge , lie saw the defendant step oft" the . pavement into the road and go towards tho contve immediately after the escort had passed . He called out to her to get out of the way , as did also the outriders , instead of which she went on , and ultimately threw herself down on her side three or four yards in front of tho horses . The postillions pulled up at the instant , and witness dragged her out of the way . She was di'unk at the time , in reply to the magistrate , the sergeant said that she was not offensive to the public in any other way than that he had described , and lie was not aware that she had ever been in custody before . — -Mi ' . Bi-oderip said that under these circumstances he should discharge her .

      WORSHIP-STREET . —Scandalous Outrage . — A well-dressed , elderly man , named John Stokoe , described as a mechanist and tool-maker in the Curtain-road , Shorcditch , was charged before Mr . Tyrwhitt with having conducted himself with gross impropriety towards several unprotected and respectable young females . On the preceding evening as Alice Hunt , 11 yeavs of age , was proceeding home through lloxton Old-town , the prisoner advanced towards her , and , without uttering " a word , seized hold of the lower part of her dross and indecently raised it . His conduct attracted the indignant observation of several passers-by , but , before they had time to secure him , the prisoner walked hastily up to the shop of a tradesman named Tomkinson , whose daughter waa standing at the door , and

      assailed her m a similar manner . Tl \ c prisoner made a blow at her , and then hurried away , but was pursued by a man who had witnessed the proceeding , and was SO exasperated at his infamous conduct that ho was about to inflict summary castigation upon him , when the prisoner was at the same time seized by a woman , who resolutely held him until a policeman came up and took him into custody . —A third girl , named Louisa Scupping , ten years of ago , also deposed that the prisoner endeavoured to entice her into a secluded piece of waste ground , but that she refused to accompany him , and succeeded in making her escape without personal molestation . — Upon being called upon for his defence , the prisoner observed that it was impossible for him to gainsay anything that had boen alleged against him . as he

      waa so mwcl \ inebriated at the time that he had no recollection of anything that had occurred . —Mr . Tyrwhitt animadverted on the disgraceful conduct the prisoner had pursued , which he considered to be greatly aggravated by the position in which lie stood , and ho should therefore order him to pay a penalty of twenty shillings for each of the assaults that had been proved against him , or in default he must stand committed tor a month to the House of Correction . —Both penalties were immediately paid , and the prisoner thereupon liberated . Furious Driving . —Mr . Thomas Furze , a wine merchant in John-street , Crutchecl-friai'S , was brought before Mr . Ilammill upon the two-fold charge of furious driving , and having violently assaulted a gentleman named Cowley , residing in

      Cavendish-strect , New North-road . —The substance of the evidence , as given by tho complainant and several respectable -witnesses , was , that while the former was crossing the road from Finsbury-square to the end of Worship-street , at ten o eloek on the preceding evening , a gig , in which the defendant and his groom were seated , came suddenly upon liim with such velocity that the off-wheel struck his arm and foot , and it was only by a strenuous effort that he escaped being seriously injured . Witness expostulated with the defendant upon such reckless driving , when he immediately pulled up , and exclaiming , "You — old fool , why did ' nt you get out of the way ? " commenced lashing him unmercifully with his whip until the complainant succeeded in catching hold of the handle , which was broken in

      the struggle . The defendant then drove off , but was overtaken by tho witness , who seized hold of the groom ' s coat , and tenaciously clung to it , at great personal hazard ; upon which tho defendant , who continued driving rapidly on , called out to the groom " to knoek his hat off , " an order which was promptly executed by the servant , but , finding that lie still retained his hold , the groom was directed by his master to alight , and " give it to . him . " The servant accordingly jumped out , and made towards him in a threatening attitude , but was deterred from inflicting any personal violence by the interference of several bystanders , and hastily re-ontoi'iid the vehicle , which again proceeded on its course , but was pursued by the complainant and his witnesses , who at length succeeded in stopping

      it , and , a ter a renewed struggle , in which the defendant and his servant both cut at him with the broken fragments of the whip , a , polieeman arrived , and the defendant was given into custody . In reply to the charge , the defendant declared that the case had been greatly over-stated , and that the facts were , that while driving at what he considered a very moderate pace , the complainant , who was in a decided state of intoxication , rolled suddenly against his off-wheel , and at the snmemoment seized his whip , which was lodged in the socket , with such violence that the handle was snapped , and the upper part remained in his hand . He directed his groom to got down and recover it , which lie succeeded in doing after some resistance , and if the complainant had sustained any injury , it originated entirely in his own intemperate conduct , arising from tho condition ho was in at tho time . In support of this , tho defendant called his groom and another witness ,

      who partly coincided in his account of tho transaction , and expressed their opinion that the complainant was inebriated . Tho , latter allegation , however , was positively contradicted by the whole of tho complainant ' s witnesses ; and both the policeman , who received the charge , and the sergeant upon duty at the station-house , deposed to his perfect sobriety . —Mr . Ilammill considered that the defence set up had entirely failed , and , as the public must be protected'from such reckless behaviour , he should inflict tho full penalty oi'iOs . for the furious driving , and with regard to the assault , as the defendant , instead of apologising for the original aggression , as he ought to have done , had treated the Complainant with both outrage and indignity , he should also order him to pay a further penalty of £ 5 , or , in default , he must stand committed for the term of three months to the House of Correction . The fines were at once paid , and the defendant thereupon liberated .

      GUILDHALL . — Alleged Frauds at Cojvee-Suops . —A j'OUDg man , about twenty-five years of age , was charged with victimising several coffeehouse keepers . —Louisa Crainfield , waiteress at tho St . Paul ' s Coffee-house , 95 , Is ewgate-strcet , said that on Thursday evening the prisoner hired a bed , and the next morning had his breakfast . As he was about to depart , ho was asked for the amount of his bill , and he declared that he was unable to pay , but he expected a friend would have called at halfpast eight o'clock , and as he had not arrived he would go and seek him , and they ivould rest assured he would return . Witness ottered to send to any of his friends . The prisoner declined the offer , and having made several excuses he was conveyed to the station-house , where he gave his name as James Robinson . The bed and breakfast amounted to Is . 7 £ d . —An officer , who took him into custody , found in his possession a bill that had been run up at the " Larder " to the amount of £ 1 2 s . Od . There

      were also found on him three dunning letters . He was in custody on a similar charge on the 11 th of March , when he gave his name as Jackson . —The prisoner , in his defence , said that he came up from Northampton to seek for a situation , but failed , and being without money he ran in debt with the intention of paying as soon as he received some money from the county . At the present time he had no doubt a letter was waiting for him in Oxford-street , containing a money-order . Ho implored the Alderman not to ruin his prospects in life by sending him to prison , as his friends were hi g hly respectable , andhe should be disgraced for ever , He refused to say who they were . —Alderman Carden directed an officer to go to Oxford-street , and get the letter , if one had arrived , for the prisoner . On his return

      Adams said , he had got two letters , one from Oxford-street , and the other from the " Larder . " He had also ascertained that the prisoner had run up a bill at No . 83 , Aldersgate-street . — Mr . G . T . King , living at the latter place , deposed to the prisoner hiring a bed from him on the 11 th of March , and the following morning he had breakfast , but had no money to pay for it and ran away . He was given into custody , but let go again , on a promise that he would call in a few days and settle his account , which was between 2 s . and 3 s . On the following Wednesday he came again , and , without offering to pay what was already due , wished to hire a bed , which was refused , and he left . —Alderman Carden ( to the prisoner ); I see by the directions of

      these letters they are for a person named Angus . Is that your name ? Prisoner : It is . Alderman Garden : Shall I open them ? Prisoner : I wish you would not ; I would like to see the contents myself , I . will open them . Alderman Carden : No ; I will 4

      Curtis , jun ., admitted that the house had been entered by force , but said that-his father had not been able to get any rent from the prisoner , and his period of tenancy having expired on the day before , his father , acting on the advice of his solifitov , forced a way into the house . — The prisoner declared that he had never seen nor signed any inventory of the goods , and whether the spoons hi use were silver or pewter he was unable to iny . — Mr . Norton asked the rev . gentleman if he could find bail to appear on a future day , as the prosecutor required time to examine the whole of the property m thc house , and compare the different articles with the inventory . —Mr . Curtis , jnn ., here remarked that ho bad no doubt whatever that a

      number of articles would be found missing from the house when the goods and tbe inventory were compared . —The prisoner repeated that he 'had not seen nor signed any inventory , and said , that in so far as his knowledge of tho things extended , fifty . spoons or forks might be missing . —Tho noUcemaa who took the prisoner into custody said that he ( the prisoner ) was indebted in large sums to all the tradesmen in Norwood , and , therefore , it was not likely that he would be able to find sureties amongst thorn . —The pr isoner , with some warmth , said that it mattered little to tho present charge -whether he owed £ 5 or £ t 5 , 000 . —Mr .

      taking his own bail . It was ultimately arranged that the prisoner should remain at tho station-houso for the night . " Raisins the Wind" by Advertisement . — J . Parton was charged with obtaining £ 10 from It . Waller , under false p retences . About thc beginning of the present month an advertisement anneared in a morning paper , for a respectable young man to fill tho situation of clerk and collector , at " a salary of a guinea a week . Thc complainant "Waller , "who at the time was clerk to his father , replied to the advertisment , and received an answer , stating that the situation was open to him , provided he was able to deposit £ 10 with the advertiser as a security .

      The result was that he came to town , deposited £ 10 in the hands of the prisoner , who assured him he had plenty of business for him to do in collecting rents , and had represented himself as a house agent and a collector of rents . On the following Monday the complainant entered on his duties , which turned out to be exceedingly light , for all he was requested to do * was to write replies to the advertisements which appeared in the morning papers from servants , to the eftect that if the advertisers could not get suited they might call , and on Saturday night lie was paid his guinea . On going to resume his duties on tho Monday , the prisoner told the complainant that it made no particular difference to _ him whether he was at tho office or not ; and this circumstance having opened the eves of the latter , he

      requested his £ 10 back , but this was not convenient . The prisoner ultimately wrote a note to the complainant , stating that certain circumstances prevented him from returning the £ 10 on the day he had named , but declaring that he should on another day named ; and this had evidently been in the nope of eliciting such a reply from the complainant as would make the matter one of mere debt . The complainant , fortunately , did not reply . —The officer who apprehended thc prisoner said the whole of the things in his office were not worth five shillings , and produced a county court summons , returnable on the Mth inst ., and a distress put in by his landlord on the 12 th , for 13 s . 6 d ., and all the money found on the prisoner was 3 Ad .

      Curious Discovery of Anciext British Coins . —Wharidon Chase , which was long the resort of Nimrods for hunting deer and foxes , has become the lan'd of gold-hunters . About a week ago some men ploughing in a field belonging to Mr . W . Lowndes , found gold coins scattered about rather profusely , the repart of which SOOn got l ' ntO CIl'CUla ' . ion , as well as some of the coins , which led the neighbouring people to lend a willing bai . d in such a ploughing match . Some hundred coin- " , it is said , were found , and were clearly those of early British kings . The one shown to the writer of this paragraph was struck in tbe time of Cunobelin or Kymbelin , about fourteen years before the Christian

      era . The weight of it 13 about 180 grains , and a good representation of it may be seen in the Penny Cych }) cedia , article " Britain , " copied from a coin in the British Museum . A horse rampant is on the obverse , and a thistle or wheat-ear on the reverse . Cunobelin is said to be the first British king who bad his effigy stamped on his coins ; someiimes with two faces like Janus , whose temple was closed during his reign . Six others bear one face onlyt Three have the name "CVNO" on them , and anoth r the horse and wreath , similar to the one now found . Cuuobelin is said to have fought a battle at Thornborough-bridge , within three railea of Whaddon , and near tbe site of the battle are two tumuli or barrowsone of which , was opened about
