      British Guiana , and that these comments had been " officially publisheu . With" reference to Ceylon , Mr . ' Baillie read a correspondence between Earl Grey and himself , in which his lordship had declined to ; send for certain Tntnesses ; named by him ( Mr . Baillie ) , oy direction of the committee , on the ' groand that the committee had no power to dele' gate such a power to its chairman ; the result of ' -which refusal would he to protract the inquiry beyond the present session . If the inquiry were folly and f-iirly carried out , he declared that acts of

      atrocity would be proved in comparison -with which the deeds of Field-Marshal Haynan in Hungary would appear mild and merciful . Mr . Baillie detailed certain acts ofilleg . il severity on the part of Colonel Drought , Captain Watson , and others ; hut he " could not undertake to prove his ease if the wit-- ness required were not produced . If there was to he any inquiry , it should be a fair one ; and the house should not support a Minister of the Crown in a bold and unblushing attempt to baffle and defeat it . - .

      Mir . HAWESsaidjlfhBailliehadinadeunqualifiedcharges against Governor Barclay , who , seeing them reported in a newspaper , had taken the first opportunity of vindicating himself . The proceeding of Mr . Buillie with regard to Ceylon , lie said , had been marked with his usual injustice . and want of candour . There bad been no refusal of witnesses ; the witnesses named by the committee had been sent for and were now in this country , and he desied that the committee had given potrer to tlieir chairman to name witnesses , the expense of bringing whom wou d be from £ 400 to £ 709 each . Mr . Hawes appealed to the honse whether Mr . Baillie ' s personal attacks especially upon Captain Watson , one of the witnesses to be examined before the committee , were most anjnst . Mr . Home said , as long as he co < ild do his duty in that house , he would take care that the atrocious proceedings in Ceylon should be inquired into , in spite of the unparalleled unfairness of thegovernment . .

      ' Mr . Dissueu accused Mr . Hawes of mystifying the house . " by the manner in which he had read the documents , and - declared it would not be creditahle to the house to desert - their committee . Considering thai the conduct of the gO-. vemment had been of a tendency to evade a fair inquiry , .. he proposed to amend the motion by adding the words , that 'in consenting to the re-appointment of the commit' tee , the Louse deemed it expedient to express its disappro-- nation of the manner in which her Majesty ' s government . had evaded the undertaking of last session for the further . production of witnesses . ' Lord J . Bcsseu . gave his exposition of the nature of the undertaking given last setsion , and contended that the com-- mitteehad gone heyond its legitimate powers if it meant to delegate to its chairman an absolute authority to command a Secretary of State to summon any witnesses he mi ght - choose to same without reasons assigned . Had proper

      explanations been given , Earl Grey would have secured the attendance ot the witnesses . Lord John regretted that 3 Ir . Baillie should hare raised these paiaful discussions , which would tend to disturb the tranquillity of the colony , where inflammatory reports were already in circulation , so that the peace and happiness of an important possession of ¦ the British Crown were involved in this question . Sir J . Gbabah exonerated Lord J . Russell from the . charge of baring violated hia promise ; his general impres-. sion , from the noble lord ' s character , was confirmed by his - recollection of what occurred . But practically the great ' question was , not a rote of censure moved without notice , but whattbe ends of justice required . Itwasimpossi-. ble that this inquiry could be stifled ; it must he prosecuted tvithout reserve , and without the least possible delay . The committee * might . meet to-morrow , and name the ' witnesses . .

      After a few . words from ifr . F . If adle , Mr . J&icnr , and HajorBLACKiLL , ' . Mr . Diseahi acknowledged that the amendment was open to objection for want of notice , and offered to withdraw it ; but Lord J . Rosseu . refused his consent , and the honse divided , when the amendment was negatived , and the mo' ' tion carried by 140 to 6 S . Mr . Hche then moved a resolution that certain witnesses should be summoned to attend the committee , which Lord - * X BusseH resisted , as a vote of censure upon the committee , and upon a division this motion was negatived by ' 109 to 100 . Itbeing now sixo ' clock , the house adjourned . ( From our Second Edition of last week . ) THtTBSDAT , January 31 st .

      . HOUSE OP IORDS .-Ad » bbss . —Earl of Essex - proceeded to expatiate on the topics alluded to in the - royal message . Their lordships , wo'ild , he was confident , sympathise with her Majesty in the loss which * the country had sustained in the death of Queen - Adelaide . ( Hear , hear . ) He was happy to say , that ¦ - oar interference on behalf of Turkey had been at" tended with the most happy results . The noble earl commented on the remaining portions of the speech , - and concluded by moving the address . Lord Mkiitokn seconded the motion , and in the - course of his speech deprecated the violence of the language that had been employed by theProteetionist agitators .

      Lord Sibasbboke could not feel contented with ¦ the barren expression of regret contained in the -address , at the overwhelming miseries Suffered by ¦ the agriculturists . His lordship proceeded with a - protracted history of agriculture , since the first - establishment of the corn law after the peace of ' 1815 , and concluded by moving the following amendment , after the words " commerce and manufactures : — " That we regret , however , to be compelled humbly to represent to your Majesty , that in many parts of the United Kingdom , and especially in Ire-: land , the various classes of your Majesty ' s subjects ' connected with the cultivation of the soil are labouring under severe distress , mainly applicable

      - in our opinion , to recent legislative enactments , ¦ aggravated by the pressure of local taxation . " The Earl of Dbsabi seconded the amendment , because he felt convinced that the interests of the ¦ landlord , labourer , and tenant in Ireland were fast progressing to a state of utter annihilation and ruin . After some remarks from Earl Carlisle , Duke of Richmond , Earl Fitzwilliam , Earl Graxtolb , . and Lord Brougham , Lord Stanley spoke at consi-- derable length , the Marquis of Lakdsdowne replied , and the house divided ; the numbers were : —For the Address—Present , 86 ; Proxies , 6 G—152 . For the amendment—Present , 69 ; Proxies , &t—103 . Majority for Ministers , 49 . The house thea adjourned until MoHday .

      HOTJSE . OF COMMONS . —The ADnRESS . —The motion was seconded by Sir J . Doke . Sir 3 . Tboixope moved an amendment of that part of the address which referred to the condition of agriculture , and the complaints of the owners - -and occupiers of land . He urged the difficulties - experienced by those classes throughout the coun-. try , who felt that their complaints had been treated ¦ with levity and disrespect , and who had in a firm tone maintained their right to be heard with atten-- tion by the Legislature . The amendment was similar to that moved in the - House of Lords . Colonel Chattebton , the new member for Cork , - seconded the amendment .

      The Chascelloh of the Exchequer was glad that on the first night of the session the amendment moved by Sir J . Tsoiiote , who called for a re-eon-- sideration of the recent legislative measures , would bring the great question to issue , whether ParUa-- ment should retrace its steps , or persist in that - course of legislation to which he believed the uni" - versa ! prosperity of the country was owing . Sir ¦ Charles entered into various details , founded upon official documents , showing the augmentation of our foreign trade . He maintained that the distress

      . amongst certain classes of the owners and occupiers of land in some parts of the country had - been exaggerated . He read statements of the imports - of foreign and colonial produce , and of shipping - entered in England , pointing out how much the ¦ results were at variance with the ioreboding 3 of the Protectionists ; and he wound these statements up with an announcement that every branch of the revenue had decidedly improved , the result being . that there was an excess of income over expenditure for the year of « 3 , 098 , 000 .

      Mr . H . Hekoebt supported the amendment , and "wai replied to by Mr . W . Fagak ; and after speeches from Sir J . Walsh and Mr . Berkeley on the motion of the Marquis of Gkasby , the debate was adjourned . until this day , and the house adjourned at twelve . o ' clock .

      ( From our Hard Edition of Las % Week ) . FRIDAY . ¦'" . ¦ " HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Adjourned Debate on the Address was commenced by the . Marquis of Grassy , who argued that even if free trade had placed the necessaries of life at a cheaper rate ' " within the reach of those who can pay , it had on the other hand far more largely cut off the rewards of labour when employment was obtainable , and in-• creased the number of the unhappy class who would find no market for their day ' s work . Mb . Desison , Lord Sorbets , Captain Pelham , and Mr . M'CutLAGH , supported the Address , and Mr . Chbistopheh the amendment . Mr . AIpSTZ estimated the Blessings of free trade at their full value , and believed that , in the devious ' course of our commercial policy , we had ruined the ' West Indies and Ireland : he defied the government ¦ to retrace their steps , and concluded by supporting the address ., " . \ , Mr . IlERHres , in reference to the advantages alleged to have been gamed by . the ship-builders , accused Ministers of having erected that fabric of ¦ prosperity upon a narrow and unworthy base , and , - with theaidof statistics of his own , betook to pieces the statements of the , Chancellor of th Exchequer , ' in order to show that the increase in this depart-- ment was neither real nor , even in its fictitious character , a result of the recent legislation , and concluded b y prognosticating a speedy return to the principle of protection . Mr . Labouchebe , in reply to Mr . Heme 3 , declared that he never made an assertion with greater ; confidence than that he believed the whole business connected with shipbuilding , instead of being paralysed , was in a most satisfactory state . He ' . denied that it was the intention of the gevernment ; to treat with the slightest disrespect the agricultural intereat ,: or to dispute the fact that severe distress did exist amongst the . owners and occupiers of land ; butnbthing could be more injurious to them - than to hold eut ah expectation of a return to a system of protection , and thus diverting their atten-. tion from . the proper means of improving their con-- 4 ition . .: " :. . ¦ . ; Mr . DiSBAraisaidiihere was distress in England , ' dismay in Scotland , and little short of desolation in Ireland . The member . f or Wolverhampton had ^ W ^ ' . J . > ss - .- tf ** # - \ . .

      boasted that a sum equivalent to nearly one-eighth of the national debt had been lost to theproducers of food within a very brief period . All this had been taken away from the agriculturists by-an ^ ac t of the legislature passed recently and . unexpectedly ; He cared npt Whether < l \ llses or peers gave : thehr adhesion to this view ' of thequestion the cause was the cause of labour , or it was nothing . Mr . Disraeli then addressed himself to the arguments of Sir C . Wood , reiterating his opinion that the exchange , and the value of British industry had diminished ; he contrasted the conclusions of the right hop . baronet with the result of elaborate calculations in the Economist , showing that during the last four years the manufacturers of Manchester bad been endeavoured to

      manufacturing at a loss ; and he demolish his inference drawn from diminished poor rates . Passing then to the special burdens Upon land , he asked the Manchester school if , as they averred , land was only a raw material , why it was taxed ? -whv they did not extend to land the same economical principles as to other raw materials ? The object of the amendmeufc was not to abrogate recent laws , but to obtain a recognition by that house of a distress that was notorious , and an expression of its sympathy with the distressed . Lord John Rdssell had no fear in meeting the positions of the hon . member , but he was unable to comprehend them . On his side of the house the amendment had been interpreted into a challenge for the revision of their recent policy ; but , on the other side , the interpretations had been extremely contradictory . The ministry vrere anxious to

      encounter their opponents on the broad principle , holding the conviction that nothing but injury could result to the country from any retractation of their free trade measures . He asked the house to be content with the present state of legislation upon this subject . If any measures of relief could be suggested for the distress of the landed interest without injustice to other classes , let them be considered ; but let no attempt be made to disturb a question now decided , the revival of which would create a doubt as to the stability of their decisions . Mr . Cobden , who rose and spoke amidst impatience in the house for a division , complimented the government on the freedom they had manifested from any tendency to falter with the question : he complained of the vagueness of Mr . Disraeli ' s speech , and called upon biro , in the name of the farmers of England , to givo notice at once of the time when he would discuss the question of

      protection . . \ Mr . Henby Drummond and Colonel Thompson addressed the house shortly , amidst strong symptoms of impatience . The house then divided , when the Address was carried by 311 against 192 . , The house adjourned at two o ' clock , until Monday .

      THE NATAL DAY OF THE IMMORTAL THOMAS PAINE , "Was celebrated at the Literary and Scientific Institution , Jutau . atreet , Tottenham-court-road , '¦ " on Sunday evening , February 3 rd , by a festival . Nearly four hundred persons sat down to tea . After the tables were cleared , and the outer doors opened , the rush for admission was terrific ; every nook and corner of the institution was crammed to excess , and many turned away , sadly disappointed , at not finding even standing room . The statue of Thomas Paine ( modelled by the notorious spy Edwards ) was placed on the platform , amidst an enthusiastic burst of applanse . Mr . James Watson having been called to the chair , the niaimificenfc . organ and Appollonic

      choir struck up the grand chorus of " Freemen rejoice" which was hailed with much applause . ' ¦¦ The Chaibmak expressed his delight at witnessing Ihe magnificent assemblage before him , met to do honour to one of England's greatest men .- ( Loud cheers . ) There was but one drawback to their pleasure , namely—the death of him who so ably presided last jear—Henry Hetberin £ tdn . ( Much applause . ) He had been a reader , of the works of Paine for thirty years , having first commenced at Leeds in Yorkshire , when it was difficult io get fifty together to express their opinions openly , and after the lapse of ttat period he saw no ground to change his Opinions ; bUti on the contrary , his opinions had been more and more confirmed . Let Fame ' s

      political opinions bo moulded into law , and then a social remedy would be found for our grievous wrongs—( hear , hear)—but the accomplishment of such an object was bo child's play—as they had priestcraft , moneyeraft , and propertjeraft for their opponents . During the past year , he ( Mr . Watson ) , had gone to Thetfordin Norfolk , the birth-place of Thomas Paine , to ascertain whether any information could be obtained relative to this extraordinary man . He met but one person , an aged quakeress , who said she knew Thomas Paine personally , he having been a visitor at her employers , who resided at Dunkirk , in France , during the" first revolution , but she either knew nothing , or refused to give any information l ' esnectinff Paine . The grammar Bchool in

      which Paine was taught still remained . All hoped to see the principles of Paine in practice , and sure he was that a few years under them would find the world wonderfully improved . ( Loud cheers . ) Chorus—' Now pray we for pur country . " Mr . Waiter Coomb rose , loudly applauded , to give the first sentiment as follows : " The people , may they not only know that union is strength and Knowledge is power , but" endeavour to produce the first and acquire the second . " ' The sentiment embodied two great principles of human . progress , union and knowledge , these alone could save the world . With union the people were powerful . Without knowledge what are they ? This was an excellent comnientarv on a certain verse in a

      certain old book , —" gel ; understanding . " With union and knowledge the people would certainly not remain slaves ; but slavs they would remain so long as they delegated their power of thinking to others ; never mind , although priests tell yeu , they are delegated by God , — think for yourselves . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . Cooper here entered into a statistical account of certain prisons" and penitentiaries , showing that the large majority of criminal inmates had been either acnolars or teachers at Sunday schools , and alluded to the want of knowledge amongst the people in bygone days , as illustrated in the burning of the philosophical apparatus , library , and house of Dr . Priestly , the cries of to hell ujith the Pope , death to Thomas Paine , and

      live the king , the parliament , and constitution ; thus mortgaging the bodies and souls , of their children , whilst Paine was' enforcing the glorious truths of common sense in America . . ( Hear , hear . ) But times were changing , and he hoped the people would give an extra impulse to that change by leaving those infernal dens—the gin shops—and crowd the free discussion halls . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The people must unite' to 'assist the great principles of Reform . France was not perfect , and great anomalies existed in America , and a greater man than Paine must . arise aud preach social equality . The great territory ; of America served the Americana at present , or they would

      speedily be as bad on as we are m England ; but fortunately America possessed political power ; and when she possessed social knowledge , her " people could have what they pleased . ( Loud" cheers . ) Lady Esther Stanhope , the niece of Pitt , had in her writings said : "My undo admits that Painewas right , " yet he prosecuted him . Knowledge was spreading . "" Frazer ' s magazine had an article on " Labour and the Poor , " which startled every body who read it . Frazer said : " If thousands of starving tailors and needle women be English society , 'tis the work of the devil , ; and to hell with it as speedily as possible . " ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mr . A . Oampeli > supported the sentiment .

      Chorus— " See our oars with feathered spray . " Mr . Thompson gave the second jgntiment , as . follows : — " Thomas Paine , the champion of civil and religious liberty , may the timejspeedily" arrive when the truth and justice of hispripciples will be univerr sally acknowledged , and w . heh'the people of all nations will have the Common Sense to recognise and defend the Rights of Man . " He had much pleasure in giving that sentiment , , because Paine had sent forth sentiments to stand on their own merits , without the aid of persons or names . Paine was a thoroughly virtuous man . . The ancientB said the best test of virtue was self-sacrifice , and Paine had endured persecution and ' imprisonment , and nearly lost his life . He had always deemed it

      his duty to serve the people , and not a faction . ,:. Mrs . Matthews , in rising to . support the sentiment , was greeted with louu applause . Paine had put forward prominently his political opinions , but he knew that little real good could be done whilst men ' s minds were clouded by superstition , and hence he issued the Age of Reason . " .. He had been hunted by priestly fiends and their satellites , and under such circumstances we must rejoice he maintained his integrity . : ( Cheers . ) He would , indeed , have been of small service to the Americans to have possessed the sword of Washington , and lacked the common sense of Thomas Paine . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . J . W . Linton , who had just returned from Switzerland , and had travelled all ni g ht in order to be present , was greeted with much applause . He said the Italian patriots were still determined to regain the liberties of their glorious Italy . ( Loud cheers . ) The men of the continent would' speeflily rise again for liberty . Struve and others were still imbued ' with ardour for the cause . of Germany , and Kossuth and Dembinski were still on the borders of Hungary . He trusted that England would be ready for a commonwealth , and that her sons would reecho the Italian sentiment— " For Gbdj ; our Country : Humanity , Liberty , Equality . " ( Loud cheers . ) Chorus— " The Chartist Ohaunt . " ; - ; ¦

      Mr . G . J : Holyoake gave the' third sentiment-: " The Press ! the great agent in the work of human ErOTess ; may its future operations be governed v the principles of justice ^ impartiality , and its mission be to promote ; peaco ^ nd . brotherhood amonw all the nations of the earth . ' Mr . Ublyoake alluded to the exertions made by tho late Carlile

      Untitled Article

      Hetheringtonj Cleave / ' and , their Chairman , and said they had made thought comparatively free , and the people have now ; the-courage to discuss liberal sentiments . Paine . had been called , a destroyer , of sods but that was a mistake . Pxino ' s' ^ was a reverential spirit ; , he had put forth sentiments on that side of tho question that would be looked for in vain elsewhere ; and he thought it one of tho highest testimonials a man could have , when ono wEo differed from him expressed so much . ( Applause . ) : Mr . Holyoake alluded to the committee formed for the purpose of freeing tho Press from its restrictions , and appealed for subscriptions to aidthe-cause ; The strongest proof of the necessity of a Free Press was this : when , nonsense was put forward , it found plenty of chroniclers , but when common sense , scarce any . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . R . Hart said he must risk , or rather court some unpopularity , by declaring that he did not cp-. incide with the principles enunciated by Thomas Paine . Then why was . he here ? Because ho believed that Thomas Paine was honest and . sincere , and deserved the meed of approbation from every good man . ( Loud cheers . ) He had been for some years connected with the provincial press ; and on occasions like this he knew it was usual to laud the Press ; but those who did so invariably censured it when they got home . He believed the Press to be a wide-spread evil , and the greatest curse they had . It represented the people as vicious—libelled them in every possible manner , and was itself most dishonest ; but this was tho fault of the people . Lot

      them mend themselves , and then the Press would become what it should be—a iooking-glas 3 , sending forth a true reflex . It was not by the sword , but by ideas , the . change must be brought about . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Stalmvooo , in support of the sentiment , said he agreed in a great measure with his friend Hart as to the character of the press , but surely ho ( Mr . Hart ) could not mean all : there were exceptions , A Voice : The Northern Star . ( Cheers . ) Mr , Ham : Yes , all without exception . Mr . Staixwood : Well then , he must differ with Mr . Hart . A friend had mentioned tho Aorthern Star . Now , ho was not so selfish as to see only the Northern Star . In the Dast they had Carlile ' s Gauntlet ; surely no ono

      would charge Richard Carhle with dishonesty ; neither would they their lamented friend Henry Hetherington in the conducting the Guardian , and other papers ; nor could he believe'that George Petrie , the author of the beautiful poem Equality t dishonest , when he contributed so largely to the columns . of The Man . ( Loud cheers . ) . Again , there was their worthy . Chairman , ' who had sent forth to the world a little work called the Working ifan ' t Friend . He hoped , if we viewed our Chairman through his . consistency , wo should say hig brochure advocated truth and justice . So much for the past , and now for the present . Would any ono venture to aay that Thomas Cooper ' s Journal was dishonest ? ' Arid uadtheyhot a Politicat Iniiructor

      beaming with philanthrophy , truth , and justice ? ( Loud cheers . ) And did not the teetotallers deem the Working Man ' s Friend honest : and surely the Spirit of Freedom was not to be deceived ; and some friend bad most opportunely placed in his hand tho Democratic Review ; surely the editor of that journal could not be said ito lack either boldness or honesty in proclaiming his sentiments to the world . ( Great cheering . ) And now for the Northern Star ; but allow him to say first , he had not—like his friend Hart—to ask himself why he was there , having attended Paine ' s celebrations for the last twenty years ; and most' thoroughly agreeing with Paine ' s political ¦ ' sentiments—although he differed with him . in theology , not because

      Paine- went too far , but , because he did not go far enough . He could say , moat sincerely , there was no part of his duty he attended with more pleasure , than these— " Paine celebrations . " ( Loud cheers ) He thought it would not be denied for a moment , that the past and present editors and conductors of the Northern Star , always possessed courage . and honesty .. suflBcient to give vent to sentiments akin to those ' propounded by ! the . man , ; whose memory they met tohignt to honour . As" a proof of this , he pointed to the leaders and reviews in that journal ; and , sure he was ; that there were several on that platform , who would acknowledge that the review department was conducted honestly , fearlessly , and faithfully . ( Loud cheers . ) Lastly ,

      there was Robert Owen , and others of their social friends , ' connected with the press—and were these to be classed amongst the dishonest ? ( Cheers . ) He looked forward to the time ; when there would be more weekly papers advocating the cause of the people , and a national dail y paper , gathering up and enforcing the democratic and social views of the people . ' The principal reason for his rising was to ask Mr . Holyoake , if it would be prudent to propound some of the practical proceedings intended by the committee to which he bad alluded , in order to induce more support , pecuniary and otherwise , to the good ofcect they had in view ? Did the committee intend that petitions should' be sent to the House of Commons , or did they tWnK of again risking Coldbath-fielda , Clerkenwell Bastile , or Tothill-fields prison ? if they intended the latter , he had suffered in Coldbath-fields before , and was ready for another breeze ., ( Loud cheer ' s . ) He

      agreed with the politics of Thomas , Paine , and hoped to see such an union of the people , as should cause them to be reduced to practice , and then he thought they might soon march on to a community of property . ( Loud cheers . ) - :. ¦ ... Mr . Richahd Moore said . as one of the committee , he just wished to say , that the Press committee did intend to petition the house , and ' eause a motion for the removal of all restrictions from the Press to be submitted for its consideration . As to the second question , whether it oould . be . fought by bringing out a paper unstamped , in defiance of Law , itliad been before the committee , but nothing decisive had been done on that matter , but for his part , under the present law , he thought it quite impossible . " The market Chorus" from Massiniello was given and'encored—whenthe ^ 'Marselhiis , " was judiciously substitutedamdist rapturous applause .

      , Mr . Staliwood moved a vote of thanks to Mr . Watson for the able manner in which he had presided , which was seconded and carried unanimously . Mr . Watson bowed his acknowledgement ; and thus terminated one of tho most numerous as-Bemblages ever met . to do honour to that noble of nature , Thomas Paine .

      MANSION-HOUSE . —RbBHEBT . —Mark Benjamin wag charged with having robbed S . Rathbone-of a silver watch and a key . The prisoner was defended by a solicitor . The complainant went on Sunday into Petticoat-lane , for the purpose of making some purchase , and upon being asked what o ' clock it was pulled but his watch , which was suspended by a guard round his neck , from his- waistcoat pocket , and told the' hour . Soon' afterwards ' the prisoner anil three other men closed round him , and shoved him along , and he felt the ¦ guard tight about his neck , so that he was sure somebody was nibblingat his-watch . He suddenly put down his hand , found that his watch " was . out of his pocket , and that only

      part of the guard remained , and he observed the prisoner in p 63 sessibn' of tho other part . '— Other personswho were , on 'the spot distinctly saw the prisoner pa » B the watch to another thiof , who contrived to get away . The whole transaction having been performed by able artists occupied' but a few moments , and all the gang got away with the exception of the prisoner , who was grabbed arid held by the complainant until the police arrived . —The prisoner : 1 am as innocent as the baby that ' s just agoing to be born . —Sergeant Dead y ^ of the City police , assured the Alderman that the prisoner was aregular trainer of children in the art ' of picking pqokets—The prisoner ' s solicitor hoped the Alderftian would not allow his client ' s case'to < he . prejudiced'by . a statement of so-injurious a nature , especially upon a preliminary proceeding aoainst

      the accused . —Alderman Humphrey : I am obliged to Deady for giving any information he is possessed of upon such an occasion ; It' happens that at the trialtheofficorwouldnot be allowed to deviate in the slightest degree from the direct evidence applicable ; to the case ; but you have the opportunity of hearing at once ' what can be stated upon the subject of the . prisoner ' s habits ;—Sergeant Deady , sworn—I have known the prisoner these bix years to be a very bad character , and'to be frequentl y employed in teaching boys the most approved method of picking pockets . His asBooiates are of the same class and they all live by the system ; which is much more general than ia supposed . —The prisoner was then committed for trial for' feloniously assaulting and robbing the prosecutor , and the City solicitor was directed to conduct the prosecution . ;

      . BOW-STREET . —Savage Assault upon a Poliok Constabm . — A cab-driver , named Andrews , was charged with assaulting police-constable 29 F . — Complainant ; whose face was severel y cut , stated that on Saturday afternoon he was on duty in Little Shire-lane , Temple-bar , when he heard a loud disturbance in the York Arms . Direotly afterwards the landlord of ^ he public-house called him , and he saw the prisoner ill-using a female in a moat shameful manner . He struck her several times in the face , and then knocked her down . The constable separated them ,- and the prisoner again struck tho woman a violent . blow , which brought on a fit . The
