Frederick Locke , clerk to the principal secretary of the Lord Chancellor , said the

      prisoner did not belong to the court , and that no petitions had been sent for ihu parties alluded to . — Ths prisoner , in his defence , said , that he had never represented himself as anything more than an igont , and that he had undertook , as he would any odd job that fell iu his way , to obtain for these poor people property which he believed to be iu thiit nanctum sanctorum , the cottVrs of the Receiver-General , and was the legal heritage of his prosecutors .

Justice Patteson said the Conit was of opinion that , upon the wimlc , it was better that the trial should be po 3 'poue < I . The indictment had only been found a very short time , and it was certainly necessary that the eoun-elfor the defendant should have an opportunity ot seeing it , and of consulting the defendant respecting it , and when it was stated that the defendant cuij not go about the

      Streetsatthe present time , without danger of violence of a serious kind , it appeared to the Court that to hurry the trial on , under such circumstances , would hardiy be consistent with the interests of justice . He should have been glad if it had heen in any way in the power of the court to havo secured tho attendance of the other defendant , but as she had not been in custody that could not be done . All the Court , therefore , could do at present was , to direct that the trial should be postponed to the next session , upon the defendant and his sureties entering into the necessary recognizances . —The required sureties were shortly afterwards entered into , and the erise was ordered to be placed on the jndges' list at the next session .

      THE THREATENED STRIKE ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY . The Observer sajs : "From all that could be ascertained up to Saturday evening—and we believe we may speak almost officially on the subject—the late dispute between the authorities of the London and Sorth Western Railway and the engine drivers and firemen in their employ has been finally settled . So far as the northern divisions is concerned the men to whom the declaration . is to the three months' notice has been put have , without hesitation , signed the declaration that they agree to it ; whils * , en the sonthern division , the men have acteii

      in an equally conciliatoiy and praiseworthy spirit . On Friday , in pursuance of the resolutions adopted at tie meeting of the men held at the Railway Tavern , on Thursday eight , Mr . M'ConnelL , the chief of the locomotive depnrtment of the southern division , received a very respectful letter from the men , expressive of their regret at the differences whic- ; had arisen , and their hope that their removal from the service of the company would be far distant . This letter was accompanied by the resolution to the same effect , adopted at the meeting . "

About fifty drivers and firemen had assembled at the Railway Tavern by ten o ' clock , when the chair was taken by Richahd "Waihsb . He observed that since their last meeting a good many of the men at Camden station had received notice to leave ti . e company ' s service in a fortnight , and that he himself was one . lie had been some years in the employment of the companj . and he could only say that je was perfectl y satisfied with his employment . He had never proposed a strike , and never wished

      THE MIXERS OF THE NORTH . The niseis of Coxhoo Colliery , near Ferry Hill , Durham , held a public meeting and tea party on New Year s Day , in commemoration of the re-establishment of the Union at that place , and to take stock as it were of the benefits arising thorefrom . The tea , which was generally approved of , and i'reat credit was given to the ladies who prepared the same , was conducted in the most praiseworthy manner , the best order being preserved , notwithstanding tho large room was densely crowded . The tea being over , Mr . W . Nichols was called upon to preside , and opened the meeting by the

      following remarks . Mr . Nichols said that the evils « f which tho miners generally had to complain were multifarious and of great magnitude , and were he to indulge in the idea of reviewing the whole of them , such being their extent and ramification , he would necessarily occupy more time than as a chairman he should be entitled to , hence he would apprise them that the remedy for those evils was in their own hands ; they had but to become united , and many of these eviis would pass away , as indeed they ha-. ! iiad experience of during the " short time they had been united . If so much could be done

      by tne taming of a few men together , behold the grand results which would necessarily follow the formation of a National Union of all Trades . Let us then join the National Trades Association , . and thus lend a hand to purge society of its corruptions , and help forward the cause of Democracy . The Chairman on resuming his seat was loudly cheered , and immediately after he introduced to the meeting the veteran miner , B . Embletos , an individual who , although verging on his eig htieth year , is still working laboriously to establish the good cause and which he has laboured at for upwards of

      forty years . Mr . Embleton dwelt first on the proposition of what constituted labour , and its present position . Secondly , what it ought to be . Thirdly , what i he labourers could accomplish in bringing to labour its due reward . The speaker then enforced iu his usual and demonstrative manner the true properties of labour , and showed how those properties had been made to serve other purposes , illustrating the same by picturing the present condition of the labourer , and concluded an energetic address by pointing out the proper reward of labour , and how t <> accomplish it . The audience testified their approval by enthusiastic cheers .

      Th « i Chairman then introduced Mr . T . Pratt , who entered at great length iuto the evils arising from the predominancy of one portion of the community over the other . He also set forth the necessity of the helot class becoming united , and thus aid the cause of progress , concluding with a peroration calling ujHiii the audience to be prepared to awake from their sluu . bers , for the time was at hand when a mighty struggle would come , and those only who were prepared , by batidiug themselves together , could expect to be saved . Rally , then , around the standard of union , and never cease your agitation till every son of toil ha 3 his ri ghts conceded him , and liberty , glorious liberty , is proclaimed to every son of man . which was followed by repeated cheers . Jlr . It . Hodgson was then called upon to address

      the meeting , who descanted at considerable length on th p liioral , Miei . il , and political condition of tbe working « ia > -. se . s ; demonstrating the necessity of their having their political ri ghts before they could achieve their true position , either morally or socially , nevertheless {« jid Mr . Hodgson ) it is our duty to war and combat with the abuses of society , and if those who siow hold the franchise will not aid us in obta ; nii > t . ' our pniitic . il ri ghts , let us organise a g igamk' h ' Ii < . ' : hh of co-operation , which , if we carry it out w ; iii spirit , will ultimately bring its reward , by the , ! ii : ; ik < n < i wciaily , and compel our rulers to cmanriiiat * :: ho enslaved masses by granting them the fr : « : < jhiM .-. Mr . Hodgson ' s address was well receive ;! .

      Tiik Cha :: im . \ n * next introduced Mr . R . Archer , the t : 'ki . to-. i advocate of the people ' s rights , who st . » : « ¦ •«{ . ih-. a :: r . tii >? preceding speakers had properly -ii -. > y .- < t <) oii man to man , and allowed no fear no ,-c-ri « : ir . i ;< - > - io take possession of their hearts , they vouia >>! , v .. r < , v ( r their present condition , secure a gre . « j- ; rn-nn . i : of freedom , and ultimately obtain their l . i-irir ^ io r-ghts . He trusted , then , that each "lie pre .-. Tii * !•• : ! .. » 'in his duty , for it was by

      perseverance <« ny " , nvy emild expect to achieve their < -maucip : n c ; i , n .. < i tint , of their rising generation . Let each -mv ' -ic determined to so act his part as to leave the vu . rld inner than he found it , thereby securing an increase : ! extent of liberty to his children who would read in the life of their fathers their own duty , and thus the canse would progress , and the " Good time coiniiiL ' " would iu reality be verified . The proceelitiys wem brought to a close by a role nf thank * u < ; iv ladies , for their able assistance . t the tea , lik ; v .-o u » the chairman , when three rounds of appl-mse wcro given for the Union and the People ' s Charter . The assembly then dispersed , highly deli ghted with the proceedings , which were marked throughout by unanimity and concord .

      A meeting of a similar character took place on Christmas Day , at Seat . on Deleval Colliery , when about 700 of the workmen met together , their chief manager , Mr . Foster , being in the chair . The p-irties who addressed the meeting spoke freely out , notwithstanding the presence of their employers , and all urged , with : m earnestness which could not be mistaken , the necessity of being united , and acting together in harmony and concord . The resolutions , which were all unanimousl y agreed to , were expressive of the working mens desire to acquire knowledge , and thus ensure the improvement of themselves and families , physically and intellectuallv .

      Having , after the close of the above proceedings , called the attention of the prominent men , at the above colliery , to the Defence , or Honesty Fund , now being raised to indemnif y Mr . O'Connor , they at once agreed to assist , if a book was sent them . Of course that was done , and , on the next day , the book was returned , having subscriptions to tho amount of ten shillings and ninepence , which 1 forward you for insertion in this week ' s Star . _„ _ ,, ,., M . Judk . P . a . —Tho chief part of the colliers lay idle for a fortnight or three weeks at this time of the year ; but it is hoped , when they resume work again , that the suggestion in the Star of the 2 Sth of December , for a general subscription for the above object , will be carried out , not only in these two counties , but in tho mining districts of Great Britain . —M .

After tea a public meeting was held to explain the objects of the Miners' Association . Chas . Binxs , Esq ., the head colliery master , very handsomely consented to take the cbair , and , after a few opening remarks , introduced Mr . Vm . Daniells , who had been sent for from Staffordshire to address the meeting ; . He was cordially received , and cheered during his long address , after which the following resolution was passed .

      Moved by Mr . Joshua Cdtts , seconded by Mr . Wm . Walker : — "That it is the opinion of this meeting that ^ the Miners' National Association is calculated to improve the condition of the mining niipolation mentally , morally , and physically ; and as it also has a tendency to benefit both the employer and the employed , we consider it ought to be supported and encouraged by both parties , to that a more correct and better feeling may be brought a ' limt between them than has heretofore existed . ' The Chairman then made some pertinent re . marks on the principles and inleut of the Associat « on . which he said he approved of , and hoped the « nners would stand together , improve their minds , « nd do their duty , and he would do his ; he hoped , before long , both masters ar . d men would be united

      together to promote each other ' s welfare . He then put several questions , which were satisfactoril y answered by Mr . Daniells . Mr . Clark having made a short speech , and a cordial vote of thanks having been given lo Mr . Bums , the company partly retired , as the room was d-nsely packed , and tbe rest began to " trip it on the light fantastic toe , " and all went on as " merry ¦ is marriage bells . " This meeting has done great good ; many who were formerly opposed to the Miners' Union are now convinced " of its utility .

      Meetings have likewise been recently held at Chesterfield , to petition for an ei g ht hours' bill , at Topton , , Lings , Grassraore , Wingfield , Kimberly , haswood . Cassall , Droufield ( thirty-eight joined hers ) , Sianeley , Bri tnmington , &c . All these meetings were addrested b y Mr . Daniells , and many added to the ranks of the Association . The Union is in a ter promising way in these two counties ; it is becoming very popular , and bids fair to become very strong in a short time . Mr . Clark , one . of the agents , has also lately held several jood meetings with fair success .

Broughton on the charge of having uttered a counterfeit sovereign at the hou 3 e of Mr . Best , the George , Queen Annestreet , Cavendish-square . A great many spurious pieces purporting to be of the denomination of coin alluded to have recently been passed to tradesmen in the district of this court in payment for goods purchased of them , and there is every reason to suppose that a well organised gang of " smashers " are pursuing their nefarious practices in various

      parts of town to a considerable extent . —Anne Price , barmaid to Air . Best , said that on Saturday afternoon last the prisoner came to the counter anil asked for a bottlo of pale brand y , which he stated ho was going to take to Wimpole-street . She placed it before him on the bar , when he threw down a sovereign , which she weighed , and , finding that it was genuine , she put before him the change , amounting to Hs . lOd . ( 2 d . being deducted for the bottle ) . He then remarked that lie was directed to pay no more than 4 s . Gd .. but that he would go back and see if the price would do . She gave him back his sovereign aud took possession of the brandy and change ; upon which he remarked , " Well , I think I'll take the brandy after all , and chance it , " at tho

      same time putting on the counter another piece having the same appearance as the former . She ( the barmaid ) ascertained by wei ghing that this second piece was sadly deficient , and , being quite satisfied that the prisoner ' s object was of a fraudulent nature , she took the latter coin , which was a counterfeit one , to her master , who was then in Wimpolestreet , and the prisoner , who had in tho meantime left the house without obtaining anything , was soon afterwards observed by witness to pass " along the street last named . She pointed him out to her master , by whom he was detained until the arrival of a constable ; he was then conveyed to the

      stationhouse , and locked up . —Rcgim , 18 1 ) , by whom the prisoner was taken into custody , said that he had been to tho address given by him ( prisimer ) , and found that he was not known to any one on the premises . —The barmaid wag cross-examined with mue . li shrewdness by the prisoner , but he did not in the slightest degree benefit himself thereby . —The spurious coin was handed to the magistrate ; tho impression on either side was well executed , but no doubt could exist with regard to the worthless character of the piece ; the exterior of which , however , to a casual observer , would be very likely to deceive , —The prisoner was then remanded for the attendance of the Mint Solicitor .

      Forgery . —Mr . E . Smith , who when taken by Lockerby , of the S division , No . 189 , said he was a chemist , residing in Seymour-street , Enston-squaie , was placed at the bar before Mr .

Thomas Hickin , of Druitwich . The hills purported to bear the acceptance of M r . William Hartley , of Peterchurch , near Hereford . Since the commencement of the inquiry two remands have taken place , and on Monday Mr . Ballantine Appeared , as upon the last occasion , for the prosecution . Mr . Huddlestone attended for the prisoner , whose relations are , it is said , highly respectable . —Mr . Hadley was sworn ,

      and he stated that the acceptances to the bills were not in his handwriting , neither hud he at any time authorised the prisoner , of whom he had some knowledge , to affix any signature to a bill in his name . — The two learned gentlemen engaged in the case examined and cross-examined at some length , and as Lockerby was of opinion that he should be ab ' e to show , in the course of a few days , that the prisoner had committed other forgeries in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire , he ( the prisoner ) , who , acting under the advice of his counsel , had nothing to say , was remanded till Monday next . WESTMINSTER . —Begging Letter Impostor . —W . Thomas alias Lanliani , alias Holland , a notorious begging letter writer , was charged with

      practising the following gross imposture . —Mr . Cripps , barrister , 11 , Walton-place , Chelsea , stated that about a month ago a man presented himself at his residence with the following note : — " The Kev . G . B . Dalton , rector of Lambeth , presents his compliments to II . W . Cripps , Esq ., at tho earnest request of the bearer , George Lanham , who informs him that his brother and sister lived as domestics iu your respected family for some years at Cirencester , and were well known to almost every member of your family . I beliove him to be an honest and deserving character , and as such feel most happy in recommending his cafie to your benevolent notice . The enclosed speaks sufficient as to the distressed state in which the poor man is placed . —

      Vicarageplace , Lambeth , Nov . 22 , 1850 . "—Accompanying thU was a distress warrant against his goods , at the suit of tho applicant ' s landlord , and a list of subacriptions towards paying the arrears of rent . Complainant knowing the rev . gentleman whose name was used , and believiuer the application to be genuine , gave tho man 15 s . but he had hai-dly left the place when , on looking over the letter again he felt confident he had been imposed upon . It was nearly-dark at the time he was the applicant , and he was unable , therefore , to speak to the prisoner ' s identity . On last Saturday ni ght a man called and left a note purporting to comofrom"A . Wilde , overseer of Chelsea "Workhouse . " Knowing , as a guardian , that there was no such person , he sent for a policeman , and gave prisoner into custody . — William Ilorsford , chief officer of the Mendicity

      Society , then stepped into the witness box , and stated that tho prisoner was the general writer for a large gang of begging letter impostors . Apart from being the private secretary of these impostors , the prisoner had been committed from this court , for three months for a fraud upon Lord Ducie , and had since been committed for a like period by Mr . Beadon . —Mr . Broderip said prisoner was one of those impostors who went about preying on society , and diverting tho legitimate course of charity , which he could say , from his very lengthened experience , flowed most abundantly in this country , and was most abundantly imposed upon . No one currying on that disgraceful trado could expect au » ht but the full severity of the law , and ho , therefore , committed the prisoner for three months hard labour in the House of Correction .

Simms said , on Sunday evening , the 29 th of December , I went to Charlotte-street Chapel , Pimlico , and was requested by defendant to take a seat in the direction he pointed . I replied that as it was so late I would not disturb the congregation by going up the aisle . Defendant , who had a long gown on and was acting as a beadle , said , " You must . " I observed that I would rather not , upon which he said " then he must turn me out of

      the place . "' I immediately said , « Why , I am doing no harm here , when he pointed to a person whom I was afterwards informed was a police constable in plain clothes , and said , "he will soon pub you out . " I remonstrated with him in a whisper not to disturb the congregation , as I did not wish to be made conspicuous . He said , " You shall go out " and pushing the door open , called police constable 73 B , who was outside on duty , as I suopose I spoke to the constable , and asked him if he had instructions to take perBons away from that place of worship , and he said " No . " Defendant then followed me up , and put me out of the lobb y into the street . —Cross-examined : Ifc was duriug the sermon . I had my wife and a sister , and a witness who is now in attendance , with me . That witness used to attend worship at that chapel , which was

I think it a very serious matter on one side or the other . If this person went into the chapel with the object of disturbing the congregation he deserves condign punishment . In another sense , it is very serious as touching'the right of the public to be present at any place of divine worship while they conduct themselves properly , but I have no wisli to interrupt your reply . Pray proceed , sir . —Solicitor : The only explanation I lave to offer is , that there had been several persons

      in the aisle and body of the chapel distributing tracts and disturbing the congregation , About three weeks ago , a man rushed into the middle aisle , and running up it threatened to do some injury to the incumbent , in conscqueuce of which he ilee ' mad it necessary to lay down a regulation that every person should be required to take a seat or be turned out , as people about to disturb the congregation . Iftlic incumbent felt that a person luufentered the chapel , although impulsed only by motives of curiosity , and had no desire to disturb tbe congregation , he ; would betheyery last to desire , and tho first to regret , that any rudeness should be used towards him . Will you send this case to the sessions?—Mr . Broderip ( with evident

      astonishment , in which many of the auditory appenred to join)—Do you wish it sent to the sessions ?—Solicitor : Yes , sir . —Mr .
