His Honor then , with great feeling , expressed his abhorrence of the crime the prisoner had committed , and his regret at the inadequacy of the law as it now stood , there being no medium between transportation for life , ft > l- the capital offence , and that of imprisonment for the assault , hovrever gros :- it may be ; but the law , he was happy-to say , was about to be altered in this respect , when it would enable justice to meet the crime . The sentence of the court was , that he be imprisoned in Parramatta Gaol for three years , the first week in every month to \ je in solitary confinement .
THE GAME LAWS . Exthaokdisaey Peoceedings . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Croydon Bench of Magistrates , at the Town Hall , on Saturday , Mr . Richards , solicitor , of Croydon , attended before Messrs . Reid , Adams . Lucas , and A . R . Barclay , tlie presiding magistrates , to apply for a wurrant of commitment against a labourer , named Robert I ' ninpbe . U , for an oficnee against the Game Laws . The circumstances under which the application was made were these : —The defendant was charged upon an information , in February last , with shooting a partridge out of season , and not having a game certificate . He did not appear to the information , and the bench fined him , in his absence , five j )» imils and cost * . The defriulaiit
was living the sen ice of a gentleman at Chelsham , when- the offence was committed , but he absconded , and was away for several months , when lie returned to his service , and Mr . Richards then applied for a wan-ant to commit him to gaol in default of paying the penalty and costs . The application was made to Mr . Adams and other justices , who were not parties to the original conviction , and they , on that ground , refused to grant the warrant . Another application was subsequently made to Messrs . Reid and Lucas , who had convicted in the first instance , but the person who was then produced by Mr . Richards to prove the demand of the amount from the defendant failed to satisfy the bench that he had done so , and they again refused to commit the party and the application was now renewed a third
. Mr . Richards , having made his application to the bench , expressed an opinion to the effect that there had been unnecessary obstacles thrown in the way of the prosecutor by the bench . Mr . Adams denied , on the part of himself or his brother magistrate , that they had any iutention to throw obstacles in the way of the proceeding . The object sought for was to deprive a poor man of his liberty many months after the conviction , and it was the duty of the magistrates to take care that proper legal steps were taken . Mr . Ricliards on the former occasion had expressed an opinion that it was not necessary for the same magistrates who had convicted to sign the commitment ; and he ( Mr ; Adams ) entirely differed from him on that point , and would certainly not have signed the commitment , unless the Court of Queen ' s Bench told him he was bound to do so .
The Chairman expressed his opinion that the whole proceeding was of a most extraordinary character , and that the present application ought not to have been made ; It turned out in the course of the proceedings , that the police were in-the habit of being engaged as informers in cases where they actually knew nothing of the circumstances . :

¦ The application was refused , and Mr . Adams , at the conclusion of the proceedings , said he thought that the bench , after what had passed that day , ought , to make some rule with regard to making the police appear as informers in cases they had nothing to do with , and of the facts of which they were entirely ignorant . It was calculated to create inconvenience in many ways , and was also likely to bring them into very undeserved odium with the public .
CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT . TcESDAT . —Hiqhwat Robbeky . —Alfred Pratt , aged twenty-four , a painter , at Glapham , was indicted for stealing , on the Queen ' s highway , five sovereigns , from the person of S . Groves .

They were drinking together till three f . m ., and went to Clapham , where they reside , and there they regaled themselves with ale and cigars until nine o ' clock , when witness left , to go home . The prisoner followed , and thrust him down , and put his hand in his trousers pocket , and drew out his purse , which he after , wards returned . Witness found the next day that three sovereigns out of five had been abstracted . Quite sure his sovereigns were safe when he was at tho public-house . The jury , after retiring from the court forty minutes , returned with a verdict of "' Acquittal . "
Then ; were symptom * oi upiirobutioi . munite ^ ted th . Court on the return of the verdict , in which one of the jurors joined .

It appeared from the -evidence that the prosecutor , who is a police constable , on tht > 21 st of October , whilst on duty in Thames-street , took a drunken man oi' the- name of Corriey into custody ; that the prisoners endeavoured to rescue Corney , when another policeman interfered . Lock was , however , ultimately knocked down and otherwise severely injured , from the effects of which his life was endangered .

The prisoner wtnick the front of the dock , and exclaimed with great vehemence— " All I can saj agin it is , that I'm as innocent as that board . " ( inoss Depravity by a Servant . —Ann M'Cormiek , aged 2 . ' ? , was indicted upon swo separate indictments , the first charging her with stealing one sovereign , the nroperty of Leah Aarons , and tlu * second with unlawfully , by fraud , enticing away Julia Silva , aired about ten , and under eleven years , with intent to deprive the parents of the lawful care of such child .
It appeared bv the evidence , that the prisoner was in the service of the child's father , Mr . Silva , and Leah Aarons was her fellow-servant , in whose box was placed a sovereign and some silver , the former of which the prisoner stole by breaking tlie lock . Xo doubt could be entertained but the object she had in view in taking the money was to promote , more successfully , her abominable designs upon the child Julia Silva , whom she induced the next day to . go out for a walk , when , aftor buy ins her nonie cakes and other trifling things , she placed her in a cab and causal her to be driveij to Charles-court , in the Strand , a locality well-known as the resort of the most profligate and infamous characters . The poor child remained there some time in one of tlie common brothels in that court , when she found an opportunity of writimr privately to inform hep sisti-r . who : it once came , and fortunately took her ' awiu before she was subjected to anv ill-usacre .
The jury , without ' a innnici . t ' s he-itation , returned a verdict of < iuilty . The Coniiiion-Scrsjeant siiii i ( wus mo > t ( SHontial in this case , in which was displayed so much depravity , that a severe example should bo made of tlie offender , for the protection of the public and the general cause of morality . In the eye * of the Court , independent- of the robbery , nothing could be more deserving of the severest punishment than to entice a child of tender age from the protection of its parent ; ; and the sentence of the Court , therefore , was , that the prisoner be transported beyond the seas for seven rears .

The night before deceased ' s death she had partaken ot some brandy bitters with tlie prisoner , which was supposed to have contained the poison described in the indictment . The deceased exhibited before and after death symptoms of having been poisoned , but the medical evidence on the trial shewed that this was at least a matter of great doubt . Under these circumstances the Jury returned a . vcrdict of " Not Guiltv . "

IRELAND . —REPEAL ASSOCIATION " : l > i : ui . i . N , Nov . L . 'b ' T . H . —The usual weekly nieotini' of this association took place to-day in the ConeiUationhalj , wliich . tifi is usual on Mr . O'Connell ' s re-appearance , was densely crowded in every part , not excepting the ladies' galleries . Shortly before one o ' clock the Hon . and Learned Gentleman made his bow amidst the most enthusiastic applause , when , upon the motion of Lord 1-Yres < , h , Mr . M . O'Connell , M . P ., was called to the chair . After the minutes of the last day ' s proceedings had been read , Mr . O'Connell invested himself with a new crown-shaped cap of green velvet , richly decorated with golden wreaths of shamrocks . When the cheering wliich he thereb y produced Iiad subsided , he said , that before entering into the immediate business
ol the day , he wished to offer his most hearty congratulatious to the Repealers of Dublin on the triump hant result of the municipal elections on the preceding day . The Irish people had been heretofore kept in subjection ] by their disunion among themselves ^ but a better day was dawning upon them . The Repealers had t > ehaved in the noblest manner on tlic day before , and the effect must be most salutary on the cause of Ireland . It would show that professing Liberals who ijoined the Tory party in their efforts to strike out the Repeal voters ' from the roll could have no chance of succeeding in their object . He proclaimed such conduct as treason against the people ; and he wouldjnot have interfered in the election in the Linen-hall Ward against Mr . Ex-Alderman- Grace if it had not been adopted there .
Mr .. O ' i / onnell again rose , and said he had to hand in 11 ., the ( subscription of the Rev . Mr ! Moriarty , of Phiijidelphia , whom he regretted to sec in this country . ; Personally , he rejoiced to see him , but be regretted ovceetlinuly tin- i-nuse that had brought him there—it was to raUe money to rebuild the C ; it ] i . ilic cliin ' cix s that had been hurnt during the late riots . ( JTear . ) The public were aware that atrocity unpajfrilleled in civilized times—horrors that mad" men ashamed to Ih-Iohl' to human naturehad iioci ! perpetrated by the inhabitants of Philadelphia under the name of natives , against tlie Patholier and the Irish . On the first occasion of these riots , they held a meeting for the purpose of entering into resolutions against the Catholics , and , as the Iri < h were allowing them to proceed peaceably , they moved an adjournment into the Irish quarter . ' TheV
wont looking for a riot , and the person who went amongst Irishmen for such a purpose was not "likely to be disappointed , or , if he were , he could easily get up ; i riot himself . They destroyed two Catholic churches , and on the 4 th of July , the anniversary of American independence , that brutal and barbarous mob got the ] authorities to disarm the Catholics under the pretence that they should be protected , and then attacked them , until they were driven back by a siiperioif military or militia force . Such was the origin of this horrible instance of bigotry and fanaticism . ( Hear , hear . ) It was from the system of miscreant murder , that his rev . friend had returned , and lie trusted that his introduction of him to that association would not be injurious to him in his effort to collect subscriptions for the erection of these churches . ( Cheers , and "jHear , hear . " ) 1 he
Rev , Mr . Moviaktv then addressed the meeting , and alluding to the Philadelphia riots , said : — - Their houses : had l ) cen laid waste , their churches burnt—Ills own fife had been three times attempted in the public streets of Philadelphia . ( Loud cries of "Oh ! oh !")! lie had nothing to depend upon for hi . * protection but his own fearlessness , and he did not doubt but that he and his fellow-countrymen in America would again raise up the cross to bV encircled by a wreath of shamrocks . ( Loud cheers . ) He trusted that these words would be heard " across the Atlantic . The de > i _ u of these parties was ti > exter minate or frighten them . ( Cheers . ) lie trusted no Irishman vvoiild leave America . It was intended to ti icrhleii clergy and laity out of that country ; but they were ! t « t U . be frightened . ( Loud cheers .

Repeal in ; London . —Thursday , Nov . 28 , 1844 . — Mr . O'ConneHs speech at the Limerick banquet has given groat satisfaction to the Repealers of this metropolis . Now that he professes to have eschewed Whiggism and Federalism , it is expected that he will for the future unswervingly adhere to the path of simple Repeal . His experiment , of trying to give to Federalism " a locality and a name" having failed , is a cause of : much gratulation to the ardent Anti-Unionists , who are now more sanguine than ever of the ultimate'Success of the cause they have so much at heart . | It is expeqted that a remodelling of the Wardenmote will shortly take place , and the sooner this is done the better .
The castigation given in the Star of last week to the te . rgivei'sation of the Nation—its pandering to Whig notions one week , and denouncing them the next—though considered to be rather ] severe , is admitted to be but too well merited . The triumph of Repeal over Federalism is another instance of the right views t ^ ken by the great bulk of the operatives . The time is coming , nay , now is at hand , when strong minds will prevail over names , however great . There is , after all , much justice in the motto , "Measures-, not men . " Fix . sniRY Ward—Three Hats , Islington-Greek . — At a late meeting of this Ward , Mr . Philip Tumble , K . W . ajnl V ., presided . The meeting was ably addressed by ; Messrs Dunne , 0 'Maley , and Lally , and 1 "> o pei-soris enrolled themselves as associates .
(' li ; mu : nwjell Wakd . —On Sunday evening last , a la rye meeting was held at the " Horse and Groom , " Tunmiill-street . Mr .. O'Keefe in the chair ? The speeches of the Liberator at Limerick were road , and Mr . Nolan addressed the assembly at great length on the present prosperous aspect of Repeal , and showed that it was to the liard working Irishmen , and not to tiie wealthy classes , that Ireland had to look to alone . Mr . Calanan next addressed the meeting in an impressive strain , calling on those present to rally around the Repeal standard , and victoiy was certain . Several were enrolled .
Dkihy-lMe Ward . —On Sunday evening last , the large room at the Craven Head , Drury-lane , was crowded to excess ; Mr . Poole , R . W ., presided on the occasion . Mr . J . S . 0 'Gornan , in an elaborate speech , dwelt at great length on the late opinions of the French press on Repeal , which had been copiously extracted by the London press . He said that the Journal des Debate had said that Repeal would he the cause of separating the aristocracy from the democracy . He Ithen most ably argued that , instead of causing a separation , it would unite together more firmly than before . Mr . O'Gornan was loudly cheered throughout his speech . Twenty were enrolled , i
Grattan Ward , White Lio . v , Druby-lane . —Mr . Kennedy was in the chair . The meeting was addressed by the Rev . Mr . Furlong and Messrs . O'Niel and Horraghan . Thirty were enrolled . Nearly the whole of Sunday evening was occupied on the various speeches of the Liberator at Limerick . The " Northern Star" on Repeal . —Now that the Star anpeai-s in London , Its connexion with Repealers will not doubt be increased ; and it may not be improper here to insert a list of all the Repeal wards in and about London , in order to afford tacilitic o such as may wish to visit them in the different localities . We insert them , without any attempt at classification . 1

Seriocs Affray at Penrith . —Tlie quiet little town of Penrith , Ciunberland , wasgthrown into an unusual degree of exitement and alarm on Monday afternoon Inst , by reason of a tumultuous disturbance created amongst a number of drunken and disorderly navigatoi-s . A general and desperate affray took p lace in BurroWL'ate and Sandgate , when one poor feilow was knot-ked down , and kicked in such a brutal manner , that but ftvint hopes are entertained of hi ? recovery . One of his eyes was nearly knocked out , and lie was also j / i » - * t sevrrely I / raised ou Ids temples , the back part of his head , limbs , and back . Two or three constables were presently on the spot , when one of tlie most desperate of the navigators drew a
large kniie and cut the hand and most savagely kicked constable Noble . The riotora ' soon afterwards effected their retreat into lod g ing-house , the doors of which they barred , and ai-med themselves with pokers and other weapons , at the same time threatening to stab the woman who kept the house if she offered to open the door . By this time a number of constables had arrived , who demanded entrance , which was refused , when the door was broken open , and three uf them , who used every resistance , were handcuffed and taken to prison . On Tuesday the prisoners were taken before tlie magistrates ; but in consequence of the man who was so much injured not being able to attend to giye evidence , the prisoners were remanded till Thursday .
