      - *- - Birthday Op Thomas Paine. A Tea P...

      - _* - - BIRTHDAY OP THOMAS PAINE . A tea party and public meeting , in commemoration of the above event , was held on Sunday evening , by the society of Free Inquirers , meeting at th- * British Coffea * Rooms , Edgeware-road . A numerous party sat down to an excellent tea , the whole arrangements of which gave great satisfaction . Mr . Peel wa 3 called to the chair , and in an able manner explained the objects of the meeting . Mn . Shorter responded to the sentiment of " Thomas Paine and the Ri ghts of Man . " They were not only to show ih eir respect to the memory of Paine , but also to declare their allegiance to the principles which he advocated . They could not too often have presented to their notice the memory of those great and good men who had exerted their talents for the benefit of their fellow-creatures ; among that bright array none was more worthy of commemoration tban Thomas Paine . The epithet

      ofa rriend ofthe People was well deserved by him , and his name , and the Rights of Man , would be for ever indelibly associated . His opponents were the legisIa _* ors , the bishops , the prests , the lawyers , and tiie wealthy of tlie Land . "Erery artifice had been resorted to by them to bhehen Ids charac _* er . and root out the principles he was inculcating , but the result proved , that however error and prejudice might for a time gain the ascendant , that truth would ultimately prove victorious . Paine was entire !* universal in his views , —his principles and writin _ s were applicable to all countries and to all time . " _Rfl was a disinterested advocate , freely giving his labours and his writings for the public benefit . ; and even in the height of his popularity risking his fame by fearlessly advocating his theological -news . The spe aker then entered into an interesting detail of the labours of Paine in America , England , and France .

      Mb . Bowex also responded to this sentiment , " Time truly works wonders . " The man whose effig ies a few years back was burnt in the streets of almost every town in tbe kingdom , and whose name was uwd as an epithet to frighten children , was fast !¦ -coming the admiration of the people , and would , ere long , be looked upon as one of the _greatest men England had produced . It might truly be said of bim , " Though dead he yet _speaketh . " Mr . Loso ( in the absence of Mr . Holyoake , ) responded to tho sentiment ot " Tbe _Sovereignty ofthe People and the Fraternity of Nations . " In past ages the people were entirely neglected . History

      was only the record of despotic governors and not tbe history of the people . - It was not until men like IVmc started from the ranks of the people , aud breaking the banns of conventionalism , ushered in tbe dawn of a new state of things , that the people began to have any real _influen-e in the moulding of their own de 3 tinie 3 . Now every day was brin-. 'ing more converts to these doctrines , and hastening the hour when the people would be indeed ¦ overcigu . The Fraternity of Nations and tbe _Sover-oi _. nfT ofthe People were inseparably allied ; Fraterr . ity " could only flourish where a people were free . Then the world would be a garden of peace , none having a motive to fear or injure each other .

      5 _ln . _Bekvexi supported this sentiment . The great battle of the world was now to be fought . _Hithan i ihe many had always endured misery and death to promote the grandeur of the few . This had < _-ntircly arisen from the people being destitute of pol ' _-V-al power . If one nation had no right to _aggr-uidiso itself on the ruin of another , neither had one uiwi a right to do it on the ruin of his neighbour . The Sovereignty of the People was therefore equivalent to the Fraternity of Nations ; each presumed brotherhood and equality among all men . Mk . T . M . Wheeler and Mr . Mat responded to the seiuiment ofthe " Freedom ofthe Press . " Ma . Walfobd suggested that tbe society should commence receiving subscriptions for building a monument to the memory of Paine , and pointed out the advantages thereof . Several members spoke on the subject , which was adjourned for further consideration .

      _Between the various * jeauuients , the Girondist , Marseillaise , and other patriotic hymns , were given hy the Ononis ofthe Institution , and the assembly departed highly gratified with their entertainment .

      A Pamie Supper Took Place On Wednesday E...

      A paMie supper took place on Wednesday evening , at ;'< o Crown Tavern , to celebrate the above event . A very respectable company sat down to an exce ! ic ! it entertainment ; when the cloth was removed , Mr . Broome was called to the chair , and Mr . Lombard to the vice-chair . Tiro . _roeeedings commenced by singing the " Giroi _' dUtS * * ' and •• _Martfellaise " _iruii'S . The CflAiiuiAS gave tbe first sentiment : — " The memory of the immortal Thomas Paine . " They were assembled to do honour to one ofthose men

      whose footsteps wonld guide them in the paths of rect unie and justice . The Chairman then gave a very interesting and minute detail of the life and actions ef Paine , showing the _mighty influence he exercised in forming the American Republic , and the vast debt mankind owed to him for this service alone . Ue then dilated npon the humanity and courage he displayed during his career as a member rtf the National Convention in France , and praised his philosophy and trno devotion which actua te ;} him in braving all the prejudices of the time in writing his " Age of Reason . " He also euIo _^ _i- _' -dJ the conduct of Carlisle , Watson , and the Char ; _isi Executive , for popularising tbe works of this great writer , and concluded by calling upon them to join in one great struggle for their political i-i _! _ifc _* .

      Mr . Slocombe also responded to tbe sentiment , which was followed , as were all the other sentiment * , by appropriate songs and music Mr . Fungs responded to the sentiment of " The People . " The institutions of kingcraft and priestcraft were the relics ofa barbarous age , and would Bsrit away before the increase of knowledge and enlightenment whenever the people were appealed to . Dr . Parra responded to the sentiment , — "May Revolutions never cease until the Crowns of Europe are molted into type to print the Rights of Man . " The speaker showed that , rife as physical

      revolutions had been within tbe few last years , moral revolutions wonld in the succeeding years become more nib . Though the crowned despots of Europe might seem secure on their thrones , yet such was the progress of mind that , in a short time , their power would be crumbling into dust- Robespierre , who bad been so misrepresented , was not the bloodthirsty wretch he had been depicted , but an advocate for humanity , the spread of knowledge aad true Democracy ; and , like Paine , he was beginning to have those honours paid to him of which he is so worthy . Mr . Eluott also responded to this sentiment .

      Mr . _Gahdisir spoke ' to the sentiment of " The Memory of the Democratic Martyrs of all Nations , and of all Time . " The speaker , iu an eloquent manner , alluded to the martyr Frost , and his colleagues , Mitohel , and bis brother patriots , Cuffey , Lace ? , Sharp , and others , and by his impressive manner , drew tears from bis audience . Mr . O . Wum _ -r also responded to this sentiment , and dwelt on the martyrs which Europe had bequeathed to their memories . Though confined to a country district the men of O'Connorville would yield to none in their aspirations for the spread of Democracy throughout the world . Mr . _GsBours responded to the toast of " More Pigs and Less Parsons , " and Mr . T . M . Wheeler to thai of " The Freedom ofthe Press . "

      A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman , sad the guests adjourned to the Ball-room in Turnniu ' _-street , where happiness and joy reigned daring the remaining hours of the night . On the same evening a Tea Party , in celebration f the above event , was held at the Westminster Young Men ' s Society Rooms , Little Dean-street , Soho .

Marylebone-laBe , Oxford-street . A police constable perceived smoke issuing from the bar windows , and immediately called np the family _ nd domestics . By the rime he had done so tbe fire had reached tha stairs , and immense volumes of ff-neke and flame kept pouring up so that it was _vtier _' y impossible for any one to descend by the _tt-a . _nase . Several of tho inmates having gained _<*•¦*• ofthe front windows , they begged some one to go and procure the Royal Society ' s fire escape from tho end of tbe lane . Whilst the intelligence was being conveyed to the conductor , a man living in

      the neighbourhood brought a ladder to the spot , and he _as-iisted three or four persons down . The fin escapes belonging to the society by this time bad arrived , when the conductors were informed that Mr . Sadler ' s two female servants were in the second floor front . They immediately placed the machines to the window , but on ascending they found the rooms iu one body of fhme , so that any one therein must hare been beyond the reach of help . The two fern-it * had , however , effected their escape over the roof , and descended in safety through tbe trap _dOOT Ofthe adjoining hOUBe . Owing to tha scarcity of water , the flames were not extinguished until the whole ofthe upper part of tha extensive premises

      were burned out . The bar is also partially burned , _ nt fortunately the liquor vats escaped . Mr . Sadler was insured for contents in the Alliance Fire _, office , and the building was insured in tho Imperial See . _LtearnoDaEB is _Fbahcb . —According to an official report , there are on the sea-coast of France , * t _present , fifty-seven lighthouses of the first class .

      Tue Sailors Strike In The North. (Conclu...

      TUE SAILORS STRIKE IN THE NORTH . ( Concluded from our seventh page . ) During the week tbe _agitation has extended to nnll , and a pretty general strike has taken place there . The grievances stated are a recent reduction of wages and t _»' 'C _operation of the shipping _oflu-es , the latter especially being looked upon with hatred . As f " as Hull is concerned , the Mercantile Marine A _«* t may be regarded as the principal grievance complained of by the men , for the wage 3 th-re are notoriously higher than at other ports . The _provision in the act for the forfeiture by the sailors of one day ' s pay for swearing ; one day ' s pay -for not being shaved and washed on Sundays ; one day ' s pay if found washing their clothes on the Sunday ;

      and one day spay by the cook if he has not the dinner ready for the crew at the appointed time , are looked upon as _vex-itious regulations , to which the men are determined not to submit . On Tuesday evening a meetin _. of the seamen , convened by placard _, was held in the Apollo Rooms , Paragon-street , for the purpose of taking into consideration the present low rate of wages given to seamen , and also to petition tbe Board of Trade with respect to tbe shipping offices . . There were upwards of 200 seamen present , and the admission was strictly confined to those who could produce their regist' _-r tickets . The chair was taken at seveu o ' clock by

      a seaman , who addressed his " mates on the objects of the meeting , and read to them an account of the strikes in Sunderlan d and Shields , in which places the seamen obtained the _wageB for which they struck . ( Cheers . ) His advice was , therefore , that they should follow the example of the seamen of Sunderland and Shields , and agree together to a certain sum , binding themselves not to accept less . ( Hear , hear . ) He then suggested that they should fix , as their lowest pay , the sum of £ 3 per month and small stores , or £ 3 5 s . without , for foreign voyages . After addresses from other seamen tbe meeting was adjourned .

      The Prisoners Of Ktjtayah. The Following...

      THE PRISONERS OF KTJTAYAH . The following is an extract from a letter dated Kutayah , the 2 nd ult .: — ' Onr imprisonment becomes dail y more oppressive . I am shut up with my family in the barracks , surrounded by sentinels . Under pretence of guarding us agu _' nst fire , they post several soldiers in the garret , from whence tbey spy every one of our movements , even in onr room . Do what you can for our liberation , or at least tbat my wife may be liberated , for they detain even her . Bern died at Aleppo . This is sad ; hut it seems they wish to bury us all . Till now I had endured everything with the greatest patience , ia order not to annoy tbe Turkish government ; but now I fear that tbeir intention is a bad one ; they oppress us every day more and more . To-day they nude an attempt to deprive us of the use of our kitchen , and offered to provide _ua with our daily meals . I opposed this measure energetically , but I do not know with what success . "

      Extbaohdisam Case Of Mistakes Ioesint.— ...

      EXTBAOHDISAM CASE OF MISTAKES _IOESinT . — It will be recollected that Mr . John Goldsmid was tried at the past Middlesex Sessions , before Mr . Sergeant Adams , for an assault alleged to have been committed by him on George Tideman _, an Excise officer , and , after a trial which occupied a considerable time , found guitty and sentenced to an imprisonment of three months . Immediately after the trial Messrs . Lewis , of Ely-place , who defended Mr . Goldsmid , having from the instructions they had received , felt confident of the innocence of Mr . Goldsmid , proceeded to obtain evidence in addition to that given at the trial , with the view of laying the whole body of testimony before Sir George Grey . Assisted by tbe

      efforts of Mr . Goldsmid ' s family and nn _« nbpr 9 of his Mends , bis solicitors produced fifteen declarations upon the subject , and forwarded f , i _fB to the judge who tried the unlucky defendant . t « wle this was in the possession of Mr , Sergeant Adams , the innocence of Mr . Goldsmid was placed beyond all doubt by the appearance of Mr . Hoggins , tbe person who had , as was stated , committed the assault , and who came forward to take upon hirasolf the responsibility , and to relieve the individual erroneously charged from the imputation against him . Mr . Sergeant Adams , immediately upon hearing the statement of Mr . Hoggins , and Messrs . Lewis having reduced that statement to a declaration on oath , addressed the Secretary of State for the Home Department , and the result was that , within half-an-hour after the presentation of the document on Thursday Mr . Goldsmid was liberated from custody with a free pardon , the pardon being , of

      course a mere form , but necessarily arising from the fact that the verdict of the jury was " guilty . " Another Fire in Bermondsey . —On Thursday night , shortly before twelve o ' clock , a fire , whioh did considerable mischief , broke out in the extensive buildings belonging to Mr . Hacker , tanner , Spa-road , Bermondsey . The fire commenned from some cause not clearly ascertained , in what is termed the drying room . This building was upwards of 100 feet long , by thirty or forty feet wide , and at the time of the misfortune contained some hundred pounds worth of property . The moment the existence of the flames became known , numerous engines started for the scene , and there being an abundant supply of water , the flames were soon extinguished , but not until the building in which tbe fire originated , together with its valuable contents , had been destroyed . _Appbkubssios of an ailegeo Murderer in Liver

      fool . — -In the month of November , 1843 , Mr . Jamea Scully , a magistrate of the county of Tipperary , was barbarously murdered near to his own residence , at Killfeacle . The murderer eluded tbe vi gilance of the police , notwithstanding that a reward of £ 200 had been offered for his apprehension . Ou Tuesday night he was given into the custody of tbe police , through the instrumentality of his wife , whom he had deserted . The alleged murderer ' s name is Andrew Coffee , aud he has been residing in one of the streets off Christian-street ever since the murder . He was taken before Mr . Rushton oh Wednesday , and ordered to be sent to Ireland .

      Shocking Accident . —On Friday a boy named William Thomas Hathorn , aged eight years , expired in the accident ward of St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital from the effects of injuries received by a furious bullock which was being driven from Smithfield Market . The parents of the unfortunate boy reside at So . 7 , New-street , St Andrew ' _s-hill , Doctor ' s Commons , and on Wednesday afternoon last , whilst proceeding towards home , a bullock , in an infuriated state , which had made its way from Ludgatestreet , ran at him with great speed , and before the little boy oould get out oi the way , the animal gore-I him with one of its horns , which penetrated the right cheek immediately beneath the eye . The drover and several persons who witnessed the accident ran to the wounded boy , who was bleeding copiously from the laceration , and released him from the fury of the bullock , whioh made for

      Thames-street , and trom thence over Blackfriarsbridge . The poor boy was taken homo in a state of insensibility , where he was seen by Mr . Aucker , surgeon , who , after dressing the wound , advised hia removal io SL Bartholomew ' s Hospital , where he was placed under the care of Mr . John Newell , the assistant-surgeon , but notwithstanding every aid that medical skill conld suggest , he died yesterday ( Friday ) morning in great agony . What is this Mbasikg op _Staik Education?—Education is derived from Educere , to bring forth , to draw out ; but the only thing which State education brings forth is the total incapacity of the State to educate the people : and the utmost it draws out is a miserable sum of something like £ 30 , 000 a year , for no other purpose , apparently , than that of proving the above incapacity . — By One of the _Non-Edueated . —Puneh .

      The _RRFua-Ks . —At a committee meeting , thanks were given to the friends at South London Hall , to the ladies who carried the boxes at the funeral , and also to Mr . Thomas Cooper . The money list will appear next week . Assistance is earnestly requested for the exiled patriots ., —T , Bmwh .

      Bow-Street.-As Irish Row .—J. M'Carthy A...

      BOW-STREET .-As Irish Row . —J . M'Carthy aged 19 , and Mary Ann Donovan , a widow ( both of them Irish ) , were charged with _assaulting Ellen Homer , ill the parties lived in St . Giles * s , ° and on Saturday last the prosecutrix accompanied a female to Donovan ' s lodgings in New-street , for the purpose of making some complaint to Donovan respecting the ill-usage of the woman ' s sister , who was in the service of Donovan . The complainant waited outside the room-door while her friend went inside . M'Carthy was also there , and a quarrel ensued , and Donovan struck the woman with a cup . He rushed out to Homer , followed by the prisoner . They struck Homer , knocked her down on the stairs , and kicked her most violently . The prisoner

      M'Carthy extinguished the light , and called out for his knife . He then struck Homer upon the head with some instrument , which cut her head most severely . The prisoners then again kicked her until her screams brought the assistance of several police constables , who found Homer upon the _ground senseless , and bleeding profusel y from the wounds in her head . They removed her to the hospital , aud the prisoners were apprehended , —The prisoners denied kicking Homer ; and M'Carthy said the woman called him by an opprobrious epithet , and he then struck her . He did not cut her head . She fell down stairs in consequence of being drunk . —The constables said the prosecutrix and her witness were perfectly sober . —Mr . Hall fined the male prisoner the full penalty of £ 5 , ov two months' imprisonment : and the female he ordered to pay 40 s ., or fourteen days' imprisonment . —Both

      prisoners were locked up in default . An _Olo Trick Revived . —P . Falday , aged 13 , and J . Crawley , aged 15 , were charged with begging . —A constable said the prisoners were eonfirmed beggars . They were in the habit of carrying lucifers , which they would at times thrown down and commence crying at their stock in trade being destroyed . Very often persons took compassion on them and j jave them money . On Monday ni ght they were following their old game , and the constable took them into custody . —Inspector Ootid said the prisoners were allowed by the shopkeepers in Clare-market to stand opposite tbeir doors and sell lucifer matches . They seldom did 80 , but wandered into crowded thoroughfares , and followed the more profitable business of begging . —Mr . Jardine sentenced the prisoners to be imprisoned for fourteen days . each .

      Threatbmxo the Lord Chief Justice or the Commo . v Pleas . —T . Bates , for seven years " under butlerat the hall in the Middle Temple , was charged with threatening the life of Sir John Jervis . The prisoner was of slender build , of decidedly nervous temperament , in appearance extremely harassed , and wore a shabby suit of blacK . —His lordship deposed , that in 1847 he was treasurer of the Middle Temple Hall . The prisoner at tbat time was hall or under butler . In April of that year , witness , with tbe concurrence of the benchers , dismissed the prisoner for _alleged drunkenness . Since that time _prisoner bad sent numerous communications to bim and he had unfortunately destroyed them all with tho exception of two letters . His lordship then handed Mr . Burnaby _, the chief clerk , a letter , in

      which tbe prisoner had threatened the life of Sir John . His lordship added , that the prisoner had written similar letters to his wife , Lord John Russell , and several other members of parliament . — Mr . Burnaby read the letter , which charged Sir John Jervis with depriving him ( the prisoner ) of his place , and threatened him with serious injury . He ( the prisoner ) would let the world know what sort of wretches tbe people had to expect in their judges , and he was prepared to act , if the Lord Chief Justice did not afford him redress in the matter of his alleged wrong . He would punish him by a law of his own , if he suffered strangulation for it at the Old Bailey ; and his sons would in his stead punish ' is enemy , whom he described as a

      " wretch , " " viper , " '' snake in the grass , " & c—This letter , the Lord Chief Justice believed to be in the handwriting of the prisoner , which he had had many opportunities of seeing when he was _un- _' er-butler to the Benchers of the Middle Temple . —After the reading of the letter , Mr . Henry asked his lordship if he went in bodily fear of receiving some injury from the prisoner—His lordship replied in the affirmative . —The Lord Chief Justice said that he would give the accused every explanation in bis power , as he was anxious to show he laboured under a great mistake with regard to him . —The prisoner , at much length , questioned the Lord Qhlef Justice as to his ri g ht to dismiss him from office , and as to such dismissal never

      _having been officially or formally communicated to him ; as to the act of the under treasurer in dismissing him \> y a message through a subordinate being sufficient ; and said that he ( the prisoner ) had been in the Temple before Sir John Jervis , whom he charged with having removed him from his place to make room for a protege of his own . —His lordship said tbat he had the power to discharge any servant . The prisoner was frequently intoxicated when he was on duty in the hall . It was his duty to say grace , and his lordship bad noticed that he was drunk when he waa repeating the words . The benchers had also noticed it , and witness therefore discharged him . —Prisoner : I was ill , and had only been out of bed an hour , when I made the _mist'ike

      which led to my discharge . At the grace I _subst tute d beauteous instead of " bounteous . " At tbe thanksgiving my memory failed me , and I stopped abort before its completion . —The Lord Chief Justice : You were frequently too drunk to siy grace , — The prisoner denied thathewasadrunkard . He then produced a letter , which he said he bad received from a gentleman of such high rank that he did not like to make it public , but would show it to the bench nnd Sir John Jervis , as proving the injury the latter had done him hy preventing him from getting a place . —The Lord Chief Justice said , that looking at the signature , he had no acquaintance with the writer , whom he only know to be connected with dignitaries ofthe church , and that he never had any

      conversation with him . He did not think tbat the letter showed anything of the injury which the prisoner attributed to him as having caused —Mr . Henry said the letter was not material . —The Prisoner : Cannot you remand the case ? Mr . Henry : I think all this matter is immaterial . Whatever complaints you have to make , you had no right to send snch threatening letters . —The Prisoner : I might have taken a different course , it is true , but I wished Sir John to do me justice as a man . The prisoner here said , that he was suffering so much from illness , that he was not in a condition to put his questions as he could wish . After a pause he added—It may not be out of place for me to admit that the letter was written by me . Tbe prisoner

      then entered into a long statement , but was obviously not in the most complete state of selfpossession . His remarks were merely a recapitulation of what he had formerly urged . —Mr . Henry ordered tbe prisoner to find two good sureties in £ 50 each , and himself in £ 100 , to keep the peace . He should require twenty-four hoars' notice of the bail . —The prisoner was then locked up . MARYLEBONE , —Brutal _Ootraob . —John Corbould , a labourer , was charged with the following most brutal assaults : —On Saturday night last , between ten and eleven o ' clock , tbe prisoner went into the house of Mr . Hanstock , the Threo Tuns , Portman-mews _, and took his seat in tbe parlour . He bad been desired upon many occasions not to enter the house again , in consequence of the noise and disturbance which he constantly caused , and on

      the landlord laying hold of him to put him out , the prisoner threw him instantly upon his back _aoross the table , at the same time laying hold of one of bis fingers , and putting it between his teeth , Witness cried out loudly from the pain which he endured . A policeman speedily came into tbe premises , when he found the prisoner and the landlord lying across the table as had been described . He laid hold of prisoner and pulled htm off , when he ( prisoner ) , upon exclaiming , "Now I'll do for you , " threw him with _suoh violence to the floor that his shoulder was dislocated . He was conveyed to Middlesex Hospital , and in all probability many weeks would elapse before he was able to resume his duty . In neither of the oases was there any surgeon ' s certificate produoed , and the prisoner was remanded for a week .

      A Gdnpowdhb Plot . —John Wm . Hamilton , 26 , was charged with causing wilful damage to the amount of £ 300 , to the house of Mr . Daniel Millbank , 10 , Cumberland-place , New-road , hy the explosion of gunpowder . Owing to a suspicion that the prisoner had intended to accomplish the death of his mother by the act , the court was crowded to excess . Lord Montfort , aud several other gentlemen , were on tbe bench . —Daniel Milbauk , on being sworn , said : The prisoner is tbe son of a lodger of mine , a widow , who rents my two parlours . I hare frequently complained of his coming to tho house , as I did not approve of his behaviour , and I did not think his mother felt safe . On Monday night , about eight o ' clock , as I was employed upon some mosaic _^ work in the front kitchen , I heard a loud explosion , and at the same time a portion of the ceiling fell upon my head ; the lathim _*

      also fell in , and if I had not _got away very quickly , I might have been seriously injured , if not killed . I heard a moaning aud groaning . I found that the front and back parlour doors were blown off the binges . The sashes of the back parlour window were blown out , as aho a portion ofthe brick-work . The drawing-room floor was destroyed , and the sash in the back kitchen was shattered to pieces . The shutters in the front parlour were hy the explosion sent fourteen or fifteen yards across the New-road , and even up to the attics damage was done . I calculate that my loss cannot be short of £ 300 by the explosion . 1 was completely stunned , and the tool with which I was working was shook out of my band . Mrs . Hamilton , tbe prisoner ' s mother , was iu bed in the front parlour , and I saw the pillow-case and coverlid burning , not not in flames . The place was full of smoke , and I clasped mv arms round Mrs . Hamilton ' s waist to get her

      the lady , and that he should point them out to a constable as soon as he saw one . They threatened to give him a beating if he did , and at that moment a _constable came up and secured them . There was such a crowd of persons coming from the railway that he was unable to reach the lady , and he had not seen her since . —A police constable of the M division said he took the prisoners into custody , when he found the purse and contents on Shea .

Solomons , on the part of the accused , applied for his being admitted to bail , but the magistrate refused the application . Ths Charge or Bill Swindling against '' Captain" Routledge , —Monday was the day appointed for the further examination of Fred . Wm .

      Routledge , but in his stead a medical certificate was produced from the surgeon of Horsemonger lane Gaol , stating tbat Routledge was lying dangerously ill in the prison hospital . —Mr . Robinson informed tbe magistrate that since the last examination of the prisoner , Sergeant Quinnear and Constable Melville had traced the whole of the notes sent by Mr . Johnson , of St . Helen ' s Lancashire , to the prisoner , on the 7 th of December last , to take up a bill for £ 213 16 s ,, and due on that day , to Routledge ' _s possesion , and this testiranney , together with the production of the bill itself , would complete the evidence in the case of Mr . Johnson . He ( Mr . Robinson ) would be also prepared on a future day to show that the acceptance to two bills of exchange ,

      and which had been sent by Routledge to a tradesman at Macclesfield , were forgeries , and this , in his ( Mr . Robinson ' s ) opinion , would be a clear case of forgery . —A small ledger found in a secret drawer at the prisoner ' s residence , and in which the prisoner kept a minute account of bis daily , monthly , and annual transactions' was produced to the magistrates . Among the prisoner ' s accounts were found those ofa _fashionable West-end tailor , from which it appeared that in 1836 he paid £ 30 tor a suit of uniform worn by him on the occasion of his being presented at court to the late King William tbe Fourth , and where he was presented as Captain Routledge , of the Somersetshire Militia . In the ledger containingthe accounts there was found an

      engraving , which appeared to have been cut from some newspaper , of the prisoner , in full uniform , and as he appeared at court . —Mr , Norton inquired if the solicitors of the Bankers' Association were coming forward to lend their aid in the prosecution , which would be one of some dim culty , and requiring the aid of a practised lawyer . — Mr . Robinson replied that Messrs . Bush and Mullins were merely solicitors to the London Bankers ' Association , and as no attempt had been made to defraud the London bankers , and as it could not effect the bankers in the metropolis in anyway to have bills of exchange made payable at their houses even by swindlers , those gentlemen would not give any directions to tho solicitors to the association to

      interfere in any way in the rhatter . Mr . Robinson added that , in reply to some communications which bad been made to persons , who , from letters found amongst tho prisoner ' s papers , had had transactions with Routledge , he received answers from attornies threatening actions , and all sorts of pains and penalties , if he dare disclose the names of their client as connected in any way with the prisoner or his transactions . —Mr . Norton remarked that he did not think that he ( Mr . Robinson ) , had much to fear from such threats , and prolonged the further examination of the prisoner to a future day . — In the course of the day Mr . Games , as the prisoner ' s solicitor , applied to Mr . Norton for an order to the officer Melville , to give bim a few

      pounds more out of the seventy-six sovereigns found in the prisoner ' s drawers , and whieh appeared to be all the ready money he possessed at the time of his apprehension , Mr . Games said that out of the £ 5 his lordship was so kind to order him at the first examination he had given upwards of £ 3 to his client , arid as the prisoner was at present in a dangerous state of illness , and required necessaries beyond the jail allowance , he hoped his worship would order him ( Mr . Games ) , a few pounds more . —Mr . Norton , under the peculiar circumstances , ordered the officer to hand three sovereigns more to tbe prisoner ' s solicitor , whicb Melville at once complied witb , and banded Mr . Games the three sovereigns . ' On Wednesday morning , shortly after eight o ' clock , Frederick William Routledge , alias Captain Routledge , expired in tbo county gaol , _Horsemonger-lane , after a severe and painful

      illness . The deceased had been in the infirmary for some time past . On Tuesday evening feeling worse Routledge sent for Mr . Games , hia solicitor , to make his will , but that gentleman being from home at the time , his clerk waited on the deceased , and received his instructions relative to his will , and it was arranged that Mr . Games should wait on the deceased at nine on the following morning to execute the deed . At eight o ' clock , however , he received a message to the effect tbat his client waa dying , and though he hastened to the gaol he found on reaching it is client had just broathed his last , and having cheated some thousands iu hia life time , had now cheated the law , as he stood fully committed to take his trial on a charge of defrauding Mr . Johnson Of £ 213 16 s . Prom the instructions given for his will it appeared to be the wish of the deceased tbat his property should be possed by his son Arnold Routledge , who he believes to be at the Cape of Good Hope .

      WESTMINSTER .-AN Unfortdnat * Gentleman . -In the case of Captain Nestor , of the 19 th Foot _, whom a medical military board has judged to be of unsound mind , and was brought to this court on a charge of stealing a watch , the magistrate _received a letter from the _War-offiee , offering to send a non-commissioned officer to take charge of him , Vn _^ _lK y h m t 0 l he mi _^ ry _lunatic Asylum at Yarmouth . -Mr . Broderip said he would comnly with this request , considering that as Captain Nestor was not a responsible agent justice would be satisfied tbereby _' -The captain waB then given into the custody of a sergeant of the Coldstream uuards , who was in attendance , to convey him to xarmouth ; but in a lew minutes Miss Nestor , his daughter , and the sergeant / who had left the _ciiptain ib charge of another non-commissioned officer , entered the court , and _iaforiaed the _magistral

      that as the unfortunate gentleman was about to stop into _' a cab , which had been sent for to convev him to the Eastern Counties Railway , a sheriffs officer and his assistant pounced upon him , and ar . rested him for a debt of £ 84 . On the one hand tha sheriff ' s officer had threatened to bring an action against the sergeant if ho took the captain out o £ his hands ; and on the other , if he ( the sergeant ) parted with the custody of his prisoner , he waa liable to be tried by court martial for disobedience * of orders . The sergeant therefore asked tho magistrate how he was to act in this matter . —Mr Broderip observed that he bad no longer anv _™ wo «

      in the matter , and could give no directions . Tha sergeant was certainly placed in a most awkward position , but he could not assist him . —The parties then retired , when , after some delay , inthe coursa of which neither party exhibited the least incl ' na , tion to part with possession of the captain , it waa mutually agreed , without prejudice to their _iivaj claims , tbat both parties shouid accompany the pri . SOiior to the War-office , and take the opinion of tha authorities there , whither they repaired . I „ tha course of the afternoon it was communicated to tha magistrate , that the military had given Capt . N estor over to the civil power , who had safely lodged him in Whitecro _? s-street prison .

      GUILDHALL . — Serving a Writ . —Mr . Day ' of 113 , London-wall , _appeared in answer to a suni ! mons charging him with an assault upon Joseph James Powell , clerk to Messrs . Wilson and Rand attorneys . —Complainant stated that he _ba-l called at defendant ' s house very frequently , and in reply to all his inquiries , he received the answer of " nofc at home . " On the 23 rd ofthe present month comp l ainant received instructions from his employers ] to serve a writ on defendant , and he accordingly proceeded to his house in London-wall for tha . 6 purpose . The boy said the defendant was not afc home . Complainant desired him to go up staira and see . The lad went up , followed by complainant to the drawing room door , which he opened , and complainant , without waiting for an invi tation ,

      walked in , and on seeing defendant handed bim tha copy of the writ . ' Defendant read it carefull y through , laid it down , and then rose from the table and collared complainant , and shook him very y _* lently five or six times . He then threw complainant down , and held him there for about five or tea minutes , frequently in the interim shaking his fist ia complainant's face and threatening to strike him . He then seized hold of his head , which he _knocked several times on the floor , in . a brutal manner . — Cross-examined by defendant : Complainant said defendant did not strike bim . Complainant did nof ; open any door to get at him . He was not told to leave the room . He did not tell defendant that ha had better put him out . Defeudant said he would teach complainant to come into his rooms , but not that it was like his impudence to do so . _—Defeiniant denied tho charge altogether , and further alleged

      that complainant was druuk at the time , and refused to quit the premises , daring the defendant to strike him , or he would make him pay for it . —Complainant ' s employers were in court , and able to contradict thatpartof tbedefencestating he was drunk _. The Alderman said it was quite clear that an assault had been committed , by defendant , of a A-ery _ajrgravated nature , as complainant was only executing a duty imposed on him by his masters ' . Taking into consideration the chagrin del ' endani ; must have experienced on being served with a writ , he would fine him in tbe mitigated penalty of £ 31 and costs , or , in default , to be committed to _prisoa for one month . —The money was then paid into court , the defendant _expressing at the same tima his intention of appealing . He was , however , informed there was no appeal from the decision oi the magistrate of this court .
