      was taken before Mr . Elliott , at Lambeth-street , and the above evidence adduced . He had given the gold pin , accepted from the poor deluded servant , to a girl whom he was courting . The slippertops , he said , had been passed through the letter-box . It was quite clear that he was intimate with Mary Ann Boreham . The case was remanded . In the court was the father of the girl , who had come up from Essex , somewhat hurt at the hurried way in which the inquest had been performed . No medical man had been called in . The dejected father hoped that the body would be exhumed , and a proper surgical examination take place before the next . investiga'ion . Mr . Elliott observed that he had not the power , as Williams was not charged with being concerned in the death , to order this ; but he had no doubt the authorities of Lambeth parish would , on the application of the father , permit the body to be exhumed and examined . Williams was admitted to bail in two sureties in £ 100 each .

      SPIRITED CHASE AND CAPTURE OF BURGLARS . A clever burglary , followed by a spirited chase and gallant capture of the burglars , is reported this week . The scene of the offence was in Radnorshire , about seven miles from Kington . Mrs . Evans , the widow of a clergyman , was the sufferer ; ana the names of the burglars are Henry Buss , a returned transport , John Wallis , of Carey ' s court , Birmingham , John Davies , of the same town , his brother David Davies , a tailor , and a butcher named Charles Edwards , also a resident of Kington , who is supposed to have been entrapped into the affair David Davies , the tailor , had taken up his abode in Kington during the last two or three weeks , and managed to introduce himself to one of the domestics of the

      mansion , and so obtained admission to the servants ' apartment . The evening ' s wooing concluded , he joined a party of four strangers at Kington , who regaled themselves in a very bountiful style , and had with them a spirited little pony and a light spring cart . On Monday morning , the 2 oth ultimo , Mrs . Evans found that the place had been entered by burglars . By means of a centrebit a panel in the shutter of the butler ' s pantry was removed , and , the window fastenings being undone , the burglars obtained admission . Every drawer and cupboard in the pantry was ransacked . Silver coffeepots , salvers , jugs , forks , spoons , toast-racks , and avast quantity of other plate- in all of the value of more than £ 200—were carried off . The robbers also entered the

      drawing-rooms , and , possessing themselves of some elegant trifles , coolly left the mansion by the front door , and made away . Application was at once made to the magistrates , and orders were given by them to the police . Sergeant Dixon set off directly for Kington , and found that the tailor and the party of strangers with the pony and cart had suddenly fled . Traces of them were obtained at Leominster and Tenbury , but they were some six or eight hours in advance . However , the officer rode on , and on reachins Bewdley learnt that they had not been gone any long time . 1 ' resh horses were put in the fly ; Jeffries , the constable of the town , joining in the chase . At Kidderminster they learned that the thieves were on the road to Birmingham . A fresh pair of horses

      was procured . Inspector Peters , of the Kidderminster police , accompanying Dixnn and Jeiferies , they travelled at a furious rate , and on arriving within a few miles of Birmingham on the Hales Owen road espied the wellknown light cart standing at the door of the Cock and Magpie public-house . The pony was having his mouth washed with a quart of ale , having trotted more than GO miles at a sharp iuu e . In order that suspicion should not be excited , the oilicers passed the : house , but stopped at the ( irst turning and then walked back . Dixon walked into the kitchen , where the five plunderers were , and told them that they must , consider themselvf s prisoners . One ot them instantly dashed the window into The road , and made a vigorous c 11 " > rt to escape- but . Dixon

      secured him . They ina < l <; a teniiie . attack on the oilicers . One Tufiian seized a poker , another a heavy pair of ton ^ B , and a third wielded a heavy lite-preservt r , with which he dealt JeilVries a severe blow on the head and stunned him . Dixon sustained a serious blow on the lower part ot the face , and a man named Knowles , who was put . to watch the cart , was bitten by a large bull dog which lay concealed in the vehicle . At length the- prisoners weredisarmed , and being se-cured anil tied with ropes they were ; conveyed to the police-station . The cart wae then examine'd . It container ! several bigs , and in them was

      found the whole of the plate $ ; tolcn fioin Mrs . ]«' , vans ' mansion . In one of the bags wa « also an assoi 1 ment of housebreakiiig implements , with all hoi t . s of cent rebitB , picklocks , dark b . nterns , &- <; .

It . is Kt . at . cil that , the prisoners Wallis and Jiuss have admitted bring concerned in the burglary . In compliance with . 1 wish of the police , the be'iie ; h of mngi .-. trales decided on remanding the pi isom is for a week , in order tlwit the chain of evidence- iniglw . be completed , but KdwiiiiIh was admitted to liiil

      Parliament was further prorogued on Thursday , until the 4 th of November . From all we can learn as to the state- of the crops , and the influence of the weather thereon , quite an average harvest may be anticipated ; and also one not below the average in quality . The weather was highly favourable early in August , and the late rains have not materially damaged the crops . The accounts of the potato crop in Ireland are conflicting and unsatisfactory . In some degree the blight has seized on the roots ; but it is doubtful as to what extent .

      The Liverpool Albion says , that Mr . Murdoch , the Chief Commissioner of Emigration , and Mr . Stephen Walcott , Secretary to the Board , are about to proceed on an official tour , in the course of which they will visi the several outports , with a view of ascertaining how far it may be practicable to carry out the recommendations of Mr . Sidney Herbert ' s Committee and remedy prevailing abuses in the American emigration trade . For this purpose their attention will be specially directed to Liverpool , where it is expected regulations of a salutary character will be established , with a view to the protection of the emigrants from fraud before embarkation , and their domestic comfort in " Homes , " or Model Lodginghousi !• .

      The " Irish Democratic Alliance" held a soiree on Monday , in the Rotunda , to celebrate the ctcape of M'Maims . Father Kcnyon sent , a note excusing his attend nice . If . contains one remarkable passage : — " Holding firm by my faith by John Mitchell ' s principles , but utterly despair ing to uitucss their prevalence , I have lor three years abstain ) el freun politics , except on a few occasions , when they secme-el as if te > force themselves upon me . 1 thought that absolute rest wemld become tbecountry belter , anel be more- l'kely alse ) te ) . serve it in the ; en < l , than i . ny agitation that , could be reasonably

      Hackett , the notorious burglar who so adroitl y and daringly escaped from the Model Prison and finally landed in America , has been pursuing his old trade there and is now lodged in the New York gaol for burglary ' He lately attempted to escape , but was discovered and secured . A man was sentenced on Tuesday by Mr . Sergeant Adams , to transportation for ten years . He had been concerned in a robbery in Newcastle-court , and was a well known thief . On the sentence being passed he exclaimed with great coolness : — ' Can't you give me something more ? My brother has been transported , can ' tyou punish me for that also ? I want to know . Hadn ' t you better try me for that also ? " Mr . Serjeant Adams : You are sentenced for ten years . Take him away . "

      Fire destroyed the large and well known carriage manufactory in Long Acre , on Sunday morning . The premises were nearly one hundred feet high , about eighty feet in depth , and fifty feet wide . They were parcelled out into sundry compartments ; the ground floor was used " as the show rooms , while a gallery stretched over the same formed the bazaar . Immediately over the last named were the body makers ' , finishing , turning , and harness rooms . One part on the first floor , opposite Bow-street , was occupied as the private residence . From this vast building the flames leapt forth on all points , and its great height , as well as the great body of fire ' , prevented the numerous engines from making much impression on the flames , which blazed forth from the

      windows , and threw showers of sparks and flakes of burning wood around . At length the fire-escapes were ingeniously used ; the hose being conveyed up them , boffc in the front and rear of the building . In spite of this it was nearly noon before the conflagration was extinguished . Long Acre was meanwhile lined on both sides with vehicles of all descriptions . The damage done was very considerable , but it is believed that the building and its contents were insured . The official report from Mr . Braidwood says , that " the third and fourth floors were burned out and roof off ; the second floor seriously damaged by fire and water ; the first , ground , and cellar floors severely damaged by water only ; part of stock on ground floor damaged by removal .

[ He recapitulated the whole

      of the evidence taken , and commented upon the various parts of it , particularly on the evidence of one of the surgeons , and said ] -the conclusion I have come to is , that it was none other than the policeman Cole who has inflicted these external injuries .. But that is only one part of my duty . I have a further inquiry to make , and , perhaps , the most important of all . What was the cause of death ? Did death ensue from these injuries ? And here I feel a resposibihty which I am not at all disposed to exercise . If I say that I think the deceased has met his death from other causes than from the external injuries I must discharge Cole , and the ends of justice may be thereby frustrated 1 think this is a case for further investigation , and that it will be much more satisfactory to the friends of the deceased and to the oolice force , and infinitely more satisfactory

      to my own mind , that the case should go to the Central Criminal Court , where it will be tried by a jury and have thr able assistance of the learned judges and the counsel ; and whatever the verdict may be , I am quite sure it will be a proper one and satisfactory to all parties . I must now commit the prisoner on the charge of manslaughter . Mr . Lewis : I trust , sir , the same bail will be taken . Mr . Alderman Wilson : No . I think , under the circumstances , having determined to commit , I must increase the bail . I must now have two sureties in £ 100 each . . Mr . Goodman , the chief clerk , having read the voluminous depositions , Mr . Alderman Wilson , after the usual caution , asked the prisoner if he had any thing to say in answer to the

      charge ? Cole : Nothing more than that I am an innocent man . Mr . Lewis : Will you permit me to say , sir , on behalf of the defendant and the police generally , that they are perfectly satisfied with the result of the investigation and your desire to send it to another tribunal , where further inquiry will be made into the circumstances connected with it ? They feel that the result will then be more satisfactory to the public as well as to themselves . The required bail was at once tendered and accepted .
