Mosdat.— This Court Resumed Its Sittings...
Mosdat . — This court resumed its sittings to" day , pursuant to the adjournment from the last session . The court was opened by tbe Right Honourable the Lord _Mayor , the Recorder , Alderman Sir C . Marshall and Farebrother , the Sherif & , Deputy Sheriffs , and tbe other city authorities . _CsoEt-rr at Sea . —Joseph Heaviside surrendered to answer an indictment _charging him with a misdemeanor . "From tbe statement nt lhe learned counsel for the prosecution and the evidence tbat was adduced , it appeared tbat tbe defendant was the mate of a vessel called tbe "Snnez , and fhe offence with which he was charged was having committed a . series of assaults npon a lad named John Husgard , who was aa apprentice on board tbe
• vessel . According to the statement of the prosecutor , a rather weakly but intelligent boy , he sailed from Shields on a voyage to Alexandria , with coals , and when they were near Gibraltar the defendant beat him severely with a rope's end , and when they were in the harbour of _Alexandria , and the coals were bring discharged , he was set to trim the lighter , that is shovel the coals level as they were discharged from the vessel , and because he was not strong enough to do it , he said the mate pelted bim with huge pieces of coal _, which made wounds in both his legs _, and that the captain put Milestone into the wounds ; and he also said tbat after this , and while his legs were still _xerv bad the mate u sed to jeer him , and tell him to go aft and " get his Wuestone . " He likewise said that because he could not learn the compass , the defendant used
sometimes to give him a couple of dozen blows onthe hand -with a shoe , which made his hands very sore , and caused lumps to como on his wrists . The jury returned a verdict of Sot Guilty . Mr . Payne applied to have the defendant held to bail to answer any other indictment that might be preferred against him . He had committed a great many other assaults npon tbe boy besides those which formed the subject of the present indictment . Mr . Clarkson objected to tbis , as the vessel was about to sail . lie said tbe captain ofthe _Sunezwas ready to cancel the boy ' s identnres , and this would effectually prevent the parties from coming into collision in future- The mother of the complainant having consented to this course , the indentures were camelled , and the defendant was then discharged .
As Old Offexder . —Eliza . Cross , aw old woman on the verge of three score , was convicted of stealing half a flitch of bacon , the property of Messrs . Hughes and Co . The prisoner for a long time has lived by theft or in prison , thinking tliat her age and infirmity were shields agrinst transportation . The court sentenced her to hard labour fur one year . _Tcesdat . —Steamxg Bask Xotes . —Charles Bowen , 22 , waiter , George Lake , 22 , waiter , were indicted for stealing a Bank of England note of the value of £ 50 , and -various otlier notes , altogether of the value of £ 150 , the moneys of the Kev . William Price Lewis , and John Dancock , " __ 2 , waiter , and George Bates , 26 , jeweller , were indicted for feloniously receiving the money , well knowing it had been stolen . This case occupied the court for
Several hours , during whieh period a great number of vritnesses were examined , but the character of the charge will be much better understood in the form of a narrative It seems that the prisoners lake and Bonen were engaged as waiters at the Trafalgar Hotel , Charingcross , the former having been employed for nine months , and the latter for as many weeks , at the period the robbery was committed , which was on the 2 Sih of Ko'ember of last year . At that time tbe prosecutor , who is a clergyman , residing in Wales , xvas staying at the hotel , aud on the day in question he ¦ went to the banking-house of Messrs . Glyn , Uallifax , and Co ., and received change for a check for £ 150 , obtaining In payment one note for £ 50 , andthe remainder in notes for £ 10 and £ 3 each . The prosecutor , upon his return
to the hotel , rolled up the notes , and placed them in his portmanteau , and he then went out , and on his return at night he discovered that his portmanteau had been -opened , and that the whole ofthe money had been abstracted . The nest morning the prosecutor gave information of his loss , butfor some time no clue was obtained te the perpetrators of the robbery . The numbers and -dates of the stolen notes were , of course , readily and cor-Tectly obtained from tbe banking-house , and the inquiries wbich were set on foot led to such results as eventually brought tbe charge home to the prisoners . The evidence against the parties charged as principals , nan . ely , lake and Bowen , was to the following effect : —It appeared that on the night iherobbeiy was committed , Bowen , contrary to the
regulations of the hotel , went ont about eight o ' clock , and old not return all night ; and when Talbot , the head waiter at the hotel , saw him in the morning , his appearance induced him to believe he had been out all night , and on his challenging him with it he denied the fact , and 6 aidthat he was ill . It was shortly afterwards ascertained that the prisoner Dancock had been dealing with jsoinestokn notes , aud as the prisoner Bowen was known to be on friendly terms with him , and had shortly before recommended him to be employed as an extra waiter _« t She Trafalgar Hotel , these circumstances , coupled with -otlier facts , led to the _apprehension of Bowen , and immediately upon thc step being taken , it was observed that thepri-oner L-. ike appeared to be in a very excited state , aud apparently quite insatiable of attending to business ,
and at length Talbot , tlie chief water , was induced to tell him that he believed from hiscondact that he was concerned in the robbery , upon which lake at once admitted that he was , and told a very singular story as to his share of the transaction . The story of lake was that he had been drawn into it by " Charley , " meaning tbe _-prisuww Bo-wen , anu that it was hiin who had first formed the plan to rob Mr . lewis , and that he had obtained a key for the purpose of opening his portmanteau , and tbat shortly before he held up- a iey , and said , " 1 have tried this little gentleman , and it fits Mr . Lewis's portmanteau . " ne went on to say that on the day of fhe robbery , tlie 28 thof 3 foveinber , Bowen said that when the head waiter went down to tea thry would go aud get the notes . Accordingly wheu this
took place thej both went up together to Mr . Lewis ' s room , and the prisoner Bowen gave hira the key , and told him to go in aud get the money , and he said he wonld wait outside , and if he heard any noise he was to get out of the window and walk along the balcony , and so get away . Be said that he then went into the room , opened thc box , and took out the roll of notes , and he then gave them to Bowan , who shortly afterwards joined him in -one of the parlours , and told him tbat he had got £ 70 , and that there would he £ 35 a . piece for them . He then Said that Upon hearing this he was ver ; much alarmed , aud wanted to take the money to the head waiter , and tell lum that he had found it on the mat close to Mr . lewis ' s door , but that Bowen told him he should . not do that , aud that he must uot let the head _^ waiter know every thing . Bowen then asked him to lend him soae money to pay for a cab to go to Xoudoahridge to see some one , who , he said , would give
him '" hard cash''for the notes , and he _accordingly gave him four shillings , and it was arrangid that Bowen should _ go out at eight o'clock , aud that he should then proceed to the City for the purpose of getting the eash . The next _xnorning Bowen told him that he had taken the i _. otts to •*« Bob Snow , " at the Adelaide Hotel , London-bridge , and Chat he was to go there to get his share . Accordingly he -went there ou the Sunday following to the hotel , where he saw a man who said that Snow had gone away with the money . In addition to this statement of Lake , it was proved that when Bo a en was apprehended by Inspector Otway he asked if Lake was in custody , and on his being -told that he was , he said that lake had committed the _-robtwiy , aud that he told him there was only £ 70 , and if mort- money had been taken he must have kept the rest -himself . Thejury returned a verdictof guilty against all . the prisoners . The Recorder sentenced tlie prisoner _ Bowen to be transported for fifteen years , Lake for ten _jears _, and Dancock and Bates for fourteen years .
Hocse Bbeakikg . —A youth named Frederick Bunjan _, was convicted yesterday of bouse-bivaking _, with intent to _ftenL Mr . Commissioner Bullock sentenced him to ten years transportation . _Embezzlement . —James Darks , aged twenfy-two , was indicted fur embezzling and stealing three several sums of money , of small amount , which he had received on account of Mr . T . J . Davis ( bis master . ) Sentence , seven . years transportation . Theft . —Frederick Fitzgerald , aged eighteen , was _isolcted for stealing on the 19 th nit ., a silver watch and guard , with gold seals and key ; also a purse , containing two half-crowns and other silver coin , the property of "William Smith . Guilty . Sentenced to seven years _Iransportarion .
THE ALLEGED MURDERS 05 BOARD THE TORT . "W __ DSESJ > 4 V . _—PoSTIfOSEKEJIT OV THE TRIAt OF _CiPT . _Johnston . —Upon the learned judges taking their seats _ U _] K > n the bench Mr . Bodkin said he had an application to make regarding the case of a prisoner who wus atpre-• eent in the gaol of Xewgate under three charges of _murkier . His learned friend Ur . Jcrris was retained on heb _^ lf of the prisoner , and with his concurrence he had to apply that the trial should be postponed to the next session . The Chief Baron inquired whether any legal _( ersun was prtsent on heh » lf of the accused . Mr . Bodkin _ said that lie made the application entirely with the _concurrence of his friend , Mr . Lewis , and the prisoner ' s solicitor was also present , and he was ready to content to
ihe adjournment . The ground for the postponement was , { that there had not been sufficient opportunity to prepare ihe prisoner ' s defence . The Attorney-General , who «_ -ut _ ld conduct the prosecution , had been communicated « £ th , and he was instructed that he did not oppose the _^ _etrponement . The Chief Baron asked if the court was _ to . t _ aderstand that the ground upon which tbe _postponement was asked was , that the prisoner was not prepared -with Sis defence * Mr . Bodkin said , certainly , that was _jihegreKind of tlie application . The Chief Baron baring _fseldainef consultation with Mr . Justice Erie , said the « ourt w . re of opinion that under these circumstances the . « rial oug & t to be postponed . The prisoner would remain In custody , and the recognizances of the witnesses would be respited until the next session .
Chxcge or Sexsikc Tra _ rAT £ __« ire _Lettebs . —Henry _Jfoneph Killerby , a lad of respectable appearance , surrendered to answer an indictment charging him with _feloniously sending a _lstterto one Cra « er Humble , containing menaces to bum his house and to murder him . Mr . Bodkin , in opening the case to tiie jury , said it was very painful to have to prosecute a young man like the prisoner for so serious an offence as the one imputed to him , hut thc circumstinces left no alternative to those who had to administer tlie justice of the countiy but to institute a full inquiry . The learned counsel then jiroc _*« t .-

the month of May in last year , about which time the neighbourhood of the Borough of Southwark was thrown into considerable alarm and excitement by the circumstance of a number of threatening letters being sent to different parties , and which contained menaces of the most diabolical description . The prosecutor in tbe present instance Jwas a respectable tradesman , who had received a letter on the 18 th of May , in which a threat was made to murder him and burn his house ; and after a good deal of investigation there appeared so strong a reason for believing tbat theprisoner was the writer of that letter , that the present indictment had been preferred against him . The following evidence was then
adduced : —Mr . Craster Humble deposed that he was a hop merchant , and carried on his business at No . 82 , Highstreet . Southwark , On the 18 th of May he found the letter ( produced ) ' on his desk . At that time John Killerby , a brother of the prisoner , wai in his service . He placed the letter in tbe hands of the police . —Edward John Tyler deposed tbat he was a printer , in the employ of Messrs . Lewis and Co ., of Finch-lane , Cornhill . The prisoner was an apprentice to Mr . Lewis . He believed the letter in question to be the handwriting ofthe prisoner . —Sergeant Kendall produced the letter referred to , and likewise fhe song that had been written by the prisoner . The letter was thon read . Itwas addressed to Mr . Craster Humble , and its contents
were"Sir—I merely send you this to put yott on your guard , and to warn you that if you keep John Killerby in jour service , out of revenge I will murder one of your children , I have never failed jet . " The letter concluded nith abnse of Mr . Humble in very foul language , and a threat to murder him , and was signed , " Mr . "Whateveryou-like ; I defy you , sir . " Mr . Clarkson was about to address tbe jury on behalf of the prisoner , when he was interrupted b y Chief Baron Pollock , who intimated his opinion that there was not sufficient evidence against the prisoner to call upon him for a defence . The jury , after a short deliberation , returned a verdict of Not Guilty . Mr . Bodkin then said there were two otlier indictments against the prisoner , imputing to him the offence of attempting to administer poison , in one instance to the wife ofthe prosecutor in the former case ,
and in the other to a little girl eight years of age . The poison , which consisted of a quantity of oxalic acid , was sent , in hoth instances , in letters , and he was bound to state , that he could not carry the evidence as to the handwriting any further than in the last case , and the only additional fact he could show was , that the father of the prisoner was in the habit of using oxalic acid in his business , and the prisoner had opportunities of having access to it . The Lord Chief Baron said he had not had an opportunity of looking at the depositions in these esses , but , from the statement of the learned counsel , it appeared that they differed very materially from the former one . It would , therefore , be advisable that they should have
an opportunity of seeing what the facts were , before tbey gave an opinion as to the propriety of proceeding with the other indictments . Mr . Clarkson said the case had stood over for two or three sessions , and there had been ample opportunity of bringing forward evidence to identify the handwriting of theprisoner . He applied to the court to allow the prisoner to be set at liberty under tbe same bail , aad he would be ready to attend ou anj future occasion if he should be required to do so . Mr . Bodkin had no ejection to this course , and he suggested that the disposal of the other indictments should be postponed until the next session . The Court said the ; did not see auy objection to this course , and the prisoner was thereupon discharged .
Chabge or Aksok . —George John Pord , 35 , printer , was indicted for feloniously setting fire to certain premises i * his occupation , with attempt to defraud the Imperial Insurance Company . The particulars of this charge have _leen recently laid before our readers . The jury , after deliberating- for about an hour , returned a verdict of not guilty . The prisoner was then arraigned upon another indictment , charging him with setting fire to the premises of Mr . Allen , tbe principal witness in tbe former case . Mr . Clarkson said that after the full inquiry that had just been concluded , he should not , as the facts would be precisely the same , occupy the time ofthe court by offering any evidence . The company for whom he and his learned friend had the honour to appear felt it to be their duty to institute the present inquiry ; hut after the deliberate decision come to by the jmy , they considered they ought not to proceed any further . A verdict of not guilty was accordingly returned .
Theft . —Mary Ann _Uye and MaryWilson were indicted for stealing a quantity of wine and brandy , theproperty of Edwin Bryant , their master . Both prisoners were pronounced guilty . Judgment sa Nye , nine months ' imprisonment with hard labour , and on "Wilson , six months _. Stealing as On . Painting . —Philip Wetzner , a German , aged 33 , was indicted for stealing an oil painting and frame , value £ 3 , the property of Mr . J . Anuis , a pawnbroker in the City . The jury declared him guilty . The sentence was transportation for ten years . THDSSDAT . —THE DaBING ROBBEET AT _CAMBEaWIltf —Thomas Smith and Ann Jones were charged , the first with robbery accompanied with violence on Thomas Phillips , and stealing from him a bank note , value £ 10 ,
his property ; and the second with receiving the same , well kuowing it t _» have heen stolen . The robbery was committed on Decembe * r 14 th , at the house of Mr . Hamblin , of Catherine-place , Camberwell , where Mrs . Phillips , the lady in question , was on a visit . The case has been fully reported in tliis paper . On the prisoner ' s being asked { what they had to say in answer to the charge , Jones declared that she was innocent of any criminal intention . She was the wife of the other prisoner , and it was her duty to go and get the note changed when she was sent . Thejury after consulting for some time , found Smith guilty . A verdict of Not Guilty was returned in favour of _the'female prisoner . The former was then sentenced to be transported beyond the seas for the term of his natural life .
Fbidav . —Fbaod . —Benjamin Brown , a _well-dresssed man , aged -ii , was indicted for fraudulently obtaining a bUl of _exchange for £ 50 , the property of Charles Jacobs . The jury found the prisoner Guilty , and Mr . Commissioner Bullock sentenced him to be kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for one year .
Middlesex Sessions. Before The Assistant...
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . Before the Assistant Judge ( Mr . Sergeant Adams ) , and a Bench of Magistrates . The January quarter sessions of the peace commenced on Wednesday , at the Sessions House , ClerkenweU-green . The calendar was ratber heavy , containing the names of U 5 prisoners for trial , 110 of whom were committed for felonies of the ordinary character . —Thomas Miller , aged eight years , and Henry Rowley , aged fifteen years , were convicted for stealing a wooden till ] and tbe sum of £ 1 lis . Ci & ., and two canvas bags , the property of Andrew Glass . The Learned Judge , in passing sentence , alluded to the _correspondence that had taken place between the Secretary of State for the Home Department and himself in his
judicial capacity , relative to the class of juvenile offenders proper to be sent to Parkhurst Prison , in the Isle of Wight . The prisoners now before the court were fit subjects for its walls , but Sir J . Graham had ruled otherwise . These children were just sueh as would be benefited by its wholesome discipline , and had he the power to send them there , they would be placed iu a position to earn their own livelihood and to become respectable members of society ! By the present regulations the one was too young , and the offence of neither , of itself , warranted transportation , without which he had no power to send to Parkhurst . But he would in the present instance , notwithstanding the age of the parties , sentence them to transportation for seven years , and the government must exercise their own discretion as to sending them to Parkburst or not .

MANSION-HOUSE . Mondat . —The "Stags " , —A man named Robert Thompson , who was known in the neighbourhood of " Stag-alley * ' in Bartholomew-lane , at the time ot the railway fever , was brought befora the lord Mayor in the custody ofa policeman , charged with having stolen a banker ' s receipt for money on account of a railway company . Mr . James Hitcbin , of Newington . terrace , Brunswickplace , Dover . road , stated that he was a gentleman out of business , and that to the best ofhis recollection , on tbe 17 th of September Inst , at about one o ' clock , tbe prisoner came to him at the Hall of Commerce , to which he was
a subscriber , and had him called out . The prisoner said that he came from Mr . Gibbons , who was known to witness , for the banker's receipt for the deposits on forty shares in the British and Irish Union Railway . The deposits were £ 3 per share , amounting in the whole to £ 120 . Witness believing that the prisoner was duly authorised to receive the document , went to Mr . Brown , of Threadneedle-street , procured the receipt , and handed it to the prisoner , who waited for him outside the Hall of Commerce , and stated , npon being put in possession of it , that he had to go as far as Westminster , and would return in an hour or an hour and a half . Witness waited
in anxious expectation , until fire oclock , bnt tbe prisoner never returned , and wituess then went to the house of Mr . Gibbons , of Collet-place , atthe East end , oil and colour manufacturer , to ascertain what could be the cause of the delay . Mr . Gibbons said that he had neither given the prisoner authority to get the banker ' s receipt , nor even seen the prisoner at all upon fhe subject . The pri . soner disappeared altogether for some tunc , bnt witness , determined to punish so flagrant a violation of honest ; and good faith , never dropped the pursuit until he succeeded in apprehending the stag . The prisoner was remanded .
I " Widnesdat . —The Goabdians of the Poor . —wobli Conduct of the Loan Matob . —Three young women , named Ann Carter , Joanna Smith , and Jane Turner , were brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having broken a lamp opposite to the City of London Union in Cannon-street . The policeman who took the women into custody stated , that at _halCpast eight o ' clock on the preceding night he saw them throw stones at a lamp and break it . The defendants , upon _Jieing severally questioned by the Lord Major , said they ha J been . long in the habit of working hard with a laundrtJSS who had lately
left that business , and whose retirement put tliem completely out of work , and took from them the means of support . They declared that they were well able to earn their own bread , and all they required was the employment ; that they walked about the streets exhausted and hungry , aud had , after having in vain attempted toobtain assistance at the West London Union , applied to the house in Cannon-street , but were told by the person who attended at the dsor that tliey could not seo the superintendent or overseer , by whom their necessities might be _rebeved ; and that , despairing of help of any kind ,

they committed the offence iu ord that they might get food , although they knew tbat they would get punishment along with it . The Lord Mayor asked whether the defendants had made application more th » n once at the West Lond union for relief , and to what parishes they belonged ? One of the defendants said that she had been born in the very neig h _, bourhood of the City of London union , and tbat her parents were dead ; and the other two stated that they came from Ireland , but had no friends there , and if they were sent back to that country , they would be just as destitute as they were here , with the additional evil of having much smaller chance of being employed , One of the girls said they had been told , upon calling yesterday morning at tbe West London Union to beg relief , tbat they must call again at three o ' clock , and upon calling at
three , they were told tbey must call again at Jive , and npon calling at five , they were told they must call again at ten in the morning . The Lord Mayor : And you are willing to work ! The defendants : Certainly ; we are well able and willing , but what are we to do ? We can't perish inthe stseets , gentlemen . The Lord Mayor said to Alderman Farebrother , who sat with him and who has often in the same place expressed his hearty condemnation of the treatment to which persons who had no vice but poverty to be upbraided with were subjected , that it was most difficult for a magistrate with any heart at all to restrain his indignation at hearing such statements , for which he believed there was unquestionable foundation . It was quite evident that the three young women before him were not such persons as should be sent either to a prison or a workhouse . He
believed tliey were able to work , and he had no reason to doubt their willingness , but all signified nothing . At the places appo ' mted for dispensing relief to those who were sinking under want and fatigue , thero were kept porters who , like bull-dogs , growled and snarled at their appearance , and whose principal _recommendation was doubtless their capability of terrifying the deserving objects of public sympathy . — Alderman Farebrother said he fully agreed with the Lord Major in his lordship's observations upon the hard treatment to which the poor were exposed , and he reprobated the palpable neglect by which their well-founded claims and demands upon parochial bounty were met . The case before the Lord Mayor seemed to be one calculated to impress upon any humane officer the necessity of making inquiry into its merits iu a peculiar manner , and of affording
protection and refuge until the result of such inquiry should be ascertained . He ( Alderman Farebrother ) thought it would be advisable to issue a summons tothe superintendent or overseer of the West London Union to attend Guildhall Police-court , in which district the house was situated , to answer to the complaint , —The Lord Mayor : I shall send a _eummons'fjto him to attend here , for I have no idea of transferring a case of this kind to an office in which a magistrate , with views wholly at variance with mine upon so important a subject , may sit to adjudicate . I found « ccasion tbe other day to make some observations upon the manner in wbich the affairs of the City of London Union have been transacted , to tbe utter carelessness aud contempt which seemed to prevail amongst those in power , when investigation should take place into the alleged _condition ami
claims of applicants . I have received a letter from the hoard of guardians , professing to be an answer to these observations ; but it is no answer at alb Of that , however , hereafter . I have now only to declare that nothing whatever shall either coax or intimidate me from the performance of such a duty as the conduct I erery day see proofs of , in tbe treatment of the poor , imposes upon me in my capacity as chief mngis . trateof this city . — Alderman Farebrother : I fully agree with you in the expression of these sentiments . We unfortunately see , in our experience as magistrates , afflicting instances ofthe punishment of poverty as a crime . Theso three girls appear to me to be strongly entitled to our compassion , and the keeper of the Giltspur-street Compter will receive directions to take care of them until the necessary inquiries shall have been made .
MARLBOROUG H-STREET . Mokdav . —Captorb or Gambmbs . —Robert Wbodashdown , John Hart alias Bullock , John Thompson alias Weeks , —Lawren alias Lawrence , John Bclasco , F . Neine , George Sampson , John Mason , Frederick Ralph , and Lewis Gerhard were brought before Mr . Jfaltby , charged by the police withbeing gamblers , and with having beeu found in a common gambling-house , No . 11 , Castle-street , Leicester-square . The house in question is in appearance a coffee-house . The lower room is used as a blind , and the upper rooms are used for gaming purposes . The visit on Saturday night made by thc police is the second visit ofthe tort within a short period . The defendants were a rough-looking lot . Superintendent
Beresford , C division , proved that the police had received information , and that the proper legal steps had been taken to warrant their entry into the house . About twelve o'clock on Saturday night he took a number of constables to tbe house , No . 17 , Castle-street , and after a short delay obtained an entrance to the uppernnm , where the defendents were assembled . There were no gambling implements visible , but some dice , cards , and boxes were afterwards found in various parts of thc premises . The upper room was very difficult of access . The only way of admission was tlirough a sort of trap-door , wbich « as secured inside by two strong bolts . PersonB wishing to enter the room rang a bell , and if they were known , the trap-door was lifted up and they were admitted . Mr . Maltby indicted a fine on the ten defendants of 40 s , each .
WORSHIP-STREET . Monday . —Stabbing . —Georgiana Dempsey , a neatlydressed young woman , in an advanced state of pregnancy , was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton , charged with cutting and wounding a young man , named John Pitt , with a table knife . It appeared from the statement of the complainant ( whose lower jaw and one of bis hands were covered with adhesive plaister ) , that while seated in the tap-room of the Queen ' s Head public-house , in Pittfield-street , Hoxton , on Saturday evening , the pri . soner abruptly entered the apartment , and without uttering a wotd or receiving the slightest provocation , suddenly snatched up a knife from the table , and stabbed at bim three times in rapid succession . The first of the blows inflicted a severe gash in his lower hip , and the prisoner then aimed a blow at his left breast , thc knife
penetrating completely through his coat and under garments , but he succeeded in warding off the intended mischief by raising bis arm , and received a cut extending across all the fingers of his right band . Theprisoner was then secured by some persons in the room and given into custody , aud witness was conducted to the house of Mr . Packer , a neighbouring surgeon , who dressed his wounds , neither of which was , fortunately , * of a dangerous character . The prosecutor , after some hesitation , acknowledged that he had been living for some time with the prisoner , but that the connection had been broken off for somo time , and she had since been in the constant habit of annoying bim , and had been the meanB of depriving him of bis last situation . The prisoner , who was greatly agitated , and wept incessantly , said that she had lived for a considerable period with the prosecutor as his wife , but that he suddenly discarded her about three months ago , and to escape from her importunities , shortly after gave her into
custody upon an unfounded accusation of felony , and although the magistrate at once dismissed the charge , she was committed to prison in default of procuring bail , as tbe prisoner positively swore that he went in danger from her violence . Having heard , on her release from prison , that he had beeu thrown out of employment , and still feeling a lingering regard for him , she sought him out on Saturday night to give him a trifling sum she had earned oa the previous day , as a tailoress , when he as . sailed her with the foulest epithets , upbraiding her with the disgraee and ruin he had himself brought upon her , and excited her feelings to such a degree , that she lost all command over herself , and did nat know what she was doing . Mr . Broughton said , tbat however much he might feel disposed to " compassionate tho prisoner ' s situation , it could not be taken as a justification of the desperate conduct of which she had been guilty , and be must therefore commit her to prison , until the additional evidence necessary to complete the case eould be brought forward .

Dreadful Shipwrecks And Immense Loss Of ...
DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS AND IMMENSE LOSS OF LIFE . Never , perhaps , has there been known by the oldest mariner such a continuance of tempestuous weather , as has prevailed during the whole ot tne past month . The accounts from all quarters detail the most heartrending casualties at sea . Amongst tbose of the most distressing character are those ol the St . David steamer , trading with passengers and goods between Havre , Plymouth , and Liverpool , and the Tom Bowling steam vessel , with the loss ol nearly forty lives . The St . David steamer was thc joint property of the master , Captain Evans , and Mr . Davidson , a merchant residing at Havre , and was manned by a crew of twenty hands . It seems that she left Havre in tlie early part of last week , having
on board several passengers , the number ol whom could not be ascertained , and deeply laden , her decks being , according to reports received , loaded with casks of wine . She was seen by a vessel the afternoon of the day following her departure , and nothing was heard of her afterwards , until a few days since , when several casks of wine were picked up by a fisherman , about twenty-five miles east of Havre harbour , wliich were identified as having formed a portion of the cargo ofthe ill-fated steamer , which were stored en her deck . It is supposed that she foundered dining the gale—every soul on board perishing . The Transit steamer , which arrived at Southampton a few days since , brought letters _announcing that a large quantity of her cargo had been
found off the coast of Fecamp , where a body bas also been washed ashore , together with part of a ship's wheel , nivsch ornamented with copper . Thebody has been recognised as that of the engineer of the St . David . A trunk has been picked np , containing females' apparel , which is known to have beloBgedto one of thc female passengers . The other lost steamer , thc Tom Bowling , is supposed to have foundered during the gale ofthe 16 th aud 17 th ult . with all hands , off the Dutch coast . She was perfectly a new vessel , being only built at North Shields last summer , and was the property of the master Mr . Murray , and engineer Mr . Stewart , both of whom were on board of her , and of course perished . According to the information furnished us , she left
the river for Bremen or the llth ultimo , where she was to remain a few months on a trial cruise ; if found to be successful , it was understood that she was to have been purchased . On leaving Gravesend her crew comprised Mr . Murray , master ; John Reed , chief mate ; the second mate , name not known ; Mr . Stuart , engineer ; Paine , Tees , and Stephens , stokers ; two seamen , an apprentice , and a pilot . How for she proceeded is a mere matter of conjecture . Nothing bas been Been of ber since , although the passage is not more than three or four days . The probability is that she encountered the storm off the Dutch coast , as a boat bearing her name and the captain ' s , has been washed ashore at Norden , where so many fearful shipwrecks have occulted . That she is lost there is no doubt . The Dutch _Indiaman , Twee Cernelelenses _, wrecked inPervensey Bay , near Eastbourne , on Sunday
morning last , had a cargo valued at £ 30 , 000 , which was totally lost with the ship .- , Two other Indiamen were lost more to the westward—one called the Kate Nickleby , belonging to Glasgow , laden with rum , _sugar , and other "West Indian produce ; and the other named the Ness , from Demerara to Bristol . As regards tbe loss of the former ship , the only particulars received of her disaster are dated Westport , Christmas-day , which reports that she was totally wrecked on the night of the 23 rd , during a tremendous storm off the western coast of Erris , near Belwullell , but nothing has been mentioned as to the fate of the crew . Tlie other wreck happened on Tuesday morning , on ttie coast near Padstow . Within a short distance of the spot where the Ness went ashore , a vessel , which turned out to be the Albion Schooner , 160 tons burthen , belonging to Brixham , and laden with iron rails , was totally lost , and all hands , except one man .
Their names have been ascertained to be Mr . Salisbury Reynolds , master ,. a native of Kamsgate ; Henry May , William Bosle _, Thomas Bennett , and John ' Knowles . The survivor was lashed on the bowsprit , his name is William Viseley . The body of the mate is the only one that has been cast on the beach . The poor fellow has left a wife and live children to mourn his loss . To the westward of Dungcness Bay , near Rye , two most fatal wrecks happened during Christmas-day and the succeeding mghfc . The names ofthe illfated vessels were the Elizabeth , coal-laden , from Sunderland to Rouen ; and the Eliza , of North Shields , the property of Mr . Fleming , also coal laden , for Honfleur ; and dreadful to relate , every soul belonging to them , amounting to twenty persons , were
drowned . Similar catastrophes occurred off Wisbeach , Cromer , Yarmouth , Robin Hood ' s Bay , and Calais . That atthe first-named port was the lossofBbrigcalled the Young Adam , of Skegness , and seven of her crew perished . Off Cromer , the Richard , of Elsineur , foundered , and all on board , nine in number , went down with her . At Yarmouth , some miles out , two vessels were seen to founder , and as their crews have not been seen or heardof . it is supposed that every soul belonging to them were sacrificed . And at Calais , the Montague , of Newcastle , for Honfleur , also foundered . The crew , eight in number , took to the boat just before she went down , and were making for the shore , when the boat _capsised , and the whole of them perished .
Thirteen _coasting ' _vessels wem driven ashore during the gales off different parts of tbe Welsh , and the more distant parts of the Western coast , and in some instances , in consequence of the __ continuance ofthe gales , the greater part of them it is feared will become total losses . Eight out of the thirteen were attended by loss af life , each vessel varying from two to three of their crew . Along the Dutch coast the sacrifice of property has been equally as great as off the English . The total number of vessels reported to have been lost amounts to sixteen . The Belgian and French coast bave been visited with similar disasters , also occasioning a deplorable loss of lifo .

Serious Fraud on the _Nbwcasixe-i . i . diji ' _-Lime Bank . —On Tuesday last , at the quarter sessions for the borough of Newcastle , Staffordshire , held before Sir Fortunatus Dwarris ( the recorder ) , Reginald _Ayshford Wise pleaded guilty to the charge of having defrauded Thomas Kinnersley , Esq ., of Newcastle , by obtaining under false pretences , onthe 13 th of June , 1844 , the sum of £ 550 , at the Newcastle Bank . He was sentenced to be transported for seven years . The prisoner , who is thirty-five years of age , is the son of a banker , formerly in business at Totness , Devon ; his brother is a magistrate for Staffordshire , residing at Clayton-hall , near Newcastle . The facts , as disclosed by the depositions , are aa follow : — -On the day named in the indictment prisoner went to the Newcastle Bank , and stated that he had ordered the transfer of £ 1 , 600 from his bankers , Messrs .
Hoare , of Fleet street , to _Masterman ' s , the London agents of the Newcastle Bank , and that having bought an estate , the deposit on which he was obliged to pay down , he required an advance of £ 550 . Being a stranger to Mr . Kinnersley ' s clerks , the advance was refused , without he produced a note from his brother , Mr . Wise , of Clayton . Prisonersaid his brother was from home , and after much urgent entreaty the sum ( £ 650 ) was advanced , he giving his cheek on Messrs . Hoare for the amount . The check was dishonoured , and the prisoner was seen no more in the neighbourhood of Newcastle until the latter end of October _, when he was apprehended at Whitmore , about six miles distant . —[ It was proved before the committing magistrates that the prisoner had no funds with Messrs . Hoare , and never bad an account at their bank . }
Windsor , Sundat . —Soicidb op a _Pat-Skrqkaht in tue Grenadier Guards . —Yesterday evening an inquest was held before William Martin , Esq ., the coroner for the borough , at the infantry-barracks , Sheet-street , on the Body of John Richardson , a pay-sergeant in the second battalion of grenadier guards , who had _hung himself that morning . Colonel Sir John Burgoyne , in command of the battalion , and several of the officers , were present during the inquiry . A report having got abroad in the regiment , which is supposed to have no real foundation , that the deceased had been on improper terms of intimacy with the two daughters of another sergeant in tht same battalion , is imagined to have been the cause of his committing self-destruction . Colonel Sir John Burgoyne stated that shortly before nine o ' olock that morning , Captain Bradford , the adjutant , reported that Sergeant Richardson had hung himself and gave witness a sealed letter . Witness knew nothing about the reports alluded to , nor anything particular concerning the deceased , having onlv
lately himselt joined the battalion . [ The letter addressed to Sir John Burgoyne was then read to thc coroner and jury , and was to the following effect * — lhe writer , after alluding to the reports about him m the regiment , and declaring his innocence , spoke in most severe terms of the characters of the two females to which the reports referred , stigmatising them as " infamous in the extreme , " and rendering them "unfit to be suffered te be in barracks .

The Mubder At Yarmouth. Examination Of Y...
THE MUBDER AT YARMOUTH . EXAMINATION OF YABHAM . After two remands , for a week each , Samuel Yar ham was brought up before a full bench of magistrates , assembled at the Gaol Hall , on Monday last , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon , on a charge of being apnncipal in the murder of Mrs . Candler . Mr . Tolver conducted the prosecution , and Mr . S . B . Sherrington attended as his solicitor . A larg e concourse of people assembled in the street outside the gaol , although the examination took place two hours earlier than had been very generally announced bythe authorities . Amongst the crowd was Royal , who was
acquitted at the trial last year for the same offence . The examination was a private one , butwc believe that the subjoined w"ill be found a tolerably correct summary of the evidence adduced against Yarham . The superintendent of police narrated the particulars of his attempt to apprehend Yarham , and of his taking him at Blakeney , in Gloucestershire . The principal testimony against Yarham will be his own evidence when admitted a witness against Royal , Hall , and Mapes , and a conversation which Mrs . Dick , on oath , states that Yarham volunteered to her " about three weeks after the trial . "
It will be the object ot the prosecution to prove _that Yarham , when admitted approver , did not state the whole truth , which , if they succeed , according to the opinion ofthe Attorney-General , will subject him to a prosecution for the murder . Mrs . Dick adhered to tlie statement which she has recently , though not until to-day on oath , made , which statement we have recently published . Mr . Sherrington cross-examined Mrs . Dick on the improbability of her not knowing Yarham , having been examined in each other ' s presence before the magistrates on several occasions and at the trial ; on her talking with him for a quarter of an hour in the most public part of the town , and making a confession , the effect of which , if true , jeopardises her
own neck . A witness was called of the name of Sims , a boy in the service of Mr . Hume , of this town , a chimneysweep , for the purpose of strengthening the statement of Mrs . Dick , as to the fact of any conversation at all having passed between her and Yarham . We understand that this boy failed to corroborate Mrs . Dick ' s statement as to the time when she alleges the conversation to have taken place . The boy Sims states that he climbed up on the barrack palings the day after the murder ( not three weeks after the trial ) , and saw Mrs . Dick and Yarham in earnest conversation together . Mr . Catchpole , solicitor , was called , who proved that he came home from tbe Angel Inn , where he
had been dining , about half-past one on the morning of the murder , and was let in by Yarham , who was dressed . Yarham made no communication to him about anything haying happened at Mrs . Candler ' s ( whose bouse , it will be remembered , was separated only by a tliin boarded partition ) , nor was he made aware of it until the police came and called him up shortly after he * had been in bed . Yarham went with him into the shop , and saw the body of deceased ; he said he had been awake all the evening , and had beard no noise of any kind . Police-constable Johnson , and cx-police officer Waller , proved the trying of Mrs . Candler ' s door and
shutters , and finding the body of deceased behind the counter , in the manner described bv them at the inquest and trial . J . B . Bales , _sergeant-at-macc , stated that the day after the murder he went to tlie Denes , where the money was found , and examined several foot-marks , some of which , on comparing them with Yarham's shoes , he believed to be his . Yarham had a small foot , and the impressions , from his ( Bales ) knowledge , from having been a shoemaker , agreed _yery much with the size of the prisoner ' s . The remaining part of the evidence , given up to half-past five on Monday , when the Court adjourned , was almost literally the same as deposed to on the trial .-
The exclusion of the reporters and tbe public is the subject of- very general censure , and tends to increase the very popular belief that Mrs . Dick ' s statement is not to be relied upon , on account of its numerous and glaring inconsistencies . Committal op Yarham .- —On Thursday , Yarham was committed to Norwich Castle to be tried as a principal in the murder of Mrs . Chandler in April last .
Asothbr Death Trom Thb Bursting Or The H...
Asothbr Death trom thb Bursting or the Harrington Waterworks . —We regret to state that another has been added to the list of those who perished bj ; the bursting of the tank at the Liverpool and # Harrington Waterworks , in Water-street . The individual whose sufferings have . now been terminated was named Ann Devaney . She was the wife of Joseph Devaney , who occupied one ofthe illfated houses in Rock-street , which were destroyed by the calamity at the company ' s works , on Christmasday . Herself , her husband , and her son were taken from the ruins and removed to the Southern Hospital , in a much Injured state . The son died in a day or two after thc accident , and , at one o ' clock a . m ., on
Saturday morning the motherdied . When first admitted she had contused wounds on thehead , chest , and various other parts of the body ; and she was suffering severely from the suffocation she had endured whilst lying in the ruins . Subsequently she rallied a little , and hopes were entertained of her recovery ; but she was seized with inflammation of the lungs , tha res-alt of hex injuries , which was the immediate cause of her death . Six persons have now lost their lives by the bursting of the tank ; the mother and son , as we havo said , in the family of Devaney ; the mother and daughter in the family of Smith ; and the two women who happened to be of the same name , Catherine Gibson .
Miraculous Escape . —A most extraordinary escape from death occurred atthe Annerly station of the Croydon line on Friday afternoon week . In order that the matter may be understood , it should be stated that the trains are now performing sixteen trips per day ont he atmospheric principle upon the Croydon line . At the above named station , a swing bridge is _plaoed across the atmospheric tube and line of rails , to enable persons leaving the locomotive train to get to the turnpike-road . On Friday afternoon the locomotive down train arrived at Annerly , and passengers for that station were going away by the usual route . As there is no communication by means of the electric telegraph ' . at this station , the atmospheric train was not expected ; when with
lightning-like velocity , it was in sight . The guards and other persons seeing the imminent danger to persons crossing the line at the time , set up a loud shout , which so alarmed the passengers of the locomotive , that several of them jumped out of the carriages . Amongst the number was Mr . Kent , carpenter , of Croydon , who slipped and fell across the tube , tlie train , which was travelling at the rate of sixty miles per hour , being close upon him . Death seemed inevitable , he made a convulsive spring , and , wonderful to relate , the front part of tho driving carriage hurled him on to the platform , and he escaped uninjured . Supposed _Musdkr . — -On Sunday evening last the vicinity of Nunwick , near Ripon _, w & 3 thrown into great consternation by the discovery of the body of a female child on the sand bed of the river Urenear
, Nunwick . It appears that the child was about one day old , and had apparently been born alive ; and it is probable that the body may have been two or three days in the river . The Exeter Pirates at Dover . —The schooner Papucle Baptesta , of Azores , from London for Oporto , which put in here on Sunday week , is still lying m our harbour . This vessel has on board , as passengers , the men ( six or seven in number , we believe ) who , at Exeter assizes , in July last , were charged with the murder of the crew of H . M . S . Wasp , onthe coast of Africa , and sentenced to death , but who had been subsequently acquitted . —iiaidstone Gazette .

Of course , he cannot hesitate , for a moment , as to the proper step to be taken . Mr .

Escape ot a Th . br— A few days since , as a _caravan belonging to the proprietors of a small collection ot wild beasts , was passing tnrough Potter Heigham _, n its way to Yarmouth , the driver , in making room for a passing vehicle , incautiously drew too near the edge of the ditch , and by that means overturned the caravan .
