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 Borehani . 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 nexfinvestigation . 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 m two sureties in £ 100 each .

Spirited Chase And Capture Of Burglars. ...
SPIRITED CHASE AND CAPTURE OF BURGLARS . A clever burglary , followed by a spirited chase and gallant eapture 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 Russ , 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 veiy bountiful style , and had with them a spirited little pony and a light spring cart . On Monday morning , the 25 th 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 a vast 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 thorn were obtained at Leominster and Tenbury , but they wore some six or eight hours in advance . However , the officer rode on , and on reaching Bewdley learnt that they had not been gone any long time . Fresh 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 Dixon and Jefleries , they travelled at a furious rate , anil 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 M ; lgpie public-house . The pony was having his mouth washed with a quart of alo , having trotted more than GO miles at a sharp pace . In order that suspicion should not be excited , the officers passed the house , but stopped at the first turning and then walked back . Dixon walked into the kitchen , where the five plunderers were , and told them that they must consider themselves prisoners . One of thorn instantly dashed the . window into the road , and made a vigorous effort to escape , but Dixon
secured him . Thry made a terrific attack on the oflicerB . One ruffian seized a poker , another a heavy pair of tongs , and a third wielded a heavy life-prescrvi-r , with which lie dealt J tileries a severe blow on the head and stunned him . Dixon sustained a nerious blow on the lower part of the face , and ; i man named Kuowles , who was put to watch the cart , was bitten by a large bull dog which lay concealed in the vehicle ? . At length the prisoners were disarmed , and being secured and tied with ropes they were conveyed to the police-station . The cart was then examined . It contained several bags , and in them wan
found the whole of the plate stolen from Mrs . Kvaim ' mansion . In one of the bags was also an assortment of house-breaking implements , with all sorts of cenirebilH , picklocks , dark lnntcrnn , Ac . The men were brought back to l ' rcsteign on the 27 th . At present it is difficult to Htatc precisely the extent of the depredations of the gang . It is Hinted that the prisoners Wallis and Russ have admitted being concerned in the burglary . In compliance with a wish of the police ; , the bench of magistrates decided on remanding the prisonera for a week , in order that the chain of evidence might be completed , but K < 1-warda wna admitted to bail .

Lcwih , Hiiid : Since we laNt met 1 have read over and Htudicd very attentively all the depositions which were taken before me , us well as the evidence given before the coroner ' tt iuqucHt on tbiw Hubject . I have ; uIho , in the company ol an o / Iicrr , visited J'luintree-court , and lnive examined Mra .

[ He recapitulated the whole
of the evidence taken , and c ommented upon the various parts of it , particularly on the evidence of oneof ttj surgeons , and said ] -The conclusion I **™ ™ m * g 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 ha ve a further inquir / 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 res posibihty w hichi 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 I 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 police force , and infinitely more satisfactory centra
to my own mind , that the case should go to tne - Criminal Court , where it will be tried by a jury and have the 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 . 1 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 £ 10 U each . , , , . Mr . Goodman , the chief clerk , having read the voluminous depositions , . Mr . Alderman Wilson , after the usual caution , asked the prisoner if he had anything 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 .
Miscellaneous. Parliament Was Further Pr...
MISCELLANEOUS . 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 Lodginghouses .
The " Irish Democratic Alliance " held a soiree on Monday , in the Rotunda , to celebrate the escape of M'Manus . Father Kenyon sent a note excusing his attendance . It contains one remarkable passage : — " Holding firm by my faith by John Mitchell's principles , but utterly despairing to witness their prevalence , I have for three years abstained from politics , except on a few occasions , when they seemed as if to force themselves upon me . 1 thought that absolute rest would become thcconiitry better , and be more likely also to serve it in the end , than ;; ny imitation that could be reasonably
expected ; and tin ; present condition of things in Ireland seems to me to justify the course which I have adoptedfor the two gieat movements which now divide the popular attention I account entirely retrograde and entirely wrong . Respecting the Tenant League , you will probably have learnt from the newspapers how widely 1 dissent from its principles and policy ; and the Catholic Defence Society , not to speak of the absolute pettiness of its whole scope , in based upon an unconditional allegiance to the British Crown under any and every contingency . "

They were holding a HCHsion , according to the last , mail , at , IiidianopoliH , debating their condition iirlhe State ** , and proposing emigration either to Canada , Jamaica , Mexico , New ( jlrau . ida , or Central America . Feeling ran in favour of Canada .

Hackett, The Notorious Burglar Who So Ad...
Hackett , the notorious burglar who so adroitly 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 . S ergeant Adams , to transportation for ten years . He had been concerned in a robbery in Newcastle-court , and w as a well known thief . On the sentence being passed he ex . claimed 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 thiew showers of sparks and flakes of burning wood around . At length the fire-escapes were ingeniously used ; the hose being conveyed up them , both 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 ar > d 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 .
