      MIDDLESEX SESSIONS .

      The September Adjourned Session Of The P...

      The September adjourned session of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced on Monday Hioroing at the Sessions House , Clerkenwell-green . There were forty-one prisoners for trial , the whole of them , with three exceptions , were charged with felony . . ROBBEBT AT THB EASTERN COBSTIES RAILWAY . — Thilip Smith , 26 , was indicted for having stolen a portmanteau , containing a dress coat and Other articles , and hat-box containing a hat and other articles , the property of Mr . William Bunn , from the premises of the Eastern Counties Railway Company . —The prosecutor ( Mr , Bunn ) said that he was a solicitor residing at Ipswich . On the afternoon of the loin of September he went to the Shoreditch station of the Eastern Counties Railway , having

      with him a portmanteau and a hatbox , containing ¦ various articles of wearing apparel . It was his intention to go by the three o'clock train to fP , " ?* He arrived at the station at half-past two o clock , and having given his lusrgage m charge of toe porter , he went to the refreshment room , lie nao only been there for about five mrauftM when , tfte porter came to him to make an » V "'{ " » ™ f * Cher he had sent any person to . etcJus luggage "H * dpnied havine done so , and went away wun me S ^ Sd the p risoner ' was subsequently given porter , . inu * £ . orter atr tne Eastern ' gZSS &^ JT & F" t he loth ult , the Jro " ec ^ rrived at the Shoreditch station in a IIS gave " portmanteau » nd hatbox into his / witness s ) care , and having marked them , he put them into the booking office . A few minutes

      after--wards he was engaged in taking some more articles to the office , when he observed the prisoner taking away the luggage of the prosecutor . The prisoner had got away with it about ten or eleven yards . Witness as » ed the prisoner what be was doing with the lwoage , as it did not belong to him , and he replied , " that it belonged to his cousin , who had ordered him to take charge of it , and that his cousin was then in the refreshment room at the station . Witness then went to Mr . Bunn , of whom he made some inquiries , and the prisoner was given into the custody of Trew , the officer . —The prisoner , in his defence , said that he never was before a magistrate until the present charge , and he hoped witn himThe

      the jury would deal leniently . — jury found the prisoner Guiliy , and he was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six mouths . Assault with Istkst . —James Day , 40 , was indicted for unlawfully assaulting Ann Hore , with intent , Ac . —It appeared that on the night of the 13 th September the prisoner invited a little girl , named Ann Hore , aged thirteen , into a show at Copenhagen Pair , Copenhagen-fields , and after the performance took her to a retired part of the fields , and there committed the offence which formedthe subject of the present indictment . —The jury found the prisoner Guilty ; and he was sentenced to imprisonment and hard labourfor twelve calendar months . _ . . _ „

      Stbaiikg prom thb Person . —Charles Tedman f leaded guilty to an indictment charging him with aving stolen a purse containing the sum of £ i 10 s ., the property and monies of Harriet Bamfield , from "her person . —Several previous convictions were put in against him , and he was sentenced to be transported for seven years . John Jforris was found guilty of stealing a purse , ihe property of Jabez Palmer , from bis person ; and being an old offender in crime he was sentenced to "be transported for seven years . John Maxwell was convicted of stealing a watch , ihe propeny of Francisco Monteso , the mate on board tbe Italian vessel Speranza , lying in the London Docks . He was sentenced-to imprisonment for six months

      , Margaret Emma Simpson , a respectable looking woman , who bad pleaded " Guilty" at the last sittings of the sessions at Westminster to an indictment charging her with having stolen a gold ring eetwith brilliants , of the value of £ 20 , from the shop of Mr . Waylett , 233 , Oxford-street , now came ap for judgment . —The prisoner , after she had pleaded , stated that she enjoyed an independency of £ 60 per annum , arising from landed property ; that she had an account at Courts ' , and that she had two sisters in Edinburch who were in affluent

      circumstances . —T 7 pon this statement the prisoner was remanded for the purpose of inquiring as to the trntb of her statements . She refused , however , to afford any further information to the officers , so that they were unable to test the truth of her assert ion ? . With regard to her-statement tbat she had an account at Coutts ' , that proved to be untrue , for the answer to the inquiry at that establishment was , that such a person was " not known" there . — Mr . Witbam now sentenced her to imprisonment for six months and hard labour .

      Comor / s Case . —Mary . dan Keough , 30 , was indicted , charged with having committed an assault , and with having beaten William James Broadwater . In this ease the prosecutor is a surgeon , practising in Cannon-street road , Whitechapel . He now stated that someje & rs since the prisoner had been in his service , and that while in that capacity an intimacy had sprung np between them , the result of which had been that she had given birth to a child , of which he was the father . After the birth , not only had he not denied tbat he was the father , but he had paid tbe whole of the expenses consequent upon the mother ' s ^ confinement , and bad subsequently made a provision lor the child . The mother , unhappily gave way to

      intemperate habits , and having been accused of having abandoned and deserted another child which she had had , he hac * deemed it a prudent act in reference to his own child to take it from her care and place it out to nurse . Subsequently to this proceeding , in consequence of the annoyances he had received from the defendant , he had , under advice , placed the child in the workhouse . The child was now three years of age . About two years ago the defendant assaulted him , and for tbat violence she had been committed , but he had on that occasion abstained from prosecuting , with the hope tbat the mere committal would act as a salutary warning to her . The example , however , had jailed * in its effect , and he had therefore been made

      the subject of the woman ' s annoyance at least fifteen or sixteen times since that committal . On these occasions the defendant had threatened that she would " do" for him . Upon the 19 th of September he went out , but had not proceeded above a hundred yards before the defendant caught hold of him by the collar and struck him several severe blows on the chest and shoulders . Not approving of this proceeding the prosecutor returned home , whither he was followed by the defendant and the mob her conduct had collected . The defendant and the mob remained in tbe front of his house , creating a great disturbance for nearly two hours , and this was not discontinued until he had called in the aid of a policeman , to whom he was

      compelled to give the defendant in custody . She was in due course taken before the magistrate at the Thames Police Court , and by the advice of that learned gentleman it was that tbis indictment had been preferred . The defendant now urged tbat she had not been permitted to see her child since it had been taken from her care , and tbat she had heard that it had become emaciated , and was , in fact , reduced to a perfect shadow in bodily appearance . She added tbat the prosecutor was spiteful to her because the child ' s nurse had summoned him for money doe for the nursing . The prosecutor admitted that he bad been summoned , but explained that the nurse bad not been paid in consequence of some misunderstanding . The whole of tbe claim

      had since been paid . In reference to the defendant ' s Statement as to the present condition of the child , that was utterly untrue ; for having beard the reports wbich the defendant had put into circulation on the subject he had made regular inquiries as to ihe condition of the child , and the replies bad been most satisfactory . If , therefore , the defendant ' s assertion as to the emaciated state of the child had been true he should have ascertained the fact , and . of course , would then have adopted steps for its recovery . —Mr . Witbam then left tbe case to the jury , who returned a verdict of Guilty . —Mr . Witbam said , the Court were not desirous of

      dealing harshly or oppressively with the defendant . It was necessary , however , that the peace should be preserved . With tbe view , then , of compelling her to maintain the peace tbe Court would order the defendant to enter into her own recognisances in the sum of £ 2 ( 1 to come up for judgment when called on . The defendant must therefore clearly understand that , if ehe repeated her system of an . noyance of . the prosecutor , she would be called up for judgment , whea her reward would be an imprisonment for six months . The defendant having entered into the required recognisances was then liberated .

      Assault on a Poucbmas . —Patrick Lavine , 25 , was indicted , charged with having feloniously assaulted David Jones , one of tbe police force , when in the execution of his duty , with the intent of preventing bis own lawful apprehension . The prisoner was also further charged with having inflicted grievous bodily harm upon the said David Jones , and then with a common assault . It appeared that at an early hoar on the morning of the 12 th ult . tbe prosecutor was on duty in Brick-lane , Spitaifields , and that on passing the end of a court in Glassnouse-street , tbe prisoner , who was standing there , struck him , and then , picking up a brick , threw it at him , but fortunately missed hisobiect . and the

      ^ wm « T ™ f T * ea 0 D it 8 fal 1 t 0 the ground » the ? SK Cked Up one of tQ e halves and was about to strike the prosecutor with it , when that nerimn ran up and at once took him into 2 E # ? ffiS prisonerappears to have made up his mind that if taken his opponent should have a hard fight for i " and BO a desperate struggle ensued . In the progress of this struggle the prosecutor ' s truncheon came out of his pocket , and therefore , as soon as the prisoner had succeeded in partially releasing himself from tbe officer he contrired to seize the truncheon , with which he at once commenced a fearful attack upon its owner . The prisoner b Ting , to a certain extent , disabled the officer , ef-

      fected his escape , and the constable had been from that morning under the medfcaV \! veatment ' of the surgeon to the division of the police force , and had not as yet been able to resume his duties . ' It further appears that the prisoner , after his escape from the prosecutor , bad accompanied a woman , to a brothel in Brick-lane , and that while there be produced tbe truncheon , and boasted that be had beep in a row with a policeman . It was stated by tne prosecutor tbat during the earliei ;?«'« «» struggle the prisoner had threatened to put three inches of steel nto his body . The jury returned a verdict of Guiit ™ and Mr . Witbam thereupon sentenced the prisoner to sixnionths' imprisonment with hard labour . . ¦ _

      Terrific Explosion Asd Loss Of Life At Z...

      Terrific Explosion asd Loss of Life at Zante . _ A correspondent , dating Corfu , Sept . 20 , says : __«« The Medusa , which arrived on Tuesday from the Ionian Islands , brought accounts of a most distressing accident which occurred very lately at Zante . A small house , on the ground floor of which was a shop kept by a Greek caught fire accidentally . . The major of the 41 st regiment turned out immediately with a party of his soldiers to aid in extinguishing it . The townspeople also nocked to the place in great numbers , to render what assistance they could . But before the fire could be extinguished , it had reached the second storey , and all of a sudden a most awful explosion ensued . It appears that two barrels of gunpowder had been imprudently concealed in a closet adjoining one of the rooms in the second storey . At . the

      veryjinoment of the explosion several persons were on tbe roof of the house , and the result' can easily be imagined . Eleven men perished at once , and among these a drummer of the 41 st regiment . The major of the same corps was severely wounded , and equally so were no less than 150 of the inhabitants . It is feared that several of the wounded will lose their lives . We have not been able to ascertain what became of the owner of the building . He may have perished under the ruins ; but if he can be laid hold of , he will soon be brought to a very severe account for his folly , carelessness , and for breaking the law which justly and strictly forbids any one from keeping in a dwelling within the town at one time more than three pounds weight of powder . This sad accident baa naturally thrown a deep gloom over all the residents in Zante .

      The Guy Reforming Itself . —At a meeting of the Court of Common Council , Mr . Alderman Lawrence , after several observations upon the report of the Committee upon the Election Act Amendment Act , moved that the Court adopt the following words contained in the first paragraph . They would , he contended , accomplish a more extensive reform than any that had ever been adopted by the Court : — " That every person who shall occupy premises in the . City of London for a period of a year and a day , and shall pay scot and bear lot , shall be a freeman and a citizen , aud shall be entitled to all the benefits and privileges , and be subject to all the duties thereof . " Mr . Alderman Sydney seconded the motion , and said he believed that if the Court adopted it they would have the approbation of the world , and even of the " Times " itself . After considerable discussion the motion was carried .

      Thb CoIiumbink ship , of London , from Newport , outward bound , has put back leaky , and proceeded to Bristol to discharge and dock .

      Liberation Op Kossuth. We Beg To Call Th...

      LIBERATION OP KOSSUTH . We beg to call the attention of our readers to an advertisement in our columns relative to tbe liberation of Kossuth , and his arrival in London . A Central Committee has been formed , which sits every evening at 10 , Wellington-street , Strand , under the presidency of that talented and ardent Democrat , Thornton Hunt . We advise all Trades ' Bodies , Friendly , and other Societies , to put themselves in communication with tbe Committee , and thus ensure tbe noble patriot a welcome worthy of the British people , and of the cause for which he so gallantly struggled . The French Government having placed difficulties in the way of bis overland

      journey from Marseilles , the Mississippi has sailed with its heroic crew to Gibraltar ; the probabilfy , therefore is , that he will not arrive at Southampton until Tuesday . We understand the Committee have made arrangements to have his arrival in this country immediately telegraphed to them , when further information respecting the proposed demonstration , banquet , & o .. will be announced . The speech of Kossuth , at Genoa , in which ho declares that his only hopes of the general welfare of Europe rests in an alliance of all Democrats with Mazzini and his friends , gives an increased interest to his visit at this critical period . We heartily wish the Committee success .

      Ahiicipatbd Arrival of the Patriots . —The Central Committee , appointed by the various political and trades bodies in the metropolis to get up a demonstration to welcome Kossuth on his arrival in London , held their second meeting at No . 10 , Wellington-street , Strand , on Friday evening .

Wheeler , Delaforce , Hoppey , Southwood , Sibley , Bezer , and Leno , were added to the Committee . 10 , 000 handbills were delivered for distribution to the various committee men . Mr . Henry Holyoake handed in

      10 s ., collected on a subscription list ; other members also handed in various sums . Lists with printed headings , were ordered to be given to members of the Committee . Steps were taken to learn the precise period when Kossuth would arrive in town ; and Messrs . Wheeler , Arnott and Pettie were appointed a Committee to draw up bills , get them printed , & cM immediately on receipt of this information . A variety of other business was transacted . The Committee sit at 10 , Wellington-street , Strand , every evening .

      Thb Liverpool Coustt Court, And Mb. Whit...

      Thb Liverpool Coustt Court , and Mb . Whittt . —On Thursday night , about a quarter past ten , Mr . Whitty returned from Lancaster Castle , from whence he had been liberated on payment of the fines , raised by subscription , - He was met at the Lime-street station by many hundreds of the most respectable tradesmen of the town , and outside the station a concourse of at least ten thousand persons had assembled . Mr . Whitty briefly addressed the assembled -multitude , thanking them for their sympathy , and the vast meeting soon after quietly dispersed , but not before they had given a loud and hearty cheer for the freedom of the press , and three equally hearty groans for the judge of the court , who had violated the dearest constitutional Fight of Englishmen .

      At the Middlesex Registration Court , on Thursday , Mr . G . Thompson , M . P . for the Tower Hamlets , was opposed upon the ground of his not legally describing his qualification . This claim was expunged . . Desiroctivk Fire . —On Friday a fire of a very destructive character broke out in some extensive premises belonging to Messrs . J . and . W . More , fish-salter , & c , Noel-court , New Kent-road . The flames originated from an unknown cause , in the principal warehouse . The total loss is very

      considerable , and none of the ' poor people who have lost their furniture , by hasty removal , were insured . Machine for Sams . —To be sold , a thrashingmachine , in good working order . Has birch , cane , and strap barrels . Warranted to lick , a school of fifty boys in twenty minutes , distinguishing their offences in the literary , moral , and impertinent .

      Mansion-House.—Lovers'presents:—W;T. Ch....

      MANSION-HOUSE . —Lovers'Presents : —W ; T . Ch . tpchase , a porter at one of the City taverns , was summoned before 'the : Lord Mayor for having illegally detainedtbe watch of Emma Pack . —The Complainant , a young country-woman , said the defendant had , " whilst paying very great , and , as she supposed , serious attention to her , taken possession of a silver watch which she had had for some time , and upon which she set a value proportioned to the time she owned it . The acquaintance between them , however , gradually became weaker , and at last the opposite feeling took place of the passion which each had expressed towards the other ; but the defendant forgot to return tbe watch when they were about to separate ; and as he bad given no equivalent during the whole period of the the

      courtship complainant thought the only course she could take was to apply for restitution through the Lord Mayor . —The Lord Mayor : Had he been paying his addresses to you ? Complainant : Yes , my lord , for some time . —The Lord Mayor : And why have you come to this determination to part ? Complainant : 1 want to know from him the cause of his coaduct . I am not to blame—The Defendant : My lord , she has got presents that I made her , and I think she ought to return them to me before I return her the watch . —Complainant : I never made him a present of the watch . It is not likely I would give him a thing of such value , when all he gave me as presents , as he calls them , wero a horn comb , a pair of odd gloves , and an Old Testament . —Defendant : I gave you other presents besides . You know I gave you a nutmeg-crater , a yard of Grand . Exhibition

      ribbon , a whalebone tooth-pick , and a pair of socks that I bought at a baby-jumpers . ( Laughter . )—The Lord Mayor : Well , I dare say she will readily give back these valuable memorials . I think she Ought to do SO , in commemoration of the loss of such a lover . —Complainant : Yes , my lord , he shall have them all back . I assure your lordship that I never gave him the watch—he took it off the table without my permission . If I had given it to him I never would have asked him for it again . — The Lord Mayor : Where is the watch ? Defendant : I have it here , my lord ( pulling it out of his fob , )—The Lord Mayor ( handing the watch to the young woman ); Very well . Take this with you into the country , and tell your friends that you have lost your lover and recovered your watch , and that you have reason to be thankful on both accounts . ( Laughter . )

      MARYLEBONE . —A Desperate Character . — An Irish labourer named Michael Sheehan , a most determined character , who has repeatedly been convicted at this court for brutal assaults upon police constables , two of whom are still suffering from violence inflicted by him upon them some time ago , was again brought before Mr . Long , charged under the following circumstances :-Savory deposed , that on Sunday night at ten o ' clock , as he was on duty in John-street , Edgeware-road , he heard loud and threatening language used to a constable in Horrace-strcet close by , when , knowing that Lennard was the only officer there , and that the street alluded to was inhabited by the lower orders of Irish , who were continually attacking the police , he ( witness ) hastened to his brother officer ' s assistance i he then found the

      prisoner , who was very drunk , abusing Lennard , and swearing that " he would have his b— -y revenge upon the force ' , he had had it more than once , and he'd be d—d if he wouldn ' t have it again ; " hentade a hit at Lennard , who advised him to go quietly , away and , on witness interfering , prisoner gave him a severe blow under the ear ; he was then taken into custody , when he was speedily rescued by a mob of his own countrymen and fellow labourers , who endeavoured to conceal him in an adjacent beer-shop , but on additional police aid coming forward he ( prisoner ) was captured and ultimately locked up . He struck witness two other blows , one by the beer-house alluded to , and the other at tho station ; the blow given him at the latter place knocked him down . —The prisoner was not fined , but sent at once to the House of Correction for a month .

      Chuemv by a Mother . —One of the officers attached to the court brought up a woman named Anne Davis , who for some time past has cohabited with a stone mason at 6 , Molyneux-street , Lissongrove , for cruel treatment of one of her children , a little girl , by burning her with a red hot poker . — The defendant , who carried in her arms an infant , seemed to be about forty years of age ; she was very respectably attired , and her countenance certainly did not betoken a cruel disposition . —The sufferer , a sickly looking child , was led in by a young woman , who had taken a very praiseworthy interest in the distressing affair . —Mr . Long read the warrant to defendant , which set forth the nature of the charge of cruelty against her , when defendant eagerly and imploringly said , " I did it in the heat of passion . "

      — The poor child , Ellen Davis , having replied satisfactorily to questions put to her by the worthy magistrate as to the nature and allegation of an outb , was then sworn , and she deposed as follows : —I am eight years and a half old . The defendant is my mother . On Monday fortnight my sister gave me some cocoa to drink , and because I took it at her bidding my mother scolded me and burnt me on my bottom with a red hot poker ; after that she made me take off and wash my clothes ; before 1 did so and while I was quite naked , she beat me with a cane and whaled me , and also kept pinching me . — Mr . Long : At what hour was it she burnt you with the poker ? Child : At six in the evening , and at about seven she tied me tightly to the bedpost with a rope round my waist . When my father ( the man

      living with defendant ) came home she loosed me a for a time , and then tied me up again , so that 1 was obliged to lay upon the floor under the bed all night . My legs were tied together in the first instance , and so were my hands , but my hands were loosed when my father returned . I was secured tightly to the bedpost the whole of tbe next day by cords , my legs , but not my arms , being then confined . — —Mr . Fell ( the Chief Clerk ) : Were you supplied with any food during the time you were tied up as you have stated ? Child : Yes , sir , a little . On Tuesday mother gave me some milk and water and a little dry bread for my breakfast . I had the same for dinner . —Mr . Long : When were you untied ? Child : On Wednesday morning . —Mr , Long ; Who then untied you ? Child : My mother . —Mr . Long :

      When did you first tell anybody about what had happened to you ? Child : On tho next Friday , when I left the house and went to Kew to my grandfather and aunt who live there . ( It was here stated that the parties she alluded to were no relations , but that , as she had formerly been at nurse with them , she had been in the constant habit of speaking of them by the appellations named . )—Mr . Long : How did you get to Kew , my little girl ? Child : I was taken there on the top of an omnibus . —Mi . Long : Has any doctor attended you for the injury you have received ? Child : No , sir . —Mr . Long : Can you' now sit without pain ? Child : Oh no , I cannot . —Mr . Long ( to tbe defendant ) : Do you wish to ask this child any questions ? -Defendant ( to her daughter ) : How many times have you run away ?

      Child : Several times , mother . —Defendant : And why have you done so ? Child : Because you threatened to give me a beating . —Prisoner : I have always treated you as well as the rest of my children . —Mr . Long : Then if you had done so , you must , according to what has appeared before me , have used all your children most cruelly . —Mr . Fell : You don ' t beit them all with a red hot poker , do you ? —Defendant made no answer to this question . — Emma Gibson was the next witness : 1 live at 4 , Bryanstone-place . On Saturday morning last , in consequence of what I heard from my brother , I went to the defendant , and asked her if she had heard anything of her child , when she said she had not , and that she should not trouble herself to look after her any more . I told her I thought she had better go to the werkhouse to see if she was there , as it was such a wet night , when she said she would

      not do anything of the sort , and she should be glad if the child was out in the wet and lying under a hedge . She told me that she had given her a good beating with a stick and burnt her bottom with a poker , which she had taken red-hot from the fire . She did not consider it would have been any sin to have " put away with it" if nothing had been found out respecting it . On Sunday I went to Kew and examined the child ' s person , when I found upon the right side of her posteriors the marks of a burn , as if caused by a red hot poker as described ; it was as broad as three of my fingers and as long as my hand ; it was very Bore and inflamed , and is so at the present time . The poor child cannot yet sit without experiencing much pain .-Mr . Long , after making some suitably strong and feeling remarks upon the flagrant nature of the offence , remanded the defendant .

      WORSUIP-STREET .-Margaret Willis and Eleanor Shannon , two women of notorious character , were charged with decoying three boya into a house of ill lame for the purpose of robbery William Miles , 13 years of age , the son of a mechanic in Spring-gardens , Mile-end , New-town , stated that while passing through Brick-lane , Spitaifields on Monday evening , in the company of two other boys of much the same age , they were stopped bv the women at the bar , who addressed them in disgusting language and tried to induce them to accompany them homo to their lodgings . They all of them refused to do bo , and were hurrvine awav

      to escape , when the prisoner Willis suddenly snatched his cap off his head and ran with it into one of tbe houses in an adjoining court . He followed her into the passage , and entreated her to return him his cap , and she promised that she would do so if his two friends came and asked her for it also . He accordingly returned to the other boys and persuaded them to go with him , and all of them went into one of the parlours , which the prisoner Willis had entered ; but the moment they got into the room the prisoner shut and locked the door , and then turning sharply upon tbem , exclaimed ui a menacing man B ^^ ^ « Now if you don ' t

      Mansion-House.—Lovers'presents:—W;T. Ch....

      show me all the money you ' ve got , you don't go safe out of this place . " ' The . y were " all very much frightened ,-and rhe ' -witness : pulled out . of his pocket all the ' money . . he . had , consisting only of sixpence , in silver and some halfpence ,, and the instant the prisoner saw it she seized him by the arm and violently forced it out- of his hand . She then robbed the second boy of all the money he bad in a similar manner , but ,, on finding that she could not get any from the third youth , as he had no money about bim , she grasped hold of the poker , and opening the room door , told them that unless they instantly left the house and went quietly out of the neighbourhood it would be the worse for them , as she would dash their brains out . They were too glad of the ohanco of escape to make any disturbance , and all three hurried out of the bouse together ; but on

      turning into a neighbouring street , encountered a policeman , to whom they related the way in which they had been robbed , and the officer having gone back with them to the house , took into custody both prisoners , whom witness at once pointed out to him . —Both prisoners stoutly denied the charge , and Willis declared with the greatest effrontery that the money taken from her by the officer , had been voluntarily presented to her by one of the youths , in consequence of her permitting him to accompany her home ; but the Magistrate did not credit her itory , and after directing Shannon to be discharged , as he did not think the facts against her sufficiently criminatory to insure a conviction , ordered tho other woman , Willis , to be committed until that day week , for the completion of the depositions against her .

      Brutal Attack . — A powerful fellow named Woodward was then charged with the following savage attack upon a poor woman , who is now in the London Hospital from the injuries she had sustained . —A married woman named Harris , living in Dorset-street , Spitaifields , stated that she and her sister , the woman lhe prisoner had maltreated , entered a public-house , late in the evening , to meet a friend of theirs , and , on going into the parlour , where followed by the prisoner and-some other men . They took in with them a potfull of beer , which they passed to a young man named Baker , and Baker passed it to the witness ' s sister , but , the instant the vessel was returned to the table , the prisoner exclaimed that he would not hare any

      of them drinking with bim , and , seizing up the pot , burled it at her head with such force that she instantly dropped from the blow , her head was laid open with a fearful gash , and the blood run from the wound in such profusion that she was obliged to be conveyed to the . hospital , of which she was still an inmate . —The prisoner pleaded circumstances of aggravation , as he considered them , but was ordered to be remanded until the result of the injuries the woman had received could be ascertained . Charge of Murder . —Joseph Parker , a middleaged labouring man , was charged upon suspicion of having murdered Anne Parker , his wife . —Silvester , a constable , stated : About half-past seven o ' clock on Saturday night I was on dutv near

      Shoreditch Church , when the prisoner ' s brother ran up to me in great alarm and told me he was afraid the prisoner ' s wife was dead . I immediately hastened to No . 5 , Edward ' s-place , Old Street-road " , the house indicated , and on going upstairs to the front room first floor I saw the prisoner ' s wife lying on the floor , bleeding from a terrible cut on the forehead , over the eye , and with the assistance of another constable who then came into the room , we placed her upon a chair . She was speechless and totally insensible ; and , as she was evidently in extreme danger , we procured a cab , in which we placed her , and conveyed her to the hospital . When I first entered the house I saw the prisoner sitting in the room below stairs , in a state

      of partial intoxication , but apparently well knowing what he was doing . As soon as the woman was carried away in the cab I went back to the house and took him into custody . I told him I took him for violently assaulting his wife , to which he made no reply ; but on the way to the station he said , ' I have done nothing more than my duty , " which he repeated several times , and , on reaching the station , ho said , "I will be strong at heart and stand to my text . " He refused to give his name or address , to bare the charge entered against him ; he fell down in a fit and struggled very much . On examining the room where I had first discovered the deceased , I saw a great quantity of blood upon the bed , pillows , and sheets , but , though I minutely

      searched the place , I could find no weapon of any kind that was likely to have caused the injury the woman was suffering under . On first seeing the deceased I saw blood issuing from her mouth as well as from the wound in her forehead , but not a great deal . —William' Smart , a tinplate-worker , said : About three o ' clock on Saturday afternoon the prisoner ' s wife came to me , and was followed by the prisoner immediately . As soon as he got in he attempted to strike her with his fist , but I went in between them to prevent it . He urged his wife to go home , but she refused , as she was in danger of her life from him . She was at that time not sober , and my wife saw her home . That was about four o'clock , and at five I

      saw the prisoner coming out of his house . — I asked after his wife , and he said , " I have given her something , to tell her brother that I was the cause of the drunk . " I said , " I don't know whether you are the cause of her drunkenness , but you set her a very bad example j you are always drunk , and some of these days you will do her some mischief , and then be sorry for it . " The prisoner then left the court , half drunk and half sober , and rather excited . When called upon for his defence , the prisoner denied the violence imputed to him , and accounted for the condition the deceased had been found in by stating that she had fallen out of bed and injured herself in the manner described ; but he was remanded for a week for the completion of the depositions .

      • Charge or Murder . —Charles Jarmam , a horsekeeper in the service of Mr . George - Page , a cab proprietor in James-street , Mile-end Old Town , . was charged with the wilful murder of a man named Plimpton , a stableman in the same employment . —John Marshall said ; I am also in the service of Mr . Page as a labourer , and knew the deceased , who was engaged in the stables . About one o ' clock this ( Wednesday ) afternoon I was busy in one of the lofts , when I heard the prisoner and the deceased quarrelling at a stable door on the opposite side . The deceased bad a mop in his hand , and the prisoner had the stable-fork produced in his . Some more words ensued between them , and I then saw the deceased strike the prisoner with the mop

      across his shoulder ; they were facing each other , and he struck him apparently as bard ' as he could . The prisoner upon that exclaimed , " I will stake the with this fork , " but did not strike the deceased , and I went back into the loft , and did not see what afterwards took place . About a quarter of an yiour afterwards , however , I had occasion to go down into tbe stable , and then saw the deceased lying upon the ground fainting and speechless . I lifted him up , but he could not utter a word , and I then saw that he was bleeding , but not profusely , from a wound in the breast , just beneath the nipple . The deceased bad only his shirt on , and the prisoner , who was standing by his side assisted him , ran off for a small quantity of brandy ,

      which he poured down the deceased ' s throat , but I still did not hear him utter a word . Tho prisoner , I ; and another man then carried the deceased to some clean straw , upon which we laid him , and I went to get my dinner , leaving the prisoner and another man with him . On my return I still found the deceased lying on the straw , whether alive or dead then I do not know , but he was perfectly still . The other man was at that time looking to the deceased , while the prisoner was getting his horses ready in the same stable , and he remained there for a whole quarter of an hour , A cabman and another horsekeeper then came in , when by their advice we took the deceased to the London Hospital , and upon searching about 1 found the fork the prisoner had had in an adjoining stable . —The prisoner

      here incautiously asked the witness : Did you see what the deceased had done to me before I struck him with the fork ? The witness replied in the negative , and the magistrate directed the question and answer to be at once taken down by Mr . Vine , the chief clerk . —Henry Taylor , a constable in the K division , stated : About half-past two this ( Wednesday ) afternoon I received information of the de-Ceased having been killed by the prisoner , and therefore lay in wait at the end of the Bethnalgreen-road to effect his apprehension . A short time after the prisoner came down the road with a pair of horses , and I immediately stopped him , and told him he must go to the station-house with me . I was about to tell him what 1 wanted him forbut

      , before I could do so he said , "I know what you want me for ; ia he dead ? " I said I believed he was , | and he replied , "He threw me down behind akicking horse , and I therefore struck him with the fork , and it went into his breast . " He then said , " Take me straight to the station as soon as you can , but don't take me into tho yard again . " I was however obliged to take him into the yard , and then transferred bim to the station . —Sergeant Curtis , 13 K , said : I went to Mr . Page ' s yard at two o ' clock to capture the prisoner , but did not find him there , though he was afterwards brought in by the last witaess , and I overheard him repeat the observation as to the

      deceased having thrown him down behind a kicking horse , and his dealing him a thrust in return with the fork . The . prisoner then added , "After I had struck him with tbe fork he ran me half way round the yard , so thut I did not think there was much the matter with him . " When the prisoner first began to mako thii * statement I told him to be cautious what ho said , as it would be used against him , and he cried very much and seemed very sorry I ° , ' «« 8 1 Produced the instrument with which the stab had been inflicted , an ordinary two-pronged JfhiSi ° rk ' uu i ""? [ , nhloh exhibited ne stains of blood , aslthadevidiwtly been since used ; but the witness Marshall positively identified it as the one he had seen in tbe possession of the prisoner at the too of his quarrel with- the deceased , and tho for-

      mer did not deny it . The first witness also added , in answer to a question , ' that though the deceased , on his way to the hospital , was perfectly speechless and rapidly sinking , he did not appear to be dead , but that directly after he reached that institution it was pronounced by the surgeon who examined him that his life was extinct . —The prisoner , who while at the bar seemed to be perfectly careless as to the evidence detailed against him , and afterwards went soundly to sleep on being locked up in the cell , offered no observations in reply to the charge , and , the witnesses having signed their depositions , he was remanded until that day week for the attendance of the surgeon to depose to the appearances upon the post mortem examination . THAMES . —William Smith , a carpenter , 32 j ears

      of age , residing at 8 , George-street , Spitaifields , was charged with singing and causing a mob to assemble in Cable-street , Whiteehapel , thereby creating an obstruction in the foot and carriage way . —Groves , a police-constable , stated that at a quarter to eleven on Saturday night be found the prisoner in Cable-street , singing . There was a great crowd round him , and on witness desiring him to desist , he cried out , " I know the act of parliament better than you , and I have a right to sing in the streets . "—Mr . Yardley : And so he had a right to do so . You had no business to take him into custody , aud he is discharged . It does appear that he knew the act of parliament better thau you . —The prisoner was then discharged . Attempted Mubder .- —John Coghlan , aged thirty

      eight , an Irish labourer , was brought before Mr . Yardley , charged with attempting to murder his wife Margaret , who , it appeared , was taken to the London Hospital on Tuesday evening with a severe incised wound in the scalp and with fractured ribs , and who is at present in a most precarious condition . —Mary Carpenter , of 4 , Cartwright-street , Rosemary-lane , said the prisoner and his wife lived in the same house as she did . They were quarrelling on Tuesday evening . Tbe prisoner ' s wife , who was screaming and calling out " Murder " rushed out of the house , and soon afterwards returned again . The poor woman was covered with blood , which was flowing copiously from a severe wound on her head , and she said her husband had beaten and nearly killed her . Witness , at the . request of the woman ,

      washed the blood off her face , and soon afterwards she went out again , and did not return . A tailor ' s sleeve-board , taken out of Mrs . Carpenter ' s apartment , was here produced , and the witness said it belonged to the prisoner and was thrown down stairs . It was a very heavy board and was stained . with blood . —Police-sergeant Foay , 7 H , stated tbat , at eight o ' clock on Tuesday evening the prisoner ' s wife rushed out of her dwelling with her bair in disorder and streaming with blood . She fell into the arms of a police-constable named Stocken , 183 H , and immediately afterwards became insensible . When the woman was brought into the station-house in Lemanstreet she was apparently in a dying state , and no time was lost in procuring the aid of Mr . Little and Mr . Comley , two surgeons residing in the neighbourhood , who attended immediately . It was some time before she exhibited any signs of life , aud she was afterwards removed with all possible care to the

      hospital . He afterwards went to the prisoner ' s house and took bim into custody . Upon making him acquainted with the charge against him , and that his wife was likely to die before he got back to the station house , the prisoner savagely exclaimed , "And a b y good job too if she was to die ; she has beeu drunk all the week . " Foay then put in a certificate from Mr . Reed , house surgeon of the London hospital , stating that the patient had received a severe incised wound on the scalp , and that some of her ribs were fractured . —Mr . Yardley : Tbe certificate does not state she is in danger . When is she likely to be able to appear ?—Foay : It will be some time first . She lost a large quantity of blood , and has received a frightful wound on her head . She is quite insensible , and has never , spoken since she was taken to tbe hospital . —Mrs . Carpenter was recalled , and said there was no one in the room but the prisoner and his wife when the blows were inflicted . —Mr ,

      Yardley .- Let the prisoner be remanded for a week . — The prisoner , a morose looking fellow , uttered not a word during the investigation . WESTMINSTER . —An Uksaturai .

She left that establishment with her infant on the oth ult ., and on the 7 th ult ., late in the evening , it was found at

      the step of a door in James-street , Buckinghamgate , wrapped in a flannel petticoat . It was conveyed to St . Margaret ' s workhouse , where it expired on Saturday week . The child having been recognised by one of the nurses there , information of the desertion was given to the police ; and Sergeant Loom , of the B division , went to Winchester , where the husband's regiment is lying , and apprehended the prisoner . —The result of the coroner ' s verdict , that the child had died from natural causes , having been communicated to the magistrate , Mr . Arnold inquired of the accused whether she wished to say anything ?—The prisoner , who had upon her apprehension admitted the desertion , replied in the negative . She was sentenced to eleven weeks imprisonment as a vagrant .

" " The

      prisoner replied , " It ' a all right , governor . " Prosecutor said , "It ' s anything but right , " and seized him by the collar . The prisoner struggled , and succeeded in making his way to the staircase . The prisoner then began knocking him about , and at last gave him a blow which cut his cheek .

"When the first act was over the male prisoners went out , and shortly afterwards returned and took their seats alongside the female with whom they conversed in whispers . At the end of the opera a great number of people left the pit , and the prisoners moved over the benches towards some females . He then saw the female put her hand in one of their Dockets and

      pass something to Thomas , who pushed among the crowd . The others also got among the people and attempted to leave the theatre , but he procured assistance and secured them .

      "Yb Bachelors op England" Rejoice ! —h 8 Roman censors frequently imposed fines on un . married men , and men of full age were obliged to marry . The Spartan women , at certain games laid hold of old bachelors , dragged them round their altars , and inflicted on tbem various marks of in . famy and disgrace .

She encountered a heavy gale on the 25 th of August , whioh continued with great force for several days . On the 27 th the crew discovered she had sprung an extensive leak , which soon rendered her completely unmanagable-this was in lat . 45 . 47 , _ long 54 . 36—the water increasing fast , and the ship settling down by the heap ; the launch was got out , and the master , Captain Roailans , ordered the crew to get into it ; but although every persuasion was used , only sis men with the mate could be prevailed upon to do so , the remaining nine .

      who seemed panic struck , remained on board . The boat could not lay by the ship but pulled after her in imminent peril , shipping heavy sea continually , and frequently full to tbe thawrts . While followin her wake the mainmast suddenly fell , and in tho next moment the ship gave a lurch and went to the bottom . Nothing could be afterwards seen of the . unfortunate fellows who went down in the vessel , they all perished . The survivors in the launch wero picked up in the course of the following day by the crew of the schooner , Martha Grenoe , which safely landed them at Shelburne .

      CATTLE . SwiTHFIELD , Monday , September 29 . —The shoiv of foreign stock in to-day ' s market was again extensive , but not so Jarge as had been expected , owing to the non-arrival of some of the Dutch steamers . From the northern grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were heavy—viz ., 2 , 800 short horns . From other pa « -ts of England they were confined to 700 Herefords , runts , Devons , ic . ; and from Scotland , 27 horned and polled Septs . The general quality of the bullock supplies being inferior , the primest Scots , Herefords , and Devous were in somewhat improved re « quest , and in some instances they commanded a slight

      advance in the quotations ; the highest figure being 3 s ( id per 81 bs . ; but in all other breeds were very dull at lust Monday ' s decline in value . There was a decided falling oft in the number of sheep compared with that shown on this day se ' nnight ; nevertheless , the mutton trade was in a sluggish state , at unaltered currencies . The general weight and condition of the sheep were by no means good . The supply of calves , though not to say extensive , n ; is fully equal to the wants of the trade . In prices no change took place . Although there was an improved sale for both English and foreign pigs , the quotations remained unaltered .
