      EXECUTION OF AMERICAN - SYMPATHISERS IN CUBA . The Uflited States Mail steam-ship Huinliahlfc , Captain Lines , from New York , en route for Havre , arrived of Coves on Thursday morning , and after transhipping her Englufi mails au « l passengers , imvrtedbuel y left for Lor destination . She brought a large and -laluable cargo , a good number of passengers , ur , d specie to the amount of 100 , 000 dollars , consigned to London The intelligence from Cuba that reached K < sw York on the 21 st ult ., relative to the elocution of fifty American prisoners , at Havr . iinab , created the deepest interest . The

      fo lowing is the account of this sanguinary Kjfiir , as famished by the mail agent of the Ele tmer Cherokee : — ' It appears that on or . vout the 11 th of August , the Pamperio , M-uUh . left New Orleans on tho 9 th , with Ot-ueral Wonez an / 1 suite and 4-50 men , landed its passengers at Bahia Honda , about forty rn ' ,: « 3 from Cuba . They were soon met by a dc-s-iclimeii' - of troops from Havannah , and a Ef ' Vdi'e engagement ensued , in which accordiii « to rep » rt , the latter lost from four to live hundred men . During the

      engr ^ oment three launches filled with offer " ^ and iw . 'n belonging to the iirva * ding party were run down by the steamer Esperanza . aud their occupants were a . i drowned , except those of one of the boats , ¦ who escaped to the shore and were imuv . diately captured . Accounts differ in regard to the object aud destination of the men in tin- so launches , it being stated on the one h = <; id that they were endeavouring to effect an fesape , and on the other that they were onl y cruising from one point of a bay to another , in or . ler to reconnoitre a town with a view of an

      attnrk . The number of men captured w & s about fifty , of whom forty were Americans . They were immediatel y taken to Havannah , aud the next morning wore conveyed by a Strong budy of soldiers over the bay , and in p : uties of twelve wer « all phot , in the presence of 20 , 000 or 30 , 000 spectators . The most barbarous means were employed to hasten aud iiisure their death , aud their corpses were subjected to the greatest indignities . Among those executed is W . S . Crittenden , son of thtf Attorney-General of the United States , an J a colonel of the invading force . The situation of the invading party is not known ; , tiixi . it is presumed that their movements have heea attended with success , from the fact that

      no intelligence has been received from the reiri .-jrcements which have been sent from Savannah , their means of communication having been cut off . There existed very deep feeling at Havannah at the leaving of the Cherokee , but the fear of the government restrained an expression of it . Great impatience Prevailed for the receipt of further news , 'he authorities professed to be uncertain whether Lop ; z himself had landed , but had sent with tbe reinforcements a large number of cots for the wounded . It seemed to be proparing for every contingency . It will be fortunate indeed , in the great diversity of events which are now crowding on , if something does not occur which will involve tbe Spanish authorities in serious difficulties with our own

      government . The poor fellows died bravel y , not a sign or murmur or degree of fear was lrctrayed by any of them . They were led out ten at a time , and shot from behind . One fine looking fellow , who was the last shot , while kneeling awaiting his turn , calmly looked on hia butchered companions , first directing his gaze oa one side and then on the Other , as though he was only a spectator in-8 te «; d of one of the victims , and then turned his head and looked his executioners in the face while they fired . He was shot six times before he foil . After the execution their

      bodies were thrown into hearses by six or eight at a time , and taken away and buried . About 20 , 000 spectators wero assembled to witness this horrid spectacle , many of whom wero the negroes , slaves and free , who possessed themselves of the hats and boots , and portions of tho slothing , and fixing them on stakes , marched through the streets , with curses upon thu 'Fiiabusteros / the ' p irates , ' & c ., accompanied with 'titos' for tbe Queen aud Captain-foneral .

      NEW GRANADA . j REUELLioy J . v AsnoquiA and fopayan . —SPREADING 01 ? Tills INSURRECTIONARY HGVEUEST . Cakthagena , July 24 . A revolution has broken out in Autioquia and Popayan , the two richest provinces in the country , and will soon be all over the country . General Borrerro , at the head of 1 , 000 men , raised the standard of rebellion in the Mi deilin , and since has received large accessions to his forces . The artillery battalion fre .-n this city left to-day , and tbe infantry are tarder marching orders to leave at any hour .

      Ttvi much fear that withdrawing the troops from this , the most important part of the country , will but tend to cause tbe immediate outbreak of revolution here . Tho militia are called out , and the last day or two piles of arms , sabres , and muskets have been carried through the streets to the place of distribution . The fact that General Borrerro , one of the first citizens and soldiers of the republic , aud a true patriot , shonld be at the head of this revolt , vouches that it is no child ' s play , a ferce to amuse the public by a display of apparent patriotism , but a serious endeavour to overthrow the administration .

      Earthquake At Melfi. Later News From Nap...

      EARTHQUAKE AT MELFI . Later news from Naples confirm the fears entertained as to the extent and duration of the earthquake . A medical gentleman writing from the sceue ofthe disaster says : — Tho whole ofthe district of Bari has suffered for miles round ; scarcel y a house in any of the villages in that direction may not be said to be injured . The terror and misery is beyond zuv powers of description . Basilicata has -suffered throughout the whole district . The town of Venosa is nearly destroyed ; the market p lace is one heap of ruins , and you see houses here and there threatening to fall .

      In more than one p lace I observed the earth torn up and showing ragged fissures . In this district the earthquake assumed its most terrible phenomena—viz ., first a perpendicular action and then an oscillatory , Hapola is in ruins ; the cathedral no longer exists . An inhabitant of this town told me the falling ofthe buildings produced such a consternation that for morethanhalf anhour after the event hecouldfind no one who could gi ye a coherent answer to a question . Day and night wnnvn . menand children were tearing away

      , the rains to find their friends and relatives . At Uionero , the inhabitants were employed wheal arrived in digging at the ruins ; half this town is destroyed . I think I never could witness a more painful p icture , and I need not remind you I have attended the wounded after more than one battle , and that is bad enough j but here with the horrors of the very worst of wounds , the crash , you see a mother lamenting a child under a mass of fallen rubbish : a father wildly

      asking where is my family—my wife?—children without parents ; some lamenting over the dying , some weeping over the dead . Gran Dio ! Gran Dio ! The village of Bavile has actually disappeared , I found all about this district large fissures , partly filled up with houses . A man who escaped told me it appeared to him that for a minute he was being tossed about in the air j the earth appeared , a * it were , with a breathing power , and then t-. imc a different movement—a shaking to and I } - ;' . Here some military had arrived to

      exca-Ya ' . <\ There was a strong stench of decomprv-h : •? bodies . This place was really deserted bv ' lis ; inhrvi-itants , at least I saw very few .

      Earthquake At Melfi. Later News From Nap...

      How shall I give you an idea of what was once the town of Melfi ? The cathedral'is down , as are tho college , the churches , the military depot , and 163 houses— -ninety-eig ht are in a falling state , and 108 pronounced as dangerous . The military have arrived , and are working awav . Our medical staff is by no means strong enough . More than a thousand bodies have already been dug up . I need not add , all dead . The wounded are over 600 , and present every variety of flesh wounds and fracture . Tho town offers a strange and awful appearance . Many have fled , others linger about the ruins , as fond friends about the tombs of all they loved best in this world .

      The village of Aseoni has also suffered immensely : thirty-two houses have fallen in . 1 should imagine altogether the loss of life cannot be less than 3 , 000 , including all the sufferers in all the towns , The government has sent soldiers and medical men to assist tho suffering districts .

      France. Paris.—Another Plot Is Said To H...

      FRANCE . Paris . —Another plot is said to have been dis covered , to organise an insurrectional committee in Paris , ready to take arms at a signal to be given by the Central European Committee in London . Several arrests were made on "Wednesday night , and uo to Friday ( yesterday ) morning , 178 persons had been arrested .

      Winding Of The National Land Comas!.-App...

      WINDING OF THE NATIONAL LAND COMAS ! .-APPOINTMENT OP OFFICIAL MANAGER . On Thursday at twelve o ' clock the various candidates , thirteen in number , with their respective counsel , met at the Master's Office , Southamptonbuildings , Chancery-lane . The attendance of Shareholders speedily became so numerous , that an adjournment was ordered to the Vice Chancellor ' s Court , Lincoln ' s Inn . About half-past twelve o ' clock Master Humphrey commenced the proceedings by calling upon the counsel for . Mr . Grey to state his claims . Mr . Chichester , on behalf of Mr . Grey put in a variety of very high testimonials aud affidavits , as to the abilities and high character of his client : dwellin g particularly upon

      [ the testimonials he had received from tbe commissioners appointed by government , for the manner in which he had conducted tbe investigation into the affairs of the Cuffe-street Dunlin , and numerous other savings banks . Mr . Grey had be ^ -n the actuary of tbe Westminster Savings Bank since 1833 . He had also filled other highly responsible situations , but what chiefly entitled him to the notice of tho Master , was the fact that by order of the government he had devoted much tuno to an investigation ofthe affairs of the National Lmd Company , and possessed an acquaintance with the details thereof , to which no other candidate could pretend . Mr . Grey , without soliciting them , had received a large number of votes , representing some thousand pouunds worth of the

      property . Mr . QaH'Tijr ' s Counsel stated , that he was proposed by thirty-seven persons , resident in Manchester , lie produced testimonials of the . hig hest character . His firm had wound up more Companies and done more business than any other in the kingdom . Mr . Tbkquakd ' s Counsel represented , that he possessed the same qualifications as the other candidates , and produced similar testimonials . He objected to Mr . Grey as having been previously connected with the Company , and as being proposed by Mr . Wheeler who was an interested party . He also objected to Mr . Quilter , on the ground that his multiplicity of business would prevent his personally attending to the matter . Similar objections were raised by the majority of the Counsel who followed .

      f Mr . Goociiap ' s Counsel , after producing the aco . istomed affidavits , stated , that he was supported by tbe votes of 175 shareholders . Besides objecting to the previous candidates he objected in prospective to Mr . Angler , as being proposed by the Solicitor and Directors of the Company ; and to Mr . Price , from his having been Manager of the D ink . He also objected to Mr . Earnest , who was proposed by parties who had thrown every obstacle in the way of passing the Bill . In these objections he was supported by the Counsel who followed him . Mr . Earnest ' s Counsel denied that the shareholders who voted for him bad g iven any factious opposition to tbe Bill . He was prepared to act independently , and being also a land surveyor , he possessed peculiar qualifications for the office . He h .- . J received about two hundred votes . The allottees had peculiar interests which needed representation .

      Mr . Price s Counsel , after producing testimonials as to talent and probity , of the very highest description , stated , that Mr . Price ' s connexion with the Bank had not caused him to bean interested party , whilst it gave him opportunities of becoming acquainted with the intricate machinery connected with the working ofthe Company , without which it w . 'is almost impossible that justice could be done to the various interestsinvolved . Although he had but recentl y become a candidate , he had received 750 votes . HThc Mastkr then suggested the idea of two

      official managers being appointed , but the general impression being that it was not desirable , the subject was dropped . Mr . Cbovdall ' s counsel stated that his client had received votes amounting to forty-six shares , from the county of Worcester , and was perfectly independent of all parties . Mr . NoRRis ' s counsel stated he was proposed by > ome shareholders at Dudley , and was in every way qualified for the undertaking . He contrasted Mr , Price ' s evidence , given at the trial of Mr . O'Connor v . Bradshaw , with his present statement relative to the Bank .

      Mr . Harping was nominated as having had great practical experience . Mr . Fellows was proposed as a local manager for the O' Connorville estate , but the Master thought the application premature . Mr . Huiion ' s counsel delivered in high testimonial ' , and stated that 410 shareholders had recorded their votes in his favour . Mr . Ainoer ' s Counsel stated , that they had received tho votes of 2 , 000 shareholders from various parts of the country , and were continually receiving more .

      Ac this stage of the proceedings a dispute was raided as to the genuineness of these signatures , the Master giving it as his opinion , that many were written by the same individual . Warm language was used by some of the counsel relative to the manner in which signatures had been obtained , and after some discussion the Master adjourned tbe sitting until Tuesday , September 23 rd , at eleven o ' clock . Mr . Sweet , as counsel for Mr . Ainger , was ordered to be prepared with affidavits of the signatures he had presented by Tuesday , September 16 tb . The only other candidate was a Mr . Taylor , for whom no one appeared .

      The Fatal Boiler Explosion at Bradford . —A fatal explosion took place on Monday night on the urcinises of Messrs . Crahtree and Shepherd , machine makers , which occasioned the immediate death of two youths . An inquest was held on Tuesday , when the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death , " and condemned the practice of setting boilers , as in this case , some inches out of level . Fibb in Dkurt-laxe . —An extensive fire broke out on Friday night in the premises of Mr . Trotter , KOi'k manufacturer and bookbinder , near the theaere . The premises and their contents were iK-avly consumed .

      I ?

Winding-up of our unfortunate Company , it was by men- chance , and at tbe last moment , discovered that by far the greater part of tbe supposed signatures of shareholders to the proposal of Mr . Ainger ( the nominee of our Directors , and the party put forward by . Mr . Roberts ) ' were not the genuine signatures of the jettons they represented . ' Page after page of the document , bound up in the form of a book , ' were written apparently in the same handwriting and at the same time , ' and the Master very properly adjourned the inquiry until ihe . 2 ord instant , to enabje Mr . Roberts , and those who nominated Mr . Ainger , to explain . ' this grave and most suspicious matter . '

      After the tnauy specimens of conduct of a light character we have received from ' certain parties well known to us all , * from the commencement of this Companj , 1 think this proceeding will hardly excite astonishment , but I think that it should at any rate incite ui to exertions to expose and protest against 'such malpractices , the more especially as it must he of great importance to our interest that those who seek the aid of such manoeuvres fllwuld uot he entrusted with the Winding-up of our flfFsfrs Lee the men ofthe North , who know something of the

      Gu Jldital-L-.-A Orvbii Mother,—Mary Ann...

      GU JLDITAl-l-.-A orvbii Mother , —Mary Ann Johnson , who was remanded on a charge of neglecting her two infant children , and wilfully withholding food and clothing for their proper nourishment , was placed at the tar before Sir George Carroll for further examination . —On the former examination the prisoner stated she was tbe wife of a commercial traveller , doing business for a house in the east end of the town , and at present on his journey throug h the country . It appeared that the prisoner bad indulged in a constant practice of drinking bo far as to render herself incapable of attending to her children ' s most primary wants , and to such an extent had she gone , that , for the week

      during which she had resided at No . 8 , Three-IIerrinff-court , Eed Cross-street , Cripplegate , neither fire nor food had been seen m the house , although the prisoner was constantly getting drunk and fetching gin , which she drank until she was stupified . When found by Mrs . Hunt , a fellow lodger , she was lying in a help less state on a bed without the slightest covering , the infant by her side in the last " stage of starvation , and filthy to otfensiveness , the other child was lying in the room , and not a vestige of food could be found . The good woman gave them some food ; but finding that their cries were continued during the night , Ml'St llunfc went the following morning again to the room , and there saw a more , fearful representation of the scenes she had witnessed tho day before , the infant lying in its filth , in tlie last stage of exhaustion , and the other child eagerly munching a

      portion of a raw potato—the mother lying drunk in bed . By the advice of Mr . Lloyd , a surgeon in the neighbourhood , she caused the mother to be taken into custody , but such was her state during the former examination before Sir George Carroll , that she appeared insensible to what was taking p lace ; and it was perfectly useless to explain the nature of the charge against her . It has since been ascertained that the cruel neglect of the prisoner could not have arisen through poverty , as during tho previous week she had received £ 3 from her husband , nearly all of which had been consumed in drink . On the ' prisoner being now p laced : at the bar she appeared perfectly calm , ami betrayed no emotion proper to the position in which she had placed herself by her unnatural conduct . The prisoner was fully committed to Newgate for trial . The children will in the meantime , be taken care of in St . Giles ' s Cripplegate Workhouse .

      Important to Weavers . —Mr . Joseph Phillips , a silk-woaver , of No . 2 , New Basinghall-streefc , appeared to a summons to answer a complaint of refusing to pay John Godo , a journeyman weaver , in his employ , £ 12 s „ for work done as per contract . —From the complainant ' s statement it appeared that he had engaged to weave forty-five and threequarters yards of velvet , at Ss . 6 d . per yard . He had received £ 6 10 s . on account while the work was in progress of manufacture , and now sued for the remainder . —Mr , Humphries said that a contract had been signed by complainant at the time he undertook the work , in which it was stipulated that complainant should put fifty wires to the inch in weaving the velvet , and deliver five yards every

      week until it was finished . —Mr . Phillips contended there were not fifty wires to the inch , in consequence of which the value of the material was very much deteriorated . —John Hughes , a weaver ' s harness maker , said he had examined tbe velvet in question , and found in some parts there were forty-five wires to the inch , while in others there were only fortylour and forty-three wires to the inch . —Complainant said it was impossible to get in fifty wires to the inch on a cotton ground , and in signing the contract defendant told him ho had never had any made like it before , and had requested him to put fifty wires if he could , but it was only conditionally .

      —Hughes said it was possible to put fifty wires to the inch on a cotton ground , bat it was very difficult . —Bishop , another weaver , said he had made velvet of the samo kind for defendant with fifty wires to the inch , and frequently forty-eight and forty-nine wires to tho inch . —Hu-gbes said the value of the material was lessened by about twopence per yard by reducing the number of wires . —Sir G-. Garroll said the contract was a panning one , and applied to all the work complainant might have done since the execution of it . It was very evident that complainant had not fulfilled all the conditions of that contract , and he must therefore dismiss the

      summons , MAItYLBBONE . —Savage AssAonr . — William Crane was charged with having committed a most savage assault upon Mr . George Chapman , landlord of the Castle Tavern , North-street y Highgate , —Complainant deposed that at a latte hour on the Monday night before the prisoner with his wife and two young women entered the house ; , and called for a pot of porter . The females commenced dancing and singing , and on their being desired by complainant to desist they refused to obey his order , upon which he put oat the gas . Prisoner ' s wife was observed to lay hold of a quart pot which she

      was in the act of secreting , when complaimint . took possession of it , whereupon prisoner seized- another pewter measure which was on the counter , and with it gave witness a Wow on tlie head , thereby inflicting a wound from which blood flowed profusely . —The prisoner , who made no defence , was fined 50 s ., and in default of payment two months in the House of Correction . —The prisoner ' s wile was next charged with being drunk and using obscene language to Hunt 26 & , while he was conveying her husband to the station-house . —The case was proved against her , and she was committed for seven days .

      MARLBOROUGH-STREET .-ThkowingSs'ones . —John Lamb , a lad about ten years of age- was charged with throwing stones in Hyde-park and damaging Mrs . Sidney Smith's carriage . —The constable who had the charge stated that it was-not Mrs . Sidney Smith ' s intention to press the charge , and banded to the magistrate the following note from the boy ' s mother : — " Marlber-street police Corte . —J . Lamb 1 Went to Lady sedney smith and she sade she did not Want the Kaco to go anney foretner as be was so yong and he did not do it on porperes . " The reading o ' f this note caused great laughter in court , The boy vtaa then handed over to the care of his mother .

      Fraud . —Elizabeth Sammon ,. No . 6 , Foley-place , was charged with having been concerned in fraudulently obtaining two pianofortes from Messrs . Rust Stahl , No . 320 , RegenUtreet . —It appeared that a person of gentlemanly appearance called ^ in July last at Messrs .. Rust aud Stahl ' s shop , and hired a pianoforte for a lodger , as he said , a * so much per month . The pianoforte was sent to No , 6 " i EOley-place , where tho personiwho made thebarr gain lived , and who gave the name of Sammon . In a day or two after the same person called ajjain , and saidhewantedto hire another pianoforte for another lodger . A second pianoforte was sent , the value . of each being 3 ft guineas . From , information which Mr .. Rust subsequently obtained ho went in person

      to No . 6 , Foley-place , and saw the prisoner , from whom he demanded the return * of the pianofortes . The prisoner said they were locked up iii one of the rooms , and she dared him to take tliem awayun Mr . Sammon ' s absence . Mr . Rust applied tothn police , and by their aid succeeded in gaining information to the effect that the pianofortes wera in . the hands of a pawnbroker named Clarke , in Long-acre . The prisoner was taken into custody , the individual who came to the shop on both occasions and hired the pianofortes , not being to be met with . — Robert Tilling , carman , proved the delivery of two pianos from Messrs , Rust and Stahl ' s , at Ho . 6 , Foley-place . On the first occasion witness saw Mr . Sammon as well as the female prisoner On

      the second occasion the female prisoner only was present . —William Barnes , painter , had been employed to do work at No . o \ Foley-place . The person who employed and paid him , went by the name of Bousley . The prisoner then represeiued-herself as the housekeeper of Bousley . —Edward Pewryman , assistant to Mr . Barnes , helped to remove , one of the pianofortes from No . § i Foley-place . T ! he piano was taken away in a coal van , but witness did not know where . —Mr . Clarke , pawnbroker , So , Longacre , had known the prisoner for twelvemonths , and had taken articles in pawn from hw . There might have been a piano among them . The ease was remanded at this stage of the prooeedings for a week for the production of the pianos *

      LA . MBETH . ~ Robbkrt . -M . Willisen , a welldressed young man , of rather respectable appearance and who had been , brought from the Mansion House , was placed at the bar on Tuesday charged with receiving a silver pencil case and other articles the property of Mr . Henry Isaacs , from a young woman , named Mary Ann Boreham , knowing that they had been Stolen . —Mr . Isaacs said : About the middle of July last I missed a number of articles from my residence , 159 , Fencburch-strect , and my wife spoke to the young woman Boreham , then in my service , on the subject of their disappearance . On the 15 th Of August the young woman suddenly left my house without apprising us of her intention . From what I had heard , on the Monday following I called on the prisoner at tbo place of business of bis master , Mr . Bvnss , a wine

      merchant , in Langbouriic-chambers , which is nearly opposite to my residence , and where he holds the situation of messenger . On seeing him , I said , " Matthews , do you know anything of my servant girl ? " and his reply was , " I nttor saw tho girl . " I then left , but from what I subsequently heard I went back and saw the prisoner . Addressing him , I said , "Matthews ( for so I addressed him ) you know where the girl is , I am certain ; and if you uO not tell mo 1 shall see Mr . Byass . " The prisoner replied that 1 might , with pleasure ; and twent into Mr . Bynss ' s office , when the prisoner was called in . Mr . Byass , upon being informed of tho circumstance , asked the prisoner what he knew of the affair , upon which the prisoner began to laugh , and his master checked him , remarking that it was no laughing affair , but , on the contrary , a very serious matter , and req ^ ucsiing

      Gu Jldital-L-.-A Orvbii Mother,—Mary Ann...

      nio to put such questions to him-as I might think nroper . 1 then said , " Did-you ever see the girl V ' and he replied , "No . " I then asked if she had ever given him anything , and- he replied that she had aiven him an apple . I then said , " I have lost such a description of articles . as are likely to come into the possession of such a person as you , " and produced a card containing the list of the things , and stated what a part of them were . The prisoner then said , " I have got the slippers ; they were given to me by a young woman of the name of Hannah , a servant to Mr . Swift . " I asKed him his address , and he said , 8 , Church-street , Kennington , but added that he also lived at Banscomb-crescent , TTninn . row . Clapham , for he had hardly removed .

      I then said I shall take you into custody for having in your possession things that have been stolen from me and I did take him into custody . At the station house he was searched , and a cigar case was found in his breast ; pocket belonging to me . I have since slippers , found at tbe lodgings of the prisoner , and also a gold pin found on a young woman at Camberwell , to whom the prisoner had given it , and I identify all as my property . On the 27 th of August I received information that the girl was oiscovered drowned in a pond near Brixton , about a mile and a half from the prisoner's lodging , and a

      place where she had never , he ( Mr . Isaacs ) was convinced , been before . The shawl , apron , shoes , and bonnet produced , were those worn by the girl when she left my house on tho 15 th August , and the pin , pencil-case , and some other articles I nave spoken of , were stolen from a small iron safe . — Harriet Simmonds , a good-looking young woman , to whom the prisoner was paying his addresses deposed to his having presented her with the gold pin produced , and also a knife ; both of which had been stolen from Mr . Isaacs' house . —Remanded . —The prisoner was admitted to bail , Wo securities having been bound in £ 100 each .

      Mi'stbkious Case . —Mr . Henry Isaacs , officer to the committee of bankers , accompanied by a decent-looking countryman , who appeared much affected , waited on the magistrate ( Mr * . Elliott , J nnd requested his advice and assistance under the following extraordinary and somewhat suspicious circumstances : —Mr . Isaacs stated that on the 15 th of August a girl of fifteen years of age , who had been in his service for three years and six weeks , had disappeared from his house , and though he had made every exertion to discover her he had not been able to obtain the slightest intelligence about her until tbe 25 th , when , in answer to a letter he had written to Mr . Carter , one of the coroners for Surrey , he received a communication to the effect

      that on the 23 rd he held an inquest on the body of a young woman somewhat answering her description . Previous to this , he ( Mr . Isaacs ) had , in the course of the inquiry , learned sufficient to satisfy him that a young man named Willlsen , and who held a situation as a messenger in a merchant ' s offlce in his neighbourhood , had something to do with her disappearance , and he in consequence questioned him very closely on the subject , but he denied all knowledge as to what bad become of her . On examining his person and lodgings hey however , found several articles , such as a silver pencil ease , a pair of worked slippers , and other articles belonging to him ( Mr . Isaac ? , ) and those , he said , tbo girl had made him a present of . He

      ( applicant , ) however , took him iato custody on a charge of receiving those articles knowing them to have been stolen , and he at present stood remanded by the Lord Mayor on that charge . At the time of his remand no tidings had been discovered of the unfortunate girl , so that the charge merely amounted t » receiving the articles he had mentioned . On tho receipt of Mr . Carter , the coroner s note , her Mr . Isaacs , went to the stationhouse at Brixton , and upon being shown the apparel of the young woman on whose body the in quest had been held , he at once recognised them as the clothes of his late servant . From inquiries he made , ho found that the body of the girl had been found in a pond of water in a brickfield' at

      Brixton , on the 20 th , that an iuquest had been-held at the White Horse public-house , Brixton-road , on the 23 rd , when the jury returned an open verdict of " Found drowned . "—Mr . Elliott : Were there any marks of violence on tho body ?—Mr . Isaacs i None , Sir , I believe , but it appeared to have-been the opinion of tho jurors , from its decomposed state , that the body must have been a considerable time in the water , whereas only five days elapsed from her leaving my residence until tbe time when she was found . Tbo jurors were also of opinion that the deceased was twenty-five years of age , though in reality she was-not sixteen . I beg also to mention to your worshi p , that it is my impression that ) tho poor girl had never before seen in the

      neighbourhood of Brixton j ; and I think that she must have been tafcen there . Besides , the place in which she was found renders the case very suspicion , as she must have passed three ponds in which she might havo committed suicide if such had been her intention . Besides , I havo found that the ; young man , Willisen , had been in the habit of visiting her at my house ,, without the knowledge of my family , and they had been seen together on the evening before she left my nouso . I also wish to mention that a gold pin ,. belonging to me , and which the deceased gave to the young man , I found in the possession of a young woman in the vicinity of Brixton , whom he was courting , and to

      whom ba-had g iven it as a present . —Mr . Elliott : What is it you wish me to do-in the matter ?—Mr . Isaacs : This poor man , the father of the girl , has come forty miles out of Essex-,. determined to have justice dona in the case , ami it is his wish to have the body exhumed and examined ,, but one of the jurors told'me that it would cost three guineas to do so . —Miv Elliott : If the party was charged before me , I should have the power to cause an exnminationofthe body ; but I-should advise you to await . the answer of tho coroner toyour last letter and hear what he recommends . —Mr . Isaacs said he should do so , and having thanked . his worship for the attention with which ho had heard him , left the court with the afflicted father ofthe

      unfortunate girl .. C LE RKENWELL . —DesebrateRemedt . —Christopher Kay ton , a shabby-looking fellow , who was described in- the po'ice-shect as . a chasejy residing at 2 , Margaret-place , Margaret-street , Clerkenwell , was put at the bar , before Mr . D'Byncourt , charged with 'having wilfully ^ set fii'e to his house . — It appearedtfrom the evidence of Archer and Fisher , police-officers , that , at about twelve o ' clock on Tuesday night their attention was attracted by loud cries of- "Fire" in Margaret-street \ . and on proceeding , to the prisoner ' s-house , 2 ; Margaretplace , ; theyv found smoke and flames issuing from the windows , and tlie neighbourhood inth & greatest

      alarm and confusion . They , burst into the house , and on entering the parlour' they discovered tho prisoner sitting coolly at a table , partaking of bread and cheese and table beer , while the bed and parts of tha house were burning . The-floor was covered with iucifer matches , which had evidently been placed there in order to increase tlie flames . Engines arrived on the spot in about a quarter of an hour after the discovery ofithe fire , and . the flames were extinguished . The prisoner said it- was his own bousey . he set fire to it . to kill the bugs ,. and he had a right to do so . —The prisoner in * his- defence repeated that he set fire to the honse to kill the bugs . —He was remandedifor a week ..

With assistance he took him to the station-house , where , on being examined , a deep wound was found in his arm , from which he bled profusely , and he became quite insensible . A surgeon was sent for , who dressed the wound , and every proper attention wis affvrded him until brought to * this court . He would give no account of himself .. On searching

      him a penknife was round in his nuckot covered with blood , and on being restored to . his senses he was much aftveted , audi said he had inflicted tho wound with a penknife . —Mr .

      streefy . by the officers of the society and tlie police * on Tuesday evening , when two . cavt-loads of prints , books , copper-plates , -s tereotype , unbound Mtei' « press , ifcc , were taken away . The defendant ., Dugdale , was one of the oldeso offenders of this class , having been repeatedly convicted and punished ; but , Oil the last occasion of his apprehension , he gave the society an undertaking that he WOUld wholl y abandon such infamous traffic if further proceedings against him were suspended—a stipulation which was then agreed to , although never , on his part , complied with . It was believed that the extent of the stock , which they had now been able to seize , would go far to break up his tvade . — Sergeant Cbadwick , 2 F division , deposed that he

      accompanied Mr . Neale to tbe house of tbe defendant at 37 , Holyweli-street , at about half-past five on Tuesday afternoon . Their approach was witnessed by a man named Sharp , in the defendant 8 service , who had been himself convicted of a similar offence , and the door was consequently slammed and fastened against them . After some delay the defendant appeared at the door and admitted them , saying , " Now , Cbadwick , you may come in . " Witness commenced a . search downstairs , and . found , among other things , the two books produced , which had been partly burnt , one Of them in the parlour and tbe other in tbe kitchen fireplace . The witness described the nature of other publications which were obviously intended

      for sale , and produced a copper-p late of an inde-, cent character . The defendant , in reference tu I some of the books which had been seized , said that they wero daily advertised in tbe newspapers , and COUld not , therefore , be regarded as indecent . Others were sold at public auctions , and one , entitled Harriet Wilton , having been made the subject of a public trial many years ago , was not deemed censurable enough to entitle the complainants to a verdict . As for tbo prints , he presumed that the engraving of a nude figure could not be regarded as indecentj or the proprietors of the 'Illustrated London News , " as well as the fashionable printsellers at the West End , might be as fairly indicted for printing copies of ( he Grecian Slave at the Great Exhibition , which mig ht now be aeen in nearly every shop window , with many other similar engravings . Mr . Henry remarked , ; that

      these were questions for the consideration of a jury . It seemed evident that the seizure of stock had been sufficiently extensive to enable the society to proceed against him at the sessions , and he would be accordingly committed for trial . The defendant was required to enter , into- hia own re . cognizances in £ 150 , and provide two sureties oi £ 100 each , with twenty-four hours' notice of bail . Henry May , in the service of another printseller in Holywell-streefc , named Winn ( both of whom had been convicted of similar offences , ) was fined £ 5 , or committed for two months in default , for having assaulted and obstructed one of tho porters of the Society for the-Suppression of Vice while he was engaged in the seizure at Dugdale ' s . ( It appeared that the officers were hooted , and in some instances assaulted , by a mob of about fifty persons , who had assembled on the occasion . )

      WORSHIP-STREET . — "Dkukk and Disoa-BERir . "—Win . Johnson , as the name was entered on the charge sheet , an elderly person of military appearance , who described himself as having besu a cavalry officer , was stated to be a director of one of the most important mercantile companies in the city , and is known to be a- gentleman of extensive property at Stoke Nowington , was placed before Mr . SammilL upon tbo threefold charge of being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself , assaulting an officer in the executioa of his duty , and conducting himself in a- riotous- and improper manner while in custody at the station house . —W . Fitzpatriek , a policeman : About two o ' clock on last Monday afternoon I was on duty in

      Myrtlestreet , Hoxton , when I saw the ^ delendaafcon horseback , riding towards Hoxton church . He was riding in a most peculiar position ,, hie head . and shoulders leaning back in such a- manner that his head very nearly touched the animal's tail . He was decidedly drunk , and had not tbe slightest control over his-horso . A man who- knew the defendant stopped'the horse , and , addressing the > defendant , said "'S » y I think you ha * better , stsp and recover yourself , " and I also advised him to- ao so . The defendant ,-however , by that time : had raised himself upright ,, and went on , but very soon got into the same dangerous position again , and-1-there fore-ran forward to . take him into-custody ,, but before I could do so he fell clear off bis horse ,, but

      still held tight by- the reins . I sprang-forwards to hold the horse , while some other person raised the defendant up , andl-then took him tc / the statiomiu ; Robert-street ; but as soon as ho got there he called : . the inspector and sergeant on duty a set of scamps , ipoltroons , and beggars , ; and having tried to force ; iiis way out of tbe station , struck me on my . breast , ; but not with such severity as to hurt me . He then [ exclaimed tbat he was acquainted with Colonel jlJowan , who also knew , him , and that he would ihave the whole ofsus dismissed and trounce us . i—Several policemen deposed to the- riotous conduct of the prisoner , who abused ,. struck aty and kicked them when in their custody . — When asked if he wished to say anything , . the

      defendant , with great vehemence of language and manner , totally denied that there was aivy . ioundation whatever for the charge , and declared'that the indications of intoxication which presented themselves to the witnesses ^ vere occasioned by = a previous-accidental fall fvoui his horse , and obliged him at times to adopt a recumbent position when on horseback . He also declared that he had partaken of no intoxicating beverage whatever on that day , and complained severely , of the treatmeiit . Jhe had experienced from the police at the station ,, who coerced him in every possible way , and treated-him like a , beast or mad do * . He added that there-were at least half-a-dozen gentlemen waiting outside the station to give evidence in his favour , and that-the

      police' had refused access-io them . In partial- coroboration of his statement ; , he called Jame 3 .-.-Bicks , his coachman and groora , ., who described his master as "Squire Johnson , " and said—My nmator . Ieft borne , on Monday about ' two- o ' clock , and I gave him hia horse . _ v I saw no difference in his gensral ap ? pearance ; his manner waa the samo a a * - usual ! After he had ridden off I . saw no more of himiuntil he was-attne station , when he was " pretty .-middling excited . " He uttered some words at the station , but I don't recollect-what , as my meaiory is bad aad he speaks quickly , Thu defendant-. sometimes sits ' very much ba « k in the saddle ,- bui-I never knew hitn to fall off before . —Mr . William Hodge ; -, an undertaker in " . Myrtle-street , stated :

      About two o ' clock on Monday I was coming . out of my door , when I saw tb > defendant' riding . past my house . Ho was on horseback , lying flatonithe back ofthe horse , and his head touching she tail . I went'to the side ofthe horse , shook defendant iby the leg ,-, aiid roused him up ,, and asked hinvtO sit up , which he managed tod © for a moment , ; Jout . as soon p . a . the horse moved he fell back agaicj , I ibllo . wed .-him to the corner of Robert-street , he-being still in the same recumbent position , but on , reaching there I saw him fall ; from the off-side . > of . his horse-,. I ran to his assistance to help him-, up , . and saw he was thoroughly drunk . I helped the policeman to 4 ake him to the station , for fear some ,

      accident should happen to him ,, but when he got there he turned obstinate , tried to get out , and-abused them all scandalously . Great praise was due to the police for their forbearance to the defendant , who said nothing about any previous falljsjvhile the fall that I saw him sustain was a very heavy ono . — Mr . Daniel Reid , a master baker , confirmed the last witness in almost identical terms . —Mr .- Hammill having reprimanded the prisoner , sent .-him to tho House of Correction for seven days for assaulting tlis officer in the execution of his duty , and also sentenced him to a further term of seven- days for his indecent and outrageous conduct while- in the station house . — -The defendant looked astounded at

      the decision , and was-apparently about to offer some observations , but was at once removed by the gaoies . TdIAMES . —A Qisa . of SnAurEns .. —W ..
