      Kosoat.— This Cnart Resumed Its Sittings...

      Kosoat . — This cnart resumed its sittings to day , pursnant to the adjournment from the last session . Xlie court was opened by the Right Honourable the Lord 3 Iavor , the Recorder , Alderman Sir C . Marshall and rarehroihtr , the Sheriff , Deputy Sheriffs , and the other uity authorities . Cauetrr at Sea . —Joseph Heaviside surrendered to answer an indictment chatting fcim with a misdemeanor from the statement of tlie learned counsel for the prosecution and the eudcuce that was adduced , it appeared that the defendant was the mate of a vessel called the Snnez , and the oS & nee with which he was charged iuts having committed a series of assaults upon a lad named Julia Hu . igard , who was au appreatice on . hoard the

      vtsseh According to the statement ofthe prosecutor , a raihcr weakly hut intelligent boy , he sailed frora Shields on a voyage to Alexandria , with coa ' s , and when they wvre near Gibraltar the defendtut beat him severely with a rope ' s end , and when they were in the harbour of Alexandria , aud the coals were being discharged , he was set to trim the lighter , that is sho vel the coals level as they were discharged from the vessel , and because he was not ttioug enough to « 5 o it , he said the mate pelted him with iiige pieces of coal , which made mrauds in botli his legs , -and that thecapt-iin put hluestone into the wouuds ; and he also * aid that after this , aud white his legs were still very bad the mate u « ed to jeer him , and tell him to go aft aud " get lus Milestone . " He likewise said that because ha coufd cot learn the compass , the defendant used

      sometimes to give him a couple ofdazen blows on the hand with a shoe , which made his hands very sore , aud caused JunsjA to come oh his wrists . The jury returned a verdict of > ot G uilty . Mr . Payne applied to have the defendant held to bail to answer any other indictment fiat might be preferred against hiro . He had committed a great many other assaults upon the boy besides those which formed the subject of tlie present indictment . Mr . Clarkson ohjecied to thus , as the vessel was about to sail . lie said the captain of the Xunez was ready to cancel the boy ' s identurts , and this would effectually prevent the pai tics irom coming into collision in future . The mother of the complainant having consented to this course , the indentures were c ^ nielled , and the defendant was then discbatred .

      As Old Offender . —Eliza Cross , an old woman on the verge of three score , was convicted of stealing half a flitch of bacon , die property of Afters . Hughes and Co . T . hc prisoner for a long time has lived by theft or ia prison , thinking that her age and infirmity were shields ssriust transportation . The court sentenced her to hard labour for one year . Tbesdam . —SrCAXrisc Bask Xotts . —Charles Bowen , 22 , waiter , George hake , 22 , waiter , were indicted for stealing a Bank of JtagLiud note of the value of £ 50 , and -var ious other notes , altogether of the value of £ 150 , the moneys of the Kev . William Price Lewis , and John Ban-« ocV , 22 , waiter , and George Bates , 20 , jeweller , were indicted for feloniously receiving the money , well knowing it had been stolen . This case occupied the court for

      several hoars , during which period a great number of witm-ises were examined , but the character ofthe charge -will be much better understood in the form of a narrative . It seems that the prisoners Lake and Bowen n ere engaged as waiters at the Trafalgar Hotel , Charingcross , the former having been employed for nine months , and the latter for as many weeks , at the period the robbery was coinmittid , which was on the 2 Sih « . « f Xoreaiuer of last year . At that time the prosecutor , who is a clergyman , residing in Wales , was staying at the hotel , aud on the day in question he went to the bankii . g-hoase of Messrs . Glyn , Hallifax , and Co .. and received c ! :: < nge for 3 tcheck for £ 150 , obtaining in payment one note for £ 50 , and the remainder in notes for £ 10 aud £ 5 each . Tlie prosecutor , opon his return

      to thehotd , rolled up the notes , and placed them in his portmanteau , aud he . then wtut out , and on his return at night he discovered that his portmanteau had been -opened , and tliat the whole Of the money had been abstracted . The next morning tlie prosecutor gave information of his loss , hut for some time no cine was obtained tj the perpetrators of the robbery . The numbers and dates of the stolen notes weic , of course , readily and correctly obtained from the banking-house , and the inquiries which were set on foot led to such results as eventually brought the charge home to the prisoners . The " evidence against the parties charged as principals , nan . ely , Lake and Bowen , was to tbe following effect : —It appeared that on the night the robbsi y was committed , Bowen , contrary to the

      regulations of the hotel , went out about eight o ' clock , and did not return all nig ht : and when Talbot , the head - waiter at the hotel , saw him in the morning , bisappear--auct ; induced him to believe he had been out all night , and oahis challenging hhn with it he denied the fact , and said that he was ill . It " sas shortly afterwards ascertained tliat the prisoner Bancock had been dealing with somesiol ; n notes , aud as the prisoner Bowen was known to be on friendly terras with him , and had shortly before xccommeuded him to be employed as an extra waiter at the Trafalgar Hotel , these circamstaaces , coupled nitb other facts , led to the apprehension of Bowen , and immediately upon tlie step being taken , it was observed that the pri-ouc-r Like appeared to be in a very excited state , audappartntiv quite incapable of attending to business ,

      aud at length Talbot , tlie chief water , was induced to tell him that he believed from his conduct that he was concerned in the robbery , upon which Lake at once admitted that he was , and told a very singular story as to his share of the transaction . Tho story of Lake was that he had been drawn into it by " Charley , " Meaning the prisoner Bowen , and that it was hhn who had first formed the plan to rob Mr . Lewis , and that he had -obtaiuta a key for the purpose of opening his portmanteau , aud that shortly before he held op a iejr , and said , " 1 have tried this little gentleman , ana it fits Hr . Lewis ' s portmanteau . " lie went on to say that on the day of the rubbery , the 2 Sth of November , i ' owea said that when the head waiter went down to tea thsy would go and get tlie notes . Accordingly when this

      took phice they both went up together to Mr . Lewis ' s room , aud the prisoner Bowen gave him the key , andioid him to go in and get the money , aud he said , he would wait otnvide , andif he heard any aoi-e he was to get oui <* f the window aud walk along the balcony , and so get a « av . He said that he then went into the room , opened tlie box , and took out the roll of notes , and he then gave them to Bowen , who shortly afterwards joined him in one of the parlours , and told him that he had got £ 70 , and that there would he £ 35 a piece for them . Ue then . said that upon hearing this he was very much ahtnned , ami wanted to take the money to the head waiter , and toil hitn that he had found it on the mat close to Hr . Lettish door , hut that Bowen told him he should sot do that , and that he m-jst not let the bead waiter know every thing . Bowen then asked him - to lend him soue money to pay for a rah to go to London-briiLre to scs someone , who , he said , would give

      Mia * "hard cash" for the notes , and he accordingly gave hiiii fourfihiUuigSjaaditwasaixsngid that fiowen should go out at eight oVteek , and thatSe should tfcea proceed to the City for the purpose of . getting the cash . The next morning JSawen t-Ju hhn that he bad taken the l-otes to - " Bob Snow , " at the Adelaide Dutel , London-bridge and that he was to go there to get his share . Accordingly he went there on the Sunday folloiviig to the hotel , where he saw a man who said that Snow had gone away with the money . In addition to this statement of Lake , it was jiruvcd Utst when i ! o « eu was appreheaded by Inspector -Otway he asked if Lake was iu custody , and on Ins being told that he wa ? , he iaid that Lake had committed the tolibwy . auc that he told hitn there was-orriy £ 70 , and if j nore money had beta taken he must haze kept thereat himself . The jury returned a J-erdietof gt * 3 ty againstall tlie prisoners . The Recorder sentenced iUe prisoner BjKen to be transported for fifteen years , Lake for tea 2 " iar # , and BsniucV and Bates for fourteen vears .

Bodkin said he had an application to xaake regarding tlie case of a prisoner who was at pre-« Mt in the gaol of Newgate uader three charges of murder . IHs learned frUnd Mr . Jcrvis was retained en U-h-tfof the prisoavr , and with his concurrence he had ta apply that the trial should be postponed to the next se 3 .-ioa . The Chief Karon inquired whether any legal j a sKin was preheat on beh df of the accused . Mr . Bodkin Riidthathe made the application entirely witli the concurrence of his friend , Mr . Lewie , and the prisoner ' s soliritor was also priKnt , and he was ready to consent to

      lau adjournment . The ground for the postponement was , thst there had not been sufficient opportunity topiepare tha inisuncr * s defence . The Attoniey-Gcneral , who wira ' -d conduct the prosecution , had been communicated with , and he was instructed that he did not oppose the pcKtihrneiuci . t . The Chief Baron 4 sked if tlie court was to andi-tttinJ th :. t the ground upon which the postponement was abfceii was . that the prisoner was not prepared ¦ wjih his dtf .: > ce ! Jlr . Bodkin said , certainly , that was the ground « f ti : e application . The Ciiief Baron having h « Jda biirl * ronsnltation with Jlr .

Tlie prisoner would lemain in custody , and the recognizances of the witnesses would hi respited until the next session .

      the month of Jfay in last year , -about which time the neighbourhood of the Borough of Southwark was thrown into considerable alarm and-excitement by the circumstance of a number of threatening . Utters being sent , to different parties , and which contained inenaces of the most diabolical description ^ The prosecutor in the present instance ; was * respectable tradesman , who had received a letter on the 18 th of May , in which a threat was made to murder him and bum his house ; and after a good deal of investi gation there appeared so " strong a reason for belie ving that the prisoner was the writer of that letter , that the present indictment had been preferred against him . The following evidence was then

      adduced : —Mr . Craster Humble deposed that he was a hop merchant , and carried on his business at No . 82 , - Highstreet , Southwark . On the 18 th of May he found the letter ( produced ) on his desk . At that time John KUlerby , a brother of the prisoner , was in his service . He placed the letter in the hands of the police . —Edward John Tyler deposed that he was a printer , in the employ of Messrs . Lewis and Co .,. of Finch-lane , Cornhill . The prisoner was an apprentice to Mr . Lewis . He believed the letter iu question to be the handwriting of the prisoner . —Sergeant Kendall produced the letter referred to , and likewise the song that had been written by the prisoner . The letter was then read . It was addressed to Mr . Craster Humble , and its contents were —•

      ' Sir—I merely send you this to put you on your guard , and to warn yon that if you keep John Killerby iuyour service , out of revenge I will murder one of your children , 1 have never failed yet . " The letter concluded with abuse of Mr . Humble in very foul language , and a threat to murder htm , and was signed , "Mr . Whateveryou-like ; 1 defy you , sir . " Mr . Clarkson was about to address the jury ou behalf of the prisoner , when he was interrupted b y Chief Baron Pollock , who intimated his opinion that there was not sufficient evidence against the prisoner to call upon him for a defence . The jury , after a short deliberation , returned a verdict of Not Guilty . Mr . Bodkin then said there were two other indictments against the prisoner , imputing to him the offence of attempting to administer poison , in one

      instance to the wife ofthe prosecutor iu the former case , and in the other to a little girl eight years of age . The poison , which consisted of a quantity of oxalic acid , was sent , in both instances , in letters , and he was bound to state , that he could not carry the evidence as to the handwriting any further than in the last case , and the only additional fact he could show was , that the father of the prisoner was in the habit of using oxalic acid in his business , and the prisoner had opportunities of having access to it . The Lord Chief Barou said ho had not had an opportunity of looking at the depositions in these cases , hut , from the statement of the learned counsel , it appeared that they differed very materially from the former one . It would , therefore , be advisable that they should have

      an opportunity of seeing what the facts were , before they gave au opinion as to the propriety of proceeding with the other indictments . Mr . Clarkson said the case had stood over for two or three sessions , and there had been ample opportunity of bringing forward evidence to identify the handwriting of the prisoner . He applied to tbe court to allow tho prisoner to be set at liberty under the same bail , and he would be ready to attend on any future occasion if he should be required to do so . Mr . Bodkin had no ejection , to this course , and he suggested that the disposal of the otber indictments should be postponed until the next session . The Court said they did not see any objection to this course , and the prisoner was thereupon discharged .

      Chabge of Aksoh . —George John Ford , 35 , printer , was indicted for feloniously setting fire to certain premises ia his occupation , with attempt to defraud the Imperial Insurance Company . The particulars of this charge have keen recently laid before our readers . The jury , after deliberating for about an hour , returned a verdict of not guilty . The prisoner was then arraigned upon another indictment , charging htm with setting fire to the premises of Mr . Allen , the principal witness in the former case . Mr . Clarkson said that after the fall inquiry that had just been concluded , he should not , as the facts would Be precisely the same , occupy the time ofthe court by offering any evidence . The company for whom heand his learned friend had the honour to appear felt it to be their duty toinstitute the present inquiry ; but after the deliberate decision come to by the jury , they considered they ought not to proceed any further . A verdict of not guilty was accordingly returned .

      Theft . —Mary AnnSye and Mary "Wilson were indicted for stealing a quantity of nine and brandy , theproperty of Edwin Bryant , their master . Both prisoners were pronounced guilty . Judgment * n Nye , nine months ' imprisonment with hard labour , and on Wilson , six months . Stealing an Oil Paistisg . —Philip Wetzner , a German , aged 33 , wa * indicted for stealing an oil painting and frame , value £ 3 , the property of Mr . J . Annis , a pawnbroker in the City . The jury declared him guilty . The sentence was transportation for ten years .

      Thcesdat . —The Basing Kobbekt at Cambekwem .. —Thomas Smith and Ana Jones were charged , the first with robbery accompanied with violence on Thomas Phillips , and stealing from him a bank note , value £ 10 , his property ; and the second with receiving the same , well knowing it t « have been stolen . The robbery was committed on December 14 th , at the house of Mr . Hamblin , of Catherine-place , Carnberwell , where Mrs . Phillips , the lady in question , was on a visit . The case has been fully reported in this paper . On the prisoner ' s being asked | what they had to say in answer to the charge , Jones declared that she was innocent of any criminal intention . She was the wife of the other prisoner , and it was her duty to go and get the note changed when she was sent . The jury after consulting for some time , found Smith guilty . A verdict of Not Guilty was returned in favour of the'female prisoner . The former was then 6 en » tenced to be transported beyond the seas for the term of his natural life .

      I Middlesex Sessions. Before The Assista...

      I MIDDLESEX SESSIONS . Before the Assistant Judge ( Mr . Sergeant Adams ) , and a Beach of Magistrates . The January quarter sessions of the peace commenced on Wednesday , at the Sessions House , Clerkenwell-green . The calendar was rather heavy , containing the names of 115 prisoners for trial , 110 of whom were committed for Monies of the ordinary character . —Thomas Miller , aged . eight years , and Henry Howley , aged fifteen years , were convicted for stealing a wooden till , and the sum of £ 1 Us . € Jd ., and two canvas bags , the propert" * of Andrew Glass . Tha Learned Judge , in passing sentence , alluded to the correspondence that had taken place between tlie Secretary of State for 'Jie Home Department and himself in his

      judicial capacity , relative to the class of juvenile offenders proper to be sent to Parkhurst Prison , in the Isle of Wight The prisoners now before the court were fit subjects for its walls , but Sir J . Graham had ruled otherwise . These children were just such as would be benefited by its wholesome discipline , and had he the power to send them there , thc-y would be placed in a position to earn their own livelihood and to become respectable members of society . By the present regulations the one was too young , and the offence of neither , of itself , warranted transportation , without which he had no power to send to Parkhurst . But he would in the present instance , notwithstanding the age of the parties , sentence them to transportation for seven years , and the government must exercise their own discretion as to sending them to Parkhurst or not .

      MANSION-HOUSE . Monday . —The "Stags " . —A man named Robert Thompson , who was known in the neighbourhood of " Sfcig-allej"' iu Bartholomew-lane , at the time ot the tailway fever , was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of a soliceaKn , charged with having stolen a banker's receipt for money on account of a rattway company . Mr . James Hitchin , of Newington-terrace , Brunswickplace , Dover-road , stated that he was a gentleman out of business , and that to the best of his recollection , on the l" ; hof September jast , at about one tfclock , the prisoner came to hhn at the HaU of Commerce , to which he was a subscriber , and had him called out . The prisoner said tliat he came from Mr . Gibbons , who was known to witness , for the banker ' s receipt lor the deposits on forty shares in the British and Irish Union Railway . The deposits were £ 3 per share , amounting in the whole to £ 120 . "Witness DeHeving that the prison ^ was duly authorised to Jl r

      to receive the document ^ went Brown , of Thw . ldneedle-street , pvocured the receipt , and handed it to the prisoner , who waited for him outside the HaU of Commerce , and stated , upon being put - in possession of it , that he had to go as far as Westminster , and would return in an hour or an hour and a half . . Witness waited in anxious expectation , until five o ' clock , bat the prisoner never returned , and witness then went to the house of Mr . Gibbons , ef Collet-place , at the East tvd , oil and colour manufacturer , to ascertain what could b V the cause of the delay . Mr . Gibbons said tliat he bad nei . tfier given the prisoner authority to get the banker ' s rec ' -eipt , nor even seen the prisoner at all upon the subject . The prisoner disappeared altogether for some time , but nvtness , determined to punish so flagrant a violation of honest j and good faith , never dropped the pursuit until he succeeded in apprehending the stag . The prisoner wait remanded .

      Wta . vESBAr . —The Guabdians of the Poob . —Nobtb Conduct of the Lord Mator . —Three young women , named Ann Carter , Joanna Smith , aud JaneTuraer , werO brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having broken a lamp opposite to the City of London Union in Cannon-street . Tho policeman who took the women into custody stated , that at half-past eight o ' clock on the preceding night he saw them throw stones at a lamp and break it . The defendants , upon bcing ] sererally questioned by the Lord Mayor , said they had been long in the habit of working hard with a laundress who had latelyleft tbat business , and whose retirement put them completely out of work , and took from them the means of

      support . They declared that they were well able to earn their own bread , and all they required was the empkyraent ; tliat they walked about tlie streets exhausted mid hungry , aud had , after having in vain attempted to obtain assistance at the Wast Loudon Union , applied to the house in Cannou-sireet , but were told by the person who attended at the door that they could not sec the superintendent or overseer , by whom their necessities might be relieved ; and that , despairing of help of any kind , tiiey committed the offence in ord ti tbat they might gut food , although they knew that they would get punishment along with it . The Lord Mayor asked whether the defendants had made application iZbM than oace at the West lyfld imiojj for relief ,

      Ar00804

      and to what parishes they belonged ? One of the defendants said that she had been born in the very neighbaurkdod of the City of London union , aud that her parents , wwe dead . , and the other twe stated that they camefrom Ireland , but had no friends there , and if they were sent back to that country , they would be just as destitute as they were here , with the additional evil of having much smaller chance of being employed , One of the gills said they had been told , upon calling yesterday morning at the West London Union to beg relief , that they must call again at three o ' clock , and upon calling at three , they were told tbey must call again at five , and upon caUiiigat five , they were told they must call again at ten in the morning . The Lord Mayor : And you are willing to work ! The defendants : Certainly ; we are well able and willing , but what are we to do ? We can't

      perish in the streets , gentlemen . The Lord Mayor said to Alderman Farebrother , who sat with him and who has often in the same place expressed his hearty condemnation of the treatment to which persons who had no vice but poverty to be upbraided with were subjected , that it was most difficult for a magistrate with any heart at all to restrain his indignation at hearing such statements , for which he believed there was unquestionable foundation . It was quite evident that the three young women before him were not such persons as should be sent either to a prison or a workhouse . He believed they were able to work , and he had no reason to doubt their willingness , but all si gnified nothing . At the places appointed for dispensing relief to those who were sinking under want and fatigue , there were kept porters who , like bull-dogs , growled and snarled at their

      appearance , aud whose principal recommendation was doubtless their capability of terrifying the deserving objects of public sympathy . — Alderman Farebrother said he fully agreed with tbe Lord Mayor in bis lordshi p ' s observations upon the hard treatment to which tho poor were exposed , and he reprobated the palpable neglect by Which their well-founded claims and demands upon parochial bounty were met . The case before the Lord Mayor seemed to be one calculated to impress npon any humane officer the necessity of making inquiry into its merits in a peculiar manner , and of affording protection and refuge until the result of such inquiry should be ascertained . He ( Alderman Farebrother ) thought it would he advisable to issue a summons to the superintendent or overseer of the West London Union to attend Guildhall Police-court , in which district the house

      was situated , to aaswer to the complaint . —The Lord Mayor : I shall send a summons ) jto him to attend here , for I have no idea of transferring a case of this kind to an office in which a magistrate , with views wholly at variance with mine upon so important a subject , may sit to abjudicate . I found occasion tbe other day to make some observations upon the manner iu which the affairs of the City of London Union have been transacted , lo the utter carelessness aud contempt which seemed to prevail amongst those in power , when investigation should take , place into the alleged condition and claims of applicants . I have received a letter from the board of guardians , professing to be

      an answer to these observations ; but it is no answer at alL Of that , however , hereafter . I have now only to declare that nothing whatever shall either coax or intimidate me from the performance of such a duty as the conduct I every day see proofs of , in the treatment of the poor , imposes upon me in my capacity as chief magistrate of this city . —Alderman Farebrother : I fully agree with you in the expression of these sentiments . We unfortunately see , in our experience as magistrates , afflicting instances of the punishment of poverty as a crime . The &« thvee g ' wls appear to me to he strongly entitled to our compassion , and the keeper of the Giltspur-street Compter will receive directions to take care of them until the necessary inquiries shall have becuroade .

      MARLBOROUGH-STREBT . Mondat . —Captdbe of Gamblers . —Robert Woodashdown , John Hart alios Bullock , John Thompson « Kos Weeks , —Lawrcn olt ' oa Lawrence , John Relasco , F . Neine , George Sampson , John Mason , Frederick Ralph , and Lewis Gerhard were brought before Mr . Maltby , charged by the police with being gamblers , and with having been found in a common gambling-house , No . 17 , Castle-street , Leicester-square . The house in question is in appearance a coffee-house . The lower room is used as a blind , and the upper rooms are used for gaming purposes . The visit on Saturday night made by the police is the second visit ofthe sort within a short period . The defendants wore a rough-looking lot . Superintendent

      Beresford , Cdiv ' sion , proved that the police had received information , and that the proper legal steps had been taken to warrant their entry into the house . About twelve o ' clock on Saturday night he took a number of constables to tha house , No . 17 , Castle-street , and after a short delay obtained an entrance to the upper voim , where the defeudeuts were assembled . There were no gambling implements visible , but some dice , cards , and boxes were afterwards found in various parts of the premises . The upper room was very difficult of access . The only way of admission was through a sort of trap-door , which n as secured inside by two strong bolts . Persons wishing to enter the room rang a bell , and if they were known , the frap . door was lifted up and they were admitted , Jlr . Maltby inflicted a fine ou the teu defendants of 10 s . each .

      WORSHIP-STREET . Mondat . —STABBtKG . —Georgiana Dempsey , a neatlydressed young woman , in au advanced state of pregnancy , was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton , charged with cutting and wounding a young man , named John Pitt , with a table knife . It appeared from the statement of the complainant ( whose lower jaw and one of his hands were covered with adhesive plaister ) , that while seated in the tap-room of the Queen ' s Head public-house , in Phtfield-street , Hoxton , on Saturday evening , the prisoner abruptly entered the apartment , and without Uttering a woid or receiving the slightest provocation , suddenly snatched up a knife from the table , and stabbed at him three times in rapid succession . The first , of the blows inflicted a severe gosh in his lower hip , and the prisoner then aimed a blow at his left breast , the knife

      penetrating completely through his coat and under garments , but he succeeded in warding off the intended mischief by raising his arm , and received a cut extending across all the fingers of his right hand . The prisoner was then secured by some persons in the room and given into custody , and witness was conducted to the house of Mr . Packer , a neighbouring surgeon , who dressed his wounds , neither of which was , fortunately , of a dangerous character . The prosecutor , after some hesitation , acknowledged that he had been living for some tim » with the prisoner , but that the connection had been broken off for some time , and she had since been in the constant habit of aunoying him , and had been the means of depriving him of his last situation . The prisoner , who was greatly agitated , and wept incessantly , said that she bad Jived for a considerable period with the prosecutor as his wife , but that he suddenly discarded her about three months ago , and to escape from her importunities , shortly after gave her into

      custody npon an unfounded accusation of felony , and although the magistrate at once dismissed the charge , she was committed to prison in default of procuring bull , as the prisoner positively swore that he went in danger from her violence . Having heard , on her release from prison , that he had been thrown out of employment , and still feeling a lingering regard for bim , she sought him out on Saturday night to give him a trifling sum she had earned on the previous day , as a tailoress , when ho assailed her with the foulest epithets , upbraiding her with the disgrace and ruin he bad himself brought upon her , and excited her feelings to such a degree , that she lost all command over herself , and did nat know what she was doing . Mr . Broughton said , that however much he might feel disposed to compassionate the prisoner ' s situation , it could not be taken as a justification of the desperate conduct of which she had been guilty , and he must therefore commit her to prison , until the additional evidence necessary to complete the case could be brought forward .

      Dreadful Shipwrecks And Immense Loss Of ...

      DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS AND IMMENSE LOSS OF LIFE ... . ,, :.. - . Never , perhaps , has there been known by the oldest mariner such a continuance of tempestuous weather , as has prevailed during the whole of the past month . The accounts from all quarters detail the most heartrending casualties at sea . Amongst those of the most distressing character are those of the St . David steamer , trading with passengers and goods between Havre , Plymouth , and Liverpool , and the Tom Bowling steam vessel , with the loss of nearly forty lives . Tlie St . David steamer was the joint property of the master , Captain Evans , and Mr . Davidson , a merchant residing at Havre , and was manned by a crew of twenty hands . It seems that she left Havre in the early part of last week , having

      on board several passengers , the number of whom could not be ascertained , and deeply laden , her decks being , according to reports received , loaded with casks of wine . She was seen by a vessel the afternoon of the day following her departure , and nothing was heard of her afterwards , until a few days since , when several casks of wine were picked up by a fisherman , about twenty-five miles east of Havre harbour , which were identified as having formed a portion of the cargo ofthe ill-fated steamer , which were stored on her deck . It is supposed that she foundered during the gale—every soul on board perishing . The Transit steamer , which arrived at Southampton a few days since , brought letters announcing that a large quantity of her cargo had been

      round oft the coast of hecamp , where a body has also been washed ashore , together with part of a ship ' s wheel , much ornamented with copper . The body has been recognised as that of the engineer of the St . David . A trunk has been picked up , containing females' apparel , which is known to have belonged to one of the temale passengers . The other lost steamer , the Tom Bowling , is supposed to have foundered during the gale ofthe 16 th and 17 th ult . with all hands , off the Dutch coast . She wis perfectly a new vessel , being only built at North Shields last summer , and was the property of the master Mr . Murray , and engineer Mr . Stewart , both of whom were on board of her , and of course perishsd . According to the information furnished us , she left

      the river for Bremen or the 11 th ultimo , where she was to remain a few months on a trial cruise ; if found to be successful , it was understood that she was to have been purchased . On leaving Gravesend her crew comprised Mr . Murray , master ; John Reed , chief mate ; the second mate , name not known ; Mr . Stuart , engineer ; Paine , Tees , and Stephens , stokers ; two seamen , an apprentice , and a pilot . How for she proceeded is a mere matter of conjecture . Nothing has been seen of her since , although the passage is not more than three or four days . The probability is that she encountered the storm off the Dutch coast , as a boat bearing her name and the captain ' s , has been washed ashore at Norden , where so many fearful shipwrecks have occurred . That she is lost there is no doubt . The Dutch Indiaman , Twee Cernelelenses , wrecked in Pervensey Bay . near Eastbourne , on Sunday

      morning last , had a cargo valued at £ 30 , 000 , which was totally lost with the ship . Two other Indiamen were lost more to the westward—one called the Kate Nickleby , belonging to Glasgow , laden with rum , suear , and other West Indian produce ; and the other named the Ness , from Deraerara to Bristol . As regards the loss of the former ship , the only particulars received of her disaster are dated Westport , Christmas-day , which reports that she was totally wrecked on the night of the 23 rd , during a tremendous storm off the western coast of Erris , near Belwullell , but nothing lias been mentioned as to the fate of the crew . The other wreck happened on Tuesday morning , on the coast near Padstow . Within a short distance of the spot where the Ness went ashore , a vessel , which turned out to be the Albion Schooner , 160 tons burthen , belonging to Brixham , and laden with iron rails , was totally lost , and all hands , except one man .

      Their names have heen ascertained to be Mr . Salisbury Reynolds , master , a native of Ramsgate ; Henry May , William Bosle , Thomas Bennett , and John Knowles . The survivor was lashed on the bowsprit , his name is William Viselcy . The body of the mate is the only one that has been cast on the beach . The poor fellow has left a wife and five children to mourn liis loss . To the westward of Dungcness Bay , near Rye , two most fatal wrecks happened during Christmas-day and the succeeding night . The names of the illfated vessels were the Elizabeth , coal-laden , from Sunderland to Rouen ; and the Eliza , of North Shields , the property of Mr . Fleming , also coal laden , for Honfleur ; and dreadful to relate , every soul

      belonging to them , amounting to twenty persons , were drowned . Similar catastrophes occurred off Wisbeaeh , Cromer , Yarmouth , Robin Hood's Bay , and Calais . 'rhatatthefirst-namedportwasthelossofBbrigcallcd the Young Adam , of Skegness , and seven of her crew perished . Off Cromer , the Richard , of Elsineur , foundered , and all on board , nine in number , went down with her . At Yarmouth , some miles out , two vessels were seen to founder , and as their crews have not been seen or heard of , it is supposed that every soul belonging to them were sacrificed . And at Calais , the Montague , of Newcastle , for Honfleur , also foundered ; The orow , eight in number , took to the boat just before she went down , and were making for the snore , when tho boat capsised , and the whole of them perished .

      Thirteen coasting vessels worn driven ashore during the gales off different parts of the Welsh , and the mow distant parts ofthe Western coast , and in some instances , in consequence of the continuance ofthe gales , the greaterpart of them it is feared will become total losses . Eight out of the thirteen were attended by loss af life , each vessel varying from two to three of their crew . Along the Dutch coast the sacrifice of property has been equally as great as oh" the English . The total number of vessels reported to have been lost amounts to sixteen . The Belgian and French coast have been visited with similar disasters , also occasioning a deplorable loss of life .

      Suicinn from DisiREss . —On Monday night . Mr . Bedford held an inquest at the George the Fourth , Gilbert-passage , Clare-market , on John Lamboord , aged forty . The deceased , who had been outof work for the last three years , and was in a most destitute condition , occupied an apartment in the rookery , Short s-garden , Drury-lane .

      Serious Fraud on the NEWCASTiiE-TjKnER-LvME Bask . —On Tuesday last , at the quarter sessions for the borough of Newcastle , Staffordshire , held before Sir Fortunatus Dwarris { the recorder ) , Reginald Ayshford Wise pleaded guilty to the charge of having defvavwltd Thomas lvinnersley , Esq ., of Newcastle , by obtaining under false pretences , on the 13 th of June , 1844 , the sum of £ 550 , at the Newcastle Bank . He was sentenced to be transported for seven years . The prisoner , who is thirty-five years of age , is the son of a banker , formerly in business at Totness , Devon ; his brother is a magistrate for Staffordshire , residing at Clayton-hall , near Newcastle . The facts , as disclosed by the depositions , are as follow : —On the day named in the indictment prisoner went to the Newcastle Bank , and stated that he had ordered the transfer of £ 1 , 000 from his bankersMessrs .

      , Hoare , of Fleet street , to Masterman ' s , the London agents of the Newcastle Bank , and that having bought an estate , the deposit on which he was obliged to pay down , he required an advance of £ 550 . Being a stranger to Mr . Kinnersley ' s clerks , the advance was refused , without he produced a note from his brother , Mr . Wise , of Clayton . Prisoner said his brother was from home , and after much urgent ' entreaty the sum ( £ 350 ) was advanced , he giving his check on Messrs . Hoare for the amount . The check was dishor . our « d , and tho prisoner was seen no more in the neighbourhood of Newcastle until the latter end of October , when he was apprehended at Whitmore , 'about six miles distant . —[ It was proved before the committing magistrates that the prisoner had no funds with Messrs . Hoare , and never had an account at their bank . ]

      ^ IKSBflR , SuSDAY . — SdCIDE OP A PaT-SbRGKANT in the Grksadiek Guards . —Yesterday evening an inquest was held before William Martin , Esq ., the coroner for the borough , at the infantry-barracks , Sheet-street , on the body of John Richardson , a pay-sergeant in the second battalion of grenadier guards , who had hung himself that morning . Colonel Sir John Burgoyne , in command of the battalion , and several of the officers , were present during the inquiry . A report having got abroad in the regiment , which is supposed to have no real foundation , that the deceased had been on improper terms of intimacy with the two daughters of another sergeant in tin . same battalion , is imagined to have been the cause of his committing self-destruction . Colonel Sir John Burgoyne stated that shortly before nine o ' clock that morning , Captain Bradford , the adjutant , reported that Sergeant Richardson had hung himself and witness sealed

      gave a , letter . Witness knownothing about the reports alluded to , nor anythinc particular concerning the deceased , having onlv lately himself joined tlie battalion .

      The Mubder At Yarmouth. 7'"" Examination...

      THE MUBDER AT YARMOUTH . 7 '" " EXAMINATION " OP ' " 8 ABHAM . After two remands , for a week each , Samuel Yarham was brought up before a full bench of magistrates , assembled at the Gaol Hall , on Monday last , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon , on a charge of being a principal in the murder of Mrs . Candler . Mr . Tolver conducted the prosecution , and Mr . S . B . Sherrington attended as his solicitor . A large concourse of people assembled in the street outside the gaol , although the examination took place two hours earlier than had been very generally announced by the authorities . Amongst the crowd was Royal , who was

      acquitted at the trial last year for the same offence . The examination was a private one , but we believe that the subjoined will be found a tolerably correct summary of the evidence adduced against Yarham . The superintendent of police narrated the particulars of his attempt to apprehend Yarham , and of his taking him atBlakeney , in Gloucestershire . The principal testimony against Yarham will bo his own evidence when admitted a witness against Royal , Hall , and Mapes , and a conversation which Mrs . Dick , on oath , states that Yarham volunteered to tar ' * abwt thxee weeks after the trial . "

      It will be the object ot the prosecution to prove that Yarham , when admitted approver , did not state the whole truth , which , if they succeed , according to the opinion ofthe Attorney-General , will subject him to a prosecution for the murder . Mrs . Dick adhered to the statement which she has recently , though not until to-day on oath , made , which statement we have recently published . Mr . Sherrington cross-examined Mrs . Dick on the improbability of her not knowing Yarham , having been examined in each other's presence before the magistrates on several occasions and at the trial ; on her talking with him for a quarter of an hour in the most public part of the town , and making a confession , the effect of which , if true , jeopardises her own neck .

      A witness was called of the name of Sims , a boy in the service of Mr . Hume , of this town , a chimneysweep , for the purpose of strengthening the statement of Mrs . Dick , as to the fact of any conversation at all having passed between her and Yarham . We understand that this boy failed to corroborate Mrs . Dick ' s statement as to the time when she alleges the conversation to have taken place . The boy Sims states that he climbed up on the barrack palings the day after the murder ( not three weeks after the trial ) , and saw Mrs . Dick and Yarham in earnest conversation together .

      Mr . Catchpole , solicitor , was called , who proved that he came home from the Angel Inn , where he had been dining , about half-past one on the morning of the murder , and was let in by Yarham , who was dressed . Yarham made no communication to-him about anything having happened at Mrs . Candler ' s ( whose house , it will be remembered , was separated only by a thin boarded partition ) , nor was lie made awar 6 of it until the police came and called him up shortly after he had been in bed . Yarham went with him into the shop , and saw the body of deceased ; he said he had been awake all the evening , and had heard no noise of any kind . Police-constable Johnson , and ex-police officer

      Waller , proved the trying of Mrs , Caifdler ' s door and shutters , and finding tho body of deceased behind the counter , in the manner described br them at the inquest and trial . J . B . Bales , sergcant-at-mace , stated that the day after the murder he went to the Denes , where the money was found , and examined several foot-marks , some of which , on comparing them with Yarham ' s shoes , he believed to be his . Yarham had a small foot , and the impressions , from his ( Bales ) knowledge , from having heen a shoemaker , agreed , very much with the size of the prisoner's . The remaining part of the evidence , given up to half-past five on Monday , when the Court adjourned , was almost literally the same as deposed to on the trial .

      The exclusion of the reporters and the public is the subject of very general censure , and tends to increase the very popular belief that Mrs . Dick ' s statement is not to be relied upon , on account of its numerous and glaring inconsistencies .

      Another Death From The Bursting Of The H...

      Another Death from the Bursting of the Harrington Waterworks . —We regret testate that another has been added to the list of those who perished by the bursting of the tank at the Liverpool and ^ Harrington Waterworks , in Water-street . The individual whose sufferings have now been terminated was named Ann Devaney . She was the wife of Joseph Devaney , who occupied one of the illfated houses in Rock-street , which -were destroyed by the calamity at the company ' s works , on Christmasday . Herself , her husband , and her son were taken from the ruins and removed to the Southern Hospital , in a much Injured state . The son died in a day or two after the accident , and , at one o ' clock a . m ., on

      Saturday morning the mother died . When first admitted she had contused wounds on the head , chest , and various other parts ofthe body ; and she was suffering severely from the suffocation she had endured whilst lying in the ruins . Subsequently she rallied a little , and hopes were entertained of her recovery ; but she was seized with inflammation of the lungs , tlie result of her injuries , which was the imniedl-itecauseofherdeath . Six persons have now lost their lives by the bursting of the tank ; the mother and son , as we have said , in tho family of Devaney ; tlie mother and daughter in the family of Smith ; and the two women who happened to be of the same name , Catherine Gibson .

      Miraculous Escape . —A most extraordinary escape from death occurred attheAnnerfy station of the Croydon line on Friday afternoon week . In order that the matter may be understood , it should be stated that the trains are now performing sixteen trips per day ont he atmospheric principle upon the Croydon line . At the above named station , a swing bridge is placed across the atmospheric tube and line of rails , to enable persons leaving the locomotive train to get to the turnpike-road . On Friday afternoon the locomotive down train arrived at Annerly , and passengers for that station were going away by the usual route . As there is no communication by means ofthe electric telegraph ' at this station , the atmospheric train was not expected ; when with lightning-like velocity , it was in sight . The guards and other persons seeing the imminent danger to persons

      crossing the line at the time , set up a loud shout , which so alarmed the passengers of the locomotive , that several of them jumped out of the carriages . Amongst the number was Mr . Kent , carpenter , of troydon , who slipped and fell across the tube , the tram , which was travelling at the rate of sixty miles per hour , being close upon him . Death seemed inevitable , he made a convulsive spring , and , wonderful to relate , the front part of the driving carriage hurled him on to the platform , and he escaped uninjured . # Supp osed Murdbr . —On Sunday evening last the vicinity of Nunwiek , near Ripon , was thrown into great consternation by the discovery ofthe body of a female child on the sand bed of the river Ure , near Nunwiek . It appears that the child was about one day old , and had apparently been born alive ; and it is probable that the body may have been two or three days in the river .

      Ihb ExBWfB Pimtes at Dov £ R . —The schooner Papucle Baptesta , of Azores , from London for Oporto , which put in here on Sunday week , is still lying m our harbour .
