MUBDER OF A CHILD BT ITS FATHER . —G . HoWO , 32 , -was indicted for putting a quantity of oxalic acid into some bread and milk , which was administered to his infant child . On Thursday evening , the 25 th of January last , the prisoner was in the house of a person of the name of Brav , at Tarm , -and there was also there a female named Wood , who had the care of the child . Mrs . Wood was feeding the child with bread and milk , and being Called away , she took the child with her , and left the bread and milk noon a table near to the prisoner ; and the pr isoner , it is supposed , then poured some oxalic acid into the bread and milk . Mrs . Wood returned , and , ignorant of what had been done by the Tirisoner , proceeded to feed the child with thc bread
and milk , of which she took two ieaspoonfuls , flUU died inconsequence four days after . The prisoner tras a widower , and was formerly a gentleman s servant , but had latterly been a railway labourer . He had stated he was about to marry again to a -woman who bad money , but who know nothing of the existence of the infant . From that time he treated the child with nnkindncss , and expressed a - wish ihathe was rid of it . On one occasion he had the child in his arms , and struck its head against a chair with such violence that the cluld screamed out , and a person interfered and threatened to thrash the prisoner if hedid not desist . After the prisoner s apprehension a shawl belonging to bim was found , in which a phial was wrapped that appeared to have contained some sort of crystalline matter . On Hie shawl , on the wall , and on the table where the & od was , marts corresponding with those on the
prisoner ' s trowsers were found . They would find that this phial was seen empty a day or two before the alleged murder—the eye medicine was gone '; but . on the day after it was found to contain oxalic acid . Thus far it was clear that there was oxalic acid in fhe child ' s bread and milk , and that there was oxalic acid in the prisoner ' s possession . Was he aware it was a deadly poison . The prisoner , after the ease for the prosecution had been closed , addressed the jury . As to the phial found in the shawl in his hox , he suggested that it had been put there by some one else . For the stains upon his trowsers he could not at all account , and therefore left his case to the judgment of the court and ury . The judge summed up , and the jury , after an absence of ten minutes , returned a verdict of " Guilty , " and the prisoner received sentence of death . *
Salisbury , March 19 . Mcrdeb . —J . Smith , aged 23 , a wretched-looking object , was indicted for the wilful murder of Eleanor Lawrence at Collingbourn-Ducis , on the 9 th of August last . —Mary Annett deposed : Eleanor Lawrence lived with me . On Wednesday , August 9 , at twelve o ' clock , she came to me in Mr . Pike ' s reaping-field , with my dinner . She stayed with me twenty minutes . She then returned towards Collingbourn . In about an hour and a " half I was called . I went along the field towards the turnpike road , where I saw Lawrence lying on the road with the blood running from her head . Her bonnet was off , and she was insensible . She was conveyed home . I saw her until her death , which took place
on ittday morning at ten o clock . She was thirtyfour years of age . —The Rev . G . Hadow , curate of Everleigh , deposed : I live about half a mile from the Crown Inn , at a lone house . About two o ' clock that dav the prisoner called at my house aud asked for wofk . He appeared much excited , and was breathing hard . I asked what was the matter , but he made no answer . He had been running very hard . He immediately hurled two stones at me , and wounded ine in two places . I rushed into my study , as I thought I was going to be murdered . I went out again , but he was gone . I ordered a man to go in pursuit of him . I took my horse and rode into the Devizes road . I soon came up with the prisoner , who was coming back . He said , " I
suppose you want me ? and pulled a stone out of his pocket , and threw at me . He hit me three times , and then ran away . Woodruffe and my servant Mortimer came up , and we pursued him , and secured him . I asked him if he had intended to murder me ? and he said , "Yes , I did not care what I did . " Woodruffe asked him if he was not ashamed of himself ? He said "So , for I have committed a murder already to-day . " 1 asked him where ? and he said " Ton will soon hear of it . "John Stagg deposed : I had the prisoner in custody on the 10 th of August for the assault on Mr . Hadow . Barry came up , and desired to have ihe prisoner taken back on a charge relative to a woman who was found beaten near GoUmghoura . The prisoner
said , " I knocked her down , I did not ravish her . I met the woman on the road , and threw a stone at her and knocked her down . I then kicked her about the head and ran away . If I had not gone to the parson ' shouse I might have been some miles away . If you had asked me I should have said the woman was dead . " I asked what woman , but to that he made no answer . He subsequently said , " It was my own tongue that done me . "—A jacket , which was found near the scene ofthe murder , was proved to be one similar to that worn by the prisoner , who acknowledged it to be his . —George Andrews deposed : I am surgeon of the county gaol where the prisoner has been since last August . He has been in a sane state of mind , and has a perfect knowledge
of right and wrong . Cross-examined : I have seen the prisoner about twice or thrice a week . A person may be in a sane state at one time and mad at another . This is called monomania . It is only discovered when the particular subject upon which there is a delusion is acted upon . A person may be perfectly collected until the delusion is brought forward . At the time the delusion exists , a ' party cannot distinguish between right and wrong . There is a disease called insane impulse , the predominant character of which is to commit acts of violence—a sudden irresistible desire to destroy human life , or to commit a theft hi the higher ranks of life—By Lord Demnan : It is never thought so in the humbler class of life , is it ? Witness : It is not , mv .
lord ; but in the higher classes there can be no reason for committin g theft—Lord Denman : So desire to possess that which does not belong to them?—Crime is committed without any discoverable motive . Their wiU is not under control . —He-exaammed : I have not seen anything in the prisoner's conduct to induce me to believe that he has had monomania or instinctive madness . I have not had any personal experience of such matters , but I have read it in books . —Mr . Challoner Smith addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner . —Lord Denman , in summing up , observed tbat it was with great rashness that persons made doctrines as excuses for the worst passions , and persevered in contending that influences were irresistible . He was not aware
that medical men were more capable of accounting for the state of the mind than other persons . To say tbat a man was irresponsible without positive proof of any act to show he was labouring under some delusion , seemed to him to be an assumption of knowledge which none but the great Creator bimself could possess . He did not see anything to prove a diseased state of mind , except the violence of the act itself ; and he could not help observing that the surgeon of the gaol had not found any symptoms of mental disease . —The jury consulted together for a few minutes , and then returned a verdict of " Guilty . " —On being asked why sentence of death should not be passed on him , the prisoner replied that he was innocent of the murder . —Lord Denman then passed sentence of death .
Maidstone , March 13 . Alleged Ixcexdiabism . —Charles Ableton , a boy 12 years old , was indicted for feloniously and maliciously setting fire to a stack of straw , the property of James Russell , with intent to injure him . Mr . Deedes prosecuted ; Mr . Addison defended the prisoner . The prosecutor in this case is a farmer at Horton Kirby , and it appeared that the fire in question occurred on the 6 th of November in last year , the day when it will be remembered , owing to the 5 th falling on a Sunday , the commemoration of the gunpowder plot was celebrated . The only actual evidence against the prisoner was that he was seen near the place about the time the fire broke out . The jury , after a short deliberation , returned a verdict of yot Guilty , and the learned judge gave directions that the prisoner should bo at once placed in the charge of his father , who was hi waiting to receive Mm .
BuBKixo Farm Produce . —A . Humphrey , eighteen , and L Ellis , eighteen , were indicted for feloniously setting fire to a barn , containing a largequantityof wheat , oats , and barley , amounting In value to more than £ 500 , the property of Edward Monckton . —Mr . Bodkin prosecuted ; and Mi . Home defended tie prisoners . —Mr . Edward ^ Monckton , the prosecutor , deposed that he occupied the Parsonage Farm , at Brenchley . On the 21 st of October , he bad a large double barn in one of his fields filled with gram . It contained 120 quarters of wheat , 100 quarters of oats , 44 quarters of barley , and 40 tons of hay .

It is expected thatjhejiomiaation will take place on the 23 rd .
Imperial Parliament. (From Our Third Edi...
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . ( From our Third Edition of last week . ) FRIDAY , March 9 . HOUSE OF LOSDS . -The members of this House hiring disposed of some unimportant business adjourned at an early hour . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Navigation Laws .-Mr . Herbies moved that the bill introduced by the Ministry be read a second time that day six months . The interval since last session had afforded tune for considering this measure , and the result had been a vast body of opinions and of evidence adverse to its policy . As regarded foreign powers , France , Belgium , and Germany , those countries still remained hostile to the propositions made to them , on contravention of the attempts to convince them that
it would be to their interest to follow the example this government was desirous to set them . After referring to the evidence of officers as to whether a mercantile marine was or was not necessary for the support of a great naval marine , tho right hon . gentleman quoted some observations of Mr . Cobden ' s as bona fide evidence of the first proposition , and urged that the existing navigation laws secured to this country the exclusive possession of a vast international and colonial traffic , as also the traffic with the large non-maritime powers of Europe . The shipping interest employed capital to the extent of near sixty millions ; paid in wages not less than £ 5 , 000 , 000 annually , employed 80 , 000 artificers and workmen , had ships , the whole amount of tonnage of which was 3 , 900 , 000 tons , the vessels being manned by 250 , 000 seamen , and yet it was this vast interest the government were about to destroy , dealing now with the sea as thev had
nreviously done with the land . It was however to be hoped that public opinion would induce them to pause in the destructive and ill-judged career they were pursuing . _ The question at issue , he observed , was this : On one hand , the navigation laws had secured to this country a large commercial marine ; on thc other hand , it was contended that they presented obstructions to the free scope of commerce , and that a large mercantile marine was not necessary or auxiliary to a great naval power . After exposing the fallacy of the proposition , he adduced evidence to prove that in spite of its restrictions , which were not onerous , the balance of advantages clearly preponderated in favour of a system which was the nursery of our flourishing mercantile marine , the foundation of a naval supremacy , and which , if once abandoned for the sake of a rash experiment , could never be restored .
Mr . J . Wilson followed . With regard to the answers from various foreign powers in reference to the applications made to them , all they did was to remind the British government tbat the treaties with them would expire in such a year , and that a more liberal policy would be expected ; while Austria replied she was surprised at being asked whether she could reciprocate with this country , because she had already given all she could , and was disappointed when she asked for reciprocity in return . The hon . member then took a review ofthe various relaxations in protective duties which had taken place since 1841 , in which year the first reduction of the commercial tariff took place , and proceeded to say that if no better reason existed for the
repeal of the navigation laws than the invitation of the United States and the threat of Russia , no g round would be laid for the bill under consideration , but the more the effect of those laws upon the shipping interest and commerce ofthe country were inquired into , the more abundantly would reasons appear , both for their repeal . With regard to the number of men employed in the commercial marine , in 1842 , it was 118 , 000 ; in 1847 , 242 , 000 ; a proof that as free trade had progressed the number of seamen had increased . There was no evidence to show that there was a decline in the shipping trade of this country , and if she could stand the test of a comparison with America in the increase of her foreign shipping-, there was little danger to be
apprenenueu ; on tne contrary , it would appear that the more the Britsh shipowner was brought into competition with the foreigner the better it would be for him . The Marquis of Gba . vby quoted Mr . Mackay ' s " Western World" with the view of showing the country the resurces of America and the rapid progress her commercial marine was making , though he did not agree with Mr . M . in his deduction that therefore England must succumb to America , for there was a skill , energy , and industry in British seamen , that nothing but the misconduct ofthe Legislature could destroy . ^ The introduction of foreign shipping into the colonies abroad and into the harbours and ports at home strongly reminded him of the introduction of the wooden horse into
Troy . Mr . Hexlet expressed his wish to know what , in the event of a war , and this measure having passed , government intended to do on the subject-of uu-Eressment ; for , when they were introducing a etter class of men into tho mercantile marine , some provision must be made in this respect . He , for one , was not prepared to run the risk which he apprehended would be run if the present measure were carried . Mr . Kerr offered a few observations amidst much laughter , and having suddenly resumed his seat , the debate was adjourned to Monday at twelve o ' clock .
THURSDAY , March , 15 . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Rate in Aid Bill . — The Chancellor of the Exchequer answered Sir Robert Pefl by stating that the second reading of the Rate in Aid Bill woulu certainly be proceeded with before Easter . Agricultural Burdens . —The adjourned debate on the burdens on agriculture was opened by Mr . M . Gibsox , who drew the attention of the House to the distinction existing between thc two motions before them , involving , as they did , entirely different principles—the one being founded upon leaving the whole amount of the public burden and taxation as it now stood , merely transferring a portion from one class to another , by adding a charge of six millions
on the consolidated fund ; and the other , founded on the principle of giving relief to all classes—agricultural as well as commercial—first by a reduction of expenditure , in order that the claims of the national creditor might be duly satisfied , and next , by applying the surplus to the repeal of those taxes which pressed upon the agricultural and commercial industry of the country . The right hon . gentleman then proceeded to review the state of the local taxation of the country , and urged that , even if tha transfer of the charge of six millions to the consolidated fund took place , still there would be the same machinery necessary for the collection of the rates ; and , therefore , if the proposition was souud in principle , it would be better to transfer the whole charge to that source . He had never agitated for the repeal of the malt tax , because ho had thought
there were good economical arguments against it , but looking to the fiscal reforms that had taken place , and the principle upon which they had been carr ied out , he thought the like arguments applied to the malt tax , and that its repeal might be justified on the same grounds ; therefore he was now prepared to advocate its repeal , which would be in EGrfeCt Consistency with the policy parliament bad itberto pursued . If , however , hon . gentlemen turned their backs on reduction of expenditure , and pursued the phantom now leading them astray , they would run the risk of letting the repeal of the malt tax slip through their fingers , and the opportunity might not offer itself for some time of conferring this great boon on the agricultural interest , on the labouring classes , and on the general industry of the country .
Mr . Keb Setmer defended the landlords from the attacks which had been made upon them . He should vote for the motion of his hon . friend the member for Buckinghamshire . Lord Nomiets could not vote for thc original resolution , because if such a plan were carried it would necessarily lead to an Increase of the income tax ; neither could he vote for the amendment of the hon . member for Montrose , because it would be in opposition to the vote he had given on the motion ofthe hon . member for the West Riding , which involved the keeping faith with the public creditor .
Mi-. G . Lewis entered at some length into the principle involved in local taxation , particularly with regard to the poor laws , and expressed hfs conviction that the only means of keeping the relief of the poor within bounds consistent with the safety of property , was a strict adherence to the principle of local taxation and administration . The adoption of the plan proposed by the honourable member for Buckinghamshire would not afford any relief to the landowners and agriculturists . Sir M . J . Chomlet expressed his intention of votin * for the motion ofthe hon . member for Buckinghamshire , but would suggest that , instead of an increase in the income tax , as contemplated by the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer , there should be a moderate fixed duty on foreign corn . Mr . P . W . Miles contended that , for the purposes of nationality , real property was too highly
taxed , arid that what was required was . that a mode should be devised in which tho unfair pressure could bebest removed from the shoulders of those who now bore it , and that it should be redistributed more justly . It was because he believed the proposition of his hon . friend would have this effect that he felt he had no choice , but must vote for it . Mr . Bright , in reference to a quotation from a speech of his read by the hon . member for Buckinghamshire , in which he was represented to have admitted that great distress prevailed among the agricultural classes , denied that he had ever expressed himself to that effect : what he had said was that although there might have been something ot the sort said at meetings here and there in Cambridge , or in Suffolk perhaps , yet in the south of England the cry of agricultural distress had scarcely been heard . The hon . gentleman then proceeded o refer to the price of wheat , stating that
Imperial Parliament. (From Our Third Edi...
inasmuch as at Dantzic wheat was now 53 s . a quarter , and other wheat of fair quality tfs ., Enghsh wheat of the same quality as the latter would fetch the same price . Therefore u that were so , the pretence on which the motion had been brought forward had signally failed , that no ground had been laid for any change in the existing burdens on the land which could bo justified either by . the present condition ofthe tenant farmer , or by the price . of agricultural produce in the home markets . The hon . member concluded hia address by paying a tribute to the character , of Mr . Cobden , warning the house that the measures his hon . friend proposed had thc sympathy of millions , and many sessions would not pass before the house would vote for the measure -which he recommended .
Mr . Newdeoate , believing that under present circumstances ^ unduly taxed as the ' agriculturists were , they would be" unable to compete with foreign producers , he should vote for thc motion of his hon . friend . Mr . S . Herbert concluded a speech of some length by expressing the opinion that he thought the house had some right to complain , when a plan of this magnitude was proposed , that there was no mention how the expenses were to be met ; and not believing that any explanation which could be given would render the plan more feasible , and not wishing to raise false hopes , he should oppose the motion .
The Marquis of GRANBTfollowed in support of tho motion for going into committee , and Mr . Goulburn and Lord J . Russell against . Mr . Cobden , in an address of some length , supported Mi * . Hume ' s amendment , after which Mr . Disraeli spoke in reply , and the House divided , first on Mr . Hume ' s amendment , which was negatived by a majority of 324—the numbers 70 to 394 ; and secondly , on the original motion , whicb was rejected by a majority of 91—the numbers 189 to 280 . The result of the latter division was hailed with loud Protectionist cheers , and the House adjourned at two o ' clock .
The Following Appeared In Our Town Editi...
The following appeared in our Town Edition of last week : —
Coroner ' s Inquest . —The inquest on the body of a man ( name unknown ) , who died of cholera occasioned by starvation , at a lodging-house in the Mint , the particulars of whose death will be found in our sixth page , was resumed yesterday ( Friday ) , when tbe jury returned a verdict , " That the deceased died ' a natural death , accelerated from want of food . " Trial on a Charge op Murder . —At the Chelmsford Assizes , on Thursday . Hannah Southgate , 29 ,
a married woman , was indicted for tho wilful murder of Thomas Ham , at the parish of Wix , by feloniously administering to him a large quantity of a certain deadly poison called white arsenic . The counsel for the prosecution explained to tho jury that the prisoner was charged with thc murder of her former husband ( Thomas Ham ) , and that since that period she had again married a person named Southgate . After a very lengthy investigation , which elicited onl y a repetition of the particulars which have already appeared at length iu our columns , the -jury returned a verdict of " Not Guilty . "
Murder . —At the Worcester assizes on Thursday , Robert Pully , aged 49 , labourer , was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Ann Staight , at Boughton , in the hamlet of Walcot , near Pershore , in this county . Deceased was an orphan , only fifteen years of age , to whom the prisoner appeared to have taken a strange dislike . She was . sent on an errand on the afternoon ofthe murder , . which must have been committed before five o ' clock . in the evening . The evidence as to the prisoner ' s possession of the stick with which tho crime was effected , and there being stains of blood on his clothes , was very direct . For two or three years past , the prisoner would appear to have exhibited symptons of a disordered intellect . The jury returned a verdict of " Guilty . " Sentence of death was thenpassedupon the prisoner with the usual formalities . Latest from Ireland . —The Rate in Aid . —On Thursday the South Dublin Union passed a resolution strongly condemnatory of the Rate in Aid .
MURDER OF A LADY AT BRISTOL . Bristol , March 8 . —The city has this morning been startled with the intelligence of the discovery of a murder of the most brutal and revolting character , the victim having been a maiden lady of between sixty and seventy years of age , possessed of considerable property in houses , & c , valued at the very least at £ 10 , 000 or £ 11 , 000 . The excitement consequent upon such a discovery has also been materially increased by the fact ofthe niurder having been perpetrated in one of the niost densely populated portions of the city , probably as long as Friday night last , without any discovery having been made before five or six o ' clock last evening . The circumstances ofthe case , as far as they have
yet transpired , arc as follow . Tho deceased , Miss Elizabeth Jefferies , resided at So . 0 , Trenchardstreet , in the parish of St . Michael , the house in which she lived , as well as nearly the whole of the houses on that side of the street , being her property . Miss Jefferies resided alone in the house , and was supposed always to keep a large sum of money in gold at her residence , besides other valuable property . On Friday last the old lady was seen by her neighbours about the premises as usual , and in the evening the shutters were closed at dusk . On Saturday morning it was observed that the shutters remained closed , but , from her wellknown eccentric habits , no suspicion whatever of anything being wrong arose in the minds of any of
the neighbours . Sunday , Monday , Tuesday , howover , passed over , and the shutters still remained closed , the subject became matter of comment and suspicion , which did not , however , extend beyond thc immediate neighbourhood until yesterday ( Wednesday ) afternoon , when some of the inhabitants waited upon the unfortunate lady ' s brother , a retired surgeon residing in Somerset-street , Kingsdown , to whom they communicated the fact ofthe house having been closed for several days , and of their suspicions that there was something wrong . Mr . Jefferies immediately communicated with tho authorities , and Inspector Bell directed a police-sergeant to go to thc premises , and endeavour to gain admission . The sergeant , accompanied by some policemen , found thc front
entrance fastened , but having got over the wall of the back court of Miss Jefferies' house , they found the back door open , but with no marks of its having been burglariously broken . They then examined the lower rooms , where nothing appeared to have been disturbed , nor any marks ofthe house having been robbed ; upon proceeding up-stairs , however , to the bed-room , on thc first-floor , they found the body of Miss Jefferies in the bed , with blood upon the head and face . Having communicated with the superintendent and inspector , they then made a minute examination of the premises , and upon entering the bed-room , they were first struck upon opening the door , by perceiving a pool of blood extending foam the bed upon which lay the murdered
lady , with marks of considerable violence upon the temple and nostrils , as if from blows inflicted by a poker , or some similar instrument . They then found that the closet in the room had been ransacked , papers , deeds , & c , being strewn about as if the boxes in the closet had been hastily turned out and searched ; the rooms up-stairs , also , had been ransacked , Inquiries were then made as to the female servant of deceased / and they received such information as induced the police to trace a girl , of about nineteen or twenty years of age , named Sarah Thomas , ' who had been recommended to Miss Jefferies from a servant ' s office , in thc usual way , on the 5 th of February last . After considerable trouble , about two o ' clock this ( Thursday ) morning the
police hit on the house of the girl s mother ma lane leading to Ashley Down , at Horfield , and demanded admission . Upon being refused , they threatened to force the door open , upon which some confusion and a rustling as of paper or shavings was heard inside . On bemg admitted , and searching tho lower part of the premises , they found the young woman , Sarah Thomas , concealed iu the coal-house under some shavings . In the coal-house a silver gravy spoon and fave silver table spoons , marked " E . J . " in a cipher , were found ; and in a box upstairs , a lady's gold watch , chain , and appendages , with a pair of gold car-rings , and other articles ; and m the girl ' s pocket were twentyfour sovereigns , four half-sovereigns , fifteen
shillings , ana a lourpenny bit in sdver , and twopence three farthings m copper . She was then removed to the station at Bristol , and being further searched , five sdver tea-spoons , marked "E . J ., " were found concealed in her stockings . Further investigation has shown that on Saturday morning a man was seen coming from Miss Jetfenes house , with-a red box , accompanied by tho servant girl , and that they went into a house in Host-street . The street-door and latch kevs of the deceased ' s house have since then been found in a singular way , at a public-house in Host street , where it is thought this man was sitting when the police sergeant came in to make some inquiries . An active search is still going on . but
the girl is the only person yet in custody . An inquest on the body of the murdered woman commenced on Thursday , and was adjourned till Tuesday next . We have received information that on Thursday evening , the girl Sarah Thomas , made a confession , to the effect that it was not she that did it , but a former fellow-servant of hers whose name at present it would be imprudent to disclose but who does not bear a good character , and who has been tried for felony . She states that it was done with a large stone , and in corroboration of this a stone was on Friday found on thc hob in the bed-room of the murdered woman , which on eS munition fitted the wounds exactl y / and on ™ we ^ some grey hairs and clotted blood . It is at nreZt m the custody of Inspector Bell . " pieSQnt

Worship-Street. —A "Presentiment" Of Rob...
WORSHIP-STREET . —A " Presentiment" of Robbery . —Ellen Thoroughgood , in the service of Mi-. A . L . Flint , was charged with having stolen a purse , containing seven sovereigns and other monies , belonging to her mistress , under the following artful circumstances : —; The prisoner and another servant had been left in charge of tho house during the temporary absence of the family on the preceding afternoon , when the' prisoner , in a state of great apparent trepidation , began conversing on tho subject of a robbery recently committed in the neighbourhood , and intimated that she felt a painful presentiment that tho place would be broken into and ulundered bv thieves before her master
returned . Her fellow-domestic endeavoured to allay her apprehensions , and thought no more of the matter until about half a hour afterwards , when the prisoner entered the kitchen in breathless haste , and said that her fears had been but too soon realised , as she had just discovered that her mistress ' s workbox had been broken open , and that tho contents of various drawers in one ofthe upper rooms had been ransacked and scattered about the place . Before the girl had recovered from her surprise at this announcement , the prisoner called her into the back kitchen and directed her attention to the window , which was partl y open , and through which she expressed her conviction that the thieves had obtained
access to the premises . The prosecutor's wife returned home soon after , and feeling satisfied , ns a quantity of plate and other valuable property had been left untouched , and only her purse , aud money stolen from her work-box , which had been forced open , that the place had not heen entered by regular housebreakers , she sent for the police , the result of whose examination was to confirm her suspicions , and the prisoner was given into custody . The prisoner in the first instance denied all knowledge of the robbery . but on her way to tho court she confessed her guilt , and told an officer where she had concealed the proceeds of the robbery . — She was committed for trial .
GUILDHALL . —Materials for " The Mysteries of London . " — C . Stanmore and Caroline Jane Worsloy , were charged , the former with using threatening language towards Mr . Bruils , and presenting pistols at him , and the latter with aiding and abetting Stanmore , and also with accusing the complainant of having committed an infamous crime . — Mr . Bruils said : For a long while the female , and latterly the male prisoner , had been calling upon him , in order to impress upon his mind that they had tho means of bringing an action against him for an infamous act ; and in consequence of information he received from'his landlady , he bicame alarmed lest his name should appear in the papersand wrote to the female to meet him at
, the Hotel de L' Univers , in thc Blackfriars-road . She came , accompanied by the male prisoner , and having been shown into a sitting-room , ' Stanmore then said to him , " You know you are guilty of an infamous crime , and this woman ( pointing to Worsley ) was witness of it . " He replied that he could not listen for a moment to such an accusation , and desired to leave the room ; but before he could do so , they both rushed towards the door and tried to force him back to a chair . He resisted , when the male prisoner suddenly pulled out a pair of double-barrelled pistols and presented them at his breast , at the same timo saying , " You arc in my hands . " He sat down and asked what they wanted ; upon which Worsley said , " You must write to the
father of my children , as you have influence with him , to bring them here to see you , and when they arrive you must give them to me . " Finding the male prisoner had locked the door , he consented to do so , and asked them , as a means of procuring assistance , if they would take a glass of wine . The male prisoner said , " you must make compensation to this woman , as you have plenty of money . " He refused to do so , and Stanmore threatened to have bills printed in this and other countries , exposing him , and also that he would bring the charge against him which tho female could prove . They consented to take a glass of wine , and the male prisoner went to the door . He was following in the hope of effectin ? his escape when the female called out" he will escape , " upon which Stanmore pulled a pistol out , and said he should not leave the place , but he
might call to the waiter . A bottle of wine was brought and placed on the table by the waiter who laid a knife down on the table , upon seeing which he snatched it up , and the prisoner at the same time drew the pistol out of his pocket . He said to Stanmore that he did not care for him , and was about leaving when the male prisoner cocked the deadly weapon , but was immediately seized by the waiter , and the police were sent for . On their arrival ho gave them into custody , when the female in the presence ofthe officers repeated her charge . —The female , in defence , said she was a married woman-with two children , ' and left her husband to live with " the prosecutor , her principal reason for which was , that the former being out of employment could not support her . An arrangement was entered into between her husband and Mr . Bruils
that the former should give up all control over thc children . On Tuesday last she was walking with her two children , in the York-road , Lambeth , where she met the prosecutor , who seized her children , at the same time calling out police , A cab drove up , when her husband jumped out , thc children were placed in it , and on her attempting to follow , she was pulled back by two women . The cabman called to her that he should drive to the station-house , but he did not do so , and she had not seen her children since . She could vouch that Stanmore intended no harm to the prosecutor , —In answer to questions put by tho Alderman , Mrs . Worsley said that her husband was living with another woman , at Greenwich , and she was now living with the
pris 6 ner Stanmore . —The male prisoner acknowledged living with Worsley , and said his reason for carrying the p istols ( which were only loaded with gunpowder m order to frighten the prosecutor ) was that he had several times threatened to use the knife . He did not draw his pistols out until he saw the knife in Bruil's hand . —Tho prosecutor was recalled , and did not deny anything stated b y the prisoners beyond the fact of the pistols only being presented , after the waiter was in tho room . — The officers proved that the pistols were only loaded with powder and some paper . —As to being instrumental in having her children taken away , prosecutor said , as they were interesting children , he advised the father to send thein to France to be educated , and the mother consented . —Alderman Lawrence said he
felt inclined to behove thc statements of the prisoners to a certain extent . The fact of threats to use the knife accounted for the male prisoner arming himself , but then there was only a little powder in the pistols to fri g hten complainant if he attempted violence . The prisoners were discharged . — Mr . Bruils asked if he could not take the case to the sessions ? — Alderman Lawrence would give no advice , and said the less the prosecutor moved in the matter the better it would be for him . Trade Combinations . —J . Faulkner , a journeyman cigar maker , was charged with inciting an apprentice , partly by threats and partly b y promises , to leave his employers . —11 . Vonderboeriin said he was apprenticed to Messrs . Newton , of Fridaystreet , cigar manufacturers , and had about a year and a half to serve . He knew the defendant , who left about three weeks ago . Last Wednesday fortnight a person named Coglin met him at the dinner
hour and asked him to go as far as the White Horse archway , close at hand , to sec Faulkner . On the way Coglin asked him if he wished to leave his place . He said , "He'll give you 10 s . per week from Saturday ; " and Faulkner remarked ? " that if he did not leave he would not get work when out of his time , " and also offered him 10 s . from the Wednesday until Saturday . Witness did not consent . —In reply to Alderman Lawrence , witnsss said he first informed Mr . Newton ofthe attempt to induce him to leave on a Saturday night . —Mr . Wontner , for the prisoner , cross-examined witness , and elicited that he did not inform any one ofthe affair until the foreman threatened to discharge him for some slight misconduct . —Alderman Lawrence said thc case was very weak , and the boy had not left Mr . Newton ' s service . If he had , the charge would have assumed a different aspect . At present it fell a little short of the offence , therefore he must dismiss the summons .
CLERKENWELL . —An ArtfolDodoe Defeated . —A well dressed , portly-looking woman , who refused to give her name and address , was put at the bar before Mr . Combe , charged with stealing a banker ' s parcel , containing upwards of £ 300 in gold and silver money . —Jnspector Julian , ot the 6 division , informed the magistrate that two persons , who represented that they had been retained to watch the proceedings on the part of the prisoner , had called at the station-house , and informed him that the name of the accused was Mary Watt . —Mr . Combe asked the prisoner if she . answered to that name , and whether she had employed any one to defend her ?—She replied that she had not instructed a professional adviser , and that her name was not Watt . Tho magistrate , however , might describe her as Mary Watt , if he thought proper , —Mr . Combe ' : —Well , to accomodate you , let that bo so . —
Mr . Bush , the solicitor to the Banker ' s Protection Society , who appeared for the prosecution , said he should , no doubt be able to ascertain her real name before many days had elapsed , and also show that she was connected with a well-organised gang of thieves . He then called into the witness box — Augustus Brime , porter of the London Joint-Stock Banking Company , in Lombard-street , who proved that on Monday afternoon he received from that bank a brown-paper parcel to convey to the Cross Keys in St . "John-street , for delivery at a banker ' s at Luton , in Bedfordshire , and , on arriving there , he handed the same to the . coachman of the vehicle running to that town . —The coachman having given ovidence . of ita receipt , and the deposit of it by him in the bar of tho Cross Keys , —Mrs . Mary Anno Griffin , the landlady , wasnext sworn : —Sho said , that on Monday afternoon she first saw tho prisoner , who applied to be accommodated wUU the soat until
Worship-Street. —A "Presentiment" Of Rob...
departure ofthe Luton coach , as she had a young friend who was coming to proceed with that conveyance as far as St . Alban ' s . She invited her to take a seat in the coffee-room , to which sho objected on the ground of gentlemen being there , and , on bein » offered a private sitting-room upstairs , she urged that it would be too lonely , and went away . In about five minutes afterwards she again presented herself at the bar , when , as a matter of courtesy , she was asked to take a seat in the bar parlour , --an offer she readily accepted , and in a very shoit time the last witness loft the banker ' s parcel in the same apartment on a desk , two yards from the spot where the prisoner was sitting . Not long after this a "entleman" who had for severalweeks past
" , ^ been in the habit of visiting her establishment , and leaving iu her care his great-coat , presented himself in a hurried manner , and , after saying , " Oh , you have a lady hero waiting for me , " pushed rudely by her , notwithstanding she objected , and entered the bar parlour to the prisoner , who instantly recognised him , and said something about his wife ; at the same time thc man called out for a glass of sherry , with which she served him , and received a shilling in payment . She retreated towards the bar to procure him change , when seeing from tbe reflection on the g lass door , the prisoner receive from his friend a paper parcel ( produced ) with red seals , and exchange it for that of the banker ' sshe ran up to the desk where the first one
, was placed , and , at once perceiving that thc change had been effected , she challenged them with so doing , whereupon the " gentleman" seized her by the arms , endeavouring to throw her down , and to take the packet that had been substituted for the banker ' s from her , but failing to do so he escaped from the house . While this struggling was going on , the prisoner kept on exclaiming , " For God's sake what is this about ? what is the matter ? " and seemed anxious to get away , but she was prevented by witness , who obtained the assistance ofthe Rev . Mr . Elwyn , of East Barnet , a gentleman then in the coffee-room , waiting for the coach in question , and the prisoner , finding that she was detained , was observed to drop thc banker ' s parcel from under her
shawl , which was partly drawn off her shoulders by the weight as it fell . Sergeant Archer , of the G division , was then sent for , and received charge of the prisoner , and removed her , at her desire , in a cab to the station-house . At the conclusion of this evidence the parcel brought by the " gentleman " to the prisoner was opened ; it bore a similar appearance to the banker ' s , being tied and waxed in a like manner , but it was found to contain a small bag filled with sand . When it was exposed to view the prisoner laughed heartily . Mr . Combe told her she could ask Mrs . Griffin any question she thought fit . —Prisoner ( firmly ) : Will you swear yon saw me drop the banker ' s parcel ?—Mrs . Griffin : Certainly I do . —Mr . Combe ( to the prisoner ) : Is there
anything else you wish to ask thc witness ?—Prisoner ( smiling ) : Why , no , sir . However , is she not more likely , as she uses sand , to have made up that parcel ( pointing to the dummy ) , to play some trick ? ( Much laughter . V—Mr . Combe : Why , reall y 1 don't think she is . After some further observations Mr . Bush applied to have the prisoner remanded for the attendance of the clerk who made up the parcel , and also to ohtain the evidence of the Rev . Mr . Elwyn . Mr . Combe said that such a course of proceeding was necessary for the ends of justice , and told the prisoner she would be brought up for a further examination in a week . The prisoner applied for the restoration of six sovereigns and some silver money which had been taken from her . Mr . Combe : Will
you tell me your name , and where you live ?—Prisoner ( good humouredly ) : Will you let me have my money ?—Mr . Combe : Will you tell me your name ? —Prisoner : Oh , you have got name enough . One is as good as another . But do be kind enough to give me up my money . —Mr . Combe : Not at present . I must know more of you first . —Prisoner : Then I wish you good morning , and , turning to the gaoler , she tripped gaily to the cell . Attempted Suicide . —Sarah O'Brien , a woman sixty-two years of age was charged with having attempted to commit suicide . R . Caxall , a constable
employed in the Regent's Park , deposed that on the J » revious evening he saw the prisoner snspended rom the branch of a tree , a piece of cloth heing tied round her neck . Ho cut her down , and after some time sho recovered , when she said that distress had drivea her to act in tho way she had done . She promised that nothing of a like nature should occur again . Tho prisoner in defence said that she had walked up from Birmingham , aud had been hawking laces , » fcc ., about the streets ; she had no friends in London , and she knew not what to do . The magistrate remanded her till next Tuesday in order to afford time for further inquiry to be instituted respecting her .
Fires. Biiackfrur8-Road.--On Sunday Morn...
FIRES . BiiACKFRUR 8-RoAD .--On Sunday morning , about four o ' clock , a fire broke out in thc extensive range of promises belonging to Messrs . White , Green well , ana Co ., haberdashers , & e ., carrying on business at 53 , 54 , and 55 , Blackfriavs-voad . The discovery was made by a police sergeant , who raised an alarm , and sent for the engines . After some trouble , the whole of the inmates , nearly fifty in number , male and female , were aroused from their slumbers . Thc building , however , was so full of smoke , that the residents made a precipitate retreat into tbe street in their night clothes . When the engines arrived , the flames wore raging furiously in the first floor . The shop below contained the stock in trade , valued at nearly £ 20 , 000 , and the firemen were obliged to carry the hose of their engines into that
portion of the premises . An abundance of water was scattered over the flames ; but they were not extinguished until that portion of the premises in which the disaster commenced was burned out , and the lower part damaged by water , < fcc . Mr . Braidwood reports the damage done as follows : " Front sitting-room on first floor burned out ; eight or ton yards of flooring and joisting burned through into shop . The goods in south-east corner of shop damaged by water , and upper part of house by smoke and heat . Forty or fifty feet of plate-glass broken . " The firm was insured in the Sun , Royal Exchange , Legal and Commercial , West of England , Law Defender , and Norwich Union Fireoffices .
Disastrous Fire in the Mixories . —On Tuesday night , at a few minutes before 11 o ' clock , a fire broke out in the spacious range of premisess numbered 238 and 239 , Minorios . The buildings , which were of a considerable depth , were five floors high , and at the time of the outbreak it is feared that the whole of the residents were within . If so , there is every ground for supposing that one , if not two parties have perished . Police constable 529 of the city force , first saw smoke in huge volumes rolling out of the first floor windows . In the course of a few minutes several parties made their escape down stairs ; but the females were so frightened that the constahle was obliged to enter the building and pull them out . By the time that this could be accomplished the flames had burst through the front window on the first floor . The Royal Society ' s fireescape from Aldgate-pump was at the scene in the course of a few minutes after the outbreak , when
tho parties who had escaped cried out that several persons were in the upper part of the premises , and begged of thc escapeman to save them if possible . The conductor placed his machine in front of the house , and whilst ho was at the top attempting to search the upper rooms , the flames shot out m a body , fired the canvas bagging ot the escape , and it was with the greatest difficulty that the escapeman in trying to save the live of his fellow creatures , had not himself fallen a prey to the fury of the fire . Several engines speedily reached the scene , when the firemen found the flames ascending so high into the air as to endanger the adjoining property . Tho engines , however , iiaving been well supplied with water , were set to work , and by a little after twelve o ' clock the fire was extinguished , but not until the whole of the premises from the ground-floor were burned .

The Franklin Expedition . —Tho following are extracts from a letter received at Plymouth from an officer on board her Majesty ' s ship Plover , lying at the Sandwich Islands , Commander Thomas * E . L . Moore . The letter bears date August 23 rd , and the writer says : — " We left Calio on the morning ofthe 8 th of last month , intending to have gone to Behring ' s Straits direct , without touching anywhere ; but , knowing there were despatches at this place waiting our arrival , Captain Moore thought it just as well to peep in here , in hopes that a few stray letters might have been left here as well Nothing of any importance has occurred since leaving Caho—just the every-day business of a sea-life . You shall hear from me again on her return from the ice to Panama ; that will be the last opportunity wo shall have till next year .

Letter From As Exile.
LETTER FROM AS EXILE .
" Hamburg , Feb ., 1849 . " Dear A , —I hasten to acknowledge the receipt of yours , which came 3 uly to hand , and also to inform you that my wife and family have arrived safe , after a very fine passage , and I have got my son into employment , although the wages are but small ; still every little helps . You will be so kind as to give my best respects to tho Committee , and toll them that myself and family return them and the friends of freedom our sincere thanks for the assistance they rendered , in order to restore a disconsolate wife \ and children to an exiled husband and father , whoso only fault was that of love of his country , and his determined opposition to tyranny in any and every shape—and , although at present an exile , I hope the day is not far distant when the reign of despotism will ceaso , the hardy sons of toil re ap the fruits of thcir industry , and democracy , with all its attendant blessings , be predominantthen will the hearts of all who have struggled and suffered for the cause be gladdened .
tiivc my best respects to Mr . O Connor , and toll him that it gives me great pleasure to think that he has been able to keep himself out of tho snares that h ive been laid for him , and I sincerely hope he may live to see the day when he will be repaid for all the fatigue and difficulties he has undergone for an oppressed people . Remember me to Kydd , M'Grath , and all those noble patriots who have struggled for the cause . Tell them to be in no way daunted by the misfortunes which have happened to us , but rather let our mishaps act as a stimulant , and a beacon to guard and warn them of spies and traitors . In conclusion , allow me once more to return my thanks to those friends who contributed towards my escape—viz ., the friends at Hull , York , Darlington , and , especially , Stockton . "I trust some kind friend will occasionally send me a Star to illuminate my darkness—for , although an exile from my native land , my heart is in the cause , and my prayer , night and day , is for thc success of the cause of " Right against Mig ht , " "Joh . v Rose .

Although the top price of town-made flour remains nominally the same , French is obtainable at Is to 2 s per sack lessmouev , say 33 s to 34 s per 2801 bs , Liv-ebpooi . Mahket , March 9 . —There was a small attondauce of the trade at this morning ' s market , and the business done in wheat and flour was quite in retail , at a reduction in some instances of Id per bushel and Cd per barrel . Oats were Jd per bushel cheaper , and oatmeal 3 d to Cd per load also . There was scarcely any demand for barley , beans , peas . The best yellow Indian corn scarce , brought Tuesday ' s rates , viz ., 29 s Cd to Ws for flat and round corn , but the secondary qualities of white and mixed were Gd per qr cheaper than on Tuesday . Fine yellow Iudinn meal sells at lis to lis Cd per ban-el .
Mark-lane , Monday , March 12 th . —Our market continues thinly supplied with English wheat , but the quantity of Foreign arriving daily is more than sufficient to meet the demand , which was again very languid to-day , and pife since Monday last have declined Is to 2 s per qr . Foreign flour was fully Is per sack mid barrel cheaper , but met mm buyers . In line malting barley we had no alteration , but grinding aud distilling sorts were very dull and rather cheaper . Malt continues slow sale . Fine beans and srroy peas sold fully as dear , but white peas dull and ratlwr lower . ^ For rye we had no demand . Tares very dull and declining . Fine oats maintained their price , but the trade was heavy , as the dealers look for better supplies with the first change of wind . Cloverseeds remain the same as last week .
CATTLE . Smithfield , Monday , March 12 . —The supply of foreign stock here to-day was very moderate , and for tlie most part , beneath the middle quality . AU breeds were dull in the extreme , and quite 2 d per 81 bs lower than last week . For the time of year , the arrivals of beasts fresh up t onus morning's market from our various grazing districts wmo large and of unusually prime quality . Compared with those reported on Monday last , they show a considerable excess both as to weight and condition . Notwithstanding the attendance of buyers was tolerably good , the beef trade , from thc increase in the supply , was very dull . Thc primest Scots , & c , sold at about stationary prices , viz .. fsomSsfol to 3 s 8 d per Slbs , but the value of all other breeds declined 2 d per Slbs . At thc close of the market a large munlu'i- of beasts were turned out unsold . The supply of sheep was larger than that shown on this day sc ' mught , and of fair average quality . All breeds of sheep experienced a very duU inquiry , aud the quotations gave way 2 d per Slbs . Tte highest figure for Downs , in the wool , was 4 s ( id , out of ( to wool , Is per Slbs . About one-third of the sheep on otM were shorn . Calves were in short supply , and fair denial ^ at last week ' s prices .
Friday , March 9 The supply of meat at market tl' »' morning was larger than usual for Friday , and . 1 » conSL ' - quence , trade was not quite so good as would otherwise have been the case , from the favourable state of the weather . Prices similar to those of Monday .
