Oxigh ( Ibil and ) , Wednesday . I Root Jthe Roveb . —Robert O'Riely , alias George lietidy , aZtuaBobert Alexander , alias ( Jeonge Rowan , alias tain-. *!) O'Seil , was placed in the dock yesterday , -mupre . enenfc-d by the grand jury as being a vagrant , having no ettttled place of residence . Prisoner , a small middle-aged wan , dressed in what might be termed the " shahbv etenteel" style , stood forward in the front of the duck , amd ia a shriU , but bold tone of voice , pleaded not guilty , dill the females and juveniles in the court were then irirdercd to withdraw . After the court being thus cleared , fair . Schoales , Q . C ., proceeded briefly to state the nature f f the case as it afterwards appeared in evidence . —James Mourns examined : I know the prisoner ; he lived at my laouse for some time ; he represented himself to mens
iseicg a person named Robert Alexander , son of the Rev . slur . Alexander , and grandson to Lord Belmore ; when he f tame tomy house , he told me that he had been witness to ihe shooting of clergymen in the south , and that he had KKfen persecuted by the Roman Catholics because he w ; S ggoing to swear against them there ; he also told me that one had an estate in the county of Cavan , at a placet-ailed HDromkeeran , and that he would not allow me to remain eunuch longer in Tyrone , because I was living in a rascally [ part of it ; he told me that he would give me twelve acr- ( Of land on his estate when he would get it , and he was to lhave paid £ 6 forme , which I was due another man ; he 1 also pretended that he was a friend to my mother , and i used to be counting relationships with her ; he also told - me that he was then about t *» get a remittance of £ 2 o out
( Of his Cavan estate . —Court : Did he get it ? ( Laughter . * — Witness : If he did no person saw it ( Laughter . )—Examination continued : When he came first to my house lie was much disgusted with * the houses of my neighbours ; he used to put his hand to his nose to prevent his inhaling the smell from their dung-pits . ( Laughter . ) Shortly after that time I took a suspicion of him , and I wrote off to a relation of mine who lives at Drumkeeran , in the county of Cavan , about him and his estates . Ha wrote me back that such a person was unknown there . After I received this letter I made it known to the neighbours . When I spoke to my neighbours they told me stories which he had been circulating among them to my ill fame . The prisoner had left my house at that time , hut he came hack again . The evening on which he
came I met my hoy , who told me that the " wee gentleman" was come back . ( Laughter . ) That was the name we used to call him by . As soon as he saw me he wished to make his exit again . ( Laughter . ) I wished to have an explanation of certain matters , but he ran off out of my house , where he was at the time , and took up in tbe house of a mau named Crazier ; in Grazier ' s he passed himself for being the wife ' s cousin . —Court : Prisoner , have you any questions to ask witness?—Prisoner : ' Witness , you would not allow me to leave your house . — "Witness : I did not know yon were the rascal you are . —' Prisoner : Tour mother went round the country claiming kindred with me , because , although I am arraigned at the bar , I ameomeofhighaudnoblehlODd . ( Laughter . ) < —Hugh O'Neil Ciamined : I know the prisoner : he is I
the person who called himself O'Neil , O'Riely , Alexander , and all the other names ; 1 saw him last winter ; I saw him ia the house of the last witness ; he left it , and went to live in Crozier ' s , who thought that he was a relation of his ; he slept in my house for one night ; on that occasion he slept with myself ; I rose up before morning , and ordered him out ofthe bed , and out of my house , because I thought he was an imp ; he left my house in the morning ; 1 am not certain where he went to ; I heard that he went to the house of a person named Donaghee . —To tbe Court : I heard that he was under the character of leaving his own country for being present at a murder of a magistrate . —To Mr . Schoales : The prisoner told me that he once attended a gentleman up the country as a purrasile for six years . —Prisoner : When did I tell yon
that!—Witness : When you were leaving my house . — Prisoner : No ; I told you what your neighbours said of you ; they said that you were a had character , who used to dress ia female ' s clothes aud go about to pass bad notes . My lord , lam a persecuted man ; I swore against tbe man who murderid a very good gentleman , Mr . Bell Booth ; I got a man arrested for him , and I was persecuted ever after ; I got two more arrested in Fermanagh ; I was brought before Sir Edward Tierney , the crown solicitor ; 1 was introduced to him by Mr . Dunstable , a magistrate ; these two men I gotpnt in gaol for a length of time ; oh , I have been persecuted .- —Edward M'Gucklan examined : The prisoner told me that he was present at a murder in the county of Caran ; he said that he was the only witness in the case ; I remember seeing him at
the lough shore at Caltagh ; he then made some very improper propesals to me ; he asked me if there was anything to do in the hay-yard ; I said no ; says he , does there be anything taken ontof it ! no , says I , come into James Collins ' s , for I wanted to get rid of hiui . —To the Court : I wished te get rid of him , because he gave me to understand that he was a heraiorphredite . —Prisoner ( in a violent rage ) : You don't know that there is a Godabore you . Dont damn yourselves , for you know that jou are all damning yourselves . [ Here the appearance of the prisoner became almost demoniacal . Mis small grey eyes shono brilliantly with anger ; his thin bloodless lips were parted , showing his bare white teeth , which were gnashing with passion ] . He exclaimed , " you are damning yourselves to the lowest . ¦; voureturned me 'evil
for good and hatred for my love ; ' you are all in a conspiracy against me , every one of you . " ( Here the wretch became so choked with the violence of his passion as to be unable to give utterance to any more of his blasphemous imprecations . Hor would Ijhave reported those above Were it not to shovr the public the true character delineated by one of themselves , of those unfortunate tools of government , professional swearers . —His Lordship briefly charged the jury , who in one moment retraced a verdict of Guilty . Sentence , seres years' transportation . Previous to the passing of the sentence the p risoner made use of some of the most blasphemously indelicate expressions possible for the worst and most abandoned human being to conceive . It is no wonder that the witness O'Neil believed him to be an imp ; and yet this devil has been made the man and tbe Christian unmade , by the influence of government blood money . The prisoner is the man , as he himself boasted , on whose information poor Beany was arrested and confined in Caran Gaol for the murder of Mr . Bell Booth . The time has come when an enlightened government should feel ashamed of using such base and mercenary tools as this infamous " Body theJlover . "
KlLDAEE ( IhELANDJ . A Villain . —At these assizes a man named James Quigley was indicted for the murder of a poor cripple who resided near Xaas , by shooting him through the head . The principal evidence against the prisoner was an accomplice who had become approver ; and the disclosures of atrocities , outrages , and crimes which that accomplice freely made , have perhaps never been exceeded in tbe career of one so young in years . There were witnesses examined on the trial who corroborated iu some Collateral points til" approver's evidence ; nuch at that the prisoner and the informer had been in cmnjmiiy together on the day of the murder . The jury , uoluithst-nidiug , acquitted Quigley , manifestly under the iin | , r < K « iui that it was not he , hut Keilfy , who had i-iun . ' i-ic'l the pour cripple . Qaigley , however , will not utti-rj y i-seapr , as he is under sentence of transportation for iifiei-n yearn fur a robbery committed with Reilly , ontheui ^ hisiiliHi-ipicnt to that on which Donnelly was inurdere-i . I ' cil ' y has , escaped punishment of any kind . The following is the j vidence : —Francis Beiliy ( an approver ) < -x :. miiic < l by Mr . Corbally , Q . C . * I know the prisoner ahum three years ; I was with him on the 23 rdSeptemb \ -r Inst in Maynooth and Dublin ; we went to Maynooth from Dublin , and stopped at a lodging-house ; left it about seven O'clock next moraiug , and went through Sallins and

.. . . - » ., t ,. Hia in Sallins ; before wo ** . »¦; stopped in a P- ^^ r ^ e ofCluster ' s vent to jMayro , th « -gj ^ u ** the p ris oner nan went to a p u » tvvo Connaught men LeLLU ^ eni ^ e were eoinsto vob ^ Seo tchnan who -vas in a gig , *¦»* »* o l ™ m C » stlek- ely ; w « had agreed to rob him when he was going home at night ; I suggested that we should rob the Connaught men , but the prisoner said wo should getmore with the Scotchman ; it was dark when we left Powel ' s ; we then went to Caragh , about three and a half miles ; we had the pistol ; wc went into a public-house at Caragh ; we then wmt about a quarter of a mile and sat down to light a pip «; we struck a match ; there were two women coming up at the cross road towards Caragh , and they met aman ; there is a gravel pit there ; the prisoner and 1 were on
the corner ot the ditch ; the night was dark ; the women asked the man if he saw a light , and he said "yes ;" when the prisoner leaped up aud said he would show him light , and then a tussle ensued for a while , when the risoaer called me to assist him ; the women were going n then , and I turned one of , them back ; I desired the prisoner to put it ( meaning the contents of the pistol ) through him , as that was a password ; he had the pistol hi Ms hand , and he fired the shot at the man ; I was a vard behind the man , and some of theshot wlmasd by my cur ; Quigfcy fired the shot and the man fell ; I stepped over his body ; saw the prisoner next day in Dublin ; we went into a public-house , and saw an account of the murder in the Freeman ' s Journal ; that was ou a Friday ; we met at Bianchardstown that evening with a person named Doyle , where we robbed a man ; I was arrested in the Castle-yard , but I don ' t know what brought me ihere . Cross-examined by Mr . Gorman : I swear I don't know what brought me to the Castle-yard ; I had business
there , but did not think of what it was till I went there ; 1 went to the Castle-yard to give myself up for the robbery , but I did not think of that till I west in there ; it was an hour after I went there that I thought of it . I am twenty-one years of age , as 1 have heard . Mr . Gorman : How did you support yourself for the last threo years ! By monej . ^ Mr . Gorman : Got honestly ? Yss ; some of it I borroieed from men . —Mr . Gorman : Borrowed from men with a pistol at their heads 1 Yes . —Mr . 6 or « man : And that ' s what you call getting money honestl y ? Witness : Of course , I got money anyway I could ; if 1 got it honestly so much the better , but if not , I robbed ; you know you get money honestly if you can , but whsn 1 could not get it that way , why I procured it in the best manner I could ; can't form the most remote idea of the number of outrages , robberies , and crimes I have been engaged in . I can't go within twenty of the number . Can ' t tell within ten of how many houses I have broken into and robbed . —Mr . Gorman : Tell me within nva
times of how often you were tried ? Oh , I was seldom caught , jou know . I generally put in another in my place , and that was my business to the Castle . My conscience smote me when the man was murdered , and I went out and committed a highway robbery next night . I was afraid I would be hanged , and then my conscience smote me , so I said I would save it and my neck together . I thought at much of my neck , if not more , than I did of my conscience . I fuel great inward quakingg now . If yon were a priest or minister I would tell you mora about it . —Mr . German * . If I were I would not wish to
have such a parishioner as you . Witness : You might hive a | worse , I assure jou I—Mr . Gorman '• On year oath , do you think there is as great a villain as yourself breathing the breath of life this moment ! Witness : 1 don ' t think there is . —Mr . Gorman : Do you think , from Adam to tbe present day there ever existed a greater villain than you are ! I think not ; I carried a pistol myself according to circumstances ; we had only one pistol at the Bianchardstown robbery , and Quigley had it ; I had it iu the park that day ; the stock of the pistol was broken before that , but I cannot say howlong ; it was broken before the murder ; Doyle was with us at Bknchardstown ; when I met Quigley in Barrack-street , I told him I supposed the man was dead ; I was taken up ; myaccountof the robbery at thetrial was
that ! was not there at all ; Doyle gave me a whip that he took from one ofthe men ; I always assisted at robberies , and often knocked down men , but wottld not like to kill a man ; " put It through him" was a password , not to put t ie contents through him ; mycomradeunJerstoodthatas to frighten the man ; told the story eight days after the trial to an inspector of ^ police iu Bridewell-lane ; went tO give myself up as a person concerned in the deed - , can't say where Doyle was the night of the murder , but met him next day at the Kiug ' s-bridge ; did not tell him a word about the murder ; he was an old orapanion and friend of mine , aad I parted him near King ' s-bridge and went tsTighe-street ; met him next day in a pubUc-viouse in Barrack-street ; the prisoner a « keu Doyle to come to Bianchardstown to commit the robbery ,
which we thought no crime at all ; we three olten went out— m > often , that I can't tell ; we would rob any one or any place , and did so for years . We were regular old partners m crime' I know the prisoner four years or more , nnd was acquainted with him before we robbed several places in the county of Dublin , Doyle and I were robbers and housebreakers long before we knew the prisoner . Doyle always carried a pistol , powder , aud shot . He carried the same sort of shot as was found in the man ' s head , and so did I . Doyle aud I are seven y ears on the Toad , and we have committed all sorts of crimes . —To the jury : I don ' t expect to get any reward . I do it all out of pure and disinterested motives . Never heard of a reward . The crime lay heavy on ray mind , I assure you . A juror : Of course you told the story to save your neck ! Witness : Of course I did .
Nottingham , Fkidat . Chabge or Manslaughter . —Joseph Rollinson , aged 34 , engineer , and William Longdon , aged 18 , engineer , both in the employ of Messrs . Wakefield , North , and Morley , were charged upon the coroner ' s inquisition , held at UuttaU , on the 25 th of August last , with feloniously killing and slaying Thomas Soar . Mr . Wildman stated the ease , and called Joseph Barton , overlooker at the Cinderhill Colliery , in tbe parish oflfuttali , who said—The deceased , Thomas Soars , was employed in tbe pit on Friday , the 22 nd of August . There is a cage used for tbe purpose of lifting coals from the pit , which is worked by means of a steam-engine . Joseph Rollinson had the care of the engine that day , and was assisted by William Lorn-don as stoker . There is a bell in the
engine-house , the handle of which is at the bottom of the pit . It was Itollinson ' s duty to remain in the enginehouse and watch the bell , and it is also hU duty to set the engine at work , in obedience to the signals . Rollinson had been employed as engineer about a year or more , and Longdon had been his assistant for nearly the whole of that time . It is tbe duty of an engineer to let an engine stand when no signal is given . ' When the bell rings once , it is a signal to go ou if the engine be still , skid if it be in motion it is a signal to stop . This is a regular rule at Babbington Colliery , as well as at Cinderhill . At the time the accident happened , I was gone to breakfast , and as I was returning , 1 heard that a man had got killed . The banksmen were about the mouth ofthe pit , and the two prisoners were in tbe engine-room . Moses Barton—I am overlooker of the machinery at Cinderhill Colliery , and was so at the time of Soar ' s death . I have repeatedly told both prisoners never to go on without the signals . It is well known that when a man is coming up , or is
standing on the cage , he should shout" hold on . " He should not touch the cage until he bus given this signal . ( Other witnesses proved that the deceased omitted . d »\ T > gth \» . ) Langdon has frequently been allowed to do very important duties , because he is steady and intelligent . On this occasion , having charge of the engine at the moment of the accident , I think he made a mistake by being overanxious . At the time the accident occurred , the cages were being drawn up , minute by minute , alternately . There are two shafts to the pit , and the depth of each is 220 yards . The cages were brought up emptied , and let down again , alternately , in the short space of one minute . I am not aware that Rollinson was the cause ofthe death of a man in a similar way a fortnight before , although one was killed . Other witnesses proved that Langdon had the management of the engine at the moment of tho accident , and Rollinson was set aside , being exempted from the charge by his lordship ; and after a very able defence by Mr . Macauley , the other prisoner was acquitted by the jury .
Satubdat . The Chabge ofMubuer atNewabk . —William Horner , butcher , of Newark , aged eighteen years , and William Haselby , labourer , of Newark , aged seventeen years , were charged upon the coroner ' s inquisition , held at Neivarkupon-Trent , the 6 th day of March instant , with the wilful murder of Mary Ann Perkins , single woman , aged fifteen years , by throwing her into the Trent . The grand jury found a true biU against Horner ; but in obedience to the recommendation ofthe Chief Justice , acquitted Haselby , as no evidence could be adduced against him , further than the confession of the other prisoner . —The case for the prosecution was conducted by Mr . Wilmore , and Mr . Macauley defended the prisoner . The prisoner was a butcher at Newark , and William Haselby down to the
day ofthis occurrence had filled the office of "boots" at the Swan and Salmon public-bouse , when he was dismissed from that service . It appeared that shortly before eleven o ' clock on tbe night in question the prisoners met iu Newark the unfortunate deceased , who some time previously had left the home of her parents at Leicester and taken to a bad life . The charge against the prisoner was , that he bad been guilty on the night in question of the murder of tlte deceased , and tbe suggestion for the prosecution was , that he and the other joung man , Haselby , having met the deceased , had induced her to accompany them to the back yard ofthe Swan and Salmon public-house for improper purposes , and , after the twofold accomplishment of a purpose , thence to the ioek-gates of the Newark division of the Trent navigation , where the prisoner had alone , or in conjunction with Haselby , wrapped her shawl over her
neck and face , to the depth of nine or ten inches three or four times , with the object of preventing her crying out or otherwise making au alarm , and then thrown her into the water , where she was drowned , and the dead bodypicked up on the following morning . Suspicion fell upcu the prisoner , and he was brought , ou the next day ( Wednesday ) , in custody bcturc Mr . T . P . A . 1 ' unuiby , the coroner , at the inquest upon the body , where Hibhert , the lock-kee \ ier , deposed to the fct & ct , that he wont to bed a few minutes before eleven o ' clock , and whilst he was undressing by the light of a candle , iu the front room of his house , heard the footsteps of three or four persons going along , and the sound of voices , among which was that of a woman . The sound ol hot a /< pi-ared to him to come from the bottom of the jard of tho Swan and Salmon public-house . Then heard the sound of feet as if passing rapidly to and fro , and subsequently heard one man cry out once loudly , " Come , look sharp ! " as for
Asfcne Tntelligeiite*
help ; and next somebody ' passing rapidly over thetlookbridge . The sound of one cry only reacjiodhis ours , It was a boisterous night . Ho then opened the window and saw distinctly the prisoner Horner , whom he well knew , and whom , being without'his hat , he supposed to have gone over to a loaded boat to try aud get it out of the water , run , in a hurried and confused manner , ba . k over the lock-gate , and up a passage which led into the Town-street . Closed the window and went to bed . The light that he was undressing by was in sight , and within sig ht of the lock gates . The next morning got up shortly after six o ' clock , and saw four or five men' vainly endeavouring to move the lock gate . Thought ho saw in the opening ofthe te cloth of some sortand looked more clos . iy .
gaa , and then saw a body , which they got ™ V » f ™ proved to be thatofdecoa . ed . Her shawl " »• * " «• ' « tightly , as above described , but not fa . tened with any knot , or pin , or other thing . J > W ** f » " * ' ° f ' The witness deposed to the same sftect to-day-Ja ... Greaves said : I knew the deceased Mary Ann Perkins . On Tuesday , the 3 rd of March , had seen her , and had been walking about with her . I set out to walk again with her about nins o'clock in tbe evening . She seemed to be in very good spirits . We walked round the town and met with a man against Middlegate . She left me , and told mo to wait for her agaiuit Mr . Sanders '; , the grocer . This if close to Taylor ' s gin-shop . She said she would not be many miuutea , 1 don ' t know tbe m « n ; I know Horner , but it was not ho . I never saw her
again . She was living by prostitution . The deceased had been living in Newark about two months . On the morning ofthe day I last saw her she appeared very unhappy nnd uncomfortable , and said she should like to get fresh ( drunk . )—Robert Dale said : I am one ot the Newark borough police , and apprehended the prisoner Horner , lis was in the market looking at iomio fowls , and said , " I know what you want me for ; lam innocent of the charge ; I never was with the girl—in fact , I don ' t know her . " When I was putting the irons on him at Newark , previous to bringing him to Nottingham Gaol , after his committal , and when Haselby sat beside him , standing on his legs , he said to the crowd , "Gentlemen , this is the man ( pointing to Haselbv ) who threw the girl into the river . " Thomas Spencer said : I brought the
prisoners to Nottingham on their eonunitul , Al ne were coming on the road , we stopped at Ratcliffe , where I gave them something to eat aud drink . Horner said to Haselby , " You can neither eat nor drink , and I can . You are going to Nottingham to be judged , and you'llhave to confess before you die . " He afterwards said , "One told you to throw ber in , and another saw you do it . " Haselby said , " Aye , who 1 " Aud Horner replied , " Why , the devil told you to do it . " This occurred last Saturday . —Ann Yeomanson said : The deceased was my daughter hy my first husband . I saw her body at Newark , and identified it . Up to July last , she had always born * a good character , when sht suddenly left me , and I never saw her alive after . The witness was dressed in deep mourning , and was much affected—Mr .
Crott , surgeon of Newark : Had seen the deceased several times before her death . He had attended her for the venereal complaint . When he last saw ber she was suffer . ing very severely from secondary symptoms , and had everal large buboes on the upper part of the thigh and lowor part of the body . At the time he examined the body these sores remained . Tbe deceased had evidently struggled severely after having been thrown into the water . He had no doubt death was caused by drowning . There were no marks ups-a the body indicative of violence having been need to cause death . —Thomas F . A . Burnaby , gentleman , ceroner of Newark , produced the depositions taken on the inquest . Upon being cautioned , the prisoner said , " I don't know the deciased : I don ' t know that ever I saw her in my life . I was not near the
lock last night ; I went to bed at a quarter to eleven , and have witnesses to prove it . " On the second day he said , " I and another young man , named William Haselby , who lives at ' boots' at the Swan and Salmon Inn , st Newark , met a young woman , whom I do not know , near Mrs . Welltr's shop in Stodman-strect , on Tuesday night last , about half-past ten o ' clock . Weall went together down tbe Swan and Salmon yard , leading to the navigation side , and also to the lock entry from Caitle-gate , into a stable in the Swan and Salmon yard , We then went down to the water side , where I shook hands with the girl , and was goingup the lock entry , when Haselby called the girl back to look at a pole whieh wa « in the water . She did so , and was standing at the edge of tbe bank , whsn Haselby pushed her head first into the water , and ran
away ; he did not come back again . I ran to ber assistance , and did my best to get her out , but could not . She did not cry out . fbut I shouted for asaistance several times , and no one camo . I stayed until I could sec her no more , when I went away . If any one had come to my assist , ance , I could have got liar out . There was a pole floating in the water , and I tried to reach it , but could not ; if I could have got the pole I could have got her out , I then went to my lodgings in Parliament-street , and as 1 was going to the back door I saw Haselby knocking at the front . He asked me to let him in , but I said h « could not sleep with me that night , He then inquired whether I had got the woman out , aud I told him I bad not , but that if he had stoppsd 1 could havo done so . I saw him yesterday , when he said he did not msan to chuck the
girl into the water , but that he was fresh . He certainly was fresh , but not so much so as not to know what he was doing . " On the third day be msdy another state , ment , which was very similar to that given on the previous day . —Mr . Macauley , with much eloquence and at great length , addressed the jury , clearing up ma & y dark -mints against the prisoner with great advantage , and setting in the most favourable view every circumstance of a mitigating nature . The learned judge summed up very carefully and with much calmness , and impartially commented upon the various parts of the evidence . Whilst the jury were considering their verdict , Superintendent Whitworth came into the court in great haste , and informed the counsel and attorneys for the prosacution , that a female named Cree had just arrived from Kevrark to give evidence on the trial . She was not sure
which of the prisoners it was that committed the murder until she saw them , but that she saw a young man ( Horner , she believed ) , on the night in question , strike the deceased with a pole , wrap her head in her shawl , aud throw her into the Trent . His lordship , upon being informed ofthis circumstance , directed the woman ' s deposition to be taken . After about a quarter of au hour ' s consultation , the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty against the prisoner , Having perused the document of tli * strange witncie who had just arrived at the eleventh hour , the Chief Justice ordered Horner to be retained in custody , and discharged Haselby on his own recognisances to appear again when called upon . In the course of Saturday evening , Horner was discharged from custody in obedience to an order from the judge's lodgings , thus showing that uo reliance it placed on the testimony of the woman Cree .

Arson . —Joseph Way was indicted for lMalAciously setting fire to a stack of corn , the property OfMaryAflJl Biles , at Milborne St . Andrew . Prom the evidence it appeared that , on the evening of the 31 st Jan ., the prisoner and sonic others were drinking together at the Oak Inn , at Milborne St . Andrew , and that , between eight and nine o ' clock , the prisoner having prcviouslj left the house , an alarm of fire was heard . The persons drinking in the tap-room left the bouse , and they found the prisoner standing outside . He then exclaimed , pointing to the fire , " Look at that light there ! " One of the men said , it must be the moon , or the light from the mail-coach , which passed the spot at that hour . The prisoner said , " No . it must be a tire ; ' * and thereupon they went to the farm of Mr . Benjamin Biles , where they discovered a rick
of barley on lire . Thu prisoner assisted in extinguishing this lire , and he was heard to say , " This is enough to open any farmer ' s eyes . Rather than turn a man out that ' s got a family , they had better give him a sovereign to keep him in work . " The prisoner suddenly disappeared , and in a few minutes afterwards another lire was discovered within 300 yards of Mr . Bilcs ' s rick , and the prisoner pretended to be very active in extinguishing the names . This second fire proved to be a wheat stack belonging to the " Widow Biles ; " and it was given in evidence thut the prisoner said , whilst surrounded by the neighbours who were exerting themselves on theoeeasion , " Now ' syour time to speak out , because this fire will be blamed to those who are out of work , although they mightn't have anything to do with it more than other
Asfcne Tntelligeiite*
people . " A few uinutes ' after this he was met in a Katewiiy in the neighbourhood , running with all sneed ftoui tko directum of the second lire to the spot where the first fire took place . The person who tlien saw him came in close contact with him , and observing he was breathless and agitated , he said to him ; « Holloa , my friend , who are you ? " The prisoner made no answer , and tho witness toou hold of him , exclaiming , as he pointed towards the iirb , "Doyou see that—what is it ! " "It ' s a fire , " ha replied . " Witness said , "How do you know that 1 " and he made no answer . At this moment two gentlemen came up ou horseback , and , as they approached the prisoner and the witness , one of them exclaimed , " For God ' s sake opon the gats ! " The witness said , "No , I shall not open the gate till I know who thi » man is . " The prisoner then said his name was Joseph Way , and the witness immediately let him go and ran as fast as lie could to tho place whence the flames issued . The witness bad known Joseph Way boforo , but tho night was dark , and he did not recognise hiui at first
In addition to this evidence , it was proved that about ten minutes before the occurrence of the first fire , tbe pri-« ouer purchased a box of lueifer matches , and that during the second fire his conduct was so indecent , that the clergyman of the parish felt it his duty to reprove him . He made use of very violent lan S S ( and amused him . self by throwing dung at one of the persons present . He wns also observed to stivup tho fire with a pole , under pretence of putting it out , hut the clergyman fearing that ho was adopting means which might extend the Haines , desired the pole should be taken away from him . Subsequent to this evening , a few lueifer mutches were found in the prisoner ' s bed-room , and evidence was given to show that these did not belong to the same box which ho had purchased shortly before tho fire . Tho jury returned a verdict of Guilty . The prisoner was sen . tenced to transportation for life , and when taken from the bar , he strongly protested that he was innocent of the crime imputed to him . Tomcat .
Pierre Benard Mallet was indicted for the wilful murder of John Meckew , at Netherbury , on the 6 th Decernher . The prisoner , although he had been for many years in England , is still a frenchman ; he was therefore ankod whether be would be tried by a jury of English . IIICU Or a jury Consisting of half Englishmen and halt foreigners . He at once said , "By Englishmen . " It appeared that the prisoner was a kind of tramp , and was always accompanied by a woman who passed as his wife , but went by the name of Kitty . They travelled through uud about Dorsetshire , and were well known . The woman had lived with him for fourteen years . On the evening of the Gth of December , they were at Palmer ' s publichouse at West Clifton ; the woman became , v « y much
intoxicated , and the prisoner was anxious to get her away , and took up almost every person ' s cup of beer and drank out of it . Th * man and the woman cursed each other , and he held up a stick at ber aud threatened to beat her . The deceased was also in the bouse , and he said to the woman , I am going to Bridport , and I will see you . The womau said she had lived with the prisoner fourteen years , but she ) was not bis wife . That he was jealous of every one , and she would not live with him any longer . Some time was consumed in this jarring , and at last the prisoner left . Soon after the woman went out and then the deceased . Tlie prisoner bad gone to see some one , aud bad not proceeded in the direct road to Bridport ; but he afterwards overtook a man ( ll » per ) , and asked if be had seen a man and woman on the road .
Roper said he had not seen them , but . he could hear their voices at that moment , and directed the attention of the prisoner to that circumstance . The prisoner then said , "I've got a stick in my hand , aud if I catch them at something ( you know what ) , I'll give them a good beating . " He had & good-sized walking-stick with him . Roper and the prisoner then separated ; but in a few minutes , Roper heard two persons crying "Murder . " It appeared to proceed from a man and woman . He instantly started to the spot whence the sounds proceeded . ' He got into a field adjoining the turnpike-road , and looked over the hedge , saying , " Stop , they ' ve had enough . " The prisoner was then beating a man , who was on the ground . Tbe man was holding up his arm to prevent the blows striking his head . Theman so striking was
the prisoner , who said , " D—n your eyes , you ' re not half a man for me , " and he then gave him a blow with his list . The woman at this time was staggering about the road , cursing and swearing , and was as drunk as could be . Roper asked bim if tbe woman was bis -vile , aud prisoner said she Was , but the Woman said , "You ' re a liar ; I ' ve been with you many years , but I'll not go with you again . " The prisoner bad previously told Roper that he bad ought them in the fact . The woman was so drunk that she could not stand upright . Roper then went to the man on the ground , and told him to get up , and he would protect him . The deceased got up , went into an adjoining fie ' . i , and then lay down in a ditch . The woman went awu ^ , aud the prisoner followed her . Roper went back to the deceased , and talked to him for ten minutes , and told him
he would catch cold . Deceased said his arm was bi oken , the mau had beaten him so , and he would have him before his betters tbe next day . No ouo was then in liquor but the woman . In about an hour and a half after this , a woman , wholivednear Chilcott ' s public house , which was nearly two miles from the place wheie tha man was lying in the ditch , heard a noise outside her door . She went out and heard a groan , and then she saw it proceeded from a man who was lying in the mud in the road . A manofthe name ofBlddlecomb came and took the man , who turned out to be the deceased , by the arm , and begged him to get up , but he did not speak . The woman procured a caniuo , and then saw there was a wound in the deceased ' s face and head . The blood had dried over
the wound . The deceased never spoke . The woman went to Ctvilcott ' s publie-heuse . She afterwardK returned to the deceased , and Brown , the constable , came , and then some men carefully removed the deceased , and put him under a garden-wall in the road . The witness saw him about two in the morning , and he was then snoring . Every one thought he was druuk . The nexi morning ( Sunday ) , about six o ' clock , the deceased was , found where he was left the night before . Ho was quia dead , The prisoner had told seva'al persons that he hao caught the deceased with his wife , and had bun ten him well about his head and ears . —The jury returned a verdict of Guilty of Manslaughter . —The prisoner was fined a shilling , end discharged .

The priaoni-r , who was stated to be in the last stage of consumption , having been seated in the dock , Mr . Beadon , as counsel for the Crown , stated the facts ' of the case to the jury , which were briefly these : —The prisoner , with several others , amongst whom was the deceased , were drinking together at a public-house , when , as it seemed , in a frolic ( for all the witnesses agreed that there was no quarrel or ill-will subsisting between the partie- ) Doirell caught the deceased by thecollar ,. and threw him over his shoulder , apparently intending that he should alight on his feet . His strength , however , was unfortunately insufficient for the purpose , for the poor man fell upon the back of his neck , and sustained an injury ofthe spinal vertebra ; , inducing paralysis , and ultimately causing his death . Dorreli assisted in placing him in a chair , and brought a doctor , but afterwards absconded into Scotland . —Guilty . His lordship sentenced him to be imprisoned for one week .
Murder In St. Luke's. On Sunday Morning,...
MURDER IN ST . LUKE'S . On Sunday morning , at the early hour of three o ' clock , the immediate neighbourhood of Golden-lane , St . Luke ' s , became the scene of great excitement , in consequence of the following occurrence : —It appears that at the hour above mentioned , Mary Murray , a widow , was , together with several other parties , in a house in George-yard , GoJdcn-Janc—one of those sinks of iniquity so common in that district , termed private gin-houses—in which spirits are retailed to all sorts of characters , after tho regular taverns and public-houses are closed . Whilst there a young man named Martin Jennings , a bricklayer ' s labourer , went in , and the deceased and he were noticed for some time to be conversing together , when , all of n
sudden , Jennings called for a quartern of gin . Upon pulling his money out of his pocket , he said he had lost a shilling , and accused the deceased with having picked his pocket . The allegation was stoutly denied by the female , when high words ensued between them . From words they came to blows , and Jennings , with his clenched list , made an aim at Murray ' s lace , which he struck with great violence . Some of the people in the place tried to bring about a reconciliation , but the deceased still persisting that she had not taken the money , her antagonist gave her another dreadfui blow over tbe eye . The deceased then made for the door , and , having gained the court , was in the act of escaping to Golden-lane , when she was overtaken by Jennings , who gave her another violent
blow , which knocked her down upon her back , her head striking the wall of a dusthole as she fell . Mr . Inspector Tierney , upon being made aware of what had happened , sent a number of constables , with the stretcher , to convey the injured woman to Featherstone-street station-house . Upon her arrival there , she was immediately attended to by Mr . Mather , the divisional surgeon , who did all that the nature of her case would permit of , but without any beneficial effect , for she expired shortly after her admission . The body was , lit a subsequent hour of the day , removed to St . Luke ' s workhouse , where it will remain until the coroner ' s inquest is held . Jennings was apprehended in the neighbourhood , on charge of having caused the deceased ' s death . It is stated that the deceased has left three children .
Tub Inqukst . —On f ueaday forenoon a jury was impannelled before "W . lkker , Esq .. coroner for East Middlesex , at the Cumberland ' s Head Tavern Cityroad , to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Mary Murray , aged forty , a widow , who , it was alleged , had been brutally murdered by a young man named Martin Jennings , in George-yard , Goldenlane , on Sunday morning last . Mr . 11 . Courtney , No , 5 , Finsbury-tcrrace , surgeon stated that he had carefully examined the body , but could discover no external marks of violence . On opcnin < - the head , he
ionnd a small blow on the frontal bone over the rh-ht eye , but without any corresponding mark cxtevnaSlv ; the whole of the blond vessels covering the brain were gorged with black blood . On rcmsvim ; the dura mater , two ounces of blood was found effused under the araennoyd membrane , extending down to the spihal marrow , and the convolutions and ventricles of the brain were filled with blood aud serum . The immediate cause of death was the effusion of blood uiion the brain , which may have been produced bv excite ment , or the effects of a blow . Verdict , Manslau « hter against Martin Jennings ,

London * Smuhfikld Cattle Market , Monday , Mahch 10 , —The supply of meat at Smithfield this morning was short , and the attendance of town aud country butchers being good , with a desire to take stock , a brisk trade ruled for everything at similarly high prices to those for the past Jew months .

( id ., and inferior beef from 3 s . 0 * d . per stone . The supply of sheep was about 700 head below the return of this day last week , the number being 17 , 100 head . The demand for mutton wi . a
very lively , and fullv supported former quotations , viz . —5 s . Cd . for old downs , 5 s . 2 d . for halt-bred , and ii , id . for polled sheep . These rates appear to be the maximum rates for mutton under the influence ol die times . It is probably that prices will shortly become much easier , but opinions vary on this point .

Loss Of The Barque Francis Spaigjit, And...
LOSS OF THE BARQUE FRANCIS SPAIGJIT , AND TWENTY-ONE PEESONS . The ship England ' s Queen arrived in the Mersey on Monday afternoon from Bombay and the Cape of Good Hope , which latter port she left on the 19 th of January . This is the latest arrival from that quarter ; and to Captain Sheddings , the commander of the vessel , we are indebted for the Cape of Good Hops and Natal Shipping and Mercantile Gazette ofthe 9 th of January , conveying the followinu melancholy intelligence of the loss of the Francis Spaight : — * ' During the night between Tuesday and Wednesday last , it blew a violent gale from the northward , ami at six , a . m ., on Wednesday , the squalls were veiy
severe . " At eight o'clock , on the 3 IUh , the wind came more to the westward , in a hard squall , accompanied with torrents of rain , when the barque Francis Spaight , of 3 G 6 tons , from Manilla to London , was observed driving towards the strand , and an attempt was unfortunately made to set the mainsail , which , brought the vessel ' s broadside to the shore ; and in , this position , with tho mainsail aback , she continued to drive until she struck the ground near the slavo lodge , about a mile from the village of Papendorp , when , in consequence of being broadside to the beach , she rolled heavily , the sea occasionally breaking over her decks . A whale boat and a surf boat were sent
from Cape Town . The whale boat succeeded in getting alongside the barque , and a line was thrown over the vessel by tho rocket apparatus . The moment the boat touched the side , the crew of the barque , who appeared to have lost all presence of mind , rushed into her , when she was filled and capsized , and , sad to relate , the captain and fourteen men of the crew were drowned , together with four men of the boat ' s crew , named Thomas Williams , William Taylor , John Jackson , and diaries Norton . " A surf boat and another boat were also sent from the North Wharf , by Messrs . T . and J . Sinclair ; both boats capsized , and two men , named Dollie and Peter , were drowned .
" ibe following are the names of the crew saved , viz .: —James Robertson , carpenter and John Mc Leod , seaman . "Captain Patterson and the following men were drowned , viz .: —Thomas Harden , mate ; Magna Smith , second matt ; Henry Hiate , steward , * David Evans , Edward McDonald , George Hutchings , John ? . , " . h * of . Lcith '• Jo 1 m Smith , of Edinburgh ; and William Widder , seaman ; William Rymcs , cook ; John Mittin , Thomas Beddoe , William Hall , and Richard Parker , apprentices .
It ts exactly twenty-five years since a northerly gale occurred in Table Bay during the summer months ; and on reference to the Government Gazette ot tho year 1821 , we find that on the 4 th of January a . northerly gale , therein designated a hurricane , blew with great violence , when the Danish ship India I acket , and the English ships Borah and Emma , were stranded ; but we Relieve no loss of life then occurred . Had the heaikails of the Francis Spaight been set , instead of the mainsail , and the vessel run on the beach , stem on , and tbreed up by keeping the head sails upon her , it is very probable that the whole ot the crew would have been saved . " The vessel is broken in midships , and is a total wreck ; and very little of the cargo will be saved uninjured .
" The manifest and mail have not yet been found , but , so far as it has been ascertained , the cargo consisted of sugar , hemp , tobacco , cigars , rattans , and sundry other articlus . "
