' The Daphne Baa to leeward at the time , bat wore about on the starboard tack and ( food towards the brute , which wai leen foaming ani lashing tbe water at a fearful rate . Upon
the brig nesting however , it disappeared , and though ivideo ' tly wounded , mado rapidly , off at the rate of between fifteen and slxiee * knots an hour , as was judged from its appealing several times open the inrfacr . Th » Daphne pursued for some time , bat tbe night coming on the master was obliged to put about and continue ' bis voyage . From the detcrlptisu ; given r-y tbe mate , tbe brute must have been nearly' 109 feet long ; and bis account of it agrees in every respect with that lately forwarded to the Admiralty by the master of the Dadalui . The packet of letters to Boston , I have no doubt , contain the foil particular ! , which I suppose will be made public .

EXTBAOKDIHARY BUHQLABT AT MaiDBIONB . — Ol Thursday night week , one of the most singular and daring robberies we ever heard of was committed in Maidstone . Mr Filmer , proprietor Of the Temperance coffee-house , Week Street . after having retired to rest at a ' iate hour , was awoke from a sound sleep by finding a man's hand placed forcibly over hie mouth , and another ever his eyes , pressing his head down on the pillow , while at the same instant some one got on . him as he lay in bed , and held him down . A handkerchief was then passed round his head and tied tightly over his mouth , gagging and almost
suffocating him ; his hands were tied together with a stout twine , and a' cord was passed across his body , from one side of the . bed to the other , completely tying him down . All -this time the poor fellow was so completely prostrated , by surprise , fright , and the violence used towards him , as to , be totally . incapable of the least resistance . ' Being pinioned , and gagged in the manner described , one of his assaihnte , said to the other , in a , feigned voice , ' Djn'thurJb him ; I know he ' s got some money . here . ' His eyes were then released , and he saw two men-leave the room , one of whom had under his arm bis cash-box , which on retiring to reft he placed on the floor , near the bed . One of the fellows bad on . a velveteen coat , with his face covered with crape ; the other Wore a
fustian jacket , and had bis face blacked , It was moonlight , and , ^ they : were distinctly visible . They Were afterwards beard in the . front room , adjoining the ' bedroom , where thtey broke open . a cupboard and took away some clothes and a timepiece , and also downstairs , where they emptied two children ' s money , boxes of their contents , about twelve shillings , and carried off an Old . silver watch with a broken hand , which hung pn the mantelpiece . The Cash-box unfortunately contained upwards of £ 60 , being a sum prepared tq . meeta . paymentof , grocery , which was due on quarter day , and to raise which Mr Filmer bad been making the ' greatest exertions for some months previously . Unfortunately no due . has ; been found to discover the thieves , though 'strong suspicions exist . " , '

the Justice room . In the ; former examination the reporters and foe public were most unjuswaWy excluded from the inquiry . The magistrates , having discovered that they had acted illegally by holding the examination with closed doors , the Act of the Attorney General , passed during the late session , setting forth that all summary convictions must take place in open court , the court yesterday was thrown open . The charge made by the female in question , a good-looking well-educated person , was to compel the payment of the maintenance ol a child , of which the noble defendant was alleged to be the father . Her evidence went to show that her first acquaintance with Lord F . Beauolerk took place in that town in October 1846 , ; Thsy " mef . again about
August , 1847 , when'his lordship ; endeavoured to prevail on her to remain the pight with him , which she refused . About a fortnight afterwards she again met him , and they passed the . night . together at a house in Humber Street . The result was that she found in two months she was enceinte , and gave birth to a child on the 20 th of April last . She was positive the defendant was the father of it . She had lived with a man named BojJrinsbn since October as his wife until the beginning : of the year . When she found herself in the position before mentioned she wrote to Lord Frederick , 'upon which he sent her £ 5 . The night she passed with Lord Frederick was about the 10 th or 11 th of August . Two witnesses confirmed her eyidenor , and ' supported the fact of
hia lor . dahip and the complainant being seea in company at the above stated time ; Oa the part of the defence , witnesses ' . were . called to show that , at the time the offence was alleged to have been committed , his lordship was sto ' pping . at Scarborough . One witness produced the beck from the Royal . Hotel at ill it place , containing the name of Lord Frederick llaauclerk , and another witness handed in the Scabuououqh Gazette of the 14 th of' August , in which was inserted the name of his lordship ; as one . of the visitors at Scarborough . Other witnesses spoke to having seen his lordship at Scarborcugh , three weeks before the 21 st of : August , and of his subsequently visiting Maplethorpe . J . Lazenby stated hehad seen the complainant a great many times with a mac
named Hopkmson . Had also frequently seen her with a person named Gee . She lived with flopkinson as his wife . He had also feen her , with a man named Barnaby in a field at ten e ' clock ' at night .. The magistrates retired , and after being' absent about a quarter , of a hour , the . chairman said that they had given the case a . very . impartial consideration , and decided that ' . Lord . Frederick Beauolerk was the fatherbf the'ohild , ' and'therefore , adjndged him to pay 2 } fid per week for ' its maintenance ,,, with the costa ' that had ken incurred .

was proceeding across some fislds , fifty or sixty yards from the main road to this , town , to his work , when he discovered the body of a female lying'by the side of a hedge near to a dltob , Perceiving that the unfortunate creature was dead , he Immediately gave the alarm , and several persoui hastened to the spot . To . appearance tbe woman seemed to have been about forty years of age , Her clothes indicated that she bad been 'hop . plug . ' Her bead , face , neck , and shoulders exhibited one mass of bruises , the blood from which hadoompieteiy saturated h ^ r clothing , and here and there on tbe ground were pools of hhjod , which , coupled with the strong faVt that tbe ' turf and ground about tbe spot were trodden , bore is conclusive proof that the wretched creature had bad a deadly encounter with one or more
partite . Close to her feet ' was a bundle , which was found to contain a handkerchief , ) a m ' anV shirt ( dirty ) , a black-handled table-knife , wore down at the Made , and a tobacop-boi . Several , medical gentlemen were then called to examine as to the cause of the , unfortunate' woman ' s death . Appanntly life had not been extinct more than twentyifour hours . The dreadful braises and lacerations . whioh almost covered the head , face , heck , aud shoulders , had been inflicted , by sharp flint ' stones , and heavy hicki ; froip ! , nail ( . d . boos . So possible object can be assigned for .. tbe commission of the crime except pluuder . ' Ht > ' r clothes were yerv much torn , her pockets were turned out and emptied of tbeir contents ; with the exception of a pinny pit ca , all had boen taken from her . Tbe . following is the deioription ^
of tbe deceased , as taken , by the coroner , which it ii hoped will lead to the identity of the unforiunate creature : — 'About ' 40 years of age , five feet three inches high , dark brown hair slightly turning grey , brown eja » , feature * weU formed , nose and bnln ^ rather potated , some of the front toetkont , dressed in old black ( traW bohnet trimmed with black and satin ribbon , night cap With tape strings , a blue spqttei . cotton handkerohUf , a cottea white and ' claret striped dress , with deep tuck , brown petticoat , jean stays ) calico chemise , black stock ., logs , low tie shoo * , the right ene patched op the near side , a pocket made of striped linen tick , a woollen black

The coroner and jury decided on adjourning the inquiry , for the two . fold purpose of enabling tbe police to tffeot the identification of the murdered woman , aud the capture of tbe party or parties who perpetrated the crime , In the event of their apprehension , however , not being accomplished , wprelocutions ; , will be made to the' Secretary of State Sir G .
