      to be liberally paid . He refused to supply the arms , which , if the rumour be true , were to be employed against the military and the authorities . The best account of Mr . Macrcady ' s mode of leaving New York that lean find is the following : — _"ilr . . _Mncready left the New York Hotel , where he was living , and departed from the city at three o ' clock on Friday morning , accompanied by several of his friends . He expressed his determination to return no more for ever . His baggage was taken away yesterday morning , at five o clock , in charge of a friend . After the tiring of thc first round from the military , a Mend of Mr . Macready told Mm that there had been bloodshed , which seemed to affect hun very much . He threw up his hands and exclaimed , ' My God ! has mv appearance led to the

      sacrifice of human life I I wish I had adhered to my first resolution , and not yielded to the solicitations of my friends . They assured me there would be no difficulty . ' He thou retired to his dressingroom , and prepared to leave tiie theatre . _JUter havin 2 2 ot iafely to the Sew York Hotel , « was _deemed prudent by himself and friends that he should leave the city as soon as possible , lest an attack should be made upon that house . The uniform ofa soldier was procured , and in that disguise he left the hotel on horseback for > cw BocUelle , where he could wait for the first morning tram to Bo-ton . It is said that he passed through a portion

      of the crowd on his way out of tbe city , but did not excite their suspicion . He was accompanied by several military officers , who acted as an escort and body guard , until he was clear of the city . " To show that the spirit of riot was anything but quelled on Saturday , I clip the following two * " calls" fromamorningpaper : —'" Arouse , Guards ! —The Rynders Guards will meet at the head-quarters , 28 , Park-row , on Monday , May 14 , 1849 , for the purpose of forming the corps to go on a drilling and target excursion . Every member is expected to be present , as this is the time for excursions for all guards . By order of the Orderly . "

Every _member is expected to he on hand on this occasion . By order of the Captain . Such notices are very significant . Asior-place and the * neighbouring streets were guarded all Saturday and Sunday by the military .

The ground was then . kept by the police , the military being ready at a moment ' s notice .

      1yrec5 Of Ax Emigrant Ship. The Tidings ...

      1 YREC 5 OF AX EMIGRANT SHIP . The tidings of the wreck of the Hannah , with nearl y 200 emigrants , bound to Quebec , from Ifewry , was reported on Monday afternoon at Lloyds , the particulars _having been received by the American mail-steamer America , at Liverpool . The unfortunate vessel the Hannah was a brig of about 200 tons burden , belonging to Maryport , and manned by a crew , it is said , of twelve seamen , under thc command of Mr . Shaw , thc master . On the 3 rd of April last she sailed from If e wry with the above number of emigrants on board , having been previousl y overhauled and examined by ber Majesty ' s emigration agent at that port . The emigrants chiefly consisted of agricultural labourers , and their wives and children . The passage up to

      the 27 th , considering the season of the year , was as favourable as could be expected . The -vessel then encountered heavy winds and a quantity of floating ice . On the morning of the 29 th the unfortunate ship struck on a reef of ice ; it was about four o ' clock when she struck . A charge is brought against the master and the first and second officers or their having been guilty of one of the most revolting acts of inhumanity possible to be conceived . They had got the life-boat out , and the moment they found the vessel would inevitably go down they jumpod into it , and abandoned the ship with the emigrants on board . -Their screams for . help rent the air , and it was with difficulty that the remainder ofthe crew could induce the frantic creatures to comprehend the only chance left of saving their

      lives . Fortunately the ice was firm under the ship ' s bows , and the seamen convincing them as to its security , many got on it . Its solidity being then apparent , a desperate struggle took place amongst the emi «* rants to leave the wreck . Men , women , and children , with nothing on but their night attire , were scrambling over , the mass of ice . Many of the poor creatures slipped between the huge masses , _4 ind were either crushed to death or met with a watery grave . The last to leave tke wreck , were some ofthe crew , - who contrived to save a small portion of spirits and a few blankets . Soon after they bad got clear , the ship ' s stem rose as it were above the water , and she went down head foremost , just forty minutes after the collision with the ice . The _sufferings of the wretched creatures were most

      _hnrr-iwing . The seamen who were among them humanely gave up what covering they had to the women , some of whom had been shockingly wounded and bruised . Thus were they exposed the whole of that day till five o ' clock in the afternoon , when a vessel hove in si ght , and bore down to the edge of the field of ice . It proved to be the barque Ificargua , also hound for Quebec , Captain Marshal . He got the ship ice fenaer down , and prepared to take to the ice . By seven o clock he had got so close in that in the course of two hours he and his crew succeeded in getting hold of about fifty of the poor creatures , and p lacing them on board his vessel . The remainder stood crouched together in another part ofthe ice some distance off , inaccessible from tho position of the ship . Captain Marshal had all sails clewed up , and got a rope fastened to a piece of ice , and with thc long-boat pushed off with his

      men to the spot . After considerable difficulty he succeeded in getting to the edge , where they remained huddled _together . The whole of them were saved . The number got on board the _Xicargua were 129 passengers and seamen , the greatest part of whom were frost-bitten . As far as Captain Marshal could ascertain from the survivors , the number that perished by being crushed to death between the ice and frozen to death were between fifty and sixty . As soon as he had succeeded in getting all on board , the shi was got under weigh , and proceeded in the direction of Cape Kay . Every comfort that his means afforded was placed at the sufferers' disposal . The next day , meeting with the barque Broom , of Glasgow , _twenty-sevea of thc poor creatures were transferred to that -vessel ; and in the _coulee of the following day forty-nine of the survivors were placed on board three other vessels . Ike _Xicargua reached Quebec on the 10 th of April .

      The fate ofthe master and the others who took to the life-boat and abandoned the emigrants is not known .

      Destructive Fires. Gbew Tire Xeib Oxford...

      DESTRUCTIVE FIRES . Gbew Tire XEiB Oxford-Street . —On Monday night , shortly after nine o ' clock , a fearful fire , which was not extinguished until nearly midnight , and not until a quantity of property had been destroyed , broke out in Blenheim-street , Oxford-street . The premises were formerl y in the tenure of the celebrated Dr . Brookes , but at the present time were hi tbe occupancy of Messrs . Alderson and Sons , lead merchants and pewterers . The flames originated , from some cause at present unknown , in the warehouse adjoining the Blenheim Dispensary . That building , containing a vast quantity of oil , turpentine , aud other equally inflammable articles , caused the fire to progress with unusual swiftness , so that before an engine had time to reach the

      place the warehouse and all it contained became wrapped in one immense sheet of flame . This caused a general turn-out ofthe firemen , and forthwith the engines ofthe parish , London Brigade , and "West of England Insurance Company , from the station in Araicrloo-road arrived . The ' flames at that iime were progressing so fearfully that the total destruction of the dispensary appeared inevitable ; the firemen , however , set their engines to work , and did all that was possible to save the latter building from the -ravages of the flames . Another warehouse , belonging to Messrs . Alderson , running under the dispensary , whilst the firemen were at work , also became ignited , when the whole force was brought- to bear upon it , but in spite of which

      the fire continued to spread , and as thc water was scattered upon the blazing oil and spirits it caused them to rise still higher , until the whole nei ghbourbood was in danger . The firemen , finding that no good could be accomplished by working the engines npon the vats of oil whieh were on fire , had the hose from the engines conveyed round the burning premises , and by that means they were enabled to encompass the flames on every side , but it was not until thc extensive warehouses in which they originated was burned out , its valuable contents consumed , the _building under the dispensary severel y damaged by fire and water , and the lecture-room of the dispensary injury by fire , & c , the flooring in several p laces being obli ged to be cut away so that the men could _dii-charge the water on the fire . The whole damage , it is stated by some of the firemen

      will not be fax short of £ 2 , 000 . Further _PiRTicuLins . —Discovert of Dead Bovtes . —The firemen having eventually succeeded in extinguishing ihe fire a strange discovery was made . On the men entering , by means of a small wmdo ' . v , a kind of lumber-room parallel with the hist floor leads , their attention was directed to what appeared to be the remains of two or three persons who had been burned to death . Upon makin- > a closer inspection it was ascertained that the substances found were the remains of two , if not three , human beings ,, which had not been divested ofthe flesh , and which was so hard and dry , from Ion " exposure to thc air , as not to be easily removed The head ot each party was off , and there is everv reason for supposing that the bodies had been used by the celebrated Dr . Brookes , who formerly had possession ofthe premises , for anatomical purposes . _Although every inquiry has been made for the pur-

      pose of learning how the disaster occurred , nothing satisfactory could be g leaned ; the prevailing opinion , however , is , that it arose from the spontaneous ignition of some greasy rags . _ITad it not been for the exertion o ? the firemen there is no doubt that the premises of Mr . Colburn , the jvellknown bookseller in Marlborough-street , would also have been destroyed , as the warehouse of that _e-enfcleman adjoined those burned down . g Fire at BEhMoxBsET . -An extensive conflagration broke out on Tuesday morning , shortly before two o ' clock , iu Willow-walk , Bermondsey , by which a Tant amount of property has been destroyed The flames commenced on the premises belonging to Mr . Clapham , a tanner and leather-dresser . The moment the discovery was made an alarm was giveta ; but before assistance could arrive- the greater portion of the works was enveloped in flames . As soon

      as water could be procured the whole of the engines were set to work , but in sp ite ofthe endeavours of the firemen the flames crossed the carriage road and fired almost simultaneously the extensive works of Mr . Hugman , in the same line of business . The fire was not entirely extinguished until nearly six o ' clock . The loss of property is considerably greater than was at first expected . The buildings which have been consumed covered an area of some hundred square feet . Thc official report returns the greater portion of Mr . Clapham ' s property as being destroyed , and the foreman ' s house adjoining considerably damaged by fire . The premises and contents were insured in the Sun . The bark-houses , mills , and leather-houses of Mr . llugman are also returned as being all but destroyed , and the Fellmonger ' s Arms Tavern , on the opposite side o the road , the property of Mr . C . Head , as "damaged by fire . Mi ' . Hugman was insured in the Sun office .

      Southwark.—" The Course Or True Love Sev...

      SOUTHWARK . — " The Course or True Love sever did _nux Smooth . —William Sandford , a young man of respectable appearance , was brought before Mr . Cottingham , charged with creating a disturbance in the house of Mr . Joseph Jarmain , landlord ofthe Queen s Head , in Fashion-street , Bermondsey , and instigating his daughter , a girl of fifteen years of age , to abandon her home . —The complainant stated that for some time past the defendant had been in the habit of frequenting his house , and as he observed of late that familiarities , which he was averse to encourage , were passing between the latter and his daughter , a very young girl , he forbade him the house . The defendant , however , still persisted in his visits , although remonstrated with , and warned not to come there , and on Saturday

      evening he presented himself and forced his way into the room where complainant ' s daughter was sitting , and repeated his solicitations for her to leave home and accompany him . On that occasion the defendant became go exceedingly turbulent in his conduct , that when threatened to " be turned out he made use of language ofa hi ghly irritating nature , vowing that complainant ' s daughter should not remain longer under her parental roof ; and his conduct at length became so violent , that in order to prevent serious consequences , he was at last compelled to call a policeman , and g ive the aggressor into custody . The complainan fc here handed a letter addressed by the defendant to his daughter , to the magistrate , in order that his worship mig ht be made acquainted with the improper character of his

      epistles to so young a girl . —Mr . Cottingham having perused the fetter , observed that it was of a most improper description , and that the father was perfectly "justified in banishing such a customer from his house . The magistrate added that if the girl was possessed of property , and the defendant was attemptmgto induce her to leave home and get married to him in order to obtain possession of it himself—if he succeeded in getting her away for such a purpose , he would place himself in a difficulty that he little expected , if proceedings wero adopted against him , for such an offence , upon conviction , would render him liable to transportation . —Defendant : I don't . waut her money , an d cons id er myself as respectable as the young lady is , although her parents are opposed to our union . —Mr .

      Cottingham : Pray what age are you ? Defendant : I am nearly twenty !—The father said that the defendant was not yet out of his apprenticeship but that independently of that he ( complainant ) did not wish his daughter , quite a young girl , to marry the man . —The defendant said that he considered Mr . Jarmain the aggressor in this matter , and that he had no right to expel him from his house more than any other customer ; that it was a public-house , and he was bound to furnish his customers with entertainment on being paid for it , but that he refused to serve him . —Mr . Cottingham told the defendant that the landlord of any house of that description was perfectl y justified in refusing to serve a person who conducted himself in such a manner as the defendant was proved to have done . He should call upon the

      defendant to find two sureties of £ 25 each , and himself in - £ 50 to keep the peace and be of good behaviour . The magistrate , at the same time , advised thc complainant , if he could manage it conveniently , to send his daughter to some of her relations in the country , a step which the father intimated he should adopt as speedily as possible . —The defendant was loeked up in default of finding the required sureties . Alleged Misconduct is . a Dissenting Chapel . — R . Edgcomb and T . Luck were charged with intruding themselves into a chapel iu "Webber-street , Blackfriar ' s-road , and disturbing the congregation . —Mi ' . Thomas Cooksay said that he was minister of a dissenting chapel , of which the defendants were formerly members , that they had for sometime past withdrawn themselves . On Suudav evening ,

      however they intruded themselves , and caused an interruption by exclaiming that he was nothing but an impostor , and afterwards addressing the congregation . They were repeatedl y requested to be silent , but at length they became so noisy that it was found necessary to call in a policeman to prevent a breach of the peace . The complainant added that the chapel was duly licensed . —The defendants stated that the doctrines promulgated by the preacher ofthe chapel were at variance with Christianity , and tliat they presented themselves there in order to enlighten the congregation . They ( the defendants ) thought they were justified in their interference under such circumstances . — Mr . Cottingham informed them that they were very much mistaken , and that they were not justified in interrupting the service in the manner described . However , if they now promised to keep away from the

      chapel hi future , he would order them to beset at liberty , but if not , he must bind them down to keep the peace . —Luck at once assented ; but his fellowprisoner said that he couldnot conscientiously make a promise ofthe kind , for he couldnot bear to hear a man get up in a pul p it and propegate such doctrines without interfering , and pointing out tothe congregation the errors of the preacher . —Mr . Cottingham : But you are not compelled to go there unless you like ; and as the place i 3 duly licensed , you must not interfere with the service , " and in order to prevent such a scone in a place of worship I must adjudge you to find sureties to keep the peace . —Luck , the other defendant , was discharged . Violent Assault upox Miss Vincent , of the Tictoria Theatre . —Eliza Cole , alias White , a young woman of prepossessing appearance , was charged with attempting to strangle Miss Vincent , the actress connected with the Yictoria Theatre .

      The complainant , who was accompanied by Mr . Osbaldiston , stated that a little after eleven o ' clock on the previous night she left the theatre , and was about to get into her carriage at the stage door , when she perceived the prisoner following her . She knew nothing about her , but the prisoner rushed upon her , and attempted to . strangle her ; and no doubt she would have succeeded , had not one ofthe actors come to her assistance . Witness further stated that she was unacquainted with the prisoner , and had had no connexion with her family . She knew her some years ago as an actress , but had nothing to do with her . —Mi * . Edwin , the chief clerk , asked Miss Vincent whether the prisoner did not claim relationshi p with Mi . Osbaldiston . —Miss Vincent replied that she was not aware that such was

      the case . —Mr . Johnson , one of thc performers connected with the Victoria Theatre , said that he was making his way to the lobby after the performance , when he heard screams and cries of " Murder . " He instantly rushed out at the stage entrance , and saw the prisoner in Miss Vincent ' s carriage , with her Lands grasped tightly round her throat . She exclaimed , " that she was determined to murder her , as she had a vindictive feeling towards her ! " He seized hold of her , and gave her into custody ofthe constable of the theatre . —Murray , the constable of the theatre , said that he took the prisoner into custody , and on _searching her he found a quantity- of stones and a sharp knife . —In defence , the prisoner said she was an old acquaintance of Miss Vincent , and knewher before she lived with Mr . Osbaldiston .

      She had been a ballet-girl at thc Haymarket ; and when Miss Vincent performed there she assisted her but since sho had been in distress all her friends had deserted her . When Mr . Shepherd was with Miss Vincent sho called upon her for assistance , but-she then treated her so ill that she was determined to have satisfaction . —Mr . Seeker told her that if she had any complaint to make it should be done in the proper way , and not with violence . She certainl y did not appear to be in a proper state to be liberated , consequently hc should detain her until her friends came forward and became answerable for her future conduct .

      GUILDHALL . —Obstruction by the Bishop of Exeter ' s Effict . —A rcspcctabiy-drcsscd individual , named Joseph Carter , was charged with causing au obstruction on tho foot-way in Fleetstreet , by carrying an -effi gy ofthe Lord Bishop of Exeter . —From the statements of . Sergeant Price and Thomas Quarterman , two city officers , it appeared that about half-past twelve o _' clock yesterday they met the prisoner with aneffigv , large as life , fixed to a pole about eight feet hi gh , " and bearing in tae front _iwo wooden keys , on ~ one of wliich was panned iu large characters tbe words , "Tree Trade . " There was a crowd of about fifty persons

      following , and the prisoner was therefore requested to go out of the City , He refused , and was taken into custody , when some letters were found on him ofa Chartist tendency . —Alderman Moon asked what the figure was intended to represent ? One of tlio officers said it was evidentl y intended to represent either the Bishop of Exeter or the Rev . Mr . Shore ; but the prisoner would give no information on the subject . —Carter , in defence , said that he was a carpenter by trade , but declined telling his motives for such conduct , or what object he had in view . —Alderman Moon said that he must be perfectly aware that such a proceeding would create a crowd , and thereby render the operations Of thieves more effective . Hc must pay for the offence ,

      whether done out of a frolic or for a worse purpose , and therefore he was fined twenty shillings , or seven days' imprisonment . —The fine was paid ; _MANSION-HOUSE . —Wholesale Robbery by a Clerk . —J . T . Hamilton , about ei g hteen years of age , was charged with having committed a series of robberies . The prisoner had been received as a clerk into the warehouse of White and Co ., of Cheapside , Manchester warehousemen , about six months ago , in consequence of an introduction of the highest respectability , and he absconded about a fortnight ago , after having not only robbed his employers , but defrauded a number of tradespeople , to whom he represented himself as the son of a nobleman and heir to wealth and distinction . —Mrs .

      Fairbridge , the wife of the warehouseman of White and Co ., stated that on the 7 th of May the prisoner came te he r a t her o w n d oor , and asked her to oblige him with £ i or £ 5 till he should return from Watling-street , at dinner time , as he wished to pay a small account of £ i odd , in the counting-house below . He then put a piece of paper in her hand , purporting to be an order signed by him on Messrs . Tilleard , and said that , as they were not bankers , Mr . James Clarke , the cashier in the countinghouse , could not pay the cheque away with the other cash . He was , therefore , anxious to pay in the money at once and requested the loan of tho amount ofthe witness . To that request she acceded by handing him over £ 4 in sovereigns and

      halfsovereigns , the property of her husband . Upon leaving the house he said he would return at two o ' cIock , and he accordingly came back and said that he was going to a party that evening , but ho called in order to pay her . He then asked her if she had change for a £ 10 note , and he held a pocket-book in his hand at the same time . She could not accommodate him , but told him that next day would do for the payment of the money . Since that- time she had not seen him until he was apprehended . —Mr . White , the principal in the house of White and Co ., of Cheapside and Watling-street , said : "The prisoner was my clerk , and had been with me since last October . About a month ago a robbery took place in the counting-house in Watling-street , one

      ofthe desks having been broken open and plundered of £ 5 . The prisoner was by no means suspected , but upon being taken into custody he confessed that he had broken open the desk and stolen the money , and he also admitted that he had supplied himself with cash by the most discreditable , means . "—Inspector Mitchell , ofthe City police force , said the prisoner , upon being taken into custody , intimated that he wished to see Mr . White , to whom he would disclose all the particulars ofhis extravagance , and the means by wliich he carried on the war . —Alderman Carden asked Mr . White whether the prisoner had made the disclosures upon any promise of mercy?—Mr . White : there was not the slightest

      promise made to him ; on the contrary , I told him to be cautious what he said , as it would be used against him . Having heard of his extravagance , I asked him how he contrived to get the money with whieh to support it . He said there was no use in keeping back the acknowledgment any longer , and he admitted the robbery in Watling-street , and other things . I have no doubt that I shall be able to bring forward some strong cases against him . The prisoner who held down his head during tho examination , was then remanded . It was stated that the prisoner had ordered a carriage to be made for him , and had acted , ever since his connexion with Mr . White ' s house , with the most remarkable duplicity .

      MARYLEBONE . —Assault by a Solicitor . —Mr . George John Keene , a solicitor ( who had been charged with having committed an assault of a very dangerous nature upon Mr . Henry Israel , clerk to Mr . Henry Humphrey , a solicitor ) , was brought up for re-examination . —A brief investigation of the case was entered into on Friday , the 18 th ult ., when the complainant , in consequence ofthe serious wounds he had received , was unable to attend . — The evidence was to the effect that on Thursday , the 17 th ult ., both complainant and defendant were at the Star and Garter , in the Edgeware-road ; that some unpleasant words took place between them , and that subsequently they commenced fighting . After sonfBblows were interchanged they botli fell . On Keene gettingup he said he had got enough , and the parties then shook hands , and appeared t « be reconciled ; but very shortly afterwards defendant seized an iron gaspipe key , with whieli he

      struck complainant a blow on thc left side of tlie head . Mr . Gaye , a neighbouring surgeon , on examining the wound , declared it to be of a very serious _natare ; it was two inches in length over the left frontal bone , and had completely laid bare the skull ,. —The complainant , whose head was strapped up with adhesive plaister , appeared very weak , and exceedingly agitated . His evidence corroborated the above statement , and it appeared that the quarrel between the parties arose out of , the defendant calling the complainant " a low Jew scamp , " in reply to which the latter threw out some imputations upon the defendant and a very near relative . —Mr . Long said it was evidence that the case was one on which a magistrate could not adjudicate . He would , therefore , commit the defendant for trial , but would take bail himself in £ 500 , and two sureties in £ 250 each . —The sureties were immediately entered into , and defendant will stand his trial at the Central Criminal Court for the offence .

      WORSHIP-STREET . — Attempt to Poison a Husband . —Eliza Schulenbergcr , a neatly-attired and rather good-looking young woman , was placed at the bar before Mr . Hammill , charged with having administered repeated doses of poison to her husband , Philip Schulenberger , a master cabinetmaker in Austin-street , Bethnal-green , with intent to murder him . —The prosecutor , a middle-aged German , whose face and person presented a very emaciated appearance , stated that he had been married about four years to the prisoner , by whom he had had one child , and with whom he had lived upon most affectionate terms until about two years since , when a marked alteration took p lace in her habits and demeanour , and she commenced absenting herself

      from home at repeated intervals and entirely neglected her domestic duties . In spite of liis remonstrances she persisted in tho same course of conduct until about six months ago , when his health , which had been previously good , became suddenly and seriously impaired , and he experienced the most excruciating internal pains , accompanied by frequent sickness and a scorching sensation in his throat and chest . Theso symptoms became gradually more aggravated , particularly after having partaken of tlie meals prepared by the prisoner , until at length the whole of his hair fell off his head , and he was affected with constant nausea , which was followed by a repeated discharge of blood from the stomach . He had for a long time suspected that his illness

      had been occasioned by something of a deleterious character having been administered to him by his wife , who was in the habit of constantly pouring out his tea before he sat down to table ; but about three weeks since , in order to satisfy his suspicions , he entered the room unexpectedly while she was preparing thc meal , when she hastily removed the cup intended for his use to that part of the tabic where she was seated . Witness immediately examined the cup , and , finding that it contained some white powder , partially dissolved in a small quantity of tea , he applied part" ofthe contents with thc tip ofhis finger to his tongue , on wliich it left a strong acid flavour , and produced the same sickening sensation that he had so often before experienced after

      his meals . On communicating this discovery to thc prisoner , and intimating his suspicions of her conduct , she carelessly replied , that if he had found anything in the cup , it must have been placed there by thc child ; but ho told her that that was imnossible , as ho had seou her take the cup from a slielf , which the child could not reach , as it was only two years old . On the following morning , during the absence of the prisoner , he made a minute search in the bedroom , and at length discovered , concealed between two boxes , a packet containing some white powder of the same appearance and taste as that he had found in the tea cup . The prisoner shortl y after returned , and upon showing her the powder , and inquiring what it was , sho said that it was onlv

      salts of prunella , and urged him to throw it in the fire . * He retained possession of it , however , until the following day , when ho proceeded with it , accompanied by his brother , to the residence of Mr . Ryan , a physician and operative chemist , who pronounced upon examinati ' on that it was almost entirely composed of arsenic . Upon returning home with his brother , thc latter upbraided the prisoner with her flagrant conduct in attempting to poison her husband , to wliich she made no reply at the time ; but as soon as his brother had left she became greatl y agitated and said , " You are _nod dead yet , although it is true I have Given

      you poison , and God forgive me for it . " On the same evening her father called to visit them , and the moment he entered the room the prisoner hastened towards him and exclaimed , " They ' ve found me out , and got it all clear r . _gninst mc ; for God s sake-take mo under your protection . " Witness then apprised her fatherof , her conduct towards him , intimating the discovery he had made that- she had been a long time poisoning him b y dcrccs , and that he was at tliat moment in such a state- of torture that he was scarcely able cither to speak or stand , but tho father expressed his inerodulity and conveyed her away to his own residence . Witness and his brother then proceeded to make a _genoral search , and . $ the back of a drawer used by thc pri-

      soner in the bedroom thoy found a quantity of loose powder of the same description , a further portion of which had apparently been made with _aomc oatmeal , with which his gruel was generally , mixed , and which was kept in a crockery image upon the mantelp iece . These , togotlier with a packet of dark-coloured powder , discovered upon a shelf in the kitchen , had also been since submitted to Dr . Ryan for analysation . The prosecutor added , that at the commencement of his illness , when he comp lained to her ofthe dreadful pain he was suffering , the prisoner , without expressing the slightest sympathy , told him that all the hair would fall off his head , and that he would be sure to die . After some further evidence was produced confirming the - -.

      prosecutor ' s statement , Mr . Vann ( who attended on behalf of the accused , ) said , that as the case was one which must necessarily undergo a further _investigation , ho would reserve her defence for a future occasion ; and the prisoner , who had her child in her arms , and exhibited an entire absence of emotion throughout the examination , was ordered to be remanded for the completion ofthe evidence . LAMBETH . —Fatal Pastime . —Two men named Somerton and Kni ghtley , labourers , were p laced at the bar on a charge of having caused tho death of William Nutt , also a labouring man . —Police-constable Ratcliff deposed that , having been informed on the preceding evening that William Nutb had died in Guy s Hospital , in consequence of an injury he

      received on Sunday evening , he apprehended the prisoner Somerton . Knightley camo to the stationhouse and delivered himself up , saying he was willing to abide any charge that might be preferred against him . From information which Ratcliff had since obtained it appeared that on Sunday evening last the prisoners , the- deceased , and others were playing at "leap-frog , " in Edward-street , Camberwell . In the course of the game , the prisoner Knightley pushed the deceased , and the latter fell over Somerton , who was in a stooping position at the time . The deceased fell upon his head , and raising himself from the ground , he exclaimed , " For God ' s sake , go aud fetch me a doctor , I am dvins , " Those around him thought he was merely

      seized with fits , whieh hc had been subject to ; but observing that he was not able to move , they carried him to Guy ' s Hospital , where , upon examination , it was found that he had received a severe injury of the spine . He died about noon on Monday . Ratcliff added that there did not appear to have been any bad feeling or animosity existing between the parties , and the unfortunate affair , from aU he could learn , had occurred without any intention to injure . —The prisoners said the statement of the officer was perfectly correct , and they were truly sorry for what had happened . —They were remanded to the following day , to know the result of the coroner s inquiry . A Wholesale Burolab .--A notor ious burglar ,

      who gave the name of John Jones , was placed at the bar on suspicion with being concerned in the commission ofa number of burglaries and robberies . —Police-constable Frederick Bowerman deposed , that on that morning between the hours of one and two o clock , he saw the prisoner come over a hedge from some premises in Sydney-place , South Lambeth , and suspecting all was not right , he asked him where hc came from . The prisoner replied from the Elephant and Castle , and witness knowing this to be false , secured him and took him to the station-house . He there searched him , and found in his pockets a set- of housebreaking implements , a box of lucifer matches , and other things . —Inspector Coleman informed the magistrate that , on Sunday

      night last , two burglaries had been committed in South Lambeth , and property to a considerable amount stolen ; and he had little doubt , from an entry having been obtained to each of the houses plundered by means of a centre-bit , that both the robberies had been effected by the prisoner or his associates . —Inspector Campbell stated , that within the last few weoks innumerable burglaries and robberies had been committed at Camberwell , Peckham , and theU' vicinity , and he ( Mr . Campbell ) had no doubt whatever , both from the fact of the prisoner bavins ; been observed lurking about thoso places , and the robberies having in all cases been effected by means of a centre-bit , that every one of them had been committed by the prisoner and his confederates . Mr . Campbell added , that one night four houses in succession were attempted to be broken into , but without success . AU the houses

      in the row bore on their doors and shutters tho marks of tho centre-bit , and at one in particular a desperate effort appeared to have been made by thc burglars to effect an entrance , but this was prevented bv tho doors and shutters being Hned with sheet iron . —Samuel Wright , a constable belonging to the P division , here said that about three weeks ago ho took the prisoner and another person into custody at Peckham , having fouiid them lurking about and taking particular notice of the avenues and passages leading to several gentlemen ' s houses . On that occasion , when placed at the bar where he now stood , he gave the name of Foster , and said he worked in the docks ; and no house-breaking implements having been found on him , he was discharged . —Another constable deposed to having been present when the prisoner was tried for felony , and s entenced to twelve months' imprisonment . —The p risoner was remanded for a week .

      BOW-STREET . —Infanticide . —Catherine Henessey , a servant g irl , about eighteen years of age , was charged before Mr . Henry with having concoaled the birth of a male illegitimate child . — The prisoner , it appeared , having been dismissed from service about a month ago , went to reside with her father , at 3 , King-street , Drury-lane . A few days after she applied for relief to a neighbour , a Mrs . Cain , living at So . 2 in thc same street , stating that her father had turned her out of doors and left her perfectly destitute . Mrs . Cain received her into the house , but soon accused her of being in the family way—an imputation which _she-invariably denied with some show of indignation . She seemed occasionally to suffer severely from indisposition , and-on the moi-nitis' in question was up as early as

      three o clock . Both Mrs . Cain and a Mrs . Taylor , another inmate of the house , observing that she repeatedly visited the water-closet , and remained there apparently in great agony , charged her with being in labour , and begged her to allow them to send for medical assistance , as it would be fatal to her to be unprepared for such an event ; but sho still persisted in her former denial of tho accusation , and attributed her illness to another cause . She afterwards told them that , as her father went out to his work usually at four o clock in the morning , she should go into the next house and lie down for a little while upon his bed , and she then left for that purpose . After a short interval they found her there in a state of exhaustion , looking extremely

      pale and thin , and the latter circumstance induced them to suspect that she had delivered herself of a child . She was implored to tell the truth , but she still declared that no moro was tho matter with her than with them . Tlie women , however , were not satisfied with tho statement , and said they should send for thc parish doctor , upon which she expressed her willingness to be examined by him . They then procured the attendance of Mr . W . Bennett , the surgeon of St . Giles ' s , and the result of his examination confirmed their suspicions , upon _, which the prisoner was removed to the workhouse . Here sho ultimately confessed , b ot h to t h e sur g eon and to the matron , that something had happened to her while she was sitting on tho watercloset at So .

      3 , ( her father ' s lodgings ) , but she believed it to be premature . —Bushfiold , a constable ofthe F division , deposed that he had examined tho cesspool referred to , and found a full-grown child imbedded in the soil . —Mr . Bennett , the surgeon , proved that tho child had gone its full time . There were no marks of violence upon it . It was a male infant . —Tho prisoner , after being cautioned in the usual form _, stated that her father accused her of being with child , and desired her to go and see a ; doctor , but she went to Mrs . Cain ' s instead . They suspected her also , but she did not like to eonfess the truth ,

      tor fear they should treat her as her mistress had done . Sho was first accused of it by her mistress , Mrn . Brandon , in the Strand , and Dr . Harrison , the family physician , was directed to examine her . Tlie doctor reported that she was advanced in pregnaoy , and Mrs . Brandtn said that if sho would confess every tiling , she would do something for her perhaps . She ( the prisoner ) then told her all that had happened , from beginning to end , but instead of assisting her , her mistress ordered ker to leave the house directly . This was why she had been afraid to confess her misfortune to her sister or to Mrs . Cain . —Mr . Henry committed her for trial .

      Obstructing the Police . — Two mon , named Rush and Wacey , the former coachman , and the latter footman , to Mr .- Maple , were charged before Mr . nail with being drunk and disorderly , and with assaulting the police . in the execution of their duty . —Inspector Wilkinson , of the F division , stated that thc prisoners after having last night set down the ladies who composed their party at the Royal Italian Opera House , took up a place with the carriage directly in front of the station-house in Bow-street , they were told tliat they could not be allowed to stand there , but must go on to the rank of private carriages in Great Russell-street . The coachman Rush was about to drive thither , but Wacoy interfered and abused the policeman who had spoken to him , and ultimately struck both

      the constable and the inspector . Hc was taken into the station-house , but there his conduct was more violent . lie jamped over thc railings of the dock where he was placed , and made a violent attack upon the policemen on duty . It-ultimately required six constables to remove ' him to the cell . In thc meantime , the inspector observed that Rush who was very quiet outside , was too drunk to take care ofthe horses , and had him taken , into the station-house , where ho also became very violent . —Mr . Hall said ., that offences of this kind amongst the servants of gentlemen visiting the _theatros were formerly very frequent , and the magistrates at length camo to tho resolution of punishing the offenders at once ¦ with imprisonment , ¦ without g iving _thoiii _, the option . of a tine . . .

      ITALY . The defeat ofthe Neapolitans , on the 19 th ult ., at Velletri ,. is confirmed . The Minister of War and Marine of Rome , Jos ep h Avezzan a , publishes two bulletins signed by Rosselli , Commander-in-Chief of the Roman troops sent against the Neapolitans : the first , dated from head quarters under Velletri . at one o ' clock after midnight on the 20 th , stating that the Neapolitans , 6 , 000 i n _number s al l i e d f rom Velletri on the 19 th , and attacked tne Roman vanguard

      under Garibaldi , but were repulsed with the loss of thirty prisoners and many dead and wounded ; the main body coming up under General Rosselli , then attacked Velletri , and the fire lasted till dark . The second bulletin is dated from Velletri itself , at halfpast nine a . m . of tiie 21 st , and announces that , the advanced detachment * , sent forward to reconnoitre , discovered that the town had been evacuated during the night by the Neapolitans . The Romans were in the act of entering it at the time stated by the bulletin .

      AUSTRIA , HUNGARY , AND RUSSIA . The report of the capture of Buda by the Magyars is fully confirmed . - A letter from Warsaw says : — " The German journals have informed you of the movement of Russian troops , which have crossed tbe Polish f ¦ onlier with a view to the occupation of the ancient kingdom of Poland . The following is , as nearly as possible , the exact position of the Russian army : — - " The 3 rd and 4 th divisions , under the orders of Generals Rudiger and Geodarief , have alone as yet been called to act in Hungary , forming together an army of about 100 , 000 men , of which 20 , 000 will be stationed in Galicia , to prevent any attempt of the Hungarians upon that province . Another division ot 20 , 000 men : under the orders of General Freytag , will remain at Bukowine . The 5 th division will occupy Moldavia and Wallaehia .

      "The 1 st and 2 nd divisions , consisting of Grenadiers , will remain in the kingdom of Poland . This arm y is 120 , 000 strong . The 3 rd division tGrenadie's ) will remain in Lithuania . A reserve division of cavalry will guard the frontier of Podalia . The sixth division of the army has left _^ Moscow , and is advancing on Brzesi , constituting the reserve of the army of Poland . Prince Paskewitch will take the chief command of the operations against the Hungarians . The Imperial Guards , who had been ordered to march , have , it is said , received counterorders to remain at St . Petersburgh . The guards

      are said not to like the Russian intervention in _Hung-iry . " The plan of the Hungarians is said to be to retire before the Russians and Austrians , as they did before Windischgratz in the month of January , giving up all the towns and fortresses between the Danube and the Theis 3 , with the exception of Comorn , and thus to draw the Russians and Austrians into the old Magyar fighting ground , the morasses of Upper Hungary , where fever and ague will do their work among the unseasoned troops of Russia and Austria in summer , as cold and wet did their work in winter .

      TERRIBLE DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANSGLORIOUS VICTORY OF THE HUNGARIANS . The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Posen of the 20 th : — "The advanced guard of the Russians has been unexpectedly attacked , and destroyed by a division under Dembinski , nearJordanow , in Galicia , not far from the frontier of Hungary . 2 , 000 Russians were left on the _fieli of battle , and twenty cannon fell into the hands of the victors . It is said that the Hungarians have possessed themselves of Lember _- ,. but this require * ennfirmation . It is certain , however , tliat Dembinski wishes to pass into Poland by Galicia , and , on that account , a Russian force of 45 , 000 men has occupied ihe camp of _Kalisch , and is to remain on the frontier .

      PUBLIC MEETINGS . JOURNEYMEN BAKERS * SHORT TIME MOVEMENT . A public meeting of tlie Operative Bakers ' . So ciet y was held at Zion Chapel , Union-street , adjoining Whitechapei Church , on Wednesday evening , to take into consideration the present degraded state of the journeymen bakers , and to petition parliament to pass the bill about to be introduced to the House of Commons by Lord Robert Grosvenor for the abolition of nig ht-work in the baking trade . The chair was taken by George Thompson , Esq ., supported by Luke James Hansard , Esq ., Jos . Payne , Esq ., Rev . Chas . Stovel , Mr . Jehn Olennie , sen ., and Mr . Thos . Webber .

      Mr . G . _READi-ead the report of the proceedings of the society since the last general public meeting , at which Lord Robert Grosvenor presided . It stated that at Glasgow , Exeter , Bristol , and numerous other places , tho public had sympathised with the society and signed petitions in great numbers . _Mi' . _' _Gkoroe Thompson said that the object ofthe proposed bill was to confine the labour done in bakehouses between the hours of four o ' clock in the morning and six o ' clock in tho evening , with the exception of somo easy duties which were essential to the proper conduct of such establishments . Ho thought this a most reasonable demand , ne lamented that there should exist any necessity for

      such a bill , and hoped thc day was not far distant when there would not only be such a reduction ot the hours of labour as was contemplated by the proposed bill , but a very large reduction ofthe remaining hours . Somehow or other man had contrived , either influenced by covctousness or goaded by necessity , to double and quadruple the primeval malediction , "that he should cat his bread by the sweat of his brow . " Ho did not believe that it was necessary in a community like ours that any man should be called on to toil to such an extent as they did , whose benefit was contemplated by this bill , who laboured ei hteen and twenty hours out of the twenty-four . The great objection which could be

      urged in the House of Commons against the bill would be , that it would bo establishing a dangerous precedent , and that other trades would come forward and ask for a similar bill , but he trusted that a case would be made out of such imperative necessity that , irrespective of future contingencies , the measure would bo passed . Mr . Webber , a master baker , moved the first resolution — " That tho meeting deplored the existence of the present system of ni ght-work , of unlimited hours of labour , carried on in the bakingtrade , which was proved to be productive of a great amount of demoralisation , misery , degradation , and premature bodily decay , to a largo and important

      _cuiss oi ine community , and mnietcd a flagrant wrong on those employed in tho baking business , by depriving them ofthe necessary time ibr mental , moral , or religions improvement , or even rational enjoyment or recreation , and that it was tho duty of all persons to assist in eradicating the evil . " He contended that this was a master ' s question , as well as a journeyman ' s , and that as thero was no chance of coming to any arrangement , it was necessary to appl y to parliament . Mr . Glennik _, a master baker , seconded the resolution , which was also supported in a humorous speech by Mr . J . Payne , barristcr-at-law , and carried unanimously .

      Mr . Luke J . Hansard moved the second resolution , pled ging tho meeting to petition parliament to pass the bill introduced by Lord Robert Grosvenor , and requesting the metropolitan members to support it . The Rev . Chas . Stovel , M . A ., who described himself as having been a journeyman baker , seconded the resolution . It was also supported by Mr . Allison , and unanimously adopted ; and , after thanks to the Chairman ,. the meeting separated .
