Monday, July 16. House Of Lords. — Tynb ...
madcfor thc postponement ofall the orders preceding that for the Committee of Sorm until Monday . _Fbiexolt Societies Bill . —Mr . _Sotsiekon withdrew his bill . ScrrLT . —Tlie Ilouse then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply npou the Ordnance Estimates , which passed through a severe ordeal of criticism . Tbe general principles of military expenditure -, thc policy of making large accumulations of stores , and maintainic _** - government powder and gun _manufacturing establishments : the fortifications and
ordnance works in the colonies , underwent much discussion by Mr . Uume , Mr . Cobden , Mr . \ Sm ™> and Sir . "W . Moleswoktii on one hand , and hora j . Hesseix and Colonel _Assas on the other , but no reductions were made in the amount of the votes . _Jiusu 1 UILWATS .-The Ilouse having gone into committee on tho Advance of Money ( Athloue to Galway ) llailwav Bill , . ., ,, ... Sir J . GnW expressed his earnest hope that the Chancellor ox the Exchequer would jive an assurance that this enormous advance of £ o 00 , 000 to one Single railway would not be made . pr «* dent of ofthe _hedthat
The _CnAXcELLon Excheqcek rep , having already declined to g ive such a pledge to another lion , member , lie could not consistently make the promise suggested . Full aud tangible security was taken for the amount , and the loan would give employment to those whom it was essentially necessary to save from starvation . In committee on the Hisembodicd Militia Bill , Mr . Hume expressed his hope that next year measures would be t-ikeu to put an end to this expensive nuisance . Mr . Tox Ma _* cle rep lied that the militia force had become a mere skeleton , vacancies occurring were not -filled up , so that the object of the hon . member was gradually in course of attainment . 3 Ir . Hatter introduced a bill for the appointment of commissioners to inquire into tho claims over the Xew Forest and Waltham Forest , which was read a first time , as was also the Workhouse Loans ( Ireland ) Bill-Other non-dcbateable bills were advanced a stajee , and thc House adjourned at half-past five
o ' clock . THURSDAY , Jclt 19 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Titles of _Heugiocs _Coxguecatioxs ( _Scoilaxd ) Bill was read a second time . Bnmsn Passports at Home . — The Earl of _M-iLitE sm-p . r complained that passports had been given by Mr . Freeborn , her Majesty ' s Consul at Rome , to foreigners who had held commissions in the revolutionary army in that city . He wished to know whether Mr . Freeborn had acted in this manner from authority delegated to him by thc S ecretary of State for Foreign . Affairs , or solely on the _suggestion of his own mind . The Marquis of Lassdowxe certainly understood J . UV *¦ ' _** ' *• _¦^¦ v ** _v -w * _. _m — sach but
that Mr . Freeborn had g iven passports ; he agreed that British passports ought not to have "been given to those parties unless they were in danger of their lives . That they had been in such ¦ danger he was not prepared to say ; but he apprehended tliat that was the cause why Mr . Freeborn had « -iven them passports . After some discussion , in which it appeared that Mr . Freeborn had acted on what he conceived to be the dictates of humanity , the matter dropped , and after some further business their Lordships adjourned . DOUSE OF COMMONS . —At the noon sitting , thc report of the Committee of Supply was brought up , and the Estates Leasing ( Ireland ) Bill , and several other bills were read a third time and passed
The object and provisions of one of them , the llegiluental Benefit Societies Bill—which , in its previous stages , had attracted no attention—were explained hy the Secretary-at-War . In the evening sitting , Mr . H . DnuuvioNn moved , ihat whereas a greater amount of taxation is levied upon the people than is required for the good and efficient government of the United Kingdom ; and whereas large sums are expended in supporting needless places , extravagant salaries , and unnecessary works and establishments ; . and whereas the present taxation of the country depresses all classes , and especially tbe labouring classes , by diminishin ; r the fund for the employment of
productive labour—it is the opinion of tins House that adequate means should be forthwith adopted to reduce the expenditure of the government . Lord It . _Grosvexoh considered that the resolution implied an unjust accusation against thc last and the present governments , and proposed as an amendment another which , premising that no greater amount of taxation ought to be levied than was sufficient for good government , and the expediency ofa searching inquiry as to any superfluous places , salaries , or establishments , resolved that a vigilant superintendence should he exercised over the _expenditure in all the departments , so that every reduction mig ht be effected therein not prejudicial to the public service .
The CiuxcELLon of the Exchequer _^ and Lord Jonx Russell opposed the resolution , which was supported by Mr . Hume , Mr . Ewart , Mr . M . Gibsos , and CoL Tnosirsox . After a short reply from Mr . Drcmmoxd , the House divided , when the original resolution was carried by 71 against 68 , the government being left in a minority of 3 . „ Sale of Bread . —Mi * . Baxkes moved the second reading ofthe Sale and Manufacture of Bread Bill , which was opposed by Mr . Labouchere , because it -wonld _impose restrictions upon the trade that would operate injuriousl y , and was ultimately negatived without a division . The other orders were disposed of , and the House adjourned at one o ' clock .
FRIDAY , July 20 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Several bills passed their stages without debate . Italt . —Lord Brocgiiaii proceeded in pursuance of his notice , and in a speech of between two and three hours' duration , to bring the subject of the _afiairs of Italy under consideration , concluding by moving : — " 1 . That ifc is the right and was the duty of the government to require and to obtain from foreign powers satisfactory explanations of those recent
movements in the Italian States which tend to unsettle the existing distribution of territory , and to endanger the general peace . " 2 . That it is inconsistent with the general interests and duty of this country to interfere in the concerns of foreign nations , as between then * go-TJrnments and their subjects . " 3 . That this House regrets to observe in the conduct of thc government , particularly as shown hy the papers laid hefore parliament , a want of friendly feeling towards alhes to whom we are hound hy treaty and by mutual acts of goodwill . "
" The noble and learned lord was replied to by the Earl of Carlisle , the speakers in succession being Lord Hettesbcrt , but whose observations were all hat inaudible" in the gallery ; the Earl of _Mixio , who was also very imperfectly heard ; the Earl of _AuE * tDEE . v , thc Marquis of Laxsdowxe , and Lord Staxley . After a reply from Lord Brougham , The motion was negatived by a majority of 12 , the numbers , including proxies , being 9 G to 103 ; and their lordships adjourned at half-past four o ' clock tbis morning . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Ilouse met at twelve o ' clock . - The question of the second reading ofthe Pilotage Bill led to a debate ; after which the hill was read a second time , committed pro forma , amendments -made , and bill to be re-committed on Monday next , at twelve o clock . Thc House then went iuto
committee on the Poor-law TJsios Charges Act Ame . yd ¦ u ext Brrx ; and on arriving at the emigration clause , the sum of- £ 10 per head was substituted for £ 15 , as contemplated by the clause , Mr . Wood moved a clause relative to the education of pauper children , to which Mr . Baixes stated several objections , at the same time observing that he fully appreciated the motives of benevolence which had prompted the hon : and learned gentleman in submitting it . On a division the clause was negatived by a majority of . 41 , the numbers 13 to 54 . An amendment of . Mr . _Hetwood's for extending the operation of the hill to "Gilbert ' s Unions , " was adopted ; one " by Captain Pechell , relative to the repayments of sums on account of relief hy one parish or union to another , in certain cases , ¦ was negatived without a division , and the bill passed through committee , when the House temporarily adjourned . On its _resuming at six o ' clock .
"Mr . _loxoccmzuE , m reply to Mr . Dbxisox , _withdrew the Railway Audit Bill fortius session . Marriage Bill . —Mr . J . S . _Wortlet answered Me . Coulborx to the effect that he should endeavour to pass tie Marriage Bill this session ; but that event must be dependent on the state of the business before the House . On the order of ihe day for going into committee of Ways and Means being read , Mr . BSrmes rose and called the attention of the House " tb the condition of the public revenue as
stated by tbe Chancellor of the Exchequer , and in connexion therewith to the expediency of deriving an addition to the national resources from a fixed duty on the importation of foreign corn , hut concluded without submitting any substantive motion . A long debate ensued , after " which the House _*«* ent into committee , when the usual resolutions "were agreed to on which to found the Appropriation Bul , the crowning measure of the session . On the House resuming , other orders of the day were disposed of , and the adjournment followed .

Aylesbuity, Jolt 14. Crimixal Assaults O...
AYLESBUItY , Jolt 14 . Crimixal Assaults ox Females . —The Court was occupied all day'in disposing of two most aggravated cases of rape , which presented revolting features . In the first case , William Bailey and Jacob Weston were charged with a criminal assault upon Ellen Wilkinson , a widow at Beaconsfield , on the 24 th of June last . Both were found " Guilty , " and Bailey having been before charged with a similar offence was sentenced to fourteen years . The other to ten years' transportation . —In the second case , the charge was preferred by a child , named Mary Ann
Cooper , living at Chipping Wycombe , against a workman named Frederick Wright , in the employ of her father . So charge was ever more clearly sustained . The child became the subject of dangerous disease in consequence ofthe offence , and his Lordship , in passing sentence , said no case had ever , inthe course of his experience , given him more pain . Everything of cruelty characterising sueh offences belonged to this case ; and but for the recent change ofthe law , as surely as he now lived would the prisoner have gone to the scaffold . Sentenced to transportation for life . —This finisbed the business of the first Summer Assize in Aylesbury
OXFORD , July 14 . Charge of MunnER . —James La ;* ton , aged 45 , was placed at the bar yesterday charged with having murdered his wife , Martha Layton , at the parish of Cropready , in this county , on the 29 th of May last . "While the officer was reading the indictment the prisoner was smiling or simpering in a manner winch seemed to some indicative of weakness of mind , but to others did not convey that impression . When the indictment had been read , and he was called on for his p lea , he said , after a pause . " I am not fully persuaded that she is dead . I have seen her since with my own eyes "—His Lordship : Then , if she is not dead you are not guilty . —Prisoner : I havo hoard her steps . I know them well . I know she is not dead . —His Lordship inquired of
the governor of the gaol how the prisoner had been treated in gaol . —The governor said , that he had not been aware thc prisoner was insane . He had been left out with the other prisoners , and did not complain , except when ho first came in , when the surgeon gave him some medicine . He had been since sometimes depressed and sometimes lively , but had not been treated as insane . —His Lordship inquired whether there was any medical man present who had attended the prisoner ; and finding that there was not , and that the counsel for the defence wished the trial to stand over , adjourned the case tiU nine o ' clock tlus morning . At that hour , the court having reassembled , tbe prisoner was again arraigned , and asKcd for his plea , when he again answered that he was not satisfied that she was
dead , and he knew she was alive . —Bis Lordship : If she is not dead , then you are not guilty . —Prisoner : But , my lord , how can I plead guilty , ( and after a pause ) ornot guilty under the circumstances ? —His Lordship having inquired whether there was a surgeon in court , and having privately communicated with Mr . Wood , the surgeon of the gaol , again addressed the prisoner , "Sow , what do you say : are you guilty or not guilty ?"—The prisoner , after a moment ' s pause , replied , "Sot Guilty . "The jury were then sworn andthe case proceeded . Mr . W . H . Cooke and Mr . Cripps were council for the defence . It appeared from the evidence that
on the 7 th of May hist the prisoner and the deceased were seen walking together on the road from Leamington to Banbury , and that tbe prisoner first shot his wife in the forehead with a pistol , and afterwards cut her throat and inflicted several other wounds on her with a knife . Baving perpetrated this brutal deed the prisoner fled across some fields but was pursued and captured , when he confessed that he had "done it . " The unfortunate woman lived twenty-two days after this horrible occurrence , and died on the 20 th of May , before which she made the foUowing declaration to Mi * . Lloyd , a magistrate of the county : —
I , the undersigned , being fully convinced that I shall not recover , declare that my name is Martha Layton , and that my husband , James Layton , did fire a pistol at me yesterday afternoon , about sh o ' clock ; tliat afterwards he cut mythroat . _withalaiife ; that , he was not in the habit of carrying a pistol with him , but that he has carried one on two or three occasions to Banbury . I do not know why he fired at me . We had not been quarrelling ; hut he had been " going on" with me—swearing dreadfuUy . He has threatened to murder jne , and did so on Sunday last . He sharpened a knife on Sunday , and several times before , for the purpose of cutting iny throat . I did not see the knife . He lias several times threatened to shoot me with a pistol . said
I never anything to offend him ; but begged of him not to swear so , and be quiet He had three pints of ale at the Harp , at Southam , at two o ' clock . I did not wish him to have but one pint lie had some brandy-and-watcr near the Penny Compton wharf . I am not sure that he sharpened the knife for tlie express purpose of cutting my throat , but I thought so . I saw a girl and a woman coming from their work , and wanted to keep up with thein , for I was frightened , but he pulled me back . I was coming to Banbury to get advice from my friends about my being separated from him , but he did not know that . He said he was coming to Banbuiy to get work . The knife now shown to me is one of my husband's knives , but not the one he sharpened .
The case for the prosecution having closed , Mr-Pigott proceeded to address the jury on behalf of tbe prisoner —contending , both from the facts _Projedonbehalf of the prosecution , and others which . ne should prove , that the prisoner was at the time in question not responsible for his conduct , in consequence of being insane , - Several witnesses were then examined , who proved that the prisoner laboured under a delusion ; as to his wife , her son ( before marriage with the prisoner ) , and her brother havmgeheatedhim out of property , _consisting of several houses . The jud ge having summed up the evidence ,. the jury retired , ahd , after an absence of ten minutes
, returned with a verdict of " Sot Guilty on the ground of insanity . —The prisoner was then ordered to beremoved . Since his arraijm-I ment he had behaved himself like a sane person , except that he was once about to interpose to put a silly question . to a witness , but on his attorney whispering to him he became quiet . * The only siffn of emotion he exhibited throughout the trial was when his counsel was aUuding very feelingly to his wife ,- and ha last interview with her , when he swooned , and remained insensible for a few minutes The case was not " over till six o ' clock . ' The court then rose , and thus terminated- the assizes for this county , - - •••••; - -. _* . *' _¦ - _— = - ¦ .,.. ¦ . - ¦¦

YORK , July 14
_"niT-reo Burglar * - —• Seriousa Assault ok the _Tn-mates -Jonas Mitchell , 33 , and William Snowden , 2-5 were charged with having on the 22 nd of May iZt -it" Warle yy burg lariously entered the house of _Johnttra _^ an d-stole _*^ . _^ Ins property . Mr . Hoothbv prosecuted ; Mr .. Hard y appeared for Snowden - _^ Mitchell was not defended ? The _prosecutor is ' a farmer residing atWarley , nearHalifax . Shortlv before one o clock m the morning of the 23 iid of May lost , the . prosecutor was aroused by a loud knocking at the door , and on looking out of the window he saw four men , who requested him to get up immediately and look at a neighbour ' s cow , which was dangerously ill . fhe prosecutor _accor-/ _i _* n « ivlifrhted a candle , dressed himself , and opened
thc dooi ° when the four men rushed into tho'house . Two of t hem seized the prosecutor by the throat , threw him violently down on tho floor , and there beat and ill-treated him in the most unmerciful manner . Whilst this brutal conduct was going on , the other two men , who were the prisoners , went into the room where the wife and daughter of the proseeutor were , and threatened to take their lives if they did not at once deliver up all their money . There was a lighted candle in the room . The wife at first h esitated to comply with the demand , and held the candle near to the face of Snowden , in order to enable her to recognise his features . "Upon this Snowden spat upon his hand , put it up the chimney , and then blackened his face with the
soot . The lives of the mother and daughter were again threatened , when the former gave to Snowden a mug which contained £ 9 in silver and a sovereign . Snowden remarked that he knew they had more money than that in the house , and if they did not find it directly they might expect nothing short of death . Mitchell seized the mother by the throat , and threw her on the floor . The daughter was also thrown down violently by Snowden , who then took the candle and immediately ransacked a chest of drawers , in which he found ten sovereigns . The two men who attacked the prosecutor and the prisoners immediately decamped with their booty . The mother and daughter , as soon as the ruffians were gone found the prosecutor lying on the floor in a state of insensibility , and covered with blood .
There were several bruises about his head and face , and he did not regain his consciousness for twenty hours afterwards . He was unable to identify either ofthe men who ill-used him , and as they were not seen by his wife or daughter , they have consequently escaped the hands of justice . With respect to the prisoners , however , they wero immediately sworn to . On the 4 th of June the prisoners were apprehended . Before Mitchell was told what he was taken in custody for , he said , I" was not at Rothera's house ; I was in bed at the time . " —Ml * Hardy , for Snowden , endeavoured to prove an alibi , but he failed in establishing it . —His Lordshi p remarked that the crime of which the prisoners had been convicted was of so aggravated a nature , that sentence of death would be recorded against them . That sentence would not be carried into effect , but they might expect to undergo a lengthened period of transportation — at the very least eighteen years .
WORCESTER , July 16 . Ikcekious Burglars . — -Thomas Withcrford , aged 25 , boatman , was charged with a burglary in the house of Mi * . Henry Stibbs , farmer , residing at Warndon , near Alvechurch , in this county . The robbery , as it appeared in evidence , was effected during the nig ht of the ICth of Juno last , in a somewhat clever manner . It appeared that the pro-: secutbr , after retiring to rest , was aroused by three men knocking loudly at the door , and upon the window being opened they informed him that , in passing his fields , they saw the cows fighting
furiously , and advised him by all means to go and part them . The prosecutor immediately dressed himself , and opened the door , when the men immediately seized him , and , before he had time to give an alarm , he was dragged to the granary , where the ruffians bound and gagged him , and then robbed the house of two £ 5 notes and a quantity of bacon , with which they got clear off . The prisoner was recognised as one of the men , and , after a short trial , was found " Guilty " and , a previous conviction for felony having been put in against him , he was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation .
LINCOLN , July 16 . . Commission of Escheat—Statute op Mortmain—FORFEITURE OP ESTATES ' TO THE CROWN . —This Was an inquiry under a commission of escheat , consisting of John Mellor , Esq ., C . S . Denison , Esq ., and L . 0 . T . D'Eyncourt , Esq , to ascertain what property the late Maria Serena Lowe , of Boston , was seized and possessed of at thc time of her death on the 27 th May , 1835 , and to find if there were any heirs to the same . —It was proved hy the production of several _title-jleeds that Miss Lowe was the owner of a farm in the Pew Ends , of two pasture fields in Kirbeck Quarter , and two houses in Boston Churchyard . By her will , dated 28 th July , 1828 , she left one" of these houses to her friend , Ann Oates , for her
lifetime , and , after her death , to the Vicar and Churchwardens of Boston , for the use of the dispensary . Miss Oates is still alive . The other houses , the fields , and the form , * she left to her servant Sarah Wake , for her life-time , subject to the yearly fine of - £ 30 for repairs of Boston Church ; and £ 20 per year for four single women of good character ; and , after her death , all to revert to Boston Church . Sarah Wake died 25 th August , 1811 ; and her brother , after a time occupied the house in the churchyard , The arrears of rent are £ 69 , but he claimed £ 62 for repairs , and this set off was allowed . . The tenant of the farm , John Bland , has paid no rent since 18-11 , and his arrears amount to £ 030 . Thc birth and death of Miss Lowe , her father ,
mother , and aunt were proved , and Mr , Rayner , Solicitor to the Treasury , proved insertion of advertisement , 'To heirs at law and next of kin' of the deceased in tho London Gazette the Times of the 13 thand 15 th of March , 1849 , andinthe Lincolnshire Advertiser . Several parties replied , but none with the shadow of a claim except one from Herefordshire , who said that Mary Lowe , deceased ' s aunt , was the sister of his grandfather , but he failed to prove the lineage . Several aged witnesses proved , some that they had never heard Miss Lowe mention having any relations , and others who had heard her say that she had none whatever . —Mr . Mellor ( Chief Commissioner ) then summed up to . the jury . He said that by the 9 th of Geo . II ., persons were
prevented from devising lands and tenements by will to charitable purposes ; there had been a variety of previous statutes on the subject , parties having been induced when on then * death-beds to devise lands to religions nses ( under an impression that it would be forthe good of their souls ) , to the injury of their rightful heirs . Tims ecclesiastical corporations had been benefitted by such bequests , and kings and queens injured . By the 9 Geo . II ., a gift of lands and tenements for charitable uses must be made good by deed , which deed must be enrolled twelve months before the death of deceased ; in this case there was no deed , therefore the will was void , and the estates reverted to the heir-at-law , and , failing thc finding of any heirs , it became forfeited to the crown . The bequest thus made to Sarah Wake was
therefore forfeited to his late Majesty King William _, but he not having asserted his claim , it descended to her present Majesty Queen Victoria , by virtue of her royal prerogative ; the bequest , made to Ann Oates would at her death likewise become forfeited tothe Queen . The annual value of the property was £ 170 a year . —A juror inquired as tothe appropriation of the funds ?—The presiding commissioner stated that depended entirely on the will of the crown , and it would be a matter of grace and favour if her Majesty was p leased to consider in any measure the wishes ot the previous owner . In tlie Er esent instance the crown had : not . interfered ,-but ad sent the commission on the petition ofthe vicar and churchwardens of Boston _.-r _: The estate , with arrears of rent due , were then found to have escheated to the crown .
Horribl-g Case of Matricide . —J ; Ward , aged 26 , was indicted for the wilful murder of his mother , Martha Ward , at Thorpe , next Wainfleet , on the 9 th of April last . —Mr . Adams stated the case on the part of the prosecution , and Mr . Wilmoro conducted the defence . The prisoner , his deceased mother , and another memher of the family with a female servant , lived in a small farm-house The prisoner had repeatedly made overtures of intimacy to the servant , which she declined , and his mother remonstrated with hun upon his conduct . He ceased his importunities for awhile , but again resumed them , and the girl threatened to leave the house He offered to marry her , but both the girl and the mother were averse to such a step The prisoner then endeavoured to effect his object by force . On the morning ofthe murder , he had had some words with his mother about the servant and used threats towards her . In the afternoon he entered the house with a gun in his hand , and finding his mother asleep in her arm-chair , he levelled
the gun at her , and deliberatel y shot her through the head . She died instantaneousl y . The servant was the only , other person in the house . Of course she was exceedingly terrified , and wished to call for assistance ; but the prisoner prevented her , and threatened her unless she accompanied him She parleyed with him for some time , and was at _len-jth induced to promise him that she would go away with him if he would ; let her go up stairs' and eh her clothes . He consented to this , and she then escaped and gave an alarm . The- prisoner , finding she had eluded him , also left the house-and secreted himself , but was soon afterwards found in an out-house lying on the ground , having made a slight * attempt to cuthisihroat . He was , taken into custody and committed . _^ Mi _' .

The prisoner was the only witness mthe case / and he swore most ; positively to the truth of his charge ; upon which tho girl was convicted and sentenced to seven , years' transportation .

Incenmarism . —Benjamin Cross , 28 , a miserable looking man , was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a stack of wheat , the property of Samuel _Newcome , with intent to-injure him , Mr . Hodwell conducted the prosecution . —The prosecutor is a farmer at Orsett , in this county , and the fire in question occurred on the night of the 1 st of June . The prisoner shortly before the fire applied to the relieving officer for assistance ,- which was refused him . About ten o ' clock on the night in question the prisoner applied at the station ofthe county police , at Orsett , for relief , and the inspector on duty told him he had no power to relieve him , and he must ; go to the parish officer . The prisoner replied that he had been there already , and the parish would do nothing for him , and as he was going away
he said that he would give the police a job before long . He then went away in a direction towards the prosecutor ' s farm , and he was seen near the wheat stack by a lad belonging to the neig hbourhood , with whom he entered into conversation , and in the course of it he expressed his intention to have a ilare-up among the prosecutor's wheat stacks . Very soon after this the stack in question was discovered tobe on fire , and before any effectual assistance could be rendered , the whole of it was destroyed , the value of the rick being estimated at between three and four hundred pounds . The prisoner subsequently admitted to a labourer , named Oliffo , that he had committed the act because he could not get relief from the parish . —The jury , without any hesitation , returned a verdict of " Guilty , " and the Lord Chief Baron sentenced him to be transported for fifteen years . "
July 19 . Deserting an * Infant . —Extraordinary Case . — Jonathan Henry Price , described in the calendar as a dissenting minister , and _Priscilla Ruffell , a girl about twenty , surrendered to take their trial upon an indictment which charged them iwith feloniously deserting an illegitimate infant , tothe inclemency of the weather , with intent to murder it , and with a view to relieve themselves from , the burden of maintaining the child , and tocastitupon the parish . The case appeared to excite a great deal of interest , and the court was crowded during thc trial by members ofthe male prisoner ' s congregation , aud others who were anxious to hear the proceedings .
Evidence having been given , the Lord Chief Baron summed up , and the jury , after a short deliberation , returned a verdict of Guilty" against both defendants upon that count of the indictment which charged their intent to be to burden the parish with the maintenance of the child , but they accompanied their verdict by a recommendation to mercy for the female . —His lordship then sentenced Price to be imprisoned for twelve , and Ruffell for three months . —Before the prisoners were taken from the bar Price addressed the court , and said that the child in question was not his child , and that his fellow prisoner had had an illegitimate child before . His lordship made no answer to the observation , and the prisoners were then removed .
NOTTINGHAM , July 20 . Arson . —S . Wilcoekson , aged 4 A , labourer was indicted for arson . It appeared that until aboutsix months ago the prisoner was tenant . of three thatched cottages , under the Earl of Stamford , at Newthorpc _.--Atthe time alluded to , his lordship disposed of the cottages to Gervasc Clifton , a farmer , who discharged the prisoner from bis tenancy , and re-let the cottages . Wilcoekson complained at the time that Mr . Clifton had bought thc property over his head , ' and refused to allow him anything for fixtures , but that he should never live to
enjoy thc fruits of his purchase . At another time he said there would shortly be a " bonny blaze " in the parish . At ten o ' clock on the night of the 8 th of May last , the cottages having been cleared by execution , and newly tenanted , the prisoner went to a neig hbouring public-house , where he sat for about three hours . At one o ' clock on the morning ofthe 9 th hc started to go home , but , before leaving , he purchased of the landlady a box of lucifer matches , say ing , " Now I shall have ' a light to go to bed by . " A few minutes afterwards he was observed lurking about the three cottages , and directly afterwards a fire broke out in the thatch at the back of
one in the centre , and was with difficulty subdued _. The inmates of all three cottages were asleep at the time , and many of them were not awakened until all danger was past . Verdict , ' * Guilty . " Sentence , fifteen years' transportation .
Middlesex Sessions-Tuesday, Robbery.—Law...
MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-Tuesday , Robbery . —Lawrence Goodwin , a dirty-looking Irishman , was indicted for stealing two handkerchiefs , os ., and other articles , from the person of William Archer . —It appeared that the prosecutor was chief mate oftho barque Othello , lying in St . Katharine ' s Dock , and the prisoner was a wellknown " crimp , " or one of a class of persons who oiter about the various docks to pick up sailors or lodging-houses . On arriving at the dock gate on the evening of the 9 th inst ., the prosecutor found that he was locked out ; and on turning round ho encountered the prisoner , vtho evidentl y was on the lookout for sailors , placed inthe same predicament . The prisoner told him that if he wanted a lod ging for the night , he could be accommodated at a house
of his in Match-walk , Shadwell . The prosecutor consented to go there ; and on arriving at the house he was shown into a bedroom . He " turned in" with all his clothes on , as he was very tired , and wished to get to his ship as soon as he could in the morning ; and he had not been long asleep before he was awakened by some person cautiously opening the bedroom door . He lay quiet , and saw the prisoner advance to the bed side , and being resolved to see what the object of this untimely visit was , he pretended tb be fast asleep . The prisoner then untied the handkerchief round the prosecutor ' s neck , which he put in his pocket , and he then proceeded to turn out the contents of all his pockets , which he transferred to his own . As he was about to leave
the room the prosecutor jumped up and collared him , charging him with having plundered liini . The prisoner , with a volley of oaths , protested that he had never touched either him or his property ; when the prosecutor recollecting that tho reputation of the neighbourhood was a very bad one , and fearing that if he raised an alarm some of the prisoner ' s associates in the house might maltreat him , again went to bed , determined to bring the affair to a conclusion when he got up . Accordingly , when he went down stairs at seven o ' clock , he accused the prisoner of having robbed him . The latter denied that he had ever been in the room , upon which the prosecutor called in a policeman and _gaye the
_prisoner into custody . A woman , who appeared to be the prisoner ' s wife , went to a bedside and pulled out the neck-tie , which she said she found on the stairs . —The prisoner , when called upon for his defence , in a rich racy brogue , protested that he was the victim of a perjured conspirator . —The jury found the prisoner •« Guilty "—The learned Judge said that this was a very serious case . The prisoner , it seemed , was the landlord of a lodging-house , and no doubt all tha poor sailors coaxed into it were robbed in the manner the prosecutor had been . He felt bound to pas 3 such a sentence as would have the effect of an example upon these " crimps" and lodging-housekeepers , and that sentence was , that the prisoner be transported for seven years .

He went to . No , ou Castle-street , Leicester-square , and onentermg tne shop he saw the prisoner , td whom ho gave the _advertisement , and asked him for the book _ therein named . The defendant demanded two guineas as
the price of the book , and wanted to know where lie should send thc work when he procured it . Witness said he would call again , and having paid the defendant the money he left the shop . On his return in about twenty minutes he saw the prisoner , who gave him the book produced . Witness , before leaving the shop , looked at the book , and told the prisoner that he thought he ( defendant ) had given him the wrong book . Defendant said it was the right book which answered to the advertisement hc had brought . He then took the book to his employer . Cross-examined : Told the defendant that wanted the book for a friend in Switzerland . He was not in the habit of reading such books or purchasing them . The book was for a customer of MrDavis's . Mr . Davis was not in the habit of
. mirchasing such books tor his customers . Witness did not agree to abandon the present charge if the money was returned . —Police-Sergeant 293 A stated that on Monday night , about seven o clock , he went to defendant's shop , accompanied by the last witness . On seeing the defendant , he asked him if he sold the book' produced to the complainant . The defendant replied , that he had no knowledge of it at all , and that he did not sell the book . Witness then told him that he must consider himself m custody , and conveyed him to the station . Witness subsequently searched the shop , and found a number of obscene books and prints , some of which were exposed for sale , and the whole of which he now produced . —Mr . Davis stated that the
advertisement was so worded as to lead any person to believe that tho work advertised was the authentic life of Lola Montes . A nobleman now residing in Switzerland , and who was a customer ofhis , had seen the advertisement , and believing that the book contained the life of that celebrated danseusc , he had written to him to purchase it for him . On receiving the book he ( Mr . Davis ) found its contents to be of the most obscene nature . He , therefore , adopted the present proceedings , in order to put a stop to the sale of such immoral publications . —Mr . Bingham held the defendant to bail , in two sureties of -fc 50 each , to . appear at the Quarter Sessions , to answer any charge t hat might be preferred against him .

When near Church-street the prisoner ran np to her and suddenly seized hold of her purse and attempted to pull it from her . She , however , retained one end of it , and called out "Police , " but the prisoner pulled her down Churchstreet , making use of dreadful oaths , and in the struggle the purse broke andthe money fell on the pavement . She stopped to pick it up , and while doing so the prisoner made his escape with the other end of her purse and six shillings . A

' s lead warehouse , Great George-street , Bermondsey , and stealing a silk umbrella , eight-day clock , and other articles , There were also other charges ofa similar nature against him . —Gardiner , police-constable 79 M , stated that during the last two years a vast
number of churches and chapels had been robbed in the vicinity ofthe Metropolis , but neither property nor thieves could be found until May , 1848 , when the prisoner , and a man named Cobbett , were apprehended , and charged with breaking into St . Mary ' s Church , Old Kent-Road . The property stolen therefrom was found on Cobbett , and both of them were tried at the Old Bailey , when thc latter was transported for seven years , and the prisoner sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment . Since that time witness had ascertained that the same parties had been connected with the other robberies mentioned , in the charge . He consequently went to Guildford House of Correction , and took the prisoner into custod y on the day of his liberation . He had been able to trace most of the property , and
_had" * since found out the party who pledged them . She was sister to the transport , and cohabited with the prisoner . —Several witnesses having been examined , the principal of whom wa 3 Mary Cobbett , tho transport ' s sister , to whom the stolen property had beon given by tho prisoner and his associate for the purpose of pawning it . —Mr . Cottingham said there were four cases he could commit the prisoner for , but as further evidence was wanted to complete the others he should -remand him for a week . With respect to thc female , she must be in attendance , and to ensure that ho should order her to find a surety for that purpose , as he very much doubted tho judge would order , her to be placed alongside the prisoner .

produced , a pair pistols , one of which he took up , cocked it , and presented it at witness , saying , "I could take your life this moment if I chose , and if you appeal to the law , I will settle the business summarily . " Prior to tbis he offered witness one of the pistols , and challenged him to fight a duel . He ( witness ) said he would decline that mode of satisfaction , and he should appeal to the law for protection . —Mr . Combe : Are you aware whether the pistols were loaded or not ? —Witness : I know they were loaded . Witness's brother having corroborated this statement , Mr .

Wednesday , Jm . _x 18 . —With wheat we continue very scantily supplied , whilst of oats and barley the arrivals are again large . The weather continuing favourable for the growing crops , and peace being believed to be restored between Germany and Denmark , by which the Baltic and Gorman ports will again be opened for tlie reception of supplies of grain from tiiose quarters , our trade is influenced by these circumstances to the demani being confined to immediate want , that prices of every article are to-day almost nominal .

"With home-fed-beasts ' we were tolerably well , but not to say heavily supplied , the general quality ot the arrivals from the north was decidedly good . The dead markets being very scantily supplied , And the attendance of buyers on the increase , the beef trade was steady , at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last , and at which a good clearance was effected . A few of the primest Scots sold at 4 s ; but the more general top figure for beef was 3 s lOd per Slbs . The numbers of sheep were again on the increase , and large , the time of year considered . Still , however , the demand for that description of stock was firm , at fully last week ' s quotations . A very few prime old Downs produced 4 s . per Slbs . There was a steady , but not to say brisk , inquiry for lambs , the supply of which was good , at the late decline in value . Prime small calves moved off steadily , at full prices .

DEATHS _ir'S _^? _* J « r _*?? ? informs us * _tf the _death of _•**» _™ _S ; of that city , for some time ( 1848 ) Dublin correspondent to this journal . We take the following tribute to _thememoiTofOiedeceasedfromthe _above-namedpaper : _- ' T ir _™ S l WaS Wel i kn M _^ the P uWic b _J _e initials ,. _£ •• winch were subscribed to manv of the best _nnemi _pubhshedmthe columns of the A _' atfo _^ a _, _^ tin _TuTo _™ In our time , that is a miserable patrimouv' These aw ti _£ Michel remarked , m sorip than in Scripture . We hare returned to the iron age , and the poet is _redded as n _Mtmntan . Poetry is surplus , _andfte demfnd do _« not equal the supply . Poor Keegan knew tlus well -hi _Cl bitter experience of its truth . He wa 3 a contributor _^„ _Sf _* f ° S _^ J an d tlie best _aiHcles wSh ap . ? _iffn , i _i ! i !

_reople , and understood them well . There were no legends , familiar to the peasantry , with which . he was not acquainted . His poems were thoroughly idiomatic , and racy ofthe soil . They were , the Irish heart translated and set to music . __ They touched us more , than the polished lines of drawing-room bards , because tliey did * not consecrate affectation , but showed us ourselves . The charm ol his poetry was its characteristic simplicity . Like the mistress of Horace—simp lex munditiis— it did hot require the gewgaws of fancy , it was plain and exquisite hi its truth . At the time of his death he was preparing a volume of _taletfor the press ; ho died before they , were completed . Even in a fragmentary state , the works of such a man deserve publication , and wc hope to see them , before long , in the hands of our readers . " - "" . " AtBlackhill , near Berry Edge , Mr .
