" Fine Drawing a Eat Hole . —A pawnbroker was summoned before the Lord Mayor , at the Mansion-house , by a poor woman under the following circumstances : —The complainant stated that having been obliged a Bhort time ago . to make up her rent , she took her son ' * best coat and pawned it . Upon going to release the article she received the buidle to be . sure , but the coat upon being held up to the light displayed almost is many holes as a ladder . She could riot think of submitting to such a loss , and asked the pawnbroker to remunerate her ; but he said that all goods left to pledge must run their chance of moth and rust , and other modes of decay , and refused to make her reparation for the damage
done . The Lord Mayor asked by what means the coat became so much injured I Complainant : The rats got in and gnawed it in several places . The LoriJ Mayor : The rats I The clothes must be kept in a very improper place where vermin of that kind have access to them . The complainant said that pawnbrokers' rats were exceedingly ravenous , for there was never anything eatable to be seen about their premises ., A person might as well expect to see a piece of dead jackass as a piece of butcher's meat in such a place . A pawnbroker too was quite unlike any other sort of man . The Lord Mayor : You don ' t mean to say that they would not care whether the rats destroyed the clothes of their
customers ? I am aware that in the disagreeable department of their business they are unavoidably likely to foster other sorts of vermin , but I am sure that rats never entered their ' contemplation . The Complainant ! Ay , W they enter their shelves and their cupboards , though . My poor son ' s coat is like a riddle . The Lord Mayor : And did the pawnbroker offer to do nothing for you ? Complainant : Yes , he offered to finedraw the * holes . Tals of finedrawing the holes j who ever knowed of a body finedrawing a rat hole ? ( Laughter . ) The Lord Mayor : How much money would stop up the rat-hole ? Complainant : Ten shillings would do the business . The Lord Mayor : Then I shall tell him to finedraw your coat with half-a-sovereign . ( A laugh . )

Hailroad Accident near Birmingham . — As three countrymen were walking on the railroad on "Wednesday morning , at the time the train was approaching , cue of them , in endeavouring to escape , slipped down , and before the engineer could stop the train , the wheels pas . « ed over his neck , and nearly severed his head from his body ; the other two men escaped . The Murder at Lambeth . —The murderer of Eliza Grimwood is ? till undiscovered . The police are incessant in their exertions , and the daily papers of the week have several columns of detail connected with the inquiry . ]^ o new fact , however , of any importance , has transpired during the week . Hub
bard continues in the same agitated state , and xmokes and drinks immoderately . The inquest terminated on Saturday , when , after hearing several witnesses , the Coroner proceeded to address the Jury . "He said— " Mr . Foreman and Gentlemen of the Jun ' , sicceour last meeting I have taken the liberty of drawing opt a few observations , after well-considering the . evidence ; but before 1 read them to you , I should wish to know whether you desire the whole of the evidence to b % read over or not . ( Several of the Jury here said that such a course was quite unnecessary , zs they had taken full notes of the proceedings . ) The Coroner then proceeded : The case you are now engaged in still continues one of great mysterr . It
is one that has occasioned you considerable trouble , from its being esdeedingly " difficult to elucidate any facts that would tend w ' rlx tae criminality on auv one particular individual . There cannot , I thiiik . be a- doubt remaining on the mind of any oae of yea tbat a -murder of the most horrid and atrocious character has been commuted . It is satisfactory to me takuow that throusrhout the whole of the inquiry you have diligently discharged your duty in paying the deepest attention to the evi-ience giwn by every oue of the Tritees * es . That attention will now enable me to make observations m mor ^ roncise terms than 1 otherwise should have done . Having myself very minutely attended to the evidence a-Wnced , 1 will at
once proceed to draw your attwitiuji to the different facts , commencing with the . sUtemeut jnven by Uubbiird at bis first exxumnation , aud . Jroni which he certainly never after deviated . From his atatemeut it appears that he retired to bed at nine on Friday night , and never left it till after five du the Saturday morning . On going down stairs bis attention w ;> s taken b y seeing a candlestick in the passage ( which candlestick has been proved to be the one given to the deceased on the night previous ) . Finding her door open , he feared something had happened ; and , looking info the room , he saw what he described as a bundle of clothes lyragon the floor near the door , and that which -was afterwards ascertained to be her
knee , , le thought was a craw-fish . Becoming alarmed , he went up stairs to call Mr . Best . And it must be here remarked that it is not unlikely nor improbable , that he did not in the first instance call that gentleman , although lie opened the door , but went back and ascertained if it was the deceased , and then called him . __ I think I need not go into the description of the position of the bodv , gentlemen , as you all saw it . 1 ou also heard ^ Hubbard describe the state of the bed , and his impression , as well as that of the surgeons and other witnesses , that it had been laid on by two persons—whicb . fact ought not to be lost sight of , for it clearly shews that some person had been with her—that fact also bears out the
teRumony of the servant girl and Mr . Best , ghe having let a person in with the deceased , and he having heard the voice of a male person on her entrance . Also , by the girl ' s statement , it is shown that the deceasedreinained withthatpersonsome time before she went to the servant to desire her to . go to bed . It is not improbable that the person was about to depart without making her a gratuity ; if so , the fact of her being found in the place seen would lead to the presumption that she was forcibly endeavouring to prevent bis egress , and if so it" As not improbable that he , to escape , did make the ; first assault on the back of the neck , and then , to , present detection , immediately destroyed her by cutting her throat . I ainl ' urther strengthened in this opinion , ai no noise was heard . It . wasthen easy for that person * to let himself ont , and having the lighted candle , he was
enabled to see how to unlatch the door . ' Having opened the door , he placed the candlestick in the passage , which the servant states contained . the evening previous about half a candle , which , she lit for ier miatress before she came home ; and you ' will recollect £ h& ; medical genfleman stated ^ : jtHat she must ' hire : "been deai three or four honrsi which ¦ wouldshbw . that the horrid deed wasdone soon after € he girl Trent tit bed , as it was discovered at five , and she came hoinet > etsreen twelve and one .- -Th ' e-fact of the blood not being left on Hip front door may be accounted for . ia JJufeewajB . First , that there were towels in . the room , on -which the-numster'a : hands might hare been wiped ; secondly , be inight have put on gloves , and thereby Jeftiiomarkst ^ irdly , if the deed was ¦ committed by the person who . petered , it was most probable , even if blood was on hia hands , that he took Ae precaution , to cdTierthemby

As regards fhe testimony of the witness , O . weni , I must leave you to consider TrhatTeliancef caa be placed on it . > You must remember the manner in which he gave his testimony , and the presumption placed on it by the witness Grants and I
win appeal to you to ask yourselves if you t ^ ink it probable that any man having committed such an act , would be so lost to every regard for his own safety as to open the front door and use the exclamation which he states he heard , particularly when no noise was heard in the house . Again , it is not probable , if such did take place ^ that he ( Owen ) would have mentioned it to the persons he . met en the bridge ? I think I need not recapitulate the whole of the evidence . These observations appear to me the most important for your consideration , and 1 must now leave you well to consider whether you think the evidence yon have received fully sufficient to fix the guilt on any individual , and on whqin , or whether , from the mystery in which this case still remains involved , that you cannot form a just
conelusion who is the guilty paTty ; then , if the latter , it would be much better to return a general yerHict , when we will hope that some circumstance hereafter may transpire , as in the case of Greenacre , to brine the guilty to condign punishment . The inquestroom having been cleared of strangers , the jury consulted for about half an hour , and on the reporters ' admission the foreman of the jury , addressing : the coroner , said that he and his brother iurors had attended willingly , and watched vigilantly the inquiry , and had endeavoured by all the means in their power to discover the offender . They had weighed the evidence that had been adduced before them , and they were satisfied no charge was established apamst any particular person who had been
named . Under such circumstances they unanimously found a verdict of « Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown . " The Coroner siddhe hoped the jury would not think that he had occupied their time unnecessarily by putting what might appear to them to be trifling questions , but which sometimes led to the development of important facts . ( Hear . ) The foreman of the jury , on behalf of himself and brother jurors , then complimented the coroner for his patience , and the police for th » if activity . The inquiry terminated shortly before five o clock , and , in the whole , has occupied 35 hours . Apprehexsiox of two Men ron the Mukdeh OF £ " ? A finniwoop . It appears that since the finding of the coroner's jury , in which their
verdict in some degree exculpates Hubbard , a gentleman , whose name-did sot in the course of the morning trans pire , left a communication with Mr Okey , landlord of the Hero of Waterloo , in the \\ aterloo-road , addressed to Air . Carter , the coroner , and ui which tbft writer- announces - . th-at ha -aanompanied the deceased home ; from the Strand Theatre on the night of the murder , and while he was in bed with her , a man answering Hubbard ' s description entered the room in a violent rage , and ., after using very strong language towards the writor , pushed him with great force out of the house into the road—tbat in the scuffle that arose during these proceedings the man frequently tjacnlated that the deceased was his wife , and upbraided her for darinjr to brine a
stranger to her bed . The gentleman added that he left his gloves in the confusion that took place , a f ; tct which is fully confirmed by Inspector Field , who found a pair in the room the morning of the discovery of the murder . The writer concludes that he had hoped sufficient would have transpired before the coroners jury to have implicated Hubbard . and rendered it unnecessary for him to have come forward ; but that not baring turned out to be the case , he considers justice demands his appearance . As soon a * Mr . Carter received the communication he forwarded it to Mr . Grinseil , the superintendent of the police , who lost no time in waiting upon the commissioners to receive instruction ;' . The result was , that Hubbard ^ as apprehended a \ two o ' clock this
morning ( Monday . ) at his brother ' s , in the neighbourhood of the Borough , aud conveyed to the station-house , in Tower-street , Lambeth , from , which place it was in tended to convey him this morning to Union Hall Police-office , but at the desire of the magistrates Ms rembvaV was delayed until ' a' late hour , in consequence of the immense crowd of persons round the office , the report of his apprehension having spread far and wide . Hubbard , it . seems , quitted the scene of the horrid affair ( No . 12 , Wellington-terrace ) immediately after the termination of the coroner ' s inquest on Friday ; and on seeing Inspector Field , this morning , lie expressed considerable surpr ise , snd said , hethouirht he was exonerated from the charge by the verdict of the coroner's jury . It is rather extraordinary that since Hubbard ' s apprehensioB , his conduct has been strangely altered :
he now preserves the greatest cool-ness ; While the inquiry was pending before the coroner he continued in a state of mind bordering upon madness . Hubbard was brought up before Mr . Jeremy at a late hour this afternoon , and Inspector Field , and the brother of the deceased haying been examined , the prisoner was remanded for further examination . The writer of tlie letter had promised to come Forward . — A gentleman , connected with the Opera House , was also examined at Marlborough-street ^ having been apprehended on suspicion , from the circumstance of Ms personal appearance answering , in some degree , to that of the Italian , described by the girl , Edwin , in her evidence before the coroner's inquest . On being required to speak to his identity , Edwin said she could swear that he ^ asHot the man to whom her description applied . There being no evidence against him , he was instantly discharged .

$ much fol HtAPHiU at nr /> can » «« J : n - ' .- x- ' _ - _ " mucb for Cii 4 PH 4 M at present , and now to consider the case as regards Btjrwell . It , w ] n ^ found :. that the evidence of Bridget Cone is ^ irninutely borne outjluotoray ^ Vi ; , l ^ ngusigejiand aliens in : blood , V , but by hi gh ^; respectable naturalized evidence ;; . while- the eyi- ^ ^ enctfbr tbfi . ; defence was just : aa applicable to the ^ Canterbury maBsacre , ; as it was to ^ the- assault k BvWzvL WPnpffsvy Itiibci v to a mirid » ccuj ^ tompd ^ oTre > son upon legal points , it wiirappe ' ar . tba ^ tjie jtagistrates were trying the case of Cone in viDdication of Clapham , instead of the assault the calm
, andi , morepxer ^ reasoner will discover , that there were two separate transactions distinctlysworn to -by two distinct sets of / witnesses . The evidence ; for the defence indisputably prove * Coneys , case ; vthus v one and aU ; say that no i « ore ; thanvjthree , four , or five , or some few rxjore were present ^ when the , attention of-witness was attracted by the . brawl . Hence any person but ? i fool or a . Magistrate would , infer that the noise arose out of the provocation which Mrs . Cone received ^ froni being struck ^ auithat the ^ abrasiveslangu age , and die possession of the stone ( adruitting it to be true ) , ' was a consequence of the assault . Just the number of
witnesses produced by BaiDGET Cone , were sWorrt to be present b y the witnesses , who depose to the provocation which the " mild" policeman received after he had twice struck a woman large in the family loayl It is unite certain that BukwEtii Struck Cone from tEe evidence of bis own witness . She is represented as teing in a stateof great excitement , cla pping her hands , inveighing against the policeman , and declaring that she will have him stripped of his jacket . '' Now , this is material , for Mrs . Cone well knew that a Leeds policeman must be guilty of a high offence before he could be ^ stripped of his jacket" "We do not
mean to insult any of the respectable persons whoappeared for the defeace ; on the contrary , we candidly admit that their evidence is quite consistent with the facts , which are these—Burwell struck Cone . Cone was naturally excited , and abused Burweli / , which abuse they heard , but did not see the provocation . The witnesses for . Cone are all proved to be respectable . But even taking a Clapham view of their inadmissibility in the first ease , will any sane man believe , that four or . five respectable-persons ( English , mark ) would come a
second time , for the purpose of perjuring themselves ? No ; it is too monstrous . But eVen all thesei-fftets ^ are trifles compared to the one simple fact of Ewza-SETa ; FiBLD , about ; whomv the riot o ^ igirtated y being kept out of ^^ the way . We have made diligent search—the Cone's , who were old acquaintances ^ have made diligent search ^ -for this girl , but . she ia not to be . found . She could prove all , and . Burwell and Clapham knew this , and they know where she is . Why not produce her ? Again ; let the public judge of the manner in which the
evidence has been ferretted out . On Thursday , Burwell is served with a summons to appear on Saturday ; and Thursday night and Friday night are devoted to a canvass for evidence by the police and , night watch ; some of the witnesses are taken to be examined at an Attorney ' s office , and thus , although Clapham convicted upon the evidence of Burwell , contradicted flatly by . his own witness Garside , the Bench , in the ease of Burweh . throw aside all the evidence -agreeing to appoint for the prosecution , and acquit upon evidence wholly foreign to the transaction . However , let not the people despond . We mu 3 t have the , matter sifted
before a higher" tribunal , and we must know how far Irishmen and women are to bear insult before they become their own avengers . It is a notorious fact , that murders have been committed in Ireland arising out of circumstances of precisely , a similar nature , —justice . applied for ;¦ but refused , till at length the people . discover that vengeance is the only retribution , within their , reach , and vengeance they accordingly take ; and , if justice is not done ia this ease , the inhabitants of Leeds will suffer in , their pockets ; for , let them be assured , that We must have a large accession of Claphams and Burwells . If the . Irish are once convinced that the
reign of tyranny . so , long prevalent in their flwn . csuntry , has been commenced in this , "Whe never , hereafter , Irishmt 5 n , oT .. IrishWoHien ' are"irisultVd by a policeman , reason , wiltat . onc ^ dictate ^ t ^ aii application &r justice' wjll ; be met ; by insult t » themselves -and , their , cpuntryy ' But } however " the jDeeds :, Magisbrates may . hone to . screen ' au erring bi-other , we tell them , one and all ^ . that they Mall do their duty , and . administer th « law , impartially ip English and to Irish .
